FIG. 1 shows a large-mouth childresistant container 20 comprising abody 22 and aclosure 24. Theclosure 24 is a screw-on closure which may be screwed on and off by rotation about a centrallongitudinal axis 500 shared by the closure and body when the closure is installed. Theexemplary body 22 comprises asidewall 26 extending upward from abase 28. The sidewall has a taperedupper portion 30 transitioning to a shoulder 32 (FIG. 6 ). An externally threaded neck 34 (having external thread 35) extends upward from the shoulder to arim 36. The rim circumscribes anopen mouth 40. -
FIGS. 7-11 show theclosure 24. The closure comprises an internally threaded inner sidewall 50 (FIG. 10A ) extending upward from alower rim 52 and having a radially inboard surface 54 (bearing the internal thread 55) and an opposite radiallyoutboard surface 56. The closure further comprises anouter sidewall 60 extending from alower rim 62 and having respective inboard andoutboard surfaces top web 70 spans the inner sidewall to enclose the container when the closure is installed.FIG. 10 shows thetop web 70 as having acentral portion 72 vertically recessed relative to anouter portion 74 and connected thereto via an angledcircumferential wall 76. A plurality of vertical/radial ribs orwebs 78 span between thecentral portion 72 andcircumferential wall 76 to rigidify the circumferential wall. This rigidification plus other rigidifications discussed below help ultimately rigidify the threadedinner wall 50 against being pulled off.FIG. 9 also shows a vertical/radial web 79 between the inner sidewall and the outer sidewall (see also,FIG. 8 ). In the exemplary embodiment ofFIG. 8 , thesewebs 79 are evenly circumferentially spaced with the exception of one missing web adjacent thelatching feature 80. - As is discussed further below, the outer sidewall bears child-resistant features for cooperating with complementary features of the container body. The
FIG. 8 underside view shows a child-resistant latching feature 80 extending radially inward from theinboard surface 64 of theouter sidewall 60. In the exemplary embodiment, this is formed as an inward diversion of theouter sidewall 60 associated with a complementary recess 81 (FIG. 7 ) in theoutboard surface 66 of the outer sidewall. - The complementary feature of the body is a lug 90 (
FIG. 11 ). Theexemplary lug 90 extends upward from an upper surface of theshoulder 32 and radially outward from an outboard surface of alower portion 33 of the neck below theexternal thread 35. As with thefeature 80, theexemplary feature 90 is formed as a protrusion associated with a complementary internal recess to maintain a generally constant wall thickness. This, for example, may be an artifact of injection blow molding or other blow molding process forming the features. Each of thefeatures surface surface feature 80 is rotated past thefeature 90. A ramping action radially outwardly deforms theouter sidewall 60 at thefeature 80 locally. Upon further rotation, eventually the ramping surfaces will pass out of engagement (e.g., when respective apexes 86, 96 pass each other). At this point, the outer sidewall will snap back radially to a relaxed condition. - Once the closure is fully installed, an unscrewing rotation will tend to bring the stop surfaces 84 and 94 into contact with each other. The stop surfaces are oriented generally vertically and slightly circumferentially off-radial (e.g., at least 10° or an exemplary 10° to 25° or 10° to 20° or about 15°) in a direction that resists their overriding each other in attempted unscrewing. Thus, further unscrewing torque will tend to drive the outer sidewall locally inward to maintain engagement between the
features - To facilitate unscrewing rotation, the user must locally outwardly deform the closure body
outer sidewall 60 at thefeature 80 so as to shift it sufficiently radially outward to override thefeature 90. This is done by the provision of a pair of finger actuatable tabs (radial outward projections) 120 and 122 (FIG. 7 ) on two opposite circumferential sides of thefeature 80. The tabs have circumferentiallyoutboard surfaces FIG. 7 shows aradial web 83 protruding radially outward along an arc between the tabs. The addition of the web increases required squeezing force to allow the outward shift of thefeature 80. This exemplary web extends outward across therecess 81. An exemplary web protrudes by at least about 0.05 inch (e.g., 0.05 inch to 0.15 inch) along the intact portions of the sidewall (away from the recess 81). The amount of protrusion may circumferentially vary. As show, a much greater radial extent is shown at therecess 81. - An additional feature which may be implemented independently of the child-resistant features is a ventilation feature. The exemplary ventilation feature vents the container interior even when the closure is fully screwed on. This may be relevant when the particular contents of the container have a tendency to outgas or react and produce gas that must be vented to avoid pressurizing the container. The exemplary pressure relief features comprises a plurality of ramps 200 (four shown in
FIG. 13 ) on the underside of the closuretop web 70 at a radial position at least partially overlapping the rim of the container body. Theexemplary ramps 200 have afirst surface 202 and asecond surface 204 as well as anID surface 206 and anOD surface 208. Thefirst surface 202 is at a pitch corresponding to the thread pitch. This allows the ramps to be released from a mold portion that molds the interior of the closure including the threads. The closure is simply unscrewed from this mold portion. - The container may be made using otherwise conventional or yet-developed materials and techniques. Exemplary closure manufacture is by injection molding and body manufacture by blow molding. Exemplary closure material is polypropylene. Exemplary body material is high density polyethylene (HDPE).
- One variation on conventional techniques involves using a thread of greater than standard depth DT (
FIG. 10A ) on both neck and closure. The greater radial engagement between the two threads allows positive retention of the closure while allowing the closure to be light and inexpensive to manufacture. Exemplary depth with an approximately 3 inch mouth diameter is in excess of 0.060 inch or in excess of 0.070 inch and up to about 0.100 inch or 0.09 inch with an example of 0.70 inch to 0.80 inch or 0.76 inch. This may be contrasted with a standard thread of 0.046 inch. The extra depth is provided by making the angle of the non-bearing face of the thread closer to radial. This depth is about 50% greater (e.g., at least 30% or 30% to 60% greater) than the SP-400 Voluntary Standard SP400, International Society of Beverage Technologists drawing 1165379-1 1999 Mar. 10, the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference herein as if set forth at length. - The use of “first”, “second”, and the like in the description and following claims is for differentiation within the claim only and does not necessarily indicate relative or absolute importance or temporal order. Similarly, the identification in a claim of one element as “first” (or the like) does not preclude such “first” element from identifying an element that is referred to as “second” (or the like) in another claim or in the description.
- Where a measure is given in English units followed by a parenthetical containing SI or other units, the parenthetical's units are a conversion and should not imply a degree of precision not found in the English units.
- One or more embodiments have been described. Nevertheless, it will be understood that various modifications may be made. For example, when applied to an existing basic system, details of such configuration or its associated use may influence details of particular implementations. Accordingly, other embodiments are within the scope of the following claims.
