Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a bottle, and more specifically, to a bottle with an ice stopper that functions as a packing to prevent stored ice from spilling out. [Background technology]

[0002] A known conventional bottle has a configuration shown in Fig. 9. This bottle 1 comprises an inner bottle 2 made of polypropylene, a polypropylene stopper 4 screwed onto an upper opening 3 of the inner bottle 2, a stainless steel outer bottle 5 screwed onto the stopper 4 and positioned outside the inner bottle 2, and a polypropylene lid 6 screwed onto the upper end of the stopper 4 (see Patent Document 1).

[0003] As shown in Fig. 9, the plug 4 is integrally formed with an inner lid 7, and the inner lid 7 has a number of small holes 8. The inner lid 7 thus constructed acts as an ice stopper, allowing the stored liquid to escape but preventing the ice from escaping. In addition, a ring-shaped packing (not shown) is attached to the bottom of the lid 6, and the presence of the packing provides a watertight structure that prevents liquid from leaking. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Utility Model Registration No. 3242749 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] In this conventional bottle 1, the inner lid 7, which acts as an ice stopper, is formed integrally with the stopper body 4, and therefore has the disadvantage that the inner lid 7 cannot be removed separately for cleaning.

[0006] Furthermore, the bottle 1 of the conventional example has a lid 6 which is a separate member from the stopper 4, and a packing is attached to the bottom of the lid 6 to maintain a watertight structure. In other words, there are two members, the stopper 4 provided with the inner lid 7 (ice stopper) and the lid 6 to which the packing is attached, which results in a problem of increased manufacturing costs.

[0007] Therefore, in the conventional bottle 1, there are problems that must be solved: making the inner lid 7, which acts as an ice stopper, easily removable for cleaning, and integrating the functions of ice stopper and gasket into a single component to reduce manufacturing costs. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] The gist of the present invention for solving the problems of the conventional example is a bottle consisting of a metal, cylindrical container body with a bottom that narrows at the top, a packing / ice stopping member placed near the opening of the container body, and a synthetic resin lid that screws onto the opening of the container body, wherein the container body has a step along its inner circumference near the opening to receive the packing / ice stopping member when it is placed thereon, the packing / ice stopping member is made of rubber, is formed in a circular shape and has a number of small holes, the lid has a ring-shaped bottom, and when the lid is screwed onto the opening of the container body, the ring-shaped bottom is pressed against the packing / ice stopping member, and the packing / ice stopping member fits tightly against the step, maintaining a watertight structure that prevents liquid from leaking.

[0009] The container body is made of metal or stainless steel, the packing and ice-stopping member is made of rubber or silicone rubber, and the lid is made of synthetic resin or polypropylene resin; The packing and ice stopper member is provided at its upper portion with a gripping portion for lifting it up with fingers for removal; The lid has an arched handle at its upper portion, and a concave recess is formed at the lower portion of the handle; It includes. Effect of the Invention

[0010] According to the bottle of the present invention, by placing the packing and ice-stopping member on the step of the container body and screwing the lid to the opening of the container body, the ring-shaped bottom is pressed along the packing and ice-stopping member. Furthermore, since the packing and ice-stopping member is in close contact with the step, a watertight structure that does not leak liquid is maintained. Unlike the conventional two-part structure consisting of an ice stopper and a gasket, this structure is integrated into a single part that doubles as a gasket and ice stopper, thereby reducing the number of parts and manufacturing costs. The packing and ice-stopping member can be removed and washed. Furthermore, since no packing is attached to the lid as in the conventional example, various excellent effects are achieved, such as the lid being easy to clean.

[0011] The container body is made of metal or even stainless steel, the packing / ice-stopping member is made of rubber or even silicone rubber, and the lid is made of synthetic resin or even polypropylene resin, and particularly when the packing / ice-stopping member is made of silicone rubber, it has the excellent effects of having extremely high adhesion and deformability, good watertightness due to crimping, and high functionality as a packing.

[0012] The packing / ice-stopping member is provided at its upper portion with a grip for removal by gripping and lifting with fingers, which provides the excellent effect of making it easy to remove and convenient for cleaning, etc.

[0013] The lid has an arched handle at the top, and the lower part of the handle has a concave recess formed therein, which provides the excellent effect of making the handle easy to grasp with the hand. [Brief description of the drawings]

[Figure 9] FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the components of a bottle according to a conventional example, separated from each other. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0015] Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. First, in Fig. 1 to Fig. 4, the reference numeral 11 denotes a bottle, which is composed of a metal container body 12 having a cylindrical shape with a bottom and a tapered upper part, a packing and ice-stopping member 13 placed on a step 20 near the opening of the container body 12, and a synthetic resin lid 14 screwed to the opening of the container body 12.

[0016] The container body 12 is formed of a metal material, preferably a stainless steel material, and has a bottomed cylindrical shape with a tapered upper portion. 5, the container body 12 is formed in a double structure of an outer stainless steel part 15 and an inner stainless steel part 16, with a vacuum layer 17 formed between them. Therefore, the presence of the two stainless steel parts 15, 16 and the vacuum layer 17 between them provides excellent insulation, improves the hot / cold insulation effect, and makes it possible to keep beverages hot or cold for long periods of time.

[0017] As shown in Figs. 2 and 5, the container body 12 has an opening 18 at its upper end, and a female screw portion 19 is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the upper portion. Further, a step 20 is formed along the inner circumference below the female screw portion 19. The step 20 is a portion that receives the packing / ice stopping member 13 in a placed state.

[0018] The packing / ice-stopping member 13 is made of a rubber material, preferably a silicone rubber material, and is formed in a circular or disk shape as shown in FIG. When the packing / ice-stopping member 13 is made of silicon rubber, it has extremely high adhesion and deformability, and provides good watertightness through compression, and therefore functions well as a packing. Further, the packing / ice-stopping member 13 is provided with a plurality of small holes 21. Therefore, the stored liquid can escape through the small holes 21, but the ice cannot escape.

[0019] 2, a gripping portion 22 for removal is provided on the upper portion of the packing / ice stopping member 13, which can be grasped and lifted with fingers 27. Therefore, the gripping portion 22 can be easily removed by grasping it with fingers 27 (see FIG. 8), which is convenient for cleaning, etc.

[0020] The lid portion 14 is made of a synthetic resin material, preferably a polypropylene resin material, and is provided with an arched handle 23 on the upper portion, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a concave recess 24 is formed in the lower part of the handle 23. The presence of this recess 24 makes it easy to grasp the handle 23 with one's hand.

[0021] As shown in Fig. 2, a male screw portion 25 is formed on the outer periphery of the lower side of the lid portion 14. The male screw portion 25 is a portion that screws into the female screw portion 19 of the container body 12 as shown in Fig. 7. As shown in FIG. 6, a ring-shaped bottom portion 26 is formed on the bottom of the lid portion 14.

[0022] In the bottle 11 constructed as described above, due to the presence of the packing / ice stopping member 13, by placing this packing / ice stopping member 13 on the step 20 of the container body 12 and screwing the lid 14 into the opening 18 of the container body 12, the ring-shaped bottom 26 is pressed along the packing / ice stopping member 13. Furthermore, because the packing / ice stopping member 13 is in close contact with the step 20, a watertight structure that does not leak liquid is maintained.

[0023] Moreover, unlike the conventional example, two components, an ice stopper and a packing, are integrated into one component, the ice stopper member 13 which also serves as a packing, thereby reducing the number of components and the manufacturing cost. Then, the packing / ice-stopping member 13 can be removed and washed. Furthermore, since no packing is attached to the lid 14 as in the conventional example, the lid 14 can be easily washed.
