Abstract
A closure () that is suitable for attachment to a container () having an end portion defining an opening of the container. The closure comprises a top (), a skirt (), a support ring () that is engageable with the end portion of the container and which is hingedly connected to the skirt (), and a sealing rib (). The sealing rib () has a first portion () and a second portion (). The length of the second portion () is such that, during attachment of the closure () with the end portion of the container (), the end portion of the container contacts the second portion () and pushes it upwardly and at least towards the first portion () so as to form a seal between the end portion of the container () and the closure ().
