Description

A Free Container Regardless Of Opening And Shutting Direction}

The present invention relates to a container with a cap, ie a lid. More specifically, the container is intended for the container into which the contents are injected from the top, and is opened by hand by pressing it without a special operating device such as a handle to open and close the cap of the container, that is, by opening it in a top down push method. And a cap that is closed through gravity or coalescing bodies. In particular, the opening / closing method is frequently used in a recycle basket, a trash can, a sanitary container, and is frequently found in public places, shopping malls, department stores, and the like.

In the background of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1, a cap 2 is disposed on an upper portion of the container main body 1, and both sides of the cap are coupled to the upper portion of the main body by a plurality of hinges h1 and h2. The user is configured to open by pushing by hand, avoiding the extension line e) extending from the hinge axis center of the hinge. When you want to close the hand to perform the push is to be closed by the weight of the center of the cap.

Although the container cap of the background art provides convenience in opening and closing of the container, the user has a problem of pushing (pushing) away from the extension line, so that the administrator who arranges the container cares about the direction of the container cap. It should be arranged by writing.

The container of the present invention is to open and close the cap in any direction from the container body to solve the above problems, the cap is coupled to open and close the inner circumference of the upper end of the container body, the opening and closing ring between the inner circumference of the upper end of the container body and the cap It is interposed, the opening and closing ring is hinged to the upper end of the container body and is characterized in that the hinge and the cap in a direction perpendicular to the hinge coupling. Therefore, opening and closing in the direction perpendicular to each other, as well as opening and closing in all directions according to the diffraction combination of the hinge coupling that meets at the right angle.

According to the present invention, even if the user pushes anywhere on the cap, it can be opened, and the manager who arranges the container can arrange the container without worrying about the direction of the container and the cap.

Hereinafter, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. 2 and 3, the cap 20 is arranged on the inner circumference of the upper end of the container body 10, the opening and closing ring 30 between the inner circumference of the upper end of the container body 10 and the outer circumference of the cap 20 is Is interposed, the opening and closing ring 30 is hinged and coupled to the upper end of the container body 10 and is configured to be hinged with the cap 20 in a direction perpendicular to the hinge coupling.

The hinge coupling is a projecting hinge pins (31, 32) in the form of protrusions to be hinged to the container body 10 in the outer circumferential direction of the opening and closing ring 30 protrudes the container on top of the container body (10) It is to be fixed to the fixing portion (h) of the groove shape to fix the hinge pins (31, 32) for coupling; The cap coupling hinge pins 32 and 34 to be hinged to the cap 20 in the inner circumferential direction of the opening and closing ring 30 are provided to protrude so that the recess portion h of the groove shape is formed on the outer circumference of the cap 20. It is configured to be fixed to. Of course, the hinge pins 31, 32, 33, 34 may be formed on the upper end of the container body 10 and / or on the outer circumference of the cap 20 and on the inner circumference of the opening / closing ring 30. Or the fixing part (h) may be provided on the outer circumference, it can be seen that these are in the same technical scope of the present invention.

On the other hand, the opening and closing ring 30 has a shape in which the opening and closing ring 30 deviates from the outer circumference of the cap 20 when opening and closing in an arbitrary direction in which the diffraction direction of the cap does not coincide with the diffraction direction of the hinge pin. It can be provided in an arc form to minimize the shape of the opening and closing ring 30 because it can hinder the aesthetics or reach the user's hand, as shown in A and B of FIG. / 4 is in the form of a circle. In particular, when the opening and closing ring 30 is provided in the form of a singular arc as shown in Figure 3 B, one hinge pin 31 for container coupling and one hinge pin 34 for cap coupling can be configured to the other side. Since tilting or twisting may occur, the hinge pin may be elongated (a) or reinforced by another known hinge coupling method as shown in the drawing. In addition, as shown in FIG. 5A, in order to induce automatic closing by gravity after the opening, the weight portion 21 may be provided and formed to have a large weight in the center portion as in the existing cap. Through the above configuration, the user can open the cap 20 by pushing (p) any portion of the cap 20 as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5.

2 is an exploded perspective view showing a first embodiment in which the cap 20 and the container body 10 are disassembled.

Claims (2)

In the container that the cap 20 is coupled to open and close to the upper inner circumference of the container body 10, the opening and closing ring 30 is interposed between the upper inner circumference of the container body and the outer circumference of the cap, the opening and closing ring is the container body The container of the cap opening and closing direction, characterized in that the hinge is coupled to the top and hinged to the cap in a direction perpendicular to the hinge coupling. The method of claim 1, A hinge pin for container coupling is provided on an outer circumference of the opening and closing ring; Cap opening and closing direction of the cap, characterized in that the hinge pin for the cap coupling in a direction perpendicular to the container coupling hinge pin on the inner circumference of the opening and closing ring
