Container with double lids

Abstract

The present invention provides a container with double lids, which has 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 of the container of the present invention includes a locking lid which is made of a soft material and has 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. The observing lid includes 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 and to be inserted into the receiving part of the locking lid. 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 of color, thus enhancing the appearance thereof.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] 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. [0003] 2. Description of the Related Art [0004] 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 coup...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0011] 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.

Problems solved by technology

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.

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.

However, the uncolored containers are disadvantageous in that the appearances thereof are poor.

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.
