Definitions

  • the present invention relates to receptacles and more particularly to collapsible tubes adapted to receive viscous materials such as tooth paste and the like.
  • the main object of the invention is to provide a closure for collapsible tubes in which these objections are obviated.
  • the closure comprises a rotatable member 1nounted permanently on the neck of the tube having a slide covering the aperture in the flat top surface of the receptacle, the said aperture being out of the centre in such a manner that by turning the rotatable 'member the aperture is opened or closed.
  • the delivery aperture is closed by means of a small plate spring-pressed against the top surface and mounted on. a ring which is rotatably guided on the neck of the tube. On turning the ring about the neck of the tube the spring-pressed closing plate is correspondingly moved and exposes the delivery aperture.
  • the springy connecting member between the guide-ring and the closing plate serves also as'a hand-grip for turning the small late and thus for opening-and closing the tu e.
  • Fig. 1 is the upper end of a tube in perspective
  • Fig. 2 shows the cap of a tube in axial section on the line A--B of Fig. 3.
  • Fig; 3 is a plan of Fig. 2.
  • the numeral 1 designates the body portion of a collapsible tube which,
  • the-closure device, 2, constitut-' mg my invention is adaptable to an other appropriate form of receptacle wherein plastic, viscous, powdered, or other materials are contained.
  • the tube 1 is provided with a top 2 having a cylindrical neck 3.
  • The'top 3 is closed by a circular top surface 4.
  • Onto the top surface 4 is pressed a small plate 5 of steel which lies over the discharge aperture 6 of the tube 1 when in closing position.
  • the aperture is positioned displaced from the centre of the top surface 4.
  • the small plate 5 is joined by means of a springy connection 7 to an open springy ring 8 which is slidably guided in and makes a good fit with a groove 9 in the neck 3.
  • a raised portion 10 is provided which serves as a stop for the small plate 5 in the closed and open positions.
  • the small plate 5, the connection 7 and the ring 8, w hose end-pieces embrace the neck 3 in spring-like manner, are bent out of thin springy sheet steel.
  • the connection 7 is so bent that it acts as a. spring andpresses the small plate 5 tightly against the top surface, whence a good sealing-ofi' of the tube is obtained.
  • the ring 8 encompasses. the neck 3 and that the means just described areadapted to maintain the parts in proper operative relation, the connection between the two members being such' as to permit easy rotation of one member relatively to the other.
  • the closure in its entirety, may be conveniently and readily manipulated by the user with the same hand as that in which the body portion is held. it is unnecessary to remove any portion when it is desired to effect a discharge of the con-.
  • closure means for the aperture comprising a split resilient ring rotatable in the groove in the cylindrical neck, a bent spring arm integral with said ring and a closure plate integral with the arm and yieldingly pressed by the latter into contact with the upper face of the fiat top plate.
