Magnetic Closure System For A Container With A Wand-Type Applicator And Wiper

摘要

A container-closure system that comprises a container (1) without screw threads; a custom wiper (3) that sits in the neck of the container; a magnetic ring (2) that encircles the neck of the container; a custom closure (5) that comprises a handle (5b), a conic section (5g), a wand (5d) and an application surface (4) that depends from the distal end of the wand; an overshell (8) that fits over the handle and supports a metal ring (6). The strength of the magnetic ring for the metal ring is sufficient to effect a tight seal in two sealing zones: between the conic section (5g) of the closure and the beveled surface (3g) of the wiper (3); and between the bottom (5a) of the handle and the custom sealing lip (3a) on the top of the wiper.

主权项

1. A magnetic container-closure system that comprises:
a container (1) that has:
a shoulder (1d) that supports a neck (1b), the neck having a landing area (1f);an internal reservoir (1a) that is suitable for holding a product which may be may be accessed through an opening (1e) in the neck of the container;a wiper (3) located in an opening (1e) of the neck (1b) and comprising a lower opening (3d) and an upper opening (3e) that is surrounded by a beveled surface (3g) and a sealing lip (3a) that extends upwardly and outwardly from the beveled surface; andone or more magnetic elements (2) attached to the neck (1b); a closure (5) that comprises:
an overshell (8);a handle (5b) that is secured into the overshell;a conic section (5g) that depends from the handle;a wand (5d) that depends from the conic section and that supports an application surface (4) on its distal end;one or more ferromagnetic elements secured in the overshell; such that, when the closure (5) is fully seated on the container (1), the attraction of the magnetic elements (2) of the container for the ferromagnetic elements (6) of the closure causes the compression of the sealing lip (3a) by the bottom (5a) of the handle, and compression of the beveled surface (3g) by the conic section (5g).
