UNITED STATES PATENT l'0I-EIGEN ANDREW s. wlrwns.,
OF JOLIET, ILLINOIS.
' BEGEPTACLE CLOSUBE.
application med July as To all^whom t may concern.'
Be it known that I, ANDREW S. WITWER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Joliet, in the county of Will and State of Illinois, have invented a` new and useful Improvement in Receptacle Closures, of which the following vis a specification.
My invention relates generally to receptacle closures, but more particularly to closures for paste tubes; and my object is to provide a novel, simple, and inexpensive form ofV such construction, and to provide efor the issuing 4of the contents of the tube, when such contents are tooth paste, in a ribbon of a very desirable cross section. L Referring to the accompanying drawings Figure 1 is a plan view of the closure por tion of, a paste tube constructed in accordance with my invention, the rotatory cap portion thereof being removed, and the pin carried by the cap being shown in section.l Figure 2'is a plan view of a slide forming a part'of the closure. Figure 3 is a plan yview of the4 upper end of the tube with theslide removed. Fi re 4 is a view. like Fig. 1 showing the 's 'de in open position. Figure .y 5 is a plan view of the' closure construction showing the cap Aportion thereof by full lines in theJ position it occupies when the closure isopen, and bydotted lines the position it occupies when the closure is in closing position. Figure 6 is 'an enlarged'section taken at the line 6 on Fig. 1, and viewed in the direction of the arrow, of the completed closure structure, showing it in closed position; and Figure 7 a similar view showmg l the closure in position to permit the contents of the receptacle to pass therethrough.
Ihave illustrated Ymy invention 1n com nectio'n with a flexible, collapsible, tube, asv` for example for tooth paste, the receptacle-y f .forming portion thereof being represented at 8 and provided at its upper end with an `end piece 9 presenting an annular shoulder 10 surrounding the wall of the receptacle 8; The end piece 9 contains an aperture 11 of a shape presentingv a substantlally straight wall 12 shownas coincident with the center 'of the end piece l9 .and an arc-shaped wall extending from one end to the other of. said straight `wall. The outer face of the end Y piece 9 containsa recess 13 withinthe bonn;-y
daries of .which the opening 11 is located,
this recess `yktlieseitin the parallel guide walls 14. v1n the recess 13 to be 1925. semina. 45,53?.
occupies the position shown in Fig. 1 the apertures 11 and 16 will be out of registration, as shown in Fig. 1, and when removed to the left in Fig. 4 to the position therein shownthese apertures will be in registration. The closure also comprises a cap portion 17 which extends across the end piece 9 and is rotatable thereon, the cap being prevented from separating from the end piece by pro- `viding an inwardly extending liange 18 which underlaps the shoulder 10 of the end piece. The cap 17 contains an aperture 19 of the saine shape and size as the apertures 11 and 16 and so located as to register with the aperture 11 when the cap' is rotated to a certain position.
The slide 15 and cap 17 are provided with means whereby rotation of the cap in one direction shifts the slide to the left and rotation in the opposite direction shifts the slide to the right, a preferred embodiment of these means comprisin a camming slot 20 inthe upper surface o the slide 15 and a pin 21 dependin from the cap 17 and extending' into the s ot 20. The various parts `the-aperture 11, in which position the outlet of the receptacle is closed; and when the cap 17 is rotated to a position in which the vpin 21 is at the opposite end of the slot" 20'the apertures 11, 16 and 19 will be in registration as shown in Fig. 7, the strai ht walls 'of theseV various apertures being .1n alignmentin such position and affording an outlet for the receptacle of a shape corresponding generally to a segment of a circle. A closure constructed asshown and described, is not only of simple and economical construction, but operates /verly effectually as a mov able closure, es ecial y for use withvpastes. Furthermore, t e provision of the outlet of the receptacle of the shape shown and described, 1s of advantage especially where the closure is used in connection'` with a tooth paste tube.
while I have amaretti ind described a' .particular construction embodyingmy in.-
vention, I donot wishto be understood as intending to limit it thereto, as the same may be variousl modified and altered without departing rom the spirit. of my invention.
What IV claim. as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is: 4
1.` A closure device for a receptacle, comprising an end piece on the `rece tacle containing an aperture, a slide on sai end piece and containing an a erture positioned to register with the aper ure in said end piece when said slide is 1n one position, an apertured rotatory member on said end piece, and
means for imparting rectilinear movement to said slide by rotating'said member.
2. A closure device for a receptacle, comprising an end piece on the rece tacle containing an aperture, a slide on sai end piece and containing an aperture positioned to register with the aperture in said end piece when said slide is in one posit-ion, an aper,
tured rotatory member on said end piece and interlocked with the latter to prevent separation therefrom, and means for imparting rectilinear movement to said slide by rota-t-u ing said member.
3. A closure device for a receptacle, comprising an end piece on the receptacle containing an aperture of a shape presenting a substantially straight Wall and an arc-shaped Wall extending from one end to the other of said straight Wall, a slide on said end piece and containing an aperture positioned to register with the aperture in said end piece when said slide is in one position, an apertured rotatory member on said end plece,`
and means forimating rectilinear movement to said slide y rotating said member.
4. A closure device for a receptacle comprising an'end piece on the receptacle conc taining an aperture' of a shape presenting a. substantially -straight Wally andl an arcshaped wall extending from one end. to the other of said straight wall, a slide on said end piece and containing a similarly shaped aperture positioned to register with the aperture in said end piece' when saidvslide is in one position, an apert-ured rotator member on said en d piece, and means for lmparting rectilinear movement to said slide by rotating said member.
5*. A closure device for a receptacle, com-- prising an end piece on the receptacle con-l taining an aperture and a slide-receiving guide-recess, a slide in said recess and containin an aperture positioned to register `With t a aperture in said end piece whe `said slide is in one position, an aperturd rotatory member ony said end piece, and
means for imparting 4rectilinear movement L'to said slide by rottatlng said member.
6. A closure device for a receptacle, comprising an-end lpiece on the receptacle containing` an aperture,v'with its outer face recessed and forming a guide, a slide in said `recess and containing an aperture positioned to register with the aperture .in said end piece when saidgslide is' in one position, said slide containing a camming groove, a cap rotatable on. said end piece and interldcked with the latter to prevent separation therefrom, and a. pin on said cap extending into said -camming groove. for imparting rectilinear movement to said slide when said cap is rotated, said ca containingan aperture which registers 'with lthe aperture 1n said end piece when the aperture in said slide registers with thel latter.
