Definitions
- ABSTRACT A container and lid construction.
- the lid has series of depending flange elements with locking members extending therethrough in locking engagement with an annular stiffening flange along the open top of the container.
- the locking members are connected by an adjustably tensioned belt which pulls 3 Claims, 6 Drawing Figures I8 I] 4kg? PAIENIEBFEB 15 m2 INVENTOR ANTHONY J.
- This invention relates to containers having a top closure formed from a compliant material, and more particularly to the combination of an open top container body having an annular stiffening flange at the top thereof with a container closure having a compliantannular flange with spaced flangetightening members extending downward therefrom, and cooperating with stiffener-flange-engaging members.
- the latter are supported by the flange-tightening members and have tension placed thereon by an endless flexible strand.
- the flange-tightening members have a camming action with respect to the stiffener to cause the top closure to have firm engagement with the stiffener flange.
- the invention herein is directed to a combination of a container body and a top closure having compliant flange elements through which container body flange-engaging elements extend, the latter being maintained in the depending flange elements by a locking collar and by a tensioning strap.
- FIG. 1 is a front elevational view of a container and lid constructed according to the present invention
- FIG. 2 is an exploded front elevational view thereof
- FIG. 3 is a vertical section to an enlarged scale taken through a portion of the lid
- FIG. 4 is a view similar to FIG. 3 showing the deformation undergone by the container top closure when the same is tightened to the container body;
- FIG. 5 is an exploded perspective view showing the manner of assembling the flange-tightening structure.
- FIG. 6 is a perspective view showing details of the flange-engaging member and an endless tensioning strand.
- the improved container and lid construction according to the present invention is denoted by the reference numeral 10, and includes a cylindrical container body 11 having a base 12 and an annular stiffening rim 13 at the open top thereof.
- a top closure 14 is adapted to be fitted to the container body 11 and has a depending annular flange 16.
- a plurality of spaced flange-tightening members 17 depend from the annular flange l6, and each has an aperture 18 therein.
- the spaced flange-tightening members 17 have spaces 19 therebetween.
- a strap 21 is adapted to pass through strap loops 22, each such strap loop 22 being formed integrally with a stiffenerflangeengaging member 23.
- Each of such members 17 has an inward extending tang 24 with an upper surface 26 and a wedging surface 27, each such tang 24 extending through the aperture 18 and inward against the underside of the stiffening flange 13 of the container body 11.
- each is provided with a locking collar 28.
- the inward extending tangs 24 have the upper surface 26 thereof in engagement with the underside of the annular stiffening flange 13.
- the spaced flange-tightening members are deformed as seen in FIG. 4, so that flange 13 is tightly engaged by the top closure 14.
- a buckle 29 is provided for holding the strap 21 in the locked position.
- a gasket (not shown) may be interposed between the top closure 14 and the stiffener flange l3, and the structure thus far described is adapted to deform such gasket to make a leakproof seal.
- each flange-tightening member 17 has a degree of hinge action with respect to annular flange 16. By reason of the configuration of each tang 24, the latter may rock about a line connecting surfaces 26 and 27 thereof, this occuring when the strap 21 is tightened.
- the hinge effect of member 17 with respect to flange l6 enables each member 17 to be constrained inwardly toward body 11, and tang 24 to provide a closing pressure between closure 14 and flange 13
- each of said flange-tightening members has an aperture therein to receive a flange-engaging member.
