Definitions

  • This invention relates to containers.
  • One method of forming a container is to produce a metal mould having an interior surface shape which is the exterior surface shape of the required container. Moulds of this kind are commonly made of copper. A liquid plastics material is then introduced into the mould which is rotated at speed in an oven so that the plastics material coats evenly the interior surface of the mould. When rotation has ceased, an end of the mould can be opened and the container withdrawn.
  • containers produced in this way need not be of generally cylindrical shape; they can have any required exterior shape.
  • containers can be produced that have the shape of a cartoon character or an object or a person.
  • Containers of such irregular shape are more difficult to remove from the mould. For this reason, they may be made of comparatively flexible plastics materials in order to ease removal.
  • Such containers require an outlet passage through which the contents can be dispensed (and through which the contents can be passed into the container) .
  • the outlet passage is closed by a removable cap which co-operates with the outlet passage to close the passage. It is a problem with containers produced from such materials that, as the material hardens, it shrinks by an indeterminate amount. This mitigates against a proper seal between the cap and the outlet when the connection between the two is by conventional threads provided on cylindrical surfaces of the cap and the outlet.
  • the outlet may shrink sufficiently to allow leakage.
  • a container including an elongate outlet passage and a cap for closing the outlet passage, the outlet having an interior surface and an exterior surface, the cap having a surface for co-operation with one of said outlet surfaces when the cap closes the outlet passage, said co-operation being such that the cap applies a force to the outlet passage in a direction normal to the length of the passage.
  • the cap and the outlet can be squeezed into engagement with one another to provide an effective seal.
  • Figure 1 is a partial cross-section through a first container and an associated cap
  • Figure 2 is a partial cross-section through a second form of container and associated cap
  • Figure 3 is a partial cross-section through a third form of container and associated cap
  • Figure 4 is a partial cross-section through a fourth form of container and associated cap
  • Figure 5 is a schematic view of a possible shape of the fourth container showing in detail a section through the container with a possible position for the cap,
  • Figure 6 is a partial cross-section through a fifth form of container and associated cap
  • Figure 7 is a schematic elevation of a sixth container and cap
  • Figure 8 is a side elevation of a form of the container of Figure 5 including a transparent dome mounted on the cap
  • Figure 9 is a partial cross-section through a further form of container and associated cap, the cap being shown separated from the container.
  • a suitable plastics material is inserted into the mould which is then rotated at speed in an oven with the plastics material molten so that the plastics material spreads over the interior surface of the mould and conforms to its shape.
  • the plug or plugs are removed and the moulded container pulled from the copper mould.
  • the first container 10 has a body 11 and an outlet passage 12.
  • the passage 12 is generally cylindrical and has an exterior surface 13 and an interior surface 14.
  • the interior surface 14 has (starting from the outlet opening at the exterior end) an initial annular portion 15 provided with a radially inwardly projecting annular triangular section lip 16.
  • This portion 15 terminates in a radially inwardly directed step 17 and is followed by a second annular portion 18 of smaller diameter than the first annular portion 15 and provided with a thread 19.
  • the thread 19 is a parallel thread.
  • the co-operating cap 20 has the general form of a hollow cylinder closed at one end and open at the other end.
  • the outer curved surface of the cap has an initial cylindrical portion 21 whose diameter is generally the diameter of the annular portion 15 of the outlet passage 12. This terminates in a radially inwardly directed step 22 and is followed by a convergent portion 23 provided with a thread 24.
  • the maximum diameter of the convergent portion 23 is greater than the diameter of the second annular portion 18 of the outlet passage 12.
  • the convergent portion 23 is inserted into the passage 12 and is pushed into the second annular portion 18 of the outlet passage 12 to engage the two sets of threads 19,24.
  • Rotation of the cap 20 pulls the cap 20 down into the outlet passage 12 so drawing the cap step 22 past the lip 16 and into engagement with the passage step 17.
  • the lip 16 thus is pushed radially outwardly by the cap 20 and engages around the cylindrical portion 21 of the cap 20 to form a seal.
  • the second container 30 has a moulded body 31 formed as described above with an outlet passage 32 with an exterior surface 33 and an interior surface 34.
  • the interior surface 34 is generally circular in cross- section and converges towards the interior of the container 30. This surface 34 is provided with a thread 35.
  • the inner end of the outlet passage 32 is provided with a radially inwardly directed annular flange 36 that surrounds a hole 37.
  • a co-operating cap 38 has a central portion 39 which is in the shape of a hollow truncated cone and is provided with a thread
  • the upper end of the central portion 39 is connected by a radially extending flange 41 to an outer depending wall 42 that can be gripped to turn the cap.
  • the dimensions of the central portion 39 are so chosen in relation to the dimensions of the outlet portion 32 that when the cap 38 is screwed into the outlet passage 32, the central portion 39 tends to apply a lateral force to the outlet portion 32 tending to expand the plastics material of the outlet portion 32. This provides a fluid-tight seal between the cap 38 and the passage 32.
  • the lower end of the central portion and the hole 37 are so sized that, when the cap 38 is screwed into the passage 32, this end projects through the hole and forces the flange 36 outwardly so that the end is gripped by the flange 36 so providing a further seal.
  • a shoulder 43 is provided between the upper end of the central portion 39 and the undersurface of the flange 36 to engage with the inner surface 34 of the outlet passage 33 at the outer end of the outlet passage 33. This forces the ⁇ urface 34 outwardly and provides a further seal.
  • the third container 50 is formed as described above and has an outlet passage 51 with an exterior surface 52 and an interior surface 53.
  • the exterior surface 52 is generally frusto-conical with the diameter increasing towards the inner end of the passage 52.
  • a thread 54 is provided around the exterior surface 52 and an annular rib 55 extends round the exterior surface 52 below the thread 54.
  • the outer end of the outlet passage 51 is provided with an annular radially extending wall 56 and an annular triangular section lip 57 extends around and projects outwardly of this wall 56 for a purpose to be described below.
  • the outlet passage 51 also includes an annular converging wall 58 depending from the inner end of the flange 56 and formed at its inner end with an inwardly directed portion 59 surrounding a hole 60.
  • the co-operating cap 61 is of generally hollow frusto-conical shape with the wider end open and the narrower end closed by a wall 62.
  • the inner surface of the cap is provided with a thread 63 which co-operates with the thread 54 on the outlet passage 51.
  • the end wall 62 of the cap 61 is provided with a central projection 64 which has a converging outer surface 65 terminating in an inwardly directed step 66 leading to a downwardly projecting plug 67.
  • the projection 64 extends into the region surrounded by the wall 58.
  • the outer surface 65 of the projection 64 engages this wall 58 and the parts are sized so that the cap applies a positive lateral force to this wall 58 so sealing the parts together.
  • the plug 67 enters the hole 60 to close the hole 60 and at the same time forces the portion 59 radially outwardly so providing a tight seal.
  • the rib 55 engages the undersurface of the end wall 62 of the cap 61 and the rib 55 below the thread 54 engages the open end of the cap 61. All these measures increase the seal between the cap 60 and the outlet passage 61 to prevent leakage.
  • the fourth container 70 has an outlet passage 71 with an exterior surface 72 and an interior surface 73.
  • the exterior surface is generally cylindrical and is provided with a thread 74.
  • An annular triangular cross- section rib 75 extends around the exterior surface 72 beneath the thread 74.
  • the outer end of the outlet passage 71 has an end wall carrying an annular triangular section lip 76 projecting in axial direction.
  • the interior surface 73 of the passage 71 has an initial convergent portion 77 terminating in a radially extending annular triangular cross-section rib 78.
  • the cap 79 is generally cylindrical and open at one end and closed at the other end by a wall 80.
  • the wall 80 has a central depression 81 having a convergent frusto-conical outer surface 82.
  • the opposite end of the cap 79 is provided with an outwardly directed flange 83.
  • the interior of the cap 79 is provided with a thread 84 for co-operation with the thread 74 on the passage 71.
  • the depression 81 enters the convergent portion 77 of the interior surface 73 of the outlet passage 71.
  • the parts are dimensioned so that as the cap 79 is finally tightened, the outer surface 82 of the depression 81 applies a positive lateral outward force to the outlet passage 71 so helping to form a seal between the parts.
  • the lower end of the depression 81 passes the rib 78 at the end of the convergent portion 77 so that this rib seals against the outer surface 82 by forcing the surface 82 outwardly.
  • the lip 76 seals against the undersurface of the wall 80 and the lower end of the cap 79 engages the rib 75 below the thread 74 to force the rib 75 outwardly to provide further seals.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un récipient qui convient particulièrement pour le moulage par carrousel, et qui possède un goulot agissant de concert avec un bouchon de fermeture. On réduit ou on élimine la tendance qu'a la matière constituant le récipient à fléchir et à provoquer des fuites grâce à un bouchon qui, lorsqu'il est en prise avec le goulot, produit une force latérale positive qui s'applique sur le goulot pour exercer une action sur les deux pièces, les amenant à coopérer étroitement.
