JP 2005-237457 A

  However, in the conventional container with a lid, the lid and the push piece are formed separately, and a reduction in the number of parts has been demanded. Moreover, since the push piece is disposed in the container body, there is room for improvement in operability when the lid is opened.

  Then, an object of this invention is to provide the container with a lid | cover which improved the open operativity while reducing the number of parts.

  The present invention employs the following means in order to solve the above problems. That is, a container with a lid according to the present invention includes a container main body for storing contents, a rear plate portion connected to the container main body via a hinge, and a lid for opening and closing the inside of the container main body, The lid body is provided with an elastic support portion that is elastically deformable rearward and is provided with a pushing portion that protrudes forward. The pushing portion is located inside the container body. A locked portion is formed, and a locking portion for locking the locked portion is formed on the front wall portion of the container body, and the lid, the elastic support portion, and the push-in portion The part is formed integrally.

In this invention, the elastic support part and the pushing part are formed integrally with the lid, and the elastic support part and the pushing part are separated from the container body together with the lid when the container body is opened. The number of parts related to the mechanism can be reduced, and the opening operability is improved.
That is, when the pushing portion is pushed back and the elastic support portion is elastically deformed, the pushing portion is displaced rearward to release the locked state between the locking portion and the locked portion. Then, with the pushing portion pushed back, the lid body is rotated with respect to the container body around the hinge together with the elastic support portion and the pushing portion to open the container body. Therefore, the container body can be opened and closed without providing the push piece, and the lid can be easily opened as compared with the configuration including the push piece.
In addition, the push piece is not interposed between the container body and the lid, and the lid and the push-in part are integrally formed. Therefore, compared with the case where the push piece is formed as a separate body, the lid The entire attached container can be reduced in height. Furthermore, the entire volume of the lidded container can be reduced.

Further, in the container with a lid of the present invention, the elastic support portion has a belt shape extending in the circumferential direction, and is connected to the front plate portion of the lid body at a position sandwiching the pushing portion in the circumferential direction. The circumferential length of the elastic support portion between the connecting portions with respect to the front plate portion may be longer than the circumferential length of the pushing portion.
In this invention, since the length in the circumferential direction between the connecting portions of the elastic support portion can be sufficiently secured, the locking state between the locking portion and the locked portion is more reliably released when the pressing portion is pressed. The pushing portion can be displaced rearward sufficiently.

  According to the lidded container according to the present invention, the number of parts related to the mechanism for opening and closing the container body can be reduced, and the opening operability is improved. Moreover, compared with the structure which has a push piece as a separate body, while the height of the whole container with a lid can be made low, the volume of the whole container with a lid can be made small.

Yes.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 6, the lid body 13 is made of a synthetic resin material like the container body 11, and has a rectangular plate-like top plate portion 31 and an outer peripheral edge of the top plate portion 31 in a plan view. A rectangular annular peripheral plate portion 32 extending downward from the bottom.
The top plate portion 31 is disposed so as to be opposed to the upper side of the bottom wall portion 21 of the container body 11 in the closed state of the lid body 13. Further, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, the vertical thickness of the intermediate portion 31A in the left-right direction in the front portion of the top plate portion 31 is made thinner from the lower surface than the vertical thickness of the other portions. The lower surface of the top plate portion 31 is inclined so as to gradually go upward as it goes forward in the transition portion 31B to the front side portion. In this way, by reducing the thickness of the intermediate portion in the left-right direction in the front side portion of the top plate portion 31, the top plate portion 31 of the lid body 13 and the bottom wall portion 21 of the container body 11 in this portion are reduced. A space sufficient for disposing an elastic support portion 41 to be described later is formed therebetween. Further, as shown in FIGS. 3 to 6, a mirror body 33 is joined to the lower surface of the top plate portion 31.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 6, the peripheral plate portion 32 is located at the rear end and extends in the left-right direction, and includes a rear plate portion 35 provided with a hinge shaft wall portion 34 constituting the hinge 12, and a front end A front plate portion 36 that extends in the left-right direction and is positioned at the right end, a right plate portion 37 that extends in the front-rear direction at the right end, and a left plate portion 38 that is positioned at the left end and extends in the front-rear direction, Is provided.
As shown in FIGS. 1, 3, and 5, the hinge shaft wall 34 is disposed inside the hinge recess 23A in the left-right direction, and the left and right outer ends of the hinge shaft wall 34 and the hinge recess 23A is connected by turning the shaft portion 39. Thereby, the hinge 12 which supports the cover body 13 rotatably with respect to the container main body 11 is comprised.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, an operation recess 36 </ b> A that is recessed toward the rear is formed in the middle portion in the left-right direction of the front surface of the front plate portion 36. The front plate portion 36 is formed with an insertion hole portion 36B penetrating in the front-rear direction at a portion where the operation recess 36A is formed.
Further, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, the front plate portion 36 is provided with a belt-like elastic support portion 41 that can be elastically deformed rearward.

  The elastic support portion 41 is a belt-like member that extends in the left-right direction and has a U shape in plan view, and both left and right end portions of the elastic support portion 41 are integrally connected to the front plate portion 36. In addition, a pushing portion 42 that protrudes forward is provided at an intermediate portion in the left-right direction of the elastic support portion 41. The pushing portion 42 is a plate-like member having an L-shaped cross section, and extends downward from the rear end of the operation portion 43 and a plate-like operation portion 43 extending forward from the elastic support portion 41. And a plate-like locking portion 44 provided.

The operation portion 43 passes through the insertion hole portion 36B and protrudes into the operation recess 36A, but does not extend further forward than the front surface of the front wall portion 24 of the container body 11 in plan view. Moreover, the length of the operation part 43 in the left-right direction is longer than the length of the locking protrusion 24A in the left-right direction.

Is formed. In addition, the front surface 44B of the portion below the locking hole portion 44A of the locking portion 44 is inclined so as to go backward as it goes downward. Note that the length of the locking portion 44 in the left-right direction is shorter than the length of the operation portion 43 in the left-right direction, but is longer than the length of the locking projection 24A in the left-right direction.
The connecting portion between the operation portion 43 and the locking portion 44 is integrally connected to the elastic support portion 41. Therefore, the elastic support portion 41 and the pushing portion 42 are formed integrally with the lid body 13.

Next, a method of using the lidded container 1 having the above configuration will be described.
First, when the lid 13 is opened, when the operation portion 43 of the push-in portion 42 is pushed backward, the elastic support portion 41 is elastically deformed, so that the push-in portion 42 moves backward in the cutout portion 27C. To do. Then, the locking state between the locking hole portion 44A of the pushing portion 42 and the locking projection 24A of the front wall portion 24 is released. Here, since the operation portion 43 of the push-in portion 42 is inserted into the insertion hole portion 36B formed in the front plate portion 36 of the lid body 13, the backward pushing operation is guided by the insertion hole portion 36B and is stable. To do. Further, since the rear surface of the pushing portion 42 abuts against the rear edge portion of the cutout portion 27 </ b> C in the interior body 27, the pushing portion 42 can be restricted from moving rearward, so that excessive pushing of the operation portion 43 is suppressed. Yes. Thereby, the lid body 13 is rotated around the hinge 12 together with the elastic support portion 41 and the pushing portion 42 to open the container body 11. When the pushing of the pushing portion 42 is released, the elastic support portion 41 is restored and deformed, so that the pushing portion 42 returns to the initial position.

When closing the lid 13, first, the lid 13 is rotated around the hinge 12 in the reverse direction. When the lid 13 is rotated around the hinge 12, the lower end portion of the locking portion 44 in the pushing portion 42 comes into sliding contact with the upper surface of the locking projection 24A of the front wall portion 24, and the locking projection 24A is moved. The climbing hole 44A is locked with the locking projection 24A. As a result, the container body 11 is closed with the lid 13. At this time, since the front surface 44B of the lower end portion of the operation portion 44 is inclined as described above, the locking projection 24A gets over the portion of the lower end portion of the operation portion 44 that protrudes most forward. It is easy to enter the locking hole 44A. Therefore, the lid 13 can be easily closed.
The lidded container 1 is opened and closed as described above.

As described above, according to the lidded container 1 according to the present embodiment, the elastic support portion 41 and the pushing portion 42 are formed integrally with the lid body 13, and the elastic support portion 41 and the pushing portion 42 together with the lid body 13. 11, the number of parts related to the mechanism for opening and closing the container body 11 can be reduced, and the opening operability is improved. In addition, the overall height of the lidded container 1 can be reduced, and the volume of the lidded container 1 as a whole can be reduced as compared with a configuration including a push piece as a separate body.
Further, since the length in the left-right direction between the connecting portions of the elastic support portion 41 with respect to the front plate portion 36 is longer than the length in the left-right direction of the push-in portion 42, The pushing portion 42 can be displaced rearward enough to release the locking state with the stop hole portion 44A more reliably.

In addition, this invention is not limited to the said embodiment, A various change can be added in the range which does not deviate from the meaning of this invention.
For example, the shape of the elastic support portion is not limited to the U shape in plan view, and may be another shape. Moreover, although the elastic support part is connected with the front board part of the cover body in two places, according to the shape of an elastic support part, one place may be sufficient and three or more places may be sufficient.
The pushing portion is connected to the front plate portion of the lid, but may be connected to other portions such as the left and right side plate portions and the top plate portion. Further, the pushing portion is not limited to the L-shaped cross section, and may have another shape.
The front plate portion of the lid has an insertion hole portion through which the operation portion of the push-in portion is inserted. However, if the operation portion can be operated from the outside of the lid body, the insertion hole portion need not be formed. Good. In addition, after integrally forming the lid body together with the elastic support portion and the pushing portion using a mold, for example, by injection molding, a cylindrical member having a closed front end may be disposed so as to cover the operation portion, for example. Thereby, it can suppress that an excessive clearance gap is formed between the operation part and the opening edge of an insertion hole part.
The locking portion and the locked portion may be any structure that can be locked to each other and can be unlocked when the pushing portion is pushed backward. For example, the locking portion is used as a locking groove portion. The part may be formed as a locking protrusion, and both the locking part and the locked part may be formed as a locking protrusion.
The shape of the container main body and the lid is not limited to a rectangular shape in a top view, and may be other shapes such as a circular shape, and is not limited to a flat shape.
The container body is configured to accommodate two contents, but may be configured to accommodate one or more contents.

  According to this invention, industrial applicability is recognized regarding the container with a lid which reduced the number of parts and improved the open operability.
