Description

Straw-type lid with topper fixing mechanism

[0001] The present invention relates to a straw-type lid having a topper fixing means, and more particularly, to a straw-type lid having a lid body that is fixed to the upper part of a container body containing a beverage, a straw that protrudes upward from the upper surface of the lid body, and a topper that is fixed to the end of an extension band that extends from the side of the lid body, which are integrally formed, a fixing protrusion that is provided on the side of the lid body to fix the topper when the straw is used, and a topper fixing means that is provided with a protrusion insertion hole that is inserted into and fixed to the fixing protrusion of the extension band.

[0002] Typically, straw-type caps or straw-type caps are used for babies weaned from formula, and are attached to a cup or beverage container with a lid that incorporates a nipple or straw. These straw-type caps are sealed using a cover that folds over the straw to prevent the liquid contained inside the cup from leaking out, or they use a stopper that attaches to the top of the straw.

[0003] And, cup containers that are combined with straw-shaped lids often have handles that babies can grip with their hands.

[0004] As a related prior art, Korean Patent No. 10-2162890 (registration date September 28, 2020) discloses a 'straw unit and a straw cup for infants including the same'.

[0005] The above-mentioned prior art is characterized in that a backflow prevention rib is formed on a straw nipple that a baby uses to drink a beverage, and the backflow prevention rib has a reinforcing portion in which the lower part around the cut surface protrudes downward; and an indented portion in which the upper part around the cut surface is recessed downward.

[0006] However, the above-mentioned conventional technology had a problem in that it was difficult to prevent the contents contained in the cup body from leaking out when there was an external impact or when the cup body was tipped over, even though it was equipped with a backflow prevention rib and a separate cover.

[0007] Meanwhile, straw cups are containers used by infants, and parents often wash or boil them for sterilization. To protect children from environmental hormones generated during high-temperature processing, lids and cup bodies made of materials harmless to the human body, such as silicone, are being used.

[0008] Recently, cups with toppers in the shape of animals or characters that help with children's emotional development and provide fun are being sold mainly with a straw top to increase airtightness. However, these toppers have the problem of being separate from the lid and a high risk of being lost during frequent washing. In addition, even when the topper is integrated with the lid, the weight of the topper can hit a child's eyes or face when drinking while lying down, which does not completely resolve safety issues.

[0009] The present invention was created to solve the problems of the prior art as described above, and the object of the present invention is to provide a straw-type lid that is used by being coupled to the upper part of a container body, wherein a topper that is coupled to the upper part of the straw to seal it is integrally provided, and an extension band that extends to allow the topper to be coupled to the side of the lid, and a fixing protrusion that protrudes outward to allow the protrusion insertion hole of the extension band to be fitted, thereby safely fixing the topper when consuming a beverage while lying down, and providing a topper fixing means that can prevent the topper from hitting the face.

[0010] The present invention was created to solve the problems of the prior art as described above, and the object of the present invention is a straw-type lid having a straw portion formed on the upper surface through which a beverage contained in a container body is withdrawn, the lid comprising: a lid body having a body insertion portion formed on the lower surface thereof and recessed upward to be inserted into the upper end of the container body; a straw nipple extending upwardly on one side of the upper surface of the lid body; and a topper extension band having a topper extended outwardly from an outer surface of the lid body opposite to the straw nipple and coupled to an upper end of the straw nipple at an end thereof;

[0011] The outer surface of the lid body is characterized in that a fixing protrusion extends outward, and a protrusion insertion hole is formed on one surface of the topper extension band so that the fixing protrusion can be inserted.

[0012] The above body insertion part has an inner sealing piece that is in close contact with the upper inner surface of the container body, and an outer surface opposite to the inner sealing piece, and is provided with a body outer extension piece that extends further downward.

[0013] The inner lower part of the outer extension piece of the main body is characterized in that a detachment prevention step is formed that protrudes inward to be caught in a bottle neck groove formed in the bottle neck of the main body of the container.

[0014] The outer lower portion of the above main body outer extension piece is characterized by a pair of handle pieces extended outward so that the lid body can be held by hand when attached or detached.

[0015] The upper surface of the above lid body is characterized by having an air inlet formed at the bottom, which is recessed downward to allow outside air to enter when the beverage contained in the container body is withdrawn, and an outside air inlet hole cut in the shape of a cross is formed at the bottom.

[0016] The outer end of the above-mentioned fixed projection is characterized in that a grooved engaging protrusion extending in both directions is formed so that the outer surface forming the above-mentioned protrusion insertion hole is engaged.

[0017] The lower outer surface of the inner sealing piece is characterized by having an inclined surface extending in an inward downward direction so as to be in close contact with the inner surface of the container body.

[0018] In this way, the sucker-type lid equipped with the topper fixing means according to the present invention has the following effects.

[0019] First, the topper that opens and closes the straw is connected to the topper extension band and is integrated into the lid that is connected to the upper part of the container body that contains the beverage contents, so it is easy to manage as the risk of loss is lower than that of a lid with a detachable topper.

[0020] Second, since the protrusion insertion hole formed in the above-mentioned topper extension band and the fixing protrusion to which the protrusion insertion hole is connected are provided on the outer extension piece of the main body, the topper can be used stably by preventing it from hitting the face when used while lying down.

[0021] Third, the main body insertion part is composed of an inner sealing piece and a main body outer extension piece, and a detachment prevention step and a handle piece are provided at the bottom of the main body outer extension piece, so that the lid body detachably connected to the container body can be easily released.

[0022] Fourth, the lower outer surface of the inner sealing piece is configured as an inclined surface so that it adheres closely to the container body, thereby enabling the contents of the container body to be stably sealed and stored.

[0024] Figure 2 is a perspective view of a straw-shaped lid equipped with a topper fixing means according to the present invention.

[0025] Figure 3 is a drawing showing the bottom surface of a straw-shaped lid according to the present invention.

[0026] Figure 4 is a drawing showing a state in which a topper extension band provided in a straw-shaped lid according to the present invention is fixed to a fixing projection.

[0027] Figure 5 is a cross-sectional view of a straw-shaped lid according to the present invention combined with a container body.

[0028] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings.

[0029] The straw-type lid equipped with a topper fixing means according to the present invention is a straw-type lid having a straw portion formed on the upper surface through which a beverage contained in a container body (B) is withdrawn, as illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 5. It is preferable that the container body (B) and the lid be made of a material that does not emit environmental hormones even at high temperatures.

[0030] And, the lid is mainly composed of a lid body (10) having a body insertion portion (11) formed at the bottom thereof, which is recessed upward to be inserted into the upper end of the container body (B), a straw nipple (20) extending upwardly is formed on one side of the upper surface of the lid body (10), and a topper extension band (30) is provided, which extends outward from the outer surface of the lid body (10) opposite the straw nipple (20) and has a topper (31) coupled to the upper end of the straw nipple (20) at its end. Meanwhile, a straw groove (H) recessed upwardly inwardly is provided on the lower surface of the topper (31) so as to be inserted while wrapping around the outer surface of the straw nipple (20).

[0031] Here, a fixing projection (12) protruding outward is extended from the outer surface of the lid body (10), and a projection insertion hole (32) is formed on one surface of the topper extension band (30) so that the fixing projection (12) can be inserted therein, so that when the contents contained in the container body (B) are consumed, the topper extension band (30) is inserted into the fixing projection (12) and fixed.

[0032] That is, as the topper extension band (30) is fixed to the fixing projection (12), the topper (31) connected to the end of the topper extension band (30) is also fixed.

[0033] And, the main body insertion part (11) is provided with an inner sealing piece (11a) that is in close contact with the upper inner surface of the container body (B), and a main body outer extension piece (11b) that forms an outer surface opposite to the inner sealing piece (11a) and extends downwards. Here, the main body outer extension piece (11b) forms the outer surface of the lid body (10) and is provided to extend downwards longer than the inner sealing piece (11a).

[0034] Here, a detachment prevention step (13) protruding inwardly is formed on the inner lower part of the main body outer extension piece (11b) to be caught in the bottle neck groove (B1) formed in the bottle neck of the container body (B), thereby making the state in which the lid body (10) is coupled to the container body (B) secure. In addition, it is preferable that the lid body (10) is made of a material that is easy to stretch, such as silicone.

[0035] In addition, a pair of handle pieces (14) are extended outwardly to the outer lower part of the main body outer extension piece (11b) so that the lid body (10) can be held by hand when attached or detached, thereby enabling the lid body (10) to be detached after use and easily washed.

[0036] Meanwhile, an air inlet (15) is formed on the upper surface of the lid body (10) so that outside air can be drawn in when the beverage contained in the container body (B) is taken out, and an outside air inlet hole (15a) cut in a cross shape is formed at the bottom, thereby allowing the baby to easily consume the contents through the straw nipple (20).

[0037] In addition, a grooved engaging protrusion (12a) extending in both directions is formed on the outer end of the fixed protrusion (12) so that the outer surface forming the protrusion insertion hole (32) is engaged, thereby stably placing the topper (31) coupled to the topper extension band (30) and making it convenient to use.

[0038] In addition, the lower outer surface of the inner sealing piece (11a) is formed with an inclined surface (111) extending in an inward downward direction so as to be in close contact with the inner surface of the container body (B), thereby preventing the contents from leaking out through the body insertion portion (11).

[0039]

[0040] The operation of the straw-shaped lid equipped with a topper fixing means according to the present invention having the above configuration is as follows.

[0041] In the straw-type lid according to the present invention, a straw tip (20) protrudes upward from a region tilted to one side on the upper surface of the lid body (10), a topper extension band (30) extends to the body outer extension piece (11b) facing the straw tip (20), and a topper (31) is coupled to an end thereof. In addition, a fixing protrusion (12) protrudes outward at a point on the body outer extension piece (11b) near the topper extension band (30), thereby fixing the protrusion insertion hole (32) of the topper extension band (30).

[0042] That is, the distance between the fixed projection (12) and the topper extension band (30) is formed so that the extension length of the topper extension band (30) is formed closer, so that the topper extension band (30) can be easily fixed to the fixed projection (12). In addition, in order to prevent the topper (31) from shaking or coming off while the topper extension band (30) is fixed, a grooved engaging protrusion (12a) protruding on both sides is formed at the end of the fixed projection (12), so that the topper extension band (30) is fixed more safely.

[0043] In addition, since the above-mentioned protrusion insertion hole (32) must be formed through the topper extension band (30), the cross-section of the topper extension band (30) is generally configured in a rectangular shape, but is not necessarily limited thereto.

[0044] Meanwhile, the air inlet (15) of the lid body (10) prevents the beverage from leaking out as the internal pressure decreases when the user consumes the beverage. That is, outside air is supplied through an outside air inlet hole (15a) cut in a cross shape at the bottom of the air inlet (15), thereby facilitating the supply of the beverage.

[0045] In addition, the body insertion part (11) of the lid body (10) coupled to the upper part of the container body (B) is provided with an inner sealing piece (11a) and a body outer extension piece (11b). At this time, the body outer extension piece (11b) corresponds to the outer part of the lid body (10) and is formed with a thickness thicker than the inner sealing piece (11a) to maintain the outer shape.

[0046] In addition, the main body outer extension piece (11b) is further provided with a detachment prevention step (13) and a handle piece (14), thereby ensuring safety and convenience during use.

[0047] On the other hand, the inner sealing piece (11a) is configured to adhere to the inner surface of the container body (B) and has a lower end with a sloped surface (111) to prevent the contents from leaking out, thereby increasing the sealing force by increasing the contact surface with the container body (B).

[0048] In this way, the straw-type lid equipped with a topper fixing means according to the present invention prevents the topper from moving and hitting the face when the baby lies down and consumes the contents contained in the container body (B), and prevents the contents from leaking out even though it is easy to attach and detach from the container body (B), thereby increasing safety during use.

[0049] The present invention is not limited to the specific preferred embodiments described above, and anyone with ordinary skill in the art to which the present invention pertains can make various modifications without departing from the gist of the present invention claimed in the claims, and such modifications are within the scope of the claims.
