JP 2004-35022 A

  In the case of the above lid, since the upper end opening of the container body is closed and screwed directly, the stored items are placed on the back surface of the lid body by vibration, tilting of the container, etc. during transportation before opening or storage handling. In some cases, the product image may be lowered by opening the open / close lid at the time of opening, and the attached stored items may scatter. In order to eliminate such inconvenience, the upper end of the mouth and neck of the container body is generally sealed with a peelable sealing material. However, if a sealing material is provided, the lid body is temporarily placed in the container before opening. After removing from the body, the sealing material is peeled off, and the lid is screwed again for use.

  In that case, while a sealing property far better than the sealing property only by the lid body can be obtained, the shape of the mouth and neck portion is limited to a cylindrical shape in consideration of the convenience of attaching and detaching the lid body. The shape of the body part of the container body is not limited to a cylindrical shape, and various shapes such as an elliptical cylinder shape and a polygonal tubular shape are generally adopted. Therefore, for example, when the mouth and neck are circular and the trunk is oval, the diameter of the mouth and neck must be combined with the minor axis of the trunk, and the diameter must be small. . Therefore, the opening in the lid is naturally limited, and the use of a spoon or the like becomes inconvenient depending on the size of the body.

  In addition, in the case of the lid as described above, it is possible to cause a slight deformation of the part due to the forced breakage of the breakage part in order to break the breakage part and allow the opening / closing lid part to be opened and closed. Therefore, there is a possibility of affecting the sealing performance of the opening / closing lid.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and there is no risk that the stored items will adhere to the lid during distribution, and sufficient airtightness can be obtained not only before opening but also after opening. We propose a container with an open / close lid that has a sufficient degree of freedom in size and can be easily taken out with a spoon.

  The container with an opening / closing lid of the present invention includes a container body and a lid body.

  The container body is made of a synthetic resin or the like, and stands up the mouth and neck on the torso, and the mouth and neck has an elliptical cylindrical shape. Here, the elliptical cylindrical elliptical shape is not limited to the mathematically defined elliptical shape, but includes shapes similar to the elliptical shape. Further, the upper end opening of the mouth / neck portion is closed with a sealing material, and the sealing material is fixed to the mouth / neck portion so that the peripheral edge thereof can be peeled off. The sealing material is formed by a single structure or a laminated structure of a synthetic resin, or a laminated structure of a synthetic resin and a metal thin film layer. Examples of means for releasably fixing the sealing material include heat sealing and sticking using an adhesive, but are not limited thereto.

  A pair of locking ridges are provided at positions opposite to the front and rear of the outer periphery along the long axis of the mouth and neck formed in an elliptical cylindrical shape. A gap is provided in the inner periphery of the fixed frame to be performed. When the pressing recess is pressed and deformed to disengage the locking ridge, the body is deformed quickly without interference due to the presence of the gap, and the engagement ridge can be easily disengaged. Yes. The length of each locking ridge is not particularly limited, but if it is too short, the engagement between the container body and the lid will be unstable, and if it is too long, the gap will be reduced and the body will be deformed. There is a possibility that the body part may not be smoothly deformed when releasing the joint. Therefore, for example, it would be appropriate to lay it on a portion of about 60 to 80% excluding both sides of the half circumference. Of course, it is not limited to this.

The container body is provided with a pressing recess. The depression for pressing is provided at the upper end of the portion where the locking protrusion on the body is projected. By pressing the concave portion for pressing, the engaging protrusion of the upper portion can be disengaged and the lid can be easily removed. The size of the pressing recess is not particularly limited as long as it is appropriately selected in consideration of the size of the finger or the like. In addition, the pressing recess may be configured such that the inner surface of the pressing recess is located outward from the outer peripheral surface of the mouth and neck portion, but the inner surface of the pressing recess is the same curved surface as the outer surface of the mouth neck portion below the locking ridge. Preferably configured as above . The depression for pressing can be provided in one or both of the portions of the body portion where the locking protrusions are provided, and is appropriately selected in consideration of the size of the container body. On the other hand, the size of the container body is large, and the smaller one is the standard.

  The lid is also formed of a synthetic resin or the like, and includes a fixed frame and a lid plate. The fixed frame is locked to the outer periphery of the mouth-neck portion by overriding engagement between the protrusions. The overriding engagement between the protrusions is performed by getting over the engaging protrusions of the fixed frame and engaging the locking protrusions of the container body. The engaging protrusion protrudes from the inner periphery of a fitting cylinder (which may also serve as a peripheral wall) to be fitted to the outer periphery of the mouth neck. The engaging ridge may be formed in an annular shape on the inner periphery of the fitting cylinder, or may be provided only on the portion of each locking ridge. However, when it is provided in an annular shape, the width of the protrusion is such that a gap is formed between the container body neck and the outer surface of the container body where there is no locking protrusion. The fixed frame includes a top plate that connects the lower surface to the upper end of the fitting cylinder and defines an outlet. One or a plurality of outlets may be provided, but a pair of a first outlet having a large opening for spoons and a second outlet having a small opening for dispensing can be preferably employed.

  The cover plate is swingably connected to the fixed frame and hermetically closes the outlet so that it can be opened and closed. The lid plate may be formed integrally with the fixed frame or separately, but when formed separately, a resin for forming the lid plate and a resin for forming the fixed frame are added as necessary. It is also possible to make it different. In principle, the number of cover plates should be provided in accordance with the number of outlets. When the outlets are in the above-mentioned pair, a first lid in which a first seal cylinder closely fitted to the first outlet is suspended from the back surface. A plate and a second lid plate in which a second seal cylinder fitted tightly to the second outlet is suspended from the back surface are provided. As a means for connecting the lid plate to the fixed frame, the lid plate is preferably slidably connected via a hinge or the like via a fixed substrate closely fitted on the top plate of the fixed frame. Moreover, when forming a cover plate integrally, it forms in the state which opened the cover plate, for example.

As a first means for solving the above-mentioned problems, a synthetic resin in which a mouth-and-neck part 3 having a diameter reduced from the body part 2 is erected and hermetically sealed with a sealant 6 capable of peeling off the upper end opening of the mouth-and-neck part 3 An outlet 14 is defined in the top plate 11 of the fixed frame B ₁ in which the fitting cylinder 10 is fitted on the outer periphery of the mouth and neck portion 3 and the lid plate 23 that seals the outlet 14 is fixed to the fixed frame B. And a lid B that is swingably connected to B ₁ , and the fitting cylinder 10 is locked to the mouth-neck portion 3 by a crossing engagement between the protrusions. A container with an open / close lid that is peeled off and reattached to the lid B, and a pair of locking ridges 4 at the outer circumferential front and rear facing positions along the long axis of the mouth-and-neck portion 3 formed in an elliptical cylinder shape. And a gap d is provided between the outer periphery of the mouth neck portion 3 and the inner periphery of the fixed frame B ₁ other than the protruding portions of the locking protrusions 4, and the upper end of the body portion 2 of the protruding protrusion 4 protruding portions. Press on the part A concave portion 5 is provided.

As a second means, in the first means, the inner surface f of the pressing recess 5 is on the same curved surface as the outer surface of the mouth neck portion 3 below the locking ridge 4.

As a third means, in the said first means, said cover plate 23, and swingably connected via a hinge to the fixed frame B ₁ of the fixed substrate 20 in which is fitted onto the top plate 11.

  As a fourth means, in the first means, the outlet 14 is composed of a first opening 14a for spoons with a large opening and a second outlet 14b for swinging with a small opening.

As a fifth means, in the first means, the outlet 14 has a large opening formed in the top plate 11 of the fixed frame B _{1 and} a first outlet 14a for a spoon and a small opening. The first hinge 21 and the second hinge 21 are respectively attached to the fixed substrate 20 fitted on the top plate 11 between the first outlet 14a and the second outlet 14b. A first cover plate 23a and a second cover plate 23b, which are swingably connected via a hinge 22, and a first seal cylinder 27a suspended from the back surface of the first cover plate 23a are tightly connected to the first outlet 14a. In addition, the second seal cylinder 27b suspended from the back surface of the second lid plate 23b is closely fitted to the second outlet 14b.

  In the container with an opening / closing lid of the present invention, the operation of once removing the lid B and then reattaching it to peel off the sealing material 6 is easy even though the mouth and neck portion 3 is in the shape of an elliptic cylinder, As a result, the size of the outlet can be made sufficiently large, and the stored item can be easily taken out using a spoon. In addition, there is no fear that the stored item will adhere to the lid body during distribution due to the presence of the sealing material 6, and the lid is pressed by a simple operation of pressing the depression recess 5 to disengage the locking protrusion 4 above it. The body B can be easily removed and opened easily. Further, when the pressing recess 5 is pressed due to the presence of the gap d, the container body 2 is easily deformed and easily disengaged. Moreover, sufficient airtightness can be obtained not only before opening but also after opening.

  When the inner surface f of the pressing recess 5 is on the same plane as the outer surface of the mouth-and-neck portion 3 below the locking ridge 4, when the pressing recess 5 is pushed with a finger, the extra force is applied. It is efficiently transmitted to the locking ridge 4 without being absorbed by deformation.

The lid plate 23, when connected via a hinge to the fixed substrate 20 is closely fitted onto the top plate 11 of the fixed frame B ₁ represents, be formed in a different material as the fixed frame B ₁ the cover plate 23 can, for example, can be selected such as enhancing the airtightness by forming the cover plate 23 in a relatively soft material, also by equip various colors and shapes of the cover plate 23 and the fixed frame B _1, the cover plate 23 There is also an advantage that many kinds of containers can be revealed only by exchanging.
