Definitions
- a bottle as by screw threads and the movable part, when in open position, allows flow of the substance; when in closed position, such flow is interrupted.
- the fixed part has passage means in communication with the interior of the container and the movable part has passage means in communication with atmosphere.
- a valve intermediate these passage means and having its inlet and outlet sides in communication therewith is adapted to be opened or closed for flow or termination of flow respectively.
- the movable part is shifted to open by pulling thereon and to closed by pushing thereon. Hence, the application, pull-push.
- the movable part is provided with an actuating head having a flange or enlargement to insure positive grip with the fingers as the part is manipulated to the outer limit of its stroke. Re-closing of the valve is accomplished by thrusting the part to the inner limit of its stroke.
- an adjunct for a dispensing closure of the pull-push type to preclude opening by a child of tender years.
- the adjunct has an upper sleeve engaged with the flange ofthe movable part of the closure in all positions thereof.
- the adjunct is provided with a flexible, upper sleeve surrounding the head of the movable part in order that the upper sleeve may be collapsed by digital squeezing force into contact with the head and the movable part thus shifted to open.
- the adjunct is retained in position on the closure by forming the same integrally with another sleeve engaged over the base or fixed part of the closure, but capable of axial shifting jointly with the movable part.
- the upper sleeve has an internal groove of such cross sectional configuration as to receive and retain the flange or other enlargement on the head of the movable part of the closure.
- the movable part is shifted jointly therewith. Since the exterior surface of the upper sleeve is made smooth the child is unable to apply sufficient grip to pull the movable part to open position, since he is obliged not only to overcome friction inherent in the closure but to deform and maintain the resilient adjunct in operative position. To this end, it may be desirable to conform such exterior surface to a conical surface, with the smaller diameter outwardly whereby the child would encounter even greater difficulty in maintaining a satisfactory grasp.
- adjunct is so configured as to be capable of rapid assembly with the closure by the use of automatic machinery.
- FIG. 1 is a combined cross section and side elevation of the closure with the adjunct attached and in closed position;
- FIG. 2 is a view similar to FIG. 1, but in'open position
- FIG. 3 is a bottom plan view as seen in the direction of the arrows 33;
- FIG. 4 is a bottom plan view as seen in the direction of the arrows 44;
- FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the closure and adjunct depicted in FIGS. 1 to 4;
- FIG. 6 is a combined cross section and side elevation of an alternative embodiment in closed"condition
- FIG. 7 is a view similar to FIG. 6, but in open condition
- FIG. 8 is a top plan view of the closure and adjunct of FIG. 6;
- FIG. 9 is a combined side elevation and cross section of a modified form of adjunct.
- FIG. 10 shows a combined side elevation and cross section of another embodiment
- FIG. 11 shows still another embodiment.
- FIGS. 1 and 2 there is shown a typical pull-push closure 10 actuatable between non-dispensing and dispensing positions, i.e., off and on", as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 respectively.
- the closure 10 has a fixed part 11, in this case, a skirt 12, by means of which the closure is secured to an appropriate portion of the container 15, in this case, a neck 16.
- the skirt may be secured by means of screw-threads, as at 17, a bayonet joint or by being molded integrally with the container. Since the mode of securement per se forms no part of the invention and many types are well known, further elucidation will be omitted.
- the movable part 21 is connected to the fixed part for sliding movement between limit stops (not shown) allowing for a stroke S. Such stroke will be sufficient to permit a desired rate of flow of the substance from the container 15 to the exterior of the closure through a valve (not shown). Since many different forms of valve are known in the art and the same per se forms no part tic composition characterized by resiliency and shape retention may be utilized. Such characteristics are sometimes referred to as plastic memory. Resins such as polyethylene and polypropylene have been found suitable.
- the adjunct is desirably a one'piece device comprising an upper annular sleeve 32 and a lower annular sleeve 33 joined in any suitable manner, e.g. an annular disc 34.
- the disc 34 has minimum clearance at B and is of such thickness as to insure that, upon application of axial force the adjunct moves as a unit.
- the sleeve 32 has an interior groove 38 of such transverse cross section as to receive the edge 39 of the head 22 with a snap fit of such degree as will cause the movable part 31 to shift between its two positions upon movement of the adjunct 31 up and down, it being understood that the stroke of the adjunct will be limited to the stroke of the movable part 21.
- the ears 42-42 project inwardly of sleeve 33 at diametrically opposite points (FIG. 3) and are desirably molded integrally therewith. Assuming no radial force is applied to the. skirt 33 the adjunct will be locked against axial displacement. However, upon applying pressure to the sleeve 33 at two diametrically opposite points displaced circumferentially 90 from the ears 42-42, the sleeve will become ovalized (FIG. 4) and the ears 4242 are withdrawn from under the skirt 12 whereupon the adjunct may be lifted (FIG. 2) to open the valve for dispensing. Upon reverse axial force applied at any convenient place' on the exterior of the adjunct or the topof the head 22 the closure is closed, at which time the ears 42-42 are restored to normal (FIG. 1).
- the lower face of the ears 42-42 is chamfered, as shown, whereby the same may be easily positioned as in FIG. 1 notwithstanding the presence of the corner 49 of the skirt 12.
- the diametrically opposite points XX at which finger pressure is applied to deform the sleeve 33 to ovalize the same may be in the form of bulges 5353.
- the sleeve 33 may be deformed to a greater extend than would otherwise be the case and the ears 42-42 withdrawn positively and without fouling.
- the lower sleeve61 is held permanently in a position surrounding the skirt 12 of the closure by any suitable means, such as by ears 62-62 which may be similar to the ears 42-42-previously described. Alternatively the ears 62-62 may be replaced by a rim extending over the entire circumference of the sleeve 61.
- An upper sleeve 65 surrounds the head 66 and the enlargement thereof is spaced therefrom by an amount D.
- the sleeve is united to the sleeve 61 by two ormore straps 67- 67 (FIG. 8). These latter are so dimensioned and proportioned with respect to the resiliency of the plastic utilizedthat they may flex the amount required without dislodging the sleeve 61 from the position shown.
- FIG. 9 illustrates another embodiment in which the upper sleeve 71 and lower sleeve 72 are integral with an annular disc 73.
- the stop means 75 may be ears similar to the ears 4242 of FIG. 1 or a continuous rim as pointed out in connection with FIG. 6. However, in this.
- the entire adjunct is adapted to shift axially with respect to the closure and to carry with it the head 66.
- the concurrent pinching and pulling action is as described in connection with FIG. 7.
- the closed and open positions of the parts are depicted by run and broken lines respectively.
- the interior of the sleeve 71 may be provided with a member similar to member 38 of FIG. 1 to achieve better joint gripping of the sleeve and the enlargement of the head 66.
- FIG. 10 Another mode of fabricating a child-proof pull-push closure is shown in FIG. 10.
- a base or fixed part 81 is shown as molded integrally with acontainer 82 but may be otherwise attached thereto.
- a pair of circumferential grooves 83 and 84 in the. base 81 are spaced apart a distance Z corresponding to open and closed conditions of the device.
- the head 86 corresponding to the head 66 heretofore described, is
- the movable part comprisedby the parts 86, 87 and 88 is molded of material having a plastic memory and is so dimensioned as to flex in assuming 5 its two positions to be described.
- On the underside of the'disc is a ridge 91 which is continuous or discontinuous and acts as a fulcrum 91.
- This fulcrum is lo'catedin a radial position such that some given force W applied in the region of the periphery of the skirt 88 will, through lever action, result in shifting the head 86 between closed and open positions.
- the parts are so dimensioned and proportioned as to require a force W beyond the capacity of a child of tender years, but not so great as to interfere with opening and closing of the device by an adult of reasonable capability.
- One of the cardinal features of the invention resides in the fact that opening of the closure may be accomplished with one hand, since the container may be gripped between the third, fourth and fifth digits and the thumb and second digit used to manipulate the adjunct.
- amputees, arthritics and others disabled in the use of one hand are not placed at a disadvantage by having to actuate a closure equipped with the invention adjunct.
- FIG. 11 depicts another embodiment wherein the sleeve 32 and head 22 of FIG. 1 are merged into a single part.
- the head 22a is integral with the disk 34a and the latter, in turn, has the skirt 33 and ears 4242.
- the principles of operation are as described in connectionwith FIGS. 1 and 2, except that the operative connection between the sleeve 22 and part 38 is absent.
- the exterior of the head 22a may be frusto-conical in order to render it difficult for the child to take a firm, sustained hold.
- An adjunct useful with a dispensing closure of the pull-push type for a container fora hazardous substance potentially injurious to small children having a substantially cylindrical fixed part including a skirt and means to attach the closure to the container and a substantially cylindrical movable part shiftable axially manually with respect to the fixed part between on and off" positions, first passage means in the fixed part and second passage means in the movable part and valve means common to both said passage means whereby, upon actuation of the movable part to on" position provides for flow from the container to atmosphere, and vice versa, said adjunct comprising a first sleeve substantially coextensive with said fixed part attaching means, said first sleeve comprising material which is resilient and generally shaperetaining, a second sleeve extending from the first sleeve extending outwardly from the preventing access to the movable part, means interconnecting said first and second sleeves adapted for joint axial movement, ears on said first sleeve engageable with the fixed part to retain the
