Definitions
- the present invention seeks to provide increased flexibility in product design whilst retaining functionality and efficiency of manufacture.
- a dispensing closure having a top cap comprising a base and a lid attached or attachable to the base, the base is connectable to a container, the closure further comprising a shroud member with which the top cap can be docked to determine at least in part of the profile of the closure.
- the top cap may be formed as a single piece.
- the cap may consist of a base integrally formed with a lid.
- the shroud member may include a curved container interface line and a top cap interface line, the lines being substantially parallel to each other.
- a dispensing closure top cap for a closure comprising a base attachable to a container and a lid attached or attachable to the base, the top cap being receivable by a shroud member which, in use, determines, at least in part the profile of a closure.
- Different aspects of the invention may be used separately or together.
- Figure 5 is a front elevation of the closure of Figure 1 ;
- Figure 6 is a perspective view of the closure of Figure 1 ;
- Figure 7 is a perspective view of the closure of Figure 6 with a top cap shown in an open position;
- Figure 9 is a perspective view of the shroud member of Figure 8.
- Figure 13 is a rear perspective view of the illustration of Figure 12;
- Figure 14 is a section of the closure of Figure 6;
- Figure 15 is a section of the closure of Figure 7;
- Figure 16 is a section of the top cap of Figure 10 and 1 1 shown fitted to a container in the absence of the shroud member;
- Figure 17 is a section of a closure formed according to an alternative embodiment.
- FIG. 1 there is shown a dispense closure generally indicated 10 and shown connected to a container 20.
- the base comprises a generally arch-shape top deck 50 in which is formed a dispensing spout 55 surrounded by a channel 56.
- An annular outer skirt 60 depends from the deck 50 and includes a pair of diametrically opposed U-shape cut-outs 61 .
- the interior of the skirt 60 carries a retention bead 62 at its free end. The bead 62 does not extend across the cut-outs 61 .
- An annular inner skirt 65 depends from the top deck 50, radially inward of the outer skirt 60.
- the skirt bead 21 snap fits underneath the corresponding retention bead 22 provided on the neck 21 to hold the closure 10 firmly in position.
- the shroud 35 plays no role in retaining the closure of the container, merely resting in a channel 23 on the container neck shoulder 24.
- the closure is opened and closed by flipping the lid 45 with respect to the base 50.
- the hinge element 53 moves rearwardly in to the rebate 39.
- the lid 45 fits on to the base 40.
- the sealing skirt 71 fits around the spout 55 and in to the channel 56.
- the lid top plate 70 and consequently the side wall 72 are slightly larger than the base deck and consequently the free end of the side wall 72 fits around the periphery of the deck. Because in this embodiment the shroud member 35 does not carry any working components as such, its shape is not constrained by conventional manufacturing techniques. Furthermore, all of the parts which need to interact with each other when the closure is closed are on the same part, which gives better control. Profile matching can be more easily achieved because the shroud can match the contours of an associated container. For example, the curvature of the side wall 36 can easily be matched so as to continue a curve from the container 20 as shown in Figure 1 .
- closure is designed and adapted for use in household/laundry applications.
- Other embodiments may be adapted for different uses.
