Description

  • This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61/765,419 filed on Feb. 15, 2013 in the U.S. Patent Trademark Office, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein in its entirety by reference.
    • BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • 1. Field of the Invention
  • Apparatuses and methods consistent with the present invention relate to a polyethylene terephythalate (PET) container and a method for making the same by forming an inward thread finish.
  • 2. Description of the Related Art
  • The current state of art for container finishes on blow and trim style containers consist of a cylinder with the threads projecting outward from that cylinder for engagement with the threads of the closure. The threads must be large enough in cross section to allow the plastic to form into them completely.
  • In order to fully form the threads of the finish, enough material, heat and air pressure must be applied to the finish for proper closure application. This condition causes more attention to the finish and less to the body of the container sometimes resulting in limited process capabilities. The seal surface of the blow-trim type of finish also protrudes into the opening of the container and blocks the flow of product both into and out of the container. The radius between the seal surface and vertical cylinder that forms the body of the finish is large enough at times to cause less than desirable sealing.
  • FIG. 12 shows a conventional thread on a container top. The thread is formed as a projection projecting outwardly from a vertical cylindrical surface.
    • SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
  • Aspects of the invention relate to a blow-molded PET container having an inward thread finish.
  • Aspects of the present invention solve the aforementioned problems by (1) moving the vertical cylinder of the finish body outward to what would have been the outer diameter of the threads in a conventional design and (2) forming the threads inwardly from the vertical cylinder of the finish body. This enables one to form, by blowing molding a container, threads having a smaller thread cross section. Thus, the threads can be formed with less material, heat and air pressure. This allows more attention to be paid to design of the rest of the container for a better processing.

    •  DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
  • According to a first non-limiting embodiment of the invention, provided is a container having a top portion 10 having inwardly formed threads 20. The top portion 10 comprises an outer vertical cylinder portion 15 that has a horizontal flange 30 used as a sealing surface at the top thereof. The thread is comprised of a helical groove that is formed radially inward of and around the outer vertical cylinder portion 15. This results in a thread 20 formed into the vertical cylinder portion 15 to allow engagement with the closure. Each thread has an inner surface 70, an upper surface 50 and a lower surface 60. In this embodiment, both the upper surface 50 and the lower surface 60 are inclined at the same angle with respect to the inner surface 70. These surfaces define the thread profile of the thread 20. Thus, the outermost part of the thread forming region is comprised of the vertical cylinder portion 15, not threads as in a conventional design.
  • The forming occurs by expanding a pre-form outwardly. Thus, when details, such as threads, are to be formed, there is a limit to how small the cross-section (in vertical direction) of the detail can be, while still be correctly formed. Thus, by forming the thread 20 inwardly of the vertical cylinder portion 15, a smaller thread profile can be used and accurately formed. This is beneficial when finishes using thread helixes having shallow slopes or multiple thread leads, which tend to crowd together, are formed. Additionally, as the thread is formed inwardly, the top portion 10 can be made of a larger diameter then the case when the thread is formed outwardly from the vertical wall. This moves the sealing surface of the top portion 10 (outward diametrically) into a better position to match the seal beads on the closure (lid).
  • While the present invention is described with regard to blow molding method, the container may also be injection molded.
  • An open portion 40 where the thread 20 opens to the horizontal flange 30 (sealing surface) can run out or extend for a minimum distance based on the length of the thread root divided by the pitch of the thread helix. This embodiment uses a minimum thread run out into the sealing surface, but the present invention is not limited to this minimum distance. Variations of the finish are shown in the FIGS. 2A-8C.
  • In the embodiment of FIGS. 2A-2D, the open portion 40 defining the thread run out extends 96 degrees around the periphery of the circular top portion 10. The thread profile is defined by a vertically extending inner surface 70, an upper surface 50 and a lower surface 60. The upper surface 50 and the lower surface 60 extend at angles θu and 0 l, respectively. These angles are measured with respect to a normal to the inner surface 70. The value of θu is 10 degrees and the value of θl is 30 degrees.
  • The lower surface 60 of the thread 20 terminates at a ramp portion 80 adjacent the top portion 10. In this embodiment, the ramp portion 80 comprises a straight entrance ramp.
  • The embodiment depicted in FIGS. 3A-3D has dimensions similar to the embodiment of FIGS. 2A-2D with the exception of the ramp portion 80. In this embodiment, the ramp portion comprises a 60 degree ramp portion.
  • The embodiment depicted in FIGS. 4A-4D has dimensions similar to the embodiment of FIGS. 3A-3D with the exception of the run out of the open portion 40. In this embodiment, the open portion 40 extends 116 degrees around the top portion 10.
  • The embodiment depicted in FIGS. 5A-5D has dimensions similar to the embodiment of FIGS. 3A-3D with the exception of the ramp portion 80. In this embodiment, the ramp portion 80 comprises a curved entrance portion.
  • The embodiment depicted in FIGS. 7A-7C shows another thread 20 having a thread 20 defined by a thread profile having a curved inner surface 70. The upper surface 50 extends at an angle of 25 degrees to a normal of the vertical cylinder portion 15. The lower surface 60 extends at an angle of 39 degrees to the normal. This embodiment comprises a two lead finish.
  • The embodiment depicted in FIGS. 8A-8C shows another thread 20 having a similar finish to the thread of FIGS. 7A-7C with the exception that it comprises a four lead finish.
  • FIGS. 9A-9C depict a blown up view of the thread entrance ramp portions 80 in accord with various embodiments. FIG. 9A shows a straight entrance ramp, FIG. 9B shows a 60 degree entrance ramp and FIG. 9C shows a curved entrance ramp.
  • The width of the thread can range from 0.084 to 0.120 inches and can have a depth ranging from 0.042 to 0.060 inches. The width of the vertical wall portion defining the thread 20 (portion between threads) can range from 0.045 to 0.140 inches. However, this wall portion is generally greater in width than the thread portions.
  • A method of making a container in accord with an exemplary embodiment is described with reference to FIGS. 10 and 11. First, a preform having a thread forming region 22 below the preform neck 18 is injection molded in operation S1 and inserted into a mold having a thread forming portion configured to form an inward thread as described above. Air is blown into the preform to mold a domed container S2 (dome above neck and thread portion). Thereafter, the domed portion is trimmed off of the container S3 to produce as finished container as shown in the various embodiments described herein. While this invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, the above description should be considered in as illustrations of the exemplary embodiments only and are not for purposes of limitation. Therefore, the scope of the invention is defined not by the detailed description of the invention but by the appended claims, and all differences within the scope will be construed as being included in the present invention.
