Definitions

  • the present invention relates to shipping containers and more particularly, to an improved liquid-tight shipping container, and closure construction therefor, of the type wherein both the container body and the closure members are made of paperboard, liber, or similar nonmetallic materials;
  • FIGURE l is a Verticalaxial cross-sectional'view of a shipping container embodying the features of the present invention
  • FIG. 2 is an enlarged fragmentary cross-sectional-View of the upper edge portion of the container shown in FIG. l illustrating particularly the details' of an exemplary closure construction for use with containers employingV a removable lid made of paperboard or the like
  • FIG. 3 is an enlarged fragmentary cross-sectional View similar to FIG. 2 illustratingthe lower edge or seam porton of the container shown in FIG. 1;
  • FIGS. 4 and 5 are enlarged fragmentary cross-sectional views similar to FIG. 2 of slightly modified forms of closure constructions, also embodying the features of the present invention.
  • FIG. l a shipping container 10 having a generally cylindrical container sidewall or body 11.
  • the opposite ends of the container 10 are closed by a pair of disc shaped closure members 12, 14 which are dimensioned lto be received within the ends of the container.
  • the closure members 12, 14 are respectively seated or bottomed on a pair of radially inwardly extending circumferential ribs 15', 16 formed in the container body 11.
  • the ribs 15, 16 are spaced axially inward of the respective ends of the container, thus recessing the closure members 12, 14 relative to the container ends.
  • the container body 11 and the closure members 12, 14 can be made of a widevariety of nonmetallic fibrous materials such for example, as paperboard, liber, or other natural or synthetic materials.
  • nonmetallic fibrous materials such for example, as paperboard, liber, or other natural or synthetic materials.
  • the invention will herein be descrbed in connection with a container employing components made of paperboard, it being understood that other similar materials may also be used if desired.
  • the container 10 is provided with a liner orliquid-tight coating 18 which is contiguous and coextensive with the inner surface of the container body 11, and which renders the container body impervious to the passage of liqiuds therethrough.
  • the exemplary closure member 12, or container bottom is provided with inner and outer layers 19, 20 respectively which protrude or extendbeyond the periphery of the paperboard bottom.12. The arrangement is such that when the bottoni 12 is inserted into the end of the container 10 and seated on the circumferential rib 15, .the protruding edges of the layers 19, 2t! are bent downwardly parallel to the container body 11 with the layer 19 being contiguous with the liquid-tight coating 18.
  • a metal reinforcing ring 21 which surrounds the lower end of the container body;
  • the layer 19 might simply be a thin vsheet of paper upon which is sprayed, painted or votherwise deposited, a suitable liquid-tight coating.
  • the two metallic rings 26,28 are generally U-shaped in cross-section with the ring 28 encompassing ring 26 and with the latter ring 26 dening a press ring positioned on the outer side of the lid 14 and within the upwardly projecting ends of the container body 11', coating 18, and upwardly bent portionsof layers 24, 25.
  • the ring 28 is preferably a continuous closing ring having a portion 29v adapted to be turned inwardly-however, it may take the form of a split ring having an inwardly projecting ange similar to the portion 29 and suitable clamping means (not shown) for contracting the ring.

  • the ring 28 is provided with 'a downwardly extending portion 30 which surrounds the upper end of the container 10.
  • the ring 28 with its radial and axial extensions 2 9, 30 serves to reinforce thel upper end ofthe containenthereby protecting the container end from damage'due to-rough handling or the Referring'to FIG. 4, there is illustrated a slightly modiiedform of closure assembly which is somewhat similar in construction ⁇ to the arrangement described aboveand also embodying the present invention.
  • oneo'r more circumferential, radially projecting, annular'ribs 32y are formed in the lweb of the press-ring 26.
  • Such ribs tend 'to' be pressedinto the con- ⁇ tainerbody-when ⁇ .the ring 2S is'k contracted, thereby establishing ahigher specic pressure atleast over a narrow contact surface between the container body and the closure components.
