It is a perspective view of the insertion / extraction body to be inserted into a container body. It is a vertical cross-sectional view at the time of pulling out the insertion body. It is a side view at the time of transporting an insertion / extraction body. It is a side view at the time of discharging the contained matter from the insertion body.

Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
The container 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention is used as, for example, a garbage container. If the container 1 is large enough to be grasped by hand, it can be suitably used as a portable or tabletop garbage container.

(Constitution)
First, the configuration of the container 1 will be described.
As shown in FIG. 1, the container 1 has a container body 10. The container body 10 is a tubular container having an opening at the upper end and a bottom 11 at the lower end. The shape of the cross section of the container body 10 is not particularly limited. The container body 10 may have a cylindrical shape or a square tubular shape.

A lid 20 is provided at the opening of the container body 10. Although not particularly limited, the lid 20 is attached to the container body 10 by screw fitting. If the lid 20 is closed, the opening of the container body 10 can be closed. If the lid 20 is opened, the opening of the container body 10 can be opened. The structure may not have the lid 20.

The side wall 12 of the container body 10 is composed of an outer cylinder 13 and an inner cylinder 14. The outer cylinder 13 constitutes the exterior of the container body 10. A male screw that fits with the female screw formed on the lid 20 is formed at the upper end of the outer cylinder 13. The inner cylinder 14 is provided inside the outer cylinder 13. The heights of the outer cylinder 13 and the inner cylinder 14 are substantially the same. Therefore, the lower end of the inner cylinder 14 reaches the bottom 11, and the upper end reaches the upper end of the outer cylinder 13. The inner cylinder 14 is a simple cylinder whose cross-sectional shape and dimensions do not change over the entire upper and lower parts.

The outer cylinder 13 may be transparent. At this time, a display composed of characters, marks, patterns, colors, and the like may be attached to the outer peripheral surface of the inner cylinder 14. Since the outer cylinder 13 is transparent, the display attached to the outer peripheral surface of the inner cylinder 14 can be visually recognized. Therefore, the container 1 can also be used as a display object. If the display attached to the inner cylinder 14 is a company logo or the like, the container 1 can be used as an advertising medium.

A printed matter or the like may be inserted between the outer cylinder 13 and the inner cylinder 14. Further, a display may be attached to the outer peripheral surface of the outer cylinder 13. Even in this way, the container 1 can be used as a display object. Further, the side wall 12 may have a single structure instead of the double structure including the outer cylinder 13 and the inner cylinder 14.

The insertion / extraction body 30 is inserted inside the container body 10 (inner cylinder 14). The container G (for example, dust) is directly housed inside the insertion / extraction body 30.

As shown in FIG. 2, the insertion / extraction body 30 is made of a flexible sheet. The flexible sheet is not particularly limited as long as it is a flexible sheet, but a resin film or the like is preferably used. The flexible sheet has the property of bending due to an external force and returning to a flat surface when the external force is removed.

The insert 30 (flexible sheet) is rectangular in the unfolded state and has an upper edge 31, a lower edge 32, and a pair of side edges 33, 33. Further, the insertion / extraction body 30 (flexible sheet) has a tag-shaped handle 34 protruding from the upper edge 31.

As shown in FIG. 3, the insertion / extraction body 30 (flexible sheet) is rolled into a tubular shape and inserted into the container body 10. Here, the insert 30 (flexible sheet) is rolled so as to be curved along the upper edge 31 and the lower edge 32. Further, in the insertion / extraction body 30 (flexible sheet), the lengths of the upper edge 31 and the lower edge 32 are longer than the inner circumference of the container body 10 (inner cylinder 14). Therefore, the insertion / extraction body 30 (flexible sheet) has side edges 33 and 33 overlapping each other. The rolled insertion / extraction body 30 has a tubular shape with upper and lower ends open. The insertion / extraction body 30 is inserted into the container body 10 from the lower edge 32 with the upper edge 31 and the handle 34 facing upward.

As shown in FIG. 1, when the insertion / extraction body 30 is inserted into the container body 10, the inner diameter thereof is expanded by the elastic force of the flexible sheet. Therefore, the insertion / extraction body 30 is in close contact with the inner surface of the container body 10 (inner cylinder 14). The height of the insertion / extraction body 30, that is, the length of the side edge 33 is set to be the same as or slightly shorter than the height inside the container body 10 (the height of the inner cylinder 14). Therefore, the insertion / extraction body 30 fits inside the container body 10.

As described above, the container 1 of the present embodiment does not have a complicated mechanism and is made of a simple member. Therefore, the container 1 can be manufactured at a low cost.

(how to use)
Next, how to use the container 1 will be described.
As shown in FIG. 1, the insertion / extraction body 30 is inserted inside the container body 10. When accommodating the container G, the lid 20 is opened and the container G is charged through the opening of the container body 10. The container G is directly inserted into the insertion / extraction body 30.

If the container G is pressed by thrusting a finger or the like through the opening of the container body 10, the container G can be compressed and the volume can be reduced. The container body 10 preferably has a rigidity sufficient to withstand the compression of the container G. Further, it is preferable that the cross section of the internal space of the container body 10 (inner cylinder 14) has no corners. For example, a circular, elliptical, or rounded polygon is preferable. By doing so, even if the insertion / extraction body 30 (flexible sheet) is pressed against the inner surface of the container body 10 when the container G is compressed, it is possible to prevent the insertion / extraction body 30 (flexible sheet) from being creases. ..

After charging the container G, the opening of the container body 10 is closed with the lid 20. Then, the container 1 will not be tilted and the container G will not be unintentionally spilled. Therefore, it is suitably used as a portable and tabletop garbage container. If the airtightness between the container body 10 and the lid 20 is increased, the odor can be sealed. Even if dust having an odor is contained, it is possible to prevent the odor from leaking to the outside.

To take out the container G from the container body 10, the following operation is performed.
As shown in FIG. 4, the lid 20 is opened, and the handle 34 of the insertion / extraction body 30 is grasped by a finger and pulled up. Then, the insertion / extraction body 30 can be removed from the container body 10. Since the insertion / extraction body 30 is provided with the handle 34, the insertion / extraction body 30 can be easily removed. However, the insertion / extraction body 30 does not have to have the handle 34.

A frictional force acts between the insertion / extraction body 30 and the container G. Therefore, if the insertion / extraction body 30 is removed from the container body 10, the contents G can be taken out together with the insertion / extraction body 30. The frictional force acting between the insertion / extraction body 30 and the container G becomes stronger as the container G is compressed.

As shown in FIG. 5, after the insertion / extraction body 30 is completely removed from the container body 10, the entire insertion / extraction body 30 is grasped by hand. Then, together with the insertion / extraction body 30, the container G inside the insertion / extraction body 30 can be grasped. Therefore, the insertion / extraction body 30 can be transported to an arbitrary place without dropping the contained object G. For example, the insertion / extraction body 30 is transported to the top of the trash can.

As shown in FIG. 6, the force of the hand holding the insertion / extraction body 30 is relaxed. Then, the inner diameter of the insertion / extraction body 30 is expanded by the elastic force of the flexible sheet. By expanding the inner diameter of the insertion / extraction body 30 in this way, the contained object G can be discharged from the lower part of the insertion / extraction body 30. For example, the containment G can be thrown into the trash can.

As described above, the container 1 can discharge the contained object G by a simple operation of pulling out the insertion / extraction body 30 from the container body 10 and loosening the force of the hand holding the insertion / extraction body 30. Therefore, it is easy to take out the contained material G.

After discharging the container G, the insertion / extraction body 30 is inserted into the container body 10 again. This operation is also simple and easy to perform.

The container 1 of the present embodiment can be used as a garbage container, particularly a portable or tabletop garbage container. However, the use of the container 1 is not limited to the garbage container. Further, the size of the container 1 is not limited. The container 1 may be used as a large tank used in an industrial plant or the like. In this case, the insertion / extraction body 30 may be extracted and gripped by another device instead of a human hand.
