BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Field of the Invention
[0001] The disclosure relates to an airtight container, and more particularly to an airtight
container having an improved structure to prevent a pop-up phenomenon that a cover
pops up as internal pressure increases due to generation of gas, fermentation, etc.
inside the container in a state that the container and the cover are coupled.
Description of the Related Art
[0002] In general, food is put in an airtight container so that the food can be maintained
for a long time and stored hygienically, and an appropriate amount of food is taken
out of the air container as necessary.
[0003] Such an airtight container has a structure for preventing air from flowing into or
out of the airtight container. To this end, an elastic packing is typically provided
in a coupling portion between a container body and a cover.
[0004] The airtight container is made of synthetic resin, glass, ceramic, or etc. according
to the kinds, storage purpose/use, etc. of food to be stored therein. The container
made of glass or ceramic may be manually manufactured by a user in person as well
as mechanical methods.
[0005] The airtight container with the foregoing structure has been disclosed in various
embodiment. As an airtight container cover for maintaining the airtightness of the
airtight container, there has been disclosed Patent Document 1 titled "airtight container
(
Korean Patent No. 10-1726702/ laid open on May 8, 2017)" applied and registered by the present applicant.
[0006] The "airtight container" of Patent Document 1 discloses an airtight container cover
100 coupled to an upper portion of a rectangular parallelepiped container body 200
and sealing the inside of the container body 200 according to operations. The airtight
container includes an upper plate 110 formed with a coupling hole 111 at the center
thereof and a stepped portion 112 formed on an inner surface of the coupling hole
111; a rotary grip 120 inserted in the coupling hole 111, including a wing portion
121 formed in an upper outer surface and seated on the stepped portion 112, and formed
with a screw thread 122 on a lower outer surface; a lower plate 130 coupled to the
upper plate 110, centrally formed with a tap coupling groove 131 bolted to the rotary
grip 120, and formed with an insertion groove 132 on an outer surface thereof; and
an elastic packing 140 inserted in the insertion groove 132 and having an outer circumferential
surface tapering outwards. When the rotary grip 120 is rotated in the state that the
lower plate 130 is seated on a lower cover supporting member 115 of the container
body 200, the upper plate 110 moves down so that the outer surface of the upper plate
110 can press the inner surface of the packing 140, thereby making the outer surface
of the packing 140 come into contact with the inner surface of the container body
200. The packing 140 includes a close-contact surface 141 on the outer circumference
thereof to be formed at the same angle as the inner surface of the container body
200 so as to be in close contact with the inner surface of the container body 200
when the packing 140 is opened outwards as the upper plate 110 moves down, and the
upper plate 110 includes an inclined portion 113 on the outer circumference thereof
to be formed at the same angle as the inner surface of the packing 140. With such
features, the related art has advantages that the inside of the container body is
easily closed by a simple operation because the upper cover moves down and pushes
the packing provided in the lower cover circumference in an outward direction according
to whether the rotary grip is rotated or not, and production and processing efficiencies
are increased and production costs and selling prices are significantly decreased
because a production process is reduced due to the minimum structure.
[0007] Such an airtight container maintains the airtightness between the container body
and the cover so that food or the like accommodated in an airtight space can avoid
contact with air if possible and be stored for a long time. However, there may occur
a pop-up phenomenon that the cover pops up when the internal pressure of the airtight
container is increased as the airtight container and contents put therein are heated
in a microwave oven or the like heating container, or kimchi or the like is fermented,
and so on,
[0008] Accordingly, it is necessary to prevent such a pop-up phenomenon, simplify the structure
without a screw structure, improve economic efficiency with fewer parts, and increase
aesthetic beauty.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0029] Below, an airtight container 1000 according to an embodiment of the disclosure will
be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3C.
[0030] FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of an airtight container according to an embodiment
of the disclosure, FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the airtight container shown
in FIG. 1, and FIGS. 3A to 3C are cross-sectional views and/or partially enlarged
views for describing operations of an airtight container according to an embodiment
of the disclosure.
[0031] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3C, the airtight container 1000 according to an embodiment
of the disclosure includes a container body 1300 with an opening 1380 opened upward,
and a cover 1500 for opening and closing the opening 1380. The container body 1300
includes a bottom 1310, a wall 1330 extended upward from the edge of the bottom 1310,
and a cover contact portion 1370 provided at a top portion of the wall 1330 to come
into contact with the cover 1500. The cover 1500 includes a cover body 1530 with glass
centrally positioned, and a cover seal 1550 of which an inward side is coupled around
the cover body 1530 and an outward side can be coupled to the wall 1330 and the cover
contact portion 1370 to maintain sealing between the container body 1300 and the cover
1500. The cover seal 1550 includes a sealing body 1551 coupled to surround the cover
body 1530, a container contact portion 1554 provided beneath the sealing body 1551
and shaped corresponding to the cover contact portion 1370 to come into contact with
the cover contact portion 1370, a sealing skirt 1556 extended downwards from an inward
plate surface of the container contact portion 1554, and a horizontal rib 1557 bent
outwards from an end portion of the sealing skirt 1556 and elastically transformable
for sealing between the container body 1300 and the cover 1500 by coming into contact
with the wall 1330 while the opening 1380 is closed.
[0032] Hereinafter, a position where the cover 1500 is coupled to the opening 1380 of the
container body 1300 and airtightness between the container body 1300 and the cover
1500 will be referred to as a coupled position (see FIGS. 2 and 3B), and a position
where the cover 1500 is separated from the opening 1380 of the container body 1300
will be referred to as a separated position (see FIGS. 1 and 3A).
[0033] To form a space for accommodating food or the like contents therein, the container
body 1300 includes the bottom 1310, the wall 1330 extended upward from an end portion
of the bottom 1310, and the opening 1380 opened along the inner circumference of the
wall 1330.
[0034] The container body 1300 may be made of various materials. According to an embodiment
of the disclosure, the container body 1300 may be made of ceramic, and the cover body
1530 (to be described later) is made of glass enabling its contents to be seen.
[0035] In the container body 1300, the outer surface of the bottom 1310 and the outer surface
of the wall 1330 are provided to form the external aesthetic characteristics of the
bottom and lateral sides of the airtight container 1000. In particular, when the container
body 1300 is made of ceramic, the airtight container 1000 may have unique aesthetic
beauty of ceramics.
[0036] According to an embodiment of the disclosure, the container body 1300 is shaped like
a cylinder by way of example. Alternatively, the container body may be shaped like
a rectangular parallelepiped or the like without departing from the scope of the disclosure.
[0037] The wall 1330 is formed with an inclined portion 1350 to gradually decrease the inner
diameter of the container body 1300 toward the top portion of the wall 1330 and make
force of friction with a rib stepped portion 1557a of the horizontal rib 1557 elastically
transformed (to be described later) be greater than force of the cover 1500 moving
upwards and separating from the container body 1300, thereby preventing the cover
1500 from popping up from the container body 1300.
[0038] Here, the inclination (see 'A' in FIG. 3A) of the inclined portion 1350 may be varied
depending on the smoothness of the inclined portion 1350, the thickness of the rib
stepped portion 1557a, the material of the cover seal 1550, etc. According to an embodiment,
the inclined portion 1350 may have an inclination of 6 ± 1.5 degrees.
[0039] The top portion of the wall 1330 is used as the cover contact portion 1370 to come
into contact with the cover 1500.
[0040] The cover 1500 (except a grip 1552) is shaped corresponding to the opening 1380 of
the container body 1300, and may, as described above, include the cover body 1530
made of glass, and the cover seal 1550 coupled to the cover body 1530 while surrounding
the cover body 1530 and elastically transformable to maintain the airtightness of
the airtight container 1000 at the coupled position where the cover seal 1550 is detachably
coupled to the container body 1300 to close the opening 1380.
[0041] The cover seal 1550 may include the sealing body 1551, the grip 1552, a through hole
1553, the container contact portion 1554, a body coupling groove 1555, the sealing
skirt 1556, and the horizontal rib 1557 having the rib stepped portion 1557a. The
cover seal 1550 may be made of various materials. According to an embodiment of the
disclosure, the cover seal 1550 may be made of silicon.
[0042] The sealing body 1551 includes the body coupling groove 1555 recessed at an inner
side thereof to couple with the cover body 1530, the grip 1552 formed at one side
thereof and gripped by a user, in particular, when the cover 1500 is separated from
the container body 1300, thereby exhibiting the aesthetic beauty of the upper portion
of the airtight container 1000 together with the cover body 1530 and supporting the
other elements.
[0043] The sealing skirt 1556 is vertically extended downwards from the inner side of the
sealing body 1551 while forming an approximately annular shape, and functions to support
the horizontal rib 1557 provided at a lower end.
[0044] The sealing skirt 1556 is coupled to the sealing body 1115 while having an outer
circumferential surface not to be in contact with the wall 1330 or the inclined portion
1350 of the container body 1300 at the coupled position (see `GAP' in FIGS. 2 and
3C).
[0045] With this structure, the technical idea of the disclosure is implemented such that
the container body 1300 and the cover 1500 are maintained as coupled at the coupled
position based on frictional force and elastic transformation between the inclined
portion 1350 of the container body 1300 and the rib stepped portion 1557a of the horizontal
rib 1557.
[0046] At least one through hole 1553 is formed penetrating the sealing skirt 1556 to maintain
a balance between pressure generated inside the container body 1300 and external pressure
at the coupled position.
[0047] By the through holes 1553, the internal pressure of the container body 1300 can be
equal to the external pressure.
[0048] For example, when the internal pressure is generated inside the container body 1300
(e.g., when gas or the like is generated as the container body is heated, contents
inside the container body are fermented, etc.), the gas may be discharged through
the through holes 1553 so that the internal pressure can be equal to the atmospheric
pressure.
[0049] Further, when the inside of the container body 1300 becomes a vacuum (e.g., when
relatively hot contents cool, etc.), a user holds the grip 1552 of the cover 1500
and separates the container contact portion 1554 from the cover contact portion 1370
to release the vacuum through the through holes 1553 as the internal pressure of the
container body 1300 becomes equal to the atmospheric pressure. As the vacuum is released,
a user can more easily separate the cover 1500 from the container body 1300.
[0050] Beneath the sealing body 1551 and on the outer surface of the sealing skirt 1556,
the container contact portion 1554 is formed and shaped corresponding to the cover
contact portion 1370 of the container body 1300.
[0051] The horizontal rib 1557 is bent outwards from the end portion of the sealing skirt
1556 and elastically transformable to come into contact with the wall 1330 and seal
and maintain the airtightness between the container body 1300 and the cover 1500 while
the opening 1380 is closed with the cover 1500.
[0052] Further, the rib stepped portion 1557a may be formed at the outward side of the horizontal
rib 1557. The rib stepped portion 1557a is thicker than the inward side of the horizontal
rib 1557 and generates the frictional force while being in contact with the wall 1330
and/or the inclined portion 1350.
[0053] In other words, as shown in FIG. 3A, the cross-sectional thickness (see 't1' in FIG.
3A) of the horizontal rib 1557 coupled to the sealing skirt 1556 and shaped like a
plate is thinner than the cross-sectional thickness (see 't2' in FIG. 3A) of the rib
stepped portion 1557a shaped like a plate.
[0054] Further, the inner diameter (see
'Ida
' in FIG. 3A) of the rib stepped portion 1557a may be greater than the inner diameter
(see 'IDb' in FIG. 3A) of the wall 1330. With this structure, the airtightness between
the container body 1300 and the cover 1500 is more appropriately maintained, and the
coupled position where the container body 1300 and the cover 1500 are coupled is stably
maintained.
[0055] In the airtight container 1000 according to an embodiment of the disclosure, the
wall 1330 of the container body 1300 forms a circle, the thin plate of the horizontal
rib 1557 has a cross-sectional thickness of 1.1 mm, and the thick plate of the rib
stepped portion 1557a has a cross-sectional thickness of 1.6 mm. Further, the rib
stepped portion 1557a has an inner diameter of 121.78mm and an outer diameter of 125.68
mm, the wall 1330 has an inner diameter of 123 mm, and the inclined portion 1350 has
a height of about 9mm. In addition, a distance from a start point of the inclined
portion 1350 to the top portion of the container body 1300 is 10 mm, and a distance
from the cover contact portion 1370 to the rib stepped portion 1557a is 10.50mm.
[0056] The operations of the airtight container 1000 with this structure will be described
below with reference to FIG. 3A to 3C.
[0057] FIG. 3A shows the separated position where the container body 1300 is separated from
the cover 1500.
[0058] In this state, the cover 1500 is gradually moved toward the coupled position and
moved to the opening 1380 like the dotted lines, thereby coupling with the container
body 1300.
[0059] In the state shown in the dotted line of FIG. 3A, a user presses the upper side and
the edge areas of the cover 1500 so as to maintain the coupled position between the
container body 1300 and the cover 1500.
[0060] While moving from the separated position to the coupled position, the thick portion
of the rib stepped portion 1557a provided at the outward side of the horizontal rib
1557 may move downwards along the inclined portion 1350 inside the wall 1330 and functions
to guide the central lines (see 'CL' in FIGS. 1 to 3C) of the cover 1500 and the container
body 1300 to be aligned with each other. In other words, the thick rib stepped portion
1557a of the horizontal rib 1557 is bent to guide the central line of the cover 1500
to be aligned with the central line of the container body 1300, so that the central
line of the cover 1500 and the central line of the container body 1300 can be maintained
as aligned at the coupled position.
[0061] Further, in the coupled position as shown in FIG. 3B, the container contact portion
1554 is in contact with the cover contact portion 1370 on the top portion of the wall
1330, and the rib stepped portion 1557a is in contact with the inclined portion 1350
inside the wall 1330 as shown in FIG. 3C. In this state, as shown in FIG. 3C, the
frictional force and elastic restoring force (see
'Fpush
' in FIG. 3C) based on the contact between the inclined portion 1350 and the rib stepped
portion 1557a are greater than the internal pressure (see 'P' in FIG. 3C) generated
in the container body 1300, thereby preventing the cover 1500 from popping up and
separating from the container body 1300 by the internal pressure generated inside
the container body 1300.
[0062] On the other hand, although the internal pressure generated inside the container
body 1300 is gradually increased, the internal pressure of the container body 1300
is lowered as gas in the container body 1300 is discharged to the outside through
the through hole 1553 between the cover contact portion 1370 and the container contact
portion 1554.
[0063] Thus, according to the disclosure, there is provided an airtight container which
prevents a pop-up phenomenon that a cover is separated from a container body by internal
pressure.
[0064] Further, there is provided an airtight container which has a simple structure, is
easy to use, and includes fewer parts.
[0065] In addition, there is provided an airtight container in which a cover is easily guided
to be in position with respect to a container body (the central lines of the cover
and the container body are easily guided to be aligned) while the cover is coupled
to the container body.
[0066] Further, there is provided an airtight container in which pressure generated by sealing
between a container body and a cover is easily removed while the cover is separated
from the container body.
[0067] In addition, there is provided an airtight container which is economically and aesthetically
improved because fewer parts are used to maintain airtightness.
[0068] Although several embodiments of the disclosure have been illustrated and described,
it will be obvious to a person having ordinary knowledge in the art that various changes
can be made in the embodiments without departing from the principles of the disclosure.
Accordingly, the scope of the disclosure is defined by the appended claims and their
equivalents.
