Description
Rotating contents container with easy rotation control of the rotation module
[0001] The present invention relates to a rotary container for contents in which rotation of a rotary module is easily controlled, and more specifically, to a rotary container for contents in which the rotation angle of the rotary module of the main body can be easily known or the rotation of the rotary module can be easily controlled.
[0002] Generally, so-called stick-type cosmetics (bar-shaped cosmetics) formed in a bar or rod type are mounted on a holder located inside a main body having an opening. Such stick-type cosmetics are configured so that at least a portion of the holder is raised and lowered to be exposed outside the opening of the main body as a rotating module is rotated. At this time, the rotating module is rotatably coupled to the main body, and the amount of movement of the holder can be determined according to the amount of rotation of the rotating module relative to the main body. The amount of movement of the holder can correspond to the amount of movement of the contents, and thus, the degree of exposure of the contents can be determined according to the amount of rotation of the rotating module. The user needs to adjust the amount of rotation of the rotating module to control the degree of exposure of the contents to be used.
[0003] However, according to this method, there is a problem in that it is difficult for the user to accurately determine the amount of rotation of the rotation module, and when the rotation module is rotated relative to the main body, the rotation module cannot be fixed relative to the main body, which may cause the contents to move back into the interior of the main body while in use.
[0004] The present invention aims to solve the above problem by providing a contents container in which the amount of rotation of a rotation module can be easily known so as to allow the degree of exposure of the contents to be predicted.
[0005] Furthermore, we intend to provide a contents container configured such that when a certain amount of contents is exposed, the rotation module is prevented from rotating relative to the main body.
[0006] The technical problems of the present invention are not limited to those mentioned above, and other unmentioned technical problems will be clearly understood by those skilled in the art from the description below.
[0007] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a contents container is provided. The contents container comprises: a main body including a receiving portion in which a main body opening is formed to allow the contents to move, and a rotational adjustment portion extending from the receiving portion to the opposite side of the main body opening; a rotational module including an elastic body rotatably coupled to the main body and in contact with the rotational adjustment portion; and a holder configured to support the contents inside the main body and capable of moving up and down according to the rotation of the rotational module. The rotational adjustment portion has an engaging groove formed therein, and the elastic body includes a first elastic protrusion protruding so as to be received in the engaging groove. The rotational module is configured to be movable to a stop position in which rotation is restricted by the first elastic protrusion engaging in the engaging groove, and to a rotational position in which rotation is allowed by the first elastic protrusion being released from the engaging groove and undergoing elastic deformation.
[0008] The contents container according to the present invention has the advantage of facilitating rotational control of the rotation module. Specifically, the rotation module of the contents container of the present invention is formed with an interlocking groove having a step such that the rotation control part of the main body is pressed differently at two or more different rotation angles, thereby allowing the rotation of the rotation module to be easily controlled according to the pressure. Accordingly, the user can easily determine the rotation angle and the amount of rotation, and can easily adjust the degree of exposure of the contents.
[0009] In addition, the contents container of the present invention can prevent the rotation module from rotating relative to the main body at a predetermined rotation angle by ensuring that the first elastic protrusion is received in the interlocking groove at each predetermined rotation angle.

[0030] Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the contents described in the attached drawings. In addition, a method of configuring and using an apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the contents described in the attached drawings. Identical reference numbers or symbols presented in each drawing indicate parts or components that perform substantially the same function. For convenience of reference, the directions of up, down, left, and right described below are based on the drawings, and the scope of the present invention is not necessarily limited to these directions.

The terms are used solely for the purpose of distinguishing one component from another. For example, without departing from the scope of the present invention, the first component may be named the second component, and similarly, the second component may be named the first component. The term "and / or" includes a combination of multiple related items or any one of the multiple related items.
[0032] The terms used herein are for describing embodiments and are not intended to limit or / or restrict the invention. Singular expressions include plural expressions unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. In this specification, terms such as "comprising" or "having" are intended to indicate the presence of the features, numbers, steps, actions, components, parts, or combinations thereof described herein, and should be understood as not precluding the existence or addition of one or more other features, numbers, steps, actions, components, parts, or combinations thereof.
[0033] Throughout the specification, when it is stated that one part is connected to another part, this includes not only cases where they are directly connected, but also cases where they are indirectly connected with other components in between. Furthermore, when it is stated that a part includes a certain component, this means that, unless specifically stated otherwise, it does not exclude other components but may include additional components.
[0034] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a contents container (1) according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1(a) shows the contents container (1) before use. FIG. 1(b) shows the contents container (1) with the over cap (100) removed from the contents container (1) and the main body (300) rotated relative to the rotation module (RM) to expose the contents (2) in order to use the contents container (1).
[0035] Referring to FIG. 1, a contents container (1) according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described.
[0036] A container (1) for the contents (2) may be provided to accommodate the contents (2). The contents (2) may be, for example, cosmetics. However, it is not limited thereto, and the contents (2) may be other components requiring a container. However, for the convenience of explanation, the contents (2) are assumed to be cosmetics. Furthermore, in the following description, the cosmetics exemplified as contents (2) may be in a solid or semi-solid state. This is because the concept of the present invention can be applied more effectively if the contents (2) are prevented from deforming while moving, so it is desirable for the contents (2) to be difficult to deform. However, the contents (2) are not limited to a solid state, and the concept of the present disclosure can be applied even in cases where they are fluid. For the convenience of explanation, the contents (2) are assumed to be solid cosmetics in the following description.
[0037] The user can use the contents (2) by exposing or moving the contents (2) from the contents container (1). As a method of exposing or moving the contents (2) to the outside of the contents container (1), a method of rotating the contents container (1) may be used. More specifically, the contents container (1) may include a main body (300) and / or a rotation module (RM) rotatably coupled to the main body (300). The contents (2) may be received in the main body (300), and the main body (300) may have an opening formed therein for moving the contents (2). When the rotation module (RM) is rotated relative to the main body (300), or when the main body (300) is rotated relative to the rotation module (RM), the contents (2) may be moved upward and exposed to the outside of the contents container (1) through the opening formed in the main body (300), as shown in FIG. 1(b). At this time, since the rotation of the rotation module (RM) relative to the main body (300) is a movement that is relatively identical to the rotation of the main body (300) relative to the rotation module (RM), both may apply regardless of the expression. In the present invention, 'content container (1)' refers to a container capable of moving contents (2) by the rotation of a part of the container (e.g., rotation module (RM)), and can be defined with the same meaning as 'rotary content container (1)' capable of drawing out or drawing in contents (2) from the main body (300) by the rotation of the rotation module (RM).
[0038] Additionally, the contents container (1) may have a rectangular shape with rounded corners overall and a columnar shape with a cross-section extending in one direction. Accordingly, the main body (300) and / or the rotation module (RM) may also be provided to correspond to the overall shape of the contents container (1). For reference, the main body (300) may be made of plastic material. Furthermore, the rotation module (RM) may be formed as a single unit, but as described below, it may also be an assembly of multiple parts.
[0039] Additionally, the contents container (1) may include an over cap (100) to cover an opening formed in the main body (300). Thus, to use the contents (2) from the contents container (1), the over cap (100) can be removed and the main body (300) rotated relative to the rotation module (RM) to move the contents (2), as shown in FIG. 1(b). Additionally, the over cap (100) may be provided to correspond to the overall shape of the contents container (1). For reference, the over cap (100) may be made of plastic material.
[0040] This is explained in more detail below.
[0041] FIG. 2 is an exploded view of the contents container (1) illustrated in FIG. 1. At this time, each enlarged view illustrated in FIG. 2, starting from the one located at the top right and moving clockwise, is an enlarged cross-sectional perspective view of the rotating case (400), an enlarged view of the delivery member (500), an enlarged view of the lower cap (700), an enlarged view of the holder (200), and an enlarged view of the main body (300). FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the contents container (1) illustrated in FIG. 2. More specifically, FIG. 3(a) is a cross-sectional view taken along IIIa-IIIa' illustrated in FIG. 1. FIG. 3(b) is a cross-sectional view taken along IIIb-IIIb' illustrated in FIG. 1.
[0042] Referring to FIGS. 2 and 3, a contents container (1) according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described.
[0043] The contents container (1) may include an over cap (100), a holder (200) positionable inside the over cap (100), a main body (300) configured to accommodate the holder (200), and a rotation module (RM) rotatable with respect to the main body (300). In this case, the rotation module (RM) may include a rotation case (400) configured to form an outer surface, a transmission member (500) configured to transmit the rotational force of the rotation case (400) to the holder (200) to assist in the lifting and lowering of the holder (200), an elastic body (600) capable of elastic deformation between the rotation module (RM) and the main body (300), and a lower cap (700) configured to cover the lower side of the rotation case (400). The contents container (1) may omit the over cap (100) as needed. Furthermore, the rotating module (RM) may omit the rotating case (400), the transfer member (500), and the lower cap (700) as needed.
[0044] Based on FIG. 2, the over cap (100) may have a column shape with an opening formed on the lower side. The cross-section of the over cap (100) may have a shape in which the length direction is longer than the width. Accordingly, the rotation of the over cap (100) may be made visible to the user. The over cap (100) may be provided so that a space communicating with the opening is formed on the inner side. The over cap (100) may be configured to cover the main body opening (310A) of the main body (300) described above. The over cap (100) may be detachably coupled to the rotating case (400). More specifically, the over cap (100) may be coupled to the rotating case (400) by having a groove formed on the inner side to accommodate a projection protruding from the rotating case (400). Furthermore, the main body (300) may be accommodated in the space formed on the inner side of the over cap (100). By separating the over cap (100), the opening of the main body (300) is exposed, and the contents (2) can be exposed so that they can be moved and used through the opening of the main body (300).
[0045] The main body (300) may include a receiving portion (310) in which a main body opening (310A) is formed so that the contents (2) can move, and a rotational adjustment portion (320) extending from the receiving portion (310) to the opposite side of the main body opening (310A). As shown in FIG. 2, the receiving portion (310) may be located above the rotational adjustment portion (320), and the rotational adjustment portion (320) may be located below the receiving portion (310). The receiving portion (310) may have a space formed inside to accommodate a holder (200) described later. The receiving portion (310) may have a shape that is generally column-shaped, with an opening formed on the upper side and a space formed on the inner side. The receiving portion (310) may be received in the over cap (100) and may be formed to accommodate a plate portion (210) of a holder (200) described later. In other words, the cross-sectional area of the receiving portion (310) may be smaller than that of the over cap (100) and larger than that of the holder (200) described later. At this time, the over cap (100), the receiving portion (310), and the plate portion (210) of the holder (200) may have corresponding shapes. The rotation control portion (320) may have a tubular shape that extends substantially downward. The cross-section of the rotation control portion (320) may be substantially annular. A hollow formed inside the rotation control portion (320) may be in communication with a space formed inside the receiving portion (310). The rotation control portion (320) may have a diameter smaller than the width of the receiving portion (310). Accordingly, even when the rotation control portion (320) is received in the rotation case (400) described later, the outer surface of the over cap (100) and the rotation case (400) can be connected without a step.
[0046] The rotation control section (320) may have a concave guide sub-rail (321H) formed by extending circumferentially on the upper side. The guide sub-rail (321H) may be formed in an annular shape. The rotation control section (320) may include a separation rib (322) that protrudes outward from the lower side of the guide sub-rail (321H). The separation rib (322) may be formed in an annular shape. The separation rib (322) may support the guide section (630), which will be described later, from the upper side to guide the movement of the guide section (630). For this purpose, the separation rib (322) may protrude outwardly rather than inwardly from the guide sub-rail (321H). In other words, the guide sub-rail (321H) may be extended circumferentially while being spaced apart from the interlocking groove (325H). The rotation adjustment part (320) may include a protruding rib (324) that protrudes outwardly from the lower side of the separation rib (322). The protruding rib (324) may extend in the circumferential direction but may form only a part of an annular shape. Accordingly, an interlocking groove (325H) may be formed between a pair of opposing ends in the circumferential direction of the protruding rib (324). More specifically, the protruding rib (324) may form a pair of interlocking grooves (325H) located 180° opposite to each other.
[0047] The holder (200) is configured to support contents (2) inside the main body (300) and may be able to move up and down according to the rotation of the rotation module (RM). The holder (200) may include a plate portion (210) configured to support contents (2), a spiral (230) extending from the plate portion (210), and an end spiral portion (220) adjacent to the position where the spiral (230) and the plate portion (210) meet. A space for receiving contents (2) may be formed inside the plate portion (210). As shown in FIG. 3, the plate portion (210) may be configured to be received in the receiving portion (310) of the main body (300). Furthermore, the plate portion (210) may be supported by the inner upper surface of the receiving portion (310) to prevent downward movement. The spiral (230) may have the shape of a tube having a substantially hollow structure. The spiral (230) may extend downward from the lower side of the plate portion (210). The spiral (230) may have a diameter smaller than the width of the plate portion (210). Screw threads may be formed on the outer surface of the spiral (230). The spiral (230) may be inserted into the through hole (411H) and the inside of the transmission member (500), as shown in FIG. 3. The end spiral portion (220) may be located radially outward from the spiral (230). The end spiral portion (220) may have a shape of part of the screw thread. The end spiral portion (220) may have a surface with an incline on the lower side and a stepped flat surface at one end. The end spiral portion (220) may be configured to contact the end of the transmission member (500), as shown in FIG. 3.
[0048] The rotating case (400) may include a case body (410) having a support projection (412) provided on the inside, a through hole (411H) formed in the case body (410), an inner extension (420) extending downward to form the through hole (411H), and a sub-rail receiving projection (421) protruding from the inner extension (420). The case body (410) may form an outer surface. The case body (410) may have an opening formed on the lower side and may be formed so that its overall shape connects to the outer surface of the over cap (100). As shown in FIG. 3, the through hole (411H) may be formed so that the rotation adjustment part (320) of the main body (300) passes through it. To this end, the through hole (411H) may be formed to have a cross-section larger than the cross-section of the rotation adjustment part (320). By inserting the rotation control part (320) into the through hole (411H), the main body (300) is prevented from moving in the forward, backward, left, and right directions relative to the rotation case (400), and separation downward relative to the rotation case (400) can be prevented. Furthermore, the rotation case (400) can be coupled to the main body (300) so that it can rotate relative to the main body (300). The inner extension part (420) can be extended downward to form the outer surface of the through hole (411H). The insertion of the rotation control part (320) into the through hole (411H) can be guided by the inner extension part (420). The sub-rail receiving projection (421) can be extended from the end of the inner extension part (420) to the inside of the through hole (411H). If necessary, the sub-rail receiving projection (421) may be extended from a place other than the end of the inner extension part (420). The sub-rail receiving projection (421) can be received in the guide sub-rail (321H) as shown in FIG. 3(a). While the rotating case (400) is rotating relative to the main body (300), the sub-rail receiving projection (421) is inserted into the guide sub-rail (321H) to guide the rotational movement of the rotating case (400) relative to the main body (300).Furthermore, the sub-rail receiving projection (421) may be supported by a separation rib (322). The separation rib (322) may prevent the sub-rail receiving projection (421) from moving downward from the lower side of the sub-rail receiving projection (421). The movement of the sub-rail receiving projection (421) upward may be restricted by a part of the rotation adjustment part (320) located on the upper side of the guide sub-rail (321H). Accordingly, upward separation from the rotation case (400) of the main body (300) may be prevented. For reference, the support projection (412) may interact with the wing part (612) of the elastic body (600) described later to combine the rotation case (400) and the elastic body (600).
[0049] The transmission member (500) can be inserted into the through hole (411H) of the rotating case (400). The transmission member (500) can be extended vertically along the extension direction of the spiral (230) to accommodate the spiral (230). The transmission member (500) may have a hollow formed on the inside. The transmission member (500) may include an insertion part (510) forming a body, an end spiral corresponding part (511) located at the upper end, a spiral meshing projection (520) located on the inside, a fixing projection (530) protruding outward from the outer surface, a support projection protruding outward from the lower side, and / or a coupling projection (550) protruding outward from the lower side of the support projection. The end spiral corresponding part (511) may have a surface formed on the upper side of the transmission member (500). The end spiral corresponding part (511) may have a height variation with respect to the circumferential direction. As shown in FIG. 3, the end spiral corresponding portion (511) is supported by the end spiral portion (220) to prevent rotation beyond a specific rotation angle. The spiral meshing projection (520) may extend into the hollow of the transmission member (500). As shown in FIG. 3, the spiral meshing projection (520) meshes with the threads of the spiral (230) so that the spiral (230) may rise or fall depending on the rotation. As shown in FIG. 3, the fixing projection (530) is received in a groove formed inside the receiving portion (310) of the main body (300) to prevent separation between the transmission member (500) and the main body (300). The support rib (540) is formed in an annular shape and may protrude outward from the coupling projection (550). As shown in FIG. 3, the support rib (540) can come into contact with the upper part of the transmission member coupling portion (730) of the lower cap. Furthermore, the support rib (540) can support the receiving portion (310) of the main body (300) from the lower side. The coupling projection (550) can extend in the vertical direction. Furthermore, the coupling projection (550) can be provided in multiple numbers and arranged in the circumferential direction.The coupling projection (550) can be received in the coupling groove (731H) of the lower cap (700) described later to connect the transmission member (500) and the lower cap (700). For example, the coupling projection (550) may be provided as a pair located on opposite sides and received in a corresponding pair of coupling grooves (731H). As the pair of coupling projections (550) are each received in the pair of coupling grooves (731H), the rotation of the pair of coupling projections (550) can be fixed by the pair of coupling grooves (731H). Accordingly, the rotation of the transmission member (500) can be fixed relative to the lower cap (700). At this time, since the plurality of coupling projections (550) are arranged in the circumferential direction, the lower cap (700) and the transmission member (500) can be connected regardless of the direction in which the lower cap (700) and the transmission member (500) are connected.
[0050] The elastic body (600) can be accommodated in a rotating case (400). The elastic body (600) may have a guide hole (630H) (see FIG. 4) into which a rotation adjustment part (320) is inserted. The elastic body (600) can be mounted on a lower cap (700). The elastic body (600) will be described later with reference to FIG. 4 and below.
[0051] The lower cap (700) may be positioned on the lower side of the rotating case (400) to cover the lower opening of the rotating case (400). That is, the lower side of the rotating case (400) may be open, and the lower cap (700) may cover the open lower side of the rotating case (400). The lower cap (700) may be detachably coupled to the rotating case (400) so as to rotate together with the rotating case (400). The lower cap (700) may include an outer cap frame (720) located on the outside, an inner cap frame (710) located on the inner side of the outer cap frame (720), an elastic receiving groove (711H) formed between the inner cap frame (710) and the inner cap frame (710), and a transmission member coupling part (730) located on the inner side of the lower cap (700) than the inner cap frame (710). The outer cap frame (720) may include a portion extending upward. Furthermore, the outer cap frame (720) may be extended along the rim. The inner cap frame (710) may be extended upward. The inner cap frame (710) may be provided in pairs in the left and right directions. Accordingly, the elastic receiving groove (711H) formed between the inner cap frame (710) and the outer cap frame (720) may be provided in pairs. As shown in FIG. 3, the elastic (600) may be received in the elastic receiving groove (711H). That is, the inner cap frame (710) may be extended upward from the inner side of the outer cap frame (720) so that the elastic receiving groove (711H) for receiving the elastic body (610) is formed between the inner cap frame (720) and the outer cap frame (720). Accordingly, the lower cap (700) may be coupled with the elastic (600) so as to rotate together with the elastic (600). The transmission member coupling portion (730) may be formed substantially in an annular shape. A coupling groove (731H) may be formed on the inner side of the transmission member coupling portion (730). The coupling groove (731H) may be formed on the inner side of the transmission member coupling portion (730). Multiple coupling grooves (731H) may be provided and arranged along the circumferential direction.At this time, the coupling groove (731H) may be extended in the vertical direction so that the coupling projection (550) of the transfer member (500) is coupled to the coupling groove (731H). The number of coupling grooves (731H) may be formed to be greater than the number of coupling projections (550).
[0052] Additionally, the lower cap (700) can be separated from the rotating case (400) as shown in FIG. 3, and when the lower cap (700) is separated from the rotating case (400), the contents (2) can be refilled through the hollow formed inside the spiral (230).
[0053] The rotational movement of the contents container (1) will be explained further below.
[0054] As shown in FIG. 1, the contents (2) can be raised or lowered according to the relative rotation with respect to the main body (300) of the rotating module (RM).
[0055] The rotation module (RM) can be rotated together while rotating. The rotation case (400) and the lower cap (700) included in the rotation module (RM) can be coupled to rotate together, the elastic body (600) is inserted into the lower cap (700) and rotates together, and the coupling projection (550) of the transmission member (500) is inserted into the coupling groove (731H) of the lower cap (700) and rotates together with the lower cap (700).
[0056] While the rotation module (RM) is rotating, the spiral meshing projection (520) of the transmission member (500) meshes with the spiral (230) of the holder (200) and rotates relative to it, thereby causing the entire holder (200) to be raised and the contents (2) to be raised. At this time, the plate portion (210) of the holder (200) is received in the receiving portion (310) of the main body (300), so that rotation relative to the main body (300) may be restricted. Accordingly, the holder (200) can only perform a lifting motion while its rotation relative to the main body (300) is restricted.
[0057] At this time, if the rotation of the rotation module (RM) is made to be felt by touch, the amount of rotation can be easily known, and the user can easily know the degree of lifting of the contents (2). Below, an embodiment of the present invention capable of indicating the degree of rotation of the rotation module (RM) will be described.
[0058]
[0059] FIG. 4 is an exploded view showing only the main body (300) and the elastic body (600) of the contents container (1) shown in FIG. 1. FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing the rotation of the elastic body (600) relative to the main body (300) shown in FIG. 4. More specifically, FIG. 5(a) is a perspective view showing the state in which the elastic body (600) is not rotated relative to the main body (300). FIG. 5(b) is a perspective view showing the state in which the elastic body (600) is rotated 90° relative to the main body (300). FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view showing the main body (300) and the elastic body (600) shown in FIG. 5 cut along VI-VI. More specifically, FIG. 6(a) is a cross-sectional view showing the state in which the elastic body (600) is not rotated relative to the main body (300). FIG. 6(b) is a cross-sectional view showing the elastic body (600) rotated 90° relative to the main body (300).
[0060] With reference to FIGS. 4 to 6, the movement of the main body (300) and the elastic body (600) according to one embodiment of the present invention will be explained.
[0061] Referring to the previously mentioned details, as illustrated in FIG. 4, the main body (300) and the elastic body (600) can be combined with each other. More specifically, the main body (300) and the elastic body (600) can be combined by inserting the rotation control part (320) of the main body (300) into the guide hole (630H) of the elastic body (600). That is, the elastic body (600) can be rotatably coupled to the main body (300) and can come into contact with the rotation control part (320). To explain this in more detail, the main body (300) and the elastic body (600) will be described in more detail.
[0062] As previously mentioned, the main body (300) may include a rotation adjustment part (320). The rotation adjustment part (320) may include or be formed with a guide sub-rail (321H), a separation rib (322), a protruding rib (324), and an interlocking groove (325H). For a detailed description, refer to the description above.
[0063] The elastic body (600) may include an elastic body (610) forming an outer surface, a first elastic protrusion (620) protruding toward a guide hole (630H) from the inner side of the elastic body (610), a protrusion supporter (629) connecting the first elastic protrusion (620) and the elastic body (610), a guide part (630) formed to be positioned opposite to the first elastic protrusion (620) and the rotation adjustment part (320) and / or a guide supporter connecting the guide part (630) and the elastic body (610).
[0064] The elastic body (610) may have a shape corresponding to the rotating case (400) so as to be accommodated in the rotating case (400). The elastic body (610) may be provided such that the length direction of the cross-section is longer than the width direction. More specifically, the elastic body (610) may have a shell shape with a constant thickness and a hole formed on the inside. The cross-section of the elastic body (610) may have a rectangular edge shape with rounded corners. Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 5, the elastic body (610) may be provided so that it can be easily recognized when rotated relative to the main body (300).
[0065] The elastic body (610) may include a wing portion (612). The wing portion (612) may protrude outward from the upper side of the elastic body (610). More specifically, the wing portion (612) may be located at the top of the elastic body (610) and provided as a pair on the left and right sides, respectively. The wing portion (612) may form the upper edge of the elastic body (600). The wing portion (612) may come into contact with the inner wall of the case body (410). Accordingly, when the rotating case (400) is rotated, the wing portion (612) is pressed by the rotating case (400), so that the elastic body (600) can rotate together with the rotating case (400).
[0066] The wing portion (612) can be covered by the upper part of the case body (410) located above the wing portion (612). The upper part of the case body (410) can support the wing portion (612) from above the wing portion (612). The wing portion (612) can be supported by a support projection (412) of the rotating case (400) located below the wing portion (612). That is, the wing portion (612) can be supported from both sides by the upper part of the case body (410) and the support projection (412), thereby restricting its movement. In particular, when the elastic body (600) is received from the lower side of the rotating case (400) into the inner side of the rotating case (400), the wing portion (612) elastically deforms the support projection (412) and forcibly passes through it, positioning itself between the support projection (412) and the upper part of the case body (410) so that it can be mounted on the rotating case (400). However, the positions of the case body (410) and the support projection (412) relative to the wing portion (612) are not limited to the upper and lower sides of the wing portion (612) as needed, but can be changed and applied to a position that fixes the wing portion (612).
[0067] The elastic body (610) may include a recess portion (611) that forms a recess space (611S) that is concave downward at the front or rear. The recess space (611S) may extend from the upper side toward the lower side beyond the protrusion and / or guide portion (630) described later. In other words, the recess space (611S) may be formed so that the cross section of the elastic body (610) is formed adjacent to the protrusion supporter (629). Accordingly, the movement of the protrusion or guide portion (630) toward the recess space (611S) may not be interfered with. Furthermore, the end of the elastic body (610) facing the recess space (611S) may be formed as a free end so as to allow movement of the protrusion supporter (629). At this time, the recess space (611S) may have a rectangular shape with rounded corners. Furthermore, the recess space (611S) can be provided as a pair at the front and rear.
[0068] The first elastic protrusion (620) may be configured to protrude toward the guide hole (630H) from the inside of the elastic body (610). More specifically, the first elastic protrusion (620) may protrude so as to be received in the interlocking groove (325H) formed in the rotation adjustment part (320). The position of the rotation module (RM) corresponding to the position of the elastic body (600) shown in FIGS. 5(a) and FIGS. 6(a) may be an example of the 'stop position' of the rotation module (RM), and the position of the rotation module (RM) corresponding to the position of the elastic body (600) shown in FIGS. 5(b) and FIGS. 6(b) may be an example of the 'rotation position' of the rotation module (RM). The rotation module (RM) may be configured to move to a stop position where rotation is restricted by the first elastic protrusion (620) engaging with the engagement groove (325H), and to a rotation position where rotation is allowed by the first elastic protrusion (620) being elastically deformed as it is disengaged from the engagement groove (325H). While the first elastic protrusion (620) is received in the engagement groove (325H), the first elastic protrusion (620) cannot easily disengage from the engagement groove (325H), so the user can easily detect the position and rotation of the rotation module (RM). As previously described, the rotation control part (320) may include a protruding rib (324) extending in the circumferential direction to form the engagement groove (325H). When the first elastic protrusion (620) disengages from the interlocking groove (325H), the first elastic protrusion (620) may be moved radially outward and elastically deformed. That is, the first elastic protrusion (620) may be configured to be elastically deformed by the protruding rib (324) while the rotation module (RM) is in a rotational position. Accordingly, when the first elastic protrusion (620) is received back into the interlocking groove (325H) from the protruding rib (324), the user can easily determine the amount of rotation of the rotation module (RM) by perceiving an impact or sound caused by a force that returns it radially inward.
[0069] At this time, the protrusion supporter (629) may extend from the inner surface of the elastic body (610) to the first elastic protrusion (620). The protrusion supporter (629) may extend toward each other from the inner side of the front or rear of the elastic body (610), then be bent and extended toward the protrusion. At this time, the starting point of the extension of the first elastic protrusion (620) may be located adjacent to the recess (611). Since the cross-section of the recess (611) is formed as a free end, the first elastic protrusion (620) is located adjacent to the cross-section of the recess (611), allowing it to move more freely and enabling free movement of the first elastic protrusion (620).
[0070] As previously mentioned, the guide portion (630) can form a guide hole (630H) into which the rotation adjustment portion (320) is inserted. The guide portion (630) can be provided to surround at least a portion of the guide hole (630H). The guide portion (630) can stably guide the rotation of the rotation module (RM) by supporting the protruding rib (324) while the rotation adjustment portion (320) is rotating.
[0071] The guide portion (630) may include a curved portion (631), a flat portion (632), and / or a second elastic protrusion (630a) corresponding to the first elastic protrusion (620). The curved portion (631) may have a curved surface on its inner surface corresponding to the protruding rib (324). Since the protruding rib (324) may be configured so that its cross-section includes at least a portion of a circle, the curved portion (631) can stably support the protruding rib (324) while the rotation module (RM) is rotated. The curved portion (631) may be located on the opposite side of the first elastic protrusion (620) with respect to the guide hole (630H). The curved portion (631) may be arranged to cover half of the circumference of the rotation control portion (320). The flat portion (632) extends from the curved portion (631) and may have a flat surface on its inner surface. The flat portion (632) may be provided as a pair so as to extend from each end of the curved portion (631). The ends of the pair of flat portions (632) may be provided as free ends. Accordingly, the flat portion (632) may be freely deformed even when pressed by the protruding rib (324). The second elastic protrusion (630a) may protrude from the curved portion (631) toward the first elastic protrusion (620) to an extent corresponding to the first elastic protrusion (620). The second elastic protrusion (630a) may be located on the opposite side of the first elastic protrusion (620) with respect to the rotation adjustment portion (320). Accordingly, when the first elastic protrusion (620) is received in one of the engagement grooves (325H) of the pair, the second elastic protrusion (630a) on the opposite side may be received in another engagement groove (325H). Accordingly, the stop position of the rotation module (RM) can be stably implemented.
[0072] The guide portion supporter (639) can extend from the inner surface of the elastic body (610) to the guide portion (630). More specifically, the guide portion supporter (639) can connect the curved portion (631) of the guide portion (630) with the elastic body (610). The content of the guide portion supporter (639) is adopted as is from the content of the protruding portion supporter (629), excluding the content that is arranged therein.
[0073] With reference to FIGS. 5 and 6, the relationship between the elastic body (600) and the main body (300) according to the rotation of the rotation module (RM) according to one embodiment of the present invention will be explained once again.
[0074] As illustrated in FIGS. 5(a) and FIGS. 6(a), when the rotation module (RM) is in a stationary position, the first elastic protrusion (620) and the second elastic protrusion (630a) can be received in a pair of interlocking grooves (325H).
[0075] An interlocking groove (325H) may be formed between a pair of protruding ribs (324). As shown in FIG. 4, the protruding ribs (324) may extend along the circumferential direction. The protruding ribs (324) may not extend along the entire circumference, but only along a part of the circumference, and a gap may be formed between the pair of protruding ribs (324). The interlocking groove (325H) may be defined as the gap formed in the pair of protruding ribs (324). However, if necessary, the protruding ribs (324) may be provided in a plurality of numbers, rather than just a pair.
[0076] At this time, the first elastic protrusion (620) or the second elastic protrusion (630a) may have a shape corresponding to the interlocking groove (325H) or the protruding rib (324) adjacent to the interlocking groove (325H). Accordingly, the first elastic protrusion (620) or the second elastic protrusion (630a) may be interlocked at a position corresponding to the interlocking groove (325H), thereby temporarily fixing the rotation. The user can detect that the first elastic protrusion (620) or the second elastic protrusion (630a) is received in the interlocking groove (325H) and that the rotation is temporarily fixed, thereby detecting the relative amount of rotation between the main body (300) and the elastic body (600).
[0077] As illustrated in FIGS. 5(b) and FIGS. 6(b), when the rotation module (RM) is in a rotational position, the first elastic protrusion (620) and the second elastic protrusion (630a) are disengaged from a pair of interlocking grooves (325H) and are pressed radially outward by the protruding rib (324), thereby allowing the flat portion (632) to be elastically deformed radially outward. At this time, while the rotation module (RM) is rotating, the protruding rib (324) can be guided to rotate by the curved portion (631). Furthermore, while the rotation module (RM) is rotating, the guide portion (630) is supported by the separation rib (322) to guide movement, and the sub-rail receiving projection (421) of the rotation case (400) can be received by the guide sub-rail (321H) and rotated. Again, when the rotation module (RM) is in a position where it is rotated 180°, the phenomenon described earlier with reference to FIG. 5(a) and FIG. 6(a) may occur.
[0078] As described above, the best embodiments have been disclosed in the drawings and specification. Specific terms have been used herein, but they are used only for the purpose of describing the invention and are not intended to limit the meaning or the scope of the invention as described in the claims. Therefore, those skilled in the art will understand that various modifications and equivalent alternative embodiments are possible therefrom. Accordingly, the true technical scope of protection of the invention should be determined by the technical spirit of the appended claims.
