Abstract
A tamper evident container (10) for the display and storage of items has an elongated pouch (16) with a closed end (26) and an open end (28). There is a collar (18, 20) connected to the open end of the pouch, and a lid (22) pivotally connected to the collar (18, 20) for closing the open end (28). The lid (22) has a flange (40) extending over a portion of the collar. A strap (24) extends around the collar (18, 20) and the flange (40) so as to prevent the lid (22) from being opened whilst the strap is in place.
Description
- This invention relates to containers and, more particularly, to a tamper evident container for the display or storage of items.
- Hair care items such bobby pins and elastic bands for pony tails are often sold in small transparent plastic containers. One form of prior art container includes an elongated pouch which is closed at one end and open at the other end, an inner collar connected to the inside of the open end of the pouch, an outer collar connected to the outside of the open end of the pouch around the inner collar and a lid pivotally connected to the inner collar so as to seal the items within the container. The pouch is often made from a single sheet of transparent plastic in order to display the items which are stored within the container to prospective purchasers. Such a form of prior art container may be used to store a variety of items other than hair care items, including, but not limited to, keys, jewellery, coins, memory sticks, digital storage devices for cameras, stationary, nuts, washers and bolts.
- This form of prior art container may be readily opened and closed to allow purchasers to access the items stored therein. However, a common problem is that shoplifters often open such containers and steal one or more items from within the containers, without purchasing the entire container of items. Given that there are often over twenty items stored in such containers, the absence of one or two items from the container would not be readily noticed by a prospective purchaser of the container.
- A common solution to this problem is to place transparent plastic shrink wrap around the opening of the container. However, it has been found that the shrink wrap is readily removed by hand, so that shoplifters may continue to steal one or more items from within the containers. Because of the transparent nature of the shrink wrap, it is often not evident to purchasers of such prior art containers that the prior art containers have been tampered with and items have been removed therefrom.
- It is an object of the invention to overcome or substantially ameliorate the aforementioned problems of the prior art containers, or at least provide a useful alternative.
- According to the present invention, there is provided a tamper evident container for the display and storage of items, the container comprising
-
- (a) an elongated pouch having a closed end and an open end,
- (b) a collar connected to the open end of the pouch,
- (c) a lid pivotally connected to the collar for closing the open end, wherein the lid has a flange extending over a portion of the collar, and
- (d) a strap extending around the collar and the flange, so as to prevent the lid from being opened whilst the strap is in place.
- In a preferred form of the invention, the collar comprises an inner collar connected to the inside of the open end of the pouch, and an outer collar connected to the outside of the open end of the pouch around the inner collar.
- More preferably, the lid is pivotally connected to the inner collar.
- It is also preferred that the strap extends around the outer collar.
- It is preferred that the flange has a channel for receiving the strap, so that the strap may not be pulled downwardly off the container.
- It is also preferred that the inner collar and the outer collar are adapted to be mateably connected through one or more apertures in the elongated pouch.
- Preferably, the strap is joined at both ends by a buckle. More preferably, the strap is not adapted to be removed by hand without the aid of a tool.
- In a preferred embodiment of the invention, a backing card is attached to the strap of the container, the arrangement being such that if the strap is removed, the card will no longer be attached to the container and this will serve as evidence of tampering.
- Preferably, the backing card may have retail information printed thereon about the product stored within the container.
- It is also preferred that the backing card has a hanger aperture.
- In order that the invention may be more readily understood and put into practical effect, reference will now be made to the accompanying drawing Figures in which:
-
FIG. 1 is a front perspective view of a tamper evident container according to a preferred embodiment of the invention along with a backing card attached thereto for marketing purposes, -

FIG. 9 is a front elevation view of a tamper evident container according to another preferred embodiment of the invention along with an alternative backing card arrangement, and -
FIG. 10 is a front elevation view of a similar container to that shown inFIG. 9 along with another alternative backing card arrangement. -
FIG. 1 shows a tamperevident container 10 according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Abacking card 12 is attached to thecontainer 10. Thebacking card 12 is used to display retail information regarding a product (not shown) which is stored within thecontainer 10. Thebacking card 12 may have ahanger aperture 14 in order to enable thecontainer 10 to be hung from a hook or in a shelf (not shown). -
FIG. 2 shows an exploded view of the components of thecontainer 10. Thecontainer 10 has anelongated pouch 16,inner collar 18, anouter collar 20, alid 22 and astrap 24. Theelongated pouch 16 has a closedend 26 and anopen end 28. Theelongated pouch 16 may be constructed from 0.5 mm thick Poly-vinyl Chloride (PVC) plastic sheet material which has been formed by a longitudinal heat weld (not shown) and then sealed flat at the closedend 26 by heat welding. High frequency radio welding or other suitable process may be used. The sheet material is generally transparent in order to display the items which are stored within thecontainer 10 to prospective purchasers, but the sheet material may also have a pattern thereon for aesthetic appeal. - Towards the
open end 28 of thepouch 16 there areapertures 30. Sixapertures 30 are depicted in the Figures, but there may be any number ofapertures 30 according to the present invention. Theinner collar 18 also hasapertures 32 which correspond to the position of theapertures 30 of thepouch 16. Aridge 34 on theinner collar 18 limits the entry ofinner collar 18 into thepouch 16 and vertically aligns theapertures 30 of thepouch 16 with theapertures 32 of theinner collar 18. Theapertures lugs 36 of theouter collar 20 which mate with theapertures 32 of theinner collar 18. Theinner collar 18 is connected to the inside of theopen end 28 of thepouch 16 and theouter collar 20 is connected to the outside of thepouch 16 around theinner collar 18. - The
lid 22 has aflange 40 which extends over the outer collar 20 (seeFIG. 5 ). Thestrap 24 extends around both theouter collar 20 and theflange 40 of thelid 22 so as to bind theflange 40 to the outer collar 20 (seeFIG. 5 ). Theflange 40 may have achannel 42 for thestrap 24, so that thestrap 24 may not be pulled downwardly off the container 10 (seeFIGS. 3 and 5 ). - The
lid 22 hasnodules 44 to engage arim 46 of theinner collar 18. Thelid 22 also hashinge components corresponding hinge components FIG. 4 ), so as to enable thelid 22 to pivot on the inner collar 18 (seeFIG. 8 ). - The
strap 24 is joined at both ends by abuckle 60 shown inFIGS. 6 and 7 . Thestrap 24 also fastens thebacking card 12 to thecontainer 10. Thestrap 24 is made of a hard form of plastic and is thereby adapted to be removed by a cutting tool (not shown). The effort required to remove thestrap 24 is enough to deter shoplifters from opening thecontainer 10 and stealing the items contained therein. Generally, thebacking card 12 has a security tag (not shown) attached thereto. The security tag is adapted to activate an alarm if the shoplifter tries to steal thecontainer 10 from a shop. - The containers with backing cards shown in
FIGS. 9 and 10 represent alternative arrangements. Like features between the containers ofFIGS. 1 to 8 and the containers ofFIGS. 9 and 10 are identified by like numerals. Other arrangements may not include a backing card or may include an alternative device to a backing card, in a variety of configurations. - It will be readily apparent to persons skilled in the art that various modifications can be made in the details of the design and construction of the tamper evident container described above without departing from the scope or ambit of the present invention.
