Abstract

Abstract Adhesive Container An adhesive dispenser 1 comprising a container 2 and an associated cap 3, the container 2 and cap 3 having a complementary lug 8 and recess 7 combination which snap fits to hold the cap 3 on the container 2, the cap 3 or container 2 being resiliently deformable under manual pressure to disengage the combination, thereby permitting removal of the cap 3 from the container 2.
When the cap 3 is pushed onto the container 2 locating slots 9, on the container 2, each associated with a single recess 7 act to guide each lug 8 into its corresponding recess 7. The container has a nozzle 4 with a sealed frangible tip 5. In one embodiment of the dispenser the frangible tip 5 may conveniently be snapped off by inserting the tip 5 into a recess (not shown) provided within the cap 3 and then twisting the cap 3 relative to the container 2. The invention provides a useful adhesive dispenser 1 resistant to opening by children.

Description

i2a~8911 .

ADHESIVE CONTAINER

This invention relates to an adhesive dispenser, and in particular to a dispenser designed to resist opening by children.

Certain adhesives, particularly cyanoacrylate adhesives, are potentially dangerous materials and it would clearly be desirable to keep them in dispensers which are constructed so as to be difficult or impossible for children to open.

Such a dispenser has now been designed which utilizes a snap fit arrangement between a container and it~ cap.

According to the present invention, there is provided an adhesive dispenser comprising a container and an associated cap, the container and cap having a complementary lug and recess combination which 6nap fits to hold the cap on the container;
the cap having two parallel walls connected by two shorteI walls;
the cap being resiliently deformable under manual pressure to disengage the combination by compressing manuaIly the two shorteI walls towards each other, thereby permitting removal of the cap from the container.

'3~
.~3 iZ489~1 The cap may have a lug located about half way along one of the parallel walls, which engages a corresponding recess in the container.

Preferably, each parallel wall has a lug engaging a corresponding recess in the container.

The lugs are preferably formed on the inside of the cap, and engage recesses formed on the outside of the container.

The cap and container may have similar cross sectional shapes 80 that the closed dispenser presents a neat exterior appearance.

In a preferred form of the present invention the container is provided with a locating slot corresponding to each recess, each~locating slot being separated from the corresponding recess by a wall, so that on pushing the cap onto the container a lug is guided into a corresponding ~lot, rides over the wall and is thereby guided into the corresponding reces6.

A particularly suitable locating slot i8 one which is tapered, tapering towards the wall 6eparating the slot from the recess .

In a further aspect of the present invention the container is provided with a nozzle outlet having a sealed, frangible tip.

12~8911 Ul 03 Advantageously, the cap may be provided with a 04 means for snapping off the frangible tip from the ~5 nozzle.

07 One preferred means for snapping off the frangible 08 tip is that wherein the cap is provided with at least 09 one enclosed recess into which the tip may be inserted and on relative rotation between the cap and the 11 container, the tip bears against opposing sides of the 12 recess and is snapped off by the resulting shearing 13 force.

The dispenser is preferably made of plastics 16 material which does not react with the adhesive.

18 Two embodiments of the invention are now described 19 by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:

22 Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view of an 23 adhesive dispenser showing the cap in position on the 24 container;
26 Figure 2 is a front elevation of the container 27 shown in Figure l;

29 Figure 3 is a side elevation, partly in section, of the container of Figure 2;

32 Figure 4 is a plan view of the dispenser of 33 Figure l;

Figure 5 is a vertical sectional view of an 36 alternative construction of adhesive dispenser;
37 and, i248911 02 Figure 6 is a plan view of the dispenser of 03 Figure 5.

05 Referr;ng to ~;gures 1, 4 and 6 of the drawings, 06 an adhesive dispenser 1 comprises a generally oval 07 cross- sectional shaped adhesive container 2 for 08 cyanoacrylate adhesive, and a similarly cross-sectional 09 shaped cap 3. As is more clearly shown in Figures 2 and 3, the container 2 has a sealed nozzle 4 11 terminating in a tip 5 which is removable by pinching 12 or cutting off at a wall portion 6 of reduced 13 thickness.

A recess 7 is formed in each side of the body of 16 the container 2, just beneath the nozzle 4, and each 17 recess 7 can accomodate a lug 8 formed on the inside 18 wall of the cap 3. The bottom end of the nozzle 4 19 leads into a downwardly tapered slot 9 terminating at a wall 10 which separates the slot 9 from the recess 7.
21 The bottom of the recess 7 is bounded by a ledge 11 22 which encircles the container 2 and provides an 23 abutting support for the cap 3, as is shown in Figure 24 1.
26 The top of the cap 3 is formed with a hollow 27 conical projection 12 which fits over the nozzle 4 and 28 seals the nozzle outlet when the cap 3 rests on the 29 ledge 11.
31 The walls of the cap 3 are resilient so that when 32 the cap 3 is pushed down onto the container 2 the lugs 33 8 are guided into the slots 9, ride up the walls 10, 34 and snap into position into the recesses 7. To assist this action, the lugs 8 are chamfered to provide 36 camming surfaces 13 which bear against the walls 10 37 during movement.

01 - 5 ~

03 As is shown in Figures 4 and 6 the cap 3 has two 04 parallel side walls 14 connected by two shorter curved 05 end walls 15. The thickness of each side wall 14 is 06 such that it is equal to the amount by which the ledge 07 11 extends beyond the face of the wall 10, so as to 08 provide the dispenser 1 with a smooth exterior when the 09 cap 3 is placed on the container 2. This thickness dimension is less than the width of the ledge 11 in the 11 region of the shorter curved end walls 15, as can be 12 seen by comparing Figures 2, 3 and 4.

14 Accordingly, in order to remove the cap 3 from the container 2, the end walls 15 are slightly compressed 16 towards each other, between finger and thumb, and the 17 degree of inward movement of walls 15 along the ledge 18 11 is sufficient to force the side walls 14 outwardly 19 and to disengage the lugs 8 from the recesses 7. The cap 3 can then be lifted off the container 2.

22 The above operation is very difficult for children 23 to perform, but does not present any great problem for 24 adults.
26 Referring to Figures 5 and 6, the sealed nozzle 4 27 terminates in a tip 5 of elliptical cross section, the 28 minor axis of the ellipse being smaller than the 29 internal diameter of the conical projection 12 so as to provide a gap 20 between the projection 12 and the tip 31 5.

33 The cap 3 is formed with four web portions 21, 34 connecting the projection 12 to the end walls 15, so as to provide a pair of enclosed recesses 22 between the 36 projection 12 and walls 15. By mean of this 37 construction, the cap 3 may be removed from the 38 container 2, inverted and placed over the nozzle 4 so lZ~89i~

02 that the tip 5 is positioned within a recess 22. Then, 03 by twisting the cap 3 the tip 5 will bear on the web 04 portions 21 and the resultant shearing force will snap 05 the tip 5 off the nozzle 4 so that the dispenser is 06 ready for use.

08 It will, of course, be appreciated that more lug~
09 and recesses can be provided if desired, or that the lugs can be on the container and the recesses on the 11 cap, without departing from the scope of the invention.
