Abstract:
An apparatus for securing the lid of a container, comprising:A. an impact surface with a perimeter;B. at least two ring-like annuli each having an inner perimeter, an outer perimeter, and a bottom, positioned concentrically to said impact surface, at least one of the at least two annuli comprising an annulus with a smallest outer perimeter and being an uppermost annulus with respect to said impact surface, another of the at least two annuli comprising an annulus with a largest outer perimeter and being a lowermost annulus with respect to said impact surface;C. the bottom of the at least two ring-like annuli that is closest in size to fit the lid is to be received by the container lid;D. an upper annular wall extending downwardly from the perimeter of the impact surface and merging with said uppermost annulus at the inner perimeter of said uppermost annulus;E. each at least two annuli being joined to the adjacent at least two annuli by an intermediate wall, said intermediate wall extending downwardly from the outer perimeter of the uppermost annulus and merging with a lower adjacent annulus at the inner perimeter of said lower adjacent annulus; andF. a peripherally positioned annular flange extending downwardly from the perimeter of the lowermost annulus.
