Definitions

  • the invention relates to a container, particularly a bottle for perfume or the like, having a screw on closure, in which when viewed externally from above, both the body of the container and the closure are non-circular in outline.
  • Such containers which are especially intended for liquids, are almost invariably provided with a deformable ring seal or similar sealing means, but because manufacturing tolerances are such that an exact conformity cannot usually be obtained between the thread of the container and that of the closure, it is frequently the case that the closure does not occupy its desired orientation relative to the container when in a fully closed position. This is unsatisfactory both from . an aesthetic point of view, and in relation to bulk packaging and transportation, since a closure skew fitted to the container can present projecting edges which are an obstacle to close packaging and can cause the closure not to be fully closed, thereby resulting in possible spillage or evaporation of the liquid during transportation or storage prior to sale.
  • both the inner and the outer closure elements are constructed of relatively rigid materials, which can be the same or different materials, so that relative rotation between the closure elements is not possible, then a-more satisfactory closure results which can be repeatedly screwed onto and unscrewed from a container without this problem of wear between the closure elements, while ensuring, by the provision of a suitable stop, that desired orientation of the closure on the container is always obtainable when the container is closed and sealed.
  • a container having at its upper end a screw threaded neck adapted to receive a screw threaded closure comprising an inner skirt and an outer cap axially engaged with the inner skirt, the container having an abutment adapted to be contacted by a stop on the closure so as to orientate the closure in the closed position with respect to the container, characterised in that the outer cap is engaged non-rotatably with the inner skirt; and the inner skirt is provided with sealing means to close the neck of the container, and form a vapour-tight seal therewith over an angle of relative rotation of the skirt and the container of at least 45°.
  • the container has a threaded portion, such as a neck, onto which the closure is adapted to be screwed.
  • a threaded portion such as a neck
  • An example of such a container is a bottle for perfume or the like, having a neck portion which is threaded externally to receive a screw-on closure.
  • the container also has at least one abutment for contact with the closure when the closure is orientated relative to the container in the desired position and the container is sealed.
  • This abutment on the container can present an axially- or near-axially orientated surface for co-operation with the closure, or it can alternatively present a radially- or near-radially orientated surface for contact with the closure.
  • the abutment is carried below the screw thread of the neck of the container.
  • the inner skirt of the closure is threaded internally and is adapted to be screwed onto the correspondingly threaded portion, such as a neck, of the container, in such a manner as to effect a vapour-tight seal to prevent spillage or evaporation of the container contents.
  • a vapour tight seal is obtained when screwing the inner skirt onto the container in a closing direction when rotation of the inner skirt reaches an angle of rotation of not less than 45° from the position where the closure is fully orientated in the container.
  • sealing can be achieved at an angle of relative rotation between the skirt and the container of at least 60°, and preferably at least 90° from this fully orientated position.
  • the inner skirt can be provided with a relatively pliable or flexible insert or portion whose deformation makes sealing contact with the container, such as at the top of or within the neck of the container.
  • Vapour tight sealing of the inner skirt on the container in this manner at a position before the inner skirt is fully tightened onto the threaded portion of the container is desirable in order to allow for final adjustment of the closure after the outer cap has been fitted to the inner skirt, in order to achieve correct orientation of the closure with respect to the container at the position where the closure comes into contact with the abutment on the container.
  • the inner skirt is also provided externally with means for receiving and non-rotatably engaging with the outer cap.
  • this external engagement means comprises axially arranged ribs and/or grooves carried on the external surface of the inner skirt.
  • the external surface of the inner skirt is also preferably frustoconical such that it tapers slightly inwards towards its upper end.
  • the external diameter of the upper end of the skirt can . thus be slightly smaller than the corresponding internal diameter of the outer cap, to facilitate fitting of the outer cap onto the inner skirt during assembly.
  • the preferred frustoconical external surface of the inner skirt also provides for a more positive engagement of inner skirt and outer cap to ensure that the two closure elements are not readily separable in use, for example if the container is picked up by gripping the outer cap, and further to ensure that relative rotation of the two elements after assembly is not possible.
  • the frustoconical external surface of the inner skirt tapers inwards from its base to its top at an angle to the vertical which is slightly greater than the corresponding taper angle of the inner wall of the outer cap.
  • the taper angles of the walls of the inner skirt and the outer cap can be 0° 15' and-O o 10' respectively.
  • the lower rim of the inner skirt can form a stop having a radial surface for contacting the abutment on the container which preferably presents a corresponding radial surface against which the inner skirt can be screwed, in order to orientate correctly the closure on the container.
  • the outer cap of the closure is provided internally with means for engagement with the inner skirt.
  • this internal engagement means comprises ribs and/or grooves carried on the internal axial surface of the outer cap, which itself can also be slightly tapered to provide a frustoconical surface to facilitate engagement with the inner skirt.
  • the outer cap can be provided with a stop for contacting the abutment on the container which can present an axial surface against which the outer cap stop can be screwed, as an alternative means for orientating correctly the closure on the container.
  • the invention also provides a method of fitting a closure to a container of the type hereinbefore described which comprises the steps of screwing the inner skirt onto the threaded neck of the container so as to achieve a vapour-tight seal; fitting the outer cap over the inner skirt thereby to engage the ribs and/or corresponding grooves of the inner skirt and outer cap, such that the outer cap cannot be rotated relative to the inner skirt; and, if necessary, screwing the assembled closure further onto the threaded neck of the container so as to bring the stop into contact with the abutment.
  • a bottle 1 is provided with a 2-part closure 2 consisting of an outer cap 3 and an inner skirt 4.
  • the bottle 1 the body of which is non-circular in plan view, has an externally threaded neck portion 5 adapted to receive the closure 2.
  • Below the thread on the neck 5 is a centering ring 6 and at one side of the neck on the shoulder of the bottle is a single abutment 7 presenting an axially- or near-axially orientated surface for contact with the closure 2.
  • the outer cap 3 of the closure 2 has an outer side-wall 8 which is also non-circular in plan view, and an inner annular side-wall 9 depending from a top-wall 10.
  • the inner surface of the inner side-wall 9 carries alternate vertical ribs and grooves 11.
  • the lower edge of the inner side-wall 9 at one side carries a stop 12.
  • the inner skirt 4 has an annular side-wall 13 which is internally threaded at 14 and externally has alternating axially orientated ribs and grooves.15.
  • a top wall 16 of the inner skirt 4 carries an annular deformable sealing flange 17, adapted to enter the neck 5 of the bottle 1 when the closure is screwed in place, the material and dimensions of the sealing flange 17 being such that a vapour-tight seal is obtained throughout an angle of about 60° of relative rotation of the skirt and the bottle.
  • the bottle When assembling the bottle 1 and closure 2, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, the bottle is first filled with perfume, Eau de Toilette, or the like, and the inner skirt 4 is screwed onto the threaded neck 5 of the bottle until the sealing flange 17 forms a vapour tight seal with the bottle, at which point the annular sealing flange 17 will have entered the neck of the bottle, thus effecting a vapour-tight seal at an angle of relative rotation of about 60° from a fully tightened position.
  • the flexibility and dimensions of this flange 17 are such as to maintain a vapour-tight seal on the bottle before the inner skirt 4 is fully tightened during the final orientating sequence.
  • the outer cap 3 is then placed over the inner skirt 4, so that the stop engages the abutment on the bottle.
  • any slight wear or deformation of the threaded portions will not effect the vapour-tight function of the closure in view of the ability of the annular sealing flange 17 to seal the contents of the bottle in a vapour-tight manner from an angle of relative rotation of the skirt and the bottle of at least 45° from the fully closed and fully orientated position.
  • the closure 2 in Figure 3 is substantially similar to that shown in Figures 1 and 2, except that the outer cap 3 has no stop, and the lower edge 20 of the inner skirt functions as a stop for contact with the surface 19.
  • the inner skirt 4 is first screwed onto the neck 5 of the bottle 1 until the lower edge 20 of the inner skirt 4 contacts the surface 19 of the abutment 18.
  • the outer cap 3 is then placed over the inner skirt 4 in the manner described earlier in the desired configuration relative to the bottle without further need for orientation.
  • the construction of the inner skirt 4 is similar to that shown in Figures 1,2 and 3 except that the integral annular sealing flange 17 is replaced by a seal insert 21 having an annular flange 22 of relatively flexible material as compared with the relatively rigid material from which the inner skirt is constructed.
  • the seal insert 21 forms a push fit within the inner skirt 4 and the annular flange 22 is adapted to form a vapour tight seal with open neck 5 of the bottle 1 when the inner skirt 4 (or the assembled closure 2) is screwed on the bottle neck, the seal being obtained at an angle of relative rotation of the skirt and the bottle of at least 45° from the fully closed and fully orientated position.
  • the container and closure according to the invention can be used to store liquid, particularly volatile liquid, gel or powdered products of any description but is more desirably employed for cosmetics, toiletries and other household products.
  • liquid, particularly volatile liquid, gel or powdered products of any description but is more desirably employed for cosmetics, toiletries and other household products.
  • examples of such products are perfume, eau de toilette, talcum powder, shower gel, foam bath product, shampoo, make-up products, sunscreen products, suntan products and dishwashing liquid.
