Definitions

  • a surrounding sheathing for. a container of this type, in which a plastic sheathing surrounds themajor portion of the glass container and cooperates with the valve structure customarily attached across the mouth of the container at its neck, to complete the sealing of the container against escape of fragments, in case of explosion.
  • a further object of the invention has been to provide a sheathing of elastic nature which surrounds the body portion of the container without actually being bonded to it.
  • a further object has been to provide such a sheathing, associated with the container in such a manner as to prevent release of glass fragments upon explosion, but at the same time to permit gases released as a result of such explosion to be vented gradually from the sheathing and thereby avoid danger that the sheathing itself might ultimately be ruptured to create danger from flying glass fragments.
  • a further object has been to provide a sheathing of such tensile and tear strength as to avoid all danger of accidents of the character discussed above.
  • a further object has been to provide a method of producing a sheathing of this type about the container body which can be performed rapidly, reliably and economically, with a fine degree of control of the sheathing thickness and of the area of its application against the container body.
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view of a container formed in accordance with the invention, with an ornamental and protective cap overlying the valve structure applied to the neck of the container;
  • Figure 2 is a view similar to Figure 1 with the ornamental cap removed;
  • Figure 3 is a side elevation on an enlarged scale of the bottle of Figure l, with the ornamental cap and lower portions of the bottle in cross-section;
  • Figure 4 is a central, longitudinal cross-section through the neck and valve of the bottle, with the actuator shown in elevation, but cut away to illustrate the interior construction
  • Figure 5 is a detailed cross-section through the upper portion of the neck and lip of the bottle.
  • Figure 6 is a cross-section on the line 6-6 of Figure 3.
  • the pressure-pack container of the invention may be a glass bottle 20 having a bottom 21 and a cylindrically extending side wall portion 22 interconnected through a tapered portion 23 with a neck 24, which is surrounded at its upper end by the depending flange 25 of a metal sealing ring 26 which overlies the open upper end of the bottle and secures it in sealed relation to a dispensing valve 27.
  • valve may take various forms, it is here shown as a well-known type including upper and lower sealing rings 28 and 29 of synthetic rubber or the like, adapted to seal the spaces between the upper end of dispensing tube 30, the open end of the bottle, the sealing ring 26 and valve stem 32, so that liquid is confined under the vapor pressure of the propellant within the bottle at all times except when the valve stem is tilted by applying finger pressure to actuator button 33 as illustrated in broken lines in Figure 4.
  • This tilting movement frees the lower end of stem 32 at one side from its sealing engagement with depending sleeve 34, thereby permitting dispensing of liquid underpressure through groove 35 and associated passages in stem 32, whence it is discharged through nozzle 36 from the bottle.
  • the dispensing valve structure and upper end of the bottle may be covered by an ornamental cap 45 as is customary in the art.
  • an ornamental cap 45 as is customary in the art.
  • a sheathing 37 which encloses it on the bottom, along its sides and over substantially its entire exterior surface, leaving only the upper portion of the neck and top of the bottle uncoated.
  • the neck of the .bottle is provided with a special groove 38 having a substantially horizontal ledge 39 and the upper end of the sheathing is provided with an annular bead 40 which is compleniental to this groove and interlocked therewith.
  • the lower end of the depending flange 25 of the metal sealing ring 26 is spun or otherwise bent inwardly as indicated at 42 to interlock this sealing ring or cap in her- -rnetically sealed relationship to the dispensing valve structure. It will thus be seen that the entire bottle is enclosed or encased within a sealing structure comprising the sheathing 37 and the dispensing valve interlocked therewith through the head 40.
  • the flange 25 terminate adjacent the thickened portion of the sheathing, such as the head 40, so as to avert the danger of tearing of the sheathing by the bottom edge of flange 25 upon fracture of the bottle, while at the same time locking in the bead 40 by the flange 25.
  • the upper portion of the bottle and its sealing ring 26 form a closure with the upper portion of the sheathing surrounding the neck which, upon breakage of the bottle, maintains the integrity of the casing composed of the sheathing and this upper structure.
  • the sheathing of this surrounding structure will expand, upon breakage of the bottle, but will gradually be vented .through perforations 43 as described hereinafter.
  • sheathing 37 may be formed of any suitable reinforcing or encasing material such as a plastic having the necessary tensile and tear strength to resist rupture in case the glass bottle 20 is broken, I prefer to form it as a cured synthetic resin formed about the exterior of the bottle by a coating or dipping operation.
  • the coating may be a vinyl chloride-acetate resin, a butadieneacrylonitrile copolymer compound, etc. I have obtained best results in use of a coating comprising vinyl chloride resin, i.e., a resinous composition formed by polymerization of vinyl chloride as well understood by persons skilled .in the art.
  • the formation of the resinous shell or sheathing is accomplished by first forming a plastisol including the desired plasticizer such as 'di-isooctyl phthal- .ate or tricresyl phosphate and other desired ingredients with the finely milled vinyl chloride resin and causing this liquid plastisol composition to adhere to the outer surface of the container in the desired thickness, after which the coating is cured to produce an elastic sheathing surrounding the container as illustrated.
  • the thickness of the coating will, of course, depend upon the pressure of the intended use and other factors, but I have found that coatings of between A and 5 in thickness of the vinyl chloride sheathing will provide ample protection for most bottles of between /3 and 8 ounces capacity.
  • a sheathing having considerable elasticity such as one formed by curing the vinyl chloride resin plastisol, is particularly desirable in connection with this vent hole feature since the elasticity permits the vapors to escape between the space formed between the sheathing and glass particles which may be adjacent thereto.
  • annular ridges 44 on the upper and lower surfaces of the annular flange extending from the upper end of dispensing tube 30 and on the upper end of the bottle, these ridges projecting into sealing engagement with rings 28 and 29.
  • the sheathing can best fulfill its function when secured in non-bonded relation about the bottle, and the use of a vinyl chloride elastomer as the sheathing material provides a particularly effective casing, both because of its strength and elasticity, and because of the complete freedom from any tendency to adhere to the bottle wall.
  • the method of forming the coating or sheathing about the bottle may be practised in accordance with any procedure known to the art.
  • the vinyl chloride resin to be applied be of the non-thixatropic, plastisol type, or the thixatropic type, it should provide the desired elasticity and nonadherent property, and may be formed about the bottle by methods appropriate to its particular type, involving such dipping or spraying and curing steps as are necessary and familiar to those skilled in the art.
  • a composite container containing a product and a gaseous propellant for dispensing said product by pressure generated by said propellant comprising an inner rigid frangible container having a discharge opening, and an outer container freely overlying substantially the entire exterior surface of said inner container in close conformity therewith and secured to said surface in pressure proof sealing engagement adjacent said discharge opening, said outer container being a continuous sheath of a synthetic resinous elastomeric elastically expansible material, expansible by the pressure released by said gaseous propellant upon explosive fracture of said inner container, said outer container having tensile and tear strengths to withstand the initial explosive force and when expanded having tensile and tear strengths to confine and retain said pressure and the fracture fragments of the inner container, and said outer container having at least one vent therein operable upon expansion of the outer container to gradually exhaust said pressure therefrom while still retaining therein the fracture fragments of said inner container as said outer container exhausts said pressure and retracts to substantially its original unexpanded condition.
