Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a container.
  • the container may be used to store a consumer product, such as a tobacco pouch or a medicinal product such as medicinal chewing gum, medicinal patch or medicinal pouch.
  • a container of the type having a compartment to store a consumer product, such as a plurality of pouches to be used by a consumer, is known.
  • the pouches may be tobacco- free and contain a substance related to nicotine replacement therapy. Alternatively, they may contain tobacco or another oral substance related to the tobacco industry. .
  • the container may have a second compartment that may be used to store the consumer product once it has been used by a consumer before disposal, and/or for storing a product information leaflet on which information relating to the product is provided.
  • Each of the compartments may be closed by a separate lid, and at least the lid closing a primary storage compartment in which the consumer product is contained prior to consumption incorporates a ‘child-resistant’ closure to restrict access only to those with sufficient manual dexterity normally only possessed by adults.
  • a container comprising: a base portion defining a storage compartment and including a cylindrical side wall; a lid having a resiliently deformable cylindrical peripheral wall; wherein the side and peripheral walls include respective cooperating elements that engage when the lid is placed on the base in a direction extending along a longitudinal axis of the cylindrical side and peripheral walls with the side wall of the base being at least partly received within the peripheral wall of the lid, to couple the lid to the base and close the storage compartment; the side and peripheral walls further comprising respective cam members that are spaced in a radial direction from the longitudinal axis when the lid is coupled to the base, wherein said cam member on the peripheral wall of the lid is movable in a radially inward direction towards the longitudinal axis in response to the resilient deformation of the peripheral wall of the lid so that the cam member on the peripheral wall of the lid radially aligns with the cam member on the side wall of the base and so that, upon relative rotation of the base and the lid when the peripheral wall of the lid
  • the respective cooperating elements may comprise a ridge that protrudes in a radially outward direction from an outer surface of the side wall of the base, and a catch that protrudes in a radially inward direction from an inner surface of the peripheral wall of the lid for cooperation with the ridge.
  • the catch may comprise a tooth that protrudes in a radially inward direction, and a seat that locates the ridge when the lid is coupled to the base.
  • the ridge and the tooth may be configured such that the tooth contacts, and then snaps over, the ridge into the seat when the lid is placed on the base and pressure is applied to the lid and the base in opposite axial directions.
  • the tooth and/ or the ridge may be resiliently deformable to allow the ridge to snap over the tooth into the seat.
  • the container may comprise a plurality of teeth extending in a radially inward direction from an inner surface of the peripheral wall of the lid.
  • the teeth can be spaced circumferentially about the longitudinal axis.
  • the base may comprise a bottom wall having an upper face from which the side wall upstands, and the bottom wall may extend in a radially outward direction beyond the side wall.
  • Figure 5 illustrates a second cross-section through the container of Figure 1;
  • Figure 1 illustrates a container 1 according to an embodiment of the invention and which comprises a base 2 and a lid 3 having a major planar face 4 from which a cylindrically-shaped peripheral wall 5 depends downwardly in the orientation in which the lid 3 is shown in the drawing.
  • the peripheral wall 5 extends over, and is coupled to, a corresponding cylindrically-shaped side wall 6 (see Fig. 2) of the base 2 so that the lid 3 extends over and closes a storage compartment 7 defined within the confines of the side wall 6.
  • the side wall 6 of the base 2 upstands from a base wall 8 that extends radially beyond the side wall 6.
  • each catch 13 comprises two identical teeth each having ramped and sloped surfaces 14, 16.
  • the two teeth of each catch 13 may be spaced from each other in close proximity, as shown in Figure 3.
  • a bracing member may extend between and connect the teeth but this bracing member is optional.
  • the side wall 6 of the base 2 and the peripheral wall 5 of the lid 3 are each provided with respective cam members that are configured to engage when the lid 3 and the base 2 are rotated relative to each other, but this engagement can only occur when the peripheral wall 5 of the lid 3 is also resiliency deformed in a radial inward direction.
  • the raised platforms 21a on which the ramped surfaces 21 are formed may be a localised thickening of the side wall 6 of the base 2, i.e. they maybe integrally formed with the base 2.
  • the thickening may extend from the base wall 8 to the ramped surface 21 or, as shown in Figure 2, the the platforms 21a may each include a recessed area 23 to reduce material usage.
  • the cam member on the lid 3 comprises a cam follower 20b.
  • the cam follower 20b is any shape or protruberance extending radially inward from the inner surface 5a of the peripheral wall 5 of the lid 3 which will engage and travel along the helically-shaped ramped surface 21 of the cam member 20a when the helically-shaped ramped surface 21 and the cam follower 20b are in radial alignment with each other.
  • the cam follower 20b may comprise a short section of a curved, essentially helical, male thread 24 that extends in a radially inward direction from an inner surface 5a of the peripheral wall 5 of the lid 3. At the very least the cam follower 20b may have a helically shaped lower surface 25 to face the helically-shaped ramped surface 21 on the side wall 6 of the base 2. The helically-shaped lower surface 25 is configured to mate with the helically-shaped ramp surface 21 on the base 2 when the cam members engage.
  • the diameter of the lid 3 is greater than the diameter of the side wall 6 of the base 2 so that, when the lid 3 is received on the base 2 a gap 27 is present between the side and peripheral walls 6, 5.
  • the helical ramp surface 21 on the side wall 6 and the helical thread 24 forming the cam follower 20b on the inside surface 5a of the peripheral wall 5 of the lid 3 are spaced or offset from each other in a radial direction so that there is no interaction between the helical ramp surface 21 and the cam follower 24 during attachment of the lid 3 to the base 2, or when the lid 3 is received on the base 2 and the lid 3 and the base 2 are rotated relative to each other in the absence of any resilient deformation of the peripheral wall 5 of the lid 3.
  • radially inwardly directed pressure is applied to each of the thickened regions. This maybe achieved by squeezing the peripheral wall 5 of the lid 3 between a finger, pressed against one thickened region 26, and a thumb of the same hand pressed against the other diametrically opposite thickened region 26.
  • the applied pressure resiliently deforms the peripheral wall 5 of the lid 3 in a radially inward direction, as shown by the arrows marked D in Fig. 4, so that the cam follower 20b on the inside surface 5a of the lid 3 moves into radial alignment with the ramped helical surface 21 on the side wall 6 of the base 2.
  • the helical ramped surface 21 extends radially from the outer surface of the side wall 6 of the base 2 at at right-angles to the longitudinal axis A- A.
  • the horizontal force tending to push the peripheral wall 5 of the lid 3 back out following resilient deformation in a radial inward direction is provided only by the resilience of the material from which the peripheral wall 5 is made.
  • the ramped surface 21 may also be angled relative to the longitudinal axis A-A, i.e. it may slant downwardly from the side wall 6 in a direction angled towards the base wall 8. This is shown represented by angle marked ‘a’ in the partial cross- sectional view of Fig.
  • the peripheral wall 5 of the lid 3 is also shown in its resiliently deformed position, i.e. deflected in a radially inward direction as shown by arrow marked D.
  • the horizontal force tending to push the peripheral wall 5 back out following resilient deformation in the direction of arrow D includes two components namely, the resilience of the material from which the peripheral wall 5 of the lid 3 is made, and an additional outward force component generated by contact of the cam follower 20b against the angled ramp surface 21.
  • a greater force needs to be applied to the peripheral wall 5 of the lid 3 to keep the cam follower 20b engaged with the ramped surface 21.
  • the contact angle a can be increased to make the lid 3 more difficult to remove, as it increases the force required to maintain the cam follower 20b engaged with the ramped surface 21 during relative rotation of the lid 3 and the base 2.
  • the base wall 8 comprises a peripheral rim 28 that defines a shallow recessed region (not shown) in the underside of the base 2.
  • a secondary storage compartment is formed by this shallow recessed region which is closed by the cover 10.
  • the cover 10, as illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2, comprises a substantially cylindrical cover major face 29 (see Fig. 2) and a peripheral lip 30 which upstands from an edge of the major face 29, forming a shallow recess 31.
  • the cover 10 is removably attached to the base wall 8, although the cover 10 may be hinged to the base wall 8 or attached in any alternative manner. In the illustrated embodiment, the cover 10 is removably attached to the base wall 8 and is held in place via an interference fit.
  • the secondary storage compartment may provide a space to receive and store a printed information leaflet and/or be used to contain used product.
  • the cover 10 may be recessed or dished to increase the amount of space formed by the secondary storage compartment. In other embodiments, there may be no cover 10.
  • the base wall 2 has a number of protuberances 32 equidistantly spaced around the peripheral rim 28 of the base wall 8.
  • the peripheral rim 28 comprises four equidistantly spaced protuberances 32.
  • the protuberances 32 are substantially semi-circular or arcuate in shape, but may have any shape. As seen in most clearly in Fig.
  • the peripheral lip 30 of the cover 10 comprises a number of equidistantly spaced recesses 34, positioned and shaped to correspond with the protuberances 32 on the base wall 8 such that when the cover 10 is in a closed position on the base wall 8, each of the protuberances 32 on the base wall 8 is received within a corresponding recess 34 on the cover 10.
  • the protruberances 32 on the base wall can receive and locate a patient information leaflet stored in the secondary storage compartment.
  • the patient information leaflet can be square in shape with each corner received in one of the protruberances 32.
  • Fig. 7 illustrates a base 35 according to another embodiment of the invention, which can be substituted for the base 2 shown in Figs. 1, 2, 4 and 5, but uses the same lid 3.
  • the base 35 has similar features to allow the lid to be coupled to, and removed from, the base 35 as shown in Figs. 2 to 5, but the base wall 8 is replaced with a chamber or bottle to store a consumer product in bulk.
  • the container 1 is preferably made from plastic such as HDPE or the like.
  • the cover 10 may be integrally formed with the container 1 and therefore may be also made from
  • the cover 10 maybe separately manufactured from the container 1 and formed from other plastics such as LDPE etc, and may be more flexible than the material of the base 2 and the lid 3.
  • the lid 3 may be formed of a different material to the base 2, such as polypropylene.
  • the storage compartment 7 in the base 2 may be initially sealed by aluminium foil (not shown) that extends across the open end of the side wall 6 and is sealed against the remote edge 12 of the side wall 6.
  • the seal may have a flap to allow easy removal of the foil, by peeling it off the remote edge 12, when first opening the container by the user.
  • the aluminum foil closure provides a shelf-life stability barrier for the product during storage and the thickness of the aluminum foil may enhance the tightness of fitting between the lid 3 and the base 2 to improve barrier properties further. Once the foil has been removed by a user, it may become easier for the lid 3 and the base 2, to rotate relative to each other.

Abstract

La présente invention divulgue un récipient (1). Il comprend une partie de base (2) définissant un compartiment de stockage et comprenant une paroi latérale cylindrique, et un couvercle (3) ayant une paroi périphérique cylindrique élastiquement déformable (5). Les parois latérales et périphériques comprennent des éléments coopérants respectifs (11, 13) qui viennent en prise lorsque le couvercle est placé sur la base dans une direction s'étendant le long d'un axe longitudinal du côté cylindrique et des parois périphériques, la paroi latérale de la base étant au moins partiellement reçue à l'intérieur de la paroi périphérique du couvercle, pour coupler le couvercle à la base et pour fermer le compartiment de stockage. Les parois latérales et périphériques comprennent en outre des éléments cames respectifs (20a, 20b) qui sont espacés l'un de l'autre dans une direction radiale à partir de l'axe longitudinal lorsque le couvercle est couplé à la base. L'élément came sur la paroi périphérique du couvercle est mobile dans une direction radialement vers l'intérieur vers l'axe longitudinal à la suite de la déformation élastique de la paroi périphérique du couvercle de telle sorte que l'élément came sur la paroi périphérique du couvercle s'aligne radialement sur l'élément came sur la paroi latérale de la base et de telle sorte que, lors de la rotation relative de la base et du couvercle lorsque la paroi périphérique du couvercle est déformée élastiquement, lesdits éléments cames respectifs viennent en prise et génèrent une force entre le couvercle et la base dans une direction opposée le long de l'axe longitudinal pour désolidariser les éléments coopérants pour découpler le couvercle de la base et pour ouvrir le compartiment de stockage.
