Definitions
- the present invention concerns a bottle with an inner volume for receiving a flowable, preferably a liquid, composition.
- the present invention further concerns an upper part, preferably a cap, for this bottle, as well as a set of bottle and upper part.
- Bottles for receiving and thus storing liquids are known to be used in the most varied kinds of shapes, and materials.
- Very common bottles for holding liquids, such as detergent compositions are made of plastic material.
- Such bottles also comprise caps for closing the inner volume, such that when filled and closed the flowable composition (which excludes gases and vapours) is kept inside the bottle, independently of the orientation of the bottle.
- the present invention solves this problem of providing a tight seal with a bottle according to claim 1, an upper part according to claim 9, and a set of bottle and upper part according to claim 17.
- the dependent claims concern developments of the invention.
- the invention concerns a bottle comprising a neck.
- the neck comprise an opening, and the opening has a circular cross-section.
- the bottle has an inner volume for receiving a flowable, preferably a liquid, composition through the opening.
- the neck comprises an external thread.
- An example of such a thread is a right-handed external thread of a plastic bottle suitable for a plastic screw cap.
- the thread according to the invention comprises a thread-start and a thread-end, the thread-start being arranged closer to the opening than the thread-end.
- the neck further comprises an external helical slope, comprising a slope-start and a slope-end, the slope-start being arranged closer to the opening than the slope-end.
- the external thread and the helical slope have the same handedness. Thus, the thread and the slope are either both right handed or both left handed.
- the thread is preferably arranged at a position of the neck, which is closer to the opening. Thus, closer to the top of the bottom for a bottle which has the opening on the top when standing on a base.
- the slope is preferably arranged at a position of the neck that is further from the opening as the position for the thread. Thus, the slope is preferably below the thread for a bottle having the opening on the top when standing on a base.
- the thread-start and the slope-end have a common cylindrical axis and are radially aligned relative to the common cylindrical axis.
- the slope-end preferably ends at a radial wall.
- a radial wall is a wall that extends along a radius starting from the common cylindrical axis.
- the neck comprises a first cylindrical section, a second cylindrical section, wherein the first cylindrical section has a smaller outer diameter than the outer diameter of the second cylindrical section and is closer to the opening than the second cylindrical section.
- the neck further comprises a third cylindrical section; wherein the second cylindrical section has a smaller outer diameter than the outer diameter of the third cylindrical section and is closer to the opening than the third cylindrical section.
- the first and second sections preferably also the third if available, have a common cylindrical axis.
- the thread is arranged on the first cylindrical section and the slope is arranged on the second cylindrical section.
- slope and the thread are arranged parallel in axial direction relative to the common axis. Thus, they have the same lead.
- the thread has a single start. This ensures that the end position of the upper part is always the same pre-determined position when threaded on the neck.
- the diameter of the neck immediately following the lower side of the slope is equal or greater than the external diameter of the slope. That reinforces the slope against axial forces.
- the neck preferably comprises a stopper at a predefined angular position. Because of the stopper, it is possible to screw a suitable counter-thread over the thread, the screw movement stopping at the pre-defined angular position.
- the angular position is relative to the common axis (as named herein as common cylindrical axis).
- the slope-end and the slope-start are radially aligned relative to the common axis so that the radial wall is a step bridging the slope-end to the slope-start. That means that the slope's angular length is preferably multiple of 360°. In one preferred embodiment the step is the stopper.
- the thread-end ends at a radial wall so that when a suitable counter-thread is threaded over the thread, the radial wall is suitable to stop the screw motion when the counter-thread reaches the radial wall.
- the radial wall is an auxiliary stopper, and is preferably aligned with the step at the same pre-defined angular position.
- the major thread diameter of the thread is smaller than the minor slope diameter.
- the minor slope diameter is the diameter of the neck at the position extending from the slope towards the thread.
- a second aspect of the invention concerns an upper part for the bottle according to the invention.
- upper-part and bottle are made to cooperate with each other.
- the upper-part is preferably a cap.
- the upper part is able to close the opening, and comprises:
- the counter-thread and the counter-slope have an angular length of at least 90°, preferably at least 180° so that, when unscrewing the upper part on the bottle, the simultaneous contact extends to an angular length of at least 90°, more preferably at least 180°.
- the counter-thread comprises a counter-radial-segment at its end configured to cooperate with the radial-wall of the thread-end, when screwed on the bottle.
- the slope and the thread are arranged parallel in axial direction relative to the common axis, therefore providing two contact points for a suitable cap with a counter thread and a corresponding counter slope.
- the counter-slope preferably comprises a counter-step, preferably in axial direction, configured to cooperate with the step of the slope-end.
- the wall of the cylindrical wall, on which the thread is arranged has, at one end which is suitable to face the slope when the upper part is screwed on the bottle, an axially protruding wall segment, preferably as a slope shaped cut, which is suitable to cooperate with the slope.
- the upper part further comprises an annular contact surface, configured to seal a bottle at the bottle opening, when the upper part is screwed the bottle, preferably when the upper part is screwed to the bottle until at least one, preferably both, of the following conditions is satisfied:
- the upper part is a cap for the bottle, the cap being configured to provide a tight seal to the bottle.
- the cap provides a tight seal to the bottle for closing the inner volume of the bottle and thus configured to retain liquid inside when the bottle is filled.
- the present invention also foresees a set of bottle with cap comprising a bottle and an upper part as described herein.
- a set of bottle with cap comprising a bottle and an upper part as described herein.
- a closed bottle Preferably is a closed bottle, further preferably a closed bottle comprising liquid detergent.
- the bottle and/or the set according to the invention is especially advantageously when being used with an upper part having a spout.
- the upper part when screwed on the bottle will always be oriented on the bottle at a pre-determined orientation, thus the spout will have the pre-determined orientation.
- the external thread is a trapezoidal thread.
- the profile of such a thread has a trapezoidal outline.
- Such thread profiles are known, although for other uses.
- Such a thread as also shown in the figures, provide a secure screwing and unscrewing for the upper part on the bottle. Larger forces can be applied without damaging the screw, thus enabling a tight lock of the upper part on the bottle to be achieved.
- the neck is free of an external helical slope; the neck comprises an abutment serving as a stopper to the counter-slope.
- the thread be a trapezoidal thread.
- the abutment is configured to cooperate with the counter-step of the counter-slope when a suitable counter-thread is threaded until the end over the thread.
- Screw motion, screwing, threading, or when threaded have all the same meaning within the current invention disclosure.
- External thread means it is a male thread.
- Diameter of the neck is the external diameter.
- a helical slope is slope is defining a helicoid in axial direction.
- the outer diameter of the neck includes the major diameter of the thread at the threads position.
- the outer diameter of the slope includes the major diameter of the thread at the slope's position.
- Figure 1 and 2 show an example of an embodiment according to the invention.
- Figure 1 shows one view of a neck according to the invention. It is shown a neck (4) with an opening (2), a thread (15) comprising a thread-start (8) and a slope (10).
- Figure 2 shows the other side view of the neck of figure 1 . It is shown a neck (4) with an opening (2), a thread (15) comprising a thread-start (8) and a slope (10). The thread ends at a radial wall (14). The slope ends at a step (16).
