Abstract:
Combination of the plastics lid (1) of a container and a plastics closure (2, 20) which is composed of a lower closure portion (2) with a closure foot (3), which lower closure portion can be fitted in an aperture of the lid (1), and a screw cap (20) which can be screwed onto a pouring spout (17) of the lower closure portion (2), wherein the edge of the lid aperture is provided with an annular circumferential web (4) facing towards the outside of the lid, which is in engagement with the closure foot (3) fitted in the lid aperture, and the closure foot (3) is configured U-shaped in cross-section, and grips around the web (4) with both U-arms (5, 6), wherein on the lid (1) a groove surrounding the web (4) is provided, in which the outer U-arm of the closure foot engages, wherein the U-shaped closure foot grips around the web, characterised in that the outer U-arm of the closure engages suitably in the groove in the manner such that its lower edge is protected from external access, and in that in the region of the groove and in the region of the outer arm of the closure foot engaging in the groove, mutual engaging elements (8, 9) are provided which form a twist-proof engagement between said closure foot and said lid, thereby preventing rotation of said lower closure portion when force is applied to said screw cap.
