Preferably, container body of the present invention comprises one or more retaining parts, and collar remains on the container body by described one or more retaining parts, causes collar to take off or can take off from container body up to taking off lid.Advantageously, retaining part can be the rim of container body, is preferably radially outward outstanding rim.Collar preferably remains on the container body by rim or the following of other retaining part that is secured to container body.As additional or as alternative, described (each) retaining part can be the surface, is preferably the recess (for example depressed part or groove) that (for example in the rim of integral container, perhaps optionally is positioned at its lower edge) in the container body outside face.For example, container body can center on the neighboring of container body and be provided with one or more recesses.Collar preferably engages with described one or more retaining parts, so that in use collar is remained on the container body.
Therefore, a third aspect of the present invention provides a kind of drinking container, it comprises container body that comprises opening and the lid that is used to seal opening, described container body comprises a plurality of recesses that are arranged in the container body outside face, described lid can engage directly or indirectly with described a plurality of recesses, so that described lid is fixed on the container body.If container body has outstanding rim, so described a plurality of recesses for example can be arranged in this outstanding rim.Drinking container preferably includes at least one part, collar for example, and it can engage with recess, and lid can be fixed thereon, thereby lid is fixed on the container body indirectly.Recess is preferably spaced apart around the periphery of the outside face of the container body lower edge of the outstanding rim of container body (for example).
A fourth aspect of the present invention provides a kind of drinking container, it comprises the container body that comprises opening, the lid that is used to seal opening, and can be bonded on part on the container body, be preferably collar, described lid and collar comprise crew-served fixed mechanism, when collar is bonded on the container body, lid can be fixed on the collar by this fixed mechanism, thereby lid is fixed on the container body.Preferably, lid, collar (or other parts) and container body are configured such that lid causes with respect to the sport of collar and/or container body or allows collar to separate from container body.
Preferably, lid can cause or allow separating of collar and container body with respect to the motion of collar (or other parts) and/or container body, and this motion preferably includes rotatablely move (that for example outwards winding rotatablely move) of lid with respect to collar and/or container body.For example, lid can allow the continuous or follow-up motion of lid with respect to the initial motion of collar, thereby causes lid and collar all to move with respect to container body.Even more preferably, lid and collar cause with respect to this motion of container body or allow one or more parts of collar mobile with respect to container body outside (for example radially outwardly), thereby collar is separated with container body.In case collar separates with container body, preferably takes off collar from container body, perhaps can from container body, take off collar.Preferably, collar is to realize by for example above-mentioned one or more retaining parts (for example one or more recesses, projection or the rim of container body) with engaging of container body.
In a preferred embodiment of the invention, collar (or other parts) can engage with container body, and/or can be fixed on the container body, and irrelevant with lid.That is to say that engage and/or be fixed on container body on the container body in order to make collar, collar does not preferably need the effect of lid or the existence of lid.More preferably, collar (or other parts) has lax and/or static and/or default structure, and in this structure, its radial dimension can make or guarantee the engaging of collar and container body/or fixing.For example, one or more limbs of collar or other parts (or other parts of container) preferably have lax structure, in this structure, it provides the maximum outside diameter of the part (being preferably fixed part) (the preferably opening of close container body) of container main body to want little minimum diameter.Preferably be provided with a kind of, first group of limb can have lax structure, in this structure, it provides the maximum outside diameter of container part to want little minimum diameter, and second group of limb has lax structure, in this structure, it provides the minimum diameter bigger than the maximum outside diameter of described container part.
Lid is arranged so that at detent position can prevent that limb is radially outer mobile, and it can not be separated with recess (or other retaining part).Yet, preferably be provided with a kind of, when lid rotates to detent position with respect to collar, lid (screw thread that specifically refers to formation on it) is suitable for radially inwardly oppressing limb, thereby limb further is pressed in the recess (perhaps further form with retaining part and engage), thereby limb is positively remained there.Therefore, this camming action of the lid by radially inwardly promoting limb can be fixed on limb between container and the lid tightly.Lid preferably is arranged to inwardly to promote all limbs by this way, even promotes those for example above-mentioned intilted first group of limbs.Certainly, second group of outward-dipping limb also will need inwardly to promote by lid, so that second group of limb engaged with corresponding recess (or other retaining part).
When lid is outwarded winding, the limb or the other parts of the preferred outwards compressing of the effect of lid and/or the effect of container (for example making it crooked) collar, thereby collar can be taken off from container body, but this is not essential for second group of limb, because when these limbs are in the lax position of outwarding winding at it, can outwards move owing to the elasticity of himself.The limb of collar or other parts are preferably flexible, more preferably can elastic bending.
For lid wherein for the motion of collar allows those embodiment of the present invention that collar separates with container body, this is preferably because the cause of one or more features of lid, for example, lid can comprise one or more recesses, wherein can hold collar one or more parts (for example along with lid with respect to the initial motion of collar and move).This recess can allow collar part outwards to move (for example radially outer motion) with respect to container body, thereby and can allow separating of collar and container body.Advantageously, as explained the back in this specification sheets, the recess of this recess or lid can comprise the thread segment of lid.
For the motion of container body caused those embodiment of the present invention that collar separates with container body, this was preferably at least in part because the cause of the one or more features on the container body for lid wherein and collar.For example, one or more parts of collar can bridge (ride up) on one or more features of container body, and these features adopt the form of projection, inclined-plane, fin or the wall of being located at container body outside (for example being arranged on the container rim).Therefore, for example, if the retaining part on the container body comprises the outwards outstanding rim of container body, collar can bridge by one or more parts of collar on one or more inclined-planes and separate with container body, thereby causes collar to cross rim.As additional or as alternative, if recess is located on the outside face of container body or container rim, then collar can bridge by one or more parts of collar on wall that is positioned at the respective notches that engages with described part or inclined-plane and separate with container body, thereby cause described part to leave recess, thereby and cause collar to separate with recess in the container body.Like this, the shape of container outwards drives limb, when rotating with respect to container with convenient collar, described limb is separated with recess (or other retaining part) in the mode of cam.
In case the part of collar bridges and goes up and leave corresponding recess, just need to reduce the risk that described part engages again with the downside of recess or outstanding rim by accident.Therefore, collar partly bridge leave thereon recess surface extremely preferably have the shape of convergent shape, thereby make its diameter towards the open end of container and reduce.The described part of collar (or these parts certain some) at least preferably is arranged to adopt the diameter littler than the diameter on described surface, and it is had towards the direction of the smaller diameter end tendency on the above surface that bridges, and therefore promotes separating of collar and container.Therein among collar part and the embodiment that recess on the container body wall engages, the surface with tapered form is the outer wall adjacent to opening of container body preferably.Therein the collar partial engagement below outstanding rim or with embodiment that recess in the rim engages in, the outside face of the rim of described vessel port is preferably led on the surface with tapered form.
Advantageously, the present invention can comprise the aforementioned feature on the container body that for example works synergistically and the aforementioned feature of lid.Therefore, for example, the feature on the container body can cause the part of collar outwards to move, and the feature of lid can adapt to this outside motion of collar part.

The description of preferred embodiment
The view 1 (a) of Fig. 1 and 1 (b) have shown the show in schematic partial sections according to drinking container 1 of the present invention.Drinking container 1 comprises container body 3, lid 5 and collar 7.Schematically also showing collar 7 separately in the transparent view.
Shown in the cutaway view of Fig. 1 (a), when lid 5 with wide-mouth opening 9 sealing of container body 3 and when sealing, lid is fixed on the collar 7 on the container body 3 by being fixed on, collar 7 is installed on the container body itself.Specifically, collar 7 be clamped on the container body adjacent with wide-mouth opening 9 radially outward outstanding rim 11 below.Collar 7 comprises a plurality of limbs 13, and described a plurality of limbs 13 are arranged to be spaced apart from each other along the hoop length of collar, and are connected to each other together by the loop section 15 of collar.As shown in the figure, be positioned under the uppermost condition at the wide-mouth opening 9 of being arranged to make container body and use, the loop section 15 of collar is its nethermost part, and limb substantially perpendicularly therefrom extends out.In addition, the top of each limb partly comprises radially inwardly outstanding shoulder 17.The shoulder 17 of the limb 13 of collar engages with the rim 11 of container body, thereby collar is clamped on the container body.Lid 5 is fixed on the collar 7 by the fixed mechanism that lays respectively at interior engage threads on collar and the lid or other projection 19 and 21 forms.Screw thread 19 and 21 is screw thread preferably, still, the screw thread of other form, for example bayonet-style threads also is feasible.
For collar 7 is installed on the container body 3, when beginning most collar 7 is placed on around the rim 11.This is feasible, because the internal diameter of loop section 15 and limb 13 main portions is greater than the external diameter of rim 11.Then, collar 7 further is pressed into downwards on the container body 3, makes the limb 13 outwardly-bent rims of crossing, be clamped on afterwards rim below.This is feasible, because limb 13 just is connected with each other by loop section 15, thereby make the limb 13 can be outwardly-bent, and because limb is resilient, thereby cause limb on rim 11, to return to (or attempting at least to return to) its initial construction after crooked.In case it is when being connected collar 7 on the container body 3, just lid 5 can be fixed on the collar, thereby the wide-mouth opening 9 of container body is closed and seal.Various sealing mechanisms all are feasible.Shown a kind of possible sealing mechanism among Fig. 1, when lid was completely fixed on the collar 7, by sealing mechanism, part had just formed sealing contact at its wide-mouth opening 9 places in the flexible sealing flange 23 of lid and the top of container body 3.Yet, also can use other or alternative sealing mechanism.When lid is completely fixed on the collar 7, described other or alternative sealing mechanism prevent that limb 13 is can be radially outward crooked, thereby and with limb 13 be fixed on rim 11 below.Lid preferably also engages limb 13 short being depressed into container securely.
In order to open container, by outwarding winding lid and take off lid 5 from collar 7 from collar.By take off the action of lid from collar, can take off collar 7 from container body 3, perhaps can independent action take off collar.It also is feasible usually that collar is remained on the container body, but this is not preferred, because the advantage of collar is, near the outside that collar taking off from the container body can be remained on the container body wide-mouth does not have screw thread, has therefore improved the directly experience of beverage from container body of customer.The embodiment of collar 7 comprises the projection 25 of the approximate wedge shape on the upper exterior periphery that is positioned at each limb 13 shown in Fig. 1 (a).These projectioies 25 can with one or more projectioies and/or the co-operating of recess (not shown) on lid 5 inner faces, make to cause one or more frangible portions 27 of the loop section 15 of the collar between adjacent limb 13 to be torn, thereby allow to take off collar 7 from container body 3 from the outward winding action of lid 5 of collar 7.Projection 25 is that this fact of wedge shape can tighten to lid on the collar need not to tear under the condition of collar.
Embodiment shown in Fig. 1 (b) has the feature that collar is taken off in a kind of alternative being used to.In this embodiment, one of them limb 13 has contact pin 29, when lid 5 when collar 7 is outwarded winding, collar 7 nethermost inside outshots 30 can engage with described contact pin.This joint causes the adjacent frangible portions 27 (between described limb and adjacent limb) of collar 7 to be torn, thereby makes and can take off collar.As alternative, in case taken off lid, but therefore customer's pinch tab 29 just and tears adjacent frangible portions 27, thus make and can take off collar.
Though show not that in Fig. 1 shown fin 31 in Fig. 2 (it has shown an alternative of the present invention), it is located under the rim 11 of container body 3 outsides.Fin 31 in size, to be configured to and to be arranged in shape be isolated, make when collar 7 abuts on the downside of the rim 11 on the container body, the limb 13 of collar has formed groove between respective ribs 31, thereby prevents the rotation of collar with respect to container body.This can make lid 5 tighten on the collar 7 and from collar and outward winding.(fin 31 be located at of the present invention embodiment illustrated in fig. 1 and embodiment illustrated in fig. 2 on).According to the quantity that is located at the limb on the collar, can on container body, provide the fin of any amount.Preferably the exterior circumferential at container body is provided with four, six, eight or ten fins.(for example four or six) fin is preferred on a small quantity, thereby bigger spacing is provided between fin, and the customer is beverage from container body directly.
Fig. 2 (view (a) and (b)) has shown an embodiment, and it has and container body 3 similar shown in Fig. 1 and collar 7, but has dissimilar lid 5.Lid 5 comprises the screw thread that is positioned on its inner ring surface, but for for the purpose of clear, this does not demonstrate.Therefore, lid 5 to be tightening on the collar 7 to the used similar mode of Fig. 1 embodiment, and outwards winding from collar 7.In addition, what be similar to Fig. 1 embodiment is that collar 7 engages with the fin 31 of container body rim 11 downsides.Yet Fig. 2 embodiment also comprises and prevents lid unintentionally from the mechanism that collar 7 is outwarded winding, and therefore, this embodiment is particularly suitable for carbonic acid (or foaming) beverage, and wherein pressurize in the inside of container.This mechanism comprises the projection 33 of loop section 15 underside of being located at collar 7, and when lid tightened on the collar 7 (and lid complete closed wide-mouth opening 9) fully, the inside outshot 35 of the anti-tamper part 37 of lid engaged with this projection.For the lid 5 of outwarding winding, therefore need the customer to apply the enough power of outwarding winding, remainder from lid 5 tears it down via easily broken connecting strap 39 thereby cause anti-tamper part 37, wherein, by means of easily broken connecting strap 39 anti-tamper part 37 is connected on the remainder of lid 5.In this way, the indication that anti-tamper part 37 not only provides lid to be outwarded winding, but also provide when container maintains the content of pressurization prevents under the influence of internal tank pressurization and the mechanism of outwarding winding lid unintentionally.
Fig. 3 (view (a) and (b)) has shown another embodiment of the present invention.In this embodiment, the limb 13 of collar 7 is than the embodiment interval De Gengkai of Fig. 1 and 2.Therefore, the fin on the container body 31 is wideer than those embodiment on width.In addition, as embodiment before, limb 13 comprises radially inwardly outstanding shoulder 17.In addition, the left-handed circumferential edge 45 of each fin 31 is (band inclined-planes, promptly with respect to inclined) that chamfering is arranged, and the right-hand circumferential edge 47 of each fin is not basically along radial direction orientation (have chamfering basically, that is, be not with the inclined-plane basically).In this way, for the right-hand screw thread on collar 7 and the lid 5, when collar is positioned on the position on the container body 3, can when being tightened against on the collar, lid prevent that collar is with respect to container body (, on the direction of " tightening ") rotation deasil.Yet, when the twist-off cap period of the day from 11 p.m. to 1 a.m from collar 7, in case lid when collar top ground has discharged, the shoulder 17 of limb 13 just can ride up on the inclined-plane 45 of fin 31, thereby makes limb 13 outwardly-bent, and discharges collar 7 from container body 3.(for minus thread, the position at the ramp type edge of fin 31 and non-ramp type edge will be turned around certainly).Therefore, when lid and collar rotated with respect to container, inclined-plane 45 was as the cam that outwards drives limb 13.
The lid 5 of Fig. 3 embodiment also comprises anti-tamperly is with 47, anti-tamperly must separate (by tearing easily broken connecting strap 49) from the remainder of lid 5 with 47, so that allow from collar 7 lid of outwarding winding.By being bonded with each other between the respective teeth 51 on tooth (not shown) on the anti-tamper band inner ring surface and collar 7 outer ring surfaces, just can prevent from anti-tamperly to be with 47 with respect to collar 7 rotation.
The view 4 (a) of Fig. 4,4 (b) and 4 (c) are the scheme drawings of the opening program of another embodiment of the present invention.In this embodiment, those respective members among lid 5, collar 7 and container body 3 and other embodiment are similar, and lid 5 comprises thread segment 21 and sealing flange 23, and collar 7 comprises inwardly outstanding shoulder 17, and container body 3 comprises outwards outstanding rim 11.Yet, the collar 7 of this embodiment also comprises nethermost inside outshot 53, it is arranged to when lid is outwarded winding from collar 7 tops, can engage with the corresponding nethermost outside outshot 55 of collar 7, as shown in view (b), like this, the lid that continues to outward winding will force collar to discharge from container body and come, as shown in view (c).Therefore, in this embodiment of the present invention, take off lid from container body and can cause taking off collar from container body.More particularly, by take off the action of lid from container body, lid 5 and collar 7 can be taken off from container body together.
Fig. 5 has shown the container body 3 of drinking container 1 of another embodiment of the present invention and the top of lid 5.Collar 7 is installed on the container body 3 around the opening 9 of container body, and be positioned at rim 11 below.Also shown this collar 7 among Fig. 9; Also shown lid among Fig. 6 and 7; And lid, collar and container body in Fig. 8, have been shown once more.
As shown in Fig. 5 and 6, and in more detail as shown in Figure 7, the skirt portion of lid 5 radially comprise a plurality of bayonet-style threads 57 that are evenly spaced apart along lid periphery to inside face.Each bayonet-style threads is arranged to when lid is fixed on the container body, can accept the respective bump 19 of collar 7.Each bayonet-style threads 57 comprises part 59 and the axially extended substantially part 61 that basic hoop extends.The threaded portion 59 that basic hoop extends provides lid fixing on collar by preventing the axial motion between lid and the collar, and comprise slight deflection, thereby when lid engaged with collar fully, it and container body had formed sealing closely.Substantially axially extended threaded portion 61 can make lid axially be pushed on the collar, makes the projection 19 of collar 7 engage with the respective bayonet thread 57 of lid
At least in this embodiment of the present invention, lid can engage with collar before or after collar is installed on the container body.Fig. 8 has shown preassembled lid 5 and collar 7 before being fixed on the container body.Yet, if when collar has been installed on the container body, lid engages with collar, between the axial component 61 and protruding 19 of bayonet-style threads 57, be preferably formed and closely cooperate, requirement utilizes some power to make lid " bump " to container body/collar assembly, otherwise, the danger that collar is not removed with lid will be had when when container body takes off collar.(as described below, in this embodiment of the present invention, it is preferred that this collar and lid are removed together.In any case), in this case, cross rim 11 at the opening 9 of container body by the loop section 15 that at first makes collar, make like this collar lid be installed on the container body before collar engages.This is feasible, because the internal diameter of the loop section of collar 7 (slightly) is greater than the external diameter of rim 11.When being pushed to collar on the container body 3 downwards, the limb 13 of collar is outwardly-bent, thereby allows radially inwardly outstanding shoulder 17 to cross rim.In case shoulder 17 has been crossed rim 11, it is lax that shoulder 17 just can be returned to (at least in part) from its bandy structure, thus make collar 7 be clamped on rim below.
If lid 5 engages with collar 7 before collar is installed on the container body 3, so just lid is pushed on the collar, make the most at the beginning, substantially the axially extended part 61 of bayonet-style threads 57 is accepted the respective threaded or the projection 19 of the limb 13 of screw thread or collar, afterwards, the basic hoop extendible portion 59 of bayonet-style threads is accepted projection.As finding out in Fig. 5 to Fig. 7, each bayonet-style threads 57 comprises the recess 60 that extends radially outwardly, and it is arranged in the hoop extendible portion 59 that extends axially above the part 61.The respective flap 13 that each recess 60 can make collar 7 is outwardly-bent on the rim 11 at container body 3 time at lid and collar assembled, thereby allows radially inwardly outstanding shoulder 17 to cross rim, thereby lid and collar assembly can be installed on the container body.In case shoulder 17 has been crossed rim 11, it is lax that shoulder 17 just can be returned to (at least in part) from its bandy structure, thus make collar 7 be clamped on rim below.
No matter whether lid 5 just engaged with collar 7 before or after collar is installed on the container body, the most at the beginning, the projection 19 of each screw thread or collar 7 all is contained in the relatively dark zone (in the radial direction) of respective bayonet thread 57 of lid 5, promptly in the recess 60.Afterwards, for the opening 9 of complete closed container body reverses lid 5 (as shown in FIG. in a clockwise direction by form tight seal between lid 5 and rim 11; Certainly also can use the conter clockwise screw thread).If the limb 13 of collar 7 is not to be close to around the neighboring of container body to turn up the soil at interval to be arranged on the respective ribs 31 below the rim 11; reverse lid 5 so and can cause collar 7 with respect to container body and partial rotation usually, up to limb and fin in abutting connection with the time till.The right-hand edge of each fin 31 provides the retainer that prevents that collar 7 is further rotated.Therefore, continue to reverse lid 5 with respect to container body and can cause lid to tighten on container body rim 11 downwards, because the projection of collar or screw thread 19 have become the screw thread of container body effectively.Specifically, each screw thread of collar 7 or projection 19 move to the more shallow zone (i.e. zone 62) of bayonet-style threads from the dark zone (being recess 60) of bayonet-style threads 57.Therefore, the limb 13 of collar 7 tightens on container body 3 by cam or the contention effect that is caused by the screw thread mutual action.Be connected anti-tamper on the lid 5 and be arranged to make its engaging on internal tooth 50 and collar 7 to external tooth 51 with 47.Specifically, these two groups of teeth are arranged to for example ratchet, make external tooth 50 (i.e. clockwise direction among the embodiment shown in the figure) to cross internal tooth 51 on torsional direction.
When lid 5 engages with collar 7 and collar is installed on the container body 3 fully, thereby when being fixed on lid on the container body, each projection or screw thread 19 are positioned on torsional direction in the stub area 62 of hoop extendible portion 59 of respective bayonet thread 57.Each projection or screw thread 19 remain on this position by the retainer 65 that is included in the bayonet-style threads.Each retainer 65 preferably includes the step in its respective bayonet thread, and it is in zone 62 and comprise between the threaded portion of recess 60.In the embodiments of the invention shown in Fig. 5 to 11, each retainer 65 is arranged on the upper surface of bayonet-style threads.Yet retainer also can be used as additional or as alternative and be arranged on the lower surface and/or side of bayonet-style threads.
Reverse lid (in the embodiments of the invention shown in the figure) by utilizing moment of torsion the most at the beginning widdershins with respect to container body, just can realize taking off of lid and collar, the described moment of torsion when reversing is enough to overcome the joint between each projection or screw thread 19 and its respective stop part 65.This reversing of lid 5 causes lid with respect to collar 7 rotations, and causes collar 7 with respect to container body 3 rotations.Lid 5 causes anti-tamper destroyed with the 47 easily broken connecting straps 49 that are connected on the lid with respect to the rotation of collar 7, and this is because anti-tamper band can not rotate along with lid because ratchet 50 and 51 is interlocked with one another.Counterrotating accurate order takes place between lid 5, collar 7 and container body 3, will depend on relative friction forces and other application force between the various parts.Yet, final lid 5 will be with respect to collar 7 rotations, make each projection or screw thread 19 be positioned at an end of the hoop extendible portion 59 of its respective bayonet thread 57, and collar 7 will make each limb 13 abut on the Chamfer Edge or ramp type edge 45 of respective ribs 31 with respect to container body 3 rotations.Therefore, continue to reverse the limb 13 that lid 5 will cause collar 7 with respect to container body 3 and bridge on the ramp type edge 45 of fin 31, thereby limb is curved outwardly in the respective notches 60 of bayonet-style threads 57, and discharge collar from container body.In order further to help limb 13 outwardly-bent, its leading edge 63 on release direction preferably also be chamfering or ramp type.Therefore, collar 7 and lid 5 just can be removed from container body together, and have opened container.
Except in Figure 10 and 11, each bayonet-style threads 57 of lid 5 comprises adding in addition beyond the zone 67 of hoop extendible portion 59, and Figure 10 is identical with the embodiments of the invention shown in 11 with the embodiment shown in Fig. 5 to 9.Other adds zone 67 between the opposing ends zone 60 and 62 of hoop extendible portion 59, and provides depressed part at the lower surface of bayonet-style threads.When the sealing between lid 5 and the container body is destroyed, but before taking off lid from container body, the depressed part 67 that is provided is convenient to emission gases from container, " flies " owing to the lid that the gaseous tension that is stored in soda in the container or other effervescent beverage causes so that prevent.Specifically, depressed part 67 can be realized the axial motion of lid 5 away from container body 3, has therefore increased the gap that forms between lid and rim 11, to improve the speed of exhaust from container.In addition, the end wall 69 of each depressed part 67 provides blockage element on release direction, to block or restriction lid being further rotated on release direction, projection 19 has been enough to make the customer that lid is pressed to container body downwards up to the exhaust body, so that can be bridged on the respective end walls of depressed part.Continue rotation lids 5 with respect to container body 3 and can cause projection to move in the stub area of bayonet-style threads, thereby allow when limb 13 bridges on the inclined-plane 45 at the fin 31 of collar, the limb 13 of collar curves outwardly in the recess 60.Though as shown in Figure 10 and 11, bayonet-style threads of the present invention can comprise depressed part 67, but for many embodiment of the present invention, depressed part 67 is unnecessary, because between lid and collar, and have enough gaps between collar and container body, so that when the sealing between lid and the container body was for the first time destroyed, gas can be discharged fast.
Figure 11 (a) has also shown the membrane seal 71 that is located between lid 5 and the container body 3, and when lid was completely fixed on the container body, membrane seal 71 had formed sealing between lid 5 and rim 11.Membrane seal preferably includes metallic paper (for example aluminium foil), preferably is covered with polymeric layer on one or two first type surface of described paillon foil.Membrane seal 71 preferred combination (for example thermal) but are not combined on the container body 3 on the downside of lid 5, and owing to pressure between lid and the rim has formed the sealing that abuts on the rim 11.Therefore, when the starting stage of opening container 1 raises lid 5 from rim 11 slightly, by the pressure between relief cap and the rim, just destroyed the sealing between rim and the lid, and the gas-pressurized in the container body can be discharged in the atmosphere.
Figure 12 (view (a) and (b)) has shown another embodiment according to drinking container of the present invention.This embodiment is similar to the embodiment shown in Fig. 5 to 11 (and for example, the screw thread of lid can be identical with the screw thread of arbitrary lid shown in the drawings among Fig. 5 to Figure 11), but two main differences are arranged.At first, the embodiments of the invention shown in Figure 12 do not comprise anti-tamper band, so collar 73 does not comprise tooth 51.Yet, though do not show anti-tamper band among Figure 12,, this embodiment of the present invention can comprise anti-tamper band, and collar 73 can comprise for example tooth 51.Secondly, the more important thing is, in this embodiment of the present invention, it not is outwards outstanding rim 11 that being used to of container body 3 maintains the retaining part that is bonded on the collar on the container body when using, but comprises a plurality of recesses 75 that are arranged in container body 3 outside faces.Specifically, recess 75 is located at around the neighboring of container body 3 as spaced apart recesses, and be positioned at opening 9 below.Also can use the recess of other form.
In use, when lid 5 is fixed on the container body 3 by means of collar 73, therefore the shoulder 17 of each limb 13 of collar is positioned in the respective notches 75 of (and engage) container body outside, the shoulder 17 of each limb 13 is positioned at upper surface 75A following of respective notches 75 and engages with it.Upper surface 75A provides the downside identical functions with the rim of the foregoing description, and preferably substantially horizontal.As mentioned above, lid 5 preferably is urged to limb 13 and shoulder 17 with recess 75 and engages reliably tightening rotation on the direction with respect to collar 73, and holds them in reliably in this set, till the twist-off cap period of the day from 11 p.m. to 1 a.m.
As embodiments of the invention recited above, in order to open container, make lid 5 with respect to 73 rotations (promptly outwarding winding) of container body 3 and collar, till the stub area (on the direction of outwarding winding) that each projection or the screw thread 19 of collar is positioned at the screw thread of lid goes up.Therefore, lid 5 will force collar 73 and lid to rotate together with respect to being further rotated of container body 3.This just forces each shoulder 17 to leave its corresponding recess 75, and this is feasible, because the projection of each limb 13 of collar 73 or screw thread 19 are held by the recess 60 that extends radially outwardly of the screw thread of lid, therefore just allows each limb outwardly-bent.Shoulder 17 breaks away from recesses 75 thisly leaves the auxiliary of the chamfering leading edge 63 (on release direction) that not only is subjected to each limb 13, but also is subjected to end wall 77 (on release direction) auxiliary of (being bevelled) recess 75 of each ramp type.
As shown in Figure 12 b, the outside face of container body 3 has the shape of convergent shape in the zone of recess 75, makes its diameter diminish towards vessel port 9.In case shoulder 17 has left recess 75 and has arrived on this outside face, so, when presenting its radius less than the state of nature of container body 3 outside radiuss in limb 13 is attempted zone between recess 75, collar 73 just tends to move up towards opening naturally.This tendency helps to make collar 73 to separate with container body 3.
Embodiments of the invention shown in Figure 12 have such advantage, that is, it does not comprise outwards outstanding rim 11.(if desired, it also can comprise this rim, but any this rim need not be a large scale, and can only be used for for example helping direct beverage from container body 3.) opposite, the upper edge region of close the opening 9 of container body 3 can not have projection basically, so is comfortable and easily for directly drinking the beverage that is stored in the container the container body for the customer.
Figure 13 has shown the view according to two different embodiment of drinking container of the present invention.Container shown in view 13 (a) and 13 (b) is a large container, in case taken off lid 5 and collar 7 from container body, it just has the form (for example glass) of drinking container, as shown in view 13 (b).Container shown in the view 13 (c) is the slot container of bottle form.
Figure 14-16 has shown another embodiment according to drinking container of the present invention.This embodiment is similar to the embodiment shown in Figure 12, and comprises lid 5 and the collar 73 that is used to form container body 3 closure members, but two main differences are arranged.At first, the embodiment shown in Figure 14-16 has a plurality of recesses 80 on the lower edge of container lip of being formed at or rim 81, to replace the recess 75 shown in Figure 12.Secondly, though collar 73 has eight limbs 13 equally, but, having only four limbs (13A) to be oriented when the collar snap fit is on antelabium 81 in these limbs can engage with recess 80, and other four limbs (13B) crustal inclination radially outward, thereby in the time of on collar 73 is positioned at antelabium 81, its shoulder 17B can not engage with cooresponding recess 80 at least at first.The planar view of Figure 16 has clearly shown first group of four the shoulder 17A that is positioned at than the littler part of radius of second group of four shoulder 17B, this two organize a performance the shoulder alternately be arranged on around the periphery of collar 73.
In the antelabium 81 of container but not in its sidewall (as shown in figure 12) recess 80 is set, this is particularly suitable for the container that glass is made, this is because recess can not impair the intensity of wall of container.Equally, antelabium 81 (together with recess 81) generally can be shaped by injection-molded, and the remainder of container generally can be shaped by blowing moulding.Yet similarly setting also can be applicable to plastic container.
When making collar on the antelabium 80 that is assembled to container, these four intilted limb 13A can form snap fit (collar 73 may need to rotate to when limb 13A aims at and engages with cooresponding recess 80 till) with container.Therefore, when being assembled to lid 5 on the collar 73, these four limb 13A also prevent the rotation of collar 73 with respect to container body 3.
When lid 5 was assemblied on the collar 73, lid 5 was biased in these four outward-dipping limb 13B on the intilted position, and these four limb 13B are also engaged with corresponding recess 80.Having four advantages that present the limb 13B of slight outward-dipping state naturally is, when in order to take off lid and the twist-off cap period of the day from 11 p.m. to 1 a.m from container body 3, these limbs 13B just engages with recess in being located at lid owing to outwards eject, thereby the more reliable connection between lid 5 and the collar 73 is provided.This just helps to guarantee that collar 73 is removed with lid 5.This also helps to reduce when outwarding winding lid at first when allowing container 3 exhausts, and the risk producing or fly appears in lid 5.
In use, collar 73 preferably is installed on the container lip 81 independently.Collar 73 also can be applied on the random direction with respect to container (being that limb 13A, 13B do not need to aim at recess 80), because the rotatable subsequently less angle of collar 73 is aimed at and engaged with it with recess 80 up to limb 13A.Afterwards, lid 5 is assemblied on the collar and, makes the thread segment of lid engage, and limb 13B is urged to recess 80 accordingly engages when limb 13B also is not positioned at such position (if) with collar with respect to the collar rotation.At detent position, also preferably radially inwardly short all limb 13A and the 13B of pressing of lid 5 are so that remain on it reliably in the corresponding recess 80.As in the previous embodiment, in case lid is completely fixed, it just can prevent also that limb 13A from radially outward moving, so that limb 13A can not separate with recess 80, and shoulder 17A and 17B engage (upper surface 80A is preferably substantially horizontal) with the upper surface 80A of recess 30.
In order to open container, lid is outwarded winding with respect to container body 3 and collar 73, when the threaded portion of collar 73 arrives the stub area of screw thread of lid 5 till.Lid 5 can force collar 73 and lid 5 to rotate together with respect to being further rotated of container body 3.This just forces each shoulder 17A and 17B to leave its corresponding recess 80, this be feasible (described in embodiment before), because the threaded portion of each limb 13A, 13B of collar 73 is contained in the recess that extends radially outwardly of lid 5, therefore each limb 13A, 13B just can radially outward move, although collar is positioned in the skirt section of lid 5.The motion that limb 13A, 13B leave recess 80 is subjected to the chamfering formula leading edge of each limb 13A, 13B and each recess 80 end wall of engaging with this chamfering formula leading edge auxiliary, thereby in the mode of cam limb is driven on the outside face of antelabium 81.Limb 13A outside motion during this period is the natural tendency that presents the state that slopes inwardly against it, and the outside motion of limb 13B is to get back to its outward-dipping state of nature.
Another important feature is, antelabium 81 is convergent shapes, makes its external diameter towards the open end of container and reduce.Therefore, in case limb 13A, 13B have been moved upwards up on the outside face of antelabium, limb 13A, 13B bridge on this inclined surface towards container open end with regard to tending to so, thereby help separating of lid and container.This motion is subjected to the auxiliary of limb 13A, when in a single day limb 13A is positioned on the outside face of antelabium 81, will attempts to present its intilted state, and therefore tend to slide on the inclined surface of antelabium 81, so that radially inwardly move.Therefore, this facilitates and takes off lid from container, and help to reduce limb on the antelabium 81 to lower slider and be clamped on risk on antelabium 81 downsides.
In the above among each embodiment, be to be understood that, when lid moves to its fixed position along with collar, collar is upwards drawn and is engaged with the upper surface of recess (no matter this is the downside of rim, or the upper surface of the recess of groove or other form), and lid is pulled down, thereby engages (directly or the mid seal by some form) hermetically with vessel port.Like this, the combination of lid and collar the first surface that provides by the vessel port upper surface just is provided and the second surface that provides by described recess upper surface around, (axis that promptly is parallel to vessel port) is tightened or clamps on the direction of perpendicular.
The feature that should be appreciated that the foregoing description can be exchanged, so that other embodiments of the invention to be provided.
The invention still further relates to the lid and/or the collar that are used to provide drinking container described herein.The invention still further relates to the container body that is used to provide this drinking container.
