Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention according to the accompanying drawings will be described in detail.

First, the embodiments described below are embodiments suitable for understanding the technical features of the container closure and the container including the present invention. However, the present invention is not limited to the technical features of the present invention by the embodiments described or applied to the embodiments described below, various modifications are possible within the technical scope of the present invention.

The container 10 according to the present invention includes a container body 20 and a container stopper 100 (see FIG. 7).

The container body 20 has the contents P contained therein. Container stopper 100 is coupled to the inlet of the container body 20, and opens and closes the container body 20.

Here, the contents P accommodated in the container body 20 may be in the form of powder such as powder or granules, and may be, for example, powdered food such as salt, sugar or pepper. However, the type and state of the contents contained in the container body 20 is not limited to the above.

Hereinafter, referring to FIGS. 1 to 7, the container stopper 100 according to the present invention will be described in detail.

1 to 3, the container stopper 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a lower cap member 200 and the upper cap member 300.

The lower cap member 200 includes a lower body 210 and a discharge port 220. The lower body 210 is coupled to the inlet of the container body 20 in which the contents P are accommodated, and opens and closes the container body 20. The discharge port 220 may pass through the lower body 210 and may be provided in one or a plurality, and the contents P may be discharged.

Specifically, the discharge port 220 is provided on the upper surface facing the upper portion of the lower body 210, the contents (P) can be discharged through the discharge port 220. Spiral is formed on the inner surface of the lower end of the lower body 210, when the lower body 210 is coupled to the container body 20, according to the spiral and the bite formed on the outer peripheral surface of the upper end of the container body 20, lower body 210 ) And the container body 20 can be easily combined (see FIG. 7).

The upper cap member 300 is coupled to the lower cap member 200 and covers or opens the upper surface of the lower cap member 200. As illustrated, the upper cap member 300 may be hinged to the lower cap member 200 through the hinge 400. In addition, the upper cap member 300 may open and close the lower cap member 200 by rotation. When the upper cap member 300 rotates to open the lower cap member 200, the discharge port 220 may be exposed to discharge the contents P. FIG. Reference numeral 311 denotes a handle for rotating the upper cap member 300.

However, the coupling method of the upper cap member 300 and the lower cap member 200 is not limited to the embodiment shown, a screw coupling method may be employed as an example.

The lower cap member 200 further includes a first protrusion 230. The first protrusion 230 is provided adjacent to the discharge port 220 so as to collide with the contents (P) approaching the discharge port 220, the lower body 210, the surface facing the inside of the container body 20 Protruding on the lower surface, it may be provided with one or a plurality.

Specifically, the discharge port 220 may be formed through the upper surface of the lower body 210. Here, when defining a surface facing the inside of the container body 20 in the opposite direction of the upper surface of the lower body 210, that is, the lower body 210, the first protrusion 230 is the lower surface of the lower body 210 In, the container body 20 may protrude in a direction toward the inside. In addition, a plurality of first protrusions 230 may be provided, and as shown in the illustrated embodiment, a plurality of first protrusions 230 may be formed adjacent to one discharge port 220.

Accordingly, in the case of shaking the container 10 or tilting the container 10 to discharge the content P, the content P collides with the first protrusion 230 while approaching the discharge port 220. can do. The contents P, which are gathered by the collision, collide with the first protrusion 230, and the state of being released may be released, or the contents P may be prevented from being aggregated.

More specifically, when the content P is in a powder state, the container 10 is often used by shaking the container 10. As the container 10 is used by shaking the container 10, the smaller particles are positioned downward, and the larger particles are positioned upward. . At this time, the small particles gathered below to reduce the gap, the small particles gathered while shaking the container 10 is compacted, the density of the lower content (P) may increase. As a result, the small particles disposed at the lower portion may be hardened together to reduce the discharge amount, or the discharge hole 220 may be blocked. Alternatively, moisture may flow through the discharge port 220 to aggregate the contents P.

When using the container stopper 100 according to the present invention, when shaking the container 10 or tilting the container 10, as shown in the example shown in Figure 7, the contents (P) approaching the discharge port 220 1 may collide with the protrusion 230. At this time, it is possible to prevent the aggregation of the contents (P) by the collision, and to release the already aggregated contents (P). And the unpacked content (P) can be immediately discharged before agglomeration.

Therefore, according to the present invention, in the case of using the container 10 containing the contents P in a powder state, the contents P are prevented from agglomerating, thereby preventing clogging of the discharge port 220 and lowering of discharge characteristics. It can be minimized.

Specifically, referring to FIGS. 2 to 4, the first protrusion 230 may include a protrusion body 231 and an inclined end portion 233.

The protruding body 231 vertically extends from the lower surface of the lower body 210, is formed in a plate shape, and has a first surface 231a and a first surface 231a which are vertical surfaces facing the center of the discharge port 220. It may include a second surface (231b) which is a surface facing in the opposite direction.

In more detail, the protrusion body 231 may be formed in a plate shape and formed to correspond to the discharge hole 220, and thus may have a straight plate shape or a curved plate shape. Here, among the vertical surfaces of the protrusion body 231, the surface facing the center of the discharge port 220 is defined as the first surface 231a, and the surface opposite to the first surface 231a is defined as the second surface 231b. This is defined as. That is, it is assumed that the vertical and wide surfaces of the protrusion body 231 are the first surface 231a and the second surface 231b.

The inclined end portion 233 is provided at the end of the protrusion body 231, and may be inclined at an end of at least one surface of the first surface 231a and the second surface 231b. In addition, the protrusion body 231 may be thinner as the thickness between the first surface 231a and the second surface 231b goes downward.

Specifically, when the inclined end portion 233 is formed on the first surface 231a, the inclined end portion 233 may be inclined downward in a direction from the first surface 231a to the second surface 231b. In addition, when the inclined end portion 233 is formed on the second surface 231b, the inclined end portion 233 may be formed to be inclined downward in a direction from the second surface 231b toward the first surface 231a, and the first surface 231a and the first surface 231b. When formed on both surfaces 231b, the first surface 231a and the second surface 231b may be inclined in a direction toward the center of the second surface 231b. Accordingly, the thickness of the protrusion body 231 may become thinner toward the bottom.

As described above, the first protrusion 230 has an inclined end portion 233 at the lower end thereof, and thus becomes a pointed shape toward the downward direction, thereby effectively releasing the contents P which are bound at the time of collision.

A plurality of first protrusions 230 may be provided in each discharge hole 220 to be spaced apart from each other.

In detail, a plurality of first protrusions 230 may be provided per one discharge hole 220, and the first protrusions 230 adjacent to one discharge hole 220 may be spaced apart from each other. That is, the first protrusion 230 may be formed around the discharge port 220 to be broken without being continuous. For example, when the first protrusion 230 is continuously formed in a ring shape at the lower portion of the discharge port 220, the content P may be isolated and pinched in the first protrusion 230. Thus, the first protrusions 230 according to the present invention are formed to be spaced apart from each other, thereby preventing the content P from being caught around the discharge port 220.

Meanwhile, referring to FIGS. 2 and 5, the discharge hole 220 may be provided in an elliptical shape. In detail, the pair of straight portions 221 disposed parallel to each other may be included, and the curved portions 222 connecting the ends of the pair of straight portions 221 may be included. The first protrusion 230 extends vertically from the straight portion 221 of the discharge port 220 and may be provided in a plate shape.

In detail, the plurality of first protrusions 230 may be provided to be spaced apart from each other, and may be provided in pairs in the straight portions 221 of the elliptical discharge port 220. The first protrusion 230 may be formed long along the straight portion 221.

Accordingly, the first protrusion 230 is formed in the straight portion 221 of the discharge port 220, so that the area of contact with the contents P is wider than that formed in the curved portion 222 of the discharge hole 220. The grinding zone can be widened. Therefore, the aggregation phenomenon of the contents P can be prevented more effectively.

However, the shape of the discharge port 220 and the shape of the first protrusion 230 are not limited to the illustrated embodiment, and various modifications are possible if the contents P can be pulverized around the discharge port 220. .

Referring to FIG. 4, the first surface 231a of the protrusion body 231 may be disposed on the same surface as the inner circumferential surface 220a of the discharge port 220.

In detail, the first surface 231a of the protrusion body 231 facing the discharge hole 220 may extend from the inner circumferential surface 220a of the discharge hole 220. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the step difference between the first protrusion 230 and the lower body 210 around the discharge port 220. However, the position of the first surface 231a is not limited thereto, and the first surface 231a may be minutely spaced apart from the surface extending from the inner circumferential surface 220a of the discharge port 220.

When the inner circumferential surface 220a and the first surface 231a of the discharge port 220 are extended in this manner, even when the first protrusion 230 is disposed adjacent to the discharge port 220, the contents P are discharged 220. When discharged through, the phenomenon that the content P is pinched between the discharge port 220 and the first protrusion 230 may be prevented.

Meanwhile, referring to FIGS. 1 and 3, the upper cap member 300 includes an upper body 310 and a second protrusion 330.

The upper body 310 covers the lower cap member 200.

The second protrusion 330 is formed to protrude from the upper body 310 toward the lower cap member 200 in a state of covering the lower cap member 200 and to be inserted into the discharge port 220. Hereinafter, for convenience of description, the upper and lower directions of the second protrusion 330 is based on a state in which the upper cap member 300 is closed while the container body 20 inlet is disposed above and the container 10 is standing up. It is done.

Specifically, when the upper cap member 300 is closed, the second protrusion 330 when defining a surface facing the upper surface of the lower cap member 200 among the upper body 310 as the lower surface of the upper body 310. ) May protrude vertically in the direction toward the lower cap member 200, the lower surface of the upper body (310). The second protrusion 330 may be formed at a position corresponding to the position of the discharge hole 220 and inserted into the discharge hole 220.

Accordingly, the container cap 100 according to the present invention, when the upper cap member 300 is closed after discharging the contents P, by the second protrusion 330 formed in the upper cap member 300, the discharge port ( The content P remaining in the 220 may be removed. Therefore, the phenomenon in which the contents P are caught in the discharge port 220 and the phenomenon in which the discharge hole 220 is blocked by this can be prevented.

The second protrusion 330 may be formed to correspond to the discharge hole 220. Specifically, the shape of the horizontal cross section of the outer circumferential surface of the second protrusion 330 may be provided in a shape corresponding to the shape of the discharge port 220. In addition, the size of the horizontal cross section of the outer circumferential surface of the second protrusion 330 may be such that the outer circumferential surface of the second protrusion 330 does not prevent the upper cap member 300 from being opened or closed by the lower cap member 200. It may be formed to be adjacent to the discharge port 220 (see Fig. 5).

Accordingly, the gap between the outer circumferential surface of the second protrusion 330 and the discharge port 220 is minimized, so that the contents P remaining in the discharge hole 220 when the second protrusion 330 is inserted into the discharge hole 220 are removed. At the same time as the departure from the discharge port 220, opening and closing of the upper cap member 300 can be facilitated.

In one example, the discharge port 220 may be provided in an elliptical shape. In addition, the outer circumferential surface of the second protrusion 330 may have an elliptical cross section in a horizontal direction, and may correspond to the shape of the discharge hole 220.

In addition, the second protrusion 330 may include a hollow portion 331 provided along the up and down direction of the second protrusion 330 and open at the bottom thereof, and a cross section in the horizontal direction may be formed in a ring shape.

Specifically, the cross section in the horizontal direction of the second protrusion 330 may be provided in a ring shape including the hollow portion 331 rather than all of the filled shape. Herein, the hollow part 331 may be elongated along the vertical direction, which is the length direction of the second protrusion 330, and may be opened in the direction toward the lower cap member 200.

As such, the second protrusion 330 may be provided to include the hollow portion 331, thereby minimizing deformation due to use, as compared with a case in which the second protrusion 330 is not filled without the hollow portion 331. Accordingly, the deformation of the second protrusion 330 may prevent the insertion of the discharge port 220 into the discharge port 220 and thus may not close the upper cap member 300. In addition, when opening and closing the upper cap member 300, it is possible to facilitate opening and closing by providing an elastic force to the second protrusion 330.

In addition, according to the present invention, even when the second protrusion 330 is deformed, the deformation of the upper cap member 300 may not be prevented by inducing deformation to the center portion of the hollow portion 331.

On the other hand, the lower body 210, a portion in which the discharge port 220 is formed may be formed in a curved surface. The lower surface 333 of the second protrusion 330 facing the lower cap member 200 may have a curved surface having the same curvature as that of the lower body 210.

Specifically, the upper surface of the lower body 210 in which the discharge port 220 is formed may be formed as a curved surface upwardly so that the discharge of the contents P is advantageous. The lower surface 333 of the second protrusion 330 is formed with a curved surface having the same curvature as that of the lower body 210, so that the lower surface 333 is connected to the curved surface of the lower body 210 when the upper cap member 300 is closed. can do.

Accordingly, when opening and closing the upper cap member 300 to the lower cap member 200, the interference of the discharge port 220 and the second protrusion 330 is minimized, it can be easily opened and closed. In addition, the appearance of the product may be beautiful due to the continuous curved shape of the lower cap member 200 and the second protrusion 330.

As shown in FIG. 6, when the upper cap member 300 is closed, the second protrusion 330 has a lower surface 211 of the lower body 210 of the lower body 210 of the second protrusion 330. The lower surface of the second protrusion 330 may be formed to have a length that does not overlap with the first protrusion 230.

Specifically, the length of the second protrusion 330 is a surface where the lower surface 333 of the second protrusion 330 extends from the lower surface 211 of the lower body 210 when the upper cap member 300 is closed. The lower end of the second protrusion 330 may be inserted into an area adjacent to the lower end of the discharge port 220 by being formed to have a length adjacent to the lower end of the second protrusion 330. Accordingly, the second protrusion 330 may be transported into the container body 20 by leaving most of the contents P caught in the discharge port 220.

In addition, when the upper cap member 300 is closed, the length of the second protrusion 330 is formed so that the lower end portion of the second protrusion 330 does not overlap with the first protrusion 230 so that the upper cap member is closed. When opening and closing the 300, the second protrusion 330 may be in contact with the protrusion body 231 of the first protrusion 230, thereby preventing the opening and closing of the 300.

Accordingly, when the second protrusion 330 opens and closes the upper cap member 300, the second cap 330 facilitates opening and closing of the upper cap member 300, and at the same time, the contents P are discharged from the outlet 220 or the first protrusion ( It can be prevented from remaining stuck in the state 230).

When using the container stopper and the container including the same according to the present invention, when the container shakes or tilts the container, the contents approaching the discharge port collide with the first projection of the lower cap member, to prevent the aggregation of the contents, and the already aggregated contents Can be released. Therefore, in the case of using a container containing the contents of the powder state, it is possible to prevent the aggregation of the contents, thereby minimizing the clogging of the discharge port and the deterioration of the discharge property.

As mentioned above, the specific embodiments of the present invention have been described above, but the spirit and scope of the present invention are not limited to these specific embodiments, and those described in the claims by those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains. Various modifications and variations are possible without departing from the spirit of the invention.
