March 23, 1965 w. L. SPEICHER DISPENSER CAP HAVING A SLIDING CLOSURE Filed Feb. 5, 1963 F/af INVENTOR Wamc: A. SPAS/CHER ATTORNEY United States Patent 3,174,661 DISPENSER CAP HAVING A SLIDING CLOSURE Wallace 1.. Speicher, North Kansas City, Mo., assignor to Lakeland Packaging, Inc, St. Paul, Minn, a corporation of Minnesota Filed Feb. 5, 1963, Ser. No. 256,44? 6 Claims. (Cl. 222545) This invention relates to an improvement in dispenser caps for receptacles and deals particularly with a cap which may be normally closed and which may be opened to permit the dispensing of viscous liquids, powdered solids, and the like.
Many caps have been produced for use on receptacles and designed for the dispensing of various materials including viscous liquids such as glue. One of the biggest disadvantages of most such caps lies in the fact that they are not self-cleaning, and if self-cleaning, they are expensive to produce. Caps have been produced including plungers, which in one position, close the outlet of the cap, and in another position open the outlet. For the most part, however, these caps include a number of moving parts, springs, and other such elements which make them difiicult to assemble and costly to produce. It is an object of the present invention to provide a dispenser cap which includes merely a cap body and a single movable plunger, providing a structure which may be economically produced, and readily assembled.
A feature of the present invention resides in the provision of a cap including a cap body of resilient material such as polyethylene resin including an anchoring flange designed for attachment to a receptacle, and a generally conical hollow projection attached at its base to the flange. A plunger is recessed into a side of the projection and includes a plunger end which extends into the projection and extends through the apex of the conical projection in one position thereof. The plunger end may be retracted during the dispensing operation.
A feature of the present invention resides in the fact that the dispensing cap is formed of a material which is sufficiently resilient to permit a groove to be formed in the exterior surface of the cap to slidably support a plunger which is wider than the entrance to the groove at the surface of the cap. In other words, the plunger may be inserted by threading an end of the plunger through an aperture at the end of the groove and into the interior of the cap, and then merely pressing the plunger into the groove, the walls defining the groove spreading sufiiciently to permit this insertion. Once the plunger is slidably supported in the groove, it may be readily moved from one extreme position to the other, the plunger end acting to close the aperture tip in one extreme position and to open it in the other.
These and other objects and novel features of the present invention will be more clearly and fully set forth in the following specification and claims.
In the drawings forming a part of the specification:
FIGURE 1 is an elevational view of the cap as it would appear mounted upon a receptacle.
FIGURE 2 is a vertical sectional view through the cap, showing the general arrangement of parts therein.
FIGURE 3 is a View similar to FIGURE 2 showing the plunger in open or retracted position.
FIGURE 4 is a bottom plan view of the cap removed from the receptacle.
FIGURE 5 is a sectional view through a portion of the cap, the position of the section being indicated by the line 55 of FIGURE 2.
FIGURE 6 is a sectional view through a portion of the cap, the position of the section being indicated by the line 66 of FIGURE 2.
3,174,6611 Patented Mar. 23, 1965 FIGURE 7 is a perspective view of the plunger removed from the cap.
The cap A is designed as a closure for a receptacle diagrammatically illustrated by the letter B. The receptacle B may be formed of any desired material, and often comprises a flexible resilient plastic container, the walls of which may be compressed inwardly to assist in the dispensing of the product. The receptacle B is preferably provided with an externally threaded neck 10 or other means of retaining the cap A in place thereupon.
The cap includes a generally cylindrical flange 11 having external threads 12 or other means of attachment with the receptacle B. The flange 11 may be provided near its lower end with a peripheral reinforcing flange 13 and may be provided at its other end with an inwardly ottset ring portion 14 which connects the flange 11 with a generally conical projection 15. In actual practice, the cone shaped projection 15 is tilted so that the base of the cone shaped projection is not normal to the axis of the cone. In other words, the projection 15 is preferably arranged with one side wall 16 substantially parallel with the axis of the cylindrical flange 11 to simplify the dispensing of the product. The apex of the conical projection 15 is preferably apertured as indicated at 17, the aperture illustrated being cylindrical. In other forms of construction, the aperture 17 may be otherwise shaped and, as an example, may be rectangular so as to dispense a ribbon of product.
The inwardly offset portion 14 provides a shoulder 19 at the end of the internally threaded flange 11 to seal against the top of the receptacle. Thus the conically shaped projection actually forms a continuation of the passage through the interior of the neck of the receptacle.
A rounded rib forming a tubular wall 20 is formed in the wall 21 of the conical projection 15 opposite the generally vertical side 16 thereof. This rounded wall 20 has a closed lower end 22 and an apertured upper end 23. In the particular arrangement illustrated, a groove 24 is provided in the wall 20 having its inner surface 25 on a cylindrical plane, the surface extending somewhat more than one hundred eighty degrees in section as indicated in FIGURE 5. A plunger 26 is slidably supported in the groove 24 and the plunger is somewhat shorter than the groove so that it may slide from the position shown in FIGURE 2 of the drawings to the opposite extreme position illustrated in FIGURE 3. The plunger 26 is provided with a closure pin 27 of somewhat less diameter than the body of the plunger 26. This closure pin 27 extends through the apertured end 23 of the groove 24, and in the position illustrated in FIGURE 2 this closure pin 27 extends through the aperture 17 to form a closure therefor. In its other extreme position, as indicated in FIGURE 3, the aperture 17 is opened to permit the dispensing of the rece tacle contents. While the closure pin 27 has been described as circular in cross section, obviously it may be otherwise shaped, and if the closure pin is rectangular in cross section, and the aperture 17 is similarly shaped to snugly accommodate the plunger, a ribbon of product may be dispensed in place of a cylindrical bead.
As indicated in the drawings, an ear or thumb piece 29 is attached to the exposed surface of the plunger 26 to extend in a direction generally normal to the axis of the plunger. The ear or thumb piece 29 is preferably provided with a forward surface 30 arranged on substantially a plane normal to the axis of the plunger, while the opposite surface 31 of the ear is inclined rearwardly so that the ear is considerably thickest at its area of connection with the plunger than at its outer extremity. In actual practice, this particular construction is advantageous over an ear which has opposite parallel surfaces. In the first place, the tapered construction materially strengths the ear. Furthermore, the inclined rear surface 31 creates a tendency for the operator to press the plunger inwardly toward the base of the groove as the plunger is moved from the position shown in FIG- URE 3 toward the position shown in FIGURE 2. As a result, the plunger is forced toward the base of the groove, eliminating any tendency for the plunger to become disengaged from the groove. Obviously, it is possible to remove the plunger from the groove as well as toinsert it into the groove, and the inclined rear face 31 greatly reduces this tendency. While retracting the plunger, there is a normal tendency to hold the plunger against the base of the groove due tothe fact that the plunger is being pulled rearwardly rather than pushed forwardly.
The cap is molded in two separate pieces, and the plunger 26 with its closure pin 27 is somewhat longer in length than the groove 24. However, the plunger as well as the body of the cap is formed of resilient plastic, and as a result, the closure pin 27 of the plunger may be bowed sufficiently to extend through the apertured groove end 23. This can be accomplished while the plunger 26 is out of the groove 24. When the closure pin 27 of the plunger has been inserted, the plunger body may be pressed into the groove 24, the walls of the grooves spreading apart sufficiently to permit the plunger to snap into place. Once in place, the plunger may be moved between its opposite extreme positions by engaging the ear 29 between the thumb and finger.
In accordance with the patent statutes, the principles of construction and operation of this improvement in dispenser caps have been described, and while an endeavor has been made to set forth the best embodiment thereof, it should be understood that changes may be made Within the scope of the following claims without departing from the spirit of the invention.
