DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION

Technical Problem

According to the technology disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 7,032,745 in the related art, the upper side of an accommodating part is pressed with a hand and is thus opened, which is significantly unhygienic. Even when a separate device is provided to press the upper side of the accommodating part, the accommodating part should be removed from the inside of a container spout part in order to drink a mixture contained in a container.

The technology of opening a cover of a main body and joining a cartridge type accommodating part to the main body needs a separate container, and the size of the main body including the cartridge type accommodating part is excessively increased.

To address these issues, according to the present invention, a main body is manufactured to be continually used within a predetermined, period of time, and an accommodating part is consumed in a cartridge manner. When the accommodating part is joined to a container spout part, while the main body is coupled to the container spout part, a storage space of the accommodating part is opened. At this point, a different type of material stored in the storage space falls into a container and undergoes a mixing process.

The accommodating part, accommodating the different type of material, is fixed to the container spout part of the container by using an adhering or coupling method. When the main body as a separate part is operated around the container spout part, the different type of material accommodated in the accommodating part falls into a container storage space and undergoes a mixing process.

Technical Solution

In one embodiment, an accommodating device includes an accommodating part that is disposed around a container spout part and coupled thereto and that has a storage space. As an opening part moves downward, an opening and closing hole of the accommodating part is opened. Upper and lower parts of the storage space disposed in the accommodating part are air-tightly sealed by a sealing part and a sealing part disposed under the accommodating part. The storage space of the accommodating part is opened by a main body disposed around the container spout part and coupled thereto. To this end, an upper part of the accommodating part is pushed downward, and thus, the opening part opens the opening and closing hole disposed under she opening part. To this end, a punching pin and a punching part are disposed on a bottom part of a main body spout pare of the main body. A material stored in the storage space of the accommodating part is discharged out of a container. To this end, a cap is formed above the main body to open and close a discharge hole of the main body spout part of the main body.

The accommodating device may include a main body spout part having a hinge type cover, or a one way check valve in the main body spout part, to discharge a mixture from the container without removing the main, body from the accommodating device.

The accommodating device may include a main body spout part, which is laterally raised or lowered, to discharge a mixture from the container without removing the main body from the accommodating device.

The accommodating device may include a discharge hole as a member for discharging a mixture contained in the container, and the discharge hole is an inner space of the opening part for opening the storage space in an accommodating part. When the main body is disposed around the accommodating part including the opening part and is coupled thereto, a different type of material fails from the storage space of the accommodating part and undergoes a mixing process. The mixture, which is formed through the mixing process, is discharged through both the discharge hole of the opening part and a main body spout part of the main body. The main body spout part an upward penetration member, and the shape thereof is variously changed.

The accommodating device may include a discharge hole as a member for discharging a mixture contained, in the container, and the discharge hole is an inner space of the opening part for opening the storage space in the accommodating part. When the main body is disposed around the accommodating part including the opening part and is coupled thereto, a different type of material fails from the storage space of the accommodating part and undergoes a mixing process. The mixture, which is formed through the mixing process, is discharged through both the discharge hole of the opening part and a main body spout part of the main body. The main body spout part is an upward penetration member, and the shape thereof is variously changed. Specifically, a mixture is discharged by various pump dispensers connected to a discharge hole.

When, the main body is coupled to the container sport part to discharge the different type of material stored in the storage space of the accommodating part, a punching part formed on a bottom portion of an upper surface part of the main body pushes the sealing part. At this point, the opening and closing hole closing the storage space of the accommodating part is opened.

The accommodating device may be configured such that when the main body is coupled to the container spout part to discharge a material stored in the storage space of the accommodating part, a punching part protruding upward from a sealing part of the accommodating part is moved, downward by a bottom portion of an upper surface part of the main body so as to open an opening and closing hole of the accommodating part.

An accommodating part for accommodating a different type of material may foe disposed, around a container spout part and foe adhered, or coupled to the container spout part in a discharge direction of a material contained in a container. When a main body is disposed around the container spout part provided with the accommodating part and is coupled thereto or touched, the different type of material stored, in a storage space disposed in the accommodating part falls into a container storage space and undergoes a mixing process.

Advantageous Effects

A different type of material stored in a storage space of an accommodating part fails and undergoes a mixing process, without pushing an upper surface part of the accommodating part with a hand, which is hygienic. In addition, a mixture formed, through the mixing process is discharged through a main body spout part disposed at the upper side of a main body.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

An accommodating device1according to the present invention includes an accommodating part20that is disposed around, a container spout part101and coupled thereto and that has a storage space21. As an opening part22moves downward, an opening and closing hole23of the accommodating part20is opened. Upper and lower parts of the storage space21disposed in the accommodating part20are air-tightly sealed by a sealing part24and a sealing part25disposed under the accommodating part20. The storage space21of the accommodating part20is opened by a main body10disposed around, the container spout part101and coupled thereto. To this end, an upper part of the accommodating part20is pushed downward, and thus, the opening part22opens the opening and closing hole23disposed under the opening part22. To this end, a punching pin13and a punching part12are disposed on a bottom part of a main body spout part11of the main body10. A material stored in the storage space21of the accommodating part20is discharged out of a container100. To this end, a cap30is formed above the main body10to open and close a discharge hole of the main body spout part11of the main body10.

Referring toFIG. 1, in a state that an upper hoop26of the accommodating part20is disposed on an upper end of the container spout part101, when the main body10is coupled to the accommodating device1, the punching pin13breaks the sealing part24, and simultaneously, the punching part12pushes an upper end part2of the opening part22. At this point, a foldable part28is folded downward, and simultaneously, an end part of the opening part22breaks the sealing part25closing the opening and closing hole23. At this point, the material stored in the storage space21, which is a different type of material, fails through the opening and closing hole23in a container storage space103disposed in the container100and undergoes a mixing process.

When the cap30joined to the main body spout part11is raised, a discharge hole plug15closing a discharge hole14is opened to discharge a mixture formed through the mixing process in the container storage space103.

Referring toFIG. 2, an accommodating device1includes a main body spout part11having a hinge type cover, or a one way check valve16in the main body spout part11, to discharge a mixture from, a container100without removing a main body10from the accommodating device1.

Referring toFIG. 4, an accommodating device1includes a cap30having a cap discharge hole31, which is laterally raised or lowered on a main body spout part11, to discharge a mixture from a container100without removing a main body10from the accommodating device1.

Referring toFIG. 5, an accommodating device1includes a discharge hole H as a member for discharging a mixture contained in a container100, and the discharge hole H is an inner space of an opening part22for opening a storage space21in an accommodating part20. When a main body10is disposed around the accommodating part20including the opening part22and is coupled thereto, a different type of material fails from the storage space21of the accommodating part20and undergoes a mixing process. The mixture, which is formed through the mixing process, is discharged through both the discharge hole H of the opening part22and a main body spout part11of the main body10. The main body spout part11is an upward penetration member, and the shape thereof is variously changed.

Referring toFIG. 6, an accommodating device1includes a discharge hole H as a member for discharging a mixture contained in a container100, and the discharge hole H is an inner space of an opening part22for opening a storage space21in an accommodating part20. When a main body10is disposed around the accommodating part20including the opening part22and is coupled thereto, a different, type of material falls from the storage space21of the accommodating part20and undergoes a mixing process. The mixture, which is formed through the mixing process, is discharged through both the discharge hole H of the opening part22and a main body spout part11of the main body10. The main body spout part11is an upward penetration member, and the shape thereof is variously changed. Specifically, a mixture is discharged by various pump dispensers40(refer toFIGS. 7 and 8) connected to a discharge hole H.

When the main body10is coupled to a container spout part101to discharge the different type of material stored in the storage space21of an accommodating part20, a punching part12formed on a bottom portion of an upper surface part of the main body10pushes the sealing part24. At this point, an opening and closing hole sealing part29closing the storage space21of the accommodating part20moves out of an opening and closing hole23.

Referring toFIG. 9, an accommodating device1is configured, such that when a main body10is coupled to a container spout part101to discharge a material stored in a storage space21of an accommodating part20, a punching part12protruding from a bottom portion, of an upper surface part of the main body10pushes a sealing part24of the accommodating part20downward so as to open an opening and closing hole23of the accommodating part20.

Referring toFIG. 10, an accommodating device1is configured such that when a main body10is coupled to a container spout part101to discharge a material stored in a storage space21of an accommodating part20, a punching part P protruding upward from a sealing part24of the accommodating part20is moved downward by a bottom portion of an upper surface part of the main body10so as to open an opening and closing hole23of the accommodating part20.

Referring toFIG. 11, an accommodating device1is configured such that a storage space21of an accommodating part20is opened even by a typical cap (a main body10). For reference, an opening part22can be variously modified as illustrated inFIG. 3.

To sum up, an accommodating part20has a storage space21that stores a different type of material such as a liquid or powder, and an upper part of the accommodating part20is sealed by a sealing part24. The sealing part (surface)24of the accommodating part20is partially punched, or is pushed downward into the accommodating part20by a punching part12of a main body10as a separately assembled part, and simultaneously, an opening part22is moved downward to open an opening and closing hole23in a bottom portion of the accommodating part20, or a sealing part25under the accommodating part20. The different type of material stored in the storage space21of the accommodating part20fails in a container storage space102through the opening and closing hole23or an open space of the sealing part25and undergoes a minting process.

The accommodating part20is opened via the main body10and is configured, such that when the main body10is disposed around the accommodating part20and coupled thereto, an upper end part of the opening part22extending from the inside of the accommodating part20is pushed downward by a bottom portion of an upper surface part of the main body10to open the sealing part (surface)25or the opening and closing hole23closing the storage space21of the accommodating part20.

Such a structure is illustrated inFIGS. 12 and 13, in which an upper end part of an opening part22protrudes to the upper side of a sealing part24, and an accommodating part20is disposed around a container spout part101and coupled thereto. When a main body10is disposed around the container spout part101and coupled thereto, a protruding portion of the opening part22is pushed downward, by a bottom portion of an upper surface part of the main body10to open an opening and closing hole sealing part29closing an opening and closing hole23.

At this point (referring toFIG. 13), a material stored in a storage space21falls into a container100through the opening and closing hole23, and simultaneously, the sealing part24is stretched downward with a small amount of elasticity. When a cap30is raised and the container100is inclined to a side to discharge a mixture including the material, the mixture is passed through the opening and closing hole23and a side discharge hole SH of the opening part22and is discharged via the cap30disposed above the opening and closing hole23and the side discharge hole SH.

According to another embodiment (refer toFIGS. 14 and 15), a storage space21of an accommodating part20stores solid crystals such as granules dissolved by a liquid, and the storage space21of the accommodating part20is air-tightly sealed by an opening part22closing an opening and closing hole23of the accommodating part20. When a main body10is disposed around the accommodating part20and coupled thereto, the opening part22is opened downward by a push type punching part or a punching pin13of the main body10. In this state, when the container100is opened to a side thereof, the liquid contained, in the container100moves to the storage space21through both the opening and closing hole23opened by a downward movement of the opening part22and one or more lower holes LH of the accommodating part20, and dissolves a material stored in the storage space21. At this point, the dissolved material is discharged through, a side discharge hole SH formed on the upper side of the opening part22.

In other words, referring toFIGS. 14 and 15, solid granules are stored in the storage space21of the accommodating part20, and the one or more lower holes LH are disposed in the opening and closing hole23at the lower end of the storage space21. In addition, the opening and closing hole23is air-tightly sealed by the opening and closing hole sealing part29of the opening part22.

In addition, the side discharge hole SH is formed in an upper side surface part of the opening part22and is isolated from the opening and closing hole sealing part29, and a sealing part24is formed above the opening part22.

According to another embodiment (refer toFIGS. 16 to 13), an accommodating part20for accommodating a different type of material is disposed around a container spout part101and is adhered or coupled to the container spout part101in a discharge direction of a material contained in a container100. When a main body10is disposed around the container spout part101provided with the accommodating part20and is coupled thereto or touched, the different type of material stored in a storage space21disposed in the accommodating part20falls into a container storage space102and undergoes a mixing process.

In particular, the storage space21formed in the accommodating part20stores a different type of material such as a liquid or powder and is sealed. When the main body10having a cap form is disposed around the container spout part101provided with the accommodating part20and is coupled, thereto or pressed, at least one portion of the accommodating part20is opened by a punching part12formed on the main body10having a cap form, and simultaneously, the different type of material stored, in the storage space21disposed in the accommodating part20fails into the container storage space102and undergoes the mixing process.

A sealing part25having a shape corresponding to that of the storage space21is formed under the accommodating part20. A sealing part24is disposed above the sealing part25to seal the storage space21. The accommodating part20is disposed around an upper end part, of the container spout part101and is adhered or coupled thereto.

The sealing parts24and25of the accommodating part20are provided in a soft film form. A portion of the accommodating part20between the sealing parts24and25is air-tightly sealed by a sealing part adhering part SP. A container adhering part CS of the accommodating part20is formed, on an upper end of the container spout part101by using a method such as a heat adhesion method, an ultrasonic method, or a high frequency method.

A cover part17is raised to discharge a mixture through a main body spout part11.

One or more containers100provided with the accommodating part20are hygienically packaged using a separate vinyl packaging method. A portion of the packaged containers100may include an accommodating device1as the main body10to open the accommodating part20of the container100.

For example, the number of the containers100provided with, the accommodating part20may be about 11, and the containers100may be hygienically packaged in a vinyl packaging form, a box packaging form, or a fixable packaging form. The packaged containers100may include one or two main bodies10.

When a customer, bought such a packaged system, disposes the main body10around the upper part of the container100and couples the main body10thereto, the punching part12of the main body10breaks the accommodating part20, so that a material stored in the storage space21falls into the container100. Thus, the customer can immediately drink a fresh mixture such as vitamins.

In addition, one main body10can be washed and used to open a plurality of accommodating parts20, thereby reducing waste pollution.

According to another embodiment (refer toFIGS. 19 to 21), an accommodating part20having a storage space21is assembled on a container spout part101of a container100or is coupled or adhered thereto. The accommodating part20is configured such that the storage space21is opened while a main body10is coupled to the container100, or a sealing part24as an upper surface of the accommodating part20is pressed or touched.

When an opening part22disposed in the storage space21is moved downward, a lower end part OE of the opening part22opens a sealing part25disposed under the accommodating part20, to form an opening and closing hole. While the main body10as a separate part is coupled to the container100, a punching part12pushes an upper end part27of the opening part22, and simultaneously, the opening and closing hole is formed.

At this point, the punching part12punches a portion of the sealing part24, and a mixture is discharged to a cap discharge hole31through a gap formed by raising a cap30disposed around a main body spout part11and coupled thereto.

When the cap30is closed, the cap30is moved downward to close a punching part sealing surface PS, thereby sealing the residue of the mixture.

For reference, when the accommodating part20is formed on an upper end of the container spout part101, the main body10capable of opening the accommodating part20is disposed around the container spout pare101and coupled, thereto while the main body10is maintained in a state before opening the accommodating part20. Then, when the main body10is coupled to the container spout part101or pressed in a screw manner by using, e.g., a method of removing a safety device installed, on a portion of the main body10, a punching pin or the punching part12of the main, body10, or the opening part22of the accommodating part20is pushed downward to open the storage space21of the accommodating part20.

Alternatively, the accommodating part20may be formed as a sealing thin plate having a simple shape to seal the container spout part101, and a sealed portion of the container spout part101may be broken while the main body10opening the accommodating part20and including a separate punching part is coupled to the container spout part101.
