FIGS. 1-3 illustrate apackage 20 in accordance with one presently preferred but exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.Package 20 includes aclosure 24 secured to acontainer 22.Container 22 has abody 26 from which afinish 28 axially extends. Finish 28 preferably is cylindrical and typically is coaxial withbody 26, although this need not necessarily be the case.Body 26 may be of any suitable geometry such as cylindrical or rectangular. Finish 28 has anopen end 30 and an external crown or bead 32.External bead 32 preferably is circumferentially continuous.Container 22 may be made by any suitable technique, and the geometry ofFIGS. 1-3 (andFIGS. 8-11 ) is exemplary. Although the closure and package of the present disclosure are particularly suitable for wide-mouth container applications as illustrated. The disclosure can be implemented in other applications, such as narrow-neck container applications.Container 22 preferably is of glass construction (FIGS. 1-3 ), but may be of plastic construction (FIG. 10 ). - Closure 24 preferably is of one-piece integrally molded plastic construction, and includes a mounting base or
ring 34 connected to alid 36 by ahinge 38. Hinge 38 may be of any suitable type, but preferably is formed by a pair of laterally spaced hinge elements. This lateral spacing between the hinge elements contributes to the stability oflid 36 with respect toring 34. The specificexemplary hinge 38 illustrated in the drawings is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,041,477. Closure 24 may be of any suitable one-piece integrally molded plastic such as polypropylene. - Ring 34 (
FIGS. 3-7 ) is circumferentially continuous and has a circumferentially continuousinternal recess 40 that is received by snap fit in assembly overexternal bead 32 oncontainer finish 28. A conical internal surface 42 (FIGS. 3 and 6 ) onring 34 cooperates with a conical external surface 44 (FIG. 3 ) on container finishexternal bead 32 for guiding and resiliently stretchingring 34 ontofinish 28 untilbead 32 is received by snap fit intorecess 40. Adjacent to the end ofring 34 remote fromsurface 42, there is a ledge or shoulder 46 (FIG. 6 ) that extends radially inwardly from aninternal channel 48. Aconical surface 50 extends radially and axially from a position adjacent tochannel 48 for purposes to be described. -
Lid 36 has abase wall 52 and aperipheral skirt 54.Skirt 54 preferably is circumferentially continuous except ashinge 38. At the free edge ofskirt 54 spaced frombase wall 52 there is a conical surface 56 (FIG. 7 ) that extends radially inwardly and axially away frombase wall 52.Conical surface 56 terminates at a circumferentialexternal bead 58.Bead 58 preferably is circumferentially continuous except athinge 38 andlatch 60. Latch 60 is provided onlid 36, preferably at a position diametrically spaced fromhinge 38.Latch 60 extends fromskirt 54 oflid 36, and is adapted to engage acorresponding latch element 62 onring 34 diametrically spaced fromhinge 38.Latch 60 andlatch element 62 may be of any suitable type, being illustrated only schematically in the drawings. - A foil seal 64 (
FIGS. 2-3 ) preferably is received over theopen end 30 ofcontainer finish 28.Foil seal 64 may comprise a suitable disk, such as a multilayer disk having adjacent metal and plastic layers for induction heat-sealing securement ofseal 64 to the end of the container finish. - In use,
closure 24 is secured tocontainer finish 28 either before or after filling the container with product.Container 22 can be filled with product andseal 64 secured toend 30 ofcontainer finish 28 before securement ofclosure 24. Closure 24 can be secured tocontainer finish 28 by urgingmounting ring 34 alongsurface 44 ofbead 32 resiliently to expand the ring until the ring snaps overbead 32. This securement ofring 34 to bead 32 may be accomplished withlid 36 open or, more preferably, closed. To openlid 36 and dispense product, a user's thumb is positioned beneathlatch 60 andlid 36 is pushed upwardly (in the orientation ofFIGS. 1-3 ).Foil seal 64 then is removed fromcontainer finish 28, which provides a tamper indication that the package has been opened. After product has been dispensed from the package,lid 36 is pivoted toward the closed position. As the lid approaches the closed position,bead 58 onlid skirt 54 engagessurface 50 onring 34 tocenter lid 36 with respect to mountingring 34. Further downward pressure onlid 36 snaps bead 58 intochannel 48, so that the lid is secured to the mounting ring by snap fit and the edge ofskirt 54 engagesshoulder 46 onring 34.Conical surfaces ring 34 is disposed beneath the end of finish 28 (FIG. 3 ), the inside edge oflid skirt 54 engages the outside edge ofsurface 44 so thatskirt 54 is captured betweensurface 44 andring 34. This contributes to the stability of the closure on the container.Bead 58 cooperates withchannel 48 to provide a seal when the lid is in the closed position. -
FIGS. 8 and 9 illustrate apackage 66 in accordance with a second exemplary embodiment of the disclosure. Reference numerals employed inFIGS. 8 and 9 (andFIGS. 10-11 ) that are identical with those employed inFIGS. 1-7 illustrate correspondingly identical or related components. The primary difference between the package ofFIGS. 8-9 and the package ofFIGS. 1-7 is that thefinish 68 ofcontainer 70 has a pair of axially spacedexternal beads FIG. 9 ,lower bead 74 has a greater outside diameter thanupper bead 72. Mountingring 34 is received by snap-fit overlower bead 74. The internal surface ofskirt 54 onlid 36 engages the radially outer edge ofupper bead 72 in the closed position oflid 36, as illustrated inFIG. 9 . In this way,bead 72 cooperates withlid 36 to stabilize the lid in the closed position of the package and to center the lid during closure.Container 70 preferably is of glass construction (FIGS. 8-9 ), but may be of plastic construction (FIG. 11 ). - There thus have been disclosed a plastic closure for a container, particularly a glass container, and a plastic-closure/glass-container package that fully satisfy all of the objects and aims previously set forth. The finish of the container has a reduced overall height as compared with prior art constructions having threads or the like for mounting the closure on the container and/or having tamper-indicating means on the container finish beneath the thread or crown for mounting the closure. The package of the present disclosure can increase closure application speeds while reducing closure application issues. The closure is a low-profile closure. The preferred embodiments provide sealing between the closure and the container finish after the foil seal has been removed, and the preferred laterally spaced hinge element construction provides stability between the closure lid and the closure base.
- The disclosure has been presented in conjunction with two presently preferred embodiments, and a number of additional modifications and variations have been described. Other modifications and variations readily will suggest themselves to persons of ordinary skill in the art in view of the foregoing discussion. For example, the exemplary disclosed embodiments are free to rotate around the axis of the container finish. However, the closure could be made non-rotatable on the container finish, such as by providing internal lugs on
ring 34 that are received in external recesses onbead
