Also be provided with the film guiding piece 22 for distributing stacking product sheet material 24.The structure of film guiding piece, feature and annexation will more specifically describe after a while.

Container 10 (being lid 14 in this embodiment) has the restriction circle of central axis 28, the outer seal component 26 of outside tapered inclination.This taper straight down and stretch out (as shown in Figures 3 and 4) to the far-end of flange forming outer seal component 26.In other words, described far-end has larger diameter compared with the position on the far-end being positioned at the flange forming outer seal component 26.

Outer seal component 26 one of to be mounted in base and cover (for lid shown in figure) with fixing relation, and is arranged at least in part in the corresponding neighboring of pedestal that outer seal component is mounted thereon or lid.In this embodiment, outer seal component 26 and lid 14 are one, and are the parts that homogenous material is formed as shown in the figure.As an alternative, they can be parts separately, maybe can make in single injection mold with a blasting materials.

Container 10 (being pedestal 12 in this embodiment) also has the circle of restriction central axis (be also 28, because in this embodiment these two axis collinear when container closure), the sealing elements therein 30 of inside tapered inclination.Described taper straight up, extend inwardly to the sidewall 32 (as shown in Figures 3 and 4) of film guiding piece 22.In other words, as shown in Fig. 1,3 and 4, sidewall 32 has less diameter (compared with the diameter in the sealing area below top corner part) at top corner part place.

The angle of the tapered inclination shown in figure is only example, and if the material used compared with polypropylene firmly, that if the size of softer or more flexible or less elasticity or packing element is configured such that they have more or less ground is flexible or according to the friction coefficient between packing element 26 and 30 or because other factors, described angle can change.

Sidewall 32 does not need from bottom tapered to top, and the flange limiting outer seal component 26 does not need from bottom tapered to top yet.As long as the part that sealing elements therein 30 and outer seal component 26 are engaged with each other is taper, thus be convenient to make their wedgings together just enough to form sealing.

Sealing elements therein 30 to be mounted to fixing relation relative to outer seal component 26 another (being pedestal here) in base and cover, and is arranged at least in part in the corresponding neighboring 18 of the parts that sealing elements therein is mounted thereon.In the embodiment shown, sealing elements therein 30 is the outer top of film guiding piece 22 (it is the part of separating with pedestal 12).In an alternative embodiment, sealing elements therein 30 and pedestal 12 can be one or make in single injection mold with a blasting materials.Alternatively, cover, the packing element be installed in lid, pedestal, be installed on packing element in pedestal and hinge any one or more be made up of identical material.Alternatively, they can be all made up of identical material, and described material is without the need to enough soft with the packing ring forming routine.Thus, material can be rigidity substantially.Can not bend significantly normal use during container 10.Alternatively, cover, the packing element be installed in lid, pedestal, be installed on packing element in pedestal and hinge any one or more or to be allly made up of polypropylene.

Sealing elements therein and outer seal component are positioned in when base and cover closes and engage with one heart, to make the surface of inside tapered inclination together with the surperficial wedging of outside tapered inclination and to form sealing.Sealing elements therein and outer seal component 30 and 26 to be positioned in when base and cover is opened (namely two axis overlap substantially as illustrated in the drawing) with one heart and to depart from the separately surface of inside tapered inclination and the surface of outside tapered inclination.Sealing elements therein and outer seal component 30 and 26 from top to the sealing of bottom or length of contact relatively short, so very little relative to departing from of concentricity during pedestal 12 pivotable at lid 14.Another favourable part is when lid 14 is opened pivotally, allows the transverse direction " play " existed on the direction vertical with axis 28 in hinge 16 to a certain degree, and lid 14 and pedestal 12 can keep almost concentric when packing element 26 and 30 points are opened like this.This realizes in the hinge of one by such as under type: the narrow cross-section extending hinge folding place; Make the folding part of hinge thinner or more weak; Integral hinge that is longer, similar band is provided; Or alternate manner well known in the prior art.

Alternatively, as in this specification limit, sealing elements therein and outer seal component 30 and 26 are configured to provide moisture seal.Alternatively, as in this specification limit, sealing elements therein and outer seal component 30 and 26 are configured to seal again.

Be back to now film guiding piece 22.Film guiding piece 22 has sidewall or external flange 32 and inner flange 34 (shown in Fig. 4), and inner flange 34 is concentric with external flange 32 in this embodiment, but non-essentially wants with one heart.Flange is connected by circular connecting panel 36.Connecting panel 36 has distribution openings 38 and suspension antelabium 40.

Pedestal 12 has specific feature, and these specific features coordinate with film guiding piece 22, to be defined for the distributing box of the stacking sheet material 24 in container 10.Pedestal 12 has: round flange 42; Limit the recessed portion 44 on the slope of rising from left to right as shown in Figure 4; And stopper section 46, stopper section 46 is used for the desired location limited by stacking product 24 on the slope.Additional stopper section (not shown) can be set at the sidepiece of stacking product, to limit its position further.

Fig. 4 is the decomposition view of container 10, and especially film guiding piece 22 is illustrated as the parts of separation, is positioned at above its assembling position.When film guiding piece 22 drops to assembling position, its inside and outside flange 32 and 34 receives the flange 42 of pedestal 12, and flange 32 and 34 any one or both engage with flange 42 so that by film guiding piece 22 relative to pedestal 12 fastened in place.This will contribute to film guiding piece 22 to be accurately positioned fixed position relative to pedestal 12, so sealing elements therein and outer seal component 30 and 26 will suitably coordinate.Flange 32,34 and 42 needs to be complementary, but without the need to being circular, but they can be circular, and if if required, they can limit the sealing elements therein and outer seal component that are similar to sealing elements therein and outer seal component 30 and 26.This is useful for needing inner sealing container or film guiding piece 22 in outer sealed container as the situation of the lid of container.

In addition, when film guiding piece 22 drops to assembling position, the antelabium 40 of inclination can against the slope limited by recessed portion 44, the plate 36 and stopper section (such as 46) can be connected.This can be used for preventing stacking sheet material 24 from lateral position occurring and slide.In the container assembled, when lid 14 is opened, user inserts finger by distribution openings 38, and the stacking sheet material 24 of topmost is adhered to finger, and this topmost sheet material is along suspending the inclined upper surface upward sliding of antelabium 40 to distribute the stacking sheet material of this topmost.This motion can be carried out distributing other sheet material repeatedly.Sheet material can be edible, such as, and the dissolving sheet material of breath freshening compound.

Other distribution means can also be set.Such as, film guiding piece 22 can be omitted, flange 42 can extend further with when container 10 closes against lid 14, and flange 26 and 42 can interact as sealing elements therein and outer seal component; Or flange 26 can extend further with when container 10 closes against pedestal 12, and flange 26 and 42 can interact as sealing elements therein and outer seal component.So tablet to be allocated, capsule, cosmetic muffin, powder, breast frost or gel or other article or material to be placed in flange 42 and to be delimited by the connecting panel of pedestal 12 and lid 14.

With reference to Fig. 5-9, show the alternate embodiment of the container with child safety feature.In this embodiment, sealing elements therein 130 and outer seal component (not shown) similar in shape, and with sealing elements therein 30 shown in Fig. 1-4 and the similar mode effect of outer seal component 26, with pedestal 112 and lid 114 closed time form sealing.But pedestal 112 has the substitutions of elements coordinated with film guiding piece 122 film guiding piece 122 to be fastened on relative to pedestal 112 its fixed position.These substitutions of elements comprise multiple locating dowel pin 150 be installed on pedestal 112, such as four locating dowel pins 150, sell in the respective recess that to be installed on when film guiding piece 122 drops to its assembling position on pedestal 112 on the lower surface of film guiding piece.Locating dowel pin makes film guiding piece 122 remain in fixed position relative to pedestal 112.

The child safety feature 152 used in this embodiment is formed by flexible plastic material and comprises locking mechanism (entirety illustrates with 154), and at least one thrust portion (being depicted as two thrust portion 156 here), each thrust portion on every side of child safety feature.When covering closed, locking mechanism engages so that by lid lock to pedestal 112 with the stop component 170 on lid 114.When pressing thrust portion, as shown in FIG. 8 and 9, locking mechanism discharges from stopping part thus allows lid to open, and this point incites somebody to action specific explanations below.Be provided with spring 158 explicitly with each thrust portion 156, when pressing thrust portion, spring 158 is deflected by thrust portion 156.This action makes spring produce biasing force, and when discharging the pressure on thrust portion, this biasing force makes thrust portion 156 return and causes its initial position.

As shown in Figure 6, child safety feature 152 can be mounted on base plate 160, and then base plate 160 can be connected to pedestal 112.Alternatively, child safety feature can be incorporated into pedestal 112.Pedestal 112 is provided with notch 162 to receive each thrust portion 156 when child safety feature 152 and base plate 160 are assembled to pedestal 112 on every side of pedestal.When assembling, thrust portion 156 projects outwardly through notch 162 from the sidewall of pedestal 112.

Locking mechanism 154 projects through the opening 155 in pedestal 112 and comprises at least one locking part 164 (being depicted as two locking parts 164 here) with ventricumbent abutting part 166.In this case, " downwards " is meant to the direction that away from cover 114 is opened, and without the need to the orientation of reference container relative to its periphery.Each locking part 164 engages with the stopping part 170 (being depicted as two stopping parts 170 here) from lid 114 to downward-extension.Each stopping part has supine abutting part 172, and abutting part 172 receives the prone abutting part 166 of locking part 164 to be locked on pedestal 112 by lid 114 when lid 114 is in its make position on pedestal 112.In this case, " upwards " is meant to the direction of opening towards lid 114, and without the need to the orientation of reference container relative to its periphery.

In order to separate locking closure 114 and open container, user inwardly presses thrust portion 156 towards container.This action causes each prone abutting part 166 in each locking part 164 to move away from each stopping part 170 departs from stopping part 170 towards upper abutting part 172 to make locking part 164.Once locking part departs from stopping part, lid 114 just can be opened.Pressure on release thrust portion 156 makes each spring 158 force each thrust portion to be back to its initial position outwardly.

Although child safety feature is depicted as be bonded to pedestal, expection child safety feature also can be incorporated in lid.In such an embodiment, locking mechanism can be positioned at and cover, and stop component can be positioned on pedestal.And although child safety feature is depicted as the container being incorporated into relatively flat, expection child safety feature also can be incorporated into the container of in fact any shape, as long as container uses pedestal, lid and lid is hinged to the hinge of pedestal.
