LINED GLASS SLIP COVER CONTAINER Filed April 11, 1963 INVENTOR. A 031??? [fi m/[U05 6701/? United States Patent Filed Apr. 11,1963, Ser. No. 272,388 3 Claims. ((11. 21540) This invention relates to containers and is more particularly concerned with a container and cover for sealing the container.
The invention consists of novel construction and combination of parts, which provides a container of simple and inexpensive construction, of neat appearance, adaptable for use in the storage of food products or liquids, and which is economical in space for storage or shipping.
It is an object of this invention to provide a container and a cover which may be easily removed from the container, and which may be employed to reseal the container after opening.
A further object of the invention is to provide a container and cover which has an exterior flush with the exterior of the container body, and means for locking the cover and the container together.
For a better understanding of the invention, reference is made to the drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the container; and
FIG. 2 is a sectional view on the lines 22 of FIG. 1.
Referring to the drawings, represents a container which is preferably of light glass construction. The container has conventional sides 11 as shown in FIG. 1 and a neck 12 which surrounds an opening at the top of the container. The neck 12 is preferably of smaller diameter than the container so that a shoulder 13 is formed where the neck and the sides 11 of the container meet.
A slip cover 14 is provided, which is preferably of thin tough glass having a depending skirt portion 15, and which circumscribes the neck 12 of the container to fit against the shoulder 13. Preferably the exterior of the depending skirt is flush with the exterior of the container walls. The slip cover 14 in the form shown in the drawings, has a central depressed area 17, in the top thereof, and is provided with a handle 18 extending across the top. This handle 18 enables the user of the container to lift the cover from the top of the container.
The interior surface of the slip cover 14 and the interior surface of'the depending skirt portion are coated with a lining 19 of resinous plastic material, so that all points of possible contact between the neck of the container, and the inner surfaces of the slip cover and depending skirt contact the plastic coating to prevent scraping, grinding or contact between the two glass surfaces. This lining 19 is preferably of a resinous plastic material which is non-tacky to the touch, such as vinyl plastisol, which still maintains its plasticity to provide a cushioning elfect between the slip cover and the container. The lining of the plastic material also provides a seal between the cover and the container.
In order to provide additional sealing means for the container and cover, a head 20 of plastic seal-ant is laid in the space around the outer edge of the depending skirt portion 15 and the shoulder 13 of the container, as shown in FIG. 2. This sealant may be any of the standard resinous plastic sealants, such as vinyl plastisol, and it provides a hermetical seal between the container and the slip cover.
A strip of tear tape 21 adapted to cover the sealant 20, surrounds the juncture between the slip cover and the container, to lock the cover and the container together. The tear tape 21, which may be a plastic film or tough coated paper preferably has a tab, extending away from i one end of the tear tape,'to be use-d as a means for gripping the tear tape and the removal of the tape from the container.
The container and slip cover of this invention are preferably of glass, although metal or plastic containers could advantageously use the same type of construction. By the combination of the container and slip cover as above described, thin walled glass containers have broader uses. The container of this invention may be stacked without constant problem of grinding or breaking of the glass edges of the container and the cover, and the contents of the container are hermetically sealed to allow for storage.
When the seal has been broken and the slip cover removed, the contents of the container may be removed entirely or only a portion used, with the remainder in the container for future use. By pressing the cover over the mouth of the container 21 seal is obtained which prevents spoilage or spillage of the contents. The container and cover may be used repeatedly for storage of liquids, and the interior lining of the slip cover will provide a seal which is helpful in the storage of foods or volatile liquids, since a semi-airtight closure is obtained.
The lining of the slip cover also prevents any chipping or grinding between the slip cover and the container when the container is used or reused for storage.
I claim:
