Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present invention relates to an apparatus for containing
materials mode of two or more components, and more particularly, to
a container closure for effectively mixing concentrate with water,
concentrate with general beverage, granulation with water, or
powder with water, and so an.
[0002] Also, the apparatus for containing the heterogeneous
materials may be used in industrial fields such as medicine,
pharmacy, cosmetics, and the like and alcoholic beverage fields so
as to improve mixture of the 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.
[0009] Also, there is International Patent Publication No.
WO2007/79200. Here, a screw thread is formed on an outer annular
part of an inner cap, and an operation part that rotates to an
outer annular part to correspond to the screw thread of the inner
cap cuts a sealing part within the inner cap by using a sharp
portion thereof. However, the sealing for a storage space may be
deteriorated, and also, it may be difficult to manufacture the
portion for breaking the sealing part so as to mix the content
within the storage space.
DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION
Technical Problem
[0010] An objective of the present invention is to form a new
content through a method in which, when a bottle cap containing a
heterogeneous material is coupled to a container neck, an operation
part is opposed to the container neck during the above-described
process, and thus, the heterogeneous material contained in a
storage space drops into a space within the container and then is
mixed.
[0011] Another objective of the present invention is to discharge
mixed contents through an upper cap that is disposed on an upper
portion of the bottle cap.
Technical Solution
[0012] A bottle cap containing a different kind of material
includes a main body coupled to a container neck and a receiving
part having a storage space, which is coupled to the inside of the
main body. Also, an opening/closing that is a path through which a
content of a storage space drops is defined in a lower portion of
the receiving part, and a sealing part is disposed on the
opening/closing hole. Also, an operation part including a dolphin
for removing the sealing part of the receiving part is coupled to
the bottom of the receiving part of the bottle cap.
[0013] Also, the sealing part disposed on a lower portion of the
storage space of the receiving part may block the opening/closing
hole from an upper portion to a lower portion or be provided as a
thin film. Thus, the content of the storage space may drop into the
container through the opening/closing hole and then be mixed in a
manner in which the operation part ascends upward to push the
opening/closing hole upward, or the thin film is cut.
[0014] Also, a dolphin that lengthily extends is disposed on the
bottom of the main body including the receiving part, and a sealing
part that is partitioned by using a cutoff line is disposed to
correspond to the dolphin. Thus, in this state, when the operation
part moves upward, the dolphin corresponding thereto may break the
sealing part that is partitioned by the cutoff line to allow the
content of the storage space to drop and be mixed.
Advantageous Effects
[0015] According to the present invention, the separate storage
space may be formed to be spaced apart from the main content stored
in the container to store powder, granulation, or concentrate, and
then, the bottle cap may be simply coupled to allow the
heterogeneous material to drop and be mixed through the simple
manipulation such as the coupling of the bottle cap, thereby easily
simply manipulating the mixing of the heterogeneous material.

MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
[0023] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention
will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying
drawings.
[0024] A bottle cap 1 containing a different kind of material,
which is coupled to a container in a discharge direction of a
content includes a main body 10 coupled to a mouth of the container
and a receiving part 20 having a storage space 22 and an
opening/closing hole 22 within the main body 10. A discharge member
30 is coupled around a main body mouth 11 that is disposed in an
upper portion of the main body 10 having the receiving part 20, and
the opening/closing hole 22 of the receiving part 20 is sealed by a
lower side of the discharge member 30. Also, a discharge member
upper stopper 41 of an upper cap 40 is caught by and assembled
around an upper end upper stopper 32 of the discharge member 30. In
the bottle cap 1 having the above-described structure, when the
upper cap 40 is opened, the discharge member 30 ascends, and a
sealing part that seals the opening/closing hole 22 of the
receiving part 20 is lifted upward to open the opening/closing hole
22 of the receiving part 20.
[0025] Also, an annular rim 53 is disposed on an upper end with
respect to the bottom of the receiving part 20, and an operation
part 50 on which a dolphin 52 is disposed in a space 51 defined
therebetween is disposed on the bottom.
[0026] In the bottle cap 1 as described above, when the bottle cap
1 including the operation part 50 is assembled with a neck of a
container 100, the operation part 50 is opposed to the neck of the
container 100 and thus is stopped temporarily. In this state, the
main body 10 together with the receiving part 20 descends, and the
dolphin 52 of the operation part 50 pushes the sealing part 31
mounted on the opening/closing hole 22 of the receiving part 20
upward. In this state, the different kind of material stored in the
storage space 21 of the receiving part 20 drops through the
opening/closing hole 22 of the receiving part 20 and then is
mixed.
[0027] Also, an annular rim 53 is disposed on an upper outer
annular portion of the operation part 50, and the operation part 20
moves upward with respect to the receiving part 20 when the annular
rim 53 contacts an upper end of the neck of the container 100. In
this process, the dolphin of the operation part 50 pushes the
sealing part 31 mounted on the opening/closing hole 22 of the
receiving part 20 upward.
[0028] For reference, the operation part 50 is inserted into the
neck of the container 100. In this state, when the bottle cap 1
rotates with respect to the neck of the container 100, while the
main body 10 of the bottle cap 1 is coupled with respect to the
neck of the container 100, the operation part 50 and the receiving
part 20 are closely attached to each other. In this process, the
dolphin 52 of the operation part 50 may push the sealing part 31 of
the receiving part 20 outward to open the opening/closing hole
22.
[0029] Also, while a screw thread 12 formed on an inner wall of a
side surface of the main body 10 is coupled along a container neck
screw thread 101 of the container 100, the operation part 50 is
fitted into and coupled around the main body 10. In this process,
the annular rim 53 of the operation part 50 is closely fixed to an
annular rim stopper 13 of the main body 10.
[0030] Also, when the upper cap 40 is opened, the screw thread 42
of the upper cap 40 ascends along the screw thread 15 of the main
body mouth 11, and also, an upper stopper 32 ascends together with
the discharge member 30. Then, when a stopper 33 of the discharge
member 30 is hung on a mouth lower end 14, the upper cap 40 is
separated from the upper stopper 32 of the discharge member 30 and
thus is separated from the discharge member 30. As a result, the
mixed contents are discharged through the discharge member 30 (see
FIGS. 1 and 2).
[0031] According to another embodiment (see FIGS. 3 to 6), the
bottle cap 1 includes a main body 10 coupled around the neck of the
container and a receiving part 20 having a storage space 21 and an
opening/closing hole 22 within the main body 10. The
opening/closing hole 22 of the receiving part 20 is sealed by a
sealing part 60. An operation part 50 is fitted into and assembled
with the bottom of the receiving part 20. When the bottle cap 1
with which the operation part 50 is assembled is coupled around the
container neck, the receiving part 20 moves downward with respect
to the operation part 50, and thus, the sealing part 60 that blocks
the opening/closing hole 2 of the receiving part 20 is pushed
toward the receiving space 21 to allow the different kind of
material stored in the storage space 21 to drop through the
opening/closing hole 22.
[0032] Also, when the operation part 50 is fitted into the
receiving part 20 to reduce a distance therebetween, in the state
where the annular rim 53 disposed on an upper end outer annular
portion of the operation part 50 contacts the upper end of the
container neck, the receiving part 20 and the operation part 50 may
be more coupled to each other while the main body 1 of the bottle
cap 1 is coupled along the container neck.
[0033] Also, when the receiving part 20 and the operation part 50
are assembled with each other to reduce the distance therebetween,
the dolphin 52 disposed on a lower portion of the operation part 50
pushes the sealing part 60 that blocks the opening/closing hole 22
of the receiving part 20 toward the storage space of the receiving
part 20 to open the opening/closing hole 22 of the receiving part
20.
[0034] Also, the dolphin 52 of the operation part 50 has a space 52
thereunder, and the annular rim 53 of the operation part 50 is
coupled to a portion of the main body 10 to remove the operation
part 50 and the main body 10 from the container neck.
[0035] Also, the annular rim 53 of the operation part 50 is hung on
an annular rim stopper 13 of the main body 10 so that the operation
part 50 and the receiving part 20 are integrated with each other.
Thus, in the state where the operation part 50 is coupled to the
main body 10, the operation part 50 and the main body 10 are
separated from the container neck.
[0036] Also, an opening/closing operation part 70 and an upper cap
80 for discharging the mixed contents may be provided in an upper
portion of the bottle cap 1 including the operation part 50 (see
FIG. 5 or 6).
[0037] According to further another embodiment (see FIGS. 7 to 10),
a bottle cap 1 containing a different kind of material, which is
coupled to a container in a discharge direction of a content
includes a main body 10 coupled to a container neck and a receiving
part 16 having a storage space 17 in an inner lower side of the
main body 10. A dolphin 18 lengthily extending downward is disposed
on an upper portion of the main body having the receiving part 16,
and an operation part 50 is coupled around the receiving part 16.
Also, a sealing part 54 that is openable by the dolphin 18 is
disposed on a lower portion of the operation part 50. When the
bottle cap 1 having the above-described configuration is coupled
around a container neck, an annular rim 53 disposed on an upper
outer annular portion of the operation part 50 contacts an upper
end of the container neck, and simultaneously, while the main body
is coupled around the container neck, the dolphin 18 pushes the
sealing part 54 to break a cutoff line 55 formed on a portion of
the sealing part 54, thereby opening the opening/closing hole
56.
[0038] For reference, FIGS. 7 and 10 illustrate a modified example
of the operation part 50, and FIG. 8 illustrates an example of the
usage state in FIG. 7. Also, FIG. 9 illustrates an example of the
usage state in FIG. 10. Here, the mixed contents may be discharged
by separating the bottle cap 1 or opening the opening/closing
operation part 70.
[0039] According to further another embodiment (see FIGS. 11 and
12), a bottle cap 1 containing a different kind of material, which
is coupled to a container in a discharge direction of a content
includes a main body 10 coupled around a mouth of a container neck
and a receiving part 16 having a storage space 17 within the main
body 10. An operation part 50 is coupled to an outer annular
portion of the receiving part 16. When the bottle cap 1 to which
the operation part 50 is coupled is disposed on the container neck
and then is coupled to the main body 10, a distance between the
operation part 50 and the receiving part 16 is reduced while the
main body 10 is coupled to the container neck. In this process, a
dolphin 52 having a space 57 defined above the bottom of the
operation part 50 punches a sealing part 90 that blocks the inner
storage space 17 of the main body 10, and thus, the different kind
of material stored in the storage space 17 drops into a space of
the broken sealing part 90.
[0040] Also, an annular rim 53 is disposed on an upper outer
annular portion of the operation part 50 to contact an upper end of
a container neck. In this process, when the main body 10 is further
coupled to the container neck, the operation part 50 may be further
fitted into the main body 10 to reduce a distance therebetween. In
this process, the dolphin 52 of the operation part 50 breaks the
sealing part 90 disposed on the lower portion of the receiving part
16.
[0041] Also, the annular rim 53 is disposed on an upper end annular
portion of the operation part, and an annular rim stopper 13 is
disposed within the main body corresponding thereto. When the
operation part 50 is fitted around the inner receiving part 16 of
the main body 10, the annular rim of the operation part 50 is hung
on the annular rim stopper 13 of the main body 10 so that the
operation part 50 and the main body 10 are integrated with each
other.
[0042] According to another embodiment (see FIGS. 13 and 14), a
bottle cap 1 containing a different kind of material, which is
coupled to a container in a discharge direction of a content
includes a main body 10 coupled to a container neck. A sealing part
S having an opening/closing hole 19 that lengthily extends downward
is disposed on an inner lower portion of the main body 10, and a
receiving part 16 having a storage space 17 is disposed on an outer
annular portion of the sealing part S having the opening/closing
hole 19 that lengthily extends. An operation part 50 including a
sealing corresponding part 58 is coupled around the receiving part
16. When the bottle cap 1 including the operation part 50 is
coupled to the container neck, the operation part 50 is opposed to
an upper end of the container neck to stop. In this state, when the
main body 10 is further coupled, the sealing part S of the main
body gets out of the sealing corresponding part 58 of the operation
part 50, and simultaneously, a different kind of material contained
in the storage space 17 drops down through the opening/closing hole
19.
[0043] Also, an annular rim 53 is disposed on an upper outer
annular portion of the operation part 50 to contact an upper end of
the container neck, thereby being opposed to the upper end of the
container neck. Thus, the operation part 50 is more fitted around
the receiving part 16, and in this process, the sealing part S gets
out of the sealing corresponding part 58 to open the
opening/closing hole 19.
[0044] Also, a separate opening/closing operation part 70 for
discharging the mixed contents is disposed on an upper end of the
bottle cap 1.
[0045] According to further another embodiment (see FIGS. 15 and
20), a bottle cap 1 containing a different kind of material, which
is coupled to a container in a discharge direction of a content
includes a main body 10. An operation part 50 is coupled to the
inside of the main body 10, and also, the operation part 50 is
inserted into a container neck. When an operation part induction
part G having a storage space 17 between the operation part 50 and
the main body 10 is coupled to therearound, the operation part 50
is fixed to the container neck. In this state, when the main body
10 rotates, a cutoff line 55 formed on the bottom of the operation
part 50 is broken to open the sealing part 54 while the main body
moves downward with respect to the operation part 50. A dolphin 52
that lengthily extends is disposed on an upper portion of the
sealing part 54. While the dolphin 52 contacts the bottom of the
main body 10, the dolphin 52 is pushed downward to open the sealing
part 54. As a result, the different kind of material stored in the
storage space 17 drops into the container through the opening space
of the sealing part 54.
[0046] Also, an annular rim 53 is disposed on an upper outer
annular portion of the operation part 50, and also, the annular rim
53 includes the operation part induction part G between an annular
rim stopper 13 of the main body 10 and the main body 10
corresponding to the operation part 50. Thus, the operation part 50
together with the main body 10 is separated from the neck of the
container 100 in a manner in which the operation part 50 is fitted
into the operation part induction part G (see FIGS. 15 to 18).
[0047] Also, a thin film-shaped auxiliary sealing part SS is
disposed on a lower portion of the sealing part 54 to improve
airtightness. As illustrated in FIG. 16, the cutoff line 55 may be
reinforced by using a resin such as silicon.
[0048] Also, a separate receiving part 20 having a storage space 21
is coupled to a lower portion of the main body 10 through a
protrusion or groove. As illustrated in FIG. 15, a sealing part 54
including a dolphin 52 and a sealing part 54 may be coupled to the
receiving part 20 (see FIG. 17).
[0049] Also, when the main body 10 is coupled around the operation
part 50, the dolphin 18 that lengthily extends on the bottom of the
main body 10 may push sealing part 54 of the operation part 50 that
corresponds thereto to open the opening/closing hole.
[0050] For reference, the main body 10 of the bottle cap 1 may be
coupled to the container in a screw manner, one-touch manner, or
adhesion manner. Also, the screw thread formed on the main body 10
may be realized through various manners.
[0051] Also, a screw thread is formed between the operation part 50
and the receiving part 20, and thus a distance between the
operation part 50 and the receiving part 20 is reduced by the screw
thread. However, in this case, the sealing of the storage space may
be deteriorated, and thus, this method may be non-efficiency.
