United States PatentO SPOUT AND CAP FOR A CONTAINER Adam Krautkrfimer, Budenheim (Rhine), Germany Application October 7, 1952, Serial No. 313,387 Claims priority, application Germany October 22, 1951 6 Claims. (Cl. ZZZ- 543) This invention relates to a closure for containers, more particularly to such closures which while in their closing position permit a partial emptying of the containers.
Tubes, cans, canisters, barrels, carboys, bottles, and
7 similar containers are provided with closures to close the container opening for transportation and storage but also to permit an occasional partial removal of the contents. Such closures usually consist ofa discharge nozzle as in the case of containers or tubes for lighter fluid, of screw caps for cans, of lids for barrels and drums, of stoppers for bottles, etc.
Aside from stoppers, the known closures are mostly made from the same material as the container proper. Their application requires the use of packing material and often several operations, all of which causes relatively high costs.
Screw caps or stoppers when used for partial discharges of the contents are frequently lost.
The known closures do not guarantee the contents of the container to be fully delivered.
The primary object of my invention is to overcome all of the shortcomings of the conventional closures of the type referred to.
To the accomplishment of this object and other more detailed objects which will become clear hereinafter, my invention consists in a closure for containers, its elements, and the relation of these elements one to the other, as are more particularly described in the specification and sought to be defined in the claims.
The specification is accompanied by drawings in which:
Fig. 1 is a partially sectioned side elevation of the upper part of a container and of its closure in closing position, the closure being a discharge nozzle according to the present invention;
Fig. 2 shows the cap of the discharge nozzle of Fig. 1 as a separate part;
Fig. '3 is a sectioned side elevation of a can closure embodying features of a modified closure;
Fig. .4 is a plan view of the closure of Fig. 3, the cap being omitted;
Fig. 5 is a sectioned side elevation of another modification of a can closure;
Fig. 6 is a partially sectioned side elevation of a further modification of a can closure; and
Fig. 7 is a sectioned side elevation of a bottle closure according to the invention.
The discharge nozzle 1 of a container 2 is made from a material, such as synthetic resins or other synthetic material, acid resistant rubber (Buna), etc., that can be deformed under pressure and will resume the original shape when the pressure is released. The lower end of the discharge nozzle 1 comprises a rooflike flanged section 3, a collar 5, and a constricted section 4 between 3 and 5.
The opening in the container top 6 is surrounded by an angularly provided flanged rim 7 which snaps into the depression or constriction 4 when the discharge nozzle is set in place. The flanged rim 7 is firmly held 2,911,128 Patented Nov. 3, 1959 ice . cut off in a known manner.
The discharge nozzle is closed by a cap 9 which is preferably made from the same material as the discharge nozzle and is firmly connected by means of a thin resilient rod 10 with the lower end of the nozzle, for instance, the flanged section 3. Thus, the cap may be temporarily removed without danger of loss and without rendering the putting in place and the taking ofi diflicult.
The connection rod 10a may form a ring 11 at its lower free end, as shown in Fig. 2, which ring is clamped fast between the flange 3 and the container top 6 when the nozzle is set in place.
Upon filling the container 2, the lower end of the nozzle 1 is obliquely introduced into the opening in the container top 6, and by applying pressure centrally, the
' collar 5 is completely forced into the opening whereupon the rim 7 snaps into the depression or groove 4 of the nozzle. 7
In the embodiment of the invention shown in Fig. 3,
the closure illustrated being suitable for cans, drums and opening of the body 12 is closed by athin, easily destructible wall 13, such as a tearing membrane. The membrane is conveniently provided with a tearing flap 14.
The cap 9 is integrally connected with the flange 3" by means of the elastic rod 10'.
From Fig. 3 it will be seen that the flange 3' of the closure body 12 is both upwardly and inwardly relieved to form the constriction 4'. The flange 3' inclines, therefore, in a downward direction. When the closure is installed and the offset flange 7 snaps into the constriction, the flange 3, due to its downward inclination and the greater pressure thus exerted on the container top 6, will ensure a particularly tight seal, this seal being effected besides the seal effected by the flange 7 and the constriction 4'.
In the embodiment shown in Fig. 5, the cap 9" is secured to the body 12" by means of the threading 15. The rod 10", at one end, is integrally connected to the flange 3", and at its other end it is. fastened by means 3 7 9b is integrally connected with the body 12b by means of a resilient strip 10b. The cap 9b is provided on its bottom with a thin tearing strap 18 which, in the sealed condition, is cemented to the body 12b. The tearing is preferably equipped with a tearing membrane cor-' responding to those shown in Figs. 3 and 4, and with a cap 9c carrying a connecting rod 10c.
It is believed that the construction and handling of my container closure, and the many advantages thereof, will be understood from the foregoing detailed description thereof.
Some of the features and advantages of the closure of i the invention are reviewed hereinafter.
The closure is made from a material of limited elasticity, preferably materials ba'sed'on synthetic resins or acid resistant rubber. The body of the closure is provided near its lower end with an external depression or groove extending around the circumference of the body, and a flange adjacent to and above said groove. The very end of the body is suitably shaped to facilitate the introduction of the body into the container and to make it possible for the opening-confining edge to snap into the groove, whereby the said flange of the body presses against the container top.
.For containers with a neck, such as bottles, the closure of my invention assumes an inversed form inasmuch as the body is provided near its lower end with an internal groove which receives under tension, when the closure is forced over the neck, a corresponding protrusion provided on the bottle neck.
The cap which closes the closure body is secured thereto, preferably to the lower end of the body, by means of an elastic connection which prevents the loss of the cap without interfering with occasional temporary removals of the cap, as is required for partial emptying of the container.
The closure of the invention has important advantages over the conventional constructions. The container is filled through its opening, whereupon the closure is forced into place. The closure locks itself in position and closes the opening tight to air and liquid, this being due to the inherent tension of the closure.
The opening of the closure is closed by a tearing membrane which guarantees genuineness of the contents of the container. The closure opening, after a partial discharge of the contents of the container, is closed by an ordinary capor a screw cap. Either cap is permanently connected to the body of the closure and cannot be lost.
Undesirab le effects of the conventional cork closures for bottles are avoided due to the use of chemically inert material.
The closure of the invention can be produced at low cost. It does not require special designs of the container opening, and it can be installed 'without the use of tools or fixtures.
It will be apparent that while I have shown and described my invention in a few forms only, many changes and modifications may be made without departing from the spirit of the invention defined in the following claims.
