BEST MODE

[0049] Although the present invention can be variously modified in many different forms, specific embodiments of the present invention will be illustrated in the drawings and be described with reference to the drawings. However, it is to be understood that the following description is not intended to limit the present invention to those exemplary embodiments and that the present invention is intended to cover various modifications, equivalents, and alternatives, which may be included within the spirit and scope of the present invention. In the following description of the present invention, if it is decided that a detailed description of known functions or configurations related to the invention would make the subject matter of the invention unclear, such detailed description is omitted.

[0050] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0051] FIGS. 1, 2 and 7 illustrate an assembly view and cross-sectional views of the mixing container 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention, which is manufactured through injection molding. FIGS. 3 to 6 illustrate cross-sectional views of a material-containing part, a bottle end, a bottle end clamp, and a second sealing membrane of the mixing container 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention, which is manufactured through injection molding.

[0052] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 7, the mixing container 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention, which is manufactured through injection molding, includes a material-containing part 2, which includes an outlet 2-1 and a clamp coupler 2-2, a bottle end 3, which includes a bottle end upper portion 3-1, a first sealing membrane 3-1-1, a bottle end-lateral portion 3-2, a sealing unit 3-2-1, an open lower portion 3-3, an outlet coupler 3-4, an outlet coupling portion 3-4-1, and a space 3-5, and a bottle end clamp 4, which includes a material-containing part coupler 4-1, a bottle end holder 4-2, a second sealing membrane 4-3, and a sealing membrane remover 4-4.

[0053] The mixing container 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention, which is manufactured through injection molding, is constructed by assembling the material-containing part 2 with the bottle end clamp 4. As illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 7, the mixing container is constructed in such a way that the outer surface of the clamp coupler 2-2 is fitted into the inner surface of the material-containing part coupler 4-1 so as to be brought into close contact with each other.

[0054] Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, the material-containing part 2 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes the outlet 2-1, the clamp coupler 2-2, and a cap.

[0055] The material-containing part 2 is provided at the upper portion thereof with the outlet 2-1 capable of being coupled to the cap, and is provided at the lower portion thereof with the clamp coupler 2-2.

[0056] The clamp coupler 2-2 is positioned at the lower portion of the material-containing part 20, and is provided on the outer surface thereof with a shaped portion capable of being coupled to the material-containing part coupler 4-1.

[0057] Referring to FIGS. 1 and 4, the bottle end 3 of the mixing container 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention, which is manufactured through injection molding, includes the bottle end upper portion 3-1, the first sealing membrane 3-1-1, the bottle end lateral portion 3-2, the sealing unit 3-2-1, the open lower portion 3-3, the outlet coupler 3-4, an outlet coupling unit 3-4-1, and the space 3-5.

[0058] The first sealing membrane 3-1-1 is positioned at the bottle end upper portion 3-1. When the outlet of another mixing container is coupled to the outlet coupler 3-4, the first sealing membrane 3-1-1 is ruptured such that the material contained in the other container is mixed with the material contained in the material-containing part 2.

[0059] The sealing unit 3-2-1 may be positioned at the bottle end lateral portion 3-2 in order to prevent the material contained in the material-containing part 2 from leaking.

[0060] The outlet coupler 3-4 extends toward the open lower portion 3-3 from the lower surface of the bottle end upper portion 3-1, and the outlet coupler 3-4 is provided on the inner peripheral surface thereof with the outlet coupling unit 3-4-1.

[0061] The space 3-5 is positioned between the bottle end lateral portion 3-2 and the outlet coupler 3-4. When a certain space is defined between the bottle end lateral portion 3-2 and the outlet coupler 3-4, it is possible to reduce the injection weight of the outlet end as well as to maintain the thickness of injection molding constant, thereby preventing a twisting phenomenon which would otherwise occur due to difference in thickness in an injection molding operation.

[0062] Referring to FIGS. 1, 5 and 6, the bottle end clamp 4 of the mixing container 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention, which is manufactured through injection molding, the material-containing part coupler 4-1, the bottle end holder 4-2, the second sealing membrane 4-3, and the sealing membrane remover 4-4.

[0063] The material-containing part coupler 4-1 is positioned at the inner side of the upper portion of the bottle end clamp 4, and is coupled to the clamp coupler 2-2 positioned at the lower portion of the material-containing part 2.

[0064] The bottle end holder 4-2 is positioned at the inner side of the lower portion of the bottle end clamp 4, and holds the lower end of the bottle end 3 to prevent the bottle end 3 from being separated from the material-containing part 2.

[0065] The bottle end holder 4-2 is positioned inside the bottle end clamp 4, and serves to hold the second sealing membrane 4-3 and to receive an external material therein.

[0066] Referring to FIG. 6, the second sealing membrane 4-3 may be formed at the lower end of the bottle end clamp 4.

[0067] Here, the second sealing membrane 4-3 may be integrally molded with the bottle end clamp 4.

[0068] The sealing membrane remover 4-4 is positioned at the lower side of the second sealing membrane 4-3, and is used to remove the second sealing membrane 4-3 by pulling the same. Although not illustrated in the drawings, a perforated line may be formed at the boundary of the second sealing membrane 4-3 for removal of the second sealing membrane 4-3.

[0069] The perforated line is positioned at the boundary of the second sealing membrane 4-3 so as to help to remove the second sealing membrane 4-3 using external force.
