ATTORNEY JOHN P. GLASS United States Patent 3,397,806 FOAMED PLASTIC CONTAINER WITH HINGED CLOSURE John P. Glass, 718 Lorraine Ave., Ardmore, Pa. 19003 Filed Oct. 6, 1964, Ser. No. 401,893 1 Claim. (Cl. 22032) This invention relates to plastic foam containers, and more particularly concerns such a container which is provided with a hinged lid, and is also concerned with a hinge which is adapted for use with plastic foam containers and the like.
Plastic foam containers are widely used today because of their light weight and good heat insulating properties. They find use as ice buckets, picnic coolers, bread boxes, and so on. Such containers are generally provided with a body and a separate lid. The lid is separate because it has been a problem to provide a hinge to attach it to the body because of the structural weakness of the plastic foam. For example, a metal hinge cannot be used because it is too heavy and clumsy.
Accordingly, it is an object of this invention to provide a hinge which is adaptable for use with plastic foam containers and other structurally weak materials. It is another object to provide a hinge which provides for opening of a closure member in one direction only, and also to provide hinge apparatus which provides for opening the closure member in both the inward and outward directions.
It is another object to provide an improved hinged plastic foam container and the like.
Other objects and advantages of the invention, including its simplicity and economy, as well as the ease with which it may be adapted to existing equipment, will further become apparent hereinafter and in the drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a view in perspective of a hinged plastic foam container constructed in accordance with this invention;
FIG. 2 is a view in perspective of the container of FIG. 1, but with the lid open;
FIG. 3 is a fragmentary view in section, and on an enlarged scale, taken as indicated by the lines and arrows 3-3 which appear in FIG. 1;
FIG. 4 is a view in section of another embodiment of the invention;
FIG. 5 shows the two hinge tapes of FIG. 3 before they are connected together;
FIG. 6 shows the two hinge tapes of FIG. 3 after they are connected together at their mid-section;
FIG. 7 shows the hinge of FIG. 6 with removable covers on the adhesive surfaces of the tapes;
FIG. 8 is a view in perspective of another embodiment of the invention which illustrates a container having a closure member in the form of a door;
FIG. 9 is a View in section and on an enlarged scale taken as indicated by the lines and arrows 9-9 which appear in FIG. 8;
FIG. 10 is a fragmentary view which illustrates the position of the hinge elements of FIG. 9 when the door is opened inwardly;
FIG. 11 is a view similar to FIG. 10 but shows the position of the hinge elements when the door is opened outwardly;
FIG. 12 shows the hinge of FIGS. 8-11 before it is affixed to the container; and
FIG. 13 is a view of a door having hinges at the top rather than at the side.
Although specific terms are used in the following description for clarity, these terms are intended to refer Patented Aug. 20, 1968 only to the structure shown in the drawings and are not intended to define or limit the scope of the invention.
Turning now to the specific embodiments of the invention selected for illustration in the drawings, there is shown, in FIGS. 1-4, a plastic foam container which comprises a body 11 that has a bottom 12 with side walls 13 extending upwardly therefrom to form an opening 14. A closure member or lid 15 is joined to body 11 by a hinge 16.
Hinge 16 includes a first tape 17 which has an adhesive layer 18 on one surface, and a second tape 21 which also has an adhesive layer 22 on one surface.
Means are provided for connecting tapes 17 and 21 together at their mid-section to form upper tape sections 23 and 24 and to form lower tape sections 25 and 26. The connecting means is adapted to form a hinge pivot with a pair of the tape sections being fastened to the lid 15 of the container and the other pair of tape sections being fastened to the body 11.
In the embodiment of the invention illustrated in FIG. 3, the means connecting tapes 17 and 21 together at their mid-section is a seam 27 of thread. In this embodiment, the adhesive layers 18 and 22 face each other and upper tape sections 23 and 24 are fastened to lid 15, while lower tape sections 25 and 26 are fastened to body 11.
The embodiment of the invention illustrated in FIG. 4 is of different construction. There, a hinge 31 is provided which has a first tape 32 with an adhesive layer 33 and a second tape 34 with an adhesive layer 35.
Means are provided for connecting tapes 32 and 34 together at their mid-section to form upper tape sections 36 and 37, and to form lower tape sections 38 and 39.
In the FIG. 4 embodiment, the adhesive layers 33 and 35 are faced away from each other, and the tape sections 36 and 38 of first tape 32 are fastened to lid 15, and the tape sections 37 and 39 of second tape 34 are fastened to body 11. The connecting means between tapes 32 and 34, illustrated in FIG. 4, is a seam 42 of thread which forms the hinge pivot. The thread of seam 42 is the only connection between lid 15 and body 11, whereas in the embodiment of FIG. 3 they are connected together by first tape 17 and by second tape 21. Accordingly, the hinge of FIG. 3 is stronger and is to be preferred over the hinge of FIG. 4.
The seam or connection between the first and second tapes holds the two tapes together and prevents them from being peeled away from the container.
FIG. 5 ilustrates the two tapes of the hinge of FIG. 3 before they are attached together at their mid-section, and FIG. 6 shows the hinge after the two tapes have been connected together. FIG. 7 shows the hinge of FIG. 6 as it is packaged for use with conventional nonhinged plastic foam containers, and illustrates covers 43 on the adhesive surfaces. The covers are removable, and may be peeled away just prior to attaching the hinge to the container.
In the embodiment of the invention illustrated in FIGS. 8-13, there is shown a plastic foam container which comprises a body 45 that has a top and bottom, side walls, and front and back walls. The front wall forms a door frame 46 which has positioned therein a door 47.
A pair of hinge means are provided for joining door 3 47 to door frame 46. Each of these hinge means includes two hinges 54 which have a first tape 55 and a second tape 56 with an adhesive layer 57 on one surface.
Connecting means are provided for joining tapes 55, 56 together at their mid-section to form upper tape sections 58, 59 and lower tape sections 62, 63 with a midsection panel 64 therebetween.
The adhesive surfaces or layers 57 of tapes 55, 56 face each other.
The connecting means may be a pair of seams 65, 66 of thread which form a pair of hinge pivots.
In other words, in one hinge 'of the pair the seam 65 is positioned at the inner edge of door 47 and the seam 66 is positioned at the outer edge of door frame 46 so that mid-section panel 64 is connected therebetween. The other hinge of the pair, however, has its seam 65 positioned at the outer edge of door 47 and its seam 66 positioned at the inner edge of door frame 46 so that its mid-section panel 64 extends therebetween.
As may be seen from an examination of FIGS. 9 through 11, seams 65 and 66 act as hinge pivots, with the door 47 pivoting about one hinge pivot when it is opened inwardly, and pivoting about the other hinge pivot when it is opened outwardly.
FIG. 13 shows a door 67 mounted in a door frame 68, with the door having its hinges 54 at the top instead of at the side as in the door of FIG. 8. It is to be realized that the mid-section panels 64 of the pairs of hinges 54 prevent the door from sagging away from the door frame because adjacent mid-section panels 64 have adjacent seams connected to the door and the door frame, respectively.
The hinge of the present invention provides means for hinging together a lid, door, and the like, to the body of a container made of soft, structurally-weak material such as plastic foam. The material of the container may be styrafoam, polystyrene, urethane, and the like. The tapes may be made of fabric.
The hinge of the present invention matches the strength of the hinge to the strength of the container parts to be hinged together.
It is to be understood that the form of the invention herewith shown and described is to be taken as a presently preferred embodiment. Various changes may be made in the shape, size and arrangement of parts. For example, equivalent elements may be substituted for those illustrated and described herein, parts may be reversed, and certain features of the invention may be utilized independently of the use of other features, all without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention as defined in the subjoined claim. In the claim the term lid is defined as meaning a lid, a door, and the like.
The claimed invention:
1. A plastic foam container-comprising a body having a bottom with sidewalls extending upwardly therefrom to form an opening, a lidresting upon the top of the sidewalls with the outer edge of the lid being in substantially vertical alignment with the outer edge of the sidewalls, and a hinge joining the lid to one of the sidewalls, said hinge including a first flexible tape having adhesive on one surface, a second flexible tape having adhesive on one surface, a seam of thread connecting the tapes together at their mid-section to form upper and lower tape sections, said adhesive surfaces of the tapes facing each other, the adhesive surface of the upper section of the first tape extending from the outer edge of the lid inwardly along the bottom of the lid, the adhesive surface of the lower section of the first tape extending from the outer edge of said one sidewall across the top of the sidewall and downwardly along the inside of the sidewall, the adhesive surface of the upper section of the second tape extending from the outer edge of the lide at least partially across the top of the lid, and the adhesive surface of the lower section of the second tape extending from the outer edge of the lid downwardly along the outside of the sidewall.
