The solid material is cut by a corner part formed by an upper face of a partition plate 12 and an inner face located on a fastening side along a circumferential direction among inner faces opposed to each other in a circumferential direction of a through-hole 16 by the fact that the solid material slides on an upper face of the partition plate. A take-out hole 15 capable of taking out a cut material scraped out from the solid material out of the body cylinder, that is open in a radial direction is formed at a lower portion located below the partition plate.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1

Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a machined container. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, there has been known a scraping container, such as that shown in Patent Document 1 below, which includes a storage section in which solid material is stored and a topped cylindrical rotating lid rotatably attached to the storage section, with the top wall of the rotating lid provided with cutting means for cutting the solid material as the lid rotates relative to the storage section, and a discharge hole for discharging the cuttings scraped from the solid material to the top surface. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Patent Publication No. 2021-17249 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] In this scraping container, the cuttings scraped from the solid material are discharged onto the upper surface of the top wall of the rotating lid. Therefore, when used in an environment where water is likely to adhere, such as when the solid material is soap, the cuttings tend to stick to the scraping container due to the water, and there was room for improvement in terms of ease of handling.

[0005] The present invention provides a machined container that can be easily handled. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] A machined container according to one aspect of the present invention includes a main body tube having a bottom and extending in a vertical direction; a partition plate fixed within the main body tube to vertically divide the interior of the main body tube; a ring body rotatably fitted within an upper portion of the main body tube above the partition plate and having a solid object fixed therein; and a cap having a pressing portion capable of pressing down the solid object and moving downward as the cap rotates circumferentially toward the tightening side relative to the main body tube, wherein the cap and the ring body are separately formed with first and second restricting portions that engage with each other and restrict relative rotation in the circumferential direction, A through hole is formed in the partition plate in the vertical direction, and when the cap is rotated toward the tightening side along the circumferential direction relative to the main body tube, the ring body and the solid material rotate together, and the solid material slides along the upper surface of the partition plate, causing the solid material to be cut by the corner formed by the inner surface located on the tightening side along the circumferential direction of the inner surfaces facing each other in the through hole and the upper surface of the partition plate, and a removal hole is formed in the lower part of the main body tube, located below the partition plate, that opens radially and allows the cuttings cut out of the solid material to be removed.

[0007] When the cap is rotated toward the tightening side along the circumferential direction relative to the main tube, the ring body and the solid material rotate together, and the solid material slides along the upper surface of the partition plate, and the solid material is cut by the corner formed by the inner surface located on the tightening side along the circumferential direction of the inner surfaces facing each other in the through hole and the upper surface of the partition plate.The cut material then falls through the through hole and is stored in the lower part of the main tube located below the partition plate (hereinafter referred to as the storage space). This allows the cutting material to be stored in the storage space of the main tube, which is not exposed to the outside of the cutting container, making it possible to prevent the cutting material from sticking to the cutting container due to water, etc., and providing excellent ease of handling.

[0008] An upper surface of the bottom wall of the main body tube may be connected without a step to a lower end of an inner circumferential surface of the extraction hole.

[0009] The upper surface of the bottom wall of the main body tube is connected without any steps to the lower end of the inner surface of the removal hole, so that the cutting material stored in the storage space of the main body tube can be easily removed and water that has entered the storage space of the main body tube can be easily drained.

[0010] An upper surface of the bottom wall of the main body tube may extend downward toward a lower end of an inner circumferential surface of the extraction hole.

[0011] Since the upper surface of the bottom wall of the main body tube extends downward toward the lower end of the inner surface of the removal hole, cuttings that fall into the storage space of the main body tube through the through hole tend to gather toward the removal hole, making it easy to remove the cuttings. [Effects of the Invention]

[0012] According to the above aspect of the present invention, excellent handleability can be achieved. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0013] [Figure 1] FIG. 1 is a vertical cross-sectional view of a machined container shown as one embodiment. [Figure 2] FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line II-II in FIG. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0014] Hereinafter, a machined container according to one embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIG. 1, the machined container 1 includes a main body tube 11, a partition plate 12, a ring body 13, and a cap . The main body tube 11 is formed in a cylindrical shape with a bottom, and the ring body 13 is formed in a cylindrical shape, and the main body tube 11 and the ring body 13 are arranged coaxially on a common axis.

[0015] Hereinafter, this common axis will be referred to as the container axis O, the side of the cap 14 along the container axis O will be referred to as the upper side, the side of the bottom wall 18 of the main body tube 11 along the container axis O will be referred to as the lower side, and the direction along the container axis O will be referred to as the up-down direction. When viewed from the up-down direction, the direction intersecting the container axis O will be referred to as the radial direction, and the direction going around the container axis O will be referred to as the circumferential direction.

[0016] A male thread portion is formed at the upper end of the peripheral wall of the main body tube 11. A partition plate 12 is fixed within the peripheral wall of the main body tube 11. A radially opening extraction hole 15 is formed in a lower portion of the peripheral wall of the main body tube 11, located below the partition plate 12, through which a cutting material cut out from a solid object X (described later) can be extracted. The extraction hole 15 is formed over the entire vertical length of the lower portion of the peripheral wall of the main body tube 11. The extraction hole 15 has a rectangular shape that is elongated in the circumferential direction when viewed from the front from the outside in the radial direction. The upper surface of the bottom wall 18 of the main body tube 11 is seamlessly connected to the lower end of the inner peripheral surface of the extraction hole 15. The upper surface of the bottom wall 18 of the main body tube 11 extends downward as it approaches the lower end of the inner peripheral surface of the extraction hole 15.

[0017] The ring body 13 is rotatably fitted into an upper portion of the peripheral wall of the main body tube 11, which is located above the partition plate 12. A solid object X, such as soap, is fixed inside the ring body 13. The ring body 13 is provided in the main body tube 11 in a state where its movement in the vertical direction is restricted. The lower end opening edge of the ring body 13 abuts against or is close to the upper surface of the partition plate 12.

[0018] The cap 14 has a push-down portion 17 that can push down the solid object X, and moves downward as the cap 14 rotates toward the fastening side A along the circumferential direction relative to the main body tube 11. The cap 14 is detachably attached to the main body tube 11. The cap 14 has a cap body 21 that is tubular with a top and the push-down portion 17 that is tubular with a bottom.

[0019] An internal thread is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the peripheral wall of the cap body 21, which threads onto an external thread formed on the peripheral wall of the main body tube 11. A first cylindrical portion 21a and a second cylindrical portion 21b are formed on the top wall of the cap body 21. The first cylindrical portion 21a and the second cylindrical portion 21b each extend downward and are arranged coaxially with the container axis O. The second cylindrical portion 21b has a larger diameter than the first cylindrical portion 21a but a smaller diameter than the ring body 13. As the cap 14 moves downward relative to the main body tube 11, the first cylindrical portion 21a and the second cylindrical portion 21b enter the ring body 13.

[0020] The second cylindrical portion 21b is fitted and fixed within the peripheral wall of the push-down portion 17. As the cap 14 moves downward relative to the main body cylinder 11, the peripheral wall of the push-down portion 17 enters the ring body 13. A first restricting portion 17a and a second restricting portion 13a are formed on the outer peripheral surface of the peripheral wall of the push-down portion 17 and the inner peripheral surface of the ring body 13, respectively, and engage with each other to restrict relative rotation in the circumferential direction. The first restricting portion 17a and the second restricting portion 13a are each formed in the shape of a protrusion extending in the vertical direction, and multiple portions are provided at intervals in the circumferential direction. A third cylindrical portion 17b extending upward is formed on the bottom wall of the push-down portion 17. The third cylindrical portion 17b is arranged coaxially with the container axis O. The lower end of the first cylindrical portion 21a is fitted into the upper end of the third cylindrical portion 17b. This restricts downward movement of the push-down portion 17 relative to the cap body 21. The bottom wall of the push-down portion 17 abuts against the upper surface of the solid object X. A plurality of locking protrusions 17c are formed on the lower surface of the bottom wall of the push-down portion 17, which protrude downward and catch on the upper surface of the solid object X to restrict rotational movement of the solid object X.

[0021] The partition plate 12 is formed in a plate shape with its front and back surfaces facing up and down, and is fitted and fixed inside the main body tube 11. The partition plate 12 divides the inside of the main body tube 11 in the up and down direction. A solid X is placed on the upper surface of the partition plate 12. The partition plate 12 has a through hole 16 that passes through in the up and down direction. The through hole 16 is a slit that extends in the radial direction. A plurality of through holes 16 are provided at intervals in the circumferential direction. As shown in Fig. 2, of inner surfaces 16a, 16b facing each other in the circumferential direction of through hole 16, inner surface 16a located on tightening side A along the circumferential direction and the upper surface of partition plate 12 form a corner 23 that is pointed toward loosening side B along the circumferential direction. Opening surface 16c of through hole 16 in the upper surface of partition plate 12 extends upward as it approaches tightening side A along the circumferential direction.

[0022] Next, the operation of the machined container 1 will be described.

[0023] When the cap 14 is rotated circumferentially relative to the main body tube 11 toward the tightening side A, the first restricting portion 17a of the cap 14 and the second restricting portion 13a of the ring body 13 engage with each other, restricting the relative rotation of the cap 14 and the ring body 13 in the circumferential direction, causing the ring body 13 and the solid object X to rotate together. At this time, the cap 14 moves downward relative to the main body tube 11, and the solid object X, while pressed down by the bottom wall of the pressing portion 17, slides on the upper surface of the partition plate 12, and the lower surface of the solid object X is cut by the corner portion 23 of the partition plate 12. The cut pieces of the solid object X fall through the through hole 16 and are stored in a lower portion of the main body tube 11 located below the partition plate 12 (hereinafter referred to as the storage space C). The cut pieces are then removed from the storage space C through the removal hole 15 of the main body tube 11. In the above process, as the amount of solid matter X decreases, the cap 14 moves downward relative to the main body tube 11, so that the remaining amount of solid matter X can be easily grasped.

[0024] When the solid matter X is used up, the cap 14 is rotated toward the loose side B along the circumferential direction relative to the main body tube 11 and removed, and with the inside of the ring body 13 open, new solid matter X is attached inside the ring body 13, and the cap 14 is attached again to the upper end of the main body tube 11.

[0025] As described above, according to the scraping container 1 of this embodiment, the cuttings from the solid material X fall through the through hole 16 and are stored in the storage space C of the main body tube 11, which is not exposed to the outside of the scraping container 1, making it possible to prevent the cuttings from sticking to the scraping container 1 due to water, etc., and providing excellent handleability.

[0026] The upper surface of the bottom wall 18 of the main body tube 11 is connected without any steps to the lower end of the inner surface of the removal hole 15, so that the cutting material stored in the storage space C of the main body tube 11 can be easily removed and water that has entered the storage space C of the main body tube 11 can be easily discharged.

[0027] Since the upper surface of the bottom wall 18 of the main body tube 11 extends downward toward the lower end of the inner peripheral surface of the removal hole 15, the cuttings that fall into the storage space C of the main body tube 11 through the through hole 16 tend to gather toward the removal hole 15, making it easy to remove the cuttings.

[0028] The technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

[0029] The through-hole 16 of the partition plate 12 may have a circular or angular shape when viewed from above and below. The opening surface 16c of the through-hole 16 on the upper surface of the partition plate 12 may extend straight in the circumferential direction. The cap body 21 and the depression portion 17 may be integrally formed.

[0030] In addition, within the scope of the spirit of the present invention, it is possible to replace the components in the above-described embodiments with well-known components as appropriate, and the above-described embodiments and the above-described variations may be combined as appropriate.
