Detailed Implementation
[0028] The present application will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, so that those skilled in the art can better understand and implement the present application, but the embodiments are not intended to limit the present application.
[0029] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 These are, respectively, a perspective view of the container of this application and an exploded perspective view of the push-button opening and closing lid. This application provides a push-button opening and closing lid and its container, the container including a box body A and a push-button opening and closing lid B covering the box body A; wherein:
[0030] The push-to-open lid B is used to cover the aforementioned box A and includes a lid body 1, a push-button member 2, and a lifting member 3. The lid body 1 has a ring-shaped side portion 10 and a covering portion 10a surrounded by the side portion 10. The lid body 10 can be installed at the opening of the box A, and its shape can be matched to the opening shape of the box A. A sealing ring 11 can be sleeved on the side portion 10 so that when the push-to-open lid B is closed on the box A, the sealing ring 11 makes tight contact with the box A to achieve a sealing effect (i.e., as shown). Figure 3 (As shown). Furthermore, the side portion 10 and the cover portion 10a surround to form a pressing space 100. On one side of the pressing space 100, there is at least one multi-segment portion 12 that is linked to the pressing member 2, and a pivot portion 13 for pivoting the cover member 3. On the opposite side of the pressing space 100, there is an opening 101, and the pivot portion 13 is located between the multi-segment portion 12 and the opening 101. In the embodiment described in this application, the cover portion 10a can extend toward the opening 101 to form a higher opening portion 10b, and the opening 101 is located on the opening portion 10b.
[0031] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the aforementioned multi-segment portion 12 may have an upright seat arm 120 and a plurality of segment edges 121, 122 disposed on the seat arm 120 in a vertical direction; in the embodiments described in this application, the segment edges may be divided into a first segment 121 and a second segment 122. Furthermore, the aforementioned pivot portion 13 may be disposed on the inner wall of the side portion 10; in the embodiments described in this application, the pivot portion 13 may be two protruding shafts respectively disposed on two opposing inner walls within the side portion 10 (e.g., Figure 2 As shown), it can also be a shaft connected between two opposing inner walls within the side 10 (figure omitted).
[0032] Please see again Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the pressing member 2 is located in the pressing space 100 of the cover 1, while the lifting member 3 corresponds to the opening 101 of the cover 1. The pressing member 2 has a pressing part 20, and at least one positioning part 21 and at least one toothed part 22 provided under the pressing part 20. The lifting member 3 has a cover part 30, and at least one toothed pivot part 31 provided under the cover part 30. A sealing edge 32 may be provided under the cover part 30 at the opening 101 of the cover 1, and a sealing ring 300 may be further provided on the sealing edge 32. Furthermore, a support wall 301 may be provided on the side of the cover 30 opposite to the pressing member 2, so that the toothed pivot 31 can be provided on the support wall 301. The toothed pivot 31 has a pivot edge 310 and is pivotally connected to the pivot part 13 inside the cover body 1. The toothed pivot 31 also has an arc-shaped tooth 311 facing the pressing member 2, and the rack part 22 of the pressing member 2 has a tooth surface 220 extending in the vertical direction, so that the arc-shaped tooth 311 can mesh with the tooth surface 220 of the rack part 22 (i.e., as shown). Figure 3 (as shown); in the embodiments described in this application, the tooth pivot 31 may have a frame portion 311a composed of geometric shapes, and the aforementioned pivot edge 310 and the arc-shaped tooth portion 311 are connected to form an integral unit.
[0033] like Figure 4 As shown, the positioning part 21 of the pressing member 2 is movably engaged with the multi-segment part 12 of the cover 1, and a segment edge 121, 122 is selected for positioning according to the state of the pressing member 2 being pressed by hand; in the embodiment of this application, the positioning part 21 may have a hook-shaped positioning edge 210, which can cooperate with the upper and lower positions of the pressing member 2 being pressed by hand, and be engaged with the first segment 121 or the second segment 122, so that the pressing member 2 can be maintained at the height position of the first segment 121 or the second segment 122. Further, as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, a baffle 200 may be provided on the periphery of the pressing part 20 of the pressing member 2. The baffle 200 is fitted to the inner surface of the side part 10, so that the pressing member 2 can move along the inner surface of the side part 10 during the pressing process, which can improve the stability of the pressing member 2 during the aforementioned operation process.
[0034] Therefore, by means of the above-described structure, the press-type opening and closing cap and its container of this application can be obtained.
[0035] Accordingly, Figure 5 As shown, when a person presses down the aforementioned pressing member 2, the toothed surface 220 of its rack portion 22 engages with the arc-shaped toothed portion 311 of the toothed pivot portion 31, forcing the toothed pivot portion 31 to rotate with the pivot portion 13 and flip the lid member 3 upward, thereby causing the sealing edge 32 of the lid member 3 to leave the opening 101 of the lid body 1, so that the edible food (such as grains, granular candies, or chewing gum) loaded in the box body A can be poured out through the opening 101. At the same time, as Figure 6 As shown, when the pressing member 2 is pressed down by a person, the positioning edge 210 of its positioning part 21 will bounce from the first segment 121 of the multi-segment part 12 to the second segment 122. Therefore, the pressing member 2 can also be positioned at the height of the second segment 122, so that the flip cover 3 maintains the open opening 101 state, that is, as Figure 7 As shown.
[0036] Conversely, to close the aforementioned flip cover 3, one only needs to press the cover portion 30 of the flip cover 3 downwards by hand; at this time, the flip cover 3, through the pivotal connection between the pivot edge 310 of the toothed pivot portion 31 and the pivot portion 13, allows the flip cover 3 to simultaneously drive the tooth surface 220 of the rack portion 22 via the arc-shaped toothed portion 311 when closing downwards, thereby pushing the pressing member 2 upwards, and causing the positioning edge 210 of the positioning portion 21 to bounce from the second segment 122 to the first segment 121 due to the upward movement (i.e., returning to the position as described above). Figure 4 (as shown in the image), thereby closing the cover 3 (i.e., as shown in the image). Figure 3 (As shown).
[0037] Therefore, with the press-type opening and closing lid and its container of this application, the pressing member 2 or the lifting member 3 can be pressed by the fingers of a human hand, so that the press-type opening and closing lid B can be opened or closed on the box body A through such a simple operation, thereby making it convenient to take out the food in the box body A.
[0038] The embodiments described above are merely preferred embodiments for the purpose of fully illustrating this application, and the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art based on this application are all within the scope of protection of this application. The scope of protection of this application is determined by the claims.
