CLOSURE DEVICES AND MOLD COMPONENTS FOR MOLDING CLOSURE DEVICES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240025095 titled 'CLOSURE DEVICES AND MOLD COMPONENTS FOR MOLDING CLOSURE DEVICES

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a molding apparatus used to create a closure device for a container. The closure device is hinged and can be tethered to the container. The apparatus consists of a cavity insert component and a core component that work together to form mold surfaces. The hinges of the closure device are positioned below the cap area, and the hinge-connecting areas are located within the cap area and surrounded by membranous areas.

  • The molding apparatus is designed to create a closure device for containers.
  • The closure device is hinged and can be tethered to the container.
  • The apparatus consists of a cavity insert component and a core component.
  • The mold surfaces formed by the apparatus position the hinges below the cap area.
  • The hinge-connecting areas are located within the cap area and surrounded by membranous areas.

Potential Applications:

  • Packaging industry: The closure device can be used for various types of containers, such as bottles, jars, or boxes.
  • Food and beverage industry: The closure device can be used for sealing containers of food and beverages, ensuring freshness and preventing spills.
  • Pharmaceutical industry: The closure device can be used for sealing medication containers, providing tamper-evident features and maintaining product integrity.

Problems Solved:

  • Improved functionality: The hinged closure device allows for easy opening and closing of containers.
  • Enhanced security: The tethering feature prevents the closure device from getting lost or misplaced.
  • Efficient manufacturing: The molding apparatus provides a streamlined process for creating the closure device.

Benefits:

  • Convenience: The hinged closure device allows for effortless access to the container's contents.
  • Safety: The tethered closure device ensures that the cap is always attached to the container, reducing the risk of accidental spills or contamination.
  • Cost-effective: The molding apparatus enables efficient production of the closure device, reducing manufacturing costs.


Original Abstract Submitted

a molding apparatus for molding a closure device for a container. the closure device may be tethered to the container, and may open and close via a hinged articulation. the closure device includes a cylindrical body comprising hinge-connecting areas with pockets formed in the interior wall and defining an inner surface of the hinge-connecting areas, and hinges extending downwardly from the hinge-connecting areas and positioned at or below a bottom edge of the cylindrical body. the molding apparatus comprises a cavity insert component and a core component that cooperate to form mold surfaces to mold the closure device such that hinges are located below the cap area of the closure device, and hinge-connecting areas formed by projections in the core mold component and recesses in the cavity mold component are located within the cap area are flanked by membranous areas.
