Abstract
A dial cover for a rotary closure and methods of making said dial cover. The dial cover may comprise a body defining an outer convex surface and an inner concave surface defined interior to the outer convex surface, a sidewall portion and a topside portion; wherein the dial cover is configured to encapsulate a peripheral edge of a dial of a rotary closure.
Claims (22)
1. A dial cover for a rotary closure, the dial cover comprising: a body defining an outer convex surface and an inner concave surface defined interior to the outer convex surface, a sidewall portion and a topside portion; wherein the dial cover is configured to encapsulate a peripheral edge of a dial of a rotary closure.
2. The dial cover of claim 1 , further comprising an aperture defined through a center of the topside portion of the outer convex surface.
3. The dial cover of claim 2, wherein the sidewall portion of the dial cover assumes a shape of a peripheral edge of the dial such that the sidewall portion of the dial cover conforms to a plurality of recesses and ridges of the peripheral edge of the dial.
4. The dial cover of claim 1 , further comprising: an inner lip extending inward towards a center of the dial cover that extends underneath the peripheral edge of the dial when the dial cover is coupled with the dial.
5. The dial cover of claim 1 , wherein the body of the dial cover further comprises: at least one protrusion extending away from a center of the dial cover.
6. The dial cover of claim 5, wherein the at least one protrusion includes a concave edge and an opposite convex edge.
7. The dial cover of claim 1 , further comprising: a token configured for engagement by the dial cover.
8. The dial cover of claim 7, further comprising: a recessed portion circumferentially defined at a top of the inner concave surface, the recessed portion configured to engage the token and secure the token against a top surface of the dial.
9. The dial cover of claim 7, wherein the token is chemically bonded to the dial cover.
10. The dial cover of claim 7, wherein the token is coupled to the dial cover by a plurality of cover engagement points defined on a surface of the token.
11. The dial cover of claim 1 , wherein the dial cover comprises a flexible material having a suitable friction coefficient for gripping.
12. The dial cover of claim 1 , further comprising an inner lip defined along a bottom of the sidewall portion that extends inward towards a center of the dial cover.
13. The dial cover of claim 1 , wherein the dial cover comprises a rigid material having a suitable friction coefficient for gripping or otherwise being coated with a material having a suitable friction coefficient for gripping.
14. The dial cover of claim 1 , wherein the dial cover includes a plurality of tangs that couple with the dial in a snap fit engagement.
15. The dial cover of claim 1 , wherein the sidewall portion of the body is frictionally engaged to the peripheral edge of the dial.
16. The dial cover of claim 15, wherein the sidewall portion includes a plurality of friction-fit ribs that engage the peripheral edge of the dial.
17. A method, comprising: forming a dial cover, the dial cover including: a body defining an outer convex surface, an inner concave surface defined interior to the outer convex surface, and a sidewall portion.
18. The method of claim 17, further comprising: coupling the dial cover to a dial of a rotary closure such that the inner concave surface contacts the dial and the sidewall portion encapsulates a peripheral edge of the dial.
19. The method of claim 17, further comprising: forming one or more protrusions along the outer convex surface.
20. The method of claim 19, further comprising: forming a solid core comprising a rigid material for each protrusion of the one or more protrusions; and coating the solid core with a material having a suitable friction coefficient for gripping.
21. The method of claim 17, wherein the dial cover comprises at least one of: a flexible material having a suitable friction coefficient for gripping; and/or a rigid material, the rigid material having a suitable friction coefficient for gripping or otherwise being coated with a material having a suitable friction coefficient for gripping.
22. A rotary closure, comprising: a dial defining a peripheral edge and configured for rotation in a clockwise or counterclockwise rotational direction; and a dial cover that defines an outer convex surface, an inner concave surface defined interior to the outer convex surface, and a sidewall portion that encapsulates the dial against the inner concave surface, wherein the dial cover includes at least one of: a flexible material having a suitable friction coefficient for gripping; and/or a rigid material having a suitable friction coefficient for gripping or otherwise being coated with a material having a suitable friction coefficient for gripping.
