- the container closure (lid) can be used to resist and make readily detectable tampering of the products at the point of sale.
- Particular examples include dairy products, cosmetics, granular or powdered food products such as tubs for bread crumbs, hardware product tubs for screws, nuts and bolts, and so on.
- the tamper-resistant tamper-evident container closure may be provided for ice cream, dairy and other food products that are commercially practical and provides the level of tamper evidence needed for food safety.
- FIG. 1 shows an example closure 10 in accordance with the present disclosure.
- the closure 10 is a snap-on closure such as a lid, and may be suitable for use to close an opening of a food container such as a plastic or paperboard container (e.g., an ice cream container).
- the closure 10 of FIG. 1 has a top cover panel 20 and may be manufactured using a molding process, as described further below.
- the closure 10 may include a top cover panel 20, a top cylindrical band portion 30 with upper and lower margins 30a and 30b, respectively, and a bottom cylindrical band portion 40 with upper and lower peripheral margins 40a and 40b, respectively.
- the top cylindrical band portion 30 and the bottom cylindrical band portion 40 are integrally formed and connected, and these portions 30, 40 as a single unit may be referred to in the application as the cylindrical closure portion (closure member) 15.
- the top cylindrical band portion 30 and the bottom cylindrical band portion 40 are connected by a line of weakness 50 as described below.
- the top cylindrical band portion 30 has a top cover panel 20 that is recessed from the outer side of the top cylindrical band portion 30 and extends upwardly and inwardly. Beneath the top cover panel 20, the closure 10 provides an annular ledge 18.
- the top cover panel 20 may consist of a paper disk or the like that may be printed on its upper side for product identification, marketing information, graphics etc. Particularly for use with ice-cream and food products, the cover panel 20 will have a polymer layer attached to the underside for keeping moisture from the product from entering through the paper. In the embodiment illustrated in FIGS. 6A, 6B , 7A and 7B , the top cover panel 20 is continuous with the annular ledge 18.
- the bottom cylindrical band portion 40 has a plurality of circumferentially spaced tamper evident tooth systems 70 (may also be referred to herein as tamper resistant teeth). Extending upwardly and inwardly from the lower peripheral margin 40b of the bottom cylindrical band 40 at the plurality of tamper evident tooth system 70 are a plurality of circumferentially spaced teeth 60.
- the plurality of teeth 60 lock under the rim of the container when the closure 10 is first pushed downwardly to seal the container.
- the plurality of teeth 60 act as a tamper resistant mechanism on the closure 10.
- the plurality of teeth 60 may include notches 64, 66 located at the right and left sides of a top edge 62 of the teeth 60.
- the notches 64,66 may further facilitate the locking engagement of the plurality of teeth 60 of the rim of the container.
- each tamper evident tooth system 70 between the plurality of teeth 60 and the lower peripheral edge 30b of the top cylindrical band portion 30 is an open space.
- Each tamper evident tooth system 70 further has a plurality of projections 72 that connect the plurality of teeth 60 to the bottom peripheral area 30b of the top cylindrical band portion 30.
- the plurality of projections 72 may be seen when viewing the outer side of the closure 10, providing an effective means for determining if the closure 10 has been tampered with. Additionally, the plurality of projections 72 may function to increase the force of engagement of the plurality of teeth 60 against the lip of the container.
- each tamper evident tooth system 70 there are two or more projections 76 that are connected to the bottom of the plurality of teeth 60 and to the lower peripheral margin 40b of the bottom cylindrical band portion 40.
- the projections 76 may provide additional rigidity to the plurality of teeth 60 and also may assist in increasing the force of engagement of the plurality of teeth 60 against the lip of the container.
- the upper peripheral margin 40a of the bottom cylindrical band portion 40 is thinned and weakened.
- the line of weakness 50 includes one or more of a circumferential notch 52, the plurality of projections 72, and open spaces that are viewable from the outer side of the bottom cylindrical band portion 40. Legitimate opening of the container by a consumer starts by separating the top cylindrical band portion 30 from the bottom cylindrical band portion 40 by tearing away the bottom cylindrical band portion 40 along the line of weakness 50.
- the bottom cylindrical band portion 40 is provided with a gripping means.
- the bottom cylindrical band 40 is formed with an accessible edge portion 45 disposed at a location along the outwardly facing surface.
- the accessible edge portion 45 may include projections or ridges on its outer surface that assist a user's ability to grip and hold the portion 45.
- the closure 10 has a multi-snap closing.
- the inner surface 32 of the top cylindrical band portion 30 may have a plurality of continuous annular ridges 38 extending inwardly along the circumference of the inner surface 32.
- the plurality of continuous annular ridges 38 provide multiple contact points against a paperboard or cardboard rim 102 of a container 100.
- the plurality of continuous annular ridges 38 provide multiple places to contact the paperboard rim 102, thereby improving the seal of the closure 10 on the container 100.
- the plurality of continuous annular ridges 38 provide an improved mechanism for resealing the container 100.
- the top cylindrical band 30 and the bottom cylindrical band 40 of the closure 10 may be manufactured by a one-piece molding process, such as injection-molding, using a single mold. This one-step process may help to simplify manufacturing and/or reduce manufacturing costs.
- the closure 10 may be molded using any suitable polymer, for example any suitable food-grade plastic when used as a closure for a food container (e.g., used as a lid on a yogurt or ice cream container).
- the cover panel 20 may be made of the same plastic material as the top cylindrical band portion 30 and the bottom cylindrical band portion 40. Accordingly, in this embodiment, the cover panel 20, the top cylindrical portion 30 and the bottom cylindrical portion 40 may be manufactured by a one-piece molding process, such as injection-molding, using a single mold.
- the closure 10 of the present application has specific elements that facilitate the molding process. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 , the closure 10 has one or more openings or gates 80 located on the upper peripheral portion 30a of the top cylindrical band portion 30. The gates 80 act as an opening for the plastic resin to enter a mold and fill the mold cavity.
- the upper peripheral portion 40a of the bottom cylindrical band portion 40 has multiple tooth channels that allow the plastic to flow into the tamper evident tooth system 70.
- the tamper evident tooth system 70 includes the plurality of teeth 60 that is formed on the bottom cylindrical band 40 and the plurality of projections 72.
- the plurality of projections 72 define and/or delineate the tooth channels in the corresponding mold.
- the tooth channels improve the process of filling the mold cavity and also increases the speed by which the tamper evident tooth system 70 that includes the plurality of teeth 60 and the projections 72 are formed.
- the tooth channels reduce the amount of defects in the tamper evident tooth system 70.
- the tooth channels further facilitate the creation of larger and thicker tamper resistant bands than conventional solutions, thereby increasing the rigidity of the plurality of teeth 60.
- the tamper evident tooth system 70 has edges 64, 66 that slope inwardly.
- the cover panel 20 is inserted into the mold.
- the mold is filled with resin by injection.
- the resin covers the edge of the paper cover panel 20, creating the lid.
- the mold then collapses at the edges of the tamper evident tooth system 70 to facilitate the ejection of the part from the mold.
- FIG. 4A illustrates the closure 10 with a container 100
- FIG. 4B illustrates the closure 10 attached to the container 100
