Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an improved blow-molded container having internal attachment means. More particularly, the invention relates to a blow-molded container having a body-portion and a neck-portion, said neck-portion having a first and a second internal attachment means, the second being located closer to the body-portion and having a smaller diameter than the first. Blow-molded containers having a neck portion with internal attachment means have been disclosed. Such internal attachment means is particularly suitable for use with a closure cap, especially when the closure cap is intended to be used as a measuring cup. When the cap is attached to the inside of the container neck, fluid which may have stayed behind in the cap can drain back into the container without causing messiness. It is oftentimes desirable to provide the container with a device to facilitate drain-back and/or pouring.
  • Such a device is to be attached internally in the neck portion of the container, at a point "below", i.e. closer to the body-portion than the internal attachment means. Moreover, the design of this device must be such that inserting it into the neck-portion does not cause damage to the internal attachment means.
  • the present invention relates to a blow-molded container, having a body-portion and a neck-portion, being provided with a dispensing device, characterized in that said neck portion has a first internal attachment means and a second internal attachment means, the second internal attachment means being located between the first internal attachment means and the body-portion of the container, the orifice diameter being significantly smaller at the position of the second internal attachment means than at the position of the first internal attachment means.
  • Fig. 1 depicts a cross sectional view of the neck portion of a container having a first and a second internal attachment means.
  • Blow-molded containers frequently having the shape of a bottle, are widely used as a low-cost package for liquids.
  • an internal, rather than external, attachment means e.g., a screw thread.
  • Heavy duty liquid detergents and rinse-added fabric softeners are examples of liquids that require measured dosing.
  • Having a bottle with internal, attachment means and a cap having corresponding external attachment means allows use of the cap as a measuring cup and a no-mess drain back after the cap has been re-applied to the bottle.
  • a container featuring a pouring spout or some other dispensing device.
  • a dispensing device is manufactured separate from the container (e.g., by injection molding), and then inserted into and affixed in the neck of the container.
  • the device As the dosing device is to remain in the bottle neck after the cap has been removed, the device is to be affixed to the bottle neck at a point located between the internal attachment means and the body portion of the bottle. Yet, it must be possible to insert the device into the bottle neck without causing damage to the internal attachment means or the device itself.
  • the neck of the container comprises a second internal attachment means, the second being located at a point in the container neck between the first internal attachment means and the body portion of the container.
  • the second attachment means has a diameter which is smaller than the neck-diameter at the point of the first attachment means. This permits a dosing device which has a diameter small enough to freely pass the first internal attachment means. to be securely affixed to the bottle neck.
  • first and second internal attachment means are not critical. Suitable examples include screw threads, snap fitments, twist lock arrangements, and the like. Also, the first and second internal attachment means may be the same or different.
  • a preferred embodiment of this invention is a blow-molded bottle having a screw-thread as the first internal attachment means and a snap ring as the second.
  • the first internal attachment means preferably is adapted to accept a closure cap.
  • the closure cap then has an external attachment means designed to be accepted by the first internal attachment means of the container neck portion.
  • the container of the present invention has a closure cap having an external ring which is adapted to be fitted over the circumference of the neck portion of the container. This ring supports the neck portion of the container when the cap is being applied to it, thus preventing the neck portion from being deformed as a result of relaxation.
  • the first internal attachment means has interruptions substantially parallel to the neck portion's axis. These interruptions permit air to escape from the container when the closure cap is being applied.
  • the container neck has one or more circular indentations or ribs to increase the rigidity of the neck.
  • Fig. 1 depicts a preferred embodiment of a container of the present invention. Shown is neck portion 11 of a blow molded container having screw thread 12 as a first internal attachment means, and snap ring 13 as a second internal attachment means. Snap ring 13 is located between screw thread 12 and body portion 20 of the container. Neck portion 11 has a diameter 14 at the position of the snap ring 13, and a diameter 15 at the position of the screw thread 12. Diameter 14 is smaller than diameter 15. Snap-fitted in snap ring 13 is pour spout 30. Since diameter 14 is smaller than diameter 15, pour spout 30 can be inserted into the bottle neck past screw thread 12 without damaging the screw threads or pour spout.
  • Cap 40 has external screw thread 41 designed to mesh with screw thread 12. External ring 42 of cap 40 fits over the circumference 16 of neck portion 11. The circular indentation 17 gives additional strength to the bottle neck.
