Closure

Description

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 entire closure base is translucent, and interior threads on the closure base are partially visible through the translucent closure base as indicated by lighter lines representing such threads so that the aesthetic appearance is enhanced.

A peripheral portion of the closure lid is translucent.

The translucent peripheral portion of the closure lid and the translucent closure base have the same color (including translucent white or translucent clear).

A central disk in the top of the closure lid is opaque and is depicted with a contrast in surface shading relative to the translucent peripheral portion of the closure lid and relative to the translucent closure base, and such depiction represents a contrast in appearance via material, texture, or color (including white) so that the aesthetic appearance is enhanced.
