Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a container for food storage, in particular
to a sealed food can with time setting device.
Background Art
Sealed cans for food storage are common daily necessities in life. The
food in cans can be isolated from the outside air effectively thanks to the sealing
connection between the can body and the sealing cover so as to achieve the purposes
of moisture-proof, insect-proof and anti-oxidation, and avoid deterioration of food
stored in a certain period of time.
Food has shelf life and is easy to be infested with insects and mildew
after long-term storage. Mildew will produce a large quantity of strong carcinogens
aflatoxin, which will endanger the consumer's health seriously. Therefore, food
should be discarded when its expiration date elapses and should be eaten within its
shelf life to avoid waste of resources caused by discard expired food.
However, the current sealed cans for storage have relatively simple
structure and single function, normally with the only basic function of sealing and
storing, and have no device for reminding storage time. In daily life, when a plurality
of sealed cans are concurrently used, and the food in each sealed can is usually not put
in simultaneously, it is easy for a user to forget when food is stored and the expiration
time thereof, thus it is likely for people to eat the expired food because of forgetting or
negligence, which will endanger people's health.
In order to cope with the expiration problem of food storage, some people
use date sticker for marking, which is relatively troublesome in real operation, and the
sticker will fall off if not firmly attached. When replacing food, it is necessary to
change stickers at the same time, while it may be troublesome to remove old stickers,
after which adhesive residues may sometimes be left. This will not only affect the
cleanliness and aesthetics of sealed cans, but also cause certain pollution to food due to the toxicity of the adhesives if not operated properly.
In view of the above problems, the present invention provides a sealed
food can with time setting device for setting the time at which food is stored or
expiration time of the food, so that people can accurately get to know the storage and
expiration time of the food. The device is simple in structure, intuitive in display and
convenient in use.
In order to achieve the above purpose, a sealed food can with time setting
device comprises a can body and a sealing cover is provided, wherein the sealing
cover is sealingly connected with the can body through a plurality of locks on the
periphery of the cover body. A time setting device is arranged on the can body, on the
sealing cover or on the lock, and the time setting device comprises a sliding rail and
an indicating slider, the indicating slider being slidable left and right along the sliding rail. A plurality of date marks configured at equal intervals is arranged beside the
sliding rail, and the indicating slider is provided with an indicating tip on the side
corresponding to the date marks. Moving of the indicating slider along the sliding rail
can make the indicating tip correspond to one of the date marks.
The sliding rail may be a track with a T-shaped cross section, the
indicating slider is an inverted U-shaped body, and two inner protrusions are
oppositely arranged on both sides of the bottom of the U-shaped cavity of the
indicating slider to be engaged and connected with the sliding rail.
A positioning device may be arranged between the sliding rail and the
indicating slider to facilitate the indicating slider being adjusted in place.
The positioning device may comprise a row of positioning grooves
configured at equal intervals on the back of the sliding rail and positioning protrusions
arranged in the U-shaped cavity of the indicating slider. The number and position of
the positioning grooves correspond one-to-one with that of the date marks, and the
positioning protrusions may be just engaged with a corresponding positioning groove
when the indicating slider moves in place.
The positioning device may comprise a row of positioning protrusions configured at equal intervals on the back of the sliding rail and positioning grooves arranged in the U-shaped cavity of the indicating slider. The number and position of the positioning protrusions correspond one-to-one with that of the date marks, and the positioning grooves may be just engaged with a corresponding positioning protrusion when the indicating slider moves in place. The top of the indicating slider may be provided with protrusive stripes to enhance friction with finger. The lock and the sealing cover are integrally formed or separately arranged, and in case of separately arranged, both sides of the tail portion of the lock are movably hinged with the connecting base at the periphery of the sealing cover through a pin shaft. Barbs may be arranged on the inner side of the lower portion of the lock so as to be engaged and connected with the lower portion of the connecting protrusion on the can body when the whole lock is turned down. The head of the barb may be provided with a plurality of arc protrusions upward. The bottom of the lock may be provided with a protrusive wrench downward which is convenient for fingers to exert force when pulling the lock. A sealing groove may be arranged at the contact portion between the sealing cover and the periphery of the can body, and a sealing ring may be arranged in
the sealing groove. The time setting device on the sealed food can with the above structure can be used to set the storage time or expiration date for food storage. When the sealed food cans are in use, people just need to put the food into the cans and then move the indicating slider to make its indicating tip point to the specific storage date or expiration date, which reminds the user in an intuitive, vivid and eye-catching marking way to avoid eating expired food by mistake in case of forgetting the expiration time or negligence. The sealed food can is simple in structure and practical.

The present invention will be further described in detail with respect to
embodiments thereof in conjunction with the accompanied drawings.
As shown in Fig. 1 to Fig. 5, a sealed food can with time setting device
comprises a can body 1 and a sealing cover 2. The sealing cover 2 can be in sealed
connection with the can body 1 through a plurality of locks 3, e.g., two, three or more
locks, on the periphery of the cover body. In this figure, the shape of the can body 1
and the sealing cover 2 are shown quadrilateral, and lock 3 is arranged on each side.
The number of lock 3 can be selected according to the size, specification and shape of
the sealed can in practice.
The lock 3 and the sealing cover 2 may be integrally formed or separately
arranged, and the latter is shown in the embodiment as an example. When the lock 3
and the sealing cover 2 are separated, both sides of the tail of the lock 3 are movably
hinged with the connecting base 21 at the periphery of the sealing cover 2 through the
pin shaft 31. A barb 32 is arranged on the inner side of the lower portion of the lock 3,
and is engaged with the lower portion of the connecting protrusion 11 on the can body
1 when the whole lock 3 is turned down. In order to facilitate the flip-over operation
of the lock 3, a protrusive wrench 33 is arranged at the bottom of the lock 3 downward, which can facilitate the finger to exert force when pulling the lock 3.
In order to enhance the engaging effect, a plurality of arc protrusions 321
is provided upward at the head of the barb 32.
In order to enhance the sealing performance, a sealing groove 22 is
arranged at the contact portion between the sealing cover 2 and the periphery of the
can body 1, and a sealing ring 23 is arranged in the sealing groove 22.
A time setting device is arranged on the can body 1, on the sealing cover
2 or on the lock 3. In this figure, the time setting device is arranged on the lock 3 and
is in a horizontal layout as an example, which shares the same structure as in the cases
where the time setting device is arranged on the can body 1 or on the sealing cover 2,
with the only difference in the setting position and the setting direction (horizontal or
vertical), hence description of the latter will not be repeated.
The time setting device comprises a sliding rail 41 and an indicating
slider 42 and the indicating slider can slide left and right along the sliding rail 41.
The sliding rail 41 is a track with a T-shaped cross section, and the
indicating slider 42 is an inverted U-shaped body. Two inner protrusions 421 are
oppositely arranged on both sides of the bottom of the U-shaped cavity of the
indicating slider 42, which are engaged with the sliding rail 41.
A plurality of date marks 43 is provided at equal intervals beside the
sliding rail 41. The style of the date marks 43 is numbers, patterns or English initials
for every day of a week. In this figure, the third type is adopted, that is, letters S, M, T,
W, T, F and S are configured at equal intervals, which refer to Sunday, Monday,
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday respectively. In practice, the date
marks 43 can be set in other ways as required.
The indicating slider 42 is provided with an indicator tip 422 on the side
corresponding to the date marks. When the indicating slider 42 moves along the
sliding rail 41, the indicator tip 422 can correspond to one of the date marks 43, so as
to indicate the time at which food is stored or the expiration time thereof.
The time setting device on the sealed food can with the above structure
can set the storage time or expiration date for food storage.
When the food is stored into the cans, it is only necessary to move the indicating slider 42 so as to make its indicating tip 422 point to the specific storage date or expiration date marks 43, which can provide users with an intuitive, vivid and eye-catching marking for reminder. On one hand, it can urge the consumer to use up the food within the shelf life to avoid wasting resources in case of expiration, on the other hand, the expired food can effectively warn the user from eating by mistake in case of forgetting the expiration time or negligence. What' more, it is simple in structure and practical. In order to improve user experience and convenience in use, a positioning device is arranged between the sliding rail 41 and the indication slider 42 for facilitating the indicating slider 42 being adjusted by a use to move in place at which the indicating tip 422 just points to a specific storage date or expiration date mark 43, and such a position device can also indicate to the user that the indicating slider 42 has been adjusted in place. In this figure, the positioning device comprises a row of positioning grooves 44a configured at equal intervals on the back of the sliding rail 41 and positioning protrusions 44b arranged in the U-shaped cavity of the indicating slider 42. The number and position of the positioning grooves 44a correspond to the date marks 43 one by one, and the positioning protrusions 44b can just engage with a corresponding positioning groove 44a when the indicating slider 42 slides in place. With the above positioning device, the indicating slider 42 can be effectively positioned on the sliding rail 41 after moving in place. Only an external force large enough to overcome the blocking resistance can make the indicating slider 42 move again, thus avoiding a free sliding of the indicating slider 42 in use from occurring and ensuring a proper date setting. In addition, in the above positioning device, the positioning protrusion 44b will make a snapping sound when entering the corresponding positioning groove 44a, which can not only enhance user's hand feeling in operation, but also give a signal to the user that the setting is in proper position, thereby improving the convenience of moving the indicating slider 42 to a certain extent.
In consideration of the stress when a user pushes aside the indicating
slider 42 with finger, The top of the indicating slider 42 is provided with some spines
423 for enhancing the frictional resistance with finger when the finger pushes.
The positioning protrusions 44b and the positioning grooves 44a of the
above positioning device can be interchanged. That is, a row of positioning
protrusions configured at equal intervals can be arranged on the back of the sliding
rail 41, and a positioning groove can be arranged in the U-shaped cavity of the
indicating slider 42. The number and position of the positioning protrusions
correspond to the date marks 43 one by one, and the positioning groove can be just
engaged with a corresponding positioning protrusion when the indicating slider 42 is
tuned into position.
The above are only some embodiments of the present invention, and do
not intend to limit the invention in any form. Any simple modification, equivalent
changes or modifications made to the above embodiments according to the technical
principle of the present invention will fall within the scope of the technical solution of
the present invention.
