Multi-Compartment Container

Abstract

A multi-compartment container including a vessel body, an elastic ring, a lid, and a sealer is disclosed. The vessel body has an opening. The elastic ring is coupled with an inner peripheral surface of the vessel body and has a through hole extending axially. The lid detachably couples with the vessel body to cover the opening, with the lid having a holding member. The sealer has a connecting end and a plug end, with the connecting end coupling with the holding member of the lid, and with the plug end being capable of abutting against the elastic ring to seal the through hole or disengaging from the elastic ring.

1 . A multi-compartment container, comprising:
 a vessel body having an opening;   an elastic ring coupled with an inner peripheral surface of the vessel body and having a through hole extending axially;   a lid detachably coupling with the vessel body to cover the opening, with the lid having a holding member; and   a sealer having a connecting end and a plug end, with the connecting end coupling with the holding member of the lid, and with the plug end being capable of abutting against the elastic ring to seal the through hole or disengaging from the elastic ring.   
     
     
         2 . The multi-compartment container as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein a largest radial width of the plug end is smaller than an outer diameter of the elastic ring. 
     
     
         3 . The multi-compartment container as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein a largest radial width of the plug end equals an outer diameter of the elastic ring. 
     
     
         4 . The multi-compartment container as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein a support portion is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the vessel body and supports the elastic ring. 
     
     
         5 . The multi-compartment container as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein an upper section of the vessel body between the opening and the support portion has an identical cross section. 
     
     
         6 . The multi-compartment container as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein a cross section of an upper section of the vessel body between the opening and the support portion is gradually decreased from the opening to the support portion. 
     
     
         7 . The multi-compartment container as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein an inclined face forms a top of the elastic ring, with the inclined face being in a funnel shape centered on a center line of the through hole. 
     
     
         8 . The multi-compartment container as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein the sealer comprises a shaft and a blocker, the blocker is connected with one end of the shaft to serve as the plug end, and the other end of the shaft serves as the connecting end. 
     
     
         9 . The multi-compartment container as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein a peripheral wall of the blocker tapers toward a bottom of the blocker. 
     
     
         10 . The multi-compartment container as claimed in  claim 9 , wherein a top of the blocker tapers toward the connecting end. 
     
     
         11 . The multi-compartment container as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the holding member has a plurality of spaced protrusions arranged in a circular route, with each protrusion having a hook at a free end thereof, and with each hook bent toward a center of the circular route. 
     
     
         12 . The multi-compartment container as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the holding member of the lid has a thread and the connecting end of the sealer also has a thread corresponding to the thread of the holding member. 
     
     
         13 . The multi-compartment container as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein a bottom surface of the elastic ring has an inclined face in a funnel shape centered on the center line of the through hole. 
     
     
         14 . The multi-compartment container as claimed in  claim 13 , wherein a support portion is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the vessel body and supports the elastic ring, and an outer edge of the inclined face of the bottom surface of the elastic ring smoothly connects with an inner edge of the support portion of the vessel body. 
     
     
         15 . The multi-compartment container as claimed in  claim 14 , wherein a distance between an inner edge of the inclined face and the center line of the through hole is smaller than another distance between an inner edge of the inclined face and the center line to form a stop face on an inner peripheral surface of the elastic ring. 
     
     
         16 . The multi-compartment container as claimed in  claim 15 , wherein a plurality of annular ribs is formed on an inner peripheral surface of the elastic ring.
