[0006]

Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. 1 to 6 show an example of a portable accessory container with a cap used as a lighter case. FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view thereof, and FIG. 2 is a front view showing a state where the cap 4 is fitted on the upper end portion of the container body 1. FIG. 3 is a side view of the same, and FIG. 4 is a vertical sectional view of the same. FIG. 5 shows a state where the lighter 6 is inserted into the container body 1 and the cap 4 is opened to the side, and FIG. 6 shows a state where the cap 4 is fitted on the bottom side of the container body 1. The small portable container with a cap of this example has a container body 1 and a cap 4. The lower end of the container body 1 is closed and the upper end thereof is opened, and the upper end opening edge is substantially aligned with the upper end of the lighter 6 as shown in FIG. 5 and the air suction portion of the ignition portion of the lighter 6 is opened. It is formed in. The container body 1 has an elliptical cross section, and cap guide means 2 are formed as slits on both sides in the width direction. The cap guide means 2 penetrates the container body 1 and is formed parallel to the axis thereof. The upper and lower ends of the cap guide means 2 end at the lower and upper parts of the container body 1.

Next, the inner periphery of the cap 4 is substantially aligned with the outer periphery of the container main body 1, and the cap 4 is formed so that the upper end opening and the lower end closing part of the container main body 1 can be fitted respectively. One end of the cap 4 is closed, and a pair of tongue pieces 3 are arranged to face each other at an opening at the other end, and an engaging projection 5 is integrally protruded from the inner surface of the tip of the tongue piece 3. The engagement protrusion 5 matches the slit width of the cap guide means 2. The pair of tongue pieces 3 are configured to be elastically deformable on their opposite sides, and the gap between the pair of tongue pieces 3 is formed slightly smaller than the short-axis diameter of the cross section of the container body 1 in a free state. Have been. Then, the width of the pair of tongue pieces 3 is slightly elastically deformed, and the engaging projections 5 are loosely fitted to the respective cap guide means 2. Then, as shown in FIG. 5, a lighter 6 is fitted inside the container body 1.

In order to fit the cap 4 on the upper side of the container body 1, in FIG. 5, the cap 4 is rotated counterclockwise around the engaging projection 5 so that the axis of the cap 4 coincides with the axis of the container body 1. And then pull it down. Then, the engaging projection 5 is guided by the cap guide means 2 and covers the upper portion of the container body 1 as shown in FIGS. At this time, the cap guide means 2 composed of a slit is covered by the cap 4. Next, to open the cap 4, the cap 4 is pulled up in the axial direction with respect to the container body 1, and then the cap 4 is rotated around the engagement projection 5 at the upper end of the cap guide means 2. . In order to fit the cap 4 from the state of FIG. 5 to the lower side of the container body 1 as shown in FIG. 6, the cap 4 is guided downward by the cap guide means 2 and then pulled down around the engaging projection 5. By rotating the cap 4 clockwise to the right, the axis of the cap 4 and the axis of the container body 1 are aligned below the cap 4, and then the cap 4 may be lifted upward. Thus, the upper end of the container body 1 can be opened in a state where the cap 4 and the container body 1 are compactly integrated, and the lighter 6 can be ignited. Also at this time, the cap guide means 2 composed of a slit is covered by the cap 4.

Next, FIG. 7 shows a portable accessory container with a cap according to the present invention as a lipstick container. In this example, the cap guide means 2 is formed in a groove shape, and the cross sections of the container body 1 and the cap 4 are each formed in a circular cylindrical shape. The inner cylinder 7b is mounted on the container body 1, and the lipstick 7 is stored in the inner cylinder 7b. By rotating the rotating portion 7a of the inner cylinder 7b with respect to the container body 1, the lipstick 7 is protruded freely through a lifting member or the like (not shown) screwed thereto. Since the lipstick lifting mechanism is known, the details are omitted. The opening / closing operation of the cap 4 is performed in the same manner as the lighter case.

Next, FIG. 8 shows an example of a portable accessory container with a cap as a perfume sprayer. A pump 8 is protruded from the upper end of the container body 1, and a nozzle 9 is provided on the outer periphery of the upper end of the pump 8. ing. By moving the upper end face of the pump 8 up and down with a finger, the perfume 10 in the container body 1 is jetted from the nozzle 9. Since this injection mechanism is known, detailed description thereof will be omitted. Preferably, as the perfume sprayer, the container body 1 is made of a transparent plastic material so that the remaining amount of the perfume 10 can be known from the outside. In the lighter case, the lipstick container, and the perfume sprayer, the material of the container body 1 and the cap 4 can be made of a metal material or a synthetic resin molded body.

Next, FIG. 9 shows an example of a portable accessory with a cap as a ballpoint pen which is a writing instrument. In this example, the accessory main body 1a is formed to be elongated as the ballpoint pen main body. At a position 180 degrees apart from the outer periphery of the main body 1a, there is provided a cap guide means 2 comprising a pair of elongated grooves. The elongated cap 4 fitted to the main body 1a has an opening aligned with the outer periphery of both ends of the main body 1a, one end in the longitudinal direction is closed, and a pair of tongues opposing each other at the opening edge. One piece 3 is protruded. Further, a pair of engaging projections 5 are protruded from the inner surface of each of the tongue pieces 3, and the engaging projections 5 are loosely fitted in the elongated grooves, and are slidably and rotatably guided therein. Things.

[Functions and effects of the invention]

 In the portable small container with a cap according to the present invention, the engaging projection 5 provided on the inner surface of the tongue piece 3 of the cap 4 is slidably provided on the cap guide means 2 of the container body 1. Since it is configured to be rotatably guided, the cap 4 can be held in the container body 1 when the cap 4 is opened, and there is no risk of loss. At the same time, the cap 4 can be moved and rotated in the longitudinal direction of the container body 1. Since the upper part of the container body can be opened while the opening of the cap 4 is fitted to the other end of the container body 1, the appearance of the container can be kept compact and the whole can be held compactly. It becomes a small accessory container.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the first aspect, the cap guide means 2 comprises a pair of elongated grooves or slits 180 degrees apart from each other on the outer periphery of the container body 1. A pair of tongue pieces 3 are provided, and a pair of engaging projections 5 are formed on the inner surface of each tongue piece 3. Therefore, when the cap 4 is opened and closed, the cap guide means 2 slides and rotates the cap extremely smoothly. And it can be done easily. Further, when the cap 4 is attached to the opening side of the container body 1, the cap 4 covers the pair of elongated grooves or slits, so that the appearance is very good.

In the portable accessory with a cap according to the fifth aspect, the cap for small articles such as a writing instrument can be held by the main body 1a when the cap is opened, and there is no risk of loss. At the same time, the cap 4 can be moved and rotated in the longitudinal direction of the main body 1a. The upper portion of the main body 1a can be opened while the opening of the cap 4 is fitted to the other end of the main body 1a. And small items.
