Abstract
Description
- The invention relates to a combination of a bucket and a lid for airtight and/or watertight sealing of a product such as vegetables or paint.
- Paint is usually packaged in metal cans. The drawback of these metal cans is that the lid is released from the container by means of for instance a screwdriver, whereby the lid is deformed and it is no longer possible to seal the can properly in airtight manner. Such a can moreover has the drawback that it is not nestable.
- Vegetables are usually packaged in cans or in glass jars. A can has the drawback that it cannot be sealed after opening. A glass jar has the drawback that it is not nestable and that it is difficult to manufacture the jars from recycled glass, since the jars are usually made from clear glass.
- It is an object of the present invention to obviate the above stated drawbacks.
- This object is achieved according to the invention by a combination of a bucket and a lid according to claim 1. In the combination according to the invention a screw closure of the lid on the bucket is obtained in simple manner by the co-acting first and second cams, which are provided with rise surfaces. It is hereby possible to repeatedly open and subsequently re-seal the combination in airtight manner.
- Preferably provided on the mouth rim or on the part of the lid lying against the mouth rim of the bucket is a peripheral endless rib, which penetrates into the opposite surface when the combination is closed. A reliable and effective closure is hereby obtained.
- In an embodiment of the invention a lip is arranged in the edge of the lid overhanging the mouth rim of the bucket, which lip locks the lid against rotation relative to the bucket. Such a lip is designated as tamper-evident, whereby it is possible to see whether the combination has been opened since manufacture. A childproof fastening is moreover obtained with the lip.
- In another embodiment of the invention the lid has a central recess, the peripheral part of which lies against the inside of the side wall of the bucket in closed position of the combination. A peripheral endless rib can herein be arranged on one of these co-acting surfaces if desired. Because the co-acting surfaces make contact and particularly because the optional endless rib presses into the opposite surface, an additional sealing of the combination is hereby obtained.
- The combination is further provided in advantageous manner with a profiling, for instance a matt finish, on the outside of the side wall of the bucket and/or on the outside of the edge of the lid. Owing to this profiling the user obtains a better grip on the combination whereby it is easy to open or close. A matt finish is preferably used since this is effective and moreover enhances hygiene.
- In yet another embodiment of the invention the bucket is at least partially nestable, whereby storage space and transport costs are reduced.
- In a further embodiment of the invention the outer diameter of the lid is smaller than 160 mm. This ensures that a user can always grip and then open or close the combination with two hands.
- The combination preferably consists of polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate, polyethylene or polycarbonate.
- These and other advantages of the invention will now be elucidated with reference to the annexed drawings.
- Figure 1 shows a perspective view of the combination according to the invention;
- figure 2 shows a top view of the combination with partially cut-away parts;
- figure 3 is a perspective view as seen from the inside of the combination according to the invention with partially cut-away parts;
- figure 4 is a perspective view of the combination according to the invention with partially cut-away parts, as seen from the inside of the combination;
- figure 5 shows a cross-section of the combination according to the invention.
-
- Figure 1 shows a combination of a bucket 1 and a
lid 2. The lid ccmprises anedge 3 overhanging the bucket 1. In theedge 3 oflid 2 overhanging bucket 1 is arranged alip 4 which can be broken off. This lip lockslid 2 against rotation relative to bucket 1. The locking is released by breaking off the lip and the combination of bucket 1 andlid 2 can be opened. - Figure 2 shows a top view of the combination. It can be seen herein that bucket 1 has a
mouth rim 5 on which angularlyequidistant cams 6 are arranged. Thesecams 6 co-act withcams 7 arranged on the inside oflid 2 on edge 3 (see figure 3).Cams mouth rim 5 of the bucket is pressed onto the upper surface oflid 2 when the combination is closed, whereby an airtight sealing is obtained. - When a combination of bucket 1 and
lid 2 is closed, this combination can be opened by first breaking off thelip 4, whereby the rotation locking is released, and by then rotatinglid 2 relative to bucket such thatcams cams 7 on theedge 3 ofiid 2. - Figure 5 shows a cross-section of the combination of a bucket 1 and a
lid 2. An annularperipheral rib 8 is preferably provided on eithermouth rim 5 of bucket 1 or on the part oflid 2 co-acting therewith. When the combination is closed the rib penetrates into the opposite surface, whereby a reliable sealing of the combination is cbtained. It is further possible to provide a second annular rib 9, whereby an additional sealing of the combination is obtained. -
Mouth rim 5 of bucket 1 preferably transposes smoothly intocams 6. It hereby becomes possible to clicklid 2 onto bucket 1 after filling of the bucket, whereby this latter is closed in one movement and directly sealed owing to thelip 4. - A
stepped part 10 is preferably provided in the side wall of bucket 1. This steppedpart 10 enables nested stacking of different buckets, whereby the buckets do not become jammed together. Similarly,lid 2 is provided with a suitably formededge 11. Owing to thisedge 11 thelids 2 are likewise stackable. - The side wall of bucket 1 and/or
edge 3 oflid 2 can be provided with a profiling, such as a matt finish, whereby a user can obtain extra grip on the combination. For a better grip the outer diameter oflid 2 is preferably smaller than 160 mm. - The combination is preferably manufactured from polypropylene, polycarbonate, polyethylene or polyethylene terephthalate.
Claims (10)
- Combination of a bucket and a lid for airtight and/or watertight sealing of a product such as vegetables and fruit,which bucket comprises a generally disc-shaped bottom, a side wall standing along the edge of the bottom and first cams arranged on the mouth rim of the side wall remote from the bottom, andwhich lid comprises an edge overhanging at least a part of the periphery of the mouth rim of the bucket and second generally wedge-shaped cams arranged on this edge,which first and which second cams are arranged with their active surfaces at overlapping radial positions and can be placed at least partially coinciding;which active surfaces comprise rise surfaces;this such that on preliminary placing of the lid the second cams can pass between the first cams until the lid comes into engagement with the mouth rim, whereafter through rotation of the lid relative to the bucket at least a number of the first and at least a number of the second cams are brought into mutual wedging engagement via said active surfaces such that with said rotation an axial pressing of the lid onto the mouth rim is effected.
