Definitions

  • IRESS-ON TURN-OFF CAP Filed may 21, 1964 2 sheets-sheet 1 INVENTORS CHARLES N. FOSTEQ ROBERT K. MQELQOY JOHN J. www
  • the present invention relates to a novel cap member adapted to be applied .to a container by a generally vertical pressing movement, with suitable means on the container rim co-operating with additional means formed in the cap after capping providing camming surfaces to permit easy removal of the cap by rotation.
  • cap designs are currently in use, serving a rather broad area of application.
  • the press-on, pry-up or hook-off type of cap has found wide acceptance in the industry to form closure assemblies for soft drinks, catsup, baby food and the like.
  • This design is highly desirable from the capping standpoint since relatively speaking, it is very easy to apply.
  • the pry-up or hook-off cap is not completely satisfactory from the consumer standpoint. Accordingly, in the latter applications rotatable closures such as lug and screw type caps are oftentimes used.
  • Several disadvantages exist in rotatable closures including the requirement of more complex machinery and time to apply the closure initially.
  • closure or cap exists which may be removed without the use of tools.
  • the cap is distorted by pressing or squeezing, sothat the cap assumes a changed configuration and hence may be lifted off the container.
  • An inherent disadvantage exists in this type of cap since when shifted or handled, the normal impacts to which they are subjected will cause them to prematurely spring or distort to become loose with the obvious consequences.
  • the present invention was developed -as a result of these efforts, providing for a simple downward pressure during the initial application of the cap to form an effective seal with the container to which it is applied.
  • the complicated machinery 3,270,904 Patented Sept. 6, 1966 formerly necessary to seal rotatable closures is eliminated while none of the disadvantages of the deforma-ble caps or caps that are hooked or pryed off are present.
  • the present invention includes an elastomeric or plastomeric lining extending around the inner perimetral surface of the cap which serves a dual function.
  • the lining forms a gasket co-operating with the container and second, provides a cam surface in the form of thread-like means for co-operation with suitable thread means on the container to permit rem-oval by rotation.
  • Substantial benefits are derived from the present construction in the form of a better container seal 'being formed.
  • the stresses in the cap flange are evenly distributed thereby permitting the use of lighter materials with .the obvious reflection in overall cost. This is permissible because one set of threads are formed in the plastomeric material and will accommodate irregularities in the co-operating container threads without appreciable distortion of the co-operating cap.
  • the cap is of thinner metal than is commonplace, it is' capable of withstanding more abuse in the form of shocks and impacts largely because of the small distance separating the cap from the container.
  • the generous length of the seal provides a -barrier to the permeation of gases such as oxygen in addition to maintaining a hermetic seal to protect the contents against contamination and loss.
  • gases such as oxygen
  • the thinness of the seal due to the close spacing of the cap and co-operating portion of the container, as well as the length serves to keep oxygen permeation at a minimum.
  • the present invention utilizes a cap member having a generally at top portion with a generally frusto-conical depending ange or skirt portion.
  • This type of configuration would normally be thought to be undesirable from the standpoint of cap handling and sorting, since logically it would seem that the caps would have a tendency to nest making cap handling dificult.
  • the depending ange or skirt of the cap may be distorted slightly because of its thin construction, so that it will not nest, and thereafter can be conveniently reformed during application to a container to force it back to the required shape.
  • FIG. 1 is a fragmentary side elevational view of a container having a cap of the present invention carried in a capping head and positioned above t-he container for application thereto;
  • FIG. 2 is an enlarged half section taken generally along the lines 2 2 of FIG. 1 after the cap has been applied;
  • FIG. 3 is a view similar to FIG. 2 taken along the lines 3-3 of FIG. 1 after application of the cap;
  • FIG. 4 is an enlarged fragmentary elevational view of a container with a modified form of cap member in section positioned above the container preparatory to cap- 111s;
  • FIG. 5 is an enlarged half section of the container of FIG. 4 taken along the lines 5-5 of FIG. 4 after the cap has been applied;
  • FIG. 6 is a fragmentary elevational view of a container with a cap member in section positioned for application to the container;
  • FIG. 7 is an enlarged half section taken along the lines 7-7 of FIG. 6 after application of the cap to the container.
  • FIGS. l-3 show one form of the present invention 1ncluding a container member 10 having a continuous rim portion 11 of generally frusto-conical shape terminating in a neck 12 of reduced diameter at the lower end and a top 13 defining a container mouth 14 at the upper end.
  • a cap member 15 is illustrated in section having a generally at central top portion 16 for covering the container mouth 14, with marginal edge portions being defined by a rim relief groove 17 which co-operates with the top of the container rim 13.
  • the cap 15 further ⁇ includes a depending flange portion 18 terminating at its lower end in a curled edge portion 19 lending stiffness to the flange.
  • the depending ange is of frusto-conical conguration and is adapted to fit over the container rim portion 11 in the manner shown in FIGS. 2 and 3.
  • a series of discontinuous tread means indicated generally at 20 are provided on the container rim 11 in the form of cutaway portions having the lowermost edge portions 21 extending in a slightly angular direction with respect to the central axis of the container.
  • the lower edge portion 21 defines a cam-like surface when a co-operating surface is fitted within the same as will be seen hereinafter upon a more detailed description of FIG. 2.
  • the thread means 20 has the bottom 22 formed of a generally cylindrical configuration extending longitudinally upward from the lower edge portion and merging with the inwardly tapering outer surface of the continuous rim portion 11.
  • the cap member 15 is of generally cup shape design, inverted in the manner shown in FIG. 1 for applcation to the container 10.
  • the container relief groove 17 and the depending flange portion on the cap member 15 are provided with a coating of elastomeric or plastomeric material indicated generally at 23 for purposes to become apparent.
  • the cap member 15 is received within a capping assembly comprising an anvil shown fragmentarily at 24 having a coaxial punch 25 extending downwardly into close proximity with the curl 19 on the depending flange 18.
  • the plastomeric material 23 shown in the cross sectional view of FIG. 1 is deposited in a manner to provide generally, a smooth continuous surface generally parallel to the surface of the depending ange 18 of the cap member 15.
  • the anvil member 24 forces the cap downwardly on t-he container 10 covering the rim portion and bringing the plastomeric material 23 into overlying relationship with the thread means 20.
  • the plastomeric material 23 has flowed into the thread means 20 to provide a continuous barrier from adjacent the neck 12 over the top portion 13 of the container 10.
  • the punch 25 may reform the curl 19 to engage the neck portion a slight amount as shown to retain the cap member in place.
  • the reforming operation by means of the punch 25 may be omitted if desired, since substantial contact between the plastomeric material 23, thread means 20 and the uninterrupted sections of the rim portion 11 exists, devolping sufiicient holding power to hold the cap member to the container 10. under a vacuum, atmospheric pressure acting on t-he top 16 of the cap member 15 will also assist in maintaining the cap positioned. In any event, bending of the curl 19 during the reforming operation of the lightweight metal is of such magnitude that it can be overcome as the cap is conveniently moved by rotation.
  • FIG. 3 t-he curl has not been reformed, thus illustrating how the cap would appear in those applications wherein reforming is not required.
  • the rather generous extent of the sealing portion is evident in FIG. 3, extending from inside the mouth portion 14 over the top 13 down to a point closely adjacent the neck portion 12. The particular method whereby the thread forming is accomplished will be discussed hereinafter since it is generally applicable to all the embodiments shown.
  • FIG. 4 illustrates a related but modified form of closure assembly including a cap member 27 having a top portion 28 and rim relief groove 29.
  • the depending ange on the cap member 27 extends from the bottom of the relief groove 29 in an outwardly flaring or frustoconical manner as at 30, merging smoothly with a generally cylindrical lower section 31 which terminates in a curl 32.
  • the curl is formed oppositely to that shown in FIGS. 1-3 illustrating the versatility of the design of the cap construction.
  • a fragmentary portion of the container to be capped is illustrated at 33 having a neck portion 34 of reduced diameter which flares outward to merge with a generally frusto-conical rim portion 35.
  • a series of discontinuous thread means 36 are embossed on the outer surface of the generally frusto-conical rim section extending in slightly vertical overlapping engagement more clearly seen in the enlarged cross sectional view of FIG. 5.
  • the cap 27 has been applied to the container rim 35, and thereafter the plastomeric material 37 takes a conforming configuration to form a hermetic seal and thread means co-operating with the embossments 36.
  • Hardening of the plastomeric material is effected in an appropriate manner to form rigid thread grooves for camming co-operation with the raised threads 36 on the container rim 35.
  • the junction between the frusto-conical surface 30 and cylindrical surface 31 yoccurs over the lower thread 36 to provide a portion of increased thickness. If desired, the curled portion 32 may be reformed to engage the neck portion 34 as in the FIG. 2 embodiment.
  • FIGS. 6 and 7 illustrate still another embodiment of the invention including a cap member 40 having the usual substantially flat top portion 41.
  • a rim relief groove 42 may be provided at the marginal edges of the cap member if desired.
  • the depending flange portion of the cap In the case of products packaged 40 is somewhat different than the prior embodiments having a generally straight cylindrical section 43 forming one side of the rim relief groove 42 and ex-tending downwardly to merge with an outwardly flaring frusto-conical section 44.
  • An inwardly curled portion 46 is formed at the lower end of the cylindrical section 45 to rigidity the depending flange portion.
  • Below the cap member 40 in FIG. 6, a container 47 is shown fragmentarily, having a neck portion 48 and rim portion 49 defining the container mouth.
  • a modified form of thread means 50 formed yon the rim 49, 'being of the embossed variety.
  • the thread means 50 are of the continuous rtype and merge smoothly at their lower end with a cylindrical portion 51 of increased diameter intermediate the neck 48 and
  • the modified form of depending flange in the cap 40 is varied in order to change the amount of plastomeric compound 52 which will ultimately be disposed between the outer shell of the cap member 40 and the container rim 49.
  • the plastomeric material 52 extends the full length of the depending flange flowing into the curl 46 slightly to cover the raw edge 53. This serves to protect the raw edge from contact with corrosive materials which cause rusting and discoloration of the cap, making it unsightly and unacceptable to discerning consumers.
  • the use of a long length plastomeric material 52 allows the top and seal portion formed thereby to withstand extremely severe blows without a loss of the hermetic seal between the cap 40 and the container 47.
  • the plastic compound When the cap 40 is applied to the container 47 the plastic compound assumes the configuration shown in FIG. 7 to form thread means 54 for co-operation with the embossed threads 50 on the container rim 49.
  • the generous length of the sealing areas not only protects the container contents from gas permeation land loss of vacuum within the container but also serves as a cushion to absorb and dampen impacts applied to the cap during shifting and handling. With the space between the cap and container filled, infestation of mold, insects and the like which may be drawn into the container upon opening, is prevented.
  • a plasticized polyvinyl chloride plastisol containing small discrete bubbles of gas which provide a compressible volume to compensate for various volumes encountered in difieren-t areas between the closure shell and the container-s is preferred.
  • These materials are oftentimes described in the art as puffed or foamed plastisols and the method of manufacturing the same is also well known in the art.
  • each of the softening materials such as plasticized polyvinyl chloride or polyethylene or hot melts could well form the basis of the compound.
  • the invention as described above is readily adaptable to a number of different types of container sealing and packaging processes. Included among these are various products wherein the tempera-tures at the time of sealing would be fairly high in order to provide various vacuums in the container head space at cooling. Others would include pasturizing at atmospheric pressure or processing in retorts or the like. IUnder any one of these applications, the moldable material or plastomeric compound must be selected to meet the requirements of the particular type of sealing to be done.
  • the plastomeric compound should be selected to provide the requisite cold flow or high permanent set characteristics necessary for good forming. As noted previously, these may be taken from the class of rubber, synthetic rubber or from such materials as foamed polyurethane, foamed polyethylene -or similar plastics which exhibit the required ow and set properties. When heat is employed, heat softening materials such as plasticized polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene or hot melts may be used to form the basis of the compound.
  • the particular shape of the cap depending ange will vary with the compound and the degree of adhesion to the cap member, since the compound must be sufficiently adhesive to allow a direct press-on type application, and thereafter be rm or rigid enough to provide a co-operating cam surface to project the capupwardly on rotation.
  • the curled portion may be reformed into the neck of the container to provide additional gripping means.
  • the plastomeric or elastomeric material must have a suiicient shear modulus to overcome the gripping action of the curled portion when removal of the cap member is effected.
  • the cap member is formed of metal, however, suitable other materials could be used with equal facility and it is not intended that the present application be restricted to metal alone.
  • the gasket portion cooperating with the to-p of the rim could be of a different material suitable for good sealing action.
  • the method of capping a container in a hermetically sealed manner, said container having a cap receiving rim portion with thread means thereon comprising the steps of providing a cap member having a generally flat top portion and a depending flange portion, coating at least said depending flange portion on the interior with a plastic-like material, pressing said cap member over said rim portion in a downwardly manner without intentional rotation so that said plastic-like material extends above and below said thread means, sealing said cap member under 4proper conditions so that said plastic-like material vflows and sets to form a hardened co-operating thread means on said cap member for co-operation with said thread means on said container rim portion whereby said cap member is removable by rotation.
