Definitions

  • the object of the present invention is an improved lid for containers that includes significant innovations and advantages compared to other arrangements of known lids. More specifically the new invention refers to an improved lid for containers that includes an inner body that fits to the outer part of a container and a second body that fits to said inner body encasing it on its external face, the engagement of both bodies being carried out without additional elements.
  • Said upper lid is usually formed by two bodies connected to each other, however, the union between the bodies is carried out by means of adhesion using adhesive products that are available in the market, and in so doing increase the manufacturing cost of the lid and also that of the whole packaging.
  • the present invention has been developed for the purpose of providing a lid for containers that solves the previously stated disadvantages, moreover, providing other advantages that will be clear from the description which is attached below.
  • the improved lid for containers of the present invention is of the type that has an internal body which is fitted to the container by its external part and a second body in the form of a casing fitted to said inner body encasing it by its external surface, and in which the fitting of one part to the other is carried out by means of snap fitting, the inner body being provided with a protrusion on the underside and which includes a perimeter cavity into which a rib is introduced which is an extension of the external body.
  • the external surface of the cavity and the surface of the above mentioned rib that is in contact with said external surface has a milled surface finish made of from a multitude of equidistant tabs preventing relative rotation of the bodies.
  • the inner body includes a threaded section that fits to a threaded section of the container in order to carry out the closing process of the container.
  • the container lid object of the invention is intended for containers and tubs, for example, for use in the marketing of crèmes, cosmetic and similar products and is mainly made from an inner body (1) of a plastic material with a certain degree of flexibility that is fitted to a conventional container (not shown) on its outside and by a second external enveloping body (2) made out from the same or different materials, fitted to said interior body (1) so that it encloses it by its external face as and how can be seen in Figure 1 .
  • the fitting of both bodies (1, 2) to each other is carried out by means of snap fitting, the said fitting together having being provisioned by a protrusion (3) on the lower end of the inner body (1) that protrudes perpendicularly to the outside and which has a perimeter cavity (3A) into which a rib (4) is introduced which is an extension from the lower part of the external body (2).
  • the external surface of the stated cavity (3A) likewise the surface of the rib that is in contact with said external surface has a milled surface finish (6) (made up from a multitude of equidistant tabs), as and how they can be seen in figures 2 and 3 , in such a way as to guarantee the immobility of one body against the other when the user makes a turning movement to open or close the container.
  • the inner body (1) includes an internal threaded section (5) that fits to a threaded section of the container.
