<p>A closure for containers of the easy opening type. The closure consists of a wall (13) for one end of the container (11). The wall (13) has an upstanding peripheral flange (19). A continuous score line (21) in the wall (13) defines a tear portion (23) which is only partially removable from the wall (13). The score line (21) is interrupted to form an unscored section (31). A tab (35) is attached to the tear portion (23) for rupturing the score line (21) and enabling separation of the tear portion (23) from the wall (13) along the score line (21). Upon separation of the tear portion (23) from the wall (13) along the score line (21), the tear portion (23) remains attached to the wall (13) at the unscored section (31) and may be folded into a position in which it lies in the confines of the wall (13) and in the space defined between the wall and the outer edge of the upstanding flange (19).</p> |
