Description

    TECHNICAL FIELD
  • The present invention relates to a reception apparatus that is used by being coupled to a neck of a container so that the reception apparatus is applicable to necks of other containers through the container.
  • BACKGROUND ART
  • There are related arts disclosed in PCT/KR2008/4210 which was invented by the present inventor.
  • DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION Technical Problem
  • In the case of PCT/KR2008/4210 that is a related art, for example, a thread having a size of about 26.78 MM to about 28 MM is formed within a bottle cap. In addition, one bottle cap may be assembled with a container neck having a size of about 26.78 MM to about 28 MM.
  • In the technical constitution of the present invention, for example, to couple a reception apparatus having a previously set standard to a container neck (e.g., the container neck having a size of about 26.78 MM to about 28 MM) having a different standard, a flexible threaded part may be provided on a lower coupling part of the reception apparatus to achieve objects of the present invention.
  • Technical Solution
  • A reception apparatus of the present invention includes first and second threads to couple an inner thread of a threaded part of the reception apparatus to a bent thread of a container neck, thereby coupling the reception apparatus to a container neck having a different standard. Particularly, the threaded part having the first thread may have a relatively thin thickness so that the threaded part is flexibly applied to the thread of the container neck corresponding thereto.
  • In one example of the present invention, when the inner thread of the bottle cap is suitable for a container neck having a size of about 28 MM, and a container neck has a size of about 26.78 MM, it may be difficult to couple the reception apparatus to the container neck without using a separate connection device. However, according to the present invention, at least one or more threads having different sizes may be provided on the inside of the flexible threaded part. Thus, one reception apparatus may be applicable to a container neck having an approximate value in size.
  • Advantageous Effects
  • Even though the container neck does not match the reception apparatus, the flexible threaded part that is applicable to the container neck having a different standard may be provided. Thus, it may be unnecessary to manufacture separate bottle caps or container necks having various standards.

  • BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
  • According to a reception apparatus 1 of the present invention, an upper cap 2 or other unit for opening contents of a receiving part 3 received in the reception apparatus 1 is disposed above a main body. Also, a guide part 7 and a threaded part 4 that is a coupling part are disposed on a lower portion of the reception apparatus 1, and a first thread 5 and a second thread 6 are disposed within the threaded part 4.
  • Also, the thread disposed within the threaded part 4 that is the lower coupling part includes the first thread 5 and the second thread 6. The thread is configured to be coupled to necks of containers having a plurality of standards different from each other. For this, the threaded part 4 on which the first thread 5 is disposed may have a thin thickness so that the threaded part 4 is instantly expanded and assembled when a thread 201 of a container neck 200 is large.
  • Also, the second thread 6 that is couplable to a container neck having a relatively large standard than that of the first thread 5 is disposed under the first thread 5 so that one reception apparatus 1 is couplable to a plurality of container necks.
  • Also, an assembly part that is capable of being assembled with the other container neck may be disposed under the second thread 6. In this case, the assembly part may be variously designed so that the assembly part is pushed and closed in a one-touch manner and then be lifted to open the container.
  • In non-explained reference numerals in the drawing, a reference numeral 8 represents a container neck space, a reference numeral 9 represents a sealing part, a reference numeral 28 represents a protrusion, and a reference numeral 500 represents a skirt.
  • As described above, in FIGS. 1 to 3, when the reception apparatus 1 is disposed on the container neck 200 and then is coupled to the container neck 200, the first thread 5 meets with temporary resistance against the thread 201 of the container neck 200, and thus the threaded part 4 is expanded. In this process, when the reception apparatus 1 is more coupled, the second thread 6 disposed on the lower portion is closely fixed to the thread 201 of the container neck 200 as shown in FIG. 1.
  • According to the above-described features, even though the first thread 5 contacts an outer diameter portion of the thread 201 to resist, the threaded part 4 on which the first thread 5 is disposed may be expanded so that the second thread 6 disposed under the first thread 5 is coupled to the thread 201. This is done because the threaded part 4 on which the first thread 5 has a thin thickness so that the threaded part is expandable.
  • Thus, the reception apparatus 1 may be formed of a soft resin such as a PE than a hard resin such as a PP that is a synthetic resin material. If the reception apparatus 1 is formed of the PP, the threaded part 4 may be formed of a soft material and also have a significantly thin thickness.
  • FIG. 2 is a view of a state in which a container neck 300 having an outer diameter less than that of the container neck 200 of FIG. 1 is applied to the reception apparatus 1. Here, the first thread 5 is coupled without meeting with resistance against a thread 301.
  • FIG. 3 is a detailed view of the threaded part 4. Particularly, it may be seen that the first thread 5 has a relatively thin thickness that that of the second thread 6.
  • According to another embodiment of the present invention (see FIG. 6), an auxiliary support 120 is additionally disposed on the outside of a main body 10. When the reception apparatus 1 on which the auxiliary support 120 is disposed is assembled toward the container neck 200, a lower end of a lower threaded part 4-A of the main body 10 is spread outward. Here, a portion of the spread lower threaded part 4-A is defined as a main body space 11. When the reception apparatus 1 is coupled with respect to the auxiliary support 120, the auxiliary support 120 descends along the thread disposed on the main body corresponding to the auxiliary support. In this process, the thread or the protrusion disposed inside the threaded part 4 may be hung on the thread 201 of the container neck 200 to improve a sealing force.
  • Also, FIG. 6 illustrates a state before the reception apparatus 1 is disposed on and coupled to the container neck 200, and FIG. 4 illustrates a state of a connection part 15 disposed on a portion of the main body 10. According to features of the connection part, when the auxiliary support 120 contracts the threaded part 4-A of the main body 10 inward, the threaded part 4-A may be easily contracted by the auxiliary support 120 because the connection part 15 has a relatively thin thickness than other portions.
  • Also, as shown in FIG. 5, since the main body space 11 split by a predetermined length toward a lower end thereof is provided, the threaded part 4-A may be easily contracted by the downward movement of the auxiliary support 120.
  • According to further another embodiment (see FIG. 7), FIG. 7 illustrates an application example of the present invention in which the reception apparatus 1 includes various receiving parts 3. Referring to FIG. 7, when a soft part 20 disposed on an upper end of a foldable part 16 is pressed in use, the foldable part 16 having a dome shape descends. In this process, a sealing part disposed under the receiving part 3 is broken by contents so that a heteromaterial within the receiving part 3 drops into the container and then is mixed.
  • As described above, the reception apparatus 1 used in the present invention may be changed in design of various receiving parts 3 and a method of opening the receiving parts.
  • Also, as shown in FIG. 7, the foldable part 16 having the dome shape may be molded by using a soft resin such as silicone (injection-molded by using a multi-injection molding machine) and then be folded to improve a restoring force. Alternatively, in a threaded part 4-B, a portion constituting the first thread 5 may constitute a soft-material molded portion 17.
  • According to features of the above-described constitutes, the first thread 5 may flexibly improve contact and coupling forces according to a size of the thread 201 of the container neck 200.
  • According to further another embodiment of the present invention (see FIG. 8), the present invention may be designed so that the reception apparatus 1 of the present invention is capable of being coupled to containers having various standards. According to the features, a threaded part 4-C has a predetermined angle and a thin thickness.
  • Also, in use, FIG. 8 illustrates an initial state that is assembled with the container neck 200. In this state, when the reception apparatus 1 further rotates, the reception apparatus 1 contacts the thread 201 and is flexibly expanded outward according to a size of the thread 201 and thus be coupled to the thread 201. Here, to improve the flexibility, other rubber material such as silicone may be dual-injected to a predetermined portion.
  • According to further another embodiment of the present invention (see FIG. 9), the current embodiment is similar to that of FIG. 8. However, according to features of the current embodiment, a portion of a threaded part 4-D is cut to improve elasticity (flexibility) of the threaded part 4-D. Then, the cut portion is treated as a flexible part 12. Here, this may be molded by using the multi-injection molding machine.
  • The flexible part 12 may be formed of a soft synthetic robber material such as silicone.
  • According to further another embodiment of the present invention (see FIGS. 10 and 12), to apply the reception apparatus to container necks having standards different from each other by using a single threaded part 4-E or 4-F, the threaded part 4-E or 4-F should have flexibility (elasticity). For example, when the threaded part 4-E or 4-F is disposed on the thread 201 of the container neck 200, the threaded part 4-E or 4-F may be spread outward along an outer diameter of the thread 210 or be pushed inward, and thus is closely attached to the thread 201.
  • For supplemental explain, FIGS. 10 and 11 illustrate an initial state in which the reception apparatus 1 is assembled with the container neck 200. In this state, when the reception apparatus 1 rotates toward the container neck 200, in the case of FIG. 10, an upper portion of the threaded part 4-E is spread outward with respect to a lower portion thereof or disposed inside the lower portion. Also, in the case of FIG. 11, a lower portion of the threaded part 4-F is flexible inward or outward with respect to an upper portion thereof. This may depend on a position of a cut space 13-A. That is, the cut space 13 may be set at various angles in vertical or horizontal directions.
  • According to further another embodiment of the present invention (see FIG. 12), FIG. 12 illustrates a modified example in which upper and lower portions of a threaded part 4-G are spread outward with respect to a center thereof. Furthermore, to improve elasticity, a soft resin such as silicone may be added to at least one of the upper and lower portions to form a flexible part 12. The flexible part 12 may be preferably molded by using a multi-injection molding machine. (FIG. 12 illustrates a process of initially assembling the reception apparatus 1 with the container neck 200)
  • According to further another embodiment of the present invention (see FIG. 13), FIG. 13 illustrates an example of a process of initially assembling with the container neck 200. According to feature of the current embodiment, a foldable threaded part 4-H is provided inside the reception apparatus 1. The foldable threaded part 4-H is inclined downward when injection molding is performed, and then, is maintained upward at a predetermined angle through a past-process. As a result, the foldable threaded part 4-H has elasticity.
  • Thus, the threaded part 4-H may be spread outward according to a size of the thread 201 of the container neck 200 or be assembled along the thread 201 while maintaining the elasticity toward the inside thereof. The foldable threaded part 4-H may have a circular shape, or a plurality of independent threaded parts 4-H which is cut at predetermined portions thereof may be provided. Furthermore, when the threaded part 4-H has the circular shape, the threaded part 4-H may be inclined at a predetermined angle to correspond to the thread 201. When the threaded part 4 is provided in plurality, the threaded parts 4 may have lengths (sizes) different from each other so that each of the threaded parts 4 having the different sizes are coupled to the corresponding thread 201 according to an angle of the thread 201 of the container neck 200.
  • According to further another embodiment of the present invention (see FIGS. 14 and 15), a threaded part 4-I or 4-J may be separately manufactured with a material having superior elasticity to maximize elasticity. Then, the threaded part 4-I or 4-J is assembled with the inside or the outside of the reception apparatus 1. FIGS. 14 and 15 illustrate an initial state in which the reception apparatus 1 is assembled with the container neck 200. When the reception apparatus 1 is assembled with the container neck 200, the threaded part 4-I or 4-J may be contracted or expanded according to a size of the thread 201 formed on the container neck 200 and then be coupled.
  • According to further another embodiment of the present invention (see FIGS. 16 and 17), the threaded part 4-K faces an upper side with respect to a lower side thereof. To realize the threaded part 4-K having a predetermined angle, an upwardly opened space 13-B is provided in consideration of manufacture of a mold. Also, at least two threaded parts 4-K may be operably provided on the container neck 200.
  • Also, FIG. 16 illustrates an initial state which is assembled with the container neck 200, and FIG. 17 illustrates an assembled state. An end of the threaded part 4-K is lifted upward and inward from the outside. When the reception apparatus 1 is coupled, as shown in FIG. 17, the threaded part 4-K may be contracted or expanded according to a size of the thread 201 and then be coupled.
  • According to further another embodiment of the present invention (S18), when an auxiliary support 120 is screw-coupled to the outside of the reception apparatus 1 in a rotation direction, the threaded part 4-L is clamped inward so that any container neck or the other container neck having a similar standard is applied to the thread. In some cases, a predetermined portion of the threaded part 4-L may be maintained in a cut shape.
  • According to further another embodiment of the present invention (see FIG. 19), a storage space 132 in which a heteromaterial is stored may be formed in the reception apparatus 1 including various threaded parts as described above. (FIG. 19 illustrates an initial state which is coupled to the container neck 200, and also, the threaded part 4-M may be contracted or expanded according to a size of the thread 201.
  • In use as described above, when a cover disposed on the outside of the elastic part 130 formed of a soft resin such as silicon or the like is removed, and an end on which a stopper 131 is disposed is pressed, the elastic part 131 is folded downward. Simultaneously, a breaking protrusion disposed under the stopper 131 to lengthily extend may a sealing part, which has a thin film shape to seal a lower end of a storage space 132, so that a heteromaterial within the storage space 132 drops down and is mixed.
  • According to further another embodiment of the present invention (see FIG. 20), a threaded part 4-N of the present invention includes a first thread 5 having a thin thickness to provide elasticity. A second thread 6 disposed under the first thread 5 is foldable. Thus, when the first thread 5 operates and then is coupled to the container neck 200, the second thread 6 may provide the elasticity so that the reception apparatus 1 moves downward without being disrupted with respect to a skirt of a bottle cap remaining on the container neck 200. Here, the second thread 6 may be manufactured in a partially cut shape.
  • Referentially, the threaded part 4-N may be called a coupling part, and the present invention may have the same means.
  • As described above, in summary of fundamental technologies of the present invention, the reception apparatus used to be coupled to the other container neck having a different standard may be classified under the general term of an apparatus in which various heteromaterials such as liquid or powder are injected into the reception apparatus, and when the reception apparatus is coupled to the container neck, or the main body of the reception apparatus or the other portion such as an upper stopper disposed in an upper side is touched or opened after the heteromaterial reception apparatus is coupled to the container neck, the heteromaterial contained in the reception apparatus drops into the container and is mixed, or a solid content having taste and flavor injected into the reception apparatus through an upper opening of the reception apparatus is dissolved and discharged while a liquid contained in the container is discharged through the reception apparatus.
