This application is a 371 application of PCT/KR2010/008167 filed Nov. 19, 2010, which claims foreign priority benefit under 35 U.S.C. §119 of Korean application Nos. 10-2009-0111754, filed Nov. 17, 2009; 10-2009-0121651, filed Dec. 7, 2009; 10-2010-0038091, filed Apr. 4, 2010; and 10-2010-0115253, filed Nov. 11, 2018, the disclosures of which are incorporated herein in their entirety.
The present invention relates to a connection device used to be coupled to a container neck, which is separately provided so that a bottle lid is assembled with different kinds of container necks having different standards.
There is a related art disclosed in PCT/KR2008/4210 which was invented by the present inventor.
In the case of PCT/KR2008/4210 that is a related art, for example, a screw thread having a size of about 26.78 MM to about 28 MM is formed within a bottle lid. In addition, one bottle lid may be assembled with a container neck having a size of about 26.78 MM and a container neck having a size of about 28 M.
Objectives of the present invention are to clarify examples in use of the technical structure, and preferably, the standard of the bottle lid is predetermined, and a connection die for assisting the coupling of the bottle lid to a container neck having a standard different from that of the bottle lid.
A connection device of the present invention is separately provided to be coupled to a bottle lid and a container neck which have different sizes and has a screw thread so that the connection device is coupled to an inner screw thread of the bottle lid and a mouth part screw thread of the container neck.
As an example of the present invention, when the inner screw thread of the bottle lid has a size of about 28 MM, and the container neck has a size of about 26.78 MM, a separate connection device is provided. Here, a screw thread coupled to the bottle lid is formed on an upper portion of the connection device, and a screw thread coupled to the container neck having a size of about 26.78 MM is formed on a lower portion of the connection device.
Also, a first screw thread and a second screw thread which have different sizes from each other may be formed on a lower inner sidewall of a connection die so that one connection device is applied to a plurality of container necks having different sizes.
Even though the bottle lid has a size different from that of container neck, the connection device is separately provided to assist the coupling of the bottle neck to the container neck, which have different sizes from each other, and thus it is unnecessary to manufacture bottle lids or container necks having various sizes separately.
A connection device 1 of the present invention includes a mouth part 2 and a lower coupling part 4. A mouth part screw thread 3 that is coupled to an inner screw thread of a bottle lid 100 is disposed on an outer circumferential portion of the mouth part 2. A screw thread corresponding to a standard of a specific container neck is disposed in a screw thread part 4 that is the lower coupling part.
Also, the screw thread disposed within the screw thread part 4 that is the lower coupling part includes a first screw thread 5 and a second screw thread 6. The screw thread of one connection device 1 is configured to be coupled to necks of containers having a plurality of standards different from each other. For this, the screw thread part 4 in which the first screw thread 5 is disposed may have a thin thickness so that the screw thread part 4 is instantly expanded and assembled when a screw thread 201 of a container neck 200 is large.
Also, for example, the screw thread part 4 has a structure in which the first screw thread 5 is formed to be coupled to the container neck 200 having the screw thread 201 having a size of about 26.78 MM, and the second screw thread 6 is formed to be coupled to a container neck having a size of about 26.78 MM or more at lower side of the first screw thread 5. Thus, one bottle lid 100 may be coupled to a plurality of container necks.
Reference numeral 7 of drawings which is not described shows a guide.

In another embodiment,
As further another embodiment of the present invention (see

As further another embodiment of the present invention (see
The flexible part 12 may be formed of a soft synthetic rubber material such as silicon.
According to further another embodiment of the present invention (see
For supplemental explain,

Thus, the screw thread part S is assembled with the screw thread 201 along the screw thread 201 in a state where the screw thread part S spreads outward according to the size of the screw thread 201 of the container neck 200 or while maintaining inward elasticity. The foldable screw thread part S may have a circular shape or be a plurality of independent screw threads S of which a predetermined portion is cut. Also, when the screw thread part S has a circular shape, the screw thread part S may have a predetermined slope (angle) to correspond to the screw thread 201.

As further another embodiment of the present invention (
As further another embodiment of the present invention (see
In use as described above, when a cover disposed on the outside or an elastic part 130 formed of a soft resin such as silicon or the like is removed, and an end on which a stopper 131 is disposed is pressed, the elastic part 130 is folded downward. Simultaneously, a breaking protrusion disposed under the stopper 131 to lengthily extend may break a sealing part, which has a thin film shape to seal a lower end of the storage space 132, so that the different material within the storage space 132 drops down and is mixed.
According to further another embodiment of the present invention (see
For reference, the screw thread part 4 may be called a coupling part, and the present invention may have the same means.
In a case where the bottle neck is not coupled to the container, but is separately distributed, when the consumer purchases the bottle lid to couple the bottle lid to a pre-stored container or to a separately purchased container after a bottle lid coupled to the separately purchased container, the connection device of the present invention may be used as a medium for coupling the bottle lid to the container neck, which have different sizes from each other.
