Definitions

  • This invention relates to tamper evident packaging, and more particularly to a tamper evident packaging container in which the body of the container is formed by a cylindrical tube, for example a paperboard tube.
  • Packaging containers having a body formed by a paperboard tube are well known and are extensively used for the retail sale of food ingredients.
  • such containers have a right-circular cylindrical paperboard tube body which is closed at the lower end thereof by a suitable base.
  • a moulded plastics lid is push-fitted into the mouth formed by the curl to close the container.
  • Such lids are readily removable and replaceable so that the contents of the container can be used over a significant period, and the container re-sealed between uses.
  • the external diameter of the container is substantially constant over the entire height of the container.
  • the inward curl forms a mouth which has a diameter less than the external diameter of the container, and the lid includes a bung portion which fits within the mouth and a flange which rests on top of the curl to limit the inward movement of the lid.
  • the flange has a diameter substantially equal to that of the paperboard body.
  • a tamper evident packaging container comprising a tubular body having a lower end closed by a base and an upper end defining a mouth through which product may be removed from the container; and a lid which is a push-fit with the upper end of the container for closing the mouth, wherein the body exhibits, in the region of the mouth, an external bulge for retaining a tamper evident shrink sleeve which must be destroyed to remove the lid from the body.
  • the body is a paperboard tube which is preferably of circular or oval cross-section.
  • the paperboard tube is formed with an inward curled bead at the upper end thereof to define the mouth.
  • the bead is so shaped that although it is inwardly curled, the initial transition from the uniform diameter body to the bead is in the form of an outward deformation of the body. This outward deformation provides the bulge for retaining the tamper evident sleeve.
  • the lid includes a bung portion which is a push-fit within the bead and a flange portion which overlies the bead to limit the depth to which the bung portion is inserted.
  • tamper evident sleeve overlies a portion of the flange.
  • the container comprises a body 2 formed by a paperboard tube.
  • the lower end of the body 2 will be closed by an appropriate base.
  • the exact nature of the base is not relevant to the present invention.
  • the upper end of the body 2 is formed with an inwardly curled bead 3 which serves a number of functions. More particularly, the bead 3 reinforces the upper end of the body and defines a mouth in which the bung portion 4 of a lid 5 may be inserted to close the container.
  • the elasticity of the lid 5 and body 2, enhanced by the bead 3, mean that the lid 5 can be made a comfortably tight push-fit within the mouth in order to prevent loss of product from the container and substantially to isolate the contents of the container from the surrounding atmosphere.
  • the upper surface of the bead 3 provides a stop surface against which a flange 6 of the lid engages in order to limit the inward movement of the bung 4 into the mouth.
  • Containers of the type shown in Figure 1 are extensively used for the retail sale of food ingredients, for example herbs and spices.
  • a tamper evident shrink sleeve 7 is shown schematically.
  • shrink sleeves are well recognised in the packaging art and are applied to containers after filling in order to provide evidence that the lid of the container has subsequently been removed.
  • the sleeves are shrunk into engagement with the container and cannot be removed without tearing a portion of the sleeve, which provides evidence of opening of the container. It will be noted, however, that if a shrink sleeve 7 is applied to a container illustrated in Figure 1 it will not be effective because of the substantially constant external diameter of the container.
  • the paperboard of the body 2 will have a glazed external surface and accordingly by careful manipulation it will be possible to remove the lid 5 without breaking the flangeable portion of the sleeve 7, and subsequently to replace the lid 5 and re-position the skirt portion of the shrink sleeve 7 over the upper portion of the body.
  • Figure 2 illustrates an embodiment of the invention.
  • the body 8 of the container 9 is formed by a paperboard tube.
  • the paperboard tube will be closed at the lower end by a suitable base.
  • An inward curl 10 is provided at the upper end of the tube to form a mouth for receipt of a lid 5 of conventional form.
  • the bead 10 is curled inwardly, the initial transition from the cylindrical external surface of the body 8 to the bead 10 is in the radially outward direction. Accordingly, the bead forms a bulge in the external surface of the body the radial extent of the bulge being determined by the profile of the bead 10.
  • the bulge provides an increase in the external radius of the body by an amount A, and accordingly an increase in the external diameter of 2A.
  • the container of Figure 2 is illustrated with a tamper evident shrink sleeve 11 applied to the upper end thereof.
  • the lowest portion 12 of the shrink sleeve has been shrunk into contact with the normal external diameter of the body 8.
  • the uppermost portion 13 of the sleeve overlies the flange 6 of the lid. Because of the bulge in the external diameter of the body provided by the bead 10 the sleeve cannot be removed from the body simply by sliding in the upward direction as viewed in Figure 3. Accordingly, the sleeve must be destroyed in order to remove the lid 5 from the container, thereby providing the required degree of tamper evidence.
  • the bead profile 10 required for the purposes of the present invention can be formed by rolling an inwardly curled bead in a conventional manner and then applying a rotating former to the interior surface of the bead to apply outward force thereto. By this means, the bead may be deformed outwardly to provide the offset A required for the purposes of the present invention.
