Stackable molded cap

US-10071835-B1

Abstract

An injection molded plastic closure, stackable with similar closures in a known manner to prevent warping during cooling and to increase box storage capacity, is formed with a lead-in taper at the bottom of the closure skirt, maintaining and enhancing the stacking function while greatly reducing and nearly eliminating problems of cross-threading when the closure is screwed onto a container by machinery during a capping operation.
