CASE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18231858 titled 'CASE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a case with a sliding shutter that opens and closes a discharge port.
- The case includes a guide portion that helps in the sliding movement of the shutter.
- There is a main pathway where one end of the shutter is located when the discharge port is open.
- The shutter can be selectively inserted into either the first or second branching pathways when the discharge port is closed.
- When a pin is fitted into the case, the end of the shutter is inserted into the first branching pathway.
- When the pin is not fitted, the end of the shutter is inserted into the second branching pathway.
- This allows for easy identification from the exterior whether the end of the shutter is inserted into the first or second branching pathway.
Original Abstract Submitted
A case includes a guide portion to guide sliding of a shutter to open and close a discharge port of a case body, a main pathway at which an end of the shutter is located when the shutter is in a state to open the discharge port, and first and second branching pathways into which the end of the shutter can be selectively inserted when the shutter is in a state to close the discharge port. When a pin is fitted into the case body, the end of the shutter is inserted into the first branching pathway, and when the pin is not fitted, the end is inserted into the second branching pathway, so that it is apparent from the exterior that the distal end is inserted into the first or second branching pathway.
