Definitions

  • This invention relates to a closure for a container, in particular a closure for a beverage or other foodstuff (although the closure can be used on other types of container).
  • closures for beverage containers are known.
  • cap-on-collar closures as described in WO2006/000774 and WO2007/091068 and one-piece twist-off closures as described in WO2007/057659 .
  • seal members such as compression gaskets, for providing a seal between the closure and the container.
  • WO2006/131121 discloses a variety of other forms of closures for containers which incorporate an o-ring.
  • FR2646831 discloses a closure having a compressible gasket which engages a rim of a container.
  • Document BE509694 discloses a closure for closing a container having a substantially circular opening defining an axis, wherein the closure comprises a relatively rigid bore member which, when the closure is secured to the container, extends through said opening into the interior of the container, and having an o-ring sealing member comprising a toroid formed of a resilient elastomer material mounted or mountable in a groove on an outer surface of the bore member, so as to provide a seal with a sealing surface extending around an internal surface of the container when the closure is secured to the container, the closure being securable to the container by rotation about said axis, said rotation drawing the bore member further into the container so the o-ring sealing member provides a seal between the bore member and said sealing surface.
  • the side wall is on the inner side of the o-ring and for a container in which the internal pressure is elevated, the side wall is on the external side of the o-ring. If a side wall is provide on both sides of the o-ring, it can provide a sealing function in both circumstances.
  • the invention is particularly applicable to widemouth closures (eg with a diameter of 50 to 80 mm) as the larger the opening the more difficult it is to provide an effective and reliable seal between the closure and the container whilst ensuring the closure is still relatively easy to remove.
  • the invention is also applicable to narrower openings, eg of a bottle such as those having a 28 mm diameter opening.
  • the cap 2 is drawn axially downwards towards an upper surface 1C of the lip 1A. It may engage this upper surface 1C when in the closed position or, as shown (in an exaggerated form) in Fig 1 , may be spaced therefrom to reduce the risk of becoming adhered thereto over time. If it is spaced therefrom, the spacing is preferably relatively small, eg less than 0.5 mm so as to minimise the scope for vertical movement of the closure relative to the container body when in the sealed position.
  • the groove 4A within the bore member 4 is three-sided and, together with said internal surface 1B of the container body, defines a four-sided enclosure for constraining the cross-section of the o-ring 5.
  • the side walls of the groove 4A are preferably substantially perpendicular to the sealing surface 1B.
  • the enclosure only needs to be 3-sided, ie two sided (eg L-shaped or V-shaped groove) together with the sealing surface of the container.
  • a separate bore member 4 may be mounted to the underside of the cap 2 in a variety of ways, eg by being adhered or welded thereto or by simply being clipped therein (as shown in Fig 1 ).
  • the engaging portions of the cap and bore feature are preferably provided at localised areas around the circumference to reduce the frictional engagement therebetween (the benefit of which is discussed below).
  • the cross-section shown in Fig 1 is through one of these locations.
  • Figure 2 shows a closure which is similar to that of Figure 1 (with corresponding parts having reference numbers increased by 10) except that the bore member 14 is integrally formed with the cap 12 and the upper portion 12A of the cap has an annular form (rather than being circular and extending across the container opening). In this case, it is just the bore member 14 that extends across and closes the container opening.
  • this groove 24A comprises an upper face and a rear face and these faces, together with the cylindrical face 21 B of the container body, constrain the cross-section of said part 25A, at least when subject to an elevated pressure within the container 21 (NB this embodiment would not be suitable to for use in applications in which the pressure in the container is reduced, ie in a vacuum pack, as the groove does not have a lower face to constrain said part against movement into the container).
  • Figure 4 shows an embodiment in which the closure is secured directly to the container, eg by means of a thread on the exterior of the container, ie without the need for a collar.
  • This embodiment also employ an o-ring to provide a seal between the closure and the container and many features correspond to those described above (and are given similar reference numbers but increased by 30 or 40).
  • Figures 4A and 4B show a fourth embodiment with a one piece closure that is rotatably secured to the container by means of a threaded engagement therebetween.
  • the closure comprises a cap 32 with a circular portion 32A that closes the mouth of the container 31 and a skirt portion 32B.
  • the skirt portion 32B has thread features 32C at spaced apart positions around its circumference which engage with thread features 31A spaced around the exterior of the container lip 31B.
  • the circular portion 32A is part of a bore member 34 that extends into the container 31 and an o-ring seal 35 is provided in a groove in the exterior of the bore member 34.
  • the o-ring seal 35 engages a sealing surface 31C around the inner circumference of the container 31.
  • the cap 32 shown in Figure 4 may be made from metal and the thread features 32C thereof formed by a pressing operation.
  • the thread form is preferably a multi-start thread form, in this case an eight-start thread form that requires a rotation of only about 45 degrees to fasten or release the closure.
  • the side walls of the groove housing the o-ring are substantially perpendicular to the sealing surface of the container.
  • An o-ring has an inner and outer diameter and a cross-sectional diameter CS (which is the difference between the inner and outer diameters).
  • the outer diameter is determined by the diameter of the container opening (and is typically slightly greater than the diameter of the container opening).
  • the cross-sectional diameter CS will depend upon the application but for containers having a diameter in the range 50 - 80 mm will preferably be in the range of 2.0-3.0 mm. For narrower mouth containers, eg with a 28 mm diameter opening, CS will preferably be in the range 1.0-2.0 mm. It should be noted that CS refers to the cross-section of the uncompressed o-ring when mounted in the groove. If the ring is stretched when located in the groove this cross-section will be smaller than the cross-section in an unstretched condition.
  • O-rings are typically formed of elastomers.
  • Elastomers may be synthetic or natural resilient materials with sufficient memory to return to their original shape after a major or minor distortion. The resilience is what enables an o-ring to provide a seal and the parameters of the seal and the gland are selected to make effective use of this.
  • the opposing surfaces 71B and 74B of the gland are sealing surface and their spacing H is less than the o-ring cross-section CS so the o-ring is compressed as shown resulting in sealing forces between the o-ring and each of the surfaces 71 B and 74B.
  • the opposing surfaces 74A and 74C are containing surfaces and the distance W between them is equal to or larger than the diameter CS of the o-ring. The primary function of these surfaces is to keep the o-ring in place.
  • Compression ratio compression squeeze / CS ⁇ 100
  • the compression ratio should be in the range 5% to 35% and preferably in the range 20% to 25%.
  • the gap G should be significantly smaller than the cross-section CS of the o-ring, eg no greater than 20% of CS and preferably no greater than 10% of GS. In most cases, the gap G is very small, eg 0.5mm or less and preferably 0.25mm or less. However, in some cases, the gap may be slightly larger due to manufacturing tolerances in the formation of the container and the bore member of the closure, or due to specific designs, such as food applications, whether it may be desirable for the o-ring to be allowed to extrude partially into the gap.
  • gland fill Another important parameter of an o-ring seal is gland fill. This is the percentage of the gland that is occupied by the o-ring.
  • the cross-section area (CSA) of a circular o-ring is pi x (CS/2) 2 and the gland cross-sectional area (CSA) is H x W.
  • CSA gland cross-sectional area
  • an o-ring is very different to that of known beverage container seals such as a sealing gasket which is trapped between two flat surfaces, a seal with one or more flexible sealing fins or a wedge seal trapped in a tapering gap between a plug member and a container bore.
  • the principal sealing surfaces of an o-ring are the opposing surfaces 71B and 74B between which the o-ring is compressed and the engagement of the o-ring therewith.
