Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a closure device for a container, in more detail, a closure device for a container using physical viscosity of liquid, which can prevent liquid from leaking out of a container, even if a user accidentally turns the container upside down in everyday life, and dispense the amount of liquid that the user wants, when the user wants to use the liquid in the container.
  • Closures of containers used at the present time simply close (seal) the containers to prevent leakage, or adjust the shape and the dispensed amount of contents by changing the shape of the outlets of the containers into a circle or a rectangle, such as containers for food.
  • spray-typed, pump-typed, and pipette-typed closures are used generally for medicine or cosmetic container, and usually made of plastic in large quantities by injection molding.
  • the spray-typed and pump-typed closure that are widely used for good sealing, as compared with the simple shapes of closures, requires a large number of parts (seven to eleven) to satisfy the functions of desired sealing and adjusting the contents, such that the manufacturing cost is high. Further, when the contents solidify, the operational parts may be stuck and cause malfunction, or the contents in the containers are not completely discharged or remain between the parts, thereby wasting resources.
  • the present invention has been made to overcome the problems of the related art and it is an object of the present invention to a closure device for a container using viscosity according to a new conception, which has a simple structure with a small amount of parts, prevents the contents from leaking, even if the container is upside down, makes it easy to adjust the dispensed amount, and makes it possible to dispense almost all the contents in the container without waste.
  • a closure device for a container using viscosity includes: a main body that is inserted in and combined with a neck portion of a container and have a solution discharging opening at the center; and a fixed plate that is a circular plate disposed in the main body, has a through-hole at a predetermined position, and defines a fixed-plate flow path on the top, at a predetermined depth from the through-hole to the center.
  • the lower end of the discharging opening of the main body is connected with the fixed-plate flow path formed at the center on the fixed plate
  • the main body has a packing portion at the top and a locking step at the bottom to prevent the fixed plate from separating downward.
  • the through-hole of the fixed plate is positioned at a predetermined distance from the center of the fixed plate, and the fixed-plate flow path connected to the through-hole is formed straight or in a curve to the center of the fixed plate.
  • a separator is further disposed between the main body and the fixed plate, in which the separator is a circular plate and preferably has a center groove at a predetermined depth on the bottom, a plurality of under-separator flow paths formed from the center groove to the circumference, under-separator flow path holes at the ends of the under-separator flow paths, and protrusions at regular intervals on the top of the separator.
  • the center flow path formed on the top of the separator is connected with the lower end of the discharging opening of the main body above the flow path, and with the fixed-plate center flow path under the flow path.
  • a closure device for a container using viscosity uses a principle that liquid is stopped by viscous force that is generated when the fluid passes through a narrow channel, whereas the closure device adjusts the dispensed amount by making the viscous force smaller than the gravity of external force applied by hands, when using the liquid. Therefore, a structural sealing device is achieved by using the viscosity that is a physical property of liquid, without using specific operational parts.
  • the closure device according to the present invention has the following effects.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing when a lid and a closure device according to the present invention are separated from a container;
  • FIGS. 2 to 4 are a plan view, a bottom view, and a cross-sectional view of the closure device according to the present invention, respectively;

  • FIGS. 8 and 9 are a cross-sectional view and a plan view showing the structure of a fixed plate according to the present invention.
  • a closure device 60 for a container using viscosity according to the present invention is inserted in and combined with a neck 71 of a container 70 and a lid 10 is combined with the upper portion of the closure device 60.
  • the closure device 60 of the present invention is composed of a main body 30 having a solution discharging opening 32 at the center, a separator 40 disposed in the main body 30, and a fixed plate 50 disposed under the separator 40.
  • the separator 40 may be removed, which is described below (see FIG. 10 ).
  • the main body 30 has a solution discharging opening 32 at the center, a packing portion 31 at the top, and a locking step 33 preventing the fixed plate 50 from separating downward.
  • the separator 40 of the present invention is a circular plate and the configuration is shown in detailed in FIGS. 5 to 7 .
  • the separator 40 has a center groove 44 formed at a depth on the bottom of the circular plate, a plurality of separator flow paths 42 formed from the center groove 44 to the circumference, and separator flow path end holes 43 cut at a predetermined depth inside the circular plate at the ends of the separator flow paths 42.
  • protrusions 41 are formed at regular intervals on the top of the separator 40 and a flow path (46 in FIGS. 4 and 7 ) along which solution flows is defined between the protrusions 41 and the bottom of the main body 30.
  • the over-separator flow path 46 is connected with the solution discharging opening 32 of the main body 30 at the center of the separator 40, such that the solution flowing along the over-separator flow path 46 is discharged outside through the solution discharging opening 32.
  • the fixed plate 50 of the present invention is disposed under the separator 40 in close contact with the separator 40.
  • a through-hole 51 is formed at the center of the fixed plate 50 to guide the solution flowing through the neck portion 71 to the under-separator flow path 42.
  • FIG. 10 is a cross-sectional view showing another example of a closure device according to the present invention
  • FIGS. 11 and 12 are cross-sectional view of an example of the fixed plate shown in FIG. 10 , respectively
  • FIG. 13 is a plan view of another example of the fixed plate shown in FIG. 10 .
  • a closure device 50' shown in FIG. 10 is that shown in FIG. 4 with the separator 40 removed. That is, one fixed plate 50' is disposed in the main body 30.
  • the fixed plate 50' is a circular plate having a through-hole 51 at a predetermined position and a fixed-plate flow path 53 formed on the top at a predetermined depth from the through-hole 51 to the center.
  • the flow path 53a at the center of the fixed plate is connected with the bottom of the solution discharging opening 32 of the main body 30 to connect the flow of solution.
  • the through-hole 51 of the fixed plate is spaced at a predetermined distance from the center of the fixed plate 50' and the fixed-plate flow path 53 connected with the through-hole 51 is formed straight to the center of the fixed plate 50' (see FIGS. 11 and 12 ).
  • a flow path 57 is formed in a curve along the circumference of a fixed plate 50", extending from a through-hole 55 formed through the fixed plate 50", such that it is possible to make the fixed-plate flow path 57 long.
  • viscous force is generated by viscosity, which is a physical property of solution, due to the gaps of the flow paths 42, 46 defined between the main body 30 and the separator 40 or the main body 30 and the fixed plates 50, 50', 50", such that the viscous force prevents the solution from leaking, even if the container 70 is upside down.
  • FIG. 14 is a view showing when liquid is dispensed out of a container equipped with a closure device according to the present invention.
  • a user shakes the container 70 up and down or presses it with hands to user the liquid in the container 70, if needed, as shown in FIG. 14 , the solution is dispensed, because the external force applied to the outer circumference is larger than the viscous force of the solution in the closure device 40.
  • the gap between the separator 40 and the main body 30 depends on the viscosity of the solution and the viscous force can be adjusted by forming flow paths in various ways on the bottom of the separator 40.
  • liquid-state source such as soy source and vinegar
  • soy source and vinegar may pour down due to upside-down of the containers, and the users have to pay attention to pour the source with anxiety that too much source is dispensed and messes the taste of food.
