Definitions

  • This invention concerns a container and lid combination, of the kind in which the container has a base and a side wall or walls and an open end opposite to the base defined by a peripheral flange extending inwardly with respect to the side wall or walls and downwardly towards the base and the lid has a closure part which is a sealing fit within the flange.
  • 'top', 'bottom', 'upwardly' and 'downwardly' and the like are used for convenience and refer to the container in its usual position of rest on its base, but the terms are not meant to exclude other dispositions of the container for which the usage is inappropriate.
  • 'Inwardly' and 'outwardly' are used with respect to the longitudinal axis of the container.
  • a common example of a container and lid combination of the kind described is the well-known lever-lid tin in which the said peripheral flange is formed as part of a top ring component secured to the edge of the body of the tin by a rolled seam and the lid is recessed in an inverted hat-shape to provide a closure part to fit within the flange and an outward rim by which the lid can be levered off the tin.
  • the invention comprises a container and lid combination in which the container has a base, a side wall or walls and an open end opposite to the base defined by a peripheral flange extending inwardly with respect to the side wall or walls and downwardly towards the base, and the lid has a closure part which is a sealing fit within the peripheral flange
  • the container comprises two components each integrally moulded from plastics material and secured together, the said components being a top component including said peripheral flange and having lid-retaining means adjacent to its periphery and independent of the peripheral flange for engaging complementary means on the lid when the closure part of the lid is fitted within the peripheral flange, and a bottom component including the base of the container, at least one of the said components having an integral wall part which comprises the side wall or walls of the container or part of the side wall or walls.
  • the container of the combination according to the invention can be made simply by separately moulding the top and bottom components, preferably by injection moulding, and then securing them together. This may be done by adhesive or solvent bonding or by thermal welding for thermoplastic materials, for example, spin welding in which frictional heat for welding is generated by relative rotation of the components may be used for containers of circular cross-section.
  • the said integral wall part of one of the components forms the whole or substantially the whole of the side wall or walls of the container so that the joint by which the components are secured together occurs close to the top or bottom of the container.
  • the bottom component may comprise the base of the container with the integral wall part upstanding from its periphery to form the side wall or walls of the container whilst the top component comprises the said inwardly and downwardly-extending flange and a peripheral seating to receive and be secured to the edge of the upstanding integral wall part.
  • the top component of the container has an upper portion which is rebated with respect to the side wall or walls of the container and the lid has a peripheral skirt to fit over the rebated part so that when the lid is fitted onto the container the lid does not project, or at least not substantially so, beyond the wall or walls of the container in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the container.
  • the lid-retaining means is located on the top component of the container adjacent to its periphery and independent of the inwardly-extending peripheral flange. Suitable means may be an outwardly-facing peripheral groove or bead for engaging, respectively, with an inwardly-facing complementary bead or groove located in a peripheral skirt on the lid. In the arrangement described above where the skirt of the lid is accommodated in a rebate in the upper portion of the top component, then the lid retaining means, for example the aforesaid peripheral groove or bead, is located in the rebate.
  • An alternative lid-retaining means comprises screw threads on the top component of the container and complementary screw threads on the lid, conveniently located on the aforesaid peripheral skirt.
  • Supplementary sealing means preferably is provided between the top component of the container and the lid. This may be a narrow bead on the lid or on the top component positioned to be engaged between the lid and the top component in a sealing fit when the lid is fitted on the container with the lid-retaining means engaged.
  • Excessive lid-fitting force may be resisted by providing the top component of the container with an abutment which is positioned to be engaged by the peripheral skirt of the lid if it is forced beyond the position in which the lid-retaining means is engaged.
  • the abutment may be located in the rebate at the upper portion of the top component of the container at a position just below the peripheral groove or bead of the lid-retaining means.
  • the abutment is discontinuous so that when the lid is in the fitted position, the lower edge of its peripheral skirt is left exposed at intervals so that a tool such as a screwdriver blade may be applied to that edge for the purpose of levering off the lid.
  • the container and lid combination according to the invention gives improved sealing of the lid and improved securing of the lid against accidental removal compared with the known lever-lid tins.
  • the snap-on lid embodiment it preserves the convenience which the user associates with the lever-lid tin in terms of removing and replacing the lid whilst avoiding the distortions to which tin lids are susceptible during repeated removals.
  • the container shown in the drawings is circular in plan and comprises a top ring component 1 and a bottom component 2, each moulded in thermoplastics material, for example polypropylene, secured together as will be described by a spun welded joint.
  • the top ring component 1 has an inwardly and downwardly-extending flange 3 around its inner periphery to define the open top of the container and receive the closure part 4 of a lid 5.
  • the top ring component 1 also has a peripheral seating for the top edge of the bottom component, comprising a downwardly-extending tapered spigot 6 and an outward flange 7 to overlie the top edge of the bottom component and give a neat appearance (see Figure 3),
  • the bottom component 2 comprises the base 8 of the container and, extending from the periphery of the base 8, the upstanding, substantially cylindrical side wall 9 of the container, the extremity of which is bevelled, as shown by the reference 10, on its inside edge to match the angle of the tapered spigot 6 of the seating on the top ring component.
  • the two components 1 and 2 are secured together by the method known as spin welding, a form of friction welding.
  • the tapered spigot 6 of the top ring component is entered into the bevelled end of the side wall part 9 of the bottom component, in which it is a snug fit.
  • One component is then rotated at high speed relative to the other whilst pressing the two components together.
  • the heat generated by friction causes the thermoplastics material to soften in the two contacting surfaces. Rotation is then ceased, allowing the softened material of the two surfaces to fuse together, providing a permanent bond on cooling.
  • the two components could be secured together by adhesive, by solvent welding or by heat welding according to well-known methods.
  • adhesive for these purposes the shape of the tapered spigot 6 and the bevel of the side wall part 9 may be altered or these features may even be omitted.
  • the side wall of the container instead of forming the side wall of the container as a part of the bottom component 2 it may be formed as a part of the top component 1 and the bottom component may be formed with an upward spigot around its periphery similar to the tapered spigot 6, the two components being secured together by a method similar to one of the methods described above.
  • each of the components 1 and 2 may include a side wall part.
  • the bottom component 2 would have a side wall part of height somewhat less than the desired height of the side wall of the container and the top component would have a complementary side wall part to provide the remainder of the desired height.
  • the two side wall parts would be joined in end- to-end relation, for example by one of the methods ; described above, their ends being appropriately shaped, for example bevelled, in known manner.
  • part of the height of the container side wall or walls may be provided by a sleeve of thermoplastics material to the opposite end of which the components 1 and 2 are secured by a method similar to one of the methods described above.
  • the downward flange forming the closure part 4 of the lid 5 is tapered in section with a feather edge to provide flexibility and good sealing relationship with the inwardly and downwardly-extending flange 3 of the top ring component 1.
  • the flange forming the closure part 4 is slightly deformed ineardly on engaging the flange 3, being made of diameter slightly greater than the minimum diameter of the latter for this purpose in order to provide good sealing relationship when the closure is in position.
  • the top ring component 1 is rebated above the flange 7 with a bevelled surface 11 and a peripheral groove 12.
  • the lid 5 has a peripheral skirt 13 at the end of which is an inward bead 14 to ride over the bevelled surface 11 and enter the groove 12, giving snap-on retention of the lid.
  • the top ring component may have a rebated part above the flange 7 formed with an external screw thread and the lid may have a skirt with a complementary internal screw thread.
  • the top ring component and the lid may have other known complementary features for retaining the lid in position.
  • the lid 5 has a narrow downwardly-projecting annular bead 15 to engage the upper surface of the top ring component 1 in sealing relation when the lid 5 is pushed fully home on the container.
  • abutments 17 are clear of but very close to the bottom edge of the skirt 13 of the lid when the latter is pushed fully home on the container.
  • the edge of the skirt 13 will engage the abutments 17 to resist the force and thus reduce the possibility of crushing or otherwise damaging the narrow annular bead 15 which could lead to failure of the bead 15 to seal against the top ring component 1 when the force is removed.
  • the same resistance to excessive force could be provided by reducing the depth of the peripheral groove 12 to a dimension only slightly greater than the depth of the bead 14. However, this would lead to difficulty in removing the lid, for which it is necessary to insert a tool into the groove 12 to disengage the bead 14 from the groove.
  • the plurality of spaced abutments could be replaced by one or more part- circular abutments extending around a sector or sectors of the shoulder 16 and leaving a space or spaces into which a tool can be inserted.
  • the abutments 17 shown are, however, preferred, since they permit a tool to be inserted successively at different positions between them for progressive disengagement of the bead 14 from the groove 12.
  • Buttons 18, 19 having headed projections are secured at diametrically-opposite positions to the outer surface of the side wall 9 of the container near its top edge to receive the ends of a bale handle 20 which pivotally engage the headed projections.
  • the base 8 of the container is supported by a base rim 21 which holds the base clear of any flat surface on which the container is stood.
