연합인증

연합인증 가입 기관의 연구자들은 소속기관의 인증정보(ID와 암호)를 이용해 다른 대학, 연구기관, 서비스 공급자의 다양한 온라인 자원과 연구 데이터를 이용할 수 있습니다.

이는 여행자가 자국에서 발행 받은 여권으로 세계 각국을 자유롭게 여행할 수 있는 것과 같습니다.

연합인증으로 이용이 가능한 서비스는 NTIS, DataON, Edison, Kafe, Webinar 등이 있습니다.

한번의 인증절차만으로 연합인증 가입 서비스에 추가 로그인 없이 이용이 가능합니다.

다만, 연합인증을 위해서는 최초 1회만 인증 절차가 필요합니다. (회원이 아닐 경우 회원 가입이 필요합니다.)

연합인증 절차는 다음과 같습니다.

최초이용시에는
ScienceON에 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 로그인 (본인 확인 또는 회원가입) → 서비스 이용

그 이후에는
ScienceON 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 서비스 이용

연합인증을 활용하시면 KISTI가 제공하는 다양한 서비스를 편리하게 이용하실 수 있습니다.

The pocket-size hybrid container for use with consumer products of claim 1, wherein the container is a three-piece container consisting of the cover, outer base housing and inner ring, the outer base housing is metal, the cover is metal, and the inner ring is rigid plastic. 3. The pocket-size container for use with consumer products of claim 2, wherein the inner ring further comprises a bottom portion which covers an inner surface of the bottom portion of the outer base housing. 4. The pocket-size hybrid container for use with consumer products of claim 2, wherein the inner ring is a single piece of injection molded plastic. 5. The pocket-size hybrid container of claim 4, wherein the inner ring is injection molded of a material selected from the group consisting of polypropylene, polyethylene, polystyrene, nylon, polysulfone, polyester, polyurethane, and combinations thereof. 6. The pocket-size hybrid container for use with consumer products of claim 2, further comprising a corrosion resistant coating on at least one of the interior of the outer base housing and the interior of the cover. 7. The pocket-size hybrid container for use with consumer products of claim 6, wherein the corrosion resistant coating is an epoxy coating. 8. The pocket-size hybrid container for use with consumer products of claim 1, wherein: the bottom portion is substantially round;the sidewall portion is substantially cylindrical;the sidewall portion joins the bottom portion in a rounded corner with a smooth radius;the cover top portion is substantially round in a size to match the bottom portion and joins the downwardly extending flange in a rounded corner with a smooth radius. 9. The pocket-size hybrid container for use with consumer products of claim 1, wherein an external surface of the protruding portion of the inner ring is tapered toward an upper edge of the protruding portion to fit within the downwardly extending flange of the cover and the exterior surface of the protruding portion below the tapered upper edge provides a friction fit with the downwardly extending flange of the cover. 10. The pocket-size hybrid container for use with consumer products of claim 1, further comprising: a printed label on at least one of an exterior surface of the outer base housing and an exterior surface of the cover; anda scratch resistant textured coating on the exterior and/or interior surfaces of the outer base housing and the cover. 11. The pocket-size hybrid container for use with consumer products of claim 10, wherein at least one of the cover and the bottom portion of the outer base housing further comprise a recessed panel to accept one from the group of embossing, labeling, onsetting applications, ink jet printing or a combination thereof. 12.
