Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
この発明はセーター、パンツなどの衣服類やカーペットなどの生活用品に発生した毛玉等を取り除く毛玉取り器に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
衣服類などに発生した毛玉を除去するため、従来は、毛玉を導入するための刃孔を有する多数の外刃101と、これらの外刃101に摺接しながら回転する内刃102とを備えたものが使用されていた。多数の刃孔から導入された毛玉を各外刃101と回転する内刃102との間で切断し、内刃102の回転により発生する遠心力で、多数の外刃101と内刃102との間の間隙を通して毛玉を外方に移動し、この間隙に連通するダストボックス105に毛玉が集められていた。
【0003】
【特許文献1】
特開2001−73270号公報(第1図)
【0004】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、従来の毛玉取り器では、多数の外刃101と内刃102の形成、乾電池の装着や取り替え、毛玉ボックスの取り出しや内部の手入れを可能にするためには、構成が複雑で、部品点数が多くなり、製作コストが割高になる不都合があった。また、回転する内刃102の存在は、使用時の安全性やトラブルの発生について危惧の念をいだかせる。その上、不使用時には、子供達の手の届かない所に保管する必要がある上、しばらく使用しないときは、乾電池を取り出して保管するなどの細かい配慮が必要となる不都合もあった。
【0005】
本発明は、上記事情に鑑みてなされたものであり、その主たる目的は、毛玉の除去を安全な状態で能率良く行なうことができ、除去された毛玉の回収状態の把握や排出が容易であり、不使用時の保管に手数がかからず、製作コストも割安な毛玉取り器を提供することにある。
【0006】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記目的を達成するために、本発明の毛玉取り器では、上端側が開口され下側中央部に長方形の開口が形成され半円形より幾分偏平に湾曲された容器本体と、この容器本体内に回動可能に保持され容器本体の長方形の開口から突出される上端開口の毛玉収納容器と、容器本体と毛玉収納容器との間の一方の空間部に位置して容器本体に保持され毛玉収納容器側に付勢される押圧部材と、容器本体の上端開口部に嵌合される透明な蓋部材とにより構成される毛玉取り器であって、容器本体は下側中央部の長さ方向のほぼ全体にわたって長方形の開口が形成され、幾分外側に湾曲するよう形成された両側端面の内側に、フラットな端面がそれぞれ設けられ、毛玉収納容器は、容器本体の長方形の開口から突出する外周面の中央部に、長さ方向の係止突条が形成され、この係止突条によって区分される片側外周面の上半部に、上側方向に傾斜する硬い傾斜パイル群が固着されるとともに、片側の端面から突出する軸部に、容器本体の外側に位置する回動つまみが取り付けられ、押圧部材は容器本体の上端開口部より上側の位置で、容器本体のフラットな端面に回動可能に保持されるとともに、毛玉収納容器と当接する内側面に上側方向に傾斜する硬い傾斜パイル群が固着され、前記毛玉収納容器は、毛玉収納容器の硬い傾斜パイル群が長方形の開口から突出する位置で、前記係止突条が長方形の開口の内端に係止し、毛玉収納容器の硬い傾斜パイル群が押圧部材の硬い傾斜パイル群より上側となる位置で、前記係止突条が押圧部材の下端に係止することにより、両位置の間を回動可能とされ、蓋部材は下端開口側の内面に形成された係合凹部と、容器本体の対応する位置に設けられた係合突出部とにより着脱可能に嵌合されていることを特徴としている。
【0007】
また、上記構成における傾斜パイル群に腰の強さを付与するためには、傾斜パイル群は基布に植設され、アクリル樹脂などの樹脂を含浸されたのち、加熱すればよい。
【0008】
また、蓋部材と容器本体とを着脱可能に嵌合するためには、蓋部材の係合凹部は、容器本体側に突出する半円弧状の突条の内面に形成された角状突出部と、その上側の蓋部材内面に設けられた切り欠きとにより形成され、容器本体の係合突出部は、上端面からの立上り壁の上端外表面に形成される台形の係突出部となるようにすればよい。
【0009】
そして、毛玉取り作業を能率良く行ないたいときには、蓋部材は上側表面に毛玉取り器の操作方向を示す矢印を傾斜パイル群側に向けて表示すればよい。
【0010】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明の毛玉取り器について詳細に説明する。図1から図6は、本発明の毛玉取り器の一実施例を示したものである。図1は蓋部材を分離した状態で示した正面図、図2は図1のII−II断面図、図3は容器本体側の平面図、図4は操作時の状態を示す底面図、図5は毛玉が掻き取られて毛玉収納容器に引き渡される過程を示した要部断面図、そして図6は容器本体と蓋部材との嵌合部を拡大して示した要部断面図である。
【0011】
本実施例の毛玉取り器は、図1および図2に示すように、上端側が開口された半円弧状の容器本体1と、この容器本体1内に保持される毛玉収納容器2と、容器本体1内の一方の側に保持されて毛玉収納容器2の外表面に付勢される押圧部材3と、容器本体1と嵌合する透明な蓋部材4とから構成されている。
【0012】
容器本体1は、図2に示すように、上下方向に幾分偏平になるよう湾曲されて半円形より半楕円形状に形成されている。容器本体1の下側中央部には、長さ方向のほぼ全体にわたって長方形の開口5が設けられている。長方形の開口5は、幾分水平方向に湾曲された底壁1aの部分に設けられている。容器本体1の両端には、幾分外側に湾曲する湾曲端面1b、1cが形成されており、それらの内側には、半円形の端面6と円形の端面7とが設けられている(図3)。
【0013】
半円形の端面6の上端中央部と押圧部材3側には、毛玉収納容器2と押圧部材3とを保持する軸受部6aと6bが、それぞれ上側に突出するよう形成されている。これに対し、円形の端面7は、横方向の一端で折り曲げ部7aにより湾曲端面1cに連結され、また、横方向の他端は、前記軸受部6bと対応する位置に形成された横向きの軸受部7bの下端側で容器本体1の内面側に連結されている。1dは湾曲端面1cに形成された半円形の大きな切り欠きである。
【0014】
容器本体1は、上端開口部2cの内壁に沿って薄い厚さの嵌合用立上り壁8がコの字形に形成されている。この立上り壁8は上端開口部の厚さの半分以下の厚さで、高さは前記半円形のフラットな端面6の上面と同じ高さである。立上り壁8は、容器本体1の長さ方向の中央部にそれぞれ一定の隙間9,9が設けられており、これらの隙間9,9の部分には、立上り壁8の上端より上側に突出した先端側の外面に、外側に向かって斜め下向きに傾斜する台形の係合突出部10a,10aを備えた係合部材10,10が設けられている。8aは立上り壁8に形成された補強突条である。
【0015】
容器本体1は、前記係合部材10,10の一方または両方のすぐ下側に、ほぼ垂直下向きまたは幾分内側に傾斜する長方形の突出部11が形成されている。この突出部11は、容器本体1を内側に押圧して両側の係合部材10,10を内側に弾性変形させて蓋部材4との係合を解除するときに使用される(図6)。
【0016】
毛玉収納容器2は、容器本体1の下側中央部に設けられた開口5の幅寸法より幾分大きな円弧状の容器で、その上端側は、容器本体1の上端よりかなり上側に突出している。毛玉収納容器2は、両端の端面2aと2bから突出する軸12,13により、容器本体1の半円形の端面6と円形の端面7に回動可能に保持されている。円形の端面7を貫通する軸13の先端側には、容器本体1の半円形の大きな切り欠き1dと一部重合する形で、回動つまみ14が取り付けられている。
【0017】
毛玉収納容器2は、下半部の内面が円弧状で、上半部は円弧状の両端からほぼ垂直に立上る平面状に形成されており、毛玉を収納する容積を大きくするとともに、上端開口部2cの幅をできるだけ広くして、毛玉の受け渡しや排出が容易に行なえるようにしている。この上端開口部2cを水平にしたとき、毛玉収納容器2の底壁2dの中央部には、細い係止突条2eが長さ方向全体にわたって設けられている。毛玉収納容器2は、この係止突条2eによって区分される片側外周面の上半部に、先端を上側方向に向けて傾斜された硬い傾斜パイル群15が、その先端部分を幾分突出された状態で固着されている。
【0018】
傾斜パイル群15は基布15aに対して傾斜方向を揃えて植設されており、傾斜パイル群15による毛玉の掻き取りを容易にするため、傾斜パイル群15にアクリル樹脂などの樹脂を含浸させたのち、加熱処理を施すことにより、傾斜パイル群15に硬さ(腰の強さ)を付与している。傾斜パイル群15の取り付けは、毛玉収納容器2に形成させた深さの浅い長方形の凹部2fの部分に、基布15aの部分を接着剤により固着して行なわれる。
【0019】
容器本体1と毛玉収納容器2との間の一方の空間部16には、円弧状に湾曲された押圧部材3が配設されている。この押圧部材3は、上端側の両端に設けられた軸3a,3bにより、前記半円形の端面6の軸受部6bと円形の端面7の軸受部7bとに回動可能に保持されている。押圧部材3の内面側には、パイル先端側を上側方向に傾斜させた硬い傾斜パイル群17が、押圧部材3の表面に形成された深さの浅い凹部3cの部分に、基布17aの部分を接着剤により固着されている。
【0020】
押圧部材3は上端側の一方、例えば、回動つまみ14と反対側の軸3aに4回程度巻き付けられたコイルバネ18により、毛玉収納容器2側に押圧されている。コイルバネ18は一端18aが容器本体1の内壁に当接され、他端18bは押圧部材3と平行になるよう折り曲げられた中間部分を、押圧部分3の外壁3dから突出された小径の2つの受軸3eと、それらの中間に突出されたやや大きめの押え軸3fとにより、しっかりと保持されている。そのため、押え部材3はコイルバネ18の巻き戻ろうとする弾性力により毛玉収納容器2側に押圧される。
【0021】
蓋部材4は透明なプラスチックなどを用いて作られ、その形状は容器本体1の場合と同様に、半円形の形状を上下方向に幾分偏平に湾曲させた形状をしており、一方の湾曲端面4aには、回動つまみ14の上半部と係合する半円形状の切り欠きが形成されている。これに対し、他方の湾曲端面4bの内側には、容器本体1の半円形の端面6と対応する位置に、半円弧状のフラットな端面19が形成されている。この端面19の下端部には、前記端面6の軸受部6a,6bと係合する切り欠き19a,19bが形成されている。
【0022】
また、蓋部材4の長さ方向両側の下端部には、幅方向のほぼ半分を容器本体1側に突出させた半円弧状の突条20が、蓋部材4と一体に形成されている。容器本体1の係合突出部10aと係合する係合凹部21は、前記半円弧状の突条20の上側半分の内面に形成された角状突出部20aと、容器本体1の立上り壁8の上端面と対応する位置で、蓋部材4の内面に形成された上向きの長方形の切り欠き4cとにより形成されている。この場合、角状突出部20aの上面は、前記係合突出部10aの水平な底面よりごくわずか下側に位置するように決められる(図6)。
【0023】
蓋部材4は、回動つまみ14と反対側の表面中央部に、毛玉を掻き取るときの移動方向を示す矢印22が表示されている。この矢印22は押圧部材3側の方向を向いている。また、回動つまみ14側の表面中央部には、互いに反対方向を示す2つの矢印23,23は、掻き取られた毛玉を傾斜パイル群15から毛玉収納容器2側に引き渡すときの回動つまみ14の操作方向を示したものである。
【0024】
次に、上記実施例の毛玉取り器の使用時における作動状態について説明する。
まず、回動つまみ14によって毛玉収納容器2を矢印22の示す方向に回転できるところまで回転し、毛玉収納容器2に固着された傾斜パイル群15を容器本体1の開口5から半分程度露出させる(図4、図5の(a))。このとき、下側に移動した毛玉収納容器2の一方の上端側が押圧部材3の傾斜パイル群17の下端部に接触するため、毛玉収納容器2はこの状態にしっかりと保持される。このため、毛玉取り作業は安定した状態で能率良く行なうことができる(図5の(a))。
【0025】
この状態で、毛玉取り器の蓋部材4側を手に持ち、容器本体1の開口5から露出している傾斜パイル群15を、毛玉が発生している衣服類や家庭用品などに接触する位置まで傾斜したのち、矢印22で示す方向に移動すると、先端側が移動する方向とほぼ同じ方向に向いている傾斜パイル群15によって毛玉を確実に掻き取ることができる。この掻き取りは、矢印22で示される一方向に繰り返し行なうことに留意すべきである。このため、一方向に移動した最終位置では、毛玉取り器は一旦上向きに移動したのち所定位置に移動するようにすればよい。
【0026】
毛玉の掻き取りが終ると、左手で容器本体1の部分を持ち、右手で回動つまみ14を持って毛玉収納容器2を左右方向に2回回動する。この回動操作において、傾斜パイル群15を上側に移動するとき、傾斜パイル群15に保持されている毛玉はそのままの状態で、押圧部材3の傾斜パイル群17の上側に移動される。この場合、毛玉収納容器2の回転は、その底壁2dの係止突条2eが押圧部材3の下端部に接触した位置で停止される(図5の(b))。毛玉が押圧部材3の傾斜パイル群17の方に移動しないのは、傾斜パイル群17の先端側が移動してくる毛玉の方に向いていないからである。
【0027】
次に、傾斜パイル群15を下側に移動するとき、傾斜パイル群17の先端側は移動してくる毛玉の方に向いていて毛玉を掻き取るため、傾斜パイル群15から離れた毛玉は、押圧部材3の傾斜パイル群17に保持される(図5の(c))。この場合も、毛玉収納容器2の回転は、一方の上端側が前記傾斜パイル群17の下端部に接触したときに停止される。
【0028】
この状態から傾斜パイル群15をいま一度上側に移動すると、傾斜パイル群17に保持されていた毛玉は、上側に移動してくる毛玉収納容器2の上端縁により上側に押し上げられる。傾斜パイル群17との係合を解除された毛玉は、自重により毛玉収納容器2内に移動し、ここに貯えられる(図5の(d))。
【0029】
毛玉が毛玉収納容器2内に引き渡されたのち、傾斜パイル群15を再度下側に移動させると、傾斜パイル群15が容器本体1の開口5の中央部まで引き出された状態で保持されるため、引き続き毛玉の除去が可能となる(図5の(d))。
【0030】
毛玉収納容器2内の毛玉の量が一定量以上になると、毛玉の排出が必要になる。この場合、蓋部材4の半円弧状の突条20,20のすぐ下側の容器本体1の部分11を両側から押圧すると、容器本体1の上端開口部の部分が弾性変形により内側に移動する。このため、蓋部材4の係合凹部21,21に係合していた係合突出部10a,10aが、係合凹部21,21との係合を解除されるため、蓋部材4を開くことができる。この状態で、毛玉収納容器2の上端開口部2cを下に向けると、毛玉収納容器2内の毛玉を排出することができる。
【0031】
毛玉の排出が終ると、容器本体1の上端開口部に蓋部材4の下端開口部を係合したのち、蓋部材4を上側から押圧すると、蓋部材4の内面に形成された角状突出部20aの下側の面が容器本体1の台形の係合突出部10aの傾斜面の部分を押圧して下側に移動するとき、係合部材10を内側方向に弾性変形して角状突出部20aを下側に通過させる。角状突出部20aが通過し終ると、係合部材10は自分自身の弾性復元力により元の正常な状態に戻ろうとするため、角状突出部20aとその上側の切り欠き4cとにより形成された係合凹部21に、前記台形の係合突出部10aが係合し、容器本体1と蓋部材4とはしっかりと結合される。
【0032】
なお、本発明の毛玉取り器は、上記実施例に開示された形状や構成のものだけに限定されるものではなく、適宜変更してもよい。例えば、容器本体1、毛玉収納容器2または蓋部材4の断面形状、押圧部材3の付勢手段、そして、容器本体1と蓋部材4とを着脱可能に係止、嵌合する手段などは、他の形状や構成のものに変更してもよい。
【0033】
【発明の効果】
以上詳述したように、本発明の毛玉取り器によれば、衣服類や生活用品などに発生している毛玉を、きわめて安全な状態で能率よく除去することができる。また、除去された毛玉の量は透明な蓋部材を通して外部から把握できる上、毛玉の排出は容器本体の上側中央部を押圧して蓋部材を開くだけの簡単な操作によって行なうことができる。その上、刃物やモーターなどを使用しない簡単で、部品点数の少ない構成にしているため、製作コストを割安にし、使用時におけるトラブルの発生を防止し、不使用時の保管に要する手数や維持費などを不要にすることができる。

This protrusion 11 is used when the container body 1 is pressed inward to elastically deform the engaging members 10 and 10 on both sides inward to release the engagement with the lid member 4 (FIG. 6).
[0016]
The fuzz ball storage container 2 is an arc-shaped container that is somewhat larger than the width of the opening 5 provided in the lower central portion of the container body 1, and its upper end protrudes considerably above the upper end of the container body 1. Yes. The hairball storage container 2 is rotatably held on the semicircular end face 6 and the circular end face 7 of the container body 1 by shafts 12 and 13 protruding from the end faces 2a and 2b at both ends. A rotating knob 14 is attached to the tip end side of the shaft 13 that passes through the circular end surface 7 so as to partially overlap with the large semicircular cutout 1d of the container body 1.
[0017]
The hairball storage container 2 is formed in a planar shape in which the inner surface of the lower half is arcuate and the upper half rises substantially vertically from both ends of the arcuate shape, and the volume for storing the hairball is increased, The width of the upper end opening 2c is made as wide as possible so that the hair balls can be easily delivered and discharged. When this upper end opening 2c is made horizontal, a thin locking protrusion 2e is provided at the center of the bottom wall 2d of the fuzz ball storage container 2 over the entire length direction. The fuzzy ball storage container 2 has a hard inclined pile group 15 whose tip is inclined upward in the upper half of one outer peripheral surface divided by the locking protrusion 2e. It is fixed in the state that was done.
[0018]
The inclined pile group 15 is planted so as to align the inclination direction with respect to the base fabric 15a, and the inclined pile group 15 is impregnated with a resin such as acrylic resin in order to facilitate scraping of the pills by the inclined pile group 15. After the heat treatment, the inclined pile group 15 is given hardness (waist strength) by heat treatment. The inclined pile group 15 is attached by fixing the portion of the base fabric 15a to the portion of the rectangular recess 2f having a shallow depth formed in the fuzz ball storage container 2 with an adhesive.
[0019]
In one space 16 between the container body 1 and the fuzz ball storage container 2, a pressing member 3 curved in an arc shape is disposed. The pressing member 3 is rotatably supported by the bearing portion 6b of the semicircular end surface 6 and the bearing portion 7b of the circular end surface 7 by shafts 3a and 3b provided at both ends on the upper end side. On the inner surface side of the pressing member 3, a hard inclined pile group 17 in which the tip end side of the pile is inclined in the upward direction is formed on the surface of the pressing member 3 and the portion of the base fabric 17a is formed in the shallow concave portion 3c. Are fixed by an adhesive.
[0020]
The pressing member 3 is pressed toward the hairball storage container 2 by a coil spring 18 wound about four times around one of the upper ends, for example, the shaft 3a opposite to the rotary knob 14. The coil spring 18 has one end 18 a abutting against the inner wall of the container body 1, and the other end 18 b receiving an intermediate portion bent so as to be parallel to the pressing member 3, and receiving two small diameters protruding from the outer wall 3 d of the pressing portion 3. The shaft 3e and the slightly larger presser shaft 3f protruding in the middle thereof are firmly held. Therefore, the pressing member 3 is pressed toward the hairball storage container 2 by the elastic force of the coil spring 18 trying to unwind.
[0021]
The lid member 4 is made of a transparent plastic or the like, and its shape is similar to the case of the container body 1 and is a semicircular shape that is slightly flattened in the vertical direction. A semicircular cutout that engages with the upper half of the rotary knob 14 is formed in the end surface 4a. On the other hand, a flat end surface 19 having a semicircular arc shape is formed inside the other curved end surface 4b at a position corresponding to the semicircular end surface 6 of the container body 1. Notches 19 a and 19 b that engage with the bearing portions 6 a and 6 b of the end surface 6 are formed at the lower end of the end surface 19.
[0022]
In addition, a semicircular arc-shaped ridge 20 is formed integrally with the lid member 4 at the lower end portions on both sides in the length direction of the lid member 4 so that substantially half of the width direction projects toward the container body 1 side. The engagement recess 21 that engages with the engagement protrusion 10 a of the container main body 1 includes an angular protrusion 20 a formed on the inner surface of the upper half of the semicircular arc-shaped protrusion 20, and the rising wall 8 of the container main body 1. Is formed by an upward rectangular cutout 4 c formed on the inner surface of the lid member 4 at a position corresponding to the upper end surface of the cover member 4. In this case, the upper surface of the angular protrusion 20a is determined so as to be located slightly below the horizontal bottom surface of the engagement protrusion 10a (FIG. 6).
[0023]
The lid member 4 has an arrow 22 indicating a moving direction when scraping the hairball at the center of the surface on the side opposite to the rotation knob 14. The arrow 22 points in the direction of the pressing member 3 side. In addition, two arrows 23, 23 indicating opposite directions at the center of the surface on the rotating knob 14 side are the rotations when the scraped hairball is delivered from the inclined pile group 15 to the hairball storage container 2 side. The operation direction of the moving knob 14 is shown.
[0024]
Next, the operation state at the time of use of the hair ball remover of the said Example is demonstrated.
First, the hair knob storage container 2 is rotated to the position indicated by the arrow 22 by the rotary knob 14 and the inclined pile group 15 fixed to the hair ball storage container 2 is exposed from the opening 5 of the container body 1 by about half. ((A) of FIGS. 4 and 5). At this time, since one upper end side of the hair ball storage container 2 that has moved downward contacts the lower end portion of the inclined pile group 17 of the pressing member 3, the hair ball storage container 2 is firmly held in this state. For this reason, the hair removal operation can be performed efficiently in a stable state ((a) of FIG. 5).
[0025]
In this state, hold the lid member 4 side of the hair ball remover in hand, and contact the inclined pile group 15 exposed from the opening 5 of the container body 1 with clothes, household items, etc. where hair balls are generated. After inclining to the position, when moving in the direction indicated by the arrow 22, it is possible to reliably scrape the hair balls by the inclined pile group 15 that is oriented in substantially the same direction as the direction in which the tip side moves. It should be noted that this scraping is repeated in one direction indicated by arrow 22. For this reason, at the final position moved in one direction, the hair removal device may be moved upward once and then moved to a predetermined position.
[0026]
When scraping of the hairball is finished, the container body 1 is held with the left hand, and the hairball storage container 2 is rotated twice in the left-right direction by holding the rotation knob 14 with the right hand. In this turning operation, when the inclined pile group 15 is moved upward, the hair balls held by the inclined pile group 15 are moved as they are above the inclined pile group 17 of the pressing member 3. In this case, the rotation of the hairball storage container 2 is stopped at the position where the locking protrusion 2e of the bottom wall 2d contacts the lower end of the pressing member 3 ((b) of FIG. 5). The reason why the pill does not move toward the inclined pile group 17 of the pressing member 3 is that the tip side of the inclined pile group 17 does not face the moving pill.
[0027]
Next, when the inclined pile group 15 is moved downward, the tip side of the inclined pile group 17 faces the moving hairball and scrapes the hairball, so that the hair separated from the inclined pile group 15 is removed. The balls are held by the inclined pile group 17 of the pressing member 3 ((c) of FIG. 5). Also in this case, the rotation of the fuzz ball storage container 2 is stopped when one upper end side comes into contact with the lower end portion of the inclined pile group 17.
[0028]
When the inclined pile group 15 is once again moved upward from this state, the hair balls held in the inclined pile group 17 are pushed upward by the upper edge of the hair ball storage container 2 moving upward. The hair balls released from the engagement with the inclined pile group 17 are moved into the hair ball storage container 2 by their own weight and stored therein ((d) in FIG. 5).
[0029]
After the hairball is delivered into the hairball storage container 2, when the inclined pile group 15 is moved downward again, the inclined pile group 15 is held in a state of being pulled out to the center of the opening 5 of the container body 1. Therefore, it is possible to remove the hairball continuously ((d) in FIG. 5).
[0030]
When the amount of pills in the pill ball storage container 2 exceeds a certain amount, the pills must be discharged. In this case, when the portion 11 of the container main body 1 immediately below the semicircular arc-shaped protrusions 20 and 20 of the lid member 4 is pressed from both sides, the upper end opening portion of the container main body 1 moves inward due to elastic deformation. . For this reason, since the engagement protrusions 10a and 10a engaged with the engagement recesses 21 and 21 of the lid member 4 are disengaged from the engagement recesses 21 and 21, the lid member 4 is opened. Can do. In this state, when the upper end opening 2c of the hairball storage container 2 is directed downward, the hairball in the hairball storage container 2 can be discharged.
[0031]
When the hairballs are discharged, the lower end opening of the lid member 4 is engaged with the upper end opening of the container body 1 and then the lid member 4 is pressed from the upper side to form a square protrusion formed on the inner surface of the lid member 4. When the lower surface of the part 20a presses the inclined surface portion of the trapezoidal engagement protrusion 10a of the container main body 1 and moves downward, the engagement member 10 is elastically deformed inwardly to form a square protrusion. Pass the part 20a downward. When the angular protrusion 20a has passed, the engaging member 10 tries to return to the original normal state by its own elastic restoring force, and thus is formed by the angular protrusion 20a and the upper notch 4c. The trapezoidal engagement protrusion 10a engages with the engagement recess 21, and the container body 1 and the lid member 4 are firmly coupled.
[0032]
