The specific embodiment
A kind of audible closing feature that is used to have the container of threaded lid, and particularly open and in the configuration of Fig. 1~a kind of projection of 5 illustrated and notch at this.Described container can have at least one projection and have at least one notch that is used to hold described projection so that a kind of indication of listening to be provided when the described container of described lid adequate closure along the screw thread of container in capping, the minimum drag of assurance when described container removes described lid, and between transportation and/or storage life, prevent loosening between described lid and the container.
A kind of container and lid all contain and are meshing with each other so that described lid closes the screw thread of described container.Described lid can contain at least one projection, and preferably at least three, places between the uppermost component of the end face of described lid and described screw thread.Described projection can be separately when the described container of described lid adequate closure with described container neck ring outside thread in corresponding notch or opening tight joint, perhaps as an alternative, some described projection can have the cooresponding projection not all in order to the notch of tight joint.When described lid when the container neck ring is rotated, described have corresponding notch and will touch described externally threaded inclined-plane end with the projection of tight joint.Along with described projection rides on the outside thread inclined-plane end and on screw thread, one of described lid hoop and container neck ring or both can produce distortion.If adopt three or more projections, so described distortion can be uniform.Described projection is slided along described screw thread and is buckled into the position within the notch on the outside thread rapidly up to it.When described projection buckles into described notch rapidly, produce and a kind ofly listen indication fully to be screwed in make position and described container by closed fully, thereby provide described container by sufficiently closed assurance to the customer to represent described lid.
In addition, the engagement of described projection and container threads when can preventing that described lid from getting loose from container, is a kind ofly therebetween anti-ly touched (tamper evident) rete and is covered in opening during transportation and/or during containers store.Described rete can provide the resistance of increase to the rotation between described lid and the container, its when described projection also touches described rete or described projection in notch and described rete can be enhanced when between screw thread, causing extra pressure.
Described container 14 comprises the container body 26 that at one end has opening 24, and around the neck ring 28 of the opening 24 of container 14, as shown in Figure 4.The neck ring 28 of container 14 contains the negative thread 18 ingear outside threads 16 that are useful on lid 12.In addition, the outside thread 16 of container 14 contains at least one notch 20 within outside thread 16 and preferably, although optionally, and at least three common equally spaced notches 20.As an alternative, can comprise annulus or continuous linear projection at the following surface vessel 14 of outside thread 16 around the contained notch 20 of the neck ring 28 of container 14.
Notch 20 in the described screw thread 16 becomes different sections to thread separation.As a result, form the multistage screw thread.Outside thread 16 on the neck ring 28 of container 14 can be discontinuous and be provided with at a certain angle around the neck ring 28 of container 14, like this so that a screw tip and another screw initial thread end are overlapping.Wherein outside thread has at least three discontinuous outside threads, and more preferably, although optionally, article at least four, discontinuous outside thread, and angled so that article one is externally threaded to be gone up end most and is overlapped in position on the externally threaded lower end of second, the externally threaded end of going up most of described article one contains described notch, shown in Figure 4 and 5.Alternately, opposite overlay configuration is possible.Still alternately, described screw thread can be continuous.
Described notch 20 can be arranged to be gone up in the screw thread 16 most, that is: described screw thread is close to the top or the opening 24 of container 14 most.In addition, notch 20 can be placed near the discontinuous externally threaded terminal point of going up screw thread most, like this adjacent part of screw thread 16 is separated into two sections: long section and the short section separated by notch 20.
Described lid 12 is furnished with negative thread 18, and wherein negative thread can be discontinuous.Lid 12 has roof 30 and from its hoop that hangs down 32, is furnished with the screw thread 18 that places hoop 32 inside faces.Negative thread 18 on the lid 12 be configured to container neck ring 28 on outside thread 16 engagement so that container 14 remain closed.The screw thread 18 of lid 12 also can be configured to certain angle so that a screw tip and another screw initial thread end are overlapping, and this depends on the screw thread arrangement on the neck ring 28 of container 14.For example, but article one negative thread go up the lower end that the second negative thread is lived in the end imbrication most.
Described lid 12 comprises at least one projection member 22, it is between the inside face of the roof 30 of the topmost portion of screw thread 18 and lid 12, and preferably, although not necessarily, at least three along the roughly equally spaced projection 22 of hoop 32 inside faces, and wherein said lid has at least three discontinuous negative threads.Described projection 22 can contact the upper surface of screw thread 18, perhaps with it at interval; Similarly, projection 22 can contact the point of crossing of roof 30 and hoop 32, perhaps with it at interval.A kind of embodiment can make projection 22 place the upper surface of going up screw thread 18 most, and wherein screw thread 18 is overlapping, as shown in Figure 4, and places near the initial point of going up screw thread 18 most in the overlapping region.Another kind of embodiment can make projection 22 be built in Non-overlapping Domain on the upper surface of screw thread 18, makes projection 22 only contact with screw thread 18 like this, simultaneously from the point of crossing of roof 30 and hoop 32 segment distance that is spaced.
Described projection 22 is made with embedding according to size and is positioned at notch 20 on the screw thread 16 of container 14, and can have various littler than notch 20, with its complementation, or bigger shape and size.Typically, projection 22 can have leading edge and trailing edge, is embedded into the exposure that just contacts notch 20 in case comprise projection 22 in addition.On the opposite of exposure can be the straight flange that is connected in the hoop 32 of lid 12.The leading edge of projection 22 is first limits of contact notch 20, and trailing edge is the decline of projection 22 contact notches 20.A kind of example of projection shape is generally trapezoid, and four straight flanges contain leading edge and the trailing edge that becomes different angles at an angle of 90, and wherein in other straight flange is connected in described hoop.Another kind of shape can be a projection, has circular edge and straight flange up and down.Described leading edge and trailing edge are can shape similar, that is: the both can be circle, and the exposure of projection can be a straight flange, and the surface with respect to exposure is connected in described hoop simultaneously, and can be a straight flange.Another kind of may shape can be semicircle projection, wherein has only two surfaces: semi circular surface and the straight flange that is connected in hoop.Also having another kind of possibility shape, can be the projection of quadrntnt shape, has three limits.Described leading edge can be straight flange, and the simultaneously remaining projection surface that exposes is a circle, and the limit that is connected in the lid hoop can be a straight flange.Other shape still can be provided for projection member 22, and described shape is not limited to the above-mentioned shape that those have just been mentioned.
Described notch 20 can be shaped as and hold the projection 22 that is positioned at lid 12 and can have many shapes.Notch 20 can be a bit larger tham projection 22 according to being sized to, perhaps can according to size make with the complementary dimensioned of projection 22, or be slightly smaller than projection 22 according to being sized to.Notch 20 can be preferably according to being sized to less than projection 22, this makes projection 22 be longer than notch 20 and its girth girth greater than notch 20, cooperates more closely obtaining between projection 22 and notch 20.If wish one of projection 22 and notch 20 or both have resistance to abrasion that owing to repeated usage it is useful beginning with such structure so.Notch 20 preferably at least roughly extends through screw thread 16 always, and screw thread 16 is separated into two sections.
Described audible closing feature 10 can have at least one projection 22 and a corresponding notch 20, and it provides a kind of sub-audible sound when indicating described lid 12 adequate closure containers.When wishing closed container 14, lid 12 can be placed on the opening 24 and rotation is meshed screw thread 18 and the screw thread on the container neck ring 28 16 on the lid 12, as the threaded loop system of representative type.Projection 22 on the described lid 12 can be at first when lid at first is rotated be passed through between the screw thread 16 from the container 14.Yet described audible closing feature 10 also can have unequal number purpose projection 22 and notch 20, makes, for example, has than notch 20 more projections 22.An example with the audible closing feature 10 that does not wait projection 22 and notch 20 can have four projections 22 and two notches 20 only, makes and has only two projections 22 and described two notch 20 tight joint.
When described lid 12 near its rotation during terminal point, projection 22 can begin the chamfered portion engagement with the screw thread 16 of container 14, shown in Figure 1A.(Figure 1A-1C has described described lid 12 and has placed the section-drawing on the container 14 and outwards observe from the inside of container 14.) position on the described inclined-plane short section that can be positioned at container 14 discontinuous outside threads 16 goes up and end at notch 20 or its can be along around the annulus setting of container neck ring 28 and end at notch 20 equally.When projection 22 is slided upward with chamfered portion engagement and the inclined-plane on outside thread 16, shown in Figure 1B, when projection 22 was slided along the inclined-plane, the neck ring 28 of container 14 can outwards be out of shape in uniform mode with the hoop 32 of uniform mode to internal strain and/or lid 12.When pressure was applied on the screw thread 16 of container 14 by projection 22, the tension force between lid 12 and container 14 increased, and can cause the affine deformation of container 14 and/or lid 12.In case projection 22 notch 20 tight joint cooresponding with it make it buckle into the position rapidly within notch 20, the hoop 32 of neck ring 28 and/or lid 12 can be returned to it and not be out of shape, or lax state.Fig. 1 C shows that projection 22 and notch 20 complete tight joint and lid 12 are in the position of complete closure.When projection 22 buckles into rapidly when putting in place, can produce a kind of sub-audible sound, its indicating closure 12 adequate closure containers 14 in notch 20.This preferably is in turned position maximum between lid 12 and the container 14.
The engagement of projection 22 and screw thread 16 prevents that lid 12 from getting loose from container 14 during can and moving in the transportation of container 14.Projection 22 on the lid 12 can be by placing anti-rete prevention and notch 20 tight joint of touching on the lid and between the neck ring 28 of container 14 and the lid 12 before using first and between transportation and/or storage life.Rete between described lid 12 and the container 14 can hinder the alignment of projection 22 and notch 20 and lead to the path of notch 20 and stop lid 12 to stop projection 22 to fall among the notch 20 towards the further rotation of notch 20 by obstruction.Therefore, the tension force of projection 22 on the screw thread 16 of the container 14 that is covered by described rete can prevent to become flexible.Alternately, for example for the anti-rete that touches that does not stretch in the screw thread, described rete can provide the resistance of increase for rotation between lid 12 and container 14, when projection 22 also touches described rete or within projection 22 is in notch 20 and described rete when between screw thread, causing extra pressure this resistance can be increased.In addition, projection 22 and notch 20 preferably are configured to make the simple rotation of the lid 12 that need not under the axial force just lid 12 to be backed off so that the light unlatching of container 14 from container 14.
In a kind of selectable configuration, described projection 22 can be assemblied on the neck ring 28 of container 14 and described notch 20 can be assemblied on the screw thread 18 of lid 12, and still provides a kind of sub-audible sound in projection 22 in notch 20 aligns.
The number of projection 22 needn't equate with the number of container threads 16 inner tank mouths 20 on the described lid 12.Projection 22 can be more than notch 20, or vice versa.For example, lid 12 can contain four projections 22 and container 14 can contain two notches 20, makes remaining two projections 22 on the lid 12 and the notch 20 to buckle into rapidly of no use.Alternately, can there be at least one projection 22 and at least one to be used for the corresponding notch 20 of each projection 22.Can also preferably have at least three projections 22 and be used for the corresponding notch 20 of each projection, that is: at least three notches 20, but also more preferably have four projections 22 and four notches 20, and shown in Fig. 2-3, all roughly equidistant separating.Have at least three projections 22 and three notches 20 and help to keep the affine deformation of the hoop 32 of the neck ring 28 of container 14 and/or lid 12.In a single day this be returned at container 14 that it is initial, during undeformable state, further help projection 22 and notch 20 and buckle into rapidly and put in place, thereby the described indication of listening is provided.
From as can be known aforementioned, provide a kind of and be used to have listening of threaded accurately machined container and close parts again, make be positioned on the lid and the container neck ring on projection and the notch loop system can mesh and a kind of sub-audible sound is provided when closure fully.Yet, described openly being not limited to, perhaps any special embodiment at above-described situation and embodiment.To listening the various modifications of closing device again can both finally produce the same substantially device.
