Definitions
- Another object of this invention is to provide a novel childproof closure combination of the type heretofore described wherein the fitment includes means for securing the same to an associated container in the form of a plurality of radially inwardly directed generally hollow resilient lugs which prevent removal of the fitment from an associated container but also permit ease of assembly of the unified closure and fitment after the 1 minimum level of effectiveness at 85% for children receiving no opening instructions and 80% after instruc-' must also be able to open and reclose childproof-or v child-resistant packages.
- a novel childproof closure combination which includes a closure and a cooperative annular fitment, the closure having an end panel and a depending peripheral skirt terminating in one or more enlarged beads, and the fitment having a groove for interlockingly receiving the bead or beads whereby when united 'to a .conventional container has been filled with a desired product.
- Still another object of this invention is to provide a novel childproof closure combination of the type heretofore set forth wherein the end panel of the closure includes a generally frusto-conical sealing rim for adapting the combination particularly in conjunction with the packaging of liquid products.
- 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 accordande with this invention prior to the pre-assembly of the closure and fitment to each other and the subsequent assembly thereof upon the container finish.
- FIG. 2 is a fragmentary side elevational view partially in cross section and broken away for clarity illustrating the assembled closure, fitment and container along with cooperative cam means for imparting axial relative movement to the closure and fitment.
- FIG. 3 is a bottom plan view of the closure, and illustrates four beads carried by a peripheral skirt of the closure for interlocking with a groove of the fitment.
- FIG. 4 is a top plan view of the fitment, and illustrates a groove for receiving the beads of the closure and four cams for imparting relative axial movement to theinterlocked closure and fitment during an opening operation.
- FIG. 5 is a fragmentary perspective sectional view of a portion of the fitment, and illustrates the groove thereof and one of the associated cams.
- FIG. 7 is an enlarged .fragmentary sectional view of the assembled'closure, fitment and container finish.
- peripheral skirt interlockingly engages beneath a bead of the container finish.
- FIG. 8 is an enlarged fragmentary sectional view similar to FIG. 7, and illustrates in solid outline the manner in which the cams uncouple the peripheral skirt beads from the groove resulting in the removal of the lugs of the closure from beneath the container finish bead incident to the complete removal of the closure, as shown in phamton outline.
- a novel childproof or safety closure combination constructed in accordance with this invention is generally designated by the reference numeral 10 (FIG. 1) and includes a closure 11 and an annular fitment 12 which are adapted to be coupled to each other (FIGS. 2 and 6) for subsequent application to a finish 14 of a container 15 (FIGS. 1 and 7).
- the container 15 is of a conventional construction and may be formed of polymeric or copolymeric material, such as polyethylene, polystyrene, or simply a standard glass container which includes an inner surface 16, an uppermost lip 17, and an outermost surface 18 defining a lowermost annular seat or shoulder 20 facing axially upwardly in opposed relationship to a similar annular seat or shoulder 21 of a circumferential bead 22 having an uppermost included surface 23 (FIG. 6).
- the annular fitment 12 is constructed for application to the container finish 14, and when once applied thereto is confined to the area generally between the shoulders 20, 21 as will be described more fully hereinafter.
- the closure 1 1 of the childproof closure combination 10 includes an end panel 24 joined by a radius 25 to a peripheral skirt 26 having four cut out portions or notches 27 each defined by an axial wall 28 and a circumferentially inclined wall 29 with the latter serving as a cam, cam surface, ramp or incline for imparting axial relative movement between the closure 11 and the fitment 12 in a manner to be described more fully hereinafter.
- An enlarged bead 30 is carried by the peripheral skirt 26 between each adjacent pair of notches 27.
- Each bead 30 is cooperative with a groove to be described more fully hereinafter of the fitment 12 to maintain the closure 11 and the fitment l2 interlockingly coupled to each other until such time as the intentional uncoupling thereof is desired.
- the closure 11 is provided interiorly thereof with a generally frusto-conical sealing rib 32 (FIGS. 1 and 3) which is adapted to sealingly engage against the interior is defined by an inner annular wall 36, an outer annular wall 37 having a plurality of axial ribs 38 therein, and a bight wall 40.
- the walls 36, 37 and 40 (FIG. 7) set off an axially upwardly opening circumferential groove 41 which is generally of a circular cross sectional configuration having a closed bottom portion (unnumsurface 16 of the container finish 14, in the manner il- 'lustrated in solid outline in FIG. 8.
- a plurality of axially bered which narrows in an upward direction toward a narrower entrance portion 42 which in turn narrows with an upwardly and radially outwardly flared wall portion 43.
- an identical cam 45 (FIG. 4 and 5) which has a cam surface 46 inclined axially upwardly and circumferentially from the bottommost portion (unnumbered) of the groove 41 toward, through and beyond the top entrance portion 41 and terminating slightly short of an uppermost lip 48 of the annular wall 37.
- Each cam 45 also has an axial wall 49 which serves as a stop or abutment to prevent rotation of the closure in a clockwise direction, in a manner to be described more fully hereinafter.
- each means 50 is a radially inwardly directed lug or wall of a hollow construction, as is best illustrated in FIGS. 6 and 8 with the hollow construction being achieved by an axially upwardly opening slot or groove 51 in each lug 50.
- the latter construction forms a resilient wall 52 which may be deflected outwardly during the application of the fitment 12 when coupled to the closure 11 upon the container finish 14, as will be described more fully hereinafter.
- the notches 27 are formed to generally the same size and shape as the cams 45.
- the surfaces 29, 28 of the notches 27 correspond in contour and extent to the surface 46 and the wall 49 of each of the cams 45, as is most readily apparentrin FIG. 2 of the drawings.
- the closure 11 and fitment 12 are assembled by first aligning each notch 27 with an associated one of the cams 45 and moving the .closure 11 and the fitment 12 axially relatively toward each other such that the beads 30 progressively enter the area between the walls 36, 37 of the fitment 12 passing through the entrance portion 42 and snap-seat within the groove 41. In this position (FIG.
- each cam 45 is received inan associated notch 27 and the now assembled combination 10 may be applied to the finish 14 of the container 15 after the latter has been appropriately packaged with a desired product, be it solid or liquid.
- the packager simply telescopes the pre-assembled closure 11 and fitment 12 down upon the finish l4 whereupon the surface 23 of the lug 22 of the finish 14 depresses the wall 52 of each of the means 50 radially outwardly to permit the fitment 12 to pass beyond the lug 22 into the area between the shoulders 18, 20L During the same telescopic motion the lugs 34 on the interior of the peripheral skirt 26 of the closure 11v pass the same lug 22 and snap therebeneath in the locked position, in the manner clearly shown in FIG. 7.
- This same assembly of the closure and fitment to the container finish also positions the sealing lip 32 internally of the container finish in engagement with the inner surface 16 to form a seal therewith.
- Rotation imparted to the closure 11 per se in either a counterclockwise or clockwise direction will result in like simultaneous rotation of the fitment 12 because the latter loosely surrounds the finish 14 and actually contacts the exterior surface 18 at four minor points established by the peaks (unnumbered) of the walls 52 of the four lugs 50.
- rotation imparted in either direction to the fitment 12 per se or rotation imparted in either direction by simultaneously rotating both the fitment l2 and the closure 11 results in simultaneous rotation without in any way achieving the removal of the closure 11 from the container 15.
- a youngster when uninitiated will find it virtually impossible to remove the combined closure and fitment from the container 15.
- the closure 11 as well as the fitment 12 are constructed from polymeric or copolymeric material, such as polyethylene.
