Abstract

A closure including an upper wall (25) defining an opening (36) and a cylindrical snap on pipe (30) depending from the upper wall. The pipe includes threads (34) designed to mate with external threads on a neck of the bottle. The threads on the pipe and threads on the neck of the bottle pass over each other when the closure is snapped onto the bottle during manufacture. The pipe includes a resistance recess (42) and a guidance recess (70). The resistance recess and the guidance recess accommodate a forcing element (50) on a shoulder (80) of the bottle and permit unscrewing of the closure. The walls (44, 46) of the resistance recess are preferably symmetrical.
