Abstract
Description
- The present disclosure relates to a linerless closure for sealing engagement with a container neck finish, and more particularly to a closure and a package in which the closure is adapted for sealing engagement with both the inside surface and the outside surface of the container neck finish.
- A general object of the present disclosure is to provide a linerless closure having features for sealing engagement with both the inside surface and the outside surface of a container neck finish when the closure is threaded onto the container neck finish, and to provide a package that includes such a closure threaded onto a container neck finish.
- The present disclosure embodies a number of aspects that can be implemented separately from or in combination with each other.
- A closure for sealing engagement with a container neck finish having at least one external thread segment, in accordance with a first aspect of the present disclosure, includes a base wall having a skirt with at least one internal thread segment for engagement with the at least one external thread segment to thread the closure onto the container neck finish. A first flexible resilient annular wall extends from the base wall within the skirt and is positioned for sealing engagement with an inside surface of the container neck finish when the closure is threaded onto the neck finish. A second flexible resilient annular wall extends from the base wall between the first annular wall and the skirt, and is positioned for sealing engagement with an outside surface of the container neck finish when the closure is threaded onto the container neck finish. A circumferential series of external first axial ribs are on the first annular wall and a circumferential series of internal second axial ribs are on the second annular wall. The first and second series of ribs angularly alternate around the first and second annular walls, and function both to stiffen the first and second annular walls and to limit penetration of the container neck finish between the first and second annular walls. There preferably is an annular internal shoulder on the skirt adjacent to the base wall having a convex radially inwardly facing surface for engagement by the second annular wall when a container neck finish is received between the annular walls both to limit outward flexure of the second annular wall and to hold the second annular wall into sealing engagement with the outside surface of the container neck finish.
- The disclosure, together with additional objects, features, advantages and aspects thereof, will best be understood from the following description, the appended claims and the accompanying drawings, in which:
-
FIG. 1 is a fragmentary sectional view of a closure and container package in accordance with a first exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure; -
FIG. 2 is a fragmentary sectional view on an enlarged scale of the portion ofFIG. 1 within thearea 2; -
FIG. 3 is a fragmentary sectional view which is similar to that ofFIG. 2 but taken from a position angularly spaced from that ofFIG. 2 ; -

FIG. 9 is a fragmentary sectional view similar to that ofFIG. 2 but illustrating a package in accordance with a fourth exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure; and -
FIG. 10 is a fragmentary sectional view that illustrates the closure in the package ofFIG. 9 . -
FIGS. 1-3 illustrate apackage 20 in accordance with a first exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure as including aclosure 22 threaded onto theneck finish 24 of acontainer 26.Container 26 can be of glass or plastic construction, andneck finish 24 includes one or moreexternal thread segments 28. (The term “thread segments” is employed in its usual broad sense as including both continuous and discontinuous threads, and both single and multiple external threads onneck finish 24 and/or internal threads onclosure 22.) Closure 22 preferably is of molded plastic construction and includes abase wall 30 of any suitable geometry, of which a substantially flat geometry is illustrated by way of example only. Askirt 32 has one or moreinternal thread segments 34 for engagement withexternal thread segments 28 onneck finish 24 whenclosure 22 is threaded ontocontainer 26. Closure 22 may optionally include tamper-indicating means, such as atamper band 36 frangibly connected toskirt 32 and a stop element such as aflange 38 for engagement with a stop element orbead 39 onneck finish 24. Other types of tamper-indicating means can be employed or, less preferably, the tamper-indicating means can be excluded. - A first flexible resilient
annular wall 40 extends frombase wall 30 withinskirt 32, and a second flexible resilientannular wall 42 extends frombase wall 30 betweenwall 40 andskirt 32. In the package ofFIGS. 1-3 and thecorresponding closure 22 ofFIGS. 4 and 5 , firstannular wall 40 has a circumferentially continuous convexexternal bead 44 for sealing engagement with theinside surface 46 ofneck finish 24, as shown inFIGS. 1-3 . The inside surface ofannular wall 40 may be substantially cylindrical as molded (FIG. 4 ). Secondannular wall 42 preferably is substantially cylindrical as molded. A circumferential series of external angularly spaced firstaxial ribs 48 extend along the radially outer surface of firstannular wall 40 frombase wall 30 to a position spaced from the base wall, but not extending ontobead 44. A circumferential series of internal angularly spaced secondaxial ribs 50 extend along the radially inner surface of secondannular wall 42 frombase wall 30 to a position spaced from the base wall. As best seen by comparingFIGS. 2 and 3 ,first ribs 48 andsecond ribs 50 preferably have substantially identical axial lengths. As best seen inFIG. 5 ,first ribs 48 andsecond ribs 50 angularly alternate with each other aroundannular walls axial ribs annular walls FIG. 5 , the radial dimensions ofribs ribs walls - When
closure 22 is threaded ontocontainer neck finish 24 as shown inFIGS. 1-3 , bead 44 on firstannular wall 40 engages insidesurface 46 of the container neck finish andwall 40 is flexed radially inwardly by engagement with the container neck finish. In the same way, secondannular wall 42 engages and is flexed outwardly byoutside surface 47 ofneck finish 24. Asclosure 22 is fully threaded ontoneck finish 24, the end face ofneck finish 24 is brought into opposed abutment with the axial ends ofribs Ribs respective walls neck finish 24 betweenwalls first wall 40 against insideneck finish surface 46 and engagement ofsecond wall 42 against outsideneck finish surface 47. - An annular
internal shoulder 51 preferably is provided onskirt 32 adjacent tobase wall 30. Annularinternal shoulder 51 preferably has a convex radially inwardly facingsurface 52 opposed towall 42. Outward flexure ofwall 42, asclosure 22 is threaded ontoneck finish 24, bringswall 42 into opposed abutment withconvex surface 52 ofshoulder 51.Surface 52 andshoulder 51 thus holdwall 42 in sealing engagement withoutside surface 47 ofneck finish 24. Theconvex surface 52 provides a point contact seal which causes a seal at the tip of the radius onsurface 52 and has clearance, no interference with the bottle, both above and below the radius. This clearance reduces the surface contact with the bottle which reduces the torque required to apply and remove the closure.Shoulder 51 preferably is spaced frombase wall 30 so thatcorner surface 52 presseswall 42 into sealing engagement with a radially outwardly facing surface adjacent to the open end ofneck finish 24. - In additional exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure illustrated in
FIGS. 6-10 , reference numerals identical to those employed inFIGS. 1-5 indicate correspondingly identical or related components. -
FIG. 6 illustrates aclosure 54 having a first flexible resilientannular wall 56 with a conical radially inwardly facingsurface 58 but without bead 44 (FIGS. 1-4 ). A secondconical surface 60 extends fromsurface 58 for guiding the inside edge ofcontainer neck finish 24 betweenwalls time flexing wall 56 radially inwardly. In the embodiment ofFIG. 6 ,walls axial ribs FIGS. 1-5 and annularinternal shoulder 51 has convexsurface 52 for engagement byannular wall 42 as previously described. -
FIGS. 7 and 8 illustrate aclosure 62 in which firstannular wall 56 is the same as inFIG. 6 and secondannular wall 42 is the same as inFIGS. 1-6 . An annular shoulder orabutment 64 is formed onbase wall 30 and extends radially betweenwalls container 26 as illustrated inFIG. 7 , the end of container neck finish 24abuts shoulder 64, which thus serves to limit penetration ofneck finish 24 betweenwalls - The
closure 66 inFIGS. 9 and 10 has a first or innerannular wall 40 and a second or outerannular wall 42, which preferably abuts convexannular surface 52 oninternal shoulder 51 when threaded ontoneck finish 24 as previously described. A circumferential array of radially extending angularly spacedribs 67 extend along the underside ofbase wall 30 between and interconnectingwalls Ribs 66 are engaged by the end surface ofneck finish 24 whenclosure 66 is fully threaded onto the neck finish, so thatribs 67 function to limit penetration ofneck finish 24 betweenwalls closure 66 inFIGS. 9 and 10 could employ an innerannular wall 56 of the type illustrated inFIGS. 6-8 , and thatclosures FIGS. 6-8 could employ an innerannular wall 40 as inFIGS. 9-10 . - There thus have been disclosed a closure and a package that fully satisfy all of the objects and aims previously set forth.
Closure 22 andpackage 20 have particular utility for cold soft drink (CSD) applications, although other applications are envisioned. The disclosure has been presented in conjunction with several exemplary embodiments, and additional modifications and variations have been discussed. Other modifications and variations readily will suggest themselves to persons of ordinary skill in the art in view of the foregoing description. The disclosure is intended to embrace all such modifications and variations as fall within the spirit and broad scope of the appended claims.
