Abstract
A closure for a container with a threaded neck has a generally cylindrical body member and a disc pivotally mounted thereon. The body member has a peripheral wall with a lower, internally threaded skirt portion and a transversely extending wall intermediate the axial length of the body member above the skirt portion. The peripheral wall and transversely extending wall define a generally cylindrical cup portion above the transversely extending wall, and the transversely extending wall has a slot adjacent the inner periphery of the peripheral wall. The disc seats in the cup portion and is pivotally mounted on the peripheral wall of the body member about its periphery spaced above the transversely extending wall. The disc has a depending leg portion which extends through the slot in the transversely extending wall, and is pivotable about the points to move the leg portion downwardly and upwardly in the slot. As a result, the leg portion may be moved downwardly through the transverse wall to engage in a recess in the neck of the container and may be moved upwardly to disengage therefrom.
