CROWN CLOSURES OR THE LIKE Alfons Isele-Aregger, Immensee, Canton Schwyz, Switzerland, assignor, by mesne assignments, to Union Carbide Corporation, a corporation of New York Application January 16, 1956, Serial No. 559,445 Claims priority, application Germany January 26, 1955 5 Claims. (Cl. 21540) The present invention relates to closures, particularly to closures for food and beverage containers, such as crown closures, metallic cap closures, screw-on closures and the like, and especially, to sealing means therefor.
The present application is a continuation-in-pant of my prior copending application Serial No. 365,842, filed July 3, 1953, on Bottle Closures.
The problem of replacing the well-known cork sealing disc in metallic cap closures, crown closures, or the like by other materials has, since the development of the plastic industry, been the subject of a great many con siderations. Many proposals 'have found expression in patent literature of remarkable importance, but nevertheless, a really practical sealing disc meeting with full success has not heretofore been afforded.
In the case of food products, the material of the seal must meet the absolute requirement that the seal may in no way affect the smell and taste of the contents of the bottle or jar. Materials which fully satisfy this condition are, for example, certain plasticizer-free artificial substances, especially polyethylene. Polyethylene, however, has the disadvantage that it is to a certain extent permeable to gas, which normally would render the material unsuitable for sealing vacuum and pressure packed foods and beverages, particularly the latter.
According to the present invention, a polyethylene seal, suitably a sealing disc, is effectively rendered impermeable to gas by the provision of contact surfaces on the disc engageable with the top face of the bottle and with the inner surface of the metallic cap which are kept as small as possible, the mutual contact of these parts prior to pressing of the cap onto the container being substantially linear. By virtue of this relationship, after the cap has beenpressed onto the container, a high specific pressure will be obtained in the narrow contact zone. The sealing material, accordingly, is compressed to a very substantial extent in the contact zone, thus to prevent passage of gas therethrough.
In practice, the linear seal above defined may be obtained by providing a sealing disc having a thin central portion with an annular pad surrounding the same, the pad preferably being circular, elliptical, or square in cross-section, or if desired, comprising a plurality of concentric annular pads. It has been found that a pad of elliptical cross-section is particularly capable of withstanding extremely high pressure wi-thin a container.
Inasmuch as the seal according to the invention takes place in a small area or region at high specific pressure, the sealing disc need include only a small portion of predetermined thickness in the region of the sealing zone, dependent on the species and properties of the selected material. For this reason it is possible in the remaining regions of the seal to maintain the sealing disc relatively thin, since the central portion of the disc serves only to prevent contact of the contents of the container with the metallic cap, and since the marginal portion of the disc need serve nomore than to assist the cap onto the bottle, the contact line of the disc 2,901,139 Patented Aug. 25 195 9 in retaining the seal in the cap and, in certain cases, to prevent the metal cap from hearing directly on the mouth or lip of the container. Accordingly, the sealing inserts or discs may be manufactured in an extremely economical manner.
Special attention is directed to the arrangement of the annular pad. Heretofore, those skilled in the art have been of the opinion that the seal on bottles with crown closures must take place in the outer region of the mouth or lip of the bottle, and preferably at the point where the mouth or lip is inclined, as defined by the inclination of the tangent of that surface toward the horizontal, at an angle of about 45 or more, the seal being effected over a large area commencing at the point indicated and extending inwardly approximately to a diameter corresponding to the inner diameter of the mouth of the bottle plus twice half the thickness of the wall defining the mouth or lip of the bottle.
Extensive tests have shown that this generally prevailing opinion is erroneous and that an appreciably better seal in cap closures of all kinds will be obtained if the sealing area is maintained small and the diameter of the line of sealing engagement, as provided according to the invention, is at most equal approximately to the inner diameter of the mouth of the bottle plus twice of the thickness of the wall of the mouth or sealing lip. Sealing discs designed in accordance with the present invention withstand pressures which are approximately twice as high as those obtained with sealing discs of conventional forms.
A further feature of the invention is the provision of sealing discs formed in such manner as to be quite symmetrical with respect to the horizontal median plane of the seal. Thus, insertion of the sealing discs into metallic caps is appreciably simplified, inasmuch as both surfaces of the disc are identical, and it is therefore immaterial how the discs are inserted in a cap. The defined symmetry permits of simplified handling of the seals on crown cap assembly machines and the like particularly as compared to the unsymmetrical discs proposed heretofore.
In the industry concerned, it has heretofore been a problem to assemble a sealing disc with a metallic cap is entirely excluded, because a hollow space exists between the metallic cap and the sealing disc in the central area of the seal due to the symmetry of the relatively thick sealing pad. The disc of the invention must therefore be anchored in the closure in another manner, and to this end, I employ the edge of the seal as a lateral contact surface for engagement in the metallic cap. In order to attain the desired adhesion, the outer diameter of the sealing disc must, on one hand, be somewhat greater than the inner diameter of the metallic cap and must, on the other hand, be given a special shape for efiecting a tension and friction grip in the cap. The stated object is suitably achieved by thickening or cormgating the outer marginal zone of the sealing disc, or providing it with serrations.
The present invention lies consequently in the combination of the features that the sealing disc is quite symmetrical with respect to the median plane, has a thin central portion with an annular pad surrounding the same, and has a marginal rim surrounding the pad, the pad having linear contact with respect to the mouth of the bottle and the metallic cap prior to the pressing of He t?! mea t e nne diam er cine-me p d. s ge q .q f% cd net d: cr thi ken d, .BYP L E i Q. t ese. eq ined v e re tg e e am litnum eifect is obtained.

As shown the sealing disc comprises a thin circular central portion 1, an annular pad 2 surrounding the central portion, and a rim 4 surrounding the pad 2, the being separated from thepad Z by'a thin annular flexible portion 1a of the disc, The pad 2 is shown in Figures land 2 as being elliptical in cross sectio'n, but the same'may suitably be of circular or square cross-section, ormay suitably comprise a plurality of concentric ridges, beads or; pads, as shown at 2:1 in Eigui-e When positioned as shown in Figure .1, wherein the seal is rested on the mouth ofthe bottle, and the cap is rested'on the seal, the pad 2 contacts the mouth of the bottle'alon'g the circular line 5 and contacts the cap along the circular line 6,.the contact line Slying nearer to the opening 7 in the bottle than to the HP 8 of the bottle. To insure a firm frictional, adhesive fit of the disc within the metallic cap 3, the rim 4 of the disc the inner diameter of the'clo'sure, and the riin is beaded.
.When the closure 3 is secured to the lip 8 of'the bottle, the sealing disc of Figures 1 and 2 is com-' pressed to' a substantial extent in the area of the pad 2 thereof to define small area annular sealing surfaces on the opposite sides of the pad engaging respectively against the mouth of the bottle and the inner surface of the closure. Due to the small area of contact, sealing pressure per unit-"area is high and the pad 2 is com:
pressedto render the same impermeable to gas even.
