[0014]

[Embodiment of device]

  Hereinafter, the container of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. It

[0015]   FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a first embodiment of the container of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the first embodiment. It is a perspective view which shows the standing state of a container.

[0016]   As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the container 1 of the present invention includes a bottom plate 2 and an edge portion of the bottom plate 2. A peripheral wall (side wall) 3 is provided upright from the bottom plate 2 so as to surround the entire circumference.

[0017]   The bottom plate 2 has, for example, a circular shape, an elliptical shape, an oval shape, or the like. The peripheral wall 3 is the bottom The plate 2 is erected at an angle of approximately 90 °. The upper end of the peripheral wall 3 in FIG. A rim 4 is formed over the circumference. The height of the peripheral wall 3 is smaller than the diameter of the bottom plate 2. In this way, the container 1 has a flat shape as a whole.

[0018]   The angle of the peripheral wall 3 with respect to the bottom plate 2 is not limited to 90 ° (vertical), but may be, for example, 9 °. It may be inclined within a range of 0 ° ± 15 °.

[0019]   The constituent material of such a container 1 is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include polyethylene and poly. Various plastics such as propylene, polyvinyl chloride, AS resin, ABS resin (each Resin materials), stainless steel, tinplate, various metal materials such as aluminum alloys, wood Any material such as wood or bamboo may be used. In addition, the bottom plate 2 and the peripheral wall 3 of the container 1 , Even if they are integrally formed of the same material (for example, resin material), separate members are joined You can also use it.

[0020]   A part of the peripheral wall 3 of the container 1 as described above is provided with a recessed portion that is recessed toward the inside of the container 1. 5 is formed. The concave portion 5 is curved and protrudes in an arc shape toward the inside of the container 1. It has a shaped shape.

[0021]   By providing such a recessed portion 5, the container 1 has a recessed portion 5 as shown in FIG. Both end portions 51 and 52 of the ground contact the ground surface 8, such as the ground surface, floor surface, or top surface of the base, and It is possible to stand up (independently) and maintain the standing state.

[0022]   In addition, in FIG. 2, the container 1 maintains the standing state by itself, but this is not a limitation. Instead, for example, lean against a wall (not shown) that is perpendicular to the ground plane 8 (reverse the recess 5 of the bottom plate 2). The upright state may be maintained (the outer surface of the opposite side is in contact with the wall).

[0023]   In addition, in such a standing state, the container 1 has a liquid such as water inside the container 1. It is preferably configured so as not to accumulate. That is, in the standing state of the container 1. In addition, the small amount of liquid remaining in the container 1 travels along the inner surfaces of the bottom plate 2 and the peripheral wall 3. It flows down and gathers in the vicinity of the end portions 51 and 52 of the concave portion 5, and further, And the end portion 52 flows to the rim 4 side (the side opposite to the bottom plate 2) and is discharged (indicated by the arrow in FIG. 2). It is preferably configured as shown).

[0024]   As a result, when the container 1 is in the upright state (after using the container 1), This has an effect that liquid draining can be automatically performed. That is, Even if there is a small amount of liquid left in the container 1 after use, just make the container 1 stand up. Since the liquid is naturally discharged, there is no need to separately perform the draining operation, Since the liquid in the container 1 can be reduced or removed and the inside of the container 1 can be dried early. It is also advantageous in hygiene.

[0025]   FIG. 3 is a front view showing the structure of the recess in the second embodiment of the container of the present invention. . Hereinafter, the second embodiment will be described, but different points from the first embodiment Will be described, and description of similar matters will be omitted.

[0026]   In the container 1 shown in FIG. 3, the shape of the recess 6 formed in the peripheral wall 3 is the same as that of the first embodiment. Different from that. That is, the concave portion 6 has a substantially flat surface.

[0027]   FIG. 4 is a front view showing the structure of the recess in the third embodiment of the container of the present invention. . Hereinafter, the third embodiment will be described, but it is different from the first embodiment. Will be described, and description of similar matters will be omitted.

[0028]   In the container 1 shown in FIG. 4, the shape of the recess 7 formed in the peripheral wall 3 is the same as that of the first embodiment. Different from that. That is, the concave portion 7 has a wavy shape when viewed from the front. in this case, The wave shape is a so-called zigzag shape with sharp corners (tops of peaks and bottoms of valleys). It may be.

[0029]   The type, use, purpose of use, etc. of the container of the present invention are not particularly limited. Tub, washbasin, hand basin, tub (bath tub, etc.), bathtub, food container, excrement container, etc. , Any.

[0030]   The container of the present invention has been described above with reference to the illustrated embodiments. However, the configuration of each part is not limited to any structure capable of exhibiting the same function. Can be replaced with Moreover, the thing of arbitrary structures may be added.

[0031]

[Effect of device]

  As described above, according to the present invention, the container formed by grounding the recess formed in the peripheral wall is used. Can be placed upright. This allows the container to be stored when not in use. Storage and storage can be done in a smaller space.

[0032]   Further, when the container is erected, since the recess has a different shape from the other parts of the peripheral wall, The position of the recess can be found at a glance, and the operation of standing up can be performed easily. Wear.

[0033]   In addition, when the container is in the upright position, the liquid is not accumulated inside. When holding the container in an upright position, even if a small amount of liquid remains in the container, Since the liquid is naturally discharged into the container, it is possible to dry the inside of the container at an early stage. But it is advantageous.
