Abstract

The invention relates to a container made of glass or hard plastic having a container neck (52) with a plurality of external thread elements (53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58), which are offset circumferentially relative to one another, as thread segments. The container can be closed by means of the thread segments by a closure cap made of metal sheet, wherein the closure cap (1, 2) has a circumferential plastic layer (30;30h,30v) on the inside of the cap and on the rim of the cap which has a sealing and retaining action. The closure cap can be pressed onto the container neck (52) and over the thread elements (53, 54, 55, . . . ) during closure and a vertical portion (30v) of the plastic layer can be opened with a rotary movement relative to the thread segments (53, 54, 55, . . . ). The container neck (52) has an upper horizontal end face (52a) as an annular surface which is adapted and suitable to be pressed into a horizontal portion (30 h) of the plastic layer (30;30h,30v) of the closure cap (1.2) under pressure and to produce a seal under pressure. An axial spacing (h54) is defined which extends between axially upper ends (53a, 54a, 55a, 56a, 57a) of the thread segments (53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58) and a horizontal plane (E52a) through the horizontally oriented end face (52a) of the container neck (52) of the glass container (50). An annular width (b52) of the upper horizontal end face (52a) is defined as an annular surface. A ratio of the axial spacing (h54) to the annular width (b52) is less than 1.35.
