Abstract

The cap is for use in closing the end of an opening as may be provided in a container. The cap has an elastomeric top which is deflectable by a presser plate urged toward the top and opening by a biasing spring. Deflection of the elastomeric top enables the cap to seat and adjust around the opening and accommodate variances therein.
