Abstract
A container closure has a top panel wall, and an annular seal piece and an annular contact piece are integrally formed in an outer peripheral edge portion of an inner surface of the top panel wall. The annular seal piece is of such a shape as to be deflected radially outwardly upon contact with the cylindrical outer peripheral surface of the mouth-and-neck portion of a container. The annular contact piece is brought into contact with an annular boundary surface extending from an annular top surface to an annular outer peripheral surface of the mouth-and-neck portion of the container when viewed arcuately in a sectional view. An annular thin-walled region positioned radially inwardly of the annular seal piece and the annular contact piece are further formed in the outer peripheral edge portion of the inner surface of the top panel wall.
