Abstract
The present invention relates to containers, and more specifically, to plastic containers. The containers described herein may be applied to any use, but they are particularly useful for storing paint.
Description
- This application is a continuation under 37 C.F.R. 1.53(b) of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/547,249 filed Apr. 11, 2000, which application is incorporated herein by reference.
- The present invention relates to containers, and more specifically, to plastic containers. The containers described herein may be applied to any use, but they are particularly useful for storing paint, varnish, stain and the like. The containers of the invention will be described in connection with the use of storing paint with the understanding that the container has other usages, such as storing food or other contents.
- Paint is conventionally stored and sold in metal cans which have an upper edge with a groove in which an annular edge of a metal cover is secured by a press fit. The cover is typically removed by prying an edge of the cover upwardly out of engagement with the can edge so that the stored paint can be used. The cover is usually pried upwardly with a screwdriver or other pointed device. The cover can be resecured onto the can by press fit, typically by striking the lid with a solid object, such as a hammer. Because the paint frequently fills the groove of the can, striking the lid with a hammer oftentimes causes the paint to spray outwards. Further, any paint that remains in the groove prevents a tight securing of the cover.
- Paint has generally been stored in round metal containers because the density and weight of paint has been too great for polymeric-based containers to contain and because of a reactivity of the paint with polymeric containers. Round-shaped cans have been used to store paint because it has been difficult to fabricate metal containers with symmetries that are not round.
- Notwithstanding the widespread use of round metal cans as containers for paint, the use of those cans has been expensive and wasteful with respect to storage and transport. For example, round metal cans cannot be positioned efficiently. Further, round metal cans add significant weight to the paint product. Round metal cans are typically difficult to open and close, and round metal cans are difficult to carry. Round metal cans are also easily be dented. Moreover, problems are associated with reclosing the round metal can after use since paint has most likely filled the channel groove portion of the can which receives the standard lid, resulting in spray, spillage and disrupted resealing.
- Efforts have been made to utilize paint containers manufactured from materials other than paint. For example, plastic paint containers are reported in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,938,686; 4,453,647; 4,530,442; 4,548,332; 4,619,373; 4,655,363; 5,303,839; and 5,975,346. However, a need still exists for a paint container that can be easily and efficiently transported, stored, positioned, opened, closed and carried by hand. In securing the cover in position, it is important that the cover is both securely attached and readily removed when desired. Further, the container should be designed not only to store the paint, but also to prevent undesired escape of the paint, to prevent the ingress of dust, moisture or other materials into the container, to allow opening without special tools and to allow tight resealing.
- One embodiment of the present invention includes a polymeric container. The polymeric container comprises a main body. The main body includes a neck portion, a bottom portion and a handle portion. The bottom portion defines a lug. One other embodiment further includes a lid positionable over the neck. The lid defines indentations capable of receiving lugs from another polymeric container. In another embodiment, the main body defines an indentation capable of receiving one or more lugs.
- Another embodiment includes a method for stacking containers. The method comprises providing a first container comprising a main body with a bottom portion. The bottom portion defines one or more lugs. A second container is also provided. The second container comprises a main body that defines an indentation and a bottom portion. The bottom portion defines one or more lugs. The first container is stacked on the second container so that the lug of the first container is seated within the indentation of the second container.
- One other embodiment of the present invention includes a method for stacking containers. The method comprises providing a first container with a main body that includes a bottom portion. The bottom portion defines one or more lugs. The method also comprises providing a second container and a lid positioned on the container. The lid defines an indentation. The first container is stacked on the second container so that the lug of the first container is seated within the indentation on the lid.

FIG. 6 b is a top plan view of a top portion of one embodiment of the container of the present invention wherein the main body defines a plurality of discrete indentations. -
FIG. 6 c is a top plan view of one embodiment of a container and lid of the present invention wherein an indentation is defined by the lid. - One embodiment of the container of the present invention, illustrated generally at 10 in
FIG. 1 , includes amain body 12 with a generally parallelpiped shape and alid 14 attachable to themain body 12 at aneck 24. Themain body 12 comprises theneck 24, ahandle 16, and abottom portion 18 with anannular lug 20 and acentral indentation 22. Although the container depicted represents a paint volume content of approximately one gallon, the container is readily manufactured in different sizes. The container of the present invention is not limited to any one volume or dimension. - The container of the present invention includes a number of features that render the container more easily and efficiently stored and transported than conventional containers, such as round metal paint containers. One of these features is the symmetry of the main body. The main body of the container of the present invention is a parallelpiped that permits the container to be transported with a minimum of free space. Straight sidewalls of adjacent containers are alignable with each other, as is shown at 3 in
FIG. 2 . The container of the present invention also includes a number of features that render the container more easily and efficiently opened and closed than conventional containers. - The container of the
present invention 10 includes aunitary handle 16 that forms indentations forfingers 26 that enable a user to more easily carry thecontainer 10. One embodiment of thecontainer 10 includes anannular lug 20 that permits more stable stacking of thecontainer 10. In particular, thelug 20 is insertable in anannular groove 28 defined within one embodiment of thelid 14. - The shape of the
lug 20 can be varied for other container embodiments. For example, the lug may be a continuous annular lug, such as is shown at 20 inFIG. 5 a or may be a discrete lug such as is shown at 50 inFIG. 5 b. The lug may also be asingle lug 52 positioned in a central region of the bottom of the container, as shown inFIG. 5 c. Although four lugs are shown, inFIG. 5 b, it is understood that more or fewer lugs are suitable for use. Thelugs - The shape of the
groove 28 defined is of a shape that permits the stacking of the containers and that permits receipt of thelug 20. This shape is an annular shape for receipt ofannular lug 20 as shown at 60 inFIG. 6 a. Thegroove 60 is defined by the container main body. The shape of the groove or indentation is discrete, as shown at 62 inFIG. 6 b, for receipt ofdiscrete lugs 50. Thediscrete indentations 62 are also positioned within the main body of the container. In one other embodiment shown inFIG. 6 c, theindentation 64 is in alid 62. The indentation receives thelug 52. - The
unitary handle 16 also creates a modular shape for thecontainer 10 that renders the container more efficient to store. Thehandle 16 may be hollow or solid. Thehandle 16 is, for some embodiments, integral with the main body. - One lid embodiment is illustrated generally at 14 in
FIG. 3 . Thelid 14 comprises two turning mechanisms, acentral mechanism 32 andindentations 34. The central mechanism comprises aunitary band 36 that allows thelid 14 to be moved in clockwise and a counter clockwise directions. Theband 36 has an elevation that permits fingers of a user to be placed below theband 36 to turn thelid 14. The band formsindentations 40 for fingers that enable the user to more easily carry, open and close the container. Theindentations 34 are positioned and sized to enable a user to grasp thelid 14 and to turn thelid 14 clockwise and counter clockwise. Thelid 14 of the present invention is configured to enable individuals with “stiff” fingers to use and to turn with relative ease. Thelid 14 is sealed to thecontainer 12 by an o-ring 38. Thelid 14 defines threading 42, and theneck 24 defines threading 44, so that the threadings 42 and 44 are capable of interacting to attach thelid 14 to themain body 12. - The container of the present invention is fabricated from a polymeric material such as polypropylene with methods well known to the art worker. The handle is for some embodiments filled and for other embodiments hollow.
- For some embodiments, the container is lined with a material such as a heat sealable thermoplastic or laminate which acts to contain a material such as paint and, along with the o-ring seal, to prevent air oxidation. Suitable liner materials include polyester, polyvinylidene chloride, polyethylene and the like. Other suitable liner materials include cellulosics, polycarbonates, polypropylene, polyester or metallized plastic sheet material. One liner material is a plastic laminate that includes nylon, polyvinylidene chloride, polyethylene and a 0.003 to 0.001 inch aluminum foil. The aluminum foil is sandwiched between layers of the plastic material.
- In one embodiment, an aluminum foil barrier is laminated to an outer polymeric shell by a thermosealing polycoat. The polycoat thermally bonds the foil to the polymeric material. One polycoat comprises a polyethylene extrusion that is coated to the polymeric shell.
- The container of the present invention is usable for storing and transporting a material such as paint. The shape of the container permits space-efficient transport. The shape of the container as well as the ergonomic features of the lid and handle render the container easy and safe for an individual to carry.
- While preferred embodiments of the invention are described herein, those familiar with the art to which this invention relates will recognize various alternative designs and embodiments for practicing the present invention that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention. All such modifications and variations are intended to be included within the scope of the invention, as defined by the following claims.
