[0015]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. The container 1 of the present invention includes a container body 2 and a cap body 3
A cover plate 4 formed integrally with the main body 3 and a movable cylinder 5.

The container body 2 has a bottomed cylindrical shape with an open upper end surface, and is made of synthetic resin, paper, or a laminated body of synthetic resin and paper.

The cap body 3 is made of a synthetic resin, and the lower end of the peripheral wall 7 is hermetically fitted to the upper end of the peripheral wall 6 of the container body 2 and the top wall extending from the upper end edge of the peripheral wall 7 is attached. The upper end opening of the container body 2 is closed by 8, and a blowout hole 9 is formed in the front portion of the top wall 8.

The blow-out hole 9 may be provided in plural as shown in FIG. 4, or may be one large hole. Also, the shape can be variously selected.

In this embodiment, the cap body peripheral wall 7 is formed in a double cylinder shape of the outer peripheral wall 7a and the inner peripheral wall 7b, and the upper end of the container body peripheral wall 6 is tightly fitted between the inner and outer peripheral walls, whereby the cap main body 3 is formed. Is hermetically fitted in the container body 2.

The base plate of the lid plate 4 is rotatably connected through a thin hinge 10 that traverses the upper surface of the top wall 8 of the cap body, and the swing-out hole 9 is openably and closably closed to close the cap body. It is configured so that it can be locked to 3.

In the present embodiment, the front wall of the cap main body 8 has a recessed width of about the thickness of the cover plate 4, and the top surface of the top wall 8 and the front peripheral portion of the upper peripheral wall 7 are recessed downward and inward, respectively. In addition to forming a recess 11, the top wall 8 of the recess 11 is provided with a blowout hole 9, while the rear end of the recess 11 of the top wall 8 is provided with a thin hinge 10. The lid plate 4 is configured by vertically hanging a hanging wall 4b from the peripheral edge of the semi-circular top plate portion 4a connected via the lid plate 4. Then, the hanging wall 4b of the lid plate 4 is formed in the recess 11 at the front of the cap body peripheral wall 7. While fitting and locking to
The top plate portion 4a is constructed so as to hermetically close the above-mentioned drawing hole 9. Further, a finger-hanging projection 12 is provided so as to project from the front surface of the hanging wall 4b of the cover plate 4.

The movable cylinder 5 has a cylindrical shape having upper and lower end surface openings loosely fitted to the peripheral wall 7 of the container so as to be vertically movable above the items contained in the container 2, and has a crosspiece 13 on the inner peripheral surface thereof. In addition to hanging over, the projections 14 for crushing the agglomerated contents with sharp tips are hung vertically on the lower surface of the crosspiece 13, and the whole is made of synthetic resin.

The crosspiece 13 supports the projection 14 for crushing the agglomerated contents, and also assists the crushing of the agglomerated contents, and is hung on the inner surface of the movable cylinder 5.

Various shapes of the crosspiece 13 can be adopted,
For example, as in this embodiment, four branch bars are radiated from the center.
Examples thereof include those having 13a laid over them, or those having a large number of branch bars 13a laid radially from the center as shown in FIG. 7, but the present invention is not limited to these and other shapes may be used. The point is that the projection 14 for crushing agglomerated stored items can be hung vertically on the lower surface, and a window hole is formed in the periphery through which the stored items can be inserted.

Further, according to the present invention, the crosspiece 13 at the highest position of the movable cylinder 5 is located apart from the top wall 8 of the cap body.

In this embodiment, the upper surface of the movable cylinder 5 is locked to the lower surface of the inner peripheral wall 7b of the cap body 3 when the movable cylinder 5 is at its highest position,
The crosspiece 13 is configured so that it does not move further upward, so that the crosspiece 13 is always provided at a position separated from the top wall 8 of the cap body.

The position of the crosspiece 13 at the maximum rise is not limited to that of this embodiment, but can be set by hanging the crosspiece 13 under the movable cylinder 5 as in the embodiment shown in FIG. In this case, the cap body top wall 8 and the crosspiece 13 are always separated from each other even if the movable barrel 5 is configured to be able to move to the upper end of the container body 2.

The protrusion 14 for crushing the agglomerated contents crushes the agglomerates when a part of the contents such as powder is hygroscopic and absorbs moisture in the air to form a mass. It is provided for this purpose, and has a sharp lower end.
For example, saw-toothed protrusions 14A as shown in this embodiment, a pair of triangular plate-shaped protrusions 14B as shown in FIG. 6 and triangular plate-shaped protrusions 14C as shown in FIG. Alternatively, any other shape having a sharp lower end can be adopted, and the number thereof is not limited to the above-described plural number, and may be one.

In the container 1 thus constructed, for example, the container body 2 is filled with contents and then the movable cylinder 5 is fitted, and then the cap body 3 is fitted and fixed to fill the contents.

[0030]

As described above, in the container of the present invention, since the movable cylinder provided with the crosspiece and the projection for crushing the agglomerated contents is provided in the container body so as to be movable up and down, the problems such as hardening of the contents occur. Even if it does, the lumps are crushed by the crosspieces and the projections, and as a result, it is possible to smoothly throw out the stored items without causing inconveniences such as clogging of the blow-out hole, and the rolls are directly blown out from the blow-out hole. It is possible to eliminate the inconvenience.

Further, since the movable barrel is loosely fitted above the contents in the container so as to be vertically movable, the container is shaken along the longitudinal direction to shake out the contents, so that the container is relatively moved up and down. If there is a solid part in the stored items, the lumps can be crushed automatically, and the projections for crushing the lumped stored items collide with the moving lumps, resulting in higher efficiency. It is possible to crush a good lump, and as a result, it is possible to more smoothly throw out the contents.

Further, the structure is simple, and since it can be formed by changing the structure of a part of the conventional container of this kind, it has an advantage that it can be manufactured at low cost.

Further, in the case where the position of the crosspiece at the highest position of the movable barrel is separated from the top wall of the cap body,
Since there is a gap until the stored items crushed by the projection reach the swing-out hole, and the powder-shaped stored items are once passed through the crosspiece and then swung out from the swing-out hole, the projection does not move to the swing-out hole of the stored item. There is no hindrance, and the stored items are easily gathered in the swing-out hole portion, and as a result, the stored items can be swung out more smoothly.

Further, the crosspiece is a radial crosspiece in which a plurality of branch crosspieces are radially extended from the central portion, and the projections are a plurality of saw blade-like projections that are vertically provided integrally on the lower surface of each branch crosspiece. In this case, by appropriately selecting the number of branch bars, it is possible to satisfactorily grind a fairly fine lump, which is particularly convenient when storing a storage item that is likely to form a fine lump.
