- The following describes a preferred embodiment of the present invention by referencing the attached drawings.
-
FIG. 1 is a section view of the internal structure of the container assembly of the present invention andFIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of Part B ofFIG. 1 . - As illustrated here, the present invention is comprised of the
container body 100, thetransfer tube 200 featured in it, and thequality maintenance unit 300. - The
container body 100 features theinternal space 101 that accommodatescontents 500 which are fluids and thenozzle assembly 110 at the top that ejects thecontents 500. - Depending on the type of contents in the
internal space 101, thecontainer body 100 is made of synthetic resin, or of metal such as aluminum or aluminum alloy, allowing for a variety of applications and modifications. - In other words, if it accommodates colloid fluids with certain viscosity such as detergent like shampoo or body washer or kitchen detergent, it can be made of synthetic resin; if it accommodates chemicals such as hairspray, paint, adhesive, insect repellent, or spray pain killer, since the
container body 100 acts as a pressure housing, it should be made of metal such as the types described above. - On the container body 100 a protruding part can be added to help users grab it and use it more conveniently, or other applications or modifications can be made to the design, such as a concave surface in the middle of the container body to apply pressure to eject the
contents 500 properly. - In addition, the
nozzle assembly 110 is designed to let flow or dispense thecontents 500 in theinternal space 101 by means of push operation, but since it has a similar structure to existing ones, its detailed structure and mechanism will not be described here. - The
transfer tube 200 is connected to thenozzle assembly 110 and into the internal space, and forms a fluid path on which thecontents 500 are transferred through thenozzle assembly 110. Not only does it act as a transfer path allowing thecontents 500 to be absorbed and ejected through thenozzle assembly 110, but it also serves as a support member that provides space and area where thequality maintenance unit 300 as described below is mounted. - The
quality maintenance unit 300 is coupled to more than onetransfer tube 200 and moves along with it, while mixing thecontents 500 in theinternal space 101 and maintaining the state and quality of thecontents 500 to be ejected through thenozzle assembly 110. - Here the
quality maintenance unit 300 should provide protection against deterioration or deformation in the physical appearance of thecontents 500 in theinternal space 101 caused by a variety of structures and embodiments, such as rotation, reciprocation, or elastic deformation within certain limits as shown inFIGS. 1 and 2 , which will be described in detail later. - While the embodiment of the present invention as described above can apply, the following embodiments can be also made possible:
- To begin with, if the
contents 500 accommodated by thecontainer body 100 are hair spray, paint or adhesive, it can congeal or harden if not used for a long time and may not be ejected through thenozzle assembly 110. Therefore, there should be at least oneball 400 for mixing purposes that can move freely in theinternal space 101 of thecontainer body 100. - Here, such a
ball 400 should be of the size and weight that does not cause the ball to collide with thequality maintenance unit 300 or affect the operation of thequality maintenance unit 300. - Therefore, the user can prevent the deterioration of the
contents 500 and maintain their quality by grabbing thecontainer body 100 and shaking it multiple times for a certain time period with a certain frequency. - Meanwhile, the
quality maintenance unit 300 is featured in thetransfer tube 200 and designed to maintain the quality of thecontents 500 of theinternal space 101, which also includesmovers 310 andmultiple blades 320 as shown inFIGS. 1 and 2 . - The
movers 310 are coupled to the outside surface of the transfer tube and rotate clockwise and counterclockwise, whilemultiple blades 320 are coupled to the outside surface of eachmover 310 and rotate along with themover 310. - Here, the
multiple blades 320 connected to themover 310 rotate clockwise and counterclockwise, practically mixing thecontents 500, and they are made flat and widen towards the outer edges. - These
multiple blades 320 can be given an inclination relative to themovers 310 to maximize the effects of mixing thecontents 500 by the rotating force. - Also, though it has not been specifically illustrated, a system like a spring can be mounted between the
mover 310 and thetransfer tube 200 allowing themover 310 to rotate clock-/counterclockwise rotating motion around the axis of thetransfer tube 200 while being connected to push operation up/down reciprocating motion of thenozzle assembly 110 to rotate themultiple blades 320. - If the
movers 310 are not used for a long time, since the load of amover 310 may cause it to drop to the bottom of thecontainer body 100, each mover should be kept at a certain height orprotrusions 315 can be added so that themover 310 can rotate clock- or counterclockwise. - Those
protrusions 315 created on the outside surface of thetransfer tube 200 prevent themovers 310 from moving further down than a certain location.Multiple protrusions 315 are arranged on thetransfer tube 200 lengthwise whilemultiple movers 310 are arranged on thetransfer tube 200 lengthwise. - The
movers 310 are made to rotate in different directions depending on circumstances, causing a swirl in theinternal space 101 and mixing thecontents 500 evenly. - In another embodiment,
multiple beads 321 can be placed in the direction theblades 320 are formed to increase the efficiency of mixing by adding loads on theblades 320. - These
beads 321 rotate along with eachblade 320 or increase mixing efficiency by producing several swirls near the surface of theblade 320, depending on the rotation of theblades 320. - Those
blades 320 can be arranged in helical or radial shape with different heights along the outside surface of themovers 310 as shown inFIG. 2 , increasing the efficiency of mixing and helping maintain the quality of thecontents 500. - These
multiple blades 320 can be made as flat plates but also as frames with the edges illustrated as members of a steel wire or narrow, long rod. Multiple wires are then arranged width- and lengthwise, andmultiple beads 321 can be coupled though so that the beads can freely rotate on each wire. - In the embodiment above, the user can lift up the
container body 100 and shake it to allow theaforementioned ball 400 to maintain the quality of thecontents 500, and make thequality maintenance unit 300 including themovers 310 andblades 320 mix thecontents 500, contributing to quality maintenance. - The present invention allows for a variety of applications and modifications, such as that the user can operate the
quality maintenance unit 300 by grabbing and shaking thecontainer body 100, or turn it clockwise or counterclockwise using the mechanism of the aforementioned spring when operating thenozzle body 110. - In another embodiment of the present invention, as shown in
FIG. 3 , the efficiency of mixing thecontents 500 can be increased using the elastic deformation of acoil spring 330. - In other words, in the
quality maintenance unit 300, themovers 310 are coupled tocoil springs 330 andmultiple blades 320 are then coupled to eachmover 310. - The
coil spring 330 is coupled on the outside surface of thetransfer tube 200, producing elastic deformation lengthwise along thetransfer tube 200 caused by vibration arising from the user's grabbing and shaking of thecontainer body 100. - When coupled to the
coil spring 330, the mover interacts with the elastic deformation of thecoil spring 330 along the length of thetransfer tube 200, allowing for reciprocating motion to a certain extent. - The
multiple blades 320 are coupled on the outside surface of thismover 310 and move up and down along with themover 310, helping to mix thecontents 500 and preventing deterioration. - Here, the internal surface of the
mover 310 should be placed with a certain clearance from the outside surface of thetransfer tube 200 when coupled to thecoil spring 330 so that themover 310 can move up and down by interacting with the elastic deformation of thecoil spring 330 caused by the reciprocating motion of thetransfer tube 200 when the user shakes thecontainer body 100 or operates thenozzle assembly 110 using the pushbutton. - In another embodiment,
multiple beads 321 can be placed in the direction theblades 320 are formed to increase the efficiency of mixing by adding loads on theblades 320. - These
beads 321 allow eachblade 320 to interact with themover 310, or increase mixing efficiency by producing several swirls near the surface of theblade 320, depending on the motion of theblades 320. - At the same time, as illustrated above, the
multiple blades 320 can be arranged in helical or radial shape with different heights along the outside surface of themovers 310, increasing mixing efficiency and helping maintain the quality of thecontents 500. - In addition, as described above, these
multiple blades 320 can be made as flat plates but also as frames with the edges illustrated as members of a steel wire or narrow, long rod. Multiple wires are then arranged width- and lengthwise, andmultiple beads 321 can be coupled though so that the beads can freely rotate on each wire. - In other words, in the aforementioned embodiment, the user can lift up the
container body 100 and shake it to allow theaforementioned ball 400 to maintain the quality of thecontents 500, and make thequality maintenance unit 300 including themovers 310 andblades 320 mix thecontents 500, contributing to quality maintenance. - In another embodiment as shown in
FIG. 4 , the efficiency of mixing thecontents 500 can be increased using the elastic deformation of the mixingspring 350. - In other words, the user can apply to the quality maintenance unit 300 a structure in which a moving
ring 340 is coupled to amixing spring 350, and a mixingbody 360 is coupled to themixing spring 350. - Each moving ring 34 has a bigger inner diameter than the outer diameter of the
transfer tube 200 and multiple moving rings can be coupled to thetransfer tube 200 lengthwise, while mixingsprings 350 are multiple members coupled to those movingrings 340 in helical direction allowing for elastic deformation. - The mixing
body 360 is a heavy object coupled to each end of multiple mixing springs 350 and increases the efficiency of mixing the contents by increasing the motion caused by the elastic deformation of the mixing springs 350. - Also, these moving
rings 340 can sink to the bottom of theinternal space 101 due to the weight of the movingrings 340 if thecontainer body 100 is not used for a long time. To prevent this, retainingring ribs - The retaining
ring ribs transfer tube 200, and a pair of them has a bigger outer diameter than the inner diameter of each movingring 340, and moving rings are placed between a pair of theribs - Here the retaining
ring ribs transfer tube 200, or can be made detachable. - If the retaining
ring ribs transfer tube 200, the spacing interval can be freely adjusted and movingrings 340 can be placed between a pair of the retainingring ribs container body 100. - Therefore, if the spacing between the pair of retaining
ring ribs rings 340 also becomes greater, increasing mixing efficiency. - Therefore, the technical idea of the present invention is to provide a container assembly which helps maintain the quality of the contents in the container body to ensure the contents can be ejected properly.
- Also, this invention may be modified in various ways by a person who has common knowledge in this field within the extent of the basic idea of the invention.
