Definitions

  • This invention concerns containers and more particularly moulded plastics containers having integral lids.
  • Plastics containers having integral lids are known in the packaging art, such containers usually being produced flat by moulding a plastics sheet in a suitable mould.
  • the lid of the container is formed integral with the container body with a hinge in the plastics between them so that the container body can be closed by rotating the lid about the hinge.
  • a moulded plastics container having a body portion for containing a packaged article, a lid connected to the body portion for closing the body portion, and hinge means connecting the body portion to the lid, the body portion having an outwardly extending flange and a peripheral up-standing wall around the opening of the body portion, the hinge means being attached to the peripheral wall and comprising a first hinge, a second hinge, and a hinge extension between the said first and second hinges, the hinge extension being such that when the lid is closed the periphery thereof substantially abuts the said flange and thereby closes the body portion.
  • the container has a body portion 1 for containing articles and an hinged lid 2 for closing the body portion 1.
  • the body portion 1 has a recess 3 for articles to be packaged, and an outwardly extending flange 4 against which the lid 2 closes.
  • the lid 2 has two longitudinal stiffeners 5 moulded into it so that the lid resists flexing and premature opening.
  • An upstanding wall 6 around the periphery of the flange 4 imparts rigidity to the body portion 1 and the associated flange 4, and it too has a peripheral flange 7 which in turn serves to impart stiffness to the wall 6.
  • the lid 2 is connected to the body portion 1 by an integral hinge assembly shown generally at 8.
  • the hinge assembly 8 consists of a first hinge 9 which is formed along one edge of the lid 2 and a second hinge 10 which is formed along one edge of the wall 6, the first and second hinges 9, 10 being connected to each other by an extension piece 11. As will be described herein, the extension piece 11 spaces the first and second hinges 9, 10 apart by substantially the upstand of the wall 6.
  • Lid retaining means in the form of two nibs 12 extending inwardly of the wall 6 opposite the hinge assembly 8 serve to engage the end of the lid 2 remote from the hinge assembly 8 and resist opening of the lid 2 once it has been moved into its closed position.
  • the container can be seen in various stages of closure of the lid 2.
  • Fig. 1 the lid 2 is approaching the vertical, pivoting of the lid 2 relative to the body portion 1 having taken place in a counter clockwise sense about hinge 10 of the hinge assembly 8.
  • Further movement of the lid 2 to the position shown in Fig. 3 is not only in a counter clockwise sense about the hinge 10 but also in a clockwise sense about the hinge 9.
  • Opening of the lid 2 is difficult since the lid 2 is held in place by the nibs 12 and it resists flexing as a result of the presence of the stiffeners 5, the periphery of the lid 2 being a close fit within the wall 6.
