Definitions

  • the subject is a bottle cap of the type which is first pushed on, but thereafter may be twisted off and on.
  • a shell is made from a cupped blank having a substantially straight skirt.
  • the skirt is then knurled or fluted, the inside root diameter of the flutes being a close sliding fit on the crests of the bottle finish threads to which the cap is to be applied.
  • the rim of the skirt is curled inward slightly to an insde diameter about the same as the inner root diameter of the flutes.
  • portions of the skirt are conformedto the thread formations on the bottle finish, thus providing a releasable threaded engagement.
  • the inwardly turned edge is closely conformed to the finish, in which position the edge is shielded against accidental contact by the fingers, when unscrewing the cap to open the bottle.
  • This invention relates to caps of the type primarily intended for sealing bottles of carbonated beverages, more particularly the type which can be applied and sealed in a manner similar to the conventional crowning procedures, but which may thereafter be unscrewed and used as a reclosure in the manner of screw or lug caps.
  • crown caps cannot ordinarily be used as reclosures, since they are almost invariably spoiled in removing them.
  • Various types of reclosure stoppers, plugs, and caps have been brought on the market, but have not met with substantial acceptance. Convenience is best served by providing a reusable cap on each bottle, for example, a thread or lug cap. Such a cap is also desirable for small bottles, not usually requiring reclosure, to enable the user to remove the cap without a bottle opener.
  • caps be made of substantially conventional crown form, in sizes to fit over a finish with suitable thread formations and threaded in situ.
  • the conventional crown cap entails a configuration in which the skirt is flared out, or at least substantially spaced 'ice from the bottle finish, with a sharp edge for engagement by prying bottle opener.
  • a cap of this basic configuration does not lend itself to turning with the fingers, particularly because of the hazard in cutting fingers on the exposed edge.
  • the cap utilizing a cupped blank having a straight skirt so formed as to produce a shell with fluted or knurled skirt, the skirt retaining its generally straight character.
  • the skirt rim is coaxed inward to an edge diameter substantially congruent with the diameter at the knurl valleys, which diameter is slightly larger than the bottle thread or lug crest diameter.
  • the finished cap having a seal ring, disc, or gasket in the shell, is pushed down with force to compress the seal on the bottle lip. While the cap is thus held, coacting die members form portions of the skirt upon the thread formations, seating the rim with its edge in shielded position at a diameter less than that of the knurl crests.
  • the cap threads By virtue of the structure and procedure described, not. only are the cap threads well formed and even, but a lead thread of substantial extent is formed through the rim, so that the cap can be unscrewed without distorting the inturned rim.
  • the cap can be easily retightened, with minimum cross-threading hazard, and without pounding or snap action.
  • the cap operates after its initial application as a twist cap, assuring the advantages thereof in ease of removal and reclosure, with the mechanical advantage of the thread or lug formations to effect a tight seal upon reclosure.
  • the knurling affords an excellent finger grip, the crests acting to keep the fingers safely away from the sharp rim edge.
  • FIGURE 1 is a vertical section of a cupped shell which constitutes the blank for subsequent operations of forming and applying a cap according to this invention
  • FIGURE 2 is a somewhat enlarged section, similar to FIGURE 1, showing a portion of the shell and tooling with which the shell is fluted or knurled and the edge is coaxed inward;
  • FIGURE 3 is a section through a portion of the shell skirt taken on line 3-3 of FIGURE 2, showing the circumferential contour of the fiuting or knurling;
  • FIGURE 4 is a section similar to the section of FIG- URE 2, showing the configuration of the shell after withdrawal from the tooling and upon insertion of the seal element;
  • FIGURE 5 is a section through a portion of a bottle neck having a threaded finish, showing the application of the cap of FIGURE 4, with the cap held in sealing position, just prior to actuation of the thread-forming die part;
  • FIGURE 6 is a section similar to that of FIGURE 5 showing the fully formed cap held in the crimping die, just prior to die retraction;
  • FIGURE 7 is an elevation of a bottle top with a cap according to this invention applied thereto, a portion of the cap being broken away to show the bottle thread formation;
  • FIGURE 8 is a section similar to FIGURE 1, taken through a modified cup, showing a skirt variation
  • FIGURE 9 is a section similar to FIGURE 2, illustrating a different knurling method, as applied to the cup shown in FIGURE 8;
  • FIGURE 10 is a horizontal section of line 1010 of FIGURE 9, showing the modified knurling tools and action;
  • FIGURE 11 is a schematic plan view of a production set-up employing the tooling of FIGURES 9 and 10.
  • FIGURE 1 shows the first stage in the preparation of the cap.
  • the shell blank 8 is a simple cup having a slightly crowned top panel 10 and a straight cylindrical skirt 11, joined by radius 12.
  • Such caps are readily mass-produced by blanking and forming in wellknown manner from metal strip of suitable analysis and temper, generally comparable to that used for conventional crowns.
  • FIGURE 2 shows the configuration of the fully formed shell, seen as resting against the tool 13 at the completion of the knurl.
  • Tool 13 is a roll, rail or segment, according to the type of equipment selected for the operation. That is, the part may be clamped and tool 13 rolled about skirt 11; the tool 13 may be held stationary and the part rolled against the working face; or tool 13 may oscillate as the part revolves on a mandrel. In any case, the action being generally that of rolling, tool 13 is hereafter referred to as a roll.
  • the view is fragmentary, it being understood that the part is symmetrical about the vertical axis.
  • the rim of roll 13 is circumferentially undulated or ribbed, with the traverse peaks 14 tangent to a cylinder whose diameter is less than the outside diameter of the shell blank skirt 11, whose maximum diameter is controlled by the undulation root diameter, at roots 15.
  • the undulated or ribbed surface forms corresponding undulations, flutes or'knurling by deformation of skirt 11, the resulting configuration being in effect a straight knurl.
  • the resulting skirt contour is generally sinusoidal in cross-section, with peaks and valleys on the outer surface thereof constituting elements of cylinders, as determined by the corresponding roll elements 14 and 15.
  • the desirable flute pitch angle is about 1 that is, there are about 30 flutes.
  • example stiffening is effected with fiute depth on the order of twice the thickness of a representative suitable material, it being understood that the number of flutes may vary according to the cap diameter, as well as thickness and temper of the material selected.
  • the cap made and applied according to this invention has characteristics conducive to use of somewhat thinner material than heretofore feasible in crown caps of comparable size.
  • the forming roll is provided with a bottom radius 16, blending outward from the undulation valleys 15, toward the peaks 14.
  • the radius 16 coaxes edge 17 inward, correspondingly forming the radiused, inturned rim 18, which is virtually waveless at edge 17.
  • the roll 13 is so contoured that the finished diameter of edge 17 is substantially the same as diameter D, FIGURE 3, resulting in a smooth blending of fluted skirt 11 into the rim 18, free of raggedness or irregular formation, the skirt remaining generally straight.
  • FIGURE 4 shows the cap of FIGURES 2 and 3 with a preferred liner 19, which has been found most suitable to the application and serivce conditions here involved.
  • the design and performance characteristics of the liner here shown, as they obtain in association with crown caps, are described in US. Patent 3,127,920, issued to Henry J. Dorn, June 8, 1965.
  • FIGURES 5 and 6 show a preferred mode of applying the cap of FIGURE 4 to the finish of a typical bottle 20.
  • the tooling shown fragmentarily is that which is suitable for use in the crowning presses generally employed in operations of the character involved.
  • the bottle finish is provided with exterior thread formations 21. Formations 21 are not necessarily complete turns, but may be merely elements of threads, or thread-form lugs. However, best results are obtained if formations 21 constitute the equivalent of about 2-thread length.
  • the threading may be single or compound.
  • the cap 9 is pushed over the top of bottle 20, which is centered in die ring 22, in turn centering cap 9 on bottle 20. Edge 17 and flute valleys 32 closely telescope the thread formation 21.
  • Punch 23 is brought down on cover panel 10 with sufiicient pressure to seal liner 19 on lip 24, which pressure may be established by spring-loading punch 23 in a well-known manner.
  • Punch 23 is compounded with a follower ring 25, guided by punch 23 at the interface 26. In the stage of FIGURE 5, follower 25 is in partially retracted position.
  • FIGURE 6 the view is rotated onehalf the fluting pitch from the view of FIGURE 5, as indicated by section lines in FIGURE 3. While punch 23 holds cap 9 in sealing position, follower 25 advances toward die 22 and cap 9.
  • the die 22 is of the resiliently collapsible type, made of rubber, for example.
  • the depth of die 22 is somewhat greater than the depth of cap 9, the tooling and part being so positioned that the top face 28 of die 22 is initially in or slightly above the plane of cap cover panel 10, with cap 9 in its sealed position.
  • follower 25 has a shallow conical lead face 27, while collapsible die 22 is an annulus of normally rectangular cross-section.
  • the flute peaks 33 are substantially undistorted by the die pressure, assuring resistance to destructive collapse, and retaining the generally stiff characteristics of the fluted skirt 11. Also, the general stiffness of skirt 11 is sufficient to minimize ovality or other irregular formation due to imperfect distribution of constrictive pressure.
  • the working stroke of follower 25 is so regulated as to assure the displacement of die 22 in the amount required for conforming the knurl roots of skirt 11 to threads 21. Overloading of the tool is prevented in the usual manner, by suitable spring loading.
  • Follower 25 is desirably relieved at 125 so that at maximum stroke relative to punch 23, follower 25 will not strike panel 10, thus precluding bottoming and possible marring of cap 9.
  • cap skirt 11 is fully formed, locking cap 9 in sealed position on bottle 20.
  • Punch 23 and follower 25 thereupon retract to positions of readiness for operation upon the next bottle and cap presented. It will be understood that the tooling described may be incorporated in the usual multi-statio-n capping press for automatic, high-volume production.
  • FIGURE 7 The general configuration of the completed closure is best seen in FIGURE 7.
  • the finish has a triple thread formation 21, each element of which is somewhat more than /3 turn along the helix, establishing an overlap whereby to provide two-thread engagement of substantial arcuate extent in three sectors around the circumference of the finish.
  • the arrangement assures ample grip with the cap in sealing position, minimizes cocked engagement of the threads, and keeps thread friction minimum when turning the cap free or tightening.
  • Edge 17, being inturned well inside the diameter of flute peaks 33, is fully guarded against finger contact when the user removes or replaces cap 9.
  • the knurled skirt surface provides an excellent non-slip finger grip.
  • the finish thread length is selected such that rim 18 of cap 9, when tight, lies with edge 17 in a horizontal plane through the thread termini 121 of the lowermost thread formations 21, whereby thread leads are formed through rim 18 when the cap 9 is applied as previously described.
  • This provision assures easy starting for reclosure.
  • a finish length of about inch, a thread pitch of about & of an inch, and a helix angle of about constitute a suitable thread formation, which in the three-element configuration shown provides a desirable quick-acting removal and reclosure, with correspondingly short turn of the cap 9.
  • the uppermost formation 21 starts somewhat below the lip 24, minimizing the chipping, galling, and splintering hazards which otherwise may obtain in a threaded glass finish.
  • the uppermost finish band 34 is held to a diameter about the same as the thread root diameter, thus acting as a pilot for replacing the cap.
  • closure structure and proportions above described can be executed in usual bottle top sizes with a cap blank and total material requirement less than that involved with conventional crown caps, effectuating excellent economy in material costs, particularly as compared to designs heretofore proposed for push-on, twist-off caps of the class involved.
  • FIGURES 8, 9 and 10 Knurling and coaxing of a slightly flared skirt is illustrated in FIGURES 8, 9 and 10, in which parts corresponding to those of FIGURES 1 through 5 are given like reference numerals with the addition of 100.
  • the blank 108 of FIGURE 8 is similar to blank 8 of FIGURE 1, having a top panel 110 and a skirt 111, connected by radius 112.
  • the skirt 111 is slightly flared, downwardly and outwardly, being substantially a portion of a right circular cone, except that the narow rim 11-8 is substantially cylindrical.
  • the rim 118 is bent slightly inwardly of a downward extension of the main skirt portion 111.
  • the final forming tool assembly consists of three principal tools, a cap mandrel 150, a coaxing tool 151, and a knurling tool 152.
  • the mandrel is provided with equally spaced ribs 153, alternating with valleys 154 of substantially the same circumferential extent in each case as the corresponding rib 153.
  • the valleys 154 are outwardly convex, on a circle centered on the center of mandrel 150. That is, the roots 154 constitute arcs of a common circle concentric with mandrel 150.
  • Knurling tool 152 is a rail segment provided with ribs 155 and valleys 156 which are complementary to the formations of mandrel 150, so that the mandrel 150 and roll 152 can be loosely meshed as shown, with clearance for material to be formed between them.
  • Skirt 111 is a loose fit over the mandrel 150.
  • the crest diameter of ribs 153 at the base of the mandrel cone is smaller than the inside, or root, diameter of the coaxed rim 118, at edge 117, so that the completed shell can be stripped from mandrel 150 without interference or distortion of rim 118.
  • skirt 111 is knurled progressively, being held to mandrel 150 by segment 152 along that element which i instantaneously in the working plane 161.
  • the relief of the forming roots at 162 and 163 affords clearance to minimize jamming or seizing as the material is rolled and bent over the meshing ribs 153 and 155.
  • FIGURE 11 schematically illustrates a suitable tool setup in a rotary machine arrangement.
  • a number of vertical spindles 158 are mounted around the periphery of a table 159, which is rotatably mounted on a column 160.
  • Mandrels 150 are revolvably supported on spindles 158.
  • the knurling segment 152 and coaxing die 151 are concentric with table 159- and are fixed in position for rolling mesh traverse of mandrels 150 as table 159 rotates, the relationship being as shown in FIGURE 10.
  • the arcuate extents of the knurling and coaxing segments 152, 151 are such that each mandrel 150 makes at least one full revolution in traverse of full ribs 155, which drive the mandrel on spindle 158 as the skirt 111 is knurled.
  • the usual blend section is preferably incorporated in tools 151, 152 to minimize chatter or jar at the beginning of the pass. Otherwise, sudden or irregular capture of the part may cause malformation and seizing.
  • ribs 155 may be relieved at their upper ends, along line 164, to avoid fluting through the cap radius 112. This results in a blend radius 165 between root 132 and radius 112, which latter is maintained around the cap.
  • FIGURES 9 and 10 may be completed in a manner similar to cap 9 of FIG- URE 4 and then applied to the bottle substantially as in FIGURES 5 and 6, in the manner previously described. It will also be apparent that the blank and tool combination of FIGURE 2 may be implemented as in FIG- URE 11 to produce shells 88 economically in quantity.
  • the generally straight skirt, 11 or 111 can be readily constricted by essentially direct radial forces uniformly applied against substantially the entire length and circumference at the skirt, as by the arrangement of FIGURES and 6.
  • a pressure sufficient to conform the knurl roots to the finish threads will not, and need not, alter the general configuration of the skirt, the flutes affording the stiffness necessary to prevent general distortion or localized malformation, while providing the controlled leverage and backing of sufficient magnitude to cause good thread formation in the knurl roots upon constriction.
  • the cap according to this invention is not subject to the strain failures characteristic in sharp bending of sheet metal. Hence, lighter weight, ductile material of less costly analysis and temper may be used, further facilitating good thread formation and maintenance of shape for reclosure. Also, the skirt length for caps herein described is generally less than that required for conventional crimp closure, permitting a smaller cut-edge diameter for the cap blank.
  • the slight skirt taper of the blank and shell in the form of FIGURES 8 and 9 assists in preventing the skirt material from riding up the tool faces and holds the rim down on the coaxing die.
  • the modified form has the same advantageous characteristics as the cap of FIGURE 4. The slight bending of the skirt relative to the top panel when constricting the skirt does not involve significant strain, being readily accommodated in the top radius.
  • a closure cap adapted for application to a finish having external thread formations, said cap comprising: a top panel and a threadless, generally straight skirt depending from said top panel, a principal lengthwise portion of said skirt having a circumferential series of axial flutes constituted by bending deformation of said skirt portion, a narrow rim portion of said skirt being turned inwardly toward the axis of said cap, with the edge of said skirt lying entirely within a circle of diameter less than the major diameter of said flutes, the roots of said flutes and the edge of said skirt being sized for close telescoping fit over said thread formations.
  • a closure for a bottle or the like having a finish with external thread formations therearouund comprising: a cap having a top panel and a generally straight skirt depending from said top panel, said skirt having a circumferential series of axial flutes constituted by circumferential bending deformation of said skirt, said skirt including a narrow rim portion terminating in an edge, said rim being inturned with said edge throughout radially inward of crests of said flutes, said skirt telescoping said finish to a position with said edge in a plane through lower portions of said thread formations, said skirt, including said rim, being constricted along and about said thread formations, radially inward elements of said skirt being conformed to said thread formations with lead thread elements in said rim, thereby constituting a twistably removable and replaceable closure cap with said edge closely surrounding said finish in protected position relative to fingers gripping said cap to twist said cap relative to said finish.
