Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a capped container, and more particularly to a capped container configured to open and close the cap with one hand.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 For example, as a container for shampoo, rinse, and the like, a container with a cap, in which a cap is attached to the upper part of the container body filled with contents, is often used. FIG. 4 shows a conventional container 1 with a cap of this kind.

The container 1 with a cap is composed of a container body 2 and a cap 3. The container body 2 is filled with contents such as shampoo and rinse, and an opening 4 is formed in the upper part thereof. Further, the cap 3 is a lid formed integrally with the cap body 5 and the cap body 5 and a hinge portion (not shown in the figure because it is located on the back side in the figure). And part 6.

Further, in the conventional cap-equipped container 1, the opening 4 of the container body 2 is formed so as to open vertically upward. Therefore, as shown in the same figure, the cap 3 is also in an upright state. It was mounted on the main body 2.

When the contents in the cap-equipped container 1 having the above-mentioned configuration are taken out, the lid portion 6 is pushed up by a finger to open the cap 3, and the contents are taken out. Further, the lid portion 6 is configured to be opened with one hand from the viewpoint of improving usability.

[0006]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 In the above-described conventional container 1 with a cap, the opening 4 of the container body 2 is formed to open vertically upward as described above, and accordingly, the cap 3 is also mounted on the container body 2 in an upright state. Since the lid 6 is opened, the direction in which the lid 6 is opened with the finger is also vertically upward (indicated by the arrow in the actual battle in the figure).

However, when the lid 6 is to be opened with one hand, the lid 6 is usually opened with the thumb, but the operation of the thumb is a rotation operation around the base of the thumb. (Indicated by dashed arrows in the figure).

As described above, in the conventional container 1 with a cap, the operation of opening the lid 6 is different from the operation of the thumb for opening the lid 6, and thus the opening operation of the lid 6 is performed. There was a problem that it could not be performed smoothly and was not easy to use. Further, since a force in an oblique direction different from the lid opening direction is applied to the hinge portion, so-called hinge breakage may occur, and there is a problem that the reliability of the capped container 1 is reduced.

The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and an object of the present invention is to provide a container with a cap, which has improved usability and reliability.

[0010]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above problems, in the present invention, a cap body provided with a discharge port is integrally formed with the cap body so as to be openable and closable via a hinge portion, and when the cap is closed, the discharge is performed. In a container with a cap, which is formed by attaching a cap provided with a closure that closes the outlet to the opening of the container body, the opening of the container body is tilted to form a vertical lid. It is characterized in that the cover is opened in an oblique direction with respect to the direction.

[0011]

[Action]

 According to the container with a cap having the above-described configuration, since the lid is opened obliquely with respect to the vertical direction by forming the opening of the container main body in an inclined manner, it is possible to operate the lid with the fingers. Since the lids are opened in the same direction, the lids can be smoothly opened, and a force different from the lid opening direction can be prevented from being applied to the hinges.

[0012]

【Example】

 Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a front view of a capped container 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a partial rear view of the capped container 10.

The container 10 with a cap is composed of a cap 11 and a container body 12. The cap 11 and the container body 12 are separately resin-molded, and then the cap 11 is attached to the container body 12. Be integrated.

FIG. 3 is an enlarged sectional view of the cap 11. The cap 11 includes a cap body 13, a lid portion 14, a hinge portion 15, a fitting portion 16 and the like. The cap body 13 is attached to the container body 12 by fitting the fitting portion 16 into an opening 17 formed in the container body 12 described later. The lid portion 14 is integrally attached to the cap body 13 by a hinge portion 15 so that the lid portion 14 can be freely opened and closed.

Further, the cap body 13 has a discharge port 18 formed on the upper surface thereof, and a cap 19 that closes the discharge port 18 by closing the lid portion 14 is formed. Then, in the state where the lid portion 14 is closed, the stopper 19 is configured to fit into the discharge port 18 in a liquid-tight manner and close the opening portion 17 of the container body 12. Further, the claw portion 20 is formed at a position different from the position where the hinge portion 15 is formed on the lid portion 14 to improve the operability when the lid portion 14 is opened.

The container body 12 is an essential part of the present invention, and is characterized in that the opening 17 is inclined.

The container body 12 has a size that can be grasped by one hand, and when the lid 14 is opened, the container body 12 is usually grasped by four fingers excluding the thumb and the thumb is used. This is performed by pushing up the claw portion 20 formed on the lid portion 14 in the upward direction.

As described above, by forming the opening 17 with an inclination, the cap 11 attached to the opening 17 is also attached to the container body 12 in a state of being inclined from the vertical direction as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. Be done.

In the cap-equipped container 10 having the above-described structure, when attention is paid to the opening direction of the lid portion 14 and the operation direction of the lid portion 14 with the thumb, the opening direction of the lid portion 14 is indicated by a solid arrow in each drawing. In addition, the operation direction of the lid portion 14 by the thumb is the direction indicated by the broken arrow in each drawing. As is clear from each drawing, the opening direction of the lid portion 14 and the operation direction of the lid portion 14 by the thumb are substantially the same by forming the opening portion 17 in a tilted manner. Therefore, the operation force by the thumb is applied in the lid opening direction of the lid portion 14, and the lid opening operation of the lid portion 14 can be smoothly performed.

On the other hand, the hinge portion 15 has a thinner wall than the other components of the cap 11 in order to improve the pivotability of the lid portion 14, and has a relatively weak strength. Therefore, as described above, when a force in a direction different from the rotating direction of the lid portion 14 is applied to the hinge portion 15, the hinge may be broken. However, as described above, the opening portion 17 is formed so as to be inclined, and the opening direction of the lid portion 14 and the operation direction of the lid portion 14 by the thumb are substantially the same, so that the hinge portion 15 is opened. The external force in the direction different from the lid direction is not applied, the breakage of the hinge is prevented, and the reliability of the capped container 10 can be improved.

In the above embodiment, the cap-equipped container 10 suitable for operation with the right thumb (suitable for right-handed operator) is shown, but when operating with the left thumb, the cap 11 is used. Can be easily dealt with by rotating 180 degrees from the state of FIG.

Further, as a structure for realizing the effect of the present invention, it is conceivable that the container main body is left as the conventional structure and the rotation direction of the discharge port of the cap and the rotation direction of the lid part are inclined. With this structure, the mold structure for forming the cap is complicated and unrealistic.

Further, in the above-mentioned embodiment, although the inclination angle of the opening is not mentioned, this inclination angle is different depending on the diameter size of the container body and the disposition position of the lid portion. Is. Therefore, it is desirable that the angle of inclination of the opening be selected to have the best operability, depending on the structure of the container body and the cap to which the present invention is applied.

[0024]

[Effect of the device]

 As described above, according to the present invention, since the lid is opened obliquely with respect to the vertical direction by forming the opening of the container body at an angle, the direction of opening the lid with the finger and the opening of the lid. Since the lids are in the same direction, it is possible to open the lid smoothly, and it is possible to prevent the hinge from being applied with a force in a direction different from the lid opening direction. It has features such as improved container reliability.
