Hereinafter, the drawings will be described with reference to the drawings to which the preferred embodiments of the present invention are attached. In the following description, the same reference code is used for the same element in different drawings, and duplicate description of the same reference code is omitted.

FIG. 1 is a drawing showing one desirable embodiment of the present invention. The receiving device 1 of the present invention is separably coupled to a container 100 such as a bottle for drinking water by a method such as a screw method, a one-touch method, or an adhesion method.

The receiving device has a receiving portion 20 having a storage space 21 and a lower opening / closing hole 22, and includes a main body 10 formed by assembly or integral molding. The receiving device is provided with a mouth portion 11 and an upper sealing hole. The mouth portion 11 is provided with an operating portion 30 that makes the lower opening / closing hole 22 of the receiving portion 20 airtight.

The operating portion 30 can be moved upward in an open position by a rotation method or an elevating method, and FIG. 1 shows an operating unit that is opened by a rotation method. The inner surface of the operating portion 30 is provided with an engaging sill 13, and the mouth portion 11 is provided with an engaging sill 31 to restrict the upward movement of the operating portion 30.

The operating portion 30 has an extension portion 34, and the upper sealing portion 32 and the lower sealing portion 35 of the extension portion 34 are in close contact with the corresponding inner surfaces of the upper opening / closing hole 12 and the lower opening / closing hole 22, and the operating portion 30 is formed. When assembled into the main body 10, the substance contained in the receiving part 20 is made airtight with the container.

A perforation 33 is formed below the upper sealing 32, and after the contents are placed in the storage space 21 through the perforation 33, the perforation 33 may be airtight with another stopper 40 or aluminum sheet.

Further, when the operating portion 30 moves upward, a discharge hole 36 can be formed on the upper side of the upper sealing portion 32 in order to communicate the storage space 21 with the outside. When the user moves the operating portion 30 upward onto the main body, the upper sealing portion 32 and the lower sealing portion 35 are separated from the upper opening / closing hole 12 and the lower opening / closing hole 22, respectively, and the substance in the storage space 21 is released. It is dropped inside the container and mixed with other substances. At this time, when the user tilts the container 100 to one side and pressurizes it, the mixture is discharged through the lower opening / closing hole 22 and the discharge hole 36.

In the second embodiment of FIG. 2, the upper sealing portion 32 is different from the upper sealing portion of FIG. 1, and has a shape in which the upper sealing portion is totally closed without another stopper 40. When the upper sealing portion moves upward and separates from the upper opening / closing hole 12, the outside and the storage space 21 are communicated with each other through the discharge hole 36.

In the receiving device of this embodiment, the contents are put into the receiving portion 20 through the lower opening / closing hole 22, and the lower opening / closing hole is closed by the lower sealing portion. In the embodiment of FIG. 3, the extension portion 34 that closes the lower opening / closing hole 22 is formed in a cylindrical shape. In the embodiment of FIG. 4, a thin plate-shaped sealing member is provided below the lower sealing portion 35 that closes the lower opening / closing hole 22. When the operating portion 30 of the extension portion 34 is turned upward, the sealing member is destroyed and the contents contained in the storage space 21 are dropped into the container. In the embodiment of FIG. 5, it has an assembly-type lower sealing portion that closes the lower opening / closing hole 22, and a cover 50 is assembled to the operating portion 30 for hygiene. In the embodiment of FIG. 6, the receiving portion is formed integrally with the main body 10. In the embodiment of FIG. 7, the stopper 40 is formed in a cylindrical shape. In the embodiment of FIG. 8, the receiving portion is formed integrally with the main body 10, and a cover can be assembled to the operating portion 30 for hygiene. In the embodiment of FIG. 9, the lower opening / closing hole 22 is made airtight by the lower sealing portion 35 formed as a separate cylindrical member, and is connected to the extension portion 34. In this embodiment, when the operating portion 30 is lifted upward, the lower sealing portion 35 is also raised and the discharge hole is opened at the same time. In the embodiment of FIG. 10, a long extending sealing protrusion 14 is connected to the main body 10 by a connecting portion 15. In order for the operating portion 30 to be assembled around the sealing projection 14, it should be formed on the side wall of the extension portion 34 on the vertical axis in the space 37. Further, a protrusion 38 is formed on the side wall of the extension portion 34 so that the actuating portion 30 is not turned upward beyond a certain level. In the embodiment of FIG. 11, various modifications of the lower sealing portion 35 and the assembling form of the extension portion 34 are shown. In the embodiment of FIG. 12, examples of various modifications of the lower sealing portion 35 are shown. In the embodiment of FIG. 13, when the skirt 39 formed on the actuating portion 30 is removed and then the actuating portion 30 is pressed, the lower sealing portion 35 is configured to open. FIG. 14 In the embodiment, the lower sealing portion 35 is assembled directly to the operating portion 30 and is configured to move up and down together with the operating portion 30. The lower sealed part is below It is extended to the portion to block the lower opening / closing hole 22, and the lower opening / closing hole opens along with the upward movement of the operating portion 30 and the lower sealing portion. The operating portion 30 can be lifted or rotated.

Further, the hanging sill 31 can be formed on the outside of the operating portion 30 or the hanging sill A can be formed on the lower sealing portion 35 so that the lower sealing portion 35 does not rise above a certain level.

Then, the lower sealing portion 35 has a form that can be opened and closed up and down without being separated after being assembled in a manner of being inserted into the operating portion 30.

Further, even if the operating portion 30 is opened to the rotating method, the lower sealing portion 35 moves up and down vertically to the operating portion, so that the lower sealing portion 35 is coupled to the method of being inserted by the operating portion 30.

As described above, the receiving device of the present invention facilitates and facilitates mixing of two dissimilar substances, a concentrate or granules, which are mixed with water, drink or other liquid received in a container. Then, it can be effectively used in various industrial fields such as medical treatment, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics.
