Definitions

  • the invention relates generally to a container and, more particularly, to a container of tube-like -construction adapted for carrying liquids such as fruit juice or the like.
  • the containers of the prior art are disadvantageous in that a load transverse to the longitudinal axis of the container causes, frequently, a bulging or buckling of the top or the bottom closure member, or both. Su-ch conditions occur when, for example, the containers are stacked in an unskilled manner, or when the rsame are accidentally dropped. Such deformation, particularly of the top cover, gives the closure members an objectionable appearance which hinders the sale of the container even though, under some circumstances, the closure member may not have been damaged.
  • Another, and more specific, aspect of this invention relates to a stifened closure member in which the main surface thereof is calotte shaped in a direction away from the container, so that even excess pressure within the container can be more readily absorbed by the closure member (s)
  • the calotteshaped surface of the closure member(s) is Varranged tangent to an imaginary plane which extends across the peripheral edges of the member(s) It is therefore the primary object of this invention to provide a container adapted for liquids in which the bottom and/or top closure member is stil-tened and reinforced by corrugations to increase the strength of the container and to avoid deformation of such member(s).
  • FIGURE 1 is a top view of the container in laccordance with the invention.
  • FIGURE 2 illustrates a longitudinal section of the container taken along line 2-2 of FIGURE l.
  • FIG- URES l and 2 there is shown in FIG- URES l and 2 a tubular container body 1 having a crosssection which is substantially square and is composed of cardboard, heavy paper, or fibrous material which may be coated with thermoplastic material and/or lined with a metal foil.
  • the end openings of the container body 1 are closed by a top and a bottom closure member 2 and 3 respectively.
  • Each closure member has a central portion 7, respectively 11, surrounded by a peripheral rim 4 of U-shaped configuration which fits snugly onto the terminal end 5 of the container body 1.
  • the rim portion 4 is of the countersink type and is secured to body 1 -by adhesive means or thermoplastic bonding material utilizing, simultaneously, pressure and heat as is the conventional practice.
  • the prime object here being to fuse, or otherwise secure, the closure members to the body 1 to insure fluid-tight integrity of the container.
  • the closure members 2, 3 are composed of a metal foil, preferably, a suitably thermoplastically coated aluminum foil of the type that is deep drawn.
  • Each closure member 2, 3 is provided with a plurality of discrete corrugations 6, each thereof extending in circular arc-like form around one corner of the square-like closure member 2, 3.
  • the corrugations are arranged symmetrically in sets of three, each corrugation concentric to the other, with the common central axis being located proximate to the corner point which each yset faces. Consequently, in view of the foregoing, each closure member 2, 3 has four sets of discrete corrugations and in the center of the closure member, between the sets of corrugations, there is arranged a single, continuous, substantially diamond-shaped, corrugation 6a.
  • Each circular arc which forms the diamond is concentrically arranged relative to one of the sets of corrugations 6.
  • stiffening corrugations ⁇ 6 and 6a are of semi-circular cross-section and are fabricated into the closure member 2, 3 during the deep-drawing process used ⁇ for making such member.
  • the bottom closure member 3 differs from the top closure member 2 in that the main surface 11 of member 3 is calotte-like shaped while surface 7 is generally flat.
  • Such calotte or cap-shape configuration increases the strength of the container and Imakes it possible to absorb excess pressure that may be generated therein.
  • the surface 11 of the closure member 3 is outwardly curved in such a manner that the same lies tangent to an imaginary plane across the upper end of rim 4 of this member.
  • the corrugated closure member 2, 3, of the type described serves Anot only to increase the volume of the container, but also makes it possible to obtain a chanening and reinforcement effect of the material used for making the closure member 2, 3 by means of coldworking.
  • a container comprising: a tube-like ⁇ body of substantially rectangular cross-section composed of paperlike material; a top and a bottom closure member of metal foil, said top member being secured to one end and the bottom member to the other end of said tubelike body; the metal foil of at least one of said closure members having impressed thereinto a plurality of dislcrete, corrugations of circular, arc-like coniiguration with two or more of said corrugations being arranged about different centers of curvature each located adjacent a corner of the said closure member.
  • a container according to claim 2 wherein said calotte-shaped member is arranged tangent to an imaginary plane across the axial periphery of said member.
  • a container according to claim 1 and a closed continuous corrugation located proximate to the center of the closure member and symmetrically relative to said discrete corrugations.
  • a container according to claim 4, wherein Said last mentioned corrugation is diamond-shaped.
  • a container having a tube-like body of substantially rectangular cross-section and a top and bottom closure member of metal foil secured to said body; at least one of said closure members having impressed into said metal foil a plurality of corrugations of circular arc-like configuration; the majority of said corrugations being discrete and concave toward a corner of the rectangular closure member; said discrete corrugations being arranged in sets with each set comprising a plurality of corrugations and each corrugation of the set Abeing disposed concentric to each other with the center of curvature of the set or arc-like corrugations being 1ocated proximate to that corner of the closure member adjacent to each set.
