Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce a container by stretching it into a specified container shape at the time of use thereby providing an extremely advantageous container for transportation, storage and display. SOLUTION: A stretching-type container includes a lower member 10 having a bottom 11 and a slope-like lower circumferential face 12 with its upper part having a large diameter, an intermediate member 20 having an intermediate circumferential face 22 integrally connected with the upper rim of the lower circumferential face via a first hinge 21 on an outer lower part providing a slope with a lower part having a large diameter, and an upper member 30 having an upper circumferential face 32 integrally connected with the lower rim of the intermediate circumferential face via a second hinge 32 on an outer upper part providing a slope with an upper part having a large diameter. By inverting the intermediate member upward via the first hinge 21 and the second hinge 22 to have it stretched, a specified container shape 9 is formed.

FIG. 5 is a schematic view (cross section) showing the expanded state of the expansion container of the present invention. The position shown by the broken line in the drawing is the condition of the container 9 before expansion, and the position shown by the chain line is expanded. It is the latter container 9A. The position indicated by the solid line is the container 9R with the intermediate member 20 in the inverted state. As is well understood from this schematic diagram, the intermediate member 20 is connected to the first hinge portion 21 and the second hinge portion 21.
In order to invert it via the hinge portion 31, the intermediate member 2
When 0 is pulled up (or pushed down), the first hinge part 21R is once moved in the inner (contracting) direction I of the container by the intermediate circumferential surface part 22 as the second hinge part 31R moves upward. . Then, when it exceeds the critical position indicated by the container 9R indicated by the solid line in the figure, the intermediate circumferential surface portion 22 is inverted, and the first hinge portion 21 moves as the second hinge portion 31R moves upward.
R again moves in the outer (restoring) direction O of the container and moves to the positions 21A and 31A of the extension container 9A indicated by the chain line.

As described above, when the intermediate member 20 is inverted, the first hinge portion 21 and the second hinge portion 31 are moved inward and outward from the container, and accordingly, the lower circumferential surface portion 12 is moved.
And, the intermediate circumferential surface portion 22 expands and contracts in the inward / outward direction of the container, that is, in the radial direction. Such a lower circumferential surface portion 12
Further, the expansion and contraction operation of the intermediate circumferential surface portion 22 in the radial direction can be absorbed by the flexibility of the sheet-like material forming the container.

However, depending on the thickness or physical properties of the sheet material, the shape of the container, or the like, it is not easy for the lower circumferential surface portion 12 and the intermediate circumferential surface portion 22 to expand or contract in the radial direction, or cracks or breakage may occur. May be accompanied. In such a case, as described in claim 2, the lower circumferential surface portion 12 and the intermediate circumferential surface portion 22.
It is preferable to form the radial expansion / contraction groove portions 13 and 23 in the vertical direction. As can be seen from the cross-sectional view of FIG. 4, the stretchable groove portions 13 and 23 may be formed only on the inner surface side of the container. Although not shown, it is also possible to provide a groove portion in the circumferential direction.
