Abstract
Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- This invention relates generally to containers for transporting, storing and dispensing liquids. In particular, this invention relates to blow molded containers having integral features for improving the facilities of the containers for dispensing liquids therefrom and to molds for such containers.
- 2. Description of Related Art
- Containers of the type to which this invention pertains are characterized by large body cross sections and a mouth advantageously formed in a neck portion of the container comprising surface features for engaging a separable closure and forming a spout. It is known for such containers to comprise mouths of small cross section relative to the cross sectional area of the container body. In known containers of this type, as liquid is dispensed, liquid at the mouth blocks inflow of air to the container body. Referring to
FIG. 1 , a container in accordance with the prior art is shown in partial cross section. Spout A comprises mouth opening B and is joined to the top of container body C. Hollow handle D connects the rear of container body C with spout A. As the container is rotated to dispense liquid therefrom, when lowest portion of mouth opening B is below liquid level L, fluid flows from mouth opening B. As seen inFIG. 1 with the container rotated to this orientation, liquid blocks the opening of hollow handle D at spout A, blocking the inflow of air to the container. The blocking of inflow of air causes liquid flow to surge as the internal pressure decreases with loss of volume of contents. The surges of liquid flow make it difficult to control the rate at which fluid is dispensed leading to splashing and overflow of vessels into which the liquid is poured. Hence, there is a need for a container that overcomes the drawbacks of the known designs and improves the facilities for controlled flow of liquids therefrom. - It is known to produce containers to which the invention pertains by blow molding. Blow molding is a cyclic process wherein a parison of material in a moldable condition is centered on the parting plane of a mold assembly; the mold assembly is closed around the parison; the parison is expanded so the exterior of the parison abuts molding surfaces defining a molding cavity of the closed mold assembly; the blow molded article is conditioned to be sufficiently rigid to retain its size and shape while unsupported; the mold assembly is opened; and, the blow molded article is removed. In general, the moldable condition of the parison is achieved when the material of the parison is at an elevated temperature, and the rigid condition of the blow molded article is achieved when the temperature of the material has been reduced. There is a need for molds for blow molding containers having improved facilities for dispensing liquids therefrom.
- It is an object of the present invention to provide a container for transporting, storing and dispensing liquids comprising a body having front and rear portions and a spout in the front portion proximate the top of the container for dispensing fluids therefrom having integral features for improved dispensing of liquids therefrom.
- A further object of the present invention is to provide a container for transporting, storing and dispensing liquids comprising a body having front and rear portions, a spout projecting from the top of the container body proximate the front thereof, and a hollow handle open to the base of the spout and the top of the container proximate the rear thereof the hollow handle joining the spout at a handle opening so that with the container rotated to dispense liquid therefrom, liquid does not block the inflow of air through the hollow handle and into the container.
- It is a further object of the present invention to provide a mold assembly for producing containers in accordance with the invention.
- Further objects and advantages of the invention shall be made apparent from the accompanying drawings and the following description thereof.
- In accordance with the aforesaid objects the present invention provides a container for transporting, storing and dispensing liquids, the container comprising a container body, a spout projecting from the top portion of the container body proximate the front thereof, a hollow handle joining the spout with the rear of the top portion of the container body, the spout comprising a mouth opening through which liquid flows to fill the container and to dispense liquid from the container, a handle opening joining the spout with the hollow handle so that with the container rotated to dispense liquid therefrom, liquid does not block the inflow of air through the hollow handle and into the container. Advantageously the spout further comprises a spout throat comprising the mouth opening, a spout base and a spout platform, the spout throat being substantially cylindrical and having a width less than the spout platform, the spout base being frusto-conical and joining the spout platform to the spout throat, the spout platform being interposed between the spout base and the top portion of the container body.

- Referring to
FIGS. 2-4 , acontainer 10 comprisesbody 12, aspout 16 projecting fromspout platform 14 in the top portion ofbody 12, and ahandle 22 attached tobody 12 proximate the rear ofcontainer 10 and joined to spoutplatform 14. As shown,spout 16 is at the front ofcontainer 10 and includesmouth opening 18 and surface features thereon, such asthread flights 20, for engaging a separable closure (not shown) for covering mouth opening 18. The top ofcontainer 10 includesgroove 15 traversing the top portion ofbody 12 immediately behindspout 16,groove 15 comprising the rear sidewall ofspout platform 14. At the junction withcontainer body 12,spout platform 14 has sixsided perimeter 30.Sidewalls 14s ofspout platform 14 slope upwardly fromperimeter 30 towardmouth 18 and terminate insaddle surface 32 joining frusto-conical spout base 17.Spout base 17 tapers upwardly towardmouth 18 and joinsspout throat 19 withspout platform 14.Spout throat 19 is substantially cylindrical (having formed thereon threads 20) and comprises mouth opening 18. The structure ofspout platform 14 andspout base 17 provides a rigid support forspout throat 19, reducing flex to prevent displacement ofmouth 18 from side forces acting thereon such as whenspout 16 is placed-in contact with a stationary object to dispense liquids. -
FIG. 5 illustrates the portion ofcontainer 10proximate spout 16 withcontainer 10 rotated tolower mouth 18 to dispense liquid therefrom.Hollow handle 22 joinsspout 16 at handle opening 24.Handle opening 24 is oriented with reference tospout 16 and located relative to mouth opening 18 so as to prevent liquid being dispensed from blocking the inflow of air throughhollow handle 22. When the lowest portion of mouth opening 18 is below liquid level L, liquid flows over the lower edge of mouth opening 18. As shown inFIG. 5 , liquid level L inspout 16 remains below handle opening 24 ofhollow handle 22, leaving handle opening 24 open and permitting air to flow intohollow handle 22 and therethrough intocontainer body 12. As liquid is dispensed fromcontainer body 12, lost liquid volume is replaced with air admitted through mouth opening 18 and handle opening 24. Hence, internal pressure ofcontainer 10 is held constant and surging of flow of liquid therefrom as known in the prior art is substantially eliminated. Liquid level L is prevented from blocking inflow of air tohollow handle 12 as a consequence of the relative positions of the opening tohollow handle 12 atspout platform 14 andmouth opening 18. As illustrated inFIG. 5 ,groove 15 functions as an internal baffle to reduce sloshing of liquidproximate spout 16 whencontainer 10 is rotated to dispense liquid therefrom. - Advantageously,
container 10 is produced by blow molding. Referring toFIG. 6 , amold assembly 40 forblow molding container 10 comprisesmating mold components mold components FIG. 6 ). In the open position,mold components parison 60 therebetween' and removal of a molded article upon completion of a molding operation. In the closed position,mold components parting plane 70, the abutting faces ofmold components FIG. 6 is a cavity forblow molding container 10 ofFIG. 2 . Parison 60 is tubular, typically produced by extrusion of flowable material through a die (not shown) abovemold assembly 10.Parison 60 is formed as a single continuous tubular extrusion with a length extending below the lowest molding surface of the cavity. With the molds closed surrounding the parison, the parison is pinched closed at the base molding surface and pressurized through the open end at the neck of the cavity to expand the parison material to abut the molding surfaces of the cavity. - Continuing with reference to
FIG. 6 , theportion 41 of the cavity defined bymold component 42 comprises molding surfaces 44, 46 and 48. Molding surfaces 44 define the body of the container comprising a primary cavity; molding surfaces 46 define the neck portion of thecontainer comprising spout 16 and, molding surfaces 48 define the base portion of the container.Mold component 42 comprisescenter section 43 comprising molding surfaces 44,base section 47 comprising molding surfaces 48 and insert 45 comprising molding surfaces 46. The corresponding sections ofmold component 52 arecenter section 53,base section 57 andinsert 55. Each of sections 53-57 comprise molding surfaces substantially mirroring molding surfaces 44, 46 and 48, respectively. - Referring to
FIG. 7 , molding surfaces 58 defininghandle 22 blend withmolding surfaces 44 defining the container body. Molding surfaces 59 define a rear sidewall comprisingspout platform 14. Molding surfaces 58 blend withmolding surfaces 59 defininggroove 15 in the top surface ofcontainer body 12 and withmolding surfaces 46 definingspout 16 andspout platform 14. The blends withmolding surfaces 46 andmolding surfaces 59 definehandle opening 24 atspout 16. The relative locations ofhandle opening 24 andmouth opening 18 prevent liquid level incontainer 10 from blocking the inflow of air throughmouth opening 18 andhollow handle 22. The continuous opening throughhollow handle 22 fromspout 16 to the rear of the container body allows air to enter the container body as liquid is dispensed therefrom, reducing or eliminating surges of flow that would otherwise arise were the outflow of liquid to block inflow of air needed to replace the volume of liquid dispensed.
