Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to a safety closure for a beverage container and in particular to a safety closure that includes lateral projections that facilitate rotation of the closure and also are configured to prevent an infant from ingesting the closure.
  • Beverages are often stored in containers that have screw caps. When the beverage is consumed thereafter, the cap that is removed from the container is often left in the proximity of an infant. There is of course the risk of an infant ingesting the cap into his/her mouth. This is particularly a concern when the beverage in the container is one that is targeted toward children and infants. Since the dimensions of most conventional closures are only insignificantly larger in diameter when compared to the respective opening in the container, the size of most conventional bottle caps would make them ingestible by an infant. Accordingly, a bottle closure that would avoid the risk of ingestion would be desirable.
  • a safety closure for a beverage container that would prevent an infant from ingesting the cap.
  • the closure includes a cylindrical cap body that is adapted to be releasably secured to a beverage container.
  • At least one lateral projection extends from the cylindrical cap and is of a sufficient length to prevent an infant from ingesting the cap and also facilitates rotation of the cap to releasably secure the cap to the container.
  • the lateral projections face in opposite direction and are aligned with each other and are of sufficient dimension to prevent an infant from ingesting the safety closure.
  • FIG. 1 a is the side elevational view of a safety closure cap constructed in accordance with the instant invention
  • FIG. 1 b is a front elevational view of a safety closure in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the instant invention
  • FIG. 1 c is a top view of the safety closure of the preferred embodiment of the instant invention.
  • FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the safety closure constructed in accordance with the preferred embodiment of the instant invention.
  • FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken along line A-A of FIG. 1 a ;
  • FIG. 4 is a sectional view along line B-B of FIG. 1 a.
  • Safety closure 1 includes a substantially cylindrical cap 3 and a lateral wing generally indicated as 5 which is symmetrical relative to the central access 3 a of the cap 3 .
  • Wing 5 includes lateral projections 5 a and 5 b which are diametrically opposed and are aligned with one another. Lateral projections 5 a and 5 b are connected by a tab shaped section 5 c and together define an opening 7 .
  • the basic body cap 3 has an internal thread 9 so that the closure can be screwed on to the external thread of a container opening (not shown). Furthermore a conventional safety lock 11 can be provided on the body cap. The lock primarily insures that a closed container has not been previously opened and is provided for safety purposes.
  • the thickness of the wing construction is configured to increase in thickness outwardly from a minimal thickness D 1 with a central transmission region 5 d at the cylindrical wall of cap body 3 to a maximum thickness D 2 in the surrounding outer edge region 5 e of the wing 5 .
  • This configuration is easy to grip so that the fingers, particularly those of infant, will slide off less easily on operation of the cap.
  • the thicker end region 5 e prevents a situation where closures are often stored in bulk and are separated during manufacture get wedged together, because the thickness D 2 is larger than the width of the gap formed between the basic cap body 3 and the safety lock 11 . Accordingly, you obtain the benefit of saving material when forming the wing 5 and at the same time the wing cannot get wedged in the gap of another closure cap.
  • FIG. 4 wherein the cross section of wing 5 at the level of the aperture 7 is depicted.
  • the cross section of the wing 5 has a maximum thickness D 2 which provides a bead-like outer region 5 e decreasing as it extends inwardly toward the opening 7 . This decreasing thickness helps to save material while insuring an adequate stiffness for the wing 5 .
  • opening 7 is preferably centrally arranged above the basic cap body 3 to facilitate balanced suspended storage particularly desirable of the upper region 7 a ( FIG. 2 ) of the opening, which during storage will likely rest on a fastening hook.
  • the wing 5 without any recess, without a symmetrical opening or with a plurality of openings.
  • the reduction of the thickness of the wing as it extends towards the aperture is not a requirement of the invention but does provide certain benefits which have already been described above.
  • the shape of the closure 1 corresponds to an isosceles triangle with rounded off edges (on the bottom side of the wing 5 , the container side) and a parabolic arc with the vertex at the top.
  • An essential triangle shape of the wing has the advantage that the anti-ingestion protection afforded by the closing cap is independent of the special orientation thereof. Moreover this benefit is accomplished with a relatively small amount of material used to form the wing.
  • the width E and height F of this substantially triangle shape are preferably 2.5 cm to 6 cm. In an exemplary embodiment of the invention, in order to provide even a greater safety factor, the dimensions are within a range of 3 cm to 6 cm.
  • the shape of the closing cap can be adapted to a particular container shape in order to obtain the particularly advantageous ergonomic shape.
  • the wing 5 need not be in symmetry with the main axis 3 a the basic cap body 3 . Rather, there could be a projection at one side or at both sides of a container.
  • the shape and size ratio of the lateral wing sections 5 a and 5 b and of the tab section 5 c may differ from the embodiment.
  • the opening 7 can be smaller, the tab shaped section could be thicker. It is however within the scope of the instant invention that the closing cap 1 should be configured to address an infant's anatomy so that swallowing or ingestion is reliably prevented.
  • the ingestion proof closing cap of the instant invention is therefore particularly advantageous for containers with contents of up to 1 liter and in particular with containers of contents of 500 millimeters and for containers with contents of up to 330 ml.
  • the ratio of container volume to the volume of the closing cap defined by the latter contours thereof is preferably 50 to 1 and in an exemplary embodiment 10 to 2.
  • the ratio of a maximum dimension of an associated container such as the height thereof to the width E and/or height F the wing 6 is preferably 10 to 1 and in an exemplary embodiment 7 to 2.
  • advantages of the invention are ergonomically obtained by a ratio of 4 to 2.
  • the wing is substantially triangular shaped so that the lateral regions are substantially in alignment with each other and/or are aligned in a plane. This is particularly advantageous when utilized with flat beverage bags not only from the viewpoint of the ergonomic standpoint but also from the standpoint of packaging technology.
  • the instant invention also contemplates that the lateral wing sections 5 a and 5 b do not need to be in alignment with one another and that several wings can be contemplated, for example, where the wings are orthogonally oriented relatively to one another (not shown) and are mounted on one particular closing cap body 3 . In such an embodiment, it is important that the shape of the closure cap prevents swallowing by children, and particularly by infants.
  • the closing cap assembly can be provided for an upright or suspended container such as a foil pouch with an opening provided topside thereof such as a flat bag, the instant invention is not limited thereto.
  • the closing cap could also be used with a lateral container opening or a container opening at the bottom of the bag, as long as the lateral dimensions are selected to prevent ingestion by an infant.
  • the instant invention is particularly desirable for screw caps. However it could also be used for other caps. For example, bayonet caps, clamp caps or push-pull caps.
  • a closure according to the invention would also provide a benefit if it has been fastened to a container and is detached therefrom for example, after improper use.
  • the closing cap of the instant invention is preferably made from an elastic sealing material such as polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), a PP copolymer, a PP-PE copolymer or a PP-PE blend.
  • an elastic sealing material such as polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), a PP copolymer, a PP-PE copolymer or a PP-PE blend.
  • the closing cap 1 When used with food containers the closing cap 1 must satisfy the relevant provisions and must in this case be made from materials recognized to be safe for food products.
  • the closing cap in the instant invention is not limited to food products.
  • it can also be used for containers storing products, for body care, domestic and technical applications, such as soaps, rinsing agents and adhesive.
  • a swallow proof closing cap which is made from biodegradable material might also be appropriate given the environmentally friendly concerns that are now present.
  • the closing cap of the instant invention is particularly suited for containers in which liquids or pourable substances are stored or transported and reliably prevents the situation where the infant might swallow or ingest the closing cap.
