Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to a container suitable for use as a pencil case, etc., in which the lid is slidably opened and closed relative to the container body.

[Prior Art] For example, in conventional pencil cases, the container body and the lid are connected by a hinge mechanism, and the container body and the lid are separated and the lid is simply placed over the container body. However, since the former has a hinge mechanism, it is difficult to assemble and is expensive, and the latter has drawbacks such as the lid being easy to come off.

Conventionally, containers are known in which the lid slides against the container body to open and close, but if the product is made of synthetic resin, it is relatively easy to mold a guide mechanism for sliding the lid. However, if it is made of metal plate, the processing of the slide guide mechanism is troublesome and costs high, play is likely to occur between the container body and the lid, and the sliding movement cannot be performed smoothly. There are problems such as the unevenness of the slide guide mechanism spoiling the appearance.

[Purpose of the invention] The purpose of the invention is to easily form a slide guide mechanism in a container that opens and closes by sliding a lid made of a metal plate to a container body made of a metal plate, and to easily form a slide guide mechanism that allows the container body and lid to be opened and closed. The purpose is to provide a container that slides smoothly without rattling with the body, and has a simple and sophisticated design.

[Summary of the invention] The gist of the invention to achieve the above objectives is as follows:
In the longitudinal direction of the container body made of a metal plate, guide protrusions are formed on both sides of the container body made of a metal plate in the longitudinal direction, and bulge outward by curled portions provided at the edges. In a container in which a lid made of a metal plate is slid along a protruding strip, the lid has an inner curl portion bent into a circular shape at the edge of the longitudinal side wall thereof, and the inner curl portion and A predetermined interval is provided between the lid and the inner surface of the ceiling, and a guide protrusion of the container body is slidably fitted within the interval,
The container is characterized in that a rear side wall having an internal curl part continuous with an internal curl part of the longitudinal side wall of the lid body serves as a stopper in the closing direction of the lid body.

[Embodiment of the invention] The present invention will be described in detail based on an embodiment of the illustrated pencil case.

FIG. 1 shows an example of a brush holder, 1
2 indicates the container body, and 2 indicates the lid. The container body 1 and the lid body 2 are both made of the same metal body,
The edge of the side wall of the container body 1 is provided with a curled portion 3 whose edges are curved outward or inward to prevent danger. A guide protrusion 6 is formed that slightly protrudes in the lateral direction. However, the curled portion 3 may be curled outward as shown in FIG. 2, or may be curled inward and bulged outward as shown in FIG.

On the other hand, the edge of the side wall of the lid body 2 is provided with an inner curl portion 7 whose edge is curled inward to prevent danger. The curl portion 3 and the inner curl portion 7 provided on the container body 1 and the lid 2, respectively, are utilized to provide an inexpensive sliding guide mechanism for the lid 2 with respect to the container body 1. That is, as illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 3, the curled portion 3 of the container body 1 is fitted between the ceiling inner surface 8 and the inner curled portion 7 of the lid 2, and the container body 1 and the lid are separated. It is designed to be able to slide relative to 2.

In addition, in order to fit into the curled part 3, the lid body 2 is provided with a cutout part 9 in the shape of cutting out the front side wall. It is. In addition,
As a locking means for keeping the lid 2 in a completely closed state, it is sufficient to provide recesses and recesses that engage with each other at appropriate locations on the side wall of the container body 1 and the side wall or ceiling surface of the lid 2. Furthermore, as a stopper for the closing direction of the lid body 2, the rear side wall 10 provided with the internal curl portion 7 of the lid body 2 can be used as it is, so there is no need to provide a special stopper.

[Effects of the invention] As explained above, the container according to the invention skillfully utilizes the curled portion of the side wall edge formed to prevent danger as a slide guide mechanism.
There is no need to provide a special slide guide mechanism, so costs can be reduced, and since the guide protrusion on the container body is covered by the internal curl of the lid, the design is sophisticated. Moreover, since the guide protrusion on the container body is sandwiched between the inner curl of the lid and the inner surface of the ceiling, it is possible to eliminate looseness between the container body and the lid, and the mechanical strength is also good. . Furthermore, since the sliding portions are in linear contact with each other due to the contact between the curled portions, the lid body can be slid smoothly with a good feel. Furthermore, the stopper at the rear end of the lid is strong because it utilizes the rear side wall where the inner curled portion of the lid continues.

[Brief explanation of drawings]

The drawings show an embodiment of the container according to the present invention; FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the whole, FIG. 2 is a sectional view thereof, and FIG. 3 is a sectional view of another embodiment. 1 is the container body, 2 is the lid, 3 is the curl part,
4 and 5 are side walls, 6 is a guide protrusion, 7 is an inner curl, 8 is an inner surface of the ceiling, 9 is a notch, and 10 is a rear side wall of the lid.

Claims (1)

[Scope of utility model registration request] Guide protrusions are formed on both longitudinal walls of the container body made of a metal plate and bulge outward by curled parts provided at the edges, and a lid made of a metal plate is formed along the guide protrusions.
