There are advantages to being In addition, since the particulate matter can be filled from the filling port with the bottom lid open, the engaging means, protrusions, overpass projections, etc. are provided on the side surface of the lid body and the case body inner surface facing it. Since no disturbing protrusions are required in the granular material storage unit, the filling operation can be performed very easily.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  The granular material case 1 of the present invention is made of a synthetic resin and includes a case main body 2 and a lid 3.

  The case body 2 has a cylindrical shape with upper and lower ends having a filling port 5 whose bottom is closed by a bottom lid 4, and the inside is formed as a granular material storage part A. In the illustrated example, the case main body 2 has a narrow front wall portion 2b and a rear wall portion 2c connected to each other between a pair of side wall portions 2a formed with an upper end front corner as an inclined side and an upper end rear corner as a rounded shape. It has a flat rectangular tube shape. Further, an outlet 6 for taking out the granular material communicating with the inside of the storage portion A is formed in the upper front portion of the one side wall portion 2a. The outlet 6 is not limited to being provided in the case body 2, but can be provided in the lid as in the embodiment shown in FIGS.

  The bottom cover 4 has a bottomed cylindrical shape in which a peripheral wall 8 is erected from the peripheral edge of the bottom wall 7, and the upper portion of the peripheral wall 8 is formed in a small-diameter fitting portion 8 a, and the fitting portion 8 a is formed on the inner periphery of the case body 2. It is configured to be mixed at the lower end. Further, an engaging protrusion 9 is provided on the outer surface of the fitting portion 8a and is forcedly fitted into an engagement hole 10 formed below the side wall 2a of the case main body 2 to prevent it from coming out. . Note that the bottom cover may be integrally formed via a hinge.

  The lid 3 is formed integrally with the case body 2, one end is connected to the top opening edge of the case body 2 via a hinge 11, the lid 3 is fitted to the upper end of the case body 2, and the exposed finger hook It can be opened and closed by operating the unit 12. In the illustrated example, the rear edge of the case body 2 is connected to the upper edge of the rear wall 2c of the case body 2 via a hinge 11, and the curved plate extends forward along the upper edge of the side walls 2a of the case body 2. The top plate 13 is provided, the side plate 14 is suspended from the edge on the outlet side, the front plate 15 is suspended from the front edge, and the bottom plate 16 is extended from the lower edge of the side plate 14 and the front plate 15. . Further, a belt-like elastic piece 17 is provided below the lower edge of the front plate 15. Note that the other side plate is not provided because the case body 2 and the lid 3 are integrally formed. Further, a plate-like finger-hanging portion 12 exposed to the outside of the case main body is projected from the upper end portion of the front surface, and both sides thereof are in contact with and locked to the front surface of the inclined side of the both side wall portions 2a. Further, a concave portion 24 is formed at the front end of the bottom wall 7 and serves as a guide wall for the outlet 6 when the lid is opened. The top opening of the case body 2 is closed so that it can be opened and closed.

  In the present invention, the outlet 6 is configured to open in a predetermined rotation state from the closed position of the lid 3. In the illustrated example, the outlet 6 is closed by the side surface of the lid body 3, and more specifically, is closed by an engaging projection 18 projecting from the side surface of the lid body 3. The cover side plate 15 is configured to be detached and pivoted upward to open the outlet 6.

  The engaging protrusion 18 is a dome-shaped protrusion that is substantially the same size as the outlet 6, and is fitted to the outlet 6 in the opened state to maintain the closed state, and the finger-hook portion 12 is pushed up to open the lid. When the cover is opened, it is relatively easy to disengage from the outlet, and when the lid is opened, its edge engages with the upper surface of the case body side wall 2a to maintain the opening state of the outlet more reliably. The engagement protrusion 18 may be variously shaped according to the shape of the outlet as long as it can be detached from the fitting state of the outlet 6, but the peripheral edge is tapered like the dome-shaped protrusion. What is formed is preferable in that the fitting with the outlet can be released relatively easily.

  Further, in the present invention, the engagement means 19 that engages with each other in the opened state of the outlet 6 is provided on the inner surface of the case body 2 and the side surface of the lid 3, and the protrusions that protrude from the inner surface of the case body 2. The engaging means is configured to be engaged when the overpass projection 21 provided on the side surface of the lid 3 gets over 20.

  In the illustrated example, the engaging means 19 is composed of a locking protrusion 22 provided at a predetermined position on the upper edge of the side wall 2a of the case body 2 and an engaging protrusion 23 provided at a predetermined position on the outer surface of the side plate 14 of the lid 3. It is composed. That is, in the closed state, as shown in FIG. 8 (a), the engaging ridge 23 is positioned below the locking ridge 22, and when the lid is opened, the hinge 11 is moved as shown in FIG. 8 (b). The engaging ridge 23 pivots to the center and contacts the lower surface of the locking ridge 22 so that no further opening can be performed. At this time, the outlet 6 is opened. In addition, the front end portion of the elastic piece 17 slides on the inner surface of the front wall portion 2b of the case body 2 and is locked to the upper portion, and the front plate 15 of the lid body is in a state of being detached from the front wall portion 2b. The inside of the granular material storage part A is shut off from the outside.

  In addition, the protrusion 20 is provided at a predetermined position on the upper edge of the case body side wall 2a opposite to the locking protrusion 22, and is provided as a passenger protrusion 21 at a predetermined position on the inner surface of the side plate 14 of the lid 3. Vertical ribs are provided. The vertical rib is positioned in front of the protrusion 20 in the closed state, and when the cover is opened, the vertical rib rotates about the hinge 11 to forcibly get over the protrusion 20 and is positioned behind the protrusion 20. You can get a click when you get over. And since the engagement means 19 is engaged immediately after getting over, the lid 3 is maintained in that state.

  When filling the granular material case 1 of the present embodiment with the granular material, for example, it can be performed with the bottom cover 4 removed. In use, for example, the lid 3 is rotated to open the outlet 6, the case body 2 is tilted to move the granular material to the outlet 6, and then the case is rotated upside down. If it does, a granular material can be taken out. The granular material to be stored is not particularly limited as long as it is granular, and typical examples include tablets such as drugs and confectionery such as candy. Further, various shapes that are limited to a spherical shape can be accommodated.

  10 and 11 show another embodiment, and show an example in which an outlet 6 is provided in the lid 3. In the present embodiment, the shape of the upper end portion of the case body 2 and the configuration of the lid are different from those of the embodiment of FIG. That is, the both side walls 2a of the case body 2 each have two upper corners as inclined sides. Further, the rear wall 2c has an upper edge positioned slightly below the inclined side. The lid 3 is rotatably connected to the upper end edge of the rear wall 2c of the case body 2 via a hinge 11 and extends forward along the upper end edges of both side walls 2a of the case body 2. A top plate 13 is provided, and a front end of a side plate 14 suspended from one side edge of the top plate 13 is recessed sideways to form a dish-like outlet 6 having a lower end surface and one side surface opened.

  Similarly, the engagement means 19, the protrusion 20, and the overpass projection 21 are provided. Other configurations and operations are the same as those of the embodiment of FIG.
