Description

  The present invention relates to a laminated storage container, and more particularly to a laminated storage container in which a blade is provided on an outer wall of a container main body for storing contents, and another container main body stacked on the upper portion is fixed using the blade.

  Generally, the container body of a storage container for storing food is formed of a synthetic resin, heat-resistant glass, heat-resistant ceramic, or the like that is permitted for food storage. Of these, products molded with synthetic resins, in particular, have the advantages of being easy to mass-produce, inexpensive and convenient to handle, and are most widely used. The main body and the lid of such a storage container are provided with a lock device in order to safely store and store food stored in a sealed container and prevent the food from flowing out.

  A plurality of locking projections that protrude outward from the edge of the container body are formed in the container body at predetermined intervals along the peripheral direction. The lid is formed with a lock blade that can be pivoted up and down around the hinge. The lock blade is formed with a coupling hole into which the locking projection of the container body is inserted and coupled. In such a container, if each lock blade of the lid is rotated and pressurized while the cover is covered with the opening of the container body, the locking projection is elastically inserted into the coupling hole of the lock blade. Combine while being. However, due to the relationship that the coupling between the coupling hole of the lock blade and the locking projection of the container body is not perfect, such a conventional storage container has been stored with a reduced binding force between the stacked containers. There were many cases where the contents were discharged to the outside.

  In addition to this, the conventional storage container has a problem that it is extremely difficult to form in multiple stages. Recently, as the number of meals at home has decreased and the number of households has decreased, when preparing and cooking food in the home, it is more difficult to prepare a variety of foods than to cook many types of food. I often cook little by little. Accordingly, the types of food to be stored increase, and in such a case, a plurality of storage containers are required rather than the size of the storage container itself. However, when a large number of storage containers are used, a large amount of space in the refrigerator is occupied. Accordingly, there is a strong demand for multistage containers that can be stacked with a large number of container bodies using only one lid. However, in order to improve the sealing force of the main body of each container when it is molded so that it can be laminated in multiple stages, the packing must be mounted not only on the lid but also on the main body of each container. In addition, a structure capable of mounting the packing on the lid and each container body must be provided. However, the conventional storage container has not yet been provided with such a structure.

  The present invention has been devised in order to solve the above-described problems, and a recessed groove portion recessed into a predetermined depth on a container body via a protruding portion formed on an outer wall. And a hill portion that partially closes the recessed groove portion, and the blade is provided with a fixed protruding piece that is locked by the hill portion after being inserted into the recessed groove portion and cannot be easily escaped. An object is to provide a stacked storage container.

  Another object of the present invention is to provide a stacked storage container in which a packing is provided in the recessed groove formed by the protruding portion and the outer wall of the container main body, in consideration of aesthetic concerns.

  The present invention has been devised in order to achieve the above-described object, and is a container that can be stacked, has a bowl shape, and forms a protruding portion that is bent downward on the outer wall periphery. The outer wall on the protruding portion is formed with a first recessed groove recessed at a predetermined depth, and a hill portion is formed at the entrance of the first recessed groove. A container body, and a support body that is hinge-coupled to a pair of hinges formed at a predetermined distance on one side of the outer wall of the container body, and has a predetermined angle with respect to the support body. A blade part sandwiched and coupled to the first recessed groove through a fixed projecting piece projecting at one end of the support body, the projecting part is formed on the outer wall periphery, and the hill part is formed on the upper surface of the projecting part And a lid that covers the upper surface of the container body located at the uppermost stage. To provide the type storage container.

  1 and 2, the stacked storage container 100 according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention includes a container body 110, a blade part 130, and a lid 150.

  The container main body 110 has a normal bowl shape, and is formed with a structure in which a wall portion 112 is integrally provided at the frame end of the upper surface of the bottom 111. As a result, the container body 110 forms a space of a predetermined size so that the contents can be stored therein. Edges are curved.

  The container body 110 has a pair of hinge portions 113 placed at the upper ends outside the side surfaces, and is hinged to the blade portions 130 via the pair of hinge portions 113. Further, the container body 110 includes an attachment fixing portion 114 so that the hinge portion 113 is not easily damaged by a slight external impact. The attachment fixing portion 114 is formed to protrude with a certain thickness so that the hinge portions 113 formed on one side surface and the other side surface can be interconnected and fixed.

  The container main body 110 forms a protruding portion 115 that is bent downward on the periphery of the outer lower end. Referring to FIGS. 3 and 4, the container body 110 is formed with a first recessed groove 116 in the form of a right triangle on the upper portion of the protrusion 115, through which another container body 110 is formed. It is sandwiched and combined with the blade part 130 attached to the. FIG. 3 shows a state before the blade portion 130 is sandwiched and joined by the first recessed groove 116, and FIG. 4 shows a state after the blade portion 130 is sandwiched and joined by the first recessed groove 116. is there.

  The container main body 110 has a hill portion 117 that protrudes from the upper surface of the projecting portion 115 at the entrance of the first recessed groove 116 and closes a part of the first recessed groove 116. The coupling force is further improved by being sandwiched between the portions 130. In this case, the hill portion 117 is preferably formed in a triangular prism shape or a semi-cylindrical shape so that the blade portion 130 can easily slide into the first recessed groove 116. On the other hand, the form of the first recessed groove 116 is not limited to a right triangle, and may be a normal triangle or semicircle. Further, it is obvious that the size of the first recessed groove 116 is formed so as to coincide with the length of the blade portion 130 that is sandwiched and joined.

  The container main body 110 forms a second recessed groove 118 having a structure recessed above the first recessed groove 116 by the protrusion 115. Reference is now made to FIG. In the embodiment of the present invention, the second recessed groove 118 provides a connection with the upper stage of the other container body, and together with the first recessed groove 116, the binding force between the container bodies is made more firm. The second recessed groove 118 may include a packing 119 formed to fill the inside.

  In the embodiment of the present invention, the packing 119 not only enhances the confidentiality between the container bodies but also performs a function of removing fluidity. Such a packing 119 may be formed of a flexible rubber material or the like so as to prevent the second recessed groove 118 from being worn out by friction due to frequent pinching and shortening its life. preferable.

  On the other hand, the container body 110 also includes a bottom protrusion 120 that protrudes downward from the lower surface of the bottom 111. The bottom protrusion 120 is preferably formed on one peripheral edge in consideration of easy standing of the container body 110. If the container main body 110 is provided with the bottom protrusion 120, it is possible to prevent the phenomenon that the entire lower surface of the bottom 111 is soiled by external dirt, and the bottom 111 when touching a cold substance or the like. Thus, it is possible to prevent the cold heat from being easily released through the.

  As already described above, the blade portion 130 is hinged to a pair of hinge portions 113 formed on one side surface of the container body 110. Specifically, the blade part 130 achieves the hinge coupling by inserting protrusions formed at both ends thereof into the groove of the hinge part 113. Hereinafter, the blade part 130 coupled to the container body 110 will be generally described in detail with reference to FIGS. First, the role and arrangement structure of the blade part 130 will be described in detail, and then the form of the blade part 130 will be described in detail. As clearly shown in FIGS. 3-5 regarding the configuration of the vane 130, the description of this portion may be beneficial with reference to these drawings.

  In the embodiment of the present invention, the blade part 130 plays a role of fixing another container body stacked on the upper part. Accordingly, it is preferable that one blade portion 130 is provided on each side surface of the container main body 110, but in the embodiment of the present invention, it is not necessarily limited to this. The reason is that the fixing role can be sufficiently performed only by providing the blade part 130 on the two opposing side surfaces of the container body 110.

  As shown in FIG. 2, when considering that the container body 110 according to the present invention has a substantially rectangular shape, the blade portion 130 includes two first blade portions 131 in the horizontal direction and two second blade portions in the vertical direction. It can be seen that a total of four blade portions such as 132 are attached to the container body 110.

  Next, the form of the blade part 130 will be described. In the embodiment of the present invention, the blade portion 130 includes a support body 133, a handle 134, a fixed protruding piece 135, and the like. The support main body 133 is a main body that forms the base of the blade portion 130, and is supported by the container main body 110 through protrusions provided at both ends thereof. Such a support body 133 has a handle 134 and a fixed protruding piece 135 that protrude in different directions from one end.

  The handle 134 serves as a handle so that the blade part 130 can be easily moved using a human hand, and is embodied in a form protruding outward. If such a handle 134 stands out excessively in the outward direction, it may be easily damaged by a slight external impact. Therefore, when considering the ease of gripping and aesthetic concerns, the handle 134 is positioned above the outer diagonal line. Most preferably it protrudes. On the other hand, in the embodiment of the present invention, it is common that the handle 134 has a length equivalent to the length of the support body 133, but it is not necessarily limited to this.

  Since the fixed protruding piece 135 is a portion that is directly inserted into the first recessed groove 116 of the container body 110 by the blade portion 130, the fixed protruding piece 135 protrudes in the direction opposite to the handle 134. Such a fixed protruding piece 135 preferably protrudes in a direction perpendicular to the support main body 133. This is because in this case, the fluidity of the other container body is further improved by closely contacting the other container main body. This is because it can be efficiently removed.

  In one embodiment of the present invention, the fixed protruding piece 135 has a structure in which one end of the lower surface protrudes downward. The fixed protruding piece 135 can be prevented from easily coming out of the first recessed portion 116 after entering the first recessed groove 116 based on such a structure.

  The lid 150 serves as a cover for closing the opened upper portion of the container body 110. In the embodiment of the present invention, such a lid 150 forms a protruding portion 115 that is folded downward on the side frame, and has a hill portion 117 at the top and a second recessed portion at the bottom with respect to the protruding portion 115. A groove 118 and a packing 119 are provided. Since the protruding portion 115, the hill portion 117, the second recessed groove 118, the packing 119, and the like are as described above, detailed description thereof is omitted here.

  As described above, the stacked storage container 100 according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention described above is realized by stacking a plurality of container main bodies 110. In such a stacked storage container 100, the container main body 110 stacked on the upper part is bundled using the blade part 120, and the container main body 110 positioned at the uppermost stage is closed by a lid 150, thereby The role can be executed.

  In the embodiment of the present invention, the stacked storage container 100 is preferably made of a light material such as a plastic material in consideration of portability. In addition, it is preferable that the laminated storage container 100 is made of a transparent material so that the current state of the contents (for example, confirmation of alteration possibility) can be easily observed.

  On the other hand, the stackable storage container 100 may be provided with a handle on the upper surface of the lid 150 so that a finger can be gripped for easy transportation. Referring to FIG. 7, reference numeral 710 indicates a handle, and reference numeral 700 indicates a stacked storage container according to still another embodiment including the handle 710.

  The above description is merely illustrative of the technical idea of the present invention, and any person having ordinary knowledge in the technical field to which the present invention belongs will not depart from the essential characteristics of the present invention. Various modifications, changes, and substitutions may be possible within the scope. Accordingly, the embodiments and the accompanying drawings described in the present invention are not intended to limit the technical idea of the present invention, but to illustrate them. The scope of the technical idea is not limited. The protection scope of the present invention shall be construed by the following claims, and all technical ideas within the scope equivalent to this shall be construed as being included in the scope of the right of the present invention. .

  Laminated storage containers are more diverse than general storage containers, and have the advantage of being able to accommodate many contents. Therefore, since it is predicted that the spread of stacked storage containers will increase compared to general storage containers in the future, it can be said that the stacked storage containers according to the present invention have high industrial applicability.
