Description

Container {Container}

The present invention relates to a container, more specifically a container having a lid that can be automatically pushed open.

Along with the development of technology, the courage is improved and people can use it more conveniently. For example, the container has a lid that prevents the filled liquid from flowing out of the container. Generally speaking, when the user tries to open the container, one hand of the user holds the container and the other hand turns the lid or pushes it open.

However, people can not always open their lids with both hands while working. In other words, while the user is working, such as driving a car or making a phone call, the user must stop working to open the lid by using both hands at the same time, which is inconvenient to the user. Accordingly, it is important to provide a container with a lid that allows the user to push and open with only one hand.

The present invention provides a container that can automatically open and open the lid of the container.

According to one aspect of the present invention, the container includes a base, a reservoir, a lid, an elastic component and an active portion. The base includes a bottom plate and side walls connected to each other. The bottom plate and the side wall together form a receiving space. The side wall includes a blocking portion.

The elastic component is connected to the lid. The active portion has a first position and a second position slidably disposed in the sliding groove for sliding relative to the storage portion. The active portion has a first end and a second end facing each other. The first end of the active portion includes a block, and the second end of the active portion is rotated to the fulcrum of the lid. When the storage portion is disposed in the receiving space of the base portion, the blocking portion of the side wall presses the block such that the active portion is located in the first position, the lid is located in the closed position to seal the opening portion, and the elastic component stores the elastic position energy . When the storage portion is detached from the base, the resilient component releases elastic potential energy to rotate the lid from the closed position to the open position, exposing the opening to the outside and causing the active portion to slide from the first position to the second position.

Figure 3a is a cross-sectional view of the container when the lid of the container is located in the closed position according to the first embodiment; Figure 3b is a cross-sectional view of the container when the lid of the container is in the open position according to the first embodiment; In this embodiment, the container 10 includes a base 11, a reservoir 12, a lid 13, an elastic component 14 and an active portion 15.

The base 11 includes a side wall 110 and a bottom plate 111 connected to each other. The side wall (11) and the bottom plate (111) together form a receiving space (S). The side wall 110 includes a blocking portion 112. In detail, the side wall 110 is a rounded wall which surrounds the receiving space S and is erected perpendicular to the bottom plate 111, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In some other embodiments, sidewall 110 may be a polygonal wall. The bottom plate 111 of the base 11 has one first ventilation hole 1110 and the side wall 110 has a plurality of second ventilation holes 1100. For example, blocking portion 112 is a rim of side wall 110.

In this embodiment, the number of the first air vents 1110 is one, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In some other embodiments, for example, the number of first vents 1110 is more than one, or the bottom plate 111 does not have a first vents 1110. In addition, in some other embodiments, for example, the sidewall 110 has at least one second vent 1101, and a detailed description will be provided below.

The storage unit 12 is detachably disposed in the accommodation space S. The storage unit 12 has a sliding groove 123 and an opening 120. [ The storage part 12 has a first side surface 121 and a second side surface 122 facing each other. The second side 122 of the storage 12 includes a second securing component 1220. The sliding groove 123 is located on the first side 121 of the reservoir, and has a groove surface 1231. The function of the second fixed component 1220 will be described below.

The lid 13 is rotated by the first side 121 of the storage part 12 as a fulcrum. The lid has a rotating end 131 and a fixed end 132 facing each other. The lid (13) includes a rotating component (133) located at the rotating end (131). The rotating component 133 is rotated to a fulcrum on the first side 121 of the storage part 12. [ The fixed end 132 includes a first securing component 1320 that coincides with a second securing component 1220. The first fixed component 1320 is, for example, a fixed slot. The second fastening component 1220 is, for example, a fastening hook that matches the fastening slot. The second securing component 1220 (securing hook) is secured to the first securing component 1320 (securing slot) to secure the lid 13 to the storage 12.

The lid 13 rotates relative to the reservoir 12 to have a closed position and an open position. The lid 13 covers the opening 120 of the reservoir 12 when it is in the closed position (shown in Fig. 3A). The lid 13 exposes the opening 120 of the reservoir 12 to the outside when it is in the open position (shown in FIG. 3B).

The resilient component 14 is disposed on the first side 121 of the reservoir 12. The elastic component 14 is connected to the rotating component 133 of the lid 13. The elastic component 14 is, for example, a torsion spring. The elastic component 14 stores the elastic position energy as the lid 13 moves from the open position to the closed position. The resilient component 14 releases elastic position energy as the lid 13 moves from the closed position to the open position.

An active portion (15) is slidably disposed in a sliding groove (123) of the storage portion (12). The active portion 15 has a first end 151 and a second end 152 facing each other. The first end 151 includes a pedestal 1510 and the second end 152 is rotated with the lid 13 as a fulcrum. The active portion 15 is intended to slide relative to the storage portion 12 to have a first position and a second position. There is a distance between the pedestal 1510 of the first end 151 and the groove surface 1231 of the sliding groove 12 when the active portion 15 is in the first position (shown in FIG. The pedestal 1510 of the first end 151 is brought into contact with the groove surface 1231 of the sliding groove 12 when the active portion 15 is in the second position (shown in FIG. 3B).

The container 10 further includes a link device 16. The second end 1520 of the active portion 15 rotates through the linkage 16 to the fulcrum of the rotating component 133 of the lid 13 so that the lid 13 rotates relative to the reservoir 12, The present invention is not limited thereto. In some other embodiments, the container 10 does not include a link device 16, and the second end 152 of the active portion 15 is flexible. The second end 152 is reversibly deformed for the lid 13 that rotates relative to the reservoir 12.

Further, the container 10 further includes a bottle 17 disposed in the storage section 12. [ In this embodiment, the bottle 17 is for separating from the storage portion 12, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In some other embodiments, both bottle 17 and reservoir 12 are integrated together.

The following describes the directions and tasks for using the container. The storage unit 12 is disposed in the base 11 when the user does not need to use the container 10 (shown in Figs. 3A and 3B). When the storage part 12 descends along the direction F1, the blocking part 112 of the side wall 11 pushes the pedestal 1510, whereby the active part 15 slides from the second position to the first position. The link device 16 causes the lid 13 to rotate from the open position to the closed position along direction F2. When the active portion 15 is in the first position, the blocking portion 112 of the side wall 11 is pressed against the pedestal 1510. When the lid 13 is in the closed position, the lid 13 covers the opening 120 and both the reservoir 12 and the lid 13 are compressed such that the elastic component 14 is reversibly deformed The elastic component 14 stores elastic position energy.

The reservoir 12 compresses the air to be removed and presses the first vent 1110 and / or the second vent 1100 out of the accommodation space S while the lid 13 rotates from the open position to the closed position, Thereby pushing the air inside the accommodation space S. That is, the air inside the accommodation space S is for buffering the descending speed of the storage part 12 with respect to the base part 11. [ Further, the direction of the descending speed extends along the direction F1. In other words, the speed of the air to be removed from the accommodation space S affects the descending speed of the storage part 12. [ The speed of the air to be removed from the accommodation space S is determined by arranging the positions of the first and second air vents 1110 and 1100 and changing the number of the first air vents 1110 and the second air vents 1100 Lt; / RTI >

When the user needs to use the container 10 (for example, to drink liquid inside the container 10), the user lifts the storage unit 12 and the storage unit 12 is separated from the base unit 11 (Shown in Figs. 3A and 3B). The resilient component 14 releases elastic position energy and causes the lid 13 to rotate in the direction F3 from the closed position to the open position to cause the active portion 15 to slide from the first position to the second position. Also, the lid 13 rotates from the closed position to the open position to expose the opening 120 of the storage part 12 to the outside.

When the user needs to lift the storage part 12 from the base 11 with the lid 13 in the closed position, the user can move the second fastening component 1220 to the first fastening component 1320, The lid 13 can not be rotated relative to the storage part 12 (as shown in Fig. 2A). Thus, the lid remains in the closed position even when the storage part 12 is separated from the base part 11. [

In another embodiment, the position of the second vent and the number of the second vent can be varied. See FIG. 1C. 1C is a perspective view of a base of a container according to a second embodiment of the present invention; Since the second embodiment is similar to the first embodiment, only the differences will be described.

In this embodiment, both of the side wall 110 and the bottom plate 111 further have a plurality of second ventilation holes 1101. The second ventilation hole 1101 is for increasing the speed of the air to be removed from the accommodation space S to affect the descending speed of the storage part 12. Therefore, the velocity of the air to be removed from the accommodation space S can be adjusted by arranging the position of the second vent 1101 and changing the number of the second vent 1101.

Elastic components can be replaced with other elements. See FIGS. 4A and 4B. 4A is a perspective view of a container according to the third embodiment. Figure 4b is an enlarged view of the container of Figure 4a. Since the third embodiment is similar to the first embodiment, only the differences will be described.

In this embodiment, the elastic component 14 'of the container 10' is, for example, a rubber band. Thus, the resilient component 14 'has a function similar to that of the resilient component.

According to the present invention, when the user lifts the reservoir from the base, the lid can automatically open and open by releasing the elastic potential energy generated from the mechanical relationship. Therefore, it is suitable for the user to open the lid by one hand only.

In addition, both the position and the number of the first vent and the second vent can be determined so as to regulate the velocity of air removed from the accommodation space S, thereby regulating the descending speed of the reservoir.
