Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an aromatherapy liquid container, and more specifically, the aromatherapy liquid container of the present invention can prevent children from opening the container by mistake while allowing the aromatherapy liquid to volatilize, and can prevent the aromatherapy liquid from leaking out. Background Art

[0002] Aromatherapy liquid is a daily necessity commonly used in the office and at home, which can improve the air quality and make the body and mind happy. Usually, the aromatherapy liquid is carried in an open container, and contacts with a carrier (such as rattan, grass flowers, cotton rope, etc.) inserted through the bottle mouth. The liquid is transported to the end of the carrier outside the bottle by the wicking action of the carrier, and finally diffuses into the surrounding air by evaporation or volatilization, making the air fragrant.

[0003] Most aromatherapy liquid containers sold on the market have a simple structure. After a carrier (such as an aromatherapy stick) is inserted for activation, the opening is kept open and is no longer closed. In this case, although the open opening is conducive to the insertion and replacement of the carrier of the aromatherapy stick, once the container is accidentally turned over, the aromatherapy liquid will flow out, causing waste and pollution, and the overly strong smell will also irritate the human body. In addition, in some cases, the opening of the aromatherapy liquid container is closed by a cover, but the cover is easily opened by children or easily falls off under the action of external forces such as bumps, causing the aromatherapy liquid to leak out, which in turn causes safety hazards such as accidental ingestion and misuse by children. And this will also cause the problem of waste and pollution of the aromatherapy liquid. Summary of the invention

The above terms are used for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the present disclosure.

[0028] In addition, it should be noted that the use of terms such as “first” and “second” to define components is merely to facilitate the distinction between corresponding components and is not intended to limit the present invention.

[0029] Figure 1 and Figure 2 The first embodiment of the aromatherapy liquid container according to the present invention is shown. The aromatherapy liquid container generally comprises a bottle body 1 for containing aromatherapy liquid, an outer cover 2 and a safety inner cover 3. The bottle body 1 is provided with a neck, and a bottle mouth 8 is provided at the end of the neck. On the neck of the bottle body 1, a recessed card groove 5 is provided at a distance from the bottle mouth 8. An external thread 7 is provided on the neck of the bottle body 1 below the card groove 5. An internal thread matching the external thread 7 is provided on the inner surface of the outer cover 2. When the aromatherapy bottle is not in use (i.e., the aromatherapy liquid is not volatilized), the outer cover 2 can be threadedly engaged with the bottle body 1, such as Figure 2 As shown. At this time, the outer cover 2 completely covers the safety inner cover 3 on the outside, keeping the appearance of the aromatherapy bottle simple and beautiful. When the aromatherapy bottle is used to volatilize the aromatherapy liquid, the outer cover 2 can be unscrewed from the bottle body 1 to expose the safety inner cover 3. Preferably, when the outer cover 2 is not threadedly connected to the bottle body 1, it can be connected to the bottle body 1 through another connecting member such as a tether, or attached to the bottle body 1 by inserting into a receiving portion provided on the bottle body 1, so as to avoid the loss of the outer cover 2 or other problems related to storage, and facilitate the reuse of the aromatherapy bottle.

[0030] The safety inner cover 3 can be in the form of a resilient plug, which can be made of an elastomeric material such as rubber. Figure 4 The safety inner cover 3 has an upper cover portion 301 and a circumferentially extending skirt portion 302. The inner surface of the skirt portion 302 of the safety inner cover 3 is provided with a protrusion, which can be snap-fitted with the slot 5 provided on the neck of the bottle body 1, so that the safety inner cover 3 can be tightly covered on the bottle mouth of the bottle body 1 in a liquid-tight and sealed manner.

[0031] The upper cover portion 301 of the safety inner cover 3 is provided with an aromatherapy stick insertion portion, so that the aromatherapy stick as a carrier can be inserted into the interior of the bottle body 1 through the aromatherapy stick insertion portion, and then contact the aromatherapy liquid contained in the bottle body 1. In the illustrated embodiment, the aromatherapy stick insertion portion is in the form of a plurality of insertion holes 4. Before the aromatherapy stick is inserted, the insertion holes 4 are in a generally closed state. When the aromatherapy stick is inserted, the insertion holes 4 will expand slightly as the aromatherapy stick is inserted through the safety inner cover, especially due to the elastic properties of the safety inner cover, and at least a portion of the hole wall thereof is tightly fitted with the aromatherapy stick.

[0032] In an advantageous example of the present invention, the insertion hole 4 can be configured as a through hole. Optionally, the insertion portion of the aromatherapy stick can be covered by a sealing sheet to prevent the aromatherapy liquid from leaking through the insertion hole 4. When in use, the sealing sheet can be punctured or removed first, and then the aromatherapy stick is inserted. The sealing sheet can be in the form of a film, for example. Preferably, the sealing sheet is provided with an indentation or mark corresponding to the position of the insertion hole 4, so that it can be easily punctured.

[0033] See also Figure 3 In another useful example of the present invention, a sheet made of a flexible material is provided in the opening of the insertion hole 4, which can cover the opening of the insertion hole 4. The sheet has a plurality of slits 9, which divide the sheet into a plurality of fan-shaped petals. Before the aromatherapy stick is inserted, the petals are closely connected and together close the insertion hole; when the aromatherapy stick is inserted, the petals are separated from each other along the slits 9, bent toward the bottle body, allowing the aromatherapy stick to pass through, and abutting against the aromatherapy stick.

[0034] Preferably, the diameter of the insertion hole 4 is smaller than the diameter of the aromatherapy stick, so that when the aromatherapy stick is inserted, the insertion hole 4 is tightly attached to the aromatherapy stick.

[0035] Preferably, if Figure 4 As shown, the direction in which the insertion hole 4 extends in the thickness of the upper cover portion 301 of the safety inner cover 3 forms an angle with respect to the longitudinal direction of the bottle body. The angles formed by each insertion hole 4 with respect to the longitudinal direction can be the same or different as needed.

[0036] In a beneficial example of the present invention, the insertion hole 4 is configured as a blind hole, and when the aromatherapy stick is inserted, the insertion hole is through.

[0037] In a useful example of the present invention, the aromatherapy stick insertion portion may not be provided with a plug hole, and the user may use an awl or a drill or any other suitable tool to form a plug hole 4 for inserting the aromatherapy stick in the aromatherapy stick insertion portion when the aromatherapy stick is used. In addition, notches, material thinning portions, etc. may also be provided at appropriate positions of the aromatherapy stick insertion portion to facilitate the user to form the plug hole 4 there.

[0038] In order to prevent the aromatherapy liquid in the aromatherapy bottle from volatilizing and / or leaking during transportation and storage, an anti-evaporation gasket 6 is provided on the upper cover portion of the safety inner cover 3. In one example, the anti-evaporation gasket 6 can be sealed and fixed on the upper cover portion 301 of the safety inner cover 3 and needs to be torn off before use. In another example, when the outer cover 2 is covered on the bottle body 1, the outer cover 2 can force the anti-evaporation gasket 6 to press tightly against the safety inner cover 3.

[0039] According to the aromatherapy liquid container of the first embodiment of the present invention, before use, the outer cover 2 and the safety inner cover 3 are tightly connected to the bottle body 1, so that even if the bottle body 1 falls over, the aromatherapy liquid will not flow out; when in use, the safety inner cover 3 is exposed, and since the protrusion of the safety inner cover 3 and the card slot 5 are engaged with each other, a large finger force is required to separate the two, so such a structure can effectively prevent children from accidentally opening the safety inner cover 3; in addition, since the insertion hole 4 is roughly closed before the aromatherapy stick is inserted, and the insertion hole 4 is tightly connected to the aromatherapy stick after the aromatherapy stick is inserted, no matter when, even if the bottle body 1 accidentally falls over, the aromatherapy liquid cannot leak out.

[0040] Figures 5 to 8The second embodiment of the aromatherapy liquid container according to the present invention is shown. The aromatherapy liquid container according to the second embodiment of the present invention comprises a bottle body 11 for containing aromatherapy liquid, wherein the bottle body 11 is provided with a neck, and the end of the neck is provided with a bottle mouth. An external thread 17 is provided on the outer surface of the neck.

[0041] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the integral spin-on outer cap assembly 12 can be detachably connected to the bottle mouth of the bottle body 11. The outer cap assembly 12 includes a first cap member 121 (see Figure 7 ) and the second cover member 122 (see Figure 8 ). In use, the first cover member 121 is sleeved on the outside of the second cover member 122. Both the first cover member 121 and the second cover member 122 have an upper cover portion and a circumferentially extending skirt portion, and the upper cover portions of the first cover member 121 and the second cover member 122 are respectively provided with central through holes aligned with each other. The inner surface of the skirt portion of the second cover member 122 is provided with an internal thread matching the external thread 17 on the neck of the bottle body 11, so that the second cover member 122 can be threadedly connected to the bottle body 11.

[0042] Further references Figure 7 and Figure 8 , one or more protruding snap-on portions 18 are provided on the inner surface of the upper cover portion of the first cover member 121, and a recess 19 is correspondingly provided on the outer surface of the upper cover portion of the second cover member 122, and the snap-on portions 18 can match the recess 19. The first cover member 121 is configured to be able to rotate relative to the second cover member 122 and move in the longitudinal direction when not engaged with the second cover member 122. When the first cover member 121 is rotated relative to the second cover member 122 so that the snap-on portions 18 correspond to the positions of the recess 19, the first cover member 121 can move downward in the longitudinal direction, so that the snap-on portions 18 are embedded in the recess 19, and the first cover member 121 is engaged with the second cover member 122, and enters an engaged state. By further rotating the first cover member 121 while keeping the first cover member 121 and the second cover member 122 engaged, the first cover member 121 can drive the second cover member 122 to rotate together, so that the outer cover assembly 12 can engage with or disengage from the bottle body 11 through the threaded connection between the internal thread on the second cover member 122 and the external thread 17 on the bottle body 11.

[0043] It will be understood by those skilled in the art that, although not shown in the present invention, the protruding snap-fit ​​portion 18 can also be provided on the outer surface of the upper cover portion of the second cover member 122, while the recessed portion 19 can be correspondingly provided on the inner surface of the upper cover portion of the first cover member 121. Other snap-fit ​​features can also be used. In addition, various snap-fit ​​features can also be provided on the surfaces of the skirts of the first cover member 121 and the second cover member 122 as required.

[0044] Furthermore, in one example of the present invention, the first cover member 121 and the second cover member 122 can be positioned at a distance from each other, and under the action of a longitudinal external force, the first cover member 121 can move toward the second cover member 122. This can be achieved, for example, by an elastic member disposed therebetween.

[0045] A safety inner cover 13 is provided at the mouth of the bottle body 11, which can be made of an elastomeric material such as silicone, rubber, etc., and is tightly fitted to the mouth of the bottle body 11 in a liquid-tight manner. In the illustrated embodiment, the safety inner cover 13 is in the form of a U-shaped plug, and its circumferential flange covers the edge of the bottle mouth.

[0046] Similar to the safety inner cover 3 of the first embodiment, the safety inner cover 13 is also provided with an aromatherapy stick insertion portion, so that the aromatherapy stick as a carrier can be inserted into the interior of the bottle body 11 through the aromatherapy stick insertion portion, and then contact the aromatherapy liquid contained in the bottle body 11. The position of the aromatherapy stick insertion portion corresponds to the central through hole on the upper cover portion of the first cover member 121 and the second cover member 122. In the illustrated embodiment, the aromatherapy stick insertion portion includes a plurality of sockets 14. The structure of the aromatherapy stick insertion portion and the socket 14 is substantially the same as the structure of the aromatherapy stick insertion portion and the socket 4 in the first embodiment, and the same features will not be described repeatedly here.

[0047] Preferably, the diameter of the jack 14 is 0.5 mm to 5 mm, and the number is 2 to 20. More preferably, the diameter of the jack 14 is less than or equal to 1.5 mm, and the number is 3 to 8. In the most preferred embodiment, the diameter of the jack 14 is less than 1.5 mm.

[0048] In order to prevent the aromatherapy liquid in the aromatherapy bottle from volatilizing and / or leaking through the insertion hole 14 during transportation and storage, an anti-evaporation gasket 16 is provided above the safety inner cover 13. When the second cover member 122 of the outer cover assembly 12 is covered on the bottle mouth, the inner surface of the upper cover portion of the second cover member 122 presses the anti-evaporation gasket 16 against the safety inner cover 13.

[0049] According to the aromatherapy liquid container of the second embodiment of the present invention, before use, the buckle portion 18 is separated from the recess 19, and the outer cover assembly 12 cannot be separated from the bottle body 11. The outer cover assembly 12 can be rotated as a whole and removed only when force is applied to keep the buckle portion 18 and the recess 19 engaged with each other. Since such an opening step requires more delicate hand movements, it can effectively prevent children from accidentally opening the outer cover assembly 12 and causing the aromatherapy liquid to leak out. In addition, after removing the outer cover assembly 12, the anti-volatile gasket 16 is removed to expose the safety inner cover 13. After that, the outer cover assembly 12 is covered on the bottle body 11 again, and the aromatherapy stick can be inserted through the through holes on the first cover member 121 and the second cover member 122 and the socket 14 of the aromatherapy stick insertion portion to start using it. Since the socket 14 fits tightly with the aromatherapy stick, even if the bottle body 11 accidentally overturns during use, the aromatherapy liquid cannot leak out.

[0050] Figures 9 and 10 The third embodiment of the aromatherapy liquid container according to the present invention is shown. The aromatherapy liquid container according to the third embodiment of the present invention comprises a bottle body 21 for containing aromatherapy liquid, an outer cover 22 and a safety inner cover 23. The bottle body 21 is provided with a neck, and a bottle mouth 28 is provided at the end of the neck. The bottle mouth 28 is provided with a circumferential flange 25.

[0051] The safety inner cover 23 can be made of an elastomeric material such as rubber, and generally includes an upper cover portion 231 and a plunger portion 232. The plunger portion 232 can extend into the bottle mouth 28 of the bottle body 21 and fit tightly with the inner wall of the bottle mouth 28 in a liquid-tight and sealed manner. The upper cover portion 231 is in the form of a platform, which is positioned above the plunger portion 232, and its diameter is larger than the diameter of the plunger portion 232. In the assembled state, the lower surface of the upper cover portion 231 fits tightly against the upper surface of the flange 25. According to the construction of the present invention, the upper cover portion 231 can better fix the safety inner cover 23 to the bottle mouth 28 of the bottle body 21, and the plunger portion 232 can be used to seal the bottle mouth 28.

[0052] The outer cover 22 includes an upper cover portion 221 and a circumferentially extending skirt portion 222. The upper cover portion 221 of the outer cover 22 is provided with a central through hole 223. The inner surface of the skirt portion 222 of the outer cover 22 is provided with a protrusion, which can be engaged under the flange 25 of the bottle body 21, so that the outer cover 22 is covered on the bottle mouth 28 of the bottle body 21. In the covered state, the upper cover portion 221 of the outer cover 22 is tightly fitted on the upper surface of the upper cover portion 231 of the safety inner cover 23, and the safety inner cover 23 is exposed through the through hole 223; the skirt portion 222 covers the safety inner cover 23 and all sides of the flange 25 of the bottle body 21, so as to further seal the gap between the safety inner cover 23 and the bottle body 21.

[0053] Preferably, the outer cover is an integrally formed unitary part. Preferably, the outer cover 22 is made of a metal sheet such as aluminum foil.

[0054] The safety inner cover 23 is provided with an aromatherapy stick insertion portion at a position corresponding to the through hole 223, so that the aromatherapy stick as a carrier can be inserted into the interior of the bottle body 21 through the aromatherapy stick insertion portion, and then contact the aromatherapy liquid contained in the bottle body 1. In the illustrated embodiment, the aromatherapy stick insertion portion includes a plurality of insertion holes 24. The structure of the aromatherapy stick insertion portion and the insertion holes 24 can be substantially the same as the structure of the aromatherapy stick insertion portion and the insertion holes 4 in the first embodiment, and the same features will not be described repeatedly here.

[0055] Preferably, the insertion hole 24 is configured as a blind hole and can be punctured before use, thereby allowing the aromatherapy stick to be inserted into the bottle body 21 through the safety inner cover 23 .

[0056] Preferably, the plunger portion 232 is a hollow structure, and a blind hole is provided on the upper cover portion 231 at a position corresponding to the hollow portion of the plunger portion 232 to facilitate piercing of the blind hole.

[0057] Preferably, when the insertion hole 24 is configured as a through hole, a pierceable sealing sheet is additionally provided to cover the insertion portion of the aromatherapy stick to prevent the aromatherapy liquid from leaking out when not in use.

[0058] Preferably, the safety inner cover 23 is an integrally formed unitary part.

[0059] Preferably, an awl, a needle or other device that can be used to pierce the blind hole and / or the sealing sheet can be connected to the bottle body 21 to facilitate the use of the aromatherapy liquid container.

[0060] See attached Fig.11 In another example, the central through hole 223 in the upper cover portion 221 of the outer cover 22 can be initially sealed by a cover sheet 224. The cover sheet 224 is connected to the periphery of the central through hole 223 by a breakable connection, and a pull ring 225 is provided on its upper surface. When in use, the user can remove the cover sheet 224 by pulling the pull ring 225 to expose the central through hole 223, and then expose the safety inner cover 23.

[0061] According to the aromatherapy liquid container of the third embodiment of the present invention, since the outer cover 22 is tightly wrapped around the safety inner cover 23 and the outside of the bottle mouth flange 25, children will not be able to remove the outer cover 22 from the bottle body 21 to cause danger. When in use, the user only needs to conveniently use the attached awl or any other suitable device to penetrate the insertion hole 24, and then insert the aromatherapy stick into the bottle body 21 to start using it. Since the insertion hole 24 is designed to fit tightly with the aromatherapy stick, even if the bottle body 21 accidentally falls over during use, the aromatherapy liquid will not leak out.

[0062] Figures 12 to 15The fourth embodiment of the aromatherapy liquid container according to the present invention is shown. The aromatherapy liquid container according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention comprises a bottle body 31 for containing aromatherapy liquid. The bottle body 31 is provided with a neck, and a bottle mouth 38 is provided at the end of the neck. An external thread 37 is also provided on the neck of the bottle body 31. The bottle mouth 38 of the bottle body 31 is sealed by a component including an outer cover 32, an inner cover 33 and an intermediate cover 34.

[0063] The upper cover portion of the inner cover 33 is provided with a central through hole 331 , and the inner surface of the circumferentially extending skirt portion thereof is provided with an internal thread matching the external thread 37 on the neck of the bottle body 31 , so that the inner cover 33 can be threadedly connected to the bottle body 31 .

[0064] The intermediate cover 34 can be positioned above the upper cover portion of the inner cover 33 in a liquid-tight manner and cover the central through hole 331 thereof. Fig.13 and Fig.14 The detailed structure of the intermediate cover 34 is specifically shown. The intermediate cover 34 has a main body that is roughly disc-shaped, and the sealing portion 341 extends radially outward from the lower surface of the main body, thereby forming a card slot 342 with the lower surface of the main body. The intermediate cover 34 can be made of an elastomeric material such as silicone, rubber, etc. During assembly, the intermediate cover 34 is pushed toward the inner cover 33 with force, so that the sealing portion 341 extends into the inner cover 33 through the through hole 331 of the inner cover 33, and the card slot 342 is snap-fitted with the edge of the through hole 331, so that the intermediate cover 34 is tightly mounted on the upper cover portion of the inner cover 33. The edge of the intermediate cover 34 is circumferentially provided with a mounting groove 346, which can allow the snap-fit ​​tab 332 on the inner cover 33, which will be described in more detail below, to pass through it, thereby limiting the relative rotation between the inner cover 33 and the intermediate cover 34. In addition, the middle cover 34 is further provided with a covering portion 345 extending downward from the edge of the disc-shaped body, and its lower end flange 347 can be positioned in a conforming fit in the groove 334 of the upper portion of the inner cover 33 to further fix the middle cover 34 to the inner cover 33. Since the covering portion 345 covers the outer edge of the upper cover portion of the inner cover 33, a better seal can be effectively obtained.

[0065] The middle cover 34 also includes an aromatherapy stick insertion portion. A central through hole aligned with the central through hole 331 is provided on the upper cover portion of the outer cover 32, and when installed, the aromatherapy stick insertion portion can be exposed through the central through hole. The aromatherapy stick insertion portion includes a plurality of plug holes 344. The structure of the aromatherapy stick insertion portion and the plug holes 344 can be substantially the same as the structure of the aromatherapy stick insertion portion and the plug hole 4 in the first embodiment, and the same features will not be repeated here.

[0066] Preferably, when the insertion hole 344 is configured as a through hole, a pierceable sealing sheet is additionally provided to cover the insertion portion of the aromatherapy stick to prevent the aromatherapy liquid from leaking out.

[0067] exist Fig.13 and Fig.14 In the example shown, the insertion hole 344 is configured as a pierceable blind hole. The figure also shows a cross notch provided at the bottom of the blind hole, which can facilitate the aromatherapy stick to easily pierce the blind hole.

[0068] A snap-fitting tab 332 is provided at the upper cover portion of the inner cover 33, and a snap-fitting protrusion 333 is provided on the outer surface of the skirt portion extending in the circumferential direction at the lower end of the inner cover 33. Fig.15 As shown, a boss 321 is provided on the inner surface of the upper cover portion of the outer cover 32 , and a bayonet 322 matching with the engaging protrusion 333 on the inner cover 33 is provided at the bottom of the inner surface of the circumferentially extending skirt portion of the outer cover 32 .

[0069] During assembly, the inner cover 33 is sleeved inside the outer cover 32, and the outer cover 32 can rotate and move in the longitudinal direction relative to the inner cover 33. The inner cover 33 and the outer cover 32 are configured to be a distance apart from each other in the longitudinal direction when not in use. At this time, the outer cover 32 moves independently of the inner cover 33. When the outer cover 32 is pressed down by force, the outer cover 32 approaches the inner cover 33. When the outer cover 32 is rotated relative to the inner cover 33 so that the engaging tab 332 of the inner cover 33 abuts against the boss 321 of the outer cover 32, and the engaging protrusion 333 of the inner cover 33 engages with the bayonet 322 of the outer cover 32, the inner cover 33 can be rotated together with the outer cover 32, so that the inner cover 33 is threadedly connected or disengaged from the bottle mouth 38.

[0070] It will be understood by those skilled in the art that, although not shown in the present invention, the engagement of the inner cover 33 with the outer cover 32 can be achieved by various other engagement features. In addition, the engagement of the engagement tab 332 of the inner cover 33 with the boss 321 of the outer cover 32 and the engagement of the engagement protrusion 333 of the inner cover 33 with the bayonet 322 of the outer cover 32 do not necessarily exist at the same time, but only one set is required.

[0071] According to the aromatherapy liquid container of the fourth embodiment of the present invention, before use, the inner cover 33 and the outer cover 32 are separated from each other, and the inner cover 33 cannot be separated from the bottle body 31. Only when the force is applied to keep the engaging tabs 332 and the engaging protrusions 333 of the inner cover 33 engaged with the bosses 321 and the bayonet 322 of the outer cover 32, can the inner cover 33 and the outer cover 32 be rotated as a whole, so that the inner cover 33 is separated from the bottle body 31. Since such an opening step requires a more delicate hand movement, it can effectively prevent children from accidentally opening the inner cover 33 and causing the aromatherapy liquid to leak out. In addition, when using, the user only needs to use the attached awl or any other suitable device to penetrate the socket 344, and the aromatherapy stick can be inserted into the bottle body 31 and start using it. Since the socket 344 is designed to fit tightly with the aromatherapy stick, even if the bottle body 31 accidentally falls over during use, the aromatherapy liquid cannot leak out.

[0072] It will be understood by those skilled in the art that, although the present disclosure discusses the specific embodiments of the present invention with respect to aromatherapy liquid, the container and sealing device disclosed in the present invention can be used for various substances that are transported and distributed by wicking action, especially evaporative volatile substances including fragrances and / or active agents. In addition, in addition to liquid substances, the present invention can also be specifically used for gel-like substances or other suitable substances to be distributed.

[0073] Those skilled in the art will also understand that although the present disclosure discusses specific embodiments of the present invention with respect to aromatherapy sticks, any wicking member that can utilize capillary action to transport the substance to be dispensed, such as cotton ropes, wick tubes, fiber sticks, rattan, etc., can also be used.

[0074] It should be understood by those skilled in the art that only the structures considered necessary for explaining the container are described herein. In addition, although several examples of aromatherapy liquid containers are described above, all features contained in the above description or shown in the drawings are intended to be interpreted as illustrative rather than restrictive, and those skilled in the art may implement various design changes without departing from the scope defined in the claims without departing from the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.
