Vacuum storage container

Abstract

A vacuum storage container includes a container body and a lid, wherein the container body has a top opening, and the lid includes a lid body and a valve plug. The lid body is removably engaged with the container body to cover the top opening to seal a peripheral edge of the top opening. The lid body has a perforation. The valve plug includes a plug body and a poked member. The plug body is disposed in the perforation and is adapted to close or to open the perforation. The poked member is disposed on a top of the plug body. In this way, a user could simply push the poked member to shift the plug body to open the perforation, which is convenient.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A vacuum storage container, comprising:
 a container body having a top opening; and   a lid comprising a lid body and a valve plug, wherein the lid body is detachably engaged with the container body to cover the top opening; the lid body has a perforation;   the valve plug comprises a plug body and a poked member; the plug body is disposed in the perforation for closing or opening the perforation; the poked member is disposed on a top of the plug body.   
     
     
         2 . The vacuum storage container of  claim 1 , wherein the top of the plug body has an engaging groove; the poked member comprises an engaging segment and an extending segment, and the engaging segment is detachably engaged with the engaging groove; the extending segment is located above the engaging segment. 
     
     
         3 . The vacuum storage container of  claim 2 , wherein the engaging groove comprises a first groove section and a second groove section which communicates with the first groove section; the first groove section is located above the second groove section; a width of the first groove section is smaller than a width of the second groove section; the engaging segment of the poked member comprises a head portion and a neck portion; the head portion is located in the second groove section, and the neck portion is located in the first groove section. 
     
     
         4 . The vacuum storage container of  claim 2 , wherein the poked member comprises a protruding flange connected between the engaging segment and the extending segment; a bottom surface of the protruding flange faces a top surface of the plug body. 
     
     
         5 . The vacuum storage container of  claim 4 , wherein the bottom surface of the protruding flange abuts against the top surface of the plug body. 
     
     
         6 . The vacuum storage container of  claim 4 , wherein the plug body comprises a first protruding portion, a second protruding portion, and a connecting portion; the connecting portion is connected between the first protruding portion and the second protruding portion; the first protruding portion is located outside a top edge of the perforation; the top surface of the plug body is located on the first protruding portion; the connecting portion passes through the perforation; the second protruding portion is located outside a bottom edge of the perforation; an outer diameter of the first protruding portion is greater than an outer diameter of the protruding flange. 
     
     
         7 . The vacuum storage container of  claim 4 , wherein the extending segment is board-shaped and extends upward from the protruding flange in a first axial direction; the extending segment has two side surfaces facing opposite directions in a second axial direction which is perpendicular to the first axial direction; the protruding flange has two top surfaces respectively connected to the two side surfaces; an angle between each of the two top surfaces  362  and one of the two side surfaces  342  is between 90 to 105 degrees. 
     
     
         8 . The vacuum storage container of  claim 7 , wherein a distance between the two side surfaces is increased gradually from top down in the first axial direction. 
     
     
         9 . The vacuum storage container of  claim 1 , wherein the lid body has a cavity which is formed by recessing into a top surface of the lid body; the perforation is located inside the cavity; the poked member is located in the cavity, and a top edge of the poked member is lower than a top edge of the cavity. 
     
     
         10 . The vacuum storage container of  claim 1 , wherein the lid body has an internal surface facing an interior space of the container body; the internal surface has a protruding ring extending in a direction away from the internal surface and encircling the perforation; an outer surface of the protruding ring has a plurality of protruding ribs; the lid comprises an inner cap which fits around the protruding ring, and an inner surface of the inner cap abuts against the plurality of protruding ribs, so that a gap is formed between the inner surface of the inner cap and the outer surface of the protruding ring.
