2134568 9322210 PCTABS00027 A closure apparatus (60) for a container (50) includes an adapter (62) which is mounted on or otherwise integrally formed with the container adjacent the container opening (52), and a cap (64) which is movable between an opened position and a closed position over the container opening. A coupling mechanism comprised of slots (84, 86) and retention pins (106, 108) is provided for interconnecting the cap and the adapter so as to enable the cap to slide relative to the adapter between the opened and closed positions. A clamping mechanism, preferably provided by opposing ramped surfaces (80, 82, 102, 104) on the adapter and cap, is provided to cooperate with the coupling mechanism whereby the cap is urged into pressing engagement with the adapter over the container opening as the cap slides into the closed position.
