Definitions

  • ATTORNEY nite States This invention relates broadly to the class of receptacles and is directed particularly to a new and novel combined receptacle and opening means therefor.
  • Some receptacles designed for fuse in marketing dry or non-fluid material have t-he -side Wall portions formed of paperboard and constructed so that the receptacle may be opened by twisting the receptacle and breaking the paperboard wall. While these receptacles lare satisfactory for dry or non-fluid materials, they obviously are not suitable Ifor marketing liquid or semi-solid materials or owable materials.
  • the joint between the metal wall and the paperboard side wall is not of such a character as to permit the use of conventional hand oper-ated openers either of the type which are worked around the rim of the can by hand after forcing a cutting element thereof into the end wall, or of the so-called rotary type where a knurled wheel engages the underside of the can rim to turn the can against the cutter.
  • a receptacle having a paperboard body or side wall is designed for the marketing of liquid, semi-solid or owable products, it is desirable that means be provided whereby it may be opened without the risk of spilling any of the contents as would be likely if an attempt were made to use a conventional type of opener thereon.
  • the present invention broadly contemplates the provii tet ECC sion of a receptacle in which there is a wall, such as an end wall where the receptacle may be in the form of a conventional can, which is weakened along a prescribed line defining an area of the wall to .be removed to form the dispensing opening.
  • a wall such as an end wall where the receptacle may be in the form of a conventional can, which is weakened along a prescribed line defining an area of the wall to .be removed to form the dispensing opening.
  • Such area of the wall is cut to form, or otherwise is provided with, a pull tab having a free end portion and an opposite end portion fixed to or forming a permanent part of the wall and terminating in a cutting point.
  • the inner, or under, side of the said area of the wall which is to be removed from the receptacle, is covered or protected by a thin sheet of frangible material ⁇ such as aluminum and this sheet in some instances is adhesively secured to the inner surface of the wall on that area thereof which is to be removed and in other instances is not adhered in any respect to 4the part of the wall to be removed.
  • the area of the can wall outlined by a weakened border may then be easily torn out and the portion of the frangible sheet lying beneath or against the inner surface of such tarea, if secured thereto, will be likewise removed, thus immediately producing the desired pour opening, or if the frangible sheet is not so secured to the pulled out portion or area of the can wall it will have a starting rbreak or cut made therein which will facilitate the subsequent complete cutting out of the frangible sheet either by a portion of the removed wall or by the employment of some other type of implement.
  • the area of the can wall which is bordered or defined by the weakened or tear line may constitute the entire end wall of a can or it may form only a segment of such end wall.
  • FIG. l is a perspective view of a cylindrical receptacle illustrating one embodiment of the invention in which fthe entire end wall is removable with the underlying frangible sheet.
  • FIG. 2 is a sectional view'on an enlarged scale taken substantially on the line 2 ⁇ Z of FIG. Il.
  • FIG. 3 is a top plan view of the end wall of the re ceptacle showing the pullout portion and tab.
  • FIG. 4 is a fragmentary section taken substantially on.
  • AFIG. 8 is a perspective view illustrating in the operation of opening the receptacle.
  • FIG. 9 is an exploded view illustrating in perspectiveI the open top of the receptacle and the removed top wall a further ⁇ stage portion thereof which carries with it the underlyingv frangible sheet, Y
  • FIG. is a top plan view of a receptacle showing another embodirnent of the invention wherein a segmental portion of the can wall is removable by the pull tab.
  • FIG. 11 is a sectional view taken substantially on the line 11-#11 of FIG. 10.
  • FIG. 12 illustrates the primary stage of removing the sector portion by means of the pull tab.
  • FIG. 13 is a top plan view of a can or like receptacle illustrating a reinforced arrangement of the tab and sector portion to be removed by the tab.
  • FIG. 14 is a sectional view taken substantially on the line 14-14 of FIG. 13.
  • FIG. 15 is a fragmentary view of a portion of a can side wall and end wall showing another conventional means of effecting a iluid tight sealing between the metal of the end wall and the side wall where the latter is formed of paperboard.
  • FIG. 16 is a fragmentary view illustrating a portion of a can side wall and end wall where both may be of metal construction and showing the conventional rolled searn for joining the walls together.
  • the numeral 10 generally designates a receptacle in association with which is illustrated one embodiment of the present invention. While this receptacle is shown as a cylindrical can having circular or disc like end walls, it is to be understood that the invention hereinafter described is not limited to use in connection with a receptacle of this form or configuration but may be associated with receptacles of rectangular form or other cross-sectional design.
  • the receptacle body is generally designated 12 and is shown as having the end closures 14 and 16.
  • the end closures may be connected with the ends of the body portion 12 by a conventional rolled seam or if the receptacle body should be constructed of a ber such as is employed in connection with the packaging of products such as biscuits or the like, the end walls may be formed of suitable metal and joined to the ends of the body by the conventional pressed seam such as is here illustrated and designated 18.
  • This seam forms the inner ange portion 21 with which the central portion 20 forms the substantially right angle as is clearly shown in FIG. 2.
  • the entire end wall l14 is stamped or pressed as an integral one-piece unit from a sheet of metal or other suitable material and in the required size to cover the end of the receptacle body and in the pressing operation it is shaped to form the disc like center por-tion encircled by the right angle ilange 21, a portion of which, in the operation of connecting the end wall with the side wall, may be turned or rolled under on the outer side of the side wall and such rolled or turned under portion and the inner part of the flange pressed together to squeeze or grip the end edge of the wall therebetween to form a uid tight joint as indicated at 22.
  • the dise portion 20 which lies inside of and is encircled by the ange portion 21 is weakened close in the angle or corner formed between the disc and the flange 21, through substantially the entire circumference of the disc, such weakening here being illustrated as being produced or effected by a discontinuous or interrupted slit consisting of portions 23 alternating with uncut or unslit portions 24.
  • the uncut portions 24 are of very small, even minute, extent as compared with the extent of the cut portions 23 so that the disc like central portion 20 is readily torn out or separated from the surrounding flange 21.
  • one of the slit portions 23 follow the curvature of the ange 21 -th-rough the major portion of the circumference of the disclike head portion 20, one of the slit portions, instead of being arcuate, consists of two straight parts 25 which lie between two joining or unslit portions 24 and define an obtuse angle.
  • the two parts 25 of this anguvlated slit intersect in the formation of the obtuse angle to form a cutting point 26.
  • the entire disc like portion or head of the receptacle is intended to be removed in the opening of the receptacle.
  • the disc like portion 20 is cut or stamped to yform a tab 27 which has a free end edge 2S lying adjacent to the center of the portion 20 and which free end merges into the side edges 29 which extend outwardly toward the periphery of the portion 20 and terminate in the lateral extensions 30.
  • These lateral extensions terminate adjacent to the outer ends of the parts 25 of the angular slit and are also relatively close to the adjacent uncut portions 24 so that the tab is joined to the disc like portion 20 by the side ears 31.
  • Each of these side ears of the tab is reinforced by a short outpressed rib 32 of the metal which lies between a Ilaterally extending portion 30 of the slit at the attached end of the tab and an unslit connecting portion 24 between the disc portion 20 and the flange 21.
  • the tab 27 In order to facilitate grasping the tab 27 the latter is longitudinally bowed outwardly or ribbed as at 33 so that, as shown in FIG. 1, a portion of the end edge 28 lies slightly above the top surface of the disclike portion 20.
  • the free end of the tab may be made to lie in the plane of the portion 20 land the tab may be given a slight arcuate bow outwardly sutiicient to elevate portions of the edges 29 above the top of the portion 20, to facilitate grasping the tab.
  • the end wall 14 is covered on its inner or under side by a sheet 34 of a frangible material, preferably aluminum foil, although such sheet may consist of a suitable plastic which would be unaffected by the contents of the receptacle and this sheet of frangible material is rolled or folded into the seam 18 as here illustrated, or as shown in FIGS. l5 and 16, to form a tight or hermetic connec tion with the end edge of the receptacle wall.
