Abstract:
An anti-polishing ring includes a ring body defining an axis of revolution, and a radial direction that is perpendicular to the axis of revolution, and a circumferential direction about the axis of revolution. The ring body includes an outer circumferential surface, a bottom surface, a top surface, and an inner circumferential surface. The inner circumferential surface defines an inner diameter, the ring body defines a radial thickness measured from the inner circumferential surface to the outer circumferential surface, and a ratio of the radial thickness to the inner diameter ranges from 0.015 to 0.020.
