Patent ID: 7802690

Claim:
A closure comprising: a top having an outside circumference defining a peripheral edge, said top further having an upper top surface and a lower top surface; a skirt depending from said lower top surface defining in part a first circumferential exterior surface, said skirt having an outer skirt surface and an inner skirt surface, said outer skirt surface positioned inwardly of said peripheral edge, the spacing between an intersection of said outer skirt surface with said lower top surface and said peripheral edge defining an annular portion of said lower top surface; a plurality of vertical segregated ribs depending downwardly from said annular portion of said lower top surface, said ribs having outside edges extending from points proximal said peripheral edge to inner edges, the inner edges extending upwardly therefrom and to the lower top surface of the top to thereby define exposed exterior surfaces of each rib on opposite sides thereof radially extending between said outside edges and inner edges, said outside edges forming a second circumferential external surface of said closure which is not contiguous and said inner edges being further defined as separated from and non-connecting to said outer skirt surface; and a tamper evidencing band connected to said skirt through a frangible line of weakness.
