Definitions

  • Food storage containers including those formed of plastic materials, have been available for many years and have generally employed a bowl, cylinder or similarly shaped tubular vessel and a separate closure or lid made of a relatively flexible material.
  • the closures for such vessels have normally been of several types.
  • One of these types includes an inverted peripheral groove that is placed upon the top edge or rim of a container wall and is pressed onto or expanded over that edge to form a hermetic seal between two parts.
  • the application of such a closure usually requires that the user apply pressure all around the periphery of the closure to effectively seat same upon the container.
  • Another typical closure is the two position type which may be flexed to either of two stable positions.
  • the closure may be easily placed over the rim or within the open-mouth of a container, and then may be flexed to the second position. This flexing action either expands or contracts the peripheral portions of the closure and forces it into tight locking contact with the rim or inside container wall.
  • Others include the cork-like and toggle action closures which loosely fit into the open mouth of a container and which are thereafter expanded into contact with the container inside wall surfaces.
  • this invention provides a sealing closure that is, in all respects, a compromise between the known prior art closures and incorporates the best features of those mentioned above.
  • the construction enables the user to apply a closure to a container simply by applying pressure at the approximate center of the closure top wall.
  • This new closure further includes several distinctive constructional features which enhance its applicability for use in larger sizes.
  • the improvement relates to the inclusion of a secondary sealing bead to the outside surface of the inner sealing wall. This additional bead compliments the sealing effect of the primary bead and completely effects the desired hermetic seal.
  • FIG. 1 is a top view of a closure construction incorporating the concepts of this invention
  • FIG. 2 is a bottom view of the closure shown in FIG.
  • FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the closure taken along line 3-3 in FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 4 is an enlarged partial cross-section of the center main wall area of the closure taken along line 44 in FIG. 1.
  • FIG. 5 is a partial enlarged cross-section of the closure area bounded by line 5-5 in FIG. 3;
  • FIG. 6 is a partial enlarged cross-section of the closure area bounded by line 6-6 in FIG. 3;
  • FIG. 7 is a partial enlarged cross-section of the closure taken along line 7-7 of FIG. 5;
  • FIG. 8 is a partial enlarged cross-section of the closure area bounded by line 8-8 in FIG. 2.
  • the closure member 10 which includes essentially three functional parts, a peripheral inverted U-shaped groove or lip 12, a center main wall 14, including the flutes 16, and a centrally positioned substantially planar or button area 18 in that center main wall.
  • These flutes or corrugations 16 emanate from the substantially planar area 18 and terminate at, in or as the inner seal wall 20.
  • the seal wall 20 forms a part of the lip 12 and it is portions of this lip that effect the seal between the closure 10 and its mating container (not shown).
  • the inner seal wall 20 forms a portion of the lip 12 in closure member 10.
  • This lip and the U-shaped groove are completed by an outer wall 22 and an interconnecting substantially horizontally disposed top wall 24.
  • the outer surface 26 of wall 20 is adapted for mating engagement with the inner wall of the open mouth of a suitable container (not shown). This engagement, of course, creates the hermetic seal spoken of and thus produces a highly desirable storage container especially suited for the storage of foodstuffs.
  • the outer and top walls 22 and 24, respectively function to properly position the closure on the container.
  • center main wall 14 The structural aspects of the center main wall 14 are virtually identical to those described in the above noted patents. Accordingly, upon the application of pressure to the planar area 18, the flutes will tend to collapse upon one another thus displacing the inner seal wall 20 inwardly with them. Furthermore, the diameter of at least a portion of the inner seal wall 20 is larger than that of its mating container so that the subsequent sealing relationship can be formed therebetween. Seemingly, the entire center main wall 14 would continue to collapse with an umbrella-like result if it were not for the reinforcing and stiffening effect of the side wall 20 and lip 12. Despite this restraining effect, the corrugated wall 14 continues to function as described and, in fact, the resilient return of the closure to its approximate as molded size and shape after each distortion is presumably aided by the noted side wall 20.
  • the inner seal wall 20 also includes an outwardly protruding bead 28 which extends around the periphery of outer surface 26 of side wall 20.
  • this bead 28 has a tendency to distort slightly.
  • Such distortion is theorized to be caused due to variances in the shrinkage of the center main wall 14.
  • the end result of that distortion is the creation of microscopic openings between the container wall and sealing bead 28.
  • the present invention contemplates the further inclusion of a secondary sealing bead 30 above the first or primary bead 28.
  • This secondary bead is also integral with inner seal wall 20 of lip 12, and preferably is positioned on that wall in an area where the effect of shrinkage distortion is minimized.
  • the primary bead 28 is also positioned slightly above the uppermost point of intersection of the center main wall 14 and inner seal wall 20. Accordingly, in such embodiment both beads 28, 30 would be positioned so as to be affected by the effect of shrinkage on wall 20.
  • beads 28 and 30 form separate spaced apart, continuous annular rings around the exterior surface of wall 20. These rings also, as is readily apparent, lie within the bounds of the U-shaped groove walls 22 and 24. Further, it is thus apparent that bead 28 is constructed to provide a'maximum sealing surface, while the bead 30 is designed as a more flexible supplementary element. Note, in particular, that this secondary bead 30 is of finger-like construction and projects downwardly into the U-shaped groove opening at approximately a 45 angle.
  • FIGS. 2, S, 7 and 8 Another aspect of construction which may be employed with closures of this type is clearly exhibited in FIGS. 2, S, 7 and 8.
  • the ribs 32 are exposed and may be seen to extend from wall 20 along the underside of wall 24 and then downwardly along the inside of outer wall 22. These ribs are spaced at selected intervals around the lip so that air can be easily expelled from the container (not shown) as the closure 10 is applied. Note, in particular, that by extending the ribs 32 down the outer wall 22, sealing between that wall and the container 20 is prevented during the application of the closure. This enables a maximum of air to be displaced from the container and thus creates a more desirable inside condition in the container subsequent to its being sealed by closure wall 22 and beads 28 and 30.
  • a locally distortable plastic closure contractably and distensibly constructed and having an elasticity such that it is adapted to hermetically seal an openmouthed member and comprising:
  • a center main wall including a corrugated area emanating from a center portion thereof toward a peripherally extending wall, said center main wall being adapted for the application of pressure to the approximate center thereof in such manner that said corrugated area tends to collapse upon itself and substantially uniformly displace said peripherally extending wall until said closure is easily positionable on an open-mouthed member;
  • first and second integral extended sealing beads positioned around said peripherally extending Wall, said sealing beads being displaceable in like manner with said peripherally extending wall such that at least a portion of said sealing means is closely engageable with and scalable against the walls of an open-mouthed member due to'the resiliency and elasticity of said closure upon the discontinuance of applied pressure to said center main wall and wherein said secondary annular sealing bead is angularly disposed .with respect to the horizontal, is of a more narrow cross-sectional configuration than the first sealing bead and is positioned above the first such bead.
