Abstract

The present invention relates to a height-adjustable airtight container. The height-adjustable airtight container, according to the present invention, comprises: a fixed body which stores contents therein; and a capacity adjusting body which is coupled to the fixed body to be vertically moved.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to an airtight container,

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to a hermetically sealed container, and more particularly, to a hermetically sealed container capable of height adjustment.

Many housewives are kept in refrigerated containers in sealed containers to maintain the freshness of the food.

However, since such a closed container has a predetermined size, it is inevitable to use a large closed container in the case where there is no closed container having a small size even if the amount of food to be stored is small.

When a hermetically sealed container having an unnecessarily large size is used, the storage space in the refrigerator is quickly filled and the efficiency of storing the refrigerator is lowered.

For example, the actual volume of the contents to be stored is 100ml. If the contents are stored in a 500ml sealed container with only a 500ml sealed container at home, 400ml is unnecessarily occupied in the refrigerator.

It is not desirable, however, to mix different types of foods and store them in a closed container for a variety of reasons, including smell.

The opposite is also the case with inconvenience.

For example, the volume of the contents to be stored is 500 ml. However, even if the enclosed containers of 100 ml are used at home, there are inconveniences to store them in several closed containers even though they are the same contents.

If these same contents are stored in several small containers, the small containers may be cluttered and the necessary contents may not be easily found, and occasionally the container may need to be opened several times.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and an object of the present invention is to provide an enclosed container in which its size can be changed dynamically according to the amount of food.

According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a closed container having a height adjustable therein. And a volume control body coupled to the fixed body and capable of up and down movement.

Here, an insertion groove is formed between the outer surface and the inner surface of the fixed body, and the volume control body may be configured to be movable up and down while being inserted into the insertion groove of the fixed body.

At least one unevenness may be formed on one surface of the groove inside the fixed body and one surface of the volume adjusting body so as to be engaged with each other.

As described above, according to the present invention, when the content is small, it is possible to increase the utilization rate of the storage space of the refrigerator or the like by reducing the size, and to increase the size when the content is large, have.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a height-adjustable closed container according to an embodiment of the present invention,
Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the sealed container of Fig. 1 viewed from the front,
3 is a perspective view of a closed container in a reduced volume as compared to FIG.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in order to facilitate understanding of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to these embodiments. In particular, the present invention can be configured by combining at least any one of individual configurations and individual functions included in each embodiment.

A perspective view of a height-adjustable hermetic container 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown in Fig. 1, and a front view is shown in Fig.

As shown in the figures, the closed type container 1 having a height adjustable according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a fixed body 100, a volume adjusting body 200, and a lid 300 .

The fixed body 100 is a body having a fixed size without changing its volume. The fixed body 100 is open on the upper side and comprises a lower surface of the container.

The volume control body 200 is configured to be coupled with the fixed body 100 and to move up and down. As the volume control body 200 is adjusted up and down, the entire volume of the closed container 1 is changed. Both the upper and lower sides of the volume control body 200 are open.

The lid 300 opens and closes the upper part of the volume adjusting body 200. The lid 300 can be formed with a groove capable of coming into contact with the upper side of the volume adjusting body 200. Further, Can be formed.

Since the structure itself of the lid 300 of the hermetically sealed container 1 corresponds to a known technique, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

An insertion groove 130 may be formed between the outer surface 110 and the inner surface 120 of the fixed body 100 to allow the volume adjusting body 200 to be inserted therein for vertical movement of the volume adjusting body 200 have.

In order to maintain the adjusted size when the volume of the container is changed by the volume adjusting body 200, the inner surface of the insertion groove 130 of the fixed body 100 and the volume At least one concavity and convexity may be formed on one surface of the adjustment body 200.

2, the first irregularities 140 formed on the inner surface of the insertion groove 130 of the fixed body 100 and the second irregularities 210 formed on the outer surface of the volume adjustment body 200 Keeping a certain height by interlocking with each other.

That is, as long as there is no external force, the volumetric control body 200 does not move up and down so that the sealed container 1 can have a fixed size.

When the volume control body 200 is moved up and down, a predetermined gap or space 150 can be formed on the side where the concave and convex is not formed due to the external force due to the material properties of the closed container 1. In this case, Up and down movement of the main body 200 can be easily performed.

A state in which the volume control body 200 is adjusted downward by an external force is shown in Fig.

1 and FIG. 3, it can be seen that the height of the closed container 1 is reduced from 20 cm to 12 cm as an example.

By adjusting the height of the hermetically sealed container 1 according to the volume of the contents, it is possible to efficiently use the storage space of the refrigerator or the like, and to prevent the same contents from being contained in several containers.

Although the second concavo-convex 210 is formed on only one side of the volume control body 200, the second concavo-convex 210 may be formed on a plurality of surfaces of the volume control body 200 to be.

The first concavities 140 formed on the inner surface of the insertion groove 130 of the fixed body 100 may also be formed on a plurality of surfaces in the insertion groove 130 of the fixed body 100.

Although the insertion groove 130 is formed in the fixed body 100 and the volume adjusting body 200 is inserted into the insertion groove 130 in the above embodiment, 120 or the outer surface 110 and the volume adjusting body 200 may be moved up and down by engaging with the sliding structure.

For example, a sliding guide may be mounted on the inner surface of the fixed body 100, and a sliding bar may be provided on a part of the volume control body 200 to engage with the sliding guide of the fixed body 100 to move up and down. In this case, it is of course possible to provide a stopper which can be fixed at a desired position by the user during the up-and-down sliding.

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed exemplary embodiments, but, on the contrary, is intended to cover various modifications and equivalent arrangements included within the spirit and scope of the invention. It is to be understood that such variations and modifications are intended to be included in the scope of the appended claims.
