Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to a dispensing closure and particularly to a dispensing closure with a lid moveable between an open position and a closed position.
- EP 1780141 describes a flip-top closure with a spring-loaded catch for holding the lid in a closed position.
- EP 0 541 846 A1 describes a dispensing closure with a lid and a base which is attachable to a container.
- the dispensing closure is rotatable between a position where the lid is locked and a position where the lid is unlocked.
- the present invention seeks to address the problems with known dispensing closures.
- a dispensing closure comprising: a dispensing part; and a base which is attachable to a container, the dispensing part has a lid movable between an open position and a closed position, the dispensing part is rotatable relative to the base between a locked position in which the lid is held in the closed position and an unlocked position in which the lid can be moved to the open position.
- the dispensing part and base may include co-operating formations for holding the lid in the closed position.
- the dispensing closure may include a spout to facilitate product flow therefrom.
- the dispensing part may include a flow regulation member to improve and/or restrict the flow of product therethrough.
- the dispensing part may comprise a main body to which the lid is hingedly connected.
- the base may include tamper-evident means.
- the means may comprise a band which presents removal of the base from a container in use.
- the dispensing part may include tamper-evident means.
- the means may comprise a band.
- the band may prevent the lid from moving to the open position.
- the present invention also provides a container having a closure as described herein.
- FIG. 1 there is shown a dispensing closure generally indicated 10 attached to a container generally indicated 20, which in this embodiment is a container for motor vehicle oil.
- the closure 10 comprises a dispensing part 30 and a base 40.
- the base 40 comprises a generally cylindrical side skirt 45. From one end of the skirt 45 an annular tamper-evident band 50 is frangibly connected.
- the band 50 is of a known construction and operation and will not be described in detail.
- a radially inwardly extending flange 55 projects towards the end of the skirt with the band 50.
- the flange 55 comprises a generally upturned L-shape first step 60 which extends from the side wall 45 and a generally upturned L-shape second step 65 which extends from the first step 60.
- a locking projection 70 is upstanding.
- the projection 70 comprises an upstanding wall 75 which is co-linear with the skirt 45, and a radially inwardly projecting bead 80.
- the part 30 comprises a generally cylindrical main body part 85 and a lid 90.
- the lid 90 is connected to the body 85 by a hinge 95 so as to be moveable from the closed position shown in Figures 4 to 6 to an open position (best shown in Figure 10 ).
- the lid 90 comprises a generally circular top plate 100 from which depends a sealing cylinder 105.
- the side wall 110 extends around the majority of the periphery of the top plate 100, except for the region opposite the hinge 95; this unwalled region produces an overhang 115 at the front of the lid 90.
- the overhang 115 comprises a truncated side wall 116.
- An annular tamper-evident band 150 extends around the periphery of the base side wall 140 and terminates either side of the hinge 95.
- One end of the band 150 comprises a pull tab 151.
- the band 150 is connected to the body 85 via a plurality of mutually spaced frangible bridges 155 which connect at the intersection between the flange 135 and the side wall 140.
- the band 155 has two diametrically opposed cut-outs 160 which are shaped and positioned to extend over the lid lugs 145, 146 with the lid in a closed position as shown best in Figures 4 , 6 and 7 . Accordingly, the band 150 prevents the lid from being moved away from the closed position.
- the body 85 comprises a feed cylinder 120 having a retaining bead 125 towards one end thereof.
- the other end of the feed cylinder 120 is flared to form a spout 130 and includes an annular flange 135.
- the hinge 95 is connected between the lid side wall 110 and the base flange 135.
- a generally frusto conical flow regulator 121 Extending within the feed cylinder 120 is a generally frusto conical flow regulator 121.
- the regulator 121 terminates at its end opposite the bead 125 with a top plate 122 from which depend a plurality of spokes 123 defining openings.
- the dispensing part 30 is assembled onto the base 40 from above so that the bead 125 engages below the second step 65 and the side wall 140 rests on the first step 60.
- the dispensing part 30 is axially restrained but freely rotatable.
- the base 40 can then be screwed on to a container neck 165 by virtue of internal screw threads 170 which engage co-operating external screw threads 175 on the container neck 165.
- the tamper-evident band 50 on the base 40 engages the container neck 165 so that the base 40 cannot be unscrewed from the container without breaking frangible bridges so that the band 50 remains connected to the container.
- the tamper-evident band 150 In order to use the closure 10, the tamper-evident band 150 must first be removed. Thereafter, the lid 100 can be lifted from the position shown in Figure 8 to the position shown in Figure 10 .
- Product can now be dispensed through the dispensing part 30.
- Product passes through the flow regulator 121 and over the spout 130. This configuration has been found to provide a smooth product pour and reduce "glugging".
- the lid can be returned to the closed position.
- the clip 117 again engages the spout 130 to hold the lid firmly in position. In this configuration the lid could now be returned to the open position.
- the dispensing part 30 can be rotated relative to the base 40 to the position shown in Figures 11 and 12 . In this position, one of the lugs (in this case 145) has been moved to lie beneath the projection 80 on the base 40. This means that the lid can no longer be lifted to the open position.
- the dispensing part can be rotated relative to the base to a position in which neither of the lugs 145, 146 is beneath the projection 80.
