Definitions

  • Toothpastes, ointments, creams, and other fluid products and materials are commonly packaged for shipment and sale within a flexible tube.
  • the flexible tube which can be manufactured from a plastic or other polymer, a metal alloy, composites, etc., provides resilient protection for the product during shipment and storage, and allows controlled dispensing of the product by the user.
  • Some materials stored within the tube have a relatively high chemical stability, and thus the volume of material within the sealed tube remains largely unchanged.
  • Other materials for example dentifrices including hydrogen peroxide, may be more chemically unstable and/or may outgas during shipment and storage, thereby resulting in pressure changes within the sealed tube.
  • An increase in pressure within the tube can result in inflation and bulging of the tube, an unattractive tube appearance, product expulsion and spillage from the tube when the tube is unsealed, and may result in decreased customer satisfaction and brand loyalty.
  • a pressure increase can result in rupturing of side and/or end seams, thereby rendering the product defective and unusable.
  • a flexible tube for packaging a paste or other material that overcomes the deficiencies of some conventional tubes would be desirable.
  • a tube for storing and dispensing a product can include a tube body having a tube wall and at least one crease in the tube body, wherein the tube is configured to store the product within an interior of the tube, the at least one crease in the tube body is configured to deflect from a contracted position toward an expanded position in response to an increase in pressure within the interior of the tube, the tube comprises a first volume when the at least one crease is in the contracted position, the tube comprises a second volume when the at least one crease is in the expanded position, and the second volume is greater than the first volume.
  • a method for accommodating an increasing pressure within a factory-sealed tube can include placing a product within an interior of a tube comprising a tube body and at least one crease in the tube body wherein, subsequent to placing the product within the tube, the at least one crease is in a contracted position.
  • the method can further include sealing the product within the interior of the tube using a factory seal and, with the product sealed within the interior of the tube by the factory seal, deflecting the at least one crease from the contracted position to an expanded position during an increase in pressure within the interior of the tube.
  • FIG. 1A is a side view
  • FIGS. 1B and 1C are edge views, depicting a tube including one or more creases in accordance with an embodiment of the present teachings
  • FIGS. 2A and 2B are perspective depictions of a tube according to an embodiment of the present teachings
  • FIGS. 3 and 4 are perspective depictions of tubes during use according to embodiments of the present teachings.

  • FIGS. It should be noted that some details of the FIGS. have been simplified and are drawn to facilitate understanding of the present teachings rather than to maintain strict structural accuracy, detail, and scale.
  • An embodiment of the present teachings can provide a tube for a fluid product, for example a gel product or a paste product such as a toothpaste including, for example, hydrogen peroxide, such that the tube reduces or eliminates the adverse effects of product expansion during, for example, shipping and/or storage.
  • a creases are formed as part of one or more walls of the tube.
  • a “container” refers to a tube, receptacle, vessel, vial, bottle, canister, can, box or other holder that is used to store and/or ship a product within the container.
  • a “crease” refers to a pleat, fold, (e.g., an accordion fold), or dimple in the tube, including in the tube body, tube shoulder, and/or tube cap, that moves, unfolds, expands, or otherwise deflects under increasing pressure within the tube; e.g., when the pressure reaches a level sufficient to exert a force great enough to cause the crease to move, unfold, expand or otherwise deflect.
  • a “crease” also refers to a lightly tacked region, such as a lightly tacked seam, fold, dot, or dimple, for example in the tube body, that deflects, releases or otherwise unbonds under increasing pressure within the tube; e.g., when the pressure reaches a level sufficient to exert a force great enough to cause the tacked region to unbond or release.
  • the lightly tacked region may be formed using, for example, heat, pressure, and/or an adhesive.
  • the crease may be visible on an exterior of the tube unless, for example, covered by a separate label, sleeve, or other covering (not individually depicted for simplicity).
  • the product is placed within the tube, (e.g., during manufacturing), and then the tube is factory sealed, for example, with a threaded cap, a friction cap, a foil seal, and/or other cover. If expansion of the product within the factory-sealed tube occurs, the increased or increasing pressure within the tube deflects, moves, unfolds, articulates, actuates, or releases the one or more creases, for example from an initial contracted position to a deflected or expanded position.
  • the tube has a first volume when in the crease or creases are in the contracted position and a second volume when in the expanded position, where the second volume is greater than the first volume.
  • the interior volume of the tube is increased as needed and the disclosed tube maintains a more normal pressure within the tube compared to a tube that does not include the one or more creases.
  • uncontrolled bulging or rupturing of the seams is decreased or eliminated.
  • the shape and location of the one or more creases can be designed and controlled to provide a tube that is attractive in appearance regardless of whether the one or more creases are in their initial contracted position or their pressure-induced deflected or expanded position.
  • the creases can effectively increase the volume of the tube under or in response to increasing or increased pressure from within the tube caused, for example, by outgassing of the product within the tube or some other effect.
  • the storage volume within the tube can be increased to maintain a desired pressure or pressure range within the interior of the tube.
  • the areas of the factory-sealed tube that form the creases deflected and/or expanded to, in effect, increase the volume of the interior of the factory-sealed tube, thereby maintaining pressure within the tube at a more desirable level, preferably at or near 1 atmosphere.
  • the deflection and/or expansion of the one or more creases may occur at an internal tube pressure of less than about 35 pounds per square inch (psi), or at less than about 25 psi, or at less than about 20 psi.
  • the tube has a first volume when the one or more creases are in an initial contracted position and a second volume when the one or more creases are in a deflected, expanded position, where in the second volume is from about 5% to about 40% greater, or from about 5% to about 30% greater, or from about 10% to about 20% greater than the first volume.

  • the creases are implemented as folds in the tube wall that form a pair of pleats 30 , with one pleat 30 on each of a first edge and a second edge of the tube body 14 , where the first edge is opposite the first edge.
  • the folds in the tube wall that form the pleats 30 deflect, articulate, or unfold accordion-style away from each other when pressure inside the tube 10 pushes against the pleats 30 and the wall of the tube 10 with sufficient force, such as during a volumetric increase of the contents within the tube 10 .
  • the volume of the contents of the tube 10 and the pressure within the tube 10 may increase if, for example, the product 12 within the tube 10 outgases or otherwise expands.
  • the pleats 30 allow the tube 10 to expand such that the volume within the interior of the tube 10 increases, thereby maintaining a desired pressure within the tube 10 .

  • FIG. 2A depicts the tube 40 in an initial contracted position
  • FIG. 2B depicts the tube 40 in a pressure-induced deflected or expanded position after expansion of the tube resulting from sufficient pressure within the tube 40
  • the first crease 50 A and the second crease 50 B deflect or unfold and the crimp end 48 of the tube 40 extends in a longitudinal direction away from the cap 42 when pressure inside the tube 40 pushes with deflection-sufficient force against the first crease 50 A and the second crease 50 B and the wall of the tube 40 , such as in response to or during a volumetric increase of the contents within the tube 40 .
  • a length of the tube 40 increases to provide an increased volume within the tube 40 to accommodate an increase in volume of the contents within the tube 40 , as shown in FIG. 2B compared to FIG. 2A .

  • the tube 60 is folded back onto itself at the crease 64 in an initial contracted position 66 .
  • the crimp end 62 of the tube 60 unfolds, articulates, deflects, or extends along the crease 64 as depicted to increase a volume within the tube 60 and to result in a pressure-induced deflected or expanded position 70 .
  • FIG. 4 depicts an embodiment for a tube 80 , where a crimp end 82 of the tube 80 includes a plurality of creases 84 extending laterally across the tube 80 .
  • the crimp end 82 is not folded back onto the tube 80 but is instead folded in a serpentine configuration using a plurality of creases 84 .
