Definitions

  • the present invention generally relates to closures for drink bottles, one particular application being sports drink bottles.
  • the invention is applicable to single- or two-piece closure apparatus.
  • Known closure assemblies generally include a chassis with a skirt, a hinged overcap and a nozzle, the nozzle sometimes separate and bumped into the chassis.
  • this invention may find application in single piece closures, multi-piece closures do have certain advantages over single-piece closures because although they require a separate assembly step to bump the nozzle into engagement with the chassis, the cost of tooling required is less than the cost of the assembly step.
  • the closures seal access to bottles generally by sealing between the nozzle and the hinged overcap, wherein a post extends from an underside of the overcap to plug an aperture in the nozzle. However, the post rarely aligns with the nozzle properly during closing of the overcap, causing damage to the post and aperture, ultimately causing leaks.
  • the multi-piece closure assemblies have a threaded skirt, it must generally be screwed tightly onto a threaded neck finish, so as to maintain a tight seal. Under tightening, this causes flaring and distortion of the chassis which sometimes forces the nozzle through the chassis, allowing leakage or catastrophic failure.
  • the bridges associated therewith leave sharp portions when they are broken, which may scratch the lips of a user when the user is engaged in drinking from the bottle. Also, the hinged overcap often interferes with the user's face, interfering with drinking pleasure and effectiveness and ease of use of the closure.
  • closure assemblies often retain fluid in various crevices, and bacterial growth on the closure, potentially on the nozzle, ensues.
  • the present invention seeks to ameliorate one or more of the abovementioned disadvantages.
  • a closure apparatus suitable for use in closing a sports drink bottle
  • the closure apparatus including: a closure body including a chassis for operatively engaging with a neck finish of the bottle and an overcap for facilitating access to the bottle, the chassis including a skirt depending from an upper region of the chassis and including a thread for engaging with a cooperating thread on a neck finish of the bottle; a hinge for facilitating access to the bottle, the hinge connected to the overcap and the chassis; the closure body further including a nozzle operatively connected to the chassis and adapted to direct fluid from the bottle to a user's mouth, the nozzle being elliptical when viewed in plan view so as to facilitate improved user comfort and fit to the user's mouth; and an angular locking means for locking the nozzle in a selected angular orientation about a bottle or nozzle axis, the locking means in the form of one or more keys and one or more corresponding keyways, one of the key and keyway being mounted on the nozzle and the other of the closure body
  • a closure apparatus suitable for use in closing a sports drink bottle
  • the closure apparatus including: a closure body including a chassis adapted to operatively engage with a neck finish of the bottle and an overcap to facilitate access to the bottle, the overcap including a base rim and connected to the chassis by a hinge; the closure body further including a nozzle adapted to direct fluid from the bottle to a user's mouth through an aperture; wherein the overcap is adapted to mount tamper evident bridges in a tamper evident bridge mounting region spaced from the base rim of the overcap, so that in an open position, the tamper evident bridge mounting regions are spaced distal the aperture to inhibit scratching a user's face when drinking from the bottle.
  • a closure apparatus suitable for use in closing a sports drink bottle
  • the closure apparatus including: a closure body including a chassis adapted to operatively engage with a neck finish of the bottle and an overcap to facilitate access to the bottle, the overcap comprising a base rim and connected to the chassis by a hinge; a nozzle operatively connected to the chassis and adapted to direct fluid from the bottle to a user's mouth; wherein the closure body includes one or more frangible bridges connected to the overcap and chassis and which are disposed in guards to inhibit contact between the user's mouth and the frangible bridges.

  • the key is in the form of a lug extending from a peripheral region of the nozzle and the keyway is a corresponding recess disposed in a peripheral region of the chassis, so as to interlock to facilitate locking of the nozzle in the selected angular orientation.
  • a reinforcing device is provided to inhibit distortion of the chassis, the reinforcing device including an interlock which includes one or more peripheral ridges and one or more corresponding peripheral channels, one of which is associated with the nozzle and the other of which is associated with the chassis, which interlock when the nozzle operatively connects with the chassis.
  • the one or more ridges are mounted on a peripheral flange of the nozzle and are in the form of a substantially continuous peripheral rib, in cross section shaped generally as a triangle which has an apex spaced from the peripheral flange.
  • the hinge includes a snap-action device to facilitate moving the overcap between an open position and a closed position, and retaining the overcap in each position.
  • the overcap includes tamper evident bridge mountings which are disposed in a tamper evident bridge mounting region spaced from a base rim of the overcap, so that in an open position, contact between the tamper evident bridge mounts and a user's face is inhibited when the user drinks from the bottle.
  • the nozzle includes a drinking aperture, the aperture being disposed in a depression at a nozzle outlet so as to improve closing of a seal between the aperture and a sealing post extending into the drinking aperture when in a closed position.
  • the nozzle or the chassis includes a drain to drain fluid from the closure body.
  • the drain includes a drainage trench disposed in a base region of the nozzle.
  • the drain includes a drain outlet which is in the form of a drainage aperture in the overcap to allow fluid to drain from the trench and an overcap cavity.
  • the drain outlet is adjacent the hinge so that in a closed position the outlet is substantially covered by the hinge so as to inhibit fluid entry into the closure body.
  • the closure body or nozzle includes tamper evident bridge guards for guarding tamper evident bridges so as to inhibit tamper evident bridge contact with a user.
  • the tamper evident bridge guards are in the form of one or more notches in a peripheral wall for receiving tamper evident bridges.
  • one or more tamper evident bridges are mounted in a tamper evident bridge mounting zone disposed adjacent the base of the nozzle, and a plinth is provided adjacent a base of the nozzle so as to elevate a nozzle boss for receiving lips of a user away from the tamper evident bridge mounting zone.
  • the base region of the overcap is disposed below a parapet wall at a top of which the tamper evident bridge mounting zones are disposed so as to facilitate spacing of the tamper evident bridge mounting region from the base rim of the overcap.
  • the chassis includes a threaded skirt depending from an upper region of the chassis to engage the neck finish.
  • a detachable tamper evident body is provided which when the closure assembly is in a closed position, is mounted at least on the bridge mounting region.
  • the detachable body is a tear-out visor.
  • the detachable tamper evident body extends between tamper evident bridges mounted on the overcap and the chassis.
  • the nozzle is elliptical when viewed in plan view for increased user comfort.
  • the nozzle is separate from and operatively connected to the chassis.
  • an angular locking apparatus for locking the nozzle in a selected angular orientation about a bottle or nozzle axis, the angular locking means in the form of one or more keys and one or more corresponding keyways, one of the key and keyway being mounted on the nozzle and the other of the key and keyway being mounted on the chassis.
  • the parapet may be in the form of a broken wall, so that several distinct reinforcing walls are provided, which facilitates the elevation of the tamper evident bridge mounting zone above the rim of the overcap when in the closed position.
  • the visor may be a tear-out body so that a clear gap remains between the tamper evident bridges when removed, to clearly demonstrate its removal.
  • a handle may be moulded on the tear-out body so as to facilitate its removal. As with the more common tamper evident bridges, the tear-out body retains the overcap in the closed position so that it must be removed before opening the overcap.
  • inventions may include other kinds of locking means such as for example in the form of cooperating nozzles and chassis, the arrangement being such that the chassis includes an aperture or skirt which is non-circular such as an ellipse, square, rectangle, and the like, and the nozzle includes a base area which is corresponding in shape, so that the boss is maintained in an orientation wherein the hinged overcap is held at the cheek of the user when opened and the major axis of the boss is disposed transversely across the user's mouth.
  • Other types of locking mechanism are contemplated such as adhesives, heat welding friction enhancers such as knurling or piercing and the like to inhibit rotation of the nozzle relative to the chassis.
  • Preferred embodiments of this aspect of the present invention facilitate a tight seal between closure assembly and bottle without distortion of the chassis, which alleviates such problems as: - extreme removal torque requirement, leakage, poor hinge operation, and misalignment of overcap post with nozzle aperture, and damage to post when closing the overcap, leading to further leakage.
  • the reinforcing means includes a tangential rib extending generally from one side of the break to the other, and into the aperture, hi one form the rib is a horizontal rib so as to provide a shelf for abutment of the nozzle insert, for improved sealing against the upper rim edge of the bottle.
  • the reinforcing rib reduces distortion and therefore maintains a more even load distribution between the nozzle insert and the neck finish and/or lip. Therefore, extremes of twist force are not required to remove the chassis. Also, induction sealing is improved after filling and capping.

  • the closure assembly 10 further includes a nozzle 42 for directing fluid from the bottle through an aperture 56, the nozzle including a boss 54 for engaging with a user's lips, the nozzle 42 when assembled being bumped into the chassis 14.
  • the chassis 14 includes a skirt 24 depending downwardly from an upper region 20, at which is mounted an upper parapet 22 for strengthening the chassis.
  • the skirt 24 includes an internal peripheral wall 28 upon which a neck engaging means 30 is mounted, in the form of threads 32 for engaging corresponding neck finish threads.
  • the upper parapet 22 is stepped inwards from the skirt 24 to define a peripheral land 34 and an internal chassis shoulder 36.
  • Tamper evident features include band 90 attached below skirt 24, and tamper evident bridges 51 mounted at a top face 11 of upper parapet 22, the latter mounted on the parapet 22 so as to facilitate tamper evident bridge spacing from a user's face when in use.
  • the hinge 18 is integrally moulded with the chassis 14 and the overcap 16 and mounted on the chassis 14 at a mounting point 44 which is disposed on the land 34, in a break 46 in the upper parapet 22.
  • the mounting point 44 is below an upper rim of the upper parapet 22 to maximise a spacing between the overcap 16 and the aperture 56 and boss 54 in an open position.
  • the overcap 16 includes an overcap wall 57 and a base rim 55, and gripping shelves 91 to allow a thumb of a user to engage the overcap 16 to flip it open.
  • the nozzle 42 is operatively connected to an underside of the chassis 14 when assembled, using a flange 53 to facilitate retaining the flange 53 of the nozzle 42 under the internal chassis shoulder 36.
  • a reinforcing device 52 is also provided to inhibit flaring of the chassis 14 and release of flange 53 during tightening of the skirt 14 onto the neck finish of the bottle. That is, the reinforcing device 52 includes a peripheral ridge 97 extending upwardly from the flange 53 and corresponding in shape to a chassis channel 37 within shoulder 36 so as to mate therewith when assembled.
  • the nozzle 42 includes an upper region 58 which includes the boss 54 and aperture 56.
  • the upper section 58 is mounted on an enlarged base region 59 which provides a stop for the user's lips.
  • the enlarged base region 59 is mounted a plinth 8 which spaces the boss 54 and base region 59 from the upper parapet 22 so as to inhibit contact between tamper evident bridges 51 and a user's lips.
  • a drain 93 is provided to drain a cavity 94 between the overcap 16 and the nozzle 42.
  • the drain 93 is in the form of a drain channel 60 which is disposed in the nozzle 42, between a peripheral locating rib 62 and a plinth wall 61.
  • the base rim 55 of the overcap 16 seats adjacent parapet 62 and in the drain channel 60 when in the closed position so that the tamper bridges 51 connect to the overcap in a tamper evident bridge mounting region 95 spaced from the underside rim 55.
  • the drain 93 includes a drain and aeration outlet 98.
  • the drain outlet 98 is partially formed by a bight 77 in the base rim 55 of the overcap 16.
  • the bight 77 is disposed underneath the hinge 18 when the overcap 16 is closed, in order to inhibit fluid flow into the cavity 94 up the drain.
  • the tamper evident bridges 51 are mounted on the inner radius of the parapet 22.
  • the bridges 51 include a first mounting and a second mounting, the first mounting being on the upper parapet 22 and are stronger than the second mounting which is mounted on the overcap 16.
  • the bridges 51 are therefore tapered from the first mounting at the upper parapet 22 to an outer face 57 of the overcap 16, so that the bridges 51 tend to, when broken off, remain on the upper parapet 22, within the guards 64, rather than the face 57 of the overcap 16. This facilitates the retention of bridges 51 within the guards 64 and reduction of scratching of the user's face.
  • the peripheral locating rib 62 includes a plurality of guards 63 in the form of notches 64 in the locating rib 62 adjacent the tamper bridges 51. This is so that the tamper bridges 51 may seat in the notches 64 to guard the user's lips from being scratched while drinking. Also, the low placement of the tamper bridges 51 made possible by the notches 64, keeps the tamper bridges 51 disposed a selected distance from the user's lips while drinking.
  • Several guards 63 are provided so that one or more pairs of tamper bridges may be provided in one design or embodiment, and/or so that the position of a single tamper evident bridge may be varied around the parapet 22. This provides a closure having a tunable break force, because a bridge 51 disposed rearwardly of the closure would be easier to break with one thumb movement than a bridge 51 disposed at the front.
  • An angular locking device 38 is provided to lock the nozzle 42 in a selected angular orientation about a nozzle axis 96.
  • the locking device 38 is in the form of a lug 39 which cooperates when assembled with the notch 40 so as to inhibit rotation of the nozzle 42 about the chassis 14.
  • the boss 54 is shaped to facilitate user comfort and sealing around the lips and mouth, and is an ellipse 66 in plan view.
  • the oval shape naturally or automatically suggests to the user that the nozzle should be placed in the mouth with the major axis 69 of the ellipse facing laterally across the user's face.
  • the major axis 69 of the ellipse is arranged when assembled, preferably directed at the overcap 16 when in the open position so that it is naturally suggested to the user to position the overcap 16 adjacent their cheek.
  • Two notches, 40 and two lugs 39 are in this embodiment situated at the sides of the closure body to encourage this alignment, as well as to provide symmetrical placement, and two possible nozzle positions in the assembly.
  • the aperture 56 of the nozzle 42 is disposed in a depression 79 so as to facilitate alignment of a post 80 into the aperture for sealing during closing.
  • the post 80 swings into the depression 79 and is disposed more vertically when in contact with the aperture 56, because of the depression 79. This inhibits bending of the post 80 and damage to the aperture 56.
  • a rear reinforcing means 48 is provided in the form of a rib 50 disposed within break 46 in parapet 22. Mounting the hinge 18 in the break 46 improves mouldability of the chassis. Also, it provides additional flexibility for the hinge 18 which extends the life of the hinge, as well as extending the distance from boss 54 to rim 55 in the open position for reducing contact with a cheek or face (not shown) of the user, while the rib 50 inhibits flaring and distortion during tightening of the chassis 14 on the neck finish.
  • the hinge 18 includes a snap-action device, known as a butterfly hinge.
  • the hinge 18 has a snap action between an open position and a closed position essentially caused by two biasing wings 74 and 75 disposed adjacent ends of a hinge line 73.
  • the snap action device helps to maintain the overcap in the open and closed positions, and also helps to move them therebetween.
  • the hinge 18 is attached to the overcap 16 at a position near to the underside lip so as to facilitate maximum travel for the underside Hp 55 from the cheek of the user.
  • the bight 77 also facilitates overcap 16 clearing the plinth 8 when closing, as well as to provide some extra clearance for the user's lip and cheek when drinking.
  • the closure assembly 10 is assembled by bumping the nozzle 42 into the chassis 14 until the peripheral ridge 97 mates with the channel 37.
  • the alignment of the major axis 69 to the hinge 18 is facilitated by locating the lug 39 into the notch 40.
  • Comfort for the user when drinking is provided by increasing the distance from the tamper bridges 51 to the lips when the latter are engaged on and sealed around the boss. Furthermore, the enlarged base 59 and plinth 8 upon which the boss 54 is mounted keeps the lips from straying onto the tamper evident bridges 51. Also, the tamper bridges 51 are designed to remain on the parapet 22 and guarded from lips by guards 63 in the form of notches 64.
  • Notches 40 and lugs 39 provide certainty of alignment so that the overcap will always be spaced from and adjacent the cheek of the user when in use, because of the natural suggestion of the oval shaped boss 54, in which the major axis 69 will be oriented toward the hinge 18. This provides easy drinking from the bottle.
