Patent ID: 7703626

Claim:
A composite closure for a container, comprising: (a) a lower, inner ring section made of a resilient material, having inner and outer walls and upper and lower peripheral margins and a first integral annular flange projecting radially inwardly from the inner wall of said lower ring section; (b) an upper, outer ring section made of a resilient material, having inner and outer walls and upper and lower peripheral margins and adapted to releasably snap fit over said lower ring section, said upper ring section having a second integral annular flange projecting radially inwardly from the inner wall of said upper ring section in close parallel proximity to said first annular flange, wherein the inner wall of said upper ring section presents wall projections adapted to mate with detents in the outer wall of the lower ring section for a snap lock fit when the upper ring section is pressed onto the lower ring section, but which are readily disengaged from said detents by manually drawing the lower periphery of the upper ring section outwardly away from the outer wall of the lower ring section; and (c) a cover panel formed from generally flexible sheet material, peripherally held and compressed between said first and second annular flanges by means of the snap fitting of the upper ring section onto the lower ring section.
