Abstract
Abstract A thermoplastic closure comprising a top wall and an internally threaded skirt and adapted to receive a resilient sealing disc in which an annular flexible protrusion depends from the inner side of the top wall adjacent the intersection of the top wall and skirt but spaced from the skirt. As the closure is applied to a container neck the protrusion acts to fold the periphery of the sealing disc over the outer edge of the container neck and onto the outer side surface and radius of the container neck to thereby effect a seal.
