Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a container cap and a container combined therewith, and more particularly to a container cap combined with a container filled with beverages and the like and a container combined therewith. Background Art
[0002] The plastic container cover is composed of a container for filling beverages and the like and a container cover combined with the container inlet.
[0003] However, the container lid combined with the container inlet forms a slight gap due to the tolerance between the container lid and the container inlet, and the contents such as beverages may leak to the outside through the lid gap, or moisture, bacteria, etc. may enter the container from the outside, causing the contents to deteriorate or be contaminated.
[0004] To prevent this phenomenon, the following methods are used in the prior art: 1) installing a sealing member on the upper surface of the container inlet, 2) forming an inner ring at the inner lower door of the container cover, or 3) inserting a filler into the inner space of the container cover.
[0005] However, the problem with the above methods is that although method 1 is the safest method, the process of setting the sealing component on the upper surface of the container inlet will increase the manufacturing cost, and it is combined with other materials and cannot be recycled.
[0006] The problem with method 2 is that when the container cover is combined with the container inlet, moisture, external gas, bacteria, etc. cannot be completely blocked due to the tolerance between the inner wall or outer wall of the container and the inner circle set in the inner space of the container cover. Summary of the invention
[0007] (Technical issues to be resolved)
[0008] The object of the present invention is to provide a container cover and a container combined therewith in order to solve the above-mentioned problem.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0058] The container cap and the container combined therewith of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0059] The technical gist of the present invention is to provide a new container cover and container structure, which can prevent external gas, bacteria, etc. from entering the container and prevent the contents from leaking out only by combining the container cover made of synthetic resin material with the container inlet.
[0060] Specifically, the container of the present invention includes: a container body 10, which is used to load contents and has a container inlet 12; a container cover 20, which is combined with the container inlet 12, and is characterized in that a plurality of close contact parts that are in close contact with each other are formed in at least one of the container cover 20 and the container inlet 12, and the close contact parts form a closed curve surrounding the container inlet 12, thereby blocking external air from entering the interior of the container body 10.
[0061] The container body 10 is used to hold not only liquid substances such as beverages, but also powders, tablets, granules and other contents. Depending on the shape and material of the liquid, powder, granules, etc., a variety of materials such as synthetic resin and glass can be used.
[0062] In particular, in order to be combined with the container cover of the present invention, the container body 10 and the container cover 20 have the same material, for example, PP, PE, PET and the like.
[0063] The close contact portion is a portion that is in close contact with at least one of the container cover 20 and the container inlet 12 , and any structure may be adopted as long as it is a portion that can form a close contact between the container cover 20 and the container inlet 12 .
[0064] In particular, regarding the close contact portion disclosed in the present invention, when the container cover 20 is rotated and / or lowered toward the container inlet 12 (for example, a single-piece or two-piece one-touch cover and an undercut cover (snap-on cover)) and combined, the two parts are in close contact due to the force of the container cover 20 descending toward the container inlet 12, thereby having the advantage of being combined to the container inlet in a manner that can completely block moisture, external air, bacteria, etc. from entering the interior of the container.
[0065] In addition, the container body 10 is basically formed in a cylindrical shape as the portion connected to the container cover 20, that is, the container inlet 12, and the remaining portions can adopt various structures according to the design and appearance.
[0066] Furthermore, the container inlet 12 is formed at a discharge port of the container body 10 to discharge the contents to the outside, and is combined with the container cover 20 . Various structures can be adopted according to the combination structure of the container.
[0067] In particular, the container inlet 12 is combined with the container cover 20 of the main product by rotation, and preferably, partially forms a cylindrical shape. In addition, for a one-piece one-touch cover (also called a Duma cover), such as a two-piece one-touch cover in which the cover and the main body are formed as one body by a hinge and an undercut cover combined only by an undercut (representative products: lactic acid bacteria yogurt products, the container of the product having a structure of being combined by descending toward the container inlet 12 is also preferably formed into a cylindrical shape.
[0068] The container cover 20 is a member combined with the container inlet 12 of the container body 10 , and a portion facing the container inlet 12 is open. The container cover 20 has a cylindrical shape corresponding to the shape of the container inlet 12 .
[0069] For example, the container cover 20 may include: a main body portion 26 , which is in close contact with the upper end of the container inlet 12 ; and a side wall portion 25 , which extends downward from the main body portion 26 and is combined with the container inlet 12 .
[0070] The main body 26 is a portion that is in close contact with the upper end of the container inlet 12 , and can have various shapes according to the external structure of the container cover 20 , for example, a circular plate shape can be adopted.
[0071] In addition, the container cover 20 includes an inner ring 100 , also called a ring gasket, which protrudes from the bottom surface of the main body 26 and is inserted into the inner circumference of the container inlet 12 in order to improve the sealing force of the container body 10 .
[0072] The inner ring 100 is a portion protruding from the bottom surface of the main body 26 and inserted into the inner circumference of the container inlet 12 in order to improve the sealing force of the container body 10 , and can adopt various structures according to the contact structure with the container inlet 12 .
[0073] The side wall portion 25 is a member extending downward from the main body portion 26 and coupled to the container inlet 12 . Various structures may be adopted depending on the coupling structure with the container inlet 12 .
[0074] For example, the side wall portion 25 is coupled to the container inlet 12 in a screw-coupled structure, wherein the side wall portion 25 may include a nut portion 24 screw-coupled to a bolt portion 14 formed on an outer circumferential surface of the container inlet 12 .
[0075] Furthermore, for the combination with the container inlet 12, according to the embodiment, a snap-on combination structure (eg, a one-piece and two-piece one-touch cover and an undercut cover structure) may be used.
[0076] The outer peripheral surface of the container inlet 12 forms one or more annular coupling protrusions, and the inner surface of the side wall portion 25 forms an annular coupling groove for inserting the coupling protrusions of the container inlet 12, so that the container cover 20 can be coupled to the container inlet 12.
[0077] In addition, the container cover 20 of the present invention may be formed with a plurality of close contact portions that come into close contact with the container inlet 12 through relatively close contact with the container inlet 12 .
[0078] Furthermore, the close contact portion forms a closed curve surrounding the container inlet 12 in order to block external air from entering the interior of the container body 10 , and various structures may be adopted according to the formation position, formation structure and number of the close contact portion.
[0079] In addition, in the container cover 20 , a skirt 27 that is hooked and coupled to the skirt coupling protrusion 13 of the container inlet 12 is integrally formed at the lower end of the side wall 25 .
[0080] The skirt 27 is formed integrally with the lower end of the side wall 25 and is hooked and coupled to the skirt coupling protrusion 13 of the container inlet 12. It is separated from the side wall 25 when the container cover 20 is opened for the first time.
[0081] The skirt 27 may adopt various structures according to the combination structure with the skirt combination protrusion 13 .
[0082] Furthermore, in order to be easily separated from the side wall portion 25, the skirt portion 27 may be formed by connecting through a cutting line, or connected to the side wall portion 25 through a plurality of bridge portions.
[0083] In addition, an anti-separation protrusion 15 may be formed at a position on the container inlet 12 corresponding to the lower end portion of the skirt 27 to prevent the container cover 20 from being accidentally separated from the container inlet 12 .
[0084] The anti-separation protrusion 15 is a component formed at a position corresponding to the lower end portion of the skirt 27 on the container inlet 12 to prevent the container cover 20 from being accidentally separated from the container inlet 12. Preferably, it is formed more protruding than the outer peripheral surface of the side wall portion 25 of the container cover 20.
[0085] In addition, a plurality of protrusions 21 are formed on the container cover 20 along the circumferential direction so that the user can easily rotate it.
[0086] The present invention is described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments. Moreover, for the convenience of explanation, the characteristic part is taken as an example for detailed description.
[0087] Furthermore, although the present invention has been described according to various embodiments, these embodiments may be combined to implement within the scope that more than one embodiment does not conflict with each other.
[0088] -First embodiment
[0089] According to the first embodiment of the present invention, the container cover 20 is as follows: Figures 1 to 3 As shown, when the container cover 20 is combined with the container inlet 12 , in order to contact the outer circumferential surface of the inner ring 100 , one or more inner circumferential side protrusions 121 protruding toward the inner ring 100 may be formed.
[0090] The inner circumferential protrusion 121 is a portion that protrudes toward the inner ring 100 in order to contact the outer circumferential surface of the inner ring 100 , and may be formed in a ring shape in the circumferential direction based on the central axis in the longitudinal direction of the container inlet 12 .
[0091] Furthermore, preferably, in order to make the cross section of the container inlet 12 in the longitudinal direction form surface contact with the outer peripheral surface of the inner ring 100 instead of line contact, the inner peripheral side protrusion 121 forms a gentle curve.
[0092] In addition, the container cover 20 is a component similar to the aforementioned inner circumferential protrusion 121 , and when the container cover 20 is combined with the container inlet 12 , one or more inner ring protrusions protruding toward the inner circumferential surface of the container cover 20 are formed in order to contact the inner circumferential surface of the container cover 20 .
[0093] The inner ring protrusion is a component that protrudes toward the inner circumferential surface of the container cover 20 in order to contact the inner circumferential surface of the container cover 20 when the container cover 20 is combined with the container inlet 12, and forms a ring in the circumferential direction based on the central axis in the longitudinal direction of the container inlet 12.
[0094] Furthermore, preferably, in order to make the cross section in the longitudinal direction of the container inlet 12 form a surface contact with the inner circumferential surface of the container inlet 12 instead of a line contact, the inner ring protrusion forms a gentle curve.
[0095] In addition, in order to improve the sealing force of the container body 10, the container cover 20 is inserted into the groove 220 integrally formed along the circumference at the upper end of the container inlet 12. When the container cover 20 is combined with the container inlet 12, an intermediate ring 210 is formed on the bottom surface of the main body 26.
[0096] The intermediate ring 210 is a ring formed on the bottom surface of the main body 26 when the container cover 20 is combined with the container inlet 12 and is inserted into the groove 220 integrally formed along the circumference at the upper end of the container inlet 12. Various structures can be adopted according to the contact structure between the intermediate ring 210 and the groove 220.
[0097] For example, the vertical cross section of the middle ring 210 may be an inverted triangle or an inverted trapezoid. The end of the middle ring 210 may be a plane or a curved surface.
[0098] Furthermore, the groove 220 for inserting the intermediate ring 210 may be in a shape corresponding to the cross-sectional shape of the intermediate ring 210. In order to make the intermediate ring 210 fit tightly during insertion, preferably, the width of the cross-sectional shape of the intermediate ring 210 is reduced to a degree that gradually increases.
[0099] In addition, according to the size of the sealing force, more than two grooves 220 and intermediate rings 210 may be formed.
[0100] In addition, the groove 220 may be formed based on two (inner and outer) upper end portions 221 and 222 forming the upper end portion of the container inlet 12 .
[0101] Preferably, the two upper end portions 221 and 222 are inclined at the portion where the groove 220 is formed, so as to form a structure having elasticity.
[0102] Furthermore, preferably, the outer peripheral surface of at least one of the two upper end portions 221 and 222 is a curved surface.
[0103] Wherein, the container cover 20 is as follows Figure 3 As shown, an inclined surface 215 is formed to contact the outer peripheral surface curved surface of the upper end parts 221 and 222. When the container cover 20 is combined with the container inlet 12, the container cover 20 and the container inlet 12 are in close contact, that is, more than one close contact portion can be formed.
[0104] In addition, the upper end of the container inlet 12 , that is, the two upper end portions 221 , 222 are centered on the groove 220 , and the outer upper end portion 221 may be lower than the inner upper end portion 222 .
[0105] - Second embodiment
[0106] According to the second embodiment of the present invention, the container Figures 4a to 6b As shown, a sealing contact portion 330 supported by one or more contact bearing surfaces 310 , 320 of the container inlet 12 is formed on the container cover 20 .
[0107] The contact support surfaces 310 and 320 are portions that support the sealing contact portion 330 when the container cover 20 is combined with the container inlet 12 , and any structure may be adopted as long as it is a structure that can support the sealing contact portion 330 .
[0108] For example, the contact bearing surfaces 310, 320 are as follows: Figures 4a to 5c As shown, a coupling protrusion 13 may be formed on the skirt portion.
[0109] Specifically, if Figure 4b and Figure 5b As shown, the skirt joint protrusion 13 may be recessed to form an annular groove, so that when the container cover 20 is combined with the container inlet 12, the lower end portion of the sealing contact portion 330 can be inserted. The side surfaces of the groove may constitute contact bearing surfaces 310, 320.
[0110] Specifically, the grooves are formed with the contact support surfaces 310 and 320 in the form of side walls inclined downward so as to contact the lower end portion of the seal contact portion 330 , for example, the corner portion.
[0111] The contact support surface 310 may be composed of at least one of a first contact support surface 310 located on the inner side and a second contact support surface 320 located on the outer side. If one contact support surface is formed, it is preferably formed by the second contact support surface 320 located on the outer side.
[0112] In addition, various types of skirt-joining protrusions 13 can be formed according to the joining structure of the skirt 27 .
[0113] For example, the skirt 27 may be formed by extending from the lower end portion of the sealing contact portion 330 , wherein the skirt 27 passes through the groove and is combined with the skirt combining protrusion 13 .
[0114] Among them, Figure 4a and Figure 4b As shown, preferably, compared with the ring structure connected in an integral manner along the circumferential direction, the skirt 27 is formed by a plurality of skirt parts extending along the circumferential direction, and in order to be able to insert each skirt part, a plurality of through holes 340 are formed on the groove corresponding to each skirt part.
[0115] For example, if Figure 5a and Figure 5b As shown, the skirt 27 may be provided across the outer side of the skirt combining protrusion 13 .
[0116] The sealing contact portion 330 is a portion formed on the container cover 20 and supported by one or more contact support surfaces 310 and 320 of the container inlet 12 , and may have various structures depending on the contact structures of the contact support surfaces 310 and 320 .
[0117] For example, the sealing contact portion 330 can be formed at the lower end portion of the side wall portion 25, forming the lower end portion of the side wall portion 25 itself. Considering the connection structure of the aforementioned skirt 27, at the lower end portion of the side wall portion 25, a protrusion with a thickness less than the cross-sectional thickness of the side wall portion 25 is formed.
[0118] Preferably, the sealing contact portion 330 is formed to be in close contact with the inclined structure of the contact support surfaces 310 and 320 when the container cover 20 is lowered toward the container inlet 12 based on the rotation of the container cover 20.
[0119] That is, when the sealing contact portion 330 descends toward the container inlet 12 based on the rotation of the container cover 20 , it is inserted into the groove forming the contact support surfaces 310 , 320 and closely contacts the inclined structure of the contact support surfaces 310 , 320 .
[0120] In addition, when the contact support surfaces 310 , 320 are a pair, preferably, the thickness of the sealing contact portion 330 is greater than the minimum width formed by the pair of contact support surfaces 310 , 320 .
[0121] Furthermore, each corner of the cross section of the lower end portion of the sealing contact portion 330 may be a right angle.
[0122] In addition, when the sealing contact portion 330 is in close contact with the contact support surfaces 310 and 320, the sealing effect can be improved by increasing its flexibility.
[0123] For this reason, Figure 6a and Figure 6b As shown, the sealing contact portion 330 may be formed with one or more deformation grooves 331 adjacent to the contact portions that are in contact with the contact support surfaces 310 , 320 .
[0124] The deformation groove 331 is an annular groove formed along the circumferential direction at the position adjacent to the contact portion that contacts the contact support surfaces 310, 320. When the contact portion that contacts the contact support surfaces 310, 320 contacts the contact support surfaces 310, 320, it is deformed, thereby imparting flexibility and improving its sealing effect.
[0125] In addition, the upper end portion of the container inlet 12 may have the same or similar structure as that of the first embodiment.
[0126] And, if Figure 5c As shown, in addition to the same or similar structure as the first embodiment, the upper end portion of the container inlet 12 may include one or more contact rings 150, 160 extending from the lower end of the main body 26 in order to closely contact the upper end portion of the container inlet 12.
[0127] The contact rings 150 and 160 are portions extending from the lower end of the main body 26 in order to closely contact the upper end portion of the container inlet 12 and may be formed in a ring shape.
[0128] In particular, the contact rings 150 and 160 are composed of an inner ring and an outer ring so that the upper end portion of the container inlet 12 can be inserted.
[0129] -Third embodiment
[0130] In addition, regarding the sealing of the container cover 20 and the container inlet 12, when flexibility is imparted to the portions that contact each other, the sealing force of the container can be greatly improved.
[0131] Therefore, according to the container of the third embodiment of the present invention, one or more flexibility imparting grooves 231, 232, 233, 234 are formed at the container inlet 12, and pressurized contact portions 241, 242, 243, 215 are formed on the container cover 20, which are pressurized and contacted at positions corresponding to the flexibility imparting grooves 231, 232, 233, 234.
[0132] The flexibility imparting grooves 231 , 232 , 233 , 234 are grooves formed to impart flexibility to the portion where the container cover 20 and the container inlet 12 contact each other so as to improve the sealing force of the container, and can be formed as long as the portion where the container cover 20 and the container inlet 12 contact each other.
[0133] For example, if Figures 7 to 8b As shown, the flexibility imparting groove may be constituted by a flexibility imparting groove 231 formed at the upper end of the container inlet 12 .
[0134] The flexibility imparting groove 231 formed at the upper end of the container inlet 12 is an annular groove formed at the upper end of the container inlet 12 , and may also be the concave groove 220 disclosed in the first embodiment.
[0135] In particular, preferably, the flexibility imparting groove 231 formed at the upper end of the container inlet 12 is formed near the inner circumferential surface ( Figure 7 and Figure 8a ) or the outer surface ( Figure 8b ), so that when it comes into contact with the container cover 20, it can be deformed.
[0136] In addition, as another example, the flexibility imparting groove 234 formed at the upper end of the container inlet 12 is as follows: Figure 7 and Figure 8a As shown, if the upper end of the container inlet 12 is close to the inner circumferential surface, the container cover 20 forms an inclined surface 215 at a position corresponding to this, and when the container cover 20 is combined with the container inlet 12, the portion forming the flexibility imparting groove 234 is pressurized and contacted by the pressurized contact portion.
[0137] The flexibility imparting groove 231 formed at the upper end of the container inlet 12 is as shown in FIG. Figure 8b As shown, if the upper end of the container inlet 12 is close to the outer peripheral surface, the container cover 20 forms an inner inclined surface at a corresponding position, and when the container cover 20 is combined with the container inlet 12, the portion forming the flexibility imparting groove 231 is pressurized and contacted by the pressurized contact portion 241.
[0138] In addition, when forming the press contact portion 241 in the container cover 20, in addition to a simple inclined surface, Figure 8b As shown, the press contact portion 241 may also be formed on the outer ring disclosed in the second embodiment.
[0139] As another example, the flexibility imparting groove 232 is as follows Figure 8c As shown, it can be composed of a flexibility imparting groove 232 formed on the outer peripheral surface of the container inlet 12.
[0140] In order to form the flexibility imparting groove 232 pressurized by the container cover 20 , an annular flexibility imparting protrusion 230 is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the container inlet 12 , and the flexibility imparting groove 232 is formed by being recessed downward on the upper side of the flexibility imparting protrusion 230 .
[0141] Furthermore, the container cover 20 has a pressurizing contact portion 242 formed on the inner peripheral surface of the container cover 20 corresponding to the flexibility imparting groove 232 .
[0142] The pressurizing contact portion 242 is formed as an inclined surface inclined upward in order to pressurize a portion of the flexibility providing protrusion 230 where the flexibility providing groove 232 is formed as the container cover 20 is lowered when the container cover 20 is combined with the container inlet 12 .
[0143] As another example, the flexibility imparting groove 233 is as follows Figure 8d As shown, it can be composed of a flexibility imparting groove 233 formed on the outer peripheral surface of the container inlet 12, especially, formed on the skirt engaging protrusion 13.
[0144] The flexibility imparting groove 233 pressurized by the container cover 20 is formed by being recessed from the upper side to the lower side of the skirt coupling protrusion 13 to form the flexibility imparting groove 233 .
[0145] Furthermore, the container cover 20 has a pressurizing contact portion 243 formed on the side wall portion 25 of the container cover 20 corresponding to the flexibility imparting groove 233 .
[0146] The pressurizing contact portion 243 is formed as an inclined surface inclined upward in order to pressurize a portion of the skirt engaging protrusion 13 where the flexibility imparting groove 233 is formed as the container cap 20 descends when the container cap 20 is engaged with the container inlet 12 .
[0147] As mentioned above, the pressurized contact portions 241, 242, 243, 215 are portions formed on the container cover 20 and pressurized in contact at positions corresponding to the flexibility imparting grooves 231, 232, 233, 234. A variety of structures may be used as long as the portions forming the flexibility imparting grooves 231, 232, 233, 234 can be pressurized.
[0148] Specifically, preferably, considering that the container cover 20 rotates and / or descends relative to the container inlet 12, the force applied by the descent presses the portion forming the flexibility imparting grooves 231, 232, 233, 234, and the pressurized contact portions 241, 242, 243, 215 are formed as inclined surfaces.
[0149] However, as long as the pressurizing contact portions 241, 242, 243, 215 pressurize the portions forming the flexibility imparting grooves 231, 232, 233, 234 by the force applied by descent, various structures such as protrusions other than inclined surfaces may be adopted.

[0153] Specifically, the container cover 20 is Figure 7 and Figure 8a In the illustrated structure, an auxiliary inner ring 190 may be added between the upper end portion of the container inlet 12 and the inner ring 100 .
[0154] The auxiliary inner ring 190 is formed between the upper end portion of the container inlet 12 and the inner ring 100 and protrudes downward from the container cover 20 , particularly, from the bottom surface of the main body 26 .
[0155] Preferably, in order to prevent mutual interference with the inner ring 100 , the auxiliary inner ring 190 is shorter than the upper and lower lengths of the inner ring 100 .
[0156] Furthermore, preferably, the surface of the auxiliary inner ring 190 facing the upper end of the container inlet 12 is formed to be inclined, wherein the upper end of the container inlet 12 also forms an inclined surface through the pressurized contact portion 241 at the portion in contact with the auxiliary inner ring 190 .
[0157] In addition, the container inlet 12 may form an inner peripheral protrusion 121 that contacts the outer peripheral surface of the inner ring 100 as described in the first embodiment.
[0158] The container having the above structure can increase the contact area between the container cover 20 and the container inlet 12 to improve the sealing force of the container.
[0159] In addition, according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention, the container Fig.10a A variation of Fig.10b As shown, as a pressurizing contact portion 241 for pressurizing the portion where the flexibility imparting groove 234 is formed, instead of the auxiliary inner ring 190, a part of the inner ring 100 and the auxiliary inner ring 190 are formed integrally with each other to form an inclined surface.
[0160] In addition, if Fig.10a and Fig.10b In the embodiment shown, regarding the formation of the flexibility imparting groove 231 or the groove 220, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown, it can be formed by an inner upper end portion 222 and an outer upper end portion 221 , and the heights of the inner upper end portion 222 and the outer upper end portion 221 can be the same or one of them can be higher.

[0164] Fig.10c In the embodiment, the height of the outer upper end portion 221 is smaller than the height of the inner upper end portion 222.
[0165] And, according to the container of the fourth embodiment of the present invention, Fig.10d As shown, Fig.10b In a modified example, a protrusion 244 a is formed on the container cap 20 as a pressurizing contact portion for pressurizing the portion where the flexibility imparting groove 234 is formed.
[0166] In order to improve the sealing force of the container, it is preferable to relatively increase the contact portion between the upper end portion of the container inlet 12 and the container cover 20. In particular, the plurality of contact portions are preferably formed in plurality based on the path from the outside of the container to the inside of the container rather than being connected to each other.
[0167] As a first example, Fig.11a As shown, in addition to the inner ring 100 and the inner peripheral side protrusion 121 contacting the outer peripheral surface of the inner ring 100 disclosed in the first embodiment, an auxiliary inner ring 190 in close contact with the upper end portion of the container inlet 12 can also be formed on the container cover 20.
[0168] The auxiliary inner ring 190 is formed between the upper end portion of the container inlet 12 and the inner ring 100 so as to protrude downward from the container cover 20 , particularly, from the bottom surface of the main body 26 .
[0169] Preferably, in order to prevent interference with the inner ring 100 , the length of the auxiliary inner ring 190 is shorter than the upper and lower lengths of the inner ring 100 .
[0170] Also, preferably, when the container cover 20 is combined with the container inlet 12 , the auxiliary inner ring 190 contacts the upper end portion of the container inlet 12 .

[0173] In addition, in the first and second examples, instead of being located between the upper end of the container inlet 12 and the inner ring 100 , the auxiliary inner ring 190 may be located between the upper end of the container inlet 12 and the side wall portion 25 , and the corresponding components are formed symmetrically to each other.
[0174] As a third example, Fig.11c As shown, Fig.11b In the structure, the flexibility imparting groove 231 can also be formed.

[0183] According to a fifth embodiment of the present invention, the container Figures 12 to 15 As shown, the container inlet 12 forms a groove 220 in the center through the inner upper end portion 222 and the outer upper end portion 221, which can form an inner inclined surface and an outer inclined surface in which the container cover 20 contacts the inner part of the inner upper end portion 222 and the outer part of the outer upper end portion 221.
[0184] Specifically, the upper end portion of the container inlet 12 forms a groove 220 at the center through the inner upper end portion 222 and the outer upper end portion 221 .
[0185] The inner portion of the inner upper end portion 222 and the outer portion of the outer upper end portion 221 form curved surfaces and can be in close contact with the inner inclined surface and the outer inclined surface.
[0186] Furthermore, in order to facilitate deformation of the upper ends of the inner upper portion 222 and the outer upper portion 221 in the direction of reducing the width of the groove 220, that is, to facilitate deformation of the inner upper portion 222 and the outer upper portion 221 into a concave shape relative to each other, preferably, the side wall portion of the groove 220 is inclined upward.

[0199] For example, the auxiliary inner ring 190 and the outer contact ring 191 are formed to extend downward from the bottom surface of the main body 26 .
[0200] Preferably, the portions of the auxiliary inner ring 190 and the outer contact ring 191 that are in contact with the upper end portion of the container inlet 12 are curved surfaces.
[0201] Furthermore, in order to facilitate deformation of the lower ends of the auxiliary inner ring 190 and the outer contact ring 191 in the direction of reducing the width of the opposing groove 192, that is, to facilitate deformation of the auxiliary inner ring 190 and the outer contact ring 191 separately from each other, preferably, the side wall portions of the opposing grooves 192 are inclined upward.
[0202] In other words, preferably, the auxiliary inner ring 190 and the outer contact ring 191 form an inverted 'V' shape toward the lower side.
[0203] In addition, preferably, the upper end portion of the container inlet 12 is formed to be sharp so that it can be easily inserted into the facing groove 192 formed by the auxiliary inner ring 190 and the outer contact ring 191 .
[0204] Furthermore, in order to facilitate insertion into the facing groove 192 , preferably, the upper end portion of the container inlet 12 forms inclined surfaces 193 , 194 that expand inwardly and outwardly with the uppermost end as a reference.
[0205] In addition, the container shown in FIG. 6 is Fig.15 The modification example of the container shown shows an example having the above-mentioned cutting portion 170.
