Description

Two-way locking one-touch cap

[0001] The present invention relates to a bidirectional locking type one-touch cap, and more specifically, to a bidirectional locking type one-touch cap having a safety function that enables bidirectional locking of the cover portion and prevents easy opening of the cover portion.

[0002]

[0003] Generally, cosmetic containers are intended to hold cosmetics for various uses, and most of them are equipped with airtight seals to prevent deterioration or damage during distribution or storage, with the degree of airtightness varying depending on the use or properties of the cosmetic.

[0004] According to recent trends, there is a growing emphasis on actively encouraging the development of cosmetic containers that consider resource recycling and the environment. Furthermore, there is a demand for eco-friendly products that minimize inconvenience for consumers regarding use or disposal by facilitating easy separation and disposal.

[0005] Furthermore, conventional cosmetic containers feature a screw-fastening mechanism that allows anyone to easily open the cap. However, such easy opening can lead to the waste of contents by young children with poor judgment, and poses a risk of safety accidents, such as children ingesting the contents while out of the supervision of adults, thus requiring special caution.

[0006] Therefore, there is a need to improve this.

[0007] The background technology of the present invention is disclosed in Korean Published Patent Application No. 10-2011-0002279 (published Jan. 7, 2011, Title of Invention: Sealed Safety Double Cap).

[0008]

[0009] The present invention has been devised to improve upon the aforementioned problems and aims to provide an eco-friendly bidirectional locking one-touch cap that enhances the sealing function while maintaining the convenience of a one-touch cap, and is formed from a single material, eliminating the need for separate disposal.

[0010] In addition, the present invention aims to provide a bidirectional locking one-touch cap that can prevent safety accidents by a structure that allows opening only at a specific location of the cover portion.

[0011]

[0012] A bidirectional locking one-touch cap according to one embodiment of the present invention may include a main body, a cover portion coupled to the main body to open and close an opening of the main body, and a safety opening / closing operating portion that controls the opening and closing of the cover portion to seal the main body and causes the cover portion to open at a specific position.

[0013] In addition, the cover portion may include a ring portion rotatably provided around the circumference of the main body and a pivot cover hinged to the ring portion to open and close the opening of the main body.

[0014] In addition, mutually corresponding stepped portions may be formed on the facing surfaces of the ring portion and the pivot cover.

[0015] Additionally, the safety opening / closing operating unit includes a sealing member provided on the rotating cover and a sealing operating unit that moves the cover downward so that the sealing member contacts the opening of the main body. The sealing operating unit may include a plurality of sealing guide grooves formed to be inclined downward for a certain length along the circumferential surface of the main body, a sealing guide projection formed on the rotating cover to be inserted corresponding to the sealing guide grooves, and an opening formed at a position excluding the end of the sealing guide groove so that the sealing guide projection is disengaged from the sealing guide grooves to open the rotating cover.

[0016] In addition, the sealing guide groove may be formed to slope downward in both directions of the opening.

[0017] In addition, the plurality of sealing guide grooves formed along the circumference of the main body can be interconnected.

[0018] In addition, the sealing operating part may include a sealing reinforcing part that strengthens the sealing force of the main body and the cover part.

[0019] In addition, the sealing reinforcement part is formed at the lower end of the sealing guide groove, and the sealing guide projection is guided downward so that the rotating cover can be pressed against the ring part.

[0020] In addition, the safety opening / closing operating part may include an auxiliary guide part that guides the sealing operation of the cover part by the sealing operating part.

[0021] In addition, the auxiliary guide part may be formed in the main body parallel to the sealing guide groove.

[0022] In addition, it may include an auxiliary guide projection formed to protrude from the ring portion so as to be inserted into the auxiliary guide groove.

[0023] In addition, a position fixing projection for temporarily fixing the position of the auxiliary guide projection may be formed in the auxiliary guide groove.

[0024] In addition, the auxiliary guide groove and the sealing guide groove can be interconnected by a connecting groove.

[0025]

[0026] As described above, the bidirectional locking one-touch cap according to the present invention can enhance the sealing function by vertically lowering the cover portion by rotation while maintaining the convenience of opening and closing by means of a hinge.

[0027] In addition, since the sealing guide groove is formed in both directions around the opening, the present invention enables bidirectional locking, thereby improving convenience. Furthermore, since the opening is formed at a specific location excluding the end of the sealing guide groove, easy opening of the cover can be prevented, which prevents young children, the elderly, and those with impaired judgment from easily opening it, thus preventing safety accidents.

[0028] In addition, the present invention can provide convenience of use by enabling the opening, closing, sealing, and locking operations of the cover part at once, and enables stable opening and closing movement through a structure in which the sealing operating part and the auxiliary guide part are arranged in two rows, and can provide convenience of use by recognizing the sealed position and the open position through the position fixing part.

[0029] In addition, the present invention is equipped with a sealing reinforcement part in the sealing guide groove so that the rotating cover can be pressed toward the container, thereby increasing the sealing force and reinforcing the maintenance of the locked state of the cover part.

[0030] In addition, the present invention provides a product that considers resource recycling and the environment by having the main body and the cover made of a single PP material, and also provides an eco-friendly product that minimizes inconvenience for consumers regarding use or disposal by eliminating the need for separate disposal.

[0044] Furthermore, the terms described below are defined in consideration of their functions in the present invention, and these may vary depending on the intent or practice of the user or operator. Therefore, the definitions of these terms should be based on the content throughout this specification.

[0046] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 9, a bidirectional locking one-touch cap (100) according to one embodiment of the present invention may include a main body (110), a cover part (120), and a safety opening / closing operating part (140).

[0047] The main body (110) is formed in a ring shape and can be coupled to the upper opening of a container (C) that receives contents, as shown in FIG. 9. That is, the main body (110) may be formed integrally with the opening of the container (C) or may be fixed to the opening by a separate coupling means. The container (C) may be a container of various shapes that receives contents inside and has an opening from which the contents can be taken out.

[0048] Referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 7, the cover portion (120) is provided on the main body (110) and opens and closes the opening of the main body (110) by means of a hinge, and may include a ring portion (122) rotatably provided around the main body (110) and a pivot cover (124) hinge-connected to the ring portion (122) to open and close the opening of the main body (110).

[0049] The ring portion (122) is formed in a ring shape having a certain upper and lower width, and the pivot cover (124) can be hinge-connected to the ring portion (122) by a hinge portion (123). The hinge portion (123) may be formed integrally with the ring portion (122) and the pivot cover (124), or it may be formed in a form that is mutually separate and detachable.

[0050] A mutually corresponding stepped portion (125) is formed on the facing surfaces of the ring portion (122) and the rotating cover (124). The stepped portion (125) forms a wide contact area to improve adhesion, and also prevents the corresponding surfaces of the ring portion (122) and the rotating cover (124) from becoming misaligned when the rotating cover (124) is in a closed state.

[0051] A tapered portion (112) is formed on the upper surface of the main body (110). The tapered portion (112) prevents the inner surface of the rotating cover (124) and the upper part of the main body (110) from getting caught during the opening and closing operation of the rotating cover (124), thereby enabling smooth opening and closing.

[0052] The ring portion (122) and the rotating cover (124) can be prevented from separating from each other by the lifting prevention portion (130).

[0053] The anti-lifting portion (130) may be composed of an anti-lifting rib (132) formed protruding from the upper part of the ring portion (122) and a locking groove (134) formed on the inner surface of the rotating cover (124) to allow the anti-lifting rib (132) to be joined.

[0054] At this time, a seating groove (132a) is formed in the anti-lift rib (132) to which the sealing guide projection (147), described later, is seated. Also, it is preferable that the anti-lift rib (132) be formed at a position opposite to the hinge portion (123).

[0055] The main body (110) and the cover part (120) may each have a display part (115) formed therein that allows visual confirmation of the open state when the cover part (120) is open and aligned with each other.

[0056] The display portion (115) may be formed with an intaglio or protrusion formed on the main body (110) and the cover portion (120), and various design changes are possible.

[0057] Referring to FIGS. 3 and FIGS. 5 to 7, the safety opening / closing operating unit (140) can control the opening and closing of the cover unit (120) so that it seals the main body (110). Additionally, by preventing the cover unit (120) from opening easily by opening it at a specific position, it is possible to prevent it from being opened by a young child or others who lack discernment.

[0058] The safety opening / closing operating part (140) may include a sealing member (142) and a sealing operating part (145).

[0059] The sealing member (142) is formed as a sealing rib protruding from the inner surface of the rotating cover (124). More specifically, the sealing member (142) is formed protruding downward from the bottom surface of the rotating cover (124) and can seal the opening of the main body (110) by contacting the inner surface of the opening of the main body (110) when the cover part (120) is lowered by the sealing operating part (145) described later.

[0060] A tapered portion (143) may be formed at the end of the sealing member (142) to facilitate insertion into the opening of the main body (110) when the rotating cover (124) is closed.

[0061] In this embodiment, the sealing member (142) is shown as a sealing rib integrally formed on the bottom surface of the rotating cover (124), but it is not limited thereto. Various design modifications are possible, such as the sealing member (142) being made of PE foam attached to the bottom surface of the cover portion (120) and being pressed onto the upper surface of the opening of the main body (110).

[0062] The sealing operating part (145) moves the cover part (120) downward so that the sealing member (142) is in close contact with the opening of the main body (110), and may include a plurality of sealing guide grooves (146) formed to be inclined downward for a certain length along the circumference of the main body (110), a sealing guide projection (147) formed on the rotating cover (124) to be inserted corresponding to the sealing guide grooves (146), and an opening part (148) formed at a position excluding the end of the sealing guide groove (146) so that the sealing guide projection (147) is detached from the sealing guide groove (146) and the rotating cover (124) is opened.

[0063] The cover portion (120) can be vertically lowered when rotated by the sealing operating portion (145), and the sealing member (142) can be vertically inserted into the opening of the main body (110) by the lowering of the cover portion (120) to seal the interior of the main body (110).

[0064] The sealing guide groove (146) is formed to slope downward in both directions of the opening (148). That is, the opening (148) is formed at the top of the sealing guide groove (146), and the height difference between the top and bottom of the sealing guide groove (146) becomes the height at which the sealing member (142) is inserted into the opening of the main body (110).

[0065] Accordingly, as illustrated in FIG. 5 and FIG. 8(a), when the sealing guide projection (147) is positioned at the bottom of the sealing guide groove (146) by the rotation of the cover portion (120), the sealing member (142) is inserted into the opening of the main body (110) and is in a sealed state; as illustrated in FIG. 6 and FIG. 8(b), when the sealing guide projection (147) is positioned at the top of the sealing guide groove (146) by the rotation of the cover portion (120), the seal is released; and as illustrated in FIG. 7 and FIG. 8(c), when the sealing guide projection (147) is disengaged through the opening portion (148), the rotating cover (124) can be opened.

[0066] In this way, the sealing operating part (145) can control the opening and closing of the rotating cover (124), as well as guide the rotation of the cover part (120) in addition to sealing the cover part (120).

[0067] The sealing guide grooves (146) formed in both directions of the opening (148) may be formed with different lengths relative to each other. Since the left and right lengths of the sealing guide grooves (146) centered on the opening (148) are different, the left and right rotation lengths of the cover (120) can be varied to produce various opening and closing operations, and since the opening (148) is not reached as a result of the opening and closing operation, the safety function can be improved.

[0068] In particular, since the position of the opening (148) is formed at a position excluding the end of the sealing guide groove (146), the opening of the cover (120) is not easy compared to a general structure in which it is opened at the rotating end of the cover (120), thereby ensuring safety from young children, etc.

[0069] In this embodiment, the sealing guide grooves (146) are formed in three locations spaced apart at regular intervals on the circumferential surface of the main body (110), and the sealing guide protrusions (147) are also formed in three locations on the inner surface of the rotating cover (124) to correspond to the sealing guide grooves (146). The number of sealing guide grooves (146) and sealing guide protrusions (147) is not limited to this, and various design changes are possible.

[0070] The sealing operating part (145) may include a sealing reinforcing part (150) that reinforces the sealing force of the main body (110) and the cover part (120).

[0071] The sealing reinforcement part (150) is formed at the lower end of the sealing guide groove (146), and the sealing guide projection (147) is guided downward to compress the rotating cover (124) and the ring part (122), and the sealing member (142) is inserted deeper into the opening of the main body (110), thereby increasing the contact area and improving the sealing force.

[0072] As shown in FIG. 3, this sealing reinforcement part (150) may be formed with a shape in which the bottom of the sealing guide groove (146) is not horizontal but slightly inclined downward.

[0073] That is, when the sealing guide projection (147) reaches the lower part of the sealing guide groove (146), it is further guided downward by the sealing reinforcement part (150), thereby allowing the rotating cover (124) and the ring part (122) to be more closely attached and the sealing member (142) to be further inserted into the opening of the main body (110). This increases the sealing force.

[0074] Meanwhile, FIG. 4 is a modified example of the sealing operating part (145), wherein a plurality of sealing guide grooves (146) formed along the circumferential surface of the main body (110) may be interconnected. In the modified example, since the sealing guide grooves (146) are formed over the entire circumferential surface of the main body (110), the cover part (120) can be continuously rotated while moving up and down in one direction along the sealing guide grooves (146).

[0075] And, in the case of a modified example, the auxiliary guide groove (162) described later is also formed over the entire circumferential surface of the main body (110), just like the sealing guide groove (146).

[0076] The safety opening / closing operation unit (140) may further include an auxiliary guide unit (160) that guides the sealing operation of the cover unit (120) by the sealing operation unit (145).

[0077] The auxiliary guide section (160) may include a plurality of auxiliary guide grooves (162) formed parallel to the sealing guide groove (146) in the main body (110) and an auxiliary guide projection (164) formed protruding from the ring section (122) to be inserted into the auxiliary guide groove (162).

[0078] A position fixing jaw (163) for temporarily fixing the position of the auxiliary guide projection (164) is formed in the auxiliary guide groove (162). The position fixing jaw (163) can be formed at the bottom of the auxiliary guide groove (162) and at the top of the auxiliary guide.

[0079] The position fixing jaw (163) is formed in a shape that protrudes upward from the lower surface of the auxiliary guide groove (162), and the auxiliary guide projection (164) that extends beyond the position fixing jaw (163) can be temporarily fixed in its current position, thereby preventing unintended rotation of the cover portion (120).

[0080] And, the position fixing jaw (163) formed at the top of the auxiliary guide groove (162) is formed as a pair that are spaced apart by the width of the opening (148) and are formed on a straight line corresponding to the edge of the opening (148).

[0081] Accordingly, the user can recognize the sealed state of the cover part (120) or the openable state of the rotating cover (124) by means of the position fixing jaw (163).

[0082] The auxiliary guide groove (162) and the sealing guide groove (146) are interconnected by a connecting groove (170). The connecting groove (170) is configured for the assembly and separation of the cover portion (120), and the cover portion (120) can be assembled and separated through the connecting groove (170) that connects the opening (148) of the sealing guide groove (146) and the sealing guide groove (146) and the auxiliary guide groove (162).

[0083] In the connecting groove (170), an undercut portion (172) is formed to prevent the auxiliary guide projection (164) from unintendedly moving from the auxiliary guide groove (162) to the connecting groove (170).

[0084] The connecting groove (170) is formed to be inclined upward in the reverse direction of the auxiliary guide groove (162), and the undercut portion (172) protrudes inward at the lower corner of the connecting groove (170) to prevent the auxiliary guide projection (164) from entering the connecting groove (170) while moving along the auxiliary guide groove (162).

[0085] In addition, the upper and lower widths of the auxiliary guide groove (162) and the sealing guide groove (146) are formed to be the same, and the auxiliary guide projection (164) is formed to be slightly smaller than the sealing guide projection (147). This is a structure for the operation of the sealing reinforcement part (150) described above, and the sealing guide projection (147) can be guided downward by the sealing reinforcement part (150).

[0086] Of course, it is also possible to form the auxiliary guide projection (164) and the sealing guide projection (147) of the same size and to form the upper and lower width of the auxiliary guide groove (162) slightly larger.

[0087] According to the present embodiment, the main body (110) and the cover part (120) may be made of a single material. As an example, the main body (110) and the cover part (120) are made of a single material of PP (polypropylene). Since all the above-mentioned components are made of a single material, a product that considers resource recycling or the environment can be provided.

[0088] Meanwhile, as illustrated in FIG. 10, as a modified example of the main body (110), a receiving space for accommodating contents may be formed in the main body (110).

[0089] The main body (110) is formed to a certain height and has a bottom surface formed to form a receiving space capable of accommodating a certain capacity, so that a cover part (120) can be combined and used as a container (C).

[0090] The operation and effects of a bidirectional locking one-touch cap according to one embodiment of the present invention are described below.

[0091] Referring to FIG. 3, when examining the assembly of the main body (110) and the cover part (120), a sealing guide groove (146) and an auxiliary guide groove (162) are formed by engraving the same shape in parallel on the upper and lower sides of the circumferential surface of the main body (110), and the respective sealing guide projection (147) and auxiliary guide projection (164) inserted therein are formed on the same line on the ring part (122) and the rotating cover (124), respectively. At this time, the sealing guide groove (146) is formed in both directions centered on the opening part (148).

[0092] After inserting the auxiliary guide projection (164) formed on the ring portion (122) through the opening (148), it enters the auxiliary guide groove (162) through the connecting groove (170). Then, the ring portion (122) is rotated so that the auxiliary guide projection (164) moves to the top of the auxiliary guide groove (162), and the sealing guide projection (147) formed on the rotating cover (124) enters the sealing guide groove (146) through the opening (148), thereby completing the assembly of the main body (110) and the cover portion (120).

[0093] The closing and opening operations of the cover portion (120) will be explained with reference to FIGS. 5 to 8.

[0094] As illustrated in FIG. 5 and FIG. 8(a), when the sealing guide projection (147) and the auxiliary guide projection (164) are positioned at the bottom of each sealing guide groove (146), the cover portion (120) is in a downward position from the main body (110), so the sealing member (142) formed protruding from the inner surface of the rotating cover (124) comes into close contact with the inner surface of the opening of the main body (110) to seal the opening of the main body (110).

[0095] A position fixing projection (163) is formed at the bottom of the auxiliary guide groove (162) to fix the position of the auxiliary guide projection (164), thereby preventing unintended movement of the cover portion (120).

[0096] In addition, the lower end of the sealing guide groove (146) is formed with a sealing reinforcement part (150) that is formed at a downward slope, so that the rotating cover (124) can be pressed more strongly downward, thereby improving the sealing power of the cover part (120). (See FIG. 3)

[0097] When the user wants to open the cover portion (120), as shown in FIG. 6 and FIG. 8(b), if the cover portion (120) is rotated to one side, each sealing guide projection (147) and auxiliary guide projection (164) moves along each sealing guide groove (146) and auxiliary guide groove (162), and the cover portion (120) is raised from the main body (110).

[0098] When the auxiliary guide projection (164) reaches the top beyond the position fixing projection (163) formed at the top of the auxiliary guide groove (162), the sealing guide projection (147) is aligned with the opening (148).

[0099] By raising the cover portion (120), the contact between the sealing member (142) formed on the rotating cover (124) and the inner surface of the opening of the main body (110) is released, so that the seal can be released, and the rotating cover (124) can secure a space that allows for hinge opening and closing.

[0100] At this time, the ring portion (122) and the rotating cover (124) can be kept closed without opening by means of a lifting prevention portion (130) that prevents mutual lifting. A lifting prevention rib (132) formed on the ring portion (122) opposite to the hinge portion (123) is connected to a catch groove (134) of the rotating cover (124), so that the ring portion (122) and the rotating cover (124) can always be kept closed in the closed and open positions of the cover portion (120). This has the effect of improving the quality of the product.

[0101] Afterwards, as shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 8(c), since the sealing guide projection (147) and the opening (148) are aligned, the user can open the interior of the main body (110) by rotating the rotating cover (124) to open it.

[0102] When the contents of the main body (110) are used, the rotating cover (124) is covered and the cover portion (120) is rotated to one side or the other. Each sealing guide projection (147) and auxiliary guide projection (164) moves along the sealing guide groove (146) and auxiliary guide groove (162), thereby lowering the cover portion (120), so that the main body (110) can be sealed again and the locked state of the cover portion (120) can be maintained.

[0103] As illustrated in FIGS. 3 and FIGS. 8, the sealing guide groove (146) is formed in both directions around the opening (148), thereby enabling locking in both directions and preventing young children, the elderly, and people with impaired judgment from easily opening it, thereby preventing safety accidents.

[0104] To explain this in detail, the bidirectional locking one-touch cap (100) according to the present invention can open the rotating cover (124) only at a specific location where the opening (148) is formed. Safety can be ensured by forming the opening (148) at a location excluding the end of the sealing guide groove (146).

[0105] That is, since the opening (148) in the sealing guide groove (146) is formed in the middle portion rather than the end portion of the sealing guide groove (146), concentration and fine operation are required to align the sealing guide projection (147) with the opening (148).

[0106] Therefore, unlike a general structure where the cover (120) can be opened by simply rotating it to reach the opening position, the difficulty of opening the cover (120) increases.

[0107] In other words, the aforementioned young children, the elderly, and persons with mental or physical impairments lack concentration and have somewhat reduced ability to control force, making fine manipulation difficult; thus, easy opening can be prevented, thereby preventing safety accidents that may occur due to careless opening of contents.

[0108] At this time, the lengths of the left sealing guide groove (146) and the right sealing guide groove (146) centered on the opening (148) can be varied. This allows for various opening and closing operations to be produced as the rotation length of the cover (120) varies depending on the direction, and improves safety functions by requiring precise operation to align the position of the opening (148).

[0109] Meanwhile, as illustrated in FIG. 10, the main body (110) is formed to a certain height and has a bottom surface formed to form a receiving space capable of accommodating contents, so that the main body (110) itself can be used as a container (C).

[0110] As described above, the present invention maintains the convenience of a one-touch cap that is easy to open and close, while enhancing the sealing function through vertical descent caused by the rotation of the cover part. It also improves convenience by enabling locking in both directions and has the effect of preventing safety accidents by preventing young children, the elderly, and those with impaired judgment from easily opening it.
