Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a pickle container used primarily for making pickles at home.

[Background of the idea]

This type of pickle container has a lid covering the top opening of the container, a handle connected to a pressing mechanism inside the container is attached to the center of the lid, and the handle is rotated to press the pressing plate using a screw mechanism. Many of them have a structure that presses the pickle ingredients by lowering the plate, but a two-stage screw type is provided in order to increase the stroke of the vertical movement of the press plate in a compact press mechanism.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, as a pressing mechanism for such a two-stage screw type pickle container, as shown in FIG. A handle 5 that penetrates the sleeve 4 and has a female threaded sleeve 6 connected from the upper end of the sleeve 4 to the lower part.
A threaded groove 7 is provided in the lower part of the female threaded sleeve 6, and a threaded pipe 10 having threaded grooves 8 and 9 on the inner and outer peripheries is inserted and screwed into the female threaded sleeve 6. The threaded pipe 10 has a threaded groove 11 on its outer periphery.
A screw ring 12 is inserted and screwed together, and a press rod 14 erected from the center of the press plate 13 is slidably inserted into the screw ring 12. A configuration is disclosed in which a spring 15 for pressing the pressing plate 13 downward is passed between the two (Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 55-37029 and Publication Utility Model No. 57-37994).

In the above configuration, when the female threaded sleeve 6 is rotated in a predetermined direction by the handle 5, the threaded pipe 10
starts rotating together with the female threaded sleeve 6, and due to this rotation of the threaded pipe 10, the threaded ring 12
moves down inside the threaded pipe 10 together with the pressing plate 13, and when the threaded ring 12 reaches the lowest point of the threaded pipe 10, the rotation of the threaded pipe 10 is stopped, and the threaded pipe 10 is now pushed into the internally threaded sleeve 6. As it rotates, it descends inside the female threaded sleeve 6 together with the threaded ring 12 and the press plate 13. Then, spring 1 pickles raw materials in container 1
5. Press with elasticity.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

In the above-mentioned conventional pickle container, the top surface of the pickle ingredients filled in the container is naturally not horizontal but has unevenness or an inclination, so the pressure reaction force exerted on the pressing mechanism is not perpendicular to the pressing mechanism. ,
As a result, an external prying force is applied to the pressing mechanism. However, in the above-mentioned conventional pickle container, the connection style of the handle 5, female threaded sleeve 6, threaded pipe 10, and threaded ring 12 is fixed, and external force cannot be absorbed and dispersed, resulting in stress concentration in any part. Easily damaged.

[Means for solving problems]

The present invention, as a means to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, includes a lid 3A attached to the top opening 2A of the container 1A, a sleeve 7A pierced through approximately the center of the lid 3A, and attached to the bottom surface. A handle 11A having a mating member 13A hanging thereon is rotatably fitted from the upper end of the sleeve 7A, and a rotary sleeve 15A having a thread 16A on the inner surface is rotatably fitted from the lower end of the sleeve 7A. An engaging stepped portion 20A that engages with the engaging member 13A of the handle 11A is formed on the outer periphery of the sleeve 15A.
A is inserted and screwed into the threaded pipe 23A, and a threaded ring 27A having a thread groove 28A on the outer periphery is inserted and threaded into the threaded pipe 23A. The rod 33A is fitted in a state where mutual rotation is restricted, and the screw ring 27A and the pressing plate 32
A pickle container is provided with a spring 36A interposed between the spring 36A and the pressure plate 32A to press the pressure plate 32A downward.

[Effect]

In the above configuration, the connection between the rotating sleeve, threaded pipe, and threaded ring is fixed, but there is some play in the connection between the pressing rod of the pressing plate and the threaded ring, and the handle and the rotating sleeve in addition to the axial direction. . Then, when the rotating sleeve is rotated in a predetermined direction by the handle, the threaded pipe starts rotating together with the rotating sleeve, and as the threaded pipe rotates, the threaded ring moves down inside the threaded pipe together with the pressing plate, and the threaded ring When the screw reaches the bottom of the threaded pipe, the rotation of the threaded pipe is stopped, and the threaded pipe moves down inside the rotating sleeve together with the threaded ring and the pressing plate due to the rotation of the rotating sleeve, and is pressed by the elasticity of the spring. The pickle ingredients in the container are pressed by the plate. When the pressing reaction force generated at this time is applied to the pressing mechanism,
Even if the pressing reaction force has a prying component, the pressing reaction force is absorbed and dispersed by play between the pressing rod of the pressing plate and the screw ring, and between the handle and the rotating sleeve.

[Effect of idea]

Therefore, the pickle container of the present invention is not easily damaged and has great durability. In addition, when general-purpose resin is used for each part, galling occurs between rotating members, but in this invention, as mentioned above, the lid and the pressing mechanism are separate members, so the material of the lid Separately, by selecting an engineering plastic resin such as ABS, polyacetal, or nylon as the material for the pressing mechanism, for example, the sleeve 7A, the galling phenomenon can be prevented at low cost.
