The lower sealing ring part 277 serves to closely adhere the internal screw member 150 to the external screw member 270, which increases the sealing effect of the plastic container 10. Hereinafter, the process in which the above-mentioned detachable shutting device 200 is attached to the plastic container 10 will be described. The internal screw member 150, e.g., a tightening nut, is placed at the bottom of the first thread 271 of the external screw member 270. To place the shutting device 200 close to the plastic container 10, the tightening nut 150 is rotated to the top part of the first thread 271. Because the diameter of the lower part of the first thread 271 is larger than that of the upper part, the joining space 260 is larger in the upper part of the first thread 271. The first thread part 271 of the external screw member 270 is inserted into the cut outlet portion 13 of the plastic container 10. The cut outlet portion 13 of the plastic container 10 is clenched to be put close to the first thread 271, and then the upper part of the outlet portion 13 of the plastic container 10 is inserted into the joining space 260 between the first thread 271 of the external screw member 270 and the second thread 151 of the tightening nut 150. After that, the tightening nut 150 is screwed down. The cut outlet portion 13 of the plastic container 10 inserted into the joining space 260 between the external screw member 270 and the tightening nut 150 is closely adhered to the external screw member 270 by the tightening nut 150. Thereby, the detachable shutting device 200 is affixed within the plastic container 10. The method for using the plastic container 10 having the shutting device 200 is the same as in the first embodiment. When the user wants to throw away the plastic container 10 after all the contents of the container 10 are used, the user may unscrew the tightening nut 150 upwardly. Then, the the plastic container 10 is separated from the external screw member 270. The separated shutting device 200 can be also applied to another plastic container 10. Embodiment 3 Fig. 5 is a cross-sectional view for showing a detachable shutting device according to a third embodiment of the present invention which is attached to the plastic container. A detachable shutting device 300 shown in this embodiment is another modified example of the detachable shutting device 100 of the first embodiment. As shown in Fig. 5, the same reference numeral as in Figs. 2, 3A and 3B denotes the same constitutional element as in the detachable shutting device 100 of the first embodiment. The descriptions for the same constitutional elements will be abbreviated. As shown in Fig. 5, the detachable shutting device 300 shown in this embodiment is the same as the detachable shutting device 100 of the first embodiment except for a shape of an external screw member 370 with a first thread 371. That is, the external screw member 370 has the first thread 371 in which the lower part of the first thread 371 has the smaller diameter. Accordingly, the diameter of the second thread 151 inside the tightening nut 150 is set to correspond with that of the top part of the first thread 371. 10 Furthermore, the external screw member 370 preferably has an upper sealing ring part 375 integrally formed at the upper part of the first thread 371. The upper sealing ring part 375 serves to closely adhere the internal screw member 150 to the external screw member 370, which increases the sealing effect of the plastic container 10. Hereinafter, the process in which the above-mentioned detachable shutting device 300 is attached to the plastic container 10 will be described. The internal screw member 150, e.g., a tightening nut, is placed at the top of the first thread 371 of the external screw member 370. To place the shutting device 300 close to the plastic container 10, the lower part of the external screw member 370, i.e., the first thread 371, is inserted into the cut outlet portion 13 of the plastic container 10. The cut outlet portion 13 of the plastic container 10 is clenched to be put close to the first thread 371, and then the tightening nut 150 is screwed down to the bottom part of the first thread 371. Because the diameter of the lower part of the first thread 371 is smaller than that of the upper part, the joining space 360 is larger in the lower part of the first thread 371. Therefore, when the tightening nut 150 has been screwed down, the cut outlet portion 13 of the plastic container 10 is inserted with ease into the larger joining space 360 in the lower part of the first thread 371. Thus, when the upper part of the outlet portion 13 of the plastic container 10 has been inserted into the joining space 360 formed by the external screw member 370 and the tightening nut 150, the cut outlet portion 13 of the plastic container 10 is pulled up over the top part of the first thread 371. 11 After that, the tightening nut 150 is screwed upwardly. Because the diameter of the upper part of the first thread 371 is larger than that of the lower part, the cut outlet portion 13 of the plastic container 10 inserted into the joining space 360 between the external screw member 370, and the tightening nut 150 can be closely adhered to the upper part of the external screw member 370 by the tightening nut 150. Thereby, the detachable shutting device 300 is affixed within the plastic container 10. The method for using the plastic container 10 mounting the shutting device 300 is the same as in the first embodiment . When the user wants to throw away the plastic container 10 after all the contents of the container 10 are used, the user may screw the tightening nut 150 downwardly. Then, the the plastic container 10 is separated from the external screw member 370. The separated shutting device 300 can be also applied to another plastic container. Embodiment 4 Fig. 6 is a perspective view for showing a detachable shutting device for a plastic container according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention.
