My invention relates to receptacles su'c h rip-strip cans.
The principal general'obiect Yof my present invention is to provide receptacles oft'he char- .lracter mentionedabove, adapted to, receive original packages or'bottles, and which maybe easily closed after the packages or bottles have been: inserted therein, in suchinanrier as. to prevent unauthorized tampering with" the contents: or
loaccess thereto unlessand untilthe closure has been ruptured lorloose'neid, in such" manner that it cannot be replaced to close the receptacle with f out clearly. indicating that it has "beiijonce opened. To the accomplishment ofthisgener'alf l5. object, I provide a receptacle having a body with a bottom'firmly and permanently attached there' separable from the body to permit opening the said top for removal of. the contents of the ceptacle. p
All of the objects and adv'antages of them-f vention and theil details of.constructionwillbe' better understood and will be pointed outduring thecourse of the following'detailed description: 7 A n I h V I n the lower; end of the strip 12 and with the ex-' Fig. 1 is a perspective viewof the front and. top of a receptacle embodying my invention with the top in closed positionsealingithe contents;
of the accompanying drawing, in which Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the receptacle shown in Fig. 1 with the top open; I
Fig. 4 is a the top portion of the receptacle body top. is applied thereto;
before. the.
Fig. 5 is a fragmentary ,enlarge idiview ;similar to Fig.3; and q 7 n a Fig.. 6 is a fragmentary sectional view. taken on the line 6-6 of Fig. all.
Referring to the drawing, the numera .7 des-.
ignates the body of the receptacle, preferably acan, which is illustrated, as being substantially ovel-shaped, conforming in; inner dimensions stantially to the outer dimensions oftheave ge 'to which the top is permanently attached being,
Fig. 3 is a sectionalview on thelline 3 35i fragmentary perspective of the label on the package or on the bottle, so that the purchaser may see the original label and be sure that heis obtaining the proper brand of merchandise. The bottom of the receptacle has applied thereto, a-closure 9 securely attached to the body in anyknownmanner, such as, by seamingor soldering, so that the closure may not be readily removed and replaced.
v Referring now to; Fig. 4,,it will be seen that the rear wall of thereceptacle body has an exten s ion lo projecting upwardly beyond the top edge of thebody, and on the front wall there is a similar projecting end 11 forming a part of a portion or strip 12, which strip preferably forms apart of the receptacle body. The wall on which strip 12 is provided is scored along spaced lines 13, so that the, strip 12 is removable from the body proper by pulling the same upwardly or outwardly therefrom. The lower end 11 of the strip12extends down over the opening 8 in the initial stage of forming the receptacle, so that it may be coiled about a ring, loop, or the like 14 (Fig 1) providing a handle to be grasped when Q pulling the-strip upwardly'or outwardly to tear it fromthebody proper.
The can body in the form above described, that is; with the bottom closure securely attached, the scOrings-I? provided, the ring 14 attached to tensions lqandll projecting upwardly is ready to; receive the. contents, and, therefore, may be shipped to thepacker in this condition for application of the top. closure. w
'Thesaid topiclosure when applied comprises. ahottom or center'1 5'having its marginal portions bent to form anupwardly extending annular fiangellfiwhichengages the inner surface of the alls of the body'l. The said flange is bent over. the top of the bodyat 18and then downwardly on th exterior ofthebody at 19 and upwardly are pretending of the top is accomplished on knownf seaming apparatus, .and during the bending the projections 10 and ,llas shown in Figs ii andj, are bent or seamed, in between the upstanding flange 16, depending flange 19, and. upwardly bent end, 20, the numeral 21 desigtheend lof the' extensions 10 and 11, which larefjbenit [oi/er. and downwardly between the per 551. and 20 of theitop. However, it is only at thefopposite; sides of the. receptacle that the top and body are firmly seamed together by interlocking the extensions 10 and 11 which form only portions of the body '7. Those portions of the top edge located between the extensions 10 and 11 are seated in the groove between the end 20 and portion 19 of the depending flange of the top, as indicated at 22 in Fig. 6, and may be readily separated from the closure.
From the foregoing it should be apparent that the packer inserts the bottle or package in the can body 7 and seams the top thereon in the manner just described, so that the receptacle with the contents therein appear as shown in Fig. 1, so that it is impossible to remove the contents or to tamper therewith without separating the strip 12 from the can body to afford opening as shown in Fig. 2, or by cutting the receptacle or closures. Due to the fact that the top is securely attached to the can body by seaming the extension 10 to the top and by seaming the extension 11 of the strip 12 also to the top at opposite sides of the receptacle with the intermediate portions of the top and receptacle readily separable but in closed relation and held in such relation by the said interlocking seams at opposite sides of the body, the top may be easily opened by pulling strip 12 outwardly or upwardly to cause it to part from the can body along the lines 13. The strip being permanently attached to the top and detachably secured to the can body, when it is separated from the body the top may be swung open on extension 10 by pulling on the strip or loop 14.
Once the strip has been ripped or torn loose from the can body it is not possible to reattach it without clearly indicating that the receptacle has been tampered with, so that the purchaser is assured of genuine undiluted merchandise and yet is able to open the receptacle with facility without the use of cutting tools or implements.
The use of packing material between the bottles or packages and the receptacle on the interior thereof is optional with the packer, and in Fig. 3 I have shown a packing material 23 between the bottle and the side walls of the receptacle. This forms no part of the invention and the use of the packing material is optional, and obviously may be used not only around the sides of the receptacle but also between the top and bottom of the receptacle and the bottom and top of the bottle.
I claim:
1. A rip-strip receptacle, comprising a body having an opening in a wall thereof and closures for the ends of the body, said body having a pair of spaced weakened portions providing between them a rip-strip extending from an edge of said opening to one of said closures, said one closure being permanently attached to said strip and a portion of the body for the purpose specifled.
