TITLE

SECURITY CLOSURE

TECHNICAL FIELD

[1 ] This invention is about a safety cap for a bottle. In details, it is

about a container with a safety part that prevents the distinct materials

contained in a cap from being mixed with the contents of the container

when the container is dropped from a height. Especially, the objective

of this invention is to keep children or the mentally handicapped who

lack the intellectual abilities from using the container on their own.

[2] And, the other objective is to prevent the cap from being

separated from the container after the contents in the cap are mixed.

Background Art

[3] In general, the content of a container is discharged by tilting the

container after opening the cap in the upper area of the container.

[4] There exist other types of safety caps- upper area pressurization

types or side pressurization types that prevents the mentally

handicapped from opening the cap on their own. However, they are

rather descriptions of simple caps with safety devices.

Disclosure of invention

Technical Problems

[5] The objective of this invention is to prevent people from opening

the cap of the container on their own and to prevent the distinct

materials in the cap from being mixed with the contents of the

container.

[6] Other objective of this invention is to successfully separate the

contents of the cap and the container and to enhance the safety of the

productCquality, flavor).

Technical solution

[7] In order to achieve the abovementioned objectives, the cap

described in this invention includes an operating unit or fixing unit or a

main operating unit whose both sides are equipped with a sub

operating unit that prevents the distinct material in the cap from falling

and it is open only if the both sides of the cap are squeezed to touch

each other.

Advantageous effects

[8] This invention is desirable for a container with vitamin or

children's cough pills. Especially, it offers great advantages as a

safety cap for children since it can prevent them from opening the cap

due to the lack of senses or the negligence of the elders.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

[17] Hereinafter, the descriptions of the desirable sample

configuration based on the diagrams are given as follows.

[18] Diagram 1 represents a desirable sample configuration of this

invention. The cap containing the distinct materials(l) is made of the

fixing unit(lOO) assembled with the opening of the container(300) and

the operating unit(200) assembled into the fixing unit.

[19] And, the upper operating unit(200) forms the accepting unit(201)

with storage space(202) and below the upper operating unit, there is

the cutting protrusion area(203) and in the fixing unit(lOO)

corresponding to the abovementioned accepting unit(201). There exist

the cutting protrusion space (103) made of the cutting layer(lθl) and

the cutting protrusion area(203) partitioned by the cutting line(102)

[20] In addition, in the fixing unit(lOO) mentioned above, there exists

the elastic pin(203) forming a certain angle away from the fixing

protrusion(103) and the operating protrusion(204) that is combined

with the fixing protrusion when it loses elasticity. The abovementioned

fixing protrusion(104) and the operating protrusion(205) are separated

from each other as shown in Diagram 3. In Diagram 4, and these two

protrusions are combined together after the user presses the

operating unit(200) and the upper area(206).

[21 ] And between the fixing unit(lOO) and the operating unit(200),

desirably, there exists the operating elastic pin(208) and it is located

on the inner wall of the side area(207). When the cap it closed, the

operating elastic pin(208) is hooked in the fixing elastic pin(105) and

when the cap is opened, the operating elastic pin(208) is moved over

the fixing elastic pin(105). However, various types of different designs

can be implemented as well.

[22] As shown in Diagram 2, the cap(l) described in this invention

allows entry of distinct materials and when the operating unit(200) is

opened in the abovementioned condition, the cutting protrusion(203) is

forced to remove the cutting layer(lθl) and at the same time, the

distinct material in the storage space(202) falls to the bottom and then

it is mixed with the contents of the container.

[23] In addition, if you want to discharge the mixture of the distinct

material and the content of the container, you should press the

operating unit(200) and hook the operating protrusion(205) in the

fixing protrusion(104). Then, the operating unit(200) and the fixing

unit(lOO) are successfully released.

[24] And, the storage space(202) and the accepting unit(201) can be

substituted by various types of implementation including insertion of

distinct material or adding a cutting layer(lθl).

[25] Therefore, if the structure of this invention does not allow the

abovementioned cap(l) to be easily removed from the container(300),

various methods can be applied to implementation of the cap(l)

containing the distinct material and also the storage space for distinct

material in the cap(l) can be implemented in various ways.

[26] Diagram 7 is another sample configuration of the invention. To

prevent the cutting line(102) from being destroyed easily, the

protection materials(106, 107) are added to the upper and lower area

of the cutting line(102).

[27] As another sample configuration, Diagram 8 represents a case

where an additional cutting layer(lθl) is implemented. Diagram 9

represents a case where the cutting layer(lθl) maintains a constant

angle. Diagram 10 represents an assembly condition of the cutting

layer(lθl).

[28] As another example, Diagram 11 represents a variant of the

cap(l). As the operating unit(200) is opened, the guide(108) helps its

vertical movement, so that the closed area(109) moves away from the

holed 10) and the distinct material in the storage space(202) falls to

the bottom of the container(300).

[29] The symbol(l l l) not explained refers to the closed area, while

(112), (113), (209) and (217) refer to the skirt, the extension, the

operating tool and the cover, respectively.

[30] As another example(Diagram 12), the rubber(210) having the

protection layer(211) is formed in order to allow you to extract the

content using a syringe while the cap(l) with the distinct material is

not peeled off.

[31] As another examρle(Diagram 13), Diagram 13 represents an

additional way to discharge the content mixed with the distinct

materials. In order to prevent the sealed cap(213) formed on the

operating hole(212) from being opened easily, we have installed the

fixing protrusion(216) in the fixing groove(215) in the lower area of

the guidance groove(214). When this type of product is used, you

should align the fixing protrusion(216) with the guidance groove(214)

along the external marking and lift it up to discharge the distinct

materials.

[32] As another example(Diagram 14), it represents another shape of

cap(l) where the mixture of distinct material can be discharged.

[33] As another example(Diagram 15), it represents another shape of

cap(l) where the external area of the main operating unit(218) is

combined with the sub operating unit(219).

[34] As another example(Diagram 16), it represents another type of

cap(l) where distinct materials are mixed together. As the main

operating unit(218) is lifted up by the sub operating unit(219), the

storage space is opened.

[35] As another exampleCDiagram 17), it represents another structure

of cap(l) where distinct materials are mixed together. It is made of the

inner wall area(114) that does not include a screw that is fixed to the

neck of the container. In any case, the cap(l) can't be removed from

the container(300) and it is applicable to various types of structure.

INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY

[36] This invention can be widely applied to vitamins, alcohols,

chemical products or pharmaceutical products as a safety measure.
