Claim 13:
14. A package, comprising:
a container configured to store pressurized contents, the container having a product storage region and a neck defining an opening; and
a closure having an inner shell and an outer shell;
wherein the inner shell includes an inner cover and inner skirt depending downwardly from the inner cover in a first axial direction;
wherein the inner cover includes at least one inner lug extending away from the inner cover in a second axial direction opposite the first axial direction;
wherein the outer shell includes a lid having at least one outer lug;
wherein the at least one outer lug is movable relative to the at least one inner lug in the first axial direction and the second axial direction between an engaged position and a disengaged position;
wherein in the disengaged position the at least one outer lug is able to rotate past the at least one inner lug when rotated in an opening direction;
wherein in the engaged position the at least one outer lug engages the at least one inner lug when rotated in an opening direction to cause opening direction rotation of the inner shell;
wherein the at least one inner lug includes an inner edge and an outer edge and wherein the at least one inner lug extends radially outwardly from the inner edge to the outer edge;
wherein the inner cover extends from the inner skirt downwardly in the first axial direction as it extends toward a central axis at a first angle such that the at least one inner lug is disposed downwardly farther in the first axial direction proximate the inner edge than proximate the outer edge to accommodate expected doming of the inner shell caused by the pressurized contents stored in the container; and
a tamper band extending downwardly from a skirt of the inner shell;
wherein the tamper band includes a portion that extends radially inwardly to engage a bead of the container.
