Benefits of technology

[0011] Another object of the present invention is to provide a container with the double lids, which has a variety of colors, thus providing a good appearance.

Problems solved by technology

If a hard plastic is used to produce the container, the film hinge may be broken by repeatedly rotating the locking flap.
However, in case that the container is made of the soft plastic, the container must be translucent or opaque because of the special feature of the soft plastic in that transparency thereof is poor.
As such, when the conventional containers are made of the above-mentioned translucent or opaque materials, users cannot confirm the contents, contained in the containers, without opening the containers.
Thus, the conventional containers cause inconvenience to the user.
Furthermore, in case that the conventional containers made of the soft plastic are colored, the containers become further translucent or further opaque.
Then, the users cannot confirm the contents in the container.
However, the uncolored containers are disadvantageous in that the appearances thereof are poor.
However, in case that the hard plastic is used to manufacture the container, a part of the container, which is made of the hard plastic having a physical feature different from the soft plastic, may not be easily bonded with another part of the container, which is made of the soft plastic.

first embodiment

[0031] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the container with double lids according to the present invention includes a container body 10 which defines therein a containing space, and a lid unit 20 which is coupled to an open top of the container body 10 to cover the containing space of the container body 10.

[0032] The container body 10 has a seating rib 11 which is provided around a predetermined portion of an outer surface of the container body 10 spaced apart from an edge of the open top of the container body 10 to a predetermined distance to be projected outward in a circumferential direction of the outer surface of the container body 10. Thus, when the lid unit 20 is coupled to the container body 10, the lid unit 20 is seated onto the seating rib 11. A plurality of locking protrusions 13 are provided on an outer edge of the seating rib 11 at positions spaced out at predetermined intervals. A locking protuberance 15 is provided by protruding downward under an end of each of the plurality...

second embodiment

[0041] In a second coupling method, as a second embodiment shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, a plurality of coupling protrusions 39 are provided by protruding upward around a circumferential upper surface of the coupling part 32 of the observing lid 30 at positions spaced out at predetermined intervals. A plurality of coupling holes 29 are provided on predetermined portions of the receiving part 26 of the locking lid 25 to correspond to and receive therein the plurality of coupling protrusions 39. Thus, the locking lid 25 and the observing lid 30 are coupled to each other while each of the plurality of coupling protrusions 39 of the observing lid 30 is inserted into each of the plurality of coupling holes 29 of the locking lid 25.

[0042] In a third coupling method, after the coupling part 32 of the observing lid 30 is received in the receiving part 26 of the locking lid 25, the coupling part 32 of the observing lid 30 and the receiving part 26 of the locking lid 25 are coupled to each other th...

Abstract

The present invention provides a container with double lids, which has a container body, a lid unit to close an open top of the container body, a locking flap provided on either of the container body and the lid unit, and a locking protrusion provided on a remaining one of the container body and the lid unit to lock thereto the locking flap. The lid unit of the container of the present invention includes a locking lid which is made of a soft material and has a predetermined shape to correspond to an edge of the open top of the container body, with an opening provided at an inside part of the locking lid, and a rim-shaped receiving part provided on a lower end of the locking lid to receive therein the edge of the open top of the container body; and an observing lid. The observing lid includes a cover plate to be placed in the opening of the locking lid, and a coupling part extending outward from an edge of the cover plate and to be inserted into the receiving part of the locking lid. Therefore, the container of the present invention allows a user to observe contents of the container through the observing lid, thus being convenient to the user. Furthermore, because the locking lid may be variously colored, the container of the present invention provides the double lids of two tones of color, thus enhancing the appearance thereof.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates generally to containers, and more particularly, to a container with double lids which comprise a locking lid and an observing lid, which is made of a material different from the locking lid and has a transparent plate to allow a user to easily observe contents in the container, and in which the locking lid has various colors, thus enhancing an appearance of the container. [0003] 2. Description of the Related Art [0004] Generally, containers each include a container body which has a predetermined space to contain therein contents, and a lid to close an open top of the container body. The container further includes a locking flap which is provided on either of the container body and the lid, and a locking protrusion which is provided on a remaining one of the container body and the lid to lock thereto the locking flap. By locking the locking flap to the locking protrusion, the lid is coup...
