Patent number: 8245860Abstract: A beverage container (1) comprises a container body (3) including an opening and a cap (5) to close the opening, the cap (5) or the container body (3) including one or more bayonet threads (57), and the container body (3) or the cap (5) respectively including one or more protrusions (19) arranged to engage with a respective bayonet thread (57) to secure the cap (5) to the container body (3). At least one of the bayonet threads (57) includes one or more stop members arranged to retain the, or each, protrusion (19) substantially fully engaged with the bayonet thread (57) such that the opening is substantially fully closed by the cap (5), until a releasing torque sufficient to overcome the retention is applied to the container.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2005Date of Patent: August 21, 2012Assignee: Threadless Closures LimitedInventors: Peter Antony Farrar, John Hein, Anthony Henry Joseph Fraser, William George Dando

Publication number: 20090139955Abstract: A container comprising a container body (1) with an opening (3) defining an axis (A) passing therethrough and a cap (2) having an upper portion (6) and a skirt portion (7) for closing the opening, the container body (1) having an outwardly projecting lip (4) around the opening (3), the cap having spaced apart inwardly projecting members (8) round an inner circumference of the skirt portion (7) and the lip (4) having recesses (5) in a lower part thereof for receiving the members (8) when the cap (2) is press fitted to the container (1), the cap (2) being arranged so that its circumference is distorted into a substantially polygonal shape as portions of the cap carrying the members (8) are flexed outwards when the cap (2) is pressed over the lip (4) until the members (8) snap fit into respective recesses (5) in the lip (4), the members (8) and recesses (5) being shaped such that subsequent rotation of the cap (2) relative to the container body (1) tightens the cap (2) against the lip (4).Type: ApplicationFiled: November 16, 2006Publication date: June 4, 2009Inventors: Anthony Henry Joseph Fraser, Peter Antony Farrar, William George Dando, John Hein

Publication number: 20080302752Abstract: A beverage container for the storage of a carbonated drink comprising a container body (10) including an opening (11) and removable closure means (12) for closing the opening (11), the closure means comprising a foil (20) which provides a gas tight seal for the opening (11). The arrangement may be such that a tendency of forces acting on the foil (20) due to pressure within the container to separate the foil (20) from the container body (10) by peeling away therefrom is reduced e.g. by the provision of a collar (12A) to limit deflection of the foil (20) adjacent the bond therebetween and/or by the shape of the rim (15) of the container body (10), so the closure is capable of withstanding higher internal pressures than would otherwise be the case.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 23, 2005Publication date: December 11, 2008Applicant: DUBOIS LIMITEDInventors: Peter Antony Farrar, John Hein, Anthony Henry Joseph Fraser, Mark Rupert John Marriott, William George Dando
