Definitions

  • the present invention generally relates to lids or molded caps for containers. More particularly, the invention relates to plug-style lids that seal container openings by engaging an inward surface or portion of the containers.
  • a wide range of rigid containers are used to store and handle products and materials.
  • a typical container includes a body for providing an inner storage area and an opening for providing access to the storage area.
  • a lid or other type of enclosure is used to close off the opening to secure and protect the products within the container during shipping and handling.
  • the lid may be adapted for hermetically sealing the opening. Sealing the container may help preserve the stored products for a longer period of time or prevent the stored product from leaking out of the container.
  • a plug-style lid is a lid that is adapted to form an interference fit with an inner surface of the container.
  • a plug-style lid usually forms a seal that can withstand shipping and handling.
  • a tool is often necessary to remove the plug-style lid from the container. Requiring a tool is less than desirable because the tool must be maintained, stored, and readily available. Also, in many cases, the use of the tool distorts the lid or container such that resealing the container is impractical and thus limits the shelf life of the stored products once the lid is initially removed.
  • Containers are often stacked one on top of another other during shipping or storage. Therefore it is desirable for the lid of one container to be able to support one or more containers that are stacked above it.
  • a lid for closing an opening of a container that is adapted to withstand the rigors of shipping and handling. Also, it would be desirable if the lid is suitable for stacking or capable of being removed from the container without the use of a separate tool.
  • the present invention addresses one or more of the above needs by providing a lid for a container.
  • the lid is securable to an inner portion of the container for closing an opening within the container.
  • the lid provides an outer flange adapted for stacking a second container on top of the first container.
  • the lid may also include a portion adapted for a user's fingers to grab and aid in the removal of the lid.
  • the lid may be removable from the container without the need for a separate removal tool.
  • the lid includes a central panel, an annular wall, an outer flange, and an internal lip.
  • the central panel is configured to cover the opening of the container.
  • the annular wall extends around the outer periphery of the central panel from a lower region to an upward region.
  • the annual wall defines a recessed area adapted to engage a distal end of a top rim of the container.
  • the outer flange extends outwardly from the upward region of the annular wall to an outer edge. The outer edge extends inward of and above a top edge of the container.
  • the outer edge corresponds to an inner diameter of a second container, such that the top edge of the first container may support the bottom end of a second container and the outer edge may engage an inward facing surface of the second container for stacking purposes.
  • the internal lip extends inwardly from the upward region of the annular wall such that it provides a surface for fingers to grab and aid in the removal of the lid from the container.
  • the container 50 includes a side wall 60 that defines an interior for storing products or materials.
  • the side wall can be formed from various materials, including but not limited to metal (e.g., the side wall can be formed through a stamping and rolling process), composite (e.g., the side wall can be formed of paperboard laminated with an impervious liner of various constructions), or plastic (e.g., the side wall can be thermoformed or molded from polymer material(s)).
  • the side wall 60 extends from a first end, referred to herein for descriptive purposes only as the top end 53, and a second end, referred to herein for descriptive purposes only as the bottom end 51.
  • the bottom end defines a bottom opening.
  • the bottom opening may be closed by any suitable closure, such as a crimped metal end or double seamed end or the like, as known in the art.
  • the bottom closure 170 includes an outer periphery 171 that defines a channel for receiving the bottom end 151 of the side wall.
  • the bottom end 151 may be affixed within the channel by a variety of methods, including crimping, adhering, and/or welding the side wall to the bottom closure as known in the art.
  • the bottom end 151 of the side wall together with the bottom closure 170 is referred to herein as the bottom portion 152 of the container.
  • an inward facing surface 172 of the bottom closure which extends generally lengthwise of the container 150 and inside of the side wall 160 defines an inner diameter of the bottom portion of the container.
  • a top rim 56 of the container defines a top opening 58 that may be closed by the lid 10 of the present invention.
  • the container 50 may further include an end member 64 that is attached to the top end 53 of the side wall.
  • the end member is generally a ring-shaped structure that includes a radially outer edge portion and a radially inner portion. The radially outer edge portion of the end member is curled such that it defines a generally annular channel for receiving the top end of the side wall.
  • the top end 53 may be affixed within the channel by a variety of methods, including crimping, roll-seaming, adhering, and/or welding the side wall to the end member as known in the art.
  • the top of the curled outer edge portion defines a top edge 66 of the container.
  • the radially inner portion defines the top rim 56 of the container that extends inwardly from the top edge 66 to a distal end 62 that defines the top opening 58 of the container.
  • the top rim may include a portion that extends downwardly from the top edge of the container.
  • the lid 10 of the present invention includes a central panel 12, an annular wall 14, and an outer flange 18.
  • the central panel 12 is configured to cover the top opening 58.
  • the central panel 12 is shaped and dimensioned to substantially correspond to the circular top opening 58.
  • the annular wall 14 extends around the periphery of the central panel 12 from a lower region 15 to an upward region 16.
  • the outer flange 18 extends outwardly from the upward region 16 of the annular wall to an outer edge 20.
  • the lower region 15 of the annular wall generally extends upwardly at a predetermined angle from the central panel 12.
  • the angle between the central panel 12 and the lower region 15 may vary.
  • the lower region 15 may be perpendicular to the central panel 12 or be at an obtuse angle to the central panel 12.
  • the lower region 15 of the annular wall extends upwardly at a 97° angle from the central panel 12.
  • the outer surface of the lower region defines an outer diameter.
  • the outer diameter varies from the central panel to the upward region in applications where the angle between the lower region and central panel is greater than 90°. More specifically, the outer diameter of the lower region becomes smaller as the annular wall extends from the upward region to the central panel and thus defines a tapered lower region.
  • the outer surface of the annular wall 14 also defines a recessed area 24.
  • the recessed area 24 is shaped to engage the distal end 62 of the rim 56.
  • the annular wall defines an annular groove.
  • the top opening 58 of the container may be closed by inserting the central panel 12 into and through the top opening.
  • the outer diameter of the lower region of the annular wall 14 corresponds to the diameter of the top opening such that at least a portion of the lower region 15 of the annular wall may be inserted through the opening.
  • the difference between the outer diameter of the lower region and the diameter of the opening may vary. In general, the greater the difference between the outer diameter of the lower region and the diameter of the opening, the greater the interference between the annular wall and the top opening. Tapering the annular wall as discussed above may facilitate the insertion of at least a portion of the annular wall through the top opening.
  • the annular wall 14 is inserted through the opening 58 until the recessed area 24 defined in the annular wall engages the distal end 62 of the rim 56 and thus secures the lid to the container.
  • the recessed area 24 may be immediately below the outer flange 18 such that the outer flange may function as a stop to help prevent the annular wall from being inserted beyond the recessed area.
  • the outer flange 18 generally extends over the top rim 56.
  • the outer flange 18 curls upwardly near its outer edge 20, such that the outer edge extends 20 inward of and above the top edge 66 of the container.
  • the extension of the outer edge inward of and above the top edge of the container provides a stacking feature for the present invention.
  • the outer edge 20 of the lid 10 in the first container 50 facilitates the stacking of a second container 150 onto the first container 50. More specifically, the top edge 66 of the first container may receive and support the bottom portion 152 of the second container 150.
  • the outer edge 20 substantially corresponds with the inner diameter of the bottom portion 152 of the second container which inhibits the second container 150 from moving or sliding perpendicular to the first container 50. Inhibiting the movement of the second container 150 increases the stability of the stacked configuration of the containers 50, 150.
  • the lid may further include an internal lip 26.
  • the internal lip 26 extends inwardly from the upward region 16 of the annular wall and is configured to provide a portion for fingers to grab.
  • the space between the internal lip 26 and the central panel 12 may be large enough to allow a user's fingers to fit between the internal lip and the central panel as the user grasps the internal lip, as shown in Figures 2 and 3.
  • the internal lip is substantially constant around the lid. In other applications, the length of the internal lip may vary or the internal lip may extend for only a portion of the lid.
  • the lid 10 may be removable from the container 50 by a user grapping and pulling one the internal lip 26 and without the need of a separate removal tool.
  • a separate removal tool may be required depending on the level of seal desired between the lid 10 and the container 50. More specifically, according to some embodiments the interference fit between the container 50 and the lid 10 is great enough that a separate removal tool is required to aid in the removal of the lid 10.
  • the lid may further include an upwardly projecting ring 22 that extends from the outer flange 18 in a direction away from the central panel 12. As illustrated, the ring 22 may be substantially aligned with the annular wall 14.
  • the ring may be used to facilitate the processing and handling of lids. For example, the ring may be configured to engage the lower region of an annular wall of a second lid to facilitate the stacking of lids during a manufacturing or packaging process.
