METHOD OF MAKING A 'DISPENSING CONTAINER Filed Sept. 15. 1965 INVENTOR Jw/A/ .5. 14/1456 ATTORNEY United States Patent 3,258,375 METHOD OF MAKING A DISPENSING CONTAINER John B. Ames, Selma, Ala. (Valley Road, Marion, Ala. 36756) Filed-Sept. 15, 1965, Ser. No. 487,474 4 Claims. (Cl. 156-69) This application is a continuation-in-part of my copending application Serial No. 319,450 filed October 28', 1963, and the invention relates to a method of making a dispensing container for fluent materials of the type commonly utilized for storing and dispensing condiments, such as salt or pepper, or any powdered material.
Heretofore disposable dispensing containers of the type produced by the method of this invention have been utilized and since such containers are only used until the contents thereof are exhausted and then discarded, the cost of such containers must be maintained at a minimum in order to render the same practical. Containers of this type usually include an elongated cylindrical body of cardboard, plastic or the like, having a closure at the lower end and a dispensing top at the upper end, such top usually including a disk fixed within the upper end of the container, such disk hav ng an offcenter dispensing aperture and a second disk in engagement with the upper surface of the first disk and rotatably received in the upper end of the container. The second disk is also provided with an off-center dispensing aperture which may be aligned with the aperture 1n the first disk to permit dispensing of the contents or moved out of alignment therewith to close the container. Numerous methods have been utilized for maintaining the inner or first disk in position in the container and these methods have included rolling a bead into a wall of the container to secure the inner disk in place and in one of the more popular of these containers now in use a separate sleeve is provided within the container to support the inner disk therein. Both of these methods are relatively costly and accordingly, any method whlch will satisfactorily secure the inner disk in place and at a lower cost represents a material step forward in the art.
It is accordingly the object of this invention to provide a method of making a disposable dispensing container of the type including a cylindrical body having a more or less conventional dispensing top including an inner disk fixed in the container and an outer rotatable disk which method serves to secure the inner and outer disks in position in the body of the container While eliminating the need for utilizing a supporting sleeve within the container, or a bead rolled in the side wall of the container.
A furtherobject of the invention is the provision of a method of making a disposable dispensing container of the type including a cylindrical body having a more or less conventional dispensing top including an inner disk fixed in the container and an outer rotatable disk, such method serving to eliminate certain components heretofore necessary in this type of container and also serving to reduce the number of assembly .steps to a minimum.
Further objects and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following description takenin conjunction with the accompanying drawings wherein:
FIGURE 1 is a longitudinal sectional view showing the first step in the method of this invention;
FIGURE 2 a longitudinal sectional view showing the second step in the method;
FIGURE 3 a longitudinal sectional view showing the third step in the method;
ice
FIGURE 4 a longitudinal sectional view showing the container and closure after the third step of the method and also showing in elevation a glue applying head prior to insertion of the head into the container;
FIGURE 5 a longitudinal sectional view showing the manner of inserting the glue applying head into the container and also the step of applying the glue at spaced locations around the periphery of the inner disk comprising a portion of the dispensing closure; and
FIGURE 6 a sectional view taken substantially on the line 66 of FIGURE 5 and showing the dispensing closure in the container after completion of the method of this invention.
With continued reference to the drawing, and particularly FIGURES 5 and 6, the dispensing container produced by the method of this invention may well comprise an elongated tubular cylindrical body 10 which may be of cardboard, plastic or any other suitable material in one end of which there is secured an inner disk 11 having an off-center dispensing aperture 12 therein with the inner disk 11 being secured in place in the body 10 by glue or other suitable adhesive applied at angularly spaced points 13 around the periphery of the disk 11 with the glue being applied to both the inner surface of the disk 11 and the side wall of the body 10 to fix the disk 11 in place therein.
An outer disk 14 is disposed in the body 10 outwardly of the inner disk 11 and while the inner disk 11 is a tight fit in the body 10 the outer disk 14 is a relatively loose fit in order that the same may be conveniently rotated within the body 10. The outer disk 14 is re tained in position in engagement with the outer surface of the inner disk 11 by an inwardly projecting head 15 which may be formed by crimping the edge of the container body 10. The outer disk 14 is also provided with an ofif-center dispensing aperture 16 and with a diametrically disposed finger engaging rib 17 which may be conveniently utilized for rotating the outer disk 14 to bring the aperture 16 therein into alignment with the aperture 12 in the inner disk 11 to permit dispensing of the contents of the container. If desired additional apertures 18 may be provided in the outer disk 14 as shown in dotted lines in FIGURE 6.
In carrying out the method of this invention, the first step thereof as shown in FIGURE 1 consists of disposing the body 10 of the container in a vertical position and inserting the tightly fitting inner disk 11 within the lower end of the container to a point spaced from the lower end 19 of the body 10. If desired the inner disk 11 may be formed of cardboard, or other suitable material and such disk may be die-cut and simultaneously inserted into the container body 10. The second step of the invention as shown in FIGURE 2 consists in inserting the outer loosely fitting disk 14 into the lower end of the container, outwardly of the inner disk 11 and in engagement with the outer surface thereof. The third step of the method as shown in FIGURE 3 consists of crimping at the lower end 19 of the container body 10 inwardly to provide an inwardly projecting bead 15 which engages the outer surface of the outer disk 14 adjacent to periphery thereof and operatesto maintain the outer disk 14 in position in the body 10 while permitting rotation thereof with respect to the inner disk 11.
With particular reference to FIGURES 4 and 5, there is shown a glue applying head 20 mounted on the lower end of a tubular member 21 which in turn is supported from a cross head or other suitable member 22 which may be operated to move the head 20 vertically into and out of the container body 10. The particular apparatus utilized to operate the cross head 22 forms no part of the instant invention and consequently no shoring or description thereof is Considered necessary since the same comprises a conventional, mechanical expedient. The glue applying head 20 is provided adjacent the periphery thereof with a plurality of angularly spaced nozzles or spray openings 23 through which glue may be ejected with a glue or other suitable adhesives being supplied to the head 20 through the tubular member 21.
After completion of step 3 of the method as shown in FIGURE 3 the container body 10 together with the inner and outer disks 11 and 14 in position therein, is positioned below the glue applying head 20 and thereafter as shown in FIGURE 5 the glue applying head 20 is moved downwardly into the container body into close proximity with the upper or inner surface of the inner disk 11 and at this time glue is ejected through the nozzles or aperture 23 in the head 20 onto the inner surface of the inner disk 11 at the inner surface of the side wall of the container 10 to apply such glue at angularly spaced points at around the periphery of the inner disk 11 as shown at 13 in FIGURES 5 and 6. If desired the glue applying head 20 may be moved into actual contact with the inner disk 11 to hold the same in firm engagement with the inner surface of the outer disk 14 during the operation of applying glue to the inner disk. The glue applied at space points 13 together with the head 15 will operate to maintain the inner and outer disk 11 and 14 in position in the container body 10 with the outer disk 14 free to rotate to open or close the dispensing apertures.
After completion of the glue applying operation, the glue applying head is, of course, moved upwardly out of the container body 10 and thereafter the container may be filled with the desired material and at the upper end thereof closed in any suitable or desirable manner.
It will be seen that bythe above described invention there has been provided an extremely simple yet highly effective method of assembling a dispensing container of the type described and this method serves to eliminate the necessity for certain parts or elements heretofore utilized in containers of this type, and also operates to reduce the assembling operations and particularly any manual operations to a minimum, thereby contributing to the low cost of manufacture of the container.
It will be obvious to those skilled in the art hat various changes may be made in the invention without departing from the spirit and scope thereof and therefore the invention is not limited by that which is shown in the drawing and described in the specification, but only as indicated in the appended claims.
