Definitions

  • This invention relates to container closures and is more particularly concerned with tamper-evident closures.
  • a container closure comprising a top, a dependent skirt and a tamper-evident ring connected to the bottom edge of the skirt by a plurality of circumferentially spaced frangible bridges or along a circumferentially extending line of weakening, the radially-outer faces of the ring and the skirt of the closure having applied thereto a coherent pattern, legend or representation which is in colour constrast with other parts of the skirt and ring and which becomes visually disrupted or distorted on fracture of the frangible bridges or line of weakening during removal of the closure from a container.
  • the pattern, legend or representation may extend continuously along the band, and at least the adjoining portion of the skirt.
  • a legend where employed may be in the form of words and/or names and/or digits, for example the name of the product in the container, and/or the manufacturer of the product and/or the batch coding of the products, or a "sell by" date, or a direct message such as "Do not accept if this band is broken".
  • a pattern of lines or a legend would be disrupted by any circumferential displacement of the ring relative to the skirt and would render words distorted or illegible so as to call immediate attention to the fact that the closure had been tampered with, although the tamper-evident ring might otherwise appear to the eye to be still intact and connected to the skirt.
  • Examples of the types of pattern which may be applied to the ring and the radially-outer surface of the part of the skirt immediately adjoining the band are fine, dotted rectilinear oblique lines, and heavy dotted rectilinear oblique blocks, but there are numerous possible alternative patterns.
  • the radially outer surface of the band and of at least the immediately adjoining portion of the skirt of the moulded closure may be treated to improve their capacity to form a good bond with the ink or paint to be employed.
  • the said surfaces are subjected to a corona discharge, which serves also to neutralize or remove from the closure any of the release agent employed to facilitate removal of the moulding from the mould. Paint or ink is then applied to the surfaces in the desired pattern, legend or representation and is air-dried or cured by heating or infra-red or ultra-violet treatment according to the type of colouring substance used. Where wording is to be employed on the said surfaces, pulse-jet apparatus may be used.
  • the closure comprises a top 12, a depending skirt 13 and a tamper-evident ring 14 connected to the bottom end of the skirt by a line of weakening 15 incorporating a series of circumferentially spaced frangible bridges 16 and a wide bridge 17.
  • the top, skirt and ring 14 are moulded in one piece from plastics material but the closure may incorporate a separate sealing gasket made from the same or a different plastics material.
  • the radially inner surface of the ring 14 has a series of inward projections 19.
  • the neck of the bottle is formed with an external screw-­thread by which the closure is engaged on the bottle, and below the screw-thread has an annular security band 20.
  • the projections on the ring 14 pass over the security band, but when the closure is removed the projections 19 engage the bottom edge of the security band 20 and resist upward movement of the tamper-evident ring, causing the frangible bridges to fracture in the well known manner.
  • Numerous forms of projection equivalent to projections 19 have been proposed and the particular form is irrelevant to this invention.
  • a representation 21 of some notes of music is printed on the ring 14 and on the adjoining portion of the skirt 13, for example removing any release agent remaining on the closure by means of a corona discharge technique and subsequently applying paint or ink as described previously.
  • the representation 21 forms a coherent whole such that any distortion of the parts thereof on the ring 14 or any displacement of the parts thereof on the ring 14 relative to the parts thereof on the skirt 13 is readily apparent to the eye.
  • the invention is applicable also to metal closures having a tamper-evident ring, including closures where the screw-thread and the tamper-evident ring are rolled on to the closure in the well-known manner.
