Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to a container and, more particularly, to a fracturable container for opening.
  • Containers are made from various materials, including glass, metal and plastic. Recently, plastic containers have been favored for their light weight construction and low cost. In particular, plastic containers can be made by known molding and thermoforming processes. In order to withstand shipping, handling and storage, the plastic should be robust. Preferred plastics today include PET and high- impact polystyrene. In particular, the plastics are selected so as to resist fracturing upon the application of expected and unexpected forces.
  • Many of the known sealed containers include a body defining a cavity for receiving material and a lid or cover for sealing the cavity.
  • the cover is connected to the body by a mechanical interconnection, such as a snap-fit connection or threaded connection.
  • the cover can be connected to the body by adhesives and heat sealing.
  • the cover can be easily removed from the body to allow for access to the stored material. With small containers, however, removal of the cover can be difficult.
  • Other containers can be configured so that cover remains connected to the body, and the body can be fractured upon the application of force.
  • cover remains connected to the body, and the body can be fractured upon the application of force.
  • one of the walls of the container will have a weakened section, such as a thinned wall section or perforations of the wall.
  • Plastic containers including a weakened section
  • a weakened section are often made by a basic molding process, as the wall thickness can be varied during the molding process.
  • Other plastic containers with a weakened section are thermoformed, where the weakened section is a result of cutting or perforating. Due to the reduced wall thickness associated with thermoformed containers, the weakened section is produced on generally flat sections of the containers so that a minimum wall thickness can be maintained, thereby providing a measure of structural stability, while weakening a section sufficiently to be fracturable.
  • the weakened section allows the package to maintain a desired structural integrity inherent in the PET or high-impact polystyrene along the majority of the container body.
  • the container can be undesirably compromised by the application of force on the container body or as a result of internal pressure within the container, resulting in an unsealed container.
  • thermoformed containers position the weakened section to extend along a corner or otherwise smaller section of the container.
  • the resulting small opening from this minimized weakened section does not provide for free flow of product stored in the cavity under the influence of gravity. While this aids in reducing unintended dispensation from the cavity, a user must squeeze or otherwise deform the container rather than simply tilting the container to dispense the contents.
  • Many containers include an inner coating or layer to provide further protection for the contents. Although these coatings are effective for particular materials to be stored in the container or for particular environments, they are not intended to accommodate for the compromised integrity of the container body resulting from the weakened wall section.

  • a container 2 for sealing dispensable goods in a cavity.
  • the container 2 includes a body 4 defining the cavity for receiving the dispensable goods.
  • An upper edge 6 of the body 4 defines an opening of the cavity.
  • a flange 8 of the container 2 extends from the upper edge 6 of the body 4.
  • An upper surface 10 of the flange 8 has a generally flat surface for having a cover 12 affixed thereto.
  • the body 4 and cover 12 provide a sealed environment for storage of the dispensable goods.
  • the container 2 is fracturable across its width 14 along a specified break path 16.
  • the body 4 has a generally constant wall thickness 18, even along the break path 16.
  • the body 4 includes an elongate construction, although other configurations are contemplated.
  • the body 4 includes opposite ends 20 and 22 with an intermediate portion 24 positioned between the opposite ends 20 and 22.
  • the break path 16 is positioned within the intermediate portion 24 of the body 4.
  • the body 4 includes a handle portion 26 extending from the first end 20 to the break path 16, and a distal portion 28 extending from the second end 22 to the break path 16.
  • the handle portion 26 is configured to be gripped by a user to allow for one-handed operation and use of the container 2.
  • An engageable surface 30 of the distal portion 28 is configured to be engaged by a user, such as by a thumb of the user, to exert an opening force on the distal portion 28 of the body 4 so that the body 4 fractures along the break path 16. As shown in FIG. 3, the engageable surface 30 is offset from a lower surface 31 of the handle portion 26 and arcuate, such as to approximate a finger, to provide an ergonomic engagement.
  • the generally constant wall thickness 18 about the break path 16 reduces the tendency for the integrity of the container 2 to be unintentionally compromised during filling, handling and storage.
  • the container 2 is configured to maximize the stress at a base surface 32 along the break path 16 of the container 2 as force is being exerted on the engageable surface 30 of the distal portion 28 of the body 4.
  • the body 4 includes a bend 34 extending across the width 14 of the body 4 and which defines the break path 16.
  • the container 2 includes a tapered profile 36 within the intermediate portion 24 of the body 4 and an enlarged flange portion 38 of the flange 8 adjoining the break path 16.
  • the bend 34 of the body 4 is provided by the thermoforming process.
  • a similar bend could be provided by bending a preformed body to provide a crease. Bending, however, may not be preferred because it may produce stress along the bend, which may reduce the overall strength of the body 4 and may lead to undesired fracturing. In contrast, the thermoformed bend 34 does not result in additional stress to the body 4.
  • the bend 34 of the body 4 provides additional stress on the base surface 32 of the bend 34 along the outer surface 33 of the body 4 as force is applied to the engageable surface 30 of the distal portion 28.
  • the bend 34 straightens as force is applied to the engageable surface 30.
  • FIG. 7 shows a cross section of the body 4 with no force being applied.
  • the base surface 32 of the bend 34 is put under tension creating stress on the body 4.
  • the bend 34 straightens and a fracture 40 forms along the base surface 32 of the bend 34.
  • the bend 34 defines the break path 16 along which a cleavage tear is propagated.
  • the force required to initiate the fracture is greater than that required to propagate the tear along the break path 16.
  • the bend 34 includes an angle oc defined by wall portions 42 and 44 of the body 4 located on either side of the bend 34.
  • the angle oc is configured to promote fracturing along the bend 34.
  • a larger angle oc provides increased stress along the bend 34 as the bend 34 is straightened.
  • the angle oc is at least about 70 degrees. In some cases, the angle ⁇ ranges from about 70 to about 90 degrees.
  • the body 4 includes other features to increase the amount of stress on the base surface 32 of the bend 34.
  • the stress at the base surface 32 of the bend 34 can be characterized by the Bernoulli- Euler beam stress equation:
  • the body 4 includes features to both increase the distance y between the neutral axis 58 and the base surface 32 of the bend 34 and decrease the second moment of area (I x ), specifically at the desired rupture or break path 16.
  • the tapered profile 36 of the body 4 about the break path 16 reduces the amount of material located away from the neutral axis 58. Further, the height of the body 4 is reduced at the break path 16 to specifically reduce the second moment of area (I x ).
  • the container 2 includes a neutral axis 58 along which point there is no longitudinal stress. More particularly, upon the application of force on the engageable surface 30, compressive stress acts on a portion 60 of the container 2 extending from the neutral axis 58 to the flange 8. Further, tensile stress acts on a portion 62 of the container 2 extending from the neutral axis 58 to the base surface 32.
  • the location of the neutral axis 58 is determined based upon the shape of the container 2 and the distribution of mass. As shown in FIG. 4, the location of the neutral axis 58 varies along the length of the container 2 as the shape or geometry of the body 4 changes. As described above, the Bernoulli-Euler equation represents that the stress at any given point of the container 2, as force is being applied to the engageable surface 30, is proportional to the distance y of that point from the neutral axis 58.
  • the flange 8 of container 2 includes enlarged flange portions 38 along the intermediate portion 24 adjoining the break path 16.
  • the enlarged flange portions 38 increase the mass of the flange 8 adjoining the break path 16 relative to the body 4.
  • the increase of mass along the flange 8 shifts the neutral axis 58 within the intermediate portion 24 of the container 2 toward the flange 8 and away from the base surface 32 of the bend 34, as shown in FIG. 4.
  • the base surface 32 is further away from the neutral axis 58, thereby proportionally increasing the stress at the base surface 32 along the break path 16 and reducing the amount of force necessary to overcome the tensile strength of the body 4.
  • the neutral axis 58 shifts toward the flange 8 until the break reaches the flange 8.
  • the neutral axis 58 shifts toward the enlarged flange portions 38 due to the increased mass associated with the enlarged flange portions 38.
  • the movement of the neutral axis 58 guides the tearing along the break path 16.
  • the upper edge 6 of the body 4 includes inwardly extending portions 63 at the ends of the break path 16.
  • the inwardly extending portions 63 correspond to the enlarged portions 38 of the flange 8, thereby providing a reduced width of the body 4 extending between the enlarged flange portions
  • other configurations providing the enlarged flange portion 38 are contemplated, including altering the thickness of the flange 8 adjacent the break path 16 or extending the flange 8 further outward. Further, it is contemplated that the flange 8 could extend inwardly or a combination of inwardly or outwardly from the upper edge 6 of the body 4.
  • the body 4 includes the tapered profile 36, as shown in FIGS. 1, 2 and 17-19.
  • the tapered profile 36 provides a reduced width 46 of the base surface 32, which concentrates the stress produced by the application of force on the engageable surface 30 in a smaller area. As a result, the amount of force necessary to generate sufficient stress to straighten the bend 34 of the body 4 is reduced as compared to a container having a wider body.
  • the tapered profile 36 includes a peak 48 of the base surface 32 along the break path 16.
  • the peak 48 can include an angular configuration 49, as shown in FIG 17, to minimize the width 46 and thereby concentrate the stress on an even smaller area.
  • the peak 48 can include a rounded configuration 50.
  • the rounded configuration 48 also provides the reduced width 46 which is slightly larger than the width of the angular configuration 49. Although this requires more force to fracture the body 4, the resulting opening is larger and can accommodate a quicker and easier dispensation of the contents of the cavity.
  • the tapered profile 36 In addition to reducing the width 46 of the base surface 32 of the body 4, the tapered profile 36 also affects the position of the neutral axis 58 due to the reduced material utilized to provide a tapered profile 36 as compared to a more squared-off profile. As a result, the neutral axis 58 shifts toward the flange 8 and away from the base surface 32, thereby further increasing the stress along the base surface 32 as force is applied to the engageable surface 30.
  • the peak 48 can further include a nipple 52 on the rounded configuration 48 of the body 4.
  • the nipple 52 extends from the rounded configuration 48 to provide an angular or almost angular base nipple surface 54.
  • the base nipple surface 54 provides a nipple width 56 which would be less than the width 46 of the rounded configuration 48, but wider than an angular configuration 49.
  • the nipple 52 may shift the neutral axis 58 away from the flange 8, the distance y between the base surface 32 and the neutral axis 58 increases by a larger amount.
  • the nipple 52 thereby causes stress to concentrate along a smaller area, similar to what would be observed with an angular configuration 49, but provides an increased opening size associated with the rounded configuration 50.
  • the container 2 includes inward protruding ribs 64 on the handle portion 26 of the body 4.
  • the ribs 64 include a pair of spaced edges 66 and 68 opening to a recessed portion 70 of the body 4 and a corresponding widened section 72 of the flange 8.
  • the ribs 64 provide relief from tensile stress along the body 4 as force is applied to the engageable surface 30. In particular, increased stress on the body 4 urges the spaced edges 66 and 68 away from one another, thereby flattening out the recessed portion 70 of the rib 64.
  • the stress at individual locations along the body 4 is generally directly proportional to the distance y from the neutral axis 58, as shown in FIG. 20.
  • the average stress on the body 4 is the average of the stresses at the individual locations across the width of the body 4.
  • the inclusion of ribs 64 acts to reduce the stress along the body 4 adjacent to the flange 8.
  • stress along other portions of the body 4 increases so that the average stress along the body 4 does not change.
  • the inclusion of ribs 64 causes stress to increase with distance y along a curve which more closely resembles an exponential curve than the linear relationship shown in FIG. 20.
  • the stress on the body 4 adjacent the flange 8 is reduced, while the stress at the base surface 32 is increased significantly.
  • the recessed portions 70 of the ribs 64 are configured so that the widened sections 72 of the flange 8 adjoining the ribs 64 are not wider than the enlarged portion 38 of the flange 8 adjoining the break path 16. If the widened sections 72 were wider, the neutral axis 58 would be affected and the fracture would follow a ragged path toward the ribs 64 rather than a smooth, predefined path along the break path 16.
  • the ribs 64 further provide structural strength to the container 2 to resist collapse of the container 2.
  • the body 4 and flange 8 are preferably formed as a single member, as shown in FIGS. 1-4.
  • the body 4 and flange 8 can be formed by known processes, in particular thermoforming.
  • the body 4 and flange 8 are preferably constructed of a material which is strong enough to be handled, filled and transported. Further, the material must be brittle enough to allow for the body 4 to be fractured along the bend 34. Preferably, the material has low tear propagation strength so that after the initial fracture of the bend 34, the cleavage can continue without excessive force.
  • exemplary materials include natural or low-impact polystyrene, medium impact polystyrene, and biaxially oriented polystyrene.
  • the body 4 has a wall thickness 18 selected to provide a robust container which can withstand the rigors of filling, distribution and handling. As indicated above, the wall thickness 18 remains generally constant about the break path 16. In some instances, the wall thickness 18 may range from about 0.3 mm to about 6 mm. In other instances, the wall thickness 18 may range from about 0.6 mm to about 1 mm. Further, in some cases it may be desirable to have a generally constant wall thickness along the entire body 4 to provide a constant level of protection along the container 2.
  • a functional inner coating or layer can be applied to an inner surface 74 of the body 4.
  • the inner coating provides additional safeguards, such as acting as a sealant or an oxygen barrier.
  • the addition of coatings to the inner surface 74 of the body 4 does not affect the fracturing processes as the fracturing occurs and is initiated on the outer surface 33 of the body 4. As such, the coating is applied in an amount to provide functional properties, not to provide structural support.
  • the outer cover 12 is made of a pliable material. The outer cover 12 may be affixed to the body 4 after the cavity is filled by a permanent adhesive seal, heat welding, or ultrasonic bonding.
  • the outer cover material is selected to be able to act as a hinge between the handle portion 26 and the distal portion 28 once the bend 34 has been fractured.
  • the outer cover 12 is selected so as to not fracture or otherwise break as the body 4 is fractured.
  • the outer cover 12 may be the same or different material than the body 4.
  • the cover 12 may be made from a single layer of polymer sheet, such as polypropylene, or from a laminate material containing, for example, a combination of polymer, paper or aluminum foil layers.
  • the cover 12 can be printed to identify the product or the contents stored in the container 2.
  • the flange 8 can be configured to remain intact when the body is fractured and, with the cover 12, acts as a hinge between the handle portion 26 and the distal portion 28.
  • the body 4 is configured to be recloseable as disclosed in U.S. Patent Application No. 11/771,372 filed June 29, 2007, which is hereby incorporated in its entirety herein.
  • the wall portions 42 and 44 can be configured to provide a friction fit therebetween after the body 4 has been fractured.
  • the wall portion 44 can include a protrusion 76 extending along the outer surface 30 thereof.
  • the protrusion 76 can be configured to be received within the cavity and engage an inner surface 74 of the wall portion 42, thereby resisting pivoting of the distal portion 26 about the hinge.
