Abstract:
1. A composite closure for coupling with a container, comprising: an insert disk including a curl formed at a periphery thereof; and a band including: the closure having a fully tightened position in which the ring contacts the disk, a loose position in which the ring is spaced apart from the disk, and an intermediate tightened position in which the ring is spaced apart from the disk and in which the contact surface urges against the curl, the intermediate tightened position being between the fully tightened position and the loose position, wherein the fins have a first, as-molded state prior to application of the closure onto the container and a second, fully applied state in which the fins deformably receive at least a portion of the curl upon application of the closure onto the container, whereby the fins engage the curl to removably secure the band to the disk.
