Abstract
A container cap for a container having a neck defining an opening into the container. The container cap comprises a lid including a top surface and a wall extending downward from the top surface. The lid is configured to engage the neck of the container and cover the opening. The lid is composed of a rigid material. A resilient gasket is integrally formed with the lid. The cap may have a wall including a threaded portion and an unthreaded portion with the gasket residing between the threaded and unthreaded portion.
Description
- The present invention relates generally to the field of a container cap for sealing a container and method, and more particularly to a cap composed of two different materials to create a seal for the container.
- It is generally known to provide a container for fluids, for example, paint. Such known containers are typically cylindrical metal containers with a cylindrical lid. The lid of such known containers fits into a cylindrical shape “chime” or rim having a u-shaped channel that frictionally receives and engages the lid. However, built-up, dried material, such as paint, in the channel formed during use may prevent a lid from being fully sealed within the channel, which may cause the leakage of the fluid in the container.
- It is also generally known to provide a plastic container for fluids, for example, paint. Such known plastic containers typically have a lid that screws onto a thread of the container. However, such known plastic containers may not form as tight a seal between the container and the lid as do such known metal containers. In such known plastic containers a seal is typically formed by providing a separate gasket placed in the lid to affect the seal. Other methods provide various nubs or projections formed in the lid to affect a seal of the container. Such methods may not form effective seals if the separate gasket is lost or broken or if the projection or nub becomes worn or breaks off during use.
- Thus, there is a need for a fluid container cap which has a resilient gasket integrally formed with the lid. There is further need for a container cap that has a resilient gasket integrally formed with the lip that will seal against a fitment mounted in the container. It would still further be desirable to provide a container system and method having one or more of these or other advantageous features.
- There is provided a container cap for a container having a neck defining an opening into the container. The container cap comprises a lid including a top surface and a wall extending downward from the top surface. The lid is configured to engage the neck of the container and cover the opening. The lid is composed of a rigid material. A resilient gasket is integrally formed with the lid. The cap may have a wall including a threaded portion and an unthreaded portion with the gasket residing between the threaded and unthreaded portion.
- There is also provided a container comprising a body defining an interior space configured to hold a fluid. The container body has a neck portion defining an opening into the body. A cap comprising a lid including a top surface and a wall extending downward from the top surface. The lid is configured to engage the neck of the body and cover the opening and composed of a rigid material. A resilient gasket is integrally formed with the lid. The wall of the cap may include a threaded portion and a unthreaded portion with the gasket residing between the threaded and unthreaded portion.

FIG. 11 is a partial, detailed sectional view of the container cap and container illustrated inFIG. 8 , with the container cap engaged with the container and illustrating an exemplary embodiment of an integral resilient gasket in contact with a fitment positioned in the opening of the container. - Referring to
FIGS. 1 and 2 , acontainer 10 for containing fluid and acap 40 are illustrated.FIG. 1 also illustrates an exemplary embodiment of atorque indicator 60.Container 10 includes abody 12 formed byvertical sidewall 14 extending between thehorizontal top portion 16 and ahorizontal base 18 defining aninterior space 13 to hold a fluid. A bail orhandle 20 is attached tocontainer 10 by a locking system or mechanism. A cover (shown as a cap or lid 40) havingthreads 46 is attached tothreads 34 of aneck 30 of body 12 (seeFIG. 9 andFIG. 10 ). A selectively removable pour spout (fitment) 38 is interference or snap fit withinneck 30 as shown inFIG. 1 andFIG. 8 for controlled pouring of a fluid, such as paint for example, fromcontainer 10. - A primary seal is formed by engagement of
threads 46 oflid 40 withthreads 34 ofneck 30. An interference fit between thelid 40 and theneck 30 is accomplished by rotating or twisting thelid 40 onto neck 30 a predetermined distance. Such seal is intended to inhibit fluid from leaking from thecontainer 10 when thelid 40 is fixed to theneck 30. An additional seal is formed by aresilient gasket 50 which is integrally formed with thelid 40 to complete the seal between thelid 40 and theneck 30 of thecontainer 10. - Referring to
FIGS. 3-7 , acontainer cap 40 serves both as a lid and a dish for material held in the container, for example, paint. Thecontainer cap 40 includes atop surface 42 and a downwardly extendingwall 44, portions of which extend from thetop 42 of thecap 40 between thefitment 38 and theneck 30 of thecontainer 10. Thecontainer cap 40 also includes an internal threadedportion 46 that threadably engagesthreads 34 formed on theneck 30 of thecontainer 10 and an unthreaded portion 48 a space distance from the threadedportion 46. Thecontainer cap 40 can be configured to receive a molded logo, a clear window to see theinterior 13 of thecontainer 10, or other indicia to identify the contents of thecontainer 10. - The
container cap 40 is formed by two or more materials, for example a rubber based, thermal plastic elastomer, polypropylene, polyvinyl chlorides, thermal plastic polyurethanes and combinations of such material, or other type of plastic or elastomer using a two-shot or bi-injection molding process. - The
wall 44 of thecontainer cap 40 is formed of a rigid material such as a polypropylene copolymer. Aresilient gasket 50 is integrally formed between the threadedportion 46 and theunthreaded portion 48 of thewall 44 of thecontainer cap 40. The formation of theresilient gasket 50 occurs during the second shot of the two-shot injection molding process. - In operation, the first shot of rigid thermal plastic material forms the
container cap 40top surface 42 and the threadedportion 46 andunthreaded portion 48 of thewall 44. A rotating core of the mold, that is typically used to form thethreads 46, is retracted half of the thread pitch by rotating the mold core 180 degrees. A pin is simultaneously retracted from the top portion of thecap 40, thereby opening a flow path for a second shot of an elastomeric material, such as a thermal plastic elastomer to be injected into the mold to form the integralresilient gasket 50 between the threadedportion 46 andunthreaded portion 48 of thewall 44 of the cap. - In one embodiment, the
gasket 50 is configured to contact thefitment 38 positioned in theopening 32 and theneck 30 of thecontainer 10. SeeFIG. 10 . - In an alternative embodiment, the
resilient gasket 50 is configured to contact thefitment 38 that is positioned in thecontainer 10 and fluidly seal theopening 32 of thecontainer 10. SeeFIG. 11 .Further gasket 50 could be configured to contact only theneck 20 and not thefitment 38. - The
container cap 40 can be configured to provide a portion of a second material to extend into recesses formed on the outer periphery of thecap 40, which may assist the user in gripping and manipulating thecap 40 on and off thecontainer 10. Various textures may be molded into the second material and different colors of the material may be employed during the molding process. - In order to assist the user of the
container 10 during the sealing of thecontainer 10 with thecontainer cap 40, atorque indicator 60 can be provided on thecontainer 10. A convenient location for thetorque indicator 60 is on the top side or horizontaltop portion 16 of thecontainer 10 as shown inFIG. 1 . It should be understood that other convenient locations for the torque indicator can be used. - The
torque indicator 60 includes a range indicator 62 and avisual indicator 68. The range indicator 62 can be molded on thecontainer 10 or it can be a decal such as a sticker, or label, or printing, affixed to thecontainer 10 by any convenient manner. Thevisual indicator 68 can be molded on thecap 40. In the illustrated embodiments, thevisual indicator 68 is molded on thecap 40 during the second shot of the two-shot injection molding process described above. - Further modifications may be made to the design, arrangement and combination of the elements without departing from the scope of the invention. For example, a top member including one or more of the features discussed above such as the spout and others may be integrally formed with the body of the container or may be fastened to the container as a separate component. Additionally, the container may include transparent areas to allow the user to see the contents of the container. Further, the container cap may include a transparent area to indicate whether the cap is securely attached to the container to prevent paint from accidentally being spilled. Although the container has been referred to as a paint container, other liquids may be stored and poured as well. Some of the features have a unique application to the storage and application of paint, other features may be used for other liquids as well. Additionally, a label that is applied to the container may include a blank white portion to permit the user of manufacturer to dab or paint a sample of the paint in the container to clearly show what color is contained within the container and how it will appear when painted on a white background. It is also noted that the features described in this specification and shown in the figures either alone or in combination may also be combined with individual or multiple features disclosed herein. These and other modifications may be made in the design, arrangement, and combination of the elements without departing from the scope of the invention as expressed in the appended claims.
