Benefits of technology

[0011] Further according to the invention, there is a dispensing packaging. The package has a dispensing container and a closure. The container has a body wall and a head. The head has a neck and a shoulder. The body wall defines a chamber therein. The neck communicates with the body wall via the shoulder. The neck has an orifice therein and a passageway therethrough extending from the orifice to the chamber. There are two or more lugs extending from the shoulder adjacent the periphery of the shoulder. The neck has two or more intertwining threads extending therefrom and therealong. The threads have a pitch of about 0.15 to about 0.30 inch. Each of the two or more threads have an initial full thread generally in alignment with a lug directional with the longitudinal extension of the neck. The closure is enga

Problems solved by technology

Containers of small diameter are difficult to design because of the relatively small circumference available to achieve mating between lugs and the closure.

Embodiment Construction

[0037] The following are preferred aspects and features of the present invention.

[0038] A preferred slot in the closure can be substantially the same shape as the portion of the lug to be received therein. The slot defines a vertical edge adjacent thereto, and the vertical edge is generally directional with respect to the longitudinal extension of the outer skirt. The slot extends angularly from the edge of the outer skirt therein to the vertical edge.

[0039] A preferred lug defines a flat surface generally directional with the longitudinal extension of the neck. The flat surface is engaged with the vertical edge when the closure is in locking position with the head. In one embodiment, the lug extends from the neck radially outward. The lug is substantially free of contact with the neck. In another embodiment, the lug has a notch therein at an outer portion thereof with the notch bearing a flat surface. In a preferred embodiment, there are two lugs extending from the shoulder with ...

The invention relates to a dispensing tube package, comprising a dispensing container (20) best seen in FIG. 5, having a threaded neck (24) and a shoulder with lugs (32), and, a closure (12) best seen in FIG. 3, with a threaded inner skirt (42), and an outer skirt (40), with a slot (15) to receive the shoulder lug to prevent rotation of the closure.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The invention relates to a package for dispensing and delivering product. The invention further relates to a child-resistant package. The invention still further relates to a closure for a child-resistant package. The invention still yet further relates to a container for a child-resistant package. [0003] 2. Description of the Prior Art [0004] Child-resistant packages have been developed for use in dispensing products deemed potentially harmful to children if imbibed or otherwise exposed. Such packages typically comprise a container and a closure. The closure typically requires mechanical manipulation to unscrew or decouple is from the container. Some common types include push-and-turn and squeeze-and-turn. Such packages have commonly been employed with tubular plastic dispensing containers. [0005] Some squeeze-and-turn tubular plastic dispensing containers have employed locking lugs on the base or shoulder of a con...
