Abstract

One aspect provides a closure (716) for use with an article (1) having an outlet (14), the closure comprising a closure part (716a) for closing the outlet, a connector part (716b) for connecting the closure to the article, and a hinge (719) between the closure and connector parts to enable the closure part to be hinged relative to the connector part, wherein the closure is configured and arranged so that hinging of the closure part relative to the connector part in an opening direction (O) is to a limit whereupon the closure part couples to the connector part so that the closure and connector parts thereafter have to move in unison in the opening direction.
