Definitions

  • the present invention relates to containers and closures suitable for providing visually improved combinations thereof.
  • the present invention also relates to the provision of an opening mechanism for such container and closure combinations.
  • US 3,982,651 discloses a molded container and cap, having curved rims.
  • the cap has a skirt with a bead cooperating with a groove in the container.
  • the connecting portion is a neck portion on one of the parts surrounding a substantially circular opening, the neck portion made integral with, and having an outer dimension smaller than the outer dimension of the wall portion, to provide a recess sized to substantially accommodate the wall portion of the other part, said neck portion varying in height along the periphery of the part, and the wall portion of the other part varying correspondingly in height along its periphery, wherein said combination is adapted to achieve a substantially flush outer surface of the container and the closure when combined.
  • the connecting portion is an intermediate element surrounding a substantially circular opening.
  • the intermediate element may be a ring-shaped member that may engage with one or both of the container and closure parts, e.g. by an interference fit.
  • the intermediate element may be a circular cup-shaped member.
  • cup-shaped is meant a member having a bottom part and a sidewall part having an extension in a direction substantially perpendicular to the plane of the bottom part and preferably made integral with the bottom part.
  • the cup-shaped member may engage with one or both of the container and closure parts, e.g. by an interference fit.
  • the cup-shaped member may in embodiments be arranged with the bottom part thereof closest to the closure part of the combination.
  • the cup-shaped member may be provided with one or more cut-throughs, or openings, in the bottom part.
  • the openings may be re-closable and/or provided with an opening and/or locking mechanism.
  • the cup-shaped member may in embodiments comprise one or more additional surface planes parallel to the bottom part and situated in spaced apart positions along the extent of the sidewall part so as to provide the cup-shaped member with one or more internal compartments between the parallel surface planes.
  • additional surface planes may also comprise cut-throughs or openings as already described with regard to the bottom part.
  • Such an additional surface plane may also form a "top" part and thereby the element in practice defines a cylinder shape that may hold a product inside such as, but not limited to, food, nutritions, candy, tobacco, medicine or toys to which a user has access by one or more cut-throughs or openings.
  • the outer peripheral dimension, or the outer diameter, of the member may preferably, but not exclusively, be of such value that the outer peripheral surface may engage in an interference fit with an inner, peripheral surface of the wall and/or the neck portion on one or both of the container and closure parts.
  • the parts can thereby be connected more or less by simple sliding or press-fit into to each other.
  • one or more areas on the peripheral outer surface of the intermediate element may be provided with one or more protrusions adapted to engage in an interference fit with an inner, peripheral surface of the wall and/or the neck portion on one or both of the container and closure parts.
  • protrusions may provide an even better or firmer attachment (interference fit) between the element and the parts, and/or provide a particular and distinct "closing-feeling" or “closing-sound" to the user, e.g. in order to indicate or assure to the user that the combination is correctly and adequately re-closed (or opened) when the combination is put together or separated.
  • the interference fit may also be provided by other suitable means enabling friction between the parts.
  • the protrusions on the peripheral outer surface of the intermediate element adapted to engage with the closure part of the combination are substantially drop-shaped.
  • the radial extent of such one or more drop-shaped protrusions, with respect to the peripheral outer surface of the intermediate element increases with the width of the drop-shaped protrusion, or at least substantially increases therewith.
  • the increase of the radial extension of the drop-shaped protrusion may be of a linear or non-linear character and may be different from protrusion to protrusion.
  • such protrusions may comprise any suitable size and/or shape.
  • the protrusions may be provided such that their lateral extent is larger than their vertical extent on the peripheral outer surface of the element.
  • the peripheral outer surface of the intermediate element further comprises a circumventing collar following the height variation of the neck and/or wall portion(s).
  • the circumventing collar is preferably so adapted that its outer edge will be flush with the container and closure parts when the combination is closed.
  • the circumventing collar may be a single, continuous protrusion or it may be provided as two or more separate protrusions provided end to end with each other.
  • the circumventing collar may be provided with one or more colours, e.g. if desired to clearly differentiate the collar from the container and closure parts.
  • the circumventing collar may be provided such that it is wholly or partly visible to the user, even when the combination is closed.
  • the collar on the intermediate part aids in maintaining the correct positioning and secure attachment of the container and closure parts of the combination to the intermediate element. Particularly, but not exclusively, in the situation where the combination is to be opened the collar will prevent unintended movement of the container part when the container and closure parts are turned or twisted in opposite directions for opening.
  • the intermediate element may further comprise means for engaging with internal or external elements such as, but not limited to, means that allow the combination to be presented visually attractive to a user (buyer) e.g. as one or more eyes, or eyelets, suitable for hanging the combination onto a shelf in a shop.
  • Such means may preferably, but not exclusively, be made integral with the intermediate element.
  • the intermediate element comprises a circumventing collar
  • the means may be arranged in connection with the visible (outer) surface of the collar thereby extending perpendicularly from the wall portions of the container and closure parts.
  • the means may further be detachably or removably arranged so that the user may have the option to remove such means once they are purchased.
  • the means can be provided on the inside of the intermediate element e.g. as a cutting edge for opening a plastic packaging around a product sold in the combination.
  • the means can be so arranged that they are activated and/or engaged once the user twists open the combination.
  • the material of the intermediate element may preferably, but not exclusively, comprise a light weight metal or metal alloy, such as aluminium, or it may preferably comprise, but not be limited to, paper and/or cardboard and/or rubber and/or wood and/or leather and/or silicone and/or plastic (polymer), such as PP, PA, PMMA, PC, PELD, PEHD, PET or elastomers or polymers or rubber or any combination thereof. If a plastic (polymer) is used the intermediate element may preferably be injection or blow moulded.
  • a plastic polymer
  • the intermediate element may be replaceable by a new or another intermediate element e.g. if the intermediate element holds one of the products indicated above.
  • a user may keep the container and closure part of the combination and then only need to replace the intermediate element (re-fill) whenever needed.
  • it may be provided with relevant means on or in its surfaces.
  • the protrusions on the intermediate element and on the container and closure parts may preferably be of the same kind of material as the respective parts and/or intermediate element, or may alternatively comprise another material and may further be fastened separately by any conventional method.
  • inventions are particularly, but not exclusively, advantageous for obtaining a container and closure combination for which the outside surfaces may be substantially flush with each other when the container and closure are combined as well as obtaining a combination wherein a customized course of the abutting surfaces of the container and the closure with or without the collar on the intermediate element may be provided.
  • Combinations provided with an intermediate element may be particularly beneficial with regard to production costs as the element may be used to combine two identical container and closure parts, the one then constituting the container part together with the intermediate element and the other being the closure part.
  • the base portion of the container as well as the closure may preferably, but not exclusively, be concave or convex for achieving a further visual detail and/or for achieving a combination with an appealing touch for the user, e.g. when holding the closed combination between the thumb and the index finger of one hand.
  • the height variation of said neck and/or wall portions of the combination is so adapted that the parts are complementary to each other when the container and closure parts are combined.
  • This embodiment is particularly, but not exclusively, advantageous for obtaining a container and closure combination for which the outside surfaces may be substantially flush with each other when the container and closure are combined and further for obtaining a tight fit between the parts.
  • the height variation of the above described portions of the combination describes a curve. This means that both the wall and/or neck portion(s) of the closure and container parts and/or the collar on the intermediate element may vary in height along said curve.
  • the curve described by the height variation is a sinusoid.
  • FIG. 1 A counter-directed turning of a container and a closure having portions varying in height along a sinusoid, provides a combination that requires only little manual effort for turning the two parts in different directions in relation to each other for opening of the combination, while still providing a tight fit between the parts when they are combined.
  • the wall portions and/or the neck portion is/are provided with an inwardly curled portion.
  • the inwardly curled portion may preferably, but not exclusively, be adapted to engage with the engagement means on the peripheral, outer surface of the intermediate element.
  • the engagement means are drop-shaped protrusions
  • a user may find it easy to "click" on the closure part to the intermediate element as the inwardly curled portion advantageously slides over the radially extending drop-shaped protrusion until the inwardly curled portion engages therewith in an interference fit ("snap-fit").
  • the curled portion may in stead curl outwards from the periphery of the container or closure part.
  • the wall and/or the neck portions or the inwardly curled portion thereof comprises engagement means.
  • the means for engaging may comprise threading means.
  • the threading means may comprise one or more threads distributed along the outer periphery of said wall and/or neck portion(s) of the container part and/or distributed along the inner periphery of said wall and/or neck portion(s) of the closure part.
  • the threading means may comprise threads having a pitch of 5-10 mm.
  • the means for engaging may comprise two or more protrusions distributed along the outer periphery of said wall and/or neck portion(s) of the container part and/or distributed along the inner periphery of said wall and/or neck portion(s) of the closure part.
  • the threading means and/or the two or more protrusions may be provided on either the container part or on the closure part or on both parts.
  • the engaging means on either of the parts may alternatively to the embodiments described above also or in stead comprise a bayonet-type engagement, a snap-fit engagement or other similar and well-known types of engagements.
  • a transition between the wall portion and the neck portion of the container has a radius of curvature of less than 2 mm.
  • the container and closure combination further comprises a sealing arranged between the container and closure.
  • different materials may be used for the different parts of container and closure combinations. These may preferably, but not exclusively, be so adapted that the different parts are easily separable from each other if/when the combination parts are to be disposed of. This is particularly, but not exclusively, suitable for assuring an easy sorting of the materials for subsequent recycling purposes. This may be environmentally advantageous, especially when the combination is intended as a disposable packaging, e.g. if used for food stuffs or other perishable goods.
  • Figures 1a-1c and figures 2a-2b show a container and closure combination generally indicated 1.
  • the combination comprises a container part 3 and a closure part 2.
  • the combination is in a combined or "closed” state.
  • the combination is in a separated or "opened” state.
  • the container part 3 comprises a base portion (the "bottom", not indicated), a wall portion 4 and a connecting portion 5 in the form of a neck portion 5a.
  • the outer dimension of the neck portion 5a is smaller than the outer dimension of the wall portion 4 of the container part whereby a recess for accommodating the wall portion 6 of the closure part is provided.
  • the wall portion 4 of the container part 3 and the wall portion 6 of the closure part 2 both vary in height along their respective peripheries as is shown in the figure.
  • figures 1a-1c it can be seen how the wall portions 4 and 6 are complementary to each other when the parts 2 and 3 are combined/closed.
  • the height variation of the wall portions 4 and 6 describes a sinusoid curve, but the variation may of course follow any type of curve.
  • the variation follows a sinusoid curve it is particularly easy and intuitive to separate/open the combination 1 by a simple twist of the two parts 2 and 3 in opposite directions, while the combination is still safely closed with a tight fit when the parts are combined.
  • the embodiment further provides an aesthetically improved container and closure combination.
  • the neck portion 5a and the wall portion 6 are both provided with an inwardly curled portion 7 and 8 respectively, particularly for making the neck portion 5a and the wall portion 6 engage along a smooth edge thereby also ascertaining a tight fit between the parts.
  • Embodiments can also comprise engagement means such as protrusions or threads for providing a mating engagement between the parts 2 and 3, however these are not shown in figures 1a-1c or 2a .
  • the engagement means can be provided on the outer side of the neck portion 5a of the container and on the inner side of the wall portion 6 of the closure. In an embodiment the combination is kept “closed” as a result of friction forces between the neck portion 5a and the wall portion 6.
  • the transition 9 between the wall portion 4 and the neck portion 5 is provided with a radius of curvature of less than 2mm, such as less than 1mm.
  • the combination 1 may alternatively comprise two identical parts 2 and 3 both having a base portion (the "bottom", not indicated) and a wall portion 4. Also shown is a connecting portion 5 in the form of an intermediate element comprised by a ring-shaped member 5b.
  • the outer dimension of the ring-shaped member 5b is smaller than the outer dimension of the wall portions 4 of the combination parts 2 and 3.
  • the wall portions 4 of the combination parts 2 and 3 vary in height along their respective peripheries as is shown in the figure. In the figure it can be seen how the wall portions 4 can be complementary to each other when the parts 2 and 3 are combined/closed.
  • the combination is combined by attaching the two parts 2 and 3 to the ring-shaped member 5b e.g. by an interference fit.
  • protrusions 5c on the periphery of the ring-shaped member for providing interference fit in terms of friction between the parts 2 and 3 and 5b is illustrated.
  • the protrusions 5c are shown to be of dissimilar shape and/or size and/or type so as to facilitate a possible difference in the force required to open the parts 2 and 3, respectively.
  • Other types of friction or engagement means between the parts may of course be used in order to provide a custom fit combination.
  • the height variation of the wall portions 4 of the identical parts 2 and 3 describes a sinusoid curve, but the variation may of course follow any type of curve.
  • the variation follows a sinusoid curve it is particularly easy and intuitive to separate/open the combination 1 by a simple twist of the two parts 2 and 3 in opposite directions, while the combination is still safely closed with a tight fit when the parts are combined.
  • the embodiment further provides an aesthetically improved container and closure combination.
  • the wall portions 4 are both provided with an inwardly curled portion 7 and 8 respectively, particularly for making them engage along a smooth edge thereby also ascertaining a tight fit between the parts when combined.
  • Figure 3a is a first side view of the connecting portion 5 in the form of a cup-shaped member 5c of the combination according to an embodiment of the invention.
  • the cup-shaped member 5c is shown with engagement means in the form of protrusions 11 for engaging with a "container" part 3 as shown in figure 2b .
  • the container part of the combination according to the embodiments including an intermediate element 5b, 5c can be understood as being constituted by the intermediate element and a part 2,3.

Further shown is a circumventing collar 13 with surfaces 13a and 13b (best seen in figures 3b-3d ) building an abutting surface the wall and/or neck portions of the parts 2,3, particularly for an inwardly curled portion thereof.
  • Figure 3c is another side view of the cup-shaped member 5c basically showing the same features as figure 3a , but taken from another position along the periphery of the member and intended to illustrate the height variation of the collar 13.
  • figures 3c and 3d it is also possible to see one or more means for aiding in the possible releasing of the member 5c from the part 3 in the form of cuts 14a ( figure 3c ) and means for stabilizing the member 5c in the part 3 in the form of supporting feet or fins 14b.
  • Figure 4 shows (in exploded view) very schematically how a combination may be comprised from a cup-shaped member 5c onto which a container 3 and a closure 2 part can be attached, preferably by clicking the parts onto the member by letting the inwardly curled portion 15 of the closure engage with the drop-shaped protrusions 12, and by letting the inwardly curled portion 16 of the container part 3 engage with the protrusions 11.
  • the inwardly curled portions 15,16 can then engage with the surfaces 13a and 13b respectively, of the circumventing collar 13.
