Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Field of industrial application] The present invention relates to a container for seasoning, and in particular, it consists of a pair of container bodies imitating dolls, etc., and the container bodies are brought into contact with each other, or the container bodies are Relating to a seasoning container that is configured so that a part of the surface of the container body emits light when lifted separately from the table, and is devised to decorate the table beautifully and give a sense of beauty and enjoyment to the people surrounding the table. It is something.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, container bodies with various simple designs have been widely used as seasoning containers placed on dining tables and the like.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

Conventional seasoning containers such as those shown above are merely modified in shape, and a typical example is a simple cylindrical design.

However, there has never been a container for seasoning that has a luminescent function or the like to provide a beautiful sensation and entertain the user.

[Means for solving problems]

The present invention provides the seasoning container itself with a light-emitting function, and also allows the pair of container bodies to be in contact with each other.
A part of the container body emits light when lifted from the table, and by giving light to the table, the light reflects beautifully on the tableware, etc. on the table, giving the user a beautiful feeling. It was devised for the purpose of providing a seasoning container that can be enjoyed, and consists of a pair of container bodies shaped like dolls, etc., and has a battery and a switch circuit inside the container body. The light source inside the container body is lit by the conduction of
The light from the light source is guided through the container body using an optical fiber, and the light is emitted from a portion of the container body, and the switch circuit is opened and closed by the sliding action of a sliding piece that protrudes from the container body. The container body is characterized in that the sliding pieces protruding from the container body are arranged on the side and bottom surfaces of the container body, and the pair of container bodies are placed on a table and are in contact with each other. In this state, the sliding piece placed on the side is pressed and slides, the switch circuit becomes conductive, and the light source lights up, and the light source does not light up when the pair of container bodies are separated from each other, and When the pair of container bodies are lifted separately from the table, the sliding piece placed on the bottom slides and the switch circuit becomes conductive, turning on the light source, and when the container bodies are placed on the table. The device is characterized in that the sliding piece placed on the bottom surface is pressed so that the switch circuit is cut off and the light source does not turn on.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, the configuration of the present invention will be explained based on the drawings.

The drawings show an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 1 is a front view of a pair of seasoning containers of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram of one of the seasoning containers of the pair shown in FIG. 1 in use. 3 is an enlarged partially cutaway front view of one of the pair of seasoning containers shown in FIG. 1.

A pair of container bodies 1 and 2 shaped like dolls are each provided with holes 11 and 2 for shaking out seasonings,
The container body 1 has a button expression part 12 and a light emitting part 12.
1. The bouquet expression section 13 is provided with a light emitting section 131, and the container body 2 is provided with a light emitting section 221 on the ribbon expression section 22 and a light emitting section 231 on the bouquet expression section 23.

Both of the container bodies 1 and 2 can be held separately with a hand 3 to shake out the seasoning inside the inner container 4, as shown in FIG.

FIG. 3 shows an enlarged view partially cut away to show the internal structure of the container body 2.
A similar internal structure is also provided symmetrically. (It is not shown because it has the same internal structure as the internal structure of the container body 2.) In the drawings, the container body 2 will be representatively shown and explained below.

There is an inner container 4 inside the container body 2, and the inner container 4
Seasonings are stored inside. As shown in FIG. 3, the container body 2, which resembles a doll, includes a battery 5, lead wires 51, 51, switches 6, 7, sliding pieces 61, 71, and a device for biasing the sliding pieces 61, 71. A switch circuit is constructed which includes conductors 62 and 72 which also serve as springs, a light source 9 made of a light bulb or a light emitting diode, etc., and an optical fiber 10 is arranged to guide the light from the light source to the light emitting part.

The switch circuit is opened and closed by sliding of the sliding pieces 61 and 71 as described later.

When either switch 6 or 7 becomes conductive, light source 9
lights up, and the light from the light source 9 is guided by the optical fiber 10 to each of the plurality of light emitting sections 221, 2.
31 is designed to emit light.

The light emitting part 221 is provided in the ribbon expression part 22,
Further, since the light emitting section 231 is provided in the bouquet expression section 23, when these light emitting sections 211 and 231 emit light, it is expressed as if the ribbon or the bouquet were glowing.

The switch 6 provided on the side of the container body 2 is constructed as follows. That is, the sliding piece 61 that protrudes from the side surface of the container body 2 is always biased in the direction of arrow c by the conductor 62 which also serves as a spring, and the container bodies 1 and 2 are brought into contact with each other as shown in FIG. Then, the sliding piece 61 is pressed in the direction of the arrow d, the switch 6 becomes conductive, the light source 9 lights up, and the light emitting part 2
21 and 231 emit light. Although not shown, since the container body 1 has a similar configuration, the light emitting parts 121 and 131 of the container body 1 also emit light.

The switch 7 provided at the bottom of the container body 2 is constructed as follows. That is, the sliding piece 71 that protrudes from the bottom surface of the container body 2 is always biased in the direction of arrow a by the conductor 72 which also serves as a spring, but when the container body 2 is placed on the table 8. Since the sliding piece 71 is pressed in the direction of arrow b by the table 8, the switch 7 is shut off as shown in FIG. Therefore, the sliding piece 71 is urged in the direction of arrow a, and the switch 7
conducts, the light source 9 lights up, the light from the light source is guided by the optical fiber 10, and the light emitting part 221
and 231 are designed to emit light. Also,
It should be noted that if a blinking circuit is interposed in the circuit, it is also possible to make the light emit blink, and this is within the scope of the technical content of the present invention.

[Action and effect]

Since the seasoning container of the present invention has the above-described structure, the seasoning container itself has a light-emitting function, and moreover, when a pair of container bodies are brought into contact or lifted from a table, one part of the container body is By making the parts emit light and shining light onto the table, the light reflects beautifully on the tableware, etc. on the table, giving the user a sense of beauty and enjoyment.
