Description

Storage box and cover

The present invention relates to a storage box and a cover, and more particularly to a storage box and a cover made of silicone.

Most of the sealed boxes for storing foods are made of plastic materials, but plastic materials may release toxic substances and do not comply with food safety regulations. Food grade silicone materials have been gradually used in tableware or food containers because they are less toxic.

For example, Taiwan Patent No. M451864 discloses a foldable lunch box structure comprising a container and an upper cover. The container is made of silicone, which is resistant to high temperatures and has flexibility and foldability. However, this patent does not describe the material from which the upper cover is made, and because the silicone rubber is less flexible, it is presumed from the disclosure of the patent that the upper cover should not be made of silicone rubber, but may be a plastic material. There are still concerns about food safety.

Moreover, when the upper cover is combined with the container, the four corners of the upper cover are respectively sandwiched between the frame of the top of the container and the nip portion of the four corners thereof. The upper cover can be flipped because the clips of the nips can be flipped Between the clip and the frame, the container has four nips, and it is necessary to flip the nips one by one to insert the corners of the upper cover, which is inconvenient in operation.

Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide a storage box which is made of silicone and which is easy to cover.

Further, another object of the present invention is to provide a closure which is made of silicone and which is easily covered in a container.

Therefore, the novel storage box comprises a container and a cover. The container includes a body of glue, the body having a bottom wall and a surrounding wall extending upwardly from an outer periphery of the bottom wall, the bottom wall and the surrounding wall cooperating to define a chamber having an opening. The cover is repositionably mounted on the container to close the opening, and includes a cover made of a rubber and a first metal ring embedded in the cover. The cover has a base covering the opening, and a skirt extending from the periphery of the base to surround the surrounding wall, the first metal ring being embedded at the base and adjacent to the periphery to reinforce the cover.

Preferably, wherein the surrounding wall of the container has a flange adjacent to the opening and extending outward.

Preferably, the base of the cover forms a convex annular protrusion for abutting against the inner circumference of the surrounding wall of the container and engaging the surrounding wall with the skirt.

Preferably, the base portion forms a convex rib ring corresponding to the first metal ring embedding, and the top surface of the surrounding wall forms an annular groove to fit the rib ring.

Preferably, the container further comprises a second metal ring embedded in the surrounding wall adjacent to the opening.

Preferably, wherein the surrounding wall of the container is elastically deformable such that the container can be compressed.

Preferably, the skirt of the cover is flipped at a first position facing the inner side of the base and a second position facing the outer side of the base.

Preferably, the base of the cover is centrally arched to increase the accommodation space of the storage box.

The effect of the novel is that the container and the cover of the novel storage box are mainly made of silicone rubber, and the whole can meet the requirements of food safety. Moreover, the cover has a flippable skirt, which not only facilitates the user's operation to cover or remove the cover from the container, but also has a resilient portion that can be tightly wrapped around the surrounding wall of the container. The cover is firmly bonded to the container and the chamber can be sealed to increase the freshness preservation function of the food.

Referring to Figures 1 to 4, a first preferred embodiment of the present invention includes a container 1 and a cover 2.

The container 1 includes a body 11 made of silicone and a metal ring 12. The body 11 has a bottom wall 111 and a surrounding wall 112 extending upward from the outer periphery of the bottom wall 111. The bottom wall 111 and the surrounding wall 112 cooperate to define a chamber 115. The chamber 115 has an upwardly facing opening 116 having a flange 114 extending adjacent the opening 116 and extending outwardly To increase the strength of the top end of the surrounding wall 112. The metal ring 12 is embedded adjacent the opening 116 of the surrounding wall 112 to further strengthen the surrounding wall 112 to increase its rigidity.

The cover 2 is removably covered in the container 1 to close the opening 212, and includes a cover 21 made of a rubber and a metal ring 22 embedded in the cover 21. The cover 21 has a base 211 covering the opening 212, and a skirt 212 extending from the periphery of the base 211 to surround the surrounding wall 112. The base 211 defines a convex annular projection 214 for abutting against the inner circumference of the surrounding wall 112 of the container 1. The metal ring 22 is embedded in the base portion 211 and near the periphery to reinforce the cover 2, so that the cover 2 has rigidity and is easily taken to cover or separate from the container 1.
