Description

container

The present invention relates to a container made of paper, plastic, metal or the like.

Generally, there are various types of containers such as general-purpose containers, disabled-use containers, and business-use containers. For example, for business use, there are containers for storing chemicals such as hair dye used in barbers or beauty salons.

Conventionally, when hair is dyed at a beauty salon or the like, for example, a container containing a hair dyeing agent is placed on the wagon, and the wagon is moved to a place close to the hand, and a chemical solution is applied to the brush and repeatedly applied to the customer's hair. It was applied.

In this method, the distance between the chemical container and the hair was long, and the work efficiency was poor. As a tool for efficiently performing this hair dyeing work, for example, an arm container for hairdressing and beauty described in Patent Document 1 has been proposed.

This hair and beauty arm container is composed of a band to be fastened to the wrist and a container body for removably attaching the band to the band via a fastener for storing a chemical solution such as a hair coloring solution (Patent Document 1 (claim)). Item 1, FIG. 1)).

Hereinafter, embodiments for carrying out the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an embodiment of a dye container suitable for a hair dyeing operation performed while gathering hair and picking a string.
(Embodiment 1)

The dye container 100 is used in a barber shop or a beauty salon, and is used to put a dye such as a hair dye or a hair dye solid. The dye container 100 is made of a synthetic resin. The dye container 100 is integrally formed from, for example, polypropylene or high-density polyethylene. In addition, the dye container 100 may be made of ceramic, wooden, paper, metal, or the like.

The dye container 100 of the present embodiment includes a grip means having a thumb insertion hole 1 for inserting a user's thumb (first finger) from obliquely below, and a container body 60. This grip means is connected to a part of the outer side surface or peripheral edge of the container main body 60, and has a thumb locking part 10, a thumb mounting part 20, and a mother on the periphery of the thumb insertion hole 1. The finger support part 30, the latch holding | maintenance part 40, and the other finger holding part 50 are provided.

As shown in FIG. 1, the thumb locking portion 10 protrudes obliquely from the container body 60 so as to project outside the container body 60. The protrusion angle can be selected from the range of about 10 degrees to 80 degrees, and can preferably be selected from the range of about 30 degrees to 60 degrees.

It is more preferable that the thumb locking portion 10 is provided so as to protrude obliquely upward with a large angle from a substantially horizontal direction. In this case, when the thumb locking portion 10 is locked at the junction of the user's thumb inserted into the thumb insertion hole 1 and the index finger (second finger), It is easy to make the upper edge part of the container main body 60 substantially horizontal in a natural state with the spread.

Also, the thumb locking portion 10 is formed in a substantially reverse U-shaped cross section or a substantially reverse J-shaped cross section so that it can be easily locked at the joining portion of the user's thumb and index finger. The thumb insertion hole 1 is formed in a substantially oblique oval shape, with a thumb locking portion 10 provided on one of its long axes, and a thumb placement portion 20 provided on the other side.

The thumb placement part 20 is provided on the outer surface of the container body 60 or other part of the upper edge part with the thumb insertion hole 1 interposed therebetween so as to have a predetermined interval from the thumb locking part 10. . This thumb resting portion 20 is formed in a substantially hook-like longitudinal section having a substantially inverted U-shaped longitudinal section or a substantially inverted J-shaped longitudinal section so that the user's thumb metacarpal bone is hooked inside. .

A space is formed on the inner side of the thumb placement unit 20 so that the user's thumb, particularly the thumb metacarpal bone, is caught inside. The thumb placement part 20 is provided with a predetermined inclination angle toward the tip of the thumb locking part 10 having a substantially inverted U-shaped cross section or a substantially inverted J-shaped cross section.

The angle formed by the axis of the thumb hooked on the thumb rest 20 and the upper surface of the container body 60 is formed by the inclination angle of the thumb rest 20. The angle is in the range of about 10 degrees to 70 degrees. In FIG. 1, a thumb locking portion 10 and a thumb placement portion 20 are provided continuously with a thumb insertion hole 1.

The peripheral edge portion of the thumb rest 20 may be provided with an elastic resin. In this case, even if the thickness or shape of the user's finger is different, the user's finger tends to adhere closely to the periphery of the thumb. When the thumb and the thumb rest 20 are in close contact with each other, the container body 60 is unlikely to wobble.

On the other hand, the other finger gripping part 50 is provided in a part of the peripheral edge of the container main body 60 between the container finger 60 and the thumb locking part 10. The other finger grip 50 is a part having an area that can be gripped by one or both of the user's ring finger (fourth finger) and little finger (fifth finger). The other finger grip 50 is formed in a concave shape that is slightly recessed obliquely downward. A thumb support 30 is connected to the other finger grip 50.

The thumb support part 30 is located below the periphery of the thumb insertion hole 1 and between the thumb locking part 10 and the thumb placement part 20, and between the thumb insertion hole 1 and the container body 60. It is provided in between. FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA in FIG. As shown in FIG. 2, the thumb support part 30 includes a curved part 31 that is gently curved so that the upper part is substantially obliquely convex.

The curved part 31 is formed above the thumb support part 30. The bending portion 31 and the thumb support portion 30 are formed in a gentle arc shape so that they can come into contact with the user's thumb ball. In this manner, the dye container 100 is supported from an oblique side while the thumb support 30 is in contact with the user's thumb ball.

The locking holding part 40 is provided so as to be continuous with both the thumb locking part 10 and the thumb mounting part 20, and the side of the thumb locking part 10 and the thumb mounting part 20. It is formed to be curved in an arc shape obliquely downward while overhanging. An abutting surface 41 is formed on the inner side of the latch holding portion 40 so as to abut on the user's index finger.

The larger the area of the abutment surface 41, the smaller the wobbling of the container body 60 and the more stable the dye container 100 even when the finger is released.

As shown in FIG. 2, the container main body 60 has a substantially semicircular arc shape with a convex downward section, and is formed asymmetrically left and right as shown in FIG. That is, a steep wall 61 having a relatively steep rising slope is formed on one side of the container main body 60 where the thumb locking portion 10 is provided.

On the other hand, on the other side of the container body 60 where the thumb locking part 10 is not provided, the container body 60 is formed to be curved in a relatively gentle arc shape from the bottom surface 62 of the container body 60. An inclined portion 63 is provided on the half circumference of the upper edge portion of the container body 60 on the one side from the other side, and is inclined obliquely upward while projecting outward.

The bottom surface 62 has a relatively flat flat surface. For this reason, the dye container 100 can stand on its own.

Next, a method of using the dye container 100 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing how to use the dye container 100.

When applying the dye chemical contained in the dye container 100 to the customer's hair, the user's thumb a is inserted into the thumb insertion hole 1 from below the dye container 100. In this case, in FIG. 3, the thumb locking part 10 is hooked and locked between the thumb a and the index finger b of the user's left hand, more specifically at the junction of the thumb a and the index finger b. .

The dye container 100 placed on the wagon can be lifted by raising the left hand upward with the thumb a standing up, that is, with the palm in the vertical state instead of the horizontal state. At this time, the thumb metacarpal of the thumb a enters the inside of the thumb placement unit 20 and the thumb metacarpal is caught inside the thumb placement unit 20.

Thus, the dye container 100 is caught by the thumb a at the two points of the confluence of the thumb a and the index finger b and the thumb metacarpal by the thumb a inserted in the thumb insertion hole 1, and the dye container 100 is It does not slide down from the hand. For this reason, according to the dye container 100, it is possible to work while being easily lifted from the wagon and always close to the customer's hair.

Since the dye container 100 containing the dye is close to the head of the customer to be dyed, the working distance of the brush from the dye container 100 to the customer's hair can be shortened. For this reason, work time can be shortened. That is, the time for the hair dyeing work can be shortened. Further, since the work can be performed in the state of being close to the customer's head, it is possible to prevent unexpected situations such as spilling the dye on the floor or the like.

During this operation, the four fingers, the index finger b, the middle finger (third finger) c, the ring finger d, and the little finger e other than the thumb a can be separated from the dye container 100. This is because the dye container 100 is locked to the thumb a at two points of the joining point of the thumb a and the index finger b and the middle thumb of the thumb, and the dye container 100 does not slide down from the hand.

4 fingers other than the thumb a can also support the dye container 100 from below. Moreover, it is possible to perform an operation such as hooking another object with these four fingers or any one of the fingers. For example, when performing a hair dyeing operation, the user's hair other than the thumb a of the hand inserted in the thumb insertion hole 1 can be used to collect the customer's hair or to pick up a string that binds the hair.

Or, it is possible to perform operations such as changing the brush for dyeing with four fingers other than the thumb a. In this way, it is possible to easily perform the hair dyeing work while holding the dye container 100 with one hand and keeping it close to the customer's hair. For example, remove the string that is hooked on the hand holding the dye container 100 with one hand and bind the hair directly from the dye container 100 so that the hair is bundled. Can be done.

Further, according to the dye container 100, the angle formed by the axis of the thumb a inserted into the thumb insertion hole 1 and the upper surface of the container body 60 is an angle of 10 degrees to 70 degrees. Thus, with the dye container 100 supported, the upper edge of the container main body 60 is likely to be nearly horizontal. As described above, since the work can be performed in a naturally held state, the work is easy and fatigue is reduced.

Further, according to the dye container 100, the thumb support part 30 includes the semicircular arc-shaped curved part 31 that is gently curved so that the upper part is obliquely convex, so that the palm is in a vertical state during the work. Even in a slightly inclined state, the dye container 100 can be easily held stably at three points such that the thumb support portion 30 comes into contact with the thumb ball.

In this way, since the dye container 100 can be held at the time of work, the finger is not burdened and it is hard to get tired even if it is used for a long time. Even a disabled person or an elderly person whose finger strength has weakened, it is easy to stably hold the dye container 100, and the stability is good.

Further, according to the dye container 100, since the other finger gripping part 50 is further provided, the other finger gripping part can be used with one or both of the ring finger d and the little finger e of the hand inserted in the thumb insertion hole 1. 50, the holding state of the dye container 100 can be further stabilized.

In this case, the hair coloring agent is spilled on the floor even in the forward tilted state or the backward tilted state in which the cock is effective so as to have an angle between the wrist and the arm inserted into the thumb insertion hole 1. The unexpected situation can be prevented. For example, the hair dyeing operation can be performed in a state in which the dye container 100 is tilted forward toward the customer's hair and the inclined portion 63 is further closer.

Further, according to the dye container 100, the steep wall 61 is formed on one side of the container body 60. Therefore, for example, even if the dye container 100 is tilted back to the steep wall 61 side, the dye in the dye container 100 is placed. You can work without spilling.

As described above, according to the dye container 100, even if the wrist holding the dye container 100 is tilted to some extent in either the slightly forward tilted state, the slightly tilted backward state, or the left-right direction, Since it can maintain the state hold | maintained firmly, it can prevent that a dye spills. Therefore, it is possible to work stably by efficiently using both hands and fingers according to the work.

Furthermore, according to the dye container 100, the container main body 60 includes the bottom surface 62, so that it can be self-supporting. For this reason, when the work is finished, it is only necessary to remove the thumb a from the thumb insertion hole 1 of the dye container 100 placed on a work table such as a wagon, and the attachment / detachment work can be facilitated.

In the above-described embodiment, an example in which the present invention is applied to the dye container 100 including the container body 60 having a substantially semicircular arc in the longitudinal section is shown, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the container body 60 can be a substantially flat pallet. In this case, it is suitable for the palette for hair dyeing manicure work. Thus, the use of the dye container 100 is not limited.

Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the thumb insertion part 1 is provided and the thumb locking part 10 and the thumb mounting part 20 are connected, it is not limited to this at all. For example, the thumb locking portion 10 and the thumb placement portion 20 may be provided separately from each other. For example, a notch continuous to the thumb insertion hole 1 may be formed between them.
(Embodiment 2)

FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing a container according to another embodiment. In FIG. 4, for example, when an elderly person, a disabled person, an infant, or a small child who needs nursing care wants to eat, the container grasped by the hand of an assistant or family member does not slide down easily. It is a handicapped cup 200 that is easy to use so that it can be served near the mouth of a person who wants to take care of. The handicapped cup 200 is made of, for example, ceramic or plastic. Other than this, it may be made of wood or paper.

As shown in FIG. 4, the handicapped cup 200 has a thumb locking part 210, a thumb mounting part 220, a thumb support part 230, and a locking holding part 240 around the periphery of the thumb insertion hole 201. And a container main body 250. The parts corresponding to those in FIG. 1 are denoted by the same reference numerals.

The thumb locking portion 210 has a protrusion angle from the container body 250 selected within a range of approximately 20 to 40 degrees, and is slightly obliquely upward compared to the dye container 100 of the first embodiment. It is provided so as to protrude.

The thumb locking portion 210 is formed in a substantially reverse U-shaped vertical section or a generally inverted J-shaped vertical section upward from a part of the outer surface or peripheral edge of the container body 250. The thumb insertion hole 201 penetrates along the substantially reverse U-shaped or substantially inverted J-shaped vertical section of the thumb locking portion 210 so that the thumb a can be inserted.

The thumb placement part 220 is provided on the outer surface of the container main body 250 or on the other part of the upper edge so as to project outward from the thumb locking part 210 across the thumb insertion hole 201. The thumb resting part 220 is connected to the thumb locking part 210 at a predetermined interval. With this connection, the tip of the thumb lock 210 is twisted. The inclination angle of the thumb resting portion 20 is in the range of about 20 to 40 degrees.

In the thumb support part 230, a heat insulating member is provided. This heat insulating member has an effect of making it difficult for heat to pass through to the user's hand when contents such as a liquid having a high temperature are put in the cup 200 for the handicapped.

As in the first embodiment, the locking holding portion 240 has a contact surface 41 formed thereon. As the area of the contact surface 41 is larger, the wobbling of the container body 250 is less and the handicapped cup 200 is more stable even when the finger is released, as in the first embodiment.

The container body 250 is provided with a curved surface 252 whose lower portion is curved in an arc shape. The curved portion 252 has a symmetrical shape over the entire circumference.

When serving a disabled person using the cup 200 for the disabled, for example, the cup 200 for the disabled with rice or rice cake is grasped by the helper's hand. In this case, the assistant's thumb a is inserted into the thumb insertion hole 201. By inserting the thumb a into the thumb insertion hole 201, the thumb a may be caught and fall inside the thumb locking portion 210 and the thumb placement portion 220 even if the hand gripping the handicapped cup 200 slips. Absent.

Since the protrusion angle of the thumb locking part 210 is selected from a range of approximately 20 to 40 degrees, it is easy to use with the thumb a lying down. Moreover, since the inclination angle of the thumb resting portion 20 is in the range of approximately 20 to 40 degrees, it can be in close contact with the thumb a.

When the handicapped cup 200 is held in this state, the other fingers, for example, the index finger b, the middle finger c, the ring finger d, and the little finger e can be held along the outside below the upper edge of the container body 250. . Then, these other fingers do not come out from the upper edge of the container body 250 and can be served hygienically.

Also, according to the handicapped cup 200, since the curved surface 252 is provided, the entire lower part of the container body 250 can be supported with the palm up. Moreover, it can be stably held by a palm.

When the handicapped cup 200 is held on the palm in this way, the finger is not burdened and it is hard to get tired even if it is used for a long time. For this reason, the handicapped cup 200 can be stably held even by a disabled person or an elderly person who has weakened finger strength.

It should be noted that a hill may be provided on the curved surface 252 of the container body 250. In this case, the handicapped cup 200 can stand on its own, and can be placed on a table or the like when not in use. Moreover, it is good also as a structure which provided the non-slip | skid material in the ground contact surface of the hill. In this case, it is possible to prevent the handicapped cup 200 from sliding on the table during the meal.

In the above embodiment, another container can be placed on the container

main bodies

60 and 250 and used as a container holder. In the first and second embodiments, the handle means and the container main body 60.250 are integrally formed. However, the present invention is not limited to this.

For example, the grip means and the container

main bodies

60 and 250 may be separable. In this case, the container

main bodies

60 and 250 can be changed to those having different sizes, shapes, etc. according to the application. In this case, the container body can be replaced with a different shape, so that, for example, it can be replaced with a dye container, a handicapped cup, or a plate for manicure each time. Also, when it is deteriorated or soiled, only that part can be replaced.

Furthermore, the grip means may be axially movable with respect to the container body. In this case, the angle can be adjusted according to the physique of the user. For example, in the case of including an axial movement portion having an axial movement mechanism, the container

main bodies

60 and 250 can be kept horizontal even when the user changes the angle of the arm.
