Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 08-280519

  Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a liquid container that can be placed with a simple structure and reliably prevented from falling down with excellent stability, and a covering cover member thereof.

  The present invention is a liquid container including a container body capable of storing liquid, and includes a support member that supports the container body in a posture inclined with respect to the placement surface on a side wall portion of the container body. The supporting member is configured to be pivotally attached to the container body by a pivoting portion so that the supporting member can be changed to a projecting support attitude for projectingly supporting the container body or an opposing attitude facing the side wall portion. It is a container.

  If the said supporting member is a member which can support the said container main body of the attitude | position inclined with respect to the mounting surface in tension, it will not specifically limit about the material and form. For example, the material of the support member can be formed of resin, metal, wood, or the like, and the form thereof can be formed, for example, in the form of a plate or a bar wire such as a wire.

  In the liquid container of the present invention, the support member can be in a tension support posture, and the support body can be stretched and supported in a posture in which the container body is inclined with respect to the placement surface.

  By placing the container main body in an inclined posture in this way, the center of gravity can be kept lower than in a standing posture. Further, by placing the container body in an inclined posture, the support member is firmly supported and supported between the container body and the placement surface by using the force applied to the support member by the load leaning from the container body. be able to.

  Furthermore, when the liquid container is placed on the placement surface, the liquid container can be placed firmly in a state where both the support member and the container body are in contact with the placement surface.

  Therefore, even when the liquid container is placed on an uneven or inclined placement surface, or when the liquid container is placed on a soft and unstable placement surface, the liquid container should be stably placed without falling. Furthermore, even when used outdoors under windy conditions or when an external force is applied due to unexpected contact with a person or the like, it can be stably placed without falling.

  In addition, as described above, by placing the container main body in an inclined form, the support member needs to be formed in a protruding form over the entire circumferential direction of the container main body in order to support the container main body. Absent. That is, the liquid container can be stably placed by supporting only the leaning side when the container body is tilted, and thus a structure that can stably place the container body is realized with a simple configuration. Can do.

  In addition, when the liquid container is displayed on the display stand at the time of sale, the container body can be placed in an inclined state. Thereby, it becomes easy to attract a customer's eyes, and the effect that the product appeal can be improved remarkably as compared with other normal liquid containers placed upright.

  As an aspect of the present invention, the container body can be provided with a support posture holding means for keeping the support member in the stretch support posture.

  For example, even if a pressing force is applied from the container main body side, the support member can be securely held in the state of the support posture without unexpectedly pivoting the support member even when a force is applied from the container body side. For this reason, a container main body can be kept in the still more stable mounting state.

  Furthermore, since the support member can be securely held in the projecting support posture by the support posture holding means, even when the container body is placed on the placement surface, it is only necessary to open the support member with respect to the side wall portion. The posture can be changed smoothly and accurately from the facing posture to the tension support posture without being conscious.

  Further, as an aspect of the present invention, the support posture holding means is constituted by a string-like holding means connected to the side wall portion and the support member, and the string-like holding means is connected to the side wall portion in a projecting support posture. It can be formed with a length stretched between the support members.

  The string-like holding means includes not only a string-like member but also a band-like or chain-like member, and further includes an elastic member such as a rubber string. Furthermore, the belt-like member includes a tape-like thin member in addition to the belt and the band.

  With the above configuration, when the support member is in the stretch support posture, the support member is held in the stretch support posture because the string-like holding means is stretched between the side wall portion and the support member. Can do.

  On the other hand, when the support member is in the opposite posture, the string-like holding means is in a slack state according to the distance between the side wall portion and the support member because it is string-like. For this reason, the attitude | position change of a support member can be performed smoothly, without a string-shaped holding | maintenance means becoming obstructive.

  As an aspect of the present invention, the support posture holding means is constituted by a rod-like holding means having a rod-like portion connected to the side wall portion and the support member, and is slidable in conjunction with the pivot of the support member. A slide allowable holding portion for holding the rod-like holding means can be provided on one side of the side wall portion and the support member.

  The rod-shaped holding means can be formed of a material such as synthetic resin, metal, or wood.

  Since the rod-shaped holding means operates in conjunction with the pivot of the support member, it does not get in the way between the side wall portion and the support member. Therefore, the posture of the support member can be changed smoothly between the facing posture and the tension support posture.

  Further, the rod-like holding means can be held by the slide allowable holding portion, and the support member can be prevented from opening excessively with respect to the side wall portion by the rod-like portion. Can be held firmly.

  As an aspect of the present invention, the container body is provided with urging means for urging the support member in the protruding direction with respect to the container body, and the support member can be released against the urging force of the urging means. The container main body may be provided with an opposing posture holding means for holding the container in the opposing posture.

  When the supporting member is set to the facing posture by the facing posture holding means, the supporting member can be firmly held in the facing posture without being inadvertently rattled or opened with respect to the container body. it can.

  Furthermore, if the holding by the facing posture holding means is released, the supporting member can be spontaneously changed to the above-mentioned tension supporting posture using the urging force of the urging means. For this reason, it is not necessary to manually open the support member to the side wall portion one by one, and the posture can be easily changed from the facing posture to the tension support posture.

  As an aspect of the present invention, the facing posture holding means is formed by an engaging portion and an engaged portion that are detachably engaged with each other by bending deformation, and the engaging portion is formed by the side wall portion and the support member. It can comprise on either one side, and the said to-be-engaged part can be comprised on the other side different from said one side.

  The opposing posture holding means is formed of the engaging portion and the engaged portion, and the engaging portion and the engaged portion are detachably engaged with each other, thereby utilizing a restoring force due to bending deformation. Thus, the support member can be securely held in the facing posture.

  Furthermore, since the said opposing attitude | position holding means has comprised the said engaging part and the said to-be-engaged part so that attachment or detachment is possible using the restoring force by bending deformation, it can comprise with a simple structure.

  As an aspect of the present invention, angle adjusting means capable of adjusting the maximum rotation angle of the support member relative to the side wall portion can be provided on at least one side of the side wall portion and the support member.

  The angle adjusting means can adjust the maximum rotation angle of the support member with respect to the side wall portion. For this reason, the liquid container sets the maximum rotation angle of the support member with respect to the side wall portion to an appropriate angle according to the form of the mounting surface, the space where the liquid container can be mounted, the volume of the liquid stored in the container body, and the like. And can be placed stably.

  When the support member 27 is set to face the base member 26, the support member 27 can be kept in a state of being in close contact with the base member 26.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 7 (x), when the support member 27 is in an opposing posture, it is between the support member 27 and the base member 26, particularly below the support side holding portion 64. The gap portion A can be configured.

  For this reason, when the support member 27 is changed to the facing posture, the connecting band 32 is bent by the weight of the connecting band 32 and is slackened by hanging downward. A simple connecting band 32 can be accommodated in the gap A.

  Therefore, when the support member 27 is in the opposed posture, the support member 27 is not lifted by the interference of the coupling band 32 with respect to the base member 26, and the support member 27 is opposed from the projecting support posture. It is possible to change smoothly to the posture.

  Further, when the support member 27 is changed to the facing posture, the engagement projecting piece 72 is “clicked” on the engaged opening edge 52a by bending deformation only by lightly pressing the support member 27 toward the base member 26 side. Can be engaged.

  Therefore, the support member 27 does not open unexpectedly with respect to the base member 26, and the support member 27 can be kept firmly in the facing posture.

A procedure in which the user of the beverage container 11 changes the support member 27 from the facing posture to the projecting support posture and places the beverage container 11 on the placement surface in a tilted state will be described.
First, as shown in FIG. 7 (y2), the user presses the disengagement pressing portion 53. As a result, the engaged opening edge 52a is bent and deformed, and the engagement with the engagement protrusion 72 is released.
Then, as shown in FIG. 6B, the support member 27 rotates in a direction away from the base member 26 by the urging force of the torsion spring 33 provided in the pivot portion 19.

  Eventually, the connection band 32 is stretched (extended) between the support member 27 and the base member 26, and the rotation of the support member 27 is regulated by the stretched connection band 32.

  At this time, the support member 27 is in a tension support posture that is opened by, for example, about 70 degrees with respect to the base member 26.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 6 (c), the user places the support portion 73 of the support member 27 and the bottom portion 13 a of the covering cover member 13 so as to contact the placement surface.

  At this time, the beverage container 11 has a posture in which the beverage container body 12 is inclined with respect to the placement surface, and the inclined beverage container body 12 is supported between the beverage container body 12 and the placement surface by the support member 27. It can be placed in a state where it is supported in tension.

  Therefore, the beverage container 11 can be placed with the center of gravity of the beverage container body 12 being lower than when placed in a standing state as usual. Further, the beverage container 11 is supported by a total of three points of support of the two support portions 73 and 73 provided on both sides in the width direction of the support member 27 and the bottom portion 13a of the covering cover member 13 (beverage container body 12). Can do.

  Therefore, even if the mounting surface has unevenness or inclination, the play occurs, the mounting surface is soft and unstable, or even when an external force is applied from any direction, it is extremely stable. It can be placed while maintaining a feeling.

  Furthermore, the beverage container 11 can be easily released with one touch of the state of the support member 27 in the facing posture only by the user pressing the disengagement pressing portion 53 and supported by the urging force of the torsion spring 33. The member 27 can be rotated spontaneously away from the base member 26.

Furthermore, the beverage container 11 has the connecting band 32 stretched when the support member 27 is in a tension support posture in which the beverage container body 12 can be properly stretched, so that the support member 27 rotates. Can be regulated.
Therefore, it is possible to easily and accurately change the posture of the support member 27 from the facing posture to the stretch support posture.

  The beverage container 11 can also be used as a normal beverage container that does not include the support structure 10 by removing the covering cover member 13 from the beverage container body 12. The support structure 10 may be directly attached to the side wall portion 16 of the beverage container main body 12 by, for example, an adhesive or screwing. However, like the beverage container 11 of the present embodiment, the covering cover member 13 is attached to the support structure 10. If the support structure 10 is attached to the beverage container main body 12 via the support container 10, the support structure 10 can be easily separated from the beverage container main body 12, and a trace of the support structure 10 removed remains on the side wall portion 16. Therefore, the appearance can be kept good.

  Furthermore, since only the covering cover member 13 provided with the support structure 10 can be handled alone, washing with water can be easily performed, and other existing beverage containers can be covered with the covering cover member 13.
