Abstract
The present disclosure relates to an improved replacement cover for a conventional smokeless tobacco can that may include a pivotably closable lid and a method of mounting the cover on a conventional smokeless tobacco can. The disclosure also relates to a smokeless tobacco holding device including a container and a lid with a spring-loaded hinge arrangement for opening the lid.
Description
- The principles disclosed herein relate generally to replacing the lid of a conventional smokeless tobacco can with an improved cover.
- The widespread use of smokeless tobacco products has become prevalent around the world. Most smokeless tobacco products are sold in circular cardboard and metal or molded plastic cans having a paper seal enclosing them. This particular form of tobacco is normally referred to as snuff or finecut moist smokeless tobacco. When a user desires to use the product, the paper seal is broken, the lid is removed, and the desired amount of smokeless tobacco is removed from the can for enjoyment. The lid is then replaced until further use is desired.
- Almost all commercially available smokeless tobacco cans, however, make using smokeless tobacco a cumbersome experience. The two-piece construction of almost all cans make opening of the lid, removal of a serving of chewing tobacco, and reclosing of the lid an at least two-handed proposition. Holding a conventional can and lid in one hand while trying to remove a serving of tobacco with the other can be cumbersome and lead to spilling of the product.
- Furthermore, the inexpensive construction of the conventional smokeless tobacco cans and the repeated opening and closing of the conventional lids cause the lids to deform easily and become loose. Thus, once the paper seal is broken, the conventional cans and lids fail to provide the tight seal required to retain the flavor and freshness of the tobacco and are known to cause unwanted spills.
- What is needed is an improved replacement cover for a conventional smokeless tobacco can that minimizes the above-mentioned shortcomings associated with conventional lids. What is needed is an improved cover that is easier to use and retains the integrity of the tobacco product longer by providing a better seal than conventional cans.
- The present disclosure describes embodiments relating to an improved replacement cover for a conventional smokeless tobacco can that is easier to use and provides a better seal than conventional lids and a method of mounting the improved cover on a smokeless tobacco can.
- Another aspect of the present disclosure is directed to embodiments relating to a smokeless tobacco holding device including a container and a lid including a spring-loaded hinge arrangement for opening the lid, wherein the lid may form a snap-fit interlock with the container to provide a secure fit.
- The accompanying drawings, which are incorporated in and constitute a part of the specification, illustrate various embodiments that examples of how certain inventions can be put into practice. A brief description of the drawings is as follows:

FIGS. 1-6 illustrate acover 100 having features that are examples of how various inventive concepts disclosed herein can be practiced. - In
FIG. 1 , thecover 100 is shown mounted on a conventional smokeless tobacco can 50. - Referring to
FIG. 2 , an exploded top perspective view of thecover 100 and the conventional smokeless tobacco can 50 is illustrated. Thecover 100 is of a generally cylindrical shape and includes anopen bottom end 102 and a partially openable top end 104. The top end 104 includes asolid portion 106 for mounting alid 108 and a generally semicircularopen portion 110 for accessing tobacco product 40 (illustrated inFIGS. 6 and 9 ). The top end 104 of thecover 100 defines acircular rim 112 that extends around the entire periphery of the top end 104 and askirt 114 projecting downwardly from therim 112. - The
lid 108 of thecover 100 is depicted to include a generally semicircular shape to match the shape of theopen portion 110 of the top end 104 of thecover 100. Thelid 108 includes atop side 116 and abottom side 118. Thelid 108 is pivotably coupled to thesolid portion 106 of the top end 104 via a spring-loadedhinge assembly 120, the details of which will be discussed further below. Althoughcover 100 is depicted with a “mid-hinge” lid arrangement, in certain embodiments, the lid may be provided at various other locations on the cover, as will be discussed below. - Still referring to
FIG. 2 , the conventional smokeless tobacco can 50 is illustrated with its conventional lid (not shown in the FIGS.) removed. The conventional smokeless tobacco can 50 generally includes a circular shape with a closedbottom end 52 and an opentop end 54 that defines atop edge 56. Asidewall 58 is disposed between thebottom end 52 and thetop end 54. Thesidewall 58 includes inner and outer surfaces, 60, 62. Along with the two ends, the sidewall defines aninner cavity 64 for storing tobacco product. Generally, a conventional lid frictionally fits around theouter surface 62 of thecan 50 for enclosing thecan 50. - As depicted in
FIG. 2 , thecover 100 is mounted on the conventional smokeless tobacco can 50 from thetop end 54 by sliding theskirt portion 114 of thecover 100 around theouter surface 62 of thesidewall 58 of thecan 50. Once mounted on, theskirt 114 is frictionally held around theouter surface 62 and provides a tight fit with thecan 50 for an improved seal. In a preferred embodiment, theskirt 114 of thecover 100 includes a resilient material. In one embodiment, the material could be Crayton 7705 polymer. In other embodiments, the skirt may be manufactured from other materials. Theskirt 114 may be constructed such that thecover 100 can be repeatedly removed from and remounted to tobacco cans without being permanently deformed. In this manner, the cover may be made reusable. - Referring now to
FIG. 3 illustrating the bottom perspective view of thecover 100, therim 112 includes aflange portion 122 that protrudes radially inwardly. Theflange 122 is configured to sit on thetop edge 56 of the can 50 (seeFIGS. 2 and 6 ) when theskirt 114 is slid over theouter surface 62. Theflange 122 is generally of the same thickness as thetop edge 56 of thecan 50 and sits flush with theinner surface 60 of thesidewall 58 of the can when thecover 100 is mounted on. Along with theskirt 114, theflange 122 is adapted to provide an improved seal between the conventional tobacco can 50 and thecover 100 to preserve the freshness of the tobacco product 40 (seeFIG. 6 ) inside thecan 50. - Referring to
FIGS. 4-6 , whereas theskirt 114 may be constructed from a resilient material to provide reusability and durability, therim portion 112 of thecover 100 may be constructed from a harder material to provide rigidity to thecover 100. In a preferred embodiment, therim 112 is manufactured from a material containing 80% santoprene, 5% polypropylene and 15% fiber glass. In other embodiments, the rim may be manufactured from other materials. By being manufactured from a harder material, therim 112 may be adapted to form a snap-fit interlock with thelid 108 of thecover 100, as will be discussed in further detail below. A snap-fit interlock between thelid 108 and therim 112 assists in preventing unwanted opening oflid 108. - Referring to
FIG. 4 , theopen portion 110 of the top end 104 of thecover 100 includes a raisedportion 124 that extends around the periphery of the semi-circularopen portion 110. The raisedportion 124 is constructed to fit within aslot 126 defined at thebottom side 118 of thelid 108 that extends around the bottom periphery of the lid 108 (also seeFIG. 6 ). The raisedportion 124 acts as an integral washer to improve the seal between therim 112 and thelid 108. - Similar to the
rim 112, thelid 108 is also preferably manufactured from a hard material to form a snap-fit interlock with therim 112 to keep thelid 108 closed. In one embodiment, thelid 108 may be manufactured from Lexen polycarb LS 1111. In other embodiments, the lid may be manufactured from other materials. Thelid 108 includes adownward extension 128 at thebottom side 118 extending around the bottom periphery of thelid 108. Thedownward extension 128 is shaped to fit in and seal theopen portion 110 of the top end 104 of thecover 100. Thedownward extension 128 of thelid 108 includes a forwardly protrudingtab 130 for retaining thelid 108 in a closed position once snapped shut. Thetab 130 presses against the inwardly protrudingportion 122 of therim 112 to create a snap-fit interlock (seeFIG. 6 ). Thecover 100 also includes an external snap-fit assembly 132 to secure thelid 108 to thecover 100. The external snap-fit assembly 132 includes aknob 134 defined on theskirt 114 that interlocks with areceiver structure 136 defined on thelid 108. When thelid 108 is closed, theknob 134 is snapped into a c-shapedgroove 138 defined on thereceiver 136 to clamp thelid 108 shut. It will be understood that the depicted internal and external snap-fit arrangements are two of many different types of arrangements that can be used on the cover to create a snap-fit interlock to securely clamp the lid to the cover. - Referring back to
FIG. 2 , thelid 108 is pivotably coupled to thecover 100 via a spring-loadedhinge assembly 120. Thehinge assembly 120 includes alid hinge hole 140, two cover hinge holes 142, 144 (only the right cover hinge hole can be seen in the figures), aspring 146 that is received within thelid hinge hole 140, and aspacer 148 that couples thelid 108 to thesolid portion 106 of the top end 104 of thecover 100. - The
spring 146 includes aright end 150 and aleft end 152 and is sized to fit within thelid hinge hole 140. Thelid hinge hole 140 is not a throughhole and includes an openleft end 154 and a closedright end 156. The closedright end 156 defines aslit 158 for mounting theright end 150 of the spring 146 (seeFIG. 6 ). In the cross-sectional view illustrated inFIG. 6 , theright end 150 of thespring 146 can be seen adjacent theslit 158 prior to being mounted within. Theright end 150 of thespring 146 is inserted into theslit 158 to stationarily couple thespring 146 to thelid 108 such that thelid 108 and thespring 146 pivot together. The left end of thespring 152 is inserted into aslit 160 defined on aright end 162 of thespacer 148 to stationarily couple thespring 146 to thespacer 148. Thespacer 148 is sized to fit within thelid hinge hole 140. Aleft end 164 of thespacer 148 is inserted into the left cover hinge hole 144. Theleft end 164 of thespacer 148 includes fourarms 166 that elastically deflect radially inwardly to frictionally mount thespacer 148 to the left cover hinge hole 144. Once inserted, thespacer 148 is fixedly clamped to thesolid portion 106 of the top end 104 of thecover 100. Thespacer 148 stays fixed to thesolid portion 106 of thecover 100 and does not pivot with thelid 108. - In a preferred embodiment, the
spring 146 is inserted into thelid hinge hole 140 and mounted to thespacer 148 in a wound-up fashion such that, once thelid 108 is snapped-open, thespring 146 unwinds to automatically open thelid 108. In this manner, thelid 108 of thecover 100 can be opened with the same hand that is holding the container. Once snapped-open, thelid 108 rotates around thespacer 148 as thespring 146 unwinds. Lubricant such as viscous petroleum gel may also be used within thelid hinge hole 140 around thespacer 148 to slow down the pivot speed of thelid 108 relative to thecover 100. It will be appreciated that the depicted spring-loadedhinge arrangement 120 is only one of many possible coupling arrangements that can be used to couple the lid to the cover. Although thecover 100 is depicted to include alid 108 that is pivotably coupled to thecover 100, there could be other embodiments where the lid is not pivotably or hingedly attached to the cover. For example, thelid 108 may be provided as a separate piece from the cover that forms a snap fit with the cover. - In general use, a user of smokeless tobacco may purchase a conventional smokeless tobacco can. The user may remove the lid provided on the conventional smokeless tobacco can and discard it. The user may then mount the
cover 100 to the tobacco can by sliding theskirt portion 114 of thecover 100 over theouter surface 62 of the tobacco can until theflange portion 122 of therim 112 rests against thetop edge 56 of thecan 50. When thetobacco product 40 is eventually exhausted, thecover 100 may be removed from the tobacco can and reused on a new can purchased by the user. Thecover 100 may also be provided by smokeless tobacco manufacturers or distributors as a promotional item. For example, thelid 108, theskirt 114, or other portions of thecover 100 may be provided with insignia or trademarks belonging to manufacturers and/or distributors of smokeless tobacco products for advertising and marketing purposes. - Referring to
FIGS. 7 and 8 , two alternative embodiments of acover - Cover 200 of
FIG. 7 includes features similar to thecover 100 ofFIGS. 1-6 , except that ahinge arrangement 220 for thelid 208 is located adjacent the back side of thecover 200, rather than the “mid-hinge” arrangement provided forcover 100 ofFIGS. 1-6 . With this hinge arrangement, a largeropen portion 210 at thetop end 204 of thecover 200 may be provided. - Cover 300 of
FIG. 8 includes features similar tocovers FIGS. 1-7 , except that ahinge arrangement 320 for thelid 308 is located outside the periphery of therim 312 of thecover 300. Thehinge arrangement 320 is depicted as being mounted to theskirt portion 314 of thecover 300 adjacent the back end. - As mentioned earlier, the two depicted
alternative embodiments - Referring to
FIG. 9 , a cross-sectional view of a smokelesstobacco holding device 500 is illustrated. The smokeless tobacco holding device includes acontainer portion 450 and an integral cover portion 400 with alid 408. The cover 400 of the smokelesstobacco holding device 500 is similar to thecover 100 illustrated inFIGS. 1-6 , except that the cover 400 is provided as an integral part of the smokelesstobacco holding device 500, wherein thecontainer portion 450 is integrally formed with arim 412 of the cover 400. The cover portion 400 of the smokelesstobacco holding device 500 may include features similar to those specified with respect to thecovers FIGS. 1-8 . Since the cover portion 400 of thetobacco holding device 500 does not include a separate skirt portion and is formed integrally with thecontainer portion 450, the container portion and the cover portions of the tobacco holding device may be manufactured from materials of similar hardness. Although the smokelesstobacco holding device 500 is depicted inFIG. 9 to include alid 408 with a spring-loadedhinge arrangement 420, there could be other embodiments, as discussed previously for the covers ofFIGS. 1-8 , where the lid may be provided as a separate piece from the cover portion. - It will be appreciated that many embodiments of the invention can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, and the broad scopes of the invention are not intended to be limited by the specific embodiments depicted and described herein.
