Fiberboard Cylindrical Container With Spirally Wound Tubular Body And Closure Therefor
US Patent:
5007579, Apr 16, 1991
Filed:
Aug 29, 1990
Appl. No.:
7/574110
Inventors:
Henry H. Thomas - Rumson NJ
International Classification:
B65D 310
US Classification:
229 55
Abstract:
A cylindrical container consisting of a spirally wound paperboard tube, and a pair of closures for sealing the upper and bottom ends thereof. Each closure is formed of a pair of die-cut paperboard discs glued together over a large common surface area so that the discs are warp-resistant. The discs differ slightly in size, so that the smaller disc can engage the interior of the tubular body in a friction-fitting relationship, while the larger disc provides an annular ring to receive the edge of the tubular body. The spirally wound paperboard tube possesses significant axial strength, so that several containers can be stacked thereon, and also possesses sufficient hoop strength to resist deformation or denting, under normal conditions of use.
