Description

  The present invention relates to a detachable container in which a refill container storing appropriate contents is stored in a container body.

  Examples of the detachable container in which the refill container is accommodated in the container body include a cosmetic container described in Patent Document 1 and a detachable container disclosed in Patent Document 2.

  Since the cosmetic container described in Patent Document 1 had problems such as strength and appearance, a detachable container excellent in terms of strength and appearance was developed because there were no defects or the like for easy attachment / detachment of Patent Document 2. . However, although the attaching / detaching method of the present invention can be easily taken out, it has been necessary to intentionally apply a certain amount of force when attaching / detaching, and it is necessary to attach / detach using both hands. When attaching and detaching with contents contained, the contents sometimes jumped out of the refill container due to vibration during attachment and detachment. Moreover, although it can also be attached and detached by pressing a finger against the inner peripheral surface of the refill container and pushing it up toward the container body 2, there is a problem that the contents cannot be slid and taken out well with the contents still inside. .

  Preferred embodiments of the present invention are illustrated and described below.

  The detachable container of this embodiment is a detachable container in which a refill container 1 containing appropriate contents as shown in FIG. 1 is mounted on the inside of a container body 2, and is shown in FIGS. As shown in FIG. 5, a locking projection 1a and a sliding projection 1b are provided on the outer peripheral surface of the refill container 1, and the locking projection 1a is formed in the container body 2 as shown in FIGS. 9, 10, 11, and 12, so that the locking convex portion 1 a is disengaged from the concave portion 2 a, as shown in FIGS. 9, 10, 11, and 12. When the refill container 1 is elastically deformed, the slide convex part presses against the inclined part 2b provided so as to spread toward the opening side of the container body 2 and slides to the opening side, so that refilling can be performed easily and smoothly with one hand. Container 1 can be removed from container body 2 It is.

  Each member of the refill container 1 and the container body 2 constituting the detachable container can be manufactured by molding an appropriate synthetic resin such as polypropylene.

  As shown in FIGS. 5, 6, and 7, the refill container 1 and the container main body 2 are configured so that the refill container 1 is not detached from the container main body 2 by engaging the locking convex portion 1 a with the concave portion 2 a.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the lock convex portions 1 a can be provided at two locations so as to face each other, and the slide convex portions 1 b can also be provided at two locations so as to face each other. As shown in FIG. 5, the positional relationship between the locking convex portion 1a and the sliding convex portion 1b is such that the lines (AA lines and BB lines) connecting the central portions of the two are orthogonal to each other. be able to.

  By adopting such a positional relationship, the vicinity of the opposing locking convex portion 1a is pinched so as to apply a force toward the center of the refill container 1, or one of the locking convex portions 1a is directed toward the center. By adding, the refill container 1 bends, and a force is applied in such a direction that the portion in the vicinity of the slide projection 1b is deformed and pushes the container body 2.

  As shown in FIG. 9 (a) and FIG. 11 (a), when the locking convex portion 1a and the concave portion 2a are engaged, a force is exerted on the vicinity of the locking convex portion 1a of the refill container 1 toward the center of the refill container 1. 9 (b) and FIG. 11 (b), the refill container 1 is lifted and removed from the container body 2.

  When the locking convex portion 1a and the concave portion 2a are engaged, the sliding convex portion 1b contacts the inclined portion 2b of the container body 2 as shown in FIG. 8, FIG. 10 (a), and FIG. 12 (a). doing. By releasing the engagement between the locking convex portion 1a and the concave portion 2a, a force is applied in such a direction that the sliding convex portion 1b pushes the container body 2. Therefore, since the inclined portion 2b is provided so as to spread toward the opening side of the container body 2, the sliding convex portion 1b moves to the opening side along the inclined surface.

  As shown in FIGS. 10B and 12B, the refill container 1 is smoothly lifted and removed from the container main body 2 so as to be pressed against the inclined portion 2 b.

  Note that the sliding projection 1b can be brought into contact with the inclined portion 2b from a state where it does not come into contact by elastic deformation, and can be slid by pressing (not shown).

  When the refill container 1 is bent, a locking convex portion 1a is provided at a portion where a force is applied toward the center side of the refill container 1, and at least a sliding convex portion 1b is provided at a portion where the force is applied toward the container body 2. Is provided.

  The side shown in FIG. 2 is the front side, and the side shown in FIG. 3 is the right side, but these directions are for convenience of explanation.

[Refill container 1]
As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the refill container 1 has a bottomed cylindrical shape that opens upward, and has a shape that gradually spreads from the bottom side toward the opening side, and an inner lid 3b is fitted to the opening edge. I am trying to let you. The refill container 1 contains cosmetics such as creams, gels, pastes, liquids, foods, and the like, and can be sold separately from the container body 2 for replacement after the contents are used up. Further, the refill container 1 can be attached to another container main body 2 with cosmetics such as cream in it.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, a locking projection 1 a is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the refill container 1. The locking convex portion 1 a can be provided on any portion of the outer peripheral surface of the refill container 1 as long as it can engage with the concave portion 2 a provided on the inner peripheral surface of the container body 2. However, the present invention has a structure in which the locking convex portion 1 a engaged with the concave portion 2 a is removed by elastically deforming the refill container 1 accommodated in the container main body 2. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 9, the refill container 1 is elastically deformed by pushing a portion where the refill container 1 is protruded from the opening of the container body 2. Therefore, in order to easily elastically deform the refill container 1 with one hand, it is desirable to provide the locking convex portion 1 a in the vicinity of the opening on the outer peripheral surface of the refill container 1.

The shape of the locking convex portion 1a is such that when the locking convex portion 1a and the concave portion 2a are engaged, the refill container 1 and the container body 2 are firmly attached when an appropriate content is accommodated in the refill container 1. In addition, when the engagement of the locking convex portion 1a is disengaged from the concave portion 2a, the size and shape can be easily removed and can be easily attached and detached.

  In order to more securely engage the refill container 1 and the container main body 2, for example, the length to the top of the locking convex portion 1a (h1 in FIG. 7β, enlarged sectional view) is lengthened, and the concave portion of the concave portion 2a It is preferable to deepen (h2 in FIG. 7 β section enlarged sectional view). Moreover, it can be engaged more firmly also by lengthening the circumferential direction length of the convex part 1a for a lock | rock. On the contrary, when it is desired to engage the refill container 1 and the container main body 2 so that they are more easily disengaged, the length to the top of the locking projection 1a (h1 in FIG. 7β enlarged sectional view) is shortened, and the recess 2a It is preferable to make the dent part (h2 in FIG. 7β enlarged sectional view) shallow. In addition, by shortening the circumferential length of the locking projection 1a, it is possible to engage more easily. Furthermore, by changing the angle of a contact location, it can be engaged more firmly or can be engaged more easily.

  On the outer peripheral surface of the refill container 1, a slide convex portion 1b is provided in parallel with the opening edge. As in the case of the locking convex portion 1a, it is desirable that it be provided near the opening.

  In addition, the slide protrusion 1b is more smoothly removed without being fitted into the recess 2a when the top of the slide protrusion 1b is positioned closer to the opening than the top of the lock protrusion 1a. Therefore, it is preferable.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the locking convex portion 1 a has a length that extends 45 degrees from the center of the refill container 1 (the point where the AA line and the BB line intersect), and the sliding convex portion 1 b When the length is 90 degrees from the center, when the contents are put in the refill container 1, the container body 2 does not come off even if the refill container 1 is held, and it can be easily attached and detached with one hand. It was. However, the length is not limited to the above length, and the engagement becomes more difficult to disengage if the length extending from the center of the relief container 1 of the locking convex portion 1a is increased, and the engagement is more easily disengaged if shortened. . The engagement state of the detachable container of the present invention can be appropriately changed depending on the application. In addition, the slide convex portion 1b has a reasonably long length rather than a short length, so that the slope becomes more slippery and can be smoothly attached and detached.

  The sliding convex portion 1b can make the inclined portion 2b into a gentle mountain shape so as to be more slippery.

  The lock convex portion 1a is shorter than the slide convex portion 1b so that it can be easily attached and detached, and the slide convex portion 1b is longer than the lock convex portion 1a so as to make the inclined portion 2b more slippery. preferable.

  Moreover, in order to make the upper edge part of the refill container 1 elastically deform and bend easily, by providing a so-called meat stealer 1d having a concave shape on the upper edge part of the refill container 1, the refill container 1 can be more easily made. It can be bent and becomes lighter. Further, by providing the meat stealing 1d, it is possible to make it easier to hook a finger or a nail when bending.

  As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, if the meat stealing 1d is provided near the upper edge of the slide convex portion 1b and the portion not provided with the meat stealing 1d is provided near the upper edge of the locking convex portion 1a, the meat stealing 1d is provided. By pushing or grasping the vicinity where there is no protrusion, the locking convex portion 1a is bent toward the center of the refill container 1, and the sliding convex portion 1b is easily bent toward the container main body 2 side.

  Moreover, it is also possible to provide the rib 1e which shows that the part which does not provide the meat stealing 1d near the upper edge of the locking convex part 1a is a part to be pushed or pinched. The part can be marked by molding or printing.

Moreover, the material of the refill container 1 can be made to be easily elastically deformed by using a material that is easily bent or by reducing the thickness of the refill container 1 by a method different from the meat stealing 1d.
[Container body 2]
As shown in FIG. 4, the container body 2 has a bottomed cylindrical shape opened upward, and an outer lid 3a is attached to the opening edge by screwing. As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the container body 2 can be composed of an inner portion 2d and an outer portion 2e.

  On the inner peripheral surface of the container body 2, there is provided a recess 2 a with which the locking protrusion 1 a of the refill container 1 is engaged. The recess 2a is provided in parallel with the opening edge, engages with the locking projection 1a, and allows the refill container 1 and the container body 2 to be attached. It is preferable that the recess 2a is located slightly below the opening edge and is provided in the container body 2 in a circumferential shape.

  The concave portion 2a has a recess having an arc-shaped cross section, and can be engaged by contacting the inclined portion 2b on the mountain-shaped opening side of the locking convex portion 1a. Moreover, it can also engage by the recessed part 2a and the convex part 1a for a lock | rock being fitted.

  Whatever the engagement state, the dimensions and shape of the locking projection 1a and the recess 2a are easily removed when the refill container 1 is elastically deformed so that the locking projection 1a is released from the recess 2a. It consists of.

  Further, the inclined portion 2b can be provided so as to continue to the opening side of the recess 2a as shown in FIGS. It is preferable that the inclined portion 2b and the slide convex portion 1b have dimensions and shapes that allow easy sliding into the opening.

  As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, a knurled 2 c is provided on the inner peripheral surface of the container body 2. As shown in FIG. 9A, the knurled 2 c is configured such that the protrusion 1 c of the refill container 1 enters and the refill container 1 is prevented from rotating. The knurl 2c is preferably formed over the entire circumference.

  The knurl 2c can be provided on a part of the inclined portion 2b of the container body 2 as shown in FIGS. 7, 8, 9, and 10. By doing so, the refill container 1 is prevented from rotating by the knurl 2c and also has the inclined portion 2b.

〔how to use〕
Next, the usage method of this removable container is demonstrated.

  When the refill container 1 is mounted on the container body 2, the refill container 1 may be pushed from above the opening of the container body 2. When the locking projection 1a of the refill container 1 and the recess 2a of the container main body 2 are engaged, the projection 1c and the knurl 2c of the refill container 1 are not detached unless force is intentionally applied. As a result, the refill container 1 is prevented from rotating.

  When removing the refill container 1 from the container body 2, the two ribs 1 e of the refill container 1 are gripped toward the center of the refill container 1, so that the locking projection 1 a and the recess 2 a are disengaged and slide. The refill container 1 rises and comes off the container main body 2 by the projecting convex part 1b sliding to the opening side while pressing against the inclined part 2b and the inclined part.

Moreover, the refill container 1 is similarly removed from the container main body 2 by pushing one of the ribs 1e out of the two ribs 1e of the refill container 1 toward the center of the refill container 1 to release the engagement. Can do.

  As described above, according to the present invention, even if the refill container 1 contains contents, the refill container 1 can be easily detached from the container body 2 with one hand.

  In addition, although the Example described the detachable container which attached the cylindrical refill container 1 to the inner side of the cylindrical container main body 2, the shape of the detachable container of this invention is an ellipse, a rectangle, and a polygon. It is also possible to carry out with other shapes. In particular, in the case of a cylindrical shape, it is possible to easily put the refill container 1 without worrying about the position of the locking convex portion 1a by providing the circumferential concave portion 2a on the inner peripheral surface of the container body 2. Can be convenient. Moreover, it is preferable that the knurl 2c is also provided over the perimeter of the inner peripheral surface of the container main body 2 in that case.

  The above is the preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the configuration of the above-described embodiment, and can be implemented by appropriately changing the shape, dimensions, material, and the like.
