Definitions
- the present invention relates to a closure assembly that provides for sanitary dispensing of a liquid from a container.
- Sterile solutions are useful for certain medicinal and ophthalmic applications in which it is desirable to expel a portion of the sterile solution from a multi-dose container for treatment purposes while maintaining the integrity of the remaining sterile solution.
- it is necessary either to provide a bacteriostatic agent in the solution itself or to remove microorganisms and other contaminants from the flow of replacement air into the container.
- the fluid dispensing path minimize the intrusion of contaminations into the container after dispensing a portion of the sterile solution.
- US patent 5,588,546 discloses a closure with a stay-open lid, wherein the stay-open feature is attained in part by the use of a nib on the lid of the closure which engages a void on the base of the closure. A frictional fit between the nib and the sides of the void keep the lid up until the user chooses to close the lid on top of the base.
- FIGS 1A, 1B, 1C, 1D, and 1E are views of a prior art closure assembly 10 that is used to dispense commercial contact lens solutions.
- the prior art closure 10 includes a lid 12 attached to the cap 14 by strap 16.
- the strap 16 is formed by separate ribbons 18 and 19.
- the lid 12 is displaced from the dispensing outlet by exerting upward pressure on area 22 of the lid. Essentially, one lifts the lid 12 off the cap 14 with their fingers and thumb by grapping underneath area 22 and pulling upward. Upon opening the lid 12 will extend a distance from the displacement outlet.
- closure assembly that provides for easy removal of a lid from a dispensing cap, and one that is designed to reduce inadvertent contact between the fingers or thumb of a user and the outlet or lid of the container.
- the invention is directed to a closure assembly for a container according to claim 1.
- the invention is directed to a closure assembly for a container.
- the closure assembly comprises a cap having a dispensing outlet.
- the closure includes a lid that sealingly engages the dispensing outlet in a closed position and is spaced a distance from the dispensing outlet in an open position.
- the closure assembly also includes a tab extending from a bottom portion of the lid and having an upper surface of sufficient dimension to engage a finger or thumb such that downward pressure on the upper surface of the tab with the finger or thumb transmits an upward force to the lid to disengage the lid from the closed position.
- the closure assembly also includes a strap that connects the tab to the cap and is of sufficient dimension and stiffness to displace the lid from the dispensing outlet in the open position.
- the lid, the tab, the strap and the cap are integrally formed, e.g., by injecting molding of an appropriate plastic material.
- the strap, tab and lid as integrally formed, which is then positioned about the dispensing outlet area much like the cap of a water bottle.
- FIGS 2A, 2B, and 2C are side and top end views of a closure assembly 30 in accordance with one embodiment.
- Figures 2D and 2E are perspective views of the same closure assembly 30.
- the closure assembly 60 depicted in Figures 4A to 4C includes a cap 32, a lid 34 and an integral interconnecting strap 44.
- the cap 32 includes internal features such as threads, detents, annular ribs or ridges for engaging a correspondingly configured neck of a container (not shown).
- the peripheral surface of the cap 32 is shown with a knurled edge 76.
- the cap 60 includes a dispensing outlet 62. See, Figures 4A and 4B .
- the dispensing outlet 62 can have any of a variety of configurations, a suitable exemplary embodiment has a generally nozzle shape with an outer or exposed shoulder 74 and protruding lip 75.
- the dispensing outlet 62 lies on a longitudinal axis LA.
- the longitudinal axis LA is collinear with a longitudinal axis of the container.
- the lid 34 is configured to releasably and sealingly engage the cap 32 to preclude fluid flow through the dispensing outlet 62 when the lid is in a closed position.
- the lid 34 is provided with an annular bead that fastens beneath lip 75 and onto shoulder 74 for a liquid tight fit of the lid.
- the lid 34 is provided with an integral tab 36.
- the tab 36 projects radially away from the lid 34.
- the tab 36 defines a contact area 38 for engaging a finger or thumb of a user.
- the tab 36 is sized to space the contact area 38 from the engagement of the lid 34 and the cap 32, by a sufficient distance to allow the tab 36 to function as a lever.
- the tab 36 which functions as a lever, is relatively inflexible with respect to the strap 44. That is, the tab 36 transmits torque or force to the lid 34, rather than flexing or bending to absorb an applied force.
- the tab 36 can include stiffening features such as ribs or struts.
- the portions of the tab 36 can be formed with an increased thickness, thereby increasing the rigidity of the tab. Essentially, the tab 36 transmits sufficient torque to remove lid 34 from the dispensing outlet 62 with little or no flexing of the tab.
- the contact area 38 can include any of a variety of surface features or indicia. As seen in Figures 3B, 3D and 3E , the contact area 38 includes a plurality of ridges. The ridges can be parallel or intersecting. Further, the ridges can be curvilinear, faceted or straight. It is also noted that the contact area 38 can include indicia to direct the user on how to operate the closure assembly. The indicia can be either words, symbols, or a combination thereof. See, Figure 2B .
- the contact area 38 of the tab 36 is spaced from the longitudinal axis LA of the dispensing outlet 62 by a distance that is at least substantially equal to one half the cap diameter (or equal to the cap radius).
- the contact area of the tab 36 has a radial dimension of approximately 1 to 1.5x the radial dimension of the cap.
- the contact area 38 of the tab 36 is radially intermediate the periphery of the cap 32 and a periphery of the container.
- the contact area 38 is spaced from the longitudinal axis LA to allow the application of force on the tab 36 at approximately the radius of the cap 32.
- the tab 36 is sized to locate at least a portion of the contact area 38 beyond the radius of the cap 32 yet within the footprint of the container.
- the strap 44 integrally interconnects the tab 36 to the cap 32 and thus provides for displacement of the lid 34 between a closed position, i.e., sealing the dispensing outlet 62, and an open, operable position of the lid distanced from the dispensing outlet and permitting free unobstructed flow of the liquid from the dispensing outlet, i.e., the container.
- the strap 44 extends from the lid 34 to the cap 32.
- the transition from the cap 32 to the strap 44 is located at a lower or bottom portion of the cap 32, thereby maximizing the distance along the longitudal axis LA between connection of the strap to the lid and the connection of the strap to the cap.
- the lid 34 will be held away from the dispensing outlet 62 by the strap 44.
- the strap 44 can be formed of separate ribbon elements 46 and 48. Alternatively, the strap 44 can be formed of a single ribbon. The strap 44 formed of separate ribbons 46 and 48 can effectively provide greater support to the lid 34.
- the strap 44 is configured such that the lid 34 does not twist when being brought back onto the dispensing outlet 62. Accordingly, the strap 44 presents the lid 34 to the dispensing outlet 62 in substantially collinear alignment.
- Figure 4A is a top view of an alternate closure assembly 60.
- Figure 4B is a cross-sectional view of the closure 60.
- Figure 4C is a side view of the closure assembly 60 in a closed position.
- the closure 60 is shown in an after molded configuration showing a one piece closure assembly.
- the cap 32 is designed for a press fit onto a container, or alternatively, it is well within the skill of the art to utilize a screw fitting.
- the closure assembly is adapted to be applied to a container.
- the container can include an annular bead that engages shoulders 66, 68 and 70 of the closure assembly to seal the closure assembly to the container.
- the cap 32 is shown to have a generally circular periphery defined by a cap diameter.
- the tab 36 is thicker than the strap 44.
- the tab 36 may have a higher resistance to bending than the strap 44 such that the resistance is sufficient to allow pushing down on the tab 36 to loosen the lid 34.
- the tab 36 can subtend a larger angle to exhibit greater resistance to bending with respect to a strap 44 of the same thickness.
- the tab 36 can be provided with ribs in order to increase its beam strength such that the tab 36 sufficiently resists bending to disengage the lid 34, in response to a downward force on the contact area 38.
- Figures 5A and 5B are views of a closure assembly 80.
- the tab 36 projects at a generally right angle to the strap 44.
- the tab 36 can be pushed up or down to open the lid 34 (move the lid from the closed position to the open position). Even if pushed up, the thumb or finger of the user would not tend to be drawn toward the dispensing outlet 62 as the lid movement would be to the side. If the tab 36 were pressed down to open, the finger is not lead toward to the dispensing outlet 62.
- the tab 36 when separated, or spaced, from the strap 44, as in Figure 5A can be in any location that does not tend to lead the finger toward the dispensing outlet 62 when opening the closure assembly.
- a location less than 120° from the attachment point with the strap 44 is suitable.
- a preferred location is 75° to 90° from the center of the area of attachment of the strap 44 to the lid 34.
- the tab 36, when offset from the strap attachment point can contain words such as "push" or other indicia to indicate that downward motion is preferred to open the lid 34.
- closure assembly in is combination with plastic squeeze containers that are used to hold ophthalmic compositions such as eye drops or contact lens cleaning solutions.
- ophthalmic compositions such as eye drops or contact lens cleaning solutions.
- the consumer could both hold and open the present closure with one hand.
- Other suitable use is with medical solutions and other ophthalmic solutions.
- Figure 6 illustrates a closure assembly 90 with a different attachment point for the strap 44 onto the tab 36.
- the strap 44 extends from the underside of the tab 36 rather than as a continuation of the tab.
- This embodiment will provide additional bending resistance to the tab 36 as the tab is made is thicker at the point 92 of strap attachment to the tab.
- This embodiment also provides a more acute curve in the strap 44 which causes the lid 34 to spring further from the dispensing outlet 62 when the lid 34 is opened.
- Any suitable material can be utilized in the formation of the closure assembly. Typical of such materials are polystyrene and other olefin polymers.
- a preferred material has been found to be a low-density polyethylene as it is low in cost, easy to mold and provides good flexibility properties for use in the ribbon while also providing the strength needed for the tab.
- the present closure assembly facilitates one-handed operation in a manner where the finger opening the closure assembly is not led towards an orifice or outlet where sanitary material is expelled.
- the cap and the lid are integral with the strap to form the closure assembly thereby providing low cost of manufacture. Further, the operation of the opening of the lid is simple and intuitive to the user.
