Abstract
A screw closure is associated with a container mouth and is defined by a metal closure body having a closure panel and a peripheral skirt which extends to an inwardly and upwardly directed curl terminating in a free edge. An annular shoulder of the peripheral skirt cooperates with the curl to captively retain therebetween an upper portion of a plastic security ring joined to a lower portion by a line of weakening with the lower security ring portion being prevented from rotating relative to an associated container neck. The terminal end of the curl is seated in a recess of the security ring upper portion in deforming engagement therewith.
