Powder Container That Will Prevent A User's Hand From Touching The Powder Directly
Abstract
A powder container includes a container body, a fixed disk mounted on the container body, an adjusting disk rotatably mounted on the fixed disk, and a cover mounted on the container body to cover the adjusting disk and the fixed disk. The container body has an inner portion provided with a receiving chamber. The fixed disk has a bottom wall provided with a plurality of connecting holes each connected to the receiving chamber. The adjusting disk has a bottom wall provided with a plurality of connecting apertures that are movable to align with the connecting holes of the fixed disk. Thus, the powder in the container body is allowed to pour outward from the adjusting disk by rotation of the adjusting disk relative to the fixed disk so that the user's hand will not touch the powder directly.
Claims

6 . The powder container of claim 1 , wherein
the container body has an open top provided with an annular mouth; the mouth of the container body has an outer wall provided with a plurality of wedge-shaped locking pieces; the fixed disk is mounted on the mouth of the container body and has a peripheral wall provided with a plurality of locking slots locked onto the locking pieces of the container body to lock the fixed disk onto the container body.
7 . The powder container of claim 1 , wherein the fixed disk has an outer wall provided with a plurality of pressing blocks each pressing an inner wall of the cover to limit the cover onto the fixed disk.
8 . The powder container of claim 5 , wherein the limit flange of the adjusting disk has a periphery provided with a serrated holding portion.
9 . The powder container of claim 3 , wherein
each of the connecting holes of the fixed disk has a circular shape; each of the connecting apertures of the adjusting disk has a circular shape; each of the positioning bosses of the adjusting disk has a circular shape.
10 . The powder container of claim 3 , wherein
each of the connecting holes of the fixed disk has an elongate shape; each of the connecting apertures of the adjusting disk has an elongate shape; and each of the positioning bosses of the adjusting disk has an elongate shape.
11 . The powder container of claim 3 , wherein
the connecting holes of the fixed disk are centered at the shaft hole and are arranged in a radiating manner; the connecting apertures of the adjusting disk are centered at the rotation shaft and are arranged in a radiating manner; the positioning bosses of the adjusting disk are centered at the rotation shaft and are arranged in a radiating manner.
12 . The powder container of claim 11 , wherein the connecting apertures and the positioning bosses of the adjusting disk are arranged in a staggered manner.
13 . The powder container of claim 1 , wherein
the bottom wall of the fixed disk is inserted into the receiving chamber of the container body; the adjusting disk is inserted into the mounting chamber of the fixed disk.
14 . The powder container of claim 1 , wherein
the connecting holes of the fixed disk are connected between the receiving chamber of the container body 1 and the mounting chamber of the fixed disk; the connecting apertures of the adjusting disk are connected between the connecting holes of the fixed disk and the receiving space of the adjusting disk.
15 . The powder container of claim 3 , wherein
when the connecting apertures of the adjusting disk align with the connecting holes of the fixed disk respectively, the receiving chamber of the container body is connected to the receiving space of the adjusting disk via the connecting holes of the fixed disk and the connecting apertures of the adjusting disk; when the positioning bosses of the adjusting disk align with and are snapped into the connecting holes of the fixed disk respectively, the connecting holes of the fixed disk are blocked by the bottom wall of the adjusting disk to interrupt a connection between the connecting holes of the fixed disk and the connecting apertures of the adjusting disk and a connection between the receiving chamber of the container body and the receiving space of the adjusting disk.
16 . The powder container of claim 5 , wherein
each of the limit slots of the adjusting disk has a first side that is movable to abut a first side of the respective limit block of the fixed disk so that the connecting apertures of the adjusting disk align with the connecting holes of the fixed disk respectively; each of the limit slots of the adjusting disk has a second side that is movable to abut a second side of the respective limit block of the fixed disk so that the connecting apertures of the adjusting disk are separated from the connecting holes of the fixed disk respectively, and the positioning bosses of the adjusting disk align with and are snapped into the connecting holes of the fixed disk respectively.
17 . The powder container of claim 1 , wherein the powder container further comprises an accessory mounted in the cover and removably inserted into the receiving space of the adjusting disk.
18 . The powder container of claim 6 , wherein
the mouth of the container body has a diameter smaller than that of the container body; the container body has a peripheral wall provided with a stop shoulder located under the mouth to stop the cover.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
