Abstract

A package closure apparatus is disclosed which has a push-tab connected to a base (12) via a landing (32) which extends into a central opening (30) in said closure and a spring face (38) which extends from said push-tab to connect with the landing (32). The connection between the landing (32) and spring face (38) forms a first junction (40) about which the hinge acts. The connection between the spring face (38) and the push-tab forms a second junction (42) about which the hinge may act.
