Description

Multiple mix container

The present invention relates to a container capable of easily mixing the contents contained in several containers by inter-container coupling.

Cocktail (Cocktail) refers to a mixed liquor made of a mixture of sweeteners, sugars and spices based on various kinds of liquor. It is an art of liquor that does not drink alcohol from all over the world, but gives unique taste and color to the taste and taste of the drinker. The name Cocktail comes from many theories, but it came from a pharmacist named AA Peishaw, who immigrated to New Orleans, Louisiana, circa 1795, called a coquetier in French, combining a drink containing egg yolks. have. As such, cocktails were first made in the United States, but the habit of making mixed drinks did not necessarily originate in the United States, but in India and Persia, they have been making mixed drinks called punch. There is a record that it was transmitted to West Indies and Europe by the Spanish. There is also a theory that British colonel F. Niggers, who died in 1737, invented a rare mixed drink by combining liquor and named him Nigers. But the trend of cocktails was also begun in the United States, and then, when the week of absenteeism in the United States, the majority of bartenders lost their jobs and went to Europe to create a variety of cocktails. Before World War I, they were mourned in only a few special groups and became generalized as garrison soldiers demanded cocktails during this war. The date the cocktail came to Korea is not clear, but it is thought that it was after the establishment of the US Embassy.

To prepare a cocktail, a shaker is used to obtain a blended taste while utilizing the characteristics of the host, such as liquor or shochu. Cocktails are generally made by a professional bartender using a shaker to produce a strict composition. Recently, however, regardless of the method of preparing the cocktail, even in general drinking, fruit juice, coffee, cola, cider, etc. according to the taste of the individual, immediately mixed with shochu, beer, liquor or tequila, etc. Drinking became a common phenomenon. In particular, cocktails with a mixture of soju and coffee, cola, cider, or other fruit juices are very popular among women in their 20s and 30s, and many pubs are now making and selling shochu cocktails. Franchise taverns are also on the rise. However, the liquor cocktails made by the liquor have excellent flavors, but the price is relatively high.The soju cocktails produced by the drinker are cheaper, but the price is lower than the liquor cocktails produced by the professional liquor. There are disadvantages in that the flavor is poor and the manufacturing is inconvenient.

Therefore, in order to solve the above disadvantages, KR 20-1999-0018760 and many others provide a device that can easily prepare an instant cocktail by installing a plastic bag containing a liquid in the lid of the soju bottle. However, in the case of the patent, not only the technical difficulty in manufacturing the lid equipped with the vinyl bag but also a lot of costs in the production, and also because of the nature of introducing cocktail material through the plastic bag inside the lid of the shochu bottle There is a disadvantage in that it can not produce soju or beer can be, and if the buyer does not want to manufacture a cocktail there is a problem that discards the cocktail material of the plastic bag.

Therefore, in order for a disposable cocktail container to be successful in the market due to its technical characteristics, it is considered to have the following technical characteristics: (a) When using the container of the present invention, it is superior to an instant cocktail prepared cocktail. Provide flavors as well as flavors comparable to those produced by professional cocktail manufacturers; (b) not only is easy to manufacture by showing the shape of simple structure, but also does not consume excessive cost compared to conventional container production; (c) the cocktail container will be sold separately from the container so that a wide variety of cocktail products can be launched to meet the customer's diverse tastes; (d) there is no loss of content when combining the cocktail container with the container; (e) the cocktail container is tightly associated with the bottle when combined with the container and there is no fear of separation when stirring; (f) the means for solving the above (d) and (e) has a simple structure, there is no difficulty in manufacturing, and perform a combined function by a unified means so as not to consume excessive costs in production; (g) Play elements may be added to the cocktail making process to make the atmosphere of the drink more cheerful during the cocktail making process.

However, the detailed detailed structure may be easily inferred by those skilled in the art by drawings other than the present drawings.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to Examples. It is to be understood that both the foregoing general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory only and are not to be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. It will be self-evident.

Example

Example  1: formed inside the insertion hole of the present invention With female thread  Installed in the outlet of another container With male thread  Combination

The main body 10 for accommodating the internal material was manufactured using a transparent plastic resin, and the discharge port 30 formed on one side of the main body to discharge the internal material into the main body of the other container has an outer diameter inserted therein. It was made to be shorter than the inner diameter of the ball so that the discharge port can be inserted into the insertion hole of the other container. The coupling part formed a female thread that can be combined with the male thread in the insertion hole so as to be coupled to the male thread formed in the discharge port of the other container. The rubber membrane 80 is made of a thin material of 0.1-1 mm so that the discharge port of the other container is introduced into the insertion hole and ruptured when the male thread of the other container rotates about one time to the female thread formed inside the insertion hole. In order to prevent the inner portion of the membrane from rupturing due to rupture of the central portion, the central portion of the membrane was made thinner than the outer portion, and the membrane was attached to the end of the insertion hole. The cap was then attached to complete the container of Example 1.

Example  2: by the ruptured membrane attached to the inlet hole of the present invention Container  Combination

The main body 10 for accommodating the internal material was manufactured using a transparent plastic resin, and the discharge port 30 formed on one side of the main body to discharge the internal material into the main body of the other container has an outer diameter inserted therein. It was manufactured to be shorter than the inner diameter of the ball so that the discharge port can be inserted into the insertion hole. Thereafter, a circular rubber membrane having elasticity was attached to the end of the insertion hole by using an adhesive. The circular rubber membrane was made thinner than the distal end of the central portion of the membrane. The difference from the membrane of Example 1 is that the distal end of the membrane of Example 2 is formed to be 1-5 mm thick, but the thickness of the central portion 5-1 is 0.1-1 mm thin (from the center to the outside). Two-thirds to four-fifths of the radius to the portion consists of a thin film and the remaining one-thirds to a fifth consists of a thick film). The reason for this is that when the discharge port of the other container is introduced into the insertion hole and the membrane is ruptured, the thickened non-ruptured membrane can be used as the inter-vessel coupling portion (see FIG. 5).

Example  3: integral formation of the bonding portion and the membrane

In the case of integrally forming the joint and the membrane, the cost of the product can be further lowered and the manufacturing process is simple. More specifically, the product manufactured by the integral molding method includes a cylindrically shaped coupling part that can be in close contact with the inner circumferential surface of the insertion hole, a membrane attached to the end of the coupling part, and a product manufactured by the integral molding method. It is provided with a locking jaw attached to the periphery of the membrane attached to the membrane to be coupled to, more details are shown in Figure 4 below. Since the product manufactured by the integral molding method was attached to the insertion hole to complete the invention of this embodiment.

Example  4: container with a plurality of insertion holes

This embodiment is not different from the manufacturing method of Examples 1, 2 and 3 except that the insertion hole is formed on all four sides formed in the rectangular container in addition to the bottom of the container (see FIG. 7).
