JP6976662B2 - Container with lid - Google Patents

Description

The present invention prevents the lid from being opened by, for example, an infant, a patient with dementia, etc. who does not allow the lid to be opened (hereinafter referred to as a non-target person), and a person other than the non-target person (hereinafter referred to as a target person). The lid body is related to a box-shaped container having a child resistance function that allows the lid to be opened.

Many of the conventional containers have a simple fitting structure so that the lid can be removed immediately when the user wants to use the container, and many of them focus on the ease of removing and attaching the lid (for example, Patent Document 1). reference). However, since the emphasis was only on the ease of removing and attaching the lid in this way, as a result, anyone can easily remove the lid by simply pulling the lid, and the contents can be taken out. Has become free to do.

Under normal usage conditions where the user fully understands the characteristics of the contents to be stored or filled, such ease of removal of the lid is convenient and has no problem, a very desirable form. Is. However, there is a concern that the lid can be easily removed even by a person who does not fully understand the characteristics of the contents to be stored or filled.

That is, it is possible that a non-target person handles the contents without understanding the degree of danger of the contents and carelessly removes the lid of the container to touch the contents or accidentally swallow the contents.
In order to deal with such a problem, it is required to impart a function that cannot be easily removed by a non-target person, that is, a so-called child resistance function, to the container to be filled or the lid thereof. The container having the child resistance function can be removed, for example, while the conventional container lid can be removed by simply pulling the lid in the direction in which the lid and the container body are separated from each other, whereas the lid is simply pulled. The lid body cannot be removed only by the operation, and an operation different from pulling the lid body before or at the same time is performed on the lid body or the like, thereby removing the lid body.

The operation performed on the lid or the like for the child resistance function is not too complicated as compared with the operation of removing the lid with the conventional closing tool, and it is easy for the subject to remove the conventional lid. It is preferable that the lid can be sufficiently secured and the removal of the lid can be prevented against the opening operation by a non-target person.
