United States Patent 3,305,145 DISPENSING CONTAINERS Charles Norman Tebbutt, Southall, Middlesex, England, assignor to The Metal Box Company Limited, London, England, a British company Filed Mar. 4, 1965, Ser. No. 437,155 Claims priority, application Great Britain, Mar. 11, 1964, 10,353/ 64 7 Claims. (Cl. 222-522) This invention relates to dispensing containers particularly for tablets, pills or similar items.
According to the invention there is provided a dispensing container comprising an open-topped container body and a cap slidable axially relative to the container and constrained for axial movement between a body closing and a product dispensing position thereof, the cap including a skirt provided with a dispensing opening which is obturated by the container body when the cap is in the body closing position thereof and is exposed when the cap is in the product dispensing position thereof.
The body closing position of the cap may be determined by cooperation of the crown of the cap with the mouth rim of the container body and the product dispensing position be determined by at least one projection extending laterally from the skirt and engageable with an abutment formed on the container body. The projection may be formed on the interior of the skirt and the abutment be formed by a shoulder extending outwards from the container body.
The crown of the cap may be provided with a plug portion arranged to effect sealing engagement with the open end of the container body when the cap is in the body closing position thereof. The open end of the container body may be inturned to form a rim for cooperation with the plug portion of the cap. The projection may comprise an annular rib.
In an alternative embodiment of the invention the body closing position of the cap may be determined by cooperation of an extension of the crown of the cap which extends beyond the exterior of the skirt and the product dispensing position be determined by at least one projection extending laterally from the skirt and engageable with an abutment formed on the container body. The projection may extend from the exterior of the skirt and the abutment be formed interiorly of the container. The abutment may be formed by the underside of an inturned curl defining the mouth of the container body.
The cap may be made of resilient material and in one embodiment thereof may be of moulded organic thermoplastic material, for example of low density polyethylene. The container body may be made of extruded aluminum.
In order that the invention may be clearly understood some embodiment thereof will now be described, by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIGURE 1 is a broken elevation, partly in section, of a dispensing contatiner according to the invention,
FIGURE 2 is an elevation of the upper part of the container looking in the direction of arrow II, FIGURE 1,
FIGURE 3 is an elevation, partly in section, of the upper part of the contatiner with the cap in the dispensing position,
FIGURE 4 to 6 are partial views of alternative embodiments of dispensing containers according to the invention,
FIGURE 7 is a broken elevation, partly in section, of a further alternative dispensing container according to the invention, and
FIGURE 8 is an elevation of the upper part of the container looking in the direction of arrow VIII, FIGURE 7.
3,305,145 Patented Feb. 21, 1967 In the drawings like or similar parts are indicated by like reference numerals.
Referring to FIGURES l to 3, the dispensing container comprises an open-topped body made of any suitable material, for example extruded aluminum. The body has an upper portion 1 and a lower portion 2 connected by a necked portion 3 of lesser cross-section and a cap is fitted over the upper portion 1 to be slidable axially relative to the container and constrained for axial movement between a body closing and product dispensing position thereof.
The skirt 4 of the cap is provided with at least one internal projection engageable with the neck portion 3 to retain the cap in position on the body. As shown in the drawing the projection is an annular projection 5 but if desired a plurality of projections may be spaced apart around the interior of the skirt. The cap is preferably made of resilient material and as shown in the drawings the cap is made of moulded organic synthetic thermoplastic material, for example of low density polyethylene. If, however, the cap is made of sheet metal the projections 5 may be ribs pressed inwards from the skirt or may be formed by inturning the edge of the skirt for example to form an inturned curl.
The crown 6 of the cap covers the open end 7 of the body and the projection 5 by cooperation with an upper abutment or shoulder 8 determines the extent of axial movement of the cap relative to the body to the product dispensing position of the cap.
The skirt 4 is provided with a dispensing opening 10. When the cap is in the body closing position thereof, FIGURE 1, that is with the projection 5 adjacent to a lower shoulder 9, the opening 10 is obturated by the sides of the container body. When the cap is moved axially away from the lower shoulder 9 to the product dispensing position thereof the opening 10 is exposed, FIGURE 3, to permit the contents of the container to be dispensed through the opening it).
The crown 6 of the cap is provided with a plug portion 11 arranged to effect sealing engagement with the open end 7 of the container body when the projection 5 is adjacent the lower shoulder 9 and the open end of the body is provided with an inturned rim 12 for cooperation with the plug portion 11. The plug portion 11 by cooperation 11 by cooperation with the rim 12 prevents the ingress of dirt and other extraneous matter into the container.
FIGURES 4 to 6 illustrate alternative embodiments of the dispensing container, the embodiment of FIGURE 4 being similar to that described above with reference to FIGURES 1 to 3 except that the neck portion 3 and shoulder 9 are omitted and the sides of the body extend downwards from the shoulder abutment 8.
In the embodiments of the container illustrated in FIG- URES 5 and 6 the cap is slidable inside the container body and the body closing position of the cap is determined by cooperation of an extension 13 of the crown 6 of the cap, which extends beyond the exterior of the skirt 4, and the rim 12 of the container body. In FIG- URE 5 the product dispensing position of the cap is determined by engagement of a projection 5 on the exterior of skirt 4 with an internal abutment or shoulder 8 on the container body, and in FIGURE *6 the product dispensing, position of the cap is determined by engagement of a projection 5 on the exterior of the skirt 4 with the under side of an inturned curl 14 which defines the mouth of the container body.
In the alternative embodiment of the container illustrated in FIGURES 7 and 8 the container body is made of tinplate or aluminum and is provided with annular processes 8a, 9a which receive the projection 5 and locate and retain the cap in the product dispensing and body closing positions thesreof respectively. In this embodiment the portion 3a has the same cross-sectional dimension as the lower portion 2. To facilitate the axial movement of the cap from one recess to the other the head of the cap is provided with a finger-gripping portion 15 which, as shown in FIGURES 7 and 8, consists of an enlargement which tapers from the crown 6 to the skirt 4 and is provided with annular grooves 16. The plug 11 cooperates with the recessed portion 8421 when the cap is in the body closing position thereof and projection 5 is located in recess 9a.
A dispensing container as herein described consists of only two components, is simple to operate, is economical to produce, has the advantage that it is not necessary to cut or form a hole in the side of the container body, and no orientation of the components is necessary during assembly thereof. It will be understood that the shape and size of the dispensing opening 10 can be varied, as desired, according to the shape and size of the contents to be dispensed from the container.
