Description

  The present invention relates to a container capable of forming a desired spout on a part of a lid, and particularly to a container with a lid suitable for housing an adhesive for fixing a flooring.

Various flooring materials such as floor tiles such as vinyl chloride tiles and synthetic rubber tiles, floor sheets such as vinyl chloride sheets and foam sheets, floor carpets such as tile carpets, etc. Laid.
And when laying a flooring or a baseboard on the ground, an adhesive such as rubber, emulsion or solvent is used.

  Such an adhesive is conventionally stored in a metal sheet container or a synthetic resin container. For example, as a metal thin plate container, a spout opening is formed in the upper surface corner of a rectangular parallelepiped metal container main body, and a top of the canister type in which a metal lid is fitted to the spout, A pail can type in which a disk-shaped metal lid is fitted to an opening of an open columnar metal container body is used. Further, as shown in FIG. 9, the synthetic resin container is a container in which a lid 102 made of a soft synthetic resin is fitted into the opening 101 of a rectangular-shaped synthetic resin container body 100 having an upper surface opening type. It is used. This type of container is disclosed on pages 364 to 367 of the Toli general catalog “TOLI flooring catalog 2003.10-2004.10.”.

However, since the adhesive remains on the inner surface of the metal sheet container, there is a problem that it cannot be recycled after use and must be discarded as industrial waste. Further, the metal thin plate containers have a problem that it is difficult to stack and store and transport them.
On the other hand, the synthetic resin container can be disposed of by incineration after use, or by molding the container body and the lid so that the lower surface of the container body engages the upper surface of the lid, It can be stored and transported easily and reliably.

  However, when the adhesive is taken out from the synthetic resin container, the entire lid 102 is removed from the container body 100 as shown in FIG. 9B, so that the adhesive is more than necessary from the opening 101 of the container body 100. There may be a lot of flowing out. Moreover, after taking out the adhesive, the lid 102 must be re-fitted to the container main body 100, and there is a problem that the handling is bad.

  This invention makes it a subject to provide the container with a lid | cover which can open and close a part of cover body and can take out a suitable amount of stored articles.

  Accordingly, a first means of the present invention is a container having a top-opening container body capable of storing a storage object, and a synthetic resin lid that closes the top opening of the container body, The body is provided around the top plate portion, the top plate peripheral portion provided around the top plate portion and in contact with the upper end portion of the opening peripheral edge of the container body, and downward from the top plate peripheral portion along the outer surface of the opening peripheral edge of the container main body. A peripheral outer surface portion that extends and a peripheral inner surface portion that extends downward from the top plate peripheral portion along the inner surface of the opening peripheral edge of the container body, and the top plate portion is formed with a substantially linear hinge portion. A top plate thin portion extending at a predetermined angle with respect to the hinge portion is formed from both ends of the hinge portion to the peripheral outer surface portion, and the peripheral inner surface portion at the intersection of the top plate thin portions is interrupted or thinned. A lidded container is provided.

The container with a lid is provided with a hinge portion on the top plate portion of the lid body, and the top plate thin portion formed by thinly forming the top plate portion and the peripheral outer surface portion from both ends of the hinge portion to the peripheral outer surface portion. And the peripheral inner surface at the portion of the peripheral inner surface that intersects the top thin portion is interrupted or formed in a thin shape, so that the peripheral outer surface along the top thin portion By cutting up to the end of the hinge portion of the top plate portion, a part of the top plate portion surrounded by the thin top plate portion can be bent upward via the hinge portion. Since the container main body partially opens at the bent portion, the stored item can be taken out using the partial opening as a spout. Therefore, when taking out the stored item, it is not necessary to remove the entire lid, and the spout can be resealed by returning the bent portion to its original position.
In addition, since the top plate thin portion is formed at a predetermined angle with respect to the hinge portion, the bent portion can be formed as desired by appropriately designing the forming angle of the top plate thin portion and the formation length and position of the hinge portion. It can be in shape and size. Therefore, it is possible to form a spout that can take out an appropriate amount of stored items.

  Furthermore, in a preferred aspect of the present invention, two upper and lower projections are provided in the circumferential direction on the outer peripheral surface of the opening of the container body, and the peripheral outer surface portion of the lid is hooked on the lower projection. In addition, an outer surface thin portion that intersects the top plate thin portion is formed in a circumferential direction in a region corresponding to between the upper and lower protrusions of the peripheral outer surface portion, and the peripheral outer surface on the lower side than the outer thin portion Provided is the above-mentioned container with a lid, which is configured so that the portion can be cut off.

Since the container with a lid is provided with two upper and lower projections on the container body, and the outer peripheral edge of the lid body is hooked on the lower projection, the lid body can be securely attached to the container body. it can. Furthermore, the outer peripheral thin portion that intersects the top thin portion is formed on the outer peripheral peripheral portion, and the outer peripheral peripheral portion on the lower side of the outer thin portion is configured to be cut off, so that the lower peripheral outer portion is cut off. Thus, the latch of the lid body on the container body can be released. Then, as described above, by cutting from the peripheral outer surface part to the end of the hinge part of the top plate part along the top plate thin part, a part of the top plate part surrounded by the top plate thin part, It can be bent upward via the hinge part.
In addition, since the outer thin portion is formed in a region corresponding to between the upper and lower protrusions of the peripheral outer surface portion, the inner surface of the peripheral outer surface portion can be cut out even if the peripheral outer surface portion below the outer thin portion is cut off. Closely contacts the surface of the upper protrusion. Therefore, when the bent portion is returned to its original position and resealed, the inner surface of the peripheral outer surface portion comes into close contact with the container body, so that the sealing performance at this portion is not impaired.

  Since the container with a lid of the present invention can open and close a part of the lid, the stored item can be taken out without removing the entire lid from the container body. Moreover, the spout which can take out a suitable quantity can be formed by designing the formation angle of a top-plate thin part, etc. suitably.

The present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In FIG. 1 to FIG. 5, reference numeral 1 denotes a top-opening container body 2 that can store storage items such as adhesives for flooring, and a lid body 3 fitted to the opening peripheral edge 21 of the container body 2. The container which has these.
The container body 2 is made of a synthetic resin molded body and is formed in a rectangular parallelepiped shape having an opening peripheral edge 21 that is opened in a substantially square shape when viewed from above. As the synthetic resin, known general-purpose resins such as polyesters such as polyvinyl chloride and polyethylene terephthalate, polyolefins such as polyethylene and polypropylene, and polystyrene can be used. Although the magnitude | size of the container main body 2 is not specifically limited, For example, when accommodating the adhesive agent for flooring, it forms in the magnitude | size of a capacity | capacitance about 3-18 liters.
Two upper and lower protrusions 22 and 23 are provided around the outer surface of the opening peripheral edge 21 of the container body.
Further, the bottom peripheral wall surface 24 of the container body 2 is formed in a shape that can be fitted into a stacking recess 36 formed on the upper surface of the lid 3. Therefore, a plurality of containers 1 with lids can be stacked by fitting the bottom peripheral wall surface 24 of the upper container body 2 into the stacking recess 36 of the lower lid 3.

The lid 3 is formed of a synthetic resin molded body, and includes a top plate portion 31 that covers the upper surface opening 25 of the container body 2, and an upper end portion of the opening periphery 21 of the container body 2 that is provided around the top plate portion 31. A top plate peripheral portion 32 that contacts 21a, a peripheral outer surface portion 33 that extends downward from the outer end of the peripheral portion 32 and contacts the outer surface of the opening peripheral edge 21 of the container body 2, and a lower portion from the middle portion of the top plate peripheral portion 32 And a peripheral inner surface portion 34 that contacts the inner surface of the opening peripheral edge 21 of the container body 2.
Specifically, the top plate portion 31 is formed in a flat plate shape that is substantially the same shape (substantially square shape in top view) with the upper surface opening 25 of the container body 2, and a substantially central portion thereof is shown in FIG. In addition, an accommodation recess 38 for accommodating the putty tool 10 for spreading the adhesive is formed. A standing wall 35 that rises upward is formed around the top plate portion 31, and a stacking recess 36 is formed by a range surrounded by the standing wall 35 and the top surface of the top plate portion 31.

A top plate peripheral portion 32 is integrally formed from the upper end of the upright wall 35 toward the outside. The top plate peripheral portion 32 contacts the upper end portion 21 a of the opening peripheral edge 21 of the container main body 2 when the lid 3 is fitted to the container main body 2. The peripheral outer surface portion 33 extends downward from the outer end of the top plate peripheral portion 32, contacts the surface of the protrusions 22, 23, and extends to cover the protrusion 23 below the container body 2. . A latching portion 37 that can be latched to the lower projection 23 is formed at the lower end of the peripheral outer surface portion 33. The hooking portion 37 has a horizontal portion 37a that extends horizontally inward and is hooked by the protrusion 23, and a cross section having an inclined surface 37b that extends downwardly from the inner end of the horizontal surface 37a. It is formed in a substantially inverted triangular shape. Therefore, by pushing the lid 3 from above the container body 2, the horizontal surface 37 a of the latching portion 37 is latched on the projection 23, so that the lid 3 cannot be easily removed from the container body 2. Is done.
The peripheral inner surface portion 34 extends downward from the top plate peripheral portion 32 at a position spaced apart from the standing wall 35 and is in contact with the inner surface of the opening peripheral edge 21.
The peripheral inner surface portion 34, the top plate peripheral portion 32, and the peripheral outer surface portion 33 form an inverted U-shaped fitting portion that fits the opening peripheral edge 21 of the container body 2 over the entire periphery of the top plate portion 31. Has been.

Next, a substantially linear hinge portion 4 is formed on the top plate portion 31. Further, the top plate thin portion 5 is formed from both end portions 4 a, 4 a of the hinge portion 4 to the middle portion of the peripheral outer surface portion 33. As shown in FIG. 5B, the peripheral inner surface 34 at the intersecting portion of the top plate thin portion 5 is interrupted (cut).
Specifically, the hinge portion 4 is formed in a substantially straight line shape near the corner of the top plate portion 31 and in a top view substantially parallel to the diagonal line of the top plate portion 31. Both ends of the hinge part 4 (not reaching the top plate peripheral part 32) are formed at positions spaced from the top peripheral part 32 inward by a predetermined length. The means for forming the hinge part 4 is not particularly limited as long as it can be easily bent via the hinge part 4, and as shown in FIG. 3A, the back surface (and / or the front surface) of the top plate part 31. In addition to means for forming a groove part (for example, a thin-walled part such as a substantially V-shaped notch in cross section), for example, a means for forming an arcuate curved part as shown in FIG.

  The top plate thin portion 5 extends in a direction substantially orthogonal to the standing wall 35 starting from both ends 4a, 4a of the hinge portion 4, and passes from the standing wall 35 through the top plate peripheral portion 32 to the peripheral outer surface portion 33. The top surface is substantially linear when viewed from above. The means for forming the top plate thin portion 5 is not particularly limited as long as it can be easily broken at that portion. For example, as shown in FIG. 3 (c), the top plate portion 31 has a surface (and / or a back surface). And a means for forming a groove such as a notch having a substantially V shape in cross section in a linear shape. As shown in FIG. 5B, the peripheral inner surface 34 at the portion where the top thin portion 5 intersects is interrupted (cut).

Furthermore, the outer peripheral thin portion 6 is formed in the circumferential direction on the peripheral outer surface portion 33 so as to intersect the top plate thin portion 5 formed on the peripheral outer surface portion 33. The outer thin portion 6 is provided in a corresponding area between the upper and lower protrusions 22 and 23 of the container body 2 in the peripheral outer surface portion 33, and as shown in FIG. 4, a part of the outer thin portion 6 is provided. Further, the outer end portions of the two thin top plate portions 5 cross each other. Similarly to the above, the means for forming the thin outer surface portion 6 is not particularly limited as long as it can be easily broken at that portion. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, the front surface (and / or the back surface) of the peripheral outer surface portion 33 is used. In addition, there is a means for linearly forming a groove portion such as a notch having a substantially V shape in cross section.
The peripheral outer surface portion 33 is formed with notches 7 that are continuous with both end portions of the outer thin portion 6.

In the container 1 with the lid, the engaging portion 37 of the lid 3 is hooked on the projection 23 below the container body 2 by pushing the fitting portion of the elastic lid 3 into the opening peripheral edge 21 of the container body 2. Stopped. Thus, the substantially inverted U-shaped fitting portion (the peripheral inner surface portion 34, the top plate peripheral portion 32 and the peripheral outer surface portion 33) of the lid 3 is in close contact with the opening peripheral edge 21 of the container body 2. The upper surface opening 25 of the container body 2 is sealed.
As shown in FIG. 6, for the lidded container 1, as shown in FIG. 6, the lower side (outer surface portion lower piece 33 a) of the outer peripheral thin portion 6 is removed from the peripheral outer surface portion 33. That is, the notch portion 7 is used as an opening start point, the end portion of the outer surface lower piece 33a is picked by hand, and the outer surface lower piece 33a is cut off by being cut along the outer thin portion 6 by pulling it outward.
Next, the peripheral lower surface portion 33, the top plate peripheral portion 32, the standing wall 35, and the top plate portion are formed along the two top plate thin portions 5 by pulling the cut lower end portion of the cut outer peripheral surface portion 33 upward. 31 is cut, and the lower end portion of the peripheral outer surface portion 33 to both end portions 4a of the hinge portion 4 are cut off.
In addition, when cutting along the outer surface thin part 6 and the top plate thin part 5, in order to cut easily, you may cut with an auxiliary cutter along the outer surface thin part 6 and the top plate thin part 5.

  And since the peripheral inner surface part 34 located on the top-plate thin part 5 is interrupted, the area | region enclosed by the two top-plate thin parts 5 is the opening-and-closing lid | cover 8 which can be opened and closed via the hinge part 4. Become. By opening the open / close lid 8, a spout 25a is secured in a part of the upper surface opening 25, and a stored item can be taken out from the spout 25a. On the other hand, when the open / close lid 8 is closed, the open / close lid 8 is fitted to the opening peripheral edge 21 of the container body 2, so that the sealing performance of the container is maintained. That is, the inner surface of the peripheral outer surface portion 33 of the opening / closing lid 8 is in close contact with the surface of the protrusion 22 above the container body 2, so that the space between the inner surface of the peripheral outer surface portion 33 and the outer surface of the opening peripheral edge 21 of the container body 2. No gap is formed in the container, and the sealing performance of the container is maintained.

According to the lidded container 1 of the present invention, the opening / closing lid 8 is formed on a part of the lid body 1 without removing the entire lid body 3 from the container body 2, and the stored item can be taken out from the spout 25a. it can.
Moreover, the magnitude | size and shape of the spout 25a can be arbitrarily adjusted by designing the shape and formation position of the hinge part 4 or the top-plate thin part 5 suitably. For example, as shown in FIG. 7A, the elongated spout 25a can be formed by shortening the formation width of the hinge portion 4 and reducing the formation angle of the top plate thin portion 5 with respect to the hinge portion 4. it can. Moreover, as shown in the same figure (b), the wide spout 25a can also be formed by enlarging the formation angle of the top-plate thin part 5 with respect to the hinge part 4. FIG.
In this way, by appropriately designing the size and shape of the spout 25a, a suitable spout 25a can be formed according to the stored items. For example, when an adhesive having a high viscosity is stored as a stored item, the adhesive can be easily poured out by forming a relatively long spout 25a.
In addition, when the hinge part 4 is formed near one corner part of the top plate part 31 as described above, since the spout 25a is formed at one corner part of the container body 2, it is preferable because the stored item can be easily poured out from the one corner part. However, the hinge portion 4 is not limited to being formed near one corner portion, and can be formed near one side of the top plate portion 31 as shown in FIG. 7C, for example.

Next, the modification of the said embodiment is shown.
In the above embodiment, the peripheral inner surface portion 34 located on the top plate thin portion 5 is interrupted. For example, as shown in FIG. 8A, the peripheral inner surface portion 34 located on the top plate thin portion 5. May be formed thin. Even when the peripheral inner surface portion 34 is formed in a thin portion, when the peripheral outer surface portion 33 is pulled upward to be cut along the top plate thin portion 5, the peripheral inner surface portion 34 and the top plate thin portion 5 together. Since the thin portion is cut, the opening / closing lid 8 can be formed.

Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the latching | locking part 37 which can be latched by the latching | locking part 23 of the downward direction of the container main body 2 is formed in the peripheral outer surface part 33 of the cover body 3, FIG. 2), a second hooking portion 39 that can be hooked on the hooking portion 22 above the container body 2 is formed at the outer peripheral thin portion 6 of the outer peripheral edge 33 of the lid body 3. May be. Thus, by providing the 2nd latching part 39, when closing the opening-and-closing lid 8 and resealing the spout 25a, the 2nd latching part 39 can be latched by the upper projection part 22. FIG. Therefore, the opening / closing lid 8 can be securely fitted to the container body 2 at the time of resealing.
The shape of the container body 2 and the lid is not limited to a substantially square shape when viewed from the top, but can be formed in a rectangular shape or the like, and the contents of the container 1 with a lid are limited to an adhesive for flooring. I don't mean.
