Description
技术领域
本发明涉及带有塑料盖的容器。
背景技术
带有塑料盖的容器希望在容器和盖子之间具有牢固的连接和良好的密封,尤其是用于运输的容器。通常,在盖子和容器的上周边部分分别设有可互锁或互相接合的凸缘使盖子保持在容器上。问题是互锁凸缘之间接合的越强,那么盖子与容器的连接也越牢固,于是在想要取下盖子时就更困难。理想的是,当用于运输时,盖子和容器之间有良好的接合,而当需要取下盖子时,能有机构释放或减少盖子和容器之间的接合力。
实现上述目的的一种方法是在盖子上设置可撕开的条,其包括可与容器锁定凸缘接合的盖子锁定凸缘。当盖子盖在容器时,接合的锁定凸缘使盖子牢固地保持在容器上。当要取下盖子时,先取下盖子上的可撕开的条,于是在盖子和容器之间不再有任何锁定接合。
然而,虽然这种方法能够更容易地取下盖子,但是在除去可撕开的条之后盖子与容器之间没有牢固的配合。并且,由于容器和盖子之间没有剩余的物理连接,可能需要将盖子放到适当的表面上以获取容器中的物质;这会导致盖子被弄脏,于是容器中的物质会污染,或者所述表面会被容器中的物质弄脏。
在颁发给John W.Von Holdt的美国专利No.4,735,337公开了解决前一问题的方法,即,在除去可撕开的条后使盖子和容器之间能够形成牢固配合的方法。在此专利中,包括盖子锁定凸缘的盖子外裙边上设有锯齿形的撕裂线而形成可撕开的条带。撕裂线重复通过盖子锁定凸缘,因此在除去可撕开的条带之后,只有盖子锁定凸缘的隔开部分保存下来。
对于后一个问题,显然,具有由整体铰链(即挠性材料制成的直线部分)分开的两个部分的矩形盖子情况下,如果盖子锁定凸缘沿第一部分保留,而沿所述第二部分间断(比如按照Von Holdt的方法),那么第一部分将比较牢固地固定在容器上,而第二部分比较容易地铰接转动地取下,从而使得能够接触到容器的内置物。然而,这种方法的缺点是,为了提供牢固的固定,第一部分必须阻挡容器开口的至少一部分。
发明内容
在本发明中,提供了一种容器和盖子。这种容器包括空心容器主体,带有在外围延伸的加厚边框和由所述边框包围的开口端。边框构成容器主体的周边并具有直线部分。边框的直线部分形成枢轴,枢轴形成轴线。这种盖子包括盖子主体。盖子主体在闭合位置能够盖在边框上并设有包括直线部分的沟槽。沟槽的直线部分形成承座并带有凹进侧壁,凹进侧壁绕所述枢轴轴线以紧密配合关系在枢轴的周围延伸超过180度,可枢轴转动地将盖子主体铰接到容器主体,使得盖子主体能够从闭合位置运动到与容器开口端成某一角度的开启位置。
根据本发明的另一个方面提供了一种容器锁定凸缘,容器锁定凸缘刚性连接到容器主体并围绕其外侧在边框的周围延伸。裙边可拆卸地连接到盖子主体并围绕容器锁定凸缘延伸。裙边具有设置在内侧的盖子锁定凸缘,盖子锁定凸缘围绕容器主体的周围延伸,并可夹住容器锁定凸缘的底面,防止盖子主体从容器主体上脱离。在除去裙边之后,盖子主体可绕枢轴在闭合位置和开启位置之间转动。
通过下面参考附图所作的简要说明,将对本发明的其它优点、特征和特性,以及相关结构部件的操作方法和作用了解的更加清楚。

具体实施方式
在以下的说明中,本发明各实施例中类似的部件用类似的参考数字来表示。带撇号的参考数字用来表示类似部件的不同变型。参考图1,本发明的优选实施例用参考数字20总体表示,其包括容器22和盖子24,首先介绍这些部件的构造。
如图8中清楚所示,容器22包括空心容器主体26(实际上,在本优选实施例中基本上是方桶)和容器锁定凸缘28。
容器主体26具有加厚边框32和由边框32包围的开口端34。边框32构成容器主体26的周边33并包括形成枢轴64的直线部分36。枢轴64本身形成枢轴轴线A-A。
容器锁定凸缘28刚性连接到容器主体26并围绕其外侧在边框32的周围延伸。在所示优选实施例中,容器锁定凸缘28与容器主体26整体形成。
如图8所示,盖子24包括盖子主体40和裙边38。
图3A中示出了闭合状态下盖在边框32(边框32不可见)上的盖子主体40。如图9中清楚所示,盖子主体40带有沟槽46,其中设有直线部分42。直线部分42形成承座66并带有图14清楚所示的凹进侧壁67,凹进侧壁67绕轴线A-A以紧密配合关系在枢轴64的周围延伸超过180度,可枢轴转动地将盖子主体40连接到容器主体26上,如下面段落中所作更详细的介绍。
裙边38可拆卸地连接(在本优选实施例中是一个可撕开的条带,如下面段落中所要更详细介绍的)到盖子主体40并围绕容器锁定凸缘28延伸,如图7中所示。裙边38具有布置在内侧的盖子锁定凸缘56,盖子锁定凸缘56围绕容器主体26的周围延伸,并可夹住容器锁定凸缘28的底面,防止盖子主体40与容器主体26脱离,同样如图7所示。这种普通类型的容器一般是通过加压或类似的方式施加很大的力将相应部分压紧在一起进行装配,所属领域的普通技术人员应当认识到如果省去盖子锁定凸缘56的某些部分,一般地至少应将盖子24的角部释放,而盖子24和容器22是用适当的弹性材料如聚乙烯或聚丙烯制成的,因此使得能够利用传统技术将相应部分压配合在一起。
不管怎么样,显然上述部件单独形成了一种有用的结构,因为在运输时,本发明中的裙边38连接在盖子主体40上(如图1中所示),可合理地保证在正常操作状态下,盖子主体40和容器主体26不会分开,溢出所容纳的任何物质,同时在需要接触内置物时还能够除去裙边38(如图1、2和3A的顺序所示),从而使盖子主体40可以绕轴线A-A从图3A、3B和13所示的闭合位置转动到图4A、4B和14所示的开启位置,在开启位置,盖子主体40与容器22的开口端34成某一角度。
但是,本优选实施例还具有其它特征。
其中一个特征是,凹进侧壁67的一部分设有一个或多个突出钩部58,突出钩部58夹住边框32的直线部分36的底面(实际上有两个隔开的钩部),如图9和13中清楚所示。(在图4A和8中也用轮廓虚线示出了钩部58)。
另外,对于每个突出钩部58,边框32的直线部分36设有缩进或倒角部分68,如图8中清楚所示,装配时钩部58在那里移动。参见图14,图中示出了相应缩进部分68的表面69,缩进部分68的宽度朝边框32的上缘逐渐减小,因而可以减少装配所需的力并使边框32的直线部分36能够更加容易地插入沟槽46的直线部分42。在图12,表面69用虚线示出。
还应当注意到在所示优选实施例中,边框32基本上是矩形的(实际上基本是方形),具有四个直线部分36,如图10所示。类似地,盖子主体40基本上是方形,其中承座66沿其一侧排列,如图9中所示。这也使得能够更加容易地进行装配,因为不需要有专用的枢轴,所述直线部分36的任何一个都可以形成枢轴并布置在承座66内,从而避免了装配之前必须使盖子24和容器22以特定方向对准。
本优选实施例的另一个特征是,边框32基本上完全布置在沟槽46内。即,沟槽46围绕盖子主体40延伸,如图9所示,从而形成管状部分50,裙边38可分离地连接到该管状部分50,如图6和7所示。在本优选实施例中,盖子主体40和裙边38整体形成并由周边凹槽44分开,凹槽44可以设置在内表面52上,如图6中所示,也可以设置在外表面54,或内外表面上都设有一部分。
另一个特征是,盖子主体40上靠近沟槽46处设有盖子锁定凸缘72。在本优选实施例中,凸缘72从盖子主体40的管状部分50向内突出,位于盖子主体40上与承座66相对的一侧,如图9中所示,凸缘72夹住边框32的底面以防止边框32脱离沟槽46,如图12中清楚所示。这样即使在除去裙边38之后,盖子主体40与容器主体26之间也能形成可靠的封闭。可以根据需要设计盖子锁定凸缘72的相对尺寸、距离和位置以给出所要求的可靠封闭水平。为了清楚起见,盖子锁定凸缘72在图4B中用虚线示出。
本优选实施例盖子主体40的管状部分50还设有三角形的薄膜窗口74,如图3B和4B中清楚所示,其中薄膜窗口74用虚线表示。薄膜窗口74邻接周边凹槽44设置在盖子锁定凸缘72的两侧,因此当除去裙边38时,窗口74成为盖子锁定凸缘72两侧朝下的V形削弱区。于是管状部分50的这一段(即位于窗口74之间的部分)变为可向外和向上撬开而将盖子锁定凸缘72从边框32上释放的活叶76,从而使盖子主体40能够绕枢轴转动以脱离容器主体26。薄膜窗口74能够弹性伸长并起到弹簧的作用,以帮助活叶76返回其初始(锁定)位置。窗口74的薄膜厚度一般来说为大约0.2至0.5毫米(0.008至0.020英寸)。在本优选实施例中,薄膜窗口74带有加强肋78(在图4B中也用虚线表示)。这样使薄膜74在掀起活叶76时撕破的可能性减到最小,而且还有助于活叶76恢复其初始形状。
本优选实施例的还有的特征是,盖子主体40对应于盖子锁定凸缘72位置的外表面80包括指示活叶76所处位置的指示标记。本优选实施例的指示标记82包括凹进部分,包括朝上指的箭头84,如图3B和4B所示。
图15中示出了盖子的另一个实施例,其中从直线部分42延伸的管状部分50′比图1至14所示实施例的管状部分短。图15的实施例中,当按下述方法除去裙边38之后,与图14中所示盖子实施例相比,缩短的管状部分50′使得盖子能够更加完全地开启。比如,在图15所示实施例中,盖子可以打开到盖子闭合平面以上90度的位置。最好是,当盖子处于该90度开启位置时,管状部分50′的端部51以压配合接触到容器主体26的外表面41,从而在此90度开启位置形成对盖子的可释放支承。应当认识到对应于盖子的不同开启角度可以调整管状部分50′的长度而与容器主体的外表面41形成压配合接触。如图15中的实例所示,缩进部分68′的外表面69′可以是圆形,以促进绕枢轴转动到90度的开启位置,但是应该认识到表面69′也可以具有与图14中表面69类似的形状(即朝边框的上缘其宽度逐渐减小)。
为了能够更加容易地除去,本优选实施例中的裙边38在离开其下周边86处还设有窗口90,而且还设有在下周缘86和窗口90之间延伸的厚度减少部分88,如图1所示。当要除去裙边38时,可以将工具如螺丝起子插入窗口90,然后向外撬起裙边38使厚度减少部分88断开。这样形成了裙边38的突出部分92,如图2所示,可以抓住该突出部分92并向外拉动而沿周边凹槽44将裙边38从管状部分50上撕开。
应当认识到厚度减少部分88的断开是盖子24的显示打开的特征。如图7所示的阻挡凸缘94也提供了防止打开的性能,阻挡凸缘94围绕容器主体26的外面在容器锁定凸缘28下面的裙边38底部延伸,从而对从容器主体26撬起盖子24起到限制作用。
虽然上述在图1至15中示出的实施例包括裙边(如可撕开的条带38)和锁定凸缘28,但是应该认识到根据本发明的一个方面,本发明的盖子和容器并非必须包含裙边(如可撕开的条38)和锁定凸缘28。例如,图16至21所示实施例中的盖子就不是通过可撕开的条部(在前述示例中用数字38表示,带有夹住锁定凸缘28底面的盖子锁定凸缘56以防止盖子主体40脱离容器主体)接合并固定到容器上的。相反地,如图16至21中所示,本发明的盖子和容器不使用可撕开条部来额外固定。这种盖子可以用于牢固性要求不是很高的情况。在此实施例中,为了在某种程度上防止盖子从容器上脱离,如图20中清楚所示,盖子主体可以象前面所介绍的那样设有从其管状部分50向内突出的盖子锁定凸缘72,并最好位于盖子主体上与承座相对的一侧,盖子锁定凸缘72可夹住边框的底面,以防止盖子脱离边框。可以略微向外推动管状部分50使盖子锁定凸缘脱离边框32,从而使盖子能够从边框的这部分脱离,而绕枢轴A-A转动至开启位置,如上面所介绍的那样。
还应当认识到在不脱离本发明精神或范围的情况下可以改变部件的尺寸、形状和布置。所以,应当认识到本发明的范围只由所附权利要求限定。
