  The dimension L1 in the left-right direction (Y-axis direction) of the knob portion 53 is preferably about 90 mm or more and 150 mm or less, for example. If the dimension L1 is smaller than 90 mm, a child with a relatively large hand may easily release the engaged state of the engaging portions 43 and 44. If the dimension L1 is larger than 150 mm, even an adult with a relatively large hand may engage. This is because it may be difficult to release the engagement state of the joint portions 43 and 44.

  The dimension L1 is preferably set based on the size of the child's hand, for example. More specifically, for example, the dimension L1 is the first finger-second fingertip distance (fingertip distance between the thumb and forefinger) or the first finger-first of a boy with a relatively large hand around 4 years old. It is preferable that the distance is set to be greater than the three-finger distance (the distance between the thumb and the middle finger). By setting in this way, it can suppress suitably that the container 10 is opened by the child under 4 years old, and it can suppress more that an accidental eating and an accidental ingestion arise.

  Next, the opening method of the container 10 of this embodiment is demonstrated. As described above, the engaging portions 43 and 44 are engaged with the lid portion 50 when the lid portion 50 is closed. Thus, the lid 50 is restricted from rotating with respect to the frame 40 about the hinge 60 as a fulcrum, and the lid 50 is restricted from being opened. The user U releases both of the engagement states of the two engaging portions 43 and 44, and then rotates the lid portion 50 with respect to the frame portion 40 with the hinge portion 60 as a fulcrum so that the lid portion 50 is moved. The container 10 can be opened by opening. Details will be described below. The user U is a person who properly uses the cleaning agent or the like contained in the container 10, for example, an adult.

  4 and 5 are cross-sectional views for explaining a method for opening the container 10. First, as shown in FIG. 4, the user U inserts the tip of the first finger F1 into the left-side opening AP1 through the finger insertion space DP1, and the tip of the second finger F2 through the finger insertion space DP2. Insert into the right opening AP2. Then, the first finger F1 and the second finger F2 are moved in the left-right direction (Y-axis direction) to approach each other, and the engaging portion 43 and the engaging portion 44 are pushed. Thereby, a pair of engaging parts 43 and 44 are pushed to the side in which the other engaging part in a horizontal direction is located, respectively.

  Specifically, the distal end portion 43b of the engaging portion 43 is pushed to the side (right side, + Y side) where the engaging portion 44 is positioned in the left-right direction by the distal end of the first finger F1. That is, the engaging portion 43 is pushed from the left side (−Y side) toward the right side. Therefore, for example, the engaging portion 43 is elastically deformed in the clockwise direction around the axis parallel to the front-rear direction (X-axis direction) around the lower end of the base portion 43a. Thereby, the front-end | tip part 43b moves to the right side rather than the inner edge of the left side of the engagement hole part 54a, and the engagement state with the cover part 50 of the engagement part 43 is cancelled | released. That is, the engaging portion 43 is released from the engaged state by being pushed in the left-right direction intersecting the up-down direction. For example, the engagement portion 43 contacts the support wall portion 45a in a state where the engagement state is released.

  The distal end portion 44b of the engaging portion 44 is pushed to the side (left side, -Y side) where the engaging portion 43 is located in the left-right direction by the distal end of the second finger F2. That is, the engaging portion 44 is pushed from the right side (+ Y side) toward the left side (−Y side). Therefore, for example, the engaging portion 44 is elastically deformed counterclockwise in a front view around an axis parallel to the front-rear direction (X-axis direction) with the lower end of the base portion 44a as the center. Thereby, the front-end | tip part 44b moves to the left side rather than the inner edge of the right side of the engagement hole part 54a, and the engagement state with the cover part 50 of the engagement part 44 is cancelled | released. That is, the engaging portion 44 is released from the engaged state by being pushed in the left-right direction intersecting the up-down direction. For example, the engagement portion 44 contacts the support wall portion 45b in a state where the engagement state is released.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the pair of engaging portions 43 and 44 are released to the side where the other engaging portion in the left-right direction is located, thereby releasing the engaged state.

  Next, the user U sandwiches the upper wall portion 53a of the knob portion 53 between the abdomen of the first finger F1 and the abdomen of the second finger F2 in a state in which the engagement portions 43 and 44 are disengaged. Then, an upper force is applied to the lid 50 through the knob 53. At this time, since the engagement state of the pair of engagement portions 43 and 44 is released, the lid portion 50 is rotatable with respect to the frame portion 40 using the hinge portion 60 as a fulcrum. Thereby, as shown in FIG. 5, the lid 50 can be lifted upward with respect to the frame 40, and the lid 50 can be rotated with respect to the frame 40. As described above, the user U can open the lid 50 and can open the container 10.

  The first finger F1 and the second finger F2 of the user U are not particularly limited. As an example, the first finger F1 is a thumb and the second finger F2 is a middle finger.

  According to the present embodiment, the upper wall portion 53a that covers at least a part of the upper side of the engaging portions 43 and 44 is provided in a state where the lid portion 50 is closed. Therefore, the engaging portions 43 and 44 are difficult to be visually recognized by the user U in plan view. Thereby, for example, it is difficult for a child to recognize the engaging portions 43 and 44, and it is possible to suppress the engaging portions 43 and 44 from being pushed and the engaged state of the engaging portions 43 and 44 being released. Therefore, it can suppress that the cover part 50 is opened easily. As a result, according to this embodiment, the container 10 having a structure corresponding to child proof and not easily opened is obtained. Thereby, it can suppress that a child opens the container 10, and it can suppress that the accidental eating and accidental ingestion of the contents of the container 10 arise.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, the upper wall portion 53a covers the entire upper side of the engaging portions 43 and 44 in a state where the lid portion 50 is closed. Therefore, it is difficult for the child to recognize the engaging portions 43 and 44, and the container 10 that is excellent by child proof is obtained.

  Moreover, according to this embodiment, a pair of engaging parts 43 and 44 are provided along the left-right direction, and the engaging parts 43 and 44 are each pushed to the side in which the other engaging part in the left-right direction is located. Thus, the engaged state is released. Therefore, the user U (adult, etc.) can release the two engaging portions 43 and 44 simultaneously by sandwiching the pair of engaging portions 43 and 44 with two fingers, for example. Thereby, the user U can cancel | release the engagement state of a pair of engaging parts 43 and 44 simultaneously comparatively easily.

  On the other hand, for example, when the distance in the left-right direction between the pair of engaging portions 43 and 44 is relatively large, the small children's hands cannot pinch the engaging portions 43 and 44 with one finger. Therefore, it is difficult to release the engagement states of the engagement portions 43 and 44 at the same time.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, an adult or the like having a relatively large hand can relatively easily easily release the engagement state of the pair of engaging portions 43 and 44, thereby making the container 10 relatively easy. It is difficult for a child with a relatively small hand to open the container 10. Therefore, the container 10 excellent in child proof is obtained while improving the convenience of the user U.

  As described above, the container 10 according to the present embodiment has a structure that can not be easily opened by a child corresponding to a child proof, but for a proper user U (adult, etc.) within a range that can be adapted to a child proof. A structure that is easy to open is preferable.

  In addition, in the present embodiment, at least a part of the upper side of the engaging portions 43 and 44 is covered with the upper wall portion 53a. Therefore, when the user U pushes with the engaging portions 43 and 44 interposed therebetween, the user U needs to turn the first finger F1 and the second finger F2 around to the lower side of the upper wall portion 53a. Specifically, the user U bends the first joint of the first finger F1 and the first joint of the second finger F2, and inserts them into the left opening AP1 and the right opening AP2. Thereby, compared with the case where the upper part of the engaging parts 43 and 44 is not covered, the hand length required in order to push the engaging parts 43 and 44 simultaneously can be enlarged. Thereby, it is harder to open the container 10 for a child with a small hand, and the container 10 having a superior child proof is obtained.

  Further, for example, even when it is difficult to increase the distance between the engaging portions 43 and 44 due to restrictions on the horizontal dimension of the container 10, the engaged state of the engaging portions 43 and 44 is released. Therefore, the length of the hand necessary for this can be made relatively large. Therefore, for example, even in a small container 10 or the like, the container 10 having a structure that cannot be easily opened corresponding to child proof is obtained.

  Specifically, in order to release the engaged state of the engaging portions 43 and 44, in addition to the left and right dimension L1 of the knob portion 53, the engaging portion is connected from the upper wall portion 53a via the left opening portion AP1. A distance to reach 43 and a distance to reach the engaging portion 44 from the upper wall portion 53a via the right side opening AP2 are required. Therefore, for example, even when the left-right dimension L1 of the knob 53 is relatively small and the child's fingers can reach both ends of the knob 53 in the left-right direction, The engagement state of the engagement portions 43 and 44 cannot be released only by the fingers reaching both ends in the left-right direction. Thereby, it can suppress that a child opens the container 10. FIG.

  In addition, for example, for a child around 4 years old, it is difficult to perform an operation of bending and pinching the first joint of a finger. Therefore, it is difficult for the child to bend the first joint of each finger as described above and simultaneously release the engaging portions 43 and 44. Therefore, the container 10 having better child proof is obtained.

  Moreover, according to this embodiment, the knob | pick part 53 which has the upper wall part 53a which covers the upper side of at least one part of the engaging parts 43 and 44 is provided. Therefore, the engaging portions 43 and 44 are sandwiched between two fingers, and the grip portion 53 (upper wall portion 53a) is sandwiched and held with the engaging portions 43 and 44 released from the engaged state. it can. As a result, the user U (adult or the like) can stably hold the lid 50 while releasing the engaged state of the engaging portions 43 and 44, and can easily rotate the lid 50.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, the engaging portions 43 and 44 are provided on the frame portion 40. Therefore, the user U cannot grasp the lid 50 and cannot rotate the lid 50 only by pinching the engaging portions 43 and 44 in the left-right direction. Thereby, the user U pushes the engaging portions 43 and 44 to release the engaged state, and grasps the lid portion 50 with the engaging portions 43 and 44 releasing the engaged state. The lid 50 cannot be opened without passing through one step. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the lid 50 from being easily opened, and it is possible to obtain the container 10 corresponding to the child proof and having a structure that cannot be opened more easily.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, the support wall portions 45a and 45b with which the engaging portions 43 and 44 come into contact with each other when the engaged state is released are provided. Therefore, when the engaging parts 43 and 44 are pushed and deform | transformed, it can suppress that the engaging parts 43 and 44 deform | transform excessively. Thereby, when the engaging state of the engaging parts 43 and 44 is cancelled | released, it can suppress that the engaging parts 43 and 44 break, such as breaking.

  In particular, when the upper sides of the engaging portions 43 and 44 are covered as in the present embodiment, the user U is difficult to visually recognize the engaging portions 43 and 44, and thus the degree of deformation of the engaging portions 43 and 44. It is difficult to grasp. Therefore, there is a high possibility that the engaging portions 43 and 44 are excessively deformed. That is, the effect of suppressing excessive deformation of the engaging portions 43 and 44 by the support wall portions 45a and 45b is particularly effective when the upper sides of the engaging portions 43 and 44 are covered as in the present embodiment. Useful.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, the engaging portions 43 and 44 are provided at the rotation tip side with the hinge portion 60 as a fulcrum, that is, at a position opposite to the hinge portion 60. Therefore, the sealing property of the container 10 can be improved. Further, for example, the direction in which the user U holds the part (for example, the knob part 53) on the rotation tip side of the lid part 50 and opens the lid part 50 while the engagement parts 43 and 44 are in the engaged state. When the force is applied, the distance from the force point of the force applied by the user U to the action point (the engaging portions 43 and 44) can be reduced. Thereby, even if the force of the direction which opens to the cover part 50 is applied with each engaging part 43 and 44 being an engagement state, it can suppress that excessive force is applied to each engaging part 43 and 44. FIG. Therefore, it can suppress that the engagement state of each engaging part 43 and 44 is cancelled | released forcibly, and the container 10 excellent in child proof is obtained.

  In addition, this invention is not restricted to the above-mentioned embodiment, Other structures can also be employ | adopted. In the following description, the same configurations as those described above may be omitted by appropriately attaching the same reference numerals.

  In the present embodiment, at least one of the frame portion 40 and the lid portion 50 engages with the other of the frame portion 40 and the lid portion 50 when the lid portion 50 is closed.

That is, for example, the engaging part that is released from the engaged state by being pushed in a direction crossing the up-down direction may be provided only in the lid part 50, or both the frame part 40 and the lid part 50 may be provided. May be provided.

  In addition, it is sufficient that at least one engaging portion 43, 44 is provided. That is, one of the engaging portion 43 and the engaging portion 44 may not be provided, or another engaging portion may be provided in addition to the engaging portions 43 and 44. Further, when two or more engaging portions are provided, it is only necessary that at least one of the engaging portions is covered by the upper wall portion 53a in at least one of the plurality of engaging portions. That is, for example, any one of the engaging portions 43 and 44 may not be covered by the upper wall portion 53a.

  In addition, the direction in which the engaging portions 43 and 44 are pushed when released is not particularly limited as long as the direction intersects the vertical direction. That is, the direction in which the engaging portions 43 and 44 are pushed when being released does not have to be orthogonal to the vertical direction.

  Moreover, the position where each engaging part 43 and 44 is provided is not specifically limited, You may provide in any location of the frame part 40. FIG. Further, each of the engaging portions 43 and 44 may be provided separately from the other portions of the frame portion 40.

  Further, the engaging method of the engaging portions 43 and 44 is not particularly limited as long as the lid portion 50 and the frame portion 40 are engaged to restrict the rotation of the lid portion 50.

  Further, the upper ends of the support wall portions 45a and 45b may be at the same position in the vertical direction as the upper ends of the engaging portions 43 and 44, or may be positioned above the upper ends of the engaging portions 43 and 44. Good. Further, the support wall portions 45a and 45b may not be provided.
