Description
VACUUM CLIP APPARATUS AND VACUUM PACK USING
THE SAME
Technical Field
[I] The invention relates to a vacuum clip apparatus and a vacuum pack using the same, more specifically to the vacuum clip apparatus and the vacuum pack capable of keeping for a long time by closing an opening part of the vacuum pack and by forming a vacuum in the vacuum pack.
Background Art [2] Generally, a vacuum packer is formed by coupling a base member and a cover member by using a hinge and a case is closed to wrap in vacuum after a vacuum pack is located between the base member and the cover member. [3] Fig. 1 shows a perspective view of a conventional slant vacuum packer (see Korean application number, 20-12005-18805). [4] As shown in Fig. 1, the conventional slant vacuum packer comprises the base member 10 and the cover member 20. [5] A heater 16 is mounted in front of the base member 10 to thermally seal the vacuum pack and a vacuum pump (not shown) is embedded in the base member 10. [6] Moreover, the cover member 20 is hinged to a rear portion of the base member 10 and a pressure part 26 corresponding to the heater 16 is mounted on a front of the base member 10. [7] A guide part 29 is formed on both sides of the cover member 20 to accurately seat on the base member 10. [8] The top of the base member 10 is formed with slant downward to face forward and the lateral side of the base member 10 has a shape of a right-angled triangle. [9] An upper chamber 22 is formed to be opened downward on the cover member 20, and a lower chamber 12 which corresponds to the upper chamber 22 is formed to be opened upward on the base member 10. [10] The lower chamber 12 includes an air exhaust port 14 for inhaling air which is connected to a vacuum pump(not shown) mounted on the base member.
[I I] Packing members 13, 23 are mounted on the upside of the upper chamber 22 and the downside of the lower chamber 12 respectively.
[12] On the other hand, a downward protrusion 24 which is protruded in downside is formed in the upper chamber 22. [13] Moreover, a locking device (now shown) is mounted on the cover member 20 and the base member 10 to use, wherein the locking device is described in Korean Utility Publication number, 20-0380444, 20-0375528, 20-0365095, and so on.
[14] Furthermore, switches 17, 18 and switch push parts 27, 28 are mounted in the cover member 20 and the base member 10 as described in Korean Utility Publication number, 20-0365095, so as to automatically vacuum and seal.
[15] However, the vacuum packer has a complex structure and lots of parts so that it costs expensive and is heavy. Due to the thermal sealing, the vacuum pack is not easily opened after sealing.
[16] Additionally, it might be generated that the vacuum pack can not be sealed due to weak points of the thermal sealing.
[17] Moreover, the vacuum pack sealed by the conventional vacuum device keeps the vacuum state in the first time, but air is flown in as time goes by, so that it is difficult to keep the vacuum state for a long time.

[156] Moreover, a second protrusion 1220 is formed in the front of both lateral sides of the intermediate plate 1200.
[157] The cover 1300 is arranged in the upper side of the intermediate plate 1200 to rotate, and the front of both lateral sides is mounted to rotate on the second hinge protrusion so as to form a second hinge part.
[158] Therefore, the front part of the intermediate plate 1200 is coupled with the cover 1300 and the second hinge part to rotate, and the rear part of the intermediate plate 1200 is coupled with the base 1100 and the first hinge part to rotate, so that the base 1100, the intermediate plate 1200, and the cover 1300 form a zigzag shape when spreading out.

[167] At this time, the locking protrusion 1350 is restored to the former state by the elastic protrusion 1190 which supports on the lower part of the locking protrusion.
[168] A hanging protrusion 1330 is formed to project downward in the front and lower part of the cover 1300, and the hanging protrusion 1330 is formed to bend forward, and the fixing projection 1130 is formed to insert and hook the hanging protrusion 1330 in the bottom of the base 1100.
[169] Thus, when the cover 1300 is pushed in the direction of the base 1100, the cover
1300 swings about the second hinge part, and the hanging protrusion 1330 is inserted in the fixing projection 1130 as shown Fig. 7, so that the locking part 1500 and the cover 1300 are coupled with the base 1100.
[170] In other words, the locking part 1500 and the locking protrusion 1350 couples the rear part of the cover 1300 and the base 1100, and the hanging protrusion 1330 and the fixing protrusion 1130 couple the front part of the cover 1300 and the base 1100.
[171] Therefore, when the hanging protrusion 1330 is inserted in the fixing protrusion
1130, the cover 1300 is coupled with the base 1100 so that the bonding power between the cover 1300, the intermediate plate 1200, and the base 1100 is increased. [172] Thus, the opening part of the vacuum pack 1600 which is located between the base
1100 and the intermediate plate 1200 is more sealed in the front of the clip apparatus. [173] A first gear 1320 is formed with wrapping the second hinge part in the lateral side of the cover 1300 and a second gear 1250 engaged with the first gear 1320 in the lateral side of the intermediate plate 1200. [174] Therefore, when the cover 1300 swings about the second hinge part, the intermediate plate 1200 also swings about the second hinge part. [175] Hence, the space between the intermediate plate 1200 and the base 1100 gets narrower. When the cover 1300 swings, the intermediate plate 1200 is also swung and compressed downward by the first gear 1320 and the second gear 1250 so as to more close between the intermediate plate 1200 and the base 1100. [176] The inhaling part is arranged between the base 1100 and the intermediate plate 1200 and inhales air inside of the vacuum pack 1600, and comprises an abutment 1430 and a punch part 1410. [177] The abutment 1430 is mounted on the base 1100 to insert in the vacuum pack 1600.
The front of the abutment lays in a free state and the rear of the abutment is fixed to the base 1100. [178] As shown in Figs. 8 and 9, the punch part 1410 is mounted on the intermediate plate
1200 in the up direction of the abutment 1430, and the punch part 1410 penetrates and reciprocates by forming an exhaust port 1270 and a hole in the cover 1300. [179] A push button part 1411 is protruded on the upper of the punch part 1410 and a plurality of punch protrusions are formed on the lower of the punch part. [180] At this time, the punch protrusion has a slant bottom. [181] Moreover, a gasket 1414 is mounted to wrap a peripheral side of the push button part
1411, and the upper peripheral side of the gasket 1414 is protruded upward. A groove which has a shape corresponding to the gasket 1414 is formed on the exhaust port
1270, wherein the groove has a concave shape corresponding to the shape of the gasket which is protruded upward. [182] Furthermore, a support part 1420 is mounted to wrap and support the punch part
1410 in the intermediate plate 1200, and a penetrating hole 1425 is formed to penetrate the punch protrusion 1412 on the bottom of the support part 1420. And a spring 1450 is mounted between the support part 1420 and the punch part 1410 so that the punch part 1410 is always lifted upward by an elastic force of the spring 1450. [183] Additionally, a gasket 1460 is mounted to make airtight between the support part
1420 and the intermediate plate 1200, and a gasket 1440 is also mounted on the bottom of the support part 1420. [184] A guide protrusion 1445 is protruded upward on the gasket 1440 which is mounted on the support part 1420 or the bottom of the support part 1420, and the guide groove 1413 is formed on the punch part 1410, so that the punch part 1410 makes around trip upward and downward by guiding the guide groove 1413 to the guide protrusion 1445 when the punch part 1410 goes down.
[185] An inserting hole 1431 where the punch protrusion 1412 is inserted is formed to penetrate from the upper part to the bottom of the abutment 1430. A plurality of connection passages 1432 are formed with radial shape on the upper side and/or the lower side of the abutment 1430, and the connection passages 1432 are connected to the inserting hole 1431.
[186] In other words, the connection passage 1432 is formed to cave in while connecting the peripheral side and the inserting hole 1431 mutually.
[187] The abutment 1430 is preferably made of rubber material having an elastic force.
[188] A first embodiment of the present invention comprised as described above is operated as follows.
[189] When the locking part 1500 is pressed while the clip apparatus is closed, the cover 1300 is leased and the cover 1300 and the intermediate plate 1200 are spread out upward by the elastic force of the first spring 1170 and the second spring 1175.
[190] The opening part of the vacuum pack 1600 is put on a rubber pad 1120 of the base 1100 while the abutment 1430 is inserted into the opening part of the vacuum pack 1600.
[191] After that, when the forward area of the cover 1300 is pressed, the intermediate plate 1200 is rotated about the first hinge part in the direction of the base 1100.
[192] At this time, the hanging protrusion 1330 which is formed on the cover 1300 is arranged on the fixing projection 1130 which is formed on the base 1100.
[193] In this case, when the backward area of the cover 1300 is pressed, the cover 1300 is rotated about the second hinge part, and the hanging protrusion 1330 is hooked at the fixing projection 1130 so that the pressing protrusion 1230 formed in the intermediate plate 1200 presses and approaches closely to the opening part of the vacuum pack 1600 and the rubber pad 1120.
[194] Moreover, the first gear 1320 is formed on the lateral side of the cover 1300 and the second gear 1250 corresponding to the first gear 1320 is formed on the lateral side of the intermediate plate 1200. When the cover 1300 swings downward about the second hinge part, the intermediate plate 1200 also swings downward to compress more the opening part of the vacuum pack 1600 arranged between the pressing protrusion 1230 and the rubber pad 1120 so that air does not inhale and exhale.
[195] At this moment, not only the vacuum pack 1600 but also the abutment 1430 which is inserted into the vacuum pack 1600 is arranged between the pressing protrusion 1230 and the rubber pad 1120, and the abutment 1430 which is made of rubber operates like the rubber pad 1120 so as to prevent air from inflowing through the opening part of the vacuum pack 1600. [196] Moreover, the locking protrusion 1350 is inserted in the locking part 1500 mounted on the base 1100 at the backward area of the cover 1300 so that the cover 1300 is coupled with the base 1100. [197] And then, the push button part 1411 of the punch part 1410 is exposed outside through the hole which is made in the exhaust port 1270 of the intermediate plate 1200 and the cover 1300. [198] When the push button part 1411 as shown in Fig. 9 is pushed by an inhaling port
1700 which is connected to a vacuum pump (not shown), which is separately formed, the punch protrusion 1412 penetrates the penetrating hole 1425 which is formed in the support part 1420 by going down of the push button part 1411 and is inserted into the inserting hole 1431 of the abutment 1430. [199] In this time, the vacuum pack 1600 is arranged between the support part 1420 and the abutment 1430, so that the punch protrusion 1412 penetrates the vacuum pack 1600 to be inserted into the inserting hole 1431. [200] In this case, when the vacuum pump operates, the air which exists in the vacuum pack 1600 as shown in Fig. 9 moves into the support part 1420 via the connection passage 1432 and the inserting hole 1431 through the tore portion of the vacuum pack
1600, and the air is exhausted outside through the inhaling port 1700 which is inserted in the exhaust port 1270. [201] The hole which the air penetrates is formed on the peripheral side of the inhaling port
1700. [202] In this time, the bottom of the punch protrusion 1412 is cut with slant, so that the vacuum pack 1600 is more easily torn and the space between the penetrating hole 1425 of the support part 1420 and the punch protrusion 1412 is formed to easily and quickly move more air. [203] When the inhaling port 1700 is removed from the exhaust port 1270 by making the vacuum pack 1600 as a vacuum state, the punch part 1410 goes upward by the elastic force of the spring 1450 located between the support 1420 and the punch part 1410. [204] At this moment, the gasket 1414 which wraps the peripheral side of the push button part 1411 approaches closely to the exhaust port 1270 so as to prevent the air from inflowing and exhausting. [205] Moreover, the gasket 1414 which wraps the peripheral side of the push button part
1411 protrudes upward and the exhaust port 1270 has a shape corresponding to the gasket, so as to prevent the air from inflowing and exhausting by increasing the contact area between the gasket 1414 and the exhaust port 1270. [206] The vacuum pack 1600 which is completely laid in the vacuum is sealed by the clip apparatus to be kept. [207] Although the present invention has been described with reference to above mentioned the first embodiment, the description is illustrative of the invention is not to be construed as limiting the invention. Various modifications and variations may occur to those skilled in the art, without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, as defined by the appended claims.

[211] As shown in Figs. 10 to 20, the vacuum clip apparatus comprises a base 2100, an intermediate plate 2200, a cover 2300, a nozzle part 2470 and a locking part 2500.
[212] The base 2100 is arranged the lowest place of the clip apparatus. As shown in Fig. 12, a hinge supporting plate 2110 is formed in both lateral sides of the base and the locking part 2500 is formed in the rear of the base.
[213] The intermediate plate 2200 is mounted to rotate on the upper side of the base 2100. A first hinge protrusion 2210 is formed in the rear of both lateral sides and inserted into the hinge supporting plate 2110 which is formed on the both lateral sides of the base 2100 so as to form a first hinge part.
[214] Moreover, a second protrusion 2220 is formed in the front of both lateral sides of the intermediate plate 2200.
[215] The cover 2300 is arranged in the upper side of the intermediate plate 2200 to rotate, and the front of both sides is mounted to rotate on the second hinge protrusion 2220 so as to form a second hinge part. [216] Therefore, the front part of the intermediate plate 2200 is coupled with the cover
2300 on the second hinge part to rotate, and the rear part of the intermediate plate 1200 is coupled with the base 2100 on the first hinge part to rotate, so that the base 2100, the intermediate plate 2200, and the cover 2300 form a zigzag shape when spreading out.
[217] An opening part 2610 of a vacuum pack 2600 is arranged between the base 2100 and the intermediate plate 2200, and the opening part 2610 of the vacuum pack 2600 is compressed by mounting a rubber pad 2120 on the base 2100 and the intermediate plate 2200 as shown in Fig. 12.
[218] As shown in Figs. 16 and 17, a first spring 2170 is mounted between the base 2100 and the intermediate plate 2200 so as to elastically support the intermediate plate 2200 based on the base 2100, and a second spring 2175 is mounted between the intermediate plate 2200 and the cover 2300 so as to elastically support the cover 2300 based on the intermediate plate 2200.
[219] The first spring 2170 is a torsion spring and is mounted to wrap the first hinge part, more specifically the first hinge protrusion 2210 in the lateral side, and the second spring 2175 is a torsion spring and is mounted to wrap the second hinge part, more specifically the second hinge protrusion 2220 in the lateral side.
[220] Thus, the intermediate plate 2200 is elastically supported by the first spring 2170, and the cover 2300 is elastically supported by the second spring 2175, so that the cover 2300, the intermediate plate 2200, and the base 2100 keep the unfolding state in free condition.
[221] In this case, the first spring 2170 and the second spring 2175 are separately comprised, or are comprised with the zigzag shape as described in the second embodiment.
[222] As shown in Fig. 15, the locking part 2500 is mounted on the rear of the base 2100 to lock or lease the cover 2300, and is mounted on the base 2100 to rotate. An elastic protrusion 2190, as shown in Fig. 11, is formed to support and add the elastic force on the bottom of the locking part 2500 in the rear of the base 2100. A locking protrusion 2350, as shown in Fig. 11, is coupled with the cover 2300 and the base 2100 by being inserted to the locking part 2500 in the rear of the cover 2300.
[223] Therefore, when the cover 2300 is pressed downward, the locking protrusion 2350 is inserted into the locking part 2500 so as to the cover 2300 is coupled with the base 2100, and when the locking part 2500 is pressed, the cover 2300 is leased as shown in Fig. 16, so that the cover 2300 is unfolded upward by the elastic force of the second spring 2175.
[224] At this time, the locking protrusion 2350 is restored to the former state by the elastic protrusion 2190 which supports on the lower part of the locking protrusion.
[225] A hanging protrusion 2330 is formed to project downward in the front and lower part of the cover 2300, and the hanging protrusion 2330 is formed to bend forward, and the fixing projection 2130 is formed to insert and hook the hanging protrusion 2330 in the bottom of the base 2100. [226] Thus, when the cover 2300 is pushed in the direction of the base 2100, the cover
2300 swings about the second hinge part, and the hanging protrusion 2330 is inserted in the fixing projection 2130 as shown Fig. 17, so that the locking part 2500 and the cover 2300 are coupled with the base 2100. [227] In other words, the locking part 2500 and the locking protrusion 2350 couple the rear part of the cover 2300 and the base 2100, and the hanging protrusion 2330 and the fixing protrusion 2130 couple the front part of the cover 2300 and the base 2100.
Therefore, when the hanging protrusion 2330 inserted into the fixing projection 2130, the cover 2300 is coupled with the base 2100 so that the bonding power between the cover 2300, the intermediate plate 2200, and the base 2100 is increased. [228] Thus, the opening part 2610 of the vacuum pack 2600 which is located between the base 2100 and the intermediate plate 2200 is more sealed in the front of the clip apparatus. [229] A first gear 2320 is formed to wrap the second hinge part in the lateral side of the cover 2300, and a second gear 2250 engaged with the first gear 2320 is formed in the lateral side of the intermediate plate 2200. [230] Therefore, when the cover 2300 swings about the second hinge part, the intermediate plate 2200 also swings about the second hinge part. [231] Hence, the space between the intermediate plate 2200 and the base 2100 gets narrower. When the cover 2300 swings, the intermediate plate 2200 is also swung and compressed downward by the first gear 2320 and the second gear 2250 so as to more close between the intermediate plate 2200 and the base 2100. [232] An abutment 2430 is formed on the base 2100, and a pressure part 2420 is formed on the corresponding location to the abutment 2430 in the intermediate plate 2200. [233] As shown in Figs. 18 to 20, rubber pads 2432, 2440 are mounted on the upper part of the abutment 2430 and/or the lower part of the pressure part 2420. [234] An inhaling hole 2425 is formed at the center of the pressure part 2420, and an exhaust hole 2270 which is communicated with the inhaling hole 2425 is formed in the intermediate plate 2200. [235] The nozzle part 2470 is mounted between the base 2100 and the intermediate plate
2200, more specifically the nozzle part 2470 is mounted on the upper part of the abutment 2430, so that the abutment 2430 is disposed on the lower part of the nozzle part 2470, and the pressure part 2420 is disposed on the upper part of the nozzle part
2470. [236] The nozzle part 2470 is inserted inside of the vacuum pack 2600, and comprises a passage form part 2471 and a support part 2472. The passage form part 2471 is horizontally paralleled with the base 2100, and the support part 2472 is formed upward and downward on the lower part of the passage form part 2471 and mounted on the support part 2430 of the base 2100.
[237] At this time, the support part 2472 is formed on the upper part of the passage form part 2471 and can be mounted on the intermediate plate 2200.
[238] Although the support part 2472 can be formed on end of the passage form part 2471 , the support part 2472 is preferably formed a little inside of the passage form part 2471 not on end.
[239] The length of the passage form part 2471 is formed to be longer than the pressure part 2420 and/or the abutment 2430, and although the width of the passage form part 2471 is wider than the pressure part 2420 and/or the abutment part 2430 in drawings, the width of the passage form part 2471 may be formed narrower than the pressure part 2420 and/or the abutment 2430. The diameter of the support part 2472 is formed to be smaller than the diameter the abutment 2430.
[240] An embossing 2473 is formed on the upper part and/or the lower part of the passage form part 2471 to form a passage, and a spring 2431 is formed between the support part 2472 and the abutment 2430 so as to move the nozzle part 2470 upward and downward.
[241] As shown in Figs. 18 to 20, a press button part 2411 for opening and closing the exhaust hole 2270 is mounted to slide upward and downward between the exhaust hole 2270 and the pressure part 2420.
[242] A spring 2450 is mounted between the pressure part 2420 and the press button part 2411, so that the press button part 2411 is moved upward by elastic power of the spring 2450 in free condition to close the exhaust hole 2270 as shown in Fig. 18.
[243] On the other hand, a hole which is connected with the exhaust hole 2270 is formed on the cover 2300.
[244] Moreover, a gasket 2414 is mounted to wrap a peripheral side of the push button part 2411, and the upper peripheral side of the gasket 2414 is protruded upward. A groove which has a shape corresponding to the gasket 2414 is formed on the exhaust hole 2270, wherein the groove has a concave shape corresponding to the shape of the gasket which is protruded upward.
[245] Additionally, a gasket 2460 is mounted to make airtight between the pressure part 2420 and the intermediate plate 2200, and a rubber pad 2440 is also mounted on the bottom of the pressure part 2420 as described above.
[246] A guide protrusion 2445 is protruded upward on the pressure part 2420, and the guide groove 2413 is formed on the press button part 2411, so that the guide groove 2413 makes around trip upward and downward by guiding the guide groove 2413 to the guide protrusion 2445 when the pressure part 2420 goes down.
[247] An opening part 2610 in one direction and an inserting apparatus 2620 into which the nozzle part is inserted 2470 are formed in the vacuum pack 2600 used in the vacuum clip apparatus of the present invention as shown in Fig. 14.
[248] The inserting apparatus 2620 is formed to penetrate from the upper side to the bottom of the vacuum pack. The inserting apparatus 2620 which is formed on the upper side of the vacuum pack is laid on the passage form part 2471, and the inserting apparatus 2620 which is formed on the lower side of the vacuum pack is caught by the support part 2472 of the nozzle part 2420, so that the size of the inserting apparatus 2620 is preferably formed to be a little bit larger than the support part 2472.
[249] As shown in Fig. 14, one side of the inserting apparatus 2620 can be formed by being connected with the opening part 2610, and as shown in Fig. 21, also can be formed to penetrate from the upper side to the bottom in the vacuum pack 2620 while drawing closed curve without connecting with the opening part 2610.
[250] In this time, the size of the opening part 2610 is formed to be smaller than the abutment 2430 and the pressure part 2420, and the width of the passage form part 2471 is formed to be same or little narrower than the abutment 2430 and the pressure part 2420 so as to be inserted into the inserting apparatus 2620.
[251] Although, the inserting apparatus 2620 can be formed into a polygonal-shape, the inserting apparatus 2520 is preferably formed a curved line or a circle so as not to easily be cut out.
[252] As the above mentioned embodiment, the passage form part 2471 of the nozzle part 2470 in the present invention can be formed into a plate-shape, but it is also possible that the passage form part is formed into a hollow straw-shape and inserted into the inserting apparatus 2620 which is not connected with the opening part 2610 of the vacuum pack 2600, i.e., draws closed curve.
[253] In this time, a plurality of holes are formed on the passage form part to form the passage, and the length of the passage form part is formed to be longer than the abutment 2430 and the pressure part 2420, and the width of the passage form part is formed to be narrower than the abutment 2430 and the pressure part 2420.
[254] A second embodiment of the present invention comprised as described above is operated as follows.
[255] When the locking part 2500 is pressed while the vacuum clip apparatus is closed, the cover 2300 is leased, and the cover 2300 and the intermediate plate 2200 are spread out by the elastic force of the first spring 2170 and the second spring 2175 as shown in Fig. 12.
[256] In this case, a user inserts the opening part 2610 of the vacuum pack 2600 with the opening part 2620 in the direction of the nozzle part 2470. [257] At this time, as shown in Figs. 13 and 18, the nozzle part 2470 is inserted into the inserting apparatus 2620, and the opening 2610 is laid on the upper side of the rubber pad 2120 of the base 2100.
[258] The spring 2431 is mounted between the abutment 2430 and the nozzle part 2470 and lifted up from the abutment 2430, so that a user can easily insert the opening apparatus 2620 into the passage form part 2471 of the nozzle part 2470.
[259] When the vacuum pack 2600 is completely inserted to the
[260] inserting apparatus 2620 formed on the under part of the vacuum pack 2600 is contacted with the support part 2472 so as not to move any more.
[261] Therefore, the inserting apparatus 2620 which is formed on the upper side of the vacuum pack 2600 is disposed on the nozzle part 2470, more specifically on the upper side of the passage form part 2471, and the embossing 2473 of the passage form part 2471 is exposed on outside through the inserting apparatus 2620.
[262] After that, when the forward area of the cover 2300 is pressed, the intermediate plate 2200 is rotated about the first hinge part in the direction of the base 2100.
[263] At this time, the hanging protrusion 2330 which is formed on the cover 2300 is arranged on the fixing projection 2130 which is formed on the base 2100.
[264] In this case, when the backward area of the cover 2300 is pressed, the cover 2300 is rotated about the second hinge part and the hanging protrusion 2330 is hooked at the fixing projection 2130 so that the opening part 2610 of the vacuum pack 2600 disposed between the intermediate plate 2200 and the rubber pad 2120 formed on the base 2120 is pressed and approached closely.
[265] Moreover, the first gear 2320 is formed on the lateral side of the cover 2300 and the second gear 2250 corresponding to the first gear 2320 is formed on the lateral side of the intermediate plate 2200. When the cover 2300 swings downward about the second hinge part, and the intermediate plate 2200 also swings downward to compress more the opening part 2610 of the vacuum pack 2600 arranged between intermediate plate 2200 and the rubber pad 2120 of the base 2100, so that air does not inhale and exhale.
[266] Moreover, the locking protrusion 2350 is inserted in the locking part 2500 mounted on the base 2100 at the backward area of the cover 2300, so that the cover 2300 is coupled with the base 2100.
[267] At this time, the pressure part 2420 is moved in the direction of the support part 2430 while pressing the upper side of the vacuum pack 2600, the nozzle part 2470 and the spring 2431.
[268] The rubber pads 2440, 2432 are mounted on the pressure part 2420 and/or the abutment 2430 to compress more the vacuum pack 2600, so that external air influx through a space between the inserting apparatus 2620, pressure part 2420 and the abutment 2430 is intercepted. [269] The inhaling hole 2425 which is formed on the pressure part 2420 is communicated by contacting with the upper side of the passage form part 2471 on the nozzle part 2470, and the inserting apparatus of the vacuum pack 2620 is disposed on the upper side of the passage form part 2471, so that the inhaling hole 2425 is communicated with inside of the vacuum pack 2600 through the inserting apparatus 2620 of the vacuum pack and the passage form part 2471.
[270] And then, the push button part 2411 is exposed outside through the exhaust hole 2270 of the intermediate plate 2200 and the hole formed in the cover 2300.
[271] In this case, when the push button part 2411 as shown in Fig. 19 is pressed by an inhaling port 2700 which is connected to a vacuum pump (not shown), which is separately formed, the exhaust hole 2270 is opened by going down of the push button part 2411, so that the exhaust hole 2270 is communicated with the inside of the vacuum pack 2600 through the inhaling hole 2425 and the inserting apparatus 2620.
[272] In this time, when the vacuum pump operates, as an arrow shown in Fig. 19, the air in the vacuum pack 2600 is moved to the inserting apparatus 2620 through between space of embossing 2473 formed on the passage form part 2471, and the air is exhausted outside through the inhaling hole 2425 and the exhaust hole 2270.
[273] The hole which the air penetrates is formed on the peripheral side of the inhaling port 2700.
[274] When the inhaling port 2700 is removed from the exhaust hole 2270 by making the vacuum pack 2600 as a vacuum state, the push button part 2411 goes upward by the elastic force of the spring 2450 located between the pressure part 2420 and the push button part 2411.
[275] At this moment, the gasket 2414 which wraps the peripheral side of the push button part 2411 approaches closely to the exhaust hole 2270 so as to prevent the air from inflowing and exhausting.
[276] Moreover, the gasket 2414 which wraps the peripheral side of the push button part 2411 protrudes upward and the exhaust hole 2270 has a shape corresponding to the gasket, so as to prevent the air from inflowing and exhausting by increasing the contact area between the gasket 2414 and the exhaust hole 2270.
[277] The vacuum pack 2600 which is completely laid in the vacuum is sealed by the clip apparatus to be kept.
[278] Although the present invention has been described with reference to above mentioned the second embodiment, the description is illustrative of the invention is not to be construed as limiting the invention. Various modifications and variations may occur to those skilled in the art, without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, as defined by the appended claims.

[282] As shown in Figs. 22 to 27, the vacuum clip apparatus of the present invention comprises a first clip part 3100, a second clip part 3200, a nozzle 3300, an opening and shutting device 3400 and a locking part 3500. [283] As shown in Figs. 22 and 25, an opening part of a vacuum pack 3600 is laid between the first clip part 3100 and the second clip part 3200 and then is compressed and is sealed by being hinged between the backward areas of the first clip part 3100 and the second clip part 3200. [284] The locking part 3500 is mounted on both sides of the first clip part 3100, and the opening and shutting device 3400 is mounted in the middle of the first clip part 3100. [285] The nozzle 3300 is mounted to be attachable and detachable on the upper side of the second clip part 3200, and a lateral support plate 3250 is formed to wrap both sides of the first clip part 3100 on the both sides of the second clip part. [286] The nozzle 3300 is arranged between the first clip part 3100 and the second clip part
3200 so as to be inserted into the vacuum pack 3600 as shown in Fig. 26. [287] The opening and shutting device 3400 is mounted on the first clip part 3100 as shown in Fig. 23 so as to connect the nozzle 3300 to the outside. [288] The nozzle 3300 as shown in Fig. 30 comprises an insert part 3310 and an abutment
3320. [289] The insert part 3310 is inserted into the vacuum pack 3600 and a passage 3315 is formed on the top and the bottom respectively. [290] Although the passage 3315 is formed by digging a groove in this embodiment, it is possible to be formed by protruding. [291] The abutment 3320 is integrally formed with the insert part 3310 to be a little bit thicker than the rear part of the insert part 3310 on the backward area of the insert part
3310. The passage 3315 which is formed in the insert part 3310 and a passage 3315 which is connected with the passage 3315 are formed upward in the abutment.
[292] The abutment 3320 as shown in Figs. 24 to 26, contacts to the bottom of the first clip part 3100 and the upper side of the second clip part 3200.
[293] The upper side and the bottom of the abutment 3320 are flat and include an upper fixed protrusion 3325 and a lower fixed protrusion 3327 which are protruded respectively.
[294] At this time, the passage 3315 as shown in Fig. 24 is formed upward on the upper fixed protrusion 3325 and connects to the inhaling passage 3315 of the insert part 3310.
[295] As shown in Figs. 23 and 24, a first gasket 3450 which is contacted to the upper side of the abutment 3320 is mounted on the bottom of the first clip part 3100, and a second gasket 3210 which is contacted to the bottom of the abutment 3320 is mounted on the upper side of the second clip part 3200.
[296] An inhaling hole 3455 into which the upper fixed protrusion 3325 is inserted is formed on the first gasket 3450, and the lower fixed groove 3215 into which the lower fixed protrusion 3327 is inserted is formed on the second gasket 3210.
[297] At this time, the upper side shape of abutment 3320 and the bottom shape of the first gasket 3450 which is mounted on the first clip part 3100 are formed correspondingly each other. Also, the bottom shape of the abutment 3320 and the upper side shape of the second gasket 3210 which is mounted on the second clip part 3200 are formed correspondingly each other.
[298] In other words, the upper side and the bottom of the abutment 3320 are flat, and the bottom of the first gasket 3450 and the upper side of the second gasket 3210 are also flat, so that the first gasket 3450 contacts to the surface of the abutment 3320 and the second gasket 3210 contacts to the surface of the abutment 3320 as well.
[299] The opening and shutting device 3400 which communicates the nozzle 3300 with the outside is mounted on the first clip part 3100, and the opening and shutting device 3400 as shown in Figs. 23 and 24 comprises a housing 3410, an opening and shutting part 3430, a spring 3440, an upper gasket 3420, and a first gasket 3450.
[300] The upper gasket 3420 on which an exhaust hole 3425 is formed is mounted on the upper side of the housing 3410, and the first gasket 3450 on which the inhaling hole 3455 is formed is mounted on the lower side of the housing 3410.
[301] The opening and shutting part 3430 opens and closes the exhaust hole 3425 by contacting to the upper gasket 3420, and the spring 3440 is mounted between the opening and shutting part 3430 and the first gasket 3450 to add the elastic force to the opening and shutting part 3430.
[302] Thus, when the opening and shutting part 3430 moves downward with pressing the spring 3440 by an outside force, the exhausting hole 3425 are open, and in a free state, the opening and shutting part 3430 closes the exhausting hole 3425 by the elastic force of the spring 3440. [303] The upper fixed protrusion 3325 which the passage 3315 is formed upward is inserted to the inhaling hole 3455, so the nozzle 3300 and the opening and shutting device 3400 communicate each other, and the nozzle 3300 communicates with the outside by being open and close of the opening and shutting part 3430. [304] As shown in Figs. 25 and 26, a coupling protrusion 3230 is protruded upward on both tops of the second clip part 3200. [305] The middle diameter of the coupling protrusion 3230 is formed less than the upper diameter. [306] As shown in Figs. 25 and 26, the step plane is formed in the middle area of the coupling protrusion 3230. [307] The inserting hole 3130 to which the coupling protrusion 3230 is inserted is formed on the both sides of the first clip part 3100. [308] Moreover, the locking part 3500 which fixes the coupling protrusion 3230 to the first clip part 3100 is mounted on the both sides of the first clip part 3100, and the locking part 3500 includes a slider 3510 and a cover 3520. [309] Fig.27 shows the left side of the first clip part 3100 on which the slider 3510 and the cover 3520 are removed, and the right side of the first clip part 3100 on which only the cover 3520 is removed. [310] As shown Figs. 27 and 29, a coupling hole 3511 is formed on the slider 3510, and when the slider 3510 slides in the right and the left directions, the coupling hole 3511 is slid to insert to the coupling protrusion 3230. [311] The coupling hole 3511 includes a penetrating hole 3512 having larger diameter than the upper diameter of the coupling protrusion 3230, and a fitting hole 3513 is formed to communicate in the sliding direction of the slider 3510, i.e., in the right and the left directions, parallel, and long. [312] The diameter of the fitting hole 3513 is smaller than the upper diameter of the coupling protrusion 3230 and a little bit larger than the middle diameter of the coupling protrusion 3230. [313] As illustrated in Fig. 27, when the middle part of the coupling protrusion 3230 is inserted into the fitting hole 3513 by moving the slider 3510, the upper side of the coupling protrusion 3230 is hooked at the fitting hole 3513 so that the coupling protrusion 3230 does not fall downward because the upper diameter of the coupling protrusion 3230 is larger than the width of the fitting hole 3513. [314] Moreover, a grip part 3518 is formed on the upper side of the slider 3510. [315] A placing groove 3120 is formed to slide by placing the slider 3510 on the both tops of the first clip part 3100. [316] The inserting hole 3130 which is formed on the first clip part 3100 is mounded on the placing groove 3120, and as shown in Figs. 25 and 26 a third gasket 3140 is mounted on the lower part of the inserting hole 3130, and a fourth gasket 3240 is mounted on the peripheral side of the coupling protrusion 3230 at the second clip part 3200, so that when the first clip part 3100 and the second clip part 3200 are contacted each other, the space between the inserting hole 3130 and the coupling protrusion 3230 is closed against the outside as shown in Fig. 23.
[317] A bonding protrusion 3516 is protruded in the direction of the lateral support 3250 of the second clip part 3200 on the slider 3510, and bonding holes 3155, 3255 to which the bonding protrusion 3516 is inserted are formed on the both sides of the first clip part 3100 and the lateral support plate 3250 respectively.
[318] As shown in Fig. 27, the penetrating hole 3512 among the penetrating hole 3512 and the fitting hole 3513 is adjacently formed to the bonding protrusion 3516, so that when the bonding protrusion 3516 is inserted in the bonding holes 3155, 3255 by sliding the slider 3510, the coupling protrusion 3230 is inserted to the fitting hole 3513 at the penetrating hole 3512 at the same time.
[319] The cover 3520 is inserted to the placing groove 3120 while covering the slider 3510, and as shown in Fig. 28, a sliding hole 3525 which the grip part 3518 is arranged to insert is formed on the top, so that a user holds and moves the grip part 3518 which is exposed outside as shown in Figs. 22 and 23.
[320] On the other hand, an overhead press rubber 3190 is mounted on the rear area of the first clip part 3100 as shown in Figs. 24 to 26, and an under press rubber 3290 which contacts with the overhead press rubber 3190 is mounted on the rear area of the second clip part 3200.
[321] The overhead press rubber 3190 and the under press rubber 3290 are arranged in the rear of the nozzle 3300, so as to press the opening part of the vacuum pack 3600 as shown in Fig. 24.
[322] At this time, a mutual contact surface between the overhead press rubber 3190 and under press rubber 3290 may be formed flatly, but the contact surface is preferably formed to be curved as shown in Fig. 24.
[323] For example, as shown in Fig. 24, the overhead press rubber 3190 protrudes the center part downward, and the under press rubber 3290 caves the center part downward, so that the contact surface is formed into a 'v' shape.
[324] So, the opening part of the vacuum pack 3600 which is disposed between the overhead press rubber 3190 and the under press rubber 3290 can be more strongly pressed.
[325] A communicating hole 3610 and a fixing hole 3620 which draw closed curve to be adjacent to the opening part are formed in the vacuum pack 3600 used in the vacuum clip apparatus of the present invention as shown in Fig. 26. [326] The communicating hole 3610 as shown in Fig. 26 is inserted and fixed to the overhead fixed protrusion 3325 and the lower fixed protrusion 3327 so as to put on the abutment 3320. [327] At this moment, the size of the communicating hole 3610 is smaller than the first gasket 3450 and the second gasket 3210. [328] Moreover, the fixing hole 3620 is inserted and fixed to the coupling protrusion 3230, and the size of the fixing hole 3620 is smaller than the third gasket 3140 and the fourth gasket 3240. [329] Thus, when the first clip part 3100 is closed as shown in Fig. 24, the communicating hole 3610 is arranged between the top side of the first gasket 3450 and the abutment
3320, and the second gasket 3210 is arranged between the bottoms of the abutment
3320 to closely contact, and the fixing hole 3620 is arranged between the third gasket
3140 and the fourth gasket 3240 to closely contact so as to prevent from communicating with the outside. [330] A third embodiment of the present invention comprised as described above is operated as follows. [331] As shown in Fig. 25, the nozzle 3300 is separated from the second clip part 3200 by swing and being open the first clip part 3100. [332] The nozzle 3300 is inserted through the opening part of the vacuum pack 3600, and the upper fixed protrusion 3325 and the lower fixed protrusion 3327 of the nozzle 3300 are inserted to the communicating hole 3610 respectively which is formed on the top and bottom of the vacuum pack 3600. [333] The upper fixed protrusion 3325 and the lower fixed protrusion 3327 of the nozzle
3300 are inserted to a fuel of the vacuum pack 3600 respectively, and then the lower fixed protrusion 3327 is inserted and mounted to the lower fixed groove 3215 which is formed on the second gasket 3210 as shown in Figs. 24 and 26. [334] Moreover, as shown in Fig. 26, the fixing hole 3620 which is formed in both sides of the communicating hole 3610 of the vacuum pack 3600 is inserted to the coupling protrusion 3230 which is formed on the second clip part 3200. [335] Therefore, the vacuum pack 3600 is caught by the upper fixed protrusion 3325, the lower fixed protrusion 3327, and the coupling protrusion 3230 without swinging and separating from the vacuum clip apparatus 3600 optionally. [336] At this moment, the opening part of the vacuum pack 3600 is arranged between the overhead press rubber 3190 and the under press rubber 3290 which are formed in the rear area of the first clip part 3100 and the second clip part 3200. [337] When the first clip part 3100 is swung to be closed at the state of being shown in Fig.
26, the upper fixed protrusion 3325 which the passage 3315 is formed on upward is inserted in the inhaling hole 3455 of the first gasket 3450 as shown in Figs. 23 and 24.
[338] Thus, the inside of the vacuum pack 3600 communicates with the opening and shutting device 3400 through the nozzle 3300.
[339] In other words, the inhaling passage 3315 which is formed on the insert part 3310 of the nozzle 3300 is formed upward of the upper fixed protrusion 3325 through the inside of the abutment 3320, so that the inside of the vacuum pack 3600 communicates with the opening and shutting device 3400 through the passage 3315 which is formed on the nozzle 3300.
[340] At this time, the communicating hole 3610 is arranged between the first gasket 3450 and the top of the abutment 3320, and between the second gasket 3210 and the bottom of the abutment 3320 so as to prevent air of outside from in-flowing by compressing the communicating hole 3610.
[341] Also, the bottom of the first gasket 3450, the top and the bottom of the abutment
3320, and the top of the second gasket 3210 are formed flatly, and the passage 3315 is formed along to the inside of the abutment 3320, so as to prevent the air from inflowing through a space which is formed between the first gasket 3450, the abutment 3320, and the second gasket 3210.
[342] At this time, the abutment 3320 is hard material so as to prevent the surface of abutment 3320 from changing in the direction of inhaling passage 3315 which is formed on the inside.
[343] Moreover, as shown in Fig. 23 (a), the coupling protrusion 3230 is inserted to the inserting hole 3130 and the penetrating hole 3512, and the flowing of the air between the inside and the outside is shut out by mutually contacting between the third gasket 3140 and the fourth gasket 3240.
[344] On the other hand, the opening part of the vacuum pack 3600 is pressed by the upper press rubber 3190 and the under press rubber 3290, so as to prevent the air from flowing into the vacuum pack 3600 through the opening part.
[345] As the contact surface between the upper press rubber 3190 and the lower press rubber 3290 is formed to be curved, it is possible to press the opening part of the vacuum pack 3600 more strongly and prevent separation at the same time.
[346] Additionally, while the coupling protrusion 3230 is inserted to the penetrating hole
3512 of the slider 3510 as shown in Fig. 23(a), when a user grips and pulls the grip part 3518 of the slider 3510 in the lateral direction, the coupling protrusion 3230 is coupled with the fitting hole 3513 at the penetrating hole 3512 by movement of the coupling hole 3511 as shown in Figs. 23(b) and 27.
[347] Therefore, the upper part of the coupling protrusion 3230 is caught to the fitting hole
3513 having a small diameter, so that the first clip part 3100 and the second clip part 3200 are locked. [348] Moreover, the bonding protrusion 3516 is inserted to the bonding holes 3155, 3255 which are formed on the lateral support plate 3250 of the first clip part 3100 and the second clip part 3200 as shown in Fig. 23(b) according to movement of the slider 3510 in the lateral direction at the same time, so that the first clip part 3100 and the second clip part 3200 are strongly coupled once more with the coupling protrusion 3230 and the fitting hole 3513.
[349] In this condition, the conventional vacuum pump is mounted and an inhaling hose is inserted to the exhaust hole 3425 by using a vacuum apparatus having the inhaling hose.
[350] Then, the opening and shutting part 3430 goes down while pressing the spring 3440 downward by inserting the inhaling hose, so that the inhaling passage 3315 of the nozzle 3300 and the exhaust hole 3425 are communicated each other.
[351] In this case, when the vacuum pump are operated, the air of the inside of the vacuum pack 3600 flows into the opening and shutting device 3400 along to the inhaling passage 3315 which is formed on the nozzle 3300, and then flows out the outside through the exhaust port via the vacuum pump.
[352] When the air completely flows out from the vacuum pack 3600 to be in the vacuum state, the inhaling hose of the vacuum apparatus is extracted from the exhaust hole 3425.
[353] And then, the opening and shutting part 3430 closes the exhaust hole 3425 by the elastic force of the spring 3440 to keep the vacuum state in the vacuum pack 3600, and the vacuum pack 3600 is kept in getting bitten by the vacuum clip apparatus.
[354] Moreover, when the opening and shutting part 3430 is pressed by using a stick, etc. for extracting the food which is contained in the vacuum pack 3600, the air flows into the vacuum pack 3600 through the exhaust hole 3425 to lease the vacuum state, and then the locking part 3500 is leased and the first clip part 3100 is swung so that the food which is contained in the vacuum pack 3600 can extract.
[355] Thus, the vacuum pack 3600 may be reused so as to reduce the cost because the vacuum pack 3600 is pressed and sealed without thermally sealing.
[356] Although the present invention has been described with reference to above mentioned the third embodiment, the description is illustrative of the invention is not to be construed as limiting the invention. Various modifications and variations may occur to those skilled in the art, without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.

[360] As shown in Figs. 31 to 35, the vacuum clip apparatus of the present invention comprises a first clip part 4100, a second clip part 4200, a nozzle 44300, an opening and shutting device 4400, a locking part 4500, and a gutter 4260.
[361] As shown in Figs. 31 and 34, an opening part of a vacuum pack 4600 is laid between the first clip 4100 and the second clip 4200 and then is compressed and is sealed by being hinged between the backward areas of the first clip part 4100 and the second clip part 4200.
[362] The locking part 4500 is mounted on both sides of the first clip part 4100, and the opening and shutting device 4400 is mounted in the middle of the first clip part 4100.
[363] The nozzle 44300 is mounted to be attachable and detachable on the upper side of the second clip part 4200, and a lateral support plate 4250 is formed to wrap both sides of the first clip part 4100 on the both sides of the second clip part, and the gutter 4260 is mounted in the middle of the second clip part.
[364] The nozzle 44300 is arranged between the first clip part 4100 and the second clip part 4200 so as to be inserted into the vacuum pack 4600 as shown in Fig. 38.
[365] The opening and shutting device 4400 is mounted on the first clip part 4100 as shown in Figs. 32 and 33 so as to connect the nozzle 44300 to the outside.
[366] The nozzle 44300 as shown in Fig. 42 comprises an insert part 4310 and an abutment 4320.
[367] The insert part 4310 is inserted into the vacuum pack 4600 and an inhaling passage 4315 is formed on the top and the bottom of the insert part respectively.
[368] Although the inhaling passage 4315 is formed by digging a groove in this embodiment, it is possible to be formed by protruding.
[369] The abutment 4320 is integrally formed with the insert part 4310 to be a little bit thicker than the insert part 4310 on the backward area of the insert part 4310. [370] The inhaling passage 4315 which is formed in the insert part 4310, a first passage
4322 which the gutter 4260 is connected by, and a second passage 4326 which the gutter 4260 and the opening and shutting device 4400 are connected by are formed in the abutment 4320. [371] In other words, one end of the first passage 4322 is connected to the inhaling passage
4315 in the lateral direction, and the bottom of the first passage 4322 is open, and the upper side and the bottom of the second passage 4326 are open upward and downward. [372] The abutment 4320 as shown in Figs. 32 to 34 contacts to the bottom of the first clip part 4100 and the upper side of the second clip part 4200. [373] The upper side and the bottom of the abutment 4320 are flat and include an upper fixed protrusion 4325 and a lower fixed protrusion 4327 which are protruded respectively. [374] The second passage 4326 is formed upward in the upper fixed protrusion 4325, and the first passage 4322 and the second passage 4326 are formed downward in the lower fixed protrusion 4327 as shown in Figs. 33 and 42.
[375] Thus, the inhaling passage 4315 which is formed in the insert part 4310 communicates with the opening and shutting device 4400 via the first passage 4322 and the second passage 4326. [376] The gutter 4260 is mounted on the second clip part 4200 to be arranged between the nozzle 44300 and the opening and shutting device 4400, so as to collect rubbish which is flown into through the nozzle 44300. [377] Therefore, even though the rubbish of the vacuum pack 4600 is flown in through the nozzle 44300, the rubbish does not exhaust outside through the opening and shutting device 4400 because of collecting the rubbish in the gutter 4260. [378] The gutter 4260 includes a main body 4261 whose top is open, a gutter cover 4262 for covering the top of the main body, and a first filter 4263 which is embedded in the main body 4261. [379] A second gasket 4210 is mounted on the gutter cover 4262 as described as below, and a lower inserting hole 4215 for inserting the lower fixed protrusion 4327 is mounted on the second gasket 4210. [380] A lower fixed protrusion inserting hole 4264 for inserting the lower fixed protrusion
4327 is formed on the gutter cover 4262. [381] The first filter 4263 is made of a material having quality such as a sponge, so that only air among the matters which are flown in from the first passage 4322 is exhausted through the second passage 4326, and other matters are contained in the main body
4261 of the gutter. [382] The first filter 4263 is mounted to contact with the second passage 4326 so as to prevent the rubbish from exhausting through the second passage 4326.
[383] Thus, the air which is flown in through the inhaling passage 4315 moves into the gutter 4260 through the first passage 4322, and then the air flow again to the opening and shutting device 4400 through the second passage 4326.
[384] As shown in Figs. 32 and 33, the first gasket 4450 which is contacted with the upper side of the abutment 4320 is mounted on the bottom of the first clip part 4100, and the second gasket 4210 which is contacted with the bottom of the abutment 4320 is mounted on the gutter cover 4262.
[385] An inhaling hole 4455 into which the upper fixed protrusion 4325 is inserted is formed on the first gasket 4450, and the lower inserting hole 4215 into which the lower fixed protrusion 4327 is inserted is formed on the second gasket 4210.
[386] At this time, the upper side shape of the abutment 4320 and the bottom shape of the first gasket 4450 which is mounted on the first clip part 4100 are formed correspondingly each other. Also, the bottom shape of the abutment 4320 and the upper side shape of the second gasket 4210 are formed correspondingly each other.
[387] In other words, the upper side and the bottom of the abutment 4320 are flat, and the bottom of the first gasket 4450 and the upper side of the second gasket 4210 are also flat, so that the first gasket 4450 contacts with the surface of the abutment 4320 and the second gasket 4210 contacts with the surface of the abutment 4320 as well.
[388] The opening and shutting device 4400 which communicates between the nozzle 44300 and the outside is mounted on the first clip part 4100, and the opening and shutting device 4400 as shown in Figs. 32 and 33 comprises an opening and shutting housing 4410, an opening and shutting part 4430, a spring 4440, an upper gasket 4420, and a first gasket 4450.
[389] The upper gasket 4420 on which an exhaust hole 4425 is formed is mounted on the upper side of the opening and shutting housing 4410, and the first gasket 4450 on which the inhaling hole is formed is mounted on the lower side of the opening and shutting housing 4410.
[390] The opening and shutting part 4430 opens and closes the exhaust hole 4425 by contacting with the upper gasket 4420, and the spring 4440 is mounted between the opening and shutting part 4430 and the first gasket 4450 to add the elastic force to the opening and shutting part 4430.
[391] Thus, when the opening and shutting part 4430 moves downward with pressing the spring 4440 by an outside force, the exhaust hole 4425 are open, and in a free state, the opening and shutting part 4430 closes the exhaust hole 4425 by the elastic force of the spring 4440.
[392] The upper fixed protrusion 4325 which the second passage 4326 is formed upward is inserted to the inhaling hole 4455, and the lower fixed protrusion 4327 which the first passage 4322 and the second passage 4326 are formed downward is inserted to the lower inserting hole 4215 to communicate each other so that the nozzle 44300 communicates with the outside by being open and close of the opening and shutting part
4430. [393] As shown in Figs. 34 and 35, a coupling protrusion 4230 is protruded upward on both tops of the second clip part 4200. [394] The middle diameter of the coupling protrusion 4230 is formed less than the upper diameter. [395] As shown in Figs. 34 and 35, the step plane is formed in the middle area of the coupling protrusion 4230. [396] The inserting hole 4130 to which the coupling protrusion 4230 is inserted is formed on the both sides of the first clip part 4100. [397] Moreover, the locking part 4500 which fixes the coupling protrusion 4230 to the first clip part 4100 is mounted on the both sides of the first clip part 4100, and the locking part 4500 includes a slider 4510 and a cover 4520. [398] Fig. 39 shows the left side of the first clip part 4100 on which the slider 4510 and the cover 2530 are removed, and the right side of the first clip part 4100 on which only the cover 4520 is removed. [399] As shown in Figs. 39 and 41, a coupling hole 4511 is formed on the slider 4510, and when the slider 4510 slides in the right and the left directions, the coupling hole 4511 is slid to insert to the coupling protrusion 4230. [400] The coupling hole 4511 includes a penetrating hole 4512 having larger diameter than the upper diameter of the coupling protrusion 4230, and a fitting hole 4513 is formed to communicate in the sliding direction of the slider 4510, i.e., in the right and the left directions, parallel, and long. [401] The diameter of the fitting hole 4513 is smaller than the upper diameter of the coupling protrusion 4230, and a little bit larger than the middle diameter of the coupling protrusion 4230. [402] As illustrated in Fig. 39, when the middle part of the coupling protrusion 4230 is inserted into the fitting hole 4513 by moving the slider 4510, the upper side of the coupling protrusion 4230 is hooked at the fitting hole 4513, so that the coupling protrusion 4230 does not fall downward because the upper diameter of the coupling protrusion 4230 is larger than the width of the fitting hole 4513. [403] Moreover, a grip part 4518 is formed on the upper side of the slider 4510. [404] A placing groove 4120 is formed for sliding by placing the slider 4510 on the both tops of the first clip part 4100. [405] The inserting hole 4130 which is formed on the first clip part 4100 is mounded on the placing groove 4120, and a third gasket 4140 is mounted on the lower part of the inserting hole 4130, and a fourth gasket 4240 is mounted on the peripheral side of the coupling protrusion 4230 at the second clip part 4200, so that when the first clip part
4100 and the second clip part 4200 are contacted each other, the space between the inserting hole 4130 and the coupling protrusion 4230 is closed against the outside as shown in Fig. 32. [406] A bonding protrusion 4516 is protruded in the direction of the lateral support 4250 of the second clip part 4200 on the slider 4510, and bonding holes 4155, 4255 to which the bonding protrusion 4516 is inserted are formed on the both sides of the first clip part 4100 and the lateral support plate 4250 respectively. [407] As shown in Fig. 39, the penetrating hole 4512 among the penetrating hole 4512 and the fitting hole 4513 is adjacently formed to the bonding protrusion 4516, so that when the bonding protrusion 4516 is inserted in the bonding holes 4155, 4255 by sliding the slider 4510, the coupling protrusion 4230 is inserted to the fitting hole 4513 at the penetrating hole 4512 at the same time. [408] The cover 4520 is inserted to the placing groove 4120 while covering the slider 4510, and as shown in Fig. 40, a sliding hole 4525 which the grip part 4518 is arranged to insert is formed on the top, so that a user holds and moves the grip part 4518 which is exposed outside as shown in Figs. 31 and 32. [409] On the other hand, an overhead press rubber 4190 is mounted on the rear area of the first clip part 4100 as shown in Figs. 33 to 35, and a pressing grove 4290 on which the overhead press rubber 4190 is placed is formed on the rear of the second clip part
4200. [410] The overhead press rubber 4190 and the press groove 4290 are arranged in the rear of the nozzle 44300, so as to press the opening part of the vacuum pack 4600 as shown in
Fig. 33. [411] In this case, the bottom of the overhead press rubber 4190 is separated with slant in the both sides to be varied in pressing, and the pressing groove 4290 is formed a little bit concavely so as to set the position when the overhead press rubber 4190 is placed. [412] A communicating hole 4610 and a fixing hole 4620 draw closed curve to be adjacent to the opening part and are formed in the vacuum pack 4600 used in the vacuum clip apparatus of the present invention as shown in Fig. 43. [413] The communicating hole 4610 as shown in Fig. 35 is inserted and fixed to the overhead fixed protrusion 4325 and the lower fixed protrusion 4327 so as to put on the abutment 4320. [414] At this moment, the size of the communicating hole 4610 is smaller than the first gasket 4450 and the second gasket 4210. [415] Moreover, the fixing hole 4620 is inserted and fixed to the coupling protrusion 4230 and the size of the fixing hole 4620 is smaller than the third gasket 4140 and the fourth gasket 4240.
[416] Thus, when the first clip part 4100 is closed as shown in Fig. 33, the communicating hole 4610 is arranged between the top side of the first gasket 4450 and the abutment 4320, and the second gasket 4210 is arranged between the bottoms of the abutment 4320 to closely contact, and the fixing hole 4620 is arranged between the third gasket 4140 and the fourth gasket 4240 to closely contact so as to prevent from communicating with the outside.
[417] On the other side, as shown in Figs. 34 to 38, a fixing projection 4280 is formed in the rear of the second clip part 4200, and a hanging protrusion 4180 is formed in the rear of the first clip part 4100.
[418] The fixing projection 4280 comprises fixing support parts 4281, 4282 protruded upward, and a fixing plate 4283 which is bent forward and backward in the fixing support parts 4281, 4282.
[419] In this embodiment, the fixing support parts 4281, 4282 are formed with a little space in the front and in the rear, and the fixing plate 4283 is connected between the fixing support parts.
[420] The fixing support part 4282 which is formed in the front among the fixing support parts 4281, 4282 is formed to be smaller than the width of the fixing plate 4283.
[421] The hanging protrusion 4180 is formed at a position away from the rear of the first clip part 4100.
[422] When the first clip part 4100 and the second clip part 4200 are coupled with as shown in Figs. 34 and 38, the fixing projection 4280 is arranged between the hanging protrusions 4180.
[423] Thus, when the first clip part 4100 is swung to be closed, the hanging protrusion 4180 is inserted the lower part of the fixing plate 4283 of the fixing projection 4280, and when the clip part 4100 is more swung to be closed, the hanging protrusion 4180 is contacted with the lower part of the fixing plate 4283 and lifts the fixing plate 4283 upward.
[424] A fourth embodiment of the present invention comprised as described above is operated as follows.
[425] As shown in Fig. 34, the nozzle 44300 is separated from the second clip part 4200 by swing and being open the first clip part 4100.
[426] The nozzle 44300 is inserted through the opening part of the vacuum pack 4600 as shown in Fig. 43, and the upper fixed protrusion 4325 and the lower fixed protrusion 4327 of the nozzle 44300 are inserted to the communicating hole 4610 respectively which is formed on the top and bottom of the vacuum pack 4600.
[427] The upper fixed protrusion 4325 and the lower fixed protrusion 4327 of the nozzle 44300 are inserted to a fuel of the vacuum pack 4600 respectively, and then the lower fixed protrusion 4327 is inserted to the lower inserting hole 4215 which is formed on the second gasket 4210 as shown in Fig. 35. [428] Thus, the nozzle 44300 is mutually communicated with the gutter 4260 as shown in
Fig. 33. [429] Moreover, as shown in Fig. 35, the fixing hole 4620 is formed in both sides of the communicating hole 4610 of the vacuum pack 4600 and is inserted to the coupling protrusion 4230 which is formed on the second clip part 4200. [430] Therefore, the vacuum pack 4600 is caught by the upper fixed protrusion 4325, the lower fixed protrusion 4327, and the coupling protrusion 4230 without swinging and separating from the vacuum clip apparatus 4600 optionally. [431] At this moment, the opening part of the vacuum pack 4600 is arranged between the overhead press rubber 4190 and the pressing groove 4290 which are formed in the rear area of the first clip part 4100 and the second clip part 4200. [432] When the first clip part 4100 is swung to be closed at the state of being shown in Fig.
35, the upper fixed protrusion 4325 which the second passage 4326 is formed on upward is inserted in the inhaling hole 4455 of the first gasket 4450 as shown in Figs.
32 and 33. [433] Thus, the inside of the vacuum pack 4600 communicates with the opening and shutting device 4400 through the nozzle 44300 and the gutter 4260. [434] In other words, the inhaling passage 4315 which is formed on the insert part 4310 of the nozzle 44300 communicates with the gutter 4260 through the first passage 4322 which is formed in the abutment 4320, and the gutter 4260 communicates with the opening and shuttering device 4400 through the second passage 4326 which is formed in the upper direction of the upper fixed protrusion 4325, so that the inside of the vacuum pack 4600 communicates with the opening and shutting device 4400 through the nozzle 44300 and the gutter 4260. [435] At this time, the communicating hole 4610 is arranged between the first gasket 4450 and the top of the abutment 4320, and between the second gasket 4210 and the bottom of the abutment 4320 so as to prevent air of outside from in-flowing by compressing the communicating hole. [436] Also, the bottom of the first gasket 4450, the top and the bottom of the abutment
4320, and the top of the second gasket 4210 are formed flatly, and the inhaling passage
4315 is formed along to the inside of the abutment 4320, so as to prevent the air from in-flowing through a space which is formed between the first gasket 4450, the abutment 4320, and the second gasket 4210. [437] At this time, the abutment 4320 is hard material so as to prevent the surface of abutment 4320 from changing in the direction of inhaling passage 4315 which is formed on the inside. [438] Moreover, as shown in Fig. 32(a), the coupling protrusion 4230 is inserted to the inserting hole 4130 and the penetrating hole 4512, and the flowing of the air between the inside and the outside is shut out by mutually contacting between the third gasket 4140 and the fourth gasket 4240.
[439] On the other hand, the opening part of the vacuum pack 4600 is arranged between the overhead press rubber 4190 and the pressing groove 4290 to being pressed, so as to prevent the air from flowing into the vacuum pack 4600 through the opening part.
[440] Moreover, the hanging protrusion 4180 which is formed in the rear part of the first clip part 4100 is inserted into the fixing projection 4280 which is formed in the rear area of the second clip part 4200 according to swing of the first clip part 4100.
[441] In other words, the hanging protrusion 4180 is contacted with the lower part of the fixing plate 4283 of the fixing projection 4280.
[442] In this case, when the first clip part 4100 is swung to be completely contacted with the second clip part 4200, the hanging protrusion 4180 lifts the fixing plate 4283 as shown in Fig. 38.
[443] Therefore, the rear area of the first clip part 4100 and the second clip part 4200 does not become wider any more.
[444] Additionally, while the coupling protrusion 4230 is inserted to the penetrating hole
4512 of the slider 4510 as shown in Fig. 32(a), when a user grips the grip part 4518 of the slider 4510 and pulls the slider in the lateral direction, the coupling protrusion 4230 is coupled with the fitting hole 4513 at the penetrating hole 4512 by movement of the coupling hole 4511 as shown in Figs. 32(b) and 39.
[445] Therefore, the upper part of the coupling protrusion 4230 is caught to the fitting hole
4513 having a small diameter so that the first clip part 4100 and the second clip part 4200 are locked.
[446] Moreover, the bonding protrusion 4516 is inserted to the bonding holes 4155, 4255 which are formed on the lateral support plate 4250 of the first clip part 4100 and the second clip part 4200 as shown in Fig. 32(b) according to movement of the slider 4510 in the lateral direction at the same time, so that the first clip part 4100 and the second clip part 4200 are strongly coupled once more with the coupling protrusion 4230 and the fitting hole 4513.
[447] In this condition, the conventional vacuum pump is mounted and an inhaling hose is inserted to the exhaust hole 4425 by using vacuum apparatus (not shown) having the inhaling hose.
[448] Then, the opening and shutting part 4430 goes down while pressing the spring 4440 downward by inserting the inhaling hose, so that the inhaling passage 4315 of the nozzle 44300 and the exhaust hole 4425 are communicated each other.
[449] In this case, when the vacuum pump are operated, the air of the inside of the vacuum pack 4600 flows into the gutter 4260 through the first passage 4322 along to the inhaling passage 4315 which is formed on the nozzle 44300, and flows into the opening and shutting device 4400 through the second passage 4326, and then flows out the outside through the exhaust hole 4425 via the vacuum pump.
[450] When the air is flown from the vacuum pack 4600 to be in vacuum, the air with rubbish may flow together and be collected to the gutter 4260 so as to prevent the air with rubbish from moving to the vacuum pump through the opening and shutting device 4400.
[451] Specifically, the first filter 4263 is contacted with the second passage 4326, so that the rubbish collected to the gutter 4260 does not flow into the opening and shutting device 4400 through the second passage 4326 and is collected to the gutter 4260.
[452] Thus, the gutter 4260 is separated from the second clip part 4200 to be clean.
[453] For that, the gutter 4260 is detachably mounted from the second clip part 4200.
[454] When the air completely flows out from the vacuum pack 4600 to be in the vacuum state, the inhaling hose of the vacuum apparatus is extracted from the exhaust hole 4425.
[455] And then, the opening and shutting part 4430 closes the exhaust hole 4425 by the elastic force of the spring 4440 to keep the vacuum state in the vacuum pack 4600, and the vacuum pack 4600 is kept in getting bitten by the vacuum clip apparatus.
[456] Moreover, when the opening and shutting part 4430 is pressed by using a stick, etc. for extracting the food which is contained in the vacuum pack 4600, the air flows into the vacuum pack 4600 through the exhaust hole 4425 to lease the vacuum state, and then the locking part 4500 is leased and the first clip part 4100 is swung so that the food which is contained in the vacuum pack 4600 can extract.
[457] Thus, the vacuum pack 4600 may be reused so as to reduce the cost because the vacuum pack 4600 is pressed and sealed without thermally sealing.
[458] Although the present invention has been described with reference to above mentioned the fourth embodiment, the description is illustrative of the invention is not to be construed as limiting the invention. Various modifications and variations may occur to those skilled in the art, without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
[459]
[460] The fifth embodiment
[461] Fig. 44 shows a perspective view of a vacuum clip apparatus according to a fifth embodiment of the present invention, Fig. 45 shows a sectional view revealed by a cutting line C-C in Fig. 44, Fig. 46 shows a sectional view revealed by a cutting line D- D in Fig. 44, Fig. 47 shows a perspective view of a nozzle according to the fifth embodiment of the present invention, Fig. 48 shows a bottom perspective view of a nozzle according to the fifth embodiment of the present invention, Fig. 49 shows a nozzle cover according to the fifth embodiment of the present invention, and Fig. 50 shows a nozzle housing according to the fifth embodiment of the present invention.
[462] The fifth embodiment has a difference in a nozzle 5700 when comparing with the fourth embodiment, so this part will be mainly explained.
[463] The nozzle 5700 comprises an insert part 5710 of inserting to the vacuum pack and an abutment 5720 of forming to be integral with the insert part 5710 and contacting to a bottom of the first clip part 4100 and a top of the second clip part 4200.
[464] At this time, the nozzle 5700 comprises the insert part 5710 and the abutment 5720, and the upper part of the insert part 5710 and the abutment 5720 forms a nozzle cover 5740, and the lower part of the insert part 5710 and the abutment 5720 forms a nozzle housing 5730.
[465] In other words, the nozzle 5700 is made by coupling with the nozzle cover 5740 and the nozzle housing 5730 upward and downward, and in the coupled state, the front part of the nozzle 5700 becomes the inert part 5710 which is inserted in the vacuum pack 4600, and the rear part of the nozzle 5700 becomes the abutment 5720.
[466] Inhaling passages 5715, 5735 are formed on the insert part 5710, and have a second filter 5750 which comprises a sponge and the like within.
[467] Moreover, a third passage 5722 which mutually connects the insert part 5710, the gutter 4800, and the opening and shutting device 4400 is formed upward and downward on the abutment 5720.
[468] In other words, the third passage 5722 is formed upward and downward, so that the gutter 4800 is communicated with the opening and shutting device 4400, and the insert part 5710, the gutter 4800, and the opening and shutting device 4400 are communicated each other by a communication of the third passage 5722 and the inhaling passages 5715, 5735.
[469] The inhaling passages 5715, 5735 are formed on the lower part of the nozzle cover 5740 and in the front of the nozzle housing 5730, and the third passage 5722 is formed in the upper fixed protrusion 5725 and the lower fixed protrusion 5727 which are formed upward and downward on nozzle cover 5740 respectively.
[470] Furthermore, a space for having the second filter 5750 and an insert fixed part 5732 for inserting and fixing the lower fixed protrusion 5732 are formed on the nozzle housing 5730.
[471] Therefore, the air of the inside of the vacuum pack 4600 flows into the space of the insert part via the inhaling passage 5735 formed on the nozzle housing. At this time, the rubbish which flows into with the air is filtered by the second filter 5750.
[472] The air which is filtered by the second filter flows into the third passage 5722 via the inhaling passage 5715 formed on the lower part of the nozzle cover 5740, and moves to the opening and shutting device 4400. At this time, the rubbish that is not filtered by the second filter 5750 is collected into the gutter 4800 which is disposed on the lower of the abutment 5720 through the third passage 5722.
[473] In this case, the gutter 4800 may be the same with the gutter 4260 mentioned in the fourth embodiment, and it is also possible to use the second gasket as gutter 4800 in the fourth embodiment like the fifth embodiment.
[474] On the other hand, the gutter 4800 also performs a role as a gasket of which upper side contacts to the lower of the abutment 5720.
[475] The other constitutions and operations are same with the above mentioned fourth embodiment, so detailed description on them will be omitted.
[476] Although the present invention has been described with reference to above mentioned the fifth embodiment, the description is illustrative of the invention is not to be construed as limiting the invention. Various modifications and variations may occur to those skilled in the art, without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
[477]

[479] Fig. 51 shows a perspective view of a clip apparatus according to a sixth embodiment of the present invention, Fig. 52 shows one directional exploded perspective view of a clip apparatus according to the sixth embodiment of the present invention, Fig. 53 shows another directional exploded perspective view of a clip apparatus according to the sixth embodiment of the present invention, Fig. 54 shows a perspective view of a nozzle part according to the sixth embodiment of the present invention, Fig. 55 shows a plane view of a nozzle part according to the sixth embodiment of the present invention and Fig. 56 shows a sectional view of a clip apparatus into which a vinyl pack is inserted according to the sixth embodiment of the present invention.
[480] As shown in Figs. 51 to 56, a vinyl bag 6040 clip apparatus of the present invention comprises a nozzle part 6010, a base 6020, and a cover 6030.
[481] The nozzle part 6010 which is inserted in the vinyl bag 6040 includes a fixed protrusion 6011 for penetrating the vinyl bag 6040 and an inhaling hole for penetrating through the upper and lower of the nozzle part 6010 which are formed on the upper part of the nozzle part 6010.
[482] The inhaling hole 6012 can be adjacently formed to the fixed protrusion 6011, but the inhaling hole 6012 is preferably formed on the fixed protrusion 6011 as shown in Figs. 54 and 55.
[483] The inhaling hole 6012 may be formed inside of the fixed protrusion 6011, and only a part of the inhaling hole 6012 may be formed on the fixed protrusion 6011 like the sixth embodiment.
[484] The upper end side of the fixed protrusion 6011 can be formed flatly or roundly, and also can be formed sharply so as to incise the vinyl bag 6040.
[485] Furthermore, an inhaling passage 6013 which is connected to the inhaling hole 6012 is formed on the bottom and/or the lateral side of the nozzle part 6010, and the air of inside of the vinyl bag 6040 easily flows into the inhaling hole 6012 by the inhaling passage 6013.
[486] Moreover, a lower gasket 6015 which wraps the outline of the fixed protrusion 6011 and the inhaling hole 6012 is mounted on the upper side of the nozzle part 6010.
[487] The nozzle part 6010 is seated on the base 6020, and a fixing strip 6021 which has a similar shape with a bottom shape of the nozzle is formed on the upper side of the base, so that the nozzle part 6010 is placed not to move on the upper part of the base.
[488] The cover 6030 covers the nozzle part 6010 and/or the base 6020, and has an exhaust hole 6032 for communicating with the inhaling hole 6012. And an opening and shutt ing device 6033 is mounted on the exhaust hole 6032.
[489] The inhaling hole 6012 can directly be formed on the cover 6030, and can be formed on the upper gasket 6031 which is mounted on the bottom of the cover 6030 like the sixth embodiment.
[490] The upper gasket 6031 is contacted with the lower gasket 6015, and mutually communicates the inhaling hole 6012 and the exhaust hole 6032 and prevents the air of outside from in-flowing.
[491] The exhaust hole 6032 comprises a first exhaust hole 6032a for communicating with the inhaling hole 6012 and a second exhaust hole 6032b which is mounted on the upper part of the first inhaling hole 6032a, and one end of the second exhaust hole 6032b is communicated with the first exhaust hole 6032a and the other end is communicated to the outside.
[492] Moreover, the opening and shutting device 6033 which is mounted on the exhaust hole 6032 comprises an opening and shutting ball 6033a for opening and closing the first exhaust hole 6032a, and an opening and shutting door 6033b for opening and shutting the one end of the second exhaust hole 6032b.
[493] The opening and shutting ball 6033a and the opening and shutting door 6033b are moved by the inhaling force of the vacuum pump (not shown) which is separately formed and inserted in the other end of the second exhaust hole 6032b, to open the first inhaling hole 6032a and the second inhaling hole 6032b at the same time.
[494] In other words, the inhaling hole 6012 and exhaust hole 6032 can be dually opened and closed by the first exhaust hole 6023a, and the second exhaust hole 6032b, and the opening and shutting ball 6033a, and the opening and shutting door 6033b, so that the air of outside from inflowing can be strongly prevented.
[495] Furthermore, a placing protrusion 6034 is protruded on the bottom of the upper gasket 6031, and a placing groove 6014 for placing the placing protrusion 6034 is formed on the upper of the nozzle part 6010. [496] When the cover 6030 is closed by the placing protrusion 6034 and the placing groove
6014, the movement of the nozzle part 6010 can be prevented, as the placing protrusion 6034 places on the placing groove 6014. [497] On the other hand, a hook protrusion 6036 for coupling with the base 6020 is formed in the lower direction on the front and the rear of the cover 6030, and a fixing projection 6026 for coupling the hook protrusion 6036 is formed on the front and the rear of the base 6020.
[498] At this time, the hook protrusion 6036 can be mounted on the cover 6030 to rotate. [499] Moreover, a press rubber 6035 for sealing the opening part of the vinyl bag 6040 is mounted on the rear of the cover 6030 and the base 6020. [500] A sixth embodiment of the present invention comprised as described above is operated as follows. [501] The base 6020 and the cover 6030 are separated, and the nozzle part 6010 is inserted in the vinyl bag 6040. [502] The nozzle part 6010 is placed on the base 6020 with the vinyl bag 6040 as built-in state, and the opening part of the vinyl bag 6040 is arranged on the rear of the base
6020 to come out a little from the rear of the clip apparatus. [503] At this time, when a hole for inserting the fixing protrusion 6011 is already formed on the upper side of the vinyl bag 6040, the fixing protrusion 6011 is inserted in the hole of the vinyl bag 6040. And when a separate hole is not formed in the vinyl bag
6040, the top of the fixing protrusion 6011 is incised and inserted by using a sharp end of the fixing protrusion 6011.
[504] In this state, the cover 6030 is covered on the base 6020 and the nozzle part 6010. [505] Then, the upper gasket 6031 is contacted with the lower gasket 6015, and the inhaling hole 6012 is communicated with the exhaust hole 6032. [506] The air inflowing and exhausting to the outside of the inhaling hole 6012 and the exhaust hole 6032 is prevented by contacting of the upper gasket 6031 to the lower gasket 6015. [507] Moreover, the hook protrusion 6036 which is formed on the cover 6030 couples the cover 6030 and the base 6020 by being hanging to the fixing projection 6026 which is formed on the base 6020. [508] When the hook protrusion 6036 is fixed not to be rotated, the hook protrusion 6036 can be hung to the fixing projection 6026 by simply pushing the cover 6030 downward. And when the hook protrusion 6036 is rotated, the hook protrusion 6036 can be hung to the fixing projection 6026 by rotating the hook protrusion 6036. [509] Furthermore, air inflowing through the opening part of the vinyl bag 6040 is prevented as the press rubber 6035 which is mounted on the rear of the cover 6030 is contacted with the rear of the base 6020 and presses the opening part of the vinyl bag 6040.
[510] Therefore, the inside of the vinyl bag 6040 is communicated to the outside through the inhaling hole 6012 and the exhaust hole 6032.
[511] At this time, as a hole is already formed in the vinyl bag 6040 to insert the fixing protrusion 6011 or the vinyl bag is incised by the fixing protrusion 6011, the vinyl bag 6040 is communicated with the exhaust hole 6032.
[512] Although, the inhaling hole 6012 is formed on the fixing protrusion 6011, the inhaling hole 6012 is easily communicated with the exhaust hole 6032.
[513] In this time, when the vacuum pump (not shown) which is separately formed is inserted in the other end of the second exhaust hole 6032b and is operated, the opening and shutting ball 6033a and the opening and shutting door 6033b move upward together by the inhaling force, as a result, the first exhaust hole 6032a and the second exhaust hole 6032b are opened together.
[514] The air of the inside of the vinyl bag 6040 passes a hole which is made by incising to the vinyl bag 6040 or which has already made through the inhaling passage 6013 of the nozzle part 6010 and inhaling hole 6012 by the opening part of the exhaust hole 6032 to be moved to the outside of the vinyl bag 6040 and the air is promptly exhausted to the outside through the exhaust hole 6032.
[515] When the vacuum pump is removed after the completion of the vacuum, the opening and shutting ball 6033a closes the first exhaust hole 6032a by vacuum pressure, and the air inflowing of the vinyl bag 6040 is dually prevented, as the opening and shutting door 6033b closes the second exhaust hole 6032b.
[516] Although the present invention has been described with reference to above mentioned the sixth embodiment, the description is illustrative of the invention is not to be construed as limiting the invention. Various modifications and variations may occur to those skilled in the art, without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, as defined by the appended claims.

[520] As shown in Figs. 57 to 62, the vacuum clip apparatus of the present invention comprises a first clip part 7100, a second clip part 7200, a nozzle 7300, a locking part 7500, a receipt part 7120, an opening and shutting part 7420 and a cover 7430.
[521] An opening part of a vacuum pack 7600 is laid between the first clip 7100 and the second clip 7200 and then is compressed and is sealed by being hinged between the backward areas of the first clip part 7100 and the second clip part 7200.
[522] The locking part 7500 is mounted on both sides of the first clip part 7100, and the opening and the receipt part 7120 is formed to cave in the middle of the first clip part 4100, and the opening and shutting part 7420 and the cover 7430 are mounted on the upper part of the receipt part 7120.
[523] The nozzle 7300 is detachably mounted on the upper part of the second clip part 7200, and a gutter 7260 is formed in the middle of the second clip part 7200.
[524] Moreover, the nozzle 7300 is arranged between the first clip part 7100 and the second clip part 7200 so as to be inserted into the vacuum pack 7600 as shown in Fig. 61.
[525] An inhaling passage 7315 is formed inside of the nozzle 7300, and the inhaling passage 7315 is formed by a space between a plurality of the passage form protrusions 7325 which connect the upper part and lower part of the nozzle in the nozzle.
[526] An upper hole 7301 and a lower hole 7302 are formed in the upper and the lower direction respectively in the nozzle, and the upper hole 7301 is connected with the receipt part 7120, and the lower hole 7302 is connected with the gutter 7260.
[527] At this time, the nozzle 7300 can be safely mounted on the first clip part 7100 or the second clip part 7200 by forming a protrusion which wraps the upper hole 7301 or the lower hole 7302.
[528] Although only a lower protrusion 7327 which wraps the lower hole 7302 is formed and the nozzle 7300 is mounted on the gutter 7260 of the second clip part 7200 in the present seventh embodiment, it is also possible to form a separate upper protrusion which wraps the upper hole 7301 to be inserted and be mounted on the first clip part 7100.
[529] When the gutter 7260 is not necessary, there is no need to form the lower hole 7302.
[530] The receipt part 7120 is formed on the first clip part 7100, and communicated with the nozzle 7300 and receives rubbish flown in from the nozzle 7300.
[531] When comparing the gutter 7260 with the receipt part 7120, the gutter 7260 is located on the lower part of the nozzle 7300 to receive the heavy or liquid things among rubbish flown in through the nozzle 7300. And the receipt part 7120 is located on the upper part of the nozzle 7300, and receives the light or powdered things among rubbish flown in from the nozzle 7300. [532] A hollow protrusion 7125 which is communicated with the upper hole 7301 and protruded upward is formed on the receipt part 7120 to prevent the rubbish flown in the receipt part 7120 through the upper hole 7301 of the nozzle 7300 from returning to the nozzle 7300 again through the upper hole 7301. [533] The opening and shutting part 7420 is detachably mounted on the first clip part, and the gutter 7260 is detachably mounted on the second clip part 7200 to be easily washed. [534] The opening and shutting part 7420 is mounted to be arranged on the upper part of th e receipt part 7120 in the first clip part 7100, and opens and shuts communicating of the receipt part 7120 to the outside. [535] At this time, the opening and shutting part 7420 is detachably mounted on the first clip part 7100 like the gutter 7260. [536] An exhaust hole 7421 for communicating with the receipt part 7120 is formed on the opening and shutting part 7420, and an opening and shutting valve 7422 for opening and shutting the exhaust hole 7421 is formed on the exhaust hole 7421. [537] Although the opening and shutting valve 7422 allows the air to move from the receipt part 7120 to the opening and shutting part 7420, the opening and shutting valve
7422 prevents optional movement of the air from the opening part 7420 to the direction of receipt part 7120. [538] As the opening and shutting valve 7422 is a technology which is already notified before filing the application, detailed description will be omitted. [539] Additionally, a gasket 7440 which wraps a peripheral side of the cover 7430 and the opening and shutting part 7420 is mounted and inserted into the first clip part 7100. [540] The cover 7430 is mounted on the upper side of the first clip part 7100 to cover the opening and shutting part 7420, and a connecting hole 7435 for inserting the hose 7730 is formed on the cover 7430 as shown in Fig. 63. [541] Therefore, the air of inside of the vacuum pack 7600 is exhausted to the outside via the nozzle 7300, the receipt part 7120, the opening and shutting part 7420 and through the connecting hole 7435. [542] At this time, the opening and shutting part 7420 and the cover 7430 are all preferably made of transparency material, so that a user can easily confirm the amounts of rubbish in the receipt part 7120. [543] A press rubber 7190 which presses the opening part of the vacuum pack 7600 is mounted on the rear of the nozzle 7300 in the first clip part 7100 and/or the second clip part 7200. [544] A plurality of coupling protrusions 7230 are protruded upward on both lateral sides in the tops of the second clip part 7200. [545] The middle diameter of the coupling protrusion 7230 is formed less than the upper diameter. [546] For that, a step plane is formed in the middle area of the coupling protrusion 7230 in the present seventh embodiment. [547] An inserting hole 7130 to which the coupling protrusion 7230 is inserted is formed on the both lateral sides of the first clip part 7100. [548] Moreover, the locking part 7500 which fixes the coupling protrusion 7230 to the first clip part 7100 is mounted on the both sides of the first clip part 7100, and the locking part 7500 includes a slider 7510 and a locking cover 7520. [549] In Fig. 60, left side shows a view of sate removed the locking cover 7520, and the right side shows a view of state removed the locking cover 7520 and the slider 7510. [550] A coupling hole 7511 is formed on the slider 7510, and when the slider 7510 is slid in the right and the left directions, the coupling hole 7511 is inserted in the coupling protrusion 7230 and slid. [551] The coupling hole 7511 includes a penetrating hole 7512 having larger diameter than the upper diameter of the coupling protrusion 7230, and a fitting hole 7513 formed to communicate in the sliding direction of the slider 7510, i.e., in the right and the left directions, parallel, and long. [552] At this time, the diameter of the fitting hole 7513 is smaller than the upper diameter of the coupling protrusion 7230 and a little bit larger than the middle diameter of the coupling protrusion 7230. [553] When the middle part of the coupling protrusion 7230 is inserted into the fitting hole
7513 by moving the slider 7510, the upper side of the coupling protrusion 7230 hooks the fitting hole 7513 so that the coupling protrusion 7230 does not fall downward because the upper diameter of the coupling protrusion 7230 is larger than the width of the fitting hole 7513.
[554] Moreover, a grip part 7518 is formed on the top of the slider 7510. [555] A guide groove 7115 is formed for safe sliding of the slider 7510 on the both tops of the first clip part 7100, and a guide protrusion 7515 which is inserted into the guide groove 7515 and slid is formed on the bottom of the slider 7510. [556] The locking cover 7520 covers the slider 7510, and a sliding hole 7525 which the grip part 7518 is arranged to insert is formed on the top of the locking cover 7520, so that a user can move the grip part 7518 while gripping, as the grip part 7518 is exposed to the outside. [557] The coupling protrusion 7230 is arranged on the rear part of the press rubber 7190 in the first clip part 7100.
[558] This is to seal the opening part of the vacuum pack 7600 is sealed by means of the press rubber 7190 without forming a separate hole for inserting the coupling protrusion 7230 into the vacuum pack 7600.
[559] A communicating hole 7610 which draws closed curve to be adjacent to the opening part is formed in the vacuum pack 7600 used in the vacuum clip apparatus of the present invention as shown in Fig. 61.
[560] A lower protrusion 7327 (or an upper protrusion) which is formed on the nozzle is inserted into the communicating hole 7610.
[561] The communicating hole 7610 is inserted and fixed to the lower protrusion 7327 (or the upper protrusion, and the top of the communicating hole 7610 is arranged between the nozzle 7300 and the first clip part 7100, and the bottom of the communicating hole 7610 is arranged between the nozzle 7300 and the second clip part 7200.
[562] At this time, the gasket and the like is mounted between the nozzle 7300 and the first clip part 7100 and between the nozzle 7300 and the second clip part 7200 to prevent the air from inflowing and exhausting through the communicating hole 7610.
[563] On the other hand, as shown in Fig. 63, a vacuum pump 7700 for vacuuming the vacuum pack 7600, a branching portion 7710, a hose 7730, a solenoid valve 7720, a pressure sensor and a control part can be built-in the vacuum clip apparatus or can be constituted as separate external devices, and are constituted as separate external devices in the present seventh embodiment.
[564] The branching part 7710 comprises three branch pipes, and one branch pipe is connected with the vacuum pump 7700, another is connected with the hose 7730, and the other is connected with the solenoid valve 7720.
[565] As shown in Fig. 63, the hose 7730 is inserted into the connecting hole 7435, and connects the branching part 7710 with the connecting hole 7435.
[566] Therefore, the vacuum pump 7700 and the vacuum pack 7600 are mutually communicated by the hoes 7730.
[567] The solenoid valve 7720 communicates the branching part 7710 to the outside.
[568] The pressure sensor measures vacuum state, and can be mounted on branching partition 7710, but also can be mounted on anywhere to pass through the air
[569] The control part controls the opening and shutting of the solenoid valve 7720 and the operation of the vacuum pump 7700.
[570] The control part closes the solenoid valve 7720 while the vacuum pump 7700 is working, and stops the vacuum pump 7700 when the vacuum state is measured to be completed by the pressure sensor, and then opens the solenoid valve 7720.
[571] Therefore, when the vacuum pump 7700 begins to operate by a user, the control part closes the solenoid valve 7720 to connect the vacuum pump 7700 with the vacuum clip apparatus through the hose 7730. And the control part stops the vacuum pump 7700 when the vacuum state is measured to be completed, and then the air from the outside is flown in by opening the solenoid valve 7720. [572] When the air from outside is flown in by opening of the solenoid valve 7720, the opening and shutting valve 7422 automatically seals the exhaust hole 7421 by the difference between the air pressure of outside and the vacuum pressure of inside of the vacuum pack 7600. [573] Moreover, an optional sensor or a watch is mounted on an apparatus which the vacuum clip apparatus or the vacuum pump 7700 is mounted [574] The optional sensor and the watch distinguish the day and the night, and the control part stops the operation of the vacuum pump when the time is judged as night time by previously set up conditions (For example, under fixed intensity of light or after fixed time) by the optical sensor or the watch. [575] As mentioned above, a noise producing by the automatic operation of the vacuum pump 7700 connected to the vacuum clip apparatus at night can be prevented by mounting the optical sensor or the watch for distinguishing the day and the night. [576] A seventh embodiment of the present invention comprised as described above is operated as follows. [577] The nozzle 7300 is separated from the second clip part 7200, while the first clip part
7100 is rotated about the second clip part 7200 and opened. [578] The nozzle 7300 is inserted through the opening part of the vacuum pack 7600, and the lower protrusion 7327 of the nozzle 7300 is inserted into the communicating hole
7610 which is formed on the lower side of the vacuum pack 7600. [579] As mentioned above, the nozzle 7300 is mounted on the second clip part 7200 to fix while the upper protrusion of the nozzle 7300 is inserted into the communicating hole
7610 of the vacuum pack 7600. [580] Thus, the vacuum pack 7600 is not moved and separated from the vacuum clip apparatus optionally as the vacuum pack 7600 is hooked to the lower protrusion 7327. [581] At this time, the opening part of the vacuum pack 7600 is arranged to the front of the coupling protrusion 7230, so the opening part of the vacuum pack 7600 is pressed and sealed by the press rubber 7190 mounted on the front of the coupling protrusion 7230. [582] In this state, when the first clip part 7100 is rotated and closed, the upper hole 7301 which is formed on the nozzle 7300 is communicated with the hollow protrusion 7125 which is formed on the receipt part 7120. [583] The inside of the vacuum pack 7600 is communicated to the outside through the nozzle 7300, the receipt part 7120, the opening and shutting part 7420 and the connecting hole 7435, as the hollow protrusion 7125 is communicated with the exhaust hole 7421 which is formed on the opening and shutting part 7120, and the exhaust hole 7421 is communicated with the connecting hole 7435 which is formed on the cover 7430.
[584] Moreover, the coupling protrusion 7230 is inserted into the inserting hole 7130 of the first clip part 7100 and the penetrating hole 7512 of the slider 7510.
[585] In this state, when a user pushes the slider 7510 in the lateral direction while gripping the grip part 7518 of the slider 7510, the coupling protrusion 7230 is coupled to the fixing hole 7513 on the penetrating hole 7512 by movement of the coupling hole 7511.
[586] Therefore, the upper part of the coupling protrusion 7230 is caught to the fitting hole 7513 having a small diameter, and the first clip part 7100 and the second clip part 7200 are locked.
[587] In this state, the hose 7730 which is connected with the vacuum pump 7700 is inserted into the connecting hole 7435.
[588] When a user operates the vacuum pump 7700, the control part closes the control part closes the solenoid valve 7720, and the vacuum pump 7700 is communicated with the inserting hole 7130 by the branching part 7710 and the hose 7730.
[589] The opening and shutting valve 7422 is raised upward by the inhaling force of the vacuum pump 7700 to open the exhaust hole 7421.
[590] Therefore, the air of the inside of the vacuum pack 7600 flows into the receipt part 7120 along to the inhaling passage 7315 which is formed on the nozzle 7300, and flows into the opening and shutting part 7420 through the exhaust hole 7421, and then flows out the outside through the connecting hole 7435 and the hose 7730 via the vacuum pump 7700.
[591] At this time, when the air is flown from the vacuum pack 7600 to be in vacuum, the air with rubbish may flow together, and liquid or heavy things among the rubbish flown are collected in the gutter, and light or powdered things are collected to the receipt part 7120.
[592] When the vacuum state is measured to be completed by the pressure sensor, the control part stops the operation of the vacuum pump 7700 and then opens the solenoid valve.
[593] Then, the upper of the opening and shutting valve 7422 becomes under the atmospheric pressure condition, and the lower part of the opening and shutting valve
7422 becomes under the vacuum pressure condition by the air which is flown in through the solenoid valve.
[594] Therefore, the opening and shutting valve 7422 approaches closely downward by the pressure difference, and strongly closes the exhaust hole 7421.
[595] And the vacuum pack 7600 is kept in getting bitten by the vacuum clip apparatus [596] The vacuum pack 7600 may be reused so as to reduce the cost because the vacuum pack 7600 is pressed and sealed without thermally sealing. [597] Although the present invention has been described with reference to above mentioned the seventh embodiment, the description is illustrative of the invention is not to be construed as limiting the invention. Various modifications and variations may occur to those skilled in the art, without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. [598]
Industrial Applicability [599] When the vacuum clip apparatus is closed after the opening part of the vacuum pack is arranged in the vacuum clip apparatus of the present invention, the opening part of the vacuum pack is sealed. [600] Moreover, the structure of the vacuum clip apparatus for sealing the vacuum pack is simple and light in the weight of the apparatus, and the vacuum clip apparatus can more completely seal the vacuum pack so as to keep the vacuum state for a longer time. [601] Furthermore, the inside of the vacuum pack is made in the vacuum state by connecting a separate vacuum pump to the vacuum clip apparatus of the present invention so as to keep the contents for a long time. [602] Additionally, the vacuum pack can be reused to reduce the cost because the vacuum pack does not thermally seal.
