请教一个句子的翻译

this finish and skirt have interlocking elements that resist removal of the closure from the finish absent force against the spring element to disengage the interlocking elements.
对上面这个句子的结构和意思不是很理解。
特别是 absent force against 这句。高手赐教

我觉得这个句子语法有点问题。

不懂机械，不过估计语法没有问题
注意absent可以做介词：
absent
prep.
Without:
没有，缺乏：
Absent a legislative fix, this is an invitation for years of litigation?Brian E. O\'Neill)
“没有一个明确的法令，这是引起这些年讼争的原因”(布赖恩E.奥涅尔)

恩。谢谢，absent这里应该用作prep. 谢谢你的提醒
this finish and skirt have interlocking elements that resist removal of the closure from the finish absent force against the spring element to disengage the interlocking elements
所述finish(末端)和skirt(边缘/外围)具有联锁元件，所述联锁元件防止当缺少外力阻止所述弹力元件将其解开的情况下端盖从末端移除。
不知这样译合适不？

不懂机械，不过感觉你翻译得不对。估计是这样的意思：
this finish and skirt具有联锁元件，该联锁元件若没有外力作用于弹力元件来使它disengage，则能resist removal of the closure from the finish。
force against the spring ：想象自己用手压（against）弹簧，就是类似这个力。

“this finish and skirt have interlocking elements that resist removal of the closure from the finish absent force against the spring element to disengage the interlocking elements.”
此finish和skirt具有联锁元件，所述联锁元件在没有抵抗弹簧元件将联锁元件分离的力的情况下，防止closure从finish移开。
