Abstract
An adaptor and a closure are formed with precision surfaces as by injection molding so that the closure can be attached to the adaptor without the use of excessive force to create a secondary seal. The adaptor-closure can then be attached to an imprecisely formed threaded container such as an extrusion-blow molded bottle to create a primary seal. The adaptor is permanently retained on the container with securing by thread wedging, cooperating ratchet teeth or the like.
