Container for a brushable coating composition

Abstract

A container ( 1 ) containing a coating composition the container comprising a container body ( 21 ) and a lid ( 7 ), the lid comprising a collar ( 11 ) and a disc ( 12 ), the container body having an opening provided with a screw-thread ( 5 ) cooperable with a screw-thread ( 6 ) on the collar and closeable by said lid characterised in that the disc is formed of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) which is sufficiently transparent to allow the coating composition to be visible therethrough.

1 . A container ( 1 ) containing a coating composition ( 31 ) the container comprising a container body ( 21 ) and a lid ( 7 ), the lid comprising a collar ( 11 ) and a disc ( 12 ), the container body having an opening ( 2 ) provided with a screw-thread ( 5 ) co-operable with a screw thread ( 6 ) on the collar ( 11 ) and closeable by said lid characterised in that the disc ( 12 ) is formed of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) which is sufficiently transparent to allow the coating composition to be visible therethrough.  
   
   
       2 . A container containing a coating composition according to  claim 1  characterised in that the container body ( 21 ) is formed of PET.  
   
   
       3 . A container containing a coating composition according to  claim 1  characterised in that the container body ( 21 ) is transparent.  
   
   
       4 . A container containing a coating composition according to  claim 1  characterised in that the collar ( 11 ) is formed of a mouldable material other than PET.  
   
   
       5 . A container containing a coating composition according to  claim 4  characterised in that the mouldable material is selected from any one of polyethylene, polypropylene and styrene-butadiene copolymer.  
   
   
       6 . A container containing a coating composition according to  claim 5  characterised in that the mouldable material is polypropylene.  
   
   
       7 . A container containing a coating composition according to  claim 1  characterised in that the collar ( 11 ) and disc ( 12 ) are rotatable relative one to the other.  
   
   
       8 . A container containing a coating composition according to  claim 7  characterised in that a vertical lifting force is exerted on the disc ( 12 ) as the collar ( 11 ) is unscrewed.  
   
   
       9 . A container containing a coating composition according to  claim 1  characterised in that the lid ( 7 ) includes a dependent circular surface which is sealingly engageable against the rim.  
   
   
       10 . A container containing a coating composition according to  claim 9  characterised in that the lid includes a pair of concentric ( 19 ,  20 ) surfaces depending downwardly for receiving the rim ( 10 ) therebetween.  
   
   
       11 . A container containing a coating composition according to  claim 1  characterised in that the lid comprises a collar ( 11 ) and a disc ( 12 ) secured to one another.  
   
   
       12 . A container containing a coating composition according to  claim 11  characterized in that the collar ( 11 ) comprises a pair of annular surfaces extending radially inwardly, between which the periphery of the disc is held captive.  
   
   
       13 . A container containing a coating composition according to  claim 12  characterised in that the periphery of the disc ( 12 ) forms a snap fit or interference fit with the collar ( 11 ).  
   
   
       14 . A container containing a coating composition according to  claim 2  characterised in that the container body ( 21 ) is transparent.  
   
   
       15 . A container containing a coating composition according to  claim 3  characterised in that the collar ( 11 ) is formed of a mouldable material other than PET.  
   
   
       16 . A container containing a coating composition according to  claim 3  characterised in that the collar ( 11 ) and the disc ( 12 ) are rotatable relative one to the other.
