Abstract
An insert is positioned in an opening in a fluid container and between a closure member and the fluid container. The insert generally includes a funnel and an obstructive member disposed therewithin. The insert inhibits evaporative emissions from the fluid container by seating against a conical body portion of the funnel when the fluid container is in an upright or storage position. When the fluid container is in a tilted or use position, the obstructive member locates to an outlet end of the funnel to create a passage from an inlet end of the funnel to the outlet end.
Description
- The present invention relates generally to fluid dispensing bottles and, more particularly, to a self-sealing bottle cap insert.
- Fluid containers are commonly used for general-purpose storage and dispensing of fluid. Conventional fluid containers are often fitted with a cap having an open spout or a closeable spout, such as an articulating spout movable between an open and closed position.
- In manufacturing and testing facilities, improper fluid storage can present an environmental hazard. For example, the fluid contained in a container may emit vapors that escape into the environment. A cap with an open spout provides a passageway for such vapors to escape while the container is in an upright, storage position. A cap having a closeable spout left in an open position will also allow vapors to escape therethrough and into the environment.
- A fluid container that prevents vapors from escaping while in an upright or storage position without the need to close a spout and also allow fluid to pour through the spout when in a tilted or use position without the need to open a spout eliminates or reduces the hazard of escaping harmful vapors while providing a fluid container that is simple to use and seal. An insert according to the invention is positioned between a container opening and a closure member to automatically seal the container when in the storage or upright position. The insert includes a funnel and an obstructive member. The obstructive member and the funnel cooperate to selectively inhibit the emission of vapors from the container.
- In an exemplary embodiment, an insert is positioned between an opening in a container and a closure member releasably secured to the container. The insert includes a funnel having a conical body portion with an inlet end and an outlet end. The outlet end, which is positioned adjacent the closure member, has a larger diameter than the inlet end, which is disposed within the container. An obstructive member having a larger diameter than the inlet end is disposed within the funnel. The insert is operable such that the obstructive member seats against the conical body portion of the funnel when the container is in an upright position to inhibit the emission of vapors. When the container is inverted, the obstructive member relocates toward the outlet end of the funnel to create a passage from the inlet end to the outlet end of the insert.
- Further areas of applicability of the present invention will become apparent from the detailed description provided hereinafter. It should be understood however that the detailed description and specific examples, while indicating a preferred embodiment of the invention, are intended for purposes of illustration only, since various changes and modifications within the spirit and scope of the invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art from this detailed description.
- The present invention will become more fully understood from the detailed description and the accompanying drawings, wherein:
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a container including a cap insert according to the invention;.
- FIG. 2 is a partial exploded view of the container and cap insert of FIG. 1.
- FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken along line3-3 of FIG. 1 shown with the container in an upright or storage position; and
- FIG. 4 is a sectional view of the container of FIG. 3 in a tilted or use position.
- With initial reference to the environmental view of FIG. 1, an insert for sealing a fluid container is illustrated and generally identified at
reference 10. Theinsert 10 is shown operatively associated with a fluid container having a closure member; specifically aconventional solvent bottle 12 having acap 14.Insert 10 is adapted to sealably interfit betweenbottle 12 andcap 14. As will be explained in greater detail, insert 10 prevents fumes orvapors 16 from escapingbottle 12 throughcap 14 while thebottle 12 of thebottle 12 through thecap 14 while thebottle 12 is in a tilted or use position. - With continued reference to FIG. 1 and additional reference to FIGS. 2 and 3, the
insert 10 of the present invention will be further described.Insert 10 is shown to generally include afunnel 20 and obstructive member, which is preferably a sphere such asball 30.Funnel 20 includesnarrower inlet end 24 connected to awider outlet end 26 byconical body portion 28. Anannular flange 46 surrounds theoutlet end 26 and preferably has an outer diameter selected to press fit within a radial flange of thecap 14. The opening forinlet 24 has a diameter A that is smaller than diameter B for the opening foroutlet 26.Ball 30 has a diameter C larger than diameter A, such thatball 30 may rest in a portion of thefunnel 20 having an equivalent diameter to form a seal with thewall 34 ofconical body portion 28 when thebottle 12 is in an upright or storage position. -
Funnel 20 is preferably constructed of material complimentary to the material used in aconventional solvent bottle 12, such as polypropylene or polyethylene.Ball 30 is constructed from a material having a density greater than the evaporative fumes or vapors of the fluid in thecontainer 12. A preferred material is stainless steel. One skilled in the art will recognize thatball 30 may be constructed from any material having a density greater than the evaporative fumes or vapors, thus assuring radial contact of thesurface 32 of theball 30 with thewall 34 ofconical body portion 28 when thebottle 12 is in an upright position. - Referencing FIGS. 3 and 4,
insert 10 is adapted to be suitably inserted within radial flange orskirt 44 ofcap 14. Explained further, the outwardly extending seal thecap 14 to thebottle 12 with theinsert 10 secured betweenskirt 44 of thecap 14 and thethroat 42 of thebottle 12.Cap 14 optionally includes an articulatingspout 50 interconnected totop portion 52.Spout 50 is exemplary in nature, and thecap 14 may include other types of spouts or nozzles, whether stationary or closeable. - The operation of
insert 10 withbottle 12 andcap 14 will now be described in further detail. Whenbottle 12 is in an upright or storage position (FIG. 3),ball 30 rests in theconical body portion 28 of thefunnel 20 at a portion having a diameter equivalent to theball 30. As such,ball 30 seats against thewall 34 of thefunnel 20 to preventvapors 16 evaporating from thefluid 18 from escaping thebottle 12 throughspout 50. When thebottle 12 is tilted to dispense thefluid 18, or in a use position (FIG. 4), theball 30 locates to theoutlet end 26 of thefunnel 20, thereby making contact with thecap 14 atsurface 54 and allowingfluid 18 to flow through theinlet end 24 of thefunnel 20 to theoutlet end 26 of thefunnel 20, and ultimately through thespout 50 of thecap 14. Specifically, thefluid 18 freely flows around theball 30 to theoutlet end 26 of thefunnel 20. Returning of thebottle 12 to its upright position causes theball 30 to return to the equivalent diameter portion of theconical body portion 28 of thefunnel 20 to preventevaporative fumes 16 from escaping thebottle 12. - In the exemplary embodiment,
funnel 20 includes an inlet diameter A of 0.1875 inches, an outlet diameter B of 0.750 inches, or a diametric ratio of 1:4. Theannular flange 46 has a diameter of approximately 1.030 inches. Theinlet end 24 andoutlet end 26 are axially displaced approximately 0.550 inches.Conical body portion 28 is constructed of 0.045 inch thick polypropylene material.Ball 30 has a diameter C of 0.250 inches, which is one-third larger than inlet diameter A. - The invention being thus described, it will be obvious that the same may be varied in many ways. Such variations are not to be regarded as a departure from the spirit and scope of the invention, and all such modifications as would be obvious to one skilled in the art are intended to be included within the scope of the following claims.
