Definitions

  • ABSTRACT A bottle and cap combination wherein the upper region of the body of the bottle is elliptical or oblong, the neck of the bottle is elliptical and is joined to the body by a shoulder portion having sloping sides; and the cap comprises a hollow cup-shaped member having a downwardly-extending skirt a snap-lock liquidtight sealing arrangement internal of the skirt and at least one internal rib which is adapted to ride over the shoulder portion and which rib also serves as a guide means to position the cap on the bottle.
  • SHEET 1 (IF 3 ma ma PATENIED Mm 319m SHEET 2 BF 3 PATENIED RUE 3 m4 SHEET 3 [1F 3 Fig/i1. Fi/IZ. i913.
  • This invention relates to bottle closures wherein the cap is adapted to be easily gripped in the hand and removed by a simple twisting motion through not more than 90 and wherein the upper part of the bottle is adapted so that the cap is easily aligned with the bottle when being placed or replaced thereon.
  • the bottle comprises a body, a shoulder portion and a neck, the shoulder portion commencing inwards from the top of the body thereby leaving a peripheral ledge at the uppermost boundary of the body, and wherein the shoulder portion and the upper region of the body immediately adjacent to the shoulder have half-turn symmetry about a vertical axis of the bottle such that their plan view is substantially elliptical or oblong the shoulder having a convex surface along any vertical plane parallel to the minor axis of the elliptical or oblong plan and extending upwards to merge into the neck of circular crosssection; and wherein the cap is made of resilient plastic material and comprises an inverted hollow cup-shaped member having a downwardly extending skirt the lower edge of which skirt conforms with the peripherical ledge on the body of the bottle and snap-lock liquidtight sealing arrangement interval of the skirt to close the aperture of the bottle
  • the snap-lock sealing arrangement may not enter into full engagement without damage to the arrangement. particularly if the bottle is of some hard material such as glass. Moreover, the cap may sometimes be forced onto the bottle in an unsightly non-aligned position. It has now been found that these disadvantages can be overcome by some modification to the previous design, the principal one of which is to provide the bottle with a neck of elliptical, rather than of circular, cross-section as hitherto.
  • the present invention provides a bottle and cap combination wherein the bottle comprises a body, a shoulder portion and a neck leading to an orifice, the upper region of the body of the bottle immediately adjacent to the shoulder being substantially elliptical or oblong, the neck portion being substantially elliptical with its major axis parallel to and smaller than the major axis of the upper region of the body and the shoulder portion having sloping sides joining the upper region of the body with the neck and the cap is made of resilient plastic material and comprises a hollow cupshaped member having a downwardly-extending skirt, the lower edge of which substantially conforms with the upper region of the body of the bottle, a snap-lock liquid-tight sealing arrangement internal of the skirt to close the orifice of the bottle neck and at least one internal rib which is adapted to ride over the shoulder portion and which rib also serves as a guide means to position the cap on the bottle such that it is fixed thereon with the major axis of the cap skirt coincident with that of the upper region of the bottle body.
  • the upper region of the body terminates in a peripheral ledge with which the lower edge of the cap skirt conforms.
  • the major axis of the neck of the bottle is slightly greater than the minor axis of the lower edge of the cap skirt.
  • the bottle orifice is circular.
  • the ribs Preferably there are two internal ribs each shorter than and connecting the inner sides of the skirt of the cap and projecting downwardly from the top of the cap parallel to, and on either side of, the minor axis of the other edge of the skirt.
  • the ribs terminate in a concave or V-shaped position adapted to cooperate with the shoulders of the bottle at the ends of the major axis thereof.
  • the bottle may be made of any suitable material such as glass or plastic. Such plastic may be of high, medium or low density so that rigid or flexible bottles may be used.
  • the cap is constructed of a resilient material.
  • a preferred material is plastic, suitable plastic materials including high density polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinylchloride and the like.
  • FIG. 1 is a frontal view of the upper region of the bottle with the cap in position
  • FIG. 2 is a side view of the upper region of the bottle I with the cap in position
  • FIG. 3 is a plan of the upper region of the bottle with the cap removed;
  • FIG. 4 is a vertical section along the line AA in FIG.
  • HO. 5 is a vertical section along the line BB in FIG.
  • FIG. 6 is a plan view of the inside of the cap
  • FIG. 7 is a vertical section through the major axis in FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 8 is a vertical section along the line CC in FIG.
  • FIG. 9 is a frontal view of the upper region of an alternative bottle with the cap in position.
  • FIG. 10 is a frontal view of the upper region of the bottle shown in FIG. 9 with the cap removed.
  • FIGS. 11 and 12 show the two side views of the upper region of the bottle shown in FIG. 9
  • FIG. 13 is a vertical section through the major axis in FIG. 9.
  • a cap (I) made of plastic is provided for fitting on a bottle (2).
  • the body of the bottle has a generally elliptical plan section.
  • the shoulder portion (4) and the neck portion (5) of the bottle also have generally elliptical plan sections as shown in FIG. 3, those two elliptical forms being essential features of the present invention.
  • the minor axes of these ellipses do not differ greatly, but the major axes of plan sections of the shoulder portion decrease progressively between the peripheral ledge (3) (or the upper part of the body if the ledge is not present) to the base of the neck portion, that is the shoulders in front elevation view have sloping sides.
  • the neck portion (5) has substantially vertical sides, though at its upper end it has side bevels (9) so that the mouthpiece (6) annular flange (7) and orifice (8) are each substantially circular.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 show side views of it in position on the bottle
  • FIG. 5 shows a plan view of the inside, the top outside plan being a plan ellipse of the same outside dimension as that shown in FIG. 5.
  • the cap comprises an inverted hollow plastic cup with an elliptical top surface (10) and downwardly extending side walls or skirt (11).
  • Inside the cap are two strengthening ribs l2) and 13) which are substantially rectangular in shape except for a trough-shaped cut-out portion (14) at the bottom.
  • the inclined surfaces of the cut-out are labelled on rib (12) as faces (15) and (16). The slope and position of these faces (15) and (16).
  • the cap also has an inwardly extending plug in the form of a short cylindrical wall (17) extending from and integral with the top surface (10). When the cap is on the bottle, this cylindrical plug fits inside the delivery aperture of the neck of the bottle. Concentric with this cylindrical plug (17) is a second sealing member in the form of a cylindrical wall (18) of larger diameter than (17) and which itself carries an annular inwardly extending bead (19). When the cap is in position on the bottle, the annular flange (7) of the neck is gripped between the cylindrical plug (17) and the cylindrical wall (18) with bead (19) of the cap.
  • the mode of fitting the cap to the bottle is to place the cap over the neck of the bottle and then apply a simple downward push.
  • the downward push will cause the faces of the trough cut out of the ribs (12) and (13) to press against the bottle shoulder (4) and the natural tendency will be for the cap ribs to ride down the slope of the shoulder to centralise the cap above the major vertical sectional axis of symmetry of the bottle.
  • the cap cannot be applied wrongly.
  • FIGS. 9 13 An alternative form of closable bottle and its caps are shown in FIGS. 9 13. This particular alternative form dispenses with the half-turn symmetry of the embodiment of the invention described above.
  • this second form of bottle has a neck portion (5a) and shoulder portion (4a) that are longer on one side of the minor axis than on the other, this results in the peripheral ledge (30) sloping downward.
  • the bottle is as described above.
  • FIGS. 9, 11, and 12 The outer shape of the cap to fit this bottle may be appreciated from FIGS. 9, 11, and 12 where it may be seen that the skirt (11a) extends downward further on one side of the minor axis than on the other and so enable the cap to fit flush with the bottle. Inside the cap the one strengthening rib extends downward further than the other strengthening rib (1211). Apart from these features the cap is as previously described.
  • the mode of fitting the cap to the bottle is to place the cap over the neck of the bottle with the long side of the skirt over the side of the bottle with the deepest neck portion (5a) and shoulder portion (4a) and then push down.
  • the downward push will cause the faces of the trough cuts out of the ribs (12a) and (13a) to press against the bottle shoulder (411) so that the cap ribs will ride down the shoulder slopes and centralise the cap above the major vertical sectional axis of symmetry of the bottle.
  • the cap cannot be applied wrongly.
  • an alternative construction is, for example, one wherein the shoulder is concave along the line of the major axis.
  • the effect will still be the same, namely that the troughshaped cut-out in the ribs will ride up the convex shoulder causing the cap to be lifted upwards and off the bottle.
  • the shape of the cap is such that it can be held easily in the hand even when wet or slippery.
  • Various other modifications can be made to the bottle neck and cap without departing from the inventive principle.
  • the elliptical plane shape of the bottle and cap illustrative above can be varied slightly making the plan view nearer to a rectangle.
  • the walls of the cylindrical plug (17) need not contain a hollow area but meet so as to form a solid projection extending downwards from the top surface (10) of the cap.
  • This projection may be of large or small diameter as long as it fits into and substantially seals the orifice (8) of the bottle.
  • a bottle and cap combination wherein the bottle comprises a body having a shoulder portion and a neck leading to an orifice, the upper region of the body im- .member having a downwardly-extending skirt, the
  • a bottle and cap combination according to claim 1 wherein the cap of the body of the bottle, the shoulder and the neck portion are substantially elliptical in plan, the orifice is circular, the shoulder portion commencing inwards from the top of the body thereby leaving a peripheral ledge at the uppermost portion of the body, the cap being provided with two internal-ribs each shorter than and connecting the inner sides of the skirt of the cap and projecting downwardly from the top of the cap parallel to, and one of the ribs being on each side of, the minor axis of the other edge of the skirt and which ribs have a substantially trough-shaped cut-out 'at their base adapted to co-operate with the shoulders of the bottle on the major axis thereof.
