Abstract
提供了一种改进的用于烟草容器的盖。这种盖包括顶部和与之横向的圆周侧壁。侧壁与顶部一体地形成并且从顶部向下垂悬。侧壁包括增强特征。在一个实施例中,增强特征允许盖互锁至烟草容器。在又一实施例中,增强特征允许利用薄壁片状金属来制造盖。
Description
技术领域
本发明大致涉及用于容器的盖,并且更具体地涉及用于烟草容器的盖。
背景技术
松散的烟草和相关烟草制品典型地被包装在盘形容器中出售。在很多情况下,容器包括安坐于金属、塑料或纸板的容器底部上的金属盖。经常地,带型标签胶粘地紧固于盖和容器之间的缝隙上以可靠地固定盖和容器。带型标签典型地也会正面影响产品的新鲜度。标签典型地还包括给潜在消费者提供的关于烟草制品的印迹、图像和信息。
通常,盖包括相对平的顶罩部分和包围的侧壁。侧壁终止于切割边缘。考虑到盖经常由金属形成(塑料盖也是常见的),金属边缘就可能会相对锋利。如果锋利边缘没有适当地制作为平滑,容器的购买者就可能会在使用边缘将盖从容器掀起时遭受其中一个手指被划破的潜在危险。
容器和盖之间的接口典型地将具有卡扣配合以便于盖和容器的去除和附接。盖和容器之间的接口影响透气性并且因此影响其中包含的烟草产品的新鲜度。因而,盖和容器之间的接口包括多种构造。
而且,盖必须足够坚固以防止会有损于盖至底部连接的挠曲。典型地,盖的强度通过使用厚度大于或等于0.007英寸的片状金属来提供。
本发明旨在对现有技术的状况进行改进。
发明内容
提供一种改进的用于烟草容器的盖。这种盖包括允许使用薄规格片状金属的增强特征。在一个实施例中,增强特征可构造为用来额外地将盖互锁至容器底部。
在又一优选实施例中,金属盖具有小于0.007英寸的减小规格厚度的片状金属主体。在又一实施例中,片状金属是二次轧制的钢板。片状金属主体形成为用于烟草容器的盖并且具有在大约2英寸至大约4英寸之间的圆形周边,所述圆形周边具有由此向下垂悬的侧壁。侧壁具有形成于其上的增强特征以适合于减小规格的厚度。增强特征可定位于沿着侧壁的任何高度处,从侧壁的远端至任何适当的高度,以适合将盖互锁至容器底部。
在另一实施例中,本发明提供了一种制造用于烟草容器的金属盖的方法,其包括首先选择小于65磅二次轧制钢板材料的片状金属的步骤。然后由钢板材料形成具有圆形周边的盖,盖具有上壁和带有远端的侧壁。侧壁的远端然后径向向内卷曲。这种方法的又一辅助步骤可包括径向向内地折叠一部分侧壁从而使得卷曲部与之一起位移。
在又一实施例中,提供了一种烟草容器。这种烟草容器包括形成为用于烟草容器的盖的片状金属主体。盖具有半径在大约1英寸至大约2.75英寸之间的上壁以及从上壁向下垂悬并且具有终端的环形侧壁。卷曲部形成于终端上,卷曲部然后形成于终端上。这个实施例的又一辅助特征可包括具有底壁和环形侧壁的容器底部,环形侧壁具有定位于侧壁上的适合于与盖互锁的凸缘。卷曲部可被部分地平整以包括顶部和底部弯曲段以及将这两者接合的平状延伸段,平状延伸段相对于顶部和底部弯曲段更平。
在一个实施中,卷曲部用作允许使用小于0.007英寸厚度规格的片状金属的增强特征。在另一实施中,卷曲部还用作与容器底部的相应连接件相配合的连接部分。在更加优选的实施中,增强特征为大致钩形横截面,具有弓形头部。更具体地,所示实施例的钩形为圆钩形。
本发明的其它方面、目标和优点将从下面结合附图的详细描述中变得更加明显。
附图说明
结合入说明书并构成其一部分的附图示出了本发明的数个方面,并且连同描述一起用来解释本发明的原理。在附图中:
图1是包括根据本发明教导的盖的烟草容器的一个示例性实施例的俯视和前视透视图;
图2是图1的容器的剖视图;
图3是图1的容器的俯视图;
图4是图1的盖的剖视图;
图5是图1的盖的局部放大剖视图;
图6是图1的容器的盖的局部放大剖视图,进一步示出了安装于容器底部上的盖;
图7是图1的盖的剖视图,示出了盖的替代实施例;以及
图8是图7的盖的局部放大剖视图。
虽然本发明将就某些优选实施例进行描述,但是这并不是要将本发明限制于这些实施例。相反,意图是覆盖包括在本发明如所附权利要求限定的精神和范围内的所有替代、变型和等同。
具体实施方式
参照图1,示出了容器10。容器10典型地用来容纳嚼烟或其它物品以便零售给消费者。就这点而言,容器10具有允许消费者舒适地将容器保持于手掌内以及将容器存放于衬衫口袋或牛仔裤的后袋内的总体尺寸。典型地,有利于这些烟草容器功能的尺寸为直径近似2.5英寸并且轴向厚度近似1英寸。然而,容器能更大或更小,比如直径在1.5和若干英寸之间并且轴向厚度在0.5和1.5英寸之间。
烟草容器10可包括使得容器更加美观的特征,比如举例来说颜色、图像或印迹、标签、压花等。容器10还可在包装处理期间由例如带型胶粘标签(未示出)紧固起来。在标签已经被撕破后,容器10可重复打开和闭合以使得消费者能根据需要经常存取存储于容器10中的选定量的内容物。
如图1所示,当大致圆柱形容器底部12接收大致圆柱形盖14(也称作,罩)时形成容器10。容器底部12可适合地由很多种不同材料或其组合形成,比如金属、塑料、纸板等。在所示实施例中,容器底部12由塑料材料形成。根据容器10的预期用途以及容器内的内容物或内容物的缺乏是否要从外面能观察到,容器底部12的塑料可以是透明的、半透明或不透明的。
现在参照图2,容器底部12示出为大致圆柱形,具有底部94和相对于底部94大致横向的侧壁90。侧壁90具有内和外表面91、92。如下将更详细描述的,容器底部12适合于接收盖14并与之互锁。
仍然参照图2,在所示实施例中,盖14由相对薄的金属件(例如片状金属)构成。优选地,盖由具有小于65磅的减小规格的二次轧制钢板(double reduced sheet steel)制成,从而允许盖14具有近似不大于0.007英寸的厚度。然而,由于下面更完全描述的盖14的部件的构造,也可使用其它金属来生产盖14,比如铝或其它钢铁材料,这仅是非限制性的例子。
如图2所示,盖14包括上壁16和呈圆柱形侧壁20形式的裙缘。侧壁20和上壁16的接合部限定了台肩18,台肩18可提供用于接收容器底部12上端的可选上环形凹槽。在所示实施例中,上壁16、台肩18和侧壁20形成单件结构,即由连续的单个坯料构成而非由零件组装而成。然而,上壁16和侧壁20可通过焊接、钎焊或其它类似方法机械地接合以形成台肩18,以使得盖由零件组装而成。如图2所示,当盖14定位或安坐于容器上时,在容器10内限定出封闭的存储腔室24。存储腔室24是保持烟草产品直到被消费者移走的地方。
如图3所示,因为盖14和容器底部12都为大致圆形形状,所以它们限定并共享共用中心点26。盖14的上壁16从中心点26大致径向向外延伸大约0.5英寸至大约2英寸。因此,盖具有大约1英寸至大约4英寸之间的直径47。然而在其它实施例中直径可以更大或更小。在图2的所示实施例中,盖14的直径47为大约2.3英寸。尽管示出了大致圆形形状,在其它实施例中,盖14和容器底部12可提供为其它形状。
返回参照图2,上壁16包括在相对方向上面对的底面和顶面15、17(即内表面和外表面)。在盖14由片状金属形成时,底面和顶面15、17彼此平行以使得上壁16可视为大致平面的或平坦。尽管未示出,上壁16可包括压花字母、数字、图像等(统称为“标识”)。压花标识可远离容器向上突出或者向下突出到存储腔室24中。就这点而言,压花标识具有大约0.015英寸或更小的高度或深度。
在图3的所示实施例中,形成于上壁16上的任何压花标识位于压花界限32(用虚线表示)的径向内侧并且在上壁16的压花部分34内。如所示,压花界限32从上壁16的中心点26大致径向向外延伸大约0.5英寸至大约1英寸。因此,压花界限32的直径49为大约1英寸至大约2英寸。在图3的所示实施例中,压花界限32的直径49为1.85英寸。
仍然参照图3,在所示实施例中,上壁16的环形非压花平坦部分36将台肩18和压花部分34分隔开。这个非压花平坦部分36的目的是便于盖14的侧壁20在金属成形操作期间在紧配合公差内适当的弯曲和折叠操作(也称为卷边操作),用于适当的接口、卡扣配合和保鲜功能。环形平坦部分36的内直径与上壁16的中心点26间隔开大约0.75英寸至大约1.25英寸。
转至图4,如所示,台肩18与上壁16和侧壁20一体地形成。台肩18径向延伸大约0.05英寸至大约0.3英寸,并从上壁向上大约0.01英寸至大约0.2英寸。替代地,当没有可选的凹陷区段时,台肩将根本不从上壁16向上延伸并且将直接汇合入上壁16。
尽管图5中示出为包括台肩18且台肩18具有圆角100和使得在上壁16中形成凹陷的斜坡部分102,不过上壁16和侧壁20可在圆角100处形成接合部并且不具有斜坡部分102。例如参见图7和8。在这种实施例中,上壁16从盖14的中心至它的圆形周边为大致平面。而且,如图4所示,可在圆角和斜坡部分之间形成平坦部。
返回图5,其中示出了盖14的局部放大剖视图。在所示实施例中,台肩18包括斜坡段102和便于从上壁16过渡至侧壁20的圆角100。侧壁20绕着中心26圆周地(参见图3)并且从台肩18向下地延伸。侧壁20包括环形外壁段54、折叠部40、环形内壁段52、过渡段112以及卷曲部114,所有这些也都绕着中心26圆周地延伸,形成大致环形件。这里所使用的环形可涵盖不止圆形并且能包括例如长形、卵圆形、椭圆形等。
环形内壁段和外壁段52、54径向地重叠并且由折叠部40接合。环形外壁段54在轴向上笔直地远离上壁16延伸并且终止于折叠部40处。环形内壁段52从折叠部40开始在轴向上笔直地朝着上壁16延伸并且终止于过渡段112处。在优选实施例中,环形内壁段52大致平行于环形外壁段54,不过从其径向向内间隔开。环形内壁段52可轴向地向上延伸一段距离,这段距离在不同实施例中可变化以调节盖的强度和刚度,以及适应于与各种构造的容器底部12互锁。而且,环形内壁段52可整体地省略,下面将更详细地描述。
置于环形内壁段和外壁段52、54之间的是环形间隙110,因为壁段52、54大致彼此平行并且径向地重叠。然而,在替代实施例中,间隙110能取消以使得壁段52、54径向地接触和/或环形内壁段和外壁段52、54斜交而非平行。而且,壁段52、54可相对彼此成微小的角度延伸。
过渡段112从环形内壁段52径向向内并与之远离地延伸,并且终止于卷曲部114。一旦处于如上所述的其折叠构造,盖14具有从台肩18延伸至折叠部40的大约0.1至大约0.5英寸的总体高度,并且更优选地大约0.25英寸。
折叠部40提供了倒圆且平滑的周边。因此,因为侧壁20具有折叠部40,其就无需修滑、倒圆、磨光或不然的话机加工以避免锋利边缘。折叠部40因此可用作盖14的底部处的安全措施。而且,折叠部40允许盖14可更快速、容易且低成本地制造,因为无需另外的机加工来去除锋利边缘。
仍然参照图5,卷曲部114,如所示,为钩形并且包括第一卷曲段118、径向最远点120、第二卷曲段122、以及第三卷曲段124。在所示实施例中,卷曲部114由侧壁20的终端形成。卷曲部114用作增强特征以及用于将盖14连接至容器底部12的连接件,下面将更详细描述。
第一卷曲段118为大致弓形并且大致径向向内延伸。第一卷曲段118开始于过渡段112并且终止于径向向内的径向最远点120。第二卷曲段122为大致弓形并且开始于径向最远点120且径向向外地延伸至轴向最远点,最靠近台肩18。
第三卷曲段124开始于轴向最远点且朝着折叠部40轴向地往回弯曲并且轴向地远离台肩18。第三卷曲段124包括与环形外壁段54的内表面126大致相切的一部分。在一个实施例中,第三卷曲段124维持与环形外壁段54的内表面126相啮合。然而,在其它实施例中,第三卷曲段124无需接触侧壁54。第一、第二和第三卷曲段118、122、124一起限定环形通道116。
虽然如所示卷曲部114大致为钩形,但是其可形成为多种其它构造。典型地,卷曲部114的径向最远点120从内表面126径向向内一段大约0.015至大约0.15英寸的距离,但是优选地为大约0.025英寸。卷曲部114典型地置于上壁16和过渡段112之间。
而且,由卷曲部114和环形内壁段52形成的钩形形状径向向内地将卷曲部114的径向内最远点120从环形内壁段52的内表面向内偏移。因而,钩形的横截面形成大致“?”轮廓。这些钩形仅在横截面视角中看到并且实际上为环形结构。
侧壁20并且尤其在所示形式的卷曲部114中包括增强特征时提供了足够的强度和刚度以允许盖14具有相比典型地盖而言减小的壁厚t,这个厚度优选地小于0.007英寸。
而且,因为卷曲部114由环形内壁段52的远端部分形成而非由形成于环形外壁段54中的凸缘所形成,因此环形外壁段54具有基本上圆柱形的外表面(即排除台肩18和折叠部40的部分),其在沿着环形外壁段54的所有轴向位置处具有恒定的半径。因而,容器10在组装好时能形成基本上圆柱形容器(即排除台肩18、折叠部40和形成于容器盖14和容器底部12之间的任何间隙)。
盖14典型地通过使用多个渐进工具比如渐进冲模、辊等分阶段地形成盖14而制造。这些阶段也可称为卷边。
在形成大致杯形构件之后,典型地使用第一工具来形成卷曲部114。然后可使用第二工具来形成折叠部40从而限定环形内壁段和外壁段52、54以使得它们处于成角度关系并且彼此间大致横向并且典型地正交。然后可使用第三工具来定向环形内壁段和外壁段52、54以使得它们大致彼此平行。第四工具可用来形成过渡段112并将环形内壁段52布置为靠近环形外壁段54的内表面126且将第三卷曲段124布置为抵靠内表面126并与之可啮合地接触。
在其它实施例中,可使用单个工具来形成卷曲部114以及折叠环形内壁段和外壁段52、54以使得它们彼此间大致横向并且典型地正交。而且在其它实施例中,与使用渐进加工工艺相反来将卷曲部114定位于其最终位置,可使用单个工具来定向环形内壁段和外壁段52、54以使得它们平行并且第三卷曲段124定位为与环形外壁段54的内表面126相接触,因而避免了需要如上所述的第三工具。
在图2所示的实施例中,上壁16的内表面15、环形外壁段54的内表面126、环形内壁段52、以及卷曲部114用酚醛金漆(gold phenolic finish)涂覆。即使如此,在其它实施例中,其它类型的涂层或漆也可应用于或形成于这些内表面上。
现在参照图6,盖14示出为安装于容器底部12上。容器底部12的外表面92包含圆周凸缘78。这样,当盖14安装并互锁于容器12上时,卷曲部114和凸缘78直接接触并彼此啮合。这样,所示实施例的卷曲部114用作如上所述的增强特征以及用作将盖14紧固至容器底部12的连接器(也称为连接件)。一旦安装好,在容器10的环形内壁段和外表面92之间就存在着径向的环形间隙56。环形间隙56典型地在大约0.005和大约0.050英寸之间。
间隙56帮助将盖14引导到容器12上。如所示,盖14和容器底部12可套叠地结合在一起以形成容器10并保持产品。另外,间隙56使得消费者在将盖14从容器12分离时能更好地用手指抓握或抓紧盖14,尤其是折叠部40。为了将盖14紧固至容器,盖14被轴向向下偏置直到卷曲部114滑过凸缘78,在其间形成轴向卡扣配合和/或干涉配合。
台肩18的内表面93与容器侧壁90的远端19相接触,防止盖14进一步轴向向下运动。然而,如上所述,盖14也可被供应为不具有所示台肩18的构造。在如此供应时,当盖14安装于容器底部12上时,上壁16的底面15可与远端19相接触。这种接触提供了容器底部12和盖14之间的密封。
为了将盖14从容器底部12分离,盖被轴向向上偏置直到卷曲部114再次滑过凸缘78。一旦卷曲部114在凸缘78的竖直上方,盖14可毫无其它障碍地自由地提升离开容器底部12。将盖14紧固至容器12和从容器12去除的过程可在每当希望存取存储腔室24的内容物时重复。凸缘78可由在容器侧壁90周围圆周地延伸的单个连续肋、突起或台肩限定或者替代地由多个成角度地间隔开的中断肋、台肩或突起所限定。
现在转向图7和8,示出了盖214的替代实施例。侧壁220的终端在折叠部240处径向向内卷曲,形成卷曲部252。在这个实施例中,盖214的上壁216不具有凹陷。在所示这个实施例中,盖214的上壁216在由台肩253限定的接合处会合。
尤其参照图8,示出了卷曲部252的更详细视图。在所示实施例中,卷曲部252已经机械地平整。这样,卷曲部252包括折叠部240(也称为底部弯曲段)、平状延伸段258、以及顶部弯曲段260。平状延伸段258从而从环形外壁段254径向向内延伸一段至少比侧壁220的厚度要大的距离。如所示,侧壁220的顶部弯曲段260不啮合环形外壁段254,从而在顶部弯曲段260的远端和环形外壁段254之间形成径向间隙253。顶部弯曲段的远端径向地面对环形外壁段254的内表面。然而,卷曲部252也可形成为使得顶部弯曲段260啮合环形外壁段254。折叠部240、平状延伸段258、以及顶部弯曲段260一起限定宽度大于侧壁20的厚度的环形通道262。
仍然参照图8,尽管示出为平状卷曲部252,但是卷曲部也可保持为不平状态,如图6所示,即通过不使延伸段258变平。
从前面的描述中,本领域技术人员将认识到,用于烟草容器的盖具有改进的增强特征,卷曲部,其允许盖由壁厚小于0.007英寸的片状金属机加工而成,从而降低总体材料成本。
