Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to a container made of synthetic resin for storing an aromatic substance, and its purpose is to have an extremely simple structure that allows the degree of opening of the container to be easily adjusted. .

The aromatic substance container has the following characteristics: it is easy to open and close the container and adjust the degree of opening, it has a small number of components and the structure of each component is simple, it has a relatively high sealing ability, and it is easy to replace the aromatic substance. It is desired that requirements such as ease of use be satisfied as much as possible.

Although many types of containers have been used in the past, most of them require relatively troublesome operations to open and close, and require special components to house the aromatic substance. The structure is complicated, and since screw connections are used, it is troublesome to replace the aromatic body.

The present invention was devised to eliminate the drawbacks of the conventional examples described above, and includes a cylindrical container with a bottom whose diameter decreases as it goes upward;
It is constructed in combination with a cap body in the shape of a cylindrical cap whose diameter increases as it goes downward, which fits tightly into the container.

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

The present invention consists of a container 1 having a bottomed cylindrical shape with a slightly smaller diameter at the top and a diameter decreasing as it goes upwards, and a container 1 with a bottomed cylindrical shape that fits tightly into this container 1 and has a diameter decreasing as it goes downwards. The cap body 8 has a cylindrical shape with an enlarged top.

The container 1 has a cylindrical wall 2 whose diameter decreases toward the top, and a vertically elongated (multiple (four in the case of the illustrated embodiment)) notches 3 from the upper end to the vicinity of the lower end. is provided along the circumferential direction to form a vertically elongated cylindrical wall piece 2',
A reinforcing wall piece 4 whose outer end protrudes inwardly from the cylindrical wall piece 2' and has a height approximately equal to that of the cylindrical wall 2 is erected from above the bottom plate 5. A projecting piece 6 is provided near the wall piece 2', and an engaging strip 7 is provided along the circumferential direction at the lower end of the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical wall 2.

The reinforcing wall piece 4 is provided corresponding to each cylindrical wall piece 2', and as shown in FIG. They are arranged at both ends of each cylindrical wall piece 2' to mechanically reinforce the vertically elongated cylindrical wall piece 2', and to keep the aromatic body 15 housed in the container 1 in a stable posture. It also serves as a holding part.

On the other hand, the cap body 8 is attached to a circumferential wall 9 which is fitted and assembled in a crown shape with its inner circumferential surface in close contact with the outer circumferential surface of the cylindrical wall 2, at a portion opposite to the cylindrical wall piece 2' of the container 1. Then, a large number of windows 10 having a width smaller than the cylindrical wall piece 2' are opened, and each window has an outer diameter smaller than the inner diameter of the cylindrical wall 2 of the container 1. A short cylindrical body having an outer diameter smaller than the virtual circle formed by the upper end of the cylindrical wall piece 2' is hung down to form the engagement tube 12, and the outer peripheral surface of the engagement tube 12 has the above-mentioned A plurality of locking pieces 1 that lock onto the projecting piece 6 in the circumferential direction at a location where the window 10 is located opposite to the cylinder wall piece 2' and at a location opposite to the notch 3.
3, and an engaging groove 14 that engages with the engaging strip 7 is provided around the lower end of the inner circumferential surface of the peripheral wall 9.

By locking the locking piece 13 with the projecting piece 6,
This is to allow the user to intuitively sense the rotational position of the cap body 8 relative to the container 1, and therefore the locking between the locking piece 13 and the protruding piece 6 is weak and cannot be easily overcome. It is to the extent that it is possible.

As described above, the locking piece 13 is attached to the window 10.
When the projecting piece 6 reaches a position opposite to the cylindrical wall piece 2' and is closed by the cylindrical wall piece 2' in the illustrated example, the projecting piece 6
It is designed to be locked.

Therefore, in the illustrated embodiment, only one of the pair of reinforcing wall pieces 4 of each cylindrical wall piece 2' is provided with protruding pieces 6, and these protruding pieces 6 are arranged at equal intervals, and the locking pieces 1
3 are also arranged at equal intervals.

As described above, the container according to the present invention is constructed by combining the cylindrical container 1 whose diameter decreases upwardly and the cap body 8. The cylindrical wall 2 of the container 1, In particular, it is desirable that the cylindrical wall piece 2' be formed relatively thin.

This is because when the cylindrical wall 2 of the container 1 is inserted into the peripheral wall 9 of the cap body 8 to the fitting limit (the position where the engaging strip 7 engages with the engaging groove 14), the cylindrical wall 2 is inserted into the peripheral wall 9. Fit the cylinder wall piece 2' so that it fits slightly tightly.
This is because the container is brought into tight elastic contact with the inner circumferential surface of the peripheral wall 9, thereby increasing the degree of sealing in the closed state of the container.

In addition, the shape and structure of the aromatic body 15 to be stored are as follows:
Although not particularly limited, the embodiment of the aromatic body 15 shown in FIG. are positioned parallel to each other, and a connecting portion 15b is connected between the lower ends of both main body portions 15a, 15a.
It has a connected structure.

In the case of the embodiment of the aromatic body 15 shown in FIG. 4, as shown in FIG.
Two reinforcing wall pieces 6, 6 located opposite between the side edges of
It is inserted and assembled from above the container 1 so that the container 1 is located.

In the case of the illustrated embodiment, the central portion of the bottom plate 5 of the container 1 is assembled to the container 1.

The connecting portion 15b of the aromatic body 15 having the structure shown in FIG. 4 bulges downward to form a recess so that the aromatic body 15 can be stably attached to the container 1 at the inserted position.

Further, among the lower end of the outer peripheral surface of the cylinder wall 2 of the container 1,
Directly below the engagement strip 7, a stepped portion is formed with which the lower end of the assembled cap body 8 comes into contact, and the portion of the cylinder wall 2 that is lower than this stepped portion is connected to the other cylinder wall 2. The diameter is larger than that of the stepped portion by the width of the stepped portion to form the leg portion of the container 1.

In this way, by forming a stepped portion on the lower end of the outer circumferential surface of the cylinder wall 2, with which the lower end surface of the cap body 8 to be assembled comes into contact, it becomes easy to set the assembly limit of the cap body 8 to the container 1, and The overall appearance of the container can be made clear.

Furthermore, as mentioned above, it is desirable to form the cylinder wall 2 relatively thinly, but when the cylinder wall 2 is formed thinly in this way, the taper angle of the cylinder wall 2 is adjusted to the taper angle of the peripheral wall 9. By setting the cylinder wall piece 2' to be smaller than the angle and configuring the cylinder wall piece 2' to fit tightly into the peripheral wall 9, the cylinder wall piece 2' is formed with a wall thickness that can be elastically deformed. Piece 2'
comes into closer elastic contact with the inner peripheral surface of the peripheral wall 9,
Thereby, the degree of sealing of the container can be further improved.

Since the container according to the present invention has the above-described structure, the container 1 and the cap 8 can be assembled by simple fitting, and the container can be opened and closed by a slight relative change between the container 1 and the cap 8. Achieved by rotation.

Further, the aromatic body 15 can be stored by simply inserting the aromatic body 15 into the container 1 from above using the reinforcing wall piece 6.

As described above, the container according to the present invention is constructed by combining the container 1 and the cap 8 with a cylindrical body as the standard structure, and therefore has an extremely simple structure and is easy to assemble and use, as well as the aromatic body 15. It is extremely easy to assemble.

Furthermore, since the notch 3 and the window 10 are formed in the tapered cylindrical wall 2 and peripheral wall 9, the container has an extremely high degree of sealing, thereby allowing the aromatic body 15 to be used efficiently. be able to.

Furthermore, since the closed state and fully open state of the container can be easily detected by the locking between the protruding piece 6 and the locking piece 11, the container can be opened and closed without observing the positional relationship between the window 10 and the notch 3. operations can be performed.

As is clear from the above description, the aromatic substance container according to the present invention is composed of only two components, the container 1 and the cap 8, and the container 1 and the cap 8 are based on a cylindrical body. Since it has an extremely simple shape, it has a simple structure and is easy to manufacture, and the assembly and opening/closing operations of the aromatic body 15 are extremely easy, and a relatively high sealing effect can be obtained. It has many beneficial effects.
