Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は容器に関する。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
錠剤等の粒状物や粉体等を収納する容器として、従来は胴部より口頸部を起立した容器体と、口頸部に螺着させた周壁上端縁より頂壁を延設してなるキャップとからなる極一般的な形態ものが使用されており、キャップを外し必要量を手の平などに取り出す如く使用している。
【０００３】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
従来の容器では、収納物を取り出す際に一々キャップを外すため、収納物が外気に接触する機会が多く、一般に湿気を嫌う錠剤等の収納物の場合には好ましくない。また、キャップを取り外す際も何回も回動させて行うため面倒が伴う。
【０００４】
本発明は上記した点に鑑みなされたもので、簡単な操作で収納粒状物を取り出すことができるとともに、充分な気密性を備え、また、取り出し操作中に蓋体が外れる等の不都合のない容器を提案するものである。また、本発明では、製造時に容易に製造が可能な容器を提案するものである。
【０００５】

【０００７】
第３の手段として以下の通り構成した。即ち、前記第１の手段に於いて、上記蓋体３と本体２とを１８０°開蓋状態で合成樹脂により一体に形成するとともに、開蓋状態に於ける蓋体周壁12の両側所定位置に、上端を開口したＵ字状の軸孔17を設けた。
【０００８】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明の実施例の形態を図面を参照して説明する。
【０００９】
本発明の容器１は、本体２と、蓋体３と、取出ノズル４とを備えている。
【００１０】
本体２は、上端を開口した有底筒状をなしている。図示例では、前後方向に長い矩形状底壁５周縁部より周壁６を立設し、周壁６前面上端部に後述する連結片を嵌合するめの凹部７を形成している。また、前部上縁を下方へ凹ませ、取出ノズル４の後述する指掛突片を係合させる嵌合凹部８を設けている。
【００１１】
蓋体３は、本体上端開口を閉塞して密嵌させるとともに、上面にノズル収納用の収納凹部９を備えている。また、前端部に於いて、上下縁をそれぞれ薄肉ヒンジ10により連結した一対の帯状連結片11により、蓋体の開閉が可能な状態で本体２と一体に連結している。尚、帯状連結片11は一本であっても、或いは３本以上であっても良い。
【００１２】
図示例では、本体２内周上端部に密嵌した周壁12上端縁より本体２上にフランジ13を延設し、フランジ13前部には所定幅の欠損部14を設けている。また、周壁12外周に周設した下向き段部を、本体２の周壁12内周上部に周設した上向き段部に係合させている。更に、欠損部14両側のフランジ13下面にそれぞれ薄肉ヒンジ10を介して上縁を連結し、下縁をそれぞれ薄肉ヒンジ10を介して凹部７下面に連結した一対の帯状連結片11を設けて本体と一体に形成している。蓋体３は、図３に示す如く約１８０°程度開いた状態で本体２と一体に形成するとことができ、また、閉蓋状態では図２に示す如く、各帯状連結片11が凹部７内に嵌合して余分な突出がないように構成している。
【００１３】
また、周壁12下端縁より延設した底壁15の後端部を下方へ側面視円弧状に凹ませて、取出ノズル４基端部を摺動させる摺動凹部15a を設け、この摺動凹部15a 部分に本体２内と連通する取出口16を穿設している。更に、周壁12の後部両側所定位置には、取出ノズル４を枢着させるための一対の軸孔17を穿設している。各軸孔17は、図３に示す如く、１８０°開蓋状態で型抜路を併設した上端開口のＵ字状に形成しており、成形時の金型の取り外しを上下に抜くだけで容易に行える如く構成している。
【００１４】
取出ノズル４は、収納凹部９内に起伏可能に枢着させるとともに、伏臥状態で収納凹部９後部の取出口16を閉塞し、且つ、起立状態で取出口16と連通する筒状をなしている。また、先端上部より突設した指掛突片18を指掛可能に本体２より前方へ突設している。指掛突片18は取出ノズル４前部より指掛可能に突設したものであれば良く、図示例のものに限らず、上面より上方へ突起状に突設した形態のものであっても良い。
【００１５】
図示例では、摺動凹部15a 内面に摺動する円弧状摺動面19を後端部底面から後面に亘り形成した矩形筒状をなし、基端部両側所定位置に突設した枢着軸20を軸孔17に回動可能に枢着して収納凹部９内に起伏可能に装着している。また、前端開口を収納凹部９内前面により閉塞するとともに、前面上部より突設した指掛突片18を本体２の嵌合凹部８に嵌合させ、先端を凹部７内に突設している。
【００１６】
上記の如く構成した容器１は、図１の状態から指掛突片18に指を掛けて取出ノズル４起立させ、ノズル基端開口を取出口16に重複させて本体２内と連通させ、次いで本体を傾ければ収納粒状物を取り出すことができる。使用後は取出ノズル４を倒して元の状態に戻せば良い。
【００１７】
【発明の効果】
以上説明した如く本発明の粒状物用容器は、既述構成としたことにより、取出ノズルを起立させて容器を傾けるという簡単な方法により収納物を取り出すことができ、しかもノズルを倒した状態では密閉性良く収納物を保管できるものである。また、取出ノズル４前部より指掛可能に指掛突片 18 を突設するとともに、蓋体先端部に於いて、上下縁をそれぞれ薄肉ヒンジ10により連結した帯状連結片11により、蓋体３の開閉が可能な状態で蓋体と本体とを一体に連結しているので、取出ノズル４を起立させる際に意に反して蓋体を開いてしまうとい不都合がない。
【００１８】
また、上記本体前面上部に凹部７を凹設し、該凹部７の両側にそれぞれ帯状連結片11を嵌合させるとともに、指掛突片18先端を凹部７内に突設してなるものにあっては、取出ノズルの起立が容易に行えるとともに、余計な突出部分がないため伏臥時のノズルを誤って起立させる等の不都合を生じない。
【００１９】
更に、蓋体３と本体２とを１８０°開蓋状態で合成樹脂により一体に形成するとともに、開蓋状態に於ける蓋体周壁12の両側所定位置に、上端を開口したＵ字状の軸孔17を設けてなるものにあっては、蓋体と本体との製造時に当たり金型を簡単な上下抜きで取り外すことができ、製造が極めて容易となる。

And is formed integrally. The lid 3 can be formed integrally with the main body 2 in an opened state of about 180 ° as shown in FIG. 3, and in the closed state, each strip-like connecting piece 11 is in the recess 7 as shown in FIG. So that there is no extra protrusion.
[0013]
Further, the rear end of the bottom wall 15 extending from the lower end edge of the peripheral wall 12 is recessed downward in an arc shape when viewed from the side, and a sliding recess 15a for sliding the base end of the take-out nozzle 4 is provided. An outlet 16 communicating with the inside of the main body 2 is formed in the portion 15a. Further, a pair of shaft holes 17 for pivotally attaching the take-out nozzle 4 are formed at predetermined positions on both sides of the rear portion of the peripheral wall 12. As shown in FIG. 3, each shaft hole 17 is formed in a U-shape with an upper end opening provided with a die removal path in a 180 ° open state, and it is easy to remove the mold at the time of molding. It is configured so that it can be performed.
[0014]
The take-out nozzle 4 is pivotally mounted in the storage recess 9 so that it can be raised and lowered, closes the take-out port 16 at the rear of the storage recess 9 in the prone state, and has a cylindrical shape communicating with the take-out port 16 in the upright state. . Further, a finger-hanging protrusion 18 protruding from the upper end of the tip is protruded forward from the main body 2 so as to be hookable. The finger-hanging protrusion 18 may be a protrusion that can be hooked from the front part of the take-out nozzle 4, and is not limited to the illustrated example, and may be a protrusion that protrudes upward from the upper surface. good.
[0015]
In the illustrated example, an arcuate sliding surface 19 that slides on the inner surface of the sliding recess 15a has a rectangular cylindrical shape formed from the bottom surface of the rear end portion to the rear surface, and the pivot shaft 20 that protrudes at predetermined positions on both sides of the base end portion. Is pivotally attached to the shaft hole 17 and mounted in the housing recess 9 so as to be undulated. Further, the front end opening is closed by the front surface in the housing recess 9, the finger-hanging protrusion 18 projecting from the front upper portion is fitted into the fitting recess 8 of the main body 2, and the tip projects into the recess 7. .
[0016]
In the container 1 configured as described above, the take-up nozzle 4 is raised by placing a finger on the finger-hanging protrusion 18 from the state shown in FIG. 1, and the nozzle base end opening is overlapped with the outlet 16 to communicate with the inside of the main body 2. If the body is tilted, the stored granular material can be taken out. After use, the take-out nozzle 4 may be tilted back to the original state.
[0017]
【The invention's effect】
State granules container for, by which the above configuration, it is the this retrieve the stored item by a simple method of inclining the container is erected the extraction nozzle, moreover defeating nozzle-described as the present invention more Then, the stored items can be stored with good sealing properties. Further, a finger-hanging protrusion 18 is provided so as to be hookable from the front part of the take-out nozzle 4 and at the front end of the cover, the upper and lower edges are respectively connected by thin-walled hinges 10, and the cover 3 Since the lid and the main body are integrally connected in a state in which the lid can be opened and closed, there is no inconvenience when the lid is opened unexpectedly when the take-out nozzle 4 is raised.
[0018]
Further, the concave portion 7 is provided in the upper front portion of the main body, the belt-like connecting pieces 11 are fitted on both sides of the concave portion 7, and the tips of the finger-hanging projection pieces 18 are provided in the concave portion 7. As a result, the take-out nozzle can be easily raised, and there is no extra protruding portion, so that there is no inconvenience such as erroneously raising the nozzle when prone.
[0019]
Further, the lid 3 and the main body 2 are integrally formed of synthetic resin in a 180 ° open state, and a U-shaped shaft having an upper end opened at predetermined positions on both sides of the lid peripheral wall 12 in the open state. In the case where the hole 17 is provided, the die can be removed by simple punching at the time of manufacturing the lid and the main body, and the manufacturing becomes extremely easy.
