Definitions

  • This invention relates to container tubes for various products provided with a closer cap or lid for the tube, in which the tube has a neck through which the product can flow to the exterior and to which the cap is connected.
  • the printing is relatively simple due to the shape of the section, but the centring of the head with its guide in relation to the front printing cannot be carried out on a normal injection machine, which makes it necessary to carry out this operation on each container individually, with the undoubtedly high cost that this entails for each container.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to provide a container made up of a container tube provided with a neck or head, with a circular cross-section, and a hinged cap, also circular, according to which the finger cot in the cap is situated in a centred position in relation to the main printing on the tube.
  • a conventional technique is used in order to produce a container of this type, starting with the extrusion of the tube, followed by the printing of the tube, the injection of the neck or head of the tube and the fitting of the cap. In this sequence, the order for injection of the neck of the tube and the printing can be altered.
  • the object of this invention is not the procedure or method of carrying out the assembly, but the container itself, we must point out that in order to carry out the object mentioned above, the invention proposes a container tube with a circular cross section, which is closed and sealed at one of its ends by diametral welding or by some other alternative method, whereas the other end receives the neck with the cap.
  • the outer side surface of the container tube is printed in two portions, one main and one secondary and usually printed on diametrally opposed planes.
  • the neck of the tube is of a diameter substantially smaller than that of the tube itself and at the portion of it which is closest to the tube, it is provided with a ring-shaped recess situated below a ring-shaped ledge, with access being, from above, by means of a trunco-conical cross section.
  • the neck cylindrical in shape, extends towards its upper end, with all its outer side surface grooved by a series of longitudinal teeth cut parallel to the longitudinal axis of the container.
  • the number of teeth is not defined, although considerable in number, which means that the teeth will be small in material size and generally triangular in shape.
  • the above mentioned toothed portion can be finished at its upper end with an internal diameter corresponding to the thickness of the material itself, and can also be finished by a front wall holed with a diameter smaller than that of the interior of the neck, as will be seen later with respect to the sheets of drawings which are attached.
  • the upper end of the neck determines a seating for the cap which can provide a greater or smaller surface contact.
  • the cap is a straight-sided cylinder with the upper hinge articulated onto its body and forming a whole with it, including one hinge area and another finger cot area diametrally separated from each other, with it being precisely this latter area which must be assembled centrally with the main printing on the container tube.
  • the hinge has a tubular projection on its lower internal face which is housed in a hole in the cap itself.
  • the cap is provided with three concentric skirts, with the most outer one containing the finger cot portion, in the form of a recess, being adjusted in a greater or lesser degree to the external diameter of the container tube.
  • the second or middle skirt is adjusted to the exterior of the neck of the tube and includes a lower edge with a ring-shaped ledge next to a recess, also ring-shaped, by means of which it can be fitted by pressure to the above mentioned exterior of the tube neck, which, as was mentioned earlier, is provided with the corresponding means.
  • This second skirt is provided with a series of longitudinal teeth situated above the recess in it, which act in correspondence with the teeth in the tube neck.
  • the third or innermost skirt is housed inside the neck of the tube, receiving the front end of this in a tight fit.
  • This skirt is situated at a variable distance from the second one, in order to be able to receive the two previously mentioned possibilities for the front end of the neck.
  • the outermost skirt on the cap is connected to the toothed skirt by means of a series of regularly distributed ribs, which reinforce the cap assembly. It is established that one of these ribs will be oversized so that it can be used as a reference for the centring of the cap and the tube. It can be situated at any position inside the cap, for example separated by 180o from the finger cot area or any other, so that by taking it as a reference with a certain area of the tube, the centring can be achieved.
  • a container tube (1) is represented, with its head provided with a tronco-conical portion (5) and the neck.
  • the latter is provided with the ring-shaped recess (3), the ring-shaped ledge (2) and its upper end is provided with a series of longitudinal teeth.
  • Figures 2 and 3 represent the cap to be connected to the said tube, with its upper hinged area (6) forming the hinge at (8) to the lower remaining part, in which the finger cot that operates the hinged part is formed.
  • This cap has three skirts: the outermost one, in which the finger cot (7) is made, and the other two interior ones (middle and innermost), between which the neck of the tube will be housed.
  • the outer one of these two skirts being the middle one (9) in the cap, includes an internal lip (10) and a toothed area (12) with triangular teeth.
  • the outermost and the middle skirts are connected by means of the regularly distributed or spaced ribs (14), one of them (13) being oversized so that it can be used as a reference in the centring.
  • the other constructive variant for the tube shown in Figure 4 represents the neck with its toothed portion (4) finished off by the holed closure area (15) which reduces the flow outlet from the interior of the tube.
  • This tube is connected to the cap shown in Figure 5, which is similar to that shown in Figure 2, with the variation consisting of a greater dimension (17) between the inner skirts in order to accommodate the closure area (15) of the tube.
  • the other variant shown on the right of the axis, increases the space between the inner skirts in order to receive the greater neck dimension at this upper front end area.
