1 parts›FIG. 1 is a front isometric view showing…
FIG. 1 is a front isometric view showing our new design of a closure;
FIG. 2 is a top plan view thereof;
FIG. 3 is a front elevational view thereof;
FIG. 4 is a rear elevational view thereof;
FIG. 5 is a left side elevational view thereof; and,
FIG. 6 is a right side elevational view thereof.
The broken line showing of a hinge is for illustrative purposes only and forms no part of the claimed design.
The closure has an opaque base.
The closure lid consists of an opaque, peripheral portion and a translucent, central disk in the top of the closure lid.
The opaque peripheral portion of the closure lid and the opaque closure base may be of any color and texture, and the translucent, central disk in the top of the lid may be of any color (including translucent white or translucent clear).
A recessed annulus of opaque material extends radially inwardly from the opaque peripheral portion of the closure lid under an overlying, radially outer translucent annular region of the translucent central disk of the closure lid, and said recessed annulus of opaque material is partially visible when viewed from the exterior of the closure through said overlying, radially outer translucent annular region of the translucent central disk of the closure lid, and such partial visibility is depicted with a contrast in shading by light stippling to represent a contrast appearance so that the aesthetic appearance is enhanced. A darker contrast in shading by more dense stippling represents the exposed exterior surface of the closure lid opaque peripheral portion radially outwardly of the translucent central disk, and represents the surface of the opaque closure base.
