Claims (9)

  1. A container body having a receiving portion for receiving a beverage and an opening for discharging the beverage, and a first fastening screw portion provided on the outer surface of the opening; An outer lid having a second fastening screw portion that is screw-coupled to a first fastening screw portion of the container body on the inner side, and a circular protrusion protruding downward for a predetermined length on the inner upper surface; An inner lid that is inserted into the opening of the container body in a snap-fit manner and has a cylindrical storage portion of a predetermined length extending upward from the inner bottom surface, wherein the upper end of the cylindrical storage portion engages with the circular protrusion of the outer lid to seal the interior of the cylindrical storage portion; and It includes an opening member that stores a solid material inside, is inserted into the cylindrical storage portion of the inner lid, and has a downwardly protruding projection on the bottom edge to cut the bottom surface of the inner lid when the outer lid is rotated, thereby opening the bottom surface of the inner lid so that the inner lid and the container body are in communication. The above opening member comprises: a cylindrical body having an open bottom surface and a top surface and containing a solid material inside; a plurality of support ribs radially arranged at the bottom of the cylindrical body to support the solid material and allow a beverage to pass through; and a fourth fastening screw portion formed on the outer surface of the cylindrical body and screw-fastened to a third fastening screw portion formed on the inner surface of the inner lid. The above-mentioned opening member is arranged symmetrically with respect to each other along the radial direction on the inner circumferential surface of the cylindrical body and is provided with a pair of tapered stop portions that increase in thickness along the circumferential direction, The above outer lid includes a pair of protruding keys that extend downward for a predetermined length on the inner upper surface and come into contact with the pair of locking lugs. A beverage container containing a solid material, characterized in that when the outer lid rotates in one direction, the protruding key slides along the locking projection so that the opening member does not rotate, and when the outer lid rotates in the opposite direction, the protruding key catches on the locking projection so that the opening member rotates and moves downward, and the projection of the opening member cuts the bottom surface of the inner lid in a circular shape to open it.
  2. In paragraph 1, A beverage container containing a solid material, characterized in that the bottom surface of the inner lid is provided with a circular press-fit portion or a circular film portion with a thickness thinner than the surrounding area, and the circular press-fit portion or the circular film portion is cut and opened by contact with the protrusion resulting from the downward movement and rotational movement of the opening member.
  3. In paragraph 1, A beverage container for a solid material, characterized in that the cylindrical storage portion of the inner lid is provided with a flange portion having a '∩' shaped side cross-section on the upper outer side, and the flange portion engages with the circular protrusion, upper surface, and side surface of the outer lid to seal the space between the inner lid and the outer lid.
  4. In paragraph 3, A beverage container for a solid material, characterized in that the circular protrusion of the outer lid is formed in a shape that is obliquely inclined radially outward, thereby pressing the side of the cylindrical storage portion of the inner lid outward.
  5. In paragraph 3, The flange portion includes a first member extending horizontally outward from the top of the cylindrical storage portion and engaging with the upper surface of the outer lid, and a second member extending downward for a predetermined length from the first member and engaging with the side of the outer lid. The upper end of the opening of the container body is inserted and fastened between the cylindrical storage portion, the first member, and the second member. A beverage container containing a solid material, characterized in that the inner surface of the second member is provided with an inclined portion, a serrated portion, or a threaded portion that slopes obliquely toward the opening of the container body as it extends downward, and is fastened to the opening of the container body.
  6. In paragraph 1, The above container body includes a stepped portion provided at the lower part of the first fastening screw portion, and The outer lid includes a separating ring that extends from the lower portion of the outer lid with a predetermined width and is separated from the outer lid when the outer lid is opened, and remains on the stepped portion. A beverage container containing a solid material, characterized in that a plurality of small rods are provided between the outer lid and the separating ring, which are ruptured and separated from the outer lid by the rotational movement of the outer lid.
  7. In paragraph 6, A beverage container containing a solid material, characterized in that the separation ring has a locking rib extending obliquely upward toward the stepped portion of the container body on its inner surface, so that when the outer lid is opened, the separation ring remains on the outer surface of the opening of the container body at the lower part of the stepped portion.

Description

Beverage container with a built-in solid dosage form The present invention relates to a beverage container in which a solid material is contained, wherein the lid has a space for storing a solid material such as a pill, capsule, or granule, and when the lid is opened, the beverage and the solid material can be consumed in a mixed state. Generally, liquid beverages are provided in containers such as bottles, cups, or pouches, while vitamins, medicines, and functional supplements are consumed in the form of pills, capsules, powders, or granules stored in separate packaging containers. Consequently, users face the inconvenience of having to separately carry and open solid dosage forms, such as pills or supplements, to consume them while drinking beverages. To solve these problems, various types of containers and lids have been proposed in the past, which form a separate storage space for holding supplements or powders within the beverage container itself or the lid (cap) of the beverage container, and allow the storage space to be opened immediately before consumption to mix with or consume the supplements simultaneously with the beverage. For example, some conventional technologies are configured such that a receiving section for storing a functional supplement is formed inside the lid of a beverage container, and the supplement is introduced into the beverage as a barrier in the receiving section is broken by the action of rotating or squeezing the lid. Additionally, a technology is known in which pills or powder are stored inside the inner stopper by constructing a double-layered outer and inner stopper. However, these conventional technologies have the following limitations. First, the airtightness of the storage space accommodating the supplement or pill is insufficient, raising concerns that the pill or supplement may deteriorate or its quality may deteriorate due to the ingress of external air or moisture during long-term storage. Second, problems may arise where the beverage leaks out or the stored pills unintentionally fall out during the process of opening the lid or dispensing the supplement. Third, conventional structures involve complex formations of the storage space, opening mechanism, and sealing structure, which can lead to cumbersome manufacturing processes and increased production costs, as well as the disadvantage of being difficult for users to operate intuitively. Fourth, the process of mixing the pill or supplement with the beverage is not smooth, which may result in the pill not being completely separated or not being uniformly mixed within the beverage. Therefore, there is a continuously increasing demand for a container lid with a new structure that can safely accommodate liquid beverages and solid dosage forms such as pills or supplements in a single container, while maintaining a separated state during storage, and allowing the pills or supplements to be consumed together with the beverage with simple operation during use.
