Definitions

  • the invention relates to a container comprising a basic container part and a closure part, where the basic container part is formed with an essentially circular dispense opening, where at least at two opposite sides of the closure part the basic container part, respectively, are provided with locking arrangements in the form of ribs and grooves which may be caused to interact, and which by turning of the basic container part and the closure part relative to eachother can be caused to disengage their interlocking position, where either the closure part or the basic container part in a closing area, wherein these structural elements engage with eachother, is provided with a conical circular area, and wherein the closure part surrounding the closing area is provided with a compartment for receiving materials, i.e. information materials.
  • Containers of the type mentioned in the introduction are known from e.i. FR 2523550, which shows a bottle with a lid which is provided with an internal and an external collar.
  • the internal collar includes ribs which interact with grooves in the conical area of the bottle neck. Tightening between bottle and lid is produced when the bottle mouth abuts on the plane inside surface of the lid in its attached state. Hereby a chamber is created between the inside and the outside collars.
  • a similar packaging is known, where a lid is formed with a conical collar part, which is caused to protrude downwards into the mouth of the container by screwing on the lid. Between a collar part with screw threads and an external collar, a chamber is provided for attaching e.g. information material.
  • the closing by means of threads of makes the use of this particular packaging troublesome, especially for elderly persons and disabled persons.
  • the object of this invention is therefore to provide a container of the type mentioned in the introduction which, in addition to being provided with space for e.g. information material, also exhibits a sufficient tightness in the closing area to allow the container to be used as packaging for medicine/medical products.
  • a container of the type mentioned in the introduction which is characterized in that the struc ⁇ tural element which abuts on the structual element with a conical circular area, is also provided with a conical circular area whereas these conical areas can be caused to interact to produce an efficient tightening between closure part and basic container part.
  • a container is specified which, with respect to tightness between closure part and basic container part, will fullfil the existing requirements to said packages to be used as medical-packages, and at the same time includes a compart- ment area for information material. Since the closure part and the basic container part can be separated from their interlocking engagement by a limited turning movement of the two structural elements relative to eachother, the package is also particulary user-friendly for disabled users of me- dicine.
  • a circular collar with a conical inside area is provided inside the closure part which conical inside area can be caused to interact with the outside conical area on the neck of the basic container part.
  • the container areas for tigh ⁇ tening will not tend to yield to the different pressure differences prevailing inside the container interior and the surroundings in case the container has been exposed to varying pressure influences, especially an external pressure which is below normal atmospheric pressure at earth level, when returning to this starting point of pressure, and hereby it is ensured that no major volume of air is momentarily sucked into the container.
  • this package can at the outer edge be provided with a tightening lip for abutment on the conical face on the other structural element to offer further improvement of the tightening between the closure part and the basic container part.
  • the lip may conveniently be provided at the edge of the conical area of tightning in the closure part in order to offer protection of the lip against damaging before closing of the container by mounting of the closure part on the the basic container part.
  • Such lip can e.g. be constituted by a circular area of the material having reduced material thickness which will allow elastic deformation in this area which is a certain distance from the edge of the conical area, and by the material between this area of reduced thickness and the edge being made with a rounded shape.
  • these structural elements may, in addition to the locking arrangements in mentioned in the introduction, be fitted with additional locking arrangements between the closure part and the basic container part, preferably at right angles to the remaining locking arrangements.
  • two oppositely arranged ribs are formed which are preferably spaced by an inwardly arched area, and the basic container part is in the area where said ribs interact to the outside areas of the grooves provided with an essentially corresponding shape.
  • closure part can be released from the basic container part by a substantially smaller turning operation of the two parts relative to eachother than in other cases.
  • the angle of turning to obtain the position of release according to this invention will typically be in the order of 15 degrees.
  • the closure part is advantageously provided with a number of ribs on its inside.
  • FIG. 1 shows a container where the closure part is mounted on the basic container part
  • Fig. 2 shows the closure part and the basic container part in separated condition
  • Fig. 3 shows the basic container part seen in the direction of the container mouth
  • Fig. 4 shows the closure part from the side facing the basic container part in a mounted state.
  • Fig. 5 shows the basic container part seen from the side and in a partially sectional view
  • Fig. 6 shows the closure part in sectional view
  • Fig. 7 is a more detailed, sectional view of the cxn- al parts of the closure part and the container part, respectively, in a mounted state.
  • Figure 1 shows a container according to this invention, where the container includes a basic container part 1 and a closure part 2 mounted on said.
  • the container has an essentially rectangular base.
  • the basic container part and the closure part are shown in separated condition.
  • the basic container part 1 is formed with a shoulder part 3 from which a neck 4 protrudes, and where the neck has an essentially circular mouth for dispensing.
  • the neck is formed with a conical circular area which is shown more detailed in figures 3 and 5. Further grooves 56 are formed in the shoulder part.
  • closure part 2 on opposite insides is provided with ribs 7,8, which in a mounted condition for the closure part interacts with the grooves 5,6 in the shoulder part of the basic container part and by this forms the locking arrangements which secures the closure part 2 fixed on the basic container part 1.
  • This allows it to press-on the closure part into locked interaction with the basic container part, while it is not possible to draw it of the basic container part immediately.
  • To separate the closure part and the basic container part it is therefore nessesary to turn the two parts relative to eachother until the ribs and the grooves have beem turned out of the interlocking engagement.
  • Figure 3 shows the basic container part 1 seen in the direc ⁇ tion of the dispense opening. A preferred form of the shoulder part with cut-off corner areas between the ribs 5,6 appears from this.
  • the neck part 4 is formed with a conical area which will be explained in details in connection with figure 5.
  • Figure 4 shows the closure part 2 seen from the side which in a mounted state is facing the basic container part. From this appears more detailed the ribs 7,8, which together with the grooves 5,6 in the basic container part 1 form the locking parts to secure the closure part 2 on the basic container part 1.
  • the ribs 7 are as shown provided with an arched incision where the bottom of the arch is tangential to the inside of the wall in the closure part in such a manner that, in practice, each rib consists of two partial areas.
  • this arrangement means much facilitating release of the closure part 2 from the basic container part 1.
  • this arrangement presupposes a essentially smaller turning angle simultaneously with a smaller deformation and thereby requiring less force to be exerted to release the closure part.
  • the necessary turning angle hereby corresponds to the angle to the edge of the groove.
  • Figure 5 shows more clearly that the neck of the basic container part is formed with a conical circular area 4' . Furthermore the grooves 5,6 in the shoulder part 3 of the basic container part will appear.
  • FIG. 6 shows the closure part in a sectional view, and from this it is seen how the conical collar part 10 is formed.
  • a tightening lip 11 is provided, which causes a further improvement of the tigh- tening.
  • the tightening lip 11 is formed by that an essential ⁇ ly reduced material thickness is provided in the circular area of the collar, so as this area will function as an elastic hinge for the lip 11, which constitutes the outer part of the collar 10.
  • the lip is provided with a rounded shape.
  • Figure 7 shows how the conical part 4' of the neck 4 of the basic container part 1 and the conical collar 10 with the tightening lip 11 of the closure part 2 interact when the package is in an assembled state.
  • the collar 10's lip will at first touch the conical area 4' of the neck.
  • the hinge part of the collar will be deformed elastically and thus act on the lip with a force acting in the opposite direction of deforma ⁇ tion, so that the lip is pressed against the area 4' and as an result of it's rounded shape it will be deformed resulting in a very high contact pressure since the surface of contact is very small.
  • a part of the collar 10 will also come in contact with the surface 4' .
  • the preferred angle of the conical neck part relative to a vertical axis is approximately 70 degrees while the preferred angle of the conical collar part relative to a vertical axis is between 10 and 15 degrees. This interval of angles ensures the intended effective tightning between closure part and basic container part.
  • the pressure by which the tightening lip is pressed against the conical neck will be insufficient at a maintained pressure of closing, while a decrease of the angle will result in a too small tightening surface contact between the tightening lip and the conical neck. In both cases it is nessesary to apply an increased pressure of closing to obtain satisfactory tightening.
  • a change in the angle of the neck will demand a corresponding change in the angle of the collar.
  • the difference of angle between the collar part and the neck is between 5 to 10 degrees so as to obtain a required transformation of the pressure of closing to a contact pressure between the collar and the lip against the neck.
  • the factor of transformation is by said in the area of 9-18.
  • the container as of this invention is preferably produced in polyethylene (PE) , but other materials with corresponding characteristics are also suitable.
  • PE polyethylene
