Description

  The present invention relates to a feeding container, and more particularly to a feeding container in which a columnar molded product such as a lip balm or a stick paste is accommodated.

  As shown in FIG. 4, as a container for accommodating a columnar molded product such as lip balm or stick paste, a shaft 43 provided with a male screw portion 41 is erected from the center of the upper surface, and a shaft member 42. Is formed in the central portion with a hollow cylindrical body portion 44 that is disposed on the base portion 43 so as to be relatively rotatable and a female screw hole 45 that engages with the male screw portion 41 of the shaft member 42. There is known a feeding container 40 including a saucer portion 46 that is screwed to a shaft member 42.

  In such a feeding container, the columnar molded product 47 such as lip balm or stick glue is attached with the lower end portion attached to the saucer 46, and the base 43 is placed in one direction with respect to the main body 44 during use. By the relative rotation, the saucer portion 46 is raised by the threaded engagement of the male screw portion 41 of the shaft member 42 and the female screw hole 45 of the saucer portion 46, and the columnar molding 47 accommodated in the main body portion 44 is fed out. . After use, by rotating the main body 44 relative to the base 43 in the opposite direction, the tray 46 is lowered, and the columnar molded product 47 is accommodated in the main body 44. On the inner peripheral surface of the main body portion 44 and the outer peripheral surface of the tray portion 46, slide guide portions 48 and 48 ′ are provided in the axial direction by longitudinal ribs and grooves extending in parallel with the axial direction of the main body portion 44, respectively. These are slidably engaged so that when the main body 44 is rotated relative to the base 43, the pan 46 is prevented from rotating together, and the pan 46 is kept in a stable state. Raise or lower.

  On the other hand, in such a feeding container 40, when the saucer portion 46 is continuously raised, the male screw portion 41 of the shaft member 42 and the female screw hole 45 of the saucer portion 46 are disengaged, and the saucer portion 46 becomes the shaft member 42. Or the main body 44 may fall off. For example, when a lipstick or the like is stored in a bag or pocket in the middle of use, fingers and other things inadvertently contact with the base 43 and the main body 44 of the feeding container 40 and rotate, When the saucer part 46 rises and falls off from the shaft member 42 and the main body part 44 together with the lip stick, the lip stick or the like may adhere to the cap attached to cover the tip of the main body part 44, for example. . This makes it impossible to use lipstick or the like.

  For this reason, even when the tray portion is continuously raised, a feeding container has been developed that can prevent the tray portion from coming out of the shaft member or the main body portion (see, for example, Patent Document 1). . In the feeding container of Patent Document 1, a part without a thread is provided by a predetermined length on the tip side of the male thread part of the shaft member, and a thread is provided in the vicinity of the tip of the part without the thread. As a result, even if the saucer portion is raised, when the predetermined height is raised, the threads are disengaged from each other, and the saucer is idle, and the saucer portion is caught by the screw thread at the tip and detached from the shaft portion. Disappear.
