Definitions
- This invention relates to a receptacle or container for containing contents and more particularly to a container or receptacle for containing milk, juice or other type of drink having a pour opening for permitting the contents to be discharged from the receptacle.
- a receptacle or container for a drink which can prevent the deposition of dust and water, and which can be easily imparted with barrier properties.
- a receptacle or container for a drink includes a cylindrical receptacle main body having an open upper end that is closed by a plastic lid provided with an opening for use in drinking. The opening is covered with an openable pull tab and the outer periphery of the lid is provided with a flange. A cover film is sealed to the flange to cover die lid.
- a receptacle or container for a drink in another form of the invention, includes a cylindrical receptacle main body having an open upper end that is closed by a plastic lid provided with an opening for use in drinking.
- the lid is provided with an upstanding flange that surrounds at least the opening in the lid.
- a cover film is sealed to the flange to cover the lid. Since the cover film is sealed so as to cover the upper lid or the opening in the lid, the upper surface of the lid or the portion of the lid containing the opening is shielded from the outer atmosphere. Thus, there is no fear of deposition of dust or water on the upper surface of the lid, particularly in the area of the lid where the opening is located. Thus, the upper surface of the lid can be maintained clean until the opening is actually exposed.
- the cover film having a relatively simple construction is formed of a film material also having oxygen barrier properties. This does away with the need for imparting barrier properties to the upper lid and the pull tab.
- Fig. 1 is an exploded perspective view of a portion of a receptacle according to one embodiment of the present invention illustrating the receptacle main body, the lid, the pull tab and the cover film;
- Fig. 2 is a perspective view of a portion of the receptacle shown in Fig. 1 with the cover film sealed to the lid;
- Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the receptacle shown in Fig. 2 showing the cover film removed and the pull tab opened;
- Fig. 4 is a cross sectional view of a lid and cover film utilized in a receptacle in accordance with another embodiment of the invention
- Fig. 5 is a perspective view of the lid and cover film shown in Fig. 4;
- Fig. 6 is a perspective view of the lid shown in Fig. 4 and 5 with a slightly different form of the cover film.
- Fig. 1 illustrates in exploded perspective view an upper portion of a receptacle or container for holding consumable liquid such as milk, juice or other types of drinks in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention.
- the receptacle 1 includes a cylindrical receptacle main body 10 having an open upper end 11 which is closed by an upper lid 20 formed of a plastic material.
- a cover film 50 is provided to cover the upper lid 20 so that the upper surface of the lid 20 is sealed.
- the receptacle main body 10 is constructed from a laminated sheet which is formed of synthetic resins and which is shaped into a cylindrical shape.
- the receptacle 1 also includes a bottom plate (not shown) which is formed of a similar material and which is attached to the lower end of the main body 10.
- the sheet or material constituting the receptacle main body 10 is constructed, for example, to have an EVOH (an ethylene/vinyl alcohol copolymer) layer possessing oxygen barrier properties. Other layers (e.g., an adhesive layer, etc.) are interposed between polyolefin (such as polyethylene) layers. This imparts oxygen barrier properties to the receptacle main body 10.
- the sheet can be shaped into the desired shape of the main body by, for example, vacuum molding. It is, of course, to be understood that the material constituting the receptacle main body 10 can take other forms, such as a sheet using paper and a metal layer.
- the upper lid 20 is in d e form of an approximately circular plate having an outer periphery provided with an upwardly protruded or extending flange 21 arranged to surround the lid 20.
- a d rough opening 23, shown by dotted outline in Fig. 1, is formed at a predetermined location in the upper lid 20.
- the dirough hole 23 communicates with the interior of the main body 10 to permit the contents to be drunk or otherwise discharged from the receptacle main body 10.
- the upper lid 20 is preferably formed by vacuum molding a plastic sheet made of a relatively inexpensive material having no oxygen barrier properties.
- a pull tab 30 made of a resin film is covers the opening 23 in the upper lid 20 to close and seal the opening 23.
- the pull tab 30 is secured to the upper surface of the upper lid 20.
- the pull tab 30 is approximately elliptical or ovaloid in shape and has a predetermined cut line 31 to thereby form a handle portion 33, an opening-sealing portion 35 and a fixing portion 37.
- the cover film 50 which is approximately circular in shape, is formed by punching out from a sheet having a barrier property similar to that of the sheet constituting the receptacle main body 10.
- the cover film 50 has the same or substantially the same diameter as that of die upper lid 20 and is provided with an outwardly extending manually graspable tag portion 51 at a predetermined position on me outer periphery.
- the tag portion 51 extends outwardly beyond the outer periphery of die upper lid 20, tiiereby facilitating grasping of the tag portion 51 and subsequent removal of the cover film 50.
- the upper lid 20 is mounted on the opened end 11 of the receptacle main body 10 containing a drink.
- me lower side of die flange 21 provided around die outer periphery of the upper lid 20 is thermally fuse-bonded to t-he upper side of the receptacle main body 10 to effect sealing.
- the cover film 50 is mounted to cover the upper lid 20.
- die lower side of me periphery of the cover film 50 is mermally fuse-bonded to me upper side of the flange 21 of the lid 20 for effecting the necessary sealing.
- the sealing may be effected by use of an adhesive.
- FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing d e upper portion of a tiius prepared receptacle 1 for a drink.
- mis receptacle 1 since the entire upper lid 20 is covered and sealed widi e cover film 50, dust and moisture are prevented from entering from outside on me upper lid 20. Therefore, the periphery of me opening 23 (see Fig. 1) for use in drinking is prevented from being fouled by dust and odier potential contaminants.
- the tag portion 51 of the cover film 50 is first grasped and pulled upward as shown by the dotted line configuration in Fig. 2.
- the cover film 50 is mus peeled off from me upper lid 20.
- the handle portion 33 of me pull tab 30 is pulled upward to peel me opening-sealing portion 35 off from the upper lid 20 as shown by the dotted line configuration in Fig. 3.
- e handle portion 33 of the pull tab 30 is caught by the flange 21 of die upper lid 20 as shown by die solid line in Fig. 3.
- the pull tab used in the receptacle according to the present invention is not limited to die specific structure illustrated and described above.
- Pull tabs having various other structures such as a structure in which a sheet-like pull tab is applied may be employed.
- the cover film 50 may be formed of a relatively inexpensive material having no barrier properties.
- the receptacle main body is not limited to a circular form as other shapes may be employed.
- Figs. 4 and 5 depict die features associated widi d e lid and d e cover film.
- diis alternative embodiment of die invention employs an upper lid 20 formed of a plastic material and a cover film 50 provided on and sealed to me upper lid 20.
- the upper lid 20 is provided with an upwardly extending flange 21 arranged to surround the lid 20, and an opening 23 for use in drinking or otherwise discharging the contents from die receptacle.
- the flange 21 includes a portion 21' extending completely around me periphery of d e lid 20 as well as anomer portion 21" that extends across the lid 20 from one point on d e periphery of me lid 20 to another point on the periphery of the lid 20.
- a portion of me upwardly extending flange 21 encircles the opening 23 diat is provided in the lid 23 as seen in Fig. 5.
- die upper lid 20 may be formed from a plastic sheet material made of a relatively inexpensive material having no barrier property.
- a pull tab is not attached on the opening 23. Rather, the opening is left uncovered except for me cover film 50.
- the cover film 50 may be formed from a sheet having a barrier middle layer and an easy peal outer layer.
- the cover film 50 has an outwardly extending manually graspable tag portion 51 at a position located along the outer periphery of the cover film 50.
- the tag portion 51 preferably extends beyond the outer periphery of the lid 20 and die flange 21.
- the cover film 50 is thermally fuse-welded to d e upper side of the flange 21 of the lid 20 along bodi the flange portion 21' encircling the outer periphery of d e lid 20 as well as die flange portion 21" extending across die lid 20. Thus a continuous seal is formed and two weld or seals areas 52 are provided.
- the cover film 50 prevents outside dust and moisture from being deposited on the lid 20. Further, the seal provided by the cover film 50 prevents the contents in the receptacle from leaking.
- me tag portion 51 of the cover film 50 is first grasped and pulled upward. The cover film 50 is thus peeled off from the upper lid 20 as well as the opening 23. The contents in the receptacle can then be drunk directly from the receptacle or can otherwise be discharged from the receptacle.
- Fig. 6 is a perspective view of another embodiment of the invention mat is similar to the embodiment depicted in Figs. 4 and 5 except that instead of the tag portion 51 , the cover film 50 is provided with a cut line 53 for easy peeling of d e cover film 50. An individual can penetrate the cover film 50 at the cut line 53 and dien remove the cover film 50 by peeling me cover film 50 off the upper lid 20.
- diat die present invention provides significant advantages widi respect to other known types of receptacles.
- the upper lid is sealed and covered by the cover film, me upper surface of the lid is shielded from outside, thereby eliminating the possibility of dust and moisture being deposited on the lid.
- the upper surface of me lid can be maintained clean and sanitary until die opening of die receptacle.
- the upper lid and the pull tab need not also be made of a material having barrier properties. Rather, it is sufficient that me cover film having a simple structure be formed of a material exhibiting barrier properties. Thus, the production costs can be reduced.
