Powder Container

Abstract

A powder container includes a container body and first and second insert members. The container body has an inner space for disposal of powder therein. The first insert member has a first surrounding wall inserted fittingly into the inner space, and a first bottom wall formed with at least one through hole. The second insert member has a second bottom wall inserted into the inner space and disposed on the first bottom wall, and a second surrounding wall extending upwardly from the second bottom wall and disposed fittingly and disengageably on the first surrounding wall of the first insert member for blocking passage of the powder to an external environment through the at least one through hole.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A powder container comprising:
 a container body having an inner space that is adapted for disposal of powder therein, and an opening that is formed in a top end of said container body and that is in spatial communication with said inner space;   a first insert member having a first surrounding wall that is inserted fittingly into said inner space through said opening, and a first bottom wall that is connected to a bottom end of said first surrounding wall and that is formed with at least one through hole; and   a second insert member having a second bottom wall inserted into said inner space through said opening and disposed on said first bottom wall, and a second surrounding wall that extends upwardly from a periphery of said second bottom wall and that is surrounded fittingly and removably together with said first bottom wall by said first surrounding wall of said first insert member for blocking passage of the powder to an external environment through said at least one through hole.   
     
     
         2 . The powder container as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein:
 said first insert member further has a first top wall extending outwardly from a top end of said first surrounding wall and abutting against said top end of said container body;   said second insert member further has a second top wall extending outwardly from a top end of said second surrounding wall and abutting removably against said first top wall of said first insert member; and   said second bottom wall of said second insert member has an abutment portion extending downwardly for blocking passage of the powder to the external environment through said at least one through hole.   
     
     
         3 . The powder container as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein:
 said second insert member further has an access wall extending inwardly from said top end of said second surrounding wall; and   said first and second top walls are integrally connected to each other at an outer peripheral position away from said access wall.   
     
     
         4 . An insert unit adapted for use with a powder container, the powder container including a container body that has an inner space for disposal of powder therein, and an opening that is formed in a top end of the container body and that is in spatial communication with the inner space, said insert unit comprising:
 a first insert member having a first surrounding wall that is adapted to be inserted fittingly into the inner space through the opening, and a first bottom wall that is connected to a bottom end of said first surrounding wall and that is formed with at least one through hole; and   a second insert member having a second bottom wall that is adapted to be inserted into the inner space through the opening and that is disposed on said first bottom wall, and a second surrounding wall that extends upwardly from a periphery of said second bottom wall and that is disposed fittingly and disengageably on said first surrounding wall of said first insert member for blocking passage of the powder to an external environment through said at least one through hole.   
     
     
         5 . The powder container as claimed in claim  11 , wherein:
 said first insert member further has a first top wall extending outwardly from a top end of said first surrounding wall and adapted to abut against the top end of the container body;   said second insert member further has a second top wall extending outwardly from a top end of said second surrounding wall and abutting removably against said first top wall of said first insert member; and   said second bottom wall of said second insert member has an abutment portion extending downwardly for blocking passage of the powder to the external environment through said at least one through hole.   
     
     
         6 . The insert unit as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein:
 said second insert member further has an access wall extending inwardly from said top end of said second surrounding wall; and   said first and second top walls are integrally connected to each other at an outer peripheral position away from said access wall.
