JP 2007-238176 A

However, the above-described conventional container has a problem that the lid is inadvertently slid and the takeout part is opened.
Furthermore, the conventional container also has a problem that when the lid is slid to take out the contents from the take-out portion, the lid is also inadvertently slid to close the take-out portion.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described circumstances, and its object is to reliably open the outlet when taking out the contents while preventing the outlet from being inadvertently opened. Is to provide a container capable of

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention proposes the following means.
Container according to the present invention, top plate and accommodates the granular contents into the space between the bottom wall portion, and a box-shaped container body takeout to the top plate is formed, the top plate on And a lid that is combined with the container body so as to be slidable in a sliding direction perpendicular to the container axis that is the central axis of the container body that passes through the top plate and the bottom wall portion. The lid opens the outlet when the lid is slid in one direction of the sliding direction with respect to the container body, and the lid is placed on the container body and the lid. Each of the container body and the lid body is provided with a regulating portion that abuts each other and regulates the sliding movement of the lid body in the one-direction side relative to the container body when moved to the open end position . On the other hand, the container axis in the plan view An elastic engagement piece extending in a direction intersecting the sliding direction is extended along the intersecting orthogonal plane, and the lid body slides toward the one direction side with respect to the container body on either side Engaging protrusions are provided to be able to get over the distal end portion of the elastic engaging piece, and a plurality of the engaging protrusions are provided at intervals in the sliding direction, and the lid body serves as the engaging protrusion. A first engaging projection for restricting the sliding movement of the lid body toward the one-direction side with respect to the container body when the lid body is in a normal position closing the outlet, and the lid body is in the open end position. And a second engagement protrusion for restricting the sliding movement of the lid body in the other direction with respect to the container body .

  In this invention, when the outlet is closed with the lid, the elastic engagement piece and the engagement projection can be arranged to engage with each other, and in this case, the lid is unidirectional with respect to the container body. Slide movement to the side is restricted. Thereby, it can suppress that an outlet is opened carelessly.

  When opening the outlet closed by the lid to take out the contents, if the lid is slid in one direction with respect to the container body, first, the elastic engagement piece and the engagement protrusion After that, the elastic engagement pieces are elastically deformed in the sliding direction, and the distal end portion and the engagement protrusion of the elastic engagement pieces get over each other.

Here, when the distal end portion of the elastic engagement piece and the engagement protrusion ride over each other, the elastic engagement piece is elastically deformed, so it is possible to recognize overcoming in an auditory and tactile sense. Accordingly, the sliding movement of the lid relative to the container body can be reliably performed until the outlet is opened without stopping halfway, and the outlet can be reliably opened.
In addition, since the elastic engagement piece extends in a direction intersecting the sliding direction on the orthogonal plane, the container main body and the lid body even if the distal end portion of the elastic engagement piece is elastically deformed in the sliding direction. However, separation from each other in the container axial direction is suppressed.

  Further, when the contents are taken out from the opened outlet, the elastic engagement piece and the engagement protrusion are engaged with each other because the distal end portion and the engagement protrusion of the elastic engagement piece get over each other as described above. By doing so, the sliding movement of the lid to the other side in the sliding direction with respect to the container main body is restricted. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the lid from being inadvertently slid to block the outlet and to secure a state where the outlet is opened.

  As described above, it is possible to reliably open the outlet when taking out the contents while preventing the outlet from being inadvertently opened.

In addition , since a plurality of engaging protrusions are arranged at intervals in the sliding direction, the container of the lid body can be used as the engaging protrusion, for example, when the lid body closes the outlet, as in this container. A first engaging protrusion for restricting sliding movement in one direction relative to the main body, and a second mechanism for restricting sliding movement of the lid in the other direction relative to the container body when the lid opens the outlet. By providing the joint protrusion, the above-described effects can be reliably achieved. In addition, by providing the first engagement protrusion and the second engagement protrusion in this way, for example, the elastic engagement piece gets over the engagement protrusion as compared with the case where one engagement protrusion long in the sliding direction is provided. The resistance force sometimes generated can be reduced, and the sliding movement of the lid relative to the container body can be performed smoothly.
Moreover, since the said restriction | limiting part is each provided in the container main body and the cover body, it can control reliably that a cover body slides to one direction side rather than an open end position.

Further , at least one of the engagement protrusion and the elastic engagement piece may also serve as the restricting portion.

In this case , an increase in the number of parts and a complicated shape can be suppressed while achieving the above-described effects.

The top wall of the lid may have a finger contact recess that has a side wall that can be hooked with a fingertip and is open to the other direction .

In this case, since the finger contact recess is formed in the lid, the lid can be easily slid and the contents can be taken out smoothly.
In particular, the finger contact recess is formed so as to be opened in the other direction, and a side wall is mainly formed in one direction. Therefore, when the fingertip is hooked on the side wall, the fingertip is easily guided naturally in the direction in which the lid is slid in one direction. Therefore, it is easy to reliably take out the contents and is easy to use.

  According to the container according to the present invention, it is possible to reliably open the outlet when taking out the contents while preventing the outlet from being opened carelessly.

And a top plate 20b that protrudes and contacts the upper end of the peripheral wall portion 10b of the lower cover 10.
The top plate 20b is formed with a filling port 21 for filling the contents M and an outlet 22 for taking the contents M facing each other across the central axis O.
The side on which the outlet 22 is provided is the front L1 of the container body 2, and the side on which the filling port 21 is provided is the rear L2 of the container body 2. A direction connecting the front L1 and the rear L2 along the radial direction is a slide direction S, and the lid body 3 reciprocates (slides forward or backward L2) in the slide direction S. Yes.

  The filling port 21 of the present embodiment is formed so as to largely open in a substantially crescent shape in plan view. On the other hand, the take-out port 22 is formed in an elliptical shape in plan view, and the size thereof is small enough to take out one or two contents M at a time.

Also, a bottom plate 20c having a substantially crescent shape in plan view is connected to the lower end portion of the outer wall portion 20a so as to face the filling port 21, and two parallel column portions extending in the vertical direction (container axial direction). The bottom plate 20c and the top plate 20b are connected by 20d. Thereby, the top plate 20b that is largely opened by the filling port 21 is designed so as not to be illegitimately deformed such as bending up and down. This also applies to the bottom plate 20c.
Since it is comprised in this way, the content M with which it filled from the filling port 21 is accommodated in the state mounted on the bottom plate 20c, or is accommodated in the space between the top plate 20b and the lower cover 10. It is supposed to be.

A pedestal 23 is provided at the center of the top plate 20b. The pedestal portion 23 is formed in a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape in plan view, and is disposed vertically along the slide direction S.
The rear L2 side of the pedestal portion 23 is formed so that the height is gradually reduced in two steps toward the rear L2, and a portion that is one step lower than the top 23a is a first step portion 23b. A portion that is one step lower than the first step portion 23b is a second step portion 23c.

The stepped wall between the first stepped portion 23b and the top portion 23a, the stepped wall between the first stepped portion 23b and the second stepped portion 23c, and the side wall of the second stepped portion 23c are arranged so that the lid 3 is moved forward L1. When the filling port 21 is opened by sliding to the side, the lower surface side of the lid 3 is contacted to play a role of restricting further sliding movement.
In particular, the stepped wall between the first stepped portion 23b and the top 23a also serves as a contact wall against which a stopper claw 56 of the lid 3 to be described later is pressed.

  Further, a pair of guide portions 25 are provided on the top plate 20b so as to face each other with the pedestal portion 23 interposed therebetween. The pair of guide portions 25 are arranged so as to extend in the sliding direction S, and a key-like claw portion 25a is formed inward at the upper end portion over the entire length. The pair of guide portions 25 have a role of guiding and supporting the lid 3 in a slidable manner.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the lid 3 includes an upper cover 40 made of resin or metal formed in a cylindrical shape with a top, and a lid main body portion fitted into the upper cover 40. 50, and has a substantially octagonal shape in plan view, and is slidable in the sliding direction S as described above. FIG. 4 is a top view of the lid body 50. FIG.

  In particular, as shown in FIG. 5, the lid body 3 is moved forward from the normal position covering the filling port 21 and the outlet port 22 along the sliding direction S as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 (the other direction). The filling port 21 is opened when it is slid to the side, and the outlet 22 is opened when slid to the rear L2 (one direction) as shown in FIGS. Yes.

  5 is a view of the state in which the lid 3 and the container body 2 are combined as seen from above, and the lid 3 is set at a normal position covering the filling port 21 and the outlet 22. is there. FIG. 6 is a vertical cross-sectional view of the container 1 in a state where the lid 3 is slid forward from the state shown in FIG. 5 to open the filling port 21. FIG. 7 is a view of the container 1 shown in FIG. 6 as viewed from above. FIG. 8 is a longitudinal sectional view of the container 1 in a state where the lid 3 is slid to the rear L2 side from the state shown in FIG. 5 and the outlet 22 is opened. FIG. 9 is a view of the container 1 shown in FIG. 8 as viewed from above. However, in FIGS. 5, 7, and 9, the illustration of the upper cover 40 of the lid 3 is omitted.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the upper cover 40 includes a top wall portion 40a having a substantially octagonal shape in plan view, and a peripheral wall portion 40b that hangs downward from the outer peripheral edge portion of the top wall portion 40a. ing. The top wall 40a is formed with a finger contact recess 41 for pressing the fingertip when the lid 3 is slid. The finger contact recess 41 is formed so as to open to the front L1 side, and a side wall 41a on which a fingertip can be hooked is mainly formed on the rear L2 side.

  As shown in FIGS. 1, 2, and 4, the lid body 50 is plate-shaped, and has an outer peripheral edge formed along the inner periphery of the peripheral wall 40b of the upper cover 40, and the upper cover. It is formed in a substantially octagonal shape in plan view with a thickness that fits within 40.

  In the lid body 50, a pair of slide openings 51 into which the pair of guides 25 on the container body 2 side respectively enter is formed so as to extend in the slide direction S. As shown in FIG. 5, a guide wall 51a on which the claw portion 25a of the guide portion 25 is slidably engaged is formed on the side wall in the slide opening 51. Accordingly, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 9, the lid body 3 slides (moves forward L1 or moves backward L2) along the sliding direction S while being guided and supported by the pair of guide portions 25. Yes.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, a through hole 52 having a substantially square shape in plan view is formed near the center front L1 of the lid body 50 between the pair of slide openings 51. On the inner peripheral surface of the hole 52, a piece support portion 53 that extends toward the rear L <b> 2 is provided so as to fit within the through hole 52.

  As shown in FIG. 4, in this embodiment, the lid 3 has an elastic engagement piece 54 that extends in the width direction W orthogonal to the slide direction S along an orthogonal plane orthogonal to the central axis O in plan view. Is extended. The elastic engagement piece 54 is disposed on the rear L2 side of the piece support portion 53 with a gap between the piece and the piece support portion 53. The elastic engagement piece 54 is a rod-like body located inside the piece support portion 53 in the width direction W, and the base end portion of the elastic engagement piece 54 is connected to the lower surface of the distal end portion of the piece support portion 53 and is rearward L2. It connects with the front-end | tip part of the support protrusion 55 extended toward the side.

In addition, as shown in FIGS. 1, 2, and 4, a stopper claw 56 is formed in the lid body 50 so as to face the elastic engagement piece 54 with a space therebetween.
The stopper claw 56 is formed so as to protrude toward the elastic engagement piece 54, and its tip portion is rounded downward and bulged. And when the cover body 3 exists in a normal position, as shown in FIG. 2, it contact | abuts to the level | step difference wall between the top 23a of the base part 23, and the 1st level | step-difference part 23b. Thereby, the lid 3 is in a state where a certain resistance force is applied, and is difficult to slide forward from the normal position to the front L1 side, and is positioned at the normal position.

However, when the lid body 3 is slid and moved from the normal position toward the front L1 side with a force that resists the resistance force, the stopper claw 56 gets over the top 23a, and as shown in FIGS. It slides to the front L1 side.
Further, when the lid 3 is slid from the normal position to the rear L2 side, the stopper claw 56 moves with the lid 3 as shown in FIGS. It separates from the level | step difference wall between the part 23a and the 1st level | step-difference part 23b. When the lid 3 that has been slid to the rear L2 side is slid again to the front L1 side, as shown in FIG. 5, the stopper claw 56 comes into contact with the stepped wall again to bring the lid 3 to the normal position. It is designed to be positioned.

  Thus, the stopper claw 56 and the pedestal 23 are engaged with each other in the sliding direction S at the normal position, thereby restricting the sliding movement of the lid 3 toward the front L1 side with respect to the container body 2 and the lid 3. Functions as a positioning means 57 for positioning at a normal position. Moreover, in this embodiment, when the lid 3 is moved from the normal position to the front L1 side, a certain resistance is applied to the lid 3, and the lid 3 is slid from the normal position to the front L1 side. It is difficult to do.

As shown in FIG. 6, the lower side of the lid body 50 is a step between the first step 23b and the top 23a of the pedestal 23 on the container body 2 side when the filling port 21 is opened. A recess is formed so as to contact the wall, the step wall between the first step portion 23b and the second step portion 23c, and the side wall of the second step portion 23c. Accordingly, the lid 3 is restricted from further sliding movement.
As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the container body 2 and the lid body 3 come into contact with each other when the lid body 3 moves to the open end position, and the lid body 3 moves toward the rear L2 side with respect to the container body 2. Restricting portions 60 and 61 for restricting the sliding movement are provided separately. In the present embodiment, the pedestal portion 23 also serves as the restricting portion 60 on the container body 2 side, and the elastic engagement piece 54 also serves as the restricting portion 61 on the lid 3 side, so that the pedestal portion 23 (regulating portion 60). The flat abutting wall 23d facing the front side and the elastic engagement piece 54 (regulating portion 61) abut against each other, thereby restricting the sliding movement.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, in this embodiment, the elastic engagement piece 54 is moved to the container body 2 when the elastic engagement piece 54 slides backward with respect to the container body 2. Engagement protrusions 58 and 59 that can get over the front end of the are disposed. A plurality of engaging protrusions 58 and 59 are arranged at intervals in the sliding direction S. In the illustrated example, the engaging protrusions 58 and 59 are located on the front L1 side as the engaging protrusions 58 and 59, and the lid 3 is in the normal position. When the lid 3 is located on the rear L2 side and the first engagement protrusion 58 that restricts the sliding movement of the lid 3 toward the rear L2 side with respect to the container body 2, and the lid 3 is in the open end position. And a second engagement protrusion 59 for restricting the sliding movement of the container body 2 toward the front L1 side.

  These engagement protrusions 58 and 59 are formed into plate-like bodies of the same shape and the same size that protrude along the width direction W while projecting upward from the top plate 20 b of the container body 2. 59 in the width direction W coincide with each other. The upper ends of the engagement protrusions 58 and 59 are located below the lower surface of the piece support portion 53, and the first engagement protrusion 58 faces the tip end portion of the elastic engagement piece 54 in the sliding direction S. Yes.

Next, the operation of the container 1 configured as described above will be described.
First, the case where the contents M are stored in the container 1 will be described.
In this case, first, the lid 3 is slid from the normal position shown in FIG. 5 to the front L1 side as shown in FIGS. At this time, since the stopper claw 56 is in contact with the stepped wall between the top 23a of the base portion 23 and the first stepped portion 23b, a certain resistance force is felt. Therefore, the slide is moved with a force against this resistance force. Accordingly, the lid 3 can be slid forward to the front L1 side so that the stopper claw 56 gets over the top 23a, and the filling port 21 can be opened.

A click feeling can be felt when the stopper claw 56 gets over the top 23a. Therefore, it can be clearly felt by touch that the lid 3 has been moved from the normal position to the front L1 side.
In addition, after the filling port 21 is opened, the lid 3 has a stepped wall between the first stepped portion 23b and the top 23a of the pedestal portion 23 on the container body 2 side, and the first stepped portion 23b and the second stepped portion. It contacts the step wall between 23c and the side wall of the second step portion 23c. Therefore, the lid 3 is restricted from further sliding movement.

Then, after the filling port 21 is opened, the contents M can be filled through the filling port 21 and can be accommodated in the container body 2.
After completion of filling the contents M, the lid 3 is slid to the rear L2 side to return to the normal position as shown in FIG. At this time, after the stopper claw 56 gets over the top 23a again, it comes into contact with the stepped wall between the top 23a and the first step 23b.
In addition, when the stopper claw 56 gets over the top 23a, it can feel a click feeling again. Therefore, it can be clearly felt as a tactile sense that the lid 3 has returned to the normal position.

  Here, when the lid 3 is in the normal position, the elastic engagement piece 54 and the first engagement protrusion 58 are engaged with each other, whereby the lid 3 slides toward the rear L2 side with respect to the container body 2. Movement is restricted. Thereby, it can suppress that the outlet 22 is opened carelessly.

Next, the case where the content M is taken out from the container body 2 in which the content M is stored will be described.
In this case, the lid 3 is slid from the normal position to the rear L2 side while the fingertip is hooked on the side wall 41a of the finger contact recess 41. Thereby, the outlet 22 can be opened as shown in FIGS. Therefore, the contents M accommodated through the outlet 22 can be taken out.

  By the way, when the cover 3 is slid to the rear L2 side with respect to the container main body 2 in taking out the contents M, first, the elastic engagement piece 54 and the first engagement protrusion 58 are brought into contact with each other. Then, the elastic engagement piece 54 is elastically deformed in the sliding direction S, and the distal end portion of the elastic engagement piece 54 and the first engagement protrusion 58 get over each other. Thereafter, when the sliding movement is further continued, the elastic engagement piece 54 is elastically deformed, and the distal end portion of the elastic engagement piece 54 and the second engagement protrusion 59 get over each other, as shown in FIGS. The take-out port 22 is opened. At this time, when the lid 3 is slid to the open end position, further sliding movement is restricted by the restriction portions 60 and 61.

Here, when the distal end portion of the elastic engagement piece 54 and the engagement protrusions 58 and 59 get over each other, the elastic engagement piece 54 is elastically deformed, so it is possible to recognize overcoming in an auditory and tactile sense. Therefore, the sliding movement of the lid 3 with respect to the container main body 2 can be reliably performed until the outlet 22 is opened without stopping halfway, and the outlet 22 can be reliably opened.
In addition, since the elastic engagement piece 54 extends in the width direction W, the container main body 2 and the lid 3 are not affected even if the tip of the elastic engagement piece 54 is elastically deformed in the sliding direction S. The separation from each other in the vertical direction is suppressed.

  Further, when the content M is taken out from the opened outlet 22, as described above, the tip end portion of the elastic engagement piece 54 and the second engagement protrusion 59 ride over each other. When the second engagement protrusions 59 are engaged with each other, the sliding movement of the lid 3 toward the front L1 side in the sliding direction S with respect to the container body 2 is restricted. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the lid 3 from being inadvertently slid to block the outlet 22 and to secure a state where the outlet 22 is opened.

  As described above, according to the container 1 according to the present embodiment, it is possible to reliably open the outlet 22 when taking out the contents M while suppressing the outlet 22 from being opened carelessly. it can.

  In addition, since a plurality of engagement protrusions 58 and 59 are arranged at intervals in the slide direction S, the first engagement protrusion 58 and the first engagement protrusion 58 are formed as the engagement protrusions 58 and 59 as in the present embodiment. By providing the two engaging protrusions 59, the above-described effects can be reliably achieved. In addition, by providing the first engagement protrusion 58 and the second engagement protrusion 59 in this way, for example, compared with the case where one engagement protrusion that is long in the sliding direction S is provided, the engagement protrusions 58 and 59 are provided. It is possible to reduce the size along the sliding direction S. For example, not only the elastic engagement piece 54 but also the engagement protrusions 58 and 59 can be elastically deformed. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the resistance force generated when the elastic engagement piece 54 gets over the engagement protrusions 58 and 59, and the sliding movement of the lid 3 with respect to the container body 2 can be performed smoothly.

Moreover, since the said restriction | limiting part 60 and 61 are provided in the container main body 2 and the cover body 3 separately, it is controlled reliably that the cover body 3 slides to the back L2 side rather than an open end position. be able to.
Further, since the elastic engagement piece 54 also serves as the restricting portion 61, an increase in the number of parts and a complicated shape can be suppressed while achieving the above-described effects.

  Further, when the lid 3 is in the normal position, the stopper claw 56 is in contact with the step wall between the top 23a of the pedestal 23 and the first step 23b. Therefore, when the lid 3 is slid from the normal position in order to take out the contents M, if it is slid to the front L1 side where the filling port 21 is accidentally opened, a certain resistance force is obtained. Can feel. Therefore, it is possible to easily notice an error in the sliding direction of the lid 3. Therefore, the operation of taking out the contents M can be reliably performed, and the ease of use can be further improved. That is, the resistance force generated when the stopper claw 56 and the pedestal portion 23 (the top 23a) get over is larger than the resistance force generated when the elastic engagement piece 54 and the engagement protrusions 58 and 59 get over. Designed.

  In addition, since the finger cover recess 41 is formed in the upper cover 40 of the lid 3, the lid 3 can be easily slid and the content M can be taken out smoothly. In addition, the finger contact recess 41 is formed so as to open to the front L1 side, and a side wall 41a is formed mainly on the rear L2 side. Therefore, when the fingertip is hooked on the side wall 41a, the fingertip is easily guided naturally in the direction in which the lid 3 is slid from the normal position to the rear L2. Accordingly, also in this respect, it is difficult to mistake the sliding direction S of the lid 3 when taking out the contents M. Therefore, ease of use can be further improved.

The technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
For example, in the above-described embodiment, the overall shape is an octagonal shape in plan view. However, the shape is not limited to this shape and may be freely designed.

Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the filling port 21 shall be formed in the top plate 20b, the filling port 21 does not need to be. In this case, when the lid body 3 is in the normal position, the lid body 3 may be configured not to be slidable forward L1 with respect to the container body 2.
Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the finger contact recess 41 is formed in the upper cover 40 of the lid 3, but the finger contact recess 41 may not be provided.

Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the elastic engagement piece 54 shall be extended toward the width direction W, it is not restricted to this, The direction which cross | intersects the slide direction S along the said orthogonal plane It only has to be extended towards the.
Furthermore, in the said embodiment, although the elastic engagement piece 54 shall serve as the control part 61, it is not restricted to this. For example, the engaging protrusion may also serve as the restricting portion, and neither the elastic engaging piece nor the engaging protrusion may serve as the restricting portion. Furthermore, in the reference example of the present invention, the restricting portions 60 and 61 may be omitted.

Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the two engagement protrusions 58 and 59 shall be arrange | positioned at intervals in the slide direction S, it is not restricted to this. For example, three or more engagement protrusions may be provided, and in the reference example of the present invention, one engagement protrusion extending in the slide direction S may be provided.
Furthermore, in the said embodiment, although the engagement protrusions 58 and 59 shall have protruded upwards from on the top plate 20b of the container main body 2, it is not restricted to this.
