Definitions
- This invention relates to container innerseals, which are used in conjunction with a conventional threaded-on cap to provide an airtight, hermetically closed seal for containers. More specifically, the invention relates to an improved innerseal for a container which promotes ease of removal in conjunction with improved sealability for containers on which it is applied relative those innerseals which were heretofore known.
- closures which incorporate an innerseal bonded with an adhesive to an upper container rim.
- a filled container after being capped is passed through an electromagnetic field generated by induction heating equipment, which heats a foil layer within the innerseal, thereby bringing about the melting of a heat sealable polymeric film coating.
- One system of this type which has met with significant commercial success bears the trademark "Safe-Gard", and is manufactured by the Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company of St. Paul, Minnesota. This system provides a hermetic seal that is suitable for use with ingestible commodities.
- the seal is particularly effective for products which should be preferably kept free from contamination, oxidation and/or moisture.
- it is difficult to effectively control the adhesive force by which such innerseals are bonded to the containers, due to the dependency of the sealing force on the amount of inductive power that is applied. Accordingly, it has previously been necessary to maintain strict control over the amount of power that is applied during sealing of such containers, and a wide range of seal tightness may result even if the power range is effectively controlled.
- the amount of sealing force which could be used was limited by the fact that a proportional amount of force was needed to remove the innerseal from the container by the end user. As a result such seals had to be penetrated or scraped off with a sharp implement such as a knife. This problem was compounded by the inconsistency of sealing forces from container to container and the limitations on sealing force as discussed above.
- a sealed container of the type which is provided with a safety innerseal includes a container body having an upper rim; and an innerseal including a body portion adapted for fitting over the upper rim, the body portion including membrane structure for preventing passage of fluid through the body portion, structure adapted for bonding the body portion against the upper rim of the container; the bonding structure including a first bonding portion which is bonded to the rim with a first bonding force and a second bonding portion which is adhered to the first bonding portion with a second bonding force, the second bonding force being less than the first bonding force, the first bonding portion having a rupture strength that is less than either of the second bonding force and the first bonding force, and gripping structure attached to an outer periphery of the body portion whereby the sealing structure will delaminate internally during removal from a container.
- a method for forming a sealed container of the type which includes a safety innerseal includes the steps of providing a container body having an upper rim; placing an innerseal constructed as detailed above over the upper rim; and passing the container and innerseal through a heating station, whereby the innerseal is sealed onto the container body to form a tight, effective closure.

- FIGURE 6 is a graphical representation depicting opening force versus sealing power for the invention and a sealing arrangement which is previously known;
- FIGURE 7 is a perspective view of a work station for applying and sealing innerseals according to the invention.
- a container 10 having a neck portion 12 and a rim 14 includes a raised helical thread 16 formed upon neck portion 12 over which an appropriate sealing cap with mating threads may be applied, as is known throughout the art.
- a sealing arrangement 18 is provided for bonding an orifice defined in container 10 by rim 14.
- Sealing arrangement 18 includes a removable innerseal 20 having a circular body portion 22 and a flexible tab portion 24, as is shown in Figure 1.
- Body portion 22 is sized so as to extend over the full extent of the orifice and over rim 14.
- Tab portion 24 is connected to body portion 22 at an outer peripheral edge thereof, as is shown in Figure 1, and in the preferred embodiment is formed from the same continuously extending layered material as is body portion 22.
- a sealing or bonding layer which includes a first bonding portion and a second bonding portion.
- the first bonding portion adheres to rim 14 with a first bonding force, and to the second bonding portion with a second bonding force which is less than the first bonding force.
- the first bonding portion has a rupture strength that is less than either of the first or second bonding forces.
- the sealing layer is adhered to the remainder of the body portion with a third bonding force that is greater than the second bonding force.
- FIG. 2 is a fragmentary cross-sectional view of the layers which together form innerseal 20.
- a first bonding portion such as a sealing layer 26 of heat sealable material is provided on a lower surface of innerseal 20 for bonding to the upper rim 14 of container 10.
- sealing layer 26 is formed of a multilayer polymeric film such as polyethylene or polyester and has a thickness of between 0.5-4 mils (0.0127-0.102 mm). Most preferably, the thickness of sealing layer 26 is approximately 1 mil (0.0254 mm).

- This delaminated area is depicted in Figure 5 a ⁇ a ⁇ tripped surface 38.
- a portion 36 of seal material remains adhered to the rim 14. Because the rupture strength of sealing layer 26 is les ⁇ than either of the abovementioned bonding forces, as tab portion 24 is pulled further upwardly, the sealing layer 26 is caused to rupture and then to tear progressively around the inner edge of rim 14, until the body portion 22 is completely removed from container 10. The delaminated layer 36 of seal material will remain adhered to rim 14 and will not interfere with removal of material from container 10.
- delamination is caused to occur within sealing layer 26 when tab portion 24 is grasped and pulled upwardly.
- delamination ha ⁇ been found to occur ⁇ ub ⁇ tantially along the interface between the two component layer ⁇ of polye ⁇ ter within the film, with the exception that a certain amount of ⁇ plitting occurs into the lower layer during delamination.

Abstract
La présente invention, qui se rapporte à une membrane de fermeture intérieure hermétique facilement retirable pour récipients et à son procédé d'application, décrit un agencement amélioré comportant une partie de corps (22) destinée à s'adapter sur le bord supérieur de l'ouverture d'un récipient, ainsi qu'un élément flexible (24) fixé à la partie de corps et destiné à être saisi par l'utilisateur. La partie de corps est pourvue d'une couche adhésive inférieure, qui comporte une première partie adhésive (26) et une seconde partie adhésive (28) collée à la première partie, ainsi qu'une couche (30) destinée à empêcher le fluide de passer à travers ledit corps. La force adhésive entre les première et seconde parties adhésives est conçue plus faible que la force adhésive entre la couche adhésive et le récipient. En outre, la résistance à la rupture de la première partie adhésive est inférieure à l'une comme à l'autre des forces adhésives. Il en résulte que la force requise pour retirer la membrane de fermeture intérieure hermétique du récipient ne dépend pas de la quantité de chaleur appliquée pendant le scellage, car le décollage des couches se produit entre les deux parties adhésives dans une région située sur le bord (14) de l'ouverture du récipient, ce qui laisse un reste de la première partie adhésive fixé audit bord. En saisissant l'élément flexible et en le tirant vers le haut, l'utilisateur peut retirer la membrane de fermeture intérieure du récipient, sans qu'il soit nécessaire de trouer ou de gratter ladite membrane de fermeture au moyen d'un objet tranchant, auquel il faut fréquemment recourir pour retirer les membranes de fermeture intérieure hermétique du type habituellement utilisé aujourd'hui. Le procédé d'application d'une telle fermeture consiste à appliquer la partie de corps de la membrane de fermeture intérieure autour du bord de l'ouverture du récipient et à faire passer le récipient à travers un poste d'application de chaleur du type à induction.
