Specific details for implementing the invention

[0015] The above-mentioned objectives, features, and other advantages of the present invention will become more apparent by describing preferred embodiments of the present invention in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Hereinafter, a container according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings.

[0016] FIG. 1 is a perspective view illustrating the container of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a side view illustrating the state in which the container of the present invention is tilted by the air circulation opening when inverted, FIG. 3 is a rear view illustrating the air circulation opening of another embodiment of the container of the present invention, and FIG. 4 is a front view and a cross-sectional view illustrating the air circulation opening of yet another embodiment of the container of the present invention.

[0017] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 3, a container (100) according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a main body part (110), a handle part (120), and a first air circulation opening (130), and is a technology relating to a container in which air circulation is not blocked even when placed upside down on a horizontal object or floor, etc.

[0018] In this case, the container can be applied to various types of containers, such as toothbrush cups, mugs, coffee cups, beverage cups, and various cups for drinking, or bowls for holding food.

[0019] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the main body (110) has a space formed to hold contents inside.

[0020] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the handle portion (120) is provided on one side of the main body portion (110) so that the user can grip it with their hand.

[0021] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the first air circulation port (130) is formed at an angle at the connection point between the main body (110) and the upper part of the handle (120), so that when the main body (110) is turned over, the opening of the main body (110) is lifted and tilted so that it does not come into contact with a horizontal object or the floor, thereby enabling air circulation between the outside and the inside of the main body (110). At this time, the angle of the first air circulation port (130) can be varied.

[0022] Furthermore, the first air circulation port (130) may have a groove (131) formed on its upper surface to improve grip.

[0023] Meanwhile, although not shown in the drawing, the first air circulation port (130) may be provided with a structure that is connected at only one end from the top of the main body (110) without a handle, and the first air circulation port (130) may also have a handle function.

[0024] Referring to FIG. 3, in another embodiment, the air circulation groove (130') is formed in various shapes, such as a semicircle (arch shape) or a triangle, at the entrance of the main body (110). At this time, the air circulation groove (130') is exemplified as being formed at a location adjacent to the first air circulation opening (130) among the entrances of the main body (110), but it is not limited thereto and can be formed at various locations.

[0025] At this time, the air circulation groove (130') of another embodiment may be formed simultaneously with the first air circulation opening (130) or formed separately.

[0026] Thus, the air circulation groove (130') allows air to circulate through the open space even when the inlet of the main body (110) is in contact with a horizontal object or floor, unlike the method in which the first air circulation opening (130) is in contact with a horizontal object or floor so that the inlet of the main body (110) is tilted to allow air to circulate.

[0027] Meanwhile, although not shown in the drawing, the handle portion (120) and the first air circulation port (130) may be detachably attached to the main body portion (110) provided separately while being formed integrally. To this end, a lower catch groove is formed at the bottom of the handle portion (120), and an upper catch groove is formed at the top of the first air circulation port (130), so that the lower catch groove catches on the bottom of the main body portion (110) and the upper catch groove catches on the entrance ledge of the main body portion (110), allowing it to be separated from the main body portion (110) when not in use.

[0028] Referring to FIG. 4, in another embodiment, the second air circulation port (130) is formed longitudinally on one side of the outer surface of the main body (110) from the upper surface toward the lower direction, and is configured to be able to move in and out longitudinally from the guide groove (114), so that the entrance of the main body (110) can be inclined when pulled out.

[0029] To this end, the second air circulation port (130) has guide protrusions (132) formed on both sides to be coupled to the guide groove (114), and a handle protrusion (134) is formed on the upper outer surface so that the protrusion (134) is grasped to be pulled out or retracted. Additionally, although not shown in the drawing, an uneven surface is formed on the corresponding surface of the second air circulation port (130) and the guide groove (114) so ​​that the withdrawal position of the second air circulation port (130) can be temporarily fixed by the coupling of the uneven surface.

[0030] Accordingly, the container (100) according to the present invention has the advantage that when the main body (110) is inverted in cases where drying is required, the first air circulation port (130) is in close contact with a horizontal object or floor, so that the inlet of the main body (110) is tilted so that it is not in close contact with the horizontal object or floor, allowing air to circulate inside the main body (110). This prevents exposure to mold, etc., even if the humidity of the space in use is high, and also prevents the formation of a vacuum due to contact with the floor surface, thereby allowing for easy separation. Furthermore, since an air circulation groove (130'), which is an arch-shaped groove, is formed on one side of the inlet of the main body (110), air is circulated through the air circulation groove (130') even when the inlet of the main body (110) touches a horizontal object or floor.

[0031] The configurations included in the various embodiments described above may also be implemented in various other possible modified combinations not exemplarily described above, provided that such combinations are not clearly excluded from one another in terms of implementation.
