Definitions

  • the present invention relates to means for indicating that an opening tool has been used. Especially, the present invention relates to containers adapted to be used with a snap-on lid and an integrated tool for facilitating opening of the lid such as defined in the preamble of present Claim 1.
  • Containers of moulded resilient plastic materials are convenient, economical and thus widely used.
  • the lid and container combination may be made reusable whereby the lid may be replaced and removed again and again after the first opening.
  • reusability is convenient for the user, there is a risk that tamperers or mishaps may lift the lid, contaminate or remove some of the contents, and replace the lid without leaving visible evidence of removal, unless provision is made to indicate otherwise.
  • tamper-indicating means for indicating that the lid has been partly or fully removed from container has been desirable in order to protect the consumer from buying a product which is not fully fresh as when firstly sealed. Accordingly various kinds of tamper-indicating containers have been proposed.
  • One type has a seal bridging adjacent portions of the lid and the container to indicate prior removal of the lid.
  • Other types have additional parts which have to be removed before opening of the lid is possible.
  • Still other types have the lid or container formed so that integral portions thereof will break when lid is removed from the container.
  • a widely used type of containers has a snap-on lid, such containers being known from for example EP-A-0 243 545 or US-A-4 027 775, the latter also disclosing the incorporation of a tamper indicating member in the form of a circumferentially arranged guard flange.
  • Such containers are typically used to pack, for instance, products such as paints and adhesives.
  • a special type of containers comprises a tool for lifting the edge of the lid at a point thus facilitating removal of the entire lid.
  • a container is known from for example US-A-3 753 512.
  • a container of the snap-on type comprising both lid-removal tool as well as tamper-indicating means. More specifically, this document discloses a container with a circumferentially arranged rim protruding outwards from the container and having a cut-out gap wherein a portion of a hinged lifting bracket is positioned bridging this cut-out gap.
  • a number of breakable bridges are arranged between the mentioned portion of the tool and the rim. As the bracket is hinged to the container inwards of the bridges, lifting of the tool will result in displacement of the interconnected portions and the bridges will break thereby indicating that the opening tool has been in use at least once and thereby that the lid has been removed.
  • the tamper-indicating arrangement or seal known from EP-A-0 565 967 has a number of drawbacks. Due to the specific construction with a relatively long, freely extending latch member inadvertent lifting of this latch member may cause the bridges to break thus resulting in an indication that the lid has been opened despite this may not be the case. Similarly, in order to provide a tamper-indicating seal which does not necessitate too much effort to break, a number of smaller bridges are provided each being relatively easy to break; however, in the case where the latch member inadvertent is lifted, one or more, but not all, of the bridges may break which at a first glance may give the impression that the seal has been broken and the lid opened. Furthermore, when the container actually has been opened, it may be difficult to see at a quick glance that the bridges are broken.
  • a container is provided as defined in Claim 1.
  • a simple moulding tool comprising only two non-moveable parts can be used. Further, by arranging the tamper-indicating member across the bracket, an easy to detect breakage or deforming of the member is achieved.
  • the bracket member comprises a downwards oriented gripping member with an outwards directed surface, the indicator member being arranged across this surface.
  • the indicator member is arranged over the lower free end of the gripping member, this providing both protection against inadvertent movement of the bracket during, for example, handling and, on the other side, a proper indication that the bracket has been moved just slightly.
  • bracket By arranging the bracket between members extending downwards along side edges of the gripping member at least as far as the lower edge of the gripping member, a further protection against inadvertent manipulation of the bracket is provided.
  • These members may advantageously be part of a circumferentially arranged downwards facing skirt having a cut-out portion to accommodate the bracket and the indication member may be attached at two ends thereof to these members.
  • the indicator member is provided with a weakened area at which point breakage will take place.
  • additional means may be provided which helps one or both ends of the broken indication member to permanently protrude outwards, which may be accomplished by either a bracket member which resists to entirely return to its initial position when the lid is replaced, this preventing the broken indication member to fold flat across the bracket, or by providing a hinge-area of the indication member which deforms to such a degree when bend outwards that the indication member can only with difficulties fold flat against the bracket member when first lifted away.
  • the container 1 is of general pot-shaped form having a continuous sidewall 3 of circular cross-section, but could also be generally oval or rectangular or of any other form.
  • the container has an upper opening with a lid 40 mounted.
  • a circumferential skirt 10 with a downwards pointing free edge is arranged.
  • the skirt has a gap in which a bracket 20 is located, and a bridge-like indicator member 30 arranged across the bracket in a non-engaging manner and attached at the ends 31, 32 thereof to the edges 12 of the skirt portions facing the bracket.
  • the bracket is in its resting position when the lid is fully engaged and in its initial position before being used for the first time.
  • the indicator member is preferably formed integrally with the container but could also be a separate part which could be attached by, for example, ultrasonic welding or adhesive, whereby an indicator member of a different material as compared with the container could be used.
  • the illustrated skirt has, apart from the above described gap, a constant cross-section but could have other functional details such as further cut-out portions or a pair of holes for mounting a handle.
  • Supporting members not illustrated may be arranged between the wall 3 of the container and the inner surface of the skirt.
  • Fig. 2 the drawing illustrates that the indicator member has been broken at a point between its ends of attachment to the skirt with a first part 34 protruding outwards from the container and a second part 35 in its initial position.
  • the indicator member may be broken by either directly gripping the indicator member itself or indirectly by gripping the bracket to force it a outwards direction.
  • Fig. 3 illustrates both portions of the broken indicator member pointing outwards.
  • the indicator is preferably provided with a line or a point of weakened strength in order to facilitate breakage. The point of breakage may take place either at a point of attachment to the container or at a position in between. It should be secured that the indicator member will break at only one point.
  • Fig. 4 the drawing illustrates the bracket pivoted outwards and upwards away from the container to lift an edge portion of the lid. In the drawing it is not visible that the edge of the lid has been lifted.
  • the container wall 3 has an upper edge with an outwards protruding flange 4 for engagement with the lid 40.
  • the lid has a circumferentially arranged edge portion 42 with a downwards oriented free edge.
  • the edge portion has engagement means 43 and 44 arranged at the inner surface thereof for cooperating engagement with the upper edge of the container and with the flange 4.
  • the downwards protruding flange engages the inwards upper surface of the container wall 3 to properly position the lid on the container and to provide a seal between the container and the lid.
  • an inwards pointing gripping flange 44 which grips below the flange 4 of the container in a snap-on fashion in which the flexible edge portion 42 is firstly forced outwards when the lid is placed for thereafter resiliently to flex inwards as the lid is pressed downwards relative to the container.
  • the gripping means does not necessarily have to engage container flange with the lid fully pressed down into engagement with the container.
  • the bracket comprises an upper lid engaging portion 22 hinged at 23 to the container and a lower gripping member 26 extending downwards.
  • the bracket may be mounted directly on the outer wall surface or may be mounted on a flange 24 extending outwards from the container wall.
  • the lower portion of the lid engaging portion 22 is offset inwards relative to the upper portion of the gripping member to provide a rim 27 against which the free lower edge of the lid seats.
  • the skirt 10 may be provided with such a seating area for the lid.
  • the bracket has on its inner surface one or more downwards extending reinforcing ribs serving both to prevent flexing of the gripping member when lifted but also to prevent the bracket to be pressed further inwards relative to its resting position.
  • the bridge-like indicator member seen in its initial unbroken state in Fig. 5.
  • the indicator member arranged with its lower edge extending further downwards as compared with the free edge 21 of the gripping member, this server to better protect the gripping member against inadvertent lifting and also secures that the indicator member is broken before any movement of the bracket outwards takes place.
  • Fig. 6 illustrates the situation of Figs. 2 and 3 with a broken portion 34 of the indicator member 30 protruding outwards from the container
  • Fig. 7 illustrates the situation where the bracket has been pivoted outwards lifting the edge portion 42 of the lid out- and upwards to thereby free the gripping flange 44 from the container flange 4 thereby facilitating lifting away the lid from the container.
  • the bracket may have a tendency not fully to return to its initial position when the lid is mounted, this making repositioning of the broken or bend indicator member difficult. Indeed, the bracket member itself will always have a tendency to stand out a little from the container due to plastic deformation in the hinge area.
  • the gripping portion of the bracket as well as the skirt are shown with outer surfaces facing substantially perpendicularly away from the wall of the container, however, the outer surfaces could also be arranged inclined facing up- and outwards or down- and outwards, or could even be facing substantially upwards.
  • the illustrated container-lid combination is of the snap-on type, however, both the lid-lifting bracket arrangement as well as the tamper indication means could also be used with a container with a lid in frictional engagement with the container.
  • the present container is preferably manufactured in a moulded plastics material. Depending on the method of manufacturing, different material could be used for the different parts of the container as well as for the lid.
