         13 . The container closure according to  claim 1 , wherein the screw cap, the security ring, the first and second holding strips,and the break-off webs are produced as a single piece. 
     
     
         14 . A container, comprising:
 a container body;   a container neck adjoining the container body;   an outer thread formed on the container neck;   a support ring formed at the transition from the container neck to the container body;   a container closure for closing a pour opening within the container neck, the container closure, comprising: 
 a screw cap having a free edge, a first cylindrical casing, a cover disk and an inner thread that is formed on an inside of the casing and configured to interact with an outer thread of a container neck of the container; 
 a security ring configured to be held on a protrusion on the container neck; 
 a plurality of break-off webs that releasably connect the security ring to the free edge;
