Abstract
A polypropylene closure for glass containers. The enclosure has a top end wall and a depending annular skirt wall. A substantially rigid V-shaped sealing fin of triangular cross-section projects downwardly from the top end wall to engage the finish of a glass container neck in sealing relation when the closure is applied to the container. The closure is threaded onto the container neck and the sealing fin comes into contact with the finish. The application of additional closure torque causes the sealing fin to deform and be crushed.
