Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the invention disclosed in co-pending PCT application no. PCT/AU01/01091.
  • the present invention relates to closure systems for containers such as bottles of liquid.
  • the invention also relates to containers of all types of fluid such as gases and chemical fluids including hazardous chemicals.
  • a babies bottle normally has a closure system which consists of a screw-on cap having a teat or nozzle. A baby sucking on the teat is able to withdraw milk inside the bottle.
  • the problem with existing babies bottles is that the bottle cap with the teat cannot prevent air passing in through the hole in the teat to the interior of the bottle. Such a flow of air occurs automatically due to the partial vacuum which is created in the nozzle when the baby sucks milk through the hole in the teat.
  • the present invention preferably provides an alternative type of closure system which when applied to a babies bottle is able to reduce air being sucked through the hole in the teat along with milk.
  • a closure system for a container comprising a base cap which is adapted to be located over one or more holes in the container and having at least one aperture for passage of fluid therethrough, an overcap locatable over the base cap, having at least one opening to allow passage of fluid therethrough and moveable between an open position where the fluid can pass through the or each opening and a closed position where the fluid is substantially prevented from passage through the opening, a nozzle which is adapted to be coupled to the overcap and having an outlet for passage of fluid therethrough and a passage extending from the interior of the overcap to a region above the overcap.
  • the passage comprises a channel or other conduit for air or gas.
  • the passage has an exit to the outside environment in a top surface of the overcap.
  • the passage has an exit to the outside environment in an outer surface of the nozzle.
  • the passage has an exit to the outside environment between the upper surface of the overcap and the outer surface of the nozzle.
  • the passage comprises a groove formed in the nozzle and/or the overcap.
  • the nozzle has a lower flange.
  • the passage may be formed in an upper surface of the flange.
  • the passage may have an inlet in a bottom surface of the nozzle.
  • the passage has an inlet in a bottom surface of the nozzle.
  • the inlet may be in a bottom edge of the flange.
  • the passage extends along a peripheral edge of the nozzle.
  • the passage includes a spiral portion that spirals around a top portion of the nozzle.
  • the passage extends around the centre of the nozzle at least once.
  • the passage extends around the centre of the nozzle 720° from the inlet.
  • the passage may extend upwardly from an inner end of the spiral portion.
  • the passage extends upwardly from an inner end of the spiral portion at a location radially inwardly from the inlet.
  • the passage is formed on an inner lower surface of the top surface of the overcap.
  • the nozzle includes a collar which is located above the flange.
  • the nozzle may be flexible.
  • the nozzle includes a central body with the flange located at the base of the body.
  • the exit preferably comprises a groove in an underside of the collar, which groove extends to the peripheral edge of the collar.
  • the passage may extend upwardly along the outer surface of the central body, from the flange.
  • the flange may include a peripheral edge comprising a sealing means for sealing the nozzle against the inside surface of the overcap.
  • the sealing means may comprise a flexible skirt.
  • the skirt is preferably downwardly extending.
  • the skirt has an edge which contacts the inner surface of the side wall of the overcap.
  • the collar is adapted to rest on the top surface of the overcap.
  • top surface of the flange is adapted to abut against the bottom surface of the top wall of the overcap.
  • the inlet may be located between the peripheral edge of the flange and a corresponding portion of the adjacent internal surface of the side wall of the overcap.
  • the passage comprises a groove formed in the bottom surface of the top wall of the overcap.
  • the exit may comprise a groove in an inner peripheral edge surrounding the opening.
  • the inlet is located in close proximity to the inner peripheral edge of the flange.
  • the inlet may comprise a small portal which extends from an inner side edge portion to an outer face of the flange.
  • the exit extends through a wall of the overcap.
  • the portal connects with the groove which extends around the centre of the nozzle.
  • the portal may exit in a side wall of the overcap.
  • the base cap and overcap may be configured to permit the overcap to be screwed onto the base cap.
  • the overcap has a female thread on its inside surface of the side wall with at least one ridge located across the female thread.
  • the overcap includes two ridges.
  • the base cap may have a male thread on its outer side wall surface with at least one transverse groove.
  • the base cap has two transverse grooves to define the open and closed position of the closure system.
  • the base cap has two spaced transverse grooves on each of two male threads.
  • the closure system may include stoppage means for providing a resistance to turning of the overcap when it has been turned to a predetermined distance to open the opening.
  • the stoppage means may comprise the ridge/transverse groove combination.
  • the stoppage means may provide a resistance to turning of the overcap when it has been turned to a closed position.
  • the resistance to turning may be slightly greater than the force required to twist the base cap off of the container.

  • FIG. 10 shows a side view of the base cap shown in FIG. 9 ;
  • FIG. 11 shows a bottom view of the base cap shown in FIG. 9 .
  • the closure system consists of a base cap 11 and overcap 12 and a teat 13 .
  • the base cap shown in FIG. 2 a is generally cylindrical in shape and has a side wall 14 and flat circular wall 15 with a central dome 16 surrounded by four equispaced apertures 17 .
  • the side wall 14 is provided with a male thread 18 consisting of two thread portions 19 , 20 , with each thread having vertical grooves 21 spaced apart approximately 90° with respect to a centre line through the base cap 11 .
  • the underside of the base cap (not shown) has an internal thread to allow the base cap to be screwed onto the neck of a bottle.
  • a circular rim extends downwardly from underneath the top surface 15 and encloses the apertures 17 as they appear from the underside of the top surface 15 .
  • the overcap shown in FIG. 3 a has a similar shape to the base cap 11 and has external peripheral castellations around its side wall 22 to assist with gripping and turning.
  • the inside surface 23 of the overcap 12 is provided with female threads or grooves which are adapted to engage with the male thread of the base cap 11 .
  • vertical ridges 24 are provided across each of the two female threads and these are adapted for engagement with the grooves in the male thread of the base cap 11 .
  • top surface of top wall 25 of the overcap 12 is generally flat with a circular opening therethrough.
  • the inside surface 26 of the top wall 25 is also generally flat.
  • the teat 13 shown in FIG. 4 a is made of a resilient plastic or rubber material and has a circular thin base 27 , a teat body 28 and a small collar 29 spaced slightly above the circular base 27 .
  • the base 27 which is in the form of a thin flange, has a passage 30 in the form of a groove which begins at an entry point 31 at a peripheral edge of the base 27 and this groove extends firstly upwardly vertically along the outer edge 32 then radially inwardly a short distance as referenced by item 33 and then around the main teat body 28 in the form of a circular spiral 34 which completes two revolutions of the main teat body 28 before extending radially inwardly (as represented by item 35 ) a short distance approximately in line with section 33 .
  • the groove then extends vertically upwardly in the outer wall of the main teat body 28 and then radially outwardly at 36 underneath collar 29 .
  • the passage 30 ends in an exit 37 to the outside environment.
  • the base 27 is annular and has a central opening 38 which allows passage of fluid into the main teat body 28 .
  • each of the components 11 , 12 and 13 are assembled as shown in FIGS. 1 a and 1 b .
  • the teat is coupled with the overcap 12 so that the main teat body 28 protrudes through the opening in the overcap 12 .
  • the upper surface 39 of the base 27 abuts the under surface 26 of the overcap.
  • the groove 30 becomes an enclosed passage.
  • the collar 29 is pushed through the opening in the overcap and rests on the inner peripheral edge of the overcap 12 which surrounds the opening.
  • Only the radially outwardly extending groove 36 is located above the level of the top surface 25 while the rest of the groove except for the vertical section above the base 27 is located underneath the top wall 25 .
  • the base cap 11 In a first mode of operation when the closure assembly is open the base cap 11 is screwed onto the neck of a bottle (not shown) and the overcap 12 is screwed onto the base cap 11 to a position where the ridges 24 in its female thread rest in the uppermost vertical grooves 21 of the male thread of the base cap 11 .
  • the overcap 12 has its top surface 25 raised clear of the top surface 15 of the base cap 11 .
  • a space 40 exists between top wall 15 and top wall 25 . Therefore the central dome 16 which normally blocks and seals the opening 38 in the base 27 is clear of this opening 38 so that fluid is able to pass into the main teat body 28 and out through the teat outlet 41 when the bottle is inverted.
  • the space between the overcap and the base cap 11 results in the formation of two chambers.
  • One of these chambers being above the overcap 12 and the other being below the overcap 12 and above base cap 11 .
  • liquid is able to fill both chambers and the passage 30 maintains the liquid in these passages at neutral pressure. In other words when the bottle is inverted there is no force on the liquid other than gravity, so that liquid can be maintained in these chambers until the outlet 41 is opened to allow the liquid to simply drop therethrough or be sucked therethrough by the likes of a baby.
  • the base 27 is a flexible annular flange with a peripheral downwardly extending skirt 42 which acts as a seal.
  • the skirt 42 When fluid is being withdrawn through the outlet 41 by, for example a sucking action, the skirt 42 is able to move slightly downwardly so that air can more easily enter the chamber 40 . However when fluid is not being withdrawn through the outlet 41 the skirt 42 assumes a position in abutting relationship with the adjacent internal surface 43 of the overcap 12 .
  • This provides a seal around the periphery of the base 27 except for the small inlet opening 31 .
  • the overcap 12 When it is desired to close the closure assembly the overcap 12 is simply twisted in the opposite direction to that for opening the closure assembly and the bottom surface 43 of the base 27 is forced against the top surface 15 of the base cover 11 so that the dome 16 fits into the opening 38 and seals it off.
  • the lowermost vertical grooves 21 in the base cap 11 are adapted to receive a respective one of the ridges 24 of the overcap so as to provide an indication of when the overcap is in a closed position.
  • the closure assembly described above provides an easy way of opening and closing a babies bottle to allow or prevent passage of fluid from the babies bottle through outlet 41 .
  • the passage configuration allows air to enter the chambers formed inside the closure assembly and limit if not prevent air entering through the outlet 41 .
  • the embodiment described above may be modified so that the passage is formed as a converse arrangement of that described but the passage could be formed as a groove in the overcap 12 rather than the teat 13 .
  • FIG. 5 shows a closure assembly according to another embodiment of the present invention.
  • the closure system consists of a base cap 111 , an overcap 121 and a teat 131 .
  • a babies bottle 50 is shown having a neck with an external thread.
  • the base cap 111 is screwed onto the neck of the bottle 51 and the closure assembly is operated in a similar fashion to that described in relation to the previous embodiment.
  • the teat as shown in FIG. 4A is provided with a small collar 29 .
  • the passage 30 in the form of a groove extends from entry point 31 at the periphery of circular base 27 and spirals around the main teat body 28 up and under the small collar 39 to exit point 37 .
  • teat 131 in FIG. 5 does not have a passage in the form of a groove formed on the base of the teat 27 . Instead the passage is created on the underside of the overcap 121 and is shown most clearly in FIG. 8 . Thus the underside of overcap 121 has an entry point 320 for passage 300 located on the inner surface 112 of the top of the overcap 121 .
  • the passage 300 starts at entry point 320 , extends part way radially inwardly towards the centre of the overcap 121 and then spirals around the opening 113 of the overcap 121 .
  • the passage 300 spirals around the opening 113 two times (720°) and terminates in an exit at the inner peripheral edge of the overcap 121 in line with the entry point 320 .
  • a short external passage or groove may be provided in the external surface of the teat from the exit point 350 vertically upwards on the external surface of the teat and under the collar of the teat 290 in a similar fashion to that provided in the previous embodiment.
  • the passage 300 formed on the overcap the passage is rigid and avoids problems of passage integrity and manufacturing a suitable passage in the teat.
  • the lower peripheral edge of the base of the teat is still provided with a skirt 42 or diaphragm which is thin and resilient enough to flex and allow entry of air when the bottle is inverted for use and likewise is able to act as a seal to prevent exit of fluid through the passage if the bottle is squeezed.
  • squeezing of the bottle actually applies a pressure to the fluid and forces the flap to force a seal with the inner peripheral edge of the overcap and prevent liquid from passing around the diaphragm to the entry point of the passage 320 .
  • the flap could be provided on some form of shroud placed over the base cap 111 , but having holes matching those in the base cap 111 to allow fluid passage therethrough.
  • the flap may also be provided on the inner surface of the overcap 121 .
  • FIGS. 9 to 11 show various views of the base cap 111 . This is substantially the same as that of the previous embodiment.
