Description
June 13, 1933. G. w. JARDINE COLLAPSIBLE TUBE Filed Aug. 13, I932 Georye 14 z'fardzize /I Home y Patented June 13, 1933 UNITED STATES GEORGE W. JABDINE, OF WALTHAM, MASSACHUSETTS COLLAPSIBLE TUBE Application fled August 13, 1932. Serial No. 828,747.
The present invention relates to new and useful improvements in containers of the collapsible tube type and has for its primary object to provide, in a manner as hereinafter set forth, a container of this character having a novel closure which ishingedly mounted on said container to prevent loss thereof, said closure embodying a novel construction for releasably securing the same in closed position and further including means through the medium of which the container will be sealed and leakage prevented.
Other objects of the invention are to provide a collapsible tube which will be simple in construction, strong, durable, attractive in appearance and which may be manufactured at low cost.
All of the foregoing and still further objects and advanta es of the invention will 9 become apparent rom a study of the following specification, taken in connection with theaccompanying drawing wherein like characters of reference designate corresponding parts throughout the several views, and
wherein Figure 1 is a view in top plan, showing a collapsible tube constructed in accordance with the present invention.
Figure 2 is a view in vertical section, taken substantially on the line 2-.2 of Figure 1.
Figure 3 is a view in horizontal section, taken substantially on the line 3-3 of Figure 2. I
Figure 4 is an elevational View, showing the latching means for the closure.
Figure 5 is an elevational view, showing the closure hinge.
Referring now to the drawing in detail, it will be seen that the reference numeral 1 designates the upper portion of a collapsible tube having a substantially conical shoulder 2 from which an integral neck 3 rises.
The reference numeral 4 designates a cap which is hingedly mounted, as at 5, on the neck 3. The hinge 5 is sufficiently tight to frictionally prevent idle swinging movement of the cap 4, as when said cap is in open position. The cap 4 includes a depending skirt portion 6 whlch, when the cap is in closed position, encircles the upper end portlon of the neck 3. A sealing gasket 7, of suitable resilient material, pre erably rubber or cork, is mounted in the cap 4 for engagement with the upper end of the neck 3 when said cap is in closed position.
Depending from the skirt 6 of the cap 4 is an arcuate latch 8 which is substantially U- shaped in vertical section. The latch 8 terminates, at its free end, in an outwardly projecting lip constituting a releasing handle 9 for engagement by the thumb or finger.
The neck 3 has formed therein a circumferentially extending groove 10 for the reception of the latch 8. The latch 8 is of sufficient length to positively prevent rocking of the cap 4 on the neck 3 when said latch is engaged in the groove 10. This constitutes an essential feature of the present invention. Further, the end walls of the groove 10 extend at an acute angle relative to the inner wall of said groove (see Fig. 3) and the sides of the latch 8 abut said end walls when the cap is in closed position, as best seen in Fig.
4 of the drawing, thus positively retaining the cap against lateral swinging movement on its hinge 5 when said cap 1s in closed position.
In use, the latch 8 is disengaged from the groove 10 by exerting upward pressure on the handle 9, after which the cap 4 may, of so course, be swung to open position. When the cap 4 is swung to closed position, the latch 8 rides over the upper end portion of the neck 3 and snaps into the groove 10, as will be apparent.
It is believed that the many advantages of a collapsible tube constructed in accordance with the present invention will be readily understood, and although the preferred embodiment of the invention is as illustrated 9 and described, it is to be understood that changes in the details of construction and in the combination and arrangement of parts may beresorted to which will fall within the scope of the invention as claimed.
What is claimed is A collapsible tube comprising an upstanding neck having a circumferentially extending groove therein, the end walls of the groove extending at an acute angle relative to the inner wall of said groove, a cap hingedly mounted on the neck and including a depending skirt portion, an arcuate latch of substantially U-shaped vertical section depending 5 from the skirt and engageable in the groove for securing the cap in closed position, the sides of the latch abutting the end Walls of the groove When the cap is in closed position, and a lip projecting horizontally from the free end of the latch, said lip constituting a handle.
In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.
GEORGE W. JARDINE.
