Definitions

  • This invention relates to closures for dispensing con- ,tainers and specifically to valves of the type commonly used on disposable pressure containers for prepared lathers and the like. Such a container and a suitable form of tilt valve therefor are shown in my co-pending application Serial No. 195,620, filed November 14, 1950, and gntitled, Restricted-Tilt Dispenser Valve Having Flanged tem.
  • such disposable containers are filled with the substance to be dispensed before the container tops, each carrying a discharge valve seated in a resilient sealing member, are crimped or spun thereon. After such crimping or spinning operation, gas is inserted through the valve into the container to pressures between 60 and 120 pounds per square inch.
  • the discharge valves are axially depressed. While the amount of inward movement during the gassing operation is not great, in a simple valve designed to open by tilting it may be enough to disturb the working relationship of the valve in the resilient grommet, or the seal of the grommet against the container top. Such disturbance results in slow leakages of gas from the containers. Leakage may also result from unintended lateral pressures against the discharge valve.
  • lt is an object of the present invention to provide a closure in cooperation with a dispensing valve of the rocking type, adapted together to insure the positioning of the valve and sealing member in the container top, to restore any misalignment thereof resulting from the gassing opleration, and to prevent the inadvertent tilting of the va ve.
  • Figure l is a plan view of the present invention in place on a container of suitable type
  • Figure 2 is a side elevation thereof;
  • Figure 3 is a sectional view taken along line 3-3 of Figure 2, showing the valve parts displaced downward and the screw threads of the cap only partially engaged tothe threaded valve stem;
  • Figure 4 is a view similar to Figure 3 but showing the screw threads of the cap fully engaged to the threaded valve stem, whereby the valve parts are restored to correct alignment;
  • Figure 5 is a sectional view similar to Figure 3 showing the invention applied to a modified form of valve.
  • FIG. l and 2 a singleuse disposable gas-tight container 1 suitable for the packuaging of products adapted to be mixedwith gas and dispensed A therewith under pressure, such as prepared lathers.
  • a valve and closure, structure is provided, such as is shown in greater detail in Figures 3 and 4.
  • a top wall 3 having a central aperture 4 provided with an up-turned aperture flange 5.
  • a resilient grommet 6 molded of synthetic rubber or other suitable sealing material, having an enlarged tapering-edged annular flange 7 presented circumferentially outward, and a central upward-extending sleeve 8 adapted for protruding outwardly through and sealingly against the inner surface of the aperture ange 5.
  • annular upper surface of said resilient grommet 6 between said sleeve 8 and the periphery of said tapering-edged flange 7 is concavely cupped for scaling against the inner side of said top wall 3, as will be more fully described hereinafter.
  • valve seat portion 10 The base of said resilient grommet 6, designated as valve seat portion 10, has a central bore 11 which communicates and is concentric with the sleeve 8 but of somewhat greater diameter.
  • the bore 11 provides a flow passage to the radial ports 12 of a tubular rockable valve member 13, which has at its inner end a solid valve head 14 seated against the grommet seat portion 10. Projecting outwardly therefrom and sealingly enclosed by the s'leeve 8, the valve member 13 continues in the form of a tubular discharge spout 15, the outer diameter of which is sulcient to press said resilient sleeve 8 tightly against the aperture flange 5.
  • skirt 26 At its lower margin the skirt 26 is provided with an -abutting edge 27 lying in a plane, designated 2S, normal to the central axis (designated 29) of the container 1 ⁇ and discharge spout 15, and adapted for exerting pressure against the outer wall of the container 1.
  • 2S a plane, designated 2S, normal to the central axis (designated 29) of the container 1 ⁇ and discharge spout 15, and adapted for exerting pressure against the outer wall of the container 1.
  • FIG. 5 there is shown an alternate form of valve structure utilizing a similar resilient grommet 6 seated within an upturned aperture flange 5 and sealingly supporting a tubular discharge spout 15 having external screw threads 18.
  • a tubular discharge spout 15 having external screw threads 18.
  • said tubular discharge spout is provided with an inwardly presented shoulder 31.
  • a helically formed compressing spring 32 is forced over said discharge spout 15 so that its upper and smaller end bears against said shoulder 31 and its lower end against the outer surface of a container top wall 3.
  • a container closure comprising in combination a centrally apertured top wall', a resilient grommet having a concavely cupped annular ange presented against the 'inner surface of 'said wall and a sleeve extending outwardly through said aperture, a rigid rockable valve member ⁇ seated in said Ygrommet 'having a tubular discharge spout extending through said sleeve and maintaining said sleeve compressed against said aperture, the outer portion of said spout having external screw threads, and a rigid cap having an internally threaded spout-enclosing portion adapted vto mate with the external screw threads of said spout, and a iiared skirt terminating in a plane perpendicular to the spout axis and on closing, abutting the top wall of the container around the spout, the lower skirt portion being adapted tn exert axially inward force abuttingly against the top wall of the container,
  • a container closure comprising in combination a centrally apcrturcd top wall, a resilient grommet having a concavely cupped annular ange presented against the inner surface of said wall and a sleeve extending outwardly through said aperture, a rigid rockable valve member 'seated in said grommet having a tubular discharge spout extending through said sleeve and maintaining said sleeve compressed against said aperture, rthe outer portion of said spout having external screw threads, and a rigid cap having an internally threaded spout-enclosing portion adapted to mate with the external screw threads of said spout and a flared skirt terminating in a plane perpendicular to the spout and on closing, abutting the top wall of the container annularly around the spout, whereby on screwing the said cap on said spout, the said skirt will exert axially inward force against the container top wall around the spout and the out
  • a valving closure for a gas-pressure dispensing container comprising in combination a wall having an aperture, a resilient grommet having a tubular sleeve extending outwardly through said aperture and having an annular body portion including a free-edged annular iiange, the flange having a face bearing against the inner surface of the wall around the aperture, a tilt-opening valve member having a discharge spout extending through said grommet body portion and sleeve portion, the said sleeve portion being adapted to tilt with the spout, the valve member further having a head at the inner end of the discharge spout adapted to close against the body portion of the grommet, the discharge spout having screw threads outward of the grommet sleeve, together with a cap having a spout-enclosing portion including screul threads adapted to mate with the spout threads and having an outer rim adapted to bear against such container when the cap
