Definitions

  • the invention relates to a set for closing a container body, comprising a ring, a foil and a lid, wherein the foil is adhered to the ring, to a preset comprising a ring, a foil and a lid wherein the foil is not yet adhered to the ring, to a method for producing the set comprising the ring, the lid and the foil adhered to the ring, and finally to a method for producing a container.
  • Containers according to the present invention should have an optimal airtight closure due to their content and to their use under conditions which when in open contact with the container content results in an accelerated degradation of the content. Therefore the container body is provided with a ring determining an opening and this opening is closed off by a foil adhered to the container. The foil may be peeled off using a foil tab. The container is furthermore provided with a metal lid covering the foil. Accordingly, the lid protects the foil against undesired breakage. However, the container is furthermore tamper proof and reduces a risk for unwanted additions to the content of the container.
  • One type of such containers comprises a foil which is seamed into the seam formed between a ring curl and a curl of the container body.
  • Such type of container is called a PAL container.
  • Another type of container comprises a peelable foil which is sealed to an horizontal ring part.
  • the lid closes over the foil and onto the ring and is often provided with arresting means (a circumferential bead or dimples) avoiding an undesired release of the lid from the ring.
  • Such container is often called a PALOS container.
  • Another type of container comprises a peelable foil which is sealed to the ring and a plastic lid or cap overcloses foil and ring and is connected to the container seam.
  • a peelable foil which is sealed to the ring and a plastic lid or cap overcloses foil and ring and is connected to the container seam.
  • Such container is often called an easy opening container.
  • the PAL container requires a tool for getting access to the content of the container.
  • the PAL container is optimally reclosable and is of high safety against unwanted additions to the container content.
  • the manufacturing costs of the PAL container are relatively high.
  • the PALOS container also requires a tool for breaking the foil and getting access to the container content.
  • the PALOS container is less optimally reclosable but has the same safety properties. Manufacturing costs are even higher than those of the PAL container.
  • the container has the optimal properties for opening by tearing off the foil using the foil tab.
  • the container is only reclosable by using the additional plastic cap overclosing the ring and connected to the body seam. Safety is reduces but manufacturing costs are relatively low.
  • the present invention has for its object to provide a container which has optimal opening properties similar to those of the pealable closure container. Furthermore, reclosability should be optimal and manufacturing costs relatively low.
  • GB07562A discloses a container comprising a body provided with a ring determining an opening, a foil closing the opening, and a lid covering the foil and is connected to the ring.
  • the ring and the lid are resiliently connected and the foil is adhered to the ring in a resilient connection between the ring and the lid.
  • FR 789 556 A discloses a similar container having a ring fixed to the container body. A foil is placed over the ring and another ring having a stopper is pressed into the ring opening.
  • WO 97/25255 A disclosed a so-called PAL container, in which the foil is connected to the ring and interposed between the ring and the container body. The foil is not adhered to the ring in a resilient connection between the ring and the lid.
  • WO 97/25255 A discloses the features of the preamble of claim 1.
  • the invention provides a set for a container as claimed in claim 1.
  • the gist of the invention resides in the formation of a set comprising the ring and the lid and the foil being interposed between the ring and the lid which have a mutual resilient connection and thereby resiliently maintaining the foil between ring and lid.
  • the foil is provided with sealing material such that by application of heat the foil is adhered to the ring while being present and resiliently pressed in placed between the lid and ring.
  • foil material and thinner foil such as less than 100 ⁇ m, in particular 70 ⁇ m
  • a material reduction is estimated to about 10%.
  • the ring and lid could be made of thinner material for reasons that in the resilient connection material sizes are less critical.
  • the foil is maintained in the preset between ring and lid and this preset could be subjected to the heat treatment using an oven. Accordingly, it is not required to use a particular sealing apparatus comprising sealing means which only temporarily contact ring and/or lid in a position where the foil is to be adhered to the ring by application of heat. Accordingly, the production rate may be increased while using standard equipment.
  • the resilient connection has a contact area which is at an angle of 45-100°, preferably 45-90°, more preferably 75-90° with the axial direction of the container. Selecting the contact area within the range of 45-100°, preferably within 45-90° and more preferably between 75-90° with the (horizontal) plane defined by the ring results in less force required for removing the lid out of the resilient connection. For reasons that only a force slightly higher than the friction force is to be applied. Larger the contact angles will result in a lower fraction of the normal force for the resilient connection to be compensated. At an angle of 90° the normal force of the resilient connection in a direction of releasing the lid from the ring is very low if present at all.
  • the resilient force required for the resilient connection may originate from the lid part or from the ring part, or from both parts.
  • both parts are resilient such that the sizes and measures of these parts are less critical.
  • the resilient property in the resilient part of the lid and/or ring is obtained by deforming these parts to 0.2% of their yield point.
  • the resilient connection has a surface pressure within the range of 600-1300N/cm 2 , preferably 700-1200N/cm 2 . Accordingly, under practical conditions the resilient connection complies with the manufacturing, handling and user requirements and an undesired release of the lid from the ring is substantially avoided.
  • the lid resides within the ring opening such that in outward radial direction the lid is in the inner position and the ring is in the outer position and the foil inserted there between.
  • the lid closes over the ring opening. Accordingly, in outward radial direction the ring part connected to the foil is at the inner position and the corresponding lid part in the outer position having the foil inserted in between.
  • the present invention relates to a method for producing a set comprising the steps of:
  • the invention is based on the insight that a preset could be formed by inserting the foil in between the ring and the lid using a resilient connection. It is this preset that could be subsequently subjected to a heat treatment (preferably at a heat treatment temperature of in between 90-150° dependent on the sealing material used). Accordingly, no additional equipment or tools are required for maintaining the preset during the application of heat for a minimum amount of time for adhering the foil to the ring.
  • the foil when forming the preset, may be first mounted on the ring or first mounted on the lid and subsequently apply the lid or the ring respectively and form the resilient connection.
  • the foil In mounting the foil it might be that the foil remains on the ring or lid due to gravitation forces. If not applicable then the foil could be mounted using clamping force and/or magnetic force.
  • Figure 1 shows a container 1 according to the invention.
  • the container comprises a body 2 and a ring 3 which is seamed to the body 2.
  • a foil 4 is adhered to the ring and comprises a tab 5 for removing the foil 4 and making the content of the container 1 available via an opening determined by the ring 3.
  • the container 1 further comprises a lid 6 which (if present) covers the foil and is connected to the ring 3.
  • Figures 2-4 illustrate a method for producing a set 7 comprising a ring 3, a foil 4 and a lid 6.
  • the ring 3 comprises a curl 8 for being connected to the container body 2 via a seam.
  • the ring 3 further comprises a wall 9 connected via a horizontal wall 10 to a curved and downwardly directed ring part 11. This ring part 11 has resilient properties when urged into a radially outward direction.
  • the foil 4 is cup shaped having a central panel 12 and an upright edge 13.
  • the lid 6 has a central lid panel 14 and an upright wall 15.
  • the metal foil 4 is mounted on the lid 6 and maintained on the lid 6 using a magnet 16.
  • Figure 5 shows more in detail the set 7 comprising the ring 3, the lid 6 and the foil 4 which is at a resilient connection 22 in between the ring part 11 and the lid wall 15.
  • the foil 14 is adhered to the ring part 11 via the seem material 23.
  • the compression force is in the direction of the arrow 24 whereas the direction of releasing the lid 6 from the ring 3 is in the direction of the arrow 25 and experiences only the friction force and not the resilient compression force.
  • Figures 7, 8 and 9 show another method according to the invention for producing a set according to the invention.
  • Figure 7 shows another ring 26 which has a resilient and bended ring part 27 which is in figure 7 in a slanted position.
  • the foil 28 has an edge 29 which is in a similarly slanted position as the ring part 27.
  • the lid 30 also comprises a lid wall 31 having a similarly slanted orientation.
  • the foil 28 is mounted on the lid 30 with the foil edge 29 and lid wall 31 closely fitting to one another.
  • the ring 26 is pressed onto the combination of lid 30 and foil 28. This results in a preset 33 shown in figure 9 .
  • the lid wall 31 and the ring part 27 are resilient thereby forming a resilient connection between the ring 26 and the lid 30 with the foil 28 pressed in between.
  • the edge 29, the lid wall 31 and the ring part 27 have a corresponding slanted position which means that the angle alpha between a plane 36 through the contact area and a horizontal plane of the ring 26 is at about 60°.
  • Figures 10, 11 and 12 show the manufacturing steps of a preset 38 which after heat treatment results in a set 39 according to the invention.
  • the ring 40 comprises an upright part 41 for receiving a foil 42 which has a downwardly directed edge 43.
  • the foil 42 is laid onto the ring 40.
