Description

Capsule containing filling

The present invention relates to a capsule comprising a filler, wherein the capsule is such that the filler leaks in a particular direction of the capsule when pressure is applied to the capsule.

As is generally known, effervescent tablets are those that dissolve in water and drink dissolved drugs. Representatives are vitamin D or iron supplements, antacids, analgesics, cold medicines, etc. It is to be dissolved and taken as a homemade.

Such foamed tablets have been developed and widely used long ago in the state where various functions are added, and their use is also extensive.

On the other hand, in recent years, it is manufactured with various functions added to foamed tablets, so that the biological control functions such as biological defense of food ingredients, regulation of biological rhythm, prevention and recovery of diseases, etc. can be sufficiently exerted, or the growth of children. Effervescent tablets that are medically designed and developed to promote development or to ingest various essential nutrients necessary for each gender or age group are commercially available.

However, in the case of such effervescent tablets, after the user puts the effervescent tablet into water, the user must wait for a time for the effervescent tablet to completely dissolve in water for a few minutes, and there is a problem that its utilization is lowered due to such inconvenience in use.

Effervescent tablets, such as conventional effervescent vitamins, are necessarily mixed with water to generate sodium during the reaction.

That is, sodium hydrogen carbonate (NaHCO ₃ ) contained in effervescent vitamins reacts with water, and sodium carbonate (Na ₂ CO ₃ ) is generated. Problems may arise. Therefore, there is a need for a simple and healthy way for the user to enjoy a nutrient such as effervescent vitamins or a favorite food that can be mixed with water or carbonated water.

The present invention relates to a capsule that can contain nutritious foods such as vitamins and high concentrates, such as favorite foods such as coffee, and the like. We would like to propose a determined capsule.

In addition, the present invention is to propose a capsule in which the filling can leak to the lower side by simply pressurizing the capsule when the user wants to take the filling contained in the capsule mixed with water or mixed with carbonated water.

In addition, the filler contained in the capsule of the present invention may be a liquid as well as a solid material such as powdered powder, and can be easily stored by forming a variety of beverages such as carbonated beverages, juice drinks, coffee, tea, etc. as high concentrate or powdered powder. And, there is an advantage that is easily mixed with water or carbonated water.

In addition, the high concentration or concentrated powder powder contained in the capsule of the present invention has no advantage in that sodium is not generated in the process of mixing with water or carbonated water, there is an advantage that can provide a health-friendly beverage.

The capsule of the present invention is integrally formed, and formed in a space other than the space occupied by the capsule body, the filler body accommodated in the capsule body and formed of a liquid or solid, and filled in the capsule body. A first protrusion and a second protrusion are formed at an upper end and a lower end of the capsule body and protrude a predetermined length while being integrally formed with the capsule body.

With the capsule comprising the filler of the present invention as described above, when the filler, which is the contents, is to be leaked, the lower part of the capsule may be opened by vertically positioning it in the longitudinal direction and then pressing the side surface.

When pressurizing the capsule to leak / discharge the filling, it is useful for the discharge to be discharged downward by the thickness and shape of the capsule, and in the case where the filling is to be diluted in water or dissolved in carbonated water It can be ejected in the desired direction.

In addition, since the liquid and solid can be stored in the capsule of the present invention, it can be utilized in a variety of industries, the distribution process of the drink is simplified, the ease of use of the consumer is greatly increased, and replace the existing beverage vending machine, etc. It can work. In addition, it is possible to supplement the disadvantages of the existing effervescent vitamins, while being hygienic, there is an excellent effect of taking and managing nutrient components without loss.

1 to 3 show a first embodiment of a capsule comprising a filler of the invention, and FIG. 4 shows a second embodiment of a capsule comprising a filler of the invention.

First, referring to Figures 1 and 2, the capsule 10 of the present invention is a structure in which the filler 1 is accommodated in the capsule body 101 formed integrally, the filler (1) in the capsule body 101 ) Are not all filled and some air layer 2 is formed.

In particular, the capsule body 101 is formed in a shape extending in the upper and lower directions, the first protrusion 102a and the second protrusion 102b protruding a predetermined length on each of the upper side and the lower side of the capsule body 101. Is formed.

In addition, the filler 1 may be a concentrated liquid of a concentrated coffee juice or vitamin powder, or may be a powder or solid of coffee or vegetables / fruits or pharmaceutical ingredients. For example, the filler 1 may be a raw coffee or coffee powder, a high concentrate or a powder of vegetables or fruits, or a liquid medicine or a powder medicine used in a pharmacy or a hospital.

Although the thickness of the protrusions formed on the upper and lower sides while being integrally formed with the capsule body 101 is shown to be the same as the thickness of the capsule body 101, the pressure is gradually compressed by the force applied from the left and right sides, and downwards. In order for the filler 1 to leak more easily, the thickness of the first protrusion 102a and the second protrusion 102b may be smaller than that of the capsule body 101.

Meanwhile, the first and second protrusions may be formed along the outer circumferential surface of the capsule body 101, or may be formed at upper and lower ends of the capsule body 101.

That is, as shown in FIG. 2, the first protrusion 102a, the second protrusion 102b, and the third protrusion 102c are formed on the outer circumferential surface of the capsule body 101, and the protrusions are integrally formed with each other. Thus, a protrusion strip having a predetermined thickness may be formed on the outer circumferential surface of the capsule body 101.

In another embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the first and

second protrusions

102a and 102b may be formed so as to be divided into upper and lower ends of the capsule body 101, respectively.

As shown in FIG. 5, the capsule 10 is fixed to a fixing part 40 having a hole sized to pass a portion of one side of the capsule 10, and disposed on both sides of the capsule 10. First and second pressurizing

portions

20 and 30 capable of pressing the side surfaces of the capsule 10 may be configured.

That is, when the first and second pressing

portions

20, 30 press the body (upper body) of the capsule 10, the capsule 10 is applied to the pressing force in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction You will be delivered.

In this case, an air layer 2 is formed above the capsule 10, and a liquid or solid filler 1 is positioned below the air layer 2. Therefore, when a force applied from the left and right sides is applied, leakage of the filling through the lower side rather than the upper side of the capsule 10 is made.

As such, in the capsule 10 of the present invention, the filling is leaked in the downward direction, even when the upper and lower sides of the capsule 10 are changed to stand, and the air layer 2 is still positioned above the inside of the capsule. Because of this, leakage in the downward direction can still be made.

In the case of FIG. 6, the case where the user uses the pressing member 60 for leaking the filling 1 contained in the capsule 10 is illustrated. In the case of using the pressing member 60 configured to be in contact with both sides of the capsule body 101, because the user presses both sides of the upper side of the capsule 10, when the upper side of the capsule 10 is opened Can be prevented.

In the case of using such a pressing member 60, the user can leak the filling 1 contained in the capsule 10 to the lower side to be easily mixed with water or carbonated water.

On the other hand, Figure 4 is shown a capsule 10 according to a second embodiment of the present invention, the durability is more durable than the capsule body 101 in the protrusions (102a, 102b) formed on the upper and lower sides of the capsule 10 Weak soft member 160 may be formed.

When the soft member 160 is configured in the protrusion, the capsule 10 of the present invention is more easily broken by the upper and lower portions by the force pushed in the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction and leakage of the filling. can do. As described above, when the capsule 10 is erected to press both sides, the air layer 2 is positioned above the capsule, and when the user presses the upper part of the capsule, the filling may leak out to the lower side of the capsule. none.

When the longitudinal direction of the capsule 10 is erected to be perpendicular to the horizontal plane, and gradually pressurizes both sides, only the lower portion of the capsule 10 may be torn and the filling may leak only downward.

7 is a view showing a third embodiment of the capsule containing the filler of the present invention, Figures 8 and 9 is an enlarged view showing one side of the capsule containing the filler of the present invention.

7 to 9, the capsule 10 of the present invention has an oval-shaped main body having a cross section, and includes a first case 110 for forming a receiving space of the filler 1 to be accommodated; The second case 120 is included.

The first case 110 and the second case 120 is formed in the same shape, or in accordance with an embodiment of any one case to reduce the contact area of the first case 110 and the second case 120 The contact surface can be formed smaller. This will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

According to the present invention, as shown in FIG. 7, both end portions (the upper and lower ends in the drawing) of the capsule 10, that is, through the adhesive surface portions of the first case 110 and the second case 120. The filling 1 is formed to leak.

In detail, in the case of Figure 7, when pressing the left and right side of the capsule 10, the lower end of the capsule 10 may be torn, in the present invention, the capsule 10 in the vertical When pressurizing the left and right sides in the positioned state, the filling of the filling is caused by the opening of the lower end.

Shapes of the first case 110 and the second case 120 will be described with reference to the first case illustrated in FIG. 9.

The case 110 is composed of a body 111 and a bent portion 112 that is in contact with the other case, and both bent portions 112 are in contact with and coupled to the ends of the second case, thereby filling the filling (1) therein. Space is formed.

The inner surface of the case 110 may include a first inner surface 113a having a linear shape, a second inner surface 113b curved at a first curvature in the first inner surface 113a, and the second inner surface. It consists of the 3rd inner surface 113c curved by the 2nd curvature at the edge part 113b. The other end of the case 110 is also formed such that the first to third inner surfaces are symmetrical.

The first radius of curvature of the second inner surface 113b and the second radius of curvature of the third inner surface 113c are formed such that the thickness of the bend 112 is smaller than the thickness of the body 111. .

Since the curved surface is formed, the thickness of the end side of the case 110 may be small.

That is, the thickness A of the body 111 of the case 110 is formed to be thicker than the thickness C of the bend 112. In the case of pressing the body of the capsule 10, the filling to leak to the lower end of the longitudinal direction of the capsule 10. The leakage of the filling is formed in the capsule together with the air layer, the capsule 10 in a vertical state, when pressing both sides, the lower portion can be broken can be achieved to the lower side of the filling.

Thus, as shown in FIG. 8, the thickness of the capsule 10 of the present invention may be the same as the body thickness A of the first case and the body thickness B of the second case, both of which are end portions. It is formed larger than the thickness C of the side.

As described above, the filler 1 accommodated in the capsule 10 of the present invention may be a liquid having a high concentration of concentrated coffee concentrate or vitamin powder. When pressurizing in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the capsule 10 (left and right directions in FIG. 7), the contents of the filling 1 leaking in the lower direction (lower end side of the capsule) is high. This is to ensure that the concentrate filling is easily transferred to water or carbonated water.

At this time, the capsule 10 is due to the thin thickness of both ends (top and bottom in Fig. 10), both ends of the capsule 10 is broken before the body, the filler 1 leaks through the broken portion do. That is, when pressure is applied to the capsule 10, the filling material 1 is leaked to one of both ends of the capsule 10.

In addition, in the present invention, in order to allow leakage in one direction among both ends of the capsule 10 having a relatively thin thickness in the capsule 10, a portion of the air layer together with the filler 1 may be formed in the capsule 10. 2) is made to form.

That is, as shown in FIG. 10, when the first end 10a of the capsule 10 is positioned at the upper side and the second end 10b is positioned at the lower direction, the capsule ( The air layer 2 is positioned above the filler 1 in 10.

In this state, when the pressure in the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the capsule 10 (left and right in the drawing), the movement of the filling material 1 downward in the gravity direction is concentrated by the air layer (2) , Breakage / torn of the second end portion 10b located below.

When the capsule 10 is erected in the longitudinal direction in the fixing portion 40 having a hole of a predetermined size, the filling 1 is located below the capsule 10, and the air layer 2 is located above the inside of the capsule 10. It is located at.

In this state, when the body is pressed by the capsule 10, the filling through the second end (10b) located in the lower of the both ends may be leaked.

11 shows a fourth embodiment of a capsule comprising a filler of the invention.

Referring to FIG. 11, in the capsule 10 of the fourth embodiment,

soft members

160 and 170 may be formed at both ends 10a and 10b to provide a path through which the filling 1 leaks.

That is, as in the case of the third embodiment, the thickness of both ends of the capsule 10 is formed to be thinner than the thickness of the body, the first and second to be more easily broken / torn by the pressurized force

Soft members

160 and 170 may be formed.

In this case, when pressed in both directions of the capsule 10, the filling leakage through the second end (10b) located in the lower direction of the filling (1) can be made easier.
