Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an improved method of opening a hermetically sealed container end and a means of temporarily resealing said end if required by the consumer
  • Food container and beverage container are often formed from a cup shaped metal or plastic body and a separate end of metal (also referred to as a lid)
  • a separate end of metal also referred to as a lid
  • Such containers comprise of an open ended cylinder and two ends During contents packing the body and end(s) are permanently joined together to form a hermetically sealed container The consumer accesses the contents by opening the end of the container
  • a perceived problem with the above methods of gaining access to the contents is that the container user is exposed to the risk of cutting themselves on the newly created opening, or in the case of food containers the removed section of container end Such injury can occur either during the act of opening the container or afterwards This may include, specifically in beverage containers, the risk of consumer cutting a lip during the consumption of the beverage especially in the case of young children.
  • Another injury risk is when consumers unwisely attempt to open a pull ring container after the pull ring has prematurely disconnected from the end, using any opportune sharp object.
  • pull-rings are difficult to operate with long nails so that the act of instigating the opening of a pull-ring container can also cause unnecessary anxiety and cosmetic injury to those consumers who choose to keep their finger nails long or apply synthetic nail extensions.
  • the open port of a beverage container created during the act of opening the beverage container presents the consumer with a container having unguarded opening to the atmosphere incapable of restricting the ingress or insertion of foreign bodies such as insects, drugs etc into the drinks container, which can have adverse consequences if consumed.
  • a container body a container end and an opening device, where the container end is sealed to the container body and provided with a pre-scored portal, wherein the opening device rotates relative to the container end and rotation of opening device transmits force to the container end to open the pre-scored portal.
  • a container body a container end with one or more protuberances and a pre-scored portal, and an opening device, the opening device being able to rotate relative to the container body member between a first position and a second position, the opening device having a recess on its underside adapted to receive the protuberances in the first position so that the rotation of the opening device relative to the container body into the second position is restricted by the protuberances, and wherein: rotational force applied to the opening device is transmitted to the container end to open the pre-scored portal.
  • the one or more protuberances may be any suitable shape, for example, semi-spherical, pyramidal, cuboid, etc.
  • the protuberance is semi- spherical.
  • the one or more protuberances can be disposed at any suitable position on the surface of the container end. It will be apparent to the skilled person to determine the ideal location for the one or more protuberances to enable the opening device to transmit sufficient force to the container end to open the pre-scored portal.
  • a preformed port that can be rotated into position above the portal in the container end to aid in the dispensing of the contents.
  • the opening device port may contain a perforated screen to restrict the ingress of foreign objects into the container interior and allow the dispensing of fluid from the container.
  • the opening device may be constructed in such a way that it obscures or reveals selected areas of the container end surface during rotation of the opening device relative to the container end, wherein: the container end contains messages, instructions or images that can be viewed dependant on the relative position of the opening device on the container end.
  • the container end may contain an electronic device designed and constructed to produce an audible message or sound effect upon the act of rotating the opening device relative to the container end.
  • the opening device may contain an electronic device designed and constructed to produce an audible message or sound effect upon the act of rotating the opening device relative to the container end.
  • the pre-scored portal in the container end does not fully define the portal so that upon opening of the portal a portion of the container end within the portal remains partially attached to the container end.
  • the pre-scored portal in the container end fully defines the portal so that upon opening of the portal the portion of the container end within the portal separates from the container end.
  • the opening device is attached to the container end and able to rotate relative to the container end.
  • the opening device is permanently attached to the container end at the centre of the container end and able to rotate relative to the container end.

  • the opening device is constructed to completely cover the container end and is provided with a seal on its underside that bears against the container end rim to create a temporary seal between the opening device and the container end rim.
  • the opening device is constructed to completely cover the container end except for a small area containing perforations, and is provided with a seal on its underside that bears against the container end rim to create a temporary seal between the opening device and the container end rim, wherein: the opening device when in position allows for the dispensing of the liquid contents of a container but retention of the solid contents within the container.
  • the container end is provided with protuberances on the upper surface to allow the transmission of force to the container end by the opening device when the opening device is rotated relative to the container end.
  • the protuberances may extend away from the can interior or in where the opening device is designed accordingly; towards the can interior.
  • the opening device contains a cam or cams that transmit force to the container end when the opening device is rotated relative to the container end, these cams may transfer force evenly over a select surface of the container end to deflect the container end and cause the failure of a pre- scored line or concentrate the force on a narrow contact point on the container end to fail a pre-scored line or transmit force to the container end so that it fails at the contact point.
  • the opening device, or elements of the opening device descend towards the container end during the act of rotation of the opening device relative to the container end to transmit force to the container end. Descent can be controlled and established in the entire opening device by provision of angled guides (screw thread style). Elements of the opening device can be made to descend towards the container end by utilising a two piece opener where the act of turning the outer portion forces the downward descent of elements of the interior portion.

  • FIG. 9d illustrates the relative separation of the components after opening and the created port 1 1 through which the container 1 contents can be accessed.
  • FIGS. 10 and 1 1 additionally display an optional embodiment of the invention where the recesses 10 in the opening device 3 are of different dimensions and offsets, this feature allows force to be applied to different protuberances 6 at different stages in the rotation of opening device 3 relative to container end 2, pre-scored line 4 may include additional pre-scored lines than those illustrated in FIG. 10 to accommodate relative vertical movements in the pre- scored portal 5 as force is applied to different areas of the container end 2 at different stages of the rotation of opening device 3 in relation to container end 2.
  • FIGS. 12 and 13 illustrate a variation on the embodiment displayed in FIGS. 9-11 where the opening device 3, has on its under surface a protuberance 20 which upon the rotation of the opening device applies force to the container end 2 through the protuberances 6 to create port 1 1 as described for FIGS. 9-
  • FIG. 14-16 shows a preferred feature of embodiments of the invention for use in, for example, food containers, and can be combined with other features previously illustrated in FIGS. 9-13 or described later in this disclosure.

  • FIG. 22 shows an embodiment of the invention where opening device 3 fits over container end 2 and rim 8.
  • Opening device 3 has a series of tangs around its circumference and rim 8 has a series of rim indents 26 and rim protuberances 27 so that tangs 7 on opening device 3 correspond with the indents of rim 8 allowing the opening device 3 to be fitted over the container end 2.
  • Slight revolving of opening device 3 engages the tangs 7 underneath rim protuberances 27 so that opening device 3 is held tightly against the top of rim 8.
  • the opening device 3 can be removed by further revolution of the opening device 3, which in a preferential embodiment would also open the container end 2, or by reversal of the fitting procedure.
  • FIG. 23 shows an embodiment of the invention where the opening device 3 is manufactured with an area of fluid permeable apertures 28 to allow the draining of container 1 contents after opening of the portal 5 but prior to dispensing of any solid contents.

  • Pre-scored line 4 extending around the circumference of side walls 60.
  • the protuberances 6 are received in recesses 62 disposed around the inner rim 64 of opening device 3.
  • Opening device 3 is coupled to the container end 2 such that rotational displacement about the container's longitudinal axis overcomes the resisting force between the recesses 62 and protuberances 6 sufficient to tear the container end 2 along pre-scored line 4, and thus the container can be opened (Fig. 30c).
  • opening device 3 is rotatably mounted on container end 2 about pivot 38 in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the container 1.
  • Opening device 3 has a lip 40 that overlies rim 8 of the container 1.
