Description

  The present invention relates to a container with a hanging string, and more specifically, a container in which a hanging string such as a shoulder strap is attached to the container, and there is no possibility that the container will inadvertently turn when suspended. The present invention relates to a container with a hanging string.

  For example, as a container for popcorn sold in theme parks, parks, movie theaters, etc., a plastic container is widely used in which a hanging string is attached to a container with a lid so that it can be shouldered. This type of container is used not only for popcorn but also for storing various foods and beverages, and various other items. In this case, the end of the hanging strap is pivotally attached to the side of the container. There are many.

  In the case of this kind of container, the lid is opened with the hanging strap on the shoulder and the contents are often taken out, but the end of the hanging strap is attached to the side of the container in a pivoted state, When opening or sudden movement, the contents may turn and the contents may spill out. In particular, in the case of a child, attention is distracted, and such a situation often occurs due to active movement. However, conventionally, a container with a hanging string that focuses on this point has not been proposed.

  As described above, in the case of a conventional container with a hanging strap, since the end of the hanging strap is attached to the side surface of the container in a pivoted state, the lid is opened with the hanging strap over the shoulder, and the contents are opened. When taking out or moving around, there was a risk that the contents would be carelessly turned and spilled.

  The present invention was made in order to solve the problems in the conventional container with a hanging strap, and by regulating the tiltable angle of the container with respect to the hanging strap, the lid can be opened in the shouldered state and the contents taken out. It is an object of the present invention to provide a container with a hanging string that does not cause the contents to be spilled by tilting the container more than necessary when performing the process.

  Invention of Claim 1 for solving the said subject consists of a container and the suspension string with which both ends are attached to the side part of the said container, and one or both of the said suspension string attachment part of the said container And a shaft portion, a diameter-expanded portion having a larger diameter than the shaft portion formed at the tip of the shaft portion, and a width narrower than the diameter of the shaft portion formed on the upper surface of the shaft portion on both sides. A support shaft comprising a stopper having a vertical surface is projected, and a substrate on which a locking member for locking the support shaft is disposed on one surface is attached to an end of the hanging strap, and the locking member Is formed with a circular hole and an introduction groove that expands upward from the circular hole and exits upward, and maintains a gap corresponding to the thickness of the enlarged-diameter portion between the substrate surface. It is a container with a hanging string characterized by having the latching board arrange | positioned.

  In one embodiment, the width of the lowermost portion of the introduction groove of the locking plate is set to be slightly smaller than the diameter of the shaft portion and the inner diameter of the circular hole, and the diameter of the shaft portion. Is set to be substantially the same as or slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the circular hole. In one embodiment, the support shaft is installed only on one side of the container.

  The present invention is as described above, and in the case of the container with the hanging strap according to the present invention, the rotation of the support shaft locked by the locking member at the connecting portion to the container of the hanging strap The range in which the stopper hits the inclined surface of the introduction groove, that is, the opening angle range of the introduction groove is limited, and the tiltable angle of the container is regulated.For example, when the lid is opened with the shoulder mounted, the contents are taken out, etc. In this case, it is possible to reliably prevent the occurrence of a situation in which the container is tilted more than necessary and the contents are spilled.

It is a perspective view of one embodiment of a container with a hanging string according to the present invention. It is a principal part front view (state before hanging string attachment) of one Embodiment of the container with a hanging string concerning this invention. It is a principal part front view (state after hanging strap attachment) of one Embodiment of the container with a hanging strap concerning this invention. It is a principal part front view (state at the time of the maximum tilting of a container) of one Embodiment of the container with a hanging string which concerns on this invention.

  EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION Below, the form for implementing this invention is demonstrated based on an accompanying drawing. The container with a hanging string according to the present invention is generally composed of a container 1 having a lid 2 that can be freely opened and closed, and a hanging string 3 having both ends attached to the sides of the container 1. In many cases, the container 1 is made of a hard material such as hard plastic or metal, but may be made of a soft material such as soft plastic or cloth.

  A support shaft 4 that supports the end portion of the hanging string 3 is projected from the hanging string connecting portion on the side of the container 1. The support shaft 4 has a shaft portion 5, an enlarged diameter portion 6 larger in diameter than the shaft portion 5 formed at the tip of the shaft portion 5, and a diameter of the shaft portion 5 formed on the upper surface of the shaft portion 5. The stopper 7 is narrow and has vertical surfaces on both sides. Usually, the support shaft 4 is provided on both sides of the container 1, but may be only one side. In this case, the suspension string 3 is connected to the other side by a conventional connection method without tilting restriction.

  A substrate 8 provided with a locking member 9 locked to the support shaft 4 on one surface is attached to the end of the hanging strap 3 attached to the support shaft 4. The locking member 9 is configured by a locking plate 10 that is disposed with a gap corresponding to the thickness of the enlarged diameter portion 6 between the locking member 9 and the locking plate 10. An introduction groove 12 is formed which expands upward from the circular hole 11 and escapes upward. The lowermost width d1 of the introduction groove 12 is set to be slightly smaller than the diameter d2 of the shaft portion 5 and the inner diameter d3 of the circular hole 11, and the diameter d2 of the shaft portion 5 is set to the inner diameter of the circular hole 11. It is set to be substantially the same as d3 or slightly smaller (see FIG. 2).

  In order to attach the end portion of the hanging strap 3 including the substrate 8 having such a configuration to the support shaft 4, first, the shaft portion 5 is arranged in the introduction groove 12 and moved to the lowermost portion (see FIG. 2). The movement of the shaft portion 5 to the lowest part in the introduction groove 12 can be easily performed because the introduction groove 12 is expanded upward. At that time, the enlarged diameter portion 6 is accommodated in a gap corresponding to the thickness of the enlarged diameter portion 6 formed between the locking plate 10 and the substrate 8, so that the shaft portion 5 moves to the lowermost portion in the introduction groove 12. There is no hindrance to the movement.

  Next, when the substrate 8 is shifted upward in that state (or the support shaft 4 is shifted downward), the shaft portion 5 is set to be slightly smaller than its diameter. The lowermost part is pushed open and passes, and is accommodated in the circular hole 11 in a rotatable state (see FIG. 3). There is some resistance when trying to introduce the shaft portion 5 into the circular hole 11, but if at least one of the shaft portion 5 and the locking plate 10 is made of resin, it is introduced by applying a certain amount of force. It is easy to spread the lowermost part of the groove 12 and allow the shaft part 5 to pass therethrough.

  The lowermost width d1 of the introduction groove 12 is immediately restored when the shaft portion 5 passes and returns to an interval narrower than the diameter d2 of the original shaft portion 5, so that the shaft portion 5 extends from the circular hole 11 to the introduction groove 12 direction. It will not be easy to escape. Further, since the enlarged diameter portion 6 that is considerably larger in diameter than the circular hole 11 is accommodated in the gap between the substrate 8 and the locking plate 10, even if an axial force is applied to the support shaft 4, the enlarged diameter portion 6 is expanded. A part of the diameter portion 6 is caught on the edge of the circular hole 11 and the introduction groove 12, so that the support shaft 4 is prevented from coming off in the axial direction. Thus, the end of the hanging strap 3 is supported on the side of the container 1 so as to be rotatable within a predetermined angle range.

  When a force for tilting the container 1 is applied to the container 1 in a state where the shaft portion 5 is rotatably accommodated in the circular hole 11 in this manner, the container 1 is tilted and the support shaft 4 is moved to the circular hole 11. However, when the vertical movement of the stopper 7 hits the inclined surface of the introduction groove 12, it is forcibly stopped and no further rotation is possible. That is, the rotation range of the support shaft 4 in the circular hole 11 is restricted within the range of the opening angle of the introduction groove 12, so that the container 1 may be accidentally turned and spilled. This is surely prevented. Needless to say, the rotatable range of the container 1 can be changed by changing the opening angle of the introduction groove 12.

  Although the container with a hanging string according to the present invention is mainly developed for confectionery such as popcorn, food, or beverage, its use is not limited to these, and other various storage containers for articles. For example, it can be applied to a tool / component storage bag for an operator.

Although the present invention has been described in some detail with respect to its most preferred embodiments, it will be apparent that a wide variety of different embodiments can be constructed without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, the invention being defined by the appended claims. It is not restricted to the specific embodiment other than limiting in.
