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.

1 . A container with double lids, comprising 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 comprising: 
 a locking lid made of a soft material and having 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, comprising: 
 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 to form a bent shape and to be inserted into the receiving part of the locking lid.  
   
   
   
       2 . The container according to  claim 1 , wherein the cover plate is made of a transparent plastic or glass material to allow contents in the container to be observed.  
   
   
       3 . The container according to  claim 2 , wherein the coupling part of the observing lid comprises a channel-shaped coupling slot opened downward to receive therein the edge of the open top of the container body, and the coupling part is inserted into the rim-shaped receiving part of the locking lid.  
   
   
       4 . The container according to  claim 3 , further comprising: 
 a plurality of coupling protrusions provided by protruding upward on the coupling part of the observing lid at positions spaced out at predetermined intervals; and    a plurality of coupling holes provided on predetermined portions of the receiving part of the locking lid to correspond to and receive therein the plurality of coupling protrusions.    
   
   
       5 . The container according to  claim 1 , further comprising: 
 an extension part extending from the rim-shaped receiving part of the locking lid to a predetermined distance inwardly.    
   
   
       6 . The container according to  claim 1 , further comprising: 
 an air hole provided on a predetermined portion of the cover plate of the observing lid; and    an air control valve provided on a predetermined portion of the cover plate to control the air hole.    
   
   
       7 . The container according to  claim 3 , further comprising: 
 first and second bolt holes respectively provided on the channel-shaped coupling slot of the observing lid and the rim-shaped receiving part of the locking lid to be aligned with each other, so that the observing lid and the locking lid are coupled to each other by a bolt tightened into both the first and second bolt holes.    
   
   
       8 . The container according to  claim 3 , wherein the coupling part of the observing lid and the rim-shaped receiving part of the locking lid are coupled to each other through an ultrasonic sealing process.  
   
   
       9 . The container according to  claim 3 , wherein the coupling part of the observing lid and the rim-shaped receiving part of the locking lid are coupled to each other through a double injection process.
