Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a container, particularly though not exclusively for pre-moistened wipes.
  • the resilient member or spring is of elastomeric material, it is important that it should not be readily removable from the container, because wipes are often used by mothers with young children. It is relatively easy to prevent it from being pulled up through the cover - providing an anchor piece much larger than the aperture through which it would be drawn - however the cover is usually removable and a child can grasp the anchor piece and pull the spring out backwards.
  • the object of the invention is to overcome this problem.
  • a container with a pop-up mechanism including:
  • the resilient member will be of elastomeric material.
  • the container shown in the drawings has a base 1 typically for pre-moistened wipes and a cover 2.
  • the base and the cover are injection mouldings.
  • the cover has a central recess 3.
  • a lid 4 sized to fit the recess is hinged to the cover, both components having complementary hinge formations 5, which are conventional in themselves.
  • Both the cover and the lid have complementary flanges 6,7, which have catch formations 8.
  • Within the cover flange a contoured slot 9 is provided for withdrawal of wipes from the container.
  • an elastomeric spring 10 is provided between the hinge formations 5, an elastomeric spring 10 is provided. This urges the lid open with the catch formations holding it closed. Deformation of the cover, particularly at dimples 11, releases the catch for opening of the lid.
  • the spring is a cut off piece of an extrusion. It has a stem 12 and a finger 13. On the stem, a base 14 is provided with ribs 15 spaced up from the base and defining with it grooves 16.
  • the cover has an opening 17 sized to fit the stem 12, with its marginal lips 18 fitting in the grooves 16. This arrangement is adequate for holding the spring, whose finger 13 is bent double when the lid is closed, and reacting the bending in the spring so that the lid is opened by the spring when the catch is released. However, the arrangement described is not adequate for preventing "little fingers” removing and swallowing the spring, having prised off the cover.
  • the invention addresses this problem by providing a fence 20 around the opening 17 on the underside of the cover.
  • the fence is substantially the same height as the thickness of the base and sized radially of the base to leave a gap of the order of 1mm, which is too small to allow a small child to grip and pick out the spring.
