Tube-type container

Abstract

A tube-type container is disclosed that can be squeezed to dispense its remaining contents for 1˜2 additional times of use and refilled with contents. The container includes: a tube that is configured by a cylindrical body whose inside is hollow, whose one end is closed by a crimp seal, and whose other end has an opening, the tube having a receiving space therein; a closure for closing the opening of the cylindrical body of the tube, the closure having a spout at its outer surface, wherein the spout forms a dispensing hole at its center and forms a thread on its outer surface; and a lid that is coupled to the thread and closes the dispensing hole. The container further includes a cutting means or a coupling member. The cutting means is formed close to the opening of the cylindrical body and separates the cylindrical body into two parts. The coupling member is located between the tube and the closure and uncouples and couples the tube and closure from and to each other.

1 . A tube-type container comprising:
 a tube that is configured by a cylindrical body whose inside is hollow, whose one end is closed by a crimp seal, and whose other end has an opening, the tube having a receiving space therein;   a closure for closing the opening of the cylindrical body of the tube, the closure having a spout at its outer surface, wherein the spout forms a dispensing hole at its center and forms a thread on its outer surface;   a lid that is coupled to the thread and closes the dispensing hole; and   a cutting means that is formed close to the opening of the cylindrical body and separates the cylindrical body into two parts.   
   
   
       2 . The container according to  claim 1 , wherein the cutting means comprises:
 a band formed along a periphery of the tube; and   a head part formed at one end of the band, wherein one side of the head part is attached to the outer side of the other end of the band.   
   
   
       3 . A tube-type container comprising:
 a tube that is configured by a cylindrical body whose inside is hollow, whose one end is closed by a crimp seal, and whose other end has an opening, the tube having a receiving space therein;   a closure for closing the opening of the cylindrical body of the tube, the closure having a spout at its outer surface, wherein the spout forms a dispensing hole at its center and forms a thread on its outer surface;   a lid that is coupled to the thread and closes the dispensing hole; and   a coupling member that is located between the tube and the closure, and uncouples and couples the tube and closure from and to each other.   
   
   
       4 . The container according to  claim 3 , wherein the coupling member comprises:
 a first band shaped as a ring form, the first band coupling its one end to the opening of the tube and forming an outer thread on an outer surface at its other end; and   a second band shaped as a ring form, the second band coupling its other end to the closure and forming an inner thread on an inner surface at its one end, wherein the inner thread is coupled to the outer thread.   
   
   
       5 . The container according to  claim 4 , wherein the outer thread is formed in the opposite direction to the thread of the spout. 
   
   
       6 . The container according to  claim 4 , wherein:
 the first band is formed in such a way that the outer surface is cut out at the other end and forms a first step whose bottom surface forms an outer thread; and   the second band is formed in such a way that the inner surface is cut out at one end and forms a second step whose bottom surface forms the inner thread corresponding to the outer thread.   
   
   
       7 . The container according to  claim 6 , wherein the first band further forms a third step having a bottom surface on the outer surface at one end, in which the outer diameter of the bottom surface is equal to an inner diameter of the opening of the tube so that the bottom surface is placed in the opening of the tube. 
   
   
       8 . The container according to  claim 6 , wherein the first step and the second step forms a groove for receiving an O-ring. 
   
   
       9 . The container according to  claim 3 , wherein the coupling member comprises:
 a first band, shape as a ring form, which couples its lower portion to the opening of the tube and forms a hook protrusion on an upper end; and   a second band, shaped as a ring form, which couples its upper end to the closure and forms a hook groove on a lower end, into which the hook protrusion is fitted.   
   
   
       10 . The container according to  claim 9 , wherein:
 the first band forms a first step on the outer surface at an upper part to form a first bottom surface, in which the first step forms the hook protrusion;   the second band forms a second step on the inner surface at a lower part to form a second bottom surface; and   the second step forms the hook groove at the lower end, corresponding to the hook protrusion of the first step.   
   
   
       11 . The container according to  claim 10 , wherein the second step further forms a groove for receiving an O-ring. 
   
   
       12 . The container according to  claim 9 , wherein:
 the tube covers the first band and the second band; and   a cutting means is further formed at the periphery of a part coupled between the first band and the second band.   
   
   
       13 . The container according to  claim 12 , wherein the cutting means comprises:
 a band formed along the periphery of the tube; and   a head part formed at one end of the band, wherein one side of the head part is attached to the outer side of the other end of the band.   
   
   
       14 . The container according to  claim 10 , wherein:
 the tube covers the first band and the second band; and   a cutting means is further formed at the periphery of a part coupled between the first band and the second band.
