Definitions

  • This invention relates to a container, such as a tubular container, an extruded container, etc.
  • a container of this type has a threaded or a coupling type cap.
  • a container with an elastically reversible hinge comprising a container body 1 having a neck 12 which has a port 11, a cover 2 engagable with the port 11 for opening or closing the port 11 of the container body 1 and an elastically reversible hinge 3 formed on a part of a peripheral edge of the cover 2.
  • the cover 2 is opened or closed by the elastically reversible hinge 3, and the hinge 3 can hold the cover 2 in the opened or closed state as it is.
  • FIG. 1 and 2 show a first embodiment of the invention.
  • a container is formed of a synthetic resin, and comprises a container body 1 having a neck 12, a cover 2 and an elastically reversible hinge 3.
  • a reduced-diameter port 11 is formed at a top of the neck 12 of the container body 1.
  • An engaging recess 13 is formed on a part of an upper peripheral wall edge of the neck 12 from an upper surface of the neck 12.
  • a peripheral step 14 is formed at an upper peripheral wall edge of the neck 12.
  • a pawl engaging recess 16 for disengaging the cover 2 is formed from the upper surface of the neck 12 at radially opposite position to the engaging recess 13.
  • the cover 2 has a peripheral edge to be detachably engaged with the peripheral step 14 of the neck 12 on an inner surface of the cover 2.
  • a plug cylinder 21 to be engaged with the port 11 of the neck 12 is projected from the inner surface of the cover 2.
  • the cover 2 is molded with an elastic material.
  • the elastically reversible hinge 3 is formed at a part of the peripheral edge of the cover 2.
  • a hinge attaching base 31 of the hinge 3 is inserted fixedly into the engaging recess 13.
  • the elastically reversible hinge 3 comprises the hinge attaching base 31 of tongue piece with a pawl, integral hinges 32 and an elastic piece 33 of substantially L shape, and integrally molded with the cover 2.
  • An upper end of the attaching base 3 connects to the peripheral edge of the cover 2 by means of the integral hinges 32, 32.
  • the elastic piece 33 is provided between the integral hinges 32 and 32 at a position 34 near the center of the top surface of the cover 2 from an upper attachment 35 of the integral hinges 32, 32 and a position 37 of the base 31 below the integral hinges 32, 32.
  • the cover 2 is pivotally rotated at the integral hinges 32, 32 as a rotating axis to be opened or closed from the container body.
  • the integral hinges 32, 32 act as a first hinge.
  • Ends 34, 37 of the elastic piece 33 act as a second hinge and third hinge, respectively.
  • the elastically reversible hinge 3 is so formed that the elastic piece 33 is elongated to the maximum when the end 37, the integral hinges 32, 32 and the end 34 are disposed along a rectilinear line.
  • An elastic reversion is generated on the elastically reversible hinge 3 when the end 37, the integral hinges 32, 32 and the end 34 are aligned along the rectilinear line on the way of pivotally rotating the cover 2.
  • FIGs. 3 and 4 show a second embodiment of a container with an elastically reversible hinge of the invention.
  • a lower portion of the engaging recess 13 is cut out to be opened to form a cutout portion 17.
  • the cutout portion 17 communicates with the engaging recess 13.
  • the pawl of the hinge attaching base 31 is engaged with an upper edge 15 of the cutout portion 17.
  • the cover 2 of the container can be opened or closed by one-touch actuation. Since the elastically reversible hinge 3 is employed, the opening and closing states of the cover of the container can be held to be very convenient for use.
