Description

Airtight container having locker < RTI ID = 0.0 >

The present invention relates to a sealed container having a lock, and more particularly, to a sealed container which is applied to an airtight container by a simple structure to hold an article or a food in an enclosed state safely, and a lock capable of relieving the inconvenience of communal living To an airtight container.

Generally, a hermetically sealed container for enclosing and storing foods or the like is composed of a container body forming an upwardly opened accommodation space and a lid for opening and closing the upward opening of the container body.

The container body is formed with a closed end protruding upward along the circumferential direction, and a latching portion is formed on the outer circumferential surface of the upper portion of the container body adjacent to the closed end to engage and disengage the locking blade of the lid. Have. The lid of the hermetically sealed container is injection molded into a synthetic resin material so as to have a container blocking portion having an area corresponding to the upward opening of the container body and a plurality of locking blades integrally formed in the peripheral region of the container blocking portion.

An airtight gasket is coupled to the lower surface of the container blocking portion of the lid along the circumferential direction. The locking blade is rotatably formed at a peripheral end portion of the container blocking portion by a hinge structure so as to engage and disengage from the engaging portion of the container body.

The construction of such a closed container is disclosed in Korean Patent No. 10-0946240. This type of closed container is a common living room such as a guest house, a living room, a house share, a room share, etc. In a common living room sharing a refrigerator, a person often consumes a food intentionally or negatively, You need to lock it so that you can not eat it. In addition, many siblings have to lock their own snacks in the common refrigerator so that they can only eat their own snacks. In some cases, medicines or dangerous goods need to be used only by managers.

Korean Registered Patent No. 10-0946240 (Name: Locking blade hinge structure of the closed container lid)

An object of the present invention is to provide an enclosed container having a lock which can be applied to an enclosed container with a simple structure to keep the enclosed state safely and to relieve the inconvenience of communal living.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a hermetically sealed container having a lock capable of preventing arbitrary opening of the hermetically sealed container with one lock regardless of the number of locking wings coupled to the lid in the hermetically sealed container in which the lid is completely separated from the container body There is.

A closed container having a lock according to the present invention comprises a container body formed with an opening on its upper side, a lid closing the opening of the container body to seal the container body and sealing the lid, A plurality of latches, a medial ring surrounding the lid to be caught by the plurality of latches, and a lock that locks the medial ring so as not to fall out of the latch.

The lid is provided with a locking wing that can be locked and unlocked by anyone who hangs on the container body, and the latch is fixed to the locking wing.

The medial ring is formed with a concave groove, and the projection of the lock is inserted into the concave groove, so that the medial ring can be locked in the lid. A spacing is formed between the latch and the intermediate ring, and a ring of locks is inserted in the spacing to lock the intermediate ring into the lid.

The mediator ring is an open c-shaped or arcuate ring, which is engaged with the catching groove or the catching hole of the catch by sliding on a horizontal plane of the same height as the catching groove or the catching hole of the catch. The medial ring is an open type c-shaped or arcuate ring, which can be pivoted at a horizontal plane of the same height as the catching groove or the catching hole of the catch and can be engaged with the catching groove or the catching hole of the catch.

The mediator ring may be a closed square ring or a circular ring. The latches fixed to at least one side surface of the lid may be formed with inclined surfaces so that the intermediate rings can be easily twisted in the horizontal plane and vertically inserted into the latching grooves.

According to the sealed container having the lock according to the present invention, it is possible to safely store an article or food which is applied to a sealed container with a simple structure and which needs to be kept in an airtight state, and it is possible to solve the inconvenience of communal living.

Further, there is an effect that arbitrary opening of the hermetically sealed container can be prevented by one lock regardless of the number of locking wings coupled to the lid in the hermetically sealed container in which the lid is completely separated from the container body.
