CONTAINERS FOR STORAGE OR TRANSPORT OF ARTICLES OR MATERIALS, e.g. BAGS, BARRELS, BOTTLES, BOXES, CANS, CARTONS, CRATES, DRUMS, JARS, TANKS, HOPPERS, FORWARDING CONTAINERS; ACCESSORIES, CLOSURES, OR FITTINGS THEREFOR; PACKAGING ELEMENTS; PACKAGES
Definition statement

This place covers:

  • Containers, packaging elements or packages with auxiliary means or provisions for displaying articles or materials;
  • Methods of packaging which are wholly characterised by the form of the package produced or the form of the container or packaging element used, as distinct from the operations performed or the apparatus employed, which are covered by subclass B65B.
  • In this subclass, groups B65D 5/00, B65D 27/00, B65D 29/00, B65D 31/00 or B65D 65/00 include constructional features of foldable or erectable container or wrapper blanks as well as the containers or wrappers formed by folding or erecting such blanks.
  • Containers, packaging elements or packages classified in group B65D 85/00, are also classified according to the constructional or functional features, if such features are of interest.

Special rules of classification

If an aerosol container comprises both, means for disabling actuation and means for preventing delivery, the document shall be classified in B65D 83/22 and B65D 83/56 even if these means are linked.

Example: US4542837 discloses a dome actuator (10) fitted to an aerosol container (12) wherein rotation of the upper part (14) of the dome actuator raises an actuating member (22) which actuates the dispensing valve when in a fully raised position, i.e. if the upper part (14) is rotated enough. Pressure on the actuating member (22) in a partially raised position will tend to lower it to its flush position with the top panel (24) and thereby will not actuate the dispensing valve. This aspect is classified in B65D 83/56 since delivery is prevented and actuating is not disabled.

The fact that the actuator in the retracted position is immovable, i.e. locked is classified in B65D 83/22.

Special rules of classification

If an aerosol container comprises both, means for disabling actuation and means for preventing delivery, the document shall be classified in B65D 83/22 and B65D 83/56 even if these means are linked.

Example: US4542837 discloses a dome actuator (10) fitted to an aerosol container (12) wherein rotation of the upper part (14) of the dome actuator raises an actuating member (22) which actuates the dispensing valve when in a fully raised position, i.e. if the upper part (14) is rotated enough.

Pressure on the actuating member (22) in a partially raised position will tend to lower it to its flush position with the top panel (24) and thereby will not actuate the dispensing valve. This aspect is classified in B65D 83/56 since delivery is prevented and actuating is not disabled.

The fact that the actuator in the retracted position is immovable, i.e. locked is classified in B65D 83/22.
