Description

可密封蓋及包含其之容器 Sealable lid and container containing it [相關申請案] [Related Application Case]

此非臨時專利申請案主張於2018年8月21日申請之臨時專利申請案第62/720,383號,其揭露內容以全文引用的方式併入本文中。 This non-provisional patent application claims the provisional patent application No. 62/720,383 filed on August 21, 2018, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

本發明係關於容器之蓋之領域。具體而言,本發明係關於一種蓋,其能夠針對一容器形成一氣密及水密封,例如食物及/或飲品容器,及較佳地熱絕緣食物容器。該蓋經組態以具有可由一樞轉手動件控制的一密封機構,以提供一意外簡單的解決方案,其允許輕鬆地開啟及關閉該容器。 The present invention relates to the field of container lids. Specifically, the present invention relates to a lid that can form an air- and water-tight seal for a container, such as a food and/or drink container, and preferably a thermally insulated food container. The lid is configured to have a sealing mechanism that can be controlled by a pivoting manual member to provide an unexpectedly simple solution that allows the container to be opened and closed easily.

在配備有可密封蓋的傳統食物容器中,使用周向地圍著蓋之下部分而設置的一密封構件可達成介於蓋與容器本體之間的密封。該蓋經組態有一可移動底板,其機械地連接在蓋之頂部上的一按鈕或手動件。該按鈕或手動件之操作導致底板向上或向下移動,用以壓縮密封構件。該密封構件接著擴展以壓抵容器本體之內壁,用以產生該容器之密封。 In a conventional food container equipped with a sealable lid, a sealing member disposed circumferentially around the lower part of the lid can achieve a seal between the lid and the container body. The cover is configured with a movable bottom plate, which is mechanically connected to a button or manual piece on the top of the cover. The operation of the button or manual part causes the bottom plate to move up or down to compress the sealing member. The sealing member is then expanded to press against the inner wall of the container body to produce a seal of the container.

然而,此密封機構係伴隨著底板向上及向下移動而開 啟及關閉容器。主要的缺陷是,當容器在一關閉狀態下含有高溫內容物時,蓋之底板經致使而向下移動至其下位置,用以將密封構件偏向抵靠容器本體之內壁。於是,所增加的內壓力導致容器之內容積減少。因此,當所需要的是將容器在其關閉狀態下密封時,需施加一相對大的人力以便操作按鈕或手動件來使容器氣密。同樣地,當所需要的是開啟密封之容器時,需一更大的力量操作按鈕或手動件以便從容器開啟或移除蓋。此類型之食物容器讓老人及小孩難以使用可密封的食物容器。 However, this sealing mechanism is opened with the bottom plate moving up and down. Open and close the container. The main defect is that when the container contains high-temperature contents in a closed state, the bottom plate of the lid is caused to move down to its lower position to bias the sealing member against the inner wall of the container body. Thus, the increased internal pressure causes the internal volume of the container to decrease. Therefore, when what is needed is to seal the container in its closed state, a relatively large amount of manpower is required to operate the button or manual part to make the container airtight. Similarly, when what is needed is to open a sealed container, a greater force is required to operate the button or manual part to open or remove the lid from the container. This type of food container makes it difficult for the elderly and children to use a sealable food container.

為了解決上述缺陷,市場可購得的大部分可密封容器設置有用於平衡容器內與容器外的壓力之一氣閥。就一方面而言,該氣閥需要更多結構組件,且將影響密封性能,尤其是當儲存液體內容物時。就另一方面而言,當容器設計為熱絕緣時,該氣閥亦將降低保溫的能力。 In order to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks, most of the sealable containers available on the market are provided with a gas valve for balancing the pressure inside and outside the container. On the one hand, the air valve requires more structural components and will affect the sealing performance, especially when storing liquid contents. On the other hand, when the container is designed to be thermally insulated, the valve will also reduce the ability to keep warm.

據此存在著對於可密封容器蓋的需求,尤其是適合熟食及飲品內容物,其蓋係輕易地以低價製造並允許被不費力地開啟或關閉。亦存在著對於容器蓋的需求,其可為了清潔目的而輕易地拆卸並再組裝。 Accordingly, there is a need for sealable container lids, especially suitable for cooked food and beverage contents, whose lids are easily manufactured at a low price and allow to be opened or closed effortlessly. There is also a need for container lids that can be easily disassembled and reassembled for cleaning purposes.

本發明已經發展以落實上述之需求,且因此具有提供一種容器蓋之主要目的,其雖然在構造上簡單但產生了用於容器的氣密及液密密封。 The present invention has been developed to fulfill the above-mentioned needs, and therefore has the main purpose of providing a container lid which, although simple in structure, produces an air-tight and liquid-tight seal for the container.

本發明之另一目的係提供一種容器蓋,其具有一簡單且不費力的機構以開啟及以氣密的方式關閉容器。 Another object of the present invention is to provide a container lid with a simple and effortless mechanism to open and close the container in an airtight manner.

本發明之又一目的係提供一種容器蓋,其使容器之內 容積能夠維持,且因此容器之內壓力不變,從而不論該容器係開啟的或關閉的來提供不費力地開啟及關閉可密封容器之輕易性。 Another object of the present invention is to provide a container lid which makes the container The volume can be maintained, and therefore the pressure inside the container does not change, so that the ease of opening and closing the sealable container is provided regardless of whether the container is opened or closed.

雖然本發明經繪示及描述於較佳實施例中,但容器蓋及密封環可以許多不同組態、尺寸、形式及材料來製作。 Although the present invention is illustrated and described in the preferred embodiment, the container lid and sealing ring can be made in many different configurations, sizes, forms, and materials.

參照圖式,圖1至圖11繪示依據本發明之第一較佳實施例所建構的熟食容器1。容器1(其實質上為一圓柱之形狀)包含可密封蓋10及容器本體20,該蓋置於該容器本體上方。如繪示於圖1中,容器處於氣密關閉的狀態,其中容器內的容器本體20係密封良好的。容器可係存在著維持高或低溫度熱絕緣需求的類型,以便儲存食物、飲料及其他物品達一段時間。 Referring to the drawings, FIGS. 1 to 11 show a cooked food container 1 constructed according to the first preferred embodiment of the present invention. The container 1 (which is substantially in the shape of a cylinder) includes a sealable lid 10 and a container body 20, and the lid is placed above the container body. As shown in FIG. 1, the container is in an airtightly closed state, wherein the container body 20 in the container is well sealed. The container may be of a type that needs to maintain high or low temperature thermal insulation in order to store food, beverages and other items for a period of time.

可密封蓋10包含具有頂板12的蓋本體11;具有樞接端131及自由端132的手動件13,該樞接端131樞接安裝於頂板12上,該自由端132可用於操作該手動件;可操作地耦合於頂板 12的底板14;以及配置在頂板12與底板14之間的可移動板15。為了樞接安裝於頂板12上之目的,手動件13設置有在樞接端131之相對側的兩個樞點133。如顯示於圖2中,在該手動件之樞接端131處,介於兩個樞點133之間的延伸件134經側向形成為可操作地與可移動板15旋轉鄰接。手動件13可對著樞接端131樞轉,以密封或開封容器1。 The sealable cover 10 includes a cover body 11 having a top plate 12; a manual part 13 having a pivotal end 131 and a free end 132, the pivotal end 131 is pivotally mounted on the top plate 12, and the free end 132 can be used to operate the manual part ; Operatively coupled to the top plate 12 of the bottom plate 14; and the movable plate 15 arranged between the top plate 12 and the bottom plate 14. For the purpose of being pivotally mounted on the top plate 12, the manual member 13 is provided with two pivot points 133 on opposite sides of the pivot end 131. As shown in FIG. 2, at the pivoting end 131 of the manual member, the extension 134 between the two pivot points 133 is laterally formed to be operatively adjacent to the movable plate 15 in rotation. The manual member 13 can pivot against the pivot end 131 to seal or unseal the container 1.

轉為參照圖3至圖5,繪示著具有頂板12的蓋本體11。該蓋本體具有從蓋本體之周邊向下延伸的周部111。周部111經組態及定尺寸以覆蓋容器本體20之開口,且經形成有用於與對應螺紋配對接合的內螺紋,該等對應螺紋係形成在容器本體20之一外表面上。 Turning to FIGS. 3 to 5, a cover body 11 with a top plate 12 is shown. The cover body has a peripheral portion 111 extending downward from the periphery of the cover body. The peripheral portion 111 is configured and dimensioned to cover the opening of the container body 20, and is formed with internal threads for mating engagement with corresponding threads, which are formed on an outer surface of the container body 20.

如所繪示,頂板12包含四個扣合片121,該等扣合片121以相等的角度間隔從其下表面周向地向下延伸。該等扣合片121各自具有軀幹部1211及配置在軀幹部1211之一端處的朝外鉤1212。頂板12進一步包含在頂板12之中心的接收腔室122,該接收腔室122用於容納手動件13。接收腔室122經如此組態為允許手動件13在容器1之關閉狀態下與頂板12齊平,如顯示於圖1中。接收腔室122具有用於允許手動件13之樞接端131通過其中的通道以鄰近抵靠該可移動板的窗口124,其將於下文中討論。接收腔室122進一步具有在其兩側之相對的兩個凹口123,且該等凹口123以該等凹口123分別承載形成在手動件13之樞接端131上的兩個樞點133之方式而經定位及定尺寸,從而允許手動件13相對於頂板12的樞轉運動。在此實施例中,手動件13經允許以介於0°與90°之間的角度而相對於頂板12樞轉。 As shown, the top plate 12 includes four buckling pieces 121, and the buckling pieces 121 extend circumferentially downward from the lower surface thereof at equal angular intervals. Each of the fastening pieces 121 has a trunk portion 1211 and an outward hook 1212 arranged at one end of the trunk portion 1211. The top plate 12 further includes a receiving chamber 122 in the center of the top plate 12, and the receiving chamber 122 is used for accommodating the manual part 13. The receiving chamber 122 is so configured to allow the manual member 13 to be flush with the top plate 12 when the container 1 is closed, as shown in FIG. 1. The receiving chamber 122 has a passage for allowing the pivoting end 131 of the manual member 13 to pass therethrough to be adjacent to the window 124 against the movable plate, which will be discussed below. The receiving chamber 122 further has two opposite notches 123 on both sides thereof, and the notches 123 respectively carry the two pivot points 133 formed on the pivot end 131 of the manual part 13 by the notches 123 In this way, it is positioned and dimensioned to allow the pivoting movement of the manual member 13 relative to the top plate 12. In this embodiment, the manual member 13 is allowed to pivot relative to the top plate 12 at an angle between 0° and 90°.

圖5係沿圖1之線I-I截取的頂板12之剖面圖。三個扣合片121可見於此剖面圖中,且用於樞接手動件13之接點133的該等凹口123變得更明顯。 Fig. 5 is a cross-sectional view of the top plate 12 taken along the line I-I of Fig. 1. The three buckling pieces 121 can be seen in this cross-sectional view, and the notches 123 for pivotally connecting the contacts 133 of the manual part 13 become more obvious.

底板14在此實施例中實質上係一圓盤形狀,且包含上板部141(由例如塑膠材料或矽製成)及下板部142(由例如不鏽鋼或鋁的金屬材料製成)。一般而言,上板部141及下板部142藉由所屬技術領域中已知的黏著劑或其他方法來固定在一起。所建議的是,直接與容器1中的高溫內容物接觸的金屬的下板部142提供對高溫內容物的耐久性及抵抗性。如可見於圖2中,四個扣合短片143經產生於上板部141之一頂面上,並經定位以對應於該等扣合片121以可鬆開的方式與該等扣合片121扣合。在此實施例中,該等扣合短片143藉由將底板14相對於頂板11旋轉而與該等扣合片121扣合,藉此底板14與頂板12針對其等之組裝而固定扣合。 The bottom plate 14 is substantially a disc shape in this embodiment, and includes an upper plate portion 141 (made of plastic material or silicon) and a lower plate portion 142 (made of metal material such as stainless steel or aluminum). Generally speaking, the upper plate portion 141 and the lower plate portion 142 are fixed together by an adhesive or other methods known in the art. It is suggested that the metal lower plate portion 142 that directly contacts the high-temperature content in the container 1 provides durability and resistance to the high-temperature content. As can be seen in FIG. 2, the four fastening short pieces 143 are generated on a top surface of the upper plate portion 141, and are positioned to correspond to the fastening pieces 121 in a releasable manner with the fastening pieces 121 buckle. In this embodiment, the buckling short pieces 143 are buckled with the buckling pieces 121 by rotating the bottom plate 14 relative to the top plate 11, so that the bottom plate 14 and the top plate 12 are fixedly buckled for assembly.

本發明之特徵的其中一者係如繪示於圖6中的可移動板15,其係在頂板12與底板14之間以可移動的方式來配置。可移動板15包含形成有突起部152的板構件151(見圖2)。可移動板15進一步包含從板構件151之周邊延伸的壁153,且四個槽孔154對應該等扣合片121而定位。可移動板15之壁153具有小於扣合片121之軀幹部1211之長度的一高度,使得可移動板於扣合片之長度方向上在該容器處於氣密關閉狀態的一第一下位置(見圖10)與該容器處於開封狀態的一第二上位置(見圖11)之間係可移動的。頂板12之該等扣合片121可移動地通過個別槽孔154,以與底板14之該等扣合短片143扣合。將瞭解的是,移動板15相對於該頂板係不可旋轉的,因為該等扣合片121之設置。 One of the features of the present invention is the movable plate 15 shown in FIG. 6, which is arranged in a movable manner between the top plate 12 and the bottom plate 14. The movable plate 15 includes a plate member 151 formed with a protrusion 152 (see FIG. 2). The movable plate 15 further includes a wall 153 extending from the periphery of the plate member 151, and four slots 154 are positioned corresponding to the fastening pieces 121. The wall 153 of the movable plate 15 has a height less than the length of the torso portion 1211 of the fastening piece 121, so that the movable plate is at a first lower position in the airtight closed state of the container in the length direction of the fastening piece ( (See Fig. 10) and a second upper position (See Fig. 11) where the container is in an unsealed state. The fastening pieces 121 of the top plate 12 movably pass through the individual slots 154 to buckle with the fastening pieces 143 of the bottom plate 14. It will be understood that the movable plate 15 is not rotatable relative to the top plate because of the arrangement of the fastening pieces 121.

突起部152具有實質平坦的頂面1521及下凹的底面1522。頂面1521鄰近抵靠手動件13之延伸件134,使得其受手動件13所施加的動作影響。下凹的底面1522經組態以緊貼地承接一彈簧構件(例如壓縮彈簧16)之錨端(anchoring end)。如可見於圖8中,壓縮彈簧16經設置以持續地施加一向上力至可移動板15,以致使可移動板15在由手動件13施加至可移動板15上的壓力移除之後來向上移動,其反之導致壓縮彈簧16被鬆開。壓縮彈簧16之另一端與底板14之上板部141接觸。換言之,手動件13相對於頂板12的樞轉運動可驅使可移動板15在該第一下位置與該第二上位置之間向上及下移動。 The protrusion 152 has a substantially flat top surface 1521 and a concave bottom surface 1522. The top surface 1521 is adjacent to the extension piece 134 of the hand piece 13 so that it is affected by the action exerted by the hand piece 13. The concave bottom surface 1522 is configured to snugly receive the anchoring end of a spring member (such as the compression spring 16). As can be seen in Fig. 8, the compression spring 16 is arranged to continuously apply an upward force to the movable plate 15, so that the movable plate 15 moves upward after the pressure applied to the movable plate 15 by the manual member 13 is removed. Movement, which in turn causes the compression spring 16 to be released. The other end of the compression spring 16 is in contact with the upper plate portion 141 of the bottom plate 14. In other words, the pivotal movement of the manual member 13 relative to the top plate 12 can drive the movable plate 15 to move up and down between the first lower position and the second upper position.

現回頭參照圖6及圖7,頸部155從可移動板15之底部向下並周向地延伸。凸緣156經形成在頸部155之一外表面上以與密封構件17接合,其將於下文中討論。 Referring now to FIGS. 6 and 7, the neck 155 extends downward and circumferentially from the bottom of the movable plate 15. A flange 156 is formed on an outer surface of the neck 155 to engage with the sealing member 17, which will be discussed below.

密封構件17設置於蓋本體11與底板14之間。圖9繪示密封構件17之例示性構造,其包含第一部分171,該第一部分171具有凹槽173(該凹槽173接合於形成在可移動板15之頸部155上的凸緣156)及第二彎曲部分172,該第二彎曲部分172延續第一部分171並從該第一部分171側向延伸。當可移動板15由該手動件導致而向下移動來壓縮壓縮彈簧16並到達該第一下位置時,第二彎曲部分172經定形及定尺寸以偏向抵靠容器本體20之內壁;且當手動件13向上旋轉、可移動板15由壓縮彈簧16導致而向上移動到達該第二上位置時,該第二彎曲部分172被鬆開。在可移動板15之該第一下位置,密封構件17之第二彎曲部分172經偏向而擴展並形成介於蓋10與容器本體20之間的一密封(見圖10)。 介於蓋10與容器本體20之間的密封構件17幫助保存儲存在容器本體20中的物品,諸如食物物品及/或飲品。欲取用儲存在容器本體20中的物品,使用者將手動件13向上旋轉90°以鬆開密封構件17,導致密封構件17從容器本體20之內壁偏離並返回其原先未壓縮之形式,且從而從容器本體20鬆開蓋10。使用者現能夠輕易地從容器本體20移除蓋10,以取用包含於其中的內容物。 The sealing member 17 is provided between the cover body 11 and the bottom plate 14. 9 shows an exemplary structure of the sealing member 17, which includes a first portion 171 having a groove 173 (the groove 173 is joined to the flange 156 formed on the neck 155 of the movable plate 15) and The second curved portion 172 continues the first portion 171 and extends laterally from the first portion 171. When the movable plate 15 is caused by the manual member to move downward to compress the compression spring 16 and reach the first lower position, the second curved portion 172 is shaped and sized to be biased against the inner wall of the container body 20; and When the manual member 13 rotates upward and the movable plate 15 moves upward due to the compression spring 16 to reach the second upper position, the second curved portion 172 is released. In the first lower position of the movable plate 15, the second curved portion 172 of the sealing member 17 is deflected to expand and form a seal between the lid 10 and the container body 20 (see FIG. 10). The sealing member 17 between the lid 10 and the container body 20 helps preserve the items stored in the container body 20, such as food items and/or drinks. To access the articles stored in the container body 20, the user rotates the manual part 13 upward by 90° to loosen the sealing member 17, causing the sealing member 17 to deviate from the inner wall of the container body 20 and return to its original uncompressed form. And thereby, the lid 10 is released from the container body 20. The user can now easily remove the cap 10 from the container body 20 to access the contents contained therein.

參照圖10及圖11,現將闡述依據本發明之藉由樞轉安裝於蓋10上的手動件13而將容器1密封的機構。此等兩圖式繪示手動件13、可移動板12及密封構件17之運動。 10 and 11, the mechanism for sealing the container 1 by pivoting the manual member 13 mounted on the lid 10 according to the present invention will now be explained. These two figures illustrate the movement of the manual part 13, the movable plate 12 and the sealing member 17.

圖10顯示蓋10使容器本體20氣密,且容器1係處於其氣密關閉狀態。如所繪示,容器1係雙層壁構造之類型,其提供一良好的絕緣性能。當使用者欲將蓋10置於容器本體20上方並密封該容器本體,他可藉由將手動件13之自由端132實施至手動件13平行(即,呈0°之角度)平放在頂板12上的程度而相對於頂板12向下樞轉手動件13。因為手動件13之樞接端131作用在可移動板15之突起部152上,可移動板15經驅使而向下移動至其第一下位置。在手動件13之樞接端131處的延伸件134下壓可移動板15之突起部152之頂面1521,且因此下壓壓縮彈簧16時,手動件13與頂板12齊平。與可移動板15之凸緣156接合的密封構件17接著經迫使而將第二彎曲部分172偏向並壓抵容器本體20之內壁21,從而使容器本體20氣密(圖10)。在此關閉且密封的狀態下,容器1具有極好的密封緊密性及熱絕緣能力。 Figure 10 shows that the lid 10 makes the container body 20 airtight, and the container 1 is in its airtight closed state. As shown, the container 1 has a double-walled structure, which provides a good insulation performance. When the user wants to place the lid 10 above the container body 20 and seal the container body, he can place the free end 132 of the manual part 13 parallel to the manual part 13 (that is, at an angle of 0°) and place it on the top plate With respect to the top plate 12, the manual member 13 pivots downwardly relative to the top plate 12. Because the pivot end 131 of the manual member 13 acts on the protrusion 152 of the movable plate 15, the movable plate 15 is driven to move downward to its first lower position. The extension 134 at the pivot end 131 of the manual member 13 presses the top surface 1521 of the protrusion 152 of the movable plate 15, and therefore when the compression spring 16 is pressed downward, the manual member 13 is flush with the top plate 12. The sealing member 17 engaged with the flange 156 of the movable plate 15 is then forced to bias and press the second curved portion 172 against the inner wall 21 of the container body 20, thereby making the container body 20 airtight (Figure 10). In this closed and sealed state, the container 1 has excellent tightness and thermal insulation.

當使用者欲將蓋10從容器本體20分離以放置內容物或取用儲存在容器本體20中的內容物時,使用者可將手動件13之 自由端132處翻起90°,由手動件13之樞接端131施加至可移動板15之突起部152上的壓力經移除,其藉由壓縮彈簧17(其總是施加一向上彈簧力至可移動板15上)導致可移動板15向上移動至其第二上位置。密封構件17接著經鬆開而恢復其未壓縮之狀態(圖11)。在未壓縮之狀態下,密封構件17與容器本體20之內壁21保持離一小距離,因此允許蓋10不費力地從容器本體20以螺旋的方式轉開。 When the user wants to separate the cover 10 from the container body 20 to place the contents or take the contents stored in the container body 20, the user can set the manual part 13 The free end 132 is turned up by 90°, and the pressure applied by the pivoting end 131 of the manual member 13 to the protrusion 152 of the movable plate 15 is removed, which is compressed by the spring 17 (which always exerts an upward spring force To the movable plate 15) causes the movable plate 15 to move upward to its second upper position. The sealing member 17 is then loosened to restore its uncompressed state (Figure 11). In the uncompressed state, the sealing member 17 is kept at a small distance from the inner wall 21 of the container body 20, thus allowing the lid 10 to be easily rotated away from the container body 20 in a spiral manner.

如上文所討論,藉由將該等扣合短片143與該等扣合片121扣合的方式而使底板14固定至頂板12,且在手動件13之樞轉運動之過程期間底板14係實質上不可移動地與頂板12耦合。因此,底板14相對於容器本體20的位置水平維持不變。清楚的是,容器1之內容積(即,由底板14及容器20之內壁21所界定的空間)在藉由手動件13之操作而開啟或關閉該容器的過程期間將不改變。不像習知容器其內容積由於增加之內壓力而減少,透過依據本發明的蓋10之該容器1之關閉及密封將不減少容器1之內容積且因此內壓力亦不增加。此提供開啟及關閉可密封容器的一不費力之解決方案,其有益於老人及孩童使用。 As discussed above, the bottom plate 14 is fixed to the top plate 12 by buckling the buckling short pieces 143 with the buckling pieces 121, and the bottom plate 14 is essentially the same during the pivoting movement of the manual member 13 The upper part is immovably coupled with the top plate 12. Therefore, the position level of the bottom plate 14 relative to the container body 20 remains unchanged. It is clear that the internal volume of the container 1 (ie, the space defined by the bottom plate 14 and the inner wall 21 of the container 20) will not change during the process of opening or closing the container by the operation of the manual member 13. Unlike the conventional container whose internal volume is reduced due to the increased internal pressure, the closure and sealing of the container 1 through the lid 10 according to the present invention will not reduce the internal volume of the container 1 and therefore the internal pressure will not increase. This provides an effortless solution for opening and closing the sealable container, which is beneficial to the elderly and children.

圖12至圖18繪示根據本發明之第二較佳實施例所建構的一容器。此實施例之容器係實質上與顯示在第一實施例中的容器1相同的結構,並包含可密封蓋10及容器本體20,該蓋10置於該容器本體上方。可密封蓋10包含具有頂板12的蓋本體11;具有樞接端131及自由端132的手動件13,該樞接端樞接於頂板12上,該自由端可用於操作該手動件;可操作地耦合於頂板12的底板14;可移動地配置在頂板12與底板14之間的可移動板15;彈簧構 件16,其經迫使而將可移動板15向上移動;以及密封構件18,其經安裝以偏向或遠離容器本體20之內壁21。 12 to 18 show a container constructed according to the second preferred embodiment of the present invention. The container of this embodiment has substantially the same structure as the container 1 shown in the first embodiment, and includes a sealable lid 10 and a container body 20, and the lid 10 is placed above the container body. The sealable cover 10 includes a cover body 11 having a top plate 12; a manual part 13 having a pivot end 131 and a free end 132, the pivot end is pivotally connected to the top plate 12, and the free end can be used to operate the manual part; Ground is coupled to the bottom plate 14 of the top plate 12; the movable plate 15 is movably arranged between the top plate 12 and the bottom plate 14; spring structure 16 which is forced to move the movable plate 15 upwards; and a sealing member 18 which is installed to be biased toward or away from the inner wall 21 of the container body 20.

此實施例之蓋10與第一實施例之該者不同處在於,頂板12額外形成有向下延伸之壁125,該壁125例如藉由包覆成型(overmoulding)緊密地抵靠蓋本體11之周部111之內表面。在此案例中,內螺紋經形成在頂板12之向下延伸之壁125之內表面上,用於與形成在該容器本體之外表面上的對應螺紋配對接合。頂板12之壁125與該蓋本體之周部的包覆成型可提供蓋10整體之額外保護及絕緣。 The difference between the cover 10 of this embodiment and the first embodiment is that the top plate 12 is additionally formed with a downwardly extending wall 125, and the wall 125 tightly abuts against the cover body 11, for example, by overmoulding. The inner surface of the circumference 111. In this case, internal threads are formed on the inner surface of the downwardly extending wall 125 of the top plate 12 for mating engagement with corresponding threads formed on the outer surface of the container body. The overmolding of the wall 125 of the top plate 12 and the periphery of the cover body can provide additional protection and insulation of the cover 10 as a whole.

本第二實施例之容器與上文第一實施例中討論者的另一區別在於密封構件。此實施例之密封構件18係顯示於圖16中。密封構件18經組態以包含第一部分181,該第一部分181具有可接合於底板14之外邊緣的凹槽183及第二部分182,該第二部分182延續第一部分181並從該第一部分向上延伸。當可移動板15藉由手動件13擠壓而向下移動達到其到第一下位置時,第二部分182緊貼地抵靠可移動板15之外表面,並經驅使以偏向抵靠容器本體20之內壁21。在此狀態下,介於密封構件18與容器本體20之間的接觸面積增加,從而在其等之間產生一密封(圖17)。當手動件13經翻起90°,可移動板15由於壓縮彈簧16而經驅動向上移動至其第二下位置,密封構件18接著被鬆開並與容器本體20之內壁21保持距離。介於密封構件18與容器本體20之內壁21之間的接觸面積減少,使得密封動作被消除,其中蓋10係鬆弛地座落於該容器之開口,其準備藉由將蓋10移除而被開啟。 Another difference between the container of this second embodiment and the one discussed in the first embodiment above is the sealing member. The sealing member 18 of this embodiment is shown in FIG. 16. The sealing member 18 is configured to include a first portion 181 having a groove 183 that can be joined to the outer edge of the bottom plate 14 and a second portion 182 that continues the first portion 181 and extends upward from the first portion extend. When the movable plate 15 is squeezed by the manual member 13 to move downward to reach its first lower position, the second part 182 closely abuts the outer surface of the movable plate 15 and is driven to bias against the container The inner wall 21 of the body 20. In this state, the contact area between the sealing member 18 and the container body 20 increases, thereby creating a seal between them (Figure 17). When the manual member 13 is turned up by 90°, the movable plate 15 is driven to move up to its second lower position due to the compression spring 16, the sealing member 18 is then released and keeps a distance from the inner wall 21 of the container body 20. The contact area between the sealing member 18 and the inner wall 21 of the container body 20 is reduced, so that the sealing action is eliminated. The lid 10 is loosely seated on the opening of the container, which is ready to be removed by removing the lid 10 Was turned on.

在上文描述的實施例中,除了該底板之金屬下板部之 外,該蓋及該容器本體之組件較佳地係由聚合物或塑膠製成,其可輕易地製造、清洗及儲存。較佳地,聚合物或塑膠可選自聚甲醛(polyoxymethylene,POM)及丙烯腈丁二烯苯乙烯(acrylonitrile butadiene styrene,ABS)。然而,應瞭解的是,該容器之蓋及其他組件可由任何合適材料或數個材料製成。 In the above-described embodiment, except for the metal lower part of the bottom plate In addition, the components of the lid and the container body are preferably made of polymer or plastic, which can be easily manufactured, cleaned and stored. Preferably, the polymer or plastic may be selected from polyoxymethylene (POM) and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS). However, it should be understood that the lid and other components of the container can be made of any suitable material or materials.

因此,本發明提供一容器,其包含一容器本體及具有一底板的一可密封蓋,且不論該容器之開啟或關閉,所述底板之位置水平在該蓋經置於該容器本體上方後將不改變。此設計致使該容器之內容積維持不變,且藉由提供配置在頂板與底板之間的可移動板來達成此技術效果,其可被提起或降低以鬆開或壓壓緊密封構件而抵靠該容器本體。 Therefore, the present invention provides a container that includes a container body and a sealable lid with a bottom plate, and regardless of whether the container is opened or closed, the position of the bottom plate is horizontal when the lid is placed above the container body. not changing. This design causes the internal volume of the container to remain unchanged, and this technical effect is achieved by providing a movable plate arranged between the top plate and the bottom plate, which can be lifted or lowered to loosen or compress the sealing member to resist By the container body.

此外,該容器可為了清潔目的而輕易地組裝或拆卸,因為該蓋之所有組件可輕鬆地彼此分離。 In addition, the container can be easily assembled or disassembled for cleaning purposes because all the components of the lid can be easily separated from each other.

上文描述者係用於熱絕緣食物容器的可密封蓋之較佳實施例。將理解的是,該蓋可用於意欲在容器之材料可承受的任何溫度下容納固體或液體內容物的容器之所有種類。 The above description is a preferred embodiment of a sealable lid for a thermally insulated food container. It will be understood that the lid can be used for all types of containers intended to contain solid or liquid contents at any temperature that the material of the container can withstand.
