Attachment mechanism for a container
An adapter for a container includes a bracket having an annular sidewall and at least one projection extending interiorly from an external surface of the sidewall, wherein the at least one projection includes a sloped surface.
1. An adapter for a container, comprising:
a bracket having an inner sidewall, an outer sidewall, and a ring-shaped cavity defined therebetween, wherein the bracket is adapted to be attached to a container holding a product; and
a corkscrew-shaped protrusion extending interiorly from an exterior surface of the inner sidewall, wherein the protrusion is adapted to matingly interact with a projection extending from an overcap.
2. The adapter of claim 1 , wherein the protrusion and the projection comprise mating threads.
3. The adapter of claim 1 , wherein the bracket is attached to a container.
4. The adapter of claim 3 , wherein the container is an aerosol container, and wherein a pedestal with a valving structure extends through at least a portion of an opening of the bracket.
5. The adapter of claim 3 , wherein the container includes a pump-type assembly.
6. The adapter of claim 3 , wherein the container comprises a wick.
7. The adapter of claim 3 , wherein the container comprises solids to be dispensed from the container.
8. An adapter for a container, comprising:
a bracket having an inner sidewall, an outer sidewall, and a ring-shaped cavity defined therebetween, the ring-shaped cavity configured to receive a portion of a container; and
at least one projection extending interiorly from an external surface of the inner sidewall, wherein the at least one projection includes a sloped surface, and wherein the at least one projection is defined by a rectilinear member having a flat first end and a sloped surface extending therefrom.
9. The adapter of claim 8 , wherein three equidistantly spaced projections extend interiorly from the external surface of the inner sidewall.
10. The adapter of claim 8 , wherein the bracket is attached to a container.
11. The adapter of claim 10 , wherein the container is an aerosol container, and wherein a pedestal with a valving structure extends through at least a portion of an opening of the bracket.
12. The adapter of claim 8 , wherein the sloped surface truncates a portion of a bottom edge of the projection.
13. The adapter of claim 8 , wherein the projection is adapted to interact with a locking member extending from an overcap.
14. An adapter for a container, comprising:
a bracket having an annular outer sidewall, an annular inner sidewall, and a connecting wall defining an annular cavity therebetween, the annular cavity configured to receive a portion of a container to attach the bracket to the container, the annular inner sidewall defining a portion of an opening, the opening extending through the bracket; and
first and second opposing ledges extending outwardly from the annular outer sidewall, wherein each ledge includes a shelf having a sloped portion.
15. The adapter of claim 14 , wherein the first and second ledges extend partially above an upper surface of the bracket.
16. The adapter of claim 14 , wherein the sloped portions of the first and second ledges are adapted to interact with sloped portions of first and second L-shaped support walls extending from an overcap.
17. The adapter of claim 14 , wherein the bracket is disposed on a container.
18. The adapter of claim 17 , wherein the container is an aerosol container.
