Description

Tobacco container

The present invention relates to a tobacco container in which a tobacco product is accommodated.

Smoking products include smokeless tobacco products such as snus, chewing tobacco, and snuff. These smokeless tobacco products contain tobacco material in the form of finely cut or finely ground tobacco leaves. The user uses smokeless tobacco products in the oral cavity and nasal cavity. As a smokeless tobacco product, a wet type product obtained by adding water or a flavoring agent to a tobacco material is generally used. The smokeless tobacco products are provided in the form of a pouch (pouch type) in which the tobacco material is packed as it is, or the tobacco material is packed in a small non-woven bag by 0.4 to 1.5 g. In such a smokeless tobacco product container, take into consideration that the contents (tobacco material or pouch) do not spill out and that the amount of moisture contained in the smokeless tobacco product is kept within a specified range. Therefore, sealability is required.

Here, as a form of the container of the smokeless tobacco product, for example, a flat cylindrical container as shown in Patent Document 1 has been proposed.
The container of Patent Document 1 is made of resin and includes a container body and a lid each having a cup shape. The lid is placed on the container body and can open and close the container body. More specifically, this container has convex portions on the upper outer peripheral surface of the container main body and the inner peripheral surface of the lid. When the lid is opened and closed, the convex portion of the lid climbs over the convex portion of the container body while the container main body and the lid are elastically deformed, whereby the convex portions are engaged with each other and the engagement is released. . That is, the lid is closed when these convex portions are engaged with each other, and the lid is opened when this engagement is released.

U.S. Pat.No. 4,094,421

By the way, in the case of the container of patent document 1, the container main body and the convex part of a lid are mutually engaged, and a container is sealed by forming an engaging part. In order to further improve the sealing performance of the container, it is necessary to increase the engaging force of the engaging portion. Thus, in order to increase the engaging force of the engaging portion, it is necessary to form the container body and the lid with a material that is difficult to elastically deform.
However, in this case, it may take time when the user opens and closes the lid.
On the other hand, if a material that can be easily elastically deformed is used in order to facilitate opening and closing of the lid, the sealing performance of the container may be impaired.

In addition, if the container is easy to open, the child can easily open the container.
Furthermore, for pouch type snus, it is necessary to discard the snus after use. However, if there is no trash bin nearby, it may be a problem to dispose of used snus.
The object of the present invention is to easily open and close the lid while ensuring high sealing performance of the container, and to prevent children from accidentally opening the container, and to dispose of used tobacco products. It is to provide a container for cigarettes that can be easily performed.

In order to achieve the above object, the tobacco container of the present invention is a tobacco container for storing tobacco products, each having a circular opening on both end walls, and dividing the interior into two storage chambers.

It is the perspective view which showed the container for tobacco of 3rd Embodiment.

(First embodiment)
Referring to FIG. 1, the container 2 of the first embodiment includes a container body 4 and two lids 6 attached to the upper end and the lower end of the container body 4. Specifically, the container 2 is a container for storing a pouch-type snus 80 and a used snus 82 in which a powdered tobacco material is packed in a small non-woven bag.
In this embodiment, the container body 4 and the lid 6 are made of an opaque synthetic resin material.

The container body 4 has a flat cylindrical shape and has openings 14 at both ends. The snus is taken in and out through the opening 14 of the container body 4. Each of the openings 14 can be opened and closed by fitting the lid 6.
As is apparent from FIG. 1, the lid 6 includes a disc-shaped lid body 8 and a handle 10 provided on the outer surface 16 of the lid body 8.
As shown in FIG. 2, the lid body 8 has substantially the same outer diameter as the inner diameter of the opening 14 and can be fitted into the opening 14. As shown in FIG. 1, the handle 10 is made of a rectangular bar, and both end portions 12 protrude outward in the radial direction of the lid body 8.
The lid 6 is attached to the container body 4 by engaging both end portions 12 of the handle 10 with the guide grooves 34 provided at the upper end portion and the lower end portion of the container body 4.

Hereinafter, the structure for attaching the lid 6 to the container body 4 and the configuration of the container body 4 will be described in detail.
As shown in FIG. 1, the container body 4 includes a cylindrical peripheral wall 18 that forms the outer peripheral portion thereof. As is apparent from FIG. 3, a partition wall 20 is provided inside the container body 4 so as to be orthogonal to the axis of the peripheral wall 18. The partition wall 20 partitions the inside of the container body 4 into two chambers. Moreover, the container main body 4 has the annular edge 22 which protrudes in the container main body 4 from the inner peripheral surface of the surrounding wall 18 in the part of the opening 14 of an upper end and a lower end, and extends along an inner peripheral surface.
That is, the interior of the container body 4 is surrounded by the partition wall 20, the peripheral wall 18 and the end edge 22, and is formed in two upper and

lower storage chambers

24 and 26 that can be opened and closed by the lid 6.

Here, although the end edge 22 is symmetrical on the upper side and the lower side, it has the same configuration, and therefore, the details will be described below by focusing on the end edge 22 on one side.
As apparent from FIG. 3, the inner peripheral surface of the end edge 22 has a stepped cross-sectional shape. Specifically, the end edge 22 includes a base end wall 30 positioned on the opening surface 28 side of the opening 14, and an inner flange 32 positioned on the accommodation chamber 24 side and having a smaller diameter than the inner diameter of the base end wall 30. ing.

As shown in FIG. 1, the base end wall 30 is provided with the above-described pair of guide grooves 34 at positions facing each other in the radial direction. These guide grooves 34 function to receive and guide both end portions 12 of the handle 10 of the lid 6 fitted in the opening 14. Since these guide grooves 34 are symmetrical with respect to the axis of the container body 4, the shape of the guide groove 34 on one side will be described below.

The guide groove 34 includes an outer notch 38 provided on the outer end surface 36 of the base end wall 30 and an inner groove 40 provided on the inner peripheral surface of the base end wall 30.
Specifically, the outer notch 38 opens at both the outer end surface 36 and the inner peripheral surface 42 of the base end wall 30, and extends from the inner peripheral surface 42 toward the radially outer side of the container body 4. That is, the outer notch 38 has a width dimension and a length dimension capable of receiving the end portion 12 of the handle 10 of the lid 6 (see FIG. 2).

As shown in FIG. 1, the inner groove 40 communicates with the outer notch 38, and a portion communicating with the outer notch 38 serves as a base end 54 and extends from the base end 54 to the inner peripheral surface 42 of the base end wall 30. It extends. More specifically, as is clear from FIG. 2, the inner groove 40 has an arc shape, and the groove depth is the same as the radial length of the outer notch 38 described above, and the axial direction of the container body 4 Is the same as the height of the handle 10 of the lid 6.
The lid 6 is attached to the opening 14 by the end 12 of the handle 10 being received in the corresponding guide groove 34. In this state, by moving the end 12 of the handle 10 along the guide groove 34 via the handle 10, the lid 6 is rotated with respect to the container body 4 in the circumferential direction or fitted in the axial direction. It is possible to perform combining and removing operations.

Specifically, first, when the end portion 12 of the handle 10 is positioned at the outer notch 38, the handle 10 is not restricted from moving in the direction along the axis of the container body 4, and is not aligned with the axis of the container body 4. It can move in the direction along. Therefore, the lid 6 can be fitted into and removed from the opening 14 of the container body 4. Here, when the end portion 12 of the handle 10 is positioned on the inner wall portion of the inner groove 40 positioned on the inner side in the axial direction of the container main body 4, the inner surface 44 of the lid main body 8 contacts the inner flange 32. In this state, when the end portion 12 of the handle 10 is moved along the inner groove 40, the lid body 8 rotates in the circumferential direction of the container body 4. When the end portion 12 of the handle 10 is in the inner groove 40, the handle 10 regulates the movement of the container body 4 in the axial direction, so that the lid body 8 maintains a contact state with the inner flange 32.

Here, as shown in FIG. 3, the inner flange 32 has an annular groove 48 coaxial with the inner flange 32 on the outer surface 46 facing the lid body 8. An O-ring 50 is disposed in the annular groove 48. Therefore, when the end 12 of the handle 10 is in the inner groove 40, the inner surface 44 of the lid body 8 is in close contact with the O-ring 50 of the inner flange 32. For this reason, the O-ring 50 maintains the sealing performance between the lid body 8 and the inner flange 32, that is, the accommodation chamber 24.

Furthermore, the base end wall 30 is provided with a slide stopper 56 as is apparent from FIG. The slide stopper 56 can restrict the movement of the end portion 12 of the handle 10 toward the proximal end 54 of the inner groove 40 when the end portion 12 of the handle 10 is positioned at the terminal end 52 of the inner groove 40. For this reason, rotation of the lid body 8 is restricted. The slide stopper 56 is provided in order to prevent the lid 6 from being in a state where it can be removed by moving both ends 12 of the handle 10 toward the outer notch 38 without the user's intention.

As shown in FIG. 2, the slide stopper 56 includes a guide hole 58 provided in the outer end surface 36 of the base end wall 30 and a slider 60 disposed in the guide hole 58. The slider 60 is guided by the guide hole 58 and can move forward and backward with respect to the inner groove 40.
As is apparent from FIG. 2, the guide hole 58 is formed so that the end portion 12 of the handle 10 in contact with the terminal end 52 of the inner groove 40 is in contact with the slider 60 when the slider 60 protrudes into the inner groove 40. It is sandwiched between the terminal end 52 and provided at a position that restricts the movement of the end 12 of the handle 10 toward the outer notch 38 side. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, the guide hole 58 has a rectangular access opening 62 extending in the radial direction of the container body 4 in the outer end surface 36 of the base end wall 30. The guide hole 58 extends from the access opening 62 to the same depth as the inner wall portion of the inner groove 40 along the axial direction of the container body 4. The guide hole 58 has a rectangular inner opening 64 communicating with the inner groove 40 at the inner end thereof.

The slider 60 has the same cross-sectional shape as the inner opening 64, and has a distal end portion 66 that can project into the inner groove 40 and a proximal end portion 68 that is positioned in the guide hole 58. The width dimension of the slider 60 is the same as the width dimension of the guide hole 58 and is constant from the distal end portion 66 to the proximal end portion 68. In addition, as is apparent from FIG. 4, the base end portion 68 is thicker than the distal end portion 66 in the dimension in the thickness direction of the slider 60. That is, a step 70 is generated at the boundary between the distal end portion 66 and the proximal end portion 68. Further, a protrusion 72 is provided on the upper surface of the base end portion 68.

The user can project and immerse the tip 66 of the slider 60 into the inner groove 40 by operating the protrusion 72 of the slider 60 through the access opening 62. More specifically, in FIG. 4, when the slider 60 is moved in the direction of arrow C, the tip end portion 66 projects into the inner groove 40 through the inner opening 64, and the movement of the handle 10 of the lid 6 can be restricted. At this time, in the slider 60, the step 70 of the base end portion 68 abuts against the inner end wall of the guide hole 58, and further movement is prevented, and the protruding length of the tip end portion 66 into the inner groove 40 is restricted. Can do. On the contrary, when the slider 60 is moved in the direction of arrow D, the tip end portion 66 is immersed in the inner groove 40, and the handle 10 of the lid 6 can freely move along the inner groove 40. That is, the handle 10 can be rotated to move the both ends 12 of the handle 10 to the outer notch 38 and the lid 6 can be removed.

Here, a rectangular cover 74 matching the access opening 62 is further attached to the access opening 62 of the slide stopper 56. The cover 74 is detachable, and hides the protrusion 72 of the slider 60 so that it cannot be seen from the outside. The cover 74 serves to prevent the child from operating the slider 60. This prevents the child from tampering and opening the lid 6.

Next, the usage method of the above containers 2 is demonstrated below.
As apparent from FIG. 3, the container 2 of the present embodiment has two

storage chambers

24, 26. Therefore, the storage chamber 24 stores the snus 80 before use, and the storage chamber 26 contains the snus 80. Can be used to accommodate the used snus 82.
First, a plurality of pre-use snus 80 is placed in the storage chamber 24 of the container 2 and the lid 6 is closed. As shown in FIG. 2, the handle 10 of the lid 6 is in a state where its end 12 is locked by the slide stopper 56. At this time, a cover 74 (not shown) is fitted into the access opening 62.

In such a state, the user first removes the cover 74 from the access opening 62 and exposes the proximal end portion 68 of the slider 60. Then, the protrusion 72 of the slider 60 located inside the access opening 62 is operated to slide the slider 60 outward in the radial direction of the container body 4. Thereby, the lock of the slide stopper 56 is released, and thus the lid 6 can be rotated. Here, the user rotates the lid 6 in the direction of arrow A in FIG. 2 and moves both end portions 12 of the handle 10 to the outer notch 38. Thereby, since the lid 6 can be removed from the container body 4, the user takes the handle 10, opens the lid 6, and exposes the storage chamber 24. Thereby, the operation of opening the lid 6 is completed, and the user can take out the snus 80 from the storage chamber 24 and use it.

After this, the user performs an operation to close the lid 6. That is, first, the both end portions 12 of the handle 10 are aligned with the outer notch 38 and pushed into the inner wall portion of the inner groove 40 through the outer notch 38. As a result, the inner surface 44 of the lid body 8 and the outer surface 46 of the inner flange 32 are in close contact with each other via the O-ring 50. From this state, the handle 10 is further photographed, the lid body 8 is rotated in the direction of arrow B in FIG. 2, and the both end portions 12 of the handle 10 are moved to the end 52 of the inner groove 40. At this time, the lid 6 is restricted from moving in the axial direction of the container body 4 by the engagement between the both end portions 12 of the handle 10 and the inner groove 40. And since the seal | sticker between the cover main body 8 and the inner flange 32 is ensured by the O-ring 50, the sealing performance in the storage chamber 24 is maintained and the remaining snus 80 can be prevented from drying.

Further, in order to lock the end portion 12 of the handle 10 at the end 52 of the inner groove 40, the tip end portion 66 of the slider 60 is projected into the inner groove 40. That is, the slider 60 is slid inward in the radial direction of the container body 4 through the access opening 62 and through the protrusion 72. As a result, the end 12 of the handle 10 is sandwiched between the end 52 of the inner groove 40 and the tip 66 of the slider 60 and locked. As a result, the rotation of the lid 6 is prevented and the lid 6 does not open carelessly.
Finally, the cover 74 is fitted into the access opening 62, whereby the operation for closing the lid 6 is completed.

Note that the user can temporarily store the used snus in the storage chamber 26. At this time, the user turns the container 2 upside down and places the storage chamber 26 side up, and performs the operation of opening the cover 6 on the storage chamber 26 side as described above to open the cover 6 and the storage chamber. 26, the used snus 82 is put in, and then the lid 6 is closed in the same manner. Thereafter, the user can dispose of the used snus 82 in the storage chamber 26 at an appropriate place.

The present invention is not limited to the first embodiment described above, and various modifications are possible. For example, in the present embodiment, the container body 4 and the lid 6 are formed of an opaque synthetic resin material, but may be formed of a metal material, or one of the container body 4 and the lid 6 is synthesized. The other material may be formed of a metal material. In addition, for example, different types of snus may be separately stored in the

storage chambers

24 and 26, or one of the storage chambers may be used for an accessory case or the like. In addition, the container of the present invention is not limited to the storage of snus, it can be used for storing other smokeless tobacco products such as chewing tobacco and snuff tobacco, pipe tobacco products, or nicotine tablets It can also be used to contain tobacco-related products such as nicotine gum and nicotine patch.

(Second Embodiment)
FIG. 5 shows the container 2 of the second embodiment, which is the same as the container 2 of the first embodiment except that the lid 6 is formed of a colorless and transparent synthetic resin material. .
In this way, when the lid 6 is formed of a colorless and transparent synthetic resin material, the contents can be visually recognized without opening the lid 6, as shown in FIG. It is also possible to prevent the lid 6 on the side of the storage chamber 26 that stores the used snus 82 from being accidentally opened.

In the present embodiment, the lid 6 is formed of a colorless and transparent synthetic resin material. However, the present invention is not limited to this aspect, and the cover 6 is colored as long as it is a transparent material whose contents can be visually recognized. It may be present or may be translucent.

(Third embodiment)
FIG. 6 shows the container 2 of the third embodiment, which is the same as the container 2 of the first embodiment except that a pattern 83 is provided on the upper outer end surface 36. The pattern 83 includes six triangular symbols 84 arranged at equal intervals in the circumferential direction of the container 2, and is attached only to the upper outer end surface 36 of the container 2.
Thus, in the container 2, when the pattern 83 which becomes a mark is attached | subjected to the outer end surface 36 of the upper part, the upper side of the container 2 can be identified easily.
