Definitions

  • the invention relates to a closure cap for sealing the neck of a container.
  • detergent fabric softening compositions are sold in plastics containers of 4 litre capacity and dishwashing liquids in containers of up to 10 litres. Very often, these containers are styled so that for aesthetic reasons it is desirable to provide a closure cap of substantial size. Furthermore, some products are sold in containers, the caps of which are designed to act as a measure and are consequently of large volume, perhaps 60-120 millilitres.
  • Figure 1 of the accompanying drawings shows a vertical section through a part of a large volume closure cap.
  • the neck (10) of a screw-threaded bottle extends upwardly inside the skirt (11) of the cap.
  • the upper part of the skirt is provided with screw-threads (13) engaging with the screw threads (14) on the neck of the container and the roof (15) of the cap is provided with a projecting tapered annulus (16) which fits inside the neck of the container to provide a seal.
  • a disadvantage of the arrangement shown in Figure 1 is that if the cap is used as a measure for liquid, residues are able to run down the sides of the bottle, making it unpleasant to handle.
  • a combined closure cap and measuring cup for a container, formed with a roof, with a skirt, with an engagement adapted to co-operate with a corresponding engagement on the container so as to retain the cap on the neck of the container, and with sealing means adapted to engage in sealing relationship with the neck of the container, wherein both the engagement and the sealing means are formed in the skirt remote from the roof.
  • Embodiments of the closure caps of the invention are shown in Figures 2 to 7 each of which shows a vertical section through that part of the cap bearing the engagement and sealing means, and the corresponding part of the bottle neck.
  • the container is formed with a shorter neck (10) than that shown in Figure 1.
  • the skirt (11) of the cap is provided with an engagement in the form of screw threads (13) which co-operate with corresponding screw threads (14) on the bottle neck.
  • the skirt of the cap is stepped, the engagement consisting of the screw threads (13) being carried on the large diameter part.
  • the sealing means consists of a tapered, downwardly projecting sealing ring (16) which is formed as a continuation of the smaller diameter part of the skirt. The edge of the bottle neck consequently engages the U shaped channel formed by the upper part of the screw threaded portion of the skirt (18) and the sealing ring (16), and this aids sealing also.
  • the sealing means consists of a separate sealing plug (17) of lined cork or of deformable plastics material which may be a loose fit in the closure cap and a press fit in the bottle neck, in which case it will need to be removed separately from the neck after removing the cap.
  • the sealing means in this embodiment is also a separate insert, in this case a dished plastics insert (18), the outside of the dish wall butting against an angled surface (19) on the inside of the bottle neck and the edge of the wall butting against a second angled surface on the interior of the skirt at-(20) and thereby forming a seal.
  • a separate insert in this case a dished plastics insert (18)
  • the outside of the dish wall butting against an angled surface (19) on the inside of the bottle neck and the edge of the wall butting against a second angled surface on the interior of the skirt at-(20) and thereby forming a seal.
  • the sealing means consists of a sealing ring (16) formed on the edge of the skirt which butts against a shoulder (22) formed on the bottle neck.
  • the designs illustrated in Figures 2-7 can have two advantages. First, it is possible with all the designs to make a saving on the amount of material needed to form the container, since it is unnecessary to provide a long neck extending upwardly inside the skirt of the cap. Secondly, the location of the seal minimizes liquid running down the container when the cap has been used as a measuring cap for measuring the container's liquid contents.
