Definitions

  • the present invention relates to containers and in particular but not exclusively to containers for holding emulsion and gloss paints
  • a previously proposed container for paints comprises a metallic cylindrical body having an open top which is closed by a circular metallic lid which is push fitted into place to seal the body-
  • a screwdriver or other implement must be used as a lever between the rim of the container and the lid to prise the lid open. This makes opening the container difficult. It has been proposed to use a lid of plastics material and while a better seal can be achieved and less force is needed to open the container, a lever is still needed to prise the lid open.
  • Figure 1 is a prespective view of the container with the handle down;
  • Figure 2 is a perspective view of the container of Figure 1 with the handle up;
  • Figure 3 is a side elevation of the container
  • Figure 4 is a plan view of the container; Figure 6 is a cross-section though the handle
  • Figures 7 and 5 are respectively a fragmentary cross-section through the lid and the neck of the container;
  • Figure 8 is rear elevation of a guide for the legs of the handle;
  • Figure 9 is a fragmentary side elevation of the container with the guide and handle removed.
  • the container shown in Figure 1 comprises a body 2 enclosed in a shrink wrap sleeve 4 which extends around the rim of the base 8 and the shoulder 6 of the body 2.
  • the body 2 is closed but a lid 10.
  • the upper extremity of a handle 12 when in a retracted state rests on the lid 10.
  • the two side arms of the handle 12 are accommodated in respective pockets 14 formed between the body 2 and the sleeve 4.
  • Each pocket 14 comprises a channel molded in the outer surface of the body 2 which is then closed by the sleeve 4.
  • Figure 2 shows the container with the handle withdrawn to its fullest extent. In this position the handle can pivot to a limited extent both forwardly and backwardly so as to provide a clear access for a paint brush into the interior of the body 2.
  • the container shown in Figure 3 is the same container as shown in Figure 1 except with the sleeve 4 omitted.
  • the base 8 has a transverse channel 16 located directly below the upper extremity of the handle 12 and sized to accommodate the upper extremity of the handle of another containr so that
  • BSTITUTE SHEET two containers can be stacked one on top of the other.
  • the rear wall and the two side walls of the body portion 2 are vertical but the front wall 18 slopes rearwardly upwardly, so that when the base 8 of the container is placed on a forwardly sloping shelf, the front wall 18 will extend vertically upwardly.
  • a pair of lugs 22 project from opposite sides of the neck of the body 2.
  • Each lug 22 has a slot 24 through which a respective leg 12A of the handle 12 extends.
  • Clipped onto each lug 22 is a shield guide 20.
  • the guide 20 has two arms 20A which rest on the shoulders of the body 2 and a trunk 20B which extends under a corresponding lug so that the guide is trapped between the shoulders and the lug 22.
  • the trunk 20B extends downwardly into a shallow enlarged part of the channel 14-
  • the guide 20 has two parallel ribs on its inner face which engage the sides of narrow and deeper part of the channel 14.
  • Each guide 20 acts to constrain a respective leg 12A of the handle within the channel 14 and the two parallel ribs act to guide the leg 12A up and down the channel.
  • the handle 12 is shown more clearly in
  • the upper part of the handle 12 consists of two bracing struts 12B and 12C which are profiled to stiffen the handle 12. Under load there is little or no bending and so the legs 12A hang vertically downwardly when the body 2 is held by the handle. This means that there is little or no horizontal pressure applied to the neck which supports the lugs when the handle is under load.
  • the underside of the lower strut 12C is dished downwardly to provide a comforable grip when being held and to be accommodated in a correspondingly dished part of the lid 10.
  • the lower strut 12C also has a groove 12E to allow the handle to be supported in an S-shaped hook.
  • the lower ends of the legs 12A define hooks
  • the lid 10 of the container is more clearly shown in Figure 7-
  • the lid 10 comprises an inwardly dished central portion 30. Surrounded by a folded portion 32 which in turn is surrounded by a skirt 34- On the inner face of the skirt is a cam or rib 36.
  • the rib 36 cooperates with a cam or lip 2B on the neck 2A of the body 2.
  • the neck 24 engages the channel between the skirt 34 and the fold 52
  • the lip 2B will by cam action on the rib 36, force the skirt 34 outwardly against its own resilience until the lip 2B passes the rib 36 at which point the skirt 34 will snap back into place completing the seal between the neck 2A and the lid 10.
  • the inwardly dished portion 30 will be forced outwardly. This will act on the folded portion 32 to fold the folded portion more tightly. The folded portion will be urged into even more tight engagement with the neck 2A. If the pressure proves irresistable one of the four corners of the lid will become disengaged from the neck 2A to release the pressure. The disengagement of the lid from one of the four corners will bring the other three corners into even tighter engagement with the neck so that the extent of any spillage from the container will be minimal.
  • a series of bracing flanges 38 are provided between the inner face of the dished central portion 30 and the inner face of the fold 32.
  • the skirt 34 is slightly cut away in the region of the lugs 22 to accommodate the lugs 22.
  • the lugs themselves, as more clearly shown in Figure 9, are arched centrally and the slot 24 passes centrally through the arch.
  • the hook 12D of the handle engages the underside of the arch to one side of the slot and is drawn by gravity (when the container is lifted) to the upper extremity of the arch.
  • the portion of the arch adjacent the slot 2C has a downwardly depending wall to prevent lateral movement of the hook 12D and this prevents it from escaping from the slot 24 while the container is being lifted.

Abstract

Le récipient comporte un corps (2) fermé par un couvercle (10). Deux dégagements (14) moulés dans les parois extérieures du récipient reçoivent des branches (12a) et une poignée (12). Les branches (12a) passent à travers des barrettes de blocage respectives (22) fixées aux côtés du col, directement au-dessus des dégagements (14). De cette manière, les branches (12a) sont limités dans leur mouvement à l'intérieur des dégagements. Des crochets (12a) disposés sur les branches s'accrochent à la partie inférieure des barrettes de blocage (22) pour permettre à la poignée de soulever le corps (2). La face avant (18) du corps (2) est inclinée vers l'arrière de sorte que lorsque le corps est posé sur un support incliné vers l'avant, la face avant (18) se met en position verticale. Le couvercle (10) a une forme concave. de sorte que toute augmentation de pression est transmise pour augmenter l'étanchéité entre le couvercle (1) et le corps.
