Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] <Industrial Application Field> The present invention relates to an improvement of a portable liquid seasoning container for storing liquid seasonings such as soy sauce and sauces and carrying the container together with a bean bag or the like.

<Prior Art> This type of portable liquid seasoning container is composed of a container body into which a liquid seasoning is placed, and a cap provided on the container body to close an opening. Various design improvements have been made to the container body, such as imitating the shape of a fish, but the cap is simply screwed onto the mouth of the main body and has no special design improvements. Ta.

<Problems to be solved by the invention> Therefore, the inventor of the present invention attempted to make various design improvements to the cap as well. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the container body A is made to imitate the shape of a tomato fruit, and the cap B is made to imitate the shape of a tomato leaf, so that a uniform design is adopted throughout.

However, as shown in Fig. 5, due to the formation and tightening of the screws for screwing the container body a and the cap b together, the container body a and the cap b are often stopped at an inappropriate angle. be. This kind of thing is very ugly in terms of design,
Also, the cap tends to collide with other objects, and the slight momentum causes the cap to come loose. moreover,
As will be described later, even if this liquid seasoning container is to be stored in the recess 24 of the lid 22 of the lunchbox 21, there is a problem in that the cap gets in the way and cannot be stored (see FIG. 3).

<Means for Solving the Problems> Therefore, the present invention consists of a container body consisting of a front part, a back part, and a peripheral part disposed between the two, a protrusion protruding from the back part of the container body, and a container body. A decorative cap having a liquid seasoning inlet/outlet opening protruding from an appropriate location on the periphery of the main body, a screw cap screwed into the opening, and a recess into which the screw cap is inserted;
A portable liquid seasoning container comprising a large number of protrusions formed on each of the outer surface of the screw cap and the inner wall surface of the recess, the protrusions extending in the axial direction of the screw cap. The above problem is solved by providing the following.

<Examples> Examples of the present invention will be described below based on the drawings.

FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of a portable liquid seasoning container 1 according to an embodiment. , and a cap that closes this mouth. This cap consists of a screw cap 4 and a decorative cap 5. The screw cap 4 has a female thread formed on its inner periphery, and is screwed together with a male thread formed on the outer periphery of the opening 3 of the container body to close the opening. The decorative cap 5 has a recess 6 into which the screw cap 4 is fitted. In this embodiment, as shown in the figure, a large number of protrusions extending in the vertical direction are formed on the outer circumferential wall of the screw cap 4 and on the inner wall of the recess 6 of the decorative cap 5, respectively.

In the liquid seasoning container 1 constructed as described above, the screw cap 4 is screwed into the mouth 3 of the container body 2, and the screw cap 4 is inserted into the decorative cap 5. When removing the cap, use screw cap 4.
is fitted into the decorative cap 5, so by pinching and rotating the decorative cap 5, the threaded connection between the screw cap 4 and the opening 2 of the container body can be unscrewed. Next, when tightening the cap, hold the decorative cap 5 with the screw cap 4 fitted therein, screw the internal screw cap 4 and the mouth 2 of the container body together, and tighten. At this time, if the angle between the container body 2 and the decorative cap 5 is inappropriate, the decorative cap 5 may be pulled out and reattached at an appropriate angle.

Note that the size of the above-mentioned protrusions provided on the outer periphery of the screw cap 4 and the inner wall of the recess 6 of the decorative cap 5 is arbitrary, and these protrusions are made small.
Alternatively, it may be omitted and both caps 4 and 5 may be rotated in a fitted state. On the contrary, these protrusions are made larger so that they cannot be rotated when both caps 4 and 5 are fitted, and the angle can be adjusted by unfitting both caps 4 and 5 and adjusting the angle again. They may also be fitted together.

Next, other embodiments and usage examples will be described based on FIGS. 2 and 3.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a portable liquid seasoning container seen from the back, and as in the first embodiment, this seasoning container 11 includes a container body 12 and a screw cap 14 screwed into its mouth. , and a decorative cap 15 which is detachably attached to the outside and whose angle can be freely adjusted. An engaging portion 17 is formed in the container body 12.

FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a lunch box. This lunch box is a sealed container consisting of a main body 21 and a lid 22. On the surface of the lid 22, small and portable seasonings of various shapes are stored. A recess 24 is formed in which the container 11 can be accommodated.

Although not shown, an engaging portion corresponding to the engaging portion 17 of the seasoning container described above is formed in this recessed portion 24 for storage. And seasoning container 11
The engaging portion 17 is fitted into the engaging portion provided in the storage recess 24 of the lid 22, and the seasoning container 11 is fixed within the storage recess 24 of the lid. The recess 24 is formed to be slightly larger than the seasoning container 11, and can be replaced with a seasoning container of various shapes other than those shown in FIGS. 2 and 3.
It can be fixed and stored within 4. At this time, if the angles between the container body of the seasoning container 11 and the cap do not match well, the seasoning container 11 cannot be stored in the recess 24. However, in the present invention, if the angles of the decorative cap 15 and the main body 12 do not match properly, the decorative cap 15 can be pulled out from the screw cap 14, adjusted to an appropriate angle, and then fitted again. It can be stored in the recess 24 even when the camera is in use. It should be noted that the engaging portions provided in the engaging portion 17 of the seasoning container and the storage recess 24 of the lid body may be provided with appropriate engaging means, such as having corresponding concavities and convexities, respectively.

In the above example, the shape of the liquid seasoning container is
Although the shape was modeled after vegetables such as tomatoes and carrots, the shape can be changed to various shapes such as animals, fish, and manga characters. or,
The material is preferably made of synthetic resin, but it is also possible to change it to other materials.

<Effects of the Invention> According to the present invention, even if the container body and the cap are stopped at an inappropriate angle, the angle between the screw cap and the decorative cap can be freely adjusted. Therefore, the angle of only the decorative cap can be adjusted without loosening the threaded connection between the container body and the screw cap, and the container body and the cap can always be aligned at an appropriate angle.

As a result, it is possible to prevent the container body and the cap from becoming misaligned and look unsightly, and
Even when it is stored inside the lid of a lunch box as in the embodiment, the cap does not get in the way. Therefore, it has been possible to provide a portable liquid seasoning container that is not only good in design but also easy to use.
