Abstract
A combination TIP-OFF cap and container closure and sealing means adapted for operative assembly to a container to seal an access opening therein, thereby to seal the contents of the container. The cap comprises an elongated exterior top portion and an open ended skirt depending therefrom and formed integrally therewith. The skirt has a lower edge removably secured to the container adjacent the access opening. The combination TIP-OFF cap and closure sealing means is conjointly operatively connected to and removable from the container as an integrated unit to provide an access to the contents of the container by application of a lateral tilting force against the elongated cap exterior portion at a position remote from the connection of the cap to the container. The sealing means comprises a resilient material integrated with the cap interior and disposed within the interior of at least the skirt portion and extending into a portion of the elongated exterior top portion of the cap which is sealingly engaged with and about the access opening with the cap operatively mounted on the container.
