Closure system for displaying custom imprinted liners

1. A closure system comprising:

an opaque outer cover having an open top, an open bottom and a circumferential sidewall extending down from the open top to the open bottom, the circumferential sidewall of the opaque outer cover including a protruding middle section extending radially around an interior surface of the sidewall;

a transparent inner cap including a top wall, an open bottom, a circumferential sidewall extending down from the top wall to the open bottom, and a closure engaging mechanism disposed on an interior surface of the sidewall configured to contact and interact with a corresponding container engaging mechanism for removably applying the closure system to a container, the circumferential sidewall of the transparent inner cap including a recessed middle section extending radially around an exterior surface of the sidewall, the transparent inner cap dimensioned and configured to be inserted into the opaque outer cover such that the protruding middle section of the outer cover is inserted into the recessed middle section of the inner cap for affixing the opaque outer cover to the transparent inner cap such that the opaque outer cover is unable to be axially rotated without a corresponding rotation of the transparent inner cap to form an assembled two-piece closure wherein the sidewall of the opaque outer cover substantially covers the sidewall of the transparent inner cap; and

a disc-shaped liner operable to be inserted into a cavity formed between the top wall and the circumferential sidewall of the transparent inner cap such that the liner is visible through the open top of the opaque outer cover and the top wall of the transparent inner cap of the assembled two-piece closure,

wherein the exterior surface of the sidewall of the transparent inner cap includes an angled surface adjacent the open bottom that is angled inwardly toward the open bottom of the transparent inner cap to facilitate traversal of the exterior surface of the sidewall of the transparent inner cap along the sidewall of the interior surface of the opaque outer cover when the transparent inner cap is pushed through the open top of the opaque outer cover during assembly of the assembled two-piece closure.

2. The closure system of claim 1 wherein the protruding middle section includes an angled surface and the recessed middle section includes a corresponding angled surface to facilitate assembly of the two-piece closure.

3. The closure system of claim 1 wherein the transparent inner cap includes a plurality of vertical ribs disposed in the recessed middle section and a plurality of vertical ribs disposed in the protruding middle section configured to engage the plurality of vertical ribs of the transparent inner cap during assembly of the assembled two-piece closure to assist in preventing the opaque outer cover from being axially rotated without a corresponding rotation of the transparent inner cap.

4. A closure system comprising:

an opaque outer cover having an open top, an open bottom and a circumferential sidewall extending down from the open top to the open bottom; and

a transparent inner cap including a top wall, an open bottom, a circumferential sidewall extending down from the top wall to the open bottom, and a closure engaging mechanism disposed on an interior surface of the sidewall configured to contact and interact with a corresponding container engaging mechanism for removably applying the closure system to a container, the transparent inner cap dimensioned and configured to be inserted into the opaque outer cover for affixing the opaque outer cover to the transparent inner cap such that the opaque outer cover is unable to be axially rotated without a corresponding rotation of the transparent inner cap to form an assembled two-piece closure wherein the sidewall of the opaque outer cover substantially covers the sidewall of the transparent inner cap, and

wherein each of an interior surface of the sidewall of the opaque outer cover and an exterior surface of the sidewall of the transparent inner cap include one of a protruding middle section and a corresponding recessed middle section extending radially around their respective sidewall, the protruding middle section operable to engage the recessed middle section for affixing the opaque outer cover to the transparent inner cap to form the assembled two-piece closure,

wherein the closure system further includes a disc-shaped liner operable to be inserted into a cavity formed between the top wall and the circumferential sidewall of the transparent inner cap such that the liner is visible through the open top of the opaque outer cover and the top wall of the transparent inner cap of the assembled two-piece closure, and

wherein the exterior surface of the sidewall of the transparent inner cap includes an angled surface adjacent the open bottom that is angled inwardly toward the open bottom of the transparent inner cap to facilitate traversal of the exterior surface of the sidewall of the transparent inner cap along the sidewall of the interior surface of the opaque outer cover when the transparent inner cap is pushed through the open top of the opaque outer cover during assembly of the assembled two-piece closure.

5. The closure system of claim 4 wherein the protruding middle section includes an angled surface and the recessed middle section includes a corresponding angled surface to facilitate assembly of the two-piece closure.

6. The closure system of claim 4 wherein the transparent inner cap includes a plurality of vertical ribs disposed along the protruding middle section and the opaque outer cover includes a plurality of vertical ribs disposed in the recessed middle section configured to engage the plurality of vertical ribs of the transparent inner cap during assembly of the assembled two-piece closure to assist in preventing the opaque outer cover from being axially rotated without a corresponding rotation of the transparent inner cap.
