Definitions
- the present invention relates to containers.
- the present invention relates to a one piece moulded container having a liddable base.
- the present invention has as an object the provision of a one piece moulded container which embodies features different from those currently available.
- One such feature is a specific click fit lid closure arrangement.
- Another is a minimal overlap of the periphery of the lid with the base.
- Still another is the locus of mating by way of an abutment between the base and the hinged Hd.
- Still another is the provision of a guiding arrangement between the Hd and the interior of the base to better enhance a cHck fit engagement between lapping regions of the Hd and the base wall.
- the invention consists in a closable one piece moulded container comprising or including a base portion having peripheral upwardly extending wall(s) peripherally thereof, and a Hd hinged to be able to close onto the said wall(s) thereby to effect closure of the container, wherein the Hd carries (A) one or more forms to act as a runner, cam, guide or the Hke ("guide”) internally of and from said wall(s) during closure (ie, thereby to ensure proper closing) and (B) a region to lap over said wall(s) to provide a dick-fit exteriorly of said walls.
- the cHck fit in conjunction with the affect of the guide is to provide a latched closure.
- the dip-fit lapping occurs on the front wall ie, that distaUy of the hinging of the
- the Hd does not lap said wall(s) otherwise than over a part thereof distaUy of the hinge axis (provided by said hinging of the Hd from said base portion).
- the base portion and Hd mate with complementary flanges or other top and bottom edge features.
- said mating is not on a single plane but rather is either on two planes with a transition therebetween.
- a preferred transition is a curve or curves.
- the effect of said guide is to ensure the lap is pulled tightly onto the exterior of the wall(s) thereby to effect and/or retain the click-fit between a formation or formations of the lap of the lid and/or the exterior region of said front or distal wall.
- said base has a square or rectangular base panel (whether truncated, curved or otherwise at the corner regions) and preferably said walls are essentially four peripheral walls with transitions therebetween or corners therebetween.
- said Hd itself defines a concavity provided at least in part by downwardly depending wall features.
- the flanks of the lid have wall features but there is otherwise a general curvature (with some variation) of the Ud on its distal region.
- the features of the container are substantially as hereinafter described.
- the invention consists in a one piece moulded container able to have its lid closed onto its base, or vice versa, wherein there is a lapping of one member exteriorly of the other and a click-fit engagement there between, the click-fit engagement being encouraged by ' an internal interaction of a formation or formations of the lid against an interior surface of said base.
- the invention consists in a closable one piece moulded container comprising or including a base portion of a substantially square or rectangular base panel and four peripheral upwardly extending wall panels peripherally thereof, and a lid hinged from the base portion and able to close onto the upper region(s) of at least three of said wall panels thereby to effect closure of the container, wherein the distal region of the lid has an extension to lap over and has at least one feature to click-fit engage a formation or formations ("formations”) (male and/or female or shouldered) exteriorly of a panel of the base portion.
- the lid carries one or more forms to act as a runner, cam, guide or the like
- an in-mould label or other feature is positioned in said relief profile .feature of said panel. _
- the base portion and Hd includes flanges or mating extremities which have a - locus of mating during closure which has, substantially at the same height as the rear wall panel, the regions of the side wall panels proximate to the rear panel and has, substantially at a lower same height, such mating over at least part of said front panel and the fore regions of each side panel.
- flanges or mating extremities which have a - locus of mating during closure which has, substantially at the same height as the rear wall panel, the regions of the side wall panels proximate to the rear panel and has, substantially at a lower same height, such mating over at least part of said front panel and the fore regions of each side panel.
- the flange of said front wall panel is interrupted preferably to accommodate the lid's lap feature and/or at least to substantially coincide with the extent of said relief feature across the outer face of said front wall panel.
- the base panel is bevelled or rounded in its periphery at or adjacent each corner region.
- said lid defines small downwardly extending wall panels at each side (but which conform in a complementary manner to the upper extremities of the base wall panels and/or their flanges).
- the distal region of said lid has not so much a downwardly depending wall panel but a general arcuate cross section through to the lap.
- said side wall panels and/or the upper flanges thereof (preferably at least in the fore regions) has a complement for a tongue in groove or groove in tongue ⁇ nter-relationship with mating features of said Hd.
- the invention consists in the provision of a container with a latching mechanism substantially as herein described with reference to any one or more of the accompanying drawings.
- the present invention consists in a container, or features of a container, substantially as herein described with reference to any one or more of the accompanying drawings.
- the present invention consists in a one piece moulded lidded container where the interface between the face and the Hd as a result of hinging is higher near the hinge than is the case away from the hinge or is substantially as herein described with reference to any one or more of the accompanying drawings.
- such an arrangement has lapping only at the latching region of the distal wall of the base and distaHy of the Hd.
- the invention consists in the provision of a one piece moulded liddable container where there is in mould appHcation of some indicia, information, or the like below the latching mechanism of a front distal or distal waU of the base below a region of Hd lapping required for the latching mechanism.
- click-fit includes to a latching capability.
- Figure 1 through 16 show a first embodiment typical of a range of containers that can be provided to nest one within the other if desired
- Figure 17 and 18 shows a second embodiment
- Figure 19 to 21 shows a third embodiment where an extra Hd can be provided as a secondary lid to a recess provided in the lid.
- a base 1 with its upstanding walls having a hinge 2 for the integrally moulded lid 3 with its latching lap 4 overlapping an upper part only of the distal wall 5 of the peripherally walled base.
- a profiled recess 6 Positioned below the lapping tongue for the quick fit arrangement 4 is a profiled recess 6 in which an in- mould label feature can be provided.
- the lid is provided with an upstanding zone 7 which rigidifies the region above the tongue 4.
- the click-fit latching mechanism involving the lapping region 4 has an abutment shoulder 5.
- This region 6 of course is to preferably have an in-mould provided labelling or other indicia feature therein and protected to some extent by the recess.
- the recess 6 and its scalloping back preferably into the base acts as a locator for any security band of elastic or rubber that a user may wish to provide around, for example, a lunch box if it is to be handled roughly.
- the camming arrangement of the protuberance 8 of the region 9 of the front wall 5 allows the inwardly protuberant abutment feature 5 to be slid over into its engaging condition, shoulder to shoulder, as shown in Figure 6 and is the case in each of Figures 1 through 8.
- a runner or guide formation or formations (preferably a spaced pair) 10 run down on the inside surface of the region 9 of the distal wall 5.
- the present invention provides security with the co-action of the inner features of the latching mechanism with those of the outer features.
- flanges 14 of the side walls and front wall of the base are adapted to contact flanges 15 of the lid.
- a female feature 16 at each side of the Hd which is to fit in a "groove onto tongue” manner to a male protuberant region 17 of the side walls and their flange 14.
- Figure 14 shows in section the interengagement of the female arrangement of the Hd onto the male or tongue formation 17 of the base.
- Figure 17 and 18 shows a more elongate form of container but one otherwise having all of the features of an embodiment as shown in Figures 1 through 16. Such a form of container as shown in Figures 17 and 18 can be useful for cutlery, pencils or the Eke.
- Figures 19 through 21 show a two part or single part moulding having two lids. Moulded as a single part is at least a base 19 and a main or primary lid 20 with all of the features previously described with respect to the other embodiments. There can however be moulded a reservoir depression 21 to be closed by a separately moulded or integrally moulded secondary lid 22.
- Hd 22 is part of a single part moulded doubly lidded container then more complex moulded tools are required than is otherwise the case. It would be moulded with both the lids 20 and 22 fully open if it is to remain as a single one piece product.
- the hinging axis 23 of such a secondary lid 22 is parallel to the hinging axis 24 ofthe lid 20.
- a preferred material is polypropylene (or polypropylene in conjunction with some other material).
