【Example】

 Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings illustrating an embodiment.

1 and 2 show an embodiment of a food storage container according to the present invention. The food storage container 1 includes a container body 2 having a rectangular shape in plan view and an upward opening, and the container body 2 And a lid 3 having a rectangular shape in plan view. The lid 3 is swingable about the horizontal axis L along the upper portions of the left and right opposite wall portions 4 and 4 of the container body 2 and the lid 3 is opened and closed. It is possible to leave from 2.

The material of the container body 2 and the lid 3 of the food storage container 1 is elastically deformable, and is preferably made of resin.

As shown in FIG. 3, FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, the container body 2 has an outer collar portion 5 which projects from the upper part of the peripheral wall thereof to the outside of the horizontal surface and whose tip is bent downward. ing. Then, the container body 2 is provided with horizontal recesses 6 and 6 having a semicircular cross section along the opposing left and right wall portions 4 and 4.

That is, the recessed portions 6 and 6 having a semicircular cross section are formed in the front and rear intermediate portions of the left and right pieces 8 and 8 along the left and right wall portions 4 and 4 of the outer flange portion 5. It A notch 7 having a predetermined front-rear width dimension is formed at the front-rear intermediate position of the cross-section semicircular concave portion 6 of each piece 8.

Further, each of the recessed portions 6 and 6 having a semicircular cross-section is formed so as to be separated from the outer surfaces of the left and right wall portions 4 and 4 of the container body 2 by a predetermined dimension, and the outer portion between them. Short grooves 9 and 9 are formed in the portions 8 and 8 of the collar 5. The short grooves 9 and 9 are open upward and inward of the recesses 6 and 6 having a semicircular cross section.

Further, the upper and lower edges of the recesses 6 and 6 of the respective semi-circular cross-sections, which are outside the front and rear ends of the short grooves 9 and 9, are slightly narrowed in the left and right direction and upward. Open to. That is, the cross section of the semi-circular concave recesses 6, 6 is slightly larger than the exact semi-circle, and the horizontal axis L is the upper opening of the semi-circular concave recesses 6, 6 in cross section. It is located slightly below the department.

Next, as shown in FIG. 6, FIG. 7 and FIG. 8, the lid body 3 has a semicircular cross-section of the container body 2 along the opposing left and right wall portions 10, 10. Horizontally cross-sectionally circular pivots 11, 11 that can be fitted in and disengaged from the concave portions 6, 6 are provided.

That is, the horizontal piece portions 12 and 12 project outward from the lower end portions of the front and rear intermediate portions of the left and right wall portions 10 and 10 of the lid body 3, and the lids are provided at the tips of the horizontal piece portions 12 and 12. Along the walls 10, 10 of the body 3, horizontal pivots 11, 11 of horizontal cross section are formed. Further, a locking piece 13 protruding in the horizontal direction is formed on the outer end edge of the center of the front and rear of each of the circular shaft portions 11 and 11 having a circular cross section, and the lower end of the center of the front and rear of the shaft portions 11 and 11 is formed. On the side, a concave portion 14 which is cut out in a concave shape is formed.

Further, the outer diameter dimension of the cross section of the circular cross-section circular pivot portions 11, 11 is substantially the same as or the inner diameter dimension of the cross section of the semi-circular concave recesses 6, 6 of the container body 2. It is slightly smaller than

Then, as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, in the state where the cross-section circular-shaped pivot portion 11 of the lid body 3 is fitted into the cross-section semicircular concave portion 6 of the container body 2, The lid body 3 can be swingably opened and closed around the horizontal axis L of the concave portion 6 having a semicircular cross section of the container body 2.

That is, when the circular cross-section pivot portion 11 is brought into horizontal contact with the slightly narrowed upper openings of the front and rear end portions of the semi-circular recess 6 having the cross-section, and is pressed downward, The upper opening of the recessed portion 6 widens in the left-right direction by elastic deformation, and the pivot 11 is fitted into the recessed portion 6. After the fitting, the upper opening of the concave portion 6 is restored and narrowed, so that the pivot 11 does not come off unexpectedly.

In this way, the lid body 3 can be swingably opened and closed as shown by a solid line and an imaginary line.

Further, when a part of the lid body 3 is gripped by a hand and the cross-section circular-shaped pivot portion 11 is pulled toward the upward opening direction of the cross-section semicircular concave recessed portion 6, the pivot portion 11 is depressed. It separates from the recess 6.

Further, as shown in FIG. 10, when the lid body 3, which is swingably opened and closed about the horizontal axis L, is opened as shown by an imaginary line, an outer engagement of the cross-section circular-shaped pivot portion 11 is obtained. The stopper 13 moves in the notch 7 and contacts the inner edge 15. By this abutment, the standing state of the lid body 3 is maintained and the angle of opening the lid is regulated.

The food storage container of this embodiment has concave and convex portions 6 and 6 having a semicircular cross section on the left and right side wall portions 4 and 4 of the container body 2 and the left and right sides of the lid body 3. Since the cross-section circular-shaped pivot portions 11 and 11 are provided on both wall portions 10 and 10, the cross-section circular-shaped pivot portions 11 and 11 on the left and right sides of the lid body 3 are provided as shown in FIG. A lid-covered state is obtained by fitting into the recessed portions 6, 6 having a semicircular cross section on the left and right sides of the container body 2.

Further, when either one of the left and right pivotal shaft portions 11 having a circular cross section is detached from the concave portion 6 having a semicircular cross section, the lid body 3 can swing and open and close as shown by an imaginary line. In other words, the lid body 3 can use either the left or right horizontal axis L as the swing opening / closing axis.

Further, by removing the left and right circular cross-section pivot portions 11, 11 of the lid body 3 from the semi-circular recessed concave portions 6, 6 of the container body 2, the lid body 3 is removed from the container body 2. Can be released.

In the above embodiment, the container body 2 is provided with concave and convex portions 6 and 6 having a semicircular cross section on both left and right sides, and the pivot portions 11 and 11 having a circular cross section are provided on both left and right sides of the lid body 3. However, the concave section 6 having a semicircular cross section is provided on either the left or right side of the container body 2, and the circular axis section 11 having the circular cross section is provided on either the left or right side of the lid body 3. It is also desirable to provide one side and another locking mechanism on the other side.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the notches 7 and 7 are formed in the vicinity of the front and rear intermediate portions of the recessed portions 6 and 6 having a semicircular cross section, but the notches 7 and 7 are not formed. Is also good. In that case, the locking pieces 13, 13 on the outer side of the cross-section circular-shaped pivot portions 11, 11 of the lid 3 are also omitted.

The present invention can be freely modified in design within the scope of the invention other than the above. For example, the lid 3 and the container body 2 can be circular or elliptical or square or other polygonal shape in plan view. Etc. are also preferable.

It is also free to form a plurality of storage recesses in one container body 2 and attach the lids 3 ... Of the above structure to each.

[0029]

[Effect of the device]

 Since the present invention is configured as described above, it has the following effects.

The lid 3 can be easily attached / detached to / from the container body 2, and the lid 3 can be swingably opened / closed in the attached state.

Further, it becomes easy to design the lid 3 and the container body 2 so that they can be integrally molded by injection molding or the like.
