Description

Champignon liquid container

Technical Field

The invention relates to an aromatherapy liquid container, in particular to an aromatherapy liquid container which can prevent children from opening by mistake and prevent the aromatherapy liquid from leaking out while allowing the aromatherapy liquid to volatilize.

Background

The aromatherapy liquid is a common living article for people to work and at home, and can achieve the effects of improving air, pleasurable body and mind, and the like. Typically, aromatherapy is carried in an open container in contact with a carrier (e.g. rattan, flower, cotton rope, etc.) inserted through the mouth of the bottle, and transported by means of wicking action of the carrier towards the end of the carrier outside the bottle, eventually diffusing into the surrounding air by evaporation or evaporation, causing the air to diffuse aroma.

Most of the aromatherapy liquid containers sold on the market are simple in structure, and after the carrier (e.g. the aromatherapy stick) is inserted for use, the opening is kept open and no longer closed. In such cases, although the open mouth facilitates the insertion and replacement of a carrier such as a fragrance stick, once the container is inadvertently tipped over, fragrance will flow out, causing waste and pollution, and too strong a smell will also irritate the human body. In addition, in some cases, the opening of the aromatherapy liquid container is closed by the cover, but the cover is easy to open by children or easy to fall off under the action of external force such as collision, so that the aromatherapy liquid leaks out, and potential safety hazards such as improper feeding and misuse of children are further caused. And this will also cause problems of wastage and contamination of the fragrance solution.

Fig. 1 and 2 show an aromatherapy liquid container according to a first embodiment of the invention. The aromatherapy liquid container generally comprises a bottle body 1 for holding aromatherapy liquid, an outer cap 2 and a safety inner cap 3. Wherein, the bottle body 1 is provided with a neck, and the tail end of the neck is provided with a bottle mouth 8. On the neck of the bottle body 1, at a distance from the bottle mouth 8, a concave clamping groove 5 is provided. The external thread 7 is arranged on the neck of the bottle body 1 below the clamping groove 5. The inner surface of the outer cap 2 is provided with an internal thread matching the external thread 7. When the aromatherapy bottle is not used (i.e. the aromatherapy liquid is not volatilized), the outer cap 2 can be screw-engaged with the bottle body 1, as shown in fig. 2. At this time, the outer cover 2 completely covers the safety inner cover 3 at the outer side, so that the appearance of the aromatherapy bottle is kept compact and beautiful. When using the fragrance bottle to volatilize the fragrance liquid, the outer cap 2 can be unscrewed from the bottle body 1, exposing the safety inner cap 3. Preferably, when the outer cap 2 is not screw-coupled with the bottle body 1, it can be coupled to the bottle body 1 by another coupling member such as a tether or the like, or attached to the bottle body 1 by being inserted into a receiving part provided on the bottle body 1, so as to avoid the loss of the outer cap 2 or other problems related to preservation, facilitating the re-use of the aromatherapy bottle.

The safety inner cap 3 can be in the form of a plug having elasticity, which can be made of an elastomeric material such as rubber. Referring to fig. 4, the safety inner cap 3 has an upper cap portion 301 and a circumferentially extending skirt portion 302. The inner surface of the skirt 302 of the inner safety cap 3 is provided with a protrusion which can be snap-fitted with a catch 5 provided on the neck of the bottle body 1 so that the inner safety cap 3 can be tightly covered on the mouth of the bottle body 1 in a liquid-tight airtight manner.

The upper cap portion 301 of the safety inner cap 3 is provided with a fragrance rod insertion portion so that a fragrance rod as a carrier can be inserted into the interior of the bottle body 1 through the fragrance rod insertion portion and then be in contact with fragrance liquid contained in the bottle body 1. In the illustrated embodiment, the fragrance stick insert is in the form of a number of receptacles 4. Prior to insertion of the fragrance rod, the receptacle 4 is in a substantially closed state, when the fragrance rod is inserted, in particular due to the elastic nature of the safety inner cover, the receptacle 4 will expand slightly as the fragrance rod is inserted through the safety inner cover, and at least a portion of its wall of the hole will closely conform to the fragrance rod.

In one advantageous example of the invention, the insertion hole 4 may be configured as a through hole. Optionally, the fragrance stick insert may be covered by a sealing sheet to prevent the fragrance liquid from escaping through the receptacle 4. When in use, the sealing sheet can be first pierced or removed and then the fragrance stick inserted. The sealing sheet can for example be in the form of a film. Preferably, the sealing sheet is provided with indentations or marks corresponding to the positions of the insertion holes 4 so that it can be easily pierced.

Referring to fig. 3, in a further advantageous example of the invention, the opening of the receptacle 4 is provided with a layer of sheet material of flexible material which is capable of covering the opening of the receptacle 4. The sheet has slits 9, the slits 9 dividing the sheet into sector-shaped flaps. When the aromatherapy rod is inserted, the flaps are separated from each other along the slits 9 and bent towards the bottle body direction to allow the aromatherapy rod to pass through and be attached to the aromatherapy rod.

Preferably, the diameter of the receptacle 4 is smaller than the diameter of the fragrance stick, so that the receptacle 4 is in close contact with the fragrance stick when the fragrance stick is inserted.

Preferably, as shown in fig. 4, the direction in which the insertion hole 4 extends in the thickness of the upper cap portion 301 of the safety inner cap 3 is at an angle with respect to the longitudinal direction of the bottle body. The angle of the receptacles 4 with respect to the longitudinal direction may be the same or different as desired.

In one advantageous example of the invention, the receptacle 4 is configured as a blind hole and penetrates when the fragrance stick is inserted.

In an advantageous example of the invention, the fragrance stick insertion part may also be provided without receptacles, whereas receptacles 4 for the insertion of fragrance sticks are formed in the fragrance stick insertion part by the user with an awl or a drill or any other suitable tool when it is to be used. In addition, it is also possible to provide, for example, scores, material thinning portions, etc. at appropriate positions of the fragrance stick insertion portions, so that the user forms the insertion holes 4 thereat.

In order to prevent the volatilization and/or leakage of the fragrance liquid in the fragrance bottle during transportation and storage, a volatilization preventing pad 6 is provided on the upper cover portion of the safety inner cover 3. In one example, the volatilization prevention gasket 6 can be sealingly fixed to the upper cover portion 301 of the safety inner cover 3, and needs to be torn off before use. In another example, the outer cap 2 can force the anti-volatilization gasket 6 tightly against the safety inner cap 3 when the outer cap 2 is closed onto the bottle body 1.

According to the aromatherapy liquid container of the first embodiment of the present invention, before use, the outer cap 2 and the safety inner cap 3 are tightly connected to the bottle body 1 so that the aromatherapy liquid does not flow out even if the bottle body 1 is poured, when in use, the safety inner cap 3 is exposed, since the protrusions of the safety inner cap 3 are engaged with the clamping grooves 5 to separate them, a large finger force is required to separate them, so that the safety inner cap 3 can be effectively prevented from being opened by children by mistake, and furthermore, since the insertion hole 4 is substantially closed before the aromatherapy rod is inserted, and after the aromatherapy rod is inserted, the insertion hole 4 is tightly connected to the aromatherapy rod so that the aromatherapy liquid cannot leak out whenever the bottle body 1 is inadvertently tipped over.

Fig. 5 to 8 show an aromatherapy liquid container according to a second embodiment of the present invention. The aromatherapy liquid container according to the second embodiment of the present invention comprises a bottle body 11 for containing an aromatherapy liquid, wherein the bottle body 11 is provided with a neck, and the end of the neck is provided with a bottle mouth. The outer surface of the neck is provided with an external thread 17.

As shown in fig. 5 and 6, the integral spin-on cap assembly 12 is removably attachable to the finish of the bottle 11. Wherein the outer cap assembly 12 includes a first cap member 121 (see fig. 7) and a second cap member 122 (see fig. 8). Wherein, in use, the first cover member 121 is sleeved outside the second cover member 122. The first cover member 121 and the second cover member 122 each have an upper cover portion and a circumferentially extending skirt portion, and the upper cover portions of the respective first cover member 121 and second cover member 122 are provided with center through holes aligned with each other. The inner surface of the skirt of the second cap member 122 is provided with an internal thread matching the external thread 17 on the neck of the bottle body 11 so that the second cap member 122 can be screw-coupled with the bottle body 11.

With further reference to fig. 7 and 8, the first cover member 121 is provided with one or more protruding snap features 18 on an inner surface of the upper cover portion, and the second cover member 122 is provided with corresponding recesses 19 on an outer surface of the upper cover portion, the snap features 18 being capable of mating with the recesses 19. The first cover member 121 is configured to be rotatable and movable in the longitudinal direction with respect to the second cover member 122 when not engaged with the second cover member 122. When the first cover member 121 is rotated relative to the second cover member 122 such that the engaging portion 18 corresponds in position to the recess 19, the first cover member 121 can be moved downward in the longitudinal direction, thereby engaging the engaging portion 18 into the recess 19, and the first cover member 121 engages with the second cover member 122 to enter the engaged state. Further rotation of the first cap member 121 while maintaining engagement of the first cap member 121 with the second cap member 122 enables the first cap member 121 to rotate the second cap member 122 in unison so that the outer cap assembly 12 engages with or disengages from the bottle 11 through a threaded connection between the internal threads on the second cap member 122 and the external threads 17 on the bottle 11.

Those skilled in the art will appreciate that although the present invention is not shown, the protruding snap feature 18 can also be provided on the outer surface of the upper cover portion of the second cover member 122, while the recess 19 can correspondingly be provided on the inner surface of the upper cover portion of the first cover member 121. Other snap-fit features can also be used. Further, various snap-fit features can also be provided on the surfaces of the skirts of the first and second cap members 121, 122 as desired.

Further, in one example of the invention, the first cover member 121 and the second cover member 122 can be positioned at a distance from each other and the first cover member 121 can be moved towards the second cover member 122 under the action of a longitudinal external force. This can be achieved, for example, by means of an elastic member arranged therebetween.

The bottle mouth of the bottle body 11 is provided with a safety inner cap 13 which can be made of an elastomer material such as silica gel, rubber, or the like, and is tightly covered at the bottle mouth of the bottle body 11 in a liquid-tight airtight manner. In the illustrated embodiment, the safety inner cap 13 is in the form of a U-shaped plug, the circumferential flange of which overlies the rim of the bottle mouth.

Like the safety inner cap 3 of the first embodiment, the safety inner cap 13 is also provided with a fragrance rod insertion portion so that fragrance rods as carriers can be inserted into the inside of the bottle body 11 through the fragrance rod insertion portion to be in contact with fragrance liquid contained in the bottle body 11. The positions of the fragrance stick insertion parts correspond to the central through holes on the upper cover parts of the first cover member 121 and the second cover member 122. In the illustrated embodiment, the fragrance stick insert includes a plurality of receptacles 14. The configuration of the fragrance stick insertion part and the insertion hole 14 is substantially the same as that of the fragrance stick insertion part and the insertion hole 4 in the first embodiment, and the same features are not repeated here.

Preferably, the diameter of the receptacles 14 is 0.5 mm-5 mm, and the number is 2-20. More preferably, the diameter of the insertion holes 14 is 1.5 mm or less, and the number is 3 to 8. In the most preferred embodiment, the diameter of the receptacle 14 is less than 1.5 mm a.

In order to prevent the aromatherapy liquid in the aromatherapy bottle from volatilizing and/or leaking through the insertion hole 14 during transportation and storage, a volatilization preventing pad 16 is provided above the safety inner cover 13. When the second cap member 122 of the outer cap assembly 12 is closed over the finish, the inner surface of the upper cap portion of the second cap member 122 presses the volatilization prevention pad 16 against the safety inner cap 13.

According to the aromatherapy liquid container of the second embodiment of the present invention, the locking part 18 is separated from the recess 19 before use, and the outer cap assembly 12 cannot be separated from the bottle body 11. The cover assembly 12 can be rotated and removed in its entirety only when a force is applied to hold the snap 18 and recess 19 in engagement with each other. Because such an opening step requires relatively fine hand movements, children are effectively prevented from opening the cap assembly 12 by mistake, allowing the aromatherapy liquid to leak out. In addition, after the outer cap assembly 12 is removed, the anti-volatilization pad 16 is removed, so that the safety inner cap 13 is exposed, and after the outer cap assembly 12 is covered on the bottle body 11 again, the fragrance rod can be inserted into the insertion hole 14 passing through the through holes on the first cap member 121 and the second cap member 122 and the fragrance rod insertion part, and then the use is started. Because the insertion hole 14 is tightly attached to the aromatherapy rod, the aromatherapy liquid cannot leak out even if the bottle 11 is turned over carelessly in use.

Fig. 9 to 10 show an aromatherapy liquid container according to a third embodiment of the invention. The aromatherapy liquid container according to the third embodiment of the present invention includes a bottle body 21 for containing an aromatherapy liquid, an outer cap 22, and a safety inner cap 23. Wherein the bottle body 21 is provided with a neck, and the tail end of the neck is provided with a bottle mouth 28. The mouth 28 is provided with a circumferential flange 25.

The safety inner cap 23 can be made of an elastomeric material, such as rubber, and generally includes an upper cap portion 231 and a plunger portion 232. Wherein the plunger portion 232 is capable of extending into the mouth 28 of the bottle body 21 and closely fitting the inner wall of the mouth 28 in a liquid-tight and airtight manner. The upper cover 231 is in the form of a platform which is positioned above the plunger 232 and which has a diameter greater than the diameter of the plunger 232. In the assembled state, the lower surface of the upper cover 231 closely fits the upper surface of the flange 25. According to the structure of the present invention, the upper cap portion 231 can make the safety inner cap 23 better fixed to the mouth 28 of the bottle body 21, and the plunger portion 232 can be used to seal the mouth 28.

The outer cap 22 includes an upper cap portion 221 and a circumferentially extending skirt 222. The upper cap portion 221 of the outer cap 22 is provided with a central through hole 223. The inner surface of the skirt 222 of the outer cap 22 is provided with a projection which can engage under the flange 25 of the bottle body 21, thereby closing the outer cap 22 to the mouth 28 of the bottle body 21. In the closed state, the upper cap portion 221 of the outer cap 22 is closely adhered to the upper surface of the upper cap portion 231 of the safety inner cap 23 and the safety inner cap 23 is exposed through the through hole 223, and the skirt 222 covers all sides of the safety inner cap 23 and the flange 25 of the bottle body 21 so as to further seal the gap between the safety inner cap 23 and the bottle body 21.

Preferably, the outer cover is an integrally formed, unitary piece. Preferably, the outer cover 22 is made of sheet metal such as aluminum foil.

The safety inner cap 23 is provided at a position corresponding to the through hole 223 with a fragrance rod insertion part so that a fragrance rod as a carrier can be inserted into the inside of the bottle body 21 through the fragrance rod insertion part to be in contact with fragrance liquid contained in the bottle body 1. In the illustrated embodiment, the fragrance stick insert includes a plurality of receptacles 24. The configuration of the fragrance stick insertion part and the insertion hole 24 can be substantially the same as that of the fragrance stick insertion part and the insertion hole 4 in the first embodiment, and the same features will not be repeated here.

Preferably, the receptacle 24 is configured as a blind hole and can be pierced prior to use, allowing the fragrance stick to be inserted through the safety inner cap 23 into the bottle 21.

Preferably, the plunger portion 232 has a hollow structure, and the blind hole is provided on the upper cover portion 231 at a position corresponding to the hollow portion of the plunger portion 232, so as to facilitate penetration of the blind hole.

Preferably, in the case where the insertion hole 24 is configured as a through hole, a pierceable sealing sheet covering the fragrance rod insertion portion is additionally provided to avoid leakage of fragrance liquid when not in use.

Preferably, the safety inner cover 23 is an integrally formed, unitary piece.

Preferably, an awl, a pin or the like, which can be used to pierce a blind hole and/or a sealing piece, can be attached to the bottle 21 to facilitate use of the aromatherapy liquid container.

Referring to fig. 11, in another example, the central through hole 223 in the upper cap portion 221 of the outer cap 22 can be initially sealed by a flap 224. The cover plate 224 is connected to the periphery of the central through hole 223 by a frangible connection, and is provided with a tab 225 on its upper surface. When in use, a user can remove the cover flap 224 by pulling on the tab 225 to expose the central through hole 223 and thereby the inner safety cap 23.

According to the aromatherapy liquid container of the third embodiment of the present invention, since the outer cap 22 is tightly wrapped around the safety inner cap 23 and the finish flange 25, a child will not be able to remove the outer cap 22 from the bottle body 21, causing a danger. In use, a user simply needs to conveniently insert the fragrance stick into the bottle 21 using an attached awl or any other suitable device to penetrate the receptacle 24 to begin use. Because the receptacle 24 is designed to closely fit the fragrance stick, fragrance fluid cannot leak out even if the bottle 21 is inadvertently tipped over during use.

Fig. 12 to 15 show an aromatherapy liquid container according to a fourth embodiment of the invention. The aromatherapy liquid container according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention includes a bottle body 31 for containing an aromatherapy liquid. Wherein the bottle body 31 is provided with a neck, and the end of the neck is provided with a bottle mouth 38. An external thread 37 is also provided on the neck of the bottle 31. The mouth 38 of the bottle body 31 is sealed by an assembly comprising an outer cap 32, an inner cap 33 and an intermediate closure 34.

The upper cap portion of the inner cap 33 is provided with a central through hole 331, the inner surface of which extends circumferentially with an internal thread matching the external thread 37 on the neck of the bottle body 31, so that the inner cap 33 can be screwed with the bottle body 31.

The intermediate cover 34 can be positioned over the upper cover portion of the inner cover 33 in a liquid-tight, airtight manner and covers the central through hole 331 thereof. Fig. 13 and 14 specifically show the detailed construction of the intermediate cover 34. The intermediate cap 34 has a substantially disk-shaped main body, and the sealing portion 341 extends from a lower surface of the main body in a radially outward direction to form a catching groove 342 with the lower surface of the main body. The intermediate cover 34 can be made of an elastomeric material such as silicone, rubber, or the like. At the time of assembly, the intermediate cap 34 is forcibly pushed toward the inner cap 33 so that the sealing portion 341 protrudes into the inner cap 33 through the through hole 331 of the inner cap 33, and the catching groove 342 is snap-fitted with the edge of the through hole 331, thereby allowing the intermediate cap 34 to be closely fitted on the upper cap portion of the inner cap 33. The edge of the intermediate lid 34 is circumferentially provided with a mounting groove 346 capable of allowing a snap tab 332 on the inner lid 33, which will be described in more detail below, to pass therethrough, thereby restricting relative rotation between the inner lid 33 and the intermediate lid 34. In addition, the intermediate lid 34 is provided with a coating 345 extending downwardly from the rim of the disc-shaped body, the lower end flange 347 of which is capable of being positioned in a form-fitting manner in the recess 334 in the upper portion of the inner lid 33 to further secure the intermediate lid 34 to the inner lid 33. Since the coating portion 345 coats the outer edge of the upper cover portion of the inner cover 33, a better seal can be effectively obtained.

The intermediate cover 34 also includes fragrance stick inserts. The upper cover portion of the outer cover 32 is provided with a central through hole aligned with the central through hole 331, and the fragrance stick insertion portion can be exposed through the central through hole when mounted. The fragrance stick insert includes a plurality of receptacles 344. The configuration of the fragrance stick insertion part and the insertion hole 344 can be substantially the same as that of the fragrance stick insertion part and the insertion hole 4 of the first embodiment, and the same features will not be repeated here.

Preferably, in case the insertion hole 344 is configured as a through hole, a pierceable sealing sheet covering the fragrance rod insertion portion is additionally provided to avoid leakage of fragrance liquid.

In the example shown in fig. 13 and 14, the receptacle 344 is configured as a pierceable blind hole. Also shown is a cross score provided at the bottom of the blind hole which can facilitate easy penetration of the blind hole by the aromatherapy stick.

An engagement tab 332 is provided at the upper cap portion of the inner cap 33, and an engagement protrusion 333 is provided on the outer surface of the circumferentially extending skirt portion at the lower end of the inner cap 33. Accordingly, as shown in fig. 15, a boss 321 is provided on the inner surface of the upper cap portion of the outer cap 32, and a bayonet 322 matching with an engaging protrusion 333 on the inner cap 33 is provided at the bottom of the inner surface of the circumferentially extending skirt portion of the outer cap 32.

At the time of assembly, the inner cap 33 is fitted inside the outer cap 32, and the outer cap 32 is rotatable and movable in the longitudinal direction with respect to the inner cap 33. The inner cap 33 and the outer cap 32 are configured to be spaced apart from each other in the longitudinal direction when not in use. At this time, the outer cap 32 moves independently of the inner cap 33. When the outer cap 32 is pressed down by the force, the outer cap 32 approaches the inner cap 33, and when the outer cap 32 is rotated relative to the inner cap 33 such that the engagement projection 332 of the inner cap 33 abuts against the boss 321 of the outer cap 32 and the engagement projection 333 of the inner cap 33 engages with the bayonet 322 of the outer cap 32, the inner cap 33 can be rotated together with the outer cap 32, so that the inner cap 33 is screwed into or separated from the bottle mouth 38.

Those skilled in the art will appreciate that although not shown, the snap action of the inner cap 33 and the outer cap 32 can be accomplished by a variety of other snap features. Further, the engagement of the engagement projection 332 of the inner cap 33 with the boss 321 of the outer cap 32 and the engagement of the engagement projection 333 of the inner cap 33 with the bayonet 322 of the outer cap 32 do not necessarily exist at the same time, but only one group may exist.

According to the aromatherapy liquid container of the fourth embodiment of the present invention, before use, the inner cap 33 and the outer cap 32 are separated from each other, and the inner cap 33 cannot be separated from the bottle body 31. The inner cap 33 and the outer cap 32 can be integrally rotated only when the engagement protrusion 332 and the engagement protrusion 333 of the inner cap 33 are kept engaged with the boss 321 and the bayonet 322 of the outer cap 32 by the urging force, thereby separating the inner cap 33 from the bottle body 31. Since such an opening step requires a finer hand movement, the child can be effectively prevented from opening the inner cap 33 by mistake, causing the aromatherapy liquid to leak out. In addition, in use, the user need only use an attached awl or any other suitable device to penetrate the receptacle 344 to insert the fragrance stick into the bottle 31 for use. Because the receptacle 344 is designed to closely fit the fragrance stick, the fragrance liquid cannot leak out even if the bottle 31 is inadvertently tipped over during use.

Those skilled in the art will appreciate that while the present disclosure discusses embodiments of the present invention with respect to aromatherapy, the containers and seals thereof disclosed herein can be used with a variety of substances delivered and dispensed by wicking, particularly vaporized volatile substances including fragrances and/or active agents. Furthermore, the invention can be used in particular for gel-like substances or other suitable substances to be dispensed in addition to liquid substances.

Those skilled in the art will also appreciate that while the present disclosure discusses embodiments of the present invention with respect to aromatherapy sticks, any wick capable of delivering the substance to be dispensed using capillary action, such as cotton rope, wicking tube, fiber stick, rattan, etc., can be used.

It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that only structures deemed necessary to illustrate the container are described herein. Furthermore, while several examples of aromatherapy liquid containers are described above, all the features contained in the description above or shown in the accompanying drawings are intended to be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense, and various design modifications can be implemented by a person skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the invention as defined in the claims.
