Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] "Industrial Application Field" The present invention relates to a double container in which a basket body with a handle is housed within the container body.

``Prior Art'' In general, this type of double container, in which a basket body with a handle is housed within a container body, is used to store, for example, items that require draining.

By the way, when cleaning dentures, for example,
The dentures are stored in a regular container and a special chemical for denture cleaning is put in there to wash the dentures, but if it is a regular container that is not a double container,
Some people complained that they had to take out their dentures directly from the container with their fingers and rinse them with water.

``Problems that the invention attempts to solve'' In order to solve these dissatisfaction, there is a need to develop a double container, but the conventional double container has a basket with a handle that is housed inside. However, since the handle and the basket body are made of separate members, there is a problem in that it is unsatisfactory in terms of cost. Further, when the basket body is housed in the container body, a storage space for the handle of the basket body is required, which causes the problem that the double container becomes large.

The object of the present invention is to effectively solve these problems, and to provide a double container which can be made compact by eliminating unnecessary storage space for the handle of the basket body, and which can reduce costs.

"Means for Solving the Problems" The present invention provides a lid that is vertically rotatable via a thin hinge at the upper end of a cylindrical container body with a bottom.
In the double container in which a cage body with drainage properties is accommodated in the container body, a locking piece having a fitting hole at one of the free ends of the container body and the lid body is vertically rotated via a thin hinge. a fitting convex portion that is movably provided, and has a protrusion that fits into the fitting hole of the locking piece protrudingly provided on the other side, and that fits into the locking piece and the protrusion in a convex-concave manner when the locking piece and the protrusion are engaged; and a fitting recess are respectively provided, and a notch is formed at the upper end of the container body, one step lower than the upper end, and both ends of the handle for holding the basket body by hanging the fingertips etc. thereon are attached via thin hinges. It is characterized in that it is provided to be vertically rotatable, and that the handle is fitted into a notch at the upper end of the container body when the basket body is accommodated.

``Operation'' To take out the basket from inside the container body, all you have to do is open the lid and pick up the handle exposed in the notch of the container body, and conversely, to put the basket inside the container body. It is sufficient to insert the handle into the upper opening of the container body with the handle pinched, fit the handle into the notch, close the lid, and temporarily secure it with the locking piece.

"Embodiment" An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. In these figures, reference numeral 1 is a cylindrical container body with a bottom, numeral 2 is a lid body for opening and closing the container body, and numeral 3 is a cylindrical basket body with a bottom, which is accommodated in the container body 1. These reference numerals 1 to 3 constitute the main members of this embodiment, and these are made of appropriate synthetic resin.

The container body 1 and the lid 2 are vertically rotatably connected to each other by a thin hinge 4 integrally formed, and have a basic structure in which they are temporarily fixed by a mouthpiece 5, which will be described later.

Further, a thin hinge 4 is provided at the upper end of the container body 1.
A notch 6 located on the opposite side and extending one step below the upper end is formed over half the circumference of the container body 1, and a protrusion 7 is provided in the center of the notch 6. A fitting recess 8 is formed in the lower part of the portion 7 .

On the other hand, a bulge 9 is provided at the free end of the lid 2 in a manner connected to the protrusion 7 of the container body 1, and a locking piece 1 is connected to the bulge 9 via a thin hinge 10.
1 is provided to be vertically rotatable, and a fitting hole 12 that fits into the protrusion 7 is formed at a position facing the protrusion 7 of the locking piece 11 so as to communicate with the front and back sides of the locking piece 11. has been done. Moreover, this locking piece 11 has
When the protrusion 7 is fitted into the fitting hole 12, the fitting recess 8
A fitting convex portion 13 that fits into the fitting hole 12 is provided to protrude into the fitting hole 12 . And these protrusions 7
The fitting concave portion 8 and the fitting convex portion 13 of the locking piece 11 constitute a cap portion 5 for temporarily fixing the lid 2 to the container body 1.

Now, to explain the cage body 3, a drainage hole 14 is formed extending along the radial direction of the cage body 3 from the bottom plate to the side plate to prevent water from accumulating inside. Further, on the upper part of the car body 3, a curved handle 15 having an inner diameter one size larger than the outer diameter is attached to the upper part of the car body 3.
The cage body 3 is vertically rotatably connected via a thin hinge 16 that is integral with the cage body 3, so that the basket body 3 can be held by hanging the fingertips or the like. This handle 15 is the second
As shown in the figure, when the cage body 3 is in the accommodated state,
The handle 15 is configured to be fitted into the notch 6 of the container body 1, and furthermore, the outer peripheral surface of the handle 15 is formed flush with the outer surface of the container body 1.

Next, the operation of this embodiment configured as described above will be explained.

In order to manufacture this double container (i.e. container body 1 and basket body 3) in the state shown in FIG.
For example, in the case of the container body 1, cavities such as the container body 1, the lid body 2, the thin hinge 4, and the locking piece 11 are formed between the cavity and the core, and an appropriate synthetic resin is injected into these cavities. These may be integrally molded. The same applies to the cage body 3, and in this case, cavities such as the cage body 3, the thin hinge 16, the handle 15, etc. may be formed between the cavity and the core, and injection molding may be performed.

Manufacturing the container body 1 and the cage body 3 is a simple operation of injecting resin into a mold, and no special technology or equipment is required for molding them, so they can be molded in large quantities. It is possible to reduce costs.

Next, to explain the case of using this double container, as shown in FIG. Just lift it up and insert it into the container body 1. Then, the handle 15 is fitted into the notch 6 of the container body 1, the lid body 2 is closed, and the locking piece 11 is rotated to fit the fitting protrusion 13 into the fitting recess 8. It will be in the closed state as shown in the figure. In this state, handle 1
5 is exposed on the container body 1, so if this handle 15 is molded with resin of a different color from the container body, a straight line will be formed here, which will become a point in the design. There are advantages such as Also, a handle 1 for taking out the cage body 3
5 is fitted into the notch 6, there is no need to provide a space inside the container body 1 to accommodate the handle 15, and the container body 1 can be made more compact.

On the other hand, the operation of taking out the cage body 3 from the container body 1 is to place the fingertip or the like on the locking piece 11 and engage the fitting protrusion 13.
What is necessary is to remove the concave-convex fitting between the fitting concave portion 8 and the fitting recess 8, open the lid body 2, and pull it out using the handle 15.

However, in the cage body 3 of such a double container,
For example, if you put dentures in there and wash the dentures by pouring water and chemicals for denture cleaning into the container body 1, you can take out the dentures after cleaning by holding the handle 15, and the basket body 3 can be drained. Since water can also be drained through the holes 14, the dentures can be rinsed together with the cage body 3. Therefore, there is an effect that hands and fingers are not soiled when cleaning dentures.

FIG. 3 shows a modification of the cage body 3 housed in the container body 1, in which a protrusion 20 is provided protrudingly from the upper end of the cage body 3, and the cage body 3 is placed one step higher through the protrusion 20. A handle 15 is integrally provided via a thin hinge 16.

Note that the cage body 3 having such a configuration can also have the same effects as the previous example.

"Effects of the Invention" As explained above, according to the present invention, the following excellent effects can be achieved.

(a) The container main body, the lid body, the basket body and the handle can be integrally molded by injection molding, thereby reducing costs.

(b) Because the handle of the basket body is exposed to the exterior of the container body,
This becomes a design point and can improve the appearance.

(c) Since the basket body is stored with the handle of the basket body fitted into the notch formed at the upper end of the container body, the space for storing the handle can be reduced, making the double container compact. It is possible to aim for
