Abstract

A closed container cover includes an upper plate moves down in accordance with rotation of a rotary knob and pushes outward a packing portion provided on a circumference of a lower plate, thereby having advantages that an inside of a container main body is easily closed by a simple operation, and production processes are decreased with the minimum elements to increase efficiencies of the production and the processes and significantly reduce production costs and lowering a selling price.

Claims (10)

1. A closed container cover ( 100 ), which is coupled to an upper portion of a quadrangular container main body ( 200 ) and closes an inside of the container main body ( 200 ), the closed container cover ( 100 ) comprising:

an upper plate ( 110 ) configured to comprise a coupling hole ( 111 ) formed in a center portion thereof, and a stepped portion ( 112 ) formed on an inner surface of the coupling hole ( 111 );

a rotary knob ( 120 ) configured to be inserted in the coupling hole ( 111 ), and comprising a wing ( 121 ) formed on an upper outer surface thereof and seated on the stepped portion ( 112 ), and a screw thread ( 122 ) formed an a lower outer surface;

a lower plate ( 130 ) configured to couple with the upper plate ( 110 ), and comprising a top coupling groove ( 131 ) formed in a center portion thereof and screw-coupling with the rotary knob ( 120 ), and an insertion groove ( 132 ) formed on an outer surface thereof; and

a packing portion ( 140 ) configured to be made of an elastic material and inserted in the insertion groove ( 132 ), and comprising a circumferential surface tapering outward, wherein

the upper plate ( 110 ) moves down so that an outer surface of the upper plate ( 110 ) can press an inner surface of the packing portion ( 140 ) and an outer surface of the packing portion ( 140 ) can be in contract with an inner surface of the container main body ( 100 ) if the rotary knob ( 120 ) is rotated in a state that the lower plate ( 130 ) is seated on an inner receiving projection ( 210 ) of the container main body ( 200 );

the packing portion ( 140 ) comprises a contact surface ( 141 ) formed on an outer circumference thereof and having the same angle as the inner surface of the container main body ( 200 ) so as to be in close contact with the inner surface of the container main body ( 200 ) when the packing portion ( 140 ) is expanded outward as the upper plate ( 110 ) moves down; and

the upper plate ( 110 ) comprises an inclined surface ( 113 ) formed on an outer circumference thereof at the same angle as the inner surface of the packing portion ( 140 ).

2. The combination of the cover and the container according to claim 1 , wherein the upper plate ( 110 ) comprises a reinforcing rib ( 114 ) formed at a bottom corner thereof and arranged in a diagonal direction to transfer pressure to corners of the packing portion while the upper plate ( 110 ) is moved down by rotation of the rotary knob ( 120 ).

3. The combination of the cover and the container according to claim 2 , wherein the upper plate ( 110 ) comprises an outer rib ( 115 ) formed on a bottom circumference thereof and preventing the upper plate ( 110 ) from rotating in the same direction as the rotary knob ( 120 ) while the upper plate ( 110 ) is moved down by the rotation of the rotary knob ( 120 ).
