Definitions

  • ABSTRACT A safety closure for containers includes a locking ring mounted to the neck of a container in such a manner as to prevent relative rotation thereto.
  • a tab is connected to and extends away from the body of the mounting ring and includes at least one locking tooth for engagement with locking elements on the closure.
  • a cut away portion is provided between the tab and locking ring body to form a hinged connection for the tab so that the tooth may be moved up and down into and out of engagement with the closure locking elements.
  • a locking ring which includes teeth engageable with serrations on the closure or cap.
  • teeth engageable with serrations on the closure or cap When it is desired to remove the cap it is necessary to grasp the ring by an outwardly provided tab and pull the ring outwardly to distort its shape and thus disengage its teeth from the teeth or serrations on the cap.

  • FIGS.'1-7 show one embodiment of this invention wherein the safety closure 10 includes a locking ring 12 for positively locking cap or closure member 14 to the neck 16 of bottle or container'18.
  • locking ring 12 includes a body comprising an upper substantially annular rim 20 and a depending skirt 22 connected to the periphery of rim 20.
  • the inner surface of skirt 22 is notched or serrated as indicated by the reference numeral 24 for engagement with teeth 26 on the neck 16 of bottle 18.
  • Teeth 26 are, for example, in-
  • serrations24 are provided around substantially the entire inner surface or annular portion of skirt 22 it is not critical to position the ring in any special orientation with respect to the container during assembly thereof as is necessary with-various conventional arrangements. By the engagement of serrations 24 with teeth 26 ring 12 is thus mounted in place and held against relative rotation with respect to the container.
  • ring 12 is made of material which is resilientenough to tightly snap over teeth .26 but stiff enoughto resist any tendency to be dislodged therefrom.
  • a suitable material for this purpose is a polycarbonate commercially available and Lexan (reg. T.M. of GB. Co.).
  • the body of ring 12 includes an integral offset extension 28 which likewise includes the peripheral skirt 22.
  • a tab 30 is hinged .to extension 28 by apair of slits .32 or cut away portions whereby the tab issecured tout-he extension 28 atonly one end 34 thereof.
  • At :Ieast .one locking tooth .36 is provided at the edge of .tab Asv shown in FIGS-'3, 10 and 17 tooth 36 includes a substantially vertical edge 35 and an inclined edge 37.
  • the cap or closure 14 is of generally cylindrical construction with a closed topwall 38 and with integral screw threads 40 or other means for securing the closure to the neck 16 of container 18.
  • a liner 42 may be provided in the cap or closure 14 between upper wall 38 and the top wall of neck 16.
  • the lower edge of cap 14 includes ratchet teeth 44 around the entire periphery thereof.
  • ratchet teeth are provided at the inner surface of skirt or flange 46 so that the other surface is smooth and continuous for purposes later described.
  • Teeth 44 are constructed for engagement with tooth 36 by the inclusion of vertical faces 50 and sloping faces 48 so that during such engagement cap 14 can rotate in only one direction.
  • cap 14 is screwed onto the neck 16 of container 18 with the ratchet teeth 44 eventually riding over looking tooth 36.
  • hinged tab 30 moves up and down as each ratchet tooth contacts locking tooth 36 until the top wall 38 rests snugly against the top of neck 16.
  • Locking tooth 36 is then trapped between pairs of teeth 44.
  • ratchet teeth 44 are so designed that when locking teeth 36 is engaged therewith cap 14 can completely rotate in only one direction.
  • the cap can rotate backwards only by a distance less than the spacing between a pair of adjacent teeth 44. Accordingly, the locking action is such that if there is a slight back up the container would still not leak.
  • sealing liner 42 There is further assurance of preventing the container from leaking by, for example, the provision of sealing liner 42.
  • Tab 30 is also provided with an upstanding lug 52 for accommodating the finger of a user.
  • the user depresses tab 30 by pressing downwardly against lug 52 which in turn causes locking tooth 36 to be moved below ratchet teeth 44 so that the cap can freely rotate in the reverse direction.
  • the provision of skirt 46 acts to shield ratchet teeth 44 as well as locking tooth 36, thus providing an aestheically more attractive safety closure as well as adding to its effectiveness. In this respect, for example, a child would be less likely to determine how the ring 12 and cap 14 are locked together when the engaged locking elements are not visible.
  • FIGS. 8-14 show a further embodiment'of this invention wherein the tab 54 has as its cut away portions a pair of slits 56, 58 on opposite sides of the tab so that the tab is hinged at one end 60 to offset extension 62.
  • tab 54 includes an upstanding lug 52 and locking tooth 36 for engagement with cap 14 shown in phantom in FIG. 13.
  • means are provided to assure the user that there has as long as the strip is intact the user has some assurance that there has been no tampering with the container. It is to be understood that although the strips are illustrated only in the embodiment of FIGS. 8-14 the provision of the strips is also possible in other embodiments by disposing the strips across the slits.
  • FIGS. 15-20 show still a further embodiment of this invention wherein the locking ring 65 is generally disc shaped including an annular body 66 with a depending peripheral skirt 67 having an offset extension 68 which is radially displaced from the skirt with a locking tooth 70 thereon.
  • the cut away portion is a slit 72 along one side of the tab so that the extension or tab itself is hinged to the body at one end 74.
  • Locking ring 65 may be secured to container 18 in any suitable manner.
  • the inner surface of body 66 include serrations 76 which extend completely therearound for mating engagement with teeth 26 on container 18.
  • a stationary or rigid lug or other stop means may be provided adjacent offset extension 68 whereby it would be necessary for the user to precisely position his finger on the tab or extension to disengage the looking tooth 70.
  • the rigid lug would prevent the tab from moving downwardly a sufficient amount for disengagement.
  • ring 65' wouldoperate in a manner analogous to the previous embodiments where the stop means are provided on the offset extension itself around the hinged tab.
  • the stop means for tab 68 may be integral with the container or may be thickened or rigid extensions of ring 65.
  • the container may have a undercut molded thereon and the locking ring may snap over the undercut.
  • the locking rings may incorporate teeth which bite into the container.
  • the ring may be provided with teeth which mate the gaps provided on the container or vice versa, or various camming surfaces may be provided between the ring and container. If desired it is also possible to utilize the concepts of this invention by making the locking means integral with the container to assure retention of the hinged tab to the container.
  • the locking ring is preferably made from a hard stiff material.
  • the locking tooth be made of a material which is strong enough to withstand repeated use particularly without rounding off the corners of the tooth. It is possible, however, to utilize the concepts of this invention with materials that range from the very pliant to the very hard, although varying degrees of effectiveness would thereby be attained.
