Definitions

  • This invention relates to a container, and particularly to a container comprising a hollow body having a base and a side wall defining an opening, and a closure for the opening.
  • Cosmetic creams have traditionally been packaged in double-walled containers, such a construction facilitating the provision of a container, such as a jar, in which the closure, when closing the opening, lies flush with the outer surface of the body. Further, such a construction facilitates the use of different materials for the inner and outer surfaces of the body. For example, a material such as polypropylene compatible with the ingredients of cosmetics can be used for the inner wall, while a material such as polystyrene providing a more acceptable surface from the point of view of finish, feel and compatibility with printing, can be used for the outer wall.
  • a container comprising a hollow body having a base and a side wall defining an opening, and a closure for the opening, is characterised in that the side wall is of single thickness, there being a sleeve closely fitted over the side wall, and the closure having a depending portion fitting over a portion of the side wall of the body and lying flush with the outer surface of the sleeve.
  • the container of this invention thus provides the advantages of traditional double-walled containers in that different materials such as polypropylene and polystyrene can be used for the body and sleeve respectively, with the closure being of the same material as the sleeve, while the objections against the traditional construction are overcome in that the interior and exterior dimensions of the container are closer than with a double-walled container of traditional construction.
  • the sleeve is an injection moulding whereby it can have a pleasing smooth outer surface.
  • the closure can be a screw cap, there being complimentary threads on the inner surface of the depending portion of the closure and on the underlying portion of the side wall of the body.
  • Preferably means are provided for locking the sleeve in position on the side wall of the body, such as interlocking formations on the inner surface of the sleeve and on the outer surface of the side wall of the body.
  • Means can be provided to inhibit rotation of the sleeve about the body such as serrations on the outer surface of the side wall of the body and on the inner surface of the sleeve.
  • Alternative means for positively locating the sleeve on the body may be adopted, such as cooperating screw threads on the inner surface of the sleeve and the outer surface of the side wall of the body.
  • the sleeve may be transparent and decorative, and informational material may be visible therethrough. For instance, a printed label may be inserted between the sleeve and the body.
  • the sleeve may be in either the same colour as the body or may be in a contrasting colour.
  • the container shown is circular in cross- section and comprises a hollow body 1 and a closure 2.
  • the body 1 comprises a base 3 and a side wall 4 defining an opening, the base 3 being - indented upwards centrally.
  • the side wall 4 has screw threads 5 which cooperate with corresponding threads 6 on the inner surface of a depending portion 11 of the closure 2.
  • the side wall 4 also has a pair of different size circumferential ribs 7 and 8 immediately below the closure 2, the larger rib 7 lying above the smaller rib 8.
  • a sleeve 9 is a close fit over the side wall 4 of the body 1, the sleeve 9 having a circumferential groove 10 in its inner surface in which the rib 8 on the side wall 4 engages.
  • the sleeve 9 is slid over the side wall 4 of the body 1 from the base end until the groove 10 receives the rib 8 and the leading edge of the sleeve 9 abuts the rib 7.
  • Means such as serrations are present on the inner surface of the sleeve 9 and on the outer surface of the side wall 4 to inhibit mutual rotation of the sleeve and body.
  • the sleeve 9 and the closure 2 are formed of polystyrene, suitably by injection moulding.
  • the base 3 and side wall 4 constituting the body 1 of the container are formed from polypropylene.
