ONE-TOUCH FASTENING CONFIGURATION OF BOTH THE COVER AND BODY OF A SEALED STORAGE CONTAINER}

The present invention relates to a fastening structure of an airtight storage container, and more particularly, to a one-touch fastening structure capable of fastening and separating the lid and the body of the airtight storage container in one operation.

The sealed storage container is a container for storing the contents stored therein, for example, side dishes, fruits, confectionery, cooked foods, etc., in a refrigerator or carrying them in a container.

Such a sealed storage container varies in size and shape depending on its use, but it is common that the body and the lid must be separated from each other and then fastened in order to contain the contents therein and to seal it.

Such fastening should be able to provide a reliable sealing force in order to preserve the contents in an appropriate state and at the same time to prevent the smell of the contents from leaking out of the container. Furthermore, it would be less desirable if such fastening and detaching operations, which are repeatedly performed while providing a reliable sealing force, can be more conveniently and simply achieved.

In a conventional hermetic storage container, such fastening and detachment is most typically made by male and female coupling of a hole formed in the lock wing of the container lid and a protrusion formed correspondingly in the container body.

In addition, as disclosed in Utility Model Registration Nos. 0301374 and 0347176, the fastening and detachment of the container protrudes from the lock wing of the container lid and is formed in the latch and the container body whose end is hooked, and the hook corresponding to the latch. It is also achieved in the interrelationship of the shaped latches.

However, the above techniques must be engaged after pivoting the unfolded locking blades to the protrusions or latches of the container body, and in the case of separation, the locking wings after disengagement of the protrusions or latches and the locking wings. It requires a two-stage operation, such as turning up to remove it.

This two-step operation is cumbersome and cumbersome for users who repeatedly fasten and detach the sealed storage container, especially the contents do not contain liquid substances, for example, kimchi broth, or empty sealed storage containers after ingesting the contents. Even when carrying a two-step operation as described above is considered to be very inconvenient and unnecessary work. In the latter case, in order to maintain the minimum mating state of the container, only two of the four locking vanes are fastened to face each other. It will be inconvenient.

The present invention is to efficiently solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and is simply a one-touch structure of the closed storage container that is repeatedly performed by a single operation, that is, the fastening and detachment of the lid and the body of the closed storage container by one touch. It is an object of the present invention to provide a one-touch fastening structure of an airtight storage container which is fastened and detached more easily.

Another object of the present invention is to provide ease of fastening and detachment of the sealed storage container as described above, while also providing a reliable sealing force in the sealed storage container.

The above object is achieved by the features mentioned in claim 1 of the present invention. Advantageous embodiments and more specific developments of the invention are mentioned in the dependent claims.

So, the one-touch fastening structure of the sealed storage container body and the lid according to the present invention is located at the edge of the container lid and the first and second coupling protrusions that can be engaged with the inner and outer surfaces of the container body end; A connection part connecting the first and second coupling protrusions; A locking wing extending from the second coupling protrusion; A binding portion formed at an end of the lock wing and formed to be coupled to another member; The other member includes a latch that protrudes from an outer surface of the container body so as to catch the binding part.

This solution according to the present invention has the advantage that the fastening and detachment of the hermetically sealed container, which required the conventional two-stage operation, is made in one touch, that is, by one operation. In addition, while having such a one-touch structure, the binding portion can elastically bind to the latch of the body to provide a reliable sealing force. In addition, if the sealing force is to be improved, a pair of such one-touch structures may be installed in the longitudinal direction of the container as shown in FIG. 1, and a handle structure or the like may be installed in the vertical direction.

According to one embodiment of the present invention, the upper surface of the end of the latch of the container body is preferably round. This is for smoothing such a sliding operation when the binding portion of the lock wing of the container lid slides down along the upper surface of the end of the latch when the container body and the lid are fastened.

According to another embodiment of the present invention, the release portion is formed integrally extending from the binding portion and inclined downward toward the outside of the container body. Such a release portion preferably has a curved shape corresponding to the user's hand, whereby the user has the advantage that the container lid and the body can be easily separated by turning the release portion out of the container in one operation.

According to another embodiment of the present invention, a silicon gasket is installed in the cavity formed by the first and second coupling protrusions and the connecting portion of the rim of the container lid. In an alternative form, the connection part and the silicon gasket are integrally formed, and double injection of the connection part with a flexible rubber material may be considered.

Hereinafter, according to a preferred embodiment of the one-touch fastening structure of the sealed storage container lid and the body according to the present invention, will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings to help better understand the features of the present invention. However, it is to be noted that the drawings used herein are merely for illustrating the present invention without limiting the scope of the present invention.

Figure 1 shows a perspective view of a sealed storage container having a one-touch fastening structure according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 is an enlarged cross-sectional view showing an enlarged cross-sectional view of the one-touch structure.

As shown in FIG. 1, the sealed storage container 10 may be coupled to and detached from the body 30 having an upper surface open to accommodate contents, and may be located on the opening. It consists of a lid 20. In addition, the lid 20 is composed of a flat upper surface 21 and a circular rim 22 surrounding the outer periphery of the upper surface 21. As is well known, the fastening and disengaging of the body 30 and the lid 20 of the container 10 is such that the rim 22 of the lid 20 and the end 31 of the body 30 (FIG. It is customary to achieve this by interaction with the device (shown in Fig. 2).

Now with reference to Figure 2 will be described in more detail the one-touch fastening structure 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The rim 22 of the lid 20 of the hermetic storage container 10 is generally provided with a first engagement protrusion that can be engaged with the inner surface 31a and the outer surface 31b of the end 31 of the body 30. 40a) and the second coupling protrusion 40b are formed. Opposing surfaces of the first engaging projection 40a and the second engaging projection are referred to herein as a first engaging surface 41 and a second engaging surface 42, respectively, and the first engaging surface 41 and the The second coupling surface 42 is connected by the connection surface 43a which forms the inner surface of the connection portion 43 connecting the first coupling protrusion 40a and the second coupling protrusion 40b. As such, the first coupling surface 41, the second coupling surface 42, and the connection surface 43a are formed and formed along the edge portion 22 of the container lid 20. In the circulation cavity. As shown in Fig. 2, a circular sealing member 45 made of, for example, a silicon gasket is inserted. The circulating sealing member 45 may include the contents of the sealed storage container 10, in particular, a liquid component of the contents, for example, kimchi broth, flowing out of the container 10, or a gaseous component (odor) of the contents. It is inserted to act as a seal to prevent spreading.

The lock wing 50 extends downward from the pivot point 53, which is a point where the second engagement protrusion 40b of the container lid 20 and the connection portion 43 meet. At the end of the lock wing 50 is formed a hook type engagement portion 51 designed to be latched to the latch 32 formed near the end of the container body 30. The engagement surface 51b of the engagement portion 51 is firmly engaged with the latch bottom surface 32b of the latch 32 to provide a reliable sealing force. Here, the latch upper surface 32a of the latch 32 is preferably round-type. This is for the sliding surface 51a of the binding portion 51 to easily slide down the latch 32a when the container lid 20 and the container body 30 are fastened.

The release part 52 is formed at an end of the lock wing 50 in a direction opposite to the binding part 51, that is, extending outwardly downward of the container body 30. In addition, the release portion 52 has a curved shape in the outward upward direction of the container body 30, so that the user puts his finger on the release portion 52 (and the binding portion 51) the container The container body and the engaging surface 51b of the engagement portion 51 of the lock wing 50 by a single motion pushing one outwardly of the body 30, that is, a one-touch action. The coupling between the latch lower surface 32b of the latch 32 of 30 can be released.

In addition to the release or separation process of the sealed storage container 10 described above, the fastening or coupling process of the container 10 will be described in more detail with reference to the one-touch fastening structure 100 of FIG.

Firstly, a cavity portion into which the sealing member 45 of the rim 22 of the lid 20 of the container 10 is inserted is placed on the end 31 of the body 30 of the container 10. . Next, when the user presses the container lid 20 downward, the sealing member 45 is deformed to contact the end 31 and to receive the end 31 as the end 31 is further raised. . Maintaining such engagement firmly determines the sealing force. It is this part of the lock wing 50 to play this role.

The sliding surface 51a of the engagement portion 51 of the lock wing 50 has a latch 32 protruded near the end 31 of the container body 30 as one end of the container lid 20 is pressed down. Is engaged with the latch upper surface 32a. Furthermore, as the container lid 20 continues to be pushed down, the sliding surface 51a of the binding portion 51 slides down while causing sliding friction on the upper surface 32a of the latch. At this time, the friction is only a variable friction, and is not a friction force that would prevent the sliding surface 51a of the binding unit 51 from advancing.

When not only the sliding surface 51a of the binding portion 51 but also the engaging surface 51b of the binding portion 51 is lowered to a height slightly lower than the latch lower surface 32b of the latch 32, the container The locking wing 50, which has been deformed about the pivot point 53 toward the outside of the body 30, is pivoted toward the container body 30 about the pivot point 53 again. The container lid 20 is slightly raised and the engagement surface 51b of the engagement portion 51 engages with the latch bottom surface 32b of the latch 32.

The engagement is maintained firmly by pulling up the engagement surface 51b of the engagement portion 51 by the elastic restoring force of the connecting portion 43 and / or the sealing member 45 to provide a reliable sealing force. This coupling is best represented by arrow A, and this fastening process described above is achieved by one container lid 20 pressing operation, ie one-touch operation.

That is, according to the one-touch fastening structure 100 according to the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, not only the fastening of the airtight storage container 10 but also separation is achieved by a one-touch operation, and also reliable in the container 10. It will also be able to provide a sealing force.

This one-touch fastening structure 100 is a container 10 with a handle 60, such as the closed storage container shown in Fig. 1, in particular, the content does not contain a liquid substance, for example kimchi broth. Or in the case of carrying an empty sealed storage container after ingesting the contents, an appropriate coupling state of the container 10 may be achieved by simply fastening only the one-touch fastening structure 100 by a single operation without tightening the handle 60. Since it is ensured, there is an advantage that can be greatly reduced the user's trouble due to the repeated fastening and detaching operation.

The embodiment is basically the same as the embodiment of Figure 2, but the connection portion 143 is characterized in that the double injection as a sealing member. That is, unlike the embodiment of FIG. 2, the injection part 43 and the sealing member 45 of FIG. 2 are integrally formed without being separately provided with the sealing member 45.

In general, a long term use of an airtight storage container having an independent sealing member 45 may cause deformation of the sealing member 45 and thus even at the edge portion 22 of the container lid 20. The case of separation occurs. This is very inconvenient for the user.

In order to solve this problem, the one-touch fastening structure 200 according to this embodiment of the present invention is a double injection so that the sealing member 45 is integrated into the container lid 20. Therefore, the user's inconvenience caused while the sealing member 45 is separated from the container lid 20 can be greatly reduced.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, it is apparent that it can be carried out in various forms without departing from the basic spirit of the present invention.

As described above, the one-touch fastening structure of the sealed storage container lid and the body according to the present invention is simply a one-touch structure, and the lid and the body of the closed storage container are fastened and separated by one operation, that is, by one-touch operation. The paper can provide a one-touch fastening structure of the sealed storage container in which the fastening and detaching of the closed storage container is easier.

In addition, the present invention can provide a one-touch fastening structure of the sealed storage container having an easy sealing force and at the same time having a reliable sealing force at the time of fastening and detaching the sealed storage container as described above.

In addition, the present invention can provide a one-touch fastening structure of an airtight storage container which can be easily manufactured with economical ease of fastening and detachment and a reliable sealing force and is economical.
