Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to containers, and more specifically to a reduced material container produced with a reduced amount of material relative to conventional containers to have a reduced environmental impact.
  • containers also commonly referred to as packages
  • conventional containers include solid walls defining a storage comportment, which are produced using a variety of manufacturing processes including, but not limited to injection-molding, blow-molding, and thermoforming.
  • Containers are produced with specified attributes, such as retaining moisture, preventing moisture, or prolonging shelf life of the products contained therein, to accommodate the requirements of different applications.
  • the retail consumer industry uses containers in a host of applications for storing and transporting an almost endless number of products to the consumer, including, but not limited to baby wipes, cleaning wipes, cleaning pads, detergent products, pet products, personal care products, food products, cigarettes, and the like.
  • conventional containers have numerous disadvantages due to the significant amounts of materials and energy required to produce containers that meet the specifications and performance required by current quality standards.
  • conventional containers typically require many additional processes to produce a finished container. These additional processes can include, but are not limited to, filling processes, sealing processes, and adding tamper resistant elements, ornamental elements, and environmental elements for controlling conditions within the container, such as moisture content or gas content.
  • additional processes can include, but are not limited to, filling processes, sealing processes, and adding tamper resistant elements, ornamental elements, and environmental elements for controlling conditions within the container, such as moisture content or gas content.

  • FIG. 10 is a side view of the body of the second alternate embodiment of the reduced container.
  • FIG. 11 is an orthographic view of a body of a third alternate embodiment of a reduced container.
  • an embodiment of the present invention generally referred to as a reduced material container 10 , includes a hollow body 12 surrounded by a sleeve 14 that defines a compartment 16 for receiving and storing solid or liquid goods.
  • a removeable lid 18 seats against a rim 20 about an opening 22 to the compartment 16 .
  • the body 12 is generally rectangular having four sidewalls 24 extending vertically from a base 26 to define the compartment 16 and opening 22 thereto.
  • Each sidewall 24 is a generally grid-like framework having horizontal and vertical crosspieces 28 that define a plurality of apertures 30 .
  • the grid-like framework provides the container 10 with the structural integrity to withstand the stresses of filling, storage, distribution, and merchandising.
  • the sidewalls 24 of FIGS. 1-6 are a grid-like framework, the sidewalls 24 can encompass any arrangement of framework that reduces the amount of material in the body 12 while maintaining the structural integrity of the body 12 , including but not limited to lattice-like, diamond-like, circular, honeycomb, reticular, helical, and other arrangements.
  • the sidewalls 24 are slightly tapered so that the perimeter of the rim 20 is larger than the perimeter of the base 26 . This allows stacking of the container 10 within another container.
  • Protrusions 34 on the sidewalls 24 enhance the stability of the sidewalls 24 and aid engagement of the sleeve 14 with the sidewalls 24 .
  • the protrusions 34 are preferably raised ridges positioned along both the horizontal and vertical crosspieces 28 , including a parametric upper ridge 36 and a parametric lower ridge 38 .
  • the protrusions 34 can be positioned along both an inner surface 40 and an outer surface 42 of the sidewalls 24 .
  • Protrusions 34 can be positioned strategically at predetermined locations along the sidewalls 24 to enhance stability at desired areas.
  • the placement of the parametric upper ridge 36 along the rim 20 of the container 10 enhances the rim's ability to withstand repeated opening and closing of the lid 18 .
  • the placement, shape, and size of protrusions 34 along the sidewalls 24 can be altered to accommodate any number of different sizes, shapes, and functions of containers.
  • the body 12 is preferably produced as a unitary piece using a suitable process, such as injection molding.
  • the body 12 is preferably made with virgin or nor-virgin polymers, paperboard or metals, but other materials can also be used including, but not limited to recycled polymeric material such as PE, PP and PET.
  • the apertures 30 reduce the amount of material required to produce the container 10 .
  • gas or material additives such as calcium carbonate or talc, can be injected into the material.
  • the lid 18 is generally rectangular and corresponds to the size and shape of the rim 20 so that the lid 18 removeably seats against the rim 20 to seal product within the container 10 .
  • the lid 18 is also preferably produced as a unitary piece using a suitable process, such as injection molding. While the lid 18 is preferably made with virgin or nor-virgin polymers, paperboard or metals, but other materials can also be used including, but not limited to recycled polymeric material such as PE, PP and PET.
  • the amount of material needed to produce the lid 18 can also be reduced by injection of gas or material additives, such as calcium carbonate or talc, into the material. By using less material in the body 12 and lid 18 , the manufacturing time of the container 10 is reduced due to faster molding and curing cycles. The reduced amount of material and more efficient processes produce a container 10 having a reduced environmental impact.
  • the lid 18 can moveably attach to the body 12 with hinges, snaps, fasteners, and the like.
  • the lid 18 can include a moveably attached secondary lid (not shown) that can be independently opened without opening lid 18 to allow extraction of product from the container.
  • the lid 18 of FIGS. 1-6 is separate from the container 10
  • the lid 18 can also be formed integral with the container 10 , such as with a hinge.
  • the secondary lid may also be located such that the lid 18 itself or a tab extending from the lid 18 extends to one side of the lid 18 to allow for sleeving to lock the secondary lid and lid 18 in place so that neither lid can be opened without removing the sleeve section overlapping the two lids.
  • the body 12 and lid 18 can be produced as multiple pieces.
  • the base 26 can be formed separately and attached to the base 26 . This may be desirable when the base 26 includes additional features for holding the body 12 of the container 10 erect, promoting better stackability of the container 10 , or providing an additional means of dispensing or filling the container 10 with product.
  • hinges can be molded into the body 12 for moveable attachment to the lid 18 .
  • the lid 18 can include integral hinges to moveably attach to the body 12 .
  • the lid 18 can be replaced by various other forms of sealing the opening of the container including, but not limited to foils, films, and laminates of varying types.
  • the sleeve 14 is a film or substrate, preferably a bio-degradable polymer material, that seals against the sidewalls 24 , base 26 , and lid 18 ( FIGS. 1-2 ).
  • the sleeve can comprise any suitable film or substrate, such as shrink-wrap or pre-printed material.
  • the sleeve 14 can also seal to a limited portion of the container 10 , such as only to the sidewalls 24 .
  • the sleeve 14 should seal to at least the portion of the body 12 defining the apertures 30 to insure all the apertures 30 are covered by the sleeve 14 . Otherwise, product within the compartment 16 may become exposed through the apertures 30 .
  • the protrusions 34 frictionally engage the sleeve 14 to further secure and limit movement of the sleeve 14 .
  • the upper ridge 36 and lower ridge 38 engage and create tension across the sleeve 14 , thereby sealing the sleeve 14 to the body 12 .
  • an adhesive or heat-seal bond can be applied between the sleeve 14 and the body 12 to enhance the engagement and seal between the two elements.
  • the sleeve 12 includes a removable perforated section 44 about the lid 18 for tamper resistance purposes, which can be removed by the consumer after purchase. However, the perforated section 44 can also be placed at other portions of the container 10 .
  • the consumer removes the perforated section 44 from the sleeve 14 , revealing the lid 18 . The consumer can now remove the lid 18 for access to the product within the compartment 16 of the container 10 . Thereafter, the consumer reseats the lid 18 onto the rim 20 , thereby resealing the product within the container 10 .
  • Indicia 46 can be placed on the sleeve 14 , such as advertising, logos, instructions, warnings, and the like.
  • indicia 46 can be placed on the perforated section 44 , such as a coupon for the consumer that can be redeemed after removal. Any suitable method can be used to place the indicia 46 onto the sleeve 14 , such as printing, dying, engraving, etching, and the like.
  • Indicia 46 can also be placed on the lid 18 or the body 12 .
  • the sleeve 14 can comprise any suitable material, such as polymeric extruded, co extruded, cast, laminated sheet and film material such as polyolefin's, polyesters, nylons and coated cellophanes.
  • the sleeve 14 can be monolayer or multilayered, or one material or multi-material. Also, sleeve materials can be selected with specific properties to impart different functions to the container 10 .
  • a material with barrier properties to prevent entrance of contaminants, dirt, gases or high moisture can be selected for or applied to the sleeve # to retain moisture within the container 10 , such as “eval” (or “EVOH”), olefinic polymers, high density polyethylene (HDPE), polypropylene (PP), oriented polypropylene (OPP), polystyrene (PS), high-impact polystyrene (HIPS), polyethylene terephthalate (PET and PETG), polyvinylidene chloride (PVC), various copolymers, and high nitrile barrier resins.
