An open mouth surrounds the receiving area. A cap closure (6) is arranged over the open mouth. The cap closure(6)includes a fitment (8) engageable around the mouth and a lid (10) hingedly connected to the fitment (8). The plastic membrane (12) is integrally molded with the cap closure (6) and sealingly prevents leakage from the receiving area. The membrane (12) includes a minor area non-frangibly attached to the fitment (8) having a V-shaped outer border (18) with sections of the border converging to a pivot point (22), and a major area frangibly attached along its perimeter to the fitment (8) and to the V-shaped outer border (18). A pull tab (24) is formed on a surface of the membrane at the pivot point (22).

Description

CONTAINER WITH INTEGRATED PLASTIC TEAR AWAY MEMBRANE
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Field of the Invention
The invention concerns a frangible membrane for sealing containers, particularly for sealing jars having a flip-top cap closure.
The Related Art
WO 2009/109480 (Domoy et al.) discloses a jar for a cosmetic product, advantageously for cold cream or petrolatum. The jar has a non-circular container body and a cap closure. The cap closure includes a fitment engagable around the mouth of the jar. A lid is hingedly connected to the fitment. Jars of the aforementioned description have experienced a number of problems. Under extremely hot climate conditions, mobility of product contained within the jar increases to the level of leakage. Also there is the issue of potential tampering.
Accordingly, there is a need to develop a seal system that provides a potential purchaser evidence of non-tamper on a retail shelf. Also there is a need for a seal that prevents any product leakage, especially for those products distributed in hot climates.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
A container (2) is provided which includes:
(i) a container body (4) with a receiving area capable of holding a product, the container (2) having an open mouth surrounding the receiving area;
(ii) a cap closure (6) arranged over the open mouth, the closure (6) including a fitment (8) engagable around the mouth and a lid (10) hingedly connected to the fitment (8); and
(iii) a plastic membrane (12) integrally molded with the cap closure (6) and surrounded by a supporting wall (14) projecting upwards from the fitment (18), the membrane (12) sealingly closing off the mouth, the membrane (12) including:
(a) at one end a minor area non-frangibly attached to the supporting wall which is a shelf (16) having a V-shaped outer border (18) with sections of the border (20a, 20b) angularly converging to a pivot point (22);
(b) a major area at a second end of the membrane in part being frangibly attached along a perimeter thereof to the supporting wall (14) and in another part of the perimeter to the V-shaped outer border (18); and
(c) a pull tab (24) projecting outwardly from a surface of the membrane and attached adjacent to the pivot point (22) of the V-shaped outer border (18).
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING
Further features and advantages of the present invention will become more evident upon consideration of the drawing in which:
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a container according to the present invention
Fig. 2 is a top view of a cap closure in an open position;
Fig. 3 is a right side plan view of the open cap closure shown in Fig. 2;
Fig. 4 is a cross-sectional view along line 4-4 shown in Fig. 2; and
Fig. 5 is an underside view of the open cap closure shown in Fig. 2.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Previous problems of leakage and absence of a non-tamper proof seal have been resolved by use of a fracturable membrane co-injection molded with the cap closure.
Fig. 1 illustrates a preferred embodiment. Therein is shown a container 2 featuring a container body 4 with an open mouth secured by a cap closure 6. The closure includes a fitment 8 and a hingedly connected lid 10.
Lid 10 is attached to the fitment via a hinge 1 1 . Crescent shaped indentations 13a, 13b face one another and are fashioned into a roof of the lid. Fig. 2 and 3 illustrate a plastic membrane 12 integrally molded with the cap closure and serving to sealingly close off the mouth of the container body. A supporting wall 14 projects upward from the fitment and surrounds the membrane. The membrane at one end has a minor area non-frangibly attached to the supporting wall which is a shelf 16. The shelf has a V-shaped outer border 18 with sections of the border 20a, 20b angularly converging to a pivot point 22. A major area of the membrane is a removable section 17, frangibly attached to the supporting wall and shelf.
A pull tab 24 may in a preferred embodiment be a ring 26. Support to the ring is provided by an attached post 28 projecting outwardly from a surface of the membrane adjacent the pivot point 22. The post at point of attachment to the membrane as shown in Fig. 4 features at least two feet 30 giving the post a broader connection than a diameter of the post at the ring attachment end.
A pair of intersecting bars 32a, 32b are formed on the minor area (i.e. the shelf) of the membrane. Together these bars trace the V-shaped outer border along at least 80% of a length thereof. The bars form an angle at the point of intersection ranging from 90 to 170°, preferably from 1 10 to 150°C.
Indicia including a directional arrow 34 can be molded into the membrane as instructional for consumers on how to remove the seal. Along a border of the removable section 17 of the membrane and tracing along the V-shaped outer border of the shelf is a narrow web 36 easily torn by a consumer's upwardly pulling motion on the ring 36. Thickness of the membrane relative to the web may range from about 20:1 to about 5:1 , preferably from about 15:1 to about 8:1 , and optimally about 10:1 . In a preferred embodiment, the web is 30/1 ,000 of an inch thick and the web is 3/1 ,000 of an inch thick (2.54 cm to the inch). Improvement in the ease of fracturing the web require the post to be attached to the membrane as close as possible to the pivot point 22. Additionally, it is desirable to have the V-shaped outer border 18 be at the smallest angle possible. A counter factor to a smaller angle is the practical requirement that shelf 16 not substantially obstruct access to the product in the container body. When the product is petrolatum, the shelf serves the further purpose of allowing a consumer to wipe off excess petrolatum from their finger against borders of the shelf.
Fig. 5 is an opposite face (undersurface) view of the plastic membrane 12. It reveals the trace of the frangible web 36 and, with special clarity, the V-shaped outer border 18 of shelf 16. Best seen in this illustration is a central rib 38 projecting downwardly into the container body and having a length oriented toward the pivot point 22. In the preferred embodiment, a lateral rib 40a, 40b flanks each side of the central rib and are similarly arranged on the shelf projecting downward into the container body. Both of the lateral ribs are longer than the central rib and taper toward one another.
While the invention has been described in detail with reference to specific embodiments thereof, it will be apparent to one skilled in the art that various changes and modifications can be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope thereof.
