Description

The present invention relates to a rod-shaped body storage container that can store rod-shaped bodies such as dried pasta and can measure and take out these rod-shaped bodies by a desired amount.

  In general, dried pasta such as spaghetti, buckwheat noodles, and udon noodles is sold in a state where the lengths are cut and bundled in a certain amount (for example, one serving). When storing such dried pasta in a container, it is common to unpack it and store it in the container, and take it out of the container in a desired amount at the time of use. For example, when cooking two servings of spaghetti, it is necessary to take out, for example, 200 g of dried spaghetti serving two servings from a container while weighing with a scale or the like. For this reason, cooking requires a preparatory preparation such as measuring a predetermined amount in advance and dividing it into small portions, and also requires a space for placing a small portion of dried spaghetti.

  Therefore, a storage container has been devised that can take out a desired amount of dry pasta. For example, a funnel-shaped lid is provided at the upper end of the container body so that it can be freely fitted, and a part of the peripheral wall of the funnel-shaped lid has substantially the same size as a large hole drilled near the upper lid. There is a technical idea related to a storage container (food storage container) in which a funnel opening is formed and an upper lid part having a large hole and a small hole is rotatably fitted to the peripheral wall of the funnel-shaped lid part. (Patent Document 1). In such a storage container, by rotating the upper lid portion with respect to the peripheral wall of the funnel-shaped lid portion to match the large hole and the funnel port, for example, by adjusting the spaghetti of 200 g, or by matching the small hole and the funnel port For example, 100 g of spaghetti can be taken out.

  Also, it has a container body formed in a bottomed cylindrical shape, and an inner lid part and an upper lid part that detachably close the upper part of the container body, and the inner lid part is formed in a tapered shape that narrows upward. A pair of left and right funnels are formed, and a pair of left and right take-out holes with different diameters are formed in the center of each funnel part, and an intermediate portion between the take-out holes is provided between the middle lid portion and the upper lid portion. A plate-like rotating lid that rotates in the left-right direction as a center is provided, and each surface of the rotating lid is provided with a fitting portion that fits into the take-out hole, and the rotating lid is either in the left-right direction. A storage container (noodle stocker) has been devised in which the take-out hole is closed by rotating it into the one-take-out hole (Patent Document 2). In such a storage container, a pair of left and right take-out holes having different calibers can be selectively opened and closed, so that dry noodles corresponding to the caliber can be taken out.

  Moreover, it consists of a main body and a window material, and the main body has a measuring portion, a drop opening, and a main body take-off opening, and the window material is a scraping flat plate portion, a receiving opening, and a window material. The noodle plate is made into dry noodles by dropping dry noodles into the measuring unit and moving the window material at a first position having a notch for taking out and the opening for dropping and the opening for receiving being coincident. A container with storage function for dry noodles (storage container) configured to be able to take out dry noodles dropped into the measuring unit at the second position where the opening for removing the main body and the notch for extracting the window material coincide with each other. Has been devised (Patent Document 3).

However, in the storage container disclosed in Patent Document 1, in order to take out a desired amount (for example, 200 g) of dry pasta, several times (for example, 600 g) of dry pasta must be stored in the storage container. This is because, when the upper lid portion 2 is viewed in plan as shown in FIG. 10, the peripheral edge 3a of the large hole 3 does not overlap with the inner peripheral surface 1a of the container body 1 or even if it overlaps with the inner periphery at one point. It just touches surface 1a. Then, in the upper lid portion 2, the region between the peripheral edge 3 a of the large hole 3 and the inner peripheral surface 1 a of the container body 1 below the chain line L 1 prevents the dry pasta from flowing out (in the case of the small hole 4). The same).

Therefore, when the storage container is tilted to take out the dry pasta (when the upper lid 2 is tilted slightly downward), the lowest position of the inner peripheral surface 1a and the large hole 3 When the dried pasta is accommodated only to a position lower than the difference h1 from the highest portion of the periphery 3a (or its periphery in the case of the small hole 4) (for example, only up to the height h2 in FIG. 10). Sometimes, it is unavoidable that a desired amount of dry pasta cannot be weighed out even though more than the desired amount of dry pasta is contained in the container body. That is, in order to take out a desired amount of dry pasta, as shown in FIG. 11, the dry pasta must be accommodated in such a way that it is inevitably left behind in the container body. In addition, in the storage container, since the alignment error between the upper lid part and the funnel-shaped lid part causes a measurement error, it is difficult to say that the measurement is easy.

In the storage container disclosed in Patent Document 2, there is no problem that an alignment error between the upper lid portion and the funnel-shaped lid portion causes a measurement error. However, the positional relationship between the pair of left and right extraction holes and the inner peripheral surface of the container body is the same as in the case of the storage container of Patent Document 1, and the dry pasta is left behind.

The storage container disclosed in Patent Document 3 has a flat plate portion for rubbing in the container body, and can measure and take out dry pasta (dry noodles) without causing any leftover of dry pasta. However, in addition to the fact that the internal structure is complicated, the storage container cannot accommodate dry pasta below the two holding plates, so the internal volume becomes larger than the storage amount. .

The present invention has been made to improve the problems in the prior art including these, and when taking out the contents (for example, dried pasta etc.), there is almost no leftover of the contents in the container body. Preferably, the contents can be easily weighed without causing any leftovers, and have a simple structure and can efficiently accommodate the contents in the inner space of the container body. It is an object of the present invention to provide a rod-shaped body storage container that can save the storage space of the container.

  In order to solve these problems, a rod-shaped body storage container according to the present invention (Claim 1) includes a container main body formed in a bottomed cylindrical shape, and an upper end closing portion provided at the upper end of the container main body, The upper end closing portion has a take-out port for taking out the rod-shaped body accommodated in the container main body, and a lid portion for opening and closing the take-out port, and the take-out port includes first and second two It has a peripheral part. Here, the first peripheral edge portion has one or both of a straight line portion and a curved portion, and is located on the outer surface side of the peripheral wall with respect to the extended surface of the inner surface of the peripheral wall of the container body, or It is substantially located on the extended surface of the inner surface of the peripheral wall of the container body.

On the other hand, the second peripheral edge portion is formed so as to substantially connect both ends of the first peripheral edge portion with a straight line, and the first and second peripheral edge portions form the outlet. ing. Therefore, when the lid is opened and the rod-shaped body storage container is tilted so that the first peripheral edge is below the second peripheral edge, the stored rod-shaped body is taken out from the lid. Can do. At this time, the first and second peripheral edges do not prevent the rod-like body from being taken out, and only the area above the outlet of the upper end closing part prevents the second peripheral edge, so that the second peripheral edge can be kept substantially horizontal. For example, even when the rod-shaped body that is the contained material is accommodated in a weight corresponding to the area of the outlet and the length of the rod-shaped body, the rod-shaped body is weighed without being left behind or hardly generated. Can be taken out.

If the upper end closing part has a plurality of the outlets, and the opening areas of the outlets are different (Claim 2), it is desirable to select and open one of the plurality of outlets. A quantity of rods can be removed. For example, dry pasta can be weighed and taken out for one person or two people. Moreover, if the cross-sectional shape orthogonal to the length direction of the said container main body is square or a rectangle (Claim 3), it arrange | positions so that it may contact | adhere in a narrow space in the state which stood up the said several said rod-shaped object storage container. Therefore, the rod-shaped body storage container can be stored without dead space.

If the lid portion is configured to pivotably open and close the extraction port by a hinge portion having a pivot shaft positioned substantially parallel to the second peripheral edge portion (Claim 4), By simply opening the lid, it is possible to take out a rod-shaped body having a weight corresponding to the area of the outlet. Of course, if the rod-shaped body storage container has the plurality of outlets, for example, dry pasta can be weighed and taken out for one person or two persons. The parallel relation between the rotation axis of the lid and the second peripheral edge is sufficient if the opening / closing operation of the lid can be simplified, and does not mean strict parallelism. Alternatively, it may be in a positional relationship sufficient to simplify the opening / closing operation of the lid.

  In other words, according to the rod-shaped body storage container of the present invention, when removing the contents (for example, dried pasta), the contents are easily weighed without leaving or hardly leaving the contents in the container body. can do. Further, the rod-shaped body storage container of the present invention has a simple structure having a container main body and an upper end closing part, and the upper end closing part has a take-out port and its lid part, and efficiently accommodates the space inside the container main body for the accommodation. Furthermore, the storage space of the said rod-shaped body preservation | save container can be saved because the cross-sectional shape orthogonal to the length direction of a container main body is square or a rectangle. Since the rod-shaped body storage container can be stored without a dead space, it is possible to provide a convenience that is unique to a case where a plurality of such rod-shaped body storage containers are stored in a limited space such as a narrow space.

Hereinafter, modes for carrying out the present invention will be described.
(Configuration of rod-shaped body storage container)
FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective view of a rod-shaped body storage container 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating a schematic structure of a container body 20 and an upper end closing portion 30 provided in the rod-shaped body storage container 10. First, the rod-shaped body storage container 10, the container body 20, and the upper end closing part 30 will be described based on these drawings.

The container body 20 has a bottomed cylindrical shape having a bottom surface 21 and four peripheral walls 22 to 25 (the peripheral wall 22 and the peripheral wall 24 face each other, and the peripheral wall 23 and the peripheral wall 25 face each other). The shape of the cross section orthogonal to (longitudinal direction) is substantially square, and the container main body space 27 is formed in which the upper end 26 (upper end) facing the bottom surface 21 is opened. Locking claws 22x and 24x are formed on the outer surfaces 22a and 24a of the peripheral walls 22 and 24 on the upper end 26 side, respectively.

The upper end closing part 30 has a bottomed cylindrical shape having a ceiling plate 31 and four peripheral walls 32 to 35, and the lower end 36 side facing the ceiling plate 31 is open. Locking portions 32c and 34c extend downward from the lower ends of the opposed peripheral wall 32 and peripheral wall 34, respectively, and locking holes 32x and 34x are formed in the locking portions 32c and 34c, respectively.

As shown in FIG. 2, the upper end 26 can be closed by covering the upper end closing portion 30 on the upper end 26 of the container body 20 in the direction of the chain line arrow X. More specifically, when the inner surface 31 b of the ceiling plate 31 of the upper end closing part 30 is substantially in contact with the upper end 26 of the container body 20, the engagement formed in the locking parts 32 c and 34 c of the upper end closing part 30. The stop holes 32x and 34x can be locked to the locking claws 22x and 24x of the container body 20, respectively, and the upper end 26 can be closed by the upper end closing part 30. In addition, between the outer surfaces 22a to 25a of the four peripheral walls 22 to 25 of the container body 20 and the inner surfaces 32b to 35b of the four peripheral walls 32 to 35 of the upper end closing part 30, the container main body 20 and the upper end closing part 30 are provided. A moderate amount of play that can be attached and detached is formed.

Further, the locking portions 32c and 34c of the upper end closing portion 30 are flexible, and are deformed so as to be separated from the peripheral walls 22 and 24 of the container main body 20, whereby the upper end closing portion 30 is deformed. Can be removed from. In addition, it is preferable that the container main body 20 and the upper end closing part 30 are each formed of a transparent or translucent resin or the like because the remaining amount of the contents can be visually observed.

(About the outlet)
Next, the takeout port of the upper end closing part 30 will be described. As shown in FIG. 3, the upper end closing portion 30 is formed at four corners of the ceiling plate 31 having a substantially square shape in plan view with the first outlet 41, the second outlet 42, the third outlet 43 and the fourth outlet 44. There are a total of 4 outlets. The opening area of these outlets is the largest at the first outlet 41, and the second outlet 42, the third outlet 43, and the fourth outlet 44 are sequentially narrowed.

The configuration of these outlets will be described using the first outlet 41 as an example. The first outlet 41 is a second peripheral portion that connects the first peripheral portion 45 composed of two straight portions 45a and 45b having the same length, and both ends 45x and 45y of the first peripheral portion 45 with a straight line. 46 and is a substantially right-angled isosceles triangle. Here, the straight portion 45a is positioned substantially parallel to the outer surface 32a with an interval of the thickness d1 of the peripheral wall 32, and the straight portion 45b is also substantially parallel to the outer surface 35a with an interval of the thickness d1 of the peripheral wall 35. It is positioned. The triangle apex formed by the first outlet 41 is located near the corner of the ceiling plate 31 where the peripheral wall 32 and the peripheral wall 35 intersect.

The two straight portions 45a and 45b are positioned substantially on the outer surface 22a of the peripheral wall 22 of the container body 20 and the extended surface of the outer surface 25a of the peripheral wall 25, respectively (see FIG. 4; FIG. 30 is a view showing a partial region of the 30 first extraction ports 41 in a cross section parallel to the peripheral wall 35). That is, when the position of the extended surface extending upward in FIG. 4 by the inner surface 22b of the peripheral wall 22 of the container body 20 is indicated by a chain line Y, the straight line portion 45a is slightly outside the chain line Y (almost the outer surface of the container body 20). 22a). The straight portion 45b is the same, and thus the straight portions 45a and 45b do not block between the container body inner space 27 and the outer space of the first outlet 41.

  Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 5, when the straight portion 45 a is positioned inside the inner surface 22 b of the peripheral wall 22 of the container body 20 (the distance d 2 between the straight portion 45 a and the outer surface 32 a of the peripheral wall 32 of the upper end closing portion 30 is The inclined end 22s may be provided in the vicinity of the upper end 26 of the container body 20 (when the thickness of the peripheral wall 22 of the container body 20 and the thickness of the peripheral wall 32 of the upper end closing portion 30 is longer). In FIG. 5, the inclined end portion 22 s has an inclined surface 22 t formed so as to be in contact with the inner surface 22 b of the peripheral wall 22 of the container main body 20 at its lower end and to be in contact with the linear portion 45 a at its upper end. Then, when the stored item is moved along the inner surface 22b of the peripheral wall 22 to the straight portion 45a, the stored item moves on the inclined surface 22t and moves from the straight portion 45a of the first outlet 41 to the outside. be able to.

That is, the straight portion 45a does not block between the container body inner space 27 and the outer space of the first outlet 41 (the straight portion 45a is substantially on the extended surface of the inner surface 22b of the peripheral wall 22 of the container body 20). It can be said that it is positioned in this). The same applies to the straight line portion 45b.

(About the lid)
Next, the lid part of the upper end closing part 30 will be described. The first take-out port 41 to the fourth take-out port 44 of the upper end closing part 30 have a first lid part 51 to a fourth lid part 54 corresponding to each. The first lid portion 51 to the fourth lid portion 54 have different sizes corresponding to the areas of the first outlet 41 to the fourth outlet 44, but their structures are basically the same. Therefore, the structure of these lid parts will be described with reference to the first lid part 51.

  FIGS. 6A to 6C show cross sections passing through two opposite corners of the first lid portion 51 and the third lid portion 53. 6A shows a state in which the first lid portion 51 is closed, FIG. 6B shows a state in which the first lid portion 51 is opened, and FIG. 6C shows the first lid portion 51. Indicates an open state. Here, the first lid part 51 is connected to the ceiling plate 31 of the upper end closing part 30 by a hinge part 55. The hinge portion 55 is attached to the outer surface 31a of the ceiling plate 31 and the outer surface 51a of the first lid portion 51, and the rotation shaft portion 55a and the second peripheral edge portion 46 are substantially parallel to each other. In FIG. 6, 51 is pivoted upward to open and close the first outlet 41 (FIGS. 6A to 6C).

An opening / closing positioning plate 56 is attached to the inner surface 51b of the first lid portion 51. The opening / closing positioning plate 56 has one end 56a side on the inner surface 31b of the ceiling plate 31 when the first lid portion 51 is closed. It covers a little (Fig. 6 (a)). One end side 57 a of an elastic plate 57 is attached to the inner surface 31 b of the ceiling plate 31, and the elastic plate 57 covers the open / close positioning plate 56 in the central portion or the region on the other end side.

As shown in FIG. 6B, in a state where the first lid 51 is opened by an angle θ, the elastic plate 57 pushes one end 56a of the open / close positioning plate 56 by its elasticity. Accordingly, when the angle θ is smaller than about 90 degrees, the first lid 51 is closed (FIG. 6A), and when the angle θ is larger than about 90 degrees, the first lid 51 is opened (FIG. 6C). )) Thus, the first lid 51 is stabilized by either closing or opening.

This is to prevent the outlets other than the desired outlet from being opened when the rod-shaped body storage container 10 is tilted and the ceiling plate 31 is directed downward in order to take out dry pasta and the like. Of course, the first lid 51 simply opens and closes, and a troublesome operation such as some alignment with the first peripheral edge 45 and the second peripheral edge 46 of the first outlet 41 is unnecessary. Note that the configuration is not limited to the above as long as the lid has such a function.

(Contains, removes and leaves dry pasta)
Next, accommodation and removal of the rod-shaped body in the rod-shaped body storage container 10 will be described using an example of dry pasta. The dried pasta is accommodated in the container body inner space 27 of the container body 20 with the upper end closing part 30 removed from the container body 20 of the rod-shaped body storage container 10, and then the upper end 26 of the container body 20 is connected to the upper end closing part 30. Close with. Of course, the height of the container body inner space 27 must be higher than the length of the dry pasta to be accommodated.

  A case where the dry pasta is weighed out and taken out will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 and 7A in which the dry pasta is taken out from the first take-out port 41. The rod-shaped body storage container 10 is tilted so that the first take-out port 41 is positioned at the lowermost end side of the upper end closing portion 30 by grasping the rod-shaped body storage container 10 with a hand or the like. When the inclination increases and the ceiling plate 31 of the upper end closing portion 30 faces slightly downward, the dry pasta accommodated in the container body inner space 27 moves toward the first take-out port 41 by gravity.

When the dried pasta reaches the position of the inner surface 31b of the ceiling plate 31, the dried pasta that is prevented from moving by the inner surface 31b, and the dried pasta that reaches the first take-out port 41 and moves to the outside of the rod-shaped body storage container 10 Divided into Here, the weight of the dry pasta moving to the outside is determined by the opening area of the first take-out port 41 and the length of the dry pasta.

For example, if the first take-out port 41 has an opening area where the dry pasta having a weight for three persons can be taken out, the dry pasta for three persons can be easily weighed without using a scale or the like. The second take-out port 42 corresponds to the amount of dry pasta for two persons, the third take-out port 43 corresponds to the amount of dry pasta slightly larger than that for one person, and the fourth take-out port 44 is just 1 If the opening area is determined in accordance with the amount of dry pasta for the person, the amount of dry pasta taken out can be selected by selecting the outlet. Therefore, if the rod-shaped body storage container 10 is used, a desired amount of dry pasta can be weighed and taken out as necessary, so that preparations for cooking such as pre-weighing and subdividing are unnecessary, Shorten cooking time and eliminate the need to store small portions of dried pasta.

Next, it will be described with reference to FIG. 8 that the dried pasta can be taken out without being left behind. FIG. 8 is a diagram showing the relationship between the position of the first take-out port 41 in FIG. 7 and the storage amount of dry pasta. Here, the first outlet 41 is positioned on the lowermost end side of the upper end closing portion 30, the second peripheral edge 46 of the first outlet 41 is maintained substantially horizontal, and the ceiling plate of the upper end closing portion 30 is provided. Assume that the posture of the rod-shaped body storage container 10 is maintained so that 31 is slightly directed downward. At this time, at the first take-out port 41, the straight portions 45a and 45b do not prevent the movement of the dry pasta (see FIGS. 4 and 5).

(When the amount of dry pasta is large)
For example, when the dry pasta forms a layer from the position of the chain line L1 or the chain line L2 in the lower part of the rod-shaped body storage container 10 in FIG. 8 (when the upper surface of the layer is positioned at the chain line L1 or L2), the first The movement of the dry pasta is prevented in the region of the ceiling plate 31 of the upper end closing portion 30 between the second peripheral edge 46 of the take-out port 41 and the chain line L1 or the chain line L2. The weight according to the opening area of the first outlet 41. Here, the dried pasta that has been prevented from moving is expected to be taken out after that, and is not left behind.

(When the amount of dry pasta is equal to the amount to be weighed)
When the amount of dry pasta stored equals the amount to be weighed, the stored dry pasta is in the lower part of the rod-shaped body storage container 10 in FIG. 8 and the second peripheral edge 46 of the first outlet 41. This is when the layer is accommodated in all the regions between the overlapping chain line L3 and the intersection of the two straight portions 45a and 45b and forms a layer in the region. That is, the cross section of the layer of dry pasta and the first take-out port 41 overlap (the amount of dry pasta equal to the amount to be measured and taken out is stored in the rod-shaped body storage container 10), and the dry pasta is removed without leaving it. Can be weighed out.

  By the way, when the 2nd peripheral part 46 is not a straight line, the 2nd peripheral part 46 of the 1st extraction port 41 does not overlap with the chain line L3 in the part. For example, as shown in FIG. 9, when the second peripheral edge is a convex curve 46 ′ that is convex upward in the drawing, the curve 46 ′ and the chain line L3 are caused by a shift between them. Thus, two small regions 31x and 31y are formed in the ceiling board 31. These two subregions 31x and 31y prevent the movement of the dry pasta and can be left strictly.

  However, when the two small regions 31x and 31y are narrower than the opening area of the first outlet 41 and, as a result, the remaining amount is negligible compared to the desired amount (for example, in the measurement for three persons, When there is only an error that is normally acceptable for the weight of the three persons), it can be said that there is almost no leftover. In such a case, it can be said that the 2nd peripheral part 46 is formed so that the both ends of two linear parts 45a and 45b may be tied with a substantially straight line. Of course, even if the second peripheral edge 46 is a curve of another shape (for example, a sinusoidal curve), the region formed by the deviation between the curve and the chain line L3 is about the same as the small regions 31x and 31y. If it is an area, this curve can also be said to be a substantially straight line.

Also, in FIG. 5, if there is no inclined portion 22 s, the straight portion 45 a is displaced inward from the extended surface (chain line Y in FIG. 4) of the inner surface 22 b of the peripheral wall 22 of the container body 20 (straight portion). The same applies to 45b). Even in this case, when the deviation is small with respect to the diameter of the dried pasta and removal of the dried pasta is not prevented, the straight portion 45a (straight portion 45b) is substantially positioned on the inner surface 22b of the peripheral wall 22 of the container body 20. It can be said that.

Even if removal of dry pasta is prevented due to the above-described deviation, it can be said that if the amount to be prevented is only an error that is normally allowed in the measurement of dry pasta, there is almost no leftover. Further, if the container body 20 is slightly shaken, it is possible to further reduce or eliminate the remaining of the dry pasta.

As described above, when the rod-shaped body storage container 10 is used, dry pasta (bar-shaped body) can be measured and taken out with little or no leftover.

(Storage of rod storage container)
The rod-shaped body storage container 10 is a columnar body having a substantially square cross section. Therefore, when storing and storing dry pasta in a plurality of rod-shaped body storage containers 10, the rod-shaped body storage containers 10 can be arranged so as to be in close contact with each other, and many rod-shaped body storage containers 10 can be stored in a narrow storage space. it can. Of course, the same applies to a columnar body having a rectangular cross section.

(Modification 1)
The cross-sectional shape of the rod-shaped body storage container described above can also be modified. For example, the cross-sectional shape may be a triangular shape (for example, a regular triangular shape), and may be a rod-shaped body storage container having a triangular columnar shape (FIG. 9A). In this case, an extraction port having a different opening area may be provided at each vertex (corner) of the triangle. Further, when the cross-sectional shape is a polygonal shape (for example, a regular polygonal shape), an extraction port having a different opening area may be provided at each vertex of the polygon. That is, by changing the cross-sectional shape, it is possible to increase the selection of dry pasta (rod-like body).

(Modification 2)
Alternatively, the cross-sectional shape may be a cylindrical shape. In this case, the take-out port is formed such that the first peripheral edge is an arc and the second peripheral edge connects both ends of the arc. Therefore, by providing a plurality of outlets having arcs of different lengths, the selection of dry pasta (rod-like body) can be increased. The same applies to an elliptical columnar body.

  Apart from the above, as shown in FIGS. 9B to 9F, various structures can be adopted for the outlet. Depending on the structure, differences in ease of removal, tightness of storage, and the like can occur. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 9G, it is possible to have a structure in which a groove is engraved on the side surface and a stopper is provided at a position suitable for the amount of one person, one person, two persons, etc. It is.

Of course, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and can be modified without changing the gist thereof as appropriate.
