Abstract

Disclosed is a closure of a vessel, comprising: a body mounted to a vessel inlet through which contents inside a vessel are discharged out, and having a space therein; a sealing member mounted in the body, and sealed at the vessel inlet; and a sealing member separating unit formed on an inner circumferential surface of the body, for separating the sealing member from the vessel inlet when the body is opened, and storing the separated sealing member in the body. Under this configuration, once the closure of a vessel is opened, the sealing member is detached from the vessel inlet thus to be stored in the closure of a vessel. Accordingly, the sealing member need not be additionally removed, thereby enhancing a user's convenience.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A closure of a vessel, comprising:
 a body mounted to a vessel inlet through which contents inside a vessel are discharged out, and having a space therein;   a sealing member mounted in the body, and sealing the vessel inlet; and   a sealing member separating unit formed on an inner circumferential surface of the body, for separating the sealing member from the vessel inlet when the body is opened, and storing the separated sealing member in the body.   
     
     
         2 . The closure of a vessel of  claim 1 , wherein a concaved groove at an outer circumferential surface is formed at an upper end of the vessel inlet. 
     
     
         3 . The closure of a vessel of  claim 2 , wherein the sealing member is adhered to an upper surface of the vessel inlet, and has an edge extending to outside from the upper end of the vessel inlet. 
     
     
         4 . The closure of a vessel of  claim 3 , wherein the sealing member comprises:
 an elastic supporting layer formed of paper or synthetic resin, etc. with its own elastic force, and adhered to the vessel inlet by being elastically transformed when closing the closure of a vessel;   a metallic layer attached to a lower surface of the elastic supporting layer, and formed of aluminum; and   an adhesive layer deposited onto a lower surface of the metallic layer, and adhering the sealing member to the vessel inlet.   
     
     
         5 . The closure of a vessel of  claim 4 , wherein the sealing member is mounted to the vessel inlet with an inserted state into the body, and adhesive layer of the sealing member is adhered to the vessel inlet by being heated. 
     
     
         6 . The closure of a vessel of  claim 2 , wherein the sealing member separating unit is inwardly protruding from an inner circumferential surface of the body, inserted into a groove of the vessel inlet, and disposed on a lower surface of an edge of the sealing member, for lifting and separating the sealing member from the vessel inlet by being upwardly moved when the body is separated from the vessel inlet. 
     
     
         7 . The closure of a vessel of  claim 2 , wherein the sealing member separating unit comprises:
 a supporting protrusion formed in the body in a circumferential direction, disposed on a lower surface of the sealing member, inserted into a groove of the vessel inlet, and supported by an edge of the sealing member; and   a rotation protrusion disposed above the supporting protrusion with an interval therebetween, and locked by locking protrusions formed at the edge of the sealing member in a circumferential direction with the same interval, for rotating the sealing member so as to separate the sealing member from the vessel inlet when the body is rotated.   
     
     
         8 . The closure of a vessel of  claim 7 , wherein the sealing member is provided with locking protrusions arranged at an edge thereof in a circumferential direction with the same interval therebetween, and the locking protrusions are implemented in a concave-convex shape, or in a shape inclined in one direction. 
     
     
         9 . A closure of a vessel, comprising:
 a body mounted to a vessel inlet through which contents inside a vessel are discharged out, and having a space therein;   a sealing member mounted in the body, and sealed at the vessel inlet;   a sealing member separating unit formed on an inner circumferential surface of the body, for separating the sealing member from the vessel inlet when the body is opened, and storing the separated sealing member in the body; and   a sealing member locking unit formed at the body, and locked at an inner surface of the sealing member by penetrating the sealing member when being pressed.   
     
     
         10 . The closure of a vessel of  claim 9 , wherein a concaved groove is formed at an upper end of the vessel inlet, and
 wherein the sealing member is adhered to an upper surface of the vessel inlet, and has an edge extending to outside from the upper end of the vessel inlet.   
     
     
         11 . The closure of a vessel of  claim 10 , wherein the sealing member comprises:
 an elastic supporting layer formed of paper or synthetic resin, etc. with its own elastic force, and adhered to the vessel inlet by being elastically transformed when closing the closure of a vessel;   a metallic layer attached to a lower surface of the elastic supporting layer, and formed of aluminum; and   an adhesive layer deposited onto a lower surface of the metallic layer, and adhering the sealing member to the vessel inlet, and   wherein the elastic supporting layer is provided with a through hole for passing the sealing member locking unit.   
     
     
         12 . The closure of a vessel of  claim 10 , wherein the sealing member separating unit is inwardly protruding from an inner circumferential surface of the body, inserted into a groove of the vessel inlet, and disposed on a lower surface of an edge of the sealing member, for lifting and separating the sealing member from the vessel inlet by being upwardly moved when the body is separated from the vessel inlet 
     
     
         13 . The closure of a vessel of  claim 9 , wherein the sealing member locking unit comprises:
 a pressing plate disposed in the body so as to be movable in upper and lower directions, and downwardly moving when pressed by a user;   a locking portion disposed on a lower surface of the pressing plate, and locked at a lower surface of the sealing member by penetrating the sealing member when the pressing plate is pressed; and   a connection portion connected between an outer circumferential surface of the pressing plate and an inner circumferential surface of the body, for guiding the pressing plate to be moved in upper and lower directions, and supporting the pressing plate that has moved to another position by its own elastic force.   
     
     
         14 . The closure of a vessel of  claim 13 , wherein the locking portion comprises:
 a supporting rod downwardly extending from a central part of a lower surface of the pressing plate, and penetrating the sealing member when the pressing plate is pressed; and   one or more locking protrusions formed on an outer circumferential surface of an end of the supporting rod, and locking the sealing member so as to store the sealing member in the body.   
     
     
         15 .
