Description

[0001] Container capable of re-sealing [0002]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to a container capable of containing beverages and the like, and more particularly, to a container that can be resealed and effectively applied to a disposable container such as an aluminum can.

Containers capable of containing drinks, such as aluminum cans, are well known. A conventional conventional container is shown in Fig.

The lid part is located on the upper part of the container, and includes a lid surface (1) as a top surface and a lid side wall (2) for preventing overflow of the beverage when drinking.

The opening 10 is located in the lid surface 1 and is closed by the stopper member 11 before the initial opening. When the user lifts one side of the handle 20, the other side of the handle 20 is lowered due to the lever action by the fixing pin 30 and the stopper member 11 is pressed and cut by the other side, Is opened.

This type of container is easy to manufacture and use and it is easy to grasp whether the container is a reused container since it is impossible to re-seal after the opening of the plug member 11, It is advantageous in that it is safe.

However, since it is impossible to re-seal, it is inconvenient to store a part of the beverage for a while without drinking the beverage all at once. Particularly in the case of carbonated beverages, as the carbonic acid vaporizes, the refreshing sensation of the beverage deteriorates, and it is practically impossible to move the container by placing it on a bag or the like.

In order to solve such a problem, there are a number of conventional techniques for suggesting a resealable structure.

European Patent No. 1 796 971 B1 distinguishes the handle by a pull and a push and uses both the pulling and pushing portions when opening the container but pushing the pushing portion for resealing do.

However, in order to accomplish this method, a separate member is required to be coupled with the lid surface of each of the pulling portion and the pushing portion, and a separate shield portion is provided at the lower end of the lid surface, . This leads to a complicated structure of the lid structure and an increase in the manufacturing cost. This is because the prior art has proposed the lid itself of the disposable container rather than the continuous use container or the upper side of the disposable aluminum can, This is because the purpose is to suggest a usable structure.

Korean Patent Laid-Open No. 10-2011-0036822 proposes a container capable of resealing by rotating the grip portion used for opening.

However, in this method, since the grip portion must be rotated around the fixing pin, it is difficult to seal the container tightly. Therefore, there is a high possibility that the drink may leak during the resealing, and metal powder is generated in the drink during rotation of the grip portion about the fixing pin, So it is not preferable for sanitary reasons.

Korean Patent Laid-Open No. 10-2013-0079527 also proposes a container which can be resealed. The handle portion is divided into three parts, which are also very complex in structure and require a separate inner lid inside the lid, which is unsuitable for application in a disposable container.

Description of the container according to the present invention

The container according to the present invention will be described with reference to Figs. 2 to 3. Fig. For convenience of explanation, a case where the handle 200 overlaps only a part of the stopper member 11 is referred to as a first position as shown in FIGS. 2A and 3A, and a handle (not shown) 200 cover the entire opening 10 is referred to as the second position.

The lid portion of the container is provided with a lid surface 1 constituting the upper part of the container, a lid side wall 2 located upward on the circumference of the lid surface 1, And the lid groove 3 (see Fig.

The lid surface (1) is provided with an opening (10) through which the content of the inside of the container flows outwardly, which is initially covered with a plug member (11). The closure member 11 is the same as the prior art in that a part of the surface can be cut according to the user's operation.

The handle 200 according to the present invention has a function of cutting the stopper member 11 to open the opening 10 (Figs. 2A and 3A), and a function of closing the opening 10 once the opening 10 is opened (Fig. 2B, Fig. 3B).

The handle 200 will now be described in more detail with reference to FIG.

The handle 200 is coupled to the lid surface 1 by a fixing pin 30.

The handle 200 includes a handle plate 210 that is a main body and a sliding groove 230 that is positioned on the handle plate 210 and into which the stationary pin 30 is movably inserted. The handle plate 210 can be moved in a sliding manner by relatively moving the sliding groove 230 with the fixing pin 30 as a center.

That is, the user can move the handle plate 210 so that the fixing pin 30 moves along the sliding groove 230, so that a part of the handle plate 210 moves to the fixing pin 30 of the stopper member 11, 2A and 3A) and the handle plate 210 are freely moved between a second position (FIG. 2B, FIG. 3B) covering the entire opening 10.

Meanwhile, the handle 200 may further include a cover 235 positioned at an upper portion of the sliding groove 230. The lid 235 prevents the beverage and the like in the container from leaking to the outside as well as prevents the outflow of the fixing pin 30 to the outside, .

In addition, the handle 200 may further include a packing member 250 located under the handle plate 210. The packing member 250 is located at the lower surface of the corresponding handle plate 210 so as to be located outside the upper portion of the opening portion 10 at the second position. The packing member 250 is preferably made of a material that is elastic, such as rubber, and is harmless to the human body, and can be more effectively sealed at the second position through the packing member 250.

Since the handle 200 of the container according to the present invention is characterized by resealing the opening 10, there is no open portion in the plane of the handle plate 210 on the side of the opening 10. This can be more clearly understood in comparison with FIG.

In this case, it may be difficult for the user to lift one side of the handle 200 by using the fingers. In this case, the handle 200 has the grip portion 240, It is preferable that the recess 1 is provided with a recess 300. The user can open the stopper member 11 by inserting a finger or nail into the gripper 240 or by inserting a finger or nail between the recess 300 and the handle 200. [

Explanation of how the container operates according to the present invention

Hereinafter, the operation of the container according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 4A to 4D.

A sectional view of the container in the initial state before the container is opened is shown in Fig. 4A is a cross-sectional view of the container in the first position shown in Figs. 2A and 3A. The opening 10 is closed to be sealed by the plug member 11. [

Next, as shown in FIG. 4B, one side of the handle 200 to open the opening 10 is lifted. The handle 200 can be easily lifted by putting a finger or nail into the space between the grip 240 or the recess 300 and the handle 200. [

The other side of the handle 200 is moved downward due to the lever action of the fixing pin 30 when the one side of the handle 200 is lifted and at this time a part of the plug 10 is cut and the opening 10 Is opened. This principle is similar to the prior art.

In this state, the user can drink a beverage or the like contained in the container.

Next, when the user intends to close the opening 10, for example, to put the container back in the bag or to prevent the inflow of dust or the like because the user intends not to drink the drink for a long period of time, The handle 200 can be used as shown in FIG.

First, the user places the handle 200, which has been lifted up by the action as shown in FIG. By pushing the one side of the handle 200 downward, it can be positioned as shown in Fig. 4C.

Next, the handle plate 210 is pushed horizontally toward the opening 10. As the sliding groove 230 located on the handle plate 210 is guided and slid by the fixing pin 30, the handle plate 210 is naturally pushed and can be positioned at the second position as shown in FIG. 4d. Figure 4d is a cross-sectional view of the container in the second position shown in Figures 2b and 3b.

At this time, the packing member 250 located below the handle plate 210 is located at the upper outer side of the opening 10, and at the same time, as shown in FIG. 4B, Since the force has been applied, it is possible to reseal by the interaction of the downward force previously applied to the packing member 250.

If the user wishes to open the opening 10 again in the container in the resealed state, the handle plate 210 is pulled horizontally toward the opposite direction of the opening 10. [

Other Examples

2C, the packing member 250 is fixedly positioned at the lower end of the handle plate 210 so as to further maintain the sealing when the handle 200 is in the second position.
