DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS FIG. 1 is a front view showing a part of a storage container for storing a bullet of an airsoft gun as a storage container for granular material according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a side view thereof. In this figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a container body. The container body 1 is formed in a cylindrical shape by blow molding from a synthetic resin (usually, soft polyethylene).

An elongated throttle port 2 is integrally formed at an upper portion of the container body 1 so as to protrude therefrom. The interval w between the narrowest portions of the aperture 2 is formed to be smaller than the diameter of the bullet a.

A discharge nozzle 3 larger than the diameter of the bullet a is integrally formed on one upper side of the throttle port 2. The inner diameter of the discharge nozzle 3 is formed so as to be larger than the diameter of the bullet a and smaller than twice the diameter. The base 4 of the discharge nozzle 3 is formed in a bellows shape so that the angle of the discharge nozzle 3 can be changed.

A plate-like portion 5 extends to the other side of the upper portion of the throttle port 2, and a string-like portion 7 having a plug 6 (or a cap) and a plug receiver 8 are provided at the upper end of the plate-like portion 5. It is juxtaposed. The stopper 8 is formed in a cylindrical shape having the same size as the discharge nozzle 3. One end of the plug 6 is formed so as to be fittable in the discharge nozzle 3, and the other end is formed so as to be fittable in the plug receiver 8. A hook hole 9 is formed through the plate-shaped portion 5. The space between the plate portion 5 and the discharge nozzle 3 is formed so as to be narrow so that the bullet a cannot enter and exit.

Next, the bottom of the container body 1 is opened,
A bottom cover 10 is fitted into this opening. This bottom cover 1
Reference numeral 0 denotes a portion 10 which is separated when the original container 11 shown in FIG. 3 is blow-molded in advance and the bottom 11a is cut into a ring shape from the original container 11. That is, a first small-diameter portion 12 having a smaller diameter than the upper portion thereof is formed at a lower portion of the original shape container 11, and a first small-diameter portion 12a is formed on a side surface of the first small-diameter portion 12a.
An annular projection 13 is formed. A pair of bulging portions 1 protruding outward are provided on the upper side surface of the annular protruding portion 13.
The recess 4 and the recess 15 are formed so as to face each other. A second small-diameter portion 12b having a diameter substantially the same as or slightly smaller than the first small-diameter portion 12a is formed at a lower portion of the annular projection 13. The concave portion is formed on a side surface of the second small-diameter portion 12b. A pair of concave portions 16 and a pair of convex portions 17 corresponding to 15 are formed on opposite sides of each other.
The convex portion 17 is inclined downward toward the center,
The lower surface of the original container 11 also protrudes in a rib shape.

After molding, the original container 11 is
Is cut off from the lower edge of the container body 1 and separated into the container body 1 and the bottom lid 10, and an opening 18 (see FIG. 4) is formed at the bottom of the container body 1. When performing the blow molding, the plug 6 is connected to the discharge nozzle 3 and the plate-shaped portion 5 by the connecting portion 20, and after the molding, the connecting portion 20 is removed and the tip of the discharge nozzle 3 is opened. However, the connecting portion 20a is left immediately after the molding, and is separated by the user at the start of use.

The bottom lid is not limited to the one separated from the original container 11. Ready-made ones may be used.

In order to fill the storage container with the above-mentioned structure with the bullet a, the container body 1 is first turned over, and as shown in FIG. 4, the bullet a is filled through the opening 18 largely opened at the bottom. After filling, the bottom cover 10 is pushed in from the opening 18. In this case, the protrusion 17 of the bottom cover 10 may be inserted in accordance with the protrusion 14 at the bottom of the container body 1. The convex portion 17 of the bottom cover 10 is easy to insert because it is inclined. Then, the annular projection 13 is inserted inside the opening edge 19 of the container body 1. At this time, the convex portion 17 of the bottom cover 10 exceeds the bulging portion 14 of the container body 1, and the concave portion 16 of the bottom cover 10 fits into the concave portion 15 of the container body 1. Then, when the bottom cover 10 is slightly rotated, the convex portion 17 of the bottom cover 10 engages with the upper end of the first small diameter portion 12a of the container body 1 as shown in FIG.
And the recess 16 are fitted to each other, so that the bottom cover 10 is prevented from coming off and coming off. Further, in order to ensure that the bottom cover 10 is prevented from coming off, the container main body 1 and the small diameter portions 12a and 12b of the bottom cover 10 that are overlapped with each other may be stapled. Stopper 6
Is preferably fitted to the discharge nozzle 3 and closed.

Next, when discharging the bullets a in the storage container, the connecting portion 20a is removed, and both ends of the upper opening 2 of the container main body 1 are pushed inward with fingers as shown in FIG. The aperture 2 is expanded so that the bullet a in the container body 1 is opened.
May be moved to the discharge nozzle 3. Since the inner diameter of the discharge nozzle 3 is larger than the diameter of the bullet a and smaller than twice the diameter, the bullet a is discharged one by one. Also, since only one bullet a can enter the discharge nozzle 3 from the container body 1 at a time, the bullets a are aligned and discharged smoothly in the discharge nozzle 3 and do not become clogged inside. For this reason, the bullet a can be accurately charged and filled even in a narrow position such as a magazine of a soft air gun. After the discharge, the stopper 6 may be fitted into the stopper receiver 8. Since the stopper 6 is connected to the string-like portion 7,
Even if it comes off from the discharge nozzle 3 or the stopper 8, it will not be lost.

As described above, the storage container uses a single mold, and the container body 1, the discharge nozzle 3, and the throttle port 2 can be integrally formed by blow molding using a soft synthetic resin as a material. Can be produced. Moreover, in the case of blow molding, since the stopper 6 can also be integrally molded, it is not necessary to form a screw portion in the discharge nozzle 3. For this reason, the thickness can be reduced, so that the production can be performed at a lower cost.

Moreover, since the discharge nozzle 3 does not come off the container body 1, there is no inconvenience that the bullet a in the container body 1 spills out at once.

When discharging the bullets a from the storage container, the inner diameter of the discharge nozzle 3 is larger than the diameter of the bullet a and smaller than twice the diameter of the bullet a, so that the bullets a are discharged one by one. . Also, since only one bullet a can enter into the discharge nozzle 3 from the container body 1 at a time, the bullets a are aligned and discharged smoothly in the discharge nozzle 3 without clogging inside the nozzle. For this reason, the bullet a can be accurately charged and filled even in a narrow position such as a magazine of a soft air gun. If the projecting amount of the bullet a is adjusted by adjusting the degree of opening of the throttle port 2, the discharge becomes even smoother.

When the above-mentioned container is filled with the bullet a, an opening 18 which is largely open at the bottom of the container body 1 is provided.
Can be filled from a short time.

Furthermore, since the throttle port 2 is usually smaller than the diameter of the bullet a, even if the stopper 6 comes off from the discharge nozzle 3, the bullet a in the container body 1 is effectively prevented from spilling out. be able to.

The storage container can be conveniently fastened to a hook provided at the sales floor of the store by using a hook hole 9, and a string or the like can be passed through the hook hole 9 during a battle game or the like. It is convenient to carry because it can be hung on the neck or waist of the player with a string or the like.

Although the above-described storage container is shown for a bullet in the above example, it is not necessarily limited to a bullet. Any granular material may be used. For example, it may be a confectionery or the like.
