Cap closure

A ring for a cap including an upper portion and a lower portion defining a ring-positioning member comprising:

• an outer member configured to selectively engage the cap;
• an inner member disposed radially inwardly of said outer member with the outer and inner members being configured to receive the ring-positioning member with the ring-positioning member being positioned inwardly of said outer member and outwardly of said inner member, so as to be located between said outer and inner members, said inner member having at least one tab extending inwardly and upwardly and terminating at a first edge;
• and
• at least one finger member protruding inwardly from said inner member and terminating at a second edge above said first edge of said tab.

A method of separating a cap with a ring from a container, the cap being in selective contact with a container neck of the container, comprising the steps of:

• providing an outer member of said ring in selective contact with the cap;
• securing an inner member of said ring to the container neck, said inner member having at least one tab and at least one finger member, said tab extending inwardly and upwardly and terminating at a first edge, said finger member protruding inwardly from said inner member and terminating at a second edge above said first edge of said tab;
• connecting said outer member and said inner member using a frangible connection, said frangible connection being disposed between said inner member and said outer member;
• and
• twisting the cap and breaking said frangible connection with a vertical motion of the cap so that said inner member is retained by the container neck and said outer member is removed from the container neck with the cap.

A cap for a container comprising:

• a cap body including an upper portion and a lower portion, said lower portion defining a ring-positioning member;
• and
• a ring including
• an outer member disposed proximate an outside surface of said lower portion selectively engaging said ring-positioning member,
• an inner member disposed proximate an inside surface of said lower portion with said ring-positioning member being positioned inwardly of said outer member and outwardly of said inner member, said inner member having a plurality of inwardly and upwardly extending projections, and
• a plurality of frangible connections being disposed between said outer member and said inner member.
