Abstract
A plug for use in a cap assembly of a refill capsule is disclosed. The plug () generally comprises a hollow tubular body () with an open proximal end that is surrounded by a first rim () that provides a proximal abutment surface for bearing against a frangible sealing component of a cap assembly. A tubular skirt wall () is arranged coaxially with respect to the tubular body, and extends around the skirt wall () to form a plug recess () between the skirt wall () and the tubular body (). The skirt wall () extends from a skirt distal end at which the skirt wall () is connected to the tubular body (), to a free proximal end. The free proximal end of the skirt comprises an outwardly extending flange () comprising a distal facing abutment surface () for abutting a rim () of a refillable vessel ().
