Description
Pump cap for double container
[0001] The present invention relates to a refillable double-container pump cap, and more particularly, to a double-container pump cap that can improve the convenience of replacement when refilling the container by combining the pump cap with a general container.
[0002] As noted, the double container includes an inner container and an outer container, and the inner container is connected to a pump cap coupled with a shoulder by screwing.
[0003] As prior art related to such dual containers, Republic of Korea Utility Model Publication No. 20-2012-0004976 (publication date July 10, 2012) 'Pumping dispenser for liquid container' and Republic of Korea Patent Registration No. 10-2473311 (registration date November 29, 2022) 'Refill cosmetic container' are disclosed.
[0004] However, the above-described conventional technology had a problem in that the replacement process was inconvenient when refilling because the contents were separated and replaced by turning the pump cap connected to the container cap.
[0005] In addition, the above-described conventional technology had a problem that it could cause environmental pollution because a separate syringe or container lid had to be used to seal the refillable container and then disposed of.
[0006] In addition, the above-described conventional technology had the problem of making the process of removing the syringe inconvenient because the syringe sealed in the new contents device or pump cap had to be removed by grasping it with the fingertips or fingernails or by using a tool such as a knife.
[0007] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a pump cap for a dual container that can easily be combined with a pump cap to improve the convenience of replacement and can easily remove the sealing portion.
[0008] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is a dual container including an outer container having an outer neck portion, an inner container accommodated inside through the outer neck portion of the outer container and having an inner neck portion, a pump cap detachably fitted into the inner neck portion of the inner container, a discharge pump having a piston housing coupled to the pump cap to discharge liquid contents stored in the inner container, and a container cap fixing the discharge pump and the inner container to the outer container, wherein the pump cap includes a guide bushing detachably fitted into the inner periphery of the inner neck portion of the inner container to guide coupling of the piston housing, a coupling sleeve detachably coupled to the outer periphery of the inner neck portion of the inner container at a predetermined interval from the outer diameter of the guide bushing, a cap flange connecting the coupling sleeve and the upper end of the guide bushing, and a shoulder brim extended along the periphery of the cap flange and mounted on the upper end of the outer neck portion of the outer container.
[0009] The above discharge pump may include a piston housing having a disk coupled to the inner circumference of the guide bushing to control the flow of liquid contents stored in the contents container, a pump piston coupled to the inner circumference of the piston housing so as to be able to rise and fall, a valve coupled to the pump piston to discharge liquid contents introduced into the disk, a push button having a nozzle to press the valve to discharge liquid contents, and a spring to restore the push button.
[0010] At this time, a licker may be provided on the bottom surface of the piston housing to release the sealing portion that seals the lower end of the guide bushing by poking it.
[0011] A space ring may be provided on the lower edge of the cap flange to maintain a joint gap with the inner circumference of the outer neck of the outer container.
[0012] According to the present invention implemented by the above-described solution, unlike the prior art, the contents container and the pump cap are not connected by screws but by pressing, so that the user can easily replace the contents container by refilling it with a new one when using it, and the existing commercialized contents container prototype can be changed to the press-fit method when refilling by simply attaching the pump cap, so that the manufacturing cost is reduced and compatibility is excellent, and when the discharge pump is connected to the pump cap, the freaker pierces the lower sealing part of the guide bushing to release the seal, so that the convenience of use can be improved, which is a very useful effect.
