Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a container for storing and selling foods and the like.

Conventionally, food sales containers have been sold to consumers, for example, thin-walled synthetic resin containers filled with butter or the like. Consumers use the contents of the container as is at the table without replacing it with another container. In this type of container, the lid and container body are generally separated, the lid and the container body are handled separately, and after use, the lid is fitted onto the container body while aligning the peripheral fitting parts of both. It's becoming like that.

The present invention aims to provide such a container in which the container body and the lid are always engaged even during use, and the lid can be opened and closed with respect to the container body with a simple operation.

The present invention consists of a container body whose planar shape is approximately elliptical;
A container is provided with a lid of the same shape that is fitted from above, the container body and the lid are molded separately, and the pieces that touch each other are extended to the corner positions of the ellipse. A container characterized in that parts of these pieces are fixed to each other to form an overlapping fixed part, thereby imparting appropriate elasticity and strength to the pieces. It is.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. 1 in Figures 1 to 4
As shown in the figure, 2 is a nearly oval container body, 2 is a lid of the same shape that fits onto this from above, and 3 is a container body 1.
A piece 4 provided on the lid 2 is a piece provided on the lid 2. The piece 3 extends horizontally on a part of the edge 5 of the container body 1 in the form of a tongue. Similarly, the piece 4 extends in the form of a tongue on a part of the edge 6 of the lid 2 at a position corresponding to the piece 3. Each piece 3 and 4 can be provided at a corner of the container body 1 and the lid 2. Corresponding portions of the pieces 3 and 4 are immovably fixed to each other by gluing, fusing, or other means. 7 is a knob piece for opening. The edge 5 of the container body 1 and the edge 6 of the lid 2 are the fourth
As shown in the figure, they fit into each other around the entire circumference and are sealed as a container.

In the actual production process, after filling the container body 1 with a predetermined amount of contents, the lid 2 is fitted onto the container body 1, and then the pieces 3 and 4 are fixed.

When a consumer uses this container filled with contents, first pinch the opening knob piece 7 to release the fitting between the lid 2 and the container body 1, and then remove the pieces 3 and 4. When the lid 2 is lightly pushed in the direction of arrow A as shown in FIG.
It rotates in the direction of arrow B with the fixed portion as the center of rotation, and is displaced to the state shown by the chain line in FIG. Each piece has an appropriate width and thickness, and by using a synthetic resin material with appropriate elasticity and plasticity, both pieces can be appropriately deformed in the direction of arrow A with your fingertips. Therefore, the container body 1 of the lid 2
The opening angle can be adjusted as appropriate.
The open state can be maintained by leaving appropriate folds on both sides.

After use, when the fingertip is released, the lid 2 rotates in the opposite direction of arrow B, and the lid 2 can be fitted onto the container body 1.

In addition, the fixed pieces 3 and 4 are bent in advance by a predetermined amount in the direction of arrow A, and the lid 2 is held by the knob piece 7.
It is also possible to arrange that the lid 2 is automatically lifted up when the lid 2 is unfitted from the container body 1, and the lid 2 is opened at a predetermined position as shown in FIG.

Furthermore, grooves can be provided on the pieces 3 and 4 to provide a function equivalent to the folding groove. Note that these fixed pieces may be provided at a plurality of locations around the peripheral corners of the container body 1 and the lid 2. Further, these pieces may be fixed to each other by providing a fitting structure in each piece so that they cannot move freely. Examples of this fitting structure are shown in FIGS. 5 and 6. That is, FIG. 5 shows an example in which a hole is provided in one part and a protrusion is provided in the other part, and the two parts are fitted and connected. FIG. 6 shows an example in which one piece is provided with a protrusion and the other piece is provided with a groove, and the two pieces are fitted and connected. FIG. 6 shows an example in which one piece is provided with a protrusion and the other piece is provided with a groove, and the two pieces are fitted and connected.

As described above, according to the container of the present invention, the container body and the lid are always engaged, and the lid can be opened and closed with a single touch. Further, the opening angle of the lid can be easily adjusted as appropriate. Furthermore, by providing each piece of the container body and lid at the corners of the container, it is possible to use materials economically, and because a large area can be secured, the elasticity and strength can be adjusted over a wide range to suit the taste. You can get something with these functions. Furthermore, there are no unnatural protrusions from the container contour (that is, each corner is utilized), resulting in an excellent design.
