NON-REMOVABLE CLOSURE Filed July 20, 1959 \NVENTOR Harold \M Williams ATTORNEY United htates 3,925,388 NflN-REMOVABLE CLUSURE Harold W. Williams, Pawling, N.Y., assignor to Owens Illinois Glass Company, Toledo, Ohio, a corporation of (lhio Filed July 20, 1959, Ser. No. 828,100 11 Claims. (Cl. 2l541) My invention relates to closures for containers such as the small glass bottles widely used in the drug and other industries, and more particularly to a closure which may not be removed from the container without at least partially destroying the same. It may thus be termed a non-removable or tamper-proof closure.
An object of the invention is to provide an improved tamper-proof closure which can be molded from a plastic material that has characteristics long recognized as being desirable for a bottle closure for consideration other than tamper-proofness, one such commonly used material being polyethylene.
A further object is to provide such a closure which can be economically molded in one piece, and which can be easily assembled to the bottles by automatic machinery, if desired.
Another object is to provide an improved tamper-proof closure With a frangible or break-away element without an interruption in the smooth overall appearance of the closure, which element may be easily and quickly removed to aiford direct access to the contents of the bottle.
Still another object is to provide an improved closure of the above type wherein the element which is broken away to open the bottle may be used as a replacement closure such as a stopper.
Other objects and advantages of the invention will hereinafter more fully appear. In the accompanying drawings I have shown for purposes of illustration three embodiments which my invention may assume in practice.
In these drawings:
FIG. 1 is a vertical sectional view showing my improved tamper-proof closure attached to a bottle;
FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing how the top portion may be broken away to provide access to the contents of the bottle;
FIG. 3 is a sectional view showing a variation or modification;
FIG. 4 illustrates how the top part of FIG. 2 which has been broken away may be inverted and used as a stopper;
FIG. 5 is a vertical section showing a modification Where the closure consists of two pieces; and
FIG. 6 shows how the stopper of FIG. 5 may be used after having been broken away.
A glass bottle 7 has a neck 8 joined to the bottle by a rounded or sloping shoulder 9. Extending around the neck of the bottle are two circular beads Ill and 11 spaced apart so as to provide a groove 12 between them. The upper outer corners of these beads are beveled or rounded as indicated at I3 while the bottom outer corners are square for a definite reason which will soon be appreciated.
The tamper-proof closure itself in its more commonly used form is a one-piece molding of a plastic material which is fiexible or pliable especially in the thin walled sections but not particularly stretchable in the sense that rubber is thought of as being stretchable. Polyethylene has the physical properties that are desired and the closure can be molded economically and satisfactorily from this material.
The closure is in the form of a cap generally designated 14 with a hollow flexible extension or dome 15. This extension is adapted to be broken away from the cap since it is joined to the cap only by a thin section 16 which results from the V-shaped recess 17 on the inner 2 side of the top wall 18 of the cap. The extension or dome 15 may also sometimes be called a break-away element. The cylindrical side wall of the cap has a pair of internal circular grooves 19 and Zll and the square cornered internal ribs 21 and 22. The cylindrical wall has a thin extension or skirt 23 which tapers to a thin edge so that it fits very snugly against the sloping or rounded shoulder 9 when the closure is assembled with the bottle.
The closure may be readily put in place on the bottle by lining up the closure with the bottle and applying endwise pressure on the top wall 18 around the hollow extension 15. Due to the rounded corners 13 and the pliability of the cap, the internal ribs 21 and 22 will pass over and snap into place behind the beads It) and 11 on the bottle with the tapered skirt bearing tightly on the glass surface of the rounded shoulder 9. The square corners at the bottom of the beads 10 and 11 however will preclude removal if any attempt were made to pull the cap off the bottle. Furthermore if an attempt be made to pry the closure away from the bottle by a tool inserted under the edge of the cap, even if the tool can be inserted behind the first rib and groove without noticeable damage to the cap, it will necessarily approach the second rib on the cap at such an angle that the tool could not be made to enter behind the second rib so as to pry it away from the square shoulder on the upper glass bead It). Any attempt to move such a tool to a wide enough angle (with relation to the bottle) to put it into prying position under the second or upper rib of the cap will necessarily tear the thin extended side wall or skirt 23 or otherwise deform the cap 50 that it might be easily detected.
Accordingly when it is desired to obtain access to or dispense the contents of the bottle it is necessary to break away the cap extension or dome 15. This is most easily accomplished by squeezing the dome near the top wall 18 of the cap as indicated in FIG. 2 by the indent 26, so as to exert a tensile stress on the thin section 16 to break it away from the top wall of the cap along line 27. When broken in one place the dome may be easily torn away from the cap. The ability to start the break by applying tensile force to the thin section 16 in a radial direction where the top Wall of the cap is solidly held by the bottle against inward radial movement, is important in bottles of the size largely used by the drug industry. Otherwise, breaking by an outward pull or tilting action tends to flex the top wall I8. However in small bottles where only a small access opening is required, as for a hypodermic needle, the opening may be obtained by breaking away a solid plug extension with a tilting action, since due to the size, no great amount of flexing of the top Wall of the cap will occur.
FIGS. 3 and 4 illustrate a modification Where the thin frangible section 24 is set back from the mouth of the bottle and the hollow extension or dome can be used in inverted fashion as a stopper as seen in FIG. 4. In this case the flange 25 serves to stitlen somewhat the upper part of the stopper. In FIG. 4 the cap which would normally remain on the bottle has been omitted so as better to show the shape of the neck of the bottle.
FIGS. 5 and 6 show a further modification with a downwardly extending conical stopper 28 molded integrally with the breakaway section which is otherwise similar to the other forms except that it is open at the top to receive a rigid plastic insent 29. The insert 29 is interlocked with the hollow upward extension by a snap action rib and groove connection 30 in a manner well understood in the art. The stopper may be used to close the bottle after being broken away from the cap as seen in FIG. 6, and when so used it will be easier to handle and present a better appearance than the stopper in FIG.
4. The stopper also serves as an additional sealing means before it is broken away from the cap.
As a result of my invention'it will be apparent that a very satisfactory and efficient tamper-proof closure is made available at low cost for the many small bottles used in the drug and other industries.
