Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates generally to container caps allowing the addition of adjuncts and, more particularly, to a container cap, which includes a base cap member, which is coupled to an opening of a container and has an adjunct receiving part, an operational cap member, which is coupled to the upper end of the base cap member, and an openable sheet, which is the bottom of the adjunct receiving part and comprises a weight member having a diameter less than that of the adjunct receiving part and an openable sealing film attached to the lower surface of the weight member and to the open lower end of the adjunct receiving part.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- In the case of techniques disclosed in Korean Patent Application Nos. 10-2003-023243 and 10-2004-002154, there is inconvenience in which, after a band is removed, a cap is rotated in a clockwise direction to discharge an adjunct and is thereafter rotated in a counterclockwise direction to open a container. Furthermore, there is a problem in that the adjunct can undesirably solidify due to the permeation of moisture, gas pressure or physical action. In addition, there is no separate security band.
- In an effort to overcome the above problems, an improved container cap was proposed. In this container cap, two operations of adding an adjunct into contents and of opening a container are conducted merely by rotating a cap in a counterclockwise direction in a single motion in the same manner as a method of opening a typical container cap. Furthermore, in this technique, because an agitating shaft and an agitating rod are provided, even if the adjunct is dried or wet, the adjunct can be smoothly discharged. In addition, even if the container cap is excessively shaken, leakage is prevented. As well, the container cap is provided with a separate security band.
-
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an example of such a container cap.FIG. 2 is a sectional view showing the state of the container cap when it is marketed and sold. - Referring to the drawings, the conventional container cap includes a
base cap member 100, which is coupled to an opening of a container and has anopenable film 22 that prevents an adjunct from being undesirably discharged while the container is distributed and sold, anoperational cap member 300, which is rotatably coupled to thebase cap member 100, and an opening means. The opening means includes acutting blade 3, which is rotated and moved upwards or downwards by the rotation of theoperational cap member 300 to thus cut theopenable film 22, and anagitating shaft 4 and a plurality of agitatingrods 5, which agitate the adjunct when theoperational cap member 300 rotates. - Furthermore, an
internal thread 112, which is formed in thebase cap member 100, engages with anexternal thread 12 of thecontainer 13, so that the contents W1 are prevented from being undesirably discharged while distributed and sold. In addition, the inner surface of thebase cap member 100 extends a predetermined length from the inner edge of astep plate 129 in an axial direction, such that theoperational cap member 300 is movable upwards or downwards along the adjunct receiving part while closely contacting the inner surface of thebase cap member 100. Furthermore, theopenable film 22 and anopenable film holder 27, which prevent the adjunct W2 from being undesirably discharged while being marketed and sold, are provided on the inner and lower end of thebase cap member 100. Astop step 21 is provided on the upper surface of thestep plate 129, so that, when theoperational cap member 300 is moved all the way down, theoperational cap member 300 is fitted over thestop step 21 and thus firmly fastened to thebase cap member 100. - The
operational cap member 300 includes agrip 300B, which is rotatably provided on the upper surface of thestep plate 129, and aninternal thread 328, which engages with anexternal thread 128 formed on the outer surface of the upper end of thebase cap member 100. - Furthermore, the
cutting blade 3 of the opening means extends from the inner surface of theoperational cap member 300 to the upper surface of theopenable film 22, which is provided in the lower end of thebase cap member 100. Theagitating shaft 4 and theagitating rods 5 are provided in theoperational cap member 300 such that, when theopenable film 22 is opened by thecutting blade 3, even if the adjunct W2 is too dry or wet, the adjunct W2 can be easily discharged. Theagitating shaft 4 and the agitatingrods 5 are disposed at positions spaced apart from each other at angles of approximately 60°. - In addition, the
agitating shaft 4 is slightly shorter than thecutting blade 3, and protrudes from the inner surface of theoperational cap member 300 towards the center of theoperational cap member 300. Preferably, theagitating shaft 4 is integrally formed by injection molding. When theoperational cap member 300 is rotated and moved downwards, theagitating shaft 4 agitates the adjunct W2, such as powder or concentrated extract, which has dried out or been wetted, thus discharging the adjunct W2 more efficiently. - The agitating
rods 5 conduct a function similar to that of theagitating shaft 4. That is, theagitating rods 5, which are rotated and moved downwards along with theoperational cap member 300, extend in an inward radial direction a greater distance than does theagitating shaft 4, thus increasing the agitation range within which the adjunct, which has dried out or been wetted, is agitated. - The
openable film 22 is increased in thickness from the outer edge to the center thereof. As such, the outer edge of theopenable film 22 is relatively thin, so that thecutting blade 3 can easily cut theopenable film 22. When theopenable film 22 is cut, the adjunct W2 is easily discharged along the portion of theopenable film 22 which was inclined by being cut. - The
openable film holder 27, which is provided on a portion of theopenable film 22, is located at a position spaced apart from the position at which the operation of cutting theopenable film 22 starts by an angular amount of 330°. Furthermore, theopenable film holder 27 extends from the center of theopenable film 22 to the inner surface of thebase cap member 100, and is relatively thick and hard. Theopenable film holder 27 serves to prevent theopenable film 22 from being completely removed from thebase cap member 100. That is, when thecutting blade 3 rotates at 330° and thus cuts theopenable film 22, the rotation of theoperational cam member 300 is stopped by the contact of the lower end of theoperational cap member 300 with thestop step 21 of thebase cap member 100. At this time, theopenable film holder 27, which is coupled to the inner surface of thebase cap member 100, prevents the cutopenable film 22 from falling into the container. Thus, when the container cap is removed from the container, theopenable film 22 is also removed along with the container cap, and thus does not inconvenience the user who drinks the contents. - In detail, to drink the contents mixed with the adjunct W2, the user removes a
security band 6 from the container cap, and thereafter holds thegrip 300B and rotates theoperational cap member 300 in a counterclockwise direction. Then, theoperational cap member 300 is rotated and moved downwards and, simultaneously, thecutting blade 3, which is provided on the lower end of theoperational cap member 300, cuts theopenable film 22, which is provided on the lower end of thebase cap member 100. Thereby, the adjunct is mixed with the contents in the container. Because the container, such as PP, PET, etc., is transparent, the user can easily observe the mixing of the adjunct W2 with the contents W1. At this time, the user generally shakes the container to satisfy his/her impatience, thus accelerating the process of mixing the adjunct W2 with the contents W1. Here, the container cap of this technique makes it possible to mix the adjunct W2 with the contents W1 more stably in the reliably sealed state, compared to the prior container cap structures. Subsequently, theoperational cap member 300 is brought into contact with thestop step 21, and is fitted over thestop step 21 such that it is fastened to thebase cap member 100. When theoperational cap member 300 is rotated further in a counterclockwise direction, thebase cap member 100 and theoperational cap member 300 are rotated and moved upwards together. As a result, the container cap is completely removed from thecontainer 13, and the user can drink the contents mixed with the adjunct. - In addition, because the
base cap member 100 is held by thecontainer 13 through abase security band 24, thebase cap member 100 is prevented from being displaced before theoperational cap member 300 has completely moved downwards. When thebase cap member 100 is moved upwards and removed from thecontainer 13, thebase security band 24 naturally breaks. As such, thebase security band 24 of the present invention has the same function as that of a conventional security band, which is used for ensuring security. - However, in the conventional container cap described above, because an edge part of the openable film is relatively thin, and because a method, in which the thin edge part of the openable film is cut by rotation of the cutting blade of the operational cap member to add the adjunct into the contents, is used, there is the possibility of the permeation of air or moisture, which dries or wets the adjunct and thus spoils it, through the thin edge part of the openable film.
- Accordingly, the present invention has been made keeping in mind the above problems occurring in the prior art, and an object of the present invention is to provide a container cap in which a weight member and an openable sealing film, which constitute an openable sheet, are coupled to the lower end of an adjunct receiving part that stores an adjunct, the weight member having a diameter less than that of the adjunct receiving part, so that superior sealing ability is ensured, and the openable sheet can be easily cut through a band-shaped space defined between the weight member and the adjunct receiving part, and in which, because the weight member and the openable sealing film are integrated with each other, the openable sealing film is prevented from being cut to shreds, thus enhancing the reliability of the product.
- In order to accomplish the above object, the present invention provides a container cap allowing addition of an adjunct, and including a base cap member, which is a lower cap body coupled to a neck part of a container, an operational cap member, which is an upper cap body coupled to an upper end of the base cap member, an openable sheet provided on a lower end of one selected from the base cap member and the operational cap member, the openable sheet being cut to discharge the adjunct, and cutting means for cutting the openable sheet, the cutting means being provided in a remaining one selected from the base cap member and the operational cap member at a position corresponding to the openable sheet, wherein the openable sheet includes: a weight member having a diameter less than a diameter of an arc part of the openable sheet to be cut, with a connection rib connected between the weight member and a lower edge of an adjunct receiving part of the base cap member; and an openable sealing film for sealing both the lower edge of the adjunct receiving part and the weight member.
- The above and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will be more clearly understood from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:
-
FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view showing a conventional container cap allowing the addition of an adjunct; -
FIG. 2 is a sectional view showing the assembled container cap ofFIG. 1 ; -
FIG. 3 is a sectional view showing the operation of the container cap ofFIG. 1 ; -
FIG. 4 is a sectional view showing the operation of the container cap ofFIG. 1 ; -
FIG. 5 is a sectional view illustrating a container cap, according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention; and -
FIG. 6 is a sectional view of a critical part of the container cap of the present invention. - Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings.
-
FIG. 5 is a sectional view illustrating a container cap according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention.FIG. 6 is a sectional view of a critical part of the container cap of the present invention. - As shown in the drawings, the container cap of the present invention includes a
base cap member 100, which is coupled to an opening of a container, anoperational cap member 300, which is coupled to the upper end of thebase cap member 100 and acutting blade 3, and an openable sheet, which is the bottom of an adjunct receiving part 77-3. The openable sheet includes aweight member 77, which has a diameter less than that of an arc part, along which the bottom of the adjunct receiving part 77-3 is cut, at least one connection rib 77-2, which connects theweight member 77 to the lower edge of the adjunct receiving part 77-3, and anopenable sealing film 777, which seals both the lower edge of the adjunct receiving part 77-3 and theweight member 77. - Furthermore, a band-shaped space 77-1 is defined between the lower edge of the adjunct receiving part 77-3 and the circumferential outer edge of the
weight member 77, so that thecutting blade 3 of theoperational cap member 300 is moved along the band-shaped space 77-1 without resistance when a cutting process is conducted. - The connection rib 77-2, which is connected between the lower edge of the adjunct receiving part 77-3 and the circumferential outer edge of the
weight member 77, is provided in the band-shaped space 77-1. - Preferably, the
weight member 77 has an appropriate weight such that, when the openable sheet is opened, the weight member is integrally rotated downwards along with theopenable sealing film 777 around the connection rib 77-2, which serves as a hinge. Of course, because theopenable sealing film 777 is integrated with theweight member 77, theopenable sealing film 777 is prevented from being cut to shreds, thereby preventing part of theopenable sealing film 777 from falling into the contents in the container. - In the present invention having the above-mentioned construction, when a user moves the
cutting blade 3, which is integrally coupled to theoperational cap member 300, downwards using theoperational cap member 300, theopenable sealing film 77, which is exposed through the band-shaped space 77-1, defined between theweight member 77 and the lower edge of the adjunct receiving part 77-3 of thebase cap member 100, is easily cut by thecutting blade 3. As such, because theopenable sealing film 777 can be easily cut using only a relatively small force, an old person or a child can easily use the container cap of the present invention. - Furthermore, when the
cutting blade 3 cuts theopenable sealing film 777, which is attached to theweight member 77, along the band-shaped space 77-1, as shown inFIG. 7 , theweight member 77 and theopenable sealing film 777 are rotated together downwards around the connection rib 77-2, serving as the hinge, so that the adjunct falls outside the adjunct receiving part 77-3 through the opened band-shaped space 77-1 and is added into the contents in the container. - As such, because the
openable sealing film 777 is integrally attached to theweight member 77, when the part of theopenable sealing film 777 that corresponds to the band-shaped space 77-1 is cut, even if it is cut to shreds, the cut shreds of theopenable sealing film 777 maintain the state in which they are attached to theweight member 77, thus preventing the cut shreds of theopenable sealing film 777 from falling into the contents in the container and preventing the user from drinking foreign substances. - In addition, when cutting the
openable sealing film 777, theweight member 77 is rotated downards along with theopenable sealing film 777 around the connection rib 77-2 as the hinge. In other words, thanks to theweight member 77, serving as a weight, the openable sheet is smoothly opened, thereby the adjunct can be easily discharged from the adjunct receiving part 77-3. - Meanwhile, in the present invention, only one connection rib 77-2, which connects the
weight member 77 to the lower edge of the adjunct receiving part 77-3, need be provided in the band-shaped space 77-1. Alternatively, several connection ribs 77-2 may be provided at adjacent positions spaced apart from each other at regular angular intervals. That is, it is preferable that one or more connection ribs 77-2 be selectively provided, as necessary. - As described above, in a container cap according to the present invention, an openable sheet, which closes the open lower end of an adjunct receiving part, includes a weight member, which has a diameter less than the inner diameter of the adjunct receiving part such that a band-shaped space is coaxially defined between the weight member and the adjunct receiving part. Furthermore, both the weight member and the lower edge of the adjunct receiving part, which define the band-shaped space therebetween, are sealed by a separate openable sealing film, such as an aluminum film, thus providing the superior sealing ability unique to aluminum.
- In addition, the present invention is constructed such that the adjunct receiving part is opened by cutting part of the openable sealing film, which is exposed through the band-shaped space defined by the difference between the diameter of the weight member and the inner diameter of the adjunct receiving part. Therefore, the adjunct receiving part can be easily opened by only a relatively small force, so that even children can easily use the present invention. In other words, the present invention can be easily used without limitation of users.
- Furthermore, although the separate openable sealing film, such as an aluminum film, is used in the present invention, because the openable sealing film is integrally attached at the central portion thereof to the weight member, the openable sealing film is prevented from being cut into shreds, thus fundamentally preventing the user from suffering displeasure attributable to the presence of foreign substances when drinking the contents of the container, thereby ensuring the reliability of the product.
- Moreover, in the present invention, when the adjunct receiving part is opened to add the adjunct into the contents, the weight member and the openable sealing film, which are integrated with each other, are rotated downwards around the connection rib, which serves as a hinge. Thus, the user can directly observe the process of adding the adjunct into the contents. Therefore, the present invention stimulates the curiosity of consumers, thus arousing consumers' interest.
- Although the preferred embodiment of the present invention has been disclosed for illustrative purposes, those skilled in the art will appreciate that various modifications, additions and substitutions are possible, without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention as disclosed in the accompanying claims.
