Description

Nov. 3, 1949 J. c. BROW 1 2,487,519
LID FOR JARS, BOTTLES AND LIKE CONTAINERS Filed Sept. 24, 1945 JoH N CHAR L ESBROW INVENTOR BY @wwm ATTORNEYS Patented Nov. 8, 1949 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE LID FOR JARS, BOTTLES, AND LIKE CONTAINERS John Charles Brow, Belfast, Northern Ireland Section 1, Public Law 690, August 8, 1946 Patent expires August 6, 1965 2 Claims.
This invention relates to lids for jars, bottles or the like containers, the lid comprising a top which closes the container mouth and a skirt which engages the container rim to hold the lid in position.
An object of the invention is to provide a simple and effective lid which engages over and resiliently grips the container rim so as to hold the lid in closing position.
A further object of the invention is to provide a cheap lid composed of thin flexible mate rial such, for example, as paper or the like and relatively stifi reinforcing material such, for example, as cardboard or the like.
Figure 1 is a partial sectional elevation of a lid constructed in accordance with my invention and Figure 2 is an inverted plan View.
My invention comprises a ring 44 of relatively stiff material such as cardboard or the like which is sheathed within a thin flexible covering 45 of parchment paper or the like which is folded by suitable die means to extend down outside the ring, and up inside the ring.
The paper covering 45 is pleated in the course of said folding on both sides of the ring and snugly fits thereon by virtue of such pleats, which pleats are disposed generally in planes containing the axis of the ring and serve to prevent unfolding of the paper from the ring. The covering 45 is extended interiorly of the lid to form a flange 55 which is also pleated and engages the inside surface of the covering, thereby further insuring a locked condition by virtue of the friction existing between flange 55 and the paper surface with which it is contiguous and by virtue of the fact that the flange constitutes a ring of which the major dimension is at right angles to the portion of paper up inside the cardboard ring. The flange 55 thus prevents said portion from separating from the cardboard ring and accordingly, the paper covering is securely bound to the cardboard ring.
By reason of the flexibility of the materials used, it will be apparent that the structure is capable of resiliently engaging the rim of a jar or container and will frictionally grip thereon 2 so as to be retained, subject to manual removal. Further, the structureis such as to lend itself readily to automatic machine production where-'- by it may be manufactured in large quantities 5 economically.
Having thus described my invention, I claim:
1. A lid for a container comprising a sheet of paper and a ring of relatively stifi material forming with the paper a skirt for gripping a container, the sheet forming a cap and being folded down outside and up inside the ring and having a part extending inwardly from the ring and in contact with the undersurface of the cap, the paper being formed into pleats spaced around the ring, said pleats being in planes containing the axis of said ring and extending on both sides of said ring, which pleats in conjunction with said inwardly extending part lock the paper closely around the ring.
2. A lid as set forth in claim 1, in which such inwardly extending part is provided with pleats which form continuations of the pleats of that portion of the paper which is contiguous with the inner side of the ring.
JOHN CHARLES BROW.
