Abstract:
The invention is a plastic container and resealable plastic lid interlock which provide centering and positive sealing of the lid with respect to the container as well as sufficient structural support to allow the container and lid to be processed on existing filling, labeling, and packaging equipment. The invention provides a double interlock, a prying flange for foolproof container opening, positive line contact sealing insured by the double interlock and a stackproof shear resistant lip.
Abstract:
A drawn and ironed container with a profiled bottom wall is disclosed herein. The profiled bottom wall includes an ellipsoidal dome surrounded by a substantially vertical wall portion which merges with the side wall of the container along an outwardly directed bead. The configuration of the bottom wall substantially increases the resistance to buckling when the container is filled with pressurized product.
Abstract:
Two symmetrical, axially separable barrel halves of plastic material are provided at their confronting end faces with peripheral edge beads each forming a set of axially projecting teeth alternating with gaps of like width, the teeth of each half fitting into the gaps of the other. The free ends of the teeth are provided with radially extending bosses forming two annular crenelations separated by a substantially flat ring zone upon the interfitting of the teeth, this zone receiving a broad strap inserted between the two crenelations to hold the barrel halves together. The peripheral edge beads are further provided, radially inwardly of the teeth and gaps, with axially extending tenons and mortises or equivalent tongue-and-groove formations to provide a supplemental bracing effect. The inner strap surface may be correspondingly beveled to exert upon the free tooth ends an elastic biasing force urging the two barrel halves toward each other in the axial direction. The barrel is internally lined with a plastic bag.
Abstract:
Plastic containers having improved physical properties are prepared from a composite billet having an outer peripheral area composed of a thermoplastic resin and an inner central core portion composed of the thermoplastic resin modified with a material which imparts improved physical properties such as reduced gas permeability or increased stiffness or rigidity to the resin. The composite billet is molded into a container wherein the billet core is formed into the sidewalls and bottom of the container and the peripheral portion is formed into a flexible thermoplastic flange surrounding the open end of the container which can be doubled seamed to a metal end closure without fracture.
Abstract:
A profiled bottom wall for a drawn and ironed container having a cylindrical side wall and integral bottom wall is disclosed herein. The bottom wall and side wall merge with each other along an annular outwardly directed bead and the bottom wall has an annular inwardly directed bead located within the outwardly directed bead. The adjacent ends of the two beads are interconnected by an arcuate portion that produces a convex surface within the container and the portion of the container bottom wall within the inwardly directed bead is generally flat and merges with the adjacent end of the inwardly directed bead along a further arcuate portion that defines a concave surface within the container.
Abstract:
The neck portion, extending above the bead of a plastic drum, is provided with an in-bulging section adjacent its top, to form an annular bead of smaller diameter than the neck, and with a plurality of circumferentially spaced, out-bulging extensions, each of which has a lower surface slanting upward away from the neck. A tightly fitting cylindrical cover, which is not quite as long as the neck, and fits over the latter, has a recessed top and a lip-like reinforcement extending downward from the underside of the recessed top to form an annular groove of such width as to accommodate the bead on the neck of the drum. The cover has cut out portions through which the bulge-like extensions protrude and reinforcing extensions at the lower extremities of the remaining segments. These extensions have upper surfaces slanting away from the cover at such an angle that, with the lower surfaces of adjacent bulges on the neck, they define an acute angle. A spring steel locking ring engages these surfaces to draw the cover down tight about the neck and seal the drum.
Abstract:
An aluminum container body and a method of forming the same by ironing the side wall of a drawn cup to thin and lengthen it, and reforming the bottom end wall of the ironed cup to form therein an upwardly domed central portion connected through a substantially vertical wall section and an outwardly and upwardly tapered shoulder into the side wall of the can body. The ironed can body may have a protective coating applied to its inner surfaces and cured thereon prior to reforming the end wall.
Abstract:
A plastic container has a cylindrical body member and a bottom member which are separately molded. The body member is formed with an open bottom and has an annular groove in its bottom edge. The bottom member has a pair of concentric upstanding annular flanges, the outer one fitting within the annular groove in the bottom edge of the body member, and the inner one fitting within the open bottom of the container to abut the lower portion of the interior wall thereof. The parts are permanently sealed to each other by ultrasonic welding, usually after a bottom-filling operation with the container in an inverted position.
Abstract:
A profiled bottom wall for drawn, extruded and/or wall ironed cans having improved resistance against buckling under the internal pressure of a packaged medium. The profiled bottom wall includes an annular chime projecting inwardly and upwardly from the body wall which terminates in an annular bead. The construction is such that a 50 percent increase in resistance to buckling is achieved as compared to conventional bottom walls.
Abstract:
A class of hollow, shell-type, deep submergence vessels with low weight to displacement ratio and high resistance to external hydrostatic pressures and made of interconnected shells in the form of equatorial segments of unidirectional radial fiberreinforced resin spheres is disclosed. Suitable stiffening rings are provided to interconnect and take up stresses at the junctures of the sphere sections of such a vessel. The foregoing abstract is not to be taken either as a complete exposition or as a limitation of the present invention, and in order to understand the full nature and extent of the technical disclosure of this application, reference must be had to the following detailed description and the accompanying drawings as well as to the claims.
