Abstract:
A closure to be attached to a container, comprising:a spout section through which contents of the container pass;a closure main body connected to the spout section with a thin-thickness connecting section interposed therebetween, the closure main body having a projection to be fitted into the spout section such that it tightly contacts an inner peripheral surface portion of the spout section, and a sealing wall for preventing leakage of the contents;a pinch section formed as a part of the closure main body; andsaid closure main body having a generally hollow, annular connection section provided by a peripheral wall located between the pinch section and thin-thickness section, circumferentially opposed portions of the peripheral wall being removed to form cutouts defining coupling sections above the thin-thickness section, said coupling sections cooperating with the pinch section to facilitate ripping of the thin-thickness section to separate the closure main body from the spout section.
