Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a metal container whose lid and bottom can be separated.

This type of metal container is generally used for example
As shown in Fig. 3 of Publication No. 54-28214, the lid part 1 and the bottom part 2 have a relationship, and the lid part 1 is covered from above the open part of the bottom part 2, and the side surfaces are partially double. Many of them are attached to form a structure. In this case, in order to reliably and easily fit the lid 1 and the bottom 2 together, an appropriate value is required as the fitting tolerance between the inner diameter of the lid 1 and the outer diameter of the bottom 2. Further, a curled portion 3 that swells outward is formed on the edge of the lid portion 1, and if necessary, a ridge 4 or a step portion that serves as a stopper for the lid portion 1 is formed on the peripheral wall of the bottom portion 2, and these curls are formed. Part 3, ridge 4, etc. are lid part 1,
It will protrude outward from the peripheral wall surface of the bottom part 2,
There are also problems with the lack of sophistication in terms of design.

The purpose of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems, to achieve good fitting between the bottom and the lid by means of a locking member provided inside the bottom, and to provide a locking member that protrudes outward from the peripheral wall surface of the lid and the bottom. Our goal is to provide a metal container with no parts and an excellent design.
A metal device in which a lid and a bottom are separated, a curled portion is formed by rounding the edges inward on the lid and the bottom, and the curled portions of the lid and the bottom are butted against each other and closed. In the container, the upper edge of a flat plate-shaped locking member made of synthetic resin having a storage section is fitted into the bottom by locking the upper edge of the locking member to the curled portion of the bottom; It is characterized in that a plurality of locking pieces protrude upward for engaging with the curled portion of the lid, and the surfaces of the locking pieces that contact the curled portion of the lid are inclined outward. .

The present invention will be explained in detail below based on illustrated embodiments.

The drawings show an embodiment in which the metal container according to the present invention is used as a pencil case. Lid part 1
0. The bottom portion 11 is formed of a metal plate and can be separated from each other. Lid part 1
The edges of the bottom part 11 and the bottom part 11 have the same shape, and each of these edges forms curled parts 12 and 13 that are roundly curved inward, as shown in the cross-sectional view of FIG.
The lid part 10 and the bottom part 11 are closed so that these curled parts 12 and 13 are butted against each other. Here, on both ends of the bottom part 11, there are a plurality of locking pieces 14 that engage with the curled part 12 of the lid part 10 and protrude upwards, and a synthetic resin material that has storage parts for erasers, clips, etc. Flat plate-shaped locking members 15 and 16 are attached. These locking members 15, 16 are installed by pushing the locking members 15, 16 into the bottom 11, and engaging the edges of the locking members 15, 16 with the curled portion 13 of the bottom 11 as shown in FIG. This is done by combining the Further, the locking piece 14 is slightly bulged out with an inclination toward the outside, and is adapted to press against the curled portion 12 of the lid portion 10 from the inside.

Since the embodiment of the present invention has the above-described configuration, when the lid part 10 and the bottom part 11 are closed together, the locking piece 14 engages with the curled part 12 of the lid part 10 while pressing it from the inside, so that it becomes elastic. A good fit is achieved, and the lid part 10 and the bottom part 1 are connected through the locking piece 14.
1, the lock is definitely established. In this case, the locking action is mainly exerted by the elasticity of the curled portion 12 and the elastic force of the locking piece 14. This fit occurs completely within the container, with no ridges or steps projecting to the outside, resulting in a container of extremely simple design. Moreover, in order to remove the lid part 10 from the bottom part 11, it is sufficient to press the bottom part 11 and lightly pull up the lid part 10.

In the embodiment, two locking members 15, 16
However, one plate-shaped locking member was attached to the bottom 11.
In some cases, it is sufficient to provide at least one locking piece 14 on each side.

Furthermore, it is preferable that the locking members 15 and 16 be used for other purposes as well, as shown in the embodiments. For example, when the container is used as a memo holder, a memo sheet may be tightly attached to the locking member, or a notebook pencil may be stored therein.

As explained above, the metal container according to the present invention has a flat peripheral wall surface and a simple design by attaching a locking member with a simple structure to the bottom and providing a locking piece to this locking member. For example, it is possible to draw a continuous pattern from the lid to the bottom, and the lid and the bottom can fit together elastically well. Another advantage is that the container can be constructed using exactly the same material for the lid and the bottom.

[Brief explanation of drawings]

Drawings 1 and 2 show one embodiment of the metal container according to the present invention, FIG. 1 is a perspective view thereof, FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view, and FIG. 3 is a conventional metal container. FIG. 10 is a lid part, 11 is a bottom part, 12 and 13 are curled parts, 14 is a locking piece, and 15 and 16 are locking members.

Claims (1)

[Claims for Utility Model Registration] 1. A lid part and a bottom part are separated, a curl part is formed in the lid part and the bottom part by rounding their edges inward, and the curl part between the lid part and the bottom part is formed. In a metal container that is closed by butting the parts against each other, the upper edge of the flat plate-shaped locking member made of synthetic resin and having a storage part is locked to the curled part of the bottom, so that the locking member is inserted into the bottom. and a plurality of locking pieces for engaging with the curled portion of the lid portion are protruded upward from the locking member, and surfaces of the locking pieces in contact with the curled portion of the lid portion are inclined outward. A metal container characterized by: 2. The metal container according to claim 1, in which the lid and the bottom are made of the same material.
