A closure for a container includes a base and a peripheral wall, which may have a rim forming an upper margin of the peripheral wall and surrounding the opening of the container. The rim may have an external protrusion formed integrally with and surrounding the rim. The closure may have an overlying closure portion overlying the opening of the container when the closure is mounted on the container and a skirt formed integrally with the overlying closure portion to surround the rim when the closure is mounted to the container. The skirt includes a first portion adjacent to and surrounding an external upper end of the rim and a second portion connected to the first portion via a connection. The second portion may extend downwardly from the first portion to surround the rim below its upper end when the closure is mounted on the container.

1. A closure for a container that comprises a base, a peripheral wall, and a rim, the rim forming an upper margin of the wall and surrounding an opening of the container, wherein a load bearing continuous wall formation is provided within the container adjacent to the rim, the closure comprising: an overlying portion configured to extend across and to overlie the opening of the container when the closure is mounted to the container;an inverted peripheral channel section having an inside wall, with the overlying portion being connected to the inside wall at a junction and extending inwardly from the inside wall of the inverted peripheral channel section, and the channel section being configured to mount on the container rim when the closure is mounted to the container; anda load bearing skirt including a single distal end and a single near end, the skirt continuously projecting to the distal end that is located remotely from the inside wall, the skirt continuously projecting from the near end located on an underside of the overlying portion at or adjacent to the junction of the overlying portion with the inside wall of the peripheral channel section such that, when the closure is mounted to the container, the distal end of the skirt is able to mount on the continuous wall formation to form a space between the rim and a remainder of the skirt, the space being above the distal end of the skirt that is mounted on the continuous wall formation,wherein the skirt contacts the continuous wall formation when the overlying portion is under load, so that a mass on the overlying portion is received by the skirt and transferred therefrom to the continuous wall formation to prevent inward collapse of the overlying portion under load. 2. The closure as claimed in claim 1, wherein the load bearing continuous wall formation of the container comprises an internal peripheral step defined therein, the load bearing skirt projects from the overlying portion at the junction with the inside wall of the channel section, and the distal end of the load bearing skirt is configured to mount on the internal peripheral step when the closure is mounted to the container. 3. The closure as claimed in claim 1, wherein the inverted peripheral channel section has, in cross-sectional profile, an inverted U-shape, whereby the overlying portion extends laterally from the inside wall which defines an inside stem of the U-shape, and whereby the rim is received within the U-shape so as to be surrounded at its periphery by an outside stem of the U-shape. 4. The closure as claimed in claim 2, wherein the inverted peripheral channel section generally has, in cross-sectional profile, an inverted U-shape, whereby the overlying portion extends laterally from the inside wall which defines an inside stem of the U-shape, and whereby the rim is received within the U-shape so as to be surrounded at its periphery by an outside stem of the U-shape. 5. The closure as claimed in claim 3, wherein a shorter peripheral skirt projects from an inside face of the inverted U-shape around the periphery of the closure underside, the shorter skirt being configured to engage an inside surface of the rim when the closure is mounted to the container. 6. The closure as claimed in claim 4, wherein a shorter peripheral skirt projects from an inside face of the inverted U-shape around the periphery of the closure underside, the shorter skirt being configured to engage an inside surface of the rim when the closure is mounted to the container. 7. The closure as claimed in claim 5, wherein the outside stem of the U-shape extends to a skirt that is configured to provide an interlocking engagement with a formation defined externally on the rim when the closure is mounted to the container. 8. The closure as claimed in claim 6 wherein the outside stem of the U-shape extends to a third skirt that is configured to provide an interlocking engagement with an external protrusion formed in the rim when the closure is mounted to the container.
