Definitions

  • TITLE IMPROVED CONTAINER HAVING DUAL TAMPER-EVIDENT
  • This invention relates generally to a container for storing liquid, and more particularly, to a container that incorporates two tamper-evident features with readily observable indications for distinguishing between a container that has been opened for normal use and a container that has been opened and exposed to potential tampering .
  • Containers for storing permanent liquids are typically sealed with a cap, or closure, to prevent contamination and/or leakage of the stored product .
  • closures having a threaded cap, shaped for engaging threads on the mouth of a
  • closures include a tamper-evident feature, commonly a ring, attached to the container .
  • a tamper-evident feature commonly a ring
  • the tamper-evident ring slips past the threaded neck of the container .
  • the closure is loosened, or unscrewed, from the container for the first time, the tamper-evident ring is broken away from the closure . This indicates to a consumer or user that the container has been opened .
  • the broken tamper-evident ring remains on the container following removal of the closure .
  • containers are filled with the stored product prior to sealing the closure on the
  • the filled container and closure together are subjected to a
  • an induction seal is utilized for hermetically sealing the mouth of the container .
  • ink safety is a growing concern .
  • bottles of ink are opened, and portions are used for tattooing, the remaining ink remains in the bottle for later use .
  • Most conventional ink containers have a safety foil seal or lining covering the mouth of the bottle for protecting the ink contents .
  • the conventional tamper-evident ring In order to use the ink contained therein, the conventional tamper-evident ring must first be broken in order to remove the seal or lining covering the mouth . Once this occurs , it' s impossible to determine if the contents of the ink are later tampered with .
  • the present invention seeks to remedy the safety concern in the tattoo industry by providing a container having a closure with two tamper-evident features along with a pressure seal prior to first use .
  • he first tamper- evident feature indicates if ink within the container has been removed for use, while the second tamper-evident feature indicates if ink within the container has been exposed to the possibility of contamination .
  • a primary object of the present invention to provide an improved container having two tamper-evident features which provide the user with readily observable indications distinguishing between when the container has previously been opened for normal use and when the container has been opened and exposed to potential tampering . It is another object of the present invention to provide a tamper-evident cap which when first opened will provide the user with a readily observable indication that the container has previously been opened for normal use .
  • FIG. 1 is a front plan view of a container system of the present invention having a tamper-evident cap and a tamper-evident collar both having readily observable indications for determining potential tampering;

  • FIG. 8 is a bottom plan view of the collar of the container system of FIG. 6 thereof;
  • FIG. 9 is a plan view of the cap of the container system of FIG. 1, having a tamper-evident band;
  • FIG. 10 is a bottom plan view of the cap of the container system of FIG. 9 thereof;
  • FIG. 11 is a top plan view of the collar of the container system of FIG. 6 thereof.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates a container system 10 including a container 12, preferably a bottle, and a mating closure 30 screwed onto the bottle to create a leak-proof and air ⁇ tight seal.
  • the bottle 12 has a top 14, which includes a neck 16 defined by a mouth 18.
  • the neck 16 includes external threads 20.
  • the closure 30 includes a hollow collar 32 having a first section 34.
  • the first section 34 is adapted to be received over the neck 16 of the bottle 12.
  • the collar 32 includes a second section 36 having a protrusion 38.
  • the collar 32 includes an externally threaded section 40 and an internally threaded section 42.
  • the internally threaded section 42 of the collar 32 (shown in FIG. 5) is adapted to be received over the external threads 20 of the neck 16 of the bottle. This allows the collar 32 to rotate between a closed position 60 (shown in FIGS.
  • the closure 30 includes a cap 50 having an opening 52.
  • the cap 50 is adapted to be received over the collar 32 such that the opening 52 is aligned with the protrusion 38.
  • the cap 50 includes a band 51 positioned about the collar substantially between the first and second sections 34, 36 adjacent the externally threaded section 40 of the collar.
  • the cap 50 includes an internally threaded section 54 adapted to be received on the externally threaded section 40 of the collar 32, such that the cap 50 is both rotatably mounted and axially moveable thereon.
  • the cap 50 is able to rotate relative to the collar 32 between a lowered sealing or closed position 64 (shown in FIG. 3) adjacent the collar 32 where the protrusion 38 obstructs the cap opening 52 and a raised dispensing or opened position 62 (shown in FIG. 4) remote from the collar 32 where the protrusion 38 no longer obstructs the cap opening 52.
  • the cap 50 is rotated from the closed position 64 to the opened position 62 in order to clear the opening when it is desired to use the liquid contained in the bottle 12.
  • the closure 30 of the container system 10 includes two tamper-evident features designed to be broken to access the liquid contained within the bottle 12.
  • the first tamper- evident means 70 is associated with the cap, while the second tamper-evident means 80 is associated with the collar .
  • the first tamper evident means is preferably the band 51 frangible attached to the cap by a plurality of frangible bridges 72.
  • the band 51 is permanently mounted about the collar substantially between the first and second sections 34, 36 adjacent the
  • the broken frangible bridges 72 are a readily observable indication that the cap 50 has been opened and contents of the bottle may have been used. However, a broken first tamper-evident means does not indicate that the contents have not been exposed to potentially harmful tampering, but rather only that the contents may have been used.
  • the second tamper evident means is preferably a securing ring 80 frangibly attached to the collar 32 by a plurality of frangible bridges 82.
  • the securing ring 80 is permanently mounted to at least the lower thread 20A of the external thread 20 of the neck 16 of the bottle. As the collar 32 is unscrewed from the mouth of the container during counter-clockwise rotation of the closure, axial movement of the ring 80 is restricted by the lower thread 20A. The axial tension force is applied to the frangible bridges 82 causing them to break and allowing the mating closure 30 to be removed from the mouth of the bottle, while leaving the ring 80 thereon.
  • the broken frangible bridges 82 are a readily observable indication that the closure 30 has been removed from the bottle, and a possible indication that the contents of the bottle have potentially been tampered with. Unlike prior art, where the mating closure must be removed in order to remove the induction seal, the present invention does not contain such seal. Thus, the closure 30 of the present invention should remain in tack during use and only when broken bridges 82 are present indicate the closure has been opened and possible tampering with may have occurred. Both the cap 51 and collar 32 may contain external gripping portions 90 that aid a user in rotating the cap and collar respectively, when breaking the tamper-evident means 70,80. In conclusion, herein is presented an improved container have two tamper-evident indicators . The invention is illustrated by example in the drawing figures, and throughout the written description. It should be
