Description

【考案の詳細な説明】[Detailed description of the device]

【0001】[0001]

【産業上の利用分野】[Industrial applications]

本考案は、キャンディ等の粒状の物品を収容する携帯用の容器に関する。 The present invention relates to a portable container for containing granular articles such as candy.

【0002】[0002]

【従来の技術】[Prior Art]

キャンディ等の粒状の物品を収容して携帯する容器は従来より使用されており 、一般には円筒形の本体とそれにかぶせる円筒形の蓋部材とからなる。これらは 使用時に両手を用いて蓋部材を本体から外して内容物を取り出す。また、蓋部材 を本体から外さなくても内容物を取り出せるように、蓋部材及び本体に取り出し 開口を設けて、通常はこれら開口が整合しない状態におき、使用時には蓋部材及 び本体を相対回転させて開口を整合させ、内容物が転がって出てくるようにした ものもある。 A container for accommodating and carrying a granular article such as a candy has been conventionally used, and generally includes a cylindrical main body and a cylindrical lid member that covers the cylindrical main body. When using these, use both hands to remove the lid member from the main body and take out the contents. In addition, opening is provided in the lid member and the main body so that the contents can be taken out without removing the lid member from the main body, and normally these openings are not aligned, and the lid member and the main body are relatively rotated during use. In some cases, the openings are aligned so that the contents roll out.

【0003】[0003]

【考案が解決しようとする課題】[Problems to be solved by the device]

従来の容器は、いずれの形式のものも、内容物を取り出そうとするときは使用 者は両手を使わなければならず、不便であった。本考案は片手のみの操作で内容 物を取り出すことのできる容器を提供することを目的とする。 Conventional containers of any type are inconvenient because the user has to use both hands when trying to take out the contents. It is an object of the present invention to provide a container from which contents can be taken out by operating with only one hand.

【0004】[0004]

【課題を解決するための手段】[Means for Solving the Problems]

上記目的を達成するため、本考案では、容器の本体と蓋部材の両方の互いに整 合し得る位置に取り出し開口を設けるだけでなく、本体と蓋部材との間に係止手 段を設け、該係止手段は、本体及び蓋部材の一方の周壁部に形成された周方向溝 と、本体及び蓋部材の他方に形成され上記溝に摺動可能に受け入れられる突起と からなるものとし、この係止手段により蓋部材が本体から外れるのを防止すると 同時に本体と蓋部材の相対回転範囲を2つの開口が一致する状態を含む一定の範 囲に限定するようになした。 In order to achieve the above object, the present invention not only provides a take-out opening at a position where both the main body of the container and the lid member can be aligned with each other, but also provides a locking means between the main body and the lid member. The locking means comprises a circumferential groove formed in one peripheral wall portion of the main body and the lid member, and a projection formed in the other of the main body and the lid member and slidably received in the groove. The locking member prevents the lid member from coming off from the main body, and at the same time, the relative rotation range of the main body and the lid member is limited to a certain range including a state where the two openings coincide with each other.

【0005】[0005]

【作用】 上述の係止手段は、使用者が片手で操作しても、蓋部材が本体から意図しない ときに外れることを防止する。係止手段はまた、蓋部材と本体の相対回転の範囲 を限定するので、2つの開口が整合する状態を手のみによる操作で判るようにす る機能も発揮する。The above-mentioned locking means prevents the lid member from being unintentionally disengaged from the main body even when the user operates it with one hand. Since the locking means limits the range of relative rotation between the lid member and the main body, it also has a function of making it possible to know the state in which the two openings are aligned by a manual operation.

【0006】[0006]

【実施例】【Example】

図1は本考案による容器1の蓋部材3と本体5とを互いに分離させた状態で示 す斜視図で、ここに示すように、これらは周壁部7、9に各々取り出し開口11 、13を有している。本体5の周壁部9の内側には円周方向に突条15が周壁を 変形させることにより形成されている。したがって突条の逆側すなわち周壁部の 外面には円周方向に溝15gが形成されている。 FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a state in which a lid member 3 and a body 5 of a container 1 according to the present invention are separated from each other. As shown here, these are provided with outlet openings 11 and 13 on peripheral wall portions 7 and 9, respectively. Have Inside the peripheral wall portion 9 of the main body 5, a ridge 15 is formed in the circumferential direction by deforming the peripheral wall. Therefore, a groove 15g is formed in the circumferential direction on the opposite side of the ridge, that is, on the outer surface of the peripheral wall portion.

【0007】 蓋部材3にはその周壁部7の内面に突起17が形成されている。この突起は蓋 部材を本体にはめた状態で溝15gの中に摺動可能に収容される。蓋部材3を本 体5にかぶせるとき、突起17はその運動に干渉するが、蓋部材の周壁部7が弾 性変形するので突起は溝15gに達することができる。突起が溝に収容された後 は、強い力を働かせない限り蓋部材は本体から外れない。このように突起17と 溝15gとは蓋部材3の外れを防止する係止手段を構成している。この係止手段 はまた、蓋部材と本体との相対回転を、周方向に溝が延びている範囲にのみ限定 する。この例では、突起と溝の位置は、突起17が溝15gの図1で見て左端に きたとき2つの開口11、13が整合するように選ばれている。A protrusion 17 is formed on the inner surface of the peripheral wall portion 7 of the lid member 3. The protrusion is slidably accommodated in the groove 15g with the lid member fitted to the main body. When the lid member 3 is placed on the main body 5, the protrusion 17 interferes with its movement, but since the peripheral wall portion 7 of the lid member is elastically deformed, the protrusion can reach the groove 15g. After the protrusion is housed in the groove, the lid member cannot be removed from the main body unless strong force is exerted. Thus, the protrusion 17 and the groove 15g constitute a locking means for preventing the lid member 3 from coming off. This locking means also limits relative rotation between the lid member and the body only to the extent that the groove extends in the circumferential direction. In this example, the positions of the protrusions and the grooves are selected so that the two openings 11 and 13 are aligned when the protrusion 17 comes to the left end of the groove 15g in FIG.

【0008】 図1に示した容器を使用する際には、使用者は片手で蓋部材3と本体5とを相 対回転させるのみでよい。蓋部材を図1で見て本体に対し反時計方向に回し突起 17が溝15gの左端に達してそれ以上回転しなくなった状態で開口11、13 が整合した状態になる。したがって使用者は容器を目視する必要がなく、ポケッ トなどの中で操作を行うことができる。開口が整合した後容器を振って必要個数 の物品を出した後、再び片手で蓋部材を回転させ開口を閉じることができる。こ の際、回転の範囲は比較的小さな角度に限定されているので、次に開口を開ける とき、必要とされる回転角が小さく、操作が容易となる。When the container shown in FIG. 1 is used, the user only has to rotate the lid member 3 and the main body 5 in a pair with one hand. The lid member is turned counterclockwise with respect to the main body as seen in FIG. 1, and the openings 17 and 13 are aligned when the projection 17 reaches the left end of the groove 15g and is no longer rotated. Therefore, the user does not need to visually inspect the container and can operate it in a pocket or the like. After the openings are aligned, the container can be shaken to take out the required number of articles, and then the lid member can be rotated again with one hand to close the openings. At this time, since the range of rotation is limited to a relatively small angle, the next time the opening is opened, the required rotation angle is small and the operation is easy.

【0009】 ここで、可能な相対回転範囲の一方の終端で2つの開口が整合する例を示した が、必ずしもこのような構成にしなくても、2つの開口が相対回転範囲のいずれ かで整合すれば、許される相対回転範囲が狭いので使用者は閉じた状態(回転範 囲のいずれかの終端にある)からの回転角度で整合状態を知ることができる。Here, an example in which the two openings are aligned at one end of the possible relative rotation range has been shown, but the two openings are aligned in either of the relative rotation ranges without necessarily having such a configuration. Then, since the relative rotation range allowed is small, the user can know the alignment state by the rotation angle from the closed state (at either end of the rotation range).

【0010】 図2は図1の容器の構成要素として用いるのに適したすのこ20の斜視図であ る。図1に示すように、蓋部材3はその縁部19が鋭いままになってけがの可能 性があることを避けるため、通常ロール工程などで折り返されている(図2のE で示す部分参照)。したがって、開口11は蓋部材の下縁ぎりぎりに作ることは できない。また本体5の下部には厚くなった縁部19と段差がなくなるよう拡大 部33が形成されるので、蓋部材は本体にかぶせた状態でその下縁が本体の底壁 21(図3)よりかなり上にある。したがって開口11、13の底方向縁部(こ の例では下縁)は本体の底壁からかなり上の位置に形成せざるを得ない。このた め開口の下縁と本体の底壁との段差によって物品が開口から出にくくなる。すの こ20は図3に示すように本体に固定して用いるもので、床部23を有し、すの こを本体に取り付けた状態で床部23が開口11、13の下縁にほぼ一致した高 さに来るような形状を有する。FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a sludge 20 suitable for use as a component of the container of FIG. As shown in FIG. 1, the lid member 3 is normally folded back by a roll process or the like in order to avoid the possibility that the edge portion 19 of the lid member 3 remains sharp and may cause an injury (see a portion indicated by E in FIG. 2). ). Therefore, the opening 11 cannot be made just near the lower edge of the lid member. Further, since the enlarged portion 33 is formed in the lower portion of the main body 5 so as to eliminate the step difference with the thickened edge portion 19, the lower edge of the lid member is covered with the main body by the bottom wall 21 (FIG. 3) of the main body Well above. Therefore, the bottom edges (lower edges in this example) of the openings 11 and 13 must be formed at a position considerably above the bottom wall of the main body. Therefore, the step between the lower edge of the opening and the bottom wall of the main body makes it difficult for the article to come out of the opening. As shown in FIG. 3, the drainboard 20 is used by being fixed to the main body, and has a floor portion 23. When the drainboard 20 is attached to the main body, the floor portion 23 is almost at the lower edges of the openings 11 and 13. It has such a shape that it comes to the same height.

【0011】 床部には孔24が多数あけてあり、容器に収容した物品がキャンディなどで砂 糖をまぶしてある場合に、砂糖が床部23の下に落ちて、開口の下縁とほぼ高さ の一致した床面から開口を通して容易に砂糖がこぼれることを防止している。When the article housed in the container is sprinkled with lactose with candy or the like, the sugar falls under the floor 23 and is almost flush with the lower edge of the opening. It prevents sugar from spilling easily through the openings from the floors of the same height.

【0012】 すのこの目的は上述の通りであるので、図2に示すものに限定されず、例えば 図5に示すように紙を波形に成形したものを丸く切って本体5の底にはめてもよ い。この場合、波形の山25tが床面を形成し、その谷25bが砂糖をためるス ペースを提供する。Since this purpose of soot is as described above, it is not limited to that shown in FIG. 2, and for example, as shown in FIG. 5, a corrugated sheet of paper may be cut into a circle and fitted into the bottom of the main body 5. Good. In this case, the corrugated peaks 25t form the floor surface, and the valleys 25b thereof provide the space for storing sugar.

【0013】 図2の例では、すのこ20はガイド27を有している。すのこはこのガイド2 7が図1に鎖線で示すように開口13の一方の側縁に隣接するようにして本体5 に取り付けられる。ガイド27は物品が開口から出ることを容易にする。In the example of FIG. 2, the drainboard 20 has a guide 27. The sludge is attached to the main body 5 such that the guide 27 is adjacent to one side edge of the opening 13 as shown by a chain line in FIG. The guide 27 facilitates the exit of the article from the opening.

【0014】 図1及び図3に示されるように、蓋部材3は環状の突条29を有している。こ の突条の内側の領域に図案等をプリントしておくと、他のものに触れる可能性が 少なく剥げることがない。本体の底壁21には多数の突起31が環状に形成され ている。この環状に配置された突起31の内側の部分を結ぶ線は蓋部材の突条2 9の直径にほぼ等しく、したがって複数の容器を重ねたとき、突条29と突起3 1の群は容器の横方向のずれを防止する滑り止め手段を構成する。このような滑 り止め手段は蓋部材3と本体5との部分同士が係合して横方向の相対移動を阻止 する限り、種々の形態をとることができるが、図示のものでは突起31が、使用 者の手で本体5を回転させようとするとき、手との滑りを防止する凹凸になる点 で有利である。As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the lid member 3 has an annular ridge 29. If you print a design in the area inside this ridge, it will not come off and will not come off. A large number of protrusions 31 are formed in an annular shape on the bottom wall 21 of the main body. The line connecting the inner parts of the projections 31 arranged in an annular shape is almost equal to the diameter of the protrusions 29 of the lid member, and therefore when a plurality of containers are stacked, the group of the protrusions 29 and the protrusions 3 1 are A non-slip means for preventing lateral displacement is constructed. Such an anti-slip means can take various forms as long as the portions of the lid member 3 and the main body 5 are engaged with each other to prevent relative movement in the lateral direction. However, it is advantageous in that when the user tries to rotate the main body 5 with his / her hands, the unevenness prevents slippage with the hand.

【0015】 なお、突起31に限らず、種々の滑り止め手段を、蓋部材と本体の一方あるい は両方に設けることができる。これらは、例えば本体の下縁の拡大部33の外周 面に沿って全周に設けた凹凸でもよく、また蓋部材の周壁部7の上部あるいは頂 面の外周縁部にそってに円周方向に設けた凹凸でもよい。Not limited to the protrusion 31, various anti-slip means can be provided on one or both of the lid member and the main body. These may be, for example, unevenness provided on the entire circumference along the outer peripheral surface of the enlarged portion 33 at the lower edge of the main body, or in the circumferential direction along the outer peripheral portion of the top wall or the peripheral wall portion 7 of the lid member. It may be unevenness provided on the.
