Definitions

  • This invention relates to a fastening device, specifically a clip, for releasably securing together a plurality of peripherally beaded cans to form a single package; and the package formed by use of this clip.
  • This multiple can packaging has been achieved in the past by the use of a paper or plastic overwrap whiizh envelops a plurality of cans to form a multiple unit package.
  • This invention provides a molded plastic clip of unique configuration which avoids the disadvantages of the prior clips and can compete in the market place with the plastic and paper overwrap.
  • This invention provides a clip which is simply and easily removed from the individual cans by a slight lifting force on a portion of the clip.
  • the clip of the present invention is reusable such that the empty cans can be reattached to the clip for disposal of the empty cans
  • FIGURE 1 is a perspective view of the clip, made according to the present invention, attached to six cans to form a multiple unit package;
  • FIGURE 2 is a top plan view of one half of the clip

  • FIGURE 13 is a top plan view of a modified form 01 clip for attaching together two cans.
  • FIGURE 14 is a top plan view of a second modified form of clip for attaching together three cans.
  • the present invention is directed to a plastic clip for forming a multiple can package from upright cans having a bead (rim or chime) projecting outwardly and upwardly from at least one end of each can.
  • the clip includes a body of plastic having a plurality of downwardly extending hook-shaped teeth with at least one of the teeth engaged with the underside of the head on each can.
  • the clip has a plurality of peripherally disposed extensions from the body with one extension positioned outside each of the teeth.
  • a downwardly directed shoulder is integral with the underside of each extension and is engaged with the inside of the head on each can opposite the engagement area of the tooth.
  • Each of the extensions is preferably connected to the body of the plastic clip by connectors which are fixed at each end of the extension and extend to the body of plastic.
  • Each extension is spaced from the body of plastic along its length to provide a continuous opening immediately above each tooth of the clip.
  • the connectors provide pivot axes for bending the extension and its integral shoulder away from the engaged head to release the can from the clip. Subsequently, the extension and shoulder may be pivoted downwardly to connect an empty can to the clip for disposal of the empty cans.
  • each tooth on the clip has a long inclined lower surface for directing the can bead to a position between the tooth and the shoulder on the extension.
  • This aspect of my invention is particularly important for insuring accurate eflicient high-speed clipping of the cans together as described in my prior US. patent application Ser. No. 279,341, filed Apr. 3, 1963.
  • Each tooth is arcuate to conform with the shape of the can bead When used with conventional cylindrical cans, and preferably each tooth has an arcuate length between 30 and of the arcuate length of the bead (i.e. normally 360).
  • the preferred embodiment has a tooth having an arcuate length of about 45.
  • the arcuate length of the shoulder on the clip extension preferably is at least equal to the arcuate length of the tooth and ideally is at least 5 to 10 longer at each end than the tooth. To insure maximum clip holding power, the shoulder extends to a point on the bead at about the location where the bead abuts a head on an adjacent can.
  • Clips made according to this invention are particularly unique in providing a structure which will quickly release the clipped can from the package with minimum effort by the user.
  • the clip is also uniquely constructed to minimize the stressing of the plastic in the clips during attachment to the cans. Stressing of the plastic results in a weakening of the holding power of the clip.
  • FIGURE 1 interlocking six symmetrically arranged, tangentially abutting conventional tin cans. It should be noted that one- 7 half the clip shown in FIGURE 1 can be used for forming four symmetrically arranged, tangentially abutting tin cans into a multiple unit package and the modifications shown in FIGURES 13, and 14 form two and three can packages, by using the basic clip construction shown in FIGURES 1-12.
  • the clip is a multiple segment unit having a first clip segment 15 and a second clip segment 16.
  • the clip segments are integrally joined by a collar 17 which connects the facing ends to the segments.
  • the first and second clip segments are identical in structure and only one will be described herein.
  • the segment consists of a base, body or central planar portion 18, the upper surface of which is the reference plane for subsequent structural description herein.
  • the planar portion 18 is proided with an integral, downwardly extending wall 19 which is generally circular in form as well as being an nularly continuous to provide a finger hole 20 for grasping and holding the multiple can package.
  • the planar portion 18 is proided with an integral, downwardly extending wall 19 which is generally circular in form as well as being an nularly continuous to provide a finger hole 20 for grasping and holding the multiple can package.
  • integral clip unit of FIGURE 1 is provided with two apertures 20, one in each of the clip segments, so that the users hand can span the distance between the apertures 20 and the fingers can be inserted in apertures 20 for gripping the multiple cam package.
  • the wall 19 extends downwardly from the planar portion '18 of the clip to provide rigidity in the central portion of the 'clip segment and to provide a comfortable gripping surface for the fingers of the 'purchasers hand.
  • Semi-arcuate depressions 21 may be provided at opposed points in the wall 19 and are useful as guide cavities for automatic packaging of the cans as described in my previously cited patent applications.
  • Each segment further comprises quadrantally arranged radial portions 22.
  • Each radial portion is identical in construction and includes a continuous downwardly directed tooth 23 integral with the underside of the clip'in planar portion 18.
  • Each tooth 23 is arcuately shaped as previ ouslydescribed and includes a wall portion 24 and an outwardly extending tooth portion 25.
  • the 'outer end 26 of the tooth portion 25 is blunted in an arcuate vertical plane to engage the side of the :can along the arcuate length of the tooth.
  • the .top surface .27 is inclined downwardly and inwardly toward the clip body at an angle between 5 and 45 from the horizontal, with apreferred angle between 2035 and ideally between 25 30.
  • the juncture of end 26 and surface 27 is pointed at 28 .to engage the rim .or bead of the can at itsjuncture line with the side-wall of thecan.
  • the outside face .29 of wall 24 is preferably sloped upward and inward toward the clip body at an angle between 5 15 and preferably between 810 from the vertical.
  • the lower face of tooth 23 is blunted at 30 and merges with a continuous outer sloped face 31 which is sloped upwardly and outwardly at an angle between 15-60 and preferably. about from the vertical.
  • Each tooth 23, located on the outer ends of the clip, has a pair of spaced tooth extensions 32.
  • Each tooth on the inside of the'clip, adjacent connector 17, has a single tooth extension 32. It is desirable not to provide similar tooth extensions on the teeth immediately adjacent the connector 17 since the users fingers will experience discomfort upon engaging any projections in this area when the package is grasped as previosuly described; however, it is within the scope of this invention to provide identical teeth and extensions at all portions of the clip.
  • Each tooth extension 32 is an integral part of a tooth 23 and extends a substantial distance below the lower face 30 of the tooth.
  • the lower end of the extension 32 is preferably blunted at 33 and has an upwardly and outwardly sloping front face 34, which is preferably sloped between '45 and 75 "from the horizontal, with an ideal 34 of the tooth extension minimizes the criticality of the placement of the can beads or rims beneath the clip preparatory to attaching the clip to the cans as described in my prior cited patent applications.
  • the surface 34 is engaged by the can bead as the clip moves toward the can, and the surface 34 directs the can bead toward the right in FIGURE 7 into engagement with portions of the clip to be described hereinafter.
  • the area immediately above the tooth 23 is open so that no portion of the plastic clip is hooked over the top of the can bead or rim in the area immediately above the tooth.
  • This structure permits greater flexibility of the tooth 23 to permit flexure of the structure about its juncture point between the wall 24 and the planar portion 18 of the clip.
  • this tooth-like structure In attaching the clip to the rim or bead of the can, it is necessary for this tooth-like structure to flex toward the left in FIGURE 7 to admit the can bead or rim into a clipping area or cavity 35 formed between the tooth and an adjacent wall to be described hereinafter.
  • Each clip extension includes an outer portion 36, which forms a substantially planar extension of the planar portion 18 of the body of the clip, and includes an integral, downwardly directed, outer peripheral wall 37.
  • the wall 37 is uniformly spaced along its length from the tooth 23 to form the clipping cavity 35 therebetween.
  • the inside'face of the wall 37, generally designated 38, is sloped downwardly andinwardly at an angle between about 3- 10 from the vertical and away from the tooth 23 with a preferred angle of slope of about 5.
  • the lower end of the face 38 joins a bottom face 39 sloping downwardly and outwardly at an angle between about 15 and 60, with a preferred angle between about 40 and 50, and an ideal angle at about 45 from the vertical.
  • the line of juncture between the face 38 and face 39, generally designated 40, is slightly above and almost opposite the point 28 formed by the juncture of the faces 26 and 27 of the tooth 23.
  • the distance between the point 28 and point 40 is less than the radial width of the rim or head of the can, thus necessitating a spreading of these two points to permit the rim or beadto enter the clipping cavity 35 formed by the surfaces 27, 29 and 38.
  • the surface 39 is slanted to permit the can head or rim, which engages this surface during the attachment of the clip to the can, to direct the head or rim toward the opening between points 28 and 40 and into the clipping cavity 35.
  • the surfaces 34 and 39 cooperate to .properly direct the head into the cavity 35.
  • 'T he wall 37 is .arcuately shaped to conform with the inside surface of the head or rim of the can and extends along an arcuate length as described hereinbefore. .It is desirable that the wall .37 have a length at least equal to the arcuate length of the :tooth structure 23 and ideally .is at least 5 to 10 longer at each end than the tooth.
  • the outer portion 36 is connected to the body of the clip by connectors 41 bridging the space between the outer portion 36 and the body 18. These connectors are located outside the ends ofeach tooth 23 so that a continuous opening is provided above the entire length of the tooth 23. These connectors 41, which are located at the point where the clip segment joins the segment connector 17, are inherently part of the segment connector "17 as shown in FIGURE 2. Howeveneven in this instance the connectors 41 operate in the manner to be described hereinafter.
  • An outwardly extending tab42 is integrallyjoined at about the midpoint of each outer portion 36 and extends outwardly therefrom and includes reinforcing gusset plates 43 molded between the tab42 and the wall 37 as shown .in FIGURE 9.
  • the tabs 42 are located above the top surface of the can when the clips are joined to the bead or rim of the can as shown in FIGURE 9 and permit the user to insert a finger between the tab 42 and the top end wall of the can to pivot the tab, wall 36 and wall "37 upwardly as shown in FIGURE 12, thereby swinging the wall 37 out of engagement with the inside surface of the rim or bead of the .can to release the can from the clip.
  • the pivot points for wall 37 are the connectors-42 so that there is little or no resistance to the bending movement of the outer wall 37 in releasing the cam from the clip. It should also be noted that the connectors 42 do not break upon bending them upwardly (see FIGURE 12) and therefore after the can is emptied, its rim or head may be reinserted into the clipping cavity 35 and the tab 42 grapsed by the user to pivot the wall 37 downwardly into position to rejoin the can to the clip for disposal.
  • FIGURE 13 shows a modified form of my clip for connecting together two tangentially abutting can rims or beads.
  • This clip is substantially identical in construction with the clip hereinbefore described so far as the manner in which it is attached to the bead or rim and the rim engaging portions are joined by a continuous wall 46 which bridges the area between the cans immediately adjacent the point at which the cans abut.
  • FIGURE 14 shows a second modified form of my clip for connecting the rims or beads of three tangentially abutting cans.
  • the structure and function of this clip in snapping on the rim or beads of the cans is identical to that hereinbefore described and the clip has a flat upper surface 47 which bridges the area between the abutting cans.
