Abstract
A bottle finish and closure system is described. In some embodiments, ratchets on a finish engage ratchets on a closure, while allowing the free passage of the threads of the closure on those of the finish in one direction only, allowing a non-removable finish and closure system. In another series of embodiments, the same ratcheted finish may be employed with a non-ratcheted, i.e., conventional closure, due to the novel design of the finish ratchets, thereby producing a freely removable closure and finish system.
