DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a brewing container.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a container of this kind, a container body having a top wall extending from an upper end edge of a cylindrical peripheral wall and a through-hole for swinging out at an eccentric position of the top wall; A peripheral wall is fitted to the upper end so as to be rotatable and unable to escape upward, the upper surface of the top wall of the container is slidably closed from the upper edge of the peripheral wall, and a through-hole for swinging is formed at an eccentric position. And a lid formed by extending a top wall.

[0003] In these methods, when the lid is not used, the lid is stopped at a position where its diverging hole does not coincide with the diverting hole of the container body, and the lid is rotated at the time of use so that the two diverging holes coincide with each other. It is configured to swing out an object.

[0004]

The above-mentioned container can be swung out simply by turning the lid, and after use, the opening can be closed by turning the lid again. It is a convenient device that can swing out an object or close a swing-out hole.

[0005] However, since the lid rotates with respect to the container body, it is possible to open the spouting hole before use, which is inconvenient. For this reason, generally, the entire container is shrink-wrapped or passed over the lid and the container and sealed with a sealing material such as paper before being transferred to consumers. The packaging requires equipment and costs for a film and the like. On the other hand, a seal made of paper or the like must be re-adhered or the like, and there is also a disadvantage that these are easily damaged by impact or the like.

Therefore, one of the objects of the present invention is to prevent the rotation of the lid before opening and to prevent the opening of the swing-out hole. An object of the present invention is to provide an excellent dispensing container that is convenient, does not break open due to impact or the like, and can be easily opened.

[0007] Further, there is a fear that the sealing performance of the conventional container immediately deteriorates. That is, in the conventional one, the upper surface of the container top wall and the lower surface of the lid top wall are simply brought into contact with each other, and the locking is performed only by fitting the peripheral wall of the lid to the peripheral wall of the container. A gap is easily generated between the top walls. In addition, since the contents of the container are solids such as powders and granules, when the lid is rotated after the container is closed to close the hole, the lower surface of the lid top wall and the upper surface of the container top wall are separated. If there is any gap in the sliding surface, the contents are pushed in, and the gap is further enlarged, and there is a possibility that the content may be communicated with the outside through the lid swing-out hole.

[0008] Therefore, one of the objects of the present invention is to propose a squirt container having good airtightness in addition to the above objects.

[0009]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, a cylindrical second engaging portion is provided at an upper end of a cylindrical first engaging portion provided at an upper end of a cylindrical body portion. The container body 2 is provided with a top wall 10 that covers the upper end opening while the part 9 is erected, and the peripheral wall 12 is rotatably mounted on the outer periphery of the second engagement part 9 via concave and convex engaging means. Along with the fitting, a top wall 14 extending through an inclined wall 13 descending inward from the upper edge of the peripheral wall 12 is slidably pressed against an upper surface of the container body top wall 10, and a lower surface center of the top wall 14. The locking projection 16 that is more vertically provided is a through hole in the container body top wall 10.
And a lid 3 which is rotatable and locked so as not to be able to come out of the cover 19, and an upper edge of the lid 3 is connected to a lower edge of the peripheral wall 12 of the lid via a break 20 and the first engagement portion 7 is integrally provided with a locking cylinder 4 which can be fitted from above, is fitted non-rotatably, and can be cut off by breaking the breaking portion 20, and the container body top wall 10 and the lid. The swing-out container is characterized in that swing-out holes 25 and 26 are formed at eccentric positions of the body top wall 14 where the rotation can be overlapped, respectively.

Further, according to a second aspect of the present invention, a cut groove-shaped spaced portion 23 is formed in a part of the locking cylinder 4, and the cut portion 23 is formed at a rear end portion protruding outward from a side edge of one end. Plate-shaped finger hook 24
Is formed so that the locking cylinder 4 can be cut off.

[0011]

When the latching cylinder 4 is broken at the breaking portion 20 and removed from the state shown in FIG. 1 by holding the finger hook 24, the lid 3 is rotatable, and as a result, the lid 3 swings out. The lid 3 until the hole 26 coincides with the through hole 25 for swinging out the container 2.
By rotating the, the contents can be swung out.

After use, if the lid 3 is turned again to shift the positions of the two through-holes, the inside of the container 2 is well shut off from the outside. At this time, the top wall 14 of the lid 3 is pressed against the container top wall 10 due to the presence of the inclined wall 13, and the center of the lid top wall 14 is always in the center of the lid top wall 10 by the locking projection 16. Since it is configured not to be separated from the upper surface, it is possible to prevent a gap or the like from being formed between the top walls 10 and 14 as much as possible even if there are repeated rotation operations.

[0013]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIGS. 1 to 4 show an embodiment of the present invention. A container 1 comprises a container body 2, a lid 3, and a locking cylinder 4 provided integrally with the lid 3 for preventing rotation. It consists of.

The container body 2 is formed of a synthetic resin or the like.
An engaging portion 7 is erected, and a cylindrical second engaging portion 9 whose diameter is reduced from an upper end edge of the engaging portion 7 via a step portion 8 is erected. In addition, a horizontal top wall 10 that closes an upper end opening is provided laterally at a lower end portion of the first engagement portion 7.

Further, the lower end opening of the body portion 5 is configured to be closed by a separately formed bottom cover 11.

The cylindrical body 5 is not limited to the cylindrical shape as in the present embodiment, but may be a polygonal shape, an elliptical shape, or another cylindrical shape. Further, the lower step 6 does not always have to be provided, and when the body 5 is cylindrical, the first engaging portion 7 may have the same diameter as the body 5. In addition, the upper step 8 may not necessarily be provided, but in this case, when the cover 3 and the locking cylinder 4 are driven into the container body 2 from above, the protection of the breakage portion 20 is achieved. It is preferable to provide them.

The horizontal position of the top wall 10 corresponds to the first engagement portion 7.
Either the inner surface, the inner surface of the second engaging portion 9 or the inner surface of the upper end of the body 5 may be used.

The lid 3 has an inclined wall 13 extending inward from an upper end edge of the cylindrical peripheral wall 12, a horizontal top wall 14 extending at a lower end edge of the inclined wall 13, and a top wall 14. 14 From the back center,
On the lower outer periphery, a locking projection 16 having a ridge 15 is provided vertically. Then, a ridge 17 provided on the inner surface of the peripheral wall 12 is engaged with a concave groove 18 provided on the outer periphery of the second engaging portion 9, and the top wall 14 is rotatably pressed against the upper surface of the container body top wall 10. It is configured so that In order to bring the top wall 14 into pressure contact, for example, in the fitting state of the peripheral wall 12, the lower edge of the inclined wall 13 and the position of the lower surface of the top wall 14 are respectively slightly lower than the upper surface of the container body top wall 10. What is necessary is to set the positional relationship of. As a means for fitting the peripheral wall 12 to the second engaging portion 9, a concave groove may be provided in the peripheral wall, and a ridge may be provided in the second engaging portion.

The locking projection 16 is forcibly fitted into a circular through hole 19 formed in the center of the top wall 10 of the container body.
15 The upper surface is engaged with the periphery of the through hole 19 on the back surface of the container body top wall 10 to be rotatably locked, and in addition to the pressure contact of the top wall 14, both top walls
It is configured so that 10 and 14 do not separate.

The outer periphery of the cover peripheral wall 12 is knurled to prevent slippage.

The locking cylinder 4 is formed by integral molding of a synthetic resin together with the lid 3 and has a cylindrical shape in which the inner edge of the upper edge is integrally connected to the outer edge of the lower edge of the lid peripheral wall 12 via a thin break portion 20. And is fitted around the outer periphery of the first engagement portion 7.
A large number of circumferential ridges 21 are circumferentially provided on the inner surface of the locking cylinder 4, and are respectively engaged with the vertical ridges 22 circumferentially provided on the outer periphery of the first engaging portion 7. The first engaging portion 7 is fitted so that it can be fitted from above and cannot rotate.

A part of the locking cylinder 4 is formed with a kerf-shaped spaced part 23, which projects outwardly from a side edge of one end of the spaced part 23 and then extends along the first engagement part. An arcuate plate-shaped finger hook portion 24 extending to the other end of the separation portion 23 is integrally formed. By grasping the finger hook portion 24 and pulling it laterally, the locking cylinder 4 can be easily cut and removed. Make up.

Although not shown, the locking cylinder 4 can be cut and removed by simply providing a thin-walled cut portion for vertically cutting the locking cylinder 4 or projecting downward from a part of the lower edge of the locking cylinder 4. The piece may be protruded, and a break may be formed to vertically cut the locking cylinder from one of the protruding piece base ends.

At the eccentric positions of the container top wall 10 and the lid top wall 14, through holes 25 and 26 are provided at positions that can be overlapped with each other when the lid 3 is rotated. are doing. Therefore, if the lid 3 is rotated by a predetermined angle after cutting and removing the locking cylinder 4, the through-holes 25 and 26 are overlapped so that the contents of the container 2 can be swung. ing.

When the contents are filled in the container 1 constructed as described above, for example, the contents are filled in a state where the bottom cover 11 of the container 2 to which the lid 3 and the locking cylinder 4 are fitted and fixed is removed. I do.

[0027]

As described above, the container of the present invention can prevent the rotation of the lid before opening by the function of the locking cylinder, and can prevent the opening of the swing-out hole. Since they are integrally formed, they do not require extra costs such as shrink wrapping and band-shaped seals as in conventional products, and are convenient in manufacturing.

Further, unlike a sealing material such as paper, there is no possibility that the broken portion may be damaged by an impact or the like. In addition, the broken portion is broken and the locking cylinder is removed, so that the seal can be easily opened. And so on. In particular, in the case where a cut groove-shaped separation portion is formed in a part of the locking cylinder and a finger hook portion is formed therein, the locking cylinder can be removed more easily.

Further, since the top wall of the lid is slidably pressed against the top wall of the container, and the central portion between the top walls is abutted and locked by the locking projection, the lid can be repeatedly mounted. Even if the rotation is performed, it is possible to prevent a gap from being formed between the top walls as much as possible, and to maintain good airtightness for a long period of time.
