Rotating-Cap Dual Mixing Container for Simple Content Blending
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing dual content mixing containers are inconvenient to use and may result in incomplete mixing due to the need for multiple containers, leading to resource waste and potential chemical changes or spoilage, as well as residue issues with sealing members affecting the external appearance.
Innovation Solution
A dual content mixing container design where a rotating cap operates to move a sealing member downward, allowing for simple mixing of second contents from a storage chamber with first contents in a main container body, featuring a pump support body, pressurizing member, and button member for efficient content discharge.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a button part is pressed downwards to move the sealing member and mix contents, then mixing function is achieved, but user convenience deteriorates due to complex operation steps
Solution Approach 1:
The patent inverts the conventional operation logic by using a rotating cap instead of a downward-pressing button. The cap rotates to drive the sealing member downward through a different mechanical pathway, simplifying the user's interaction from a multi-step pressing sequence to a simple rotational motion that naturally triggers the mixing process.
Solution Approach 2:
The rotation cap performs preliminary action by pre-positioning the sealing member and coordinating the movement sequence before actual mixing occurs. The rotational motion prepares the internal components and initiates the cascade of movements that lead to content mixing, reducing the user's operational burden.
2Reliability
If residue remains in the sealing ring after removal, then the sealing mechanism functions, but external appearance deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the sealing ring from the visible external area and relocates it to the internal structure where it remains functional but invisible. The sealing member is repositioned within the container body, separating its functional role from the external aesthetic appearance, thereby eliminating the visual impact of residue while preserving sealing reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary structure that mediates between the sealing function and external appearance. The sealing mechanism is transferred to an internal position where it acts as an intermediary between the contents and the container environment, no longer directly affecting the external visual appearance while maintaining its sealing function.
3Stability of the object's composition
If multiple separate containers are used for different contents, then content separation is maintained, but user convenience and resource efficiency deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple content storage functions into a single integrated container structure. Different contents are stored in separate compartments within the same container body, allowing users to handle one container instead of multiple separate ones, thereby improving convenience while maintaining content separation through internal partitioning.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies a nested structure where smaller content compartments are nested within the larger container body. This allows multiple contents to be housed in a hierarchical arrangement, enabling users to manage all contents through a single container while preserving the stability and separation of each content type through the nested compartment design.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
Enables convenient mixing of two types of contents with minimal user effort, preventing residue issues and ensuring complete mixing while maintaining a clean appearance.
Implementation Method 1
a pair of sloped portions corresponding each other is formed as encircling the inner cap on upper portion of the main container body; with a pair of descending guide protrusions equipped on upper portion of the pair of sloped portions, the pressurizing member moves along the sloped portions by rotation, lowering the sealing member

AI summary
The present invention relates to a dual content mixing container, and the dual content mixing container according to the present invention is constituted in such a way that a second content substance housed in a storage chamber is mixed with a first content substance housed in a main container body by moving a hermetically sealing member downwards by means of action whereby a rotating cap is rotated, and thus the invention affords convenience to the user as the first and second content substances can be mixed by means of a simple action.
