Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to a container for storing viscous products such as margarine, butter, and jam. The present invention relates to a retractable container, which has a cutout window that can be opened and closed, and a retractable lid that can cover the entire cutout window is attached to the rear end of the cutout window so that the lid can be opened and closed via a hinge.

Various structures of plastic containers for storing margarine, butter, jam, etc. have been developed and put into practical use, but generally they are stored in a refrigerator with a knife, spoon, etc. inserted and the lid closed. There was a drawback that the lid did not close smoothly when stored in storage.

Recently, a cut window for inserting a knife, etc. into a part of the lid has been formed by a cut line, or a part of the edge of the container has been removed and the height of the raised surface of the lid has been changed on the left and right sides. By changing the direction of the lid when using a container, it was possible to insert a knife, spoon, etc. into the container while the lid was closed, but even with this structure, there is a gap between the lid or container. It has drawbacks such as being unsanitary, inconvenient to handle, and having poor reusability.

The container according to the present invention relates to a completely new technology developed in view of the drawbacks of the conventional art.

To specifically explain one embodiment of the present invention with reference to the drawings, the first embodiment is as follows.
In the figures to FIG. 6, A is a tray type container main body,
It has an upper edge 1 at its upper end.

Next, B is a lid body, and the periphery of the lid body includes the container body A.
A fitting groove 2 having an inverted U-shaped cross section into which the upper edge 1 can fit is provided on the lid B.
It is formed to protrude upward from the upper surface 3 of.

In addition, a rectangular raised portion 4 having the same height as the fitting groove 2 is provided at the central portion of the one end side of the lid plate true, and a rectangular notched window 5 is provided inside the raised portion 4 that stands up on the end side of the lid body B. It has been removed all the way to the wall.

Further, on the peripheral edge a of the cutout window 5, a rim plate is provided one step below the peripheral edge a and protrudes inward.

Next, reference numeral 6 denotes an opening/closing lid having a size that can be inserted into the cutout window 5, and is attached via a hinge 7 to the inner edge of the cutout window 5 so as to be openable and closable.

Therefore, when the opening/closing lid 6 is inserted into the notched window 5, the opening/closing lid 6 is supported by the edge plate protruding from the peripheral edge a of the notched window 5, and the surface of the opening/closing lid 6 and the surface of the raised portion 4 are is the opening/closing lid 6
The surface of the wall and the surface of the standing wall around it are held flush with each other.

Further, a stopper projection d is provided on the inner surface of the lower end of the opening/closing lid 6, and when the opening/closing lid 6 is closed, the projection d engages with the lower end of the edge plate protruding from the peripheral edge a of the lid B. It is structured in such a way that it can be obtained.

When using the container according to the present invention, the lid body B is fitted onto the container body A by inserting the knife C through the cutout window 5 and covering the opening/closing lid 6 from above as shown in FIG. In addition, the whole can be hygienically closed with the cutout window 5 also covered with the opening/closing lid 6.

Further, after the knife C is removed, the opening/closing lid 6 can be reliably closed by engaging the protrusion d of the opening/closing lid 6 with the edge plate.

In the above embodiment, the stopper protrusion d is provided protrudingly on the inner surface of the lower end of the opening/closing lid 6, but there may be other protrusions that can be joined to the lower surface of the opening/closing lid 6 with the edge plate, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9. The strip C may be provided in a protruding manner.

As mentioned above, the container according to the present invention has a notched window in the end of the lid, and the lid is attached to the rear edge of this window via a hinge so that the lid can be opened and closed freely. By inserting a knife, spoon, etc. into the container and putting an open/close lid on it, the entire container can be kept hygienically, making it ideal as a container for butter, margarine, jam, etc. When the knife is removed, the opening/closing lid can be reliably closed by engaging the stopper protrusion with the edge plate protruding from the peripheral edge of the notched window. Since it is supported by the plate, when the lid is removed from the container body, the lid can be removed very smoothly without falling.

In addition, the container according to the present invention is made of polyethylene, polypropylene,
By injection molding using a synthetic resin material such as nylon, the container can be mass-produced at low cost, and furthermore, the container has features such as good appearance as a metal fitting, extremely convenient handling, and reliability.
