Definitions
- the present invention relates to a plastic molded container for the packaging of foodstuffs, such as cottage cheese. More particularly, it relates to means for venting said filled container to permit the egress of gases while preventing deformation of the snap-on lid.
- venting depends upon maintaining very exact tolerances for both the thickness of the wall and the size of the seat for the lid bead. If these exacting tolerances are not achieved, either the venting means will be covered and closed off or the lid bead will fit too tightly in the bead seat to permit venting.
- F16. 1 is a perspective view, with portions broken away, of the package of the present invention, consisting of a container and a closure lid affixed thereto;
- FIG. 3 is a fragmentary sectional view taken along the line 3-3 of FIG. 1, along with a lower nested container, not shown in MG. 1;
- FIG. 4 is a fragmentary perspective view of the interior of the container
- HO. 5 is a fragmentary perspective view of the exterior of the container
- the package generally indicated by the numeral 9, consists of a seamless plastic container 10, preferably of polystyrene, and a snap-on closure lid 1 1.
- the container 10 consists of a bottom wall 12 and an upwardly and outwardly flaring sidewall 13 connected thereto. Sidewall 13 terminates in an outwardly curled lip portion 14 which defines an open end of said container 111.
- annular, radially inwardly directed ring 15 In the sidewall 13 adjacent the open end of container 10 there is provided an annular, radially inwardly directed ring 15.
- Said ring 15 when viewed in cross section, consists of a downwardly and inwardly extending first ledge 16, at an angle of 30 or less from the vertical, which is connected to a first vertical land portion 17, which, in turn, is connected to a downwardly and outwardly extending second ledge 18.
- Said channel 19 consists of said downwardly and outwardly extending second ledge 18, which is connected to a second vertical land portion 20, which is, in turn, connected to a downwardly and inwardly extending third ledge 21.
- Third ledge 21, like first ledge 16, is also at an angle of 30 or less from the vertical.
- the interior circumference of bead seat or channel 19 is provided with a plurality of primary transverse grooves 22 which extend into third ledge 21, second land portion 20 and second ledge 18. Satisfactory venting can be achieved by providing a transverse groove solely in the second land portion alone, or in the second land portion and the second ledge.
- the provision of a transverse groove in third ledge 13 since it defines a rib or boss on the containers exterior is primarily to aid in stacking and nesting.
- the grooves 22 provide primary or first venting means 23, to be more fully discussed hereinafter. Grooves 22 appear on the exterior of the container as radial ribs or bosses 2 1.
- lid sidewall 32 About the exterior circumference of lid sidewall 32 are a plurality of equally spaced inwardly inclined embossments 39, which define a plurality of outwardly canted voids 40 about the interior circumference of sidewalls 32, to be more fully discussed hereinafter.
- a seal is provided when the surfaces of first vertical land portion 17 of container 10 and the vertical portion of lid sidewall 32 are in abutting contact.
- a seal is also provided, as can be seen in FIG. 3, by a line contact at the upper end of first ledge 16 and horizontal shoulder 33 of lid 11.
- the substantially vertical lid sidewall 32 is interrupted by providing a plurality of embossments 39 about its outer circumference thus defining about its interior circumference a plurality of outwardly canted voids 40, as can be seen in FIG. 2.
- the recesses 22 in the-container are an even number, preferably four, and the voids 40 in the lid are an odd number, preferably 1 l.
- the length of the voids in the lid are such that irrespective of how the lid is applied there will always be at least one primary venting means 23 and one lid void :10 in alignment to provide a passageway for the contained gases formed by the foodstuffs.
- first ledge 16 The point or line seal between first ledge 16 and horizontal lid shoulder 33 is relieved by the grooves 25 which define secondary venting means 26 in first ledge 16, as can be seen in FIG. 2.
- any gases rising to this level in the container will distort the lid only a few thousandths of an inch and will vent to the atmosphere.
- This slight distortion in limited to the upper portion of the container only and does not disturb the mechanical lock of the lid head in the bead seat or channel 19.
- the outer diameter of annular sealing bead 29 is slightly greater than the inner diameter of second land portion 20, good holding or locking of the lid to the container is achieved by virtue of an interference fit.
- the upper portion of first ledge 16 also serves to establish the degree of entry of the lid 11 into the container 10. In this fashion it performs the same function as the bottom of the lid seat does in current packages, without the close tolerances required in current packages.
- a container having a bottom wall and an upwardly and outwardly flaring sidewall connected thereto;
- said second land portion being provided with a plurality of transversed grooves spaced about its circumference, said grooves defining a plurality of primary venting means which permit the egress of gases formed by the contained foodstuffs while said sealing bead, which is of slightly greater diameter than the inner diameter of said second land portion, is maintained in snap-on closure-forming contact with said second land portion.
