Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a resealable integral container and cap assembly.
  • the present invention can be used to store and package moisture-sensitive items, including but not limited to pharmaceuticals, and foods, among other items.
  • the container substantially prohibits the ingress of moisture into the container through the cap when the container is sealed. In other words, it is substantially moisture-tight.
  • the container assembly is provided with a desiccant or similar material, which reduces the moisture present within the container when it is sealed. That is, after the container has been sealed, the desiccant absorbs moisture present therein.
  • the assembly comprises an integral cap portion and container portion, joined together by a hinge.
  • the bottom of the container portion is defined by a disc-like base, from which the sidewall of the container portion depends upward to an upper end of the container portion.
  • the upper end of the container portion defines an opening through which the interior of the container can be accessed.
  • the region of the upper end of the container portion extending upward from the hinge is the lip.
  • a rim positioned on the outside of the lip, extends around the periphery of the lip.
  • the lip seal member of the present invention is not limited to cylindrical containers but may also be employed with other shaped containers.
  • the cap portion is provided with a base and a skirt positioned on the periphery of the base, the skirt extending substantially perpendicular to the base.
  • the base portion has a periphery sized so that when the cap portion is in the closed position, the base portion extends over the opening in the container portion.

  • the thumb tab and hinge extend perpendicularly and outwardly from the skirt of the cap.
  • the container portion further includes a flange projecting radially and outwardly from the outer surface of the container portion sidewall.

Abstract

L'invention concerne, dans un mode de réalisation, un ensemble récipient et couvercle intégré, qui comprend un couvercle fixé solidairement au récipient, le couvercle ayant une base circulaire bordée d'une périphérie extérieure et une jupe tubulaire cylindrique s'étendant perpendiculairement et vers l'extérieur autour de la périphérie extérieure de la base. L'ensemble comprend également un récipient présentant une partie supérieure et des surfaces intérieure et extérieure, et un rebord cylindrique dressé au niveau de la partie supérieure, ce rebord étant conçu comme la partie du récipient en contact avec une paroi intérieure de la jupe du couvercle. Le rebord présente un bord des parois intérieure et extérieure et une lèvre souple qui prolonge de manière concentrique la surface intérieure de la base du couvercle. Lorsque la jupe du couvercle surmonte le récipient et qu'au moins une partie du rebord du récipient vient au contact de la paroi intérieure de la jupe du couvercle, la lèvre souple interagit avec le rebord et s'infléchit suffisamment pour former un joint d'étanchéité refermable entre le couvercle et le récipient.
