Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a container for storing filth and the like, and more specifically, a container main body that opens upward is provided with a tubular cover that is relatively rotatable relative to the container main body from above and is detachably fitted to the container main body. A first locking passage that is engageable with and disengageable from a vertical direction with respect to the locking projection provided on the container body, and the locking projection is engaged in the first locking path. Second locking that prevents relative vertical disengagement of the container body and the tubular cover in the vertical direction by the relative rotation between the container body and the tubular cover in the closed state by contact with the locking projection. The present invention relates to a storage container that communicates with a passage.

[0002] In this type of storage container, the outer peripheral portion of the opening of the storage bag inserted in the container main body can be inserted between the outer surface of the container main body and the inner surface of the cylindrical cover only by fitting the cylindrical cover onto the main body of the container. Not only can it be sandwiched and held by the container, but also the peripheral edge of the opening of the storage bag that is folded back along the outer surface of the container body can be covered with a tubular cover, improving the appearance design of the storage container. There is an advantage that can be. In the storage container having such an advantage, conventionally, the first locking passage and the second locking passage formed in the tubular cover are communicated in an inverted L shape.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 In this conventional storage container, even when the tubular cover is externally fitted to the container body, the locking protrusions engaged in the second locking passage are not provided along the second locking passage. And is in a state of being freely rotatable to the side of the first locking passage. Therefore, the cylindrical cover and the container body rotate relative to each other due to the vibration applied when the stored object is loaded, and the locking projections in the second locking passage gradually move to the first locking passage side. There is. When the locking projection in the second locking passage is moved into the first locking passage, even if the tubular cover is lifted, the container body is left as it is, so the container body must be picked up again. There are things that must be done. Further, when the locking projection is hooked on the end of the second locking passage on the side of the first locking passage, the container body is also temporarily lifted when the tubular cover is lifted. The container body may fall off the tubular cover on the way, and the dirt and the like contained in the container body may be scattered around. In particular, in the case of a storage container in which a lid for opening and closing the inlet formed in the relevant portion is provided on the upper part of the tubular cover, the rear surface of the container in which the opening / closing fulcrum of the lid is provided due to the design of the container. Since the locking projection and both locking passages are disposed on the side, the locked state of the locking projection cannot be confirmed from the front side of the container, and the above-mentioned inconvenience is more likely to occur. In addition, as a method for preventing the container body from falling off when the container is lifted, a tubular cover is externally fitted to the container body at a predetermined position between the container body and the tubular cover. Occasionally, it is conceivable to provide a fitting and fixing means that elastically fits and prevents relative separation and movement of both of them in the vertical direction, but in this case, except for the operation of attaching and detaching the tubular cover to the container body. In addition, since a fitting releasing operation for the fitting fixing means is newly added, there is a problem that the work of replacing the storage bag becomes complicated. The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and the purpose thereof is to facilitate the replacement of the storage bag and improve the external appearance as in the conventional case, while removing the storage container. The point is to provide a useful storage container that can be carried without falling.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above object, in the storage container according to the present invention, in the container described above, the locking protrusions engaged with the cover mounting position in the second locking passage are located on the first locking passage side. The present invention is characterized by being provided with a rotation restricting means for imparting a resistance force to the rotation to, and the action and effect thereof are as follows.

[0005]

[Action]

 By simply fitting the tubular cover onto the container body, it is possible not only to hold the opening peripheral part of the storage bag inserted into the container body, but also to open the storage bag that is folded back along the outer surface of the container body. The peripheral portion can be covered with a tubular cover. In addition, even if vibration is applied to the cylindrical cover and the container body due to the insertion of an object to be stored or the like during use, the locking protrusions engaged in the second locking passage are Since the rotation restricting means imparts a resistance force to the rotation toward the first locking passage side, it is possible to prevent the locking projection from moving toward the first locking passage side.

[0006]

[Effect of device]

 Therefore, in the same way as in the past, using the cylindrical cover that is fitted onto the container body, while facilitating the work of replacing the storage bag and improving the external appearance of the storage container, the storage container does not fall out. You can now carry it with you.

Further, as described in claim 2 of the present invention, the rotation restricting means allows the engaging protrusion upward engaged in the second engaging passage to be engaged. In addition, when the locking passage portion corresponding to the cover mounting position of the second locking passage is formed by bending upward, when removing the tubular cover from the container body, the tubular cover is temporarily removed. Without lifting, the locking protrusion cannot be moved along the second locking passage toward the first locking passage. Therefore, the above effect can be achieved by a simple modification in which a part of the second locking passage is formed by bending.

Further, as described in claim 3 of the present invention, the rotation restricting means is integrally formed with the cylindrical cover in a state of protruding into the second locking passage, and the locking protrusion. When the tubular cover is detached from the container body, the locking projections are used when the tubular cover is detached from the container body. Unless the protrusion is elastically deformed, the locking protrusion cannot be moved to the first locking passage side along the second locking passage. Therefore, the above effect can be achieved by a simple modification in which the protrusion is integrally formed on the cylindrical cover.
