Abstract
A polymeric closure assembly includes inner and outer shells. The inner shell includes a top wall portion and a skirt portion. The top wall portion of the inner shell forms a recess and includes ratchet teeth. The outer shell includes a top wall portion and a skirt portion. The top wall portion of the outer shell includes inner and outer portions. The outer portion of the outer shell is detachably connected to the inner portion of the outer shell by frangible connections. The top wall portion of the outer shell includes a retention projection and ratchet teeth. The retention projection is received and contained within the recess to assist in engaging the inner and outer shells after breaking of the frangible connections. The ratchet teeth of the inner and outer shells cooperate to assist in providing torque transfer to assist in threading the polymeric closure assembly and the container.
