BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE

Technical Field

The technical field of this disclosure relates to a cover of a sealing jar, and more particularly to a sealing cover with a two-way embedding buckle mechanism.

Description of Related Art

In general, a sealing jar has a container and an airtight cover mounted on an opening of the container to detachably cover the container. In order to seal the opening of the container, a gasket such as a ring gasket is embedded in the bottom of the cover and air-tightly stacked on the opening of the container to achieve the effect of sealing the periphery of the opening.

Since it is necessary to remove and clean the sealing cover, related-art manufacturers have developed a sealing cover with a handle and an elastic element, and the sealing cover can be used to pull and press the handle, and the elasticity of the elastic element can squeeze and deform the gasket to achieve the sealing effect. However, some of the sealing covers of this sort have to remove most of the parts in assembly and disassembly processes, but some of the sealing covers only have a one-way embedding port for the assembly, and thus causing a tremendous inconvenience of assembly and disassembly during the cleaning process.

In view of the aforementioned problem of the related art, the inventor of this disclosure based on years of experience in the related industry to conduct extensive research and experiment, and finally provided a feasible solution to the aforementioned problem.

The objective of this disclosure is to provide a sealing cover with a two-way embedding buckle mechanism and having a two-way embedding port disposed at a fastener to improve the convenience of assembling and disassembling.

In an embodiment, the upper cover member 10 is in a quadrilateral shape, but it is not limited to this shape only, and the upper cover member 10 may be made of a plastic material such as polypropylene (PP). The upper cover member 10 includes a top plate 11 and ring frame 12 extended downwardly from the top plate 11, and a through hole 111 is formed on the center position of the top plate 11, and a peripheral wall 112 is extended downwardly from the periphery of the through hole 111. A stop slope 121 is formed on the bottom edge of the ring frame 12. In addition, an upper collar 13 is disposed between the peripheral wall 112 and the ring frame 12 and extended downwardly from the top plate 11. In this embodiment, the upper collar 13 is in a quadrilateral shape, and an elastic hook 131 is disposed on the middle position of each side of the upper collar 13.

The lower cover member 20 is disposed under the upper cover member 10, and the shape is substantially the same as the shape of the upper cover member 10, and the lower cover member 20 may be made of a plastic material such as acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), and the lower cover member 20 includes a bottom plate 21 and a seal ring 22 connected to the bottom plate 21. The bottom plate 21 and the seal ring 22 are manufactured by injection molding. In this manufacturing method, the bottom plate 21 is manufactured in a mold first, and then the bottom plate 21 is placed into another mold, and finally the liquid material is filled and cured to form the seal ring 2. The bottom plate 21 and the seal ring 22 are inseparable.

Further, the seal ring 22 of this embodiment is made of silicone and is substantially a quadrilateral ring. The seal ring 22 includes a connection section 221 and a squeezed-deformed section 222 extended from the connection section 221, and the connection section 221 is fixed to the periphery of the bottom plate 21, and the squeezed-deformed section 222 is extended in a direction toward the upper cover member 10 and formed on the outer side of the stop slope 121.

Further, the bottom plate 21 is configured to have a lower collar 23 extended corresponding to the upper collar 13, and the lower collar 23 has a hook guide slot 231 formed on the middle position of each side of the lower collar 23, and the lower collar 23 and the upper collar 13 are engaged with each other, and each elastic hook 131 is vertically movable in each hook guide slot 231.

Further, a rectangular frame 24 is extended upwardly from the middle position of the bottom plate 21, and has two snap holes 241 corresponding to each other formed on the side plates of the rectangular frame 24. A plurality of ribs 24 are formed between the outer periphery of the lower collar 23 and the bottom plate 21 for improving the structural strength.

The fastener 30 has two embedded buckle channels 31 corresponding to each other, and each embedded buckle channel 31 includes a sliding path 311, a first embedding port 312 and a second embedding port 313, and the first embedding port 312 and the second embedding port 313 are formed on two ends of the sliding path 311 respectively.

Further, the sliding path 311 is substantially in an inverted V-shape, and has a fastening hole 314 formed on the tip position of the sliding path 311 and a boss 315 formed under the fastening hole 314. In this embodiment, the boss 315 is substantially in a triangular shape. In addition, a climbing slope 316 is disposed on the lower edge of the fastening hole 314 in the sliding path 311. An insert block 32 is disposed on the bottom of the fastener 30, and a snap hook 321 is disposed on the two corresponding sides of the insert block 32 respectively.
