ABSTRACT:
A package comprising a container and a molded plastic closure. The container neck has external threads formed thereon and an external frustoconical sealing surface formed above said threads and extending upwardly and radially inwardly. The closure comprises a panel and an integral depending annular skirt, the skirt having integral internal threads formed thereon complementary to the threads on the neck of the container. An integral annular side sealing rib extends radially inwardly from the inner surface of the skirt and engages the external frustoconical sealing surface of the container in an interference fit such that when the closure is threaded on the container, the rib is compressed into sealing relation with the external frustoconical sealing surface. The panel portion of the closure includes a portion adapted to engage the end of the neck of the container to form a top seal. The closure includes a flexible annular wall integrally connecting the periphery of the panel and the sealing rib.
