Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Field of industrial application] The present invention relates to a container for storing a tapered article, and in particular, a tapered container filled with a semi-fluid content as a tapered article, which can be placed upright or inverted. Containers suitable for

[Conventional technology]

In tapered products made by filling a tube-shaped tapered container with semi-liquid contents such as mayonnaise, dressing, and ketchup, when the contents are consumed and the remaining amount becomes small, it flows down to the bottom of the container each time it is used. Since the contents must be moved to the vicinity of the top of the container, it takes time to pour out the contents from the mouth, and it is extremely difficult to remove all the contents.

Therefore, by inverting the container for tapered items, the remaining contents are always collected at the top of the container.
Container stands for tapered articles that allow the contents to be taken out immediately and completely are considered, and specifically, for example, semi-fluid contents (mayonnaise) as described in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 57-74146. A tapered product filled in a tapered container can be placed upright (standing upright with the container head of the tapered product facing upwards) or inverted (standing upside down with the container head of the tapered product facing downwards). There is a container stand that can be used to hold tapered items upright and upside down.

In other words, this container stand has a base plate made of plastic molding, etc., and a support with a handle at the top end is erected at the center of the top of the base plate, and a support for the body of the tapered product is placed in the center of the support. A stop support frame is appropriately disposed, and a recess for receiving the head of the tapered article is formed on the upper surface of the base plate, facing the mounting position of the support frame.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

However, the above-mentioned conventional container stand has a base plate,
It consists of a structure such as a support and a support frame, and the support frame supports the middle part of the tapered article, and when the tapered article is placed upright, the bottom part is placed on the base plate, and when it is placed upside down, the bottom part is placed on the base plate. Since the head is simply inserted into the head receiving recess on the base plate, the holding force at the bottom of the tapered object is weak in both upright and inverted positions, and it is resistant to vibrations, shocks, etc. Difficult to hold stably. In addition, there is no space to decorate the surface with flowers or designs to make it stand out, and because of its structure, it is difficult to make it with hard paper, for example, so the base plate is made of plastic molded products, and the support and support frames are difficult to make. Since it is made of metal, it is bulky and cannot be manufactured at low cost, so it is convenient as a container stand that can be used both upright and upside down for tapered items used on dining tables. It is difficult to use it as a packaging or display container during the distribution process.

Further, conventional container stands have the disadvantage that when tapered articles are housed in an upright or inverted position, almost all of the articles are exposed and are easily soiled.

The present invention solves these conventional problems, and can stably hold tapered objects regardless of whether they are placed upright or upside down, and also allows decorations such as flower patterns or figures to be applied to the surface. It can be manufactured at a low cost and can be used not only as a container (container stand) for holding tapered items upright and upside down on the dining table, but also as a container stand for holding tapered items upright. It is an object of the present invention to provide a container for both normal and inverted positioning of tapered articles, which can be used as a container for packaging during distribution or displaying during sales.

[Means for solving problems]

The means for achieving the above object will be explained with reference to FIGS. 1 to 9, which correspond to embodiments. The container of the present invention for both normal and inverted tapered articles has a tapered article 20 erected inside. Lower torso 2
A lid 10 is provided on the top opening 2 of the container main body 1 having a recess 3 capable of accommodating a container 3a, and is provided with a lid 10 which is attached to the top opening 2 so as to be able to freely open and close. It is characterized by having a hole 14 of a size capable of supporting the neck portion 22 or the upper body portion 23b of the tapered article 20.

[Effect]

In the container for both normal and inverted positioning of tapered articles of the present invention having the above-mentioned configuration, the lid 10, which is provided in a manner that can be raised and lowered at the top opening (hereinafter also simply referred to as opening) 2 of the container main body 1, can be raised and lowered. 1 is opened, and the lower body portion 23a of the tapered article 20 is inserted into the recess 3 in the container body 1 and housed in the normal position. In this way, the tapered article 20
The lower part 23a of the body is supported within the container body 1, and the lid 10 standing up on the top opening 2 of the container body 1 also functions as a support to prevent the tapered article 20 from falling over. Stable support will be provided in this condition.

In addition, the top opening 2 of the container body 1 is closed with the lid 10 facing down, and the head 2 is inserted into the hole 14 of the lid 10.
If the neck part 22 or the upper body part 23b of the tapered article 20 is fitted with the tapered article 20 facing downward, the lid body 10 with the hole 14 will work as a frame body to support the tapered article 20, and even if there is a shock, vibration, etc. The tapered article 20 is only slightly tilted, and the head 21 is prevented from moving by the inner surface R of the recess 3 of the container body 1, and does not protrude or protrude from the bottom wall 4. Therefore, the tapered article 20 is stably supported in an inverted state.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

In FIGS. 1 to 4, 1 is a container main body, which has an opening 2 on its upper surface, and has a head 21 inside which has an area that allows one tapered article 20 to be lined up on the left and right. A recess 3 is formed with a depth such that the lower body part 23a (up to the body part 23 slightly above the bottom part 24) of the tapered article 20 that is erected upward is accommodated. Receiving portions 5, 5 are formed which are circular depressions in which the head 21 of the tapered article 20 is placed.

Since the receiving parts 5, 5 are used to arrange and lock the head 21 of the inverted tapered article 20, it is desirable that the receiving parts 5, 5 have a size that allows the outer periphery of the head 21 to fit therein.

Reference numeral 10 denotes a lid for closing the top opening 2 of the container body 1, and is provided on the top opening 2 of the container body 1 so as to be able to rise and fall freely. This lid body 10 is provided with a fixing piece 11 in the center thereof, which has both ends 11a and 11b fixed to the upper edge of the center of the top opening 2 of the container body 1, and both sides of this fixing piece 11 are folded with grooves. Opening/closing parts 13, 13 are provided which can be freely raised and lowered within a range of about 90 degrees from the line of sight 12, 12, and these opening/closing parts 13, 1
3 supports the outer periphery of the neck portion 22 of the tapered article 20 which is inverted with the head 21 facing downward, so as to be located directly above the receiving portions 5, 5 formed on the bottom wall 4 of the container body 1, respectively. Holes 14, 14 as large as possible
is drilled. The size of the holes 14, 14 may be set to a size that can support the outer periphery of the upper body portion 23b of the tapered article 20, depending on the case.

In order to store the tapered article 20 (in this case, a tapered tube-shaped container filled with mayonnaise) in the normal position in such a container, the opening/closing parts 13, 13 of the lid body 10 should be aligned with the fold lines 12, 12. The recesses 3, 3 of the container main body 1 are bent approximately 90 degrees through the center to stand up, and are partitioned by fixing pieces 11 on both sides of the opening/closing portion 1313 brought to the center, with the upper surface open.
The lower body part 23a of the tapered article 20, 20, which is erected, is placed in the holder. FIG. 5 shows how the tapered articles 20 are displayed in a store with the tapered articles 20 placed upright. It is housed inside the container body 1, and a packaging bag 3 is placed on the outside of the container body 1.
1 is covered.

In addition, in order to invert the tapered article 20 in the container body 1, in a state where the opening/closing parts 13, 13 of the lid body 10 are closed horizontally, the opening/closing part 13, 13, 13 holes 1
4, 14, the neck 2 of the tapered article 20
The outer periphery of the tapered article 20 is fitted into the hole 14, and the head 21 of the tapered article 20 is engaged with the receiving portion 5 of the container body 1, so that the tapered article 20 is stably supported upside down.

In this case, it goes without saying that the receiving part 5 disposed at the bottom of the container body 1 may employ an appropriate locking means capable of locking the head 21 of the tapered article 20, for example, as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. It is also possible to arrange locking rings 5c and 5d having a predetermined inner diameter on the bottom wall 4.

Further, by changing the shapes of the container body 1 and the lid 10, the number of tapered articles 20 accommodated can be changed to only one or three or more. 9th
The figure shows a case where three opening/closing parts 13 of the lid body 10 are provided so that three tapered articles 20 can be accommodated.

Furthermore, although not shown in the drawings, the container of the present invention can be decorated with an appropriate pattern or design such as a flower pattern on the surface of the container body 1 or the lid 10. In addition to plastic and hard paper, the material may also be ceramic, wood, metal, or the like.

[Effects of the invention] As described above, the container of the present invention that can be used for both normal and inverted positioning of tapered objects can stably hold tapered objects in normal and inverted positions with the simple operation of opening and closing the lid. It can be manufactured inexpensively using hard paper or plastic, and its surface can be easily decorated beautifully, so it can be used to promote product sales by enhancing the appearance of packaging containers for tapered products or products displayed at stores. It can be used as a display container when selling products, and after the product is sold, it can also be used as a container stand for holding tapered items both upright and upside down on the dining table of the purchaser's home. Even if the contents in the tapered article have poor fluidity, they can always flow down near the mouth, allowing the contents to be taken out immediately during use, and it is also possible to take out all the contents.

Furthermore, the portion of the tapered article that is placed upright or upside down in the container of the present invention is accommodated within the container body.
Because it is supported or surrounded by the sides of the container body, it is difficult to get dirty, and in particular, when the tapered article is turned upside down, the head of the tapered article is not exposed, and the container body is closed by the lid and the tapered article itself. Since it is housed inside, it has the effect of being hygienic.
