United States Patent C 3,209,963 CAPTIVE DISFENSNG CLGSURE AANGEMENT Frank It. Krieps, Elmhurst, and Harley H. Mattheis, Des
Piaines, Ill., assignors to Container Corporation of America, Chicago, lil., a corporation of Delaware Filed .lilly 26, 1963, Ser. No. 297,784 6 Claims. '(Cl. 222-543) This invention relates to closures, and more particularly to a captive dispensing closure arrangement suitable for use on containers such as plastic bottles or tubes.
The invention comprehends an improvement in a onepiece closure which includes a nozzle and integrally hinged, removable cap.
It is object of the invention to provide, in a closure arrangement of the type described, a concealed hinge formed entirely of the cap side wall material.
Another object of the invention is the provision of a simple means for orienting a closure in pre-determined position on the neck of a container.
Yet another object of the invention is the provision of an improved sealing means for a closure arrangement.
A more specific object of the invention is the provision, in a closure arrangement of the type described, of a concealed hinge formed by a pair of parallel cuts in the side wall of the cap which extend inwardly from the end edge of the cap side wall.
These and other objects of the invention will be apparent from an examination of the following description and drawings, wherein:
FIGURE 1 is a front elevational view of a portion of a container and closure arrangement embodying features of the invention;
FIGURE 2 is a transverse vertical section of the structure illustrated in FIGURE 1, with the cap shown in open position by imaginary lines;
FIGURE 3 is a transverse section taken on line 3-3 of FIGURE l;
FIGURE 4 is a plan view of the closure, with the cap shown in open position; and
FIGURE 5 is an inverted view of the structure of FIGURE l, with the cap shown in open position.
It will be understood that, for purposes of clarity, cer tain elements have been intentionally omitted from certain views where they are believed to be illustrated to better advantage in other views.
Referring now to the drawing for a better understanding of the invention, and particularly to FIGURES 1 and 2, it will be seen that the novel closure assembly, indicated generally at C and embodying features of the invention, is shown as applied to the neck end of a container such as a plastic tube or bottle, indicated generally at B.
The closure itself comprises an inner closure member or nozzle 1t) to which is attached an outer closure member or cap 12 by means of an integral hinge 14.
As best seen in FIGURE 2 the nozzle includes a tubular body having a cylindrical side wall 22, with a bore 24, and a circular end wall 26 attached integrally to one end of the side wall and having an opening 28 extending therethrough in communication with the bore 24, which in turn communicates with the throat of the container neck.
Still referring to FIGURE 2, it will be seen that one end, the lower end as illustrated, of nozzle body 20 is adapted to be received within the neck of the container, While the other, or upper end, of the nozzle body is adapted to be received within the pocket of the cap, in a manner hereinafter described.
The body is provided inwardly adjacent its lower and upper ends with a pair of outer annular sealing beads 30 3,269,963 Patented 9ct. 5, 1965 ice and 32, respectively, which are adapted to be received within complementary recesses `90 and 92 in the contain-er neck and cap, respectively, as hereinafter described, to provide liquid tight seals.
Formed integrally with, and projecting outwardly from, a medial portion of nozzle body 2t) is a generally L-shaped flange 34 which forms with the nozzle body itself an annular groove or channel 36 adapted to receive the free or outer end portion of the container neck, as shown in FIGURE 2.
As best seen in FIGURES 2 and 4, there is formed integrally with, and projecting radially outwardly from, iiange 34 a relatively narrow flange ledge 40 which is attached to the hinge means integrally in a manner hereinafter described. Extending upwardly from the llange ledge and formed integrally with the flange are a pair of outside ribs 42, generally triangular in shape, and a preferably rectangular center rib 44 which projects a slight distance beyond the outside ribs 42 in parallel relation therewith.
On the opposite side of flange 34, at 180 from ledge 40, are a pair of axially disposed ridges 44 extending parallel to each other and spaced a slight distance apart to form a groove 48 therebetween, the purpose of which is described later in the specification.
In a closure arrangement of this type it is highly desirable to provide a means for orienting the closure on the bottle in a pre-determined position relative to the front or rear of the container. As best seen in FIGURE 3, nozzle iiange 34 is provided with an orienting notch or lug 50 projecting radially inward into groove 36 for mating engagement with a complementary recess 52 formed in the outer surface of the container neck. Thus, when the closure is placed on the container neck it can be rotated until notch 50 engages in recess 52, and the closure is thereby permanently positioned in proper position on the container neck.
Again referring to FIGURE 2 of the drawing, it will be seen that the cap 12 includes a generally fiat arcuate end wall 60 having depending from the peripheral edge thereof a cylindrical side wall or skirt 62 which defines with the end wall a cavity 64 adapted to receive an upper portion of nozzle lil, including nozzle flange 34.
Projecting inwardly from the inside surface of cap end wall 6i) is an annular iiange 66 disposed in concentric relation with and spaced radially inward from the cap side wall 62. Flange 66 forms with the central portion of cap end wall 60 a circular pocket 68 which is disposed witihin the larger cavity 64 and which is adapted to receive the upper end of nozzle vbody 20 when the cap is in closed position.
The inner surface of cap end wall 60 may be provided with a preferably conical shaped inwardly projecting boss 70 adapted to seat within the bore or opening 28 of the nozzle end wall 26 to eiiect a closure when the cap is in closed position.
As best `seen in FIGURE 4, side wall 62 of the cap is provided with an inwardly projecting axially extending ridge or bead 72 which is adapted to be received within the groove 48 between the beads 46 on the nozzle, when the cap is in closed position, to prevent the cap from rotating on the nozzle. Also, cap side wall 62 may be provided with an outwardly extending tiange or lip 74 adapted to facilitate grasping of the cap to lift it from the nozzle.
Still referring to FIGURE 4, it will be seen that the novel hinge which integrally connects the nozzle and cap portions of the closure is formed entirely from material cut from the side wall 62 of the cap by a pair of parallel spaced cuts which extend inwardly from the free edge of the side wall 62. At one end, as seen in FIGURE 2, the hinge i4 is formed integrally with the cap, as at 82; whereas, at the other 'end hinge 14 is formed integrally with the nozzle body ange ledge 40, as at S4. Thus, because the hinges formed entirely from material taken from the side wall of the cap, the hinge is entirely concealed when the cap is in closed position.
Once the closure has been applied to the neck of the container, by inserting the lower end of the nozzle body within the neck until nozzle sealing bead 3i) is received within neck recess 92 and nozzle flange positioning lug 50 is received within neck recess 52, the Closure is permanently aixed to the container.
In order to dispense liquid or powder from the container the lip or handle 74 of the outer cap is grasped and the cap is lifted up so that the material can pass from the container through the container neck throat, through the bore 24 of the nozzle, and out of the nozzle through the passageway 28. To reclose the container the cap is merely snappedback in place with the cap end wall boss 70 being received in the nozzle end wall opening 28 and with the sealing bead 32 at the upper portion of the nozzle being received within complementary recess 99 of the cap end wall flange 66 to insure a liquid tight seal between the outer cap and the nozzle.
Also, as best seen in FIGURE 5, the dimensions of the cap cavity and hinge length can be arranged so that when the cap has been removed from the nozzle, the container can be inverted and a pre-determined quantity of liquid poured into the cap which will act as a measuring device.
We claim:
