Summary: | A closure tear handle which prevents damage to the closure tear skirt under large application forces when the closure is applied to the bottle; this invention also provides a tear skirt which is easier for consumers to remove. A weak region is placed at the base of the intersection of the tear handle and the wall of the tear skirt. This weak region of the closure is designed such that upon contact with the neck finish of a bottle, which puts the tear skirt into tension, it attracts the tensile forces and relieves stress from the adjacent weak point of the closure tear skirt to prevent damage to this area that would be offensive to consumers and result in wasted product. |
