Abstract
Description
- The invention relates to a container and closure cap therefor and in particular relates to a container and closure cap of the type in which the cap is screwed onto the container to a predetermined rotational orientation relative thereto.
- It is frequently desired, typically for aesthetic reasons but also for some child resistant closure latch mechanisms, to design threaded closures and containers with non-round shapes or otherwise irregular protrusions intended to sit in alignment with respect to each other when the package is in the closed and sealed position. One example would be square shaped jars and caps for skin creams or other personal care products. Another includes oval shaped double wall screw caps designed to lock onto oval child resistant containers for medicines and other hazardous consumer products.
- The stop to which such closures are tightened to provide alignment with the container may be either or both of two general configurations. In the first instance, a radial stop on the neck of the container is configured to interact with a cooperating stop, either at the thread tail-out or on the skirt of the closure. In other cases, the stop is implemented as the lower extremity of the closure skirt comes into the vertical contact with a specially configured (squared off) shoulder on the container. The latter is frequently used to eliminate any unsightly gap between the skirt of the closure and the shoulder of the container. Again, in both cases, the positioning of the closure against any surface other than the sealing surface creates a variability in the pressure exerted against the sealing surface and results in either over-tightened closures, which are difficult to remove, or loose closures which are not well sealed to the container. Also the closure may have two or more aligned/stopped positions each corresponding to one of the starts of a multi-start thread.
- Due to minor variations in thread dimensions and the configurations of the sealing components resulting from mass production tooling and processes, closure orientation may vary by as much as 20 to 100 degrees relative to the container body when screwed on and tightened to a particular sealing force. Conversely, when such closures are screwed on to an orientation stop, the sealing force may vary from zero to an unacceptably high value.
- While there are many dimensions that can vary to cause the problem, the net result of any combination of variations may be measured as a variation in the vertical dimension between the inside roof of the closure and the sealing lip on the bottle when the cap is brought to a particular orientation and stopped. The sealing lip itself may very well be slightly irregular such that the sealing pressure varies around its circumference.
- In the past, closures have been designed to overcome this problem by means of a special sealing feature designed to telescope vertically with a cooperating feature on the container neck, such as tight fitting plug sized to seal the bore of the container neck over a range of depths of insertion. However, in many cases this technique will not work for lack of a smooth controlled diameter on the bottle to seal against.
- In other instances closures have been designed to use a relatively thick gasket resilient through an appropriate range of compressibility to take up the variation and provide sealing pressure within a suitable range. However, it is frequently desired to use only a relatively thin gasket which may be combined with a thin film glued or heat sealed across the mouth of the container to provide tamper evidence, improved barrier properties and reduced cost.
- The present invention seeks to improve on the prior art and provides a container and closure cap therefor comprising: a container having an open-ended and externally threaded cylindrical neck; a closure cap having an end wall and a cylindrical side wall with an internal screw thread adapted to cooperate with the thread on the container neck; and a flat liner disc located in the cap and adapted to form a seal with the open end of the container neck and having a diameter substantially equal to the internal diameter of the cylindrical side wall, the liner disc consisting of a circular radially inner region and an annular radially outer region; a circular spacing means formed on the end wall of the closure and having the inner region of the liner disc adhered thereto, the spacing means defining an annular recess therearound such that the outer region of the liner disc is spaced from the end wall of the cap; the arrangement being such that the annular region of the liner is deflected resiliently into the annular recess by engagement with the cylindrical neck of the container when the cap is screwed onto the container.
- In the arrangement of the present invention the liner disc is deflectected resiliently within its elastic limit and can return to its original flat condition when the closure cap is removed and flex again when the closure is re-applied.
- Embodiments of the invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
- Figure 1 is an isometric view of a rectangular container with a closure cap fitted;
- Figure 2 is a partial cross sectional view taken on the line II- II in Figure 1;
- Figure 3 is an isomeric view of a cylindrical container with a closure cap fitted;
- Figure 4 is a partial cross sectional view taken on the line IV-IV in Figure 3; and
- Figure 5 is a view similar to that of Figure 4 but showing the liner deflected.
-
- A generally rectangular container 1 is shown in Figure 1 having a generally
rectangular closure cap 2. The container and cap are of the type in which the cap is intended to be screwed onto the container to a predetermined rotational orientation to form a seal. As seen from Figure 2 the container has a body 3 and acylindrical neck 4 connected to the body by a shoulder 5. The neck has an open end and is provided with anexternal screw thread 7. - The
cap 2 has an end wall 8, a rectangular outer wall 9 and a cylindricalinner wall 10 which is provided with aninternal screw thread 11. Thethreads flat liner disc 12 which is provided in the cap for this purpose. - A
circular plinth 13 is formed on the underside of the end wall 8 and is adhered such as by glue to the circular radiallyinner region 121 of the liner so that the annular radiallyouter region 122 of the liner disc is held spaced from the end wall of the cap. Theplinth 13 defines arecess 14 therearound. When the cap is screwed onto the container, theouter region 122 of theliner disc 12 can deflect resiliently into therecess 14. Because theinner region 121 of the liner is glued to theplinth 13 and thus held against bending, theouter region 122 is effectively mounted and deflected in cantilever. - An alternative embodiment is shown in Figures 3-5 where the plinth is replaced by a plurality of
concentric rings 15. This aids cooling of the closure in the mould and also helps liner adhesion since the glue can flow into the gaps between the rings. Figure 4 shows a container and cap where the threads have been positioned such that adequate sealing pressure is established just as the closure reaches an orientation stop on the container. This is a "loosest fit" combination of tolerances and the liner is only very slightly deflected. Figure 5 shows the liner deformation which may occur when specimens having dimensions at the opposite ("tightest fit") extremes are tightened to the same relative orientation. - The liner is typically of the type comprising a thin, stiff cardboard liner disc of about 1 - 1.2 mm thickness which carries a thin aluminium membrane (not shown) which can be induction heat sealed or otherwise attached to the open end of the
neck 4 in known manner. The cardboard disc becomes separated from the membrane during the heat sealing process. When the container is first opened, the membrane is torn out and discarded but the cardboard disc remains in the cap for re-sealing the container. Naturally a liner disc which does not carry on aluminium membrane may be used for applications where this is not required. - The diameter of the
liner disc 12 is such that it will completely cover the open neck of the container but can nevertheless be placed in position for gluing to the cap without being distorted. Thus it has a diameter substantially equal to the internal diameter of the cylindrical side wall of the closure cap measured at the thread crests. In one example, the diameter of the liner disc is 0.3 mm less than that of the cylindrical side wall. - The external diameter of the neck of the container measured at the root of the threads is only slightly less than the internal diameter of the cylindrical side wall so that a good close fit is provided.
- The diameter of the plinth 13 (or of the
outer ring 15 in the case of the Figure 4 embodiment) may be varied according to design and liner material requirements. As the plinth diameter increases, the angle through which theliner 12 must flex in order to take up the same height variation increases. This changing of the angle through which the liner material flexes causes a proportional change in the force against the sealing lip of the bottle. ie the smaller the angle through which the material has to flex, the lower the force required to flex it, and vice versa. This permits tailoring of the sealing force to the optimum required for welding the IHS (induction heat seal) type materials. In the case of liner materials that do not need welding, it permits tailoring of the tightening force required to accommodate a range of liner material stiffnesses.
