Abstract
A container of a substantially rigid material has spaced lugs (16) formed on its neck for engagement by complementary lugs (56) on the skirt of a plastics closure (50). In order to prevent the closure from "backing-off" during prolonged storage, each container lug has a rib (36) along which the associated closure lug must ride when the closure is being applied. The closure lug provides a space (62) in which the rib is accommodated when the closure is fitted. Further surfaces (58, 32, 60) on the container and closure prevent overturning and limit downward movement of the closure. <IMAGE>
Description
"CLOSURE SYSTEMS FOR CONTAINERS"
This invention relates to closure systems for containers, in particular those in which a plastics closure is fitted to a glass bottle or jar.
Closure systems are known in which inwardly projecting spaced lug formations on the rim of a pressed metal closure engage beneath the undersurfaces of outwardly projecting lug formations on the generally cylindrical outer surface or finish on the neck of a glass bottle to hold the closure in its closure position. In such a closure system both the lug formations on the closure and the under surfaces of the bottle lug formations are circumferentially directed, without substantially any axial component of direction, and the axial motion required to move the closure axially into closure position is achieved by inclined lead-in surfaces of the bottle lug formations with which the leading ends of the closure lug formations may make camming engagement as the closure is rotated.Overturning of the closure on the bottle is prevented by vertical surfaces of the bottle lug formations which form end stops against which the leading ends of the closure lug formations may abut. Usually the bottle is formed with a continuous peripheral bead, which together with the undersurface and the end stop surface of each bottle lug formation forms a substantially rectangular slot or groove open at its trailing end and dimensioned for receiving and locating a closure lug formation within it.
It is also well known that thermoplastics materials may with advantage be used instead of metal for many packaging applications.
In attempting to substitute plastics for metal for the closure of a closure system as described above, however,
Applicants have met difficulties caused by the tendency of plastics materials to-creep or rela.x appreciably under stress over a period of time, and their much greater deformability and flexibility in relation to metal.These characteristics were found to have two important and respective results on the performance of the closure, namely:- (a) During any extended period of time after the closure had been fitted on the bottle, it tended to "back off", that is to say, loosened or rotated in the reverse, unscrewing direction, so jeopardising the effectiveness of the seal made with the bottle; in extreme cases, particularly where the bottle was subject to vibration, the closure became free of the bottle and could be dislodged from the bottle neck, and
(b) The closure could be inadvertently over-rotated in the screwing-up direction, by riding of the closure lugs over the end stops of the bottle lug formations.
It is a primary object of the present invention to provide a closure system formed by a plastics closure in combination with a container of glass or other substantially rigid material, from which at least the effect (a) described above is absent, or substantially so.
Accordingly, the invention provides, in combination, a container of a substantially rigid material (e.g.glass) having a mouth-defining rim portion formed with a plurality of spaced outwardly projecting lug formations, Dand a closure of thermoplastics material having a plurality of inwardly projecting lug formations for engagement with said container lug formations, each container lug formation having a first part arranged to provide a circumferentially directed undersurface for Dengagement by a circumferentially directed upper surface of a closure lug formation whereby to hold the closure axially in closure position, and having a further part arranged to provide a lead-in surface for camming engagement by the leading end of the closure lug formation as the closure is rotated towards its closure position, wherein a protruberance is formed on the container rim portion adjacent the undersurface of at least one of the container lug formations, in a position to be overriden by a closure lug moving to or from its closure position, and each closure lug formation is interrupted or terminated so as to provide space in which a said protruberance can be accommodated when the closure lug formation is in closure poSition.
Preferably, the closure system is also arranged to prevent or substantially reduce effect (b) above; in accordance with a preferred feature of the invention, therefore, at least one of the closure lug formations has first and second parts, the first part which is formed with the said upper surface and the second part of which is arranged to resist overturning of the closure beyond its closure position by engagement with the lead-in surface of a container lug formation, the first and second parts being spaced apart by a gap in which a said protruberance may be adcommodated, and the or each protruberance being located in relation to its respective container lug formation for accommodation in the gap. The second part of the said closure lug then advantageously comprises an inclined bar arranged to make face-to-face abutment with the lead-in surface.
In order that the invention may be more fully understood a closure system embodying the invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
Fig.l is a perspective view from above of the neck of a glass bottle;
Fig.2 shows a detail of the bottle neck to an enlarged scale and taken in cross-section along the line
II-II of Fig.l; and
Fig.3 is a perspective view from below of a plastics closure adapted for closing and sealing the bottle illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2.
Referring firstly to Fig.l, a glass bottle for, for example, salad cream has a neck 10 which is formed with a generally cylindrical outer surface or finish 12 and is located above a continuous peripheral bead 14 having a generally frustoconical upper shoulder 15. The neck defines the mouth of the bottle, and has three regularly spaced lugs 16 capable of engagement by complementary lug formations of a closure (Fig.3) to hold the closure on the bottle in sealing relation with the bottle mouth as is later to be described.
Each lug 16 projects radially outwardly from the surface 12 and has three parts identified by the reference numerals 20, 22, 24.
The central one 22 of the three parts of the lug 16 has an undersurface 26 which is disposed in spaced and parallel relation to the shoulder 15 of the peripheral bead 14 so as to form a circumferentially directed and generally rectangular slot 28 for receiving a closure lug.
The trailing, right-hand (as shown) part 20 of the lug 16 provides an inclined lead-in surface 30 which forms with the bead 14 a convergent entrance to the slot 28.
The leading or left-hand part 24 of the lug 16 provides an axially directed surface 32 forming a wall which closes the leading end of the slot 28. The part 24 additionally provides an inclined guidance surface 34 which, as indicated, is disposed in spaced opposition to the inclined surface 30 of the consecutive lug 16 in the screwing-up direction.
The lug 16 as described above is conventional, but in accordance with the invention, and as shown also in Fig.2, it further includes a radially projecting vertical rib 36 which extends across the mouth of the slot 28 between the shoulder 15 of the bead 14 and the junction of the undersurfaces 26, 30 of the parts 22,20. As will become apparent, the rib 36 is intended for a closure lug to ride over it in each direction of turning of the closure. It accordingly has leading and trailing ramp faces 40, 42 joined along an apex line 44. The height of the apex line (radially of the neck 10) is the same as, or slightly smaller than, the common height of the' parts 20, 22, 24.
Referring now to Fig.3, the closure 50 is to be understood to be moulded from any suitable thermoplastics material, for example high density polyethylene, polypropylene or nylon. It has a generally plane closure panel 52 and a generally cylindrical peripheral skirt 54.
Adjacent the closure panel 52 within its interior, the closure 50 has a suitable device for making sealing engagement with the neck 10 around the bottle mouth. The sealing device may be conventional and is therefore not shown or described. It may, for example, be a separate sealing wad or disc, a flowed-in plastisol sealing compound or an integral sealing fin or similar formation.
If desired, a disc of a suitable material may be sealed across the bottle mouth to provide a primary and hermetic closure for the bottle to the point of first use; the disc may initially be applied as part of the closure, and heat-sealed to the bottle neck by the packer after the iclosure has been fitted to the bottle.
Carried by the skirt 54 and projecting radially into the closure interior are three lugs 56, one for each container lug 16. Each lug 56 has two parts 58, 60 separated by a gap 62.
The leading part 60 of the lug is a circumferentially directed bar which is dimensioned to be received within the slot 28 of the associated container lug when the closure is fully engaged in the container. The uppermost surface of the bar as shown then engages the undersurface 26 of the container lug to apply axial pressure to the closure and hold it firmly in its closure position.
To achieve the closure position, the closure is oriented so that its bars 60 overlie the inclined guidance surfaces 34 of the container lugs, whereupon downward axial movement accompanied by rotation of the closure in the clockwise direction cause the bars 60 to enter the slots 28 of the container lugs, with any necessary assistance by the guidance surfaces and the lead-in surfaces 30.
In moving to their closure positions within the slots 28 the bars 60 must ride along the ribs 36. The bars are initially forced onto the ribs by camming engagement of their leading ends with the trailing ramp faces 42 of the ribs. Thereafter they slide along the apex lines 44 until shortly before the closure position is reached; their trailing ends then move down the leading ramp faces 40 of the ribs, and the ribs become accommodated within the gaps 62 of the closure lugs when the closure is fully engaged.
It is to be understood that the overriding action of the bars 60 along the ribs 36 is accompanied by substantial deformation of the closure, in particular its skirt 54, and requires a substantial torque to achieve it.
A similar torque is correspondingly required to achieve overriding when the closure is being unscrewed, and there is therefore little or no possibility that because of creep in the plastics during long periods of storage etc.
the closure can "back-off", that is to say, turn in the reverse direction, sufficiently to impair the efficiency of the seal provided by the sealing device.
Resistance against overturning of the closure beyond its fully engaged position by the packer or the consumer is available in conventional manner from engagement of the leading ends of the bars 60 with the end stop surfaces 32 of the container lugs 16. Additional resistance to overturning is made available by the trailing parts 58 of the closure lugs 56, which are in the form of bars inclined at the same angle as the lead-in surfaces 30 and disposed to come into face-to-face abutment with the lead-in surfaces. It may be preferred for the primary resistance against overturning to be provided by this engagement of the items 58,30. The bars 58 accordingly being located so that their engagement with the surfaces 30 will occur in advance of any engagement of the items 60,32.Some further resistance to overscrewing may also be provided by engagement of the leading ends of the bars 58 with the ribs 36.
When the bars 58 and the lead-in surfaces 30 engage to prevent overturning of the closure, a substantial axial camming force may be generated between them. In order to prevent crushing or other excessive distortion of the sealing device from occurring in response to this force, a downwardly facing annular shoulder 64 is moulded around the interior of the closure skirt in a position to react the force by engagement with circumferentially directed upper surfaces 66 (Fig.l) of the container lugs 16.
It is preferred that, as shown, the inclination of the leading ramp surface 40 of the ribs 36 is less than that of the leading ramp surface 42, so as to facilitate removal of the closure without impairing its ability to resist "backing-off".
As particularly described, all three container lugs 16 have associated ribs 36. In a modification, however, only one or two of the lugs has or have associated ribs.
The rib or ribs 36 may if desired be replaced by rounded pimple-like protruberances which are separate from the remainder of the container lugs 16.
Furthermore, the one or more ribs or pimples may be advanced in position so as to lie part way along the slots 28 rather than at their trailing ends, as shown; the closure lugs are then modified accordingly to have a foreshortened front bar 60 and a tick-shaped trailing bar 58, the two bars being separated by a gap 58 as before.
The embodiment described above is designed to require only a small modification of existing bottle moulds, in order to incorporate the ribs 36; moreover, the closures can be applied by the same capping machines as are now used for the existing metal closures, little or no adjustment of the machines being required.
For some applications of the invention, particularly those which employ closures made from a relatively stiff thermoplastics material such as nylon, the anti-overturning formations which are provided in the described embodiment by the trailing bars 58 may be omitted.
