Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present invention relates to a bottle cap, and more
particularly, to a bottle cap for effectively mixing concentrate
with water, concentrate with general beverage, granulation with
water, or powder with water, and so on.
[0002] Also, the bottle cap may be used in industrial fields such
as medicine, pharmacy, cosmetics, and the like and alcoholic
beverage fields so as to improve mixture of heterogeneous
materials.
BACKGROUND ART
[0003] In general, a separate space has to be provided in a
container to mix powder or concentrate with liquid beverage stored
in the beverage container.
[0004] A conventional structure for mixing heterogeneous materials
with each other as described above is disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos.
6,962,254, 6,230,884, and 6,854,595.
[0005] However, it is difficult to effectively overcome limitations
in functional structure, mixing efficiency, barrier, responsiveness
of a product line, use convenience, and the like. Thus, the
conventional structure is not popularized until now.
[0006] Also, although a joint venture technology of US, Germany,
and Austria and a Japanese technology are coming into the spotlight
in the international society, the Japanese technology has been
popularly commercialized first.
[0007] However, the Japanese technology (JP-P-2001-0018542, Jun.
19, 2001) may have a problem in which a portion for forming an
opening drops into a container. As a result, it is apprehended that
child swallow the dropping portion. Recently, although a container
neck having a new structure for preventing a discharge device from
being separated has been developed, there is a problem in which it
is impossible to apply this structure to the existing container
neck.
[0008] Also, although US Patent Publication No. 2003-72850 is
disclosed, this invention has a limitation in which it is difficult
to technically secure airtightness, workability, mold manufacture,
and insertion of a content into a receiving part.
DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION
Technical Problem
[0009] An objective of the present invention is to provide an
operation part for drinking beverage, thereby improving
availability of the beverage.
[0010] Another objective of the present invention is to provide a

a structure for mixing the heterogeneous materials with each other
according to the present invention includes a main body including a
receiving part having a storage space and an opening/closing hole
that is opened to discharge the content of the storage space in the
bottom of the receiving part.
[0014] Also, the opening/closing hole may be sealed by an operation
part coupled around a mouth of the main body and a receiving part
sealing part extending from the operation part. In use, when the
operation part moves upward, the opening/closing hole may be opened
to discharge the content within the container through a discharge
hole communicating with the opening/closing hole.
[0015] Also, when the operation part is closed, the sealing part
that seals the opening/closing hole of the receiving part may not
close the opening/closing hole.
[0016] Also, while the operation of the bottle cap moves upward,
the mixed contents within the container may be discharged through a
discharge hole that is formed when the operation part may be spaced
apart from the operation sealing part.
[0017] Also, the operation sealing part may include an auxiliary

[0035] Also, an air compression prevention groove 305 having a long
groove or long protrusion shape is defined in the auxiliary
assembly part 300 corresponding to the main body mouth 101 to
prevent air compression from occurring while the auxiliary assembly
part 300 is assembled around the main body mouth 101. A stopper 507
is disposed on an inner wall of a lower end of the opening/closing
part-side corresponding part 506 to prevent the operation part 500
from being separated by being caught on a lower end of the

of the receiving part 200.
[0039] In the bottle cap 1 having the above-described components,
the receiving part 200 is assembled inside the main body 100, and
the opening hole 202 of the receiving part 200 is blocked by the
sealing part 602 of the discharge member 600. A liquid or powder is
injected into the storage space 201 of the receiving part 200
having the above-described configuration through the main body

the above-described configuration, the operation sealing part 400
is assembled with the auxiliary assembly part 300, and the
operation part 500 is coupled around the auxiliary assembly 300 and
the operation sealing part 400.
[0040] Also, when the operation part 500 including the auxiliary
assembly part 300 and the operation sealing part 400 presses the
main body mouth 101 of the main body 100, the operation part 500 is
coupled to a mouth fixing stopper 307 of the auxiliary assembly
part 300 over a stopper 102 disposed outside the main body mouth
101.
[0041] For reference, FIG. 2 is a view for explaining a principle
in which the discharge member opening part 504 of the operation
part 500 is coupled around the reinforcement piece 402 of the
operation sealing part 400. That is, FIG. 2 is a cutaway
perspective or exploded view of a main part for easily explaining
the process in which the coupling part 401 of the operation sealing
part 400 is assembled with the operation sealing part assembly part
304 of the auxiliary assembly part 300 corresponding thereto.
[0042] The operation effects of the present invention will be
described below.
[0043] The bottle cap 1 as illustrated in FIG. 1 is coupled or
assembled in the discharge direction of the content of the
container. In this state, when the operation part 500 rotates (is
opened), the opening/closing part-side corresponding part 506 of
the operation part 500 moves upward along the opening/closing part
screw thread 303. In this process, the discharge member opening
part 504 moves upward by being caught by the discharge member
stopper 501 of the discharge member 600.
[0044] Also, in this process, the operation part 500 moves upward
while rotating together with the operation sealing part 400. As
illustrated in FIG. 4, when the operation part 500 is continuously
opened, the stopper 507 is hung on the opening/closing part-side
corresponding part 506 that corresponds to a lower end of the screw
thread structure and thus does not move upward any more. In this
state, the discharge member 600 may also be closely attached to the
inner wall of the main body mouth 101.
[0045] Also, while the operation part 500 moves upward, the sealing
part 602 gets out of the opening/closing hole 202. In this process,
the different kind of material stored in the storage space 201
drops into the container through the opening/closing hole 202 and
then is mixed.
[0046] Also, while the sealing part 602 of the discharge member 600
gets out of the opening hole 202, a discharge hole inner wall 508
of the operation part 500 may also get out of the opening/closing
hole sealing part 403 to form the discharge hole 501. The contents
maxed within the container may be finally discharged through the
discharge hole 501 via the opening hole 202. Here, when the
container is inclined in one direction, the contents within the
container may be more easily discharged.
[0047] Also, as illustrated in FIG. 4, a groove 509 may be defined
in an outer wall that is opposite to the discharge hole inner wall
508 so that a remaining liquid easily drops while the operation
part 500 is sealed again.
[0048] For reference, FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view of the
discharge member opening part 504, and FIG. 3 is a view
illustrating a state, in which the operation part 500 and the
discharge member 600 operate, by using dotted lines.
[0049] In addition, in the state of FIG. 4, the discharge of the
content through the discharge hole 501 may be performed through the
discharge hole 501 of the final operation part 500 by the discharge
hole 404 of the operation sealing part 400.
[0050] According to another embodiment (see FIG. 6), an
opening/closing part-side corresponding part 103 is disposed to be
slightly spaced in a direction of an outer annular part of the main
body mouth 101. A sealing part space 104 in which the auxiliary
sealing part 505 is assembled is defined between the main body
mouth 101 and the opening/closing part-side corresponding part 103.
The operation sealing part 400 is configured so that the coupling
part 401 of the operation sealing part 400 is coupled to the
operation sealing part assembly part 105 disposed on the inner wall
of the main body mouth 101.
[0051] In the use of the present invention as described above, when
the operation part 500 is opened, the discharge member opening part
504 ascends by catching the discharge member stopper 601 of the
discharge member 600. In this process, the operation sealing part
400 rotates together with the operation part 500. Also, the
operation part moves upward from the operation sealing part 400 to
form the discharge hole.
[0052] According to further another embodiment (see FIG. 7), the
current embodiment fundamentally includes the same ideas of the
present invention described with reference to FIG. 6. However, a
screw groove 1006 having a screw shape is defined in an outer
annular portion of the main body mouth 101, and a screw 510 is
formed on a portion of the operation part 500 that corresponds
thereto.
[0053] In the use of the present invention as described above, an
operation part 500 is opened, a screw thread 510 moves upward along
the screw grove 106 of the main body mouth 101 and thus, the
operation part 500 moves upward with respect to the operation
sealing part 400.
[0054] According to further another embodiment (see FIG. 8), the
current embodiment describes an example in which the discharge
member 600 assembled inside the bottle cap 1 is lifted by using a
different method. Explaining in addition to the description of FIG.
1, while the operation part 500 together with the operation sealing
part 400 moves upward, the discharge member opening part 504 moves
along a screw groove 603 corresponding thereto. While the operation
part 500 is opened, the discharge member opening part 504 moves
along the screw groove 603 on an inner wall of the discharge member
600. In this process, a fixing groove may be defined in an outer
direction of the discharge member 600 so that the discharge member
600 does not rotate, but is lifted upward. A fixing part 107 is
disposed on the inner wall of the main body mouth 101 that is a
corresponding surface thereof.
[0055] More particularly explaining the embodiment of the present
invention as described above, as illustrated in FIG. 9, while the
discharge member opening part 504 rotates along the screw groove
603, the discharge member 600 moves upward by the induction of the
fixing part 107.
[0056] According to further another embodiment, FIG. 11 illustrates
a process in which, when the operation part 500 is opened, the
discharge member 600 descends downward by the induction of the
screw groove 603. In this process, the sealing part 602 that blocks
the opening/closing hole 202 descends downward, and thus, the
opening/closing hole 202 is opened. FIG. 10 illustrates an example
in which the discharge member 600 is opened downward.
[0057] According to further another embodiment, FIG. 12 illustrates
a process in which, when the operation part 500 is opened, a screw
thread 605 is disposed on an outer surface of the discharge member
600 so that the discharge member 600 descends downward in a screw
manner. Also, a screw thread 109 is formed on an inner wall of the
main body mouth 101 corresponding thereto. In use, the discharge
member 600 descends downward while the discharge member opening
part 504 rotates along the long groove 606.
[0058] According to further another embodiment (see FIG. 13), the
current embodiment may be a concept that is opposite to that of
FIG. 12. That is, when the operation part 500 is opened, the
discharge member 600 moves upward. Thus, the operation part 500
rotates to move upward, and a gap between the operation part 500
and the operation sealing part 400 is generated to form a discharge
hole. Then, the discharge member 600 rotates by the discharge
member opening part 504 in a state where the discharge member 600
is fitted into the long groove 606. In this process, the screw
thread 605 formed on an outer annular portion of the discharge
member 600 moves upward along the screw thread 109 formed on the
inner wall of the main body mouth 101 corresponding thereto. In
this process, the sealing part 602 moves upward to open the
opening/closing hole 202 that is defined thereunder.
[0059] According to further another embodiment (see FIG. 14), when
the operation part 500 is opened, the operation sealing part 400
coupled around the operation sealing part assembly part 304 of the
auxiliary assembly part 300 seals the discharge hole 501 of the
operation part 500. When the operation part 500 is opened, the
screw thread 510 ascends along the screw groove defined in the
corresponding portion thereof. In this process, the auxiliary
sealing part may also move upward.
[0060] Also, while the operation part 500 is opened, although the
operation sealing part 400 rotates together, a gap between the
operation part 500 and the operation sealing part 400 is generated
to form a discharge hole 501. Also, while the operation part 500
operates, the discharge opening part 504 of the operation part 500
moves upward, and also, the discharge member 600 may also move
upward. In this process, the sealing part 602 ascends to open the
opening/closing hole 202.
[0061] According to further another embodiment (see FIG. 15),
although the current embodiment corresponds to a modified example
of FIG. 14, the fundamental component is the same. However, the
screw thread 510 of the operation part 500 is directly disposed on
the outer annular portion of the auxiliary assembly part 300. Also,
in use, the discharge member opening part 504 ascends by a
predetermined height by catching the discharge stopper 601 of the
discharge member 600, and thus, the opening/closing hole 202 that
is defined thereunder is opened. The ascending of the discharge
member 600 may occur because the screw thread 510 of the operation
part 500 operates so that the operation part 500 moves along the
screw groove formed on the outer wall of the auxiliary assembly
part 300.
[0062] According to further another embodiment (see FIG. 16), in
the present invention, while the operation part 500 is lifted
upward without rotating, the discharge member 600 on which the
discharge stopper 601 is hung on the discharge opening part 504 of
the operation part 500 is lifted. In this process, the sealing part
602 that blocks the opening/closing hole 202 is opened.
[0063] This is done for a reason in which the content within the
storage space 201 of the receiving part 200 is injected through the
inner discharge hole of the main body mouth 101 before the
operation is coupled to the main body mouth 101. In this state, the
groove 405 of the operation sealing part 400 is fitted into and
assembled with a protrusion 108 of the main body mouth 101.
Simultaneously, the operation part 500 assembles the main body
mouth 101. This series of processes may be illustrated in processes
that are performed and completed from the state of FIG. 17 to the
state of FIG. 16.
[0064] According to further another embodiment (see FIG. 18), a
discharge member withdrawal stopper 607 is disposed on an upper end
of the discharge member 600 so that the discharge member 600
ascends while the operation part 500 moves upward. Also, a stopper
511 may be disposed on a surface of the operation part 500 that
corresponds thereto. Also, a screw thread 109 is formed on an outer
annular portion of the main body mouth 101, and a screw thread 512
is formed on the operation part 500 that corresponds thereto.
[0065] Also, when the operation part 500 is opened, a lower end
stopper 513 is disposed on a lower end inner wall of the outer
annular portion of the operation part 500 to prevent the operation
part 500 from further ascending by being caught by the lower end of
the screw thread 109.
[0066] In use as described above, in addition that the lower end
stopper 513 is caught by and fixed to the lower end of the screw
thread 109, an outer annular stopper 608 of the discharge member
600 may be caught by the lower end of the inner wall of the main
body mouth 101 and thus may not further move upward.
[0067] Also, while the operation part 500 ascends, the operation
part 500 is spaced apart from the operation sealing part 400 to
form a discharge hole in an upper portion thereof. Simultaneously,
the sealing part 602 ascends to open the opening/closing hole 202,
and also, the content within the storage space 201 is discharged
through the opening/closing hole 202 (see FIGS. 19 and 20).
[0068] Also, the operation sealing part 400 is coupled in a manner
in which a protrusion 406 is fitted into a groove 609 defined in an
upper end of the inner wall of the mouth of the discharge member
600 that corresponds thereto.
[0069] According to further another embodiment (see FIG. 21), the
present invention relates to a structure in which the discharge
member 600 lifts the operation part 500. When the operation part
500 is opened, the operation part 500 together with the discharge
member 600 moves upward while a screw thread 514 of the operation
part 500 moves along a screw thread 111 formed on the outer annular
portion of the opening/closing side part 110. In this process, when
a stopper 515 is caught by a mouth stopper 112 of the main body
mouth 101, the operation part 500 and the discharge member 600 may
not further operate.
[0070] Also, in this process, the sealing part 602 gets out of the
opening/closing hole 202 to allow the content of the storage space
201 to drop downward. The mixed contents may be discharged through
the discharge hole formed when the operation part 500 is spaced
apart from the operation sealing part 400.
[0071] According to further another embodiment (see FIG. 22), the
current embodiment is an application example of FIG. 21. A
corresponding stopper 114 fixed to the stopper 515 is disposed on
an upper end annular portion of the main body mouth 101, and a
groove that is recessed in an annular shape so that the stopper 515
is inserted at a predetermined depth is defined in a lower end of
the outer annular portion of the stopper 114.
[0072] In the use of the present invention as described above,
while the operation part 500 is opened, a discharge member
withdrawal stopper 607 ascends by the stopper 511, and then an
outer annular stopper 608 of the discharge member 600 is caught by
a lower end stopper 113 that corresponds thereto, or the stopper
515 of the operation part 500 is caught by the stopper 114 that
corresponds thereto to prevent the discharge member from more
ascending upward. In this process, the lower opening/closing hole
of the receiving part 200 is opened.
[0073] Also, while the operation part 500 is spaced apart from the
operation sealing part 400, the discharge hole is defined in the
operation part 500 and the operation sealing part 400. Since this
has been described in detail with reference to the first
embodiment, their detailed description will be omitted.
[0074] According to further another embodiment (see FIG. 23), the
operation sealing part 400 is assembled with the operation part
500, and the discharge member withdrawal stopper 407 of the
operation sealing part 400 is caught by the stopper 511 of the
operation part 500.
[0075] In this state, when the operation part 500 is coupled around
the main body mouth 101, the assembly part 408 is coupled to a
discharge member upper end 610. In this state, when the operation
part 500 is opened, the discharge member 600 together with the
operation part 500 moves upward. In this process, when an outer
annular stopper 608 is caught by a lower end stopper 113 of the
main body mouth 101, the discharge member 600 may not further move
upward, but be stopped.
[0076] Also, the contents mixed through a discharge hole formed
when the operation part 500 is spaced apart from the operation
sealing part 400 are discharged. Here, the contents may be
discharged via the discharge hole 404. While the discharge member
600 ascends, the content contained in the storage space 201 of the
receiving part 200 may drop down through the operating/closing hole
formed when the discharge member 600 ascends.
[0077] According to further another embodiment (see FIG. 24), the
receiving part 115 having an integrated storage space 116 is
disposed in an inner lower portion of the main body 100, and an
opening/closing hole 117 is defined in a lower portion of the
receiving part 115.
[0078] Also, the opening/closing hole 117 is sealed by the sealing
part 602, and the sealing part 602 is fitted into the lower end of
the discharge member 600. The discharge member 600 is assembled
with the main body mouth 101 having an expanded upper portion.
[0079] Also, an outer annular stopper 611 is disposed on an outer
annular part corresponding part of the discharge member 600 so that
a stopper 118 disposed on an upper end of the inner wall of the
main body mouth 101 is caught to prevent the discharge member 600
from being separated from the main body mouth 101 above a
predetermined degree.
[0080] Also, a mouth upper end stopper 612 is disposed on an upper
end of the operation part 500, and a stopper 516 caught by the
mouth upper end stopper 612 is disposed on a corresponding portion
thereof.
[0081] In use as described above, when the operation part 500
ascends while an opening stopper 516 catches the mouth upper end
stopper 612, and then is caught by the stopper 118 of the main body
mouth 101, the discharge member 600 does not ascends and then is
stopped.
[0082] Also, the opening/closing hole 117 is opened while the
sealing part 602 ascends, and thus, the content of the storage
space 116 drops down through the opening/closing hole 117. The
content dropping and mixed is discharged via the discharge hole
404.
[0083] Also, while the operation part 500 is opened, the outer
annular stopper 611 is caught by the stopper 118. Then, while the
stopper 516 of the operation part 500 gets out of the mouth upper
end stopper 612, the upper end of the discharge hole 404 is opened.
Thus, the content is discharged through the opened discharge hole
501.
[0084] For reference, the operation sealing part 400 is assembled
in a manner in which a fixing stopper 409 is fitted into a fixing
part 613 of the discharge member 600. While the discharge member
600 moves upward, the sealing part ascends, and when the discharge
member descends, the sealing part 602 is caught by a sealing part
removing protrusion 119 disposed in a direction of an upper end of
the opening/closing hole 117, and thus, the opening/closing hole
117 is not blocked.
[0085] Also, in the description of FIGS. 1 to 24, a part that is
exposed as a reference numeral (symbol), but is not described in
reference numeral (symbol) may be understood as the same reference
numeral (symbol) if the same reference numeral (symbol) is used,
and the reference numeral (symbol) is previously described. For
example, if reference numeral (symbol) "100" in FIG. 22 is not
described, and the reference numeral (symbol) "100" is defined as
the main body in FIG. 1, reference numeral (symbol) "100" in FIG.
22 may be defined as the main body.
