Definitions

  • closure in two pieces.
  • Two-piece closures are well known, the typical example being the well known Mason jar wherein the closure panel and the gasket carried thereby is separate and apart from the ring member.
  • Mason jar closure after the ring member has been removed it is necessary to pry the closure panel from the container finish with the result that normally the closure panel is bent and distorted so that it can no longer be used to form a seal.
  • the closure 10 is particularly constructed for scalingly closing the container 12 and is of a composite construction including a ring member 20 and a closure panel 22.
  • the ring member 20 is preferably formed of a moldable plastic material, such as polypropylene, while the closure panel 22 is primarily in the form of a metal sheet or disk.
  • the molded ring member 20 includes a lower generally cylindrical skirt 24 which is joined to an upper retaining ring 26 by an intermediate corner portion 28.
  • the exterior of the skirt 24 is provided with a plurality of axially extending, circumferentially spaced ribs or knurls 32 to facilitate the gripping of the ring member 20 to effect the manual twisting or rotation thereof relative to the container 12.
  • the upper surface of the retaining ring 26 is provided with circumferentially spaced radiating nibs or knurls 34 which may engage top capper scaling belts to provide better traction in the application of the closure 10 to the container 10.
  • the coating 38 has a low coefficient of friction as does the undersurface of the retaining ring 26. Thus, there may be relative rotation between the ring member 20 and the closure panel 22 with a minimum of frictional resistance.
  • detent means 52 are illustrated in Figure 2 as being in the form of a plurality of circumferentially spaced detents or lugs 54, although the detent means 52 could be continuous.
  • closure panel 22 will snap past the detent means 52 due to the rounded corner 50, but the free edge of the flange 48 will not freely pass the detent means 52 in the opposite direction so as to permit separation of the closure panel 22 from the ring member 20.
  • detent means 52 are spaced axially from the free edge of the flange 48 so that the closure panel is free to move a restricted dis- t a nce in an axial direction relative to the ring member 20.
  • the annular portion 26 of the closure panel will not be in firm engagement with the underside of the retaining ring 26, but will have a certain degree of play.
  • the closure panel 22 will rotate or twist with the ring member 20 until the gasket 42 engages the end seal finish 18 at which time rotation of the closure member 22 will discontinue and the ring member 20 will be free to be twisted or rotated relative to the closure panel 22 without resistance until such time as the retaining ring 2 u moves axially into pressure engagement with the annular portion 46.
  • the primary advantage of the composite closure 10 is during the time of removal of the closure.
  • a removal twisting or rotational torque is applied to the ring member 20
  • it will rotate relative to the container neck finish 14 and the closure panel 22 and, due to the relative camming action of the interengaged lugs or threads 16, 30, the ring member 20 will move axially relative to both the container neck finish 14 and the closure panel 22 until it reaches the position of Figure 3, wherein the detent means 52 engages the lower edge of the flange 48.
  • closure panel 22 will be free to move axially with the ring member 20 in the complete removal of the closure 10.
  • closure panel 22 separate and apart from the ring member 20 provides a further positive advantage.
  • the closure panel is integral with the ring member and the Plastosol or other gasket forming material is fixed for rotation with the closure cap skirt, as the closure cap is tightened onto a container, there is a torsional force developed in the casket material and the closure skirt such that when the closure cap is fully applied and then released, there is an internal unwinding force which, as it relieves itself, loosens the closure cap relative to the container.
  • closure panel and gasket material formed separate and apart frcm the ring member and by having a very low frictional connection between the closure panel and the ring member, it will be seen that this internal wind-up force within the closure cap is, for all practical purposes, eliminated even though the gasket material is not provided with a lubricant and has a tendency to adhere to the container finish as the closure cap is applied.
  • closure panel 22 is automatically removed by the ring member 20 without distortion, the closure panel may effectively reseal the container 12 when the closure 10 is reapplied.
  • metal panel 36 may be provided with a conventional vacuum operated button feature (not illustrated).
