Definitions

  • THE PRESENT INVENTION relates to a tubular container, and more particularly to such a container provided with a device for gripping the sidewalls thereof, such as a device for lifting the container.
  • Tubular containers are now becoming more popular and are frequently used for packaging various products, such as solids or liquids which may be retained within a plastic bag located within the tubular container.
  • One prior proposed gripping insert is of concave shape and is formed of relatively thin material having radially extending expansion slots. This does not ensure an evenly distributed contact between the outer edge of the gripping insert and the inside of the wall of the tube. This increases the possibility of the insert pulling out of the tube when the tube is being carried by means of the gripping insert. -This is clearly undesirable.
  • a container said container being of tubular configuration and having a base and an upstanding sidewall defining on open mouth, the container being provided with an element tnsertabk into the mouth of the container, said element carrying peripheral wedging means which, when the element is in the open mouth of the container are adjacent the inner surface of the sidewall of the container, therebeing engagement means located between said wedging means and the said inner surface of the sidewall of the container so that if said wedging means are moved upwardly towards the mouth of the container, said wedging means bias the engagement means into firm contact with the interior of the side wall of the container thus retaining said element firmly in position.
  • said element is a carrying element and is provided with a manually graspable handle accessible from the exterior of the container.
  • said element defines a peripheral flared sidewall which constitutes said wedging means.
  • a lip or rib is provided which extends radially outwardly beyond the top of the flared sidewall provided on said element.
  • Said element may be fabricated as an injection moulding of a plastics material.
  • the engagement means comprises a broken ring of material having a high coefficient of friction adapted to engage said wedging means and also adopted to engage the inner periphery of the sidewall of the container.
  • said ring is a broken ring.
  • said ring has a cross section such that the radially innermost part of the cross section constitutes an inclined wall having an angte of inclination corresponding to the angle of inclination of said wedging means.
  • said ring is provided with a plurality of gripping flanges on the exterior thereof.
  • said flanges comprise a plurality of sets of flanges each occupying a predetermined angle of arc, the sets of flanges being spaced apart by portions of the ring not provided with flanges.
  • Said flanges may be substantially planar flanges, or may be substantially triangular flanges.
  • the container may be substantially circular cross section, or of substantially oval cross section.
  • the ring may comprise two separate parts, or comprises two parts interconnected by a part of reduced cross section.
  • the container is such that when said element is pushed inwardly into the container, means provided on said element engage said engagement member and move the engagement member into the container with said element.
  • the container may contain a bag of resilient material which, in turn, contains a carbonated beverage.
  • a cylindrical container I having a substantially flat base 2, and an upstanding side wall 2 which is circular in plan, having an open mouth or top 3.
  • a gripping device 4 is provided in the open mouth of the container I.
  • the gripping device comprises a gripping disc 5 which is provided, adjacent the periphery thereof, with a depending side wall 6.
  • the sidewall 6 is slightly flared in that the lower part of the side wall 6 has a slightly greater overall diameter than the upper part which is connected to the gripping disc 5.
  • Centrally provided in the gripping disc is a manually graspable handle 7.
  • the gripping disc 5 is provided with a peripheral lip 8 which extends radially beyond the top of the sidewall 6.
  • the gripping disc 5, within its associated side wall 6, is dimensioned to be freely insertable in the open mouth of the container 4.
  • a gripping ring 9 is provided, which is a broken ring.
  • the gripping ring 9 is substantially a complete ring, but a small part 10 of the ring is missing.
  • the ring is made of a material having a high coefficient of friction, such as rubber or a plastic material.
  • the cross section of the ring can be seen most clearly in Figure 3, and it can be seen that the ring is of generally rectangular configuration. However, it is to be noted that the vertical side wall I of the rectangular cross section that is radially innermost is slightly inclined, (so that the ring is thicker at the top than it is at the bottom) the ongte of inclination corresponding to the angle of inclination of the depending side wall 6 mentioned above.
  • the exterior of the ring is provided with a plurality of sets of parallel outwardly extending gripping flanges or ribs 12.
  • Each set of flanges extends over approximately 35 0 of arc, and the sets of flanges are spaced apart by approximately 10° of arc.
  • the gripping ring will initially be placed around the depending side wall 6 and as the disc 5, with the gripping ring 9 mounted thereon, is inserted in the open mouth 3 of the container I, the gripping ring will be retained in position between the depending side wall 6 and the side wall 2 of the container 1. If a downward pressure is applied to the handle 7 the plate 5 will move downwardly and the lip 8 on the plate which protrudes beyond the side wall 6 will engage the upper surface of the ring 9. The ring 9 will then move downwardly as the plate 5 moves downwardly.
  • the flanges 12 provided on the exterior of the ring 9 will tend to grip the inner surface of the wall 2 of the container I retaining the gripping ring in position relative to the container I, and thus the disc 5 and the associated depending side wall 6 will move upwardly relative to the gripping ring 9.
  • the side wall will effect a wedging action on the gripping ring 9 and will urge the ring 9 radially outwardly into very firm gripping engagement with the side wall 2 of the container I.
  • the arrangement will be such that after the sidewall 6 has moved upwardly by a predetermined amount relative to the gripping ring 9, it will not be possible for the side wall to move further upwardly.
  • a container of the type described above may be utilised to contain a flexible bag formed of a plastics material or an appropriate laminate which may contain a carbonated beverage such as beer, lemonade, cola or the like.
  • the bag would be provided with a tap, accessible from the exterior of the container, to permit the beverage within the bag to be dispensed.
  • a continual pressure is applied to the bag the risk of the beverage degasifying or going "flat" is minimised.
  • the entire gripping assembly 4 may be fabricated as an injection moulding from a plastics material.
  • Figure 4 corresponds to Figure 1 but shows a modified embodiment of the invention.
  • the closure 4' is provided with a dome shaped disc 5', the slightly flared peripheral side wall 6" effectively extending upwardly from the periphery dome shaped disc 5.
  • the disc 5' has a central handle 7.
  • Reinforcing webs 3 are provided between the disc 5' and the side wall 6'.
  • a bead 8' is provided at the upper end of the side wall 6' to engage the broken sealing ring 9'.
  • the closure 4' may be fabricated as an injection moulding of plastics material.
  • the seating ring 9' has a single series of flanges 12' which extend entirely around the sealing ring, and the flanges are of triangular configuration. This embodiment will operate in the same way as the embodiment shown in Figures I to 3.
  • the invention has been described with reference to embodiments primarily intended for use in connection with certain containers of circular hortzontal cross section, it is to be realised that the invention may be utilised with containers of oval cross section. In such an arrangement, however, the gripping may need to be formed of two separate parts, or two parts interconnected by a part of reduced thickness.
