Abstract
A container enclosure for removably enclosing a container, the enclosure including a base component and a cap component configured to be removably coupled to the base component. The base component includes an outer shell having a base wall and a cylindrical sidewall extending upwardly therefrom, and an interior sleeve configured to be inserted within the outer shell. Further, the cap component includes an opening and a sliding tab configured to transition between a rearward position and a forward position to open and close the opening, respectively.
Claims18
A container enclosure for removably enclosing a container, the enclosure comprising:
- a base component including an outer shell and an interior sleeve, the interior sleeve defining an interior cavity configured to receive a container;
- a cap component configured to be removably coupled to the base component and defining a cap cavity, the cap component including a cap opening and a closure configured to slidably transition between a first position to cover the cap opening and a second position to reveal the cap opening;
- a gasket disposed within the cap cavity;
- and
- a spring assembly coupled to a lower surface of the interior sleeve,
- wherein the spring assembly is configured to press the container against the gasket when the cap component is secured to the base component,
- wherein the gasket includes a ring seal, a first mouth seal, and a second mouth seal,
- wherein the ring seal is configured to provide a seal between the gasket and a top surface of the container,
- wherein the first mouth seal is configured to provide a discontinuous seal around a mouth of the container, and
- wherein the second mouth seal is configured to provide a continuous seal around the mouth of the container.
A container enclosure for removably enclosing a container, the enclosure comprising:
- a base component including an outer shell and an interior sleeve, the interior sleeve defining an interior cavity configured to receive a container and a plurality of locking features on an interior surface of the interior sleeve;
- a cap component configured to be removably coupled to the base component and defining a cap cavity, the cap component including a cap opening and a closure configured to transition between a first position to cover the cap opening and a second position to reveal the cap opening;
- an annular wall projecting downward from a base of the cap component and including a plurality of tabs extending outward from the annular wall, the plurality of tabs configured to interact with the plurality of locking features to removably secure the cap component to the base component;
- a gasket disposed within the cap cavity and configured to seal against an upper surface of the container;
- and
- a spring assembly coupled to a lower surface of the interior sleeve and configured to press the container against the gasket when the cap component is secured to the base component,
- wherein the gasket includes a ring seal, a first mouth seal, and a second mouth seal,
- wherein the ring seal is configured to provide a seal between the gasket and a top surface of the container,
- wherein the first mouth seal is configured to provide a discontinuous seal around a mouth of the container, and
- wherein the second mouth seal is configured to provide a continuous seal around the mouth of the container.
