ABSTRACT:
A crimp top seal which can be applied to a variety of different containers. Circumferentially displaced points or lines of contact between the crimp top seal and the container at axially displaced positions provide self-alignment and secure retention of the crimp top seal on the container. The resilient crimp top seal includes a top member, a skirt extending down from the perimeter of the top member, angular locking ribs, and a crimp ring--all of which engage the neck finish on the container. A plurality of reinforcing members are also provided on the inner surface of the skirt. The inner diameter of the skirt of the crimp top seal, the angle of the locking ribs, and the crimp ring provides the multiple, axially displaced lines of contact and allow the crimp top seal to engage a variety of containers.
