Beverage container for injecting beverage through bottom thereof
A beverage container has a body having an inlet which is formed so as to penetrate the bottom of a receiving unit. A holder is coupled to the inlet to open and close the inlet upon ascending or descending with a nozzle of a beverage supply device being inserted into the holder. A locking member is coupled to the ascending/descending wall of the holder to allow the holder to close the inlet. The locking member has a plurality of elastic arms for elastically supporting the holder.
1. A beverage container comprising:
a main body having an inlet penetratingly formed in the bottom of a receiving unit thereof;
a holder, which is coupled to said inlet and opens and closes said inlet through ascending and descending thereof, wherein a nozzle of a beverage supplying apparatus is inserted; and
a locking member which is coupled to an elevating wall body of said holder and has a plurality of elastic arms elastically and downwardly supporting said holder which are in contact with the lower surface of said bottom of said main body so that said holder can close said inlet,
wherein said elastic arms are formed by cutting a portion of the body along an outer circumference of the center hole portion of said locking member and being upwardly bended for the elastic force of said elastic arms to be exerted,
and the space remaining after cutting off said portion of said body of said locking member is a receiving slot for accommodating said elastic arm being folded when said holder is descending.
2. The beverage container according to claim 1 , wherein said holder is provided with a packing member which is coupled to the lower portion of the upper wall body of said holder and in contact with said bottom of said main body around the circumference of said inlet.
3. The beverage container according to claim 2 , wherein said main body includes a seating portion which is formed of a partially recessed portion of said bottom around said circumference of said inlet for said packing member to be inserted into said seating portion and be tightly contacted on said seating portion.
4. The beverage container according to claim 1 , wherein said holder being coupled to said inlet includes:
an upper wall body covering said inlet;
said elevating wall body being coupled to said inlet wherein said nozzle of said beverage supplying apparatus is inserted and so that the up-down movement of said holder is ensured; and
a plurality of connecting bands which connect said upper wall body and said elevating wall body, wherein an injection portion is formed between the connecting bands.
5. The beverage container according to claim 2 , wherein said holder being coupled to said inlet includes:
an upper wall body covering said inlet;
said elevating wall body being coupled to said inlet wherein said nozzle of said beverage supplying apparatus is inserted and so that the up-down movement of said holder is ensured; and
a plurality of connecting bands which connect said upper wall body and said elevating wall body, wherein an injection portion is formed between the connecting bands.
6. The beverage container according to claim 3 , wherein said holder being coupled to said inlet includes:
an upper wall body covering said inlet;
said elevating wall body being coupled to said inlet wherein said nozzle of said beverage supplying apparatus is inserted and so that the up-down movement of said holder is ensured; and
a plurality of connecting bands which connect said upper wall body and said elevating wall body, wherein an injection portion is formed between the connecting bands.
