Referring to figs. 1 through 4, the embodiment of with gemel container 10 is depicted as and comprises pedestal 12, lid 14 and the hinge 16 that connects base and cover.In the embodiment shown, with gemel container 10 integral body are clam shell shapes, but this not necessarily.For example, hinge 16 can omit, and perhaps, pedestal 12 can be different with the structure of lid 14.Alternatively, pedestal 12 or cover 14 or the both have the non-circular peripheral edge shown in figure, but said periphery can be a circle substitutingly.

Pedestal 12 has neighboring 18, and covers 14 and have neighboring 20.Alternatively, the

periphery

18 and 20 of base and cover is congruent (having substantially the same shape) basically, and when base and cover is closed substantial alignment (just, periphery is aligned with each other in each position basically).Yet in the embodiment shown, congruence is not to be essential with alignment, because the joint of the periphery of base and

cover

18 and 20 is not to form sealing.And

periphery

18 and 20 can be congruence but not line up.For example, they can squint.

Hinge 16 allows cover 14 and opens pivotally or closure with respect to pedestal 12.Alternatively, 14 one-tenths on hinge and pedestal 12 and lid are whole, but it is not to become integral body with pedestal 12, lid 14 or in them any.Alternatively, can use the hinge of pin hinge or other type.

Also be provided with the film guiding piece 22 that is used for distributing the product sheet material 24 that piles up.The structure of film guiding piece, characteristics and annexation will more specifically be described after a while.

Container 10 (in this embodiment for covering 14) has the circle, the outside tapered bevelled outer seal component 26 that limit central axis 28.This taper straight down and the far-end of (shown in Fig. 3 and 4) to the flange that forms outer seal component 26 that stretches out.In other words, said far-end is compared with the position on the far-end that is positioned at the flange that forms outer seal component 26 and is had bigger diameter.

Outer seal component 26 one of is mounted in the base and cover (being lid shown in the figure) with fixing relation, and is arranged at least in part in the corresponding neighboring of pedestal that outer seal component is mounted thereon or lid.In this embodiment, outer seal component 26 is one with lid 14, and as shown in the figure be the parts that homogenous material constitutes.As replacement scheme, they can be parts separately, maybe can in single injection mold, process with a blasting materials.

Container 10 (in this embodiment for pedestal 12) also has circle, the inside tapered bevelled sealing elements therein 30 of qualification central axis (also be 28, because these two axis conllinear when container closure) in this embodiment.Said taper straight up, extend inwardly to the sidewall 32 (shown in Fig. 3 and 4) of film guiding piece 22.In other words, like Fig. 1, shown in 3 and 4, sidewall 32 has less diameter (comparing with the diameter in the sealing area of top corner part below) at the top corner part place.

Tapered bevelled angle shown in the figure only is an example; And if if the material that uses is compared firmly with polypropylene, size softer or more flexible or still less elasticity or packing element be configured such that they have more or less ground flexible or according to the friction coefficient between packing

element

26 and 30, or because of other factors, said angle can change.

Sidewall 32 need be not tapered to the top from the bottom, and the flange that limits outer seal component 26 need be not tapered to the top from the bottom yet.As long as sealing elements therein 30 is taper with the part that outer seal component 26 is engaged with each other, thereby be convenient to make their wedgings just enough to form sealing together.

Sealing elements therein 30 is mounted to another (being pedestal) in the base and cover with respect to outer seal component 26 here with fixing relation, and is arranged at least in part in the corresponding neighboring 18 of the parts that sealing elements therein is mounted thereon.In the embodiment shown, sealing elements therein 30 is the outer top of film guiding piece 22 (it is and pedestal 12 divided portion).In an alternative embodiment, sealing elements therein 30 and pedestal 12 can be one or process in single injection mold with a blasting materials.Alternatively, cover, be installed on packing element, pedestal in the lid, be installed on any one of packing element and hinge in the pedestal or a plurality ofly process by identical materials.Alternatively, they can all be processed by identical materials, and said material need not enough soft to form conventional packing ring.Thereby material can be a rigidity basically.Not deflection significantly when normally using container 10.Alternatively, cover, be installed on packing element, pedestal in the lid, be installed on packing element and hinge in the pedestal any one a plurality of or all can process by polypropylene.

Sealing elements therein and outer seal component are positioned in base and cover and engage with one heart when closed, so that inside tapered bevelled surface and outside tapered bevelled surface wedging are together and form and seal.Sealing elements therein and

outer seal component

30 and 26 are positioned in base and cover when opening with one heart (just as two axis shown in the figure overlap basically) break away to separate inside tapered bevelled surface surperficial with outside tapered bevelled.Sealing elements therein and

outer seal component

30 and 26 sealing or the length of contact from the top to the bottom is shorter relatively, thus when lid 14 pivots with respect to pedestal 12 concentricity depart from very little.Another favourable part is at lid 14 when opening pivotally, allows in hinge 16 on the direction vertical with axis 28, to have horizontal " play " to a certain degree, and it is almost concentric to cover 14 maintenances can and open in 30 minutes at packing element 26 with pedestal 12 time like this.This can realize in the hinge of one through following mode: the narrow cross-section that prolongs the hinge burst; Make the folding part of hinge thinner or more a little less than; Integral hinge longer, similar band is provided; Or alternate manner well known in the prior art.

Alternatively, like what in this specification sheets, limited, sealing elements therein and

outer seal component

30 and 26 are configured to provide moisture seal.Alternatively, like what in this specification sheets, limited, sealing elements therein and

outer seal component

30 and 26 are configured to and can seal again.

Be back to film guiding piece 22 now.Film guiding piece 22 has sidewall or external flange 32 and inner flange 34 (shown in Fig. 4), and inner flange 34 is concentric with external flange 32 in this embodiment, but is not must be concentric.Flange is connected by circular connecting panel 36.Connecting panel 36 has distribution openings 38 and suspends antelabium 40.

Pedestal 12 has specific characteristic, and these specific characteristics cooperate with film guiding piece 22, to be defined for the distributing box of the stacking sheet material 24 in the container 10.Pedestal 12 has: round flange 42; Limit the recessed portion 44 on slope of rising from left to right as shown in Figure 4; And stopper section 46, stopper section 46 is used for the product that piles up 24 restriction desired locations on the slope.Sidepiece at the product that piles up can be provided with additional stopper section (not shown), so that further limit its position.

Fig. 4 is the decomposition view of container 10, and especially film guiding piece 22 is illustrated as separated components, is positioned at its assembling position top.When film guiding piece 22 dropped to assembling position, its inside and

outside flange

32 and 34 received the flange 42 of pedestals 12, and any or two of

flange

32 and 34 engage with flange 42 so that film guiding piece 22 is fastening in place with respect to pedestal 12.This will help film guiding piece 22 accurately is positioned the fixed position with respect to pedestal 12, so sealing elements therein and

outer seal component

30 and 26 will suitably

cooperate.Flange

32,34 and 42 need be complementary; But it is circular need not; But they can be circular, and if necessary, they can limit sealing elements therein and the outer seal component that is similar to sealing elements therein and outer seal component 30 and 26.This is useful for needing inner sealing container or film guiding piece 22 in the outer sealed container as the situation of the lid of container.

In addition, when film guiding piece 22 dropped to assembling position, bevelled antelabium 40 can be against the slope that is limited recessed portion 44, and stopper section (such as the 46) plate 36 that can be connected.This can be used for preventing that the sheet material 24 that piles up from lateral position taking place slide.In the container that assembles; When lid 14 is opened; The user can insert finger through distribution openings 38, and the stacking sheet material 24 of topmost is adhered to finger, and this topmost sheet material upwards slides to distribute the stacking sheet material of this topmost along the inclined upper surface of the antelabium 40 that suspends.This motion can be carried out to distribute other sheet material repeatedly.Sheet material can be edible, for example, and the dissolving sheet material of breath freshening cmpd.

Other distribution means can also be set.For example, can omit film guiding piece 22, flange 42 can further extend with when container 10 is closed against lid 14, and

flange

26 and 42 can be as sealing elements therein and outer seal component mutual action; Perhaps flange 26 can further extend with when container 10 is closed against pedestal 12, and

flange

26 and 42 can be as sealing elements therein and outer seal component mutual action.So tablet to be allocated, capsule, cosmetic muffin, powder, breast frost or gel or other article or material can be placed in the flange 42 and by pedestal 12 with cover 14 connecting panel and delimit.

With reference to Fig. 5-9, show the alternate embodiment of container with child safety feature.In this embodiment; Sealing elements therein 130 is similar in shape with the outer seal component (not shown); And with sealing elements therein shown in Fig. 1-4 30 and outer seal component 26 similar mode effects, seal when pedestal 112 and lid 114 are closed, to form.Yet pedestal 112 has with film guiding piece 122 and cooperates film guiding piece 122 is fastened on the substitutions of elements of its fixed position with respect to pedestal 112.These substitutions of elements comprise a plurality of locating dowel pins 150 that are installed on the pedestal 112, and four locating dowel pins 150 for example, pin are installed on when film guiding piece 122 drops to its assembling position on pedestal 112 in the respective recess on the lower surface of film guiding piece.Locating dowel pin makes film guiding piece 122 keep being in a fixed position with respect to pedestal 112.

The child safety feature 152 that uses is in this embodiment formed by flexible plastic material and comprises locking mechanism (integral body illustrates with 154); And at least one pushing lug (being depicted as two pushing lugs 156 here), each one pushing lug on each side of child safety feature.When lid was closed, locking mechanism engaged so that lid is locked to pedestal 112 with the stop component 170 that covers on 114.When pushing the pushing lug, shown in Fig. 8 and 9,, opens by locking mechanism thereby discharging to allow to cover from stopping part, and this point is specific explanations below.Be provided with spring 158 explicitly with each pushing lug 156, spring 158 is by 156 deflections of pushing lug when pushing the pushing lug.This action makes spring produce biasing force, and when discharging the pressure that pushes on the lug, this biasing force returns pushing lug 156 and causes its initial position.

As shown in Figure 6, child safety feature 152 can be mounted on the base plate 160, and base plate 160 can be connected to pedestal 112 then.Substituting ground, child safety feature can be incorporated into pedestal 112.Pedestal 112 is being provided with notch 162 on every side of pedestal so that when child safety feature 152 and base plate 160 are assembled to pedestal 112, receive each pushing lug 156.When assembling, pushing lug 156 is from the outwards outstanding notch 162 that passes of the sidewall of pedestal 112.

Locking mechanism 154 is given prominence to and is passed the opening 155 in the pedestal 112 and comprise that at least one has the locking part 164 of ventricumbent abutting part 166 (being depicted as two locking parts 164 here).In this case, " downwards " meaning is the direction that away from cover 114 is opened, and need not reference container with respect to its peripheral orientation.Each locking part 164 with engage to the stopping part that extends below 170 (being depicted as two stopping parts 170 here) from covering 114.Each stopping part has supine abutting part 172, and abutting part 172 receives locking part 164 when lid 114 is in its make position on pedestal 112 prone abutting part 166 is locked on the pedestal 112 will cover 114.In this case, " making progress " meaning is the direction of opening towards lid 114, and need not reference container with respect to its peripheral orientation.

In order to separate locking closure 114 and to open container, the user inwardly pushes pushing lug 156 towards container.This action cause each the prone abutting part 166 on each locking part 164 move away from each stopping part 170 towards last abutting part 172 so that locking part 164 breaks away from stopping parts 170.In case locking partly breaks away from stopping part, lid 114 just can be opened.The pressure that discharges on the pushing lug 156 makes each spring 158 force each pushing lug to be back to its outwards outstanding initial position.

Be bonded to pedestal though child safety feature is depicted as, expect that child safety feature also can be incorporated in the lid.In such an embodiment, locking mechanism can be positioned at and cover, and stop component can be positioned on the pedestal.And, though child safety feature is depicted as the container that is incorporated into relatively flat, expect that child safety feature also can be incorporated into the in fact container of Any shape, as long as container uses pedestal, lid and the hinge that lid is hinged to pedestal.

It is the explanation of many contemplated embodiments of the present invention that fwd is described, and this is unrestricted the present invention such as claim institute restricted portion also.
