Description
FIELD OF TECHNOLOGY
[0001] The present disclosure relates to a tube vessel with a wide
nozzle, more particularly a tube vessel with a wide nozzle wherein
an outer cap is coupled to an inner cap for rotating on the inner
cap, and the inner cap descends as being pressurized by the outer
cap in a process of the outer cap being screw-coupled to a tube
neck, and thereby a wide nozzle gets sealed through an
opening/closing protrusion of the inner cap, such that the wide
nozzle can smoothly open/close the wide nozzle in a process of
being screw-coupled or being released from a screw coupling, and
thereby provides user convenience.
BACKGROUND
[0002] Generally, tube vessels include: a tube body where contents
are stored; a tube neck which supports the tube body, coupled to
the tube body, and forms a contents discharging hole; and an over
cap which is detatchably coupled to the tube neck and opens/closes
the contents discharging hole.
[0003] A tube vessel as in the above has a structure wherein inner
pressure of the tube body changes when a tube body is pressurized,
such that contents can be discharged through the contents
discharging hole. However, since a contents discharging hole is
formed in a shape of a small circle without exception, it is not
easy to apply contents onto a wide area at one, and thus in case of
vessels for applying contents onto a wide area such as toothpaste,
lip gloss, and eye cream, a user should discharge contents as
moving the vessel, thereby resulting in a user inconvenience.
[0004] To resolve these problems, a registered utility model no.
20-0438506 (hereafter called as patent document 1, `a cap of tube
vessel capable of applying content wide` was disclosed.
[0005] The patent document 1 discloses a tube vessel, the tube
vessel coupled with a tube vessel cap opening/closing a cover body
thereof and discharging contents in a small amount for using,
[0006] characterized in that a tube vessel cap (10) is composed of
a cap body (20) and a cover body (30), wherein the cap body (20)
and the cover body (30) are hinge-coupled; at an upper portion of
the cap body (20) is protrusivly formed a contents outlet (22)
which has a wide width and a narrow length; on the contents outlet
(22) is formed a contents discharging hole (24) having a zigzag
shape; the proportion of the width and the length of the contents
outlet (22) is 3:1 or 4:1 and a height should be 1 to 2 times of
the length; at a side of the cap body (20) is formed a fastening
groove (26); at a side of the cover body (30) is formed a fastening
outlet (36) which is fastened to the fastening groove of the cover
body (20); and at an inner center of the cover body (30) is formed
a cutoff opening (32) which blocks content discharging by encasing
and covering the content outlet (22) of the cap body (20).
[0007] The patent document 1 has a structure wherein the proportion
of the width length and the height length is 3:1 to 4:1, such that
it is possible to discharge contents thinly and wide and then
spread them easily. However, this structure can only be applicable
to the tube vessel cap (10) which is composed of a cap body (20)
and a cover body (30) and in which the cover body (30) is
hinge-coupled to the cap body (20); therefore, there arises a
problem that it is not applicable to the tube vessel cap wherein an
over cap is attached/detached with screw-coupling.
SUMMARY OF THE DISCLOSURE
[0008] The present invention is devised to solve the said problems
above, and its goal is to provide a tube vessel with a wide nozzle
wherein an outer cap is coupled to an inner cap for rotating on the
inner cap, and the inner cap descends as being pressurized by the
outer cap in a process of the outer cap being screw-coupled to a
tube neck, and thereby a wide nozzle gets sealed through an
opening/closing protrusion of the inner cap, such that the wide
nozzle can smoothly open/close the wide nozzle in a process of
being screw-coupled or being released from a screw coupling, and
thereby provides user convenience.
[0009] To solve the above problems, a tube vessel with a wide
nozzle according to the present invention comprises: a tube body
where contents are stored; a tube neck which is coupled to an upper
portion of the tube body and support the tube body, forming a first
screw thread at an outer circumferential surface and provided with
a wide nozzle formed with the width length longer than the height
length; an outer cap which forms a second screw thread at an inner
circumferential surface so as to be detachably coupled in
screw-coupling to the tube neck; and an inner cap which is coupled
to an inner side of the outer cap and is provided with an
opening/closing protrusion at an inner upper side thereof so as to
open/close the wide nozzle,
[0010] characterized in that the outer cap is coupled rotatably to
the inner cap, and the inner cap is pressurized and descanted by a
descent of the outer cap in a process of screw-coupling the outer
cap to the tube neck, such that the wide nozzle is closed through
the opening/closing protrusion of the inner cap.
[0011] Furthermore, it is characterized in that a rotation guide
groove is formed at an outer circumferential surface of the inner
cap for guiding an independent rotation of the outer cap, and a
coupling protrusion coupled to the rotation guide groove is formed
at an inner circumferential surface of the outer cap.
[0012] Furthermore, it is characterized in that a protrusion is
formed at an upper portion of the rotation guide groove of the
inner cap for preventing the coupling part of the outer cap from
moving in an upward direction and being separated from the rotation
guide groove in a state of being coupled to the rotation guide
groove.
[0013] Furthermore, it is characterized in that a securing
protrusion pressurized by the coupling protrusion is formed at a
lower portion of the rotation guide protrusion of the inner cap
such that the inner cap can descends together in a process that the
outer cap descends by a screw-coupling of the outer cap and the
tube neck.
[0014] Furthermore, it is characterized in that, when a
screw-coupling of the outer cap and the tube neck is released, an
opening/closing protrusion of the inner is separated from the wide
nozzle and thereby the wide nozzle opens such that the inner cap
can descend in a process that the outer cap ascends according to
the release of screw-coupling.
[0015] As mentioned above, the present disclosure is configured
wherein an outer cap is rotatably coupled to an inner cap, and in a
process of the outer cap being screw-coupled to a tube neck, the
inner cap descends as being pressurized by the outer cap; thereby,
a wide nozzle gets sealed through an opening/closing protrusion of
the inner cap. Therefore, in a process of being screw-coupled or
being released from a screw coupling, smoothly the wide nozzle
performs opening/closing, such that it is possible to provide user
convenience.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0020] Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention
will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying
drawings. The same reference numerals provided in the drawings
indicate the same members.
[0021] FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view illustrating a
configuration of a tube vessel with a wide nozzle according to an
exemplary embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 an assembled
perspective view illustrating a configuration of the tube vessel
with a wide nozzle according to an exemplary embodiment of the
present invention. FIG. 3 is an assembled cross-sectional view
illustrating a configuration of the tube vessel with a wide nozzle
according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.
[0022] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 3, a tube vessel with a wide nozzle
according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention
includes a tube body 100, a tube neck 200, an outer cap 300, and an
inner cap 400.
[0023] The tube body 100, storing contents, is made of soft tube
material such that it can be deformed by user's pressurization, and
contents can be discharged by inner pressure therein.
[0024] The tube neck 200 is coupled to an upper portion of the tube
body 100 and supports the tube body 100, forming a first screw
thread 210 at an outer circumferential surface such that the outer
cap 300 can be screw-coupled.
[0025] At the tube neck 200 is provided a wide nozzle 220 for
discharging contents stored in the tube body 100, wherein the wide
nozzle 220, in the present invention, is characterized to be formed
with the width length longer than the height length, and thereby it
is possible to discharge contents thinly and widely through the
wide nozzle 220.
[0026] Conventionally, toothpaste, lip gloss, eye cream and etc.
are supposed to be applied onto a wide area. By providing a wide
nozzle 220 as the above, it is possible to discharge contents at a
time and easily apply onto a wide region.
[0027] It is possible that a size of the wide nozzle 220 can be
determined within a range of the width length by forming longer
than the height length according to the area of the region for the
contents to be applied or the amount of contents discharged at a
time.
[0028] The outer cap 300, detachably coupled in screw-coupling to
the tube neck 300, is provided with a second screw thread 310 at an
inner circumferential surface for screw-coupling to the first screw
thread 210 of the tube neck 200.
[0029] The present invention is characterized in that at an inner
side of the outer cap is provided a coupling protrusion 320 which
is disposed at an upper portion of the second screw thread 310 and
coupled to a rotation guide groove 420 of the inner cap 400,
wherein the outer cap is configured to be able to rotate on the
inner cap through an undercut coupling of the coupling protrusion
320 and the rotation guide groove 420. As the outer cap 300
descends in a process of screw-coupling the outer cap 300 to the
tube neck 200, the coupling protrusion 320 of the outer cap 300
pressurizes a securing protrusion 440 of the inner cap 400 and then
the inner cap 400 descends together along, such that a wide nozzle
220 gets closed through an opening/closing protrusion 410 of the
inner cap 400.
[0030] Furthermore, when the outer cap 300 is released from a
screw-coupling with the tube neck 200, the coupling protrusion 320
pressurizes a lower end of a protrusion 430 of the inner cap 400 in
a process of the outer cap ascending by the release of
screw-coupling, and thus the inner cap 400 ascends together along,
such that the opening/closing protrusion 410 of the inner cap 400
becomes separated from the wide nozzle 220, thereby leading the
wide nozzle 220 to be opened.
[0031] The inner cap 400, coupled at an inner side of the outer cap
300, is provided with an opening/closing protrusion 410 at an upper
inner side thereof for opening/closing the wide nozzle 220 by
attachment/detachment of the outer cap 300, wherein the
opening/closing protrusion 410 can have a shape and a size which
corresponds to the wide nozzle 220. However, it is preferred to
have a structure of gradually getting wider towards the upper
portion for making it easy for the opening/closing protrusion 410
to be inserted into the wide nozzle 220.
[0032] The present invention is characterized in that a rotation
guide groove 420 is formed at an outer circumferential surface of
the inner cap 400 for guiding an independent rotation of the outer
cap 300. A coupling protrusion 320 of the outer cap 300 is coupled
to the rotation guide groove 420, and thereby the outer cap 300
rotates on the inner cap 400. A protrusion 430 is formed at an
upper portion of the rotation guide groove 420 such that the
coupling protrusion 320 of the outer cap 300 moves upwards in a
state of being coupled to the rotation guide grove 420 and prevents
the coupling protrusion 320 from being separated from the rotation
guide groove 420.
[0033] The protrusion 430 releases screw-coupling of the outer cap
300 and the tube neck 200 and is pressurized by a screw-coupling
when the out cap 300 ascends, and ascends along with the inner
cap.
[0034] Meanwhile, a securing protrusion which is pressurized by the
coupling protrusion 320 is formed at a lower portion of the
rotation guide groove 420 of the inner cap 400 such that the inner
cap 400 can descend together along in a process of the outer cap
300 descending by a screw-coupling of the outer cap 300 and the
tube neck 200.
[0035] Hereafter, referring FIGS. 4 to 6, an operational procedure
of a tube vessel with a wide nozzle according to an exemplary
embodiment of the present invention will be explained.
[0036] Firstly, as illustrated in FIG. 4, after securing the outer
cap 300 to the tube neck 200 in a state of placing the outer cap
300 at an upper portion of the tube neck 200, as illustrated in
FIG. 5, the outer cap 300 independently rotates while the inner cap
400 is being fixed when rotating the outer cap 300 to one side
direction, such that a first screw thread 210 of the tube neck 200
and a second screw thread 310 of the outer cap 300 get to be
screw-coupled and then the outer cap 300 descends. At this time,
the coupling protrusion 320 of the outer cap pressurizes a securing
protrusion 440 of the inner cap 400, and thereby the inner cap 400
descends together long. Due to this, a wide nozzle 220 gets closed
through an opening/closing protrusion 410 of the inner cap 400.
[0037] Meanwhile, when the outer cap 300 and the tube neck are
released from screw-coupling, the coupling protrusion 320
pressurizes a lower end of the protrusion 430 of the inner cap 400
while the outer cap 300 is ascending according to being released
from the screw-coupling, and thereby the inner cap 400 ascends
together along. Therefore, the opening/closing protrusion 410 of
the inner cap 400 gets separated from the wide nozzle 220, such
that the wide nozzle 220 gets opened.
[0038] When the wide nozzle 220 is open as in the above, a user can
pressurize the tube body 100 as illustrated in FIG. 6, and
discharge contents thinly and widely through the wide nozzle 220,
thereby easily applying contents onto skin.
[0039] The present invention having a structure of a wide nozzle
which has a longer width length than a height length is configured
to have a wide nozzle 220 sealed by the same usability as
screw-coupling an over cap to a conventional tube vessel, such that
a user does not need to recognize a direction of an opening/closing
protrusion 410 for sealing the wide nozzle 220, thereby providing
user convenience.
[0040] As described above, optimal embodiments have been disclosed
in the drawings and the specification. Although specific terms have
been used herein, these are only intended to describe the present
invention and are not intended to limit the meanings of the terms
or to restrict the scope of the present invention as disclosed in
the accompanying claims. Accordingly, those skilled in the art will
appreciate that various modifications and other equivalent
embodiments are possible from the above embodiments. Therefore, the
scope of the present invention should be defined by the technical
spirit of the accompanying claims.
