Definitions

  • the disclosure relates to a storage container, and in particular, to a storage jar.
  • a storage jar is a container for storing substances, which structurally includes a jar body and a lid body that are mainly made of plastic or glass.
  • the jar body is used to accommodate stored substances.
  • the lid body is used to cover the jar body. Stored substances may be filled in or taken out when the lid body is opened or removed.
  • the storage jar is liable to be damaged after being repeatedly opened and closed.
  • WO2013043219 A1 relates to a canister for packaging and delivering a product such as, but not limited to, infant formula.
  • This packaging has the features of the preamble of appended claim 1.
  • the canister includes a container and cover.
  • the cover includes a base and a lid with the base including an easy-open sealing material and/or a utensil for dispensing the product and docking station for holding the utensil when not in use.
  • a container with double lids is disclosed in EP 1 495 987 A2 , the container having a container body and a lid unit to close an open top of the container body.
  • the lid unit of the container includes a locking lid which is made of a soft material and has a predetermined shape to correspond to an edge of the open top of the container body, with an opening provided at an inside part and a rim-shaped receiving part provided on a lower end to receive therein the edge of the open top of the container body; and an observing lid.
  • the observing lid includes a transparent cover plate to be placed in the opening of the locking lid, and a coupling part extending outward from an edge of the cover plate and to be inserted into the receiving part of the locking lid. The container allows a user to observe contents of the container through the observing lid.
  • the disclosure aims to resolve the foregoing technical problems, and provides a storage jar which is more reliable to open and close and is less susceptible to damage.
  • a storage jar including: a jar body with an accommodating cavity for accommodating stored substances; a lid body for covering the accommodating cavity; a buckling structure for detachably connecting the jar body to the lid body; and a limiting structure in accordance with the characterising part of appended claim 1 arranged offset from the buckling structure in a circumferential direction of the jar body and cooperating with the buckling structure to fix the lid body on the jar body.
  • the lid body When removing the lid body from the jar body, the lid body may be pushed towards or pushed away from one side of the buckling structure, and the buckling structure is then operated to complete the removal, so that the required travel distance of the buckling structure can be reduced, which in turn reduces the deformation of the buckling structure and the possible damage of the storage jar during opening and closing, and thus increases the reliability of the storage jar.
  • the foregoing structure is also applicable to containers such as food containers and crispers, which achieves the same effect and can be widely applied and popularized.
  • the limiting structure includes a limiting member and a limiting hole for accommodating the limiting member, and the limiting hole has an axis extending in a radial direction of the jar body.
  • the limiting member can be conveniently disengaged from the limiting hole to allow the assembly/disassembly of the storage jar conveniently.
  • the limiting member and the limiting hole are conveniently molded during manufacturing, and the process is simplified.
  • the limiting member has a plate form, and the limiting hole extends in the circumferential direction of the jar body and is strip-shaped.
  • the strength of the limiting member can be increased to prevent the limiting member from being broken, and on the other hand, it can be ensured that the lid body reliably covers the jar body without increasing the number of limiting structures.
  • the limiting member has a plate form, and the cross sectional shape of the limiting member is set to be curved and/or bent.
  • the strength of the limiting member can be further increased, and moreover, varied designs are provided.
  • the buckling structure may optionally include a buckling arm and a buckling portion engaged with each other, and the buckling arm is provided with a hand-held portion.
  • the buckling structure can be opened by pulling the hand-held portion with a finger to allow the buckling arm to disengage from the buckling portion, and vice versa.
  • the buckling arm may optionally be provided with a first hole portion for accommodating the buckling portion.
  • the buckling arm is pulled to allow the buckling portion to be inserted into the first hole portion so as to connect the buckling portion to the buckling arm accurately and reliably, and it is convenient to visually confirm the connection.
  • the buckling portion may optionally be provided with an anti-disengaging convex portion or an anti-disengaging concave portion.
  • the anti-disengaging convex portion or the anti-disengaging concave portion abuts an edge of the first hole portion, so that on one hand, the buckling portion is prevented from being disengaged from the first hole portion under the effect of a static force, and on the other hand, the anti-disengaging convex portion or the anti-disengaging concave portion may further guide the buckling portion to pass through the first hole portion, thus reducing resistance of the buckling portion passing through the first hole portion.
  • the buckling portion may optionally have a plate form, and the cross sectional shape of the buckling portion is set to be curved and/or bent.
  • the buckling portion be conveniently manufactured, but also the strength of the buckling portion is increased, and the buckling portion is durable and less susceptible to damage.
  • the lid body may optionally be provided with a flange which is arranged within the accommodating cavity, a sealing ring is sleeved on an outer side of the flange, and the sealing ring and the accommodating cavity fit together to form a seal.
  • the direction of a force experienced by the buckling structure and the limiting structure is the direction of the connecting line between the lid body and the jar body, and the direction of a force experienced by the sealing ring on the flange is perpendicular to a side wall of the accommodating cavity. Therefore, the directions of the two forces are approximately perpendicular. That is, the force experienced by the sealing ring and the force experienced by the buckling structure and the limiting structure affect each other slightly or do not affect each other.
  • the sealing performance of the storage jar is only related to the sealing ring and is insusceptible to the opening and closing of the structure.
  • the opening and closing of the structure is not affected by the sealing ring, so that it is less difficult to open or close the storage jar.
  • the sealing ring is sleeved on the outer side of the flange, and the sealing ring and the lid body can be securely fixed without any glue, so that the storage jar is sanitary and environmentally friendly.
  • the lid body may optionally be further provided with a first annular groove, and the flange is arranged on an inner side of the first annular groove.
  • the first annular groove increases the strength of the lid body which is therefore less susceptible to deformation during assembly, so that it is ensured that the lid body can tightly cover the jar body.
  • the lid body may optionally be provided with a raised portion which is arranged on a side of the lid body facing away from the jar body.
  • the raised portion is raised towards the side of the lid body facing away from the jar body. Therefore, the raised portion may serve to form a portion for a hand to pick up or put down the lid body conveniently.
  • the raised portion may be designed as a thin shell to increase the storage space of the storage jar. Certainly, the raised portion may also help to increase the strength of the lid body.
  • the lid body may optionally be provided with a second annular groove, and the raised portion is arranged on an inner side of the second annular groove.
  • the second annular groove can increase the strength of an edge of the raised portion, thus reducing the risk of breakage of the edge of the raised portion during opening and closing of the storage jar.
  • the jar body may optionally be provided with an end surface abutting the lid body, and a sealing ring is provided between the end surface and the lid body.
  • the space of the accommodating cavity is not occupied.
  • suitable resilience of a sealing gasket further keeps the buckling structure and the limiting structure from loosening easily.
  • the jar body may optionally be provided with an end surface abutting the lid body, a first turnup is provided at an edge of the end surface, and the lid body is accommodated on an inner side of the first turnup.
  • the first turnup expands the sectional profile of the jar body facilitating the entry of the stored substances into the accommodating cavity without leakage; on the other hand, the first turnup enables an inner side of the jar body to be stepped down from the first turnup to the bottom wall of the jar body, so that the jar body may be manufactured using a process other than blow molding.
  • the jar body has uniform wall thickness, high quality, and low costs.
  • the first turnup does not impede the discharge of substances when pouring, so that the accommodating cavity can be completely emptied.
  • the buckling structure and/or the limiting structure may optionally be arranged at the first turnup.
  • the formation of the accommodating cavity is not affected and the volume of the accommodating cavity is not reduced.
  • the first turnup may further deform to increase the elasticity of the buckling structure and the limiting structure, and the buckling structure and the limiting structure are less susceptible to partial deformation and less likely to fracture.
  • the entire storage jar has a simple and elegant appearance.
  • the lid body may then optionally further provided with a second turnup covering an end portion of the first turnup.
  • the second turnup covers the end portion of the first turnup, that is, covers the top of the first turnup, so as to prevent dust or the like from entering the accommodating cavity through a gap between the lid body and the first turnup, thereby protecting stored substances from pollution.
  • the lid body may further be taken out from a space defined by the first turnup by tilting the second turnup, so that the lid body is conveniently opened and closed.
  • the jar body may optionally be made of a transparent plastic material.
  • the number and quality of substances in the jar body can be conveniently observed, so that it is convenient to estimate how long the substances can last and make a preparation in advance.
  • the jar body may optionally be provided with a first groove in a side wall of the jar body, and the first groove is provided in an outer surface of the jar body.
  • the first groove increases the strength of the jar body and reduces the deformation of the jar body, so that the jar body can be vertically placed.
  • the first groove may optionally be communicated with the bottom wall of the jar body.
  • the communication of the first groove with the bottom wall of the jar body allows the first groove to be directly demolded without having to arranging a complex structure such as a wedge.
  • the cross sectional area of the first groove may optionally increase in a direction towards the bottom wall of the jar body.
  • the cross sectional area of the first groove increases in the direction towards the bottom wall of the jar body, so that on one hand it is convenient to demold the jar body, and on the other hand, a finger may be put in the first groove to lift the storage jar, and the finger tends to move towards the top of the first groove.
  • the cross sectional area of the first groove gradually decreases, and the jar body does not fall off easily from a hand, so that it is convenient to move the storage jar with both hands.
  • the cross sectional area corresponding to the protrusion decreases in the direction towards the top of the jar body, so that substances are conveniently poured from the accommodating cavity.
  • the first groove may optionally be provided in the side wall of the jar body in the thickness direction.

  • the buckling arm 31 In the process of opening and closing the storage jar, due to the fact that it is necessary to tile the buckling arm 31 and overcome the resistance of the buckling portion 32, the buckling arm 31 are at the risk of fracturing after repeated use. In addition, when there are more buckling structures 30, the buckling arm 31 is more likely to fracture.
  • a limiting structure 40 is further provided between the jar body 10 and the lid body 20.
  • the limiting structure 40 and the buckling structure 30 are arranged offset from each other in a circumferential direction of the jar body 10.
  • the limiting structure 40 and the buckling structure 30 cooperate to fix the lid body 20 to the jar body 10.
  • the limiting structure 40 and the buckling structure 30 being arranged offset from each other in the circumferential direction of the jar body 10 means that the limiting structure 40 and the buckling structure 30 are arranged at an outer edge of the jar body 10 and do not overlap, thus the limiting structure 40 and the buckling structure 30 can fixedly connect the lid body 20 to the jar body 10. Because the jar body 10 may have various shapes, the limiting structure 40 and the buckling structure 30 are not necessarily located on opposite sides of the jar body 10.
  • the direction of rotation around the axis on an periphery of the jar body 10 is the circumferential direction of the jar body 10
  • the direction of a vertical connecting line of the periphery of the jar body 10 and the axis is the radial direction of the jar body 10.
  • the limiting structure 40 and the buckling structure 30 are preferably arranged on opposite sides of the jar body 10 in the thickness direction, so that the number of the limiting structures 40 and the number of the buckling structures 30 are reduced.
  • the limiting structure 40 includes a limiting member 41 and a limiting hole 42 for accommodating the limiting member 41, and the limiting hole 42 has an axis extending in the radial direction of the jar body 10.
  • the limiting member 41 is conveniently disengaged from the limiting hole 42 to facilitate the disassembling of the storage jar. Moreover, the limiting member 41 and the limiting hole 42 are conveniently formed during manufacturing, and the process is simplified.
  • the limiting member 41 has a plate form, and the limiting hole 42 extends in the circumferential direction of the jar body 10 and is strip-shaped.
  • the strength of the limiting member 41 can be increased to prevent the limiting member 41 from being broken, and on the other hand, it can be ensured that the lid body 20 reliably covers the jar body 10 without increasing the number of limiting structures 40.
  • the limiting member 41 has a plate form, and the cross sectional shape of the limiting member 41 is set to be curved and/or bent, which has the same advantage as described with respect to the buckling portion 32, and it further allows for varied designs.
  • the limiting structure 40 is not limited to the limiting member 41 and the limiting hole 42 for accommodating the limiting member 41.
  • the limiting hole 42 may be alternatively a concave groove, an opening, a hook portion or the like.
  • the lid body 20 when removing the lid body 20 from the jar body 10, the lid body 20 may be pushed towards or pushed away from one side of the buckling structure 30, and the buckling structure 30 is then operated to complete the removal, so that the required travel distance of the buckling structure 30 can be reduced, which in turn reduces the deformation of the buckling structure 30 and the possible damage of the storage jar during opening and closing, and thus increases the reliability of the storage jar.
  • the foregoing structure is also applicable to containers such as food containers and crispers, which achieves the same effect and can be widely applied and popularized.
  • the lid body 20 is provided with a flange within the accommodating cavity, a sealing ring 50 is sleeved on an outer side of the flange, and the sealing ring 50 and the accommodating cavity fit together to form a seal.
  • the direction of a force experienced by the buckling structure 30 and the limiting structure 40 is the direction of a connecting line between the lid body 20 and the jar body 10
  • the direction of a force experienced by the sealing ring 50 on the flange is perpendicular to a side wall of the accommodating cavity. Therefore, the directions of the two forces are approximately perpendicular. That is, the force experienced by the sealing ring 50 and the force experienced by the buckling structure 30 and the limiting structure 40 affect each other slightly or do not affect each other.
  • the sealing performance of the storage jar is only related to the sealing ring 50 and is insusceptible to the opening and closing of the structure.
  • the opening and closing of the structure is not affected by the sealing ring 50, so that it is less difficult to open or close the storage jar.
  • the sealing ring 50 is sleeved on the outer side of the flange, and the sealing ring 50 and the lid body 20 can be securely fixed without any glue, so that the storage jar is sanitary and environmentally friendly.
  • the lid body 20 is provided with a first annular groove, and the flange is arranged on an inner side of the first annular groove.
  • the first annular groove may have the same features as the second annular groove 23 or may be additionally arranged.
  • the first annular groove increases the strength of the lid body 20 which is therefore less susceptible to deformation during assembly, so that it is ensured that the lid body 20 can tightly cover the jar body 10.
  • the jar body 10 is provided with an end surface abutting the lid body 20, and a sealing ring 50 is provided between the end surface and the lid body 20.
  • the arrangement of the sealing ring 50 on the end surface enables that the space of the accommodating cavity is not occupied.
  • it is convenient to replace the sealing ring, and suitable resilience of a sealing gasket further keeps the buckling structure 30 and the limiting structure 40 from loosening easily.
  • the buckling structure 30 and/or the limiting structure 40 is arranged at the first turnup 11, so that the formation of the accommodating cavity is not affected and the volume of the accommodating cavity is not reduced.
  • the first turnup 11 may further deform to increase the elasticity of the buckling structure 30 and the limiting structure 40, and the buckling structure 30 and the limiting structure 40 are less susceptible to partial deformation and thus less likely to fracture.
  • the entire storage jar has a simple and elegant appearance.
  • the buckling structure 30 and/or the limiting structure 40 being arranged at the first turnup 11 means that the buckling structure 30 and limiting structure 40 may be separately arranged on the first turnup 11 or may be both arranged on the first turnup 11.
