【従来の技術】
清涼用粒状物等を入れて小出し使用するための容器としては、例えば、容器本体に設けた小出し用の孔をスライド自在の蓋によって開閉するようにしたものが従来から知られている。
【０００３】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
スライド自在の蓋によって小出し用の孔を開閉するようにした従来の容器では、構造上孔を側部に設けることが難しいため、容器内の粒状物が少なくなると、粒状物を出しにくくなり、使用性が十分でない。
また、使用時には不快な擦れ音がしたり、開け方がわかりにくいものがある。
そこで、本発明は上記問題点に鑑みてなされたものであって、使用性のよい粒状物等用の簡易小型振り出し容器を得ることを目的とするものである。
【０００４】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明は、以上のような課題を解決するため、次のような振り出し容器を提供するものである。
すなわち、共に矩形トレイ状の底部材と蓋部材とを、これら底部材及び蓋部材の内面側に突設された複数組のボスの凹凸嵌合と、側壁部側に設けられた係止部の嵌合によって組み立ててなる容器であって、該容器の１つの隅角部を略四半円をなす円弧状に形成するとともに、その円弧形状と略合致する曲面を有する開閉部材を回動自在に枢着し、該開閉部材の曲面に設けた掛止部を前記底部材あるいは蓋部材の側壁部の内側に形成した突起に開閉自在に掛止させたことを特徴とする振り出し容器である。
そして、前記開閉部材に、容器内の内容物が小出しされるような規制部材を設け、また、前記底部材あるいは蓋部材の側壁部側に設ける係止部を略容器長辺全体にわたって設けたことを特徴とするものである。

【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明の実施の形態を図面に基づいて説明する。
図１は本発明の振り出し容器の全体斜視図であり、図２は蓋部材の平面図、図３は同じくＸ−Ｘ断面図である。
また、図４は底部材の平面図、図５は同じくＹ−Ｙ断面図であり、図６は蓋部材と底部材の側壁部側の係止部の嵌合を示す拡大断面図、図７は蓋部材と底部材のボス部を示す拡大断面図である。
図８は開閉部材の斜視図、図９は同じく平面図であり、図１０は開閉部材が回動する様子を示す説明図である。
なお、本発明は、図示の実施例に限定されるものではなく、本発明の精神の範囲内において適宜設計変更可能なものである。
【０００６】
まず、最初に、図１で示す斜視図をもとに本発明を簡単に説明する。
この図１で示すように、本発明の振り出し容器（Ａ）は矩形のトレイ状の蓋部材（１０）と、略同形の底部材（２０）とを組み立ててなるものであって、容器（Ａ）の１つの隅角部（１）は、略容器短辺を半径とする四半円の円弧状に形成され、その四半円弧形状に略合致する曲面を有する開閉部材（３０）が回動自在に枢着されている。
そして、この開閉部材（３０）を回動させることによって、容器上面の振り出し口、即ち開口部（２）を開閉させ、内容物を振り出すようになっている。
なお、これら蓋部材（１０）、底部材（２０）及び開閉部材（３０）は、ポリプロピレン、ポリエチレン、ポリスチレン等の熱可塑性樹脂を用いて所定形状に成形することにより得ることができる。
【０００７】
蓋部材（１０）と底部材（２０）には、後述するように、内面側に複数組のボスが突設されており、側壁部側には係止部が設けられている。
そして、これらボスの嵌合と係止部の嵌合により、振り出し容器（Ａ）が組み立てられる。
また、開閉部材（３０）は、前述のように開閉操作が回動式であり、後述するように、底部材（２０）の側壁部の内側に形成された突起に、開閉部材（３０）の曲面下端に設けられた掛止部が掛止されることによって閉じた状態が保持されるようになっている。なお、突起は蓋部材（１０）側に一部設けてもよい。
図１では、開閉部材（３０）が閉じた状態を示しているが、開閉部材（３０）を容器（Ａ）の隅角部（１）に設け、指がかけやすいように突出部（３２）を設けると、片手でスムーズに開閉操作ができ、清涼用粒状物、粒状菓子、錠菓等の内容物を振り出す際の使用性がきわめてよくなるものである。
【０００８】
次に、このような振り出し容器（Ａ）の蓋部材（１０）と底部材（２０）について詳細に説明する。
図２、図３で示すように、蓋部材（１０）の開口部（１２）と、開閉部材（３０）を操作するための突出部（３２）が摺動する隅角部（１１）を除く側壁部（１３）の端縁内面側には、段上げ部（１４）が形成されており、その段上げ部（１４）の数箇所に、図６で示すような鉤型の係止部（１５）が設けられている。図２では、係止部（１５）が開口部（１２）側の長辺に２つ、他方の長辺に１つ配設されている。
また、前記隅角部（１１）は、図２で示すように、略四半円をなす円弧状に形成され、その四半円を描くための円の中心位置に開閉部材（３０）が枢着されるための背低な丸ピン（１６）が突設されている。
【０００９】
また、蓋部材（１０）の内面周辺部には、底部材（２０）の凹穴付きボスに嵌合するボスが複数（図示のものは５つ）突設されている。
第１乃至第３ボス（１７ａ）（１７ｂ）（１７ｃ）は、容器（Ａ）の前記隅角部（１１）を除く各隅角部近傍に設けられており、第４ボス（１７ｄ）と第５ボス（１７ｅ）は、容器長辺の略中央近傍にそれぞれ設けられている。
なお、各ボス（１７ａ）（１７ｂ）（１７ｃ）（１７ｄ）（１７ｅ）は、図７で示すように内部が空洞で、先端が円錐台状に形成されている。
また、図３で示すように、各ボスは側壁部（１３）よりも高く突設されている。
その他、蓋部材（１０）の下方側中央には丸く窪んでいるゲート（１８）が形成されている。
【００１０】
一方、図４、図５で示すように、底部材（２０）の開口部（２２）と、開閉部材（３０）を操作するための突出部（３２）が摺動する隅角部（２１）を除く側壁部（２３）の端縁内面側には、前記段上げ部（１４）と嵌合される段下げ部（２４）が形成されており、更に略容器長辺全体にわたって、図６で示すような前記係止部（１５）と嵌合する鉤型の係止部（２５）が設けられている。
このように、略容器長辺全体にわたって係止部（２５）が設けられていると、前記係止部（１５）を設ける位置を任意に設定することができ、係止部（１５）と係止部（２５）のかみ合わせを容易に調整することができる。
また、前記隅角部（２１）は、図４で示すように、略四半円をなす円弧状に形成され、その四半円を描くための円の中心位置に開閉部材（３０）が枢着されるための背低な丸ピン（２６）が突設されている。
また、図示するように、底部材（２０）の隅角部（２１）側の容器長辺の側壁部（２３）の内側には、先端を側面視半円状に形成したリブ状の突起（２９）が形成されており、開閉部材（３０）の曲面上に設けられた掛止部（３５）が、開閉自在に掛止されるようになっている。
【００１１】
また、底部材（２０）の内面周辺部には、第１乃至第５凹穴付きボス（２７ａ）（２７ｂ）（２７ｃ）（２７ｄ）（２７ｅ）が突設され、前記各第１乃至第５ボス（１７ａ）（１７ｂ）（１７ｃ）（１７ｄ）（１７ｅ）とそれぞれ対応して嵌合するようになっている。
なお、この凹穴付きボスは、図７で示すように入口側がテーパー状に拡がっており、前記各ボス（１７ａ）（１７ｂ）（１７ｃ）（１７ｄ）（１７ｅ）との嵌合がしやすいようになっている。
また、図５で示すように、側壁部（２３）はある程度の高さを有しており、各凹穴付きボスは側壁部（２３）よりも低く、前記段下げ部（２４）までの高さと略同じ高さに突設されている。
その他、底部材（２０）の下方側中央には前記蓋部材（１０）と同様に丸く窪んでいるゲート（２８）が形成されている。
【００１２】
次に開閉部材（３０）について説明する。
この開閉部材（３０）は、側面板（３３）（３４）と曲面板（３１）とからなり、図８、図９で示すように、開閉部材（３０）の側面板（３３）（３４）は略四半円の扇形をなし、曲面板（３１）の曲面の形状が側面視で前記隅角部（１１）（２１）と略合致する形状となっている。また、曲面板（３１）上の略中央には開閉操作時に指がかけられるように突出部（３２）が突設されており、突出部（３２）の表面には多数の溝（３２ａ）が形成され、指をかけたときの滑り防止となっている。
また、開閉部材（３０）の両側面板（３３）（３４）には前記丸ピン（１６）（２６）と嵌合する孔（３３ａ）（３４ａ）がそれぞれ穿設されている。
そして、図示するように、開閉部材（３０）の曲面板（３１）上の下端には、突起（２９）に掛止する掛止部としてのリブ（３５）が、側面視三角形状に突設され、曲面板（３１）の上端部分には、前記凹穴付きボス（２７ａ）に対する逃げとなるように、円弧状の切欠部（３６）が形成されている。
また、開閉部材（３０）の底部（３７）には規制部材としての規制板（３８）が設けられており、容器内の粒状物等が必要以上に振り出されるのを防止するように、つまり、定量的に小出しされるようになっている。
なお、この規制部材は、粒状物等を定量的に小出しすることができるものであれば、どのようなものでも、又どのように設けてもよく、図示のものに限定されるものではない。
【００１３】
図１０は開閉部材（３０）が回動するときの様子を示す説明図であり、底部材（２０）に開閉部材（３０）を枢着した様子を示している。
この図で示すように、開口部（２）を開けるときには、開閉部材（３０）を下方に向かって回動するが、このとき、リブ（３５）が突起（２９）を乗り越えて回動する。そして、開口部（２）を閉じるときには、前述と反対に、リブ（３５）が突起（２９）を乗り越えるまで、開閉部材（３０）を上方に向かって回動する。
しかして、開閉部材（３０）は、突起（２９）の上部でリブ（３５）が掛止されることによって閉じた状態に保持され、使用時以外は勝手に開口部（２）が開かないようになっている。また、突起（２９）にリブ（３５）を掛止させるだけの構造であるため、部品点数も少なくて済み、きわめて簡単に構成できる。
なお、リブ（３５）を側面視三角形状に突設するのではなく、突起（２９）と同様に緩やかな半円状に突設すると、開閉部材（３０）を回動するときに、リブ（３５）が突起（２９）を乗り越えやすくなり、開閉部材（３０）の回動が最少の力で容易に行うことができるようになる。
【００１４】
以上、何れにしても、本発明の振り出し容器（Ａ）は、上記のような蓋部材（１０）、底部材（２０）、開閉部材（３０）をそれぞれ熱可塑性樹脂で射出成形し、複数組のボスの嵌合及び側壁部側の係止部の嵌合によって組み立ててなるものであり、丸ピン（１６）（２６）にセットされて回動自在に枢着された開閉部材（３０）の曲面板（３１）の曲面の形状を蓋部材（１０）及び底部材（２０）の隅角部（１１）（２１）の形状に合わせたものである。
そして、その丸ピン（１６）（２６）を中心に開閉部材（３０）が回動することによって、容器上面の開口部（２）が開口し、清涼用粒状物、粒状菓子、錠菓等の内容物が振り出されるものである。
したがって、振り出し口や振り出し方が一目でわかり、携帯性、使用性に優れ、かつ、その振り出し機構が斬新なため、消費者の購買意欲をそそることができる。
【００１５】
また、突起（２９）とリブ（３５）によって開閉部材（３０）を掛止するという簡単な構造にもかかわらず、開閉部材（３０）が不用意に開くことはなく、片手で簡単に開閉操作ができるため、操作性もきわめてよく、操作感が非常によい。
また、開閉部材（３０）の底部（３７）に設けた規制板（３８）によって、１回の振り出し量が規制されるようになっているため、必要以上に内容物が振り出されることはなく、定量的に小出しすることができるし、最後の１粒まで簡単に振り出すことができる。
その他、底部材に設ける係止部が略容器長辺全体にわたって設けられているので、蓋部材に設ける係止部の配設位置を任意に設定することができる。
なお、蓋部材及び底部材の側壁部に設ける係止部の形状を逆にしてもよく、また、その側壁部を係止嵌合するのではなく、超音波シール又はヒートシール等の熱融着による方法で容器を組み立てるようにしてもよい。
【００１６】
【発明の効果】
以上のように、本発明によれば、部品点数が少なく、低コストで、しかも組み立て性、携帯性及び使用性に優れた粒状物等用の振り出し容器が得られる。
しかも、回動式の開閉部材を容器の隅角部に設けたので、開閉操作が片手でもってきわめて簡単にでき、操作感も非常によいし、振り出し口や振り出し方が一目でわかり、かつ、その振り出し機構が斬新なため、消費者の購買意欲をそそることができる。
また、開閉部材に設けた規制部材によって、１回の振り出し量が規制されるようになっているため、必要以上に内容物が振り出されることはなく、定量的に小出しすることができるし、最後の１粒まで簡単に振り出すことができる。
また、側壁部に設ける係止部が略容器長辺全体にわたって設けられていると、それとかみ合わせる別の側壁部に設ける係止部の配設位置を任意に設定することができる。
