Definitions
- the wall thickness of the intermediate side wall portion can fall int he range of about 2 to about 20 mils, and that the wall thickness of both the upper and lower side wall portion can fall in the range of 25-75 mils or more. It will be recognized in any event that the thicknesses in each wall section will vary somewhat (circumferentially as well as axially) as a result of the plastic forming process, and the thicknesses here are to be regarded as average thicknesses within the specifically identified portions of the container.
- the screw thread type connection is replaced by a sliding friction fit.
- the rim is formed by a radially inwardly inclined shoulder which is joined to an upright annular rim provided with external screw threads for receiving a removable lid. This configuration allows the cap skirt to lie substantially flush with the upper side wall portion of the container when the cap is in place on the container.
- the upper side wall portion tapers upwardly and outwardly from the intermediate side wall portion, and then upwardly and inwardly to a substantially vertical annular rim provided with screw threads for receiving a cap.
- the cap skirt lies substantially flush with the radially outwardmost surface of the upper peripheral side wall portion of the container.
- the lower peripheral side wall portion may be telescoped upwardly into the upper peripheral side wall portion, with the intermediate side wall portion reverse folded therebetween Moreover, in each case, and as noted above, the relative diameters of the upper, intermediate and lower side wall portions are selected to provide adequate axial and radial space to accommodate the telescoping action without excessive friction which would otherwise tend to inhibit the movement between extended and collapsed positions, and vice versa.
- caps for the container which, as noted above, may be of the snap-on type, screw thread type, or friction fit type.
- the cap is provided with an internal skirt which serves to engage and reinforce the annular container rim to provide further insurance of cap retention.
- the present invention thus provides unique container and cap constructions which are useful for a variety of purposes. It will be appreciated that the container may be advantageously shipped, stocked, and stored between use in the collapsed condition, thus enabling efficient use of space. At the same time, the container is easily expandable to an enlarged volume, and is particularly well suited for the storage of foodstuffs (frozen or refrigerated) or other material. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
- FIGURE 2 is a perspective view of the container illustrated in Figure 1 but with a cap applied thereto;
- FIGURE 5 is a partial section view illustrating the manner of connection of the cap and container shown in Figure 2;
- FIGURE 7 is a partial cross section showing a manner of attachment between a cap and a container in accordance with another modified version of the embodiment illustrated in Figures 1-5;
- FIGURE 10 is a side section of a container in accordance with a second principal embodiment of the invention.
- FIGURE 13 is a side section of a container illustrated in Figure 12, but in the collapsed position.
- the peripheral side wall 14 in this exemplary embodiment is formed to include three axial portions including an upper portion 18, an intermediate portion 20 and a lower portion 22.
- the upper and intermediate portions 18 and 20 have generally similar axial lengths, while the lower portion 22 has a somewhat greater axial length for a reason described further below.
- An exemplary thickness for side wall portions 18 and 22 may be, for example, in the range of about 25 to 60 mil and preferably about 45 mil.
- the bottom wall 12 may be substantially thicker if desired.
- the intermediate side wall portion 20 may have a thickness between about 2 and 12 mil and preferably about 8 mil. In any event, it was also further determined that the ratio between the thickness of each of the upper and lower side wall portions to the thickness of the intermediate side wall portion should be at least 3.75 to 1 and preferably about 5 to 1.
- the upper peripheral side wall portion 18 is substantially cylindrical, i.e., of substantially constant diameter.
- the open upper end 16 of the container 10 is formed with a radially outwardly extending shoulder 28 joined to the upper edge of the upper peripheral side wall portion 18.
- the shoulder 28 joins with a substantially inverted L-shaped rim 30 comprising a substantially vertical stem portion 32 and a radial flange 34 terminating at an outer peripheral edge 36 to thereby form an annular cap or lid receiving rim.
- An associated cap 38 in this first principal embodiment includes a center disc area 40 including a peripheral, upstanding hollow rib 42, and a depending skirt 44 which has a substantially inverted U-shape.
- the skirt includes an inner annular skirt portion 46 and a radially outer annular skirt portion 48, connected by an annular, horizontal web 60.
- the outer annular skirt portion 48 terminates at an outwardly angled gripping edge 52 which may extend completely (or only partially) about the cap 38.
- the configuration of the upper peripheral side wall portion 100 leaves more than enough axial and radial space to accommodate the lower peripheral side wall portion 108 and the intermediate peripheral side wall portion 1 10 in the collapsed position.
- the intermediate and lower side wall portions 110, 108, respectively are substantially identical to the previously described embodiments.
- a container may be shipped empty from a manufacturer for filling with foodstuffs or other material at another location.
- the container may also be sold to consumers empty as a storage container for foodstuffs and/or other materials.
- the container is particularly advantageous in that it may be collapsed and efficiently stored during shipping and between use.
