Description

開閉自在容器Openable / closable container
 本発明は、例えば取出口を有する本体と、本体に対して開閉自在な開閉蓋とを有する開閉自在容器に関する。 The present invention relates to an openable / closable container having, for example, a main body having an outlet and an open / close lid that can be opened and closed with respect to the main body.
 例えばウェットティッシュを内部に収納する開閉自在容器は、ウェットティッシュ等を収納するとともにウェットティッシュ等の取出口を有する容器本体と、取出口を開閉自在に密閉する開閉蓋とを備えている。 For example, an openable / closable container for storing a wet tissue includes a container body that stores a wet tissue and the like and has an outlet for the wet tissue, and an open / close lid that seals the outlet for opening and closing.
 使用に際しては、容器本体の取出口に対して開閉蓋が開かれ、容器本体の取出口からウェットティッシュ等が一枚ずつ取出される。 In use, the opening / closing lid is opened with respect to the outlet of the container body, and wet tissues and the like are taken out one by one from the outlet of the container body.
特開2003-170950号公報JP 2003-170950 A
 上述のように、従来の開閉自在容器は容器本体と、この容器本体に対して揺動自在に取付けられた開閉蓋とを備えており、使用に際しては開閉蓋を揺動させ、容器本体の取出口からウェットティッシュ等を取出している。 As described above, a conventional openable / closable container includes a container main body and an open / close lid that is swingably attached to the container main body. In use, the open / close lid is swung to remove the container main body. Wet tissue etc. is taken out from the exit.
 ところで、例えば特開2003-170950号公報にも示されているように、容器本体と開閉蓋との間には、開閉蓋を開方向に付勢する付勢手段が設けられている。また容器本体の正面側には、開閉蓋を開くための押しボタンが設けられており、押しボタンを操作した際、付勢手段によって開閉蓋が開かれるようになっている。 Incidentally, as disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2003-170950, an urging means for urging the opening / closing lid in the opening direction is provided between the container body and the opening / closing lid. In addition, a push button for opening the opening / closing lid is provided on the front side of the container body, and when the push button is operated, the opening / closing lid is opened by the urging means.
 しかしながら、従来の開閉自在容器において、押しボタンを操作した後、開閉蓋は、全開となるまで減速することなく一気に開かれ、全開位置でストッパに当接して急停止する。この際、開閉蓋がストッパに当接して停止した後、完全に静止するまでの間、開閉蓋はぐらぐら振動する。 However, in the conventional openable / closable container, after the push button is operated, the open / close lid is opened at a stretch without decelerating until it is fully opened, and comes into contact with the stopper at the fully open position and stops suddenly. At this time, after the opening / closing lid comes into contact with the stopper and stops, the opening / closing lid vibrates loosely until it completely stops.
 本発明はこのような点を考慮してなされたものであり、全開となる手前で開閉蓋を減速させ、開閉蓋を緩やかに停止させることが可能な開閉自在容器を提供することを目的とする。 The present invention has been made in consideration of such points, and an object of the present invention is to provide an openable / closable container that can decelerate the open / close lid before it is fully opened and can gently stop the open / close lid. .

The slope 43 slides while the spring body 34 abuts when the opening / closing lid 23 is moved from the open position to the closed position.
 次に図12乃至図14により、スロープ部(制動部)43の構成について説明する。図12は、開閉蓋23が全閉位置にあるときの、開閉自在容器10の部分断面図(揺動軸X-Xに垂直な断面図)であり、図13は、開閉蓋23が全開位置にあるときの、開閉自在容器10の部分断面図(揺動軸X-Xに垂直な断面図)である。また図14は、スプリング体34がスロープ部43に沿って移動する状態を示す図(揺動軸X-Xに垂直な断面図)である。 Next, the configuration of the slope portion (braking portion) 43 will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 12 is a partial cross-sectional view (cross-sectional view perpendicular to the swing axis XX) of the openable / closable container 10 when the open / close lid 23 is in the fully closed position, and FIG. FIG. 6 is a partial cross-sectional view (cross-sectional view perpendicular to the swing axis XX) of the openable / closable container 10 when in the position shown in FIG. FIG. 14 is a view showing a state in which the spring body 34 moves along the slope portion 43 (cross-sectional view perpendicular to the swing axis XX).
 図12および図13に示すように、スロープ部43は、側面方向から見て容器本体11内方(図12および図13の左方向)に向けて湾曲した弧状の内面43aを有するリブからなっている。また、スロープ部43は、その内面43aと揺動軸X-Xとの間の距離が、開閉蓋23が閉のときの状態から開のときの状態に向けて、徐々に狭まるように構成されている。 As shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, the slope portion 43 is composed of a rib having an arc-shaped inner surface 43 a that is curved toward the inside of the container body 11 (leftward in FIGS. 12 and 13) when viewed from the side. Yes. Further, the slope portion 43 is configured such that the distance between the inner surface 43a and the swing axis XX gradually narrows from the state when the opening / closing lid 23 is closed to the state when it is opened. ing.
 すなわち図14に示すように、スロープ部43の下端部43bと揺動軸X-Xとの間の距離をd1とする。また、開閉蓋23が全開状態(図13参照)となった際にスプリング体34が当接するスロープ部43の位置を符号43c(以下、全開点43cともいう)で示す。また当該全開点43cと揺動軸X-Xとの間の距離をd2とする。 That is, as shown in FIG. 14, the distance between the lower end portion 43b and the rocking shaft X-X of the slope portion 43 and the d 1. The position of the slope portion 43 with which the spring body 34 abuts when the open / close lid 23 is in the fully open state (see FIG. 13) is indicated by reference numeral 43c (hereinafter also referred to as a fully open point 43c). Also the distance between the fully opened point 43c and the swing axis X-X and d 2.
 この場合、スロープ部43の内面43aと揺動軸X-Xとの間の距離は、下端部43bから全開点43cにかけて徐々に狭まっている。すなわち、下端部43bと全開点43cとの間の位置43dと、揺動軸X-Xとの間の距離をd3とした場合、d1>d3>d2の関係が成り立っている。 In this case, the distance between the inner surface 43a of the slope portion 43 and the swing axis XX gradually decreases from the lower end portion 43b to the full open point 43c. That is, the position 43d between the lower end portion 43b and the fully opened point 43c, and the distance between the oscillation axis X-X and a d 3, d 1> d 3 > relationship d 2 is established.
 なお、スロープ部43は、全開点43cの直前までスプリング体34が内面43aに当接しないような形状としてもよい。このような形状とすることにより、開閉蓋23を閉から開とする際、開閉蓋23が全開位置(全開点43c)に移動している途中で停止することを防止することができる。 In addition, the slope part 43 is good also as a shape where the spring body 34 does not contact | abut to the inner surface 43a until just before the full open point 43c. By adopting such a shape, when the opening / closing lid 23 is opened from the closed state, it is possible to prevent the opening / closing lid 23 from stopping during the movement to the fully opened position (fully opened point 43c).
 あるいは、図15に示すように、スロープ部43の内面43aを円弧状に形成してもよい。 Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 15, the inner surface 43a of the slope portion 43 may be formed in an arc shape.
 なお取出口24(マウス部)の形状は、図1に示すものに限られず、例えば図18に示すように、第1上板27aに設けられた凹部94内において、取出口24の周囲にフラップ39が設けられていてもよい。 The shape of the outlet 24 (mouse portion) is not limited to that shown in FIG. 1. For example, as shown in FIG. 18, a flap is formed around the outlet 24 in a recess 94 provided in the first upper plate 27 a. 39 may be provided.
 次にこのような構成からなる本実施の形態の作用について説明する。 Next, the operation of the present embodiment having such a configuration will be described.
 ウェットティッシュ41を使用する際、まずユーザーが操作ボタン55の天板部65を押圧する。これにより、係止片32と爪部66との係合が解除される。この場合、板ゴム50の復元力により、開閉蓋23が開となる。 When using the wet tissue 41, the user first presses the top plate portion 65 of the operation button 55. As a result, the engagement between the locking piece 32 and the claw portion 66 is released. In this case, the opening / closing lid 23 is opened by the restoring force of the rubber plate 50.
 すなわち、開閉蓋23は、板ゴム50に付勢され、揺動軸X-Xを中心に開方向(図12の時計回り方向)に回動する。 That is, the opening / closing lid 23 is urged by the rubber plate 50 and rotates in the opening direction (clockwise direction in FIG. 12) about the swing axis XX.
 この間、スプリング体34とスロープ部43との作用は以下のようになる。まず図12に示す全閉状態において、スプリング体34は、容器本体11の背側段部25およびスロープ部43から離れた位置にある。 During this time, the action of the spring body 34 and the slope portion 43 is as follows. First, in the fully closed state shown in FIG. 12, the spring body 34 is located away from the back side step portion 25 and the slope portion 43 of the container body 11.
 次に、開閉蓋23が板ゴム50の復元力により開方向に回動すると、これに伴ってスプリング体34もスロープ部43側に移動し、スプリング体34がスロープ部43の内面43aに当接する(図14参照)。 Next, when the opening / closing lid 23 is rotated in the opening direction by the restoring force of the rubber plate 50, the spring body 34 is also moved to the slope portion 43 side, and the spring body 34 comes into contact with the inner surface 43a of the slope portion 43. (See FIG. 14).
 続いて開閉蓋23が更に回動することにより、スプリング体34は、スロープ部43の内面43aに沿って全開点43cに向けて上昇する。 Subsequently, when the opening / closing lid 23 further rotates, the spring body 34 rises toward the fully open point 43 c along the inner surface 43 a of the slope portion 43.
 この場合、上述したように、スロープ部43の内面43aと揺動軸X-Xとの間の距離は、下端部43bから全開点43cにかけて徐々に狭まっている。したがって、スプリング体34は、スロープ部43に沿って上昇するにしたがって徐々に圧縮されていく(図14参照)。このようにスプリング体34が圧縮されることにより、板ゴム50の付勢力に抗して、開閉蓋23の回動速度が抑えられる。 In this case, as described above, the distance between the inner surface 43a of the slope portion 43 and the swing axis XX gradually decreases from the lower end portion 43b to the full open point 43c. Accordingly, the spring body 34 is gradually compressed as it rises along the slope portion 43 (see FIG. 14). By compressing the spring body 34 in this manner, the rotation speed of the opening / closing lid 23 is suppressed against the urging force of the rubber plate 50.
 その後、開閉蓋23が全開位置に達すると、開閉蓋23の基端縁部23dがストッパ30に係止して開閉蓋23が停止する(図13参照)。 Thereafter, when the opening / closing lid 23 reaches the fully open position, the base end edge 23d of the opening / closing lid 23 is locked to the stopper 30 and the opening / closing lid 23 stops (see FIG. 13).
 この際、図13に示すように、スプリング体34の実際の形状(実線で示す)は、仮想線で示す本来のスプリング体の形状(符号34X)と比べて圧縮されている。このようにスプリング体34がスロープ部43に対して復元力を加えることにより、開閉蓋23の回転速度を抑え、開閉蓋23を全開位置で緩やかに停止させることができる。 At this time, as shown in FIG. 13, the actual shape (indicated by a solid line) of the spring body 34 is compressed as compared with the original shape of the spring body (reference numeral 34X) indicated by an imaginary line. Thus, the spring body 34 applies a restoring force to the slope portion 43, so that the rotational speed of the open / close lid 23 can be suppressed and the open / close lid 23 can be gently stopped at the fully open position.
 次に容器本体11の取出口24からウェットティッシュ41を指で摘んで上方へ引っ張り出し、使用する。 Next, the wet tissue 41 is picked with a finger from the outlet 24 of the container body 11 and pulled upward to use.
 以上のように本実施の形態によれば、開閉蓋23が全開となる前に、開閉蓋23のスプリング体34が、容器本体11のスロープ部(制動部)43の内面43aに沿って徐々に圧縮される。これにより開閉蓋23を少しずつ減速させることができ、全開位置で緩やかに停止させることができる。したがって、開閉蓋23がストッパ30に当接した後、開閉蓋23を振動させずに直ちに静止させることができる。 As described above, according to the present embodiment, before the opening / closing lid 23 is fully opened, the spring body 34 of the opening / closing lid 23 gradually moves along the inner surface 43a of the slope portion (braking portion) 43 of the container body 11. Compressed. Thereby, the opening / closing lid 23 can be decelerated little by little, and can be gently stopped at the fully opened position. Therefore, after the opening / closing lid 23 comes into contact with the stopper 30, the opening / closing lid 23 can be immediately stopped without vibrating.
 また本実施の形態によれば、開閉蓋23を全開位置で緩やかに停止させるための機構が簡単である。すなわち、スプリング体34は、開閉蓋23と一体成形することができ、スロープ部43は、容器本体11と一体成形することができるので、このような機構を低コストで容易に実現することができる。 Further, according to the present embodiment, the mechanism for gently stopping the open / close lid 23 at the fully open position is simple. That is, since the spring body 34 can be integrally formed with the open / close lid 23 and the slope portion 43 can be integrally formed with the container body 11, such a mechanism can be easily realized at low cost. .

 他方、図19および図21に示すように、容器本体11側にはC字状部材45外周を取り囲む筒状体(制動部)47が設けられている。筒状体47は、揺動軸X-Xに平行に延びるとともに、内部に開閉蓋23のC字状部材45が挿着されるようになっている。また筒状体47は、上述した突起48a-48cが当接する内面47cを有している。 On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 19 and 21, a cylindrical body (braking part) 47 surrounding the outer periphery of the C-shaped member 45 is provided on the container body 11 side. The cylindrical body 47 extends in parallel with the swing axis XX, and the C-shaped member 45 of the opening / closing lid 23 is inserted therein. The cylindrical body 47 has an inner surface 47c with which the above-described protrusions 48a-48c abut.
 図22に示すように、筒状体47は、揺動軸X-Xを中心として均一な半径R1を有する等径部47aと、揺動軸X-Xを中心として半径がR1からR2(<R1)まで徐々に縮小する縮径部47bとからなっている。すなわちこの縮径部47bにおいては、内面47cと揺動軸X-Xとの間の距離が、開閉蓋23が閉のときの状態から、開のときの状態に向けて、徐々に狭まるようになっている。 As shown in FIG. 22, the cylindrical body 47 has an equal-diameter portion 47a having a uniform radius R 1 around the swing axis XX, and a radius from R 1 to R around the swing axis XX. 2 (<R 1 ), and a reduced diameter portion 47b that gradually decreases. That is, in the reduced diameter portion 47b, the distance between the inner surface 47c and the swing axis XX is gradually reduced from the state when the opening / closing lid 23 is closed to the state when the opening / closing lid 23 is opened. It has become.
 本実施の形態において、揺動軸X-Xを中心とした場合の等径部47aの角度は約260°であり、縮径部47bの角度は約100°であるが、これに限定されるものではない。 In the present embodiment, the angle of the equal-diameter portion 47a around the swing axis XX is about 260 °, and the angle of the reduced-diameter portion 47b is about 100 °, but is not limited thereto. It is not a thing.
 次にこのような構成からなる本実施の形態の作用について説明する。 Next, the operation of the present embodiment having such a configuration will be described.
 まずユーザーが操作ボタン55を押圧することにより、係止片32と爪部66との係合が解除される(図1参照)。この場合、板ゴム50の復元力により、開閉蓋23が開となる。 First, when the user presses the operation button 55, the engagement between the locking piece 32 and the claw portion 66 is released (see FIG. 1). In this case, the opening / closing lid 23 is opened by the restoring force of the rubber plate 50.
 この際、開閉蓋23は板ゴム50に付勢され、揺動軸X-Xを中心に開方向(図23(a)(b)の反時計回り方向)に回動する。なお、図23(a)は、全閉状態における、C字状部材45と筒状体47との関係を示す図であり、図23(b)は、全開状態における、C字状部材45と筒状体47との関係を示す図である。 At this time, the opening / closing lid 23 is urged by the rubber plate 50 and rotates in the opening direction (counterclockwise in FIGS. 23A and 23B) about the swing axis XX. FIG. 23A is a diagram showing a relationship between the C-shaped member 45 and the cylindrical body 47 in the fully closed state, and FIG. 23B is a diagram showing the relationship between the C-shaped member 45 in the fully opened state. It is a figure which shows the relationship with the cylindrical body 47. FIG.
 この間、C字状部材45と筒状体47との作用は以下のようになる。まず図23(a)に示す全閉状態において、C字状部材45の弾性部45bは、撓んでいない状態にある。 During this time, the operation of the C-shaped member 45 and the cylindrical body 47 is as follows. First, in the fully closed state shown in FIG. 23A, the elastic portion 45b of the C-shaped member 45 is not bent.
 次に、開閉蓋23が板ゴム50の復元力により開方向に回動すると、これに伴ってC字状部材45も筒状体47内で開方向(図23(a)に矢印で示す方向)に回動し、C字状部材45の外周45cに設けられた各突起48a-48cが筒状体47の内面47cに沿って摺動する。 Next, when the opening / closing lid 23 is rotated in the opening direction by the restoring force of the rubber plate 50, the C-shaped member 45 is also moved in the opening direction in the cylindrical body 47 (the direction indicated by the arrow in FIG. 23A). ) And the protrusions 48 a to 48 c provided on the outer periphery 45 c of the C-shaped member 45 slide along the inner surface 47 c of the cylindrical body 47.
 続いて開閉蓋23が更に回動することにより、C字状部材45の弾性部45bに設けられた突起48aが縮径部47bに達する。更に弾性部45bの突起48aは、縮径部47bに沿って筒状体47の内面47cを摺動する。 Subsequently, when the opening / closing lid 23 further rotates, the protrusion 48a provided on the elastic portion 45b of the C-shaped member 45 reaches the reduced diameter portion 47b. Further, the protrusion 48a of the elastic portion 45b slides on the inner surface 47c of the cylindrical body 47 along the reduced diameter portion 47b.
 この場合、上述したように、筒状体47の縮径部47bにおいて、内面47cと揺動軸X-Xとの間の距離は、開閉蓋23が閉のときの状態から開のときの状態に向けて、徐々に狭まっている。したがって、C字状部材45の弾性部45bは、弾性部45b上の突起48aが縮径部47bの内面47cに沿って移動するにしたがって、徐々に内方に撓んでいく(図23(b)参照)。このようにC字状部材45が撓むことにより、板ゴム50の付勢力に抗して、開閉蓋23の回動速度が抑えられる。 In this case, as described above, in the reduced diameter portion 47b of the cylindrical body 47, the distance between the inner surface 47c and the swing axis XX is the state when the open / close lid 23 is opened from the closed state. It is gradually narrowing towards. Therefore, the elastic portion 45b of the C-shaped member 45 is gradually bent inward as the protrusion 48a on the elastic portion 45b moves along the inner surface 47c of the reduced diameter portion 47b (FIG. 23B). reference). As the C-shaped member 45 is bent in this manner, the rotation speed of the opening / closing lid 23 is suppressed against the urging force of the rubber plate 50.
 その後、開閉蓋23が全開位置に達すると、開閉蓋23の基端縁部23dがストッパ30に当接して開閉蓋23が停止する。 Thereafter, when the opening / closing lid 23 reaches the fully open position, the base end edge 23d of the opening / closing lid 23 comes into contact with the stopper 30 and the opening / closing lid 23 stops.
 この際、図23(b)に示すように、弾性部45bの実際の形状(実線で示す)は、仮想線で示す本来の弾性部45bの形状と比べて撓んでいる。このようにC字状部材45の弾性部45bが筒状体47に対して復元力を加えることにより、開閉蓋23の回転速度を抑え、開閉蓋23を全開位置で緩やかに停止させることができる。 At this time, as shown in FIG. 23B, the actual shape (shown by a solid line) of the elastic portion 45b is bent as compared with the original shape of the elastic portion 45b shown by a virtual line. Thus, the elastic part 45b of the C-shaped member 45 applies a restoring force to the cylindrical body 47, so that the rotation speed of the opening / closing lid 23 can be suppressed and the opening / closing lid 23 can be gently stopped at the fully opened position. .
 次に容器本体11の取出口24からウェットティッシュ41を指で摘んで上方へ引っ張り出し、使用する。 Next, the wet tissue 41 is picked with a finger from the outlet 24 of the container body 11 and pulled upward to use.
 以上のように本実施の形態によれば、開閉蓋23が全開となる前に、開閉蓋23のC字状部材45の弾性部45bが、容器本体11の筒状体47の内面47cに沿って移動しながら徐々に内方に撓む。これにより開閉蓋23を少しずつ減速させることができ、全開位置で緩やかに停止させることができる。したがって、開閉蓋23がストッパ30に当接した後、開閉蓋23が振動せず直ちに静止させることができる。 As described above, according to the present embodiment, before the opening / closing lid 23 is fully opened, the elastic portion 45b of the C-shaped member 45 of the opening / closing lid 23 is along the inner surface 47c of the cylindrical body 47 of the container body 11. Gradually inward while moving. Thereby, the opening / closing lid 23 can be decelerated little by little, and can be gently stopped at the fully opened position. Therefore, after the opening / closing lid 23 comes into contact with the stopper 30, the opening / closing lid 23 can be immediately stopped without vibrating.
 また本実施の形態によれば、開閉蓋23を全開位置で緩やかに停止させるための機構が簡単である。すなわち、C字状部材45は、開閉蓋23と一体成形することができ、筒状体47は、容器本体11と一体成形することができるので、このような機構を低コストで容易に実現することができる。 Further, according to the present embodiment, the mechanism for gently stopping the open / close lid 23 at the fully open position is simple. That is, since the C-shaped member 45 can be integrally formed with the opening / closing lid 23 and the cylindrical body 47 can be integrally formed with the container body 11, such a mechanism can be easily realized at low cost. be able to.
 なお本実施の形態において、各筒状体47は、容器本体11の背側段部25の側面から内側に向けて突出している。しかしながら、これに限らず、筒状体47は、背側段部25の側面内に形成された筒状の凹部からなっていてもよい。 In the present embodiment, each cylindrical body 47 protrudes inward from the side surface of the back side step portion 25 of the container body 11. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the cylindrical body 47 may be formed of a cylindrical recess formed in the side surface of the back side step portion 25.
 なお本実施の形態において、C字状部材45および筒状体47は、開閉蓋23の両側部23b側に設けられているが、これに限らず、C字状部材45および筒状体47を一方の側部23b側のみに設けても良い。 In the present embodiment, the C-shaped member 45 and the cylindrical body 47 are provided on the both side portions 23b side of the opening / closing lid 23. However, the C-shaped member 45 and the cylindrical body 47 are not limited thereto. You may provide only in the one side part 23b side.
 第3の実施の形態
 以下、図面を参照して本発明の第3の実施の形態について説明する。図24および図25は本発明の第3の実施の形態を示す図である。図24および図25に示す第3の実施の形態は、スプリング体および制動部の構成が異なるものであり、他の構成は上述した第1の実施の形態と略同一である。図24および図25において、図1乃至図18に示す第1の実施の形態と同一部分には同一の符号を付して詳細な説明は省略する。
Third Embodiment Hereinafter, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. 24 and 25 are views showing a third embodiment of the present invention. The third embodiment shown in FIGS. 24 and 25 is different in the structure of the spring body and the braking portion, and the other structure is substantially the same as the first embodiment described above. 24 and 25, the same parts as those of the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 18 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof is omitted.
 図24に示すように、開閉自在容器10は、容器本体11と、容器本体11に揺動軸X-Xを中心に揺動自在に設けられた開閉蓋23と、容器本体11と開閉蓋23との間に設けられた板ゴム(弾性部材)50とを備えている。容器本体11および開閉蓋23の基本的な構成は、上述した図1乃至図5に示すものと略同様であり、ここでは説明を省略する。 As shown in FIG. 24, the openable / closable container 10 includes a container main body 11, an open / close lid 23 provided on the container main body 11 so as to be swingable about a swing axis XX, and the container main body 11 and the open / close lid 23. And a rubber plate (elastic member) 50 provided between the two. The basic configurations of the container body 11 and the opening / closing lid 23 are substantially the same as those shown in FIGS. 1 to 5 described above, and a description thereof is omitted here.
 図24および図25に示すように、開閉蓋23の基端23a側の両端に、それぞれ縦方向(揺動軸X-Xに対して垂直な方向)に延びる一対のスリット52a、52bが形成されている。また各一対のスリット52a、52b間に、それぞれ舌片からなるスプリング体53(以下舌片53ともいう)が形成されている。すなわち各舌片53は、開閉蓋23の基端23a側の両端にそれぞれ形成されている。 As shown in FIGS. 24 and 25, a pair of slits 52a and 52b extending in the vertical direction (direction perpendicular to the swing axis XX) are formed at both ends of the open / close lid 23 on the base end 23a side. ing. In addition, a spring body 53 (hereinafter also referred to as a tongue piece 53) formed of a tongue piece is formed between each pair of slits 52a and 52b. That is, the tongue pieces 53 are respectively formed at both ends of the open / close lid 23 on the base end 23a side.
 また図25に示すように、開閉蓋23の基端23a側の両側部23bに、それぞれ外側に向けて突出する円柱突起26が設けられている。他方、容器本体11の背側段部25の両側面には、各円柱突起26に対応する円形の挿入孔29が形成されている。開閉蓋23の各円柱突起26を容器本体11の各挿入孔29に挿着することにより、開閉蓋23が容器本体11に対して揺動軸X-Xを中心に揺動自在に連結される。 As shown in FIG. 25, cylindrical protrusions 26 are provided on both side portions 23b on the base end 23a side of the opening / closing lid 23 so as to protrude outward. On the other hand, circular insertion holes 29 corresponding to the respective cylindrical protrusions 26 are formed on both side surfaces of the back side step portion 25 of the container body 11. By inserting each cylindrical projection 26 of the opening / closing lid 23 into each insertion hole 29 of the container body 11, the opening / closing lid 23 is connected to the container body 11 so as to be swingable about the swing axis XX. .
 また図24および図25には示していないが、背側段部25にストッパ30が設けられている。このストッパ30は、開閉蓋23が全開状態となった際、開閉蓋23を所定位置に停止させるためのものである。 Although not shown in FIGS. 24 and 25, a stopper 30 is provided on the back side step portion 25. The stopper 30 is for stopping the opening / closing lid 23 at a predetermined position when the opening / closing lid 23 is fully opened.
 さらに、図25に示すように、背側段部25のうち少なくとも開閉蓋23の舌片53に対応する位置にスロープ部(制動部)54が設けられている。このスロープ部54は、開閉蓋23を開位置から閉位置にもっていく際、舌片53が当接して摺動するものである。 Further, as shown in FIG. 25, a slope portion (braking portion) 54 is provided at a position corresponding to at least the tongue piece 53 of the opening / closing lid 23 in the back side step portion 25. The slope portion 54 is a portion on which the tongue piece 53 comes into contact and slides when the opening / closing lid 23 is moved from the open position to the closed position.
 このスロープ部54は、側面方向から見て、内方に向けて湾曲した弧状の内面54aを有している。また、スロープ部54は、その内面54aと揺動軸X-Xとの間の距離が、開閉蓋23が閉のときの状態から開のときの状態に向けて、徐々に狭まるように構成されている。 The slope portion 54 has an arc-shaped inner surface 54a that is curved inward as viewed from the side. Further, the slope portion 54 is configured such that the distance between the inner surface 54a and the swing axis XX gradually narrows from the closed state to the open state. ing.
 なお図25は、開閉自在容器10を正面側から見るとともに部分的に断面で示した斜視図であり、便宜上、開閉蓋23を容器本体11から取り外して示している。 FIG. 25 is a perspective view of the openable / closable container 10 as seen from the front side and partially shown in cross section. For convenience, the open / close lid 23 is removed from the container body 11.
 次にこのような構成からなる本実施の形態の作用について説明する。 Next, the operation of the present embodiment having such a configuration will be described.
 まずユーザーが操作ボタン55を押圧することにより、係止片32と爪部66との係合が解除される(図1参照)。この場合、板ゴム50の復元力により、開閉蓋23が開となる。 First, when the user presses the operation button 55, the engagement between the locking piece 32 and the claw portion 66 is released (see FIG. 1). In this case, the opening / closing lid 23 is opened by the restoring force of the rubber plate 50.
 この際、開閉蓋23は板ゴム50に付勢され、揺動軸X-Xを中心に開方向(図25に矢印で示す時計回り方向)に回動する。 At this time, the opening / closing lid 23 is urged by the rubber plate 50 and rotates in the opening direction (clockwise direction indicated by an arrow in FIG. 25) about the swing axis XX.
 この間、舌片53とスロープ部54との作用は以下のようになる。まず開閉蓋23を全閉とした状態において、舌片53は、容器本体11の背側段部25およびスロープ部54から離れた位置にある。 During this time, the action of the tongue piece 53 and the slope portion 54 is as follows. First, in a state where the open / close lid 23 is fully closed, the tongue piece 53 is located away from the back side step portion 25 and the slope portion 54 of the container body 11.
 次に、開閉蓋23が板ゴム50の復元力により開方向に回動すると、これに伴って舌片53もスロープ部54側に移動し、舌片53がスロープ部54の内面54aに当接する。 Next, when the opening / closing lid 23 is rotated in the opening direction by the restoring force of the rubber plate 50, the tongue piece 53 is also moved to the slope portion 54 side, and the tongue piece 53 comes into contact with the inner surface 54a of the slope portion 54. .
 続いて開閉蓋23が更に回動することにより、舌片53は、スロープ部54の内面54aに沿って全開点54cに向けて上昇する。 Subsequently, when the opening / closing lid 23 further rotates, the tongue piece 53 ascends toward the full open point 54 c along the inner surface 54 a of the slope portion 54.
 この場合、スロープ部54の内面54aと揺動軸X-Xとの間の距離は、下端部54bから全開点54cにかけて徐々に狭まっている。したがって、舌片53は、スロープ部54に沿って上昇するにしたがって徐々に撓んでいく。このように舌片53が撓むことにより、板ゴム50の付勢力に抗して、開閉蓋23の回動速度が抑えられる。 In this case, the distance between the inner surface 54a of the slope portion 54 and the swing axis XX gradually decreases from the lower end portion 54b to the full open point 54c. Therefore, the tongue piece 53 is gradually bent as it rises along the slope portion 54. By bending the tongue piece 53 in this way, the rotational speed of the opening / closing lid 23 is suppressed against the urging force of the rubber plate 50.
 その後、開閉蓋23が全開位置に達すると、開閉蓋23の基端縁部23dが図示しないストッパ30に係止して開閉蓋23が停止する。この際、舌片53はスロープ部54により撓まされた状態にある。このように舌片53がスロープ部54に対して復元力を加えることにより、開閉蓋23の回転速度を抑え、開閉蓋23を全開位置で緩やかに停止させることができる。 Thereafter, when the opening / closing lid 23 reaches the fully open position, the base end edge 23d of the opening / closing lid 23 is locked to a stopper 30 (not shown), and the opening / closing lid 23 stops. At this time, the tongue piece 53 is bent by the slope portion 54. Thus, when the tongue piece 53 applies a restoring force to the slope portion 54, the rotation speed of the opening / closing lid 23 can be suppressed, and the opening / closing lid 23 can be gently stopped at the fully opened position.
 次に容器本体11の取出口24からウェットティッシュ41を指で摘んで上方へ引っ張り出し、使用する。 Next, the wet tissue 41 is picked with a finger from the outlet 24 of the container body 11 and pulled upward to use.
 以上のように本実施の形態によれば、開閉蓋23が全開となる前に、開閉蓋23の舌片53が、容器本体11のスロープ部(制動部)54の内面54aに沿って徐々に撓む。これにより開閉蓋23を少しずつ減速させることができ、全開位置で緩やかに停止させることができる。したがって、開閉蓋23がストッパ30に係止した後、開閉蓋23を振動させずに直ちに静止させることができる。 As described above, according to the present embodiment, before the opening / closing lid 23 is fully opened, the tongue piece 53 of the opening / closing lid 23 gradually moves along the inner surface 54a of the slope portion (braking portion) 54 of the container body 11. Bend. Thereby, the opening / closing lid 23 can be decelerated little by little, and can be gently stopped at the fully opened position. Therefore, after the opening / closing lid 23 is locked to the stopper 30, the opening / closing lid 23 can be immediately stopped without vibrating.
 また本実施の形態によれば、開閉蓋23を全開位置で緩やかに停止させるための機構が簡単である。すなわち、舌片53は、開閉蓋23と一体成形することができ、スロープ部54は、容器本体11と一体成形することができるので、このような機構を低コストで容易に実現することができる。 Further, according to the present embodiment, the mechanism for gently stopping the open / close lid 23 at the fully open position is simple. That is, since the tongue piece 53 can be integrally formed with the opening / closing lid 23 and the slope portion 54 can be integrally formed with the container body 11, such a mechanism can be easily realized at low cost. .
 なお上述した本実施の形態において、舌片53は開閉蓋23の両側に設けられているが、これに限らず、舌片53を開閉蓋23の一箇所にのみ設けても良い。 In the above-described embodiment, the tongue pieces 53 are provided on both sides of the opening / closing lid 23. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the tongue pieces 53 may be provided only at one location of the opening / closing lid 23.
 第4の実施の形態
 以下、図面を参照して本発明の第4の実施の形態について説明する。図26および図27は本発明の第4の実施の形態を示す図である。図26および図27に示す第4の実施の形態は、スプリング体およびストッパ部の構成が異なるものであり、他の構成は上述した第1の実施の形態と略同一である。図26および図27において、図1乃至図18に示す第1の実施の形態と同一部分には同一の符号を付して詳細な説明は省略する。
Fourth Embodiment Hereinafter, a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. 26 and 27 are diagrams showing a fourth embodiment of the present invention. The fourth embodiment shown in FIGS. 26 and 27 is different in the configuration of the spring body and the stopper portion, and the other configurations are substantially the same as those of the first embodiment described above. 26 and 27, the same parts as those of the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 18 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof is omitted.
 図26に示すように、開閉自在容器10は、容器本体11と、容器本体11に揺動軸X-Xを中心に揺動自在に設けられた開閉蓋23と、容器本体11と開閉蓋23との間に設けられた板ゴム(弾性部材)50とを備えている。容器本体11および開閉蓋23の基本的な構成は、上述した図1乃至図5に示すものと同様であり、ここでは説明を省略する。 As shown in FIG. 26, the openable / closable container 10 includes a container body 11, an opening / closing lid 23 provided on the container body 11 so as to be swingable about a swing axis XX, and the container body 11 and the opening / closing lid 23. And a rubber plate (elastic member) 50 provided between the two. The basic configuration of the container body 11 and the opening / closing lid 23 is the same as that shown in FIGS.
 図26および図27に示すように、開閉蓋23の基端23a側の両端に、それぞれL字形状のスリット61が形成されている。またL字形状のスリット61に沿って、横方向(揺動軸X-Xに平行な方向)に延びる側片からなるスプリング体62(以下側片62ともいう)が形成されている。すなわち各側片62は、それぞれ開閉蓋23の基端縁部23dに沿って水平に延び、開閉蓋23の両側部23b側に向けて突出するとともに、弾力性(バネ性)を有している。 As shown in FIGS. 26 and 27, L-shaped slits 61 are formed at both ends of the open / close lid 23 on the base end 23a side. A spring body 62 (hereinafter also referred to as a side piece 62) is formed along the L-shaped slit 61. The spring body 62 is a side piece extending in the lateral direction (direction parallel to the swing axis XX). That is, each side piece 62 extends horizontally along the base end edge 23d of the open / close lid 23, protrudes toward the both side portions 23b of the open / close lid 23, and has elasticity (springiness). .
 図27に示すように、開閉蓋23の基端23a側の両側部23bに、それぞれ外側に向けて突出する円柱突起26が設けられている。他方、容器本体11の背側段部25の両側面には、各円柱突起26に対応する円形の挿入孔29が形成されている。開閉蓋23の各円柱突起26を容器本体11の各挿入孔29に挿着することにより、開閉蓋23が容器本体11に対して揺動軸X-Xを中心に揺動自在に連結される。 As shown in FIG. 27, cylindrical protrusions 26 are provided on both side portions 23b on the base end 23a side of the opening / closing lid 23 so as to protrude outward. On the other hand, circular insertion holes 29 corresponding to the respective cylindrical protrusions 26 are formed on both side surfaces of the back side step portion 25 of the container body 11. By inserting each cylindrical projection 26 of the opening / closing lid 23 into each insertion hole 29 of the container body 11, the opening / closing lid 23 is connected to the container body 11 so as to be swingable about the swing axis XX. .
 また図27に示すように、容器本体11の背側段部25上であって、各側片62に対応する位置に、それぞれ断面逆L字形状を有するストッパ部63が設けられている。このストッパ部63は、開閉蓋23が全開状態となった際、側片62が弾性的に当接することにより開閉蓋23の開きを停止させるためのものである。 Further, as shown in FIG. 27, stopper portions 63 each having an inverted L-shaped cross section are provided on the back side step portion 25 of the container body 11 and at positions corresponding to the side pieces 62. The stopper portion 63 is for stopping the opening of the opening / closing lid 23 by the elastic contact of the side piece 62 when the opening / closing lid 23 is fully opened.
 次にこのような構成からなる本実施の形態の作用について説明する。 Next, the operation of the present embodiment having such a configuration will be described.
 まずユーザーが操作ボタン55を押圧することにより、係止片32と爪部66との係合が解除される(図1参照)。この場合、板ゴム50の復元力により、開閉蓋23が開となる。 First, when the user presses the operation button 55, the engagement between the locking piece 32 and the claw portion 66 is released (see FIG. 1). In this case, the opening / closing lid 23 is opened by the restoring force of the rubber plate 50.
 この際、開閉蓋23は板ゴム50に付勢され、揺動軸X-Xを中心に開方向(図27に矢印で示す方向)に回動する。 At this time, the opening / closing lid 23 is urged by the rubber plate 50 and rotates in the opening direction (the direction indicated by the arrow in FIG. 27) about the swing axis XX.
 その後、開閉蓋23が全開位置に達すると、開閉蓋23の側片62がストッパ部63に当接して開閉蓋23が停止する。この場合、側片62がバネ性を有しているため、側片62がストッパ部63に弾性的に当接する。 Thereafter, when the opening / closing lid 23 reaches the fully opened position, the side piece 62 of the opening / closing lid 23 comes into contact with the stopper portion 63 and the opening / closing lid 23 stops. In this case, since the side piece 62 has a spring property, the side piece 62 elastically contacts the stopper portion 63.
 このように側片62がストッパ部63に対して弾性的に当接することにより、側片62はショックアブソーバーとしての役割を果たす。これにより、開閉蓋23を全開位置で緩やかに停止させることができる。 Thus, the side piece 62 plays a role as a shock absorber by elastically abutting the side piece 62 against the stopper portion 63. Thereby, the open / close lid 23 can be gently stopped at the fully opened position.
 次に容器本体11の取出口24からウェットティッシュ41を指で摘んで上方へ引っ張り出し、使用する。 Next, the wet tissue 41 is picked with a finger from the outlet 24 of the container body 11 and pulled upward to use.
 以上のように本実施の形態によれば、スプリング体(側片)62がストッパ部63に対して弾性的に当接して開閉蓋23が衝突する衝撃を吸収する。これにより、開閉蓋23を全開位置で緩やかに停止させることができる。したがって、開閉蓋23がストッパ部63に係止した後、開閉蓋23を振動させずに直ちに静止させることができる。 As described above, according to the present embodiment, the spring body (side piece) 62 elastically abuts against the stopper portion 63 to absorb the impact of collision of the opening / closing lid 23. Thereby, the open / close lid 23 can be gently stopped at the fully opened position. Therefore, after the opening / closing lid 23 is locked to the stopper portion 63, the opening / closing lid 23 can be immediately stopped without vibrating.
 また本実施の形態によれば、開閉蓋23を全開位置で緩やかに停止させるための機構が簡単である。すなわち、側片62は、開閉蓋23と一体成形することができ、ストッパ部63は、容器本体11と一体成形することができるので、このような機構を低コストで容易に実現することができる。 Further, according to the present embodiment, the mechanism for gently stopping the open / close lid 23 at the fully open position is simple. That is, the side piece 62 can be integrally formed with the opening / closing lid 23, and the stopper portion 63 can be integrally formed with the container body 11. Therefore, such a mechanism can be easily realized at low cost. .
 なお上述した本実施の形態において、側片62およびストッパ部63は開閉蓋23の両側に設けられているが、これに限らず、側片62およびストッパ部63を開閉蓋23の一側のみに設けても良い。 In the above-described embodiment, the side piece 62 and the stopper portion 63 are provided on both sides of the opening / closing lid 23. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the side piece 62 and the stopper portion 63 are provided only on one side of the opening / closing lid 23. It may be provided.
