[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Of the above, the former is provided with a bag portion, which complicates the manufacturing process. In addition, since the annular portion is simply fitted to the lower part of the neck of the container, there is a possibility that the spoon may be accidentally pulled out when removing the spoon from the bag. . On the other hand, there is a possibility that the latter may inadvertently fall out of the cup. The cup usually has an inverted truncated frustum shape and thus easily falls off, and even a cylindrical cup having the same diameter in the upper and lower directions may similarly fall off. Furthermore, in the case of a narrow upper cup, such as a frusto-conical shape, an inadvertent upward escape occurs.
[0006]
The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and can be attached to a container to hold a spoon, an applicator, and other accessories of the container together with the container. Another object of the present invention is to provide an accessory holder for a container, which does not have a risk of being inadvertently detached by an attachment / detachment operation of the accessory, has a simple structure, and can be easily attached to the container.
[0007]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the accessory holder of the present invention has an annular plate shape fitted and mounted on the outer periphery of the container 2 and has a through-hole for inserting and locking the accessory 8 on the side of the container. It is provided as an accessory holder for a container, comprising a hole 6 and a cut groove 9 extending from the through hole 6 to the inner peripheral edge.
[0008]
The accessory holder according to the second aspect of the present invention is an accessory holder made of a synthetic resin, which is attached to the container 2 with the mouth and neck 5 upright from the trunk 3 via the shoulder 4. The lower surface of the thread 12 protruding from the outer periphery of the part 5 is engaged with the outer periphery of the inner peripheral edge to fit over the outer periphery of the mouth and neck part 5, and the through hole 6 for inserting and locking the accessory 8 on the side of the container 2. It is provided as an accessory holder for a container, which is provided with a cut groove 9 extending from the through hole 6 to the inner peripheral edge.
[0009]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
[0010]
As shown in the drawings, the accessory holder A of the present invention is used by being attached to a container 2. Various configurations can be used for the container 2 to be mounted, and the configuration of each unit described later is selected in accordance with the configuration. In the illustrated example, the container 2 employs a so-called bottle type in which the mouth and neck 5 is erected from the cylindrical body 3 via the shoulder 4, but the present invention is not limited to this and will be described below. A so-called wide-mouthed bottle type in which the mouth and neck have the same diameter as the body, or a cup-shaped type having a bottomed cylindrical shape with an open upper end can be used.
[0011]
The accessory holder A is made of a material that can be elastically deformed and restored, and more specifically, made of a synthetic resin or the like having those properties. Ring-shaped, that is, annular and plate-shaped. The annular shape of the accessory holder A may be appropriately selected according to the shape, size, and the like of the container 2 to be mounted. Even if the accessory holder A has a circular shape as in the embodiment of FIG. 1, an elliptical shape as shown in FIG. However, the shape may be a polygonal shape such as a hexagonal shape as shown in FIG.
[0012]
The attachment site of the accessory holder A to the container 2 is not limited to the outer periphery of the mouth and neck 5 as in the illustrated example, but may be the outer periphery of the trunk. In the case of mounting on the outer periphery of the mouth and neck, it is preferable to be configured so as to ride over a convex portion formed by a thread or a ridge provided on the outer periphery of the mouth and neck and to ride over the inner peripheral edge on the lower surface thereof to engage therewith. When the container is fitted to the outer periphery of the body, it is preferable that the inner peripheral portion is pressed against the outer periphery of the body. It is preferable to use a container having a strip.
[0013]
In addition, a through hole for inserting and locking an accessory is provided on the side of the container. The through hole 6 is for locking the accessory 8 in a state of being inserted as shown in the illustrated example, and the shape thereof is not particularly limited as long as it is appropriately selected according to the form of the accessory to be inserted. Various forms can be adopted as the means for locking the accessory, and as shown in the illustrated example, a part of the outer surface of the insertion portion of the accessory 8 is formed to be larger than the peripheral surface of the through hole 6 to prevent falling off and lock. Alternatively, although not shown, a flange, a ridge, a projection, or the like may be protruded from the outer surface of the accessory so as to be engaged with the upper surface of the holder around the through hole 6.
[0014]
In consideration of the above operation, the through hole 6 is configured to be formed at a position protruding outward from the outer periphery of the container body 3. As a specific example in that case, the outer diameter of the accessory holder A is configured to be larger than the outer diameter of the container body to be attached by a required width, or as shown in the illustrated example, a part of the outer edge is outwardly moved from the container body. It is good to protrude the required width. The number of the through holes 6 is not limited to one, and it is also possible to provide two or more, and it is also possible to configure so that a plurality of accessories 8 are inserted and locked.
[0015]
In the present invention, in order to more easily attach the accessory holder to the container and to prevent the accessory holder from slipping out of the container after the attachment, as shown in the illustrated example, a notch extending from the through hole 6 to the inner peripheral edge. 9 are provided. Due to the presence of the kerf 9, the accessory holder A is easily elastically deformed into a shape over the convex portion such as a thread or a ridge, and particularly, both sides of the kerf 9 are greatly deformed and easily get over the convex portion. Therefore, the attachment of the holder is facilitated. In addition, when the accessory 8 is put in and taken out of the through hole 6 after the attachment, there is no possibility that the accessory 8 is hooked on the through hole 6 and elastic deformation over the screw or the ridge occurs.
[0016]
As the accessory 8, besides an applicator such as a spatula and a brush as shown in FIG. 1, a spoon, a straw and other various things can be used, and can be appropriately selected depending on the type of the container. Further, the type is not limited to one type, and two or more types can be configured.
[0017]
The embodiment shown in FIG. 1 shows an example in which an accessory holder A is fitted and fixed to the lower part of the outer periphery of the mouth and neck 5 of the container 2. A projecting portion 11 protrudes outward from the outer edge of the annular plate portion 10 fitted to the lower part of the outer periphery of the mouth and neck portion 5, and a through hole 6 for inserting and locking accessories is formed in the projecting portion 11. I have. The annular plate portion 10 has an inner peripheral edge portion of the outer periphery of the screw 12 protruding from the outer periphery of the mouth and neck portion 5 and is engaged therewith. Therefore, only the protrusion 11 protrudes from the container body 3. A spatula as an accessory 8 is fitted into the through-hole 6 by inserting its handle from above, and is detachably attached.
[0018]
In use, the accessory holder A for a container configured as described above can be used by pulling out the accessory 8 upward after opening the lid of the container in use. After use, the accessory 8 may be fitted in the through hole 6 again.
[0019]
