Definitions
- ABSTRACT A plastic, disposable cup and lid including an easily broken seal consisting primarily of a narrow band of sealant such as paraffin which extends circumferentially about the mouth of the cup disposed between the mating regions of the cup and lip.
- the sealing band is applied in a thin film to the inner periphery of the cup or to the mating portion of the lid so that when they are assembled the paraffin band will be compressed slightly between and in intimate sealing contact with the mating surfaces of the cup and lid. This provides an effective seal, yet permits the lid to be removed with minimal effort.
- paper or plastic as the container material.
- One of the important considerations is the material to be packaged. For example, when packaging some drinks in paper cups the drinks may acquire a "paper taste which, of course, is undesirable. This may be true particularly if the drink is to be stored in the paper container for a length of time before consumption. In these instances, a plastic cup is preferable in that no adverse taste develops. Many other situations may arise in which plastic is preferred over paper as the container material.
- ease of removal may be a critical factor.
- the seal when the containers are filled with milk for distribution to children in school cafeterias, the seal must be capable of being broken easily by a small child. It also must be effective to seal the cup and lid before use. The seal should preclude any liquid from passing between the cup and lid as well as retarding evaporation of moisture through the seal. It is among the primary object of my invention to provide a container and lid having an integral seal which satisfies the foregoing requirements.
- the invention includes a container such as a conventional plastic cup, which may include a lid seat formed integrally about the inner wall of the container in proximity to the mouth of the container.
- the lid seat normally serves to limit the depth to which the lid may be pressed into the container.
- the mouth of the container terminates in a generally upstanding lip wall extending upwardly from the outer periphery of the lid seat.
- the region at the junction of the lid seat and lip wall defines a continuous circumferential corner.
- the lid seat, lip wall and corner region is coated with a thin, paraffin film or other suitable sealant material which is compatible with the material to be packaged.
- the paraffin film is sandwiched therebetween and contacts intimately the mating surfaces to effect the desired seal.
- the seal precludes leakage yet presents little resistance to removal of the lid.
- the tolerances between the lid and mouth of the container need not be controlled closely and, preferably, are somewhat slack.
- FIG. 1 is a partly broken-away illustration of a combined container and lid sealed in accordance with the invention
- FIG. 2 is an enlarged sectional view of the mating region between the container and lid shown in FIG. I;
- FIG. 3 is an illustration similar to FIG. 2 showing a modified configuration for the container and lid.
- FIG. I shows the invention as used in a conventional plastic cup 10 having a bottom wall 12 and upwardly extending cup wall 14, which terminates at the mouth 16 of the container.
- the cup may include a lid seat I8 formed integrally with the cup wall 14 and an integral upwardly extending lip wall 20, which terminates in a curled rim 22 at the upper edge of the container defining the mouth 16.
- Disposable cups of the character described may be fabricated from any number of plastic materials, such as polystyrene, which is formable easily to the desired shape for example, by a vacuum molding or other conventional process.
- FIGS. 1 and 2 show one of the more common ar rangements in which the lid seat 18 is formed about the inner periphery of the cup just below the rim .22.
- the lid 24 may include a base portion 26, integral inner peripheral wall 28, circumferential flange portion 30 and depending skirt 32.
- the inner wall 28, circumferential flange 30, and skirt 32 define an annular recess 34 which passes over and about the curled rim 22 of the cup 10.
- the skirt 32 facilitates gripping of the lid 24 during removal.
- the lid seat 18 limits the depth to which the lid 24 may be inserted into the mouth of the cup 10. The lid bears against the lid seat 18 to enhance the seal between the lid and cup.
- my invention is intended to overcome the foregoing difficulties simply by providing a film of wax or paraffin in a band about the inner surface of the cup in proximity to its mouth and in a substantial portion of the mating region between the cup and lid.
- the wax band 36 extends continuously about the mouth and is located along the lid seat l8, lip wall 20, and comer region 38 at the juncture of the lip wall and lid seat.
- the wax film may be only a few thousandths of an inch thick, but it should be noted that the thickness may be varied considerably depending on the dimensions of the cup and lid. It is important, however, that when the lid is inserted into the cup it will bear against the wax band.
- the mating surfaces of the lid and cup are sealed by the wax, which is sandwiched into intimate surface contact when the lid and cup are pressed together.
- the wax tends to flow as a result of the capping force, it should be noted that the effectiveness of the seal results primarily from the intimate and continuous contact of the wax with the mating surfaces of the cup and lid.
- My invention permits the manufacturing tolerances of such cups and lids to be relaxed.
- the mating parts and surfaces need not be fabricated with a high degree of dimensional precision to achieve the previously required interference fit. Obviously, this results in manufacturing economies.
- the paraffin band may be deposited either on the mating surface of the cup or on the mating surface of the lid before they are assembled. It is important that the band is located so that when the cup and lid are mated the band will be interposed along a substantial portion of the interface between the mating parts.
- H0. 3 shows my invention as employed in a cup having a modified mouth which receives a lid 24 in an undercut lid seat.
- This cup includes a conventional nesting ring 40 formed about the inner periphery of the mouth above the lid seat 18' to define an opening of reduced diameter, which presents a restriction to insertion of the lid 24 into the mouth of the cup.
- the lid 24 is similar to the lid 24 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, except that the periphery of its base portions 26' defines an enlarged flange 42 which is greater in diameter than the diameter of the ring 40.
- the lid 24' is aligned with the mouth of the cup and then is pressed into the mouth with the enlarged flange 42 and ring 40 deforming resiliently to enable the enlarged flange 42 to be forced past the ring and into the circumferential groove 44, defined by the ring 40 and the lid seat 18.
- the ring 40 then bears against the inner wall 28' of the lid 24 and locks the lid in place. Because the enlarged flange 42 must be forced past the ring 40, it is preferred, in this embodiment, not to deposit the wax band on the lid to avoid the band from being scraped off as the lid and cup are mated. Instead, it is preferred to deposit the wax band on the lid seat 18' and lip wall 20' of the cup. The wax band cooperates with the mated cup in the same manner as defined above.
- the invention has been described as employed with a conventional cup having a lid seat or nesting ring, it may be practiced with a variety of disposable plastic containers which may or may not have con ventional seats or nesting rings. It is essential, however, in 4 practicing the invention that the wax band be arranged to engage substantial portions of the mating surfaces of the container and lid sufficient to the effect the desired, easily broken seal.
- the invention may be practiced with such containers if desired. Separation of the container and lid is simplified by the presence of the wax film interposed between the mating surfaces.
- a container sealed in accordance with the invention results in greatly increased shelf life of a liquid or similar product having a water or other volatile component.
- the seal is highly resistant to the vapor of such water or volatile component. This retards spoilage of the product through evaporation and now has been found to at least double the conventional shelf life of some products.
- a plastic container having a mouth receptive to a lid engageable with the internal surface of said container in proximity to the mouth thereof said container including a cup wall and a lid seat formed integrally with said cup wall in proximity to the mouth of said container, said container further including a lip wall formed integrally with said lid seat and extending upwardly therefrom said lid including a base portion, an integral inner wall of a configuration corresponding to that of said lid seat and said lip wall of said container and means for effecting an easily broken seal between said container and said lid comprising;
- a film of paraffin extending, in a substantially continuous band, along the lid seat and said lip wall, said band being adapted to be interposed between corresponding mating regions of said lid and said lid seat and lip wall.
- said lid having an enlarged flange formed about the periphery of its base portion, said flange being of greater diameter than said ring on said container;
