Definitions

  • the closure and fitment are preassembled prior to being interlocked upon the container finish, and the fitment includes an interior tapered lead surface which permits the fitment to flex radially outwardly whereby the bead thereof can pass inwardly of the closure beyond the lugs and into the fitment groove.
  • Another disadvantage of conventional safety closures is the ability thereof to close but not hermetically seal associated containers. This is not. overly disadvantageous when solid products are packaged, such as aspirin, solid preparations harmful to health but not hygroscopic, etc. However, under the PPPA such liquid products as furniture polish, oil of Wintergreen, sulfuric acid, harmful hygroscopic solid substances, etc., will necessarly have to be packaged in accordance with the provisions of this Act.
  • a further object of this invention is to provide a novel closure of the type immediately heretofore sct forth wherein sealing means is disposed between the closure and fitment for not only providing a seal but also for augmenting the frictional purchase therebetween to assure unified rotation of the closure and fitment except during intentional removal which necessitates relative relation between the closure and fitment.
  • Still another object of this invention is to provide a novel clousre of the type set forth wherein the closure is secured to threads of the fitment by lugs of the peripheral skirt, and the resistive means are walls aligned for abutmnet by the lugs upon rotation of the clousre in an opening direction.
  • Another object of this invention is to provide a novel safety closure of the type heretofore defined in combination with a novel container finish having means between the finish and inner peripheral fitment surface for spacing a major portion of the latter away from the finish thereby allowing a simple press-on of the cap and fitment assembly to the associate container and to provide reduced frictional purchase to permit rotation of the fitment and closure in unison.
  • FIG. 1 is an exploded view with portions broken away and shown in section for clarity, and illustrates a closure, a fitment and a container finish constructed in accordance with this invention prior to the pre-assembly of the closure and fitment and the subsequent assembly thereof upon the container finish.
  • FIG. 2 is a top plan view of the fitment of FIG. 3 with a portion broken away and shown in section for clarity, and illustrates pairs of cooperative stops for releasably retaining lugs of the closure in interlocked relationship with threads of the fitment.
  • FIG. 3 is a side elevational view of the fitment of FIG. 2, again with a portion thereof broken away for clarity, and illustrates details of the finish threads and stops.
  • FIG. 4 is a developed view of a 120 portion of the fitment, and more clearly illustrates constructural details thereof.
  • FIG. 5 is a fragmentary sectional view taken generally along the line 5--5 of FIG. 4, and illustrates the cross-sectional configuration of one pair of the stops and a portion of the thread spanning the same.
  • FIG. 6 is a perspective view of the now assembled closure and fitment with a portion thereof broken away for clarity, and illustrates the elements preassembled prior to being applied to the container finish.
  • FIG. 7 is an enlarged sectial view taken generally along the line 7-7 of FIG. 6, and illustrates in the interlocked condition the manner in which a lug of the closure lies beneath an associated thread and between a pair of the associated stops.
  • FIG. 8 is a fragmentary axial sectional view of the preassembled closure and fitment of FIGS. 6 and 7, and particularly illustrates a dimensional relationship between a tapered inner lead surface of the fitment, the finish bead, and lugs of the clousre at a position of partial assembly with the container finish.
  • FIG. 9 is a fragmentary perspective view illustrating the preassembled closure and fitment assembled to the container finish.
  • FIG. 10 is an enlarged fragmentary sectional view taken generally along the line 1010 of FIG. 9, and more clearly illustrates the assembled relationship of the components and particularly the interlocked relationship between the finish bead and the fitment groove.
  • FIG. 11 is a sectional view taken generally along the line 11-1l of FIG. 10 and illustrates the manner in which relative rotation between the closure and fitment is utilized for opening and closing purposes.
  • FIG. 12 is a top perspective view of another fitment constructed in accordance with this invention, and illustrates projections on an end face thereof.
  • FIG. 13 is a fragmentary sectional view similar to FIG. 10, but illustrates the fitment of FIG. 12 and the manner in which the projections interlock with sealing compound of the closure.
  • a novel safety closure constructed in accordance with this invention is generally designated by the reference numeral 10, and includes a closure or cap 11 and a fitment 12 therefor. When united or pre-assembled in a manner to be described more fully hereinafter the safety closure 10 is assembled upon a container 13.
  • the closure 10 is of a conventional construction and includes an end panel 14, a depending peripheral skirt l5, and an inwardly upwardly and downwardly directed curl or bead 16 which is interrrupted to define three locking lugs 17 of which only one is illustrated in the drawings.
  • the locking lugs 17 are disposed equally about the periphery of the cap 11.
  • the cap 11 is preferably constructed from metallic material and sealing compound 18 (FIG. 8) may be applied to the interior in -a conventional manner if the contents of the container 13 are liquid. Otherwise the sealing compound 18 may be eliminated, if found necessary or desirable, or substituted for with paper liner material.
  • the fitment 12 is preferably constructed from resilient polymeric or copolymeric material, such as polyethelene, and includes a generally annular body 20 having axially opposite open ends 21, 22 between which are respective inner and outer peripheral surfaces 23, 24, respectively, the former being a generally frusto-conical lead surface which cooperates with the container 13 during assembly in a manner to be de scribed hereinafter.
  • the fitment 12 additionally includes three equally spaced threads 26 which each cooperates with one of the lugs 17 for securing the closure 11 upon the fitment 12 upon the preassembly thereof prior to being capped upon the container 13.
  • Each lug 17 rides beneath its associated thread 26 and is retained therebeneath between a wall or stop 27 and a radially outwardly directed rib or stop 28. Due to the resilient nature of the material of the fitment 12 heretofore noted, the ribs 28 deflect inwardly temporarily as they are traversed by the lugs 17 when the closure 11 is rotated clockwise as viewed in FIG. 1, and thereafter the ribs 28 rebound outwardly to their normal condition after being passed by each lug 17, with each lug 17 thereby being housed between a rib 28 and the most adjacent wall 27 (FIG. 4).
  • the body 20 of the fitment l2 terminates adjacent the end 22 in a radial wall 30 and a depending peripheral skirt 31 whose outer peripheral surface includes vertical ribs 32 and whose bottom includes a plurality of projections 33 which function to facilitate the assembly of the closure 11 upon the fitment 12, as will be described more fully hereinafter.
  • An opening 29 is formed beneath each thread 26 in a conventional manner during the injection molding of the fitment 12.
  • the container or bottle 13 includes a lower bead 34 which merges with a frusto-conical wall 35 (FIG. 6) of a container neck or finish 36. Above the frusto-conical wall 35 is another annular bead 37 corresponding in shape to that of the groove 25.
  • the finish 36 terminates in an upper annular face or surface 38 which is slightly above a like annular face or surface 39 of the fitment 12 when the latter two elements are in assemblded relationship, as indicated best in FIG. 10.
  • the closure 11 and fitmnet 12 are assembled by first moving the same axially relative to each other, as indicated by the arrows 40 in FIGS. 1 and 8 such that each lug 17 becomes positioned adjacent its associated stop or rib 28, with the bead or curl l6 resting atop the uppermost surface (unnumbered) of the radial wall 30. Thereafter, the closure 11 and the fitment 12 are rotated relative to each other, as indicated by the headed arrows 41 in FIGS. 1, 7 and 8 at which time the lugs 17 ride over the stop ribs 28 until each lug 17 is positioned between the pairs of stops 27, 28, as indicated by the solid lug 17 in FIG. 11.
  • each lug 17 is confined between its associated pair of stop means 27, 28.
  • the ribs 32 and teeth or projections 33 serve as gripping surfaces for a chuck or similar holder to prevent the fitment from rotating upon the rotation of the closure 11.
  • FIG. 10 illustrates the closure 11 assembled to the fitment l2, and therefrom it will be noted that the end surface or face 39 is deflected to an inclined position, as compared to the non-deformed condition of FIG. 3.
  • the end 21 in FIGS. 7 and 8 and particularly the surface 39 thereof is inclined slightly inwardly and downwardly because of its being forced against the sealing compound 18 and embedded therein during the assembly operation heretofore described.
  • This deflection of the end 21 closes the groove 25 of the fitment l2 slightlybeyond its normal molded unassembled condition, thus insuring the ability of the fitment 12 to take up the minimum vertical tolerance of the bead 37 of the container 13 when assembled thereon.
  • the maximum tolerance is absorbed by additional compression of the sealing compound 18 during the application of the safety closure to the container finish 36, as will be described immediately hereinafter.
  • a line L1 designates a development of the maximum diameter of the groove 25 which is generally equal to the maximum diameter of the finish bead 37.
  • the line L2 which is normal to the line L1 is shown intersecting the latter at a point P1 at which the inner diameter of the surface 23 corresponds to the maximum diameters of the bead 37 and the groove 25. It will be noted that the line L2 is also above each lug 17.
  • the bead 37 is adjacent the most rigid area of the pre-assembled unit since the area immediately below the line L2 is reinforced against outward deflection by the thicker material of the fitment 12 in the area of the threads 26, and the reinforcement offered by the lug l7 and the associated curl.
  • This area is, however, virtually passed with little resistance as the bead 37 approaches point P1 and passes the same.
  • this passage resistance is lessened since lesser reinforcement of the fitment 12 occurs above the line L2 than below the same. Accordingly, the upper portion of the body above the line L2 will deflect radially outwardly as the finish is guided toward the groove by the leading surface 23.
  • the bead 37 reaches the groove 25 it rebounds therein, in the manner best illustrated in FIG. 10.
  • the relationship of the components permit as in no other known assembly of this type the unified assembly of the pre-assembly 11, 12 upon the container finish 36.
  • the closure of this invention is designed specifically to achieve a seal when the package contents are liquids or hygroscopic solid substances harmful to human beings.
  • a primary sealing area PSA is indicated by dashed lines between the container 13 and the compound 18 while outboard thereof is a secondary sealing area SSA between the end face 39 of the fitment 12 with an unnumbered transition sealing area between the sealing areas PSA and SSA.
  • the secondary sealing area SSA is actually achieved initally during the pre-assembly of the fitment and closure, in the manner shown in FIG. 7.
  • a gap G is formed between the exterior surface of the finish 36 of the container 13 and the inner lead surface 23 of the fitment 12 due to the manner in which the inmost edge (unnumbered) of the wall 30 bears on the frusto-conical wall 35 (FIG. 10).
  • the wall 35 prevents the body 20 from moving inwardly and thus reduces frictional purchase between the fitment and the finish to create a looseness for additionally permitting utilized rotation of the cap 11 and fitment 12.
  • the wall 35 also continually urges the fitment 12 upwardly and maintains the seal at the face 39.
  • FIG. 12 Another container, fitment and closure is illustrated in FIG. 12 and like primed reference numerals have been applied thereto.
  • the only difference between this fitment and that of FIGS. 1 through 7 is the inclusion on the annular end face 39' of a plurality of projections 45 having gradually inclined camming surfaces 46 rising axially outwardly in a clockwise circumferential direction with each surface 46 terminating in an abrupt axial wall 47.
  • the projections 45 embed in the sealing compound 18. Since the surfaces 46 slope in the direction described, clockwise rotation of the closure 11', as viewed in FIG. 9, is impossible due to each of the lugs (not shown) corresponding to the lugs 17 being urged into abutment with an associated wall 27' of the fitment 12.
  • a safety closure comprising a generally annular fitment having inner and outer peripheral surfaces and axially opposite open ends, said inner peripheral surface includes means for slip securing said fitment to a container finish, said outer peripheral surface includes means for 'rotatably coupling a closure thereto, a closure seated upon said fitment and having an end panel and a peripheral skirt with the latter including means for cooperatively connecting said closure to said fitment coupling means, said closure being rotatable in a first direction relative to said fitment for coupling engagement therewith, and abutment means between said closure and fitment resistive to rotation of said closure relative to said fitment in a second direction opposite to said first direction whereby upon the application of opening force to said closure tending to rotate the same in said second direction said closure and fitment will rotate in unison due to the slip securement of said fitment to an associated container finish.
  • said inner peripheral surface is generally of a frustoconical configuration enlarging in a direction away from one of said open ends adapted to be disposed most adjacent the mouth of an associated container finish.
  • closure connecting means are a plurality of lugs
  • resistive means are walls aligned for abutment by said lugs upon rotation of said closure in said second direction.
