Definitions
- This invention relates to a tamper-evident container- closure arrangement, the closure being optionally resealable.
- a container-closure arrangement of the type with which the present invention is concerned typically must meet a number of seemingly incompatible requirements. It should provide a container-closure seal that will be maintained when static loads and dynamic forces, such as arise from dropping the containers and/or from shifting loads, tend to break the seal- However, the container- closure seal should at the same time be sufficiently pliant as to permit convenient removal and replacement of the closure as and when required. Also, the container- closure arrangement should provide for evidence of any tampering that may occur following product containment and prior to delivery of the contained product to an end-user. However, the tamper evident structure should not be so unyielding as to impede legitimate removal of the closure from the container. Various container-closure arrangements have been developed in an attempt to meet these requirements.
- US 5730309 discloses a container which has a beaded rim and a closure that has a peripheral skirt.
- the skirt is formed with an inwardly directed ledge that is arranged to mate in removable interlocking engagement with the rim bead, and the skirt incorporates a removable tear strip which functions to prevent removal of the closure from the container until the tear strip is removed.
- the arrangement of US 5730309 provides for multiple engagement between portions of the closure skirt and inter-engaging portions of the container wall.
- FR 2599004 discloses a container having a lateral peripheral flange projecting outwardly therefrom, and a closure having a peripheral skirt, with a corresponding lateral peripheral flange extending from the skirt to align with the container flange when the closure is fitted to the container.
- the peripheral flanges can be connected together by ultrasonic welding.
- a line of detachment is provided in the closure, where the peripheral skirt attaches to the central body portion of the closure. This enables the closure to be removed from the container, but the arrangement is such that the closure cannot be resealed to the container once removed.
- US 4434907 in a somewhat similar manner to FR 2599004, discloses a container having a laterally projecting peripheral flange, and a closure having a corresponding laterally projecting peripheral flange, the flanges aligning and being joined together.
- a line of weakening is provided in the container lateral flange to enable detachment of the closure from the container.
- the closure can be remounted to the container in that a bead on the skirt inner wall can be pressed past a remnant of the container flange (ie remaining after the detachment of the container at the weakening zone) .
- Australian Patent 682096 discloses a container which has a beaded rim, and a peripheral flange projecting out from the container at a location lower than the rim.
- a closure is mountable to that container that has a first peripheral skirt, with an inwardly directed ledge on the skirt arranged to interlock with the rim bead.
- a second skirt is connected to the first skirt at a frangible connection and projects downwardly therefrom, with a lower end sitting in a recess formed in the container flange when the closure is mounted to the container.
- the present invention provides a container-closure arrangement including:
- a container having a base, a peripheral wall, a rim forming an upper margin of the wall and surrounding an opening of the container, and a flange formed integrally with and surrounding the wall below the rim;
- a closure having a central portion that is arranged to overfit the opening of the container, a first skirt portion formed integrally with the central portion and arranged to surround the rim when the closure is fitted to the container, a second skirt portion and optionally a third skirt portion extending in sequence from the first skirt portion, the second skirt portion being detachable either from the first skirt portion or, when present, from the third skirt portion, or being detachable from both the first and third skirt portions; the arrangement being such that, when the closure is fitted to the container:
- one of the second or third skirt portions being that portion adjacent to the flange, can be push- fitted in an upwardly directed opening in the flange;
- a remote end of the second or third skirt portion is push-fitted in the flange opening, the remote end being defined by a projecting rim which, in transverse cross-section, has an enlarged distal head and a proximal narrower neck connecting the head to the remote end, with the opening being an upwardly facing annular channel formed in the flange and extending around therewith, the channel including an annular projection at the opening thereinto and past which the rim head must be pushed to be fitted into the channel; or in (b) the third skirt portion is disposed and shaped to be secured to the flange by a welding or adhesive bond, the flange optionally being formed with a peripheral rebate with the disposition and shape of the third skirt portion being such as to locate in the rebate.
- the bonding may be effected by a tack welding process or by a continuous seam welding process, using eg. an ultrasonic welding process.
- the second skirt portion is detachable from the first and/or third skirt portions at a relatively narrower frangible connection between the skirt portions, the severance along which enables the closure to be detached from the container.
- the annular channel is located in the peripheral rebate of the flange.
- the projecting rim extends downwardly from the third skirt portion.
- the projecting rim is snap-fitted into the annular channel.
- a bead is formed integrally with and surrounds the rim and preferably the first skirt portion engages the bead at a ledge located within and formed integrally with the first skirt portion and positioned to locate in interlocking engagement with the bead.
- the third skirt portion preferably has an inner peripheral wall that is diametrically larger than an inner peripheral wall of the second skirt portion.
- the second skirt portion has a lower marginal edge that is shaped and disposed to locate adjacent a wall portion of the container flange that is located radially inwardly of the rebate.
- a ledge preferably is located within and formed integrally with the peripheral wall of the container and, in such case, the closure will be formed with an inner skirt that is disposed to locate within the container rim and to engage with the ledge when the closure is fitted to the container and a force is applied to the closure, for example as a result of stacking charged containers.
- the inner skirt may be disposed to locate adjacent the inner surface of the peripheral wall of the container or the inner skirt may be disposed obliquely with respect to the peripheral wall of the container.
- the central portion of the closure preferably is formed with a well having a base and a peripheral wall and, in this case, the closure may be formed with radially extending webs that interconnect the peripheral wall of the well and the inner skirt.
- the projecting rim of the second or third skirt portion can also be bonded to the container flange in a similar manner to the bonding of the second or third skirt portion to the container flange in (b) .
- Figure 1 shows a perspective view of a first assembled container-closure arrangement according to the invention
- Figure 2 shows a sectional elevation view of a portion of the arrangement as seen in the direction of section plane 2-2 in Figure 1;
- Figure 3 shows a view of a portion of the arrangement as shown in Figure 2 but incorporating a modification of that arrangement
- Figure 4 shows a view of another portion of the arrangement as shown in Figure 2 but incorporating another modification of that arrangement
- Figure 5 shows a sectional view similar to Figure 2, but of a second assembled container-closure arrangement
- Figure 6 shows a view of a portion of the arrangement of Figure 5, or a modification thereof.
- a first embodiment of a container-closure arrangement in accordance with the invention comprises a container 10, a closure 11 and a pivotable handle 12 connected to the container.
- the container and closure may be moulded from polypropylene or high density polyethylene.
- the handle may be formed from steel or a plastics material.
- the container may be moulded in any desired size and typically will have a volumetric capacity in the order of 4 to 25 litres .
- the container 10 has a base 13 which is sized to locate within a well 14 of the closure, so that a number of the container-closure arrangements may be stacked one upon another.
- the container also has a peripheral wall 15, and a rim 16 forms an upper margin of the wall 15 and surrounds an opening of the container.
- a bead 17 is formed integrally with and surrounds the rim 16.
- the bead has an undersurface 18 that connects with the outer surface of the peripheral wall 15.
- An annular flange 19 is formed integrally with and surrounds the peripheral wall 15 of the container.
- the flange is located vertically below the level of the bead 17 and has two wall portions 20 and 21.
- the wall portion 20 is inclined with respect to the peripheral wall 15 of the container, and the wall portion 21 depends from the outer margin of the inclined wall portion.
- a series of radially extending webs 22 connect the flange 19 to the peripheral wall 15 of the container.
- a rebate 23 is formed in the flange at the junction of the two wall portions 20 and 21.
- a ledge 24 is located within and is formed integrally with the peripheral wall 15 of the container. The ledge
- the closure 11 has a central portion 25 that incorporates the well 14 and which is arranged and sized to overfit the opening of the container 10.
- a first skirt portion 26 is formed integrally with the central portion
- An annular ledge 27 is located within and is formed integrally with the first skirt portion 26, and the ledge 27 is positioned to locate in interlocking engagement with the undersurface 18 of the container bead 17 when the closure is fitted to the container.
- the first skirt portion 26 flares outwardly from the ledge 27 and has an internal surface 28 that is profiled with gentle curves.
- the internal surface 28 is shaped to accommodate the fingers of a person who seeks to lift the closure from the container.
- the internal surface 28 is shaped also to facilitate sliding inter-engagement of the closure and the container when the closure is pushed onto the container.
- the container bead 17 is also shaped in a manner to facilitate sliding engagement between the closure and the container when the closure is pushed onto the container.
- a second skirt portion 29 depends from and is frangibly connected to the skirt portion 26 by way of an integrally moulded thin connecting web 30. Also, in this first embodiment, a third skirt portion 31 forms an extension of the second skirt portion 29 and is frangibly connected to the second skirt portion by an integrally moulded web 32.
- the third skirt portion 31 is shaped and dimensioned to locate within the rebate 22 of the flange 19, so that the third skirt portion 31 may be bonded to the container flange 19 when the container has been charged with material and the closure 11 is fitted to the container 10 for the first time.
- the bond between the third skirt portion 31 and the flange 19 may be established by injecting a sealant (not shown) or be created by welding the third skirt portion 31 into the rebate 22. This latter approach may be achieved by a tack welding process or by creating a continuous seam weld. Welding may be effected in various ways, including, for example, by rotating the container-closure arrangement about the vertical axis of the container and directing electrically heated air into the weld zone from a nozzle 33.
- the third skirt portion 31 has an inner peripheral wall 34 that is larger in diameter than the inner peripheral wall 35 of the second skirt portion 29.
- the resultant lower marginal edge 36 of the second skirt portion 29 then locates above the inclined wall portion 20 of the flange 19.
- the second skirt portion 29 may be formed as a tear strip and be provided with a tear tab 37.
- Figure 3 of the drawings shows a minor variation of the arrangement shown in Figure 2.
- the third skirt portion 31 is formed with a ledge 38 which is shaped and dimensioned to locate within a complementary recess 39 in the rebate 22. This arrangement may be provided in circumstances where it is not required to bond the closure to the container and/or when an enhanced mechanical connection is required to be made between the closure and the container.
- the closure 11 is formed integrally with an inner skirt 40 that is disposed and dimensioned to locate within the container rim 16 and to bear on the container ledge 24 when the closure 11 is fitted to the container 10 and loaded in the direction of the ledge.
- the inner skirt 40 and the first (outer) skirt portion 26 form a channel 41 in which the rim 16 locates and the channel 41 may be occupied in part by an elastomeric gasket-type sealant (not shown) .
- the inner skirt 40 is connected to a peripheral wall 42 of the closure well 14 by radially extending webs 43.
- Figure 4 of the drawings illustrates a variation of the arrangement shown in Figure 2, in that the inner skirt 40 is formed to extend in an oblique direction between the central region 25 of the closure and the container ledge 24.
- a second inner skirt 44 is provided to define the inner margin of the channel 41 and to seal against the inner surface of the peripheral wall 15 of the container.
- webs 43 can connect wall 42 to the inner skirt 40 and/or to the second inner skirt 44.
- a skirt arrangement 48 comprises a first skirt portion 26, a second skirt portion 29 and optionally a third skirt portion 31.
- Either the second or more preferably the third skirt portion 31 is modified to include a downwardly projecting rim 50.
- the rebate 22 is modified to define an upwardly facing annular groove 52, into which the rim 50 can be received, typically in a push-fit arrangement such as a snap, interference or friction fit.
- the projecting rim 50 in transverse cross section, includes an enlarged distal head portion 54, and a relatively narrower neck portion 56 that connects the head portion to the skirt portion 31.
- the annular groove 52 has, in transverse cross section, a relatively wider lower region 58, and a relatively narrower opening caused by an inwardly projecting annular ledge 60. The arrangement is such that the head and neck portion 54, 56 sit snugly in the groove 52 as shown, but to insert or remove the rim 50 into or from the groove, the head portion 54 and/or the ledge 60 must deform sufficiently enough to allow insertion of the rim 50 into groove 52.
- a bevelled face 62 is defined on a lower region of the rim, along which the ledge 60 rides during rim insertion.
- the deformation of either or both of rim 50 and ledge 60 provides a characteristic snap-fit.
- other suitable fitting arrangements can be employed, including interference and friction type fits.
- the second and third skirt portions can be replaced solely by a second skirt portion.
- the skirt arrangement 48 can simply comprise a first skirt portion 26 and a skirt portion 31 frangibly connected thereto (e.g. as indicated in Figure 6).
- the arrangement 48 is comprised of three skirt portions, because the second skirt portion 26 can then define an easily removable tear strip.
- bond between the third skirt portion 31 and the flange 19 can be established, including the formation of a bond between the rim external walls and groove internal walls. Sealants, tack welding, heat welding, ultrasonic welding etc can be employed, as described above. Whilst the invention has been described with reference to a number of preferred embodiments, it should be appreciated that the invention can be embodied in many other forms.
