A closure arrangement for stoppering bottles with pressurized, carbonated, water-based liquid contents which comprises in combination; a bottle having a body portion, an elongated neck portion with two annular flanges thereon, and a mouth portion; and a one-piece elastomeric plastic molded corking means having an elongated cylindrical stopper insertable into the mouth of the bottle, a head connected to the stopper, an annular, circumferential ring positioned below the head, concentric with the stopper and capable of being received between the two annular flanges, a flexible, elongated folded tether connecting the ring to the head, and a plurality of short frangible bridges connecting the ring to the head, said bridges breaking when the ring is forced between the two flanges. The elongated tether provides a means for preventing injury when the cork is removed from the bottle.

A bottle for use with a tethered, headed cork having a flexible, elongated, folded tether connected adjacent one end to the head of the cork, said tether lying substantially within the confines of the periphery of the head of the cork, an elastomeric ring including means for connection to the tether

A bottle for use with a tethered, headed cork having a flexible, elongated, folded tether connected adjacent one end to the head of the cork, said tether lying substantially within the confines of the periphery of the head of the cork, an elastomeric ring including means for connection to the tether adjacent its other end, said bottle adapted to contain pressurized, carbonated, water-based liquid contents, said bottle having a neck with a finish which includes a pair of annular flanges closely spaced together near the mouth of the bottle, the outer diameter of the flange closest to the mouth, being slightly larger than the inner diameter of the ring so that the ring can be pushed down over this flange expanding as it does so and constricting after it passes such flange and being able to be pushed manually over the next flange, the second flange having a diameter which is large enough to check downward movement of the ring, but small enough to permit the ring to be pushed manually over it.
