[0040] [First embodiment of an airless container with separate inner and outer containers]
[0041] FIG. 1 is a simplified diagram illustrating the overall cross-sectional structure of an inner and outer container separable airless container with improved center support function according to the first embodiment, FIG. 2 is a simplified diagram illustrating the cross-sectional structure of the outer container of the inner and outer container separable airless container with improved center support function according to the first embodiment, and FIG. 3 is a simplified diagram illustrating the cross-sectional structure of the inner container of the inner container separable airless container with improved center support function according to the first embodiment.
[0042] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 3, an airless container (100) with an inner and outer container separation type according to the first embodiment will be described. The airless container (100) with an inner and outer container separation type according to the first embodiment includes an outer container (110), an inner container (120), and a cap (130).
[0043] The outer container (110) may be made of a recyclable transparent material, preferably a transparent PET (polyethylene terephthalate) material, and various other materials having similar characteristics may be used without limitation.
[0044] The inner container (120) can be inserted into the inner side of the outer container (110). The inner container (120) functions as a container for holding and storing actual contents. After the contents are used up, the inner container (120) can be separated from the inside of the outer container (110) and disposed of.
[0045] The airless container (110) with an inner and outer container separation type according to the first embodiment may have a structure in which the center of the bottom portion (117) of the outer container (110) and the center of the bottom portion (127) of the inner container (120) are fixed to each other before the inner container (120) is separated and discharged from the outer container (110).
[0046] Accordingly, according to the present invention, the center of the bottom portion (127) of the inner container (120) and the center of the bottom portion (117) of the outer container (110) can be fixedly connected to each other until the inner container (120) is separated and discharged from the outer container (110) after the contents have been used up, and separation from each other can be prevented. As a result, the overall center of the container (100) can be easily maintained during use of the contents due to separation between the inner container (120) and the outer container (110), thereby preventing external deformation and improving ease of use. As an example, the inner container (120) may be made of LLDPE (Linear Low Density Polyethylene) material, and various other materials having similar characteristics may be used without limitation.
[0047] Referring to FIG. 1, an external container hole (119) may be provided at the center of the bottom portion (117) of the external container (110). Additionally, an internal container protrusion (129) may be provided at the center of the bottom portion (127) of the internal container (120), which protrudes downward and is inserted and fixed into the external container hole (119). Accordingly, before the internal container (120) is separated and discharged from the external container (110), that is, when the contents remain and the contents are used repeatedly, the state in which the internal container protrusion (129) is inserted into the external container hole (119) may be maintained. In contrast, after the contents are used up, the internal container (120) is separated and discharged from the external container (110), at which time the internal container (120) may be separated and discharged from the inside of the external container (110) by an external force (i.e., the force of the user). At this time, the inner container protrusion (129) inserted into the outer container hole (119) may have a structure in which it is forcibly separated. That is, the inner container protrusion (129) can remain fixedly connected to the outer container hole (119) without being separated from it unless a forceful force is applied by the user.
[0048] At this time, a first round shape portion (118) formed convexly upward compared to the remaining area (i.e., the outer center area) of the bottom portion (117) of the outer container (110) may be provided at the center of the bottom portion (117) of the outer container (110) (see FIG. 2).
[0049] Preferably, the outer container hole (119) may have a circular hole shape that penetrates the center of the first round shape portion (118) in the thickness direction.
[0050] Additionally, a second round shape portion (128) may be provided at the center of the bottom portion (127) of the inner container (120), which is formed convexly upward compared to the remaining area (i.e., the outer center area) of the bottom portion (127) of the inner container (120) and is in close contact with the upper surface of the first round shape portion (118) without gaps (see FIG. 3).
[0051] Preferably, the inner container protrusion (129) may have a circular protrusion shape that protrudes toward the outer container hole (119) from the center of the second round shape portion (128).
[0052] In addition, a catch groove (1191) may be further formed on the outer side of the outer container hole (119) (see FIG. 2). Furthermore, the inner container protrusion (129) may be provided with a stopper (1291) having a diameter expanded compared to the outer container hole (119) and provided at the tip portion in the protruding direction. Accordingly, when the inner container protrusion (129) is inserted into the outer container hole (119), the stopper (1291) provided at the tip portion of the inner container protrusion (129) spreads widely into the catch groove (1191) and is secured by catch, thereby preventing the inner container protrusion (129) from being accidentally detached. Preferably, the stopper may have various shapes, and it is preferable that it be formed in a flexible shape, such as a wing shape, that can be bent well so that the inner container protrusion (129) can be fitted well when inserted into the outer container hole (119).
[0053] Additionally, preferably, the inner container protrusion (129) may have a wedge shape in which the diameter gradually increases as it moves up and down. Accordingly, the inner container protrusion (129) can be prevented from being easily separated from the outer container hole (119) until the inner container (120) is separated and discharged from the outer container (110).
[0054] Meanwhile, according to one embodiment, the inner container (120) of an airless container with an improved center support function and an inner and outer container separation type may be provided with an inner container protrusion (129). The inner container protrusion (129) may have a hollow protrusion structure with an empty interior (see FIG. 8). Referring to FIG. 8, the inner container protrusion (129) may have a hollow tube shape with an empty interior. Additionally, a stopper (1291) may be provided at the tip portion of the inner container protrusion (129). Accordingly, insertion of the inner container protrusion (129) becomes easier, and after insertion, the stopper (1291) elastically restores to open to both sides, thereby improving the insertion retention force of the inner container protrusion (129).
[0055] [Second embodiment of an airless container with separate inner and outer containers]
[0056] FIGS. 4 and 5 are enlarged cross-sectional views of the entire and a portion of an airless container with an improved center support function according to the second embodiment, FIG. 6 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of the neck portion of an airless container with an improved center support function according to the second embodiment, and FIG. 7 is a drawing showing a cross-sectional structure with an external air inlet path applied to an airless container with an improved center support function according to the second embodiment.
[0057] Referring to FIGS. 4 to 7, an airless container (100) with an inner and outer container separation type according to the second embodiment will be described.
[0058] The airless container (100) with an inner and outer container separation type according to the second embodiment has a structure with an improved center support function that prevents the inner container (120) from being separated from the outer container (110) until the contents are all used, and can also have a structure with an improved separation and discharge function for the inner container (120).
[0059] Referring to FIG. 4, an airless container (100) with a separable inner and outer container according to a second embodiment includes an outer container (110), an inner container (120), and a cap (130). The outer container (110) may be made of a transparent material that is recyclable. The inner container (120) may be inserted into the inner side of the outer container (110). The inner container (120) functions as a container for holding and storing actual contents. After the contents are used up, the inner container (120) can be separated from the inside of the outer container (110) and disposed of.
[0060] According to the second embodiment, the inner and outer container separation type airless container (110) may have a structure in which the center of the bottom portion (117) of the outer container (110) and the center of the bottom portion (127) of the inner container (120) are fixedly coupled to each other before the inner container (120) is separated and discharged from the outer container (110). Accordingly, according to the present invention, the center of the bottom portion (127) of the inner container (120) and the center of the bottom portion (117) of the outer container (110) can be fixedly coupled to each other until the inner container (120) is separated and discharged from the outer container (110) after the contents have been used up, and separation from each other can be prevented. As a result, the overall center of the container (100) can be easily maintained while using the contents due to the separation between the inner container (120) and the outer container (110), thereby preventing external deformation and improving ease of use.
[0061] At this time, an external container hole (119) may be provided at the center of the bottom portion (117) of the external container (110). And an internal container projection (129) that protrudes downward and is inserted and fixed into the external container hole (119) may be provided at the center of the bottom portion (127) of the internal container (120).
[0062] Specifically, a first round shape portion (118) may be provided at the center of the bottom portion (117) of the outer container (110), which is formed to be convex upward compared to the remaining area (i.e., the outer center area) of the bottom portion (117) of the outer container (110). And the outer container hole (119) may have a circular hole shape that penetrates the center of the first round shape portion (118) in the thickness direction.
[0063] Specifically, a second round shape (128) may be provided at the center of the bottom portion (127) of the inner container (120), which is formed convexly upward compared to the remaining area (i.e., the outer center area) of the bottom portion (127) of the inner container (120) and is in close contact with the upper surface of the first round shape (118) without any gap. In addition, the inner container protrusion (129) may have a circular protrusion shape that protrudes toward the outer container hole (119) from the center of the second round shape (128).
[0064] Accordingly, before the inner container (120) is separated and discharged from the outer container (110), that is, when the contents are repeatedly used while the contents remain, the inner container protrusion (129) can be maintained in the state of being inserted into the outer container hole (119).
[0065] After the contents have been completely used, the inner container (120) is separated and discharged from the outer container (110) for disposal. At this time, the user can apply force (i.e., external force) to pull the inner container (120) out of the inside of the outer container (110) and separate and discharge it. At this time, the inner container protrusion (129) inserted into the outer container hole (119) can be forcibly separated.
[0066] Meanwhile, referring to FIGS. 4 to 7, the inner and outer container separable airless container (100) includes an outer container (110), an inner container (120), and a cap (130).
[0067] The outer container (110) has a first receiving space (111) and is equipped with an outer neck (112) with an open opening. The outer container (110) may have various container shapes and is not necessarily limited to the shape shown. The opening of the outer container (110) may be opened through the top of the outer neck (112).
[0068] The inner container (120) is inserted into the inner side of the outer container (110), preferably inserted into the first receiving space (111) and having a structure that is in close contact with the inner wall of the outer container (110). Additionally, the inner container (120) has a second receiving space (121) for storing contents. The second receiving space (121) is sealed except for the opening, so that the contents can be stored in a sealed state.
[0069] The inner container (120) is disposed of after the contents are used. When the inner container (120) is disposed of, the inner container (120) may be discharged in a crushed form with reduced volume inside the first receiving space (111) of the outer container (110). The inner container (120) has an inner neck (122), and the opening of the inner container (120) may be opened through the top of the inner neck (122).
[0070] The cap (130) is screw-coupled to at least a portion of the inner neck (121) by rotating it in a closing direction (e.g., clockwise) and can be fastened to seal the first and second receiving spaces (111, 121).
[0071] In other words, when the cap (130) is coupled to the inner neck (121) and fixed in a locked state at the top of the outer container (110), the first and second receiving spaces (111, 121) are sealed from the outside, and the contents can be stored for a long time within the second receiving space (121). The contents stored in the second receiving space (121) of the inner container (120) can be discharged to the outside in a certain amount whenever needed and used, and after the contents are used up, the inner container (120) can be separated from the outer container (110) and discharged to the outside. If the locked cap (130) is further rotated in a closing direction (i.e., reverse direction) (e.g., clockwise), the first receiving space (111) is connected to the outside, allowing air to flow between the inner surface of the outer container (110) and the outer surface of the inner container (120), and the inner container (120) can contract. The contracted inner container (120) can be easily separated through the opening of the outer container (110).
[0072] Additionally, the inner neck (122) of the inner container (120) may have a shape that protrudes upward longer than the outer neck (112) of the outer container (110). And an inner neck male thread section (123) having a predetermined length may be formed on the outer diameter of the inner neck (122). At this time, the inner neck male thread section (123) may be formed such that the direction of the thread (i.e., male thread) located at the top and the direction of the thread (i.e., male thread) located at the bottom are different from each other based on the longitudinal direction (i.e., vertical longitudinal direction) of the inner neck (122). Preferably, among the inner neck male thread section (123), the male thread section (i.e., thread) located at the top may have a right-hand thread shape, and the male thread section (i.e., thread) located at the bottom may have a left-hand thread shape.
[0073] Meanwhile, an outer neck female screw portion (113) of a first length may be formed on the outer neck (112). The outer neck female screw portion (113) may have a structure that is screw-coupled to a left-handed screw portion (i.e., thread) located at the bottom of the inner neck male screw portion (123). Because of this, when the cap (130) is in a locked state and the cap (130) is rotated further in a closing direction (i.e., reverse direction) (e.g., clockwise), the inner neck male screw portion (123) can be separated from the outer neck female screw portion (113) and move upward.
[0074] Additionally, the cap (130) includes a circular cap stopper portion (131) and a cap fastening portion (132) connected in a circular tube shape from the edge of the cap stopper portion (131). The cap fastening portion (132) can be screw-coupled to the upper part of the inner neck (122), for example, the upper portion where the inner neck (122) protrudes higher than the outer neck (112). To this end, a cap female screw portion (133) of a second length can be formed in the inner diameter of the cap fastening portion (132).
[0075] Here, the total length of the inner neck (122) may be equal to or longer than the sum of the first length of the outer neck (112) and the second length of the cap female screw portion (133).
[0076] Preferably, the inner neck male screw portion (123) includes a first inner neck male screw portion (1231) and a second inner neck male screw portion (1232). The first inner neck male screw portion (1231) refers to a male screw portion located at the lower portion of the inner neck male screw portion (123) and can be screw-coupled with the outer neck female screw portion (113) of the first length. The second inner neck male screw portion (1232) refers to a male screw portion located at the upper portion of the inner neck male screw portion (123) and can be screw-coupled with the cap female screw portion (133) of the second length. Additionally, the first inner neck male screw portion (1231) that is screw-coupled with the outer neck female screw portion (113) of the first length may have a left-hand screw shape. Accordingly, when the cap (130) is in a locked state with the second inner neck male screw portion (1232) screwed into it, if force is applied to rotate the cap (130) further in the closing direction (i.e., reverse direction) (e.g., clockwise, etc.), the first inner neck male screw portion (1231) can be released from the screw connection with the outer neck female screw portion (113) and come out upward. Additionally, the second inner neck male screw portion (1232), which is screwed into the second length cap female screw portion (133), may have a right-hand screw shape. Accordingly, when the cap (130) is rotated in the closing direction (i.e., reverse direction) (e.g., clockwise, etc.) while the cap (130) is in an open state, the cap (130) can be screwed into the second inner neck male screw portion (1232) and become locked. Conversely, when the cap (130) is rotated in an opening direction (e.g., counterclockwise) while the cap (130) is locked, the screw connection from the second inner neck screw portion (1232) is released, and the opening of the container can be opened. Preferably, the length of the first inner neck screw portion (1231) may be formed to be shorter than the length of the second inner neck screw portion (1232).
[0077] In addition, according to the second embodiment, an external air inlet passage (170) is further included. The external air inlet passage (170) is an air inlet passage that passes through the outer neck (112) and connects to a first receiving space (111) that forms a boundary between the inner surface of the outer container (110) and the outer surface of the inner container (120). The external air inlet passage (170) can connect the outside of the container and the first receiving space and allow external air to be introduced toward the first receiving space when the cap (130) is additionally rotated in the closing direction while the cap (130) is in a closed, locked state where the cap (130) blocks the opening of the container.
[0078] Preferably, a plurality of external air inlet passages (170) may be arranged circumferentially through the area in close contact between the inner diameter portion of the outer neck (112) and the outer diameter portion of the inner neck (122), that is, the boundary surface between the outer neck (112) and the inner neck (122). For example, the plurality of external air inlet passages (170) may each have a structure in which they are arranged radially at set intervals. Accordingly, when the cap (130) in the locked state is further rotated in the closing direction (i.e., reverse direction) (e.g., clockwise, etc.), the external air inlet passage (170) provided between the outer neck (112) and the inner neck (122) is opened, so that external air can flow between the outer container (110) and the inner container (120).
[0079] Preferably, the external air inlet passage (170) may further include a circumferential hole (1701) having a hollow space that is radially extended through the inner diameter portion of the outer neck (112), and a circumferential projection (1702) that is radially protruded through the outer diameter portion of the inner neck (122) to block the upper opening of the circumferential hole (1701). The circumferential projection (1702) can maintain a structure that always blocks the upper opening of the circumferential hole (1701) regardless of whether the cap (130) is open or closed while the container is in use, that is, while the contents are discharged and used. By doing so, the external air can be blocked from entering through the external air inlet passage (170). If the contents are used up and the inner container (120) is to be disposed of, the cap (130) can be rotated with more force in the closing direction (i.e., reverse direction) (e.g., clockwise) while the cap (130) is in the closed state (i.e., locked state) to rotate the circumferential projection (1702) and open the circumferential hole (1701). By doing so, the external air inlet passage (170) is opened to the outside, allowing the inflow of external air.
[0080] Preferably, the external air inlet passage (170) may include a first passage hole (171). One end of the first passage hole (171) may be connected to a circumferential hole (1701) formed at the upper entrance of the outer neck (112), and the other end of the first passage hole (171) may be connected to a first receiving space (111). Additionally, the external air inlet passage (170) may further include a second passage hole (172) and a third passage hole (173). The second passage hole (172) may be connected from the bottom of the first passage hole (171) toward the area where the outer neck (112) begins, and may guide air to a corner (or round) shaped boundary area between the outer neck (112) and the inner neck (122), thereby facilitating separation between the outer container (110) and the inner container (120) at the corner (or round) shaped boundary area. The third Euro hole (173) is connected to the radial outer side of the outer container (110) in the opposite direction to the second Euro hole (172) at the bottom of the first Euro hole (171), and guides air to the outer corner (or round) shaped boundary area between the outer container (110) and the inner container (120), thereby facilitating separation between the outer container (110) and the inner container (120) at the outer corner (or round) shaped boundary area.
[0081] As described above, according to the configuration and operation of the present invention, the bottom of the inner container and the bottom of the outer container are prevented from separating from each other until all the contents are used, and the center of the bottom of each inner and outer container is not disturbed until all the contents are used, thereby allowing the center of the entire container to be easily maintained until all the contents are used, thus improving the convenience of use of the container and maintaining the appearance and posture of the container.
[0082] Although the present invention has been described above with reference to the illustrated drawings, the present invention is not limited by the embodiments and drawings disclosed in this specification, and it is obvious that various modifications can be made by a person skilled in the art within the scope of the technical concept of the present invention. Furthermore, even if the effects of the configuration according to the present invention were not explicitly described while describing the embodiments of the present invention above, it is natural to acknowledge that the effects predictable by said configuration should also be recognized.
