A CLOSURE FOR A CONTAINER COMPRISING THREE POSITIONS

The present invention relates to a closure for a container, the closure comprising three positions. The invention further relates to a kit of parts for assembling such a closure. The present invention relates to a closure comprising an engine 110 and a shroud 109, the closure adapted to attach to the opening of a container to define an interior and an outside; wherein the shroud and engine are adapted to engage; wherein the closure can take a first position, a second position and a third position, wherein: • a. the shroud moves relative to the engine in a linear fashion and a different minimum force is required to move the closure from the first position to the second position than to move the closure from the second position to the first position; or • b. the shroud moves relative to the engine in a linear fashion and a different minimum force is required to move the closure from the second position to the third position than to move the closure from the third position to the second position; or • c. both a. and b.; or • d. the shroud moves relative to the engine in a rotational fashion and a different minimum torque is required to move the closure from the first position to the second position than to move the closure from the second position to the first position; or • e. the shroud moves relative to the engine in a rotational fashion and a different minimum torque is required to move the closure from the second position to the third position than to move the closure from the third position to the second position; or • f. both d. and e.
