Abstract

An object of the present invention is to prevent the liquid contents from flowing out and the container from being damaged by overturning by making the container difficult to overturn.
In a container comprising a cylindrical neck having an opening on the upper surface and a barrel portion swelled in a substantially spherical shape, the bottom surface of the barrel portion is formed into a substantially spherical shape. By forming the thickness L <b> 2 of 21 greater than the thickness L <b> 1 of the side surface 22, the center of gravity is positioned on the bottom surface 21.

Description

  The present invention relates to a container, and more particularly to a container that can be suitably used for containing liquid contents, such as liquid seasonings such as soy sauce and sauce, and liquid cosmetics such as perfume and lotion.

  Conventionally, in containers in which liquid contents such as liquid seasonings are placed, it has been regarded as a problem that the liquid contents are likely to flow out when the container falls.

  Therefore, in Patent Document 1, by providing a contact portion having a friction function for restricting the movement of the container on the bottom surface of the synthetic resin hollow container, the container is prevented from overturning and the liquid content is prevented from flowing out. Has been proposed.

  Moreover, even when the container falls, as a technique for preventing the liquid content from flowing out from the opening (pouring spout) provided on the upper surface of the container, it is described in Patent Document 2 and Patent Document 3. Technology has been proposed.

  In Patent Document 2, a weight is provided on the side opposite to the protruding direction of the spout provided on the upper surface of the container, and when the container falls, the spout is always positioned on the upper surface. It has been proposed to minimize the outflow of liquid contents from the spout even if the container falls.

In Patent Document 3, a spill-proof piece is provided on the outside of the container, and when the container falls, the spout is held higher than the liquid level of the liquid content placed in the container. It has been proposed to minimize the outflow of liquid contents from the spout even if the container falls.

  However, in the container described in Patent Document 1 described above, once the container is tilted by applying an external force exceeding the allowable range to the contact portion provided on the bottom surface, the container easily tilts as it is, so that the liquid content is prevented from flowing out due to the falling. There was room for further improvement.

  On the other hand, in the containers described in Patent Document 2 and Patent Document 3 described above, since both of them were made for the purpose of minimizing the outflow of the liquid contents when the container falls, There is room for further improvement in terms of preventing the outflow of the contents, and when a container is made of a material such as fragile glass or ceramics, there is a problem that it easily breaks due to falling.

  Then, this invention is made | formed in view of the said situation, and makes it a subject to provide the container which can prevent the outflow and breakage | damage of the liquid content by a fall.

  In order to solve such a problem, the present invention is a substantially spherical container having an opening on the upper surface, wherein the bottom surface is substantially spherical, and the center of gravity is located on the bottom surface. A container is provided.

  According to the container of the present invention, the bottom surface has a substantially spherical shape, and the center of gravity is positioned on the bottom surface, so that the bottom surface can swing freely and the top surface is always held in a direction substantially perpendicular to the bottom surface. Therefore, even if the container is tilted, it rises so that the upper surface of the container is held in a substantially vertical direction with respect to the bottom surface without falling down.

Therefore, since the container of the present invention is not easily toppled, it is possible to prevent the liquid content from flowing out and the container from being damaged by the falling.
Therefore, the container of the present invention can be suitably used as a container for containing liquid contents such as soy sauce and sauce, and liquid cosmetics such as perfume and lotion, which easily flow out when the container falls. . In addition, the container of the present invention can be suitably made of a fragile material such as glass or earthenware.

  Here, in the container of the present invention, as a means for configuring the center of gravity to be located on the bottom surface, it is formed so that the thickness gradually increases from the side surface toward the bottom surface. Also, it may be formed thick.

  According to the container of the present invention, in the substantially spherical container, the bottom surface has a substantially spherical shape, and the center of gravity is positioned on the bottom surface. Since it rises so as to be held in the vertical direction, it is difficult to fall down, and it is possible to prevent the liquid content from flowing out and the container from being damaged due to the fall.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

<Embodiment>
1A and 1B show a configuration example of a container according to the present invention. FIG. 1A is a perspective view, and FIG. 1B is a longitudinal sectional view of FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the container 10 in the present embodiment is a glass container including a cylindrical neck 1 and a body 2 that swells in a substantially spherical shape and has a substantially spherical bottom surface 21. The liquid content can be put into the inside through an opening provided on the upper surface of the.

  Moreover, the thickness of the trunk | drum 2 is formed so that it may become thick gradually toward the bottom face 21 from the side surface 22, and the thickness L2 of the part which makes the bottom face 21 is formed thicker than the thickness L1 of the part which makes the side face 22. Yes. Thereby, it is comprised so that a gravity center may be located in the bottom face 21 of the container 10. FIG.

  Furthermore, the lid portion 3 having the spout 31 for the liquid contents put in the container 10 is detachably screwed to the neck portion 1.

  That is, since the container 10 is configured so that the bottom surface 21 is substantially spherical and the center of gravity is located on the bottom surface 21, the bottom surface 21 is swingable, and the neck 1 is always substantially perpendicular to the bottom surface 21. The holding force is applied so that For this reason, even if the container 10 is inclined as shown in FIG. 2A, the container 10 rises up itself as shown in FIG. 2B, and the neck 1 of the container 10 is positioned in a substantially vertical direction with respect to the bottom surface 21. To be held.

  Therefore, according to the container 10 in this embodiment, since it is hard to fall down, the outflow of the liquid content by the fall and the damage of the container 10 can be prevented.

Moreover, although this embodiment mentioned above demonstrated the case where the cover part 3 which has the spout 31 of a liquid content was used, the structure of the cover part 3 is not restricted to this.
For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the lid 3 may be formed in the shape of a character such as an animal. Moreover, it is good also as a structure which provided the spout 31 in the neck part 1 of the containers 10 and 10A instead of the cover part 3, neither the neck part 1 nor the cover part 3 of the containers 10 and 10A provided a spout, and the cover part 3 You may make it pour liquid content by removing.

It is explanatory drawing which shows the example of 1 structure of the container in this invention. It is explanatory drawing which shows the operation example of the container in this invention. It is explanatory drawing which shows the other structural example of the container in this invention.
