Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a storage container.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 Conventionally, when shopping at a supermarket or the like, the purchased product is put in a polyethylene bag (so-called plastic bag) or put by the shopper himself. Such bags are no longer needed after returning home, but because of the convenience of being a substitute for garbage bags, they are often kept for reuse without throwing away. At that time, the vinyl bags are collectively stored in other bags or boxes.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in such a conventional storage form, when the amount of the plastic bag to be stored increases, the storage device itself also becomes large, which is an obstacle. Moreover, when reusing the vinyl bag, the workability when taking out only one of the multiple bags was poor.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and provides a storage container capable of more compactly storing a large number of stored items and easily taking out one of the stored items. For the purpose of provision.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above problems, according to the present invention, a cylindrical container body for accommodating stored items and a container body that can be moved to the container body to restrict movement of the stored items in one direction. And a bottom member fitted inside. Further, it is desirable that a stopper with which the stored items are abutted is provided on one end side of the container body, and that the stopper forms a take-out port for the stored items. Further, it is preferable that the bottom member is detachable from the container body.

Further, when the bottom member is in a stopped state due to a frictional force with the inner peripheral surface of the container body, the bottom member is formed of an elastic member while the inner peripheral surface of the container body is formed. Therefore, it is desirable to provide a plurality of convex portions in the moving region of the bottom member, and in that case, it is preferable to form the bottom member with sponge.

[0007]

[Action]

 In the above structure, since the container body is tubular, the container body can store the stored items in a stacked state. Further, when the stored items stored in the container body are sequentially taken out from one end side of the container body, the position of the stored item to be taken out next is sequentially retracted to the other end side of the container body. Here, when the bottom member fitted inside the container body is moved to the other end side, the bottom member moves the stored item to the other end side, and the stored item to be taken out next is positioned again at the one end side of the container body. .. Then, when this process is repeated, finally there is only one stored item in the container body, and the stored item is located at the outlet.

On the other hand, if a stopper is provided at one end of the container body with which the stored item abuts, when the bottom member is moved, the stored item to be taken out next abuts against the stopper. By moving it, the bottom member moves as much as necessary, even if the amount of movement is bothered. Further, at this time, when the stopper forms the take-out port of the container body, it is possible to reliably stop the moved stored items by the outer peripheral portion of the take-out port. Furthermore, if the bottom member is attachable to and detachable from the container body, new stored items can be sequentially stored from the other end side of the container body.

On the other hand, when the bottom member is in a stopped state due to a frictional force with the inner peripheral surface of the container body, the stop position of the bottom member in the container body can be made stepless. Further, if the bottom member is formed of an elastic member and a plurality of convex portions are provided in the moving region of the bottom member, which is the inner peripheral surface of the container body, the friction force between the inner peripheral surface of the container body and the bottom member is increased. Therefore, even if the stored item stored in the container body has elasticity, the stored item can be stored in the container body in a compressed state. When the bottom member is made of sponge, the bottom member can be easily deformed when the bottom member is fitted in the container body.

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIG. 2, the storage container 1 according to the present invention has a substantially cylindrical container body 2, and a top plate 3 as a stopper is fitted in the opening on the upper end side of the container body 2. ing. The top plate 3 is a doughnut-shaped member having a circular outlet 4 opened in the center, and its outer peripheral edge is bonded to the inner peripheral surface 2 a of the container body 2. The top plate 3 is provided with an annular projection 5 at the opening edge of the outlet 4. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the inner peripheral surface 2a of the container body 2 is provided with a plurality of first protrusions 6 ... And the opening on the lower end side of the container body 2 is formed. An annular second convex portion 7 is formed on the inner circumference of the edge so as to project. Inside the container body 2, a plurality of vinyl bags 8 are stored in a stacked state in a storage area C where the first convex portions 6 are projected.

Each of the stored plastic bags 8 ... Is a well-known one obtained when shopping at a supermarket or the like, and each of the plastic bags 8 has a handle as shown in FIG. After the parts 8a and 8a are folded in three so as to be overlapped into a long shape (a in FIG. 4), they are alternately folded again until a substantially rectangular shape is formed (b in FIG. 4). In addition, in FIG. 4, the "mountain" and the "valley" when folding are shown by a dashed-dotted line and a broken line, respectively. Further, inside the container main body 2, a substantially cylindrical sponge 9 as a bottom member is contracted and accommodated in an opening portion on the lower end side thereof, and a plurality of vinyl bags 8 accommodated in a laminated state by the sponge 9 are contained. Is restricted from moving downwards.

In the storage container 1 having such a configuration, since the container body 2 has a cylindrical shape, it is possible to store the vinyl bags 8 ... In a stacked state as shown in FIG. It is possible to compactly store the plastic bag 8 ... Further, in the state of FIG. 1, the vinyl bags 8 housed in the container body 2 can be sequentially taken out one by one from the take-out port 4. On the other hand, when the uppermost vinyl bag 8 is sequentially taken out from the take-out port 4, the position of the vinyl bag 8 to be taken out next is sequentially retracted to the lower side of the container body 2, and then the next vinyl bag 8 is taken out. It gets harder. In this case, when the sponge 9 is pushed up and moved (arrow A in FIG. 3), the remaining laminated vinyl bags 8 are moved upward by the sponge 9. Therefore, the vinyl bag 8 to be taken out next is again positioned at the upper end side of the container body 2, that is, at the taking-out port 4. Therefore, when the number of the vinyl bags 8 ... In the container body 2 becomes small, the next vinyl bag 8 can always be moved to the outlet 4 by moving the sponge 9, and By repeating the work, it becomes possible to easily take out the last one vinyl bag 8.

In addition, when performing the above work, since the top plate 3 with the outlet 4 is present on the upper end side of the container body 2, the top of the remaining vinyl bag 8 ... It suffices to move the sponge 9 until it comes into contact with the plate 3, and it is not necessary to care about the movement amount of the sponge. Moreover, since the sponge 9 is contracted and housed in the container body 2 and the moved sponge 9 is stopped by the frictional force with the inner peripheral surface 2a, its stop position is stepless. Therefore, when performing the above work, it is not necessary to pay attention to the amount of movement of the sponge, and the sponge can always be stopped at a good position.

Further, since the sponge 9 is contracted and housed in the container body 2 and can be attached to and detached from the container body 2, the number of vinyl bags 8 stored in the container body 2 is reduced. When and when it runs out, new vinyl bags can be sequentially supplied from the lower end side of the container body 2. Further, since the sponge 9 is easily deformable due to its nature, the attachment / detachment work of the sponge 9 is extremely easy during such supplying work.

On the other hand, since the vinyl bag 8 ... Is folded as shown in FIG. 4, especially when a new vinyl bag is supplied as described above, the vinyls stored in the stacked state are stacked. The bag 8 has elasticity and tries to move the sponge 9 downward. However, on the inner peripheral surface 2a in the container body 2, the first convex portion 6 ... And the second convex portion 7 which are convex portions are provided in the moving region D (see FIG. 1) of the sponge 9. Therefore, the movement resistance of the sponge 9 is large. Therefore, the sponge 9 can be stopped in the container body 2 against the force of the vinyl bag 8 ..., As a result, a large amount of the vinyl bag is compressed and stored in the container body 2. It becomes possible.

In this embodiment, the storage area C of the vinyl bag 8 ... Is not set to the entire area of the container body 2 and the sponge 9 is stopped when the maximum amount of the vinyl bag is stored in the container body 2 (see FIG. 1). Although the position where the first convex portion 6 is not provided on the inner peripheral surface 2a on the lower end side of the container main body 2 is shown, the first convex portion 6 is also formed on the inner peripheral surface 2a on the lower end side. The part 6 may be provided. Further, the first convex portions 6 ... May be annular like the second convex portions 7, and the shape of the second convex portions 7 does not have to be annular. Further, the size and shape of the convex portion provided in the moving region D of the sponge 9 are not limited at all, and the first convex portion 6 ... And the second convex portion 7 in this embodiment are not limited. Instead of this, for example, a plurality of concave portions may be provided on the surface of the inner peripheral surface 2a of the container body 2, or the above-mentioned convex portion may be formed by attaching a known sand pepper to the inner peripheral surface 2a. Good.

Further, the container body 2 described above does not have to be cylindrical, and may be prismatic, for example, like the storage container 11 shown in FIG. The description of the storage container 11 will be omitted by giving the same reference numerals to the parts corresponding to those of the storage container 1 shown in FIGS.

[Effect of the device]

 INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY As described above, according to the present invention, a cylindrical container main body for accommodating a storage item and a bottom portion movably fitted in the container main body for restricting movement of the stored storage item in one direction. Since it is composed of the material, the stored items can be stored in a stacked state in the cylindrical container body, and a large number of stored items can be stored more compactly. In addition, by moving the bottom member in the other direction according to the remaining amount of the stored item in the container body, the stored item to be taken out next can always be positioned at one end side of the container body. Therefore, it is possible to always easily take out only one of the many stored items from the one end side of the container body. Moreover, by repeating the movement of the bottom member, it is possible to easily take out the stored items up to the last one.

Further, since the bottom member is brought into a stopped state by the frictional force with the inner peripheral surface of the container body, the stop position of the bottom member in the container body becomes stepless. Therefore, when the bottom member is moved by an amount corresponding to the remaining amount of the stored items, the bottom member can always be stopped at a good position regardless of the remaining amount.

In addition, since a stopper is provided on one end side of the container body, with which the stored items abut, the bottom member is moved until the stored item to be taken out next abuts the stopper when the bottom member moves. This makes it possible to always position the stored item to be taken out next to the one end side of the container body without worrying about the stop position of the bottom member. In addition, since the outlet for the stored items is formed by the stopper, the moved stored items can be taken out and reliably stopped by the outer periphery of the port, and the stored items can be removed when the bottom member is moved. It is possible to prevent the container body from falling off from one end side. Further, since the bottom member is detachably attached to the container body, a new storage item can be stored at any time from the other end side of the container body.

On the other hand, since the bottom member is formed of an elastic member and a plurality of convex portions are provided in the inner peripheral surface of the container body in the moving region of the bottom member, the inner peripheral surface of the container body and the bottom member are provided. The frictional force between and increases. Therefore, even if the contents stored in the container body are elastic, it is possible to keep the contents in a compressed state. It becomes possible to store the stored items. Moreover, since the bottom member is made of sponge, when the bottom member is fitted in the container body, the deformation is easy. Therefore, the work of attaching and detaching the bottom member when accommodating a new receipt in the container body described above can be performed extremely easily.
