Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a bottle-shaped container for containing foods, etc.
The present invention relates to a bottle-shaped container that can be easily taken out.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In general, most food containers have a cross-sectional shape as shown in FIG. 6, that is, a bottom plate (102) is connected to the lower end of a cylindrical body (101) to close it,
A mouth portion (104) is projectingly provided on the upper end via a shoulder portion (103), and a male screw (105) is formed on the outer peripheral surface thereof.

The cap (106) is provided with an internal thread (108) which engages with the external thread (105) of the main body on the inner surface of the outer peripheral edge (107) of the annular shape, which is the mouth (104).
It is screwed onto and seals the container.

[0004]

A container such as that shown in FIG.
It is generally widely used, but there is a problem that it becomes difficult to take out when the remaining amount of the content is low.

In particular, when the contents are highly viscous such as jam or paste, the jams or the like attached to the corners of the bottom shown by the diagonal line A in FIG. 6 are extremely difficult to take out, and the contents are used up to the end. Things have become very difficult.

An object of the present invention is to provide a bottle-shaped container capable of ameliorating this inconvenience.

[0007]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION To achieve the above object, the present invention has a cylindrical container body having male and female mouths for screwing caps at both ends, which are vertically symmetrical. A bottle-shaped container characterized in that a cap having an end face formed in a flat shape is screwed on.

It is desirable that the bottle-shaped container be formed into a curved surface in which the area of the inner surface of the main body adjacent to the mouth is reduced toward the diameter of the mouth.

It is desirable that the mouth portion is formed in an annular shape with a screw provided on the outer surface, and an inner wall material having an annular shape is provided concentrically with the outer edge material inside the outer edge material provided with the female thread of the cap. .

[0010]

The mouth is formed symmetrically at the upper and lower ends of the cylindrical container, and the caps having the flat end faces are screwed into the cylindrical container so that either one of the caps serves as the bottom plate and the ordinary bottle-shaped container. It can be used similarly, and by removing the cap on the bottom plate side, the contents adhered near the bottom can be easily taken out.

By forming a region of the inner surface of the container body near the mouth portion into a curved surface whose diameter decreases toward the diameter of the mouth portion,
The contents attached to the area can be easily taken out.

[0012]

1 is a sectional view showing a basic embodiment of the container of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing its appearance.

In this embodiment, at the upper and lower ends of the cylindrical body (1), mouths (2a) and (2) according to a conventional bottle-shaped container are provided.
b) are formed symmetrically in the vertical direction, and external threads (3) are provided on their outer peripheral surfaces.

Caps (4a) and (4b) are screwed onto the pair of upper and lower mouths, respectively. These caps are the same as the caps of the conventional container shown in FIG. 6, except that the end faces are formed flat and each cap is screwed to the top of a table or the like. It is designed to be held in a stable vertical position when placed on the.

Inside each cap (4a) (4b),
Packing (6a) (6b) is attached. This is the lower mouth (2b) when the contents of the container are liquid.
This is for the purpose of preventing liquid from leaking between the cap and the cap (4b), and the packing may be omitted when the content is a granular material or powder that does not leak.

In the container of this embodiment, the mouth portions (2a) and (2b) are formed at the upper and lower ends of the main body (1) as described above, and the caps (4a) and (4b) are screwed to the respective portions. Therefore, even if the amount of contents is small, by removing the cap on the lower side when placed vertically,
The contents can be easily taken out.

Moreover, since the shape of the container itself is vertically symmetrical and the caps each having a flat end face are screwed on, either side is lowered when the container is placed on a table or a cupboard. However, there is no problem, and it has the convenience of eliminating complexity when used in a busy kitchen.

When characters or symbols indicating the contents are displayed on the label (7) attached to the outer surface of the container, as shown in FIG. 2, two sets of the same characters are displayed upside down symmetrically. If the container is placed in either direction, the upright letters can be read or read.

FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of an essential part showing another embodiment of the present invention. 2 shows the lower half of the container,
The upper half is formed symmetrically with this.

The container of this embodiment has a cylindrical body (1
0) is provided with screws (11) on the outer peripheral surfaces of both ends thereof and screwed with caps (12), and both ends of the inner surface connected to the upper and lower openings of the main body (10) It is formed on a spherical curved surface (13).

Similar to the case of FIG. 1, a packing (1) is provided between the inner surface of the cap (12) and the end surface of the main body (10).
4) is attached to prevent liquid leakage when containing liquid.

In the case of the embodiment of FIG. 1, since the container of the embodiment of FIG. 3 has the shape of the inner surface adjacent to the opening of the end surface of the main body (10) which is a curved surface decreasing in diameter toward the opening diameter. In particular, when the content is a highly viscous jam or the like, it can be taken out more easily.

In the embodiment of FIG. 3, the cap (1
Since 2) has a larger diameter than the main body (10), it has good stability when placed in an upright position.

FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of an essential part showing still another embodiment of the present invention, showing the lower half part of the container as in FIG.

In this embodiment, the inner surface of the cylindrical main body (20) is formed into a curved surface whose diameter is reduced toward the end face opening as in FIG. 3, and the diameter is smaller than the outer diameter of the main body (20). An annular mouth portion (22) formed by an outer peripheral surface and an inner peripheral surface having the same diameter as the opening or a slightly larger diameter is attached to the main body (2
The end surface of (0) is projected in the axial direction, and a screw (24) is provided on the outer peripheral surface thereof.

On the other hand, the cap (23) has a main body (20).
An inner wall material (26) having a diameter smaller than that of the mouth portion (22) of the main body (20) is formed inside the outer edge member (25) having an annular shape having substantially the same diameter as that of the outer edge member (25) provided with an internal thread on the inner peripheral surface thereof. It is erected concentrically with the outer edge member (25).

It is desirable that the inner diameter of the inner wall member (26) is set to be approximately the same as or slightly larger than the diameter of the end face opening of the main body (20).

The container of this embodiment is similar to that of FIG.
A viscous jam or the like can be easily taken out, and the diameter of the cap (25) is almost the same as that of the main body (20). It occupies a small area.

Further, when the remaining amount of the contents becomes small and the upper surface (the liquid surface in the case of liquid) is below the opening surface at the lower end of the main body (20), the contents are shown in FIG. It is housed inside the inner wall material (26) of the cap (23) as shown.

That is, when the inside of the lower cap (23) is accommodated when the inside of the upper cap is removed, the inside of the lower cap (23) is removed. It can be confirmed that the state becomes 5.

In the case of FIG. 3, since the remaining amount of the contents cannot be easily confirmed, the carelessness of the contents is left in spite of the amount of the contents that cannot be accommodated in the cap (12) remaining in the container. Although the lower cap (12) may be removed to cause inconvenience such as spilling of the contents, in the case of FIG. 4, such an error can be prevented.

[0032]

The present invention has the following effects. (A) Even when the remaining amount of the content in the bottle-shaped container for containing food etc. becomes small, it can be easily taken out.
You can use jams with high viscosity to the end.

(B) Since the mouth portion on which the cap is screwed is formed vertically symmetrical and the single surface of the cap is a flat surface, the cap can be placed in either an upright position or an inverted position, and it is busy. The complication in the kitchen can be eliminated.
