Abstract
An orientation system for a closure having an orientation member that is longitudinally, axially, and circumferentially spaced from a fastener. The orientation member mates with a reciprocating channel on the neck of a container for proper orientation of a closure onto a container.
Claims16
An orientation system comprising a closure adapted for releasable connection to a container comprising:
- a first closure circumference;
- a second closure circumference axially spaced within said first closure circumference and longitudinally spaced from said first closure circumference;
- at least three lugs, wherein each of said at least three lugs comprises a circumferential width and are circumferentially spaced, wherein said at least three lugs comprise a first orientation member, a second orientation member, and a fastener, wherein said first orientation member and said second orientation member are positioned on the same closure circumference and have different circumferential widths, and wherein said fastener is positioned on a different closure circumference.
An orientation system comprising a closure adapted for releasable connection to a container comprising:
- a shroud having an inner surface, said inner surface having a lower cylindrical surface longitudinally spaced from an intermediate cylindrical surface,
- an annular shaped skirt axially spaced within said shroud and longitudinally spaced within said intermediate cylindrical surface;
- at least one orientation member protruding radially inwardly from said lower cylindrical surface of said inner surface;
- and
- a plurality of tabs for mating with bayonet provisions, said plurality of tabs circumferentially spaced from said at least one orientation member and protruding radially inwardly from said annular shaped skirt.

An orientation system comprising a closure adapted for releasable connection to a container comprising:
- a shroud having a inner surface, said inner surface having a lower cylindrical surface longitudinally spaced from an intermediate cylindrical surface;
- an annular shaped skirt concentrically disposed within said shroud and longitudinally spaced within said intermediate cylindrical surface;
- and
- a first orientation member and a second orientation member, wherein said first orientation member and said second orientation member comprise a circumferential width and protrude radially inwardly from said lower cylindrical surface, wherein said second orientation member has a circumferential width less than said first orientation member;
- and
- a plurality of tabs for mating with bayonet provisions, wherein said tabs are circumferentially spaced from said first orientation member and said second orientation member and protrude radially inwardly from said annular shaped skirt.
