Closure

Description

FIG. 1 is a front isometric view showing our new design for 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 bottom surface of the closure base is plain and unornamented. In use, the bottom surface of the closure base is mounted to the package or container, the bottom surface of the closure base is not visible to the user, and the bottom surface of the closure base forms no part of the ornamental design of the closed closure.

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 opaque, but the entire closure lid is translucent and is depicted with a contrast in shading by stippling relative to the closure base, and such depiction represents a contrast in appearance so that the aesthetic appearance is enhanced.

In FIGS. 1 and 2, the translucent closed lid is depicted with a slightly darker contrast in surface shading by more dense stippling in a peripheral region that overlies the opaque closure base which is partially visible when viewed from the exterior of the closed lid, and the inner edge portions of the opening in the opaque closure base are visible through the closed lid as represented by lighter oval lines.
