Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention is suitable for use in storing foods and the like that lose their freshness and flavor due to moisture, and other leather products such as bags and shoes, precious metal products, and the like. Not only holding it, but also actively dehumidifying the inside of the container and having deodorant and antibacterial effects inside the container, and easy replacement of desiccant etc., and regeneration of silica gel etc. In the case of a possible desiccant, the present invention relates to a container which can be easily regenerated and can be maintained in a dry state.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, to store foodstuffs such as dry foods and confectionery that do not like moisture, put them in a closed container, and for completeness, pack a desiccant such as silica gel or lime into the container. I try to store it inside. Also, various containers have been devised as containers for containing a hygroscopic seasoning such as salt in view of the moisture-proof effect and the convenience of drawing. On the other hand, there are cases in which leather products such as shoes and bags, precious metals, etc. are also stored in a sealed container or the like for anti-mildew measures.

[0003]

However, in the case of a desiccant packed in a bag, it is not easy to determine whether or not it has an effect as a desiccant, and the desiccated moisture is taken out depending on the size and shape of the container. It was difficult and could not be easily reused. Furthermore, when the bagging desiccant is put directly into the container, the effect of the desiccant does not spread to the entire container, and high-humidity air tends to stay under the container. A sufficient drying effect was not obtained depending on the place containing.

Further, in the case of a container for seasoning containing a seasoning such as salt, the desiccant may block the outlet and the usability may be impaired. If stored for a longer period of time, some containers may have an odor, depending on what is stored, and maintaining the drying effect and the convenience of use as well as controlling the air quality in the storage container are important issues. .

[0005]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the dry state continuous container according to the present invention is provided with an opening at an arbitrary position of the lidded container, and the opening contains a desiccant. The desiccant storage case is detachably attached, and a filter having antibacterial and deodorizing functions is installed in the opening (Claim 1).

Further, the bottom of the container with a lid is opened, and a screw portion is formed in this opening, and a desiccant storage case containing a desiccant is detachably screwed into the screw portion of this opening, and the bottom of the container is covered. A filter having antibacterial and deodorizing functions is installed between the opening and the desiccant storage case (Claim 2). Alternatively, the desiccant storage case is transparent or translucent (claim 3).

[0007]

The container is hermetically closed by a lid, and a desiccant storage case storing a desiccant is attached to the opening. Then, the air in the container is circulated with the desiccant storage case through a filter having an antibacterial and deodorizing function, for example, a bamboo charcoal sheet. Therefore, the humidified air in the container is dehumidified by the desiccant, and the air in the container is always kept dry. Further, by passing through a filter having antibacterial and deodorizing functions such as a bamboo charcoal sheet, the air in the container is constantly deodorized and antibacterial, and a good condition is always maintained.

If the desiccant storage case is made transparent or translucent, the color change of silica gel or the like can be visually recognized from the outside, and the moisture absorption of the desiccant can be confirmed. If it is confirmed that the desiccant has absorbed moisture, remove the desiccant storage case from the container and replace the desiccant, or if it is a recyclable material such as silica gel, regenerate it and then dry it again. Put it in the storage case and attach the case to the container. In addition, filters that have antibacterial and deodorizing functions should be replaced regularly to maintain their effectiveness.

[0009]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Next, an embodiment of a dry state continuous container according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings in the case of adding seasonings such as salt. The container 1 includes a cylindrical container body 2 and a lid 3
It is made up of more. An opening 4 is formed on the bottom surface of the container body 2. A screw portion 5 is formed in this opening. A screw portion 6 is also formed on the upper portion of the container body 2. Then, a through hole 7 is provided in a part of the portion where the screw portion 6 is formed.

On the other hand, the lid 3 is formed with a screw portion 8 which is screwed with the screw portion 6 on the upper portion of the container body 2. Further, a through hole 9 is formed in a part of the portion where the screw portion 8 is formed. The position of the through hole 9 is completely coincident with the position of the through hole 7 of the container body 2 at a position where the lid 2 is slightly loosened from the completely closed state of the container body 2, and the position of the cover 2 is completely with respect to the container body 2. In the closed state, the positions of the through holes 9 and 7 should be displaced. With this arrangement, when salt is put in the container, for example, a slight turning of the lid 2 causes the through hole 7 and the through hole 9 to coincide with each other to form a spouting port, so that salt can be spun out from here. When the lid 2 is rotated in the opposite direction and completely closed, the positions of the through holes 7 and 9 are displaced and the inside of the container is sealed.

Reference numeral 10 denotes a desiccant storage case, and a screw portion 11 to be screwed with the screw portion 5 formed at the opening of the bottom surface of the container body 2 is formed at the upper portion. Reference numeral 12 is silica gel contained in the desiccant storage case 10 as a desiccant. The desiccant storage case 10 is attached so that the filter 13 having an antibacterial and deodorizing function is sandwiched between the desiccant storage case 10 and the screw portion 5 of the opening 4 on the bottom surface of the container body 2.

The filter 13 having an antibacterial and deodorizing function used in the present invention may be any one as long as it exhibits such a function. For example, bamboo charcoal has an antibacterial and deodorizing effect. Bamboo charcoal sheet using is available. Bamboo charcoal sheet is applied by directly coating fine particles or fine powder of bamboo charcoal on a non-woven fabric, or by spraying fine particles or fine powder of bamboo charcoal on a base non-woven fabric using a polymer resin as a medium, and needle punching on both sides of the base non-woven fabric. The non-woven fabric for side is attached. A charcoal sheet can be manufactured in the same manner. The method for producing the bamboo charcoal sheet or the charcoal sheet is not limited to the above method. Further, not only bamboo charcoal and charcoal, but also any other material having an antibacterial deodorizing function and processed so that it can be installed as a filter can be used.

The desiccant storage case 10 is made of a transparent or translucent material in order to make it easy to confirm the moisture absorption state of the desiccant.
For example, it is convenient to form it from glass or plastic. The container body 2 and the lid 3 may be transparent or semi-transparent depending on what is stored, but on the contrary, when a container that dislikes light is put therein, it may be made of metal or the like.

Although the above embodiment has been described by taking a seasoning container such as salt as an example, the dry state continuous container of the present invention is not limited to such a seasoning container, and has an appropriate size and shape depending on the items to be stored. Can be For example, it may be small if it is for storing precious metal products,
For items intended to store shoes, bags, etc., the shape and size are suitable for storing these items. Further, the lid may not be of such a screw-in type, but may be of a type of sealing with a packing or a type of simply covering like a tea container. The desiccant storage case is not limited to the screw type as described above, but may be of any type as long as it is detachably attached to the container body.

[0015]

As described above, according to the present invention, an opening is provided at an arbitrary position of a container with a lid, a desiccant storage case containing a desiccant is detachably attached to the opening, and the opening is attached to the opening. Install a filter that has antibacterial and deodorant functions, or open the bottom of the container with a lid and form a screw part in this opening, and store the desiccant in the screw part of this opening. Since it is detachably screwed, a filter having antibacterial and deodorizing functions is installed between the opening on the bottom of the container and the desiccant storage case.
The desiccant storage case can be removed from the container even when the article is stored in the container, and the desiccant such as silica gel can be recycled and reused.

Further, since the desiccant storage case is made transparent or translucent, the moisture absorption state of silica gel or the like contained in the desiccant storage case can be easily confirmed from the outside of the case.
