ABSTRACT:
A multi-part screw cap construction for a container, comprising a thin-walled cup-like shell, an insert member having an annular side wall receivable in the shell, and a one-piece weight member constituted essentially as a single wire coil disposed completely within the shell at a location between its closed end and the end of the insert member, so as to provide a "weighted feel" to the cap. The coil is secured against looseness or vibration by suitable adhesive or cement, and the insert member can be pressed into the shell and adhered thereto by the adhesive while the latter is still tacky. The insert member is cup-like, and internally threaded for cooperation with the external threads on the neck of the container. The advantage is that an improved ornamental appearance can be imparted to the exterior surface of the shell, such as by metallizing or lacquering processes, while at the same time there can be employed relatively inexpensive components, such as economically molded plastic parts, drawn metal shells, and simple wire stock, for economy.
