[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a container with a small lid capable of opening and closing only a part of a lid.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a container which can be opened and closed only a part of a lid, a lid is detachably covered on the edge of the container body, and the lid is divided into a fixed portion and an opening / closing portion with a hinge as a boundary. Is disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 4-84152. In the conventional container, since the opening / closing part has a larger area than the fixed part, it is necessary to pull up the opening / closing part side of the lid with a relatively large force when taking out the contents.
Since both the fixed portion and the opening / closing portion are engaged with the continuous rim of the container body, when the opening / closing portion of the lid is to be opened, the entire lid is likely to come off.

[0003] The above-mentioned conventional containers contain detergents and foods, and the contents are taken out while measuring with a spoon. The lid is opened and closed while such a container is placed on a workbench or the like. General. Therefore, there is not much problem even if the entire lid is removed, and if one hand is vacant, the opening / closing section can be opened while pressing the fixing portion of the lid. However, in the case of a container that opens and closes a part of the lid while carrying around, it is difficult to operate the lid with both hands,
If the entire lid is opened, the contents may be spilled out of the container.

[0004]

According to the present invention, a small lid can be opened and closed, and there is no fear that the whole lid is opened or the lid is detached from the container body when the small lid is opened. It is an object to provide a container.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION A container with a small lid according to the present invention is provided with a container body having an opening on one side, removably fitted to an opening surface of the container body, and pivotally attached to one edge of the container body. A lid. The lid body is divided into a lid body near the one edge and a small lid closer to the other end with a smaller area than this.
The lid body and the small lid are connected in a bendable manner, and a first locking portion detachably engaged with the inner periphery near one end of the opening surface of the container body and the outer peripheral portion of the lid body is formed on the container body. A second locking portion detachably engaged with the inner periphery near the other end of the opening surface of the main body and the outer peripheral portion of the small lid is formed.

When the small lid is gently pulled in a direction away from the container body, the second locking portion is released and only the small lid is opened. At this time, since the first locking portion is independent, it is hardly affected when the small lid is opened, and the lid main body does not open with a small force for opening the small lid with a small area. When the lid is pulled with a stronger force, the first locking portion is released, and the lid body is also opened. Since the lid main body is pivotally attached to the container main body, there is no fear that the lid main body is accidentally opened from the large-area lid main body side, and the lid is not detached from the container main body.

A mount having a through hole is detachably sandwiched between the container body and the lid, and the first locking portion and the second locking portion are engaged inside the through hole, and the mount is attached to the container. It can protrude outward from the outer periphery of the main body and the lid. In a state of being displayed at a store, a mount on which an explanation or the like is displayed is attached. The mount can have a simple structure in which only a through hole is formed. Also,
When used, the backing sheet can be easily removed simply by opening the lid.

I have. Outside the first ridge 7 and the first ridge 8, a lid flange 9 projects on the outer periphery of the lid 3. Note that the lid flange 9 along the other end edge of the lid 3 has one half 9 a that is the other half 9.
It is formed wider than b.

On the inner periphery of the opening surface of the container body 2, near the one end edge (closer to the bending line 4), a first step portion 10 detachably engaged with the first ridge 7 of the lid body 5. Formed,
Near the other end edge, there is formed a second step portion 11 which detachably engages with the second ridge 8 of the small lid 6. And the first
The first ridge 7 and the first step 10 constitute a first locking portion for anchoring the lid body 5 and the container body 2, and the second ridge 8 and the second step 11 , Small lid 6 and container body 2
And a second locking portion for mooring is formed.

At the boundary between the first step 10 and the second step 11, short projecting walls 12 are formed on both sides of the inner peripheral surface of the container body 2 so as to separate the storage section of the container body 2. The first step 10 and the second step 11 are separated by the overhanging wall 12. Further, as shown in FIG. 2, protrusions 17 are formed at the upper ends of the inner surfaces on both sides of the inner surface of the first step portion 10 and both sides of the second step portion 11, respectively. When the first step 10, the second protrusion 8 and the second step 11 are engaged, the protrusion 17 presses the first protrusion 7 and the second protrusion 8, and the , The engagement is not released unless it is removed.

Outside the first step portion 10 and the second step portion 11, a container body flange 13 projects on the outer periphery of the opening surface of the container body 2. A container body flange 13 along one edge of the container body 2 and a lid flange 9 along one edge of the lid 3 are connected to each other via a bending line 4. The container body flange 13 along the other end of the container body 2 is formed such that one half 13a is formed narrower than the other half 13b, and the cover flange 9 of the cover 3 and the container body flange 13 of the container body 2 are formed. And one half of the lid flange 9

When the cover 3 is opened, the mount 14 can be easily removed. Even when the mount 14 is attached in this manner, since the container body 2 and the lid 3 are transparent and the through holes 15 are formed in the mount 14, the inside of the container 1 with the small lid can be visually recognized.

When articles other than golf tees are to be stored, it is natural that the size of each part of the container with a small lid is set to a size corresponding to the articles. The size can be changed as appropriate.
In addition, only one of the container body and the lid may be transparent, or if the stored articles are not desired to be seen from the outside, or if the articles that are easily deteriorated by light rays are stored, the container body and the lid may be replaced. Any of them can be formed of an opaque material.

[0017]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, since the lid body is pivotally attached to the container body, the lid body must be pulled up from the small lid side when the lid body is opened. With a small force, the large-area lid body is difficult to open, and
The first locking portion and the second locking portion are separated from each other, and the first locking portion and the second locking portion are separated from each other.
The locking part is not easily affected by opening the small lid, so the lid itself does not open just by opening the small lid, it is easy to take out the contents by opening only the small lid while carrying it Alternatively, it is possible to prevent the contents from spilling out of the container body by unintentionally opening the entire lid. According to the second aspect of the present invention, in the state of being displayed at the store, a mount on which an explanation or the like is written can be mounted between the container body and the lid, and the structure of the mount also has a through hole. Since a single sheet of paper is sufficient, the cost can be reduced as compared with a mount that also serves as a package. Further, it is possible to easily remove the backing paper only by opening the lid.
