Definitions

  • the invention firstly relates to a container for liquid substances, such as paint, oil etc, comprising at least a top wall in which a pouring opening is provided.
  • the container to which the present invention relates is primarily intended for viscous substances, such as paint, mineral oil, olive oil etc.
  • viscous substances such as paint, mineral oil, olive oil etc.
  • a container for paint a so-called paint can
  • problems may arise when pouring paint from the pouring opening. Because of its viscous nature, the paint will drip along a side wall of the container, thus smearing it with paint. Moreover, paint will fill the roundgoing groove at the top of the side wall. In practise, it is very difficult to pour paint from the pouring opening without making a mess.
  • a container for liquid substances comprising at least a top wall in which a pouring opening is provided, characterized in that the pouring opening is teardrop shaped with its wider part closest to the circumference of the top wall and with its narrower part closest to the center of the top wall, wherein two side edges of the pouring opening connecting the wider part with the narrower part meet each other at the narrower part while enclosing an acute angle.
  • the narrower part is rounded with a radius between 0 and 8 mm, and preferably the radius of the narrower part is 1 mm;
  • the wider part has a width between 8 and 20 mm, and preferably the width of the wider part is 12 mm;
  • the pouring opening has a length (measured between the wider part and the narrower part) between 25 and 50 mm, and preferably the length of the pouring opening is 36 mm;
  • the ratio between the width of the wider part and the length of the pouring opening ranges from 1:2 to 1:4, and preferably said ratio is 1:3.
  • the container can be a container of the type in which the top wall is an integral part of the container.
  • a container type can be used as a disposable container for single use.
  • the top wall defines a lid which is removably attached to the remainder of the container.
  • a lid which is removably attached to the remainder of the container.
  • the container is of a reusable type or a refillable type, it is advantageous that it is provided with removable cap means for closing the pouring opening.
  • the top wall comprises a lip extending radially outward of the pouring opening beyond the outer circumference of the top wall. Such a lip further reduces the chance of a viscous liquid dripping along a side wall of the container.
  • such a lip extends inclined downwardly.
  • a container with such a lip comprising a tubular container body wherein the top wall is substantially circular and wherein the dimensions of the lip are such that it can be accommodated in a free space occurring between adjacent containers which are closely stacked in a staggered manner.
  • containers of such a type will be stacked in a staggered manner for transport or storage. Because, in such a stacked position of the containers, the lips can be accommodated in said free spaces, the required space for storing or transport will not increase.
  • the invention further relates to a lid for application in a container in accordance with the present invention.
  • a container 1 for liquid substances comprises at least a top wall 2 in which a teardrop shaped pouring opening 3 is provided. Radially outward of the pouring opening 3 a lip 4 is provided which extends radially outward of the pouring opening beyond the outer circumference 5 of the top wall 2.
  • the top wall 2 is removably attached to the remainder of the container 1 such as to define a removable lid or cover.
  • the pouring opening 3 can cooperate with a removable cap means 6 for opening and closing the pouring opening 3.
  • this cap means 6 may be attached to the top wall 2 in a flexible manner such as to allow its movements (according to arrow 7).
  • the lip 4 extends slightly inclined downwardly.
  • top wall 2 also could be an integral part of the container 1, that means that it cannot be removed therefrom.
  • FIG. 3 A top wall 2 is illustrated as viewed in a pouring position of the container 1, that means that in such a pouring position the lip 4 substantially would point downwardly.
  • the pouring opening 3 comprises a lower wider part 8, an upper narrower part 10 and two side edges 9 connecting the wider part 8 and narrower part 10.
  • the wider part 8 has a width w between 8 and 20 mm, preferably 12 mm.
  • the pouring opening 3 has a length 1 (measured between the wider part 8 and the narrower part 10) between 25 and 50 mm, preferably 36 mm.
  • the ratio between the width w of the wider part 8 and the length 1 of the pouring opening 3 ranges from 1:2 to 1:4, and preferably is 1:3.
  • the top wall 2 has a circular shape such as to fit in a tubular container body (for example as illustrated in Fig. 1).
  • Fig. 4 part of the pouring opening 3 is shown on a larger scale, representing the narrower part 10 where the left and right side edges 9 meet. As represented these side edges 9 enclose an acute angle. Further the connection between both side edges 9 is rounded, with a radius of curvature r of between 0 and 8 mm, preferably 1 mm.
  • FIG. 5 In a top plan view three containers 11, 21 and 31 are illustrated which in a staggered manner are stacked closely (as would be the case for storage or transport). Between adjacent containers 11, 21, 31 a free space 12 is defined. Now, the dimensions of the lip 4 are such, that it can be accommodated in such a free space 12, thus not having any influence on the storage or transport positions of the containers. It is noted, that the remaining containers 21 and 31 also could be provided with a lip 4 which then would be accommodated in corresponding free spaces.
