CLOSURE.
' Application filed August 30, 1924. Serial No. 735,081.
This invention relates to a receptacle closurefand aims to provide a device of this character particularly .adapted for use in connection with the sealing of receptacles of the milkbottle type.
lit is an object of the invention to provide a closure of improved construction which may readily be applied-to a receptacle by an inexperienced person, and by means of a simple form of tool so "that by the practice of the present invention it becomes unnecessary to utilize a large and expensive outlay of apparatus, thus enabling a relatively small dairyman or other user to readily employ the closure.
A further object of the invention is that ofproviding a device of the character stated,
which, when in applied position, will serve to furnish a positive seal,-thus' preventing the entrance of foreign matter into the receptacle, or the spillage of-any of the contents of the latter.
A. still further object is to be predicated on the furnishing of a closure which will be of: such a nature, and applied in such a manner, that the danger of receptacle breakage is reduced to a minimum.
Another object of the present invention,
embraces the thought of providing a closure 7 which will not accidentally become unsealed, but which, when desired, may readily be opened without injury to the fingers.
Still another object is that of providing an improved closure preferably of such a nature that when the same is once opened it may be readily detached, or, in fact, will.
be practically automatically removed from the receptacle with which it is associated, so that upon the return of the latter for the purpose of cleansing, refilling and rescaling, no time will be lost in the removal 'ofthc previously used seal.
1 An additional object is that of providing a closure which will eiliciently perform the purposes for which it is intended, and which will also be'economically and readily manufactured and assembled.
Other objects of the invention will in part be obvious and will in part appear hereinafter.
The invention accordingly comprises an article of manufacture possessing the features, properties, and the relation of elements which will be exemplified in the article herebe had to the following detailed description taken in connection with drawings, in which:
Fig. 1 is a side elevation of a receptacle neck having applied thereto one form of closure constructed within the terms of the present invention;
Fig. 2 is a plan view of a part of the closure member prior to the application thereof to a cap;
Fig. 3 is an enlarged sectional plan view of the separated ends of one portion of the closure member;
Fig. 4 is a similar view, illustrating these end-portions in joined position;
l igs. 5 and 6 are transverse sectional views taken along the lines 5-5 and 6-6, respecthe accompanying ASSIGNOR, BY MESNE AS- tively, and in the direction of the arrows indicated in Fig. 2; I
Fig. 7 is a view similar to Fig. 4, but showing a slightly different construction which may be resorted to, if desired; and
Figs. 8 and 9 are fragmentary side elevations of closure member portions. Referring primarily to Fig. 1 it will be noted that the invention has been shown as used in connection with a receptacle of the milk bottle type. It will be appreciated, however, that a closure of the nature hereinafter described will lend itself for'use in connection with Widely varying types of receptacles, and for numerous different purposes.
Thus, the reference numeral 10 indicates the neck of a bottle, which is formed with a lip 11 adjacent its month. In order to close this outlet portion of the receptacle a ca of any desirable material may be employed, which includes a' depressed or cup-shaped central portion 12, a body 13 and a skirtportion 14. A cap of this type is, in many respects, particularly advantageous, in that by using the same it is notnecessary to employ an inner sealin addition tothe cap, it being understood that heretofore it has been customary to utilize a supplemental sealing member in the nature of a disk of material.
More particularly it will be found that bv employing a cap of the nature aforedetual practice that where this form of construction is employed an extremely desirable seal-is provided, which possesses all the advantages of the cap commonly used at present, while having none of the disadvantages of the same.
The present invention concerns itself, however, to a great extent with that portion of a closure member which serves as a seal. In the present instance, this member is in the na ture-of a split band having a flat body 16, preferably formed of a somewhat bendable material and curved in shape so that its ends may be readily brought to points adjacent each other. These ends are preferably in the nature of oflset portions Hand 18, respectively, and in the formation'of these portions flanges 19 ma be provided, which extend between the si e edges of the band body and the end-portions thereof, and serve to sufliciently rigidity the parts to thus prevent an accidental unbending of the end-portions.
Now, with the view of connecting these end-portions to ether it will be noted in the present exemplification that the part 17 is formed with an opening 20 of a diameter suflicient to accommodate a collar 21, which forms a part of the end-portion 18. In practice this collar is passed through the opening 20, and is subsequently bent to extend out wardly at portionsadjacent its edge, whereby it is prevented from being retracted through the opening aforenamed.
With the view of providing means serving toprevent a breakage of the receptacle u onone of the closure members being app ied thereto it will be noted, as has been clearly illustrated in Fig. 2, that the body 16 of the band may be formed with one or more series of corrugations 22. These corrugations are obviously formed in the band prior to its application to the cap or other element with which it is associated. Thus, assuming that the closure member is being used in conjunction with a cap of the nature illustrated in Fig. 1, the latter may be ap liedto the mouth of the receptacle, and the and constituting the closure member may be subsequently ap-' plied to the cap skirt-portion, and if by means of a suitable and relatively simple tool the ends 17 .and 18 are now drawn together, it
will be understood, assuming that the diameter ofthe receptacle neck is such that the 4, so that the parts Will-be locked against accidental removal.
In this connection it is to be noted, as a matter of fact it is preferred, that the effective length of the closure member be such as to be inadequate to completely enclose the neck of the receptacle, so that in each instance it will be necessary for the corrugated portions to be stretched in order to seal the closuremember. Infact, it is in most instances desirable to have the effective length of this retaining means sli litly less than the girth of thereceptacle at t e point of application of the former to the latter, it being understood that by this expedient the cap portion of the closure is virtually anchored in position. The amount of the stretching will of course vary, incident to the variations in the size of the individual receptaclcs, but in no instance will this stretching affect the tightness of the seal provided in that, first, the corrugated portionsare relativel stiff, and secondly, the band, being pre erably of a somewhat resilient material, will tend to resume its original effective length, which will necessarily result in an extremely tight.
seal being formed. Furthermore, it has been noted that, incident to providing a band which will accommodate itself to variations in the diameter and contour of a receptacle portion, the latter will at no time become broken during the application of the closure, thus avoiding one of the major objections to closures as heretofore utilized in connection with milk bottles or similar receptacles.
It will be obvious that with the closure member mounted, a previous opening thereof will be immediately apparent in that the retaining member which forms a part of the closure and serves to secure the cap in 1- tion upon the receptacle will have 11 broken. On the other hand, if it is desired to open this closure this may readily be accomplished in a number of desirable manners. For example, assuming that the member embraces the construction disclosed in Figs. 1 to 6, inclusive, it will be merely necessary to introduce the point of an ice-pick, prong of a fork or other desirable implement thrgpgh the opening or bore of the collar, an to slight y swing this im lement. This action will cause the band encii-x to be twisted, which forcibly retracted from its position withln and beyond the opening 20.
Likewise, a knife or similar instrument may be utilized to open the closure member, in that till tld
an instrument of this nature may be moved to occupy a position atwhich its edge will extend between the opposing faces of the endportions 17 and 18, whereupon, by slightly twisting the implement utilized (in order to obtain a lever action), these parts may be forced apart. In order to simplify this action the end- portions 17 and 18 may be joined in such a manner that a decided space exists between their outer faces at points adjacent their upper ed es, this having been indicated at 23 in Fig. By this expedient the introduction of a properimplement into the space aforementioned is greatly facilitated, and consequently, the operation of opening the closure member in the last described manner is somewhat expedited.
lln certain instances, where it is not desired to utilize an implement in the manner aforedescribed, the opening of the closure member may be effected by incorporating a rupturable point in the band. Thus, in Fig. 8 it will be noted that a pair of opposed ll-shaped notches 2 f have been shown, which notches, although serving to weaken the band at this point, nevertheless do not sufficiently impair the strength of the band so that an accidental loosening of the same would result. Nevertheless, a prong of a fork or a similar imple ment may be placed adjacent the base of one notch and moved so that the strip will readily rupture through to the other notch. Like wise, if desired, as in Fig. 9, the band body may be formed with an opening 25, from one end of which diverging score-lines 26 extend. Thus, by simply gripping and pulling those portions of the band which are between the score-lines the band will again be ruptured.
ltn any event, and regardless of how the band is opened, it will be noted that when once opened the fact of such opening is readily apparent to anyone glancing at the receptacle. Also, it will be impracticable for a person to endeavor to reconnect the parts with out this fact being immediately perceptible, and the closure member will in the natural course of events be detached from the receptacle, so that when the latter is returned for refilling it does not become necessary to remove this member.
From, the foregoing it is obvious that, among others, those ob]ects specifically aforementioned are accomplished, and since certain changes may be made in the above article and difl'erent embodiments of the invention could be made withoutdeparting from the scope thereof, it is intended that all matter contained in the above description or shown in the accompanying drawing shall be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limit ing sense.
ft is also to be understood that the following claims are intended to cover all of the generic and specific features of the invention herein described, and all statements of the scope of the invention which as .a matter of language might be said to fall therebetween.
