Plastic cap and container construction

Abstract

A blow molded or injection molded plastic container has a neck formed with a substantially horizontal flat top, an internal substantially vertical first sealing surface, a groove, a very smooth second sealing surface of less diameter than the first sealing surface and a lower groove and then a vertical stretch which merges into a breast which widens out to the full size of the container, an external first vertical surface, a horizontal inwardly extending soulder, an indented second vertical surface of lesser diameter than the first vertical surface and an external bead, and a third vertical surface at about the level of the vertical stretch. The second sealing surface has an 'injection finish' obtained by use of a blow pin in the mold. The cap has upper and lower internal beads (which seat under the shoulder and external bead of the neck) interrupted in a plurality of gaps, permitting stretching of the cap to seat on the neck. The top disc has a flexible peripheral flange which may be gripped to lift the cap when the bottom of the skirt is torn off.
