Description

April 30, 1957 R. L. LAWRENCE CLOSURE ARRANGEMENT FOR THIN WALLED RIGID PLASTIC VIAL Filed March 22, 1954' U. 25 Illl-l 1 V 20 I 511 60 F $2 a! INVENTOR mkfiarag [marl/we I ATTORNEYS nite CLOSURE ARRANGEMENT FOR THIN WALLED RIGID PLASTIC VIAL Richard 1.. Lawrence, Irvington, N. J., assignor to Celluplastic Corporation, a corporation of New Jersey This invention relates to plastic containers and in particular to a plastic vial and cap having a closure arrangement which is especially adapted for use in automatic capping machines.
In accordance with my invention I provide a plastic vial with a cap of plastic material which fits over the mouth and down around the outside of the vial to form a highly efflcient frictional seal with the vial wall. The closure arrangement for the cap and vial includes leadin portions which provide enough clearance between the members initially so that orientation of the cap on the mouth of the vial may be carried out in a uniform and positive manner by automatic capping machinery. The lead-in portions also assist in guiding the cap down around the vial wall and when the cap is about half way home the lead-in portions frictionally engage mating surfaces which take up the initial clearance between the members and seal the vial. By bringing each lead-in portion into frictional contact with a mating surface in this way sealing action may be made to extend throughout the full length of the side wall of the cap to give a highly efficient closure for the vial.
My invention can be readily understood by reference to the accompanying drawings in which Fig. 1 is a front elevational view of my cap and vial partially cut away to show the closure arrangement;
Fig. 2 is a front elevational view of the cap and vial of Fig. 1 in which the cap is separated from the vial in order to show the construction of the mouth of the vial and the cap is shown in section to illustrate its construction; and
Fig. 3 is a sectional view taken on line 3-3 of Fig. 1.
In the drawings the numeral represents the plastic vial and 12 the cap having a top section 14 and a side wall in the form of an annular flange 16. Flange 16 is adapted to fit over the mouth of the vial and down around the outside to form a frictional seal with the vial. The side wall of the cap adjacent its mouth 18 is partially cut away on the inside to form a lead-in portion 20 which is oifset from the surface of the wall of the cap by means of a connecting shoulder 22. As a result, the interior of the cap is divided into two separate cylindrical sections of difierent diameter separated by means of connecting shoulder 22. Similarly, the side wall 26 of the vial is partially cut away on the outside adjacent mouth 28 to form a lead-in portion 30 which terminates in a series of ribs 32 positioned around the' lower part of the lead-in portion of the vial. Lead-in portion 30 is connected with the wall of the vial by means of a shoulder 34 and as shown in the drawings, ribs 32 do not project out beoynd the exterior surface of the wall of the vial.
As best shown in Fig. 2, when cap 12 is placed over the mouth of vial 10, lead in portions 20 and 30 provide enough clearance between the members so that the cap may be readily fitted over the mouth of the vial and pushed down around the vial wall in a uniform and positive manner by automatic capping machinery.
States Patent As a result of the initial clearance the cap may be made to fit squarely over the mouth of the vial and as it is pushed home on the vial lead in portion 30 at the mouth of the vial is brought into frictional engagement with the interior side wall of the cap and lead in portion 20 of the cap is brought into frictional engagement with ribs 32 as illustrated in Fig. 1. By bringing the lead in portions of the cap and vial into contact with mating surfaces in this way I achieve a highly efiicient frictional seal which extends over the full length of the side wall of the cap. Ribs 32 on lead in portion 30 are of particular advantage for automatic capping in that they provide an escapement for the air which tends to be trapped and compressed in the vial during capping and this substantially eliminates objectionable popping-off of caps after assembly. For best results I prefer to make the height of lead in portion 20 of the cap approximately equal to the height of ribs 32 and the height of lead in portion 30 of the vial approximately equal to the height of the surface of the interior wall of the cap above the lead in portion 20.
In the preferred form of my invention shown, both vial 10 and cap 12 are made of plastic materials and may be formed by any of the well-known methods of molding, such as injection molding. Any of the known plastic materials capable of being molded, may be used such as the phenolics, urea, cellulose acetate, cellulose acetate butyrate, vinyls, polystyrene, alkyd, melamine, polyester, acrylic, polyethylene, polyamide, protein, phenolic furfural, furan and vinylidene chloride plastic materials. For best results I prefer to make the cap of a plastic material which has greater flexibility than the material in the vial. This may be conveniently done by selecting materials in which the difference in hardness and resistance to distortion is approximately equal to the ditference in hardness between polystyrene and polyethylene plastic materials. When this is done I can make the walls of the vial quite thin without danger of splitting them during automatic capping operations. Flexibility in the material of the cap is also of advantage in that the material tends to conform to the shape of the vial and if desired the cap can even be stretched around the mouth of the vial to give an exceptionally tight frictional seal without danger of cracking the vial walls. If the cap is to be stretched around the mouth of the vial then I prefer to bevel shoulder 22 and the leading edge of ribs 32 so that the lead-in portion and interior side wall of the cap above the lead-in portion will be cammed up around ribs 32 and lead-in portion 30 respectively.
As illustrated in Fig. 3 when the vial is made of a rigid material such as polystyrene and the cap of a flexible material such as polyethylene then the flexible material in the side wall of the cap tends to stretch out flat between the individual ribs 32 which in turn bite into the material of the cap to give an extremely elfective frictional seal in this part of the closure. With these plastic materials I have been able to achieve this result without splitting the vial during automatic capping with an exceedingly thin walled vial in which the thickness of the vial wall was not over approximately .035 to .045 inch and in which the thickness of the lead-in portion of the vial was not over approximately .020 to .030 inch. In this connection, it will be noted that I prefer to make the outside diameter of the cap slightly greater than the outside diameter of the vial as indicated at 36 so that the cap may be stripped from the vial by sliding the thumb along the side of the vial and up against the projecting edge of the rim of the cap. If desired a series of grooves as indicated at 38 may be positioned in the outside surface of the wall of the cap to provide a grip for manual capping and uncapping of the vial in use.
Patented Apr. 30,1957
