Further, a threaded portion 11c is provided on the upper outer circumferential surface of the peripheral wall portion 11b, and a threaded portion 53a (see FIG. 1) provided on the lid body 50 side is screwed into the threaded portion 11c. A body 50 is removably attached.

In this embodiment, the content storage section 20 refers to an internal space defined by the bottom wall section 11a and the peripheral wall section 11b and having an open top surface. Hereinafter, the open upper surface of the content storage section 20 will be referred to as an opening surface 21. The contents can be taken out from this opening surface 21 using a take-out tool 40.

The contents are not particularly limited, but include, for example, various cosmetics such as creams, gels, and pastes, medicines such as ointments, foods such as seasonings, pastes, adhesives, paints, paints, etc. can be mentioned. These cream-like, gel-like, paste-like, and other contents can be suitably taken out using the take-out tool 40. However, the contents may be in other forms such as liquid or solid (including powder), and the take-out tool 40 can be used to take out the contents from the contents storage section 20 depending on the form of the contents, as described later. It is sufficient if it is possible.

In the illustrated example, the content storage section 20 is configured integrally with the container body 10. However, for example, the content storage section 20 may be configured as a refill container that is detachable from the container body 10. However, it may be configured such that a used refill container can be removed from the container body 10 and an unused refill container can be attached.

As shown in FIG. 2, the inclined surface 12 is provided below the threaded portion 11c provided on the peripheral wall portion 11b so as to protrude radially downward from the outer circumferential surface of the peripheral wall portion 11b. As described above, the insertion surface 13 is connected to the lower end of the inclined surface 12 and the upper end of the outer wall portion 14. The outer wall portion 14 is arranged outside the peripheral wall portion 11b and spaced apart from the peripheral wall portion 11b.

A space defined by a peripheral wall portion 11b, an inclined surface 12, an insertion surface 13, and an outer wall portion 14 is provided on the outside of the inner container portion 11. In the present embodiment, a portion of the space in which the insertion port 13a is provided in the insertion surface 13 is specifically referred to as a retrieval tool accommodating portion 30.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the opening surface 21 of the contents storage section 20 and the insertion port 13a of the removal tool storage section 30 both face the lid 50 side, that is, the top surface side. As shown in FIG. 2(b), the take-out tool 40 is inserted into or removed from the insertion opening 13a of the insertion surface 13 in the vertical direction. The insertion port 13a has a substantially similar shape according to the outer shape (cross-sectional shape) of the content extraction part 41 of the extraction tool 40.

Next, the configuration of the take-out tool 40 will be explained with reference to FIGS. 3 to 6. FIG. 3(a) is a top view of the take-out tool 40, and FIG. 3(b) is a front view of the take-out tool 40, showing a state in which a handle portion 42, which will be described next, is extended to its maximum length. As shown in FIG. 3(b), the removal tool 40 protrudes outward from the outer peripheral surface at the content removal part 41, the handle part 42, and the connecting portion between the content removal part 41 and the handle part 42. The handle portion 42 has a convex portion 43, and is configured such that the length of the handle portion 42 can be expanded and contracted by an elastic deformation portion 46, which will be described later. Hereinafter, the direction in which the content removal part 41 and the handle part 42 are connected will be defined as the length direction of the removal tool 40. In this embodiment, the removal tool 40 is configured as a longitudinally elongated spatula or spatula. For convenience of explanation, hereinafter, in the length direction of the take-out tool 40, the side of the take-out tool 40 where the handle part 42 is arranged is referred to as "upper", and the side where the content take-out part 41 is arranged is referred to as "lower". It is sometimes called.

The take-out tool 40 is used to take out the contents from the contents storage section 20.
Depending on the content, the content extraction part 41 can be configured in the shape of a flat plate or a spatula or spatula shaped like a rod, as shown in the top view of FIG. 3(a). However, the shape etc. of the take-out tool 40 are not particularly limited. Instead of the illustrated example, the width of the content removal part 41 may be wider than the handle part 42, or a recessed part for scooping out the content may be provided at the tip of the content removal part 41, and a spoon may be used. It may be configured in a shape such as a shape, a spoon shape, a scoop shape, etc.

Here, the spatula or spatula may also be used as an applicator for applying cosmetics such as liquid foundation or cream foundation, or for applying paint. That is, the take-out tool 40 of this embodiment can also be used as an applicator. When the take-out tool 40 is also used as an applicator in this way, it may be configured in a chip shape, a brush shape, etc., for example. In other words, the content extraction part 41 may have any form suitable for taking out an appropriate amount of the content stored in the content storage part 20, and when the extraction tool 40 is also used as an applicator, it can take out the content and also remove the content. It can be in a form suitable for applying objects.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3(b), the handle part 42 is movable in the length direction with respect to the connection base 44 connected to the content extraction part 41 and the connection base 44. It has a handle tip 45 provided therein, and an elastically deformable portion 46 that contracts when a pressing force is applied in the length direction and returns to its original shape when the pressing force is released.

The connection base 44 has a cylindrical shape with a bottom, and the content extraction part 41 is connected to the lower part of the connection base 44 . A pair of guide convex portions 44a that protrude outward in the radial direction are provided on the outer circumferential surface of the distal end side of the connecting base portion 44. Further, the upper side of the connection base 44 is provided with an enlarged diameter portion 44b having an enlarged inner diameter and a thinner wall thickness compared to the lower side.

The convex portion 43 is provided on the lower side of the connection base 44 so as to protrude outward from the outer surface of the connection base 44 . The convex portion 43 has a substantially circular shape when viewed from above, as shown in FIG. 3(a), and is configured to have a larger outer diameter than the handle tip portion 45. In the present embodiment, as described above, the content removal section 41 is configured to be flat and has a substantially rectangular cross-sectional shape. Further, as described above, the insertion port 13a has a substantially similar cross-sectional shape to the content removal portion 41, and is formed into a substantially rectangular shape. By configuring the convex portion 43 to have a substantially circular shape when viewed from above, when the content removal portion 41 is inserted into the insertion port 13a, the removal tool 40 is prevented from tilting, and the posture of the removal tool 40 is maintained stably. , can be accommodated in the take-out tool accommodating section 30. Furthermore, since the portion above the convex portion 43 is not inserted into the insertion port 13a, when the take-out tool 40 is accommodated in the take-out tool accommodating portion 30, the handle portion 42 protrudes above the insertion surface 13 (Fig. 1 and Figure 2).
In addition, the connection base 44 is integrally molded with the contents removal part 41 and the convex part 43.

As shown in FIGS. 3 to 6, the handle tip 45 is constructed separately from the connection base 44. As shown in FIGS. Here, FIG. 4(a) is a sectional view showing only the handle tip 45, and FIG. 4(b) is a bottom view of the handle tip 45. As shown in FIG. 4(a), the handle tip 45 has a cylindrical shape with a ceiling, and the top portion has a dome shape (semispherical shape). A reinforcing rib 45a is provided in the shape of a cross on the inside of the top surface portion. As shown in FIG. 3(b) etc., the inner diameter of the handle tip 45 is larger than the outer diameter of the connection base 44, and the handle tip 45 is inserted into the connection base 44 so as to be vertically movable. has been done.

As shown in FIG. 4(a), a pair of guide vertical grooves 45b corresponding to the guide protrusions 44a are provided on the inner circumferential surface of the handle tip 45. Here, FIGS. 5(b) and 6(b) are enlarged cross-sectional views of the handle portion 42, and FIGS. 5(a) and 6(a) are respectively FIGS. 5(b) and 6(a). They are a sectional view taken along line CC and a sectional view taken taken along line DD in FIG. 6(b). As shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, the guide longitudinal groove 45b is provided as a concave groove on the inner circumferential surface of the handle tip 45, and extends in the length direction. By inserting the guide protrusion 44a into the guide longitudinal groove 45b, the state shown in FIG. 5 is achieved, and the handle tip 45 can be moved up and down in the length direction.

Further, as shown in FIG. 4(a), a guide circumferential groove 45c is provided on the lower end side in the longitudinal direction of the guide vertical groove 45b, which is provided in the circumferential direction along the inner circumferential surface of the handle tip 45. ing. The guide circumferential groove 45c is formed as a concave groove on the inner circumferential surface of the handle tip 45. The starting end side of the guide circumferential groove 45c communicates with the lower end side of the guide vertical groove 45b. When the handle tip 45 is rotated relative to the connecting base 44 when the guide convex portion 44a is located at the communication portion (intersection) between the guide vertical groove 45b and the guide circumferential groove 45c, the guide is rotated as shown in FIG. The convex portion 44a moves from the starting end side to the terminal end side of the guide circumferential groove 45c. As shown in FIG. 6, when the guide protrusion 44a moves to the guide circumferential groove 45c, vertical movement of the handle tip 45 in the length direction is suppressed.

Although not shown in the present embodiment, a rotation stop portion may be provided on the terminal end side of the guide circumferential groove 45c. The guide circumferential groove 45c is also configured as a groove. For example, a convex portion protruding from the inner wall surface of the guide circumferential groove 45c can be provided and this can be used as a rotation stopper. However, it is preferable that such a convex portion has a height such that the guide convex portion 44a can overcome it by intentionally applying force in the direction of rotation. By providing the rotation stopper, it is possible to prevent the guide convex portion 44a from moving from the terminal end side of the guide circumferential groove 45c toward the start end side unless a force in the rotational direction is intentionally applied.

Here, the lower end of the guide vertical groove 45b is an open end 45d. When assembling the take-out tool 40, the guide protrusion 44a is positioned at the open end 45d of the guide longitudinal groove 45b, the handle tip 45 is placed over the connection base 44, and the handle tip 45 is moved downward in the longitudinal direction. By pushing, the guide protrusion 44a can be inserted into the guide longitudinal groove 45b. At this time, the guide protrusion 44a is also inserted into the guide circumferential groove 45c, which is a concave groove, and is prevented from coming off.

Next, the elastic deformation portion 46 will be explained. As shown in FIGS. 3 to 6, etc., an elastic deformation portion 46 is housed inside the connection base 44 and the handle tip 45. As shown in FIGS. In this embodiment, the elastic deformation portion 46 is constituted by a compression spring. The lower end of the elastically deformable portion 46 in the length direction is in contact with the bottom surface of the connection base 44, and the upper end is in contact with a reinforcing rib 45a provided on the top surface of the handle tip 45.

The natural length of the elastic deformation portion 46 corresponds to the maximum length when the handle tip portion 45 is extended in the length direction with respect to the connection base 44. When a pressing force is applied to the elastically deformable portion 46, that is, a longitudinal compressive force generated when pressing the handle tip portion 45 toward the connection base 44, the elastically deformable portion 46 elastically deforms and contracts. Further, when the pressing force is released, the elastically deformable portion 46 is restored and returns to its original shape. That is, in the present embodiment, the handle portion 42 reaches its maximum length when no pressing force is applied to the handle tip portion 45 toward the connection base 44 side. At this time, by rotating the handle tip 45 and moving the guide convex part 44a into the guide circumferential groove 45c, it is possible to prevent a pressing force from being applied to the elastic deformation part 46, and the handle part 42 can be maintained at maximum length.

Next, referring to FIG. 1 again, the lid 50 will be described. The lid 50 includes a substantially disc-shaped top wall 51 , a substantially cylindrical lid outer peripheral wall 52 hanging from the outer edge of the top wall 51 , and a top wall 51 on the inside of the lid outer peripheral wall 52 . The lid has a substantially cylindrical inner circumferential wall 53 extending vertically from the inner surface of the lid. The top wall portion 51 covers the opening surface 21 of the contents storage section 20 and the upper surface of the insertion surface 13 of the removal tool storage section 30. The lid inner circumferential wall portion 53 is fitted onto the circumferential wall portion 11b of the inner container portion 11. The above-described threaded portion 53a is provided on the inner peripheral surface of the lid inner peripheral wall portion 53, and is screwed into the threaded portion 11c. The outer circumferential lid wall 52 has a larger diameter than the inner circumferential lid wall 53 and is formed to have approximately the same outer diameter as the outer wall 14 of the container body 10 . Further, a sealing member 54 is provided on the inner surface of the top wall portion 51 and inside the lid inner circumferential wall portion 53. When attached to the container body 10, the sealing member 54 is sandwiched between the top wall portion 51 and the upper end of the lid inner circumferential wall portion 53, and the top surface of the inner container portion 11 is sealed.

In the container 100 with a take-out tool configured as described above, when the lid 50 is attached to the container body 10, the take-out tool 40 is attached to the inner surface of the top wall 51 of the lid 50, as shown in FIG. The top surface of the handle tip 45 comes into contact with the handle. At this time, the convex portion 43 is locked to the insertion surface 13, thereby suppressing downward movement of the connecting base 44 in the length direction. Therefore, a pressing force is applied to the elastically deformable portion 46, the elastically deformable portion 46 contracts, and the handle portion 42 is in a contracted state.

When the lid 50 is removed from the state shown in FIG. 1 by turning it in the reverse direction, the contact between the lid 50 and the handle tip 45 of the take-out tool 40 is released. Therefore, the pressing force applied to the elastically deformable portion 46 is released, and the elastically deformable portion 46 restores its original shape and returns to its natural length. As the elastically deformable portion 46 returns to its original state, the handle tip 45 is pushed upward relative to the connecting base 44, and the handle 42 is expanded to the state shown in FIG. 2(a).

While the handle portion 42 is extended in this manner, the guide convex portion 44a provided on the connection base portion 44 moves from the upper end side of the guide vertical groove 45b toward the lower end side, and moves upward in the length direction of the handle tip portion 45. Guide you to move to. When the handle portion 42 is extended to its maximum length, the guide convex portion 44a moves to the communicating portion between the guide vertical groove 45b and the guide circumferential groove 45c, resulting in the state shown in FIGS. 5(a) and 5(b). . As described above, since the guide convex portion 44a is prevented from coming off from the guide longitudinal groove 45b, the handle portion 42 is grasped and the take-out tool 40 is removed from the take-out tool accommodating portion 30 as shown in FIG. 2(b). By pulling upward, the extraction tool 40 can be removed from the insertion port 13a.

Then, when the handle tip 45 is rotated relative to the connection base 44, as shown in FIGS. 6(a) and 6(b), the guide convex portion 44a moves from the communicating portion to the inside of the guide circumferential groove 45c toward the terminal end. move towards. As a result, even if a pressing force is applied to the handle tip 45, the downward movement in the longitudinal direction of the handle tip 45 is suppressed, and elastic deformation of the elastic deformation portion 46 can be suppressed. In this state, the contents can be taken out by inserting the contents removal part 41 side of the removal tool 40 into the contents storage part 20 and scooping out the contents.

When storing the take-out tool 40 in the take-out tool accommodating portion 30, the handle tip 45 is rotated in the opposite direction to the above with respect to the connection base 44, and the guide convex portion 44a is moved to the terminal end side of the guide circumferential groove 45c. Move it toward the starting end. When the guide convex portion 44a moves to a portion communicating with the guide longitudinal groove 45b, the handle tip portion 45 becomes movable in the length direction with respect to the connection base 44. In this state, as shown in FIG. 2(b), the content removal part 41 side is inserted into the insertion opening 13a of the removal tool accommodating part 30. When the lower end of the convex portion 43 provided at the connecting portion between the content retrieval portion 41 and the handle portion 42 comes into contact with the insertion surface 13, the extraction tool 40 is supported by the insertion surface 13 via the convex portion 43.

When the lid 50 is attached to the container body 10 in this state, the top surface of the handle tip 45 is pressed downward in the length direction by the top wall 51 of the lid 50. At this time, the convex portion 43 prevents the contents removal portion 41 from moving downward any further, so the pressing force applied to the handle tip portion 45 acts on the elastic deformation portion 46, causing the elastic deformation portion 46 to contract. Then, the handle tip 45 moves downward in the length direction while being urged upward by the elastic deformation section 46.

As explained above, according to the container 100 with a take-out tool of the first embodiment, the take-out tool 40 can be accommodated in the take-out tool accommodating portion 30 provided in the container body 10. There is no need to carry the container separately from the container body 10, and it is easy to use.
Further, the take-out tool 40 has a content take-out part 41 and a handle part 42, and the handle part 42 is provided with an elastic deformation part 46, so that when a pressing force is applied to the handle part 42, the handle part 42 is moved. Since it contracts in the length direction, the length can be shortened when the take-out tool 40 is accommodated in the take-out tool accommodating section 30, and the length can be increased when in use. Therefore, the maximum length of the take-out tool 40 can be made longer than before. Therefore, it is possible to realize the take-out tool 40 that is easy to hold and that allows the contents to be easily taken out even when the amount of contents decreases.

Furthermore, by covering the take-out tool accommodating section 30 with the lid body 50, a pressing force is applied to the elastic deformation section 46, and by opening the take-out tool accommodating section 30 by removing the lid body 50, etc., the elastic deformation section 46 The pressing force that was acting on this can be released. Therefore, the handle portion 42 can be expanded and contracted by attaching and detaching the lid body 50, and the effort required to expand and contract the handle portion 42 is also unnecessary, further improving usability.

Further, in the first embodiment, the handle portion 42 of the take-out tool 40 is composed of two parts: a connecting base 44 and a handle tip portion 45 that is provided so as to be movable in the length direction with respect to the connecting base 44. The elastically deformable portion 46, which is configured using, for example, a compression spring, is accommodated in the space inside the connection base 44 and the handle tip 45, so that the elastically deformable portion 46 is not exposed to the outside. The take-out tool 40 can have a neat appearance.
