As one of ordinary skill in the art will readily appreciate, the embodiments described below are for illustrative purposes only and are not to be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention, It can be deformed. Wherever possible, the same or similar parts are denoted using the same reference numerals in the drawings.

All terms including technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those of ordinary skill in the art to which the present invention belongs. Predefined terms are further interpreted as having a meaning consistent with the relevant technical literature and the present disclosure, and are not to be construed as ideal or very formal meanings unless defined otherwise.

1 shows a sectional structure of a container cap 100 according to a first embodiment of the present invention. The container includes a container cap 100 and a container body (not shown), and a bottleneck (not shown) included in the container body is engaged with the container cap 100 to seal the container. The container cap 100 may be engaged with the bottleneck of the container body (not shown) or only the container cap 100 may be traded separately. For example, in the case where only the container cap 100 is sold separately, the originally attached cap is removed from the bottled water bottle containing the bottled water, and only the container cap 100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention is covered, have.

As shown in Fig. 1, the container cap 100 includes a cap portion 10 and a lid portion 20. The cap portion 10 has a three-dimensional space 105. The three-dimensional space 105 may be cylindrical. The outer shape of the cap portion 10 can be deformed as desired, but the inside thereof can be formed into a cylindrical shape for screw connection with the container body.

The contents (M) are embedded in the cap portion (10). As the content (M), for example, a water-soluble substance, that is, a substance which can be dissolved in water, can be used. Further, a fruit-containing material such as lemon may be used as the content (M). In other words, lemon or the like can be compressed and used. In this case, the container cap 100 needs to be stored in a refrigerator. A water-insoluble substance may be used as the content (M).

On the other hand, the content M can be a liquid or a solid. For example, as the contents (M), powders such as tablets for foaming, powder for orange juice, powder for grape juice, coffee mix or herbal powder can be used. Juice can be prepared by mixing orange juice powder or grape juice powder with water contained in a container (not shown).

The cap portion 10 includes an inner surface 107. The inner surface 107 includes a first inner surface 1071 directly contacting the contents M and a second inner surface 1073 formed with a first threaded portion 103. The first screw portion 103 is engaged with a screw portion formed on the outer surface of the bottleneck portion of the container body to which the container cap 100 is coupled to seal the container.

The cap portion 10 includes an upper end portion 101. The upper end portion 101 blocks the three-dimensional space 105 from the outside. The upper end portion 101 is spaced apart from the first screw portion 103, and the contents M is embedded in the spaced space. A moisture absorption layer 109 is formed on the surface of the upper end portion 101, that is, the surface in contact with the three-dimensional space 105. Powder can be used as the content (M), but the powder absorbs moisture from the outside over time and becomes a lump. Therefore, moisture around the contents (M) is absorbed by the moisture absorption layer (109) so that the powder is not lumpy. As the moisture absorption layer 109, a material that is not harmful to human body and has excellent drying performance can be used. Such a material can be easily understood by those skilled in the art, and thus a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

The lid part (20) seals the three-dimensional space (105) to embed the content (M). The lead portion 20 is slantingly provided in the three-dimensional space 105. Therefore, when the container cap 100 is engaged with the bottleneck portion of the container body, a portion of the lid portion 20 remains attached to the interior of the container cap 100, and another portion of the lid portion 20 is torn Leak the contents (M). That is, the lead portion 20 has one end 201 and the other end 203. One end 201 touches the first inner surface 1071 and the other end 203 touches the first screw portion 103. Thus, one end 201 is still attached to the first inner surface 1071 without tearing when the container cap 100 is screwed into the bottleneck of the container body. Therefore, the lid part 20 does not completely fall off and is not mixed with the water in the container, so that it is harmless to the human body and the stability is secured.

The other end 203 of the lid portion 20 contacts the first screw portion 103 and the lid portion 20 crosses the first screw portion 103. Therefore, And the periphery of the other end 203 is torn. Further, since the lid part 20 is formed in a thin film shape, when the container cap 100 and the bottleneck part are screwed together, the periphery of the other end 203 is easily torn, and the contents M can be discharged into the container body. Here, the lead portion 20 can be made of resin, metal, or paper, and thus has excellent durability. Therefore, since it is not easily broken by an external impact other than the screwing, there is no possibility that the contents M leaks to the outside, and there is no fear that debris will be generated.

Since the lid portion 20 is inclined, it forms an angle? With the upper end portion 101. 1 shows an angle? Between the surface parallel to the upper end portion 101 and the lid portion 20 for convenience. Here, the angle [theta] may be greater than zero and less than or equal to 50 [deg.]. Although not shown in Fig. 1, the lid portion may be formed so as to be concavely opposed to the upper end portion 103. Fig. In this case, a sufficient space for embedding the contents M can be ensured.

Fig. 1 shows the height h of the three-dimensional space 105 and the diameter D of the upper end portion 101. Fig. Here, the height h may be equal to or larger than the diameter D. In this case, since the height h of the three-dimensional space 105 can be increased to some extent, it is possible to secure a space in which a certain amount of contents M can be embedded. The amount of the contents M is set according to the volume of the container to which the container cap 100 can be coupled. That is, since the container cap 100 contains an appropriate amount of the contents M suitable for the volume of the container, it is possible to always produce a delicious drink by mixing the contents M with water. However, it is not preferable in terms of design structure and appearance to manufacture the container cap 100 in an excessively long shape. However, if the angle? Is too large, the length of the lid portion 20 becomes long and the container cap 100 becomes long, which has the above-described problem. Therefore, the angle [theta] in the aforementioned range is preferable.

Figs. 2 and 3 are schematic views schematically showing a method of using the container cap 100. Fig. 2 shows a state in which the container cap 100 starts to be engaged with the bottleneck 50 of the container body 500 and Fig. 3 shows a state in which the container cap 100 is inserted into the bottleneck 50 of the container body 500 Indicating a fully coupled state. In the container body 500, for example, water W is contained.

The container cap 100 can be coupled to the bottleneck portion 50 by turning the container cap 100 in the direction of the arrow, as shown in Fig. The container cap 100 can be firmly coupled to the bottleneck portion 50 while rotating the container cap 100 using the second screw portion 501 formed on the outer surface of the bottleneck portion 50. [ In this case, since the lid portion 20 does not touch the second screw portion 501 yet, the contents M is held in the container cap 100 as it is.

Next, as shown in Fig. 3, when the container cap 100 is continuously rotated, the lid portion 20 touches the second screw portion 501 and tears. Therefore, the contents M are mixed with the water W while being dropped by the water W of the container main body 500 through the tear gaps. On the other hand, since the one end 201 (shown in Fig. 1) of the lid portion 20 is attached to the container cap 100 as it is, there is no possibility that the lid portion 20 falls and is mixed with the water W.

Finally, the contents (M) and water (W) can be mixed well by shaking the enclosed container to mix the contents (M) more uniformly with the water (W). As a result, for example, when orange juice powder is used as the content (M), orange juice can be produced and drunk. And ginseng powder or coffee mix can be used to make ginseng liquid or coffee.

Fig. 4 shows a back surface structure in which the container cap 200 according to the second embodiment of the present invention is partially cut. That is, FIG. 4 shows a state in which a portion where the first screw portion 103 is formed in the container cap 200 is partially removed. Since the structure of the container cap 200 is similar to that of the container cap 100 of FIG. 1, the same reference numerals are used for the same parts, and a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

As shown in Fig. 4, the container cap 200 includes a cap portion 10, a diaphragm portion 30, and a shielding film 40. Fig. The cap portion 10 has a three-dimensional space 105 in which contents (not shown) are embedded. A gripping groove 111 is formed on the outer surface of the cap portion 10 so that the hand does not slide smoothly due to the friction with the gripping groove 111 when the container cap 200 is opened or closed by hand.

The diaphragm portion (30) is formed in the cap portion (10). The diaphragm 30 is positioned between the upper end portion 101 and the first screw portion. The diaphragm portion 30 is spaced apart from the first screw portion 103, so that the diaphragm portion 30 is not interfered with the first screw portion 103. The diaphragm portion 30 divides the three-dimensional space 105 to contain contents (not shown). Since the diaphragm portion 30 is provided with the opening portion 301 (indicated by a dotted line), the contents can be discharged to the outside by removing the shielding film 40. [

The shielding film 40 is attached to the diaphragm 30. The shielding film 40 includes a first blocking portion 401, a second blocking portion 403, and a gripping portion 405. The first blocking portion 401 corresponds to the opening portion 301 and the second blocking portion 403 surrounds the first blocking portion 401 and is attached to the diaphragm portion 30. The grip portion 405 is formed at the edge of the second blocking portion 403. It is possible to remove the shielding film 40 from the diaphragm portion 30 by holding the grip portion 405 by hand. Therefore, the opening portion 301 can be opened and closed by using the shielding film 40. The details of the method of bonding the shielding film 40 can be easily understood by those skilled in the art, so that detailed description thereof will be omitted.

Hereinafter, the method of using the container cap 200 will be described in order through FIGS. 5 to 7. FIG. 6 shows a state before the container cap 200 is coupled to the container body 500. Fig. 7 shows a state before the container cap 200 is attached to the container cap 500. Fig. (200) is coupled to the container body (500). 6 and 7 are similar to those of FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, and therefore, the same reference numerals are used for the same portions, and a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

First, as shown in Fig. 5, the shielding film 40 can be removed from the diaphragm 30 by pulling the gripping portion 405 in the direction of the arrow. The contents M in the diaphragm 30 are exposed to the outside while the diaphragm 40 is separated from the diaphragm 30. [ The shielding film 40 can be completely removed from the diaphragm 30.

Next, as shown in FIG. 6, the container cap 200 is quickly placed on the container body 500 in the direction of the arrow so that the contents M do not fall outside. Thus, the contents M are still in the diaphragm 30, and the container cap 200 is located above the bottleneck 50. [

Next, as shown in Fig. 7, the container cap 200 is coupled to the bottleneck portion 50. Then, as shown in Fig. In this case, the contents M fall to the water W in the container body 500 by gravity. When the container is completely sealed and shaken, the contents (M) can be thoroughly mixed with the water (W). Therefore, drinks and the like can be easily manufactured and drunk.

It will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the following claims.
