Description

Food container structure that also serves as a football toy

This invention relates to a food container, specifically a container structure that combines the appearance of a soccer ball with food storage functionality. This container can be used to hold foods such as candies and cookies, and also features toy functions such as rolling and kicking, combining both entertainment and practicality. This represents a design improvement for the integrated application of food containers and toys.

Common food containers often come in the form of plastic boxes, metal cans, or glass bottles. While they can be used to store or seal food, most have monotonous designs, lacking in entertainment and appeal, and are not conducive to encouraging children's interest in using them.

On the other hand, while traditional football toys can be kicked and rolled, they are mostly hollow spheres and are not suitable for use as food containers. They also lack basic functions such as food storage and sealing.

Therefore, the market still lacks a structural design that combines the functions of a food container and a soccer toy, providing a multifunctional product that combines storage and entertainment.

The primary purpose of this new invention is to provide a food container structure that also functions as a soccer toy. This addresses the issues of traditional food containers being monotonous and lacking in interest, as well as the inability of traditional soccer toys to serve as practical containers. This innovative structure combines the functions of food storage with the effects of an entertainment toy.

This novel food container structure, which also functions as a soccer ball toy, is a spherical container comprising a container body and a lid. The container body is spherically curved with a predetermined arc, comprising a container space and a first threaded portion located at the edge of its opening. The lid is spherically curved corresponding to the arc of the container body, and has a corresponding second threaded portion axially disposed on its bottom side. The lid is screwed onto the container body, so that the lid and container body are joined to form a complete soccer ball-like appearance.

To enhance opening and closing convenience, the lid is equipped with multiple anti-slip features, allowing the user to apply external force to open or tighten the lid. The container body and the outer surface of the lid are decorated with corresponding three-dimensional soccer-like stitching patterns, making the appearance highly recognizable and realistic.

Furthermore, the container body and lid are made of impact-resistant plastic injection molding. Not only can they hold candies, cookies, and other foods, but they also meet basic toy operating requirements such as kicking and rolling, combining practicality and entertainment.

Based on the above description, the features and functions of this new product are briefly described as follows:

1. Combining the functions of a food container and a soccer ball toy enhances product diversity and market appeal.

2. The spherical shape with imitation football patterns is highly recognizable and interesting, making it suitable as a children's toy or promotional gift.

3. The container body and lid are equipped with anti-slip structures to assist in opening and tightening, improving operational convenience and sealing.

4. Made using plastic injection molding, the overall structure is sturdy and impact-resistant, making it suitable for daily play.

5. It can hold candies, cookies, and other foods and is reusable, taking into account both environmental protection and practical benefits.

Figure 8 is a schematic diagram of the use of this new model.

As shown in Figures 1 to 8, the novel food container structure that also serves as a soccer ball toy comprises a container body 10 and a lid 20. The two, when assembled, form the overall spherical appearance shown in Figure 1.

As shown in Figures 2, 3, 4, and 5, the container body 10 is spherically curved with a predetermined arc, and features a concave container space 11. A first threaded portion 12 is provided at the edge of the opening, and a set of three-dimensional stitching patterns 13 resembling a soccer ball are arranged on its outer circumference. The lid 20 is spherically curved, corresponding to the curve of the container body 10. A second threaded portion 21 is provided on its inner side, correspondingly threaded into the first threaded portion 12. A set of three-dimensional stitching patterns 22 resembling a soccer ball are arranged on its outer circumference, allowing the container body 10 and lid 20 to be detachably connected.

As shown in Figure 5, the lid 20 and the container body 10 are provided with a plurality of anti-slip portions 14 and 23 around their periphery. These portions act as force-applying structures. Users can rotate these anti-slip portions 14 and 23 to open or tighten the lid 20.

Figure 6 shows the structure of the container body 10, allowing a clear view of its storage space and thread configuration.

Figure 7 shows a cross-sectional view of the container body 10 and the upper lid 20, which are screwed together to form a tight fit, as well as the overall spherical shape. This allows items to be stored within the container body 10, preventing them from deteriorating or becoming contaminated.

Figure 8 is a schematic diagram of actual use. The container can be used to hold candies, cookies, and other foods 30, and has sealing and protective functions.

This new model is entirely made of plastic injection molding, providing a certain level of strength and impact resistance. It can be used not only for food storage but also as a general simulated football toy, offering interactive activities such as rolling, tossing, and light kicking, making it both practical and entertaining.

The usage and advantages of this new model are as follows:

1. Combining the functionality of a food container with a soccer ball toy enhances the product's added value and appeal.

2. The container structure has a simulated spherical appearance and is composed of a container body 10 and a lid 20. It is suitable for children and is suitable for use as a toy or promotional gift.

3. A set of three-dimensional soccer-like stitching patterns 13 and 22 are designed on the outer periphery of the upper lid 20 and the container body 10. Anti-slip features 14 and 23 are also added to the sides to enhance opening convenience and tightening stability, improving the difficulty of applying force on traditional round lids.

4. Modular structure: the container body 10 and the upper cover 20 are detachable, facilitating cleaning and replacement.

5. The container body 10 and lid 20 are made of plastic injection molding, making the entire structure sturdy and impact-resistant, suitable for outdoor and multiple use scenarios.

6. It can be reused to hold a variety of small foods, which can be accommodated in the container space 11 of the container body 10, taking into account both environmental protection and functionality.

In summary, this novel structure has not been previously reported in any publications or publicly used, and thus meets the requirements for a new patent application. We sincerely request the Bureau to review this invention and grant the patent as soon as possible. We would be grateful.

It should be noted that the above description is a specific embodiment of the present invention and the technical principles employed. Any modifications based on the concept of the present invention that still produce functions within the spirit of the description and drawings should be stated within the scope of the present invention.
