FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a container neck showing our new design, with a container body and a container neck finish being shown in broken lines for environment only and forming set part of the claim.

FIG. 2 is a front elevational view of the container neck in FIG. 1 , the rear elevational view and the side elevational views being identical to FIG. 2 .

FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken along the line 3 - 3 in FIG. 2 ; and,

FIG. 4 is a sectional view taken along the line 4 - 4 in FIG. 3 .

The dashed-dot-dashed lines define the boundary lines of the claimed design. The broken lines shown in the figures are included for the purpose of illustrating environmental elements only and form no part of the claimed design.
