Patent number: 10723519Abstract: A closure includes a polymeric top wall portion, a polymeric annular skirt portion, a polymeric continuous plug seal and a polymeric top seal. The annular skirt portion depends from the polymeric top wall portion. The annular skirt portion includes an internal thread formation for mating engagement with an external thread formation of a container. The polymeric annular skirt portion includes an interior surface and an exterior surface. The plug seal depends from the polymeric top wall portion. The continuous plug seal is spaced from the interior surface of the polymeric annular skirt portion. The top seal includes sealing gussets integrally connected thereto. The top seal and the sealing gussets depend from the polymeric top wall portion. The top seal and sealing gussets are located between and spaced from the plug seal and the annular skirt portion.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 2019Date of Patent: July 28, 2020Assignee: Closure Systems International Inc.Inventors: John C.

Patent number: 10336507Abstract: A plastic closure embodying the principles of the present invention comprises a closure cap having a top wall portion, and an annular skirt portion depending from the top wall portion. The skirt portion includes an internal thread formation for threaded engagement with the external thread formation of an associated container. In order to facilitate high-speed application, and minimize the use of polymeric material, the closure is configured to exhibit a variation in retention force which decreases in a direction away from the top wall portion of the closure cap.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2017Date of Patent: July 2, 2019Assignee: Closure Systems International Inc.Inventors: Sohail Sadiq, John C. Edie, David E. Gevers, William Moll, Navaneeth Bashyam, Pranav Bhatt, Russell L. Tartock
