BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to a double-

The present invention relates to a double beverage container having a filter. More specifically, the present invention relates to a double beverage container having a filter, a straw filter, And a filter for allowing the beverage having passed through the filtering filter and the beverage not having passed through the filtering filter to be discharged through separate outlets.

Products that store water, coffee, and carbonated beverages in a portable manner and have a stopper installed to prevent the stored beverages from flowing out during use are often used. Mostly, they open the lid and tilt the beverage container to drink, So that it can be conveniently used.

In recent years, techniques have been disclosed that can be used according to circumstances by making the shapes of the discharge port and the inlet different according to the user's convenience.

1A and 1B are perspective views showing a structure of a lid for a beverage container according to the prior art.

Prior art beverage container lid 100 includes an upper portion 124 and a peripheral wall 102 suspended therefrom. The outer periphery of the upper portion 124 is annular and the cross section of the upper portion 124 is arcuate rising from a low point around the upper portion 124 to a high point near the center of the upper portion 124. The flattened portion 104 extends through the upper portion 124 and across the upper portion 124 center. The flattened portion 104 includes two openings formed therein, one opening being a straw hole 106 suitable for receiving a conventional straw and the other opening being a jet opening 108 suitable for pouring or tipping the container contents, to be.

The lid 100 further includes an elongate lip 110 near the air outlet 108 that helps to gradually ingest.

The straw hole (106) is provided with a gasket (200) fixedly disposed therein. The gasket 200 allows a conventional straw to be inserted therethrough. Although a separate gasket 200 is shown in FIG. 1, it may be integrally formed with the lid 100.

The cover 300 includes two faces 302 and 302 'and each face is sealingly engaged with one of the openings in the flattened portion 104, or fitted into one of the openings, And have projections formed and arranged to engage with each other.

The lid 100 is attached to a container 400 containing a fluid such as a beverage and the cover 300 selectively snaps down over one of the openings of the orifice 108 or the like. A conventional straw can then be placed in the straw hole 106. Alternatively, if the user chooses to drink the beverage from the spout 108, the straw may be removed and the cover 300 rotated to cover the straw aperture 106 and expose the spout 108. The user may rotate the cover 300 again over the spout 108 after drinking the beverage. In this position, the cover 300 seals the jet port 108 to prevent the fluid from leaking, and the gasket 200 prevents the fluid from leaking through the straw hole 106 even when the container 400 is tilted.

However, such a lid functions to seal the upper part of the storage space formed integrally with one body, and can not form an isolated space therein. This allows the user to drink only by tipping the cups, drinking straws or drinking only one drink stored in the same space.

However, in some cases, there is a problem in that the user can not satisfy the user's desire because the user can use only a simple straw even when the drinking path is completely different or when the stored water is filtered and cleaned.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing the structure of a beverage container according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 3 is an enlarged perspective view showing a state where a first lid is opened, and FIG. 4 is an enlarged perspective view showing a state where a second lid is opened.

The beverage container 500 of the present invention is composed of a cylindrical, upper-opened body 502 similar to a container according to the prior art, and a cap 504 sealing the upper portion of the body 502. A filter case 506 is extended below the plug 504 and the filter case 506 is inserted into the body 502. The lower part of the filter case 506 is structured to be immersed in the beverage stored in the body 502, and the beverage flows into the lower end of the filter case 506 and moves upward.

A screw thread is formed on the inner surface of the upper part of the body 502. The outer surface of the stopper 504 has threads corresponding thereto and is used to connect the stopper 504 to the body 502. [

The body 502 and the stopper 504 are formed in a substantially similar cross-sectional shape. Generally, a cylindrical body 502 and a circular stopper 504 corresponding to the cylindrical body 502 are manufactured. The upper surface of the stopper 504 is preferably slightly concave so that the beverage does not flow out to the outside.

In the stopper 504, two outlets 504a and 504b are formed at symmetrical positions about the center of the circle. The first outlet 504a is directly connected to the internal storage space 502a of the body 502 so that the beverage in the body 502 flows immediately. The second outlet 504b is directly connected to the inner space of the filter case 506, and the straw 510 is exposed through the second outlet 504b. Thus, the beverage inside the body 502 is configured to flow out through the filter case 506 and the straw 510.

The cap 504 is provided with two lids 512 and 514. The first lid 512 opens and closes the first outlet 504a and the second lid 514 opens and closes the second outlet 504b . It is preferable that the two lids 512 and 514 are symmetrically installed on the left and right sides around one hinge point so as to rotate around the center hinge point. (Not shown) similar to the shape of the two outlets 504a and 504b are formed on the inner surfaces of the two lids 512 and 514 so that when the lids 512 and 514 are closed, (504a, 504b) so as to be sufficiently sealed.

The straw 510 is made of a general shape, and is made of plastic or silicone to maintain a uniform shape while giving a soft feeling. The straw 510 is provided with a locking protrusion 516 and a pressing portion 518 for fixing the straw 510 to the inside of the second lid 514. The locking protrusion 516 and the pressing portion 518 will be described later in detail.

The user can open the first lid 512 and tilt the body 502 to drink the drink that exits through the first outlet 504a. The beverage discharged through the first outlet 504a is a beverage contained in the storage space 502a inside the body 502 and is not subjected to any filtration. The user may also open the second lid 514 and drink the drink through the straw 510. [ Since the beverage discharged through the straw 510 passes through the filter filter 520 built in the filter case 506, the user can drink a clean drink from which the foreign matter has been removed.

FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view showing the internal structure of the beverage container, FIG. 6 is an exploded perspective view showing a state in which a body and a cap are separated, and FIG. 7 is a perspective view showing a state in which a straw is exposed to the outside of the second lid.

As shown in FIG. 6, the stopper 504 and the filter case 506 are detachably connected, wherein a lower portion of the filter case 506 is immersed in the beverage inside the body 502.

The inside of the filter case 506 is communicated in a vertical direction, and a lower end portion of the filter case 506 is formed to extend as close as possible to the bottom of the body 502

 A straw connecting portion 508 is provided at an upper middle portion of the filter case 506. The straw connecting portion 508 is made of silicone or soft plastic and can be relatively easily bent, compressed or stretched. One end of the straw connection 508 is connected to the upper end of the passageway formed in the middle of the filter case 506. The inner passage of the filter case 506 is connected from the straw connecting portion 508 and the beverage which has entered the filter case 506 through the lower end portion of the filter case 506 flows upward and flows into the straw connecting portion 508 I go in.

A straw 510 is connected to the other end of the straw connection portion 508. Accordingly, the user can drink the beverage inside the body 502 using the straw 510.

A filtering filter 520 is installed in the center of the filter case 506. The filter filter 520 is cylindrical in shape with an approximately hollow center, and is formed so as to surround the passage of the middle portion of the filter case 506. The beverage which has entered the lower end of the filter case 506 passes through the filter 520 and then exits into the empty space of the filter 520, that is, the passage 520a. Then, the sucking force transmitted from the straw 510 passes through the straw connecting portion 508 and the straw 510 and enters the mouth of the user.

A diaphragm 522 is provided at the lower end of the filter case 506 to limit the ingress and egress of the beverage, which will be described later.

A check valve 524 is provided at the lower end of the filter 520 inside the filter case 506. The check valve 524 is a valve that is opened by a suction force transmitted through the straw 510. If the suction force is not applied, the check valve 524 does not open the passage through which the beverage passes. In the state where the suction force is not applied to the check valve 524, the beverage moves only downward, and the beverage does not move upward through the check valve 524 even though the amount of beverage in the body 502 is large.

FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view showing a path through which a beverage is discharged through a first outlet, and FIG. 9 is a sectional view showing a path through which a beverage is discharged through a second outlet and a straw.

8, the user opens the first lid 512 to expose the first outlet 504a to the outside. In this state, when the beverage container 500 is tilted toward the first outlet 504a, the beverage in the storage space 502a inside the body 502 flows out through the first outlet 504a.

When the user desires to use the straw 510, the second lid 514 is opened to expose the straw 510 as shown in FIG. The straw 510 is exposed to the outside through the second outlet 504b. The elasticity of the straw connection 508 causes the straw 510 to protrude outward more easily. In contrast, when the second lid 514 is closed, the straw connection portion 508 is folded, and the straw 510 is returned to the inside of the second outlet 504b.

When the user sucks and sucks the straw 510 into the mouth, a negative pressure is generated inside the moving passage 520a of the straw 510, the straw connection 508, the filter case 506, and the filter 520. As a result, the diaphragm 522 and the check valve 524 are opened upward, so that the beverage inside the body 502 enters the inside of the filter case 506. The beverage entering the inside of the beverage is removed through the filter 520 and the clean beverage is introduced into the mouth of the user through the straw 510.

In the present invention, the beverage supplied through the first outlet 504a may be water, coffee, carbonated beverages or the like, but the beverage supplied through the second outlet 504b may not be contaminated with the filtration filter 520 It is preferable to use only water.

Since the user can remove the middle or the end portion of the filter case 506, if a large amount of foreign matter is accumulated in the filter 520, the user can separate the filter case 520 and replace the filter 520 with a new one.

FIG. 10 is a partial perspective view showing the structure of the diaphragm installed at the end portion of the filter case, and FIG. 11 is a sectional view showing a deformed state of the diaphragm.

The diaphragm 522 provided at the lower end of the filter case 506 is made of relatively soft silicone or rubber. The diaphragm 522 in the form of a thin disk is formed with several cut-out portions 522a in the center. The cut portion 522a is normally closed by the elasticity of the diaphragm 522. When a negative pressure is generated in the filter case 506, the cut portion 522a is opened due to the pressure difference, ) Is opened. When the diaphragm 522 is opened, the beverage inside the body 502 enters the inside of the filter case 506. When the negative pressure of the straw 510 is removed, the incision 522a is closed again due to the elasticity of the diaphragm 522, so that the access of the beverage is restricted.

FIG. 12 is a cross-sectional view showing a state in which the second lid is opened, FIG. 13 is a cross-sectional view showing a state in which the latching jaw is engaged with the bottom surface of the plug by pressing the pressing portion, and FIG. 14 shows a state in which the second lid pushes the straw Fig. 15 is a sectional view showing a state in which the second lid is completely closed and the straw is inserted into the cap. Fig.

Referring to Figs. 12 to 15, the principle that the straw 510 enters or leaves the inside of the second lid 514 will be described.

12, a stopping protrusion 516 protruding toward the center of the stopper 504 and a pushing portion 518 protruding toward the edge of the stopper 504 are formed in the middle of the straw 510 do. When the user uses the straw 510 to drink the filtered water, the straw 510 that is exposed through the second outlet 504b is sucked in and sucked in the mouth. After the user drains the water, the second lid 514 The straw 510 must be pushed into the plug 504 to cover it. To do this, the user presses the pusher 518 from the outside, i.e., from the edge of the stopper 504 to the middle of the pusher 518. As a result, the straw 510 slightly moves downward and enters the inside of the cap 504 (inside the second outlet) (see FIG. 13).

The stopping protrusion 516 protrudes in the middle direction. When the straw 510 is pushed downward, the stopping protrusion 516 comes into contact with the support 504c formed on the center inner surface of the stopper 504. As a result, the straw 510 can not come up again, and is in a hanging state.

When the second lid 514 is subsequently closed, the inner bottom surface of the second lid 514 pushes the end of the straw 510, and the straw 510 is further inserted inwardly (see Fig. 14). At this time, The force to fix the straw 510 disappears while the stopper 516 is disengaged from the support 504c but the straw 510 is not raised because the second lid 514 is being pressed from above.

When the second lid 514 is pushed and completely closed by the stopper 504, the straw 510 is trapped inside the stopper 504. In this state, elasticity is stored in the straw connecting portion 508 made of an elastic material. When the user opens the second lid 514 to drink water, the straw 510 protrudes again due to the elasticity of the straw connecting portion 508 .

Thus, the user has an advantage that he can drink the unfiltered beverage through the first outlet 504a or drink the beverage filtered through the second outlet 504b through the straw 510 or selectively use it.

While the present invention has been described with reference to exemplary embodiments, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments, but, on the contrary, As will be understood by those skilled in the art. Therefore, it should be understood that the above-described embodiments are to be considered in all respects as illustrative and not restrictive, the scope of the invention being indicated by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description, It is intended that all changes and modifications derived from the equivalent concept be included within the scope of the present invention.
