Abstract:
1. A composite closure for mating with a container having a finish that includes threads formed thereon, the closure comprising: a flange; a skirt depending downwardly from a periphery of the flange and including a protrusion extending from an interior surface of the skirt, the skirt comprising a first material; an insert disk disposed within the skirt and substantially beneath the flange; and a molded deformable element disposed on the interior surface of the skirt below the protrusion, the deformable element being spaced apart from the insert disk such that the insert disk is floatable, the deformable element comprising a second material and being deformable by the container threads to impress closure threads into the deformable element, the skirt protrusion is configured to restrict axial deformation of the deformable element towards the flange upon mating the closure with the container.
