DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a container provided with a click-type cap which can be recognized by clicking on the completion of the tightening of the cap or the start state of the removal of the cap. It is intended to be performed under a large rotation.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Recently, containers filled with cosmetics or the like as contents have a great influence on the purchase intention of a product. A large number of irregularly shaped containers having a shape other than a perfect circle, such as a rectangular shape and a square shape, are circulating. For example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 57-53240 discloses a prior art relating to this point. Such techniques are referred to.

[0003] In order to seal the mouth of the container,
By tightening the cap, the end of the side wall of the cap is brought into contact with the shoulder of the container body, and the side wall of the cap is elastically deformed by further tightening, and the end of the side wall is inserted into the step provided on the shoulder. The cap is attached to the container body by dropping it. At this time, a click-like sound and response are accompanied, so that it is possible to confirm that the cap has been tightened. In addition, since this container can securely tighten the cap, the cap does not easily loosen even when an impact due to dropping is applied to the container, and the effect of preventing the cap from loosening to the container can be expected. is there.

[0004] Incidentally, the container provided with the cap as described above has a structure on the premise that the side wall of the cap is positively elastically deformed. There is a case where unevenness occurs in the insertion force, and the positioning and removal by tightening the cap cannot be performed smoothly.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a novel container which can be smoothly positioned and removed by tightening the cap with a stable force regardless of the presence or absence of elastic deformation of the cap. There is a suggestion.

[0006]

According to the present invention, there is provided a container body for filling contents, which is screwed to an opening of the container body.
A container provided with a click-type cap capable of grasping the state of attachment and detachment at the time of completion of the tightening and at the start of removal. Providing a cover that surrounds except for the mouth and bottom of the container body, and on the inclined surface, at the outermost end thereof, a step is provided for dropping the tip of the cap upon completion of tightening of the cap and positioning the cap, An elastic tongue for preventing the cover from falling off from the container main body and an elastic repulsion member for elastically supporting the cover to the container main body are provided between the cover and the container main body. It is a container provided with a click type cap.

[0007]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, the present invention will be described more specifically with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows a configuration example of a container according to the present invention in which the appearance of a synthetic resin cosmetic container having an elliptical planar shape is shown with a cap removed, and FIG. 2 is shown in FIG. Fig. 3 is a partial cross-sectional view showing a state before the container is assembled.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a container body for filling contents, and reference numeral 2 denotes a cap screwed to a mouth 1a of the container body 1. Reference numeral 3 denotes a mouth 1a and a bottom 1 of the container body 1.
It is a cover that surrounds except for b.

The cover 3 has an inclined surface 3a (which becomes lower toward the outside) which comes into contact with the tip of the cap 2 when the cap 2 is tightened at the mouth 1a of the container body 1.

Reference numeral 4 denotes a step provided at the outermost end following the inclined surface 3a of the cover 3, and reference numeral 5 denotes an elastic repulsion for elastically supporting the cover 3 on the container body 1 and securing a margin for tightening the cap 2. It is a member. The elastic repulsion member 5 enhances the mutual repulsion between the cover 3 and the container body 1 as the cap is tightened, and includes a base 5a and the base 5a.
a plurality of elastic tongues 5b which are integrally connected to the plurality of elastic tongues 5b and are arranged at intervals around the elastic tongues 5b.
Has a function of preventing the cover 3 from rattling on the container body 1 when the cap 2 is removed. Numeral 6 denotes an elastic tongue piece shown as an example integrally formed on the base 5a of the elastic repulsion member 5, and the tip of the elastic tongue piece 6 fits into the concave portion 3b of the cover 3 so that the elastic tongue piece 6 falls off the container body 1. To prevent.

FIG. 3 shows a cross section of the container before the cap 2 is attached. When the cover 3 is put on through the mouth 1a of the container body 1 and the state shown in FIG. 1 is reached, the elastic tongue 6 fits into the concave portion 1b provided on the side wall of the mouth 1a of the container body 1, whereby the cover 3 is prevented from falling off to the container body 1.

When the cap 2 is fitted to the mouth 1a and tightened, the tip of the cap 2 comes into contact with the inclined surface 3a of the cover 3 as shown in FIG. When the cap 2 is further tightened from this state, the container body 1 slides (pulls up) along the inner surface of the cover 3, and at the same time, the container body 1 and the cover 3 are moved by the elastic tongue 5 b of the elastic repulsion member 5. The repulsion between them will increase.

As the tightening amount increases, the tip of the cap 2 gradually slides outward along the inclined surface 3a,
As shown in FIG. 5, when the tip falls at the step 4 (with a click), the positioning by tightening the cap 2 is completed.

The cover 3 is elastically supported with respect to the container body 1, and the container body 1 is slid inside the cover 3 when the cap 2 is tightened. Can be positioned. In this case, the pressing force applied when the tip of the cap 2 comes into contact with the inclined surface 3a is also reduced.

By elastically supporting the cover 3 on the container body 1, it is possible to smoothly perform the positioning by tightening without actively elastically deforming the side wall portion including the tip of the cap 2, The container provided with the cap 2 can be applied not only to a container made of a synthetic resin but also to a container made of a metal material.

When positioning the cap 2 by tightening, the elastic repulsion member 5 is used to stabilize the tightening force.
It is important that the elastic tongue piece 5a has an elastic allowance that can be deformed even after the cap 2 is positioned.

The cap 2 can be removed by rotating the cap 2 in a direction opposite to the tightening, and the tip of the cap 2 climbs over the step 4 (with a click).
Thus, the tightened state (engaged state) of the cap 2 with respect to the container is released.

Although the present invention has been described with reference to a container having an irregular planar shape, the present invention may be applied to a container having a circular planar shape (cylindrical container) if necessary. The container body 1 is provided with a detent for determining the position with respect to the cover 3. The mouth 1 of the container body 1
As shown in FIG. 2 above, a virgin-type sealing sheet 7 (heat seal or the like) may be arranged on the top surface of a in order to maintain the quality of the contents before opening the container.

[0019]

According to the present invention, it is possible to stabilize the force to be applied when the cap is tightened.
Furthermore, it can be removed.
