Description
BACKGROUND

The present invention relates to a spuit type heterogeneous contents mixing container, and more particularly, to a spuit type heterogeneous contents mixing container in which a sealing plate is separated from an inner container while an operating member moves vertically by the rotation of a rotating cap, so that heterogeneous contents contained in outer and inner containers, respectively, can be easily mixed and used. In addition, the moved operating member serves as an insertion guide pipe for a spuit part and always presses the sealing plate so that the sealing plate does not move in the outer container.

In general, cosmetics or medicines contained in a container are often used by mixing two or more heterogeneous contents in order to enhance the efficacy or effect of the cosmetics or medicines.

However, when the contents required to be mixed for use are distributed and kept after being mixed and contained together in a single container in advance, a chemical reaction occurs in the container, so that the contents solidify or precipitate, resulting in poor discharge, discoloration or alteration of the contents.

For this reason, according to the related art, heterogeneous contents are contained in separate containers, and when used, the contents are mixed in a separate container after opening inlets of two containers.

However, the method as described above is inconvenient in use and there is a risk of losing the container. In addition, when the contents contained in separate containers are put into one container, the contents may flow down and contaminate the surroundings.

Accordingly, recently, there has been developed a heterogeneous contents mixing container in which heterogeneous contents are contained in a single container while being separated from each other, and the contents are mixed for use by a user's manipulation if necessary.

As a related art, there has been disclosed a spuit type heterogeneous contents mixing container in Korean Registered Patent No. 10-1912587, which had been applied by the applicant of the present invention.

The related art includes an outer container for containing a first content therein, an inner container for containing a second content therein, which is inserted into the outer container and formed with a vertical moving hole, a sealing plate coupled to the inner container to prevent the first and second contents from mixing, an operating member coupled to the inner container to be movable up or down, a detachable cap detachably coupled to the operating member, a push button made of an elastic material and formed on an upper portion of the detachable cap, a spuit pipe extending downward from the push button, and a push button cover for protecting the push button.

According to the related art, after the operating member is rotated to release the lock, when the push button cover is pushed, the spuit pipe coupled to the detachable cap pushes the sealing plate to be separated from the inner container while the detachable cap moves downward together with the operating member, so that the heterogeneous contents separately contained in the inner and outer containers are mixed and blended.

However, the related art has a structure in which the spuit pipe directly moves the sealing plate downward by the pressing of the push button cover, and thus relatively weak women cannot operate it easily. Rather, when the push button cover is pressed with excessive force, the spuit pipe may be damaged.

In addition, it is necessary to mix the heterogeneous contents through several steps of rotating the operating member by a certain section in a state where the push button cover surrounds the push button, and then forcibly pressing the push button cover to separate the sealing plate from the inner container, so that it may be inconvenient to use.

SUMMARY

To solve the problems described above, an object of the present invention is to provide a spuit type heterogeneous contents mixing container in which heterogeneous contents are contained in outer and inner containers, respectively, an opened portion of the inner container is inserted into the outer container while closing a sealing plate, and an operating member pushes the sealing plate downward to open the inner container while being moved vertically by the rotation of a rotation cap, so that it is possible to easily mix and use the homogeneous contents contained in the inner and outer containers. In addition, the moved operating member serves as an insertion guide pipe for a spuit part, and always presses the sealing plate to prevent the sealing plate from moving in the outer container.

According to the present invention, there is provided a spuit-type heterogeneous contents mixing container which includes an outer container for containing a first content therein; an inner container for containing a second content therein, the inner container having at least a portion inserted into the outer container and being formed with a vertical guide groove; a sealing plate detachably coupled to the inner container to prevent the first and second contents from being mixed; a rotation cap rotatably coupled to the outer container; a rotation member rotated together with the rotation cap and formed with an oblique guide portion; an operating member disposed to be movable vertically in the inner container and provided with a guide protrusion; and a spuit part for sucking and discharging the first and second contents contained in the outer container.

The first and second contents may be mixed as the operating member pushes downward the sealing plate to separate the sealing plate from the inner container while being moved vertically by a rotation of the rotation cap.

The sealing plate may be formed at a center thereof with a first through hole and the operating member may be formed at a center thereof with a second through hole, such that the spuit part is inserted into the outer container by passing through the first and second through holes.

The rotation cap may be formed with a first locking protrusion and the rotation member may be formed with a second locking protrusion, such that the rotation cap is engaged with the rotation member.

The operating member may move to a lower side of the outer container while pushing the sealing plate to serve as an insertion guide pipe into which at least a portion of the spuit part is inserted, and may be fixed to the inner bottom of the outer container by pressing the sealing plate.

The operating member may be formed with a vertical communication hole, and at least a portion of the vertical communication hole may be exposed to a lower side of the inner container when the operating member moves to a lower side of the outer container.

The spuit part may include a push button formed of an elastic material, a spuit pipe connected to a lower side of the push button, and a handle coupled to an outside of the spuit pipe.

According to the embodiments of the present invention, the operating member pushes the sealing plate to open the inner container closed by the sealing plate while moving vertically by the rotation of the rotation cap, so that the heterogeneous contents contained in the outer container and the inner container can be easily mixed and used.

In addition, according to the embodiments of the present invention, the mixed heterogeneous contents are sucked or discharged at a small amount by the spuit part including the push button, the spuit pipe and the handle, so that it is possible to prevent the mixed heterogeneous contents from being wasted while being excessively used.

In addition, according to the embodiments of the present invention, in the state where the operating member vertically moved by the rotation of the rotation cap extends downward from the inner container, the operating member serves as an insertion guide pipe for the spuit part, so that it can be conveniently used.

In addition, according to the embodiments of the present invention, the operating member vertically moved by the rotation of the rotation cap always presses the sealing plate so that the sealing plate does not move in the outer container, so it is possible to prevent malfunctions caused by the sealing plate.

A spuit type heterogeneous contents mixing container according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 10.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a mixing container according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of a mixing container according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of a mixing container, which is taken along line A-A, according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of the mixing container, which is taken along line B-B, according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown, a mixing container according to an embodiment of the present invention may include an outer container 10, an inner container 20, a sealing plate 30, a rotation cap 40, a rotation member 50, an operating member 60, and a spuit part 70.

The outer container 10, which is formed in a shape of a rigid cylinder having an opened upper portion, contains a first content C1 in an inner space thereof. Of course, the outer container 10 is not limited to a rigid cylindrical shape, and may be formed in various shapes or of materials.

As shown in FIG. 2, the first content C1 is charged to the opened upper portion of the outer container 10, and an end of the opened portion is formed with a fixing groove 11 to enable the inner container 20 to be fitted.

As shown in FIG. 3, a sealing plate insertion groove 12 may be formed in an inner bottom of the outer container 10, where the sealing plate 30 separated from the inner container 20 is inserted into the sealing plate insertion groove 12 and a fixing protrusion 12a is formed on an outside of the sealing plate insertion groove 12.

A first coupling protrusion 14, which is formed on an upper outer periphery of the outer container 10, may be rotatably coupled with the rotation cap 40.

At least a portion of the inner container 20 is inserted into the outer container 10, and a second content C2 is contained inside the inner container 20. In this case, preferably, the second content C2, which is different from the first content (C1), is a content that can enhance the efficacy or effect when used while being mixed with the first content C1.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, an upper inner wall 22 may extend upwardly from an upper portion of the inner container 20, and an upper outer wall 24 may extend upwardly while being spaced apart from an outside of the upper inner wall 22 by a predetermined interval. At least one vertical guide groove 22a is formed on the upper inner wall 22 to guide the up and down movement of the operating member 60, and a fixed protrusion 24a is formed on an outer periphery of the upper outer wall 24 such that the inner container 20 is fixed without rotating with respect to the outer container 10 with no traction while being inserted into the fixing groove 11 of the outer container 10.

In addition, the upper outer wall 24 may be formed with a communication hole 24b, such that the first and second contents C1 and C2 move between an inner space of the outer container 10 and an upper inner space of the inner container 20.

In addition, a lower inner wall 26 may extend downward from a lower portion of the inner container 20, and a lower outer wall 28 may extend outward while being spaced apart from an outside of the lower inner wall 26. The second content C2 may be contained in a space between the lower inner wall 26 and the lower outer wall 28, and the space between the lower inner and outer walls 26 and 28 may be sealed while ends of the lower inner and outer walls 26 and 28 are coupled to the sealing plate 30.

Meanwhile, first and second sealing rings R1 and R2 may be formed between the outer and inner containers 10 and 20, and the first and second sealing rings R1 and R2 may seal the outer container 10 to prevent the first content C1 contained in the outer container 10 from leaking out.

In this case, the first and second sealing ring R1 and R2 are formed of a soft material. Preferably, the first and second sealing ring R1 and R2 may be formed of one or more of urethane rubber, natural rubber, elastomer, nitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR) and silicone, or one or more of elastic polypropylene, polyethylene, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) and Thermo plastic elastomer (TPE). Of course, the first to second sealing rings R1 and R2 are not limited to the above-described materials, and may be formed of various materials having elasticity in a certain range.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the sealing plate 30 is coupled to the lower end of the inner container 20 to block the inner spaces of the outer and inner containers 10 and 20, thereby preventing the first and second contents C1 and C2 contained in the outer and inner containers 10 and 20 from being blended before being mixed.

A first through hole 31 may be formed at the center of the sealing plate 30 to allow a spuit part 70 to pass therethrough, and an upper extension protrusion wheel 32 may extend upward from the outside of the first through hole 31 to allow the operating member 60 to be placed thereon.

A first end sill step 32a may be formed on an inner periphery of the upper extension protrusion wheel 32, and an end portion of the operating member 60 may be placed on the first end sill 32a while at least a portion of the operating member 60 is inserted into an inside of the upper extension protrusion wheel 32. In addition, a content communication slit 32b is formed on an outer wall of the upper extension protrusion wheel 32. When the sealing plate 30 is separated from the inner container 20 to mix the first and second contents C1 and C2, the first and second contents C1 and C2 thus mixed move through the content communication slit 32b are moved through the contents communication slit 32b and sucked into the spuit part 70.

In addition, first and second fitting grooves 33 and 35 are formed on an outside of the upper extension protrusion wheel 32, and are fitted with the lower inner and outer walls 26 and 28 of the inner container 20, respectively. Thus, the opened one side of the inner container 20 is closed, thereby blocking the inner container 20.

Meanwhile, a plurality of protrusion ribs 34 protrude outwardly from the outer periphery of the sealing plate 30. When the sealing plate 30 is separated from the inner container 20 and moves to the lower side, as shown in FIG. 5, the first content C1 passes between the plurality of protrusion ribs 34 to be mixed with the second content C2.

In addition, a protrusion 30 is formed on the lower portion of the sealing plate 30. When the sealing plate 30 is separated from the inner container 20, as shown in FIG. 7, the first fixing protrusion 12a of the sealing plate insertion groove 12 may be fitted with an outer periphery of the protrusion 36 while the protrusion 36 is inserted into the sealing plate insertion groove 12 of the outer container 10.

The rotation cap 40 is rotatably coupled to the upper portion of the outer container 10 and transmits the rotational force to the rotation member 50 while being rotated by a user.

As shown in FIG. 2, at least one first locking protrusion 42 may be formed on an inside of the rotation cap 40 and is fastened to the rotation member 50. A second coupling protrusion 44 may be formed on a lower portion of the first locking protrusion 42 to be rotatably undercut-coupled to the first coupling protrusion 14 of the outer container 10.

The rotation member 50 is rotated together with the rotation cap 40 in a state in which at least a portion is inserted into an inside of the rotation cap 40.

An inlet 51, into which the spuit part 70 is inserted or input/output, is formed at one side of the rotation member 50. The inlet 51 passes through the center of the rotation cap 40 and is exposed to the upper portion of the outer container 10. A screw thread may be formed on the outer periphery of the inlet 51 to be screw-coupled to the spuit part 70.

At least one second locking protrusion 52 is formed on the outer periphery of the rotation member 50 to be engaged with the first locking protrusion 42 of the rotation cap 40. In other words, the second locking protrusion 52 of the rotation member 50 is fastened while being fitted between the first locking protrusions 42 of the rotation cap 40, so that the rotation member 50 is rotated by the rotation cap 40.

In addition, a lower extension portion 54 may extend downward from an opposite side of the rotation member 50, and an oblique guide portion 56 having an oblique surface 56a may be formed on an inner periphery of the lower extension portion 54. That is, when the rotation member 50 is rotated in place by the rotation cap 40, while rotating in the rotation direction of the rotation member 60, the oblique surface 56a of the oblique guide portion 56 may push the guide protrusion 66 of the operating member 60 to allow the guide protrusion 66 to move downward along the vertical guide groove 22a of the inner container 20.

In this case, a plurality of protrusions or grooves may be formed on the outer periphery of the lower extension portion 54 to be fitted to a plurality of protrusions or grooves formed on the upper inner periphery of the inner container 20.

Meanwhile, a wiper 90, which sweeps off contents stuck on the outer periphery of the spuit pipe 74 of the spuit part 70 when the spuit pipe 74 is withdrawn, may be further coupled to the inlet 51 of the rotation member 50.

The operating member 60 is disposed to be vertically movable in the inner container 20 and the rotation member 50, and operates to separate the sealing plate 30 from the inner container 20. The operating member 60 has a shape of a tube having opened upper and lower portions, and a second through hole 61 is formed at the center of the operating member 60 such that the spuit part 70 pass through the operating member 60.

An insertion portion 62 is formed at a lower side of the operating member 60. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the insertion portion 62 is formed to have an outer diameter relatively smaller than those of other portions, so that the end portion of the operating member 60 may be placed on the end sill 32a of the upper extension protrusion wheel 32 while being inserted into an inside of the upper extension protrusion wheel of the seal plat 30. Therefore, the ends of the operating member 60 and the sealing plate 30 are kept in close contact with each other.

In addition, a guide protrusion 66 may protrude outwardly from the upper outer periphery of the operating member 60. The guide protrusion 66 is tightly closed to the oblique surface 56a of the oblique guide part 56 formed on the rotation member 50 by passing through the vertical guide groove 22a, and moves downward along the vertical guide groove 22a while being pushed in an oblique direction by the oblique surface 56a.

In addition, a vertical communication hole 64 may be formed in the outer periphery of the operating member 60. The vertical communication hole 64 is formed in a long rectangular shape along the length direction of the operating member 60 to serve as a passage of the first or second content C1 or C2, or air. In more detail, when the operating member 60 is moved to the lower side of the outer container 10 by the rotational operation of the rotation cap 40, at least a portion of the vertical communication hole 64 may be exposed downwardly of the inner container 20. Accordingly, when the spuit part 70 is inserted into or withdrawn from the second through hole 61 of the operating member 60, the first and second contents C1 and C2 or air may move between the inner spaces of the outer container and the operating member 60 through the vertical communication hole 64.

According to the mixing container of an embodiment, as the operating member 60 pushes the sealing plate 30 to separate the sealing plate 30 from the inner container 20 while being moved linearly toward the bottom of the outer container 10 by the rotational operation of the rotation cap 40, the first and second contents C1 and C2 separately contained in the outer and inner containers 10 and 20 are mixed with each other. In this case, the operating member 60 extending downwardly from the inner container 20 is fixed to serve as an insertion guide tube of the spuit part 70 so that the spuit part 70 may be more easily inserted or withdrawn. At the same time, since the operating member 60 always presses the upper portion of the sealing plate 30, the sealing plate 30 does not move in the outer container 10, so that it is possible to prevent the malfunction of the mixing container due to the movement of the sealing plate 30.

The spuit part 70 is detached from the upper portion of the outer container 10, and sucks or discharges the first and second contents C1 and C2 contained in the outer container 10.

The spuit part 70 may include a push button 72 made of an elastic material, a spuit pipe 74 connected to the lower side of the pushbutton 72, and a handle 76 connected to the push button 72 and the outside of the spuit pipe 74.

When the push button 72 is pressed by a user, the first and second contents C1 and C2 are sucked or pushed through the spuit pipe 74 while the internal volume is changed. The spuit pipe 74 extends to the lower side of the push button 72 and is inserted into the outer container 10 by passing through the first and second through holes 31 and 61 of the sealing plate 30 and the operating member 60.

In this case, the push button 72 is formed of an elastic material having restoration, and is particularly preferably formed of at least one of natural rubber, elastomer, acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR), and silicone rubber.

In addition, the handle 76 is coupled to the outside of the push button 72 and the spuit pipe 74, and formed on the inner periphery thereof with a screw thread to be screw coupled with a screw thread formed on the upper outer periphery of the rotation member 50. In the mixing container according to an embodiment of the present invention, although the spuit part 70 and the rotation member 50 are illustrated as being screw coupled to each other, the present invention is not limited thereto. The spuit part 70 and the rotation member 50 may be coupled to each other in various coupling scheme such as an undercut coupling scheme, a protrusion and groove coupling scheme, a forcibly fitting coupling scheme, a magnetic force coupling scheme, etc.

That is, as shown in FIG. 8, when the push button 72 is pressed, the internal volume of the push button 72 decreases, and at the same time, the air in the push button 72 and the spuit pipe 74 is exhausted. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 9, when the pressure on the push button 72 is released, the internal volume of the push button 72 is increased while the push button 72 is restored to its original shape, and at the same time, the first and second contents C1 and C2 mixed in the outer container 10 are sucked into the spuit pipe 74 by the suction force.

In addition, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, a push button cover 80 for protecting the push button 72 during carrying or keeping may be further coupled to an upper portion of the push button 72 of the spuit part 70.

The push button cover 80 is coupled while surrounding the push button 72, and formed of a rigid material. That is, since the push button 72 of the spuit part 70 is formed of an elastic material, the push button 72 may be unintentionally pressed by external force during distributing or carrying. To prevent this, the rigid push button cover 80 is detachably coupled to the outside of the push button 72.

FIGS. 5 to 10 are views illustrating the assembly and use of a heterogeneous contents mixing container according to an embodiment of the present invention. Hereinafter, the processes of assembling and using a heterogeneous contents mixing container according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 to 10.

First, in order to assemble a mixing container according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown, the first content C1 is filled in the inner space of the outer container 10.

Next, after the inner container 20 is turned over, the inner space of the inner container 20, that is, the space between the lower inner wall 26 and the lower outer wall 28 is filled with the second content C2, and the sealing plate 30 is coupled to the end of the inner container 20.

Next, as described above, the first and second sealing rings R1 and R2 are fitted to the inside and outside of the inner container 20 which is filled with the second content C2 and coupled to sealing plate 30, and after the inner container 20 is turned over again, the inner container 20 is inserted into the opened upper portion of the outer container 10.

Next, the operating member 60 is inserted into the upper portion of the inner container 20, and the rotation member 50 is fitted with the inner container 20 while the operating member 60 is covered with the rotation member 50. Then, the rotation cap 40 is rotatably coupled to the outer container 10 while surrounding the sides of the rotation member 50 and the inner container 20.

In this case, the insertion portion 62 of the operating member 60 passes through the center of the inner container 20 and is inserted into the upper extension protrusion wheel 32 of the sealing plate 30. The guide protrusion 66 in close contact with the oblique surface 56a of the rotation member 50 in the state where the guide protrusion 66 is inserted into the vertical guide groove 22a of the inner container 20. In addition, the first locking protrusion 42 of the rotation cap 40 is engaged with the second locking protrusion 52 of the rotation member 50.

Next, after the wiper 90 is coupled to the inside of the inlet 51 of the rotation member 50, the spuit part 70 including the push button 72, the spuit pipe 74 and a handle 76 is screw coupled while inserting into the inlet 51, and the push button cover 80 is put on the top of the push button 72 of the spuit part 70 to be coupled.

In this case, the spuit pipe 74 of the spuit part 70 is inserted into the outer container 10 by passing through the second through hole 61 of the operating member 60 and the first through hole 31 of the sealing plate 30.

FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a state of rotating a rotation cap, which is taken along line A-A, according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a state in which an operating member is completely vertically moved, which is taken along line A-A, according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Meanwhile, when it is desired to use the mixing container assembled as described above, the rotation cap 40 rotates with respect to the outer container 10 in either direction.

As shown in FIG. 5, when the rotation cap 40 rotates, while the rotation member 50 engaged with the inside of the rotation cap 40 rotates together, the oblique surface 56a formed in the oblique guide portion 56 of the rotation member 50 pushes the guide protrusion 66 of the operating member 60 to the side. In this case, the guide protrusion 66 is inserted into the vertical guide groove 22a of the inner container 20 and cannot be rotated, and is linearly moved downward along the vertical guide groove 22a while being pressed by the oblique surface 56a.

At the same time, the sealing plate 30, which is in close contact with the end of the operating member 60, is pushed by the operating member 60 and separated from the inner container 20. Thus, the second content C2 that is separately contained in the inner container 20 is introduced into the outer container 10 to be blended and mixed with the first content C1.

Thereafter, when the operating member 60 is further rotated, as shown in FIG. 6, the operating member 60 pushes the sealing plate 30 to the bottom of the outer container 10, thereby causing the protrusion 36 of the sealing plate 30 to be inserted into the sealing plate insertion groove 12 of the outer container 10.

In this case, in a state in which the operating member 60 extends downward from the inner container 20, the operating member 60 is fixed to serve as an insertion guide pipe of the spuit part 70. The operating member 60 continuously presses the sealing plate 30 inserted into the bottom of the outer container 10, so that the sealing plate 30 is prevented from moving in the outer container 10.

FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a state in which a push button cover is separated, which is taken along line B-B, according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a state in which a push button is pressed, which is taken along line B-B, according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a state in which the pressure on a push button is released, which is taken along line B-B, according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 10 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a state in which a spuit part is separated, which is taken along line B-B, according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Afterwards, as shown in FIG. 7, the push button cover 80 is separated to expose the push button 72 of the spuit part 70 to the outside, and the elastic material push button 72 as shown in FIG. 8) Is pressed, the internal volume of the push button 72 is reduced, and at the same time, the air in the push button 72 and the spuit pipe 74 is discharged to the outer container 10 by the pressing pressure.

Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 9, when the pressure on the push button 72 is released, the internal volume increases as the push button 72 is restored to its original shape, and first and second contents C1 and C2 mixed in the outer container 10 are sucked into the spuit pipe 74 by the suction force.

Next, as shown in FIG. 10, the handle 76 of the spuit part 70 is held and rotated to separate the spuit part 70 from the rotation member 50, and the spuit pipe 74 in which the mixed contents are sucked is taken out from the outer and inner containers 10 and 20.

Thereafter, when he end of the spuit pipe 74 is located near the skin and the push button 72 made of an elastic material is pressed, the internal volume of the push button 72 decreases, and the mixed contents sucked in the spuit pipe 74 are discharged.
