Patent attributes
An interface ring which is the interface between a container and an applicator comprising a circular socket with a plurality of laterally extending protrusions, a cylindrical thread being arranged above the socket, a central cylindrical opening extending through the interface ring in the centre of the thread and the socket wherein the thread presents a plurality of interruptions extending axially from the socket to the upper end of the thread, the interruptions dividing the thread into thread portions. It is an object of the present invention to provide an optimized interface ring. In order to achieve this object, the interface ring comprises deformable vertical ribs laterally extending mostly parallel to the radial axis of the interface ring wherein the deformable ribs deform when the interface ring is mounted on the outer rim of the cup of a valve or by other means on to the container. An interface ring with an increased grip of the interface ring on the valve. Therefore, much higher turning and buckling forces can be reached.
