Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an improved closure or sealing cap for bottles, ars, and the like enclosures.
  • the closure of the present invention comprises a cap having in one half periphery a depending inturned flange, the edge of which is in a plane substantially parallel with the top surface of the cap and in the other half periphery a tongue or tongues with an inturned hump above its lower edge, the inturned flange gripping under a corresponding flange on the neck of the jar whilst'the depending tongue lip or lips frictionally grips the flange of the jar.
  • the closure is preferably nicked or slotted from its lower edge towards its upper rim at points diametrically opposite to one another and limiting the ends of the fully under turned semicircular edge.
  • Figure 1 is a front elevation of one form of closure previous to its application to a jar.
  • Figure 2 is a corresponding side elevation.
  • Figure 3 is an underside plan view.
  • Figure 4 is a front elevation of a modification.
  • Figure 5 is a corresponding side view.
  • Figure 6 is a perspective view of a closure mounted on a jar.
  • Figure 7 is a corresponding partial sectional elevation of the closure on the jar.
  • Figure 8 is a side elevation of a modified form of closure mounted on the neck of a jar.
  • FIG 9 is a corresponding front view.
  • the closure comprises a fiat top metal cap 1 such as can be stamped from sheet metal having preferably a depressed central portion 2 thereby forming an internal recess 3 for the reception of an elastic rubber or the like a washer 4, which contacting with the upper surface of the rim 5 on a jar 6 or the like enables a hermetic seal to be obtained.
  • a fiat top metal cap 1 such as can be stamped from sheet metal having preferably a depressed central portion 2 thereby forming an internal recess 3 for the reception of an elastic rubber or the like a washer 4, which contacting with the upper surface of the rim 5 on a jar 6 or the like enables a hermetic seal to be obtained.
  • the cap 1 has around substantially one half of its periphery a depending edge or flange 7 the lower edge 8 of which is adapted to be turned under the lowerflanged edge of the rim 5 of the jar to lie ina plane substantially parallel to the plane of the top-of the cap.
  • the ends of this under-turned flange portion 7 are preferably curved away as shown at 9, to leave a shallow rim portion 10 which does not extend under the top rim of the ar.
  • a pair ofv tongues 11, 12 having an inturned hump, 19 forming a frictional grip engaging the rim 5 of the jar.
  • These tongues 11, 12 may be separated by a narrow slot 13,01 they may be in the form of v one tongue 14: connected with the under-- turned edge 8 by a sloping surface 15, as shown for instance in Figures 4:, 5 and 6.
  • the cap 1 is provided with an underturned flanged edge 8 as before, but this is'eX- tended as shown at 16 for a short distance, but as the sloping surface 15 is passing upwards to meet the tongue 14- a notch or cut 17 is provided between the parts 8 and 16 so that a virtually elastic spring hinge is formedacross the jar, as indicated in dotted lines 18.
  • the tongue 14 In use after the jar has been scaled, and it is desired to obtain access to the contents, the tongue 14 due to its frictional engagement with the flange on the jar, can be lifted away from the under-cut rim 5by the finger or by a blunt tool, such for instance, as the edge of a coin, when it will be found that the cap will hinge somewhat in two semicircular parts and the closure can be easily removed from the jar, whilst atthe same time permitting it to be snapped back on the jar in view of the elasticity of the parts toobt-ain the i8 and 9, the closure has a rim 8 extending under the flange 5 of the jar as previously, and is provided with a single humped tongue 24: on the opposite side and depending lip 20 for facilitating its removal.
  • the construction according to the present invention provides a cheap closure which will give a hermetic seal of-the jar and yet also provide means whereby the jar can be rescaled during use of the contents.
  • the closure of the present invention as will be seen, is directly applicable to the existing standard pattern of jam jars having a groove 23 at the neck. 1
  • a closure for receptacles comprising a pair of half caps united but elastically hinged together, a depending flange on one half cap, an inturned edge substantially parallel with thetop surface of the cap on said depending flange, and a hump tongue on the other half cap,
  • a closure for receptacles comprising a cap adapted for ficxure across a diameter, a depending flange on one half perpihery of said cap the edge of which is under-turned to lie in a plane substantially parallel to the top of the cap and a depending tongue alone on the other half periphery having an inturned hump above itslower edge.
  • a closure for receptacles comprising a cap adapted for flexure across a diameter, a
  • hooked flange on one half periphery of said cap adapted to engage over and under a flange on the neck of the receptacle and a frictionally engaging tongue on the'other half periphery engaging the flange on the receptacle.
  • a closure for receptacles comprising a cap adapted for fleXure across a diameter, a depending underturned flange on one half periphery of said cap'forming a positive lock and a snap *atch on the other half periphery forming a friction lock.

  • a closure for receptacles comprising a cap adapted for flexure across a diameter, a hooked flange on one half periphery of said cap terminating at the ends of said diameter and adapted to engage over and under a flange on the neck of the receptacle and a frictionally engaging tongue on the other half periphery engaging the flange on the receptacle.
  • a closure for receptacles comprising a cap adapted for fleXure acrossa diameter, a depending underturned flange on one half periphery of said cap tern'iinating at the ends of said diameter forming a positive lock and a snap catch on the other half peripheryforming a friction lock.
  • a closure for receptacles comprisingai cap, a run on said cap having up cut notches at substantially diametrically opposedipoints I and an operating upturned lip on the lower end of said tongue, the half peripheries-being bounded by up out notches in said rim which serve to weaken said capwhereby itis adapted for flexure across a diameter defined by said notches.
  • a closure for receptacles comprising a cap, a depending flange of uniform depthon one half periphery of said cap, an edge on said flange underturned to lie in aplane substantially parallel to the top :of the cap, a depending flange onthe other half-periphery of depth varying inversely as the peripheral distance from the ends of said flange of uniform depth to leave upcut notches :at the junctions of said flanges and a depending tongue located on" said flange of varying depth equidistantly fromsaid notches, said tongue having an inturned hump aboveits lower edge.
  • a closure for receptacles comprising a cap, a hooked flange on one half periphery of said cap adapted to engage over and under a flange on the neck of the receptacle, adepending flange on the other half periphery oi depth varying inversely as the peripheral distance from the ends of said hooked flange to leave upcut notches at the junctions of said flanges and a frictionally engaging tongue on said depending flange located equidistantly from said notches, said tongue being adapted to engage the flange on the receptacle.
