Definitions
- This invention is directed to closure caps or overseals and is principally, but not exclusively, directed towards closure caps or overseals for closure plugs for shipping containers; such as drums.
- drum closure caps or overseals serve to dress up a container such as a 55 gallon (275 litre) drum, giving the closure area a finished appearance and some added degree of cleangroovess, there is still much to be desired in terms of drum security.
- drum closure caps or overseals need to meet a number of rather demanding criteria. Obviously the hand application has to be simple and relatively effortless to satisfy normal filling groove speeds.
- plastic, manually-applied caps or overseals currently in general use for both steel and plastic drums are, for the most part, easily pried off in an undetected manner particularly when in a warmed state. In other words "easy-on easy-off ' .
- a performance criteria also of major importance is the ease with which the cap or overseal can be removed from the underlying drum closure in an authorised manner such that subsequent replacement of the overseal is not possible. Normally this requires destruction of the cap or overseal in some fashion to prevent reuse. In this regard the use of sharp cutting or puncturing implements is undesirable due to the likelihood injury or of accidental damage to the underlying closure. Thus, in addition to the overseal ' s robust construction, hand removeability is yet another advantageous attribute.
- FIGs 1 to 3 A known closure plug and overseal closure combination is illustrated Figs 1 to 3, wherein a wall 1 of a container, such as an industrial size plastic drum, has an upstanding neck 2 defining an internally threaded opening in the container wall.
- the neck 2 terminates at its upper end in an annular gasket seat 3 surrounded by an upstanding collar 4.
- annular bead 5 Located beneath the collar 4 is a peripheral annular bead 5.
- the plug has a circumferentially enlarged head 9 with a gasket retaining groove 10 and resilient sealing gasket 1 1 on the undersurface thereof.
- FIG. 3 shows at the top surface of the plug in Fig. 3, there are a series of four equally spaced wrench engaging lugs 12 which are hollowed out as indicated at 13. Also, it can be seen that the width of the lugs 12 is slightly less than the width of the gaps 14 therebetween.
- Each lug has two radially extending wrench engaging surfaces 15 and a radially inwardly facing guide surface 16.
- the base of each lug 12, where it joins the plug bottom wall 7, is radially undercut to form a locking groove 17 designed to interlockingly engage a closure cap or overseal 18.
- Cap 18 covers the plug 6. so that access to the plug, particularly to wrench engaging lugs 12, is prevented.
- the cap 18 also protects the closure plug 6 and the container neck 2 against ingress of liquid, dust or dirt.
- the cap 18 consists of an imperforate cap moulded of synthetic plastic resin having a disc-like top wall 19 surrounded by a peripheral depending skirt 22.
- a segmented collet depends from the central portion of the cap made up of a series of axially elongated leg segments 21.
- a tear strip 22 is formed in the cap and is defined by a pair of score grooves 23 extending diametrically across the top wall 19 and down the skirt 20.
- Document US-A-3, 838.785 discloses a tamper-proof cap for containers having a bead or screw-threads, comprises a flat-bottomed cap having a skirt formed with an inner bead for engagement on the neck of the container, and a capsule covering completely said cap with its bottom and outer skirt, said capsule being formed with a central disk connected by easily breakable means to the periphery of the bottom of said capsule, said disk being adapted to be resiliently retained in a central cavity of the cavity of said cap.
- Document WO-A-2005/05641 1 (AMERICAN FLANGE & MFG.
- CO INC discloses a closure combination of a closure plug for shipping containers and a tamper evident, closure overseal.
- the closure plug (6. 45) and the overseal (20, 52) having hidden, complimentary, interlocking, snap-fit features (17, 49. 23, 56, 24, 57) and a frangible, tear-strip portion (26. 53a), to permit removal of the overseal from the plug, that is visible when the closure plug and the overseal are interlocked;
- the interlocking, snap-fit features may be internal or external of the closure plug but are hidden by the overseal skirt (22, 54) and the overseal is destroyed on removal from the closure cap.
- Document EP-A-0725013 discloses a cap for a keg spear having internal teeth (13), which snap-engage over an annular projection on the spear.
- a tamper-evident ring (40) is provided on the cap skirt (12) and connected to the skirt by frangible radial tags (41 ) having point-to-point attachment to the skirt. The ring obstructs access to the skirt for levering off the cap, so that any such attempt loosens the ring by breaking the tags to provide tamper evidence.
- the ring (40) is securely fixed to a tab.
- tear strip (30,31) defined by a pair of grooves of weakness extending axially in the skirt (12) and radially across the top (11) of the cap.
- the ring (40) can be used as a handle to split the cap for removal in one piece and is securely fixed to attached to the skirt (12) by a bridge (30).
- Document GB-A-1386369 discloses a tamperproof container closure has an element A with an internal annular projection 5 which forms a skirt for sealing with a container neck.
- An element B is axially movable so that when it is pressed down the bevelled face 12 slides over the annular projection 4 thus compressing the sealing lip 5.
- the washer 17 which is integrally moulded with the top 10 rides over a central peg 6 so that the flange 7 engages on the top of edge 23 thus imprisoning the washer 17 under the flange 7.
- To open the container element R is pulsed upwards thus freeing the projection 4 for unsealing the container top and at the same time the washer 17 breaks along the rupture points (20), and falls on the top 1.
- the element B is lowered to reseal the container, a difference in level exists between the top 10 and the washer 17, thus indicating that unsealing has taken place.
- Document EP-A- 1342671 discloses a closure device (1) particularly usable for temporarily closing a container for liquids, comprising a first cap (4), which is provided with first elastically deformable elements (6) for connection to the outer neck of the container; a second coaxial and external cap (5) being slidingly and selectively associated with the first cap and comprising second elements for the temporary activation of the first elements and third elements suitable to remove the closure device from the neck of the container.
- the cap is removed from the closure by means of a tear strip extending essentially diametrically across the whole of the cap top so that, on tearing the strip, the cap is divided in, or nearly in, two.
- frangible attachment means disk 12, washer 17, disc 30 or plate 24
- these frangible attachment means are located beneath the cap top leaving a permanent central aperture in the cap and the cap unsealed.
- a cap for a container comprises: a) a cap top; b) attachment means under the cap top and securingly engageable with a given container; c) a frangible connection between the cap top and the attachment means designed, in use, to be broken upon removal or attempted removal of the cap from said container; and, d) a permanent connection provided between the cap top and the attachment means which, upon breaking of the frangible connection, retains the cap top and the attachment means relatively moveably connected together.
- a cap in accordance with the present invention differs from known prior art caps, covers or overseals by having frangible attachment means with a permanent connection that prevents the attachment means from being lost, discarded or falling into the container.
- the cap is a cap for a container closure and the attachment means has a snap-fit engagement with a feature of the container closure or a closure plug.
- the attachment means is a ring depending axially from and frangibly connected to the cap top.
- the attachment ring may be axially separated from the cap top by a series of frangible links and the permanent connection may bridge the axial separation between the cap top and the attachment ring.
- the permanent connection includes a tear-strip defined by membranous grooves of weakness in the upper surface of the cap top to leave the upper surface of the cap unbroken and essentially flat.
- a cap in accordance with this embodiment can seal a container closure or closure plug.
- Fig. 1 is a vertical cross sectional view of a prior art closure combination
- Fig. 2 is an enlarged fragmentary sectional view of the plug wrench engaging lug of the closure plug of Fig. 1
- Fig. 3 is a top plan view of the closure plug of Fig. 1 ;
- Fig. 4 is a plan of a tamper-evident cap in accordance with the invention.
- Fig. 5 is a section on the groove V-V of Fig. 4;
- Fig. 6 is a section on the groove VI-VI of Fig. 4;
- Fig. 7 is a sectional underplan of the cap of Fig. 4;
- Fig. 8 is an elevational detail illustrating the frangible and tear strip connections between the cap top and the attachment ring of the cap of Fig. 4;
- Figs 9a,b,c are perspective views showing the removal of the cap of Fig. 4 from a container neck.
- a tamper-evident cap in accordance with the present invention is illustrated by Figs 4 to 9 and consists of an imperforate cap 23 moulded of synthetic plastic resin having a disc-like top 24 surrounded by a peripheral depending skirt 25.
- An attachment ring 26 depends from the central portion of the cap top 24 and terminates at its bottom rim 27 in a radially outwardly projecting flange 28 having a radial cam surface 29.
- the attachment ring 26 is designed as a snap-fit within closure plug 6; in use cam surface 29 meets the closure plug lugs 12 and deflects/distorts the ring radially inwardly sufficiently for the ring to pass within the lugs and the ring flange 28 to snap-engage as a tight fit in the locking groove 17.
- each link 30 comprises an integrally moulded post 32 upstanding from the attachment ring top rim 33 with the upper end of each post 32 integral with and frangible from the lower surface of cap top 24.
- a tear-strip 34 extends diametrically of the central region 35 and part way across cap top 24, above and within the circle of frangible links 30, and is formed by a pair of parallel frangible membranous side grooves 36 in the cap top 24 with a further frangible membranous cross groove 37 linking grooves 36 at one end of tear strip 34.
- the permanent connection 31 links the end of the tear strip remote from cross groove 37 to the attachment ring 26.
- the frangible grooves 36 continue as a pair of parallel frangible membranous grooves 39 extending from the permanent connection 31 and part-way only down the attachment ring 26; such that this region of the attachment ring 29 forms an integral extension 30 of the tear-strip tongue 34. This integrity is due to the geometry of the cap top tear strip grooves 36, the permanent connection 31 and the attachment ring tear strip grooves 36.
- the upper surface of the cap 24 is unbroken and essentially flat, save for the membranous grooves 36, 37 and 38. This enables the cap 24 both to seal a container closure or closure plug, function as a capseal, and for text such as advertising matter, logos to be applied to or printed on the upper surface of the cap with little or no distortion.
- the cap 23 can be fitted to the closure plug 6 simply by pressing the cap down onto the closure plug; this can be achieved manually or by use of a specially shaped tool (not shown). There is no need to align the cap attachment ring with the closure plug lugs.
- cap top 24 and attachment ring 34 will remain connected together after removal from the closure plug.
- Cap skirt 26 is attached, as illustrated in Document EP-A-0725013, to the cap top 24 by a series of frangible ties 43 and includes an integral strap 45 between the skirt and the cap top; an integral tab 46 extends radially outwardly from the skirt. In use and as shown by Figs 9a,b and c, the tab is pulled upwardly to fracture the ties 43 so that the skirt 25 forms a ring handle attached by strap 45 to the cap top 24 to assist removal of the cap from the closure plug 6.
- the present invention has been illustrated with reference to caps snap-fitted to closure plugs, but it can provide a permanent connection for any cap having frangible means of attachment to a container, wherein a frangible connection can extend between the attachment means and the cap top.
