Abstract

(57) [Abstract] [PROBLEMS] To obtain a fit, a firmness, and a close contact feeling when holding a beverage can container or the like. A finger pad is formed at a position on the finger pad of the thumb when the mouth is attached to the beverage can container.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a small can, bottle container, etc. for containing drinking water and seasonings.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, a container for drinking water is formed of iron, aluminum, a bite, glass or the like in a cylindrical shape or a prismatic shape, and an opening is provided in a part of the upper lid, or the entire upper lid is an opening. Has been used.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 In the case of a conventional cylindrical can container, its horizontal section is circular. There are two ways to hold it: holding it with the whole hand and holding it only with your fingers. In the former case, the first finger and the opposing second to fifth fingers can grab the side of the can from the proximal node to the distal node on the palm of the finger due to the range of motion of the joint. In the latter, the can is held by using the finger pad of the first finger and the finger pad of the second to fifth fingers or the first joint facing it.

The present invention relates to the latter case of holding with fingers. Anatomically, the finger pad consists of the palm side from the tip of the finger to the first joint, and has a convex shape on the palm side. The cross section of the can is convex outward. When it is held with a finger, the convex surface of the finger pad collides with the convex surface of the can, but in reality, due to the presence of soft tissue, the finger pad is deformed to a certain extent and conforms to the convex surface of the can. To achieve. However, the confrontation between the convex surface and the convex surface is disadvantageous in terms of human engineering, and there is room for improvement. The first finger is a very important part of the five fingers that serves as an axis. However, since the range of the finger pad is particularly long compared to the finger pad from the second finger to the fourth finger, the deformation range of the soft tissue of the finger that is adapted to the curved surface of the can becomes relatively long. As a result, the cylindrical structure sacrifices a considerable fit, fit or fit when held with the fingers.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems of the conventional technology. The purpose of the present invention is to improve the conventional ergonomically disadvantageous shape and improve the fit feeling. It is to obtain a feeling of closeness or closeness and to be able to hold it comfortably.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above object, in the present invention, a finger pressure mark (curved surface), a valley-shaped recess or a finger contact surface (flat surface) is formed on the side of the can on the finger pad of the first finger (thumb). An indentation is an extremely shallow concave surface.

[0007]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 An embodiment of the invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the case of an indentation (Figs. 1 and 2), an indentation of a level from the flat surface to the curvature corresponding to the radius of curvature of the finger pad can be considered, but an extremely shallow recessed surface is sufficient. On the other hand, if the curvature is such that the finger can be inserted, the degree of freedom of the finger is impaired, which has the opposite effect. Similarly, in the case of a valley depression (Fig. 3) and a finger contact surface (flat surface) (Fig. 4), the depth from the side surface of the can may be extremely shallow. Since the length of the finger pad from the 2nd finger to the 5th finger is shorter than that of the 1st finger, the finger contact surface is unnecessary for them, and the 1st finger is an important part of the axis. There is only one for the first finger. Therefore, it is necessary to align the finger contact surface with the side surface of the sagittal line of the mouth. In addition, since beverage cans and bottles are not so heavy in nature, they are different from the structure for preventing slipping from the hands, such as the actual Kaihei 06-018218, and their meaning, physical action and form. Is completely different. Since the indentations and recesses of the present invention are extremely shallow, they do not prevent them from falling, and there is no need to prevent them because the single-use beverage container itself is not very heavy.

[0008]

[Effect of the invention]

 The invention creates a fit, fit and fit when holding the container. In addition, the position of the thumb can be known by the feeling of the finger. Therefore, since the position of the opening can be inferred, it is possible to carry the opening of the can to the mouth without disturbing the line of sight while driving the car, which also contributes to safety.
