Bottle Cap
A cap for sealing a container having a neck includes an annular outer skirt having an inner surface and an outer surface, a top portion of the outer skirt forming an annular rim. A generally concave top wall extends inwardly from and below a plane defined by the rim, the top wall having a top face and a bottom face. An annular inner skirt extends downward from the top wall bottom face and disposed radially inward from and concentric with the outer skirt, wherein the inner skirt is configured to sealingly engage with an inner surface of the container neck when the cap is attached thereto.

21 . A cap for a container comprising:
a top wall comprising a top face, a bottom face, and an annular rim;
an annular outer skirt attached to the bottom face of said top wall;
the top wall further comprising an annular inner skirt attached to the bottom face and adjacent to the outer skirt, to selectively engage a container;
the outer skirt further comprising an outer surface and an inner surface;
the inner surface further comprising a threaded pattern; and
the outer surface further comprising a pattern for enhancing grip.
