Abstract

A cap configured to be detachably attached to a mouth portion of a container body having a containment space for contents and close the mouth portion, includes: a transparent or semitransparent topped tubular outer lid portion; and a topped tubular inner lid portion located in close contact with an inner side of the outer lid portion so as to be relatively non-rotatable. A retaining protrusion having an inclined surface that is inclined inward in a downward direction and extends to a lower end of the outer lid portion is provided on an inner peripheral surface of the outer lid portion. The retaining protrusion engages with a retaining depression provided on an outer peripheral surface of the inner lid portion, to suppress separation between the outer lid portion and the inner lid portion.
