Abstract
A coupling seal of a container is provided. The coupling seal of a container includes a container with an interior reservoir. The interior reservoir is accessible via a rim about an aperture. The rim includes a number of protrusions. The protrusions are placed about the circumference of the rim so that a containment apparatus can mate with the rim. The containment apparatus includes a surface with a peripheral flange protruding therefrom. A number of arises are provided on the peripheral flange and are designed to mate with the protrusions of the rim. Rotation of the containment apparatus upon the rim causes the arises of the containment apparatus to mate with the protrusions of the rim, causing the container to seal.
Claims19
A coupling seal, comprising:
- a container with an interior reservoir;
- wherein the interior reservoir is accessible via a rim about an aperture disposed on the container;
- wherein the rim comprises a plurality of protrusions about a circumference of the rim;
- a containment apparatus mating about the rim of the container;
- wherein the containment apparatus includes a surface with a peripheral flange protruding therefrom;
- a plurality of arises disposed within the peripheral flange, the plurality of arises mate with the plurality of protrusions about the rim of the container;
- wherein rotation of the containment apparatus causes coupling of the containment apparatus to the container, securing a material within the interior reservoir of the container;
- wherein the plurality of protrusions about the rim are engaged with the plurality of arises within the containment apparatus, causing the container to seal and fortifying the rim of the container;
- and
- wherein the plurality of arises are disposed on the peripheral flange, the plurality of arises are substantially rigid structures which comprises one or more intrusions or extrusions defined thereby, the containment apparatus is rotated on to and off of the rim of the container, and the plurality of arises glide along the plurality of protrusions efficiently and free of any stopping mechanisms.
A coupling seal, comprising:
- a container with an interior reservoir;
- wherein the interior reservoir is accessible via a rim about an aperture;
- wherein the rim having a set of protrusions about the circumference of the rim;
- wherein the set of protrusions having a curvature;
- wherein a lower edge of each of the set of protrusions arises from a surface of the rim;
- a containment apparatus having a peripheral flange with a plurality of arises within;
- wherein the lower edge of the set of protrusions having a surface to contain and couple with the plurality of arises within the containment apparatus;
- wherein a surface of each arise of the plurality of arises mates with the set of protrusions about the rim of the container such that the surface of the set of protrusions and the surface of each arise interlock;
- wherein the plurality of arises are molded within the peripheral flange of the containment apparatus and couple to the set of protrusions about the rim of the container, such that the containment apparatus, in a minimal rotation, is interlocked to the rim via a set of corresponding surfaces selected from the group consisting of at least a plurality of angular surfaces, a plurality of curved surfaces, a plurality of slotted surfaces, or any combination thereof;
- and
- wherein the set of protrusions are angled upward and inward at an end of each of the set of protrusions and each of the corresponding plurality of arises of the containment apparatus is angled in an opposite direction, such as to dovetail each of the plurality of arises to each of the set of protrusions to which it corresponds, coupling the containment apparatus to the rim of the container, and sealing a plurality of contents that pressurize the interior of the container.
