The present invention relates to a reception apparatus that is used by being coupled to a neck of a container so that the reception apparatus is applicable to necks of other containers through the container.
There are related arts 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 thread having a size of about 26.78 MM to about 28 MM is formed within a bottle cap. In addition, one bottle cap may be assembled with a container neck having a size of about 26.78 MM to about 28 MM.
In the technical constitution of the present invention, for example, to couple a reception apparatus having a previously set standard to a container neck (e.g., the container neck having a size of about 26.78 MM to about 28 MM) having a different standard, a flexible threaded part may be provided on a lower coupling part of the reception apparatus to achieve objects of the present invention.
A reception apparatus of the present invention includes first and second threads to couple an inner thread of a threaded part of the reception apparatus to a bent thread of a container neck, thereby coupling the reception apparatus to a container neck having a different standard. Particularly, the threaded part having the first thread may have a relatively thin thickness so that the threaded part is flexibly applied to the thread of the container neck corresponding thereto.
In one example of the present invention, when the inner thread of the bottle cap is suitable for a container neck having a size of about 28 MM, and a container neck has a size of about 26.78 MM, it may be difficult to couple the reception apparatus to the container neck without using a separate connection device. However, according to the present invention, at least one or more threads having different sizes may be provided on the inside of the flexible threaded part. Thus, one reception apparatus may be applicable to a container neck having an approximate value in size.
Even though the container neck does not match the reception apparatus, the flexible threaded part that is applicable to the container neck having a different standard may be provided. Thus, it may be unnecessary to manufacture separate bottle caps or container necks having various standards.
According to a reception apparatus 1 of the present invention, an upper cap 2 or other unit for opening contents of a receiving part 3 received in the reception apparatus 1 is disposed above a main body. Also, a guide part 7 and a threaded part 4 that is a coupling part are disposed on a lower portion of the reception apparatus 1, and a first thread 5 and a second thread 6 are disposed within the threaded part 4.
Also, the thread disposed within the threaded part 4 that is the lower coupling part includes the first thread 5 and the second thread 6. The thread is configured to be coupled to necks of containers having a plurality of standards different from each other. For this, the threaded part 4 on which the first thread 5 is disposed may have a thin thickness so that the threaded part 4 is instantly expanded and assembled when a thread 201 of a container neck 200 is large.
Also, the second thread 6 that is couplable to a container neck having a relatively large standard than that of the first thread 5 is disposed under the first thread 5 so that one reception apparatus 1 is couplable to a plurality of container necks.
Also, an assembly part that is capable of being assembled with the other container neck may be disposed under the second thread 6. In this case, the assembly part may be variously designed so that the assembly part is pushed and closed in a one-touch manner and then be lifted to open the container.
In non-explained reference numerals in the drawing, a reference numeral 8 represents a container neck space, a reference numeral 9 represents a sealing part, a reference numeral 28 represents a protrusion, and a reference numeral 500 represents a skirt.
As described above, in
According to the above-described features, even though the first thread 5 contacts an outer diameter portion of the thread 201 to resist, the threaded part 4 on which the first thread 5 is disposed may be expanded so that the second thread 6 disposed under the first thread 5 is coupled to the thread 201. This is done because the threaded part 4 on which the first thread 5 has a thin thickness so that the threaded part is expandable.
Thus, the reception apparatus 1 may be formed of a soft resin such as a PE than a hard resin such as a PP that is a synthetic resin material. If the reception apparatus 1 is formed of the PP, the threaded part 4 may be formed of a soft material and also have a significantly thin thickness.

Referentially, the threaded part 4-N may be called a coupling part, and the present invention may have the same means.
As described above, in summary of fundamental technologies of the present invention, the reception apparatus used to be coupled to the other container neck having a different standard may be classified under the general term of an apparatus in which various heteromaterials such as liquid or powder are injected into the reception apparatus, and when the reception apparatus is coupled to the container neck, or the main body of the reception apparatus or the other portion such as an upper stopper disposed in an upper side is touched or opened after the heteromaterial reception apparatus is coupled to the container neck, the heteromaterial contained in the reception apparatus drops into the container and is mixed, or a solid content having taste and flavor injected into the reception apparatus through an upper opening of the reception apparatus is dissolved and discharged while a liquid contained in the container is discharged through the reception apparatus.
Also, the threaded part capable of being coupled to threads of a plurality of container necks having different standards is disposed under the reception apparatus. The threaded part may correspond to the thread of the container neck, and the thread of the container neck may be formed of a flexible material so that the thread of the container neck may be assembled while pushing the threaded part outward.
Also, the reception apparatus may be called an apparatus in which a heteromaterial is contained. Technically, the reception apparatus may be applicable to a bottle cap having various shapes such as a general push-pull-cap.
Also, when the first and second threads used in the present invention are applied to a metal can container, a protrusion having a hook instead of the threads may be applicable through design change.
Also, the reception apparatus of the present invention may be applicable as a reception apparatus in which a unit for discharging a content through a portion of a main body is disposed, or a coupling unit for coupling a reception apparatus containing a heteromaterial within a main body to a container such as a metal can is disposed. For example, the lower end coupling unit of the reception apparatus may be configured so that an end of the metal can is coupled to the other end.

According to further another embodiment of the present invention (see
Also, the reception apparatus 1 in which a heteromaterial is injected is configured to a main body 10 is coupled to a thread of a container neck. A separate coupling stand 400 is assembled to an outer surface part 22 so that a first inner surface part 20 and a second inner surface part 21 of the main body 10 are coupled to the thread of the container neck. When a cap (reception apparatus 1) is pushed toward the container neck or is rotationally coupled to the container neck with respect to the coupling stand 400, the main body 10 having the inner surface part (the first and second inner surface parts 20 and 21) is disposed first. In this state, when the coupling stand 400 rotates, the coupling stand 400 pushes the outer surface part 22 of the main body 10 inward so that a threaded part 4Q that is an inner surface of the outer surface part 22 of the main body 10 and a first or second thread 5 or 6 disposed on the inner surface part (the first and second inner surface parts 20 and 21) are more closely attached and coupled to a container neck thread 301 of a container neck 301.
Also, the coupling stand 400 is coupled to the outer surface part 22 of the main body 10 of the reception apparatus 1, and the coupled coupling stand is not separated.
Also, a coupling groove 23 is defined in the outer surface part 22 of the main body. A coupling stand fixing part 401 is disposed on the coupling stand surrounding to the coupling groove 23.
Also, a protrusion 25 and a return prevention part 26 are disposed on front and rear sides of the outer surface part 22 of the main body 10 of the reception apparatus 1 with respect to the main body stopper 24. A protrusion operating projection 402 and a coupling moving section stopper 403 are disposed on the inner surface part of the coupling stand 400 to correspond to the outer surface part 22 of the main body 10.
Also, when the coupled coupling stand 400 operates with respect to the outer surface part 22 of the main body 10, the protrusion operating projection 402 disposed within the coupling stand 400 pushes the protrusion 25 disposed on the outer surface part 22 inward. In this process, the first or second thread 5 or 6 disposed on the inner surface part may be more closely attached and coupled to the container neck thread 301 of the container neck 300.
Also, the protrusion operating projection 402 pushes the protrusion 25. In this process, the main body stopper 24 and the coupling stand moving section stopper 403 are disposed on the outer surface part 22 and the coupling stand 400 corresponding to the outer surface part 22 so that the coupling stand 400 does not rotate on the outer surface part 22 at a predetermined angle.
Also, when the coupling stand 400 rotates in a direction opposite to the coupling direction thereof, the coupling stand 400 rotates on the outer surface part 22. In this process, the coupling stand moving section stopper 403 of the coupling stand 400 is hooked on any portion of the outer surface part 22 so that the coupling stand 400 together the main body 10 including the outer surface part 22 is separated from the container neck.
Also, when the coupling stand 400 reversely rotates from the main body 10 including the outer surface part 22, the protrusion operating projection 402 gets out of the protrusion 25.
Also, a space having a predetermined size is defined in the outer surface part 22 of the main body 10 including the inner surface part (the first and second inner surface parts 20 and 21) to push the outer surface part 22 inward when the coupling stand 400 rotates in the rotational direction thereof.
Also, the first and second threads 5 and 6 disposed on the inner surface part are respectively disposed on the first and second inner surface parts 20 and 21. The second inner surface part 21 has an inner diameter or length greater than that of the first inner surface part.
Also, the first and second threads 5 and 6 may be intermittently provided as a projection type (see
Also, the inner surface part 21 having the second thread 6 may have a height of about 2 MM to about 3 MM. Alternatively, the second inner surface part 21 having the second thread 6 may have a height of about 2 MM to about 4 MM.
On the other hand, the second inner surface part 21 having the second thread 6 may have a height of about 2 MM to about 6 MM.
Continuously (see
Also, the threaded part 4R of the main body 10 includes a first thread 404 and a second thread 405.
Also, the threaded part 4R may include an intermittent projection or fine thread.
According to the reception apparatus of the present invention, the reception apparatus and the container are separately provided without being coupled to each other. When a consumer purchases the reception apparatus to couple the reception apparatus to a container that is previously held, or a bottle cap is removed from a separate purchased container to couple the reception apparatus to the container, thereby providing the reception apparatus having the plurality of coupling parts in which the heteromaterial is contained. Thus, the reception apparatus may be applicable to various fields such as containers for drinking water, general drinks, and the like.
