Definitions

  • the present invention refers to an assembly of a container and of a closing lid, in plastic material, particularly suitable for packaging liquid, pasty or solid substances in loose state, having the features of claim 1.
  • Packaging substances in loose state is widespread in the food industry and in other sectors, by containers made of plastic material closed by a lid that snaps onto a peripheral wall of the container, and which can be removed after removing a tear strip.
  • Container and lid assemblies made of plastic material provided with a snap engaging system of the lid, and with a tear-off safety strip, are disclosed for example in WO 2015/197501 of the same applicant, which constitutes the state of the art that the present invention intends to improve, in US 9.340.332 and WO 01/19697 .
  • WO 2015/197501 refers to a container and lid assembly made of plastic material according to the preamble to claim 1, in which the lid and the container are provided with respective outer skirts configured with a multiple system of snap engaging beads; in this manner, a good outer seal and good mechanical resistance to accidental opening of the container are obtained.
  • annular beads involve lid engaging forces that are prevalently directed in a direction that is parallel to the longitudinal axis of the container, with the risk that an elastic deformation of the container, following a fall or for other causes, may cause the lid to become detached and an accidental opening of the container, with consequent loss of the substance contained and contamination of the external environment.
  • US 9.340.332 for its part discloses the assembly of a container and a lid made of plastic material, in which the lid comprises a tear-off safety strip, provided with angularly spaced apart tamper tabs and accessible through openings of the rim of the lid; the single tabs are oriented inwards to engage a bead of the side wall of the container.
  • the single tabs are connected to the safety strip by suitable beads.
  • the solution according to US 9.340.332 is thus deleterious and unsuitable for combined use with the closing system of WO 2015/197501 , because not only does it not permit suitable mechanical resistance of the closure, but does not permit a suitable hermetic seal of the container.
  • the main object of the present invention is to provide an assembly of a container and a lid made of plastic material, provided with an improved closing system compared to WO 2015/197501 , in which the engagement of the lid with the container is facilitated more, requiring a comparatively lower closing force.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide an assembly of a container and a lid made of plastic material, as defined above, suitable to provide a greater mechanical resistance, and a better seal, in the event of great impact and deformation of the container as a result of an accidental fall or for other reasons.
  • an assembly is provided of a container and a lid made of plastic material, comprising:
  • the container-lid assembly according to the present invention is distinguished from previous solutions, inasmuch as the skirt of the lid is provided with a hooking crown to the annular rib of the channel of the skirt of the container, in which the hooking crown is outwardly extending from a peripheral rim of the skirt of the lid, and in which the hooking crown comprised a plurality of side by side arranged tabs separated by cross slits, each hooking tab being connected to the peripheral rim of the skirt of the lid by an elastically flexible hinge.
  • the single hooking tabs are elastically moved inside at the moment of closing and subsequently to the outside to engage the bead inside the annular channel of the skirt of the container.
  • the assembly comprises a container 10 made of plastic material, having a bottom 11, a side wall 12, and a closing lid 13 that are engageable by a snap seal to the side wall 12 of the container 10.
  • the side wall 12 of the container 10 has an annular rim 14 that extends axially upwards with respect to an outer skirt 15; the skirt 15 surrounds the container 10, and is radially spaced apart from the peripheral wall 12.
  • the skirt 15 of the container extends downwards from the upper rim 14 of the wall 12; further, it is configured on the outer side with a first annular bead 16 near the rim 14 of the container, and with a second annular bead 17 in an intermediate position below the first bead 16.
  • the skirt 15, in a position below both annular beads 16 and 17, is configured with an upwardly open outer annular channel 18; the annular channel 18 is provided with an outer wall 19 having an annular bead 20 facing inside, near an upper rim thereof.
  • the annular bead 20 as shown in the enlarged detail of figure 7 , is configured with a downwardly slanted upper surface 21 and with an undercut annular throat 22, for the reasons set out below.
  • the two annular beads 16 and 17 of the skirt 15 are in turn configured with surfaces that are suitable for providing annular locking and sealing contact zones with corresponding annular beads of an outer skirt 28 of the lid 13, as shown in figures 2 , 5 and 6 .
  • the skirt 15 of the container 10, at the annular channel 18, has a third annular bead 23 that is suitable for engaging a corresponding bead 23' of the skirt 28 of the lid 13, as explained further below.
  • the lid 13 comprises a flat central zone 24, having a peripheral wall 25 that extends upwards from the outer rim of the lid, parallel to the longitudinal axis of the container 10.
  • the peripheral wall 25 is configured with a downwardly open annular channel 26; the channel 26 is suitable for allowing the upper rim 14 of the container to be press fitted, and a seal coupling between reciprocal contact side surfaces 27 and 27'.
  • the lid 13 is further provided with an outer skirt 28 that surrounds, in a spaced apart position, the outer wall 25; the skirt 28 protrudes from the annular channel 26 and extends downwards beyond the peripheral wall 25.
  • the outer skirt 28 of the lid 13 is configured with a first upper strip 29 having a first inner annular bead 30 suitable for snap and sealingly engaging the first outer bead 16 of the skirt 15 of the container; the skirt 28 comprises a second lower strip 31 having a second annular bead 32 suitable for snap and sealingly engaging the second outer bead 17 of the container 10.
  • the outer skirt 28 of the lid 13 is further provided with a third annular strip 33, in an intermediate position between the upper strip 29 and the lower strip 31; the intermediate strip 33 is one piece with the entire lid.
  • the strip 33 is further connected to the annular beads 30 and 32 by respective weakened tear-off breaking line 34 and 35, more clearly shown in figure 6 ; the strip 33 can be torn off by pulling on a relative tab 36 ( figure 3 ).
  • the skirt 15 of the container 10 and the skirt 28 of the lid 13 are configured for providing, in the assembled condition of figure 2 , annular seal chambers that permit optimum hermetic closure of the container.
  • a first annular seal chamber 37 is formed, figure 2 , at the upper strip 29 of the skirt 28, and a second annular seal chamber 38 at the tear-off strip 33, in an intermediate position between the upper beads 16, 30 and the lower beads 17, 32 of the two hooking skirts 15 and 28.
  • a third annular seal chamber 39 is provided at the lower annular strip 31, that protrudes inside the channel 18, and a fourth annular seal chamber 46 in the zone comprised between the annular rim 14 of the peripheral wall 12 of the container that sealing enters with interference into the channel 26 of the lid 13.
  • one aspect of the present invention consists of configuring the lid 13 with a finned crown 40, figure 3 , for hooking the lid 13, that extends outside the rim of the lower strip 31 of the skirt 28; the crown 40 has a plurality of tabs 41 elastically biased against the outer wall 19 of the channel 18, in the form of a pawl suitable for being hooked to the annular bead 20.
  • the lower annular strip 31 of the skirt 28 of the lid is provided with a peripheral crown 40, figure 3 , that protrudes outwards from the lower rim of the skirt 28.
  • the finned crown 40 comprises a plurality of tabs 41 arranged side by side, in which contiguous tabs 41 are separated from one another by a narrow transverse slit 41', figure 4 , for example of the order of about a millimetre or little more.
  • the single hooking tabs 41 are connected to the outer rim of the lower annular strip 31 of the skirt 28, by an elastically flexible hinge 42.
  • the single hooking tabs 41 can have any form of cross section; for example they can have a triangular section, of gradually increasing thickness, bounded by side surfaces 43, 44 diverging to the outer rim 41A. Accordingly the tabs 41, at the outer rim 41A, have a thickness that is the same as or little greater than the distance existing between the inner surface 15' of the channel 18, consisting of the corresponding outer surface of the lower strip 31, and the inner rim of the bead 20 that is suitable for being the hook with the tabs 41; in this manner the tabs 41 can penetrate the channel 18 exceeding the bead 20 with slight forcing and flexure of the outer wall 19 of the channel 18.
  • the hooking tabs 41 are slanted outwards and upwards, for example at an angle comprised between 20°C and 50° between the outer side surface 43 of the tabs 41 and the outer surface 15' of the lower strip 31 of the peripheral skirt 28 of the lid 13.
  • the outwards and upwards slanted arrangement of the tabs 41 facilitates the automatic refolding backwards thereof around the elastic hinge 42 and the insertion thereof into the channel 18 during assembly of the lid on the container; it further facilitates the return to the initial position of the tabs 41 for the elastic memory of the hinge 42.
  • the upwards slanting of the tabs 41 prevents the tabs, during movement of the lids before assembly, bending for external reasons excessively downwards, hindering closure of the lid on the container.
  • the beads 30 and 32 of the lid lock against the beads 16 and 17 of the skirt 15 of the container and sealingly close the annular chambers 37, 38 and 39; further, the upper rim 14 of the container is forced to sealingly penetrate the upper channel 27 of the lid.
  • closure of the lid 13 on the container 10 is achieved that is characterized by numerous mechanical hooking points and by numerous hermetic seal zones.
  • the mechanical resistance against accidental opening of the container is further improved by the elastic action of a channel-formed upwardly oriented annular bead 45, between the flat central zone 24 of the lid and the peripheral wall 25.
