Embodiment Construction

[0022] We have found that the use of a pair of crescent shaped depressions (curved grooves) prevents sliding. Not only do the dimples prevent stacked cans from sliding off the roof of another can, but they also prevent tipping. The crescent geometry of the present invention ensures that instability in both directions on the lid closure is minimized.

[0023] figure 1 A tank 2 of the invention is shown. The package comprises a non-circular container body 4 having a closed end 6 defined by a bottom panel 8 and an open end defined by an opening 12 .

[0024] A lid closure 14 is placed over the open end 10 of the container body.

[0025] figure 1 The fully closed position of the lid closure is shown. Figure 4 The open position is shown. The lid closure includes a fitting 16 engageable around the opening 12 and supported on the container body. Cover 18 is hingedly connected to the fitting. The cover is defined by a top plate 20 having a domed upper surface.

Abstract

A jar (2) for a cosmetic product is provided which includes a non-circular container body (4) and a cap closure (14). The container body (4) features a closed end (6) defined by a bottom panel (8) and an open end defined by a mouth (12). The bottom panel (8) on an exterior surface is formed with projecting crescent shaped symmetrically disposed feet (66). The cap closure (14) includes a fitment (16) engageable around the mouth (12) and supported on the container body (4). A lid (18) is hingedly connected to the fitment (16) and defined by a roof panel (20) having a domed upper surface. The upper surface includes a pair of crescent shaped indents (24, 26) formed symmetrical to each other along opposite edges of the roof panel (20). The crescent shaped indents (24, 26) allow stacking of one jar upon another with good stability. The domed (curved) roof panel (20) distributes force (from stacked jars) more evenly along the cap closure (14). This permits a decrease in jar wall thickness which leads to a reduction in plastic weight.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to cans having a domed lid configured so that one can is stackable on top of the other. Background technique [0002] In general, the term "can" refers to a stubby container with a large opening. In cosmetics, jars are chosen to encapsulate cold oils and petrolatum. In fact, petrolatum jars sold under the trademark "VASELINE" or "VASELINOS" are the main cosmetic jars. Because these packages are chunky in proportion, retailers need to stack one on top of the other to use shelf space efficiently. Stackability is also a desired feature in transporting these packages from the manufacturing plant to the retail store. [0003] Environmental concerns and economic concerns motivate the search for lighter weight packaging. Excess plastic should preferably be removed from the packaging. Often, tanks need to be stackable to save space. A certain amount of plastic is required to make the walls of the tank strong enough for stack...
