Abstract:
1. In combination, a container having an open neck and a resealable sealing assembly that provides both an ex-factory sealing condition and a resealed condition for the container, the sealing assembly comprising: a foil engaging the neck and providing a primary seal in the ex-factory sealing condition; a tubular spout surrounding and fitted to the neck; an over cap having means for removable engagement with an outer wall of the spout; a plug connected to the over cap, the plug having a base plate that is directly and weldingly sealed to and supporting the foil in the ex-factory sealing condition, the base plate including a beveled edge that is adapted to sealingly engage within the neck in the resealed condition; such that initial removal of the over cap and plug from the spout operates to rupture the foil; and such that subsequent replacement of the over cap and plug on the spout operates to cause the beveled edge of the base plate to engage and seal the neck.
