SEALING INSERT FOR CONTAINERS Filed Dec. 12, 1966 I INVENTOR Leo L. Kel/eff fiwg WW 3.
United States Patent Office 3,372,424 Patented Mar. 12, 1968 3,372,424 SEALING HJSERT FOR CONTAINERS Leo L. Kellett, 1605 W. 76th, Kansas City, Mo. 64114 Filed Dec. 12, 1966, Ser. No. 601,024 7 Claims. (Cl. --257.05)
This invention relates to improvements in scaling inserts of the general type disclosed in my US. Letters Patent No. 2,703,898, granted Mar. 15, 1955, and entitled, Combination Brush Stripper and Liquid Seal for Containers.
The aforesaid patent relates to an attachment adapted for disposition within the neck of a bottle, for example, capable of performing a number of functions that assist the user of the liquid within the bottle. First, the attachment serves as a stripper which removes excess liquid from a brush after the latter has been dipped into the bottle through the neck thereof. Secondly, the attachment forms the brush into a particular desired cross-sectional configuration as the brush is removed from the bottle. Thirdly, the device seals the contents of the bottle from the atmosphere for a period of time after withdrawal of the brush. Additionally, accidental spilling of the contents of the bottle is prevented should inadvertent tipping of the bottle occur.
The attachment described in the aforesaid patent has proven to be quite satisfactory, particularly when used in conjunction with small bottles employed as containers for finger-nail polish and similar substances. However, the flexible lips depending from the tubular body portion of the attachment, which must flex outwardly to permit insertion of the brush, flex along hinge lines formed at the lowermost end of the tubular body portion, the latter being held throughout its length in constant compression by the friction fit between the tubular body and the neck of the bottle. Thus, in order for the lips to flex outwardly, the pressure exerted as a result of the friction fit must be offset by an opposing force (exerted by insertion of the brush). This inhibits natural flexure and restricts the ability of the lips to yield with the insertion of the brush applicator.
Another factor tending to inhibit natural flexure of the lips relates to the angular disposition of the lips with respect to the wall of the tubular body to which the lips are integrally joined. As viewed in longitudinal cross section, the external angle formed by each lip and the wall of the tubular body is considerably greater than 180, requiring that the force of the applicator effectively decrease the angle to a value more nearly equal to 180 by pushing against the lip as it is inserted. This causes an opposing force to be developed as the normal angular disposition of the two components is distorted, such opposing force being proportionally greater than the force that would be produced if the external angle were normally less than 180 degrees.
It is, therefore, the primary object of this invention to provide an insert for the neck of a container which overcomes the disadvantages discussed above, while at the same time performing the four aforesaid functions which render the container more conveniently usable as a receptacle for storing and dispensing fingernail polish and other viscous liquids.
As a corollary to the foregoing object, it is an important aim of the instant invention to provide such an insert which operates without interference from the neck of the container and is constructed in a manner to minimize the opposing forces produced within the material of the insert during insertion of the applicator into the bottle.
In the drawing:
FIGURE 1 is a side elevational view of the insert;
FIG. 2 is an elevational view displaced 90 with respect to the view of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a plan view;
FIG. 4 is a bottom view;
FIG. 5 is a vertical sectional view taken along line 5-5 of FIG. 1; and
FIG. 6 is a vertical sectional view taken along line 66 of FIG. 2 with the addition of the neck of the container and the cap therefor.
The numeral 10 denotes the externally threaded neck of a container such as a bottle, a screw-down cap 12 being threaded on neck 10 as illustrated in FIG. 6. An insert 14 includes a cylindrical body 16 having a continuous, outturned flange 18 at the uppermost end thereof, body 16 being held in neck 10 by an interference fit with flange 18 overlying the neck and clamped between the latter and cap 12.
Insert 14 is composed of a flexible material, preferably a moldable synthetic resin such as polyethylene. A positive, double-seal is formed by the seating of flange 18 on the lip of neck 10 and the frictional, 360 degree fit of body 16 within neck 10. Flange 18 obviates the need to provide a liner or gasket for cap 12 and is sized to duplicate the thickness of a conventional liner so that cap screw-down is not affected. It should be understood that neck 10, cap 12 and insert 14 are shown larger than actual size for use of the assembly as a container and dispenser of fingernail polish, a commercial use for which insert 14 is particularly, but not exclusively, adapted.
The lower end of body 16 is externally bevelled to present a band 20 having an inverted, frusto-conical, external face. The lowermost extremity 22 of band 20, therefore, is radially inwardly spaced with respect to the circumferential periphery of the unbevelled portion of body 16. As is particularly clear by comparing FIGS. 5 and 6, a pair of diametrically opposed, arcuate featheredges 22a are formed by extremity 22.
A pair of elongated, diametrically opposed lips 24 of U-shaped cross section depend from extremity 22 between edges 22a and are integrally formed with band 20. Each lip 24 has an elongated, transversely arcuate bight 26, and a pair of inwardly extending, opposed, flat wings 28. Union of each lip 24 and band 20 is effected at the uppermost end of bight 26 where an arcuate line of flexure is formed at extremity 22.
Featheredges 22a lie in a horizontal plane as is clear in FIG. 5. The upper end 30 of each wing 28 is coplanar with the ends 30 of the other wings 28, such plane being located slightly below the plane of featheredges 22a in parallelism therewith. Each wing 28 of each lip 24 is also provided with a vertical edge 32 which is parallel to the vertical edge 32 of a corresponding wing 28 of the other lip 24. Additionally, corresponding wings of the two lips are coplanar and each wing 28 is slightly inclined since the bights 26 increase somewhat in width as extremity 22 of band 20 is approached. Bights 26 converge as their lowermost, arcuate edges 34 are approached to present a generally elliptical opening 36 in the plane defined by the edges 34. These edges 35 at the lowermost limit of insert 14 function as wiping edges when a brush applicator (not shown) is inserted into the bottle through neck 10 and subsequently removed, the inner, concave surfaces 38 of bights 26 assisting in the removal of excess liquid from the brush by a squeegee action.
A pair of curved lines of interruption 40 extend between proximal ends of the opposed featheredges 22a as will be appreciated by a comparison of FIGS. 5 and 6. The lines of interruption 40 define the boundary between the cylindrical inner surface of body 16 and a pair of diammetrically opposed, downwardly converging, internal surfaces 42 of body 16 formed within band 20. Surfaces 42 are linear in their direction of convergence and merge with corresponding concave, internal surfaces 38 of bights 26, surfaces 38 being longitudinally linear. Thus, a pair of uninterrupted surfaces 38, 42 extend from the lines of interruption 40 to respective wiping edges 34.
Although surfaces 42 are downwardly convergent, their slopes are steeper than the slope of the bevelled external face of band therefore, the thickness of band 28 between each surface 42 and the corresponding opposed portion of its external face decreases as extremity 22 is approached. Additionally, the external face of band 20 forms an obtuse angle with each bight 26 as is clear in FIG. 6.
Insert 14 is utilized in the same manner as the attachment disclosed in my aforesaid patent, the latter being incorporated herein by reference as may be necessary for a complete understanding of the manner of utilization and the basic operational principles of insert 1d. Therefore, the following is limited to a discussion of the improved manner in which insert 14 functions as compared with the attachment of the aforesaid patent.
It will be noted that the bevelled band 20 spaces the lines of fiexure of bights radially inwardly from the internal surface of neck It). The natural resiliency of the material of insert 1.4 serves to restore lips 24 to their normal positions as illustrated after removal of the brush applicator from the bottle. When the applicator is inserted, it will be appreciated that flexure of each lip 24 at 'the union of its bight 26 with extremity 22 is impeded only by such restoring force and that, therefore, insertion of the applicator is readily effected, yet excess liquid is effectively stripped from the brush by the action of lips 24 as the applicator is removed.
Freedom of fiexure of lips 24 is enhanced by the obtuse angle formed by band 20 and each bight 26. It will be appreciated that the line of ilexure of bight 26 is substantially at the apex of the angle, resulting in a decrease in such angle as outward flexing is produced. Sufiicient restoring force is available by virtue of the inherent memory of the material, but interference with insertion of the applicator is minimized.
Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new and desired to be secured by Letters Patent is:
