Abstract

The present invention relates to a relockable closure (1) for a container, in particular for metal containers for storage of e.g. chemicals/solvents. The relockable closure comprises a non-plastic cover (e.g. a metal cover) (3) covering the opening of the container and a non-metallic skirt (e.g. a plastic skirt) (4) a part of which is foldable between a locking position and a unlocking position. When the foldable part of the skirt is in the locking position, locking means (8) of the skirt engage a curl portion or a projection the container.

Claims

AMENDED CLAIMS
[received by the International Bureau on 13 August 2003 (13.08.03), original claims 1-32 replaced by amended claims 1-34 (4 pages)]
1 A relockable closure for a container having a sidewall terminating in a peripherally extending curl portion encircling an opening to be closed, the closure comprising;
a non-plastic cover covering at least said opening, at least one non-metallic skirt attached to at least a part of a peripheral edge portion of the cover, the skirt extending along said sidewalf of said container and having locking means to be engaged with at least a part of said curl portion of the container, so as to lock the closure to the container, and
wherein the skirt comprises a first part attached to the cover and a second part being foldable between a locking position where said locking means engages said curl portion and an unlocking position where said locking means is out of engagement with said curl portic n
2 A relockable closure for a container having a sidewall with one or more peripherally outwardly extending projections and terminating in a peripherally extending curl portion encircling an opening to be closed, the closure comprising,
a non-plastic cover covering at least said opening, at least one non-metallic skirt attached to at least a part of a peripheral edge portion of the cover, the skirt extending along said sidewall of said container and having locking means to be engaged with at least a part of said curl portion of the container and/or said one or more projections, so as to lock the closure to the containei , and
wherein the skirt comprises a first part attached to the cover and a second part being foldable between a locking position where said locking means engages said curl portion and/or projections and an unlocking position where said locking means is out of engagement with said curl portion and/or projections.
3 A losure according to claim 1 or 2, wherein the second part is adapted to be retained in the unlocking position and/or the locking position 15
4 A closure according to any of claims 1-3, wherein the second part in some positions is adapted to be biased towards the unlocking position.
5 5. A closure according to any claims 1-4, wherein the skirt extends along an outer surface of the curl portion.
6 A closure according to any of claims 1-5, wherein the cover comprises a wall portion engageable with an internal surface of the container defined by its sidewall, said wall
10 portion and skirt defining a cavity for said curl portion of the container.
7 A closure according to any of the preceding claims, wherein the locking means comprises a peripherally extending rib engageable with a part of said curl portion and/or proiections, so as to define an engaging surface
15
8. A closure according to any of the preceding claims, wherein said curl portion defines contact surfaces for said cover and locking means.
9 A closure according to any of the preceding claims, wherein a compound is placed 20 between the cover and said curl portion so as to provide a tight closure.
10 A closure according to any of claims 6-9, wherein a compound is placed between the sidewall of the container and said wall portion of the cover so as to provide a tight closure.
25 11 A closure according to any of the preceding claims, wherein a compound is placed between the skirt and the sidewall of the container so as to provide a tight closure.
12 A closure according to any of claims 9-11, wherein the compound is attached to said cover or skirt 30
