Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates generally to containers, and more particularly, to a container with double lids which comprise a locking lid and an observing lid, which is made of a material different from the locking lid and has a transparent plate to allow a user to easily observe contents in the container, and in which the locking lid has various colors, thus enhancing an appearance of the container.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- Generally, containers each include a container body which has a predetermined space to contain therein contents, and a lid to close an open top of the container body. The container further includes a locking flap which is provided on either of the container body and the lid, and a locking protrusion which is provided on a remaining one of the container body and the lid to lock thereto the locking flap. By locking the locking flap to the locking protrusion, the lid is coupled to the container body, thus preventing the contents in the container from undesirably leaking out.
- The containers are typically made of plastics, because the containers made of the plastics have several advantages in comparison with containers made of stainless or glass materials, as follows: processes of forming container products are simple, costs and weights of container products are reduced, and the container products are prevented from being damaged.
- As such, in case of the container made of the plastic, the locking flap is integrally provided on the container body or the lid. Furthermore, a film hinge is provided between the locking flap and either of the container body or the lid, so that the locking flap is rotated around the film hinge. To achieve the above-mentioned purpose of the film hinge, the container is made of a soft plastic which is a kind of plastic. If a hard plastic is used to produce the container, the film hinge may be broken by repeatedly rotating the locking flap.
- However, in case that the container is made of the soft plastic, the container must be translucent or opaque because of the special feature of the soft plastic in that transparency thereof is poor.
- As such, when the conventional containers are made of the above-mentioned translucent or opaque materials, users cannot confirm the contents, contained in the containers, without opening the containers. Therefore, to confirm the contents in each of the containers, the users must open each of the containers. Thus, the conventional containers cause inconvenience to the user.
- Furthermore, in case that the conventional containers made of the soft plastic are colored, the containers become further translucent or further opaque. Then, the users cannot confirm the contents in the container. To avoid the above-mentioned problem, typically, the conventional containers have been made of uncolored soft plastics, which are translucent. However, the uncolored containers are disadvantageous in that the appearances thereof are poor. To manufacture variously colored containers, the containers must be partially made of the hard plastic. However, in case that the hard plastic is used to manufacture the container, a part of the container, which is made of the hard plastic having a physical feature different from the soft plastic, may not be easily bonded with another part of the container, which is made of the soft plastic.
- Accordingly, the present invention has been made keeping in mind the above problems occurring in the prior art, and an object of the present invention is to provide a container with double lids, which has a transparent window to allow a user to confirm contents in the container.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a container with the double lids, which has a variety of colors, thus providing a good appearance.
- In order to accomplish the above object, the present invention provides a container with double lids, including a container body, a lid unit to close an open top of the container body, a locking flap provided on either of the container body and the lid unit, and a locking protrusion provided on a remaining one of the container body and the lid unit to lock thereto the locking flap. The lid unit has a locking lid made of a soft material and having a predetermined shape to correspond to an edge of the open top of the container body, with an opening provided at an inside part of the locking lid, and a rim-shaped receiving part provided on a lower end of the locking lid to receive therein the edge of the open top of the container body; and an observing lid, having a cover plate to be placed in the opening of the locking lid, and a coupling part extending outward from an edge of the cover plate to form a bent shape and to be inserted into the receiving part of the locking lid.
- The cover plate may be made of a transparent plastic or glass material to allow contents in the container to be observed.
- The coupling part of the observing lid may include a channel-shaped coupling slot opened downward to receive therein the edge of the open top of the container body, and the coupling part may be inserted into the rim-shaped receiving part of the locking lid.
- The container may further include a plurality of coupling protrusions provided by protruding upward on the coupling part of the observing lid at positions spaced out at predetermined intervals, and a plurality of coupling holes provided on predetermined portions of the receiving part of the locking lid to correspond to and receive therein the plurality of coupling protrusions.
- The container may further include an extension part extending from the rim-shaped receiving part of the locking lid to a predetermined distance inwardly.
- The container may further include an air hole provided on a predetermined portion of the cover plate of the observing lid, and an air control valve provided on a predetermined portion of the cover plate to control the air hole.
- The container may further include first and second bolt holes respectively provided on the channel-shaped coupling slot of the observing lid and the rim-shaped receiving part of the locking lid to be aligned with each other, so that the observing lid and the locking lid are coupled to each other by a bolt tightened into both the first and second bolt holes.
- The coupling part of the observing lid and the rim-shaped receiving part of the locking lid may be coupled to each other through an ultrasonic sealing process.
- The coupling part of the observing lid and the rim-shaped receiving part of the locking lid may be coupled to each other through a double injection process.

locking lid 25 of thelid unit 20 has a receivingpart 26 which has a reversed U-shaped cross-section to be opened downward and has the rim shape, such as a rectangular, circular or elliptical rim shape, to correspond to the edge of the open top of thecontainer body 10. Thelocking lid 25 further has a plurality oflocking flaps 27 which are provided on an outside of thereceiving part 26 at positions spaced out at predetermined intervals to correspond to the plurality oflocking protrusions 13 of thecontainer body 10. Each of thelocking flaps 27 is rotated between a position of locking thelocking flap 27 to thelocking protrusion 13 and a position of unlocking thelocking flaps 27 from thelocking protrusion 13. To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, thelocking lid 25 further has a film hinge which is provided between each of thelocking flaps 27 and the receivingpart 26 of thelocking lid 25. Thus, each of thelocking flaps 27 is rotated around each of the film hinges toward thecontainer body 10. Each of thelocking flaps 27 has alocking hole 28 to receive therein each of thelocking protrusions 13 of thecontainer body 10. When each of thelocking protrusions 13 is inserted into each of thelocking holes 28, thelocking protrusion 13 is elastically locked to thelocking hole 28 by thelocking protuberance 15 of each of thelocking protrusions 13. Thus, each of thelocking protrusions 13 is prevented from being undesirably removed from each of thelocking holes 28 of thelocking flaps 27. - The locking
lid 25 is made of an opaque or translucent soft plastic, so that the lockinglid 25 may be variously colored. Therefore, when a plurality of lockinglids 25 having different colors are provided, the user may selectively couple a lockinglid 25 of a desired color to thecontainer body 10 according to the purpose of use, contents in thecontainer body 10 or the atmosphere around the container. - The observing
lid 30 of thelid unit 20 has acover plate 31 to close the opening the lockinglid 25, and acoupling part 32 which has acoupling slot 33 extending outward from an edge of thecover plate 31 to form a channel-shape to be opened downward. Thecover plate 31 of the observinglid 30 is made of a transparent material, such as a transparent hard plastic or glass material, different from the lockinglid 25. Thus, thecover plate 31 has a transparent window. -
FIG. 3 is a sectional view of the container, according to a modification of the first embodiment ofFIG. 1 . As shown inFIG. 3 , the container according to the modification of the first embodiment includes anair control valve 37 which is provided by passing through thecover plate 31 at an inside part of thecover plate 31. Theair control valve 37 controls an amount of air in the containing space of thecontainer body 10 to create a vacuum in thecontainer body 10, thus preventing foods contained in thecontainer body 10 from deteriorating, and thereby maintaining the quality of the foods. - In the meantime, the
coupling part 32 with thecoupling slot 33 receives therein the edge of the open top of thecontainer body 10. A packing 35 is inserted in thecoupling slot 33 to seal thecontainer body 10. Furthermore, thecoupling part 32 of the observinglid 30 is inserted into the receivingpart 26 of the lockinglid 25, so that the observinglid 30 and the lockinglid 25 are coupled to each other. - At this time, there are several methods to couple the observing
lid 30 to the lockinglid 25 by inserting thecoupling part 32 of the observinglid 30 into the receivingpart 26 of the lockinglid 25. - In a first coupling method, the
coupling part 32 of the observinglid 30 is received in the receivingpart 26 of the lockinglid 25 without a separate coupling means. To couple both the observinglid 30 and the lockinglid 25 to thecontainer body 10, the observinglid 30 is coupled to thecontainer body 10 while the edge of the open top of thecontainer body 10 is inserted into thecoupling slot 33 of the observinglid 30. Thereafter, the lockinglid 25 is coupled to an upper portion of the observinglid 30 while thecoupling part 32 of the observinglid 30 is received into the receivingpart 26 of the lockinglid 25. To separate both the lockinglid 25 and the observinglid 30 from thecontainer body 10, the lockinglid 25 is removed from the observinglid 30 before the observinglid 30 is removed from thecontainer body 10. - In a second coupling method, as a second embodiment shown in
FIGS. 4 and 5 , a plurality ofcoupling protrusions 39 are provided by protruding upward around a circumferential upper surface of thecoupling part 32 of the observinglid 30 at positions spaced out at predetermined intervals. A plurality of coupling holes 29 are provided on predetermined portions of the receivingpart 26 of the lockinglid 25 to correspond to and receive therein the plurality ofcoupling protrusions 39. Thus, the lockinglid 25 and the observinglid 30 are coupled to each other while each of the plurality ofcoupling protrusions 39 of the observinglid 30 is inserted into each of the plurality of coupling holes 29 of the lockinglid 25. - In a third coupling method, after the
coupling part 32 of the observinglid 30 is received in the receivingpart 26 of the lockinglid 25, thecoupling part 32 of the observinglid 30 and the receivingpart 26 of the lockinglid 25 are coupled to each other through an ultrasonic sealing process. - In a fourth coupling method, first and second bolt holes (not shown) are respectively provided on the
coupling part 32 of the observinglid 30 and the receivingpart 26 of the lockinglid 25 to be aligned with each other. Thus, the observinglid 30 and the lockinglid 25 are coupled to each other by a locking bolt (not shown) tightened into both the first and second bolt holes. - In a fifth coupling method, the
coupling part 32 of the observinglid 30 and the receivingpart 26 of the lockinglid 25 are coupled to each other through a double injection process. - Except for the above-mentioned several coupling methods, another coupling method may exist, for example, use of a bonding agent. However, the locking
lid 25 is made of the soft plastic, while the observinglid 30 is made of the hard plastic or a glass material. In other words, the materials constituting the lockinglid 25 and the observinglid 30 are different from each other. Therefore, the lockinglid 25 and the observinglid 30 are not easily coupled to each other by using only the bonding agent. Thus, the coupling method using the bonding agent is less advantageous than the others which are above-mentioned. - The operation and effect of the container of the present invention will be described herein below.
- The contents are contained in the
container body 10. Thereafter, thelid unit 20 comprising the lockinglid 25 and the observinglid 30, which are coupled to each other through one method among the above-mentioned several coupling methods, is coupled to thecontainer body 10. At this time, the edge of the open top of thecontainer body 10 is received in thecoupling slot 33 of the observinglid 30. By the packing 35, which is provided in thecoupling slot 33, a gap between thelid unit 20 and the edge of the open top of thecontainer body 10 is sealed. Thereafter, each of the plurality of lockingflaps 27, provided on the lockinglid 25, is rotated downward until each of the lockingprotrusions 13 of thecontainer body 10 is locked to each of the locking holes 28 of the locking flaps 27. In case of the container according to the modification of the first embodiment, after both the lockinglid 25 and the observinglid 30 are coupled to thecontainer body 10, a central portion of the observinglid 30 is pressed downward by a user to discharge the air from the containing space of thecontainer body 10 to the outside through air hole provided on thecover plate 31 of the observinglid 30. Thus, thelid unit 20 is further tightly coupled to thecontainer body 10. - At this time, because the
lid unit 20 comprises the lockinglid 25 having the variety of colors and the observinglid 30 having thecover plate 31 to form the transparent window, the user can observe the interior of thecontainer body 10 through the transparent window. Accordingly, it is not necessary to open each of the containers to confirm of the contents in the containers, different from the conventional containers. Thus, the container of the present invention is convenient to the user. - In the meantime, because the locking
lid 25 is made of the soft material in the same manner as that of the conventional containers, the lockinglid 25 of the container of the present invention may be variously colored. Therefore, when a plurality of lockinglids 25 having different colors are provided, the user may selectively purchase a container having a lockinglid 25 of a desired color. Furthermore, the user may purchase a set of lockinglids 25 each having a different color, so that the user may selectively use a lockinglid 25 of a desired color according to contents in thecontainer body 10, the atmosphere around the container, or the purpose of use of the container. In addition, because the observinglid 30 has the transparent window and the lockinglid 25 is variously colored, the container of the present invention may be provided into two or more tones, thus enhancing the appearance of the container. - In the container of each of the above-mentioned first and second embodiments, the locking
lid 25 has a rim shape to provide the receivingpart 26. However, as shown inFIG. 6 , a container according to the third embodiment includes anextension part 24 which extends inwardly from a receivingpart 26 of a lockinglid 25 to a predetermined distance. Theextension part 24 of the lockinglid 25 is bent at an end thereof downwardly. The container according to the third embodiment further includes a receivingslot 34 which is provided by depressing downward a predetermined portion of acover plate 31 of the observinglid 30 to correspond to and receive therein the bent end of theextension part 24. Thus, theextension part 24 made of a soft material is prevented from being undesirably separated from the observinglid 30. Theextension part 24 may extend inwardly from the receivingpart 26 of the lockinglid 25 to the same predetermined distance. Alternatively, theextension part 24 may be different in the protruded distance thereof while extending in the circumferential direction of the receivingpart 26. According to the protruded distance of theextension part 24, the appearance of a transparent window, which is formed by thecover plate 31 of the observinglid 30, is determined. Therefore, the transparent window of the observinglid 30 may have various appearances by theextension part 24, thus enhancing the appearance of the container. - In the container of each of the above-mentioned first, second and third embodiments, the locking
protrusions 13 each having the lockingprotuberance 15 are protruded outward from theseating rib 11 of thecontainer body 10. However, the plurality of lockingprotuberances 15 may be provided on the outer edge of theseating rib 11 to extend downwardly. In this case, each of the locking flaps 27 has a hook, which is provided on an inner surface of the lockingflap 27 and is bent to correspond to the lockingprotuberance 15, which is provided on theseating rib 11, in place of the lockinghole 28. Thus, when each of the locking flaps 27 is pressed toward theseating rib 11, the hook of the lockingflap 27 elastically snaps to each of the lockingprotuberances 15 of theseating rib 11. Therefore, thelid unit 20 is reliably coupled to thecontainer body 10 by the above-mentioned locking structure. - Furthermore, in the container of each of the first, second and third embodiments, both the
seating rib 11 and the lockingprotuberances 15 are provided on thecontainer body 10, while the locking flaps 27 are provided on thelid unit 20. However, both theseating rib 11 and the lockingprotuberances 15 may be provided on thelid unit 20, while the locking flaps 27 may be provided on thecontainer body 10. - As described above, the present invention provides a container with double lids which comprise a locking lid made of a soft material and an observing lid made of a hard material. Therefore, the container of the present invention allows a user to observe contents of the container through the observing lid, thus being convenient to the user. Furthermore, because the locking lid may be variously colored, the container of the present invention provides the double lids of two tones, thus enhancing the appearance thereof.
- Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been disclosed-for illustrative purposes, those skilled in the art will appreciate that various modifications, additions and substitutions are possible, without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention as disclosed in the accompanying claims.
