DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a condom in a container for sale in a vending machine.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art It is conventionally known that a contraceptive device such as a condom is housed in a can of an appropriate size and can be sold by a vending machine.

[0003]

However, in conventional canned condoms, the weight of the products contained in the cans is extremely light, and the total weight of the canned condoms when configured as a can is only a little less than 100 grams. As a result, when stored in a vending machine, it often happens that the product cannot drop from its fall guide groove under its own weight, causing trouble that sales cannot be performed.

[0004] In order to solve these problems, a heavy object such as soap is enclosed in a can to increase the weight, or the size of the can as a container is formed to be the size of the drop guide groove of a vending machine. However, in the former case, there is a problem that the smell of soap adheres to the condom, and in the latter case, it becomes a container. It has been pointed out that its large outer diameter makes it inconvenient to carry.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problem, to prevent an increase in cost due to enclosing extra articles, and to accurately drop along the drop guide groove of a vending machine. The purpose is to provide a condom in a container configured so that it can be.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention constitutes a closed container in which the openings of two cups made of synthetic resin are opposed to each other, and the two openings are detachably screwed and integrated. However, in a container containing a bag-shaped condom inside, a container-type condom formed by adhering and integrating a weight increasing plate for increasing the weight of the container on the bottom plate of the container is an essential point of the invention. I have.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

A container generally indicated by A is formed by using a synthetic resin such as polypropylene, and the opening portions of two cup-shaped containers 1 and 1 having one end portions as opening portions 11 and 11, respectively. The openings 11 and 11 are detachably screwed and integrated with each other, with the portions 11 and 11 facing each other.

The two containers 1, 1 for detachably screwing and integrating the openings 11, 11 are provided with a thread 12 for screwing around the outer periphery of one container opening 11, and the other opening. A thread groove 13 into which the thread 12 can be screwed is cut out on the inner periphery of 11. (See Figure 2)

The size of the container 1, 1 is such that it is formed as a cylindrical body having an outer diameter suitable for accommodating the condoms 3,... The synthetic resin has a thickness of 2 mm and the container 1 has an outer diameter of about 50 mm.

Reference numerals 2 and 2 denote weight-increasing plates attached to the insides of the bottom plates 14 and 14 of the containers 1 and 1, respectively, so that the container A can fall down the drop guide groove of the vending machine (not shown) by its own weight. A metal plate or the like having a weight of, for example, about 60 grams is attached and integrated with an adhesive or the like.

In the embodiment, the weight increasing plate 2 is connected to the bottom plate 14.
However, the structure is not limited to this structure and can be applied to the outer surface of the bottom plate 14.

[0013]

According to the present invention, as described above, the container A is made of a combination of two containers 1, 1 made of a synthetic resin and formed in a cup shape, and the openings 11, 11 of the containers 1, 1 are detachable. And the bottom plates 14, 14 of the respective containers 1, 1
Has a structure in which the weight increase plates 2 and 2 are attached, so that the total weight of the containers 1 and 1 and the condoms 3. By attaching the weight increase plates 2 and 2, it is possible to increase the guide drop groove of the vending machine to the weight (about 170 g) that can be dropped by its own weight. It became possible to completely avoid the occurrence of troubles that would make it impossible to take out.

Further, according to the present invention, since the containers 1 and 1 are made of synthetic resin and the weight increasing plates 2 and 2 are attached thereto, the outer diameter of the container 1 can be freely selected. By making the outside diameter as small as 50 mm,
It is possible to exhibit excellent effects such as convenience of carrying by the purchaser.

Since the container A is screwed into the openings 11 and 11 of the two cup-shaped containers 1 and 1, the entire container A has a well-balanced structure, and the weight of the container A deviates to one side. This has the advantage of avoiding the occurrence of
