  When the user uses paint of multiple colors for painting, arrange the inner containers 510 by the number of colors, put the paint in them, and put the container 510 containing the paint of the color to be used in the paint bucket 500 By arranging, I was able to do painting work. For this reason, it was not necessary to prepare a plurality of paint buckets 500. However, the net 520 is for adjusting the paint attached to the coating roller, and since the net 520 is attached with the paint currently in use, the net 510 can be used as it is in the container 510 containing the paint of other colors. I could not pick 520. For this reason, it is necessary to wash the net 520 every time using a different color, or to prepare nets by the number of colors.

  The container according to the present invention is a container capable of containing a liquid, wherein the container has an upper part having an opening and an edge around the opening, and a bottom part located at the bottom of the container. A container comprising a side, and at least one protrusion on the side, wherein the area of the opening is larger than the area of the bottom.

  In an embodiment of the present invention, the liquid is a paint, and the at least one protrusion is used to adjust the amount of paint attached to the paint, wherein the at least one protrusion is endless or The cross section of the at least one protrusion may be curved in a plane having a plurality of ends and perpendicular to the direction in which the at least one protrusion extends.

  In one embodiment of the present invention, the at least one protrusion may be a linear line bent upward or downward.

  In an embodiment of the present invention, the at least one projection may be linear and substantially parallel to the bottom.

  In one embodiment of the present invention, the at least one protrusion has a first protrusion and a second protrusion, and the first protrusion and the second protrusion are the side surface and the bottom. When projected onto the side made by these, the projection parts may at least partially overlap.

  In an embodiment of the present invention, the at least one protrusion has a first protrusion and a second protrusion, and the side surface having the first protrusion and the second protrusion. When projected onto the side extending from the opening to the bottom, the projection parts may at least partially overlap.

  In one embodiment of the present invention, the at least one protrusion may be in the form of a plurality of bent linear lines.

  In one embodiment of the present invention, the material of the container may be a transparent or translucent resin.

  In the container according to the present invention, since the container has at least one protrusion on the side, the amount of the paint attached to the paint, for example, a paint roller, a brush, a brush or the like can be adjusted. For this reason, the mesh | network for adjusting a coating becomes unnecessary. In addition, since the area of the opening is larger than the area of the bottom, the container according to the present invention can be stacked, and the space for carrying and storing the container can be reduced compared to the non-overlapping container. . In the present invention, of course, there is no need to transport or store the unnecessary network. In addition, since the mesh is fixed to the paint bucket by the claws, the conventional one is limited in the width of the edge. However, in the present invention, since the network is not required, the width of the edge is not restricted, and the degree of freedom in design is improved. When it is desired to increase the strength of the container or to provide a handle for taking out the container according to the present invention from the paint bucket, the width of the edge can be increased.

FIG. 1 is an external view showing an example of a container according to an embodiment of the present invention. Fig.2 (a)-(d) is a front view which shows an example of the side of the container in embodiment of this invention. FIG. 3 is an external view showing an example of the container in the embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 4 is an external view showing a conventional container.

Below, the container which has a projection part in one embodiment of the present invention is explained, referring to drawings.
FIG. 1 is an external view showing a container 10 in an embodiment of the present invention.

  A container 10 which can be used to contain paint has a top 14 with an opening 12 and an edge around the opening 12, a bottom 16 at the bottom of the container 10 and a side 18 Have. The upper portion 14 is provided to increase the strength of the container 10. In the present embodiment, forming the edge around the opening 12 enhances the strength of the container.

  The shape of the opening 12 has at least four sides, but when the shape of the opening 12 is substantially square, those corners may be chamfered. When the container 10 is molded, it is easier to mold if there is no corner. The length of one side inside the opening 12 may be 200 mm to 250 mm. In addition, the length of the other side inside the opening 12 may be 150 mm to 190 mm. If the length of one side of the opening 12 is 230 mm or more, a 9-inch (229 mm) coating roller can be used. If the length of one side of the opening 12 is 180 mm or more, a 7-inch (178 mm) coating roller can be used.

  In the container 10, the area of the opening 12 is larger than the area of the bottom 16. Thus, the containers 10 can be stacked, and no extra space is taken when selling or transporting the containers 10. Further, since the area of the opening 12 is larger than the area of the bottom 16, the container 10 can be molded by pressing the resin once with a mold.

  The container 10 may have the handle portion 22. The handle 22 is used when placing the container 10 in a paint bucket and then pulling up the container 10 from the paint bucket. Further, in the present invention, the handle portion 22 may be substituted by the upper portion 14 without providing the handle portion 22. In conventional containers, a mesh for adjusting the amount of paint attached to the roller is fixed to the paint bucket with a nail. However, in the present invention, the net is not necessary, and there is no need to design the upper portion 14 of the container 10 in consideration of the claws that fix the net. For this reason, the upper portion 14 can be formed to be larger than the outline of the opening of the paint bucket. In such case, the upper portion 14 may be used when pulling the container 10 out of the paint bucket.

  The side of the container 10 has four sides, and one side of the side 18 is provided with at least one protrusion 20. The protrusions 20 are used to adjust the amount of paint applied to the paint, for example, a paint roller, a brush, a brush or the like.

  Specifically, the user impregnates the roller with the paint by soaking or rolling the roller in a container containing the paint. The roller absorbs the paint more than necessary to apply paint to the wall etc. If the user applies the wall etc with the roller in this state, coating unevenness or drop of paint from the roller may occur Sex is high. Then, the user can adjust the paint which has permeated into the roller by contacting the protrusion 20 while rotating the roller. For this reason, the user can prevent the paint from falling unevenly and from the roller.

  The protrusions 20 are arranged to be convex inside the container 10. The protrusion 20 preferably has a portion where the cross section of the protrusion 20 is curved in a plane perpendicular to the direction in which the protrusion 20 extends. When the protrusion 20 has a shape having a curved portion, the force applied to the protrusion 20 can be dispersed. This curve may be expressed by a function that does not become discontinuous in a predetermined section, such as an arc or a part of an ellipse. Even if the height of the protrusion (the height at which the curve is maximum from the portion where the side surface 18 provided with the protrusion 20 intersects the surface perpendicular to the extending direction of the protrusion 20) is 5 mm to 30 mm Good.

  In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the protrusions 20 are a series of bent upper lines, but the protrusions 20 may be a series of lines bent downward. Also, the protrusion 20 may be in the form of a plurality of bent series.

  The shape of the protrusion in the present embodiment of the present invention is not limited to the above-described shape. Fig.2 (a)-(d) is a figure which shows an example of the side of the container in embodiment of this invention.

  FIG. 2 (a) shows that the side portion 38 has a plurality of linear projections 30, 32, 34 substantially parallel to the bottom. Here, it is preferable that the space | interval a of the projection part 30 and the projection part 32 is 40 mm or less. If the distance a is too large, the roller does not roll on the protrusions 30 and 32, so it becomes difficult to adjust the paint that has permeated into the roller.

  FIG. 2B is a view showing a state in which a part of the first protrusion 40 is sandwiched by a part of the second protrusion 42. In other words, when the first projection 40 and the second projection 42 are projected on the side of the opening of the side surface 48 having them, a part of their projection parts overlap. As shown in FIG. 2 (b), by disposing the protrusions 40, 42 on the side portion 48, the roller can be smoothly rolled on the protrusions 40, 42, and the paint impregnated in the rollers is adjusted It becomes easy to do.

  In the example shown in FIG. 2 (b), although the protrusion 40 is in the form of a straight line bent upward, and the protrusion 42 is in the form of a continuous line bent downward, they are reversed. It may be. Further, the protrusion 40 may be linear or may have a plurality of refracted portions. Similarly, the protrusion 42 may be straight or may have a plurality of refracted portions.

  FIG. 2C is a view showing a state in which the first protrusion 50 sandwiches the second protrusion 52. In other words, when the first projection 50 and the second projection 52 are projected onto the side extending from the opening to the bottom of the side surface 58 having them, those projection parts overlap. As shown in FIG. 2 (c), by disposing the protrusions 50, 52 on the side portion 58, the roller can be smoothly rolled on the protrusions 50, 52, and the paint impregnated in the rollers can be adjusted. It becomes easy to do.

  In the example shown in FIG. 2C, the protrusion 50 is linear, but the protrusion 50 may have at least one refracted portion. Similarly, in the example shown in FIG. 2C, the protrusions 52 are straight, but the protrusions 52 may have at least one refracted portion. Even if at least one of the first protrusion 50 and the second protrusion 52 is not linear, the opening of the side surface 58 having the first protrusion 50 and the second protrusion 52. When projected onto the side extending from the portion to the bottom, the protrusions may be arranged such that the projected portions overlap.

  FIG. 2D is a view showing endless projections 60 and 62. When the first projection 60 and the second projection 62 are projected on the side of the opening of the side surface 68 having the projections 60 and 62, a part or all of the projection parts overlap, and When the first projection 50 and the second projection 52 are projected onto the side extending from the opening of the side surface 68 to the bottom, a part or all of the projected parts thereof overlap. As shown in FIG. 2 (d), by disposing the protrusions 60, 62 on the side 68, the roller can be smoothly rolled on the protrusions 60, 62, and the paint impregnated in the rollers can be adjusted. It becomes easy to do.

  Moreover, although the projection parts 60 and 62 shown in FIG.2 (d) were endless form, you may combine and use an endless-shaped projection part and the projection part which has an edge part.

  Also, in FIGS. 2 (a) to 2 (c), although a plurality of protrusions are drawn on the side surface, for example, even if the ends of the respective protrusions are connected to form one protrusion, It has the same effect as the protrusions shown in 2 (a) to (c). The protrusion shown in FIG. 2 (d) has no end, but even if the protrusions shown in FIG. 2 (d) are connected, they have the same effect as the protrusion shown in FIG. 2 (d). .

  Even when the roller smoothly rolls on the protrusion, if the bristles of the roller are longer than the height of the protrusion from the side, the bristles of the roller are in the valley between the protrusion and the protrusion There is a possibility of contact. Similarly, even if the roller is in the form of a sponge, when the roller is pressed strongly against the projection, the roller may come into contact with the valley between the projection and the projection.

  In the container 10 described above, at least one protrusion 80, 84 is provided on one side, but the invention is not limited thereto. That is, at least one protrusion may be provided on the other side surface.
