Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a container in which a lid is removably fitted to an opening, and particularly relates to a container in which the lid can be easily removed.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, a container having a lid removably fitted to the opening is disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 59-758.

As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the device disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 59-758 has an annular flange 23 formed on the outer periphery of the opening 22 of the container 21.
An elastic sealing material 24 is superimposed on top of the elastic sealing material 24, and a lid body 25 is fitted onto the top of the elastic sealing material 24.A peripheral wall 26 is provided vertically at the outer peripheral end of the lid body 25, and a hooking piece is provided at a position opposite to the peripheral wall 26. 27 is formed. This hanging piece 2
7 has a claw portion 28 formed on its inner lower edge to be hooked to the lower surface of the flange portion 23, and has slits 29 on both sides to provide elasticity, thereby allowing the lid 25 to be removed from the container 21. When removing the flange portion 2, manually bend the locking piece 27.
3 is released and removed.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

However, in the case shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, in order to remove the lid 25 from the container 21, the user usually hooks the index finger or thumb on the latch 27, and then removes the lid 25 from the container 21. The claw portion 28 is flexed to release the hook portion 28 from the flange portion 23. However, recently, there has been an increase in the number of people who grow their nails for the purpose of cleaning themselves, and when these people open the lid 25 in the same manner as described above, their nails hit the side wall 30 of the container 21, causing them to peel off their nails. This is particularly inconvenient for cosmetic containers, which are likely to be used by people who grow their nails for the purpose of moisturizing, as the force exerted by them may damage their fingertips. Ta.

The present invention was devised in view of the above-mentioned matters, and is a container lid removal device and a container lid removal device that allows the lid to be opened easily, and in particular, allows even a person with long fingernails to safely open the lid. The technical challenge is to do so.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to solve the above-mentioned technical problem, the present invention takes the following technical measures in a container 3 in which a lid 2 is removably fitted into an opening 1.

That is, a strip 6 is extended from the upper part of the side wall 7 of the container 3, an insertion hole 10 is formed in the base end 9 of the strip 6 on the container side, and the strip 6 is wound around the distal end 4 of the strip 6. is inserted into the insertion hole 10 from below to form a wound spring portion 11, and the tip portion 4 of the band-shaped body 6 is brought into contact with the lower end edge 12 of the lid body 2.

[Effect]

A strip 6 is extended from the top of the side wall 7 of the container 3, an insertion hole 10 is formed in the base end 9 of the strip 6 on the container side, the strip 6 is wound, and the tip 4 is inserted from below. The band-like body 6 is inserted into the insertion hole 10 to form a wound spring portion 11, and this wound spring portion 11 is inserted into the second wound spring portion 11.
By pressing as shown in Figures A and B, the tip 4 of the strip 6 comes into contact with the lower edge 12 of the lid 2, and by continuing to press, the tip 4 contacts the opening 1 of the container 3. The locking of the externally fitted lid body 2 is released. Therefore, it is not necessary to hook the fingertip on the lid 2 to open the lid 2.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described based on FIG. 1 and FIGS. 2A and 2B.

The container lid removal device of this embodiment is a container 3 in which a lid 2 is removably fitted into an opening 1, and a strip 6 having a groove 5 in its tip 4 is attached to an upper part of a side wall 7 of the container 3. This band-like body 6 has a bent groove 8 formed on its lower surface. And the strip 6
The band-shaped body 6 is bent and wound through the bending groove 8 into the insertion hole 10 formed in the base end 9 on the container side, and the tip 4 is inserted into the insertion hole 10 from below to form a wound spring portion. 11 is formed. Furthermore, the tip portion 4 of this band-shaped body 6 is brought into contact with the lower end edge 12 of the lid body 2.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained.

By bending and winding the band-shaped body 6 through the bending groove 8 and inserting the tip end 4 into the insertion hole 10 from below, the wound spring part 11 formed is pressed as shown in FIGS. 2A and B. The groove 5 of the tip 4 of the strip 6 comes into contact with the lower edge 12 of the lid 2, and the groove 5 allows the tip 4 to be pressed without coming off the lower edge 12. By continuing, the tip 4 releases the lid 2 fitted over the opening 1 of the container 3.

Next, another embodiment will be described based on FIGS. 3 and 4. Note that the same parts as in the previous embodiment are given the same reference numerals, and the explanation thereof will be omitted.

The band-like body 6 of this embodiment has a first bending groove 8a and a second bending groove 8b formed on the lower surface side.

In this embodiment, when the band 6 is bent and wound, the part beyond the first bending groove 8a becomes a straight line as shown in FIG. Make sure to make contact. In addition, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the tip of the band-like body 6 is
A similar effect can be obtained by bending it into a letter shape and forming a bending groove 8 on the lower surface side.

Although the bending hole 4 is formed in the lower surface of the strip 6 in the embodiment, the bending hole 4 may be omitted and the strip 6 may simply be wound. However, it is easier to bend if the bending hole 4 is provided. Further, although the band-shaped body 6 is integrally molded with the container 3, an annular member formed by extending the band-shaped body 6 may be fitted to the container 3, and the shape and material of the container 3 may be changed depending on the purpose. It goes without saying that this is a good thing.

[Effect of idea]

The present invention allows the lid 2 to be unlocked by simply pinching and pressing the coiled spring part 11 with your fingers, making it easy to open the lid. When a "person" removes the lid 2 from the container 3, there is no need for the person's fingernails to hit the side wall 7 of the container 3 or the lower edge 12 of the lid 2 and injure his or her fingertips. In a cosmetic container that is considered to be used often by people who grow their nails for fun, the lid body 2 can be opened safely even when the nails are extended.
