Abstract

A valve closure for a container, having a body, a valve and a lid. The valve is positioned across the opening of the container and itself has an opening through which the contents of the container may be dispensed. The lid is moveable relative to the body between open and closed positions and is shaped to block the valve opening, when the lid is in its closed position. The lid has a projection, which forms a peripheral seal around the valve opening, when the lid is in its closed position, and within the periphery of the projection, the shape of the lid substantially conforms to the shape of the valve and / or body, to minimise the volume therebetween.

Claims (9)

1. A closure for a container, the closure having - a body - a valve, having an opening through which the contents of the container may be dispensed, and - a lid, moveable between open and closed positions relative to the body, and shaped to block the opening in the valve, when the lid is in its closed position, characterised in that - the lid has an annular projection and when the lid is in it's closed position, the projection forms an annular peripheral seal around the valve opening, and the shape of the lid within the periphery of the projection substantially conforms to the shape of the body and/or valve within the peripheral seal, such that when the lid is in its closed position it contacts the body and/or valve over substantially the whole of the area thereof within the peripheral seal to minimise the volume therebetween.
2. A closure according to claim 1, wherein the body has a sealing face and the projection on the lid engages with the sealing face of the body to form a peripheral seal around the valve opening.
3. A closure according to claim 2, wherein the projection and the sealing face of the body are adapted to form a bore seal therebetween.
4. A closure according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein the valve is formed integrally with the body.
5. A closure according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein the valve is a self-closing valve having a flange adapted to be constrained by the closure body, a valve head defining the valve opening and a connecting wall therebetween.
6. A closure according to claim 4, wherein the valve connecting wall has a substantially linear configuration to allow the shape of the lid within the projection to substantially conform to the shape of the body and/or valve within the peripheral seal.
7. A closure according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein the lid has a plug inside the periphery of the projection and the plug is shaped to substantially confirm to the shape of the body/valve within the peripheral seal.
8. A closure according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein the valve is independent from the body and retained therein by a clip.
9. A closure / container combination comprising - a container, - a valve, having an opening through which the contents of the container may be dispensed, and - a closure, moveable between open and closed positions relative to the container, and shaped to block the opening in the valve, when the closure is in its closed position, characterised in that when the closure is in it's closed position, - it has a projection which forms a peripheral seal around the valve opening, and - the shape of the closure within the periphery of the projection substantially conforms to the shape of the container and/or valve within the peripheral seal, to minimise the volume therebetween.
