Description

本考案は、納豆容器に関し、更に詳しくは例えばカラシや出汁を入れた小袋と一緒に納豆を収納し、開封時は納豆をかき混ぜる器として使用できるよう形成した納豆容器に関するものである。 The present invention relates to a natto container, and more particularly to a natto container formed so that it can be used as a container for storing natto together with, for example, a sachet containing mustard and soup stock, and stirring the natto when opened.

従来この種の容器としては、例えば納豆を入れる部分と蓋とを、ヒンジ部を介して連接し、発泡スチロール樹脂で一体成形し、蓋を閉じた封緘状態において、容器表面のヒンジ部の近傍に、ヒンジ部と平行に破断し易い切り込みを入れたものがある（例えば特許文献１参照）。 Conventionally, as this type of container, for example, a part into which natto is placed and a lid are connected via a hinge part, integrally molded with a foamed polystyrene resin, and in a sealed state with the lid closed, in the vicinity of the hinge part on the container surface, There is one with a notch that is easy to break parallel to the hinge (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

ところで健常者にしてみれば些細で簡単、容易な開封作業であっても、身障者など手の不自由な者にとっては、その開封作業が非常に大変な場合がある。従ってこの種の容器は、手の不自由な者にとっても開封作業を、より簡単、容易にできるよう形成されているのが望ましい。
しかるに従来品は、上記の通り、切り込みをヒンジ部に形成しているのに過ぎなかったから、これによると切り込みに沿って蓋を切り離す操作が必要になり、身障者など手の不自由な者にとっては、この種の操作に手間暇がかかるのを避けられなかった。
特開２００２−１２２８３号公報 By the way, even if it is a trivial, simple and easy opening operation for a healthy person, the opening operation may be very difficult for a handicapped person such as a handicapped person. Therefore, it is desirable that this type of container be formed so that it can be opened and closed more easily by a handicapped person.
However, as described above, the conventional product only has a notch formed in the hinge portion as described above, and according to this, it is necessary to separate the lid along the notch, which is difficult for handicapped persons such as disabled people. It was inevitable that this kind of operation would take time and effort.
JP 2002-12283 A

本考案は、このような従来の実情に鑑みてなされたものである。
従って本考案の技術的課題は、健常者だけではなく身障者など手の不自由な人にとっても、簡単、容易に蓋を開くことができるよう形成した納豆容器を提供することにある。 The present invention has been made in view of such a conventional situation.
Therefore, the technical problem of the present invention is to provide a natto container formed so that the lid can be easily and easily opened not only for healthy persons but also for handicapped persons such as disabled persons.

本考案は、上記の課題を解決するために、次のような技術的手段を採る。
即ち本考案は、図１等に示されるように、納豆を収納する凹孔状の本体部１と、この本体部１の開口上面を閉塞する蓋２とがヒンジ部３を介して一体状に接続されると共に、本体部１と蓋２とが周辺にフランジ１ａ、２ａを有して形成されている発泡スチロール製の納豆容器であって、上記のヒンジ部３に、左右方向の両側の端部３ａを残して切れ目４が左右方向に延びて形成され、このヒンジ部３の両側の端部３ａの近傍で且つ本体部１と蓋２のフランジ１ａ、２ａの位置に、上記の切れ目４の端４ａより内方の位置まで延びて本体部１と蓋２のフランジ１ａ、２ａを閉蓋時に上下方向に貫通する切り欠き５が形成されていることを特徴とする（請求項１）。 The present invention employs the following technical means in order to solve the above problems.
That is, in the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1 and the like, a concave hole-shaped main body portion 1 for storing natto and a lid 2 for closing the upper surface of the main body portion 1 are integrally formed via a hinge portion 3. A Styrofoam natto container which is connected to the main body 1 and the lid 2 and has flanges 1a and 2a in the periphery thereof. The cut 4 is formed extending in the left-right direction, leaving 3a, and the end of the cut 4 is located near the ends 3a on both sides of the hinge 3 and at the positions of the flanges 1a, 2a of the main body 1 and the lid 2. A notch 5 is formed so as to extend inward from 4a and penetrate vertically through the flanges 1a and 2a of the main body 1 and the lid 2 (Claim 1).

ここで、切れ目４とは、切り離された箇所を意味し、具体的には線状やスリット状に切られることにより実現される。なお本考案の場合、本体部１及び蓋２は、発泡スチロールで形成されているのであれば、その外形状や厚さ等は任意である。 Here, the cut 4 means a part that has been cut off, and is specifically realized by being cut into a line shape or a slit shape. In the case of the present invention, as long as the main body 1 and the lid 2 are formed of foamed polystyrene, the outer shape, thickness, etc. thereof are arbitrary.

また本考案の場合、上記の切り欠き５は、切れ目４に沿って内方に直線状に延びるスリット部５ａと、このスリット部５ａの途中から入口側に向かってヒンジ部３から遠い側の側縁５ｂが徐々にヒンジ部３から遠ざけられて形成されている指掛かり部５ｃとで、平面から見て漏斗を二つ割りした形状に形成されているのが好ましい（請求項２）。 In the case of the present invention, the notch 5 includes a slit portion 5a extending linearly inward along the cut 4, and a side farther from the hinge portion 3 toward the entrance side from the middle of the slit portion 5a. It is preferable that the edge 5b is formed in a shape in which the funnel is divided into two when viewed from the plane, with the finger hook portion 5c formed by being gradually moved away from the hinge portion 3 (Claim 2).

なぜならこれによると、指掛かり部５ｃに指先を入れてヒンジ部３の側に僅かな力を加えるだけで端部３ａを欠いて開くことができ、開封作業をより簡単、確実にできるからである。 Because, according to this, it is possible to open the end 3a by simply inserting a fingertip into the finger hook portion 5c and applying a slight force to the hinge portion 3 side, and the opening operation can be performed more easily and reliably. .

本考案は、このように蓋と本体部とを切れ目と切り欠きとの間の僅かな部分で接続しているものであるから、ヒンジ部の両側の端部に少し力を加えるだけで、その接続状態を断つことができる。
従ってこれによると、身障者など手の不自由な人でも、簡単、容易に、且つ小さな力で蓋を本体部から切り離すことができる。 In the present invention, since the lid and the main body are thus connected at a slight portion between the cut and the notch, only a little force is applied to the ends on both sides of the hinge, so that The connection state can be cut off.
Therefore, according to this, even a handicapped person such as a handicapped person can easily and easily separate the lid from the main body with a small force.

以下、本考案の好適な一実施形態を、図１等に従って説明する。
１は、納豆を収納する凹孔状の本体部である。２は、この本体部１の開口上面を閉塞する蓋である。本体部１と蓋２とは、ヒンジ部３を介して一体状に接続されると共に、周辺にフランジ１ａ、２ａを有して発泡スチロールで形成されている。 Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.
1 is a concave-hole-shaped main-body part which accommodates natto. Reference numeral 2 denotes a lid for closing the upper surface of the opening of the main body 1. The main body 1 and the lid 2 are integrally connected via a hinge 3 and have flanges 1a and 2a in the periphery and are formed of foamed polystyrene.

而して上記のヒンジ部３には、左右方向の両側の端部３ａを残して切れ目４が左右方向に延びて形成されている。切れ目４は、この実施形態ではスリット状に形成されている。５は、本体部１と蓋２のフランジ１ａ、２ａを閉蓋時に上下方向に貫通する切り欠きである。この切り欠き５は、ヒンジ部３の両側の端部３ａの近傍で且つ本体部１と蓋２のフランジ１ａ、２ａの位置に、上記の切れ目４の端４ａより内方の位置まで延びて形成されている。またこの実施形態に係る切り欠き５は、切れ目４に沿って内方に直線状に延びるスリット部５ａと、このスリット部５ａの途中から入口側に向かってヒンジ部３から遠い側の側縁５ｂが徐々にヒンジ部３から遠ざけられて形成されている指掛かり部５ｃとで、平面から見て漏斗を二つ割りした形状に形成されている。 Thus, the hinge portion 3 is formed with a cut 4 extending in the left-right direction, leaving the ends 3a on both sides in the left-right direction. The cut 4 is formed in a slit shape in this embodiment. Reference numeral 5 denotes a notch that penetrates the main body 1 and the flanges 1a and 2a of the lid 2 in the vertical direction when the lid is closed. The notches 5 are formed in the vicinity of the end portions 3a on both sides of the hinge portion 3 and at the positions of the main body portion 1 and the flanges 1a and 2a of the lid 2 so as to extend inward from the end 4a of the cut 4 described above. Has been. Further, the cutout 5 according to this embodiment includes a slit portion 5a extending linearly inward along the cut 4, and a side edge 5b on the side farther from the hinge portion 3 from the middle of the slit portion 5a toward the entrance side. Is formed in a shape in which the funnel is divided into two when viewed from the plane, with the finger hook portion 5c formed being gradually moved away from the hinge portion 3.

次に本考案の容器の使用例を説明する。
先ず使用者は、指先を指掛かり部５ｃに入れ、次にヒンジ部３の側に少し力を加える。すると切れ目４と切り欠き５との接続箇所が破断し、ヒンジ部３の両端が欠け落ちる（図１Ａの鎖線状態、図５参照）。これにより蓋２が本体部１から離れ、本体部１の上面が開口する（図２、図６参照）。従って使用者は、この状態で納豆の表面を覆っている薄い透明フィルム片６（図２等参照）、からし袋７、出汁袋８を取り出し、カラシや出汁を納豆に入れて混ぜ、その後、空の袋等を裏返した蓋２に載せ、蓋２を一時的なゴミ置きとして使用する。 Next, the usage example of the container of this invention is demonstrated.
First, the user puts the fingertip into the finger hook portion 5c, and then applies a little force to the hinge portion 3 side. Then, the connection part of the cut 4 and the notch 5 is broken, and both ends of the hinge part 3 are dropped (see the chain line state in FIG. 1A, see FIG. 5). As a result, the lid 2 is separated from the main body 1 and the upper surface of the main body 1 is opened (see FIGS. 2 and 6). Therefore, the user takes out the thin transparent film piece 6 (see FIG. 2 etc.), the mustard bag 7 and the soup bag 8 that covers the surface of the natto in this state, mixes the mustard and soup stock in the natto, An empty bag or the like is placed on the lid 2 that is turned over, and the lid 2 is used as a temporary garbage holder.

以上の処において、本考案の場合、上記の切れ目４は、図８に示されるように、ヒンジ部３の中央部に平面から見て横長状に形成された切り欠き部４Ａと、上記と同様にヒンジ部の背にスリット状に形成された部分４Ｂとで形成されているのでも良い。
また本発明の場合、上記の切り欠き５の形状は、上例には限られない。即ち切り欠き５は、切れ目４の端４ａより内方の位置まで切り欠かれている状態であれば、その平面形状は任意である。 In the above-described case, in the case of the present invention, the cut 4 is the same as the cutout portion 4A formed in the center portion of the hinge portion 3 in a horizontally long shape as seen from the plane, as shown in FIG. Further, it may be formed by a portion 4B formed in a slit shape on the back of the hinge portion.
In the case of the present invention, the shape of the notch 5 is not limited to the above example. In other words, the planar shape of the cutout 5 is arbitrary as long as the cutout 5 is cut to an inner position from the end 4 a of the cut 4.
