[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2007-222193 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] However, with a container such as that described in Patent Document 1, when the cap is removed, the applicator may fall out and become lost or soiled when the inner lid is opened or closed or the container is moved. Furthermore, providing a dedicated member for holding the applicator on the inner lid or the like makes the structure complicated.

[0005] In view of the above, an object of the present invention is to provide a container that can prevent an applicator from falling off with a simple structure. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The container comprises a container body that stores the contents, an inner lid that closes the mouth of the container body, a cap that is attached to the container body and covers the inner lid from above, and a plate-shaped applicator that is placed between the cap and the inner lid, wherein the inner lid comprises a cover plate that closes the mouth and a ring-shaped peripheral wall that extends upward from the peripheral edge of the cover plate, and the inner surface of the peripheral wall is provided with a recess that is recessed radially outward, and the recess comprises a pressing portion that generates a pressing force that presses the outer periphery of the applicator downward when the applicator, while placed on the cover plate, abuts against the recess. [Effects of the Invention]

[0007] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a container that can prevent an applicator from falling off with a simple structure. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0009] Hereinafter, an embodiment of a container according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0010] [First embodiment] FIG. 1 is a partial cross-sectional view showing a container 10 according to a first embodiment of the present invention. The container 10 comprises a container body 11 for storing the contents (not shown), an inner lid 12 attached to the top of the container body 11, a cap 13 attached to the container body 11 and covering the inner lid 12 from above, and a plate-shaped spatula 14 (applicator) positioned between the cap 13 and the inner lid 12.

[0011] Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view showing a state in which the cap 13 has been removed. Fig. 3 is a plan view showing the inner lid 12 and the spatula 14 from above, with the container body 11 not shown in Fig. 2. Fig. 2 corresponds to the cross section II-II in Fig. 3, showing the container body 11.

[0012] The container body 11 includes a container bottom wall 11a, a cylindrical body portion 11b extending upward from the peripheral edge of the container bottom wall 11a, and a mouth portion 11c. The space surrounded by the container bottom wall 11a and the body 11b is a storage space 11d for storing contents, which are not particularly limited and may be, for example, cream-type cosmetics.

[0013] The mouth portion 11c is cylindrical and extends upward from the upper end of the body portion 11b. A cap engaging portion 11e is provided on the outer periphery of the mouth portion 11c, with which the cap 13 engages. The cap engaging portion 11e is a male thread portion formed on the outer periphery of the mouth portion 11c. 1, the container 10 is shown in an upright position, with the axis 11f of the mouth 11c pointing in the vertical direction. The axis 11f is the center line of the mouth 11c and is arranged coaxially with the axis of the body 11b.

[0014] The cap 13 includes a top wall 13a that covers the inner lid 12 and the mouth 11c from above, a cylindrical cap peripheral wall 13b that extends downward from the peripheral edge of the top wall 13a, an engagement portion 13c provided on the inner periphery of the cap peripheral wall 13b, and a sheet-like sealing member 13d provided on the underside of the top wall 13a. The engagement portion 13c is a female thread that screws into the cap engagement portion 11e of the mouth 11c. The cap 13 can be attached to and detached from the opening 11c by screwing the engagement portion 13c into the cap engagement portion 11e.

[0015] The inner lid 12 is disposed inside the mouth 11c and closes the mouth 11c. The inner lid 12 comprises a disk-shaped cover plate portion 21 that is positioned inside the mouth portion 11c and closes the mouth portion 11c, an annular peripheral wall portion 22 that extends upward from the peripheral edge of the cover plate portion 21, an annular flange portion 23 that extends radially outward from the outer periphery of the upper end portion of the peripheral wall portion 22, a tab 24 provided on the upper surface 21a of the cover plate portion 21, and a protrusion 25 that protrudes upward from the upper surface 21a.

[0016] The inner lid 12 is attached to the mouth 11c by inserting the cylindrical peripheral wall portion 22 into the inner periphery of the upper end portion of the mouth 11c and by bringing the lower surface of the flange portion 23 into contact with the upper surface of the mouth 11c. When cap 13 is attached to mouth portion 11c, seal member 13d of cap 13 is in close contact with flange portion 23 and the upper surface of mouth portion 11c, sealing the inside of cap 13. The lower surface of seal member 13d is the lower surface of cap 13.

[0017] Below the cap 13, an upper space 26 surrounded by the peripheral wall portion 22 is formed between the lower surface of the seal member 13d and the upper surface 21a of the cover plate portion 21. The spatula 14 is stored in the upper space 26. The spatula 14 is an applicator used to scoop out the contents of the storage space 11d or to apply the contents.

[0018] Spatula 14 has a long, thin plate shape. Spatula 14 is stored in storage space 11d with bottom surface 14a of spatula 14 placed on top surface 21a of cover plate portion 21. Bottom surface 14a is the surface in the thickness direction of spatula 14. The thickness of spatula 14 is smaller than the height of peripheral wall portion 22. Spatula 14 has scooping portion 14b at one longitudinal end for scooping contents, and gripping portion 14c at the other end for the user to grip. Scooping portion 14b is formed wider than gripping portion 14c. The outer periphery of the tip of scooping portion 14b and the outer periphery of the tip of gripping portion 14c are formed in an arc shape so as to follow the inner circumferential surface of peripheral wall portion 22 in the plan view of FIG. 3.

[0019] The base end 24a of the tab 24 is provided on the upper surface 21a of the cover plate 21 near the peripheral wall 22. The tab 24 extends radially inward from the base end 24a toward the center of the inner cover 12. The tab 24 uses the base end 24a as a hinge and is rotatable up and down around this hinge. The user can remove the inner cover 12 from the opening 11c by grasping the tab 24 and pulling the inner cover 12. When the cap 13 is attached to the mouth portion 11c as shown in Figure 1, the tab 24 is pressed against the underside of the cap 13 and elastically deformed, and when the cap 13 is removed, it returns to its original position upward as shown in Figure 2.

[0020] The protrusion 25 is provided at the center of the cover plate 21 and is located on the axis 11f. The protrusion 25 is circular in plan view and is formed in a mountain shape that becomes taller toward the center. In detail, the protrusion 25 includes an upward slope 25a that becomes taller toward the center and a flat portion 25b formed in the center.

[0021] Fig. 4 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of the contact portion between spatula 14 and peripheral wall portion 22 in Fig. 2. In Fig. 3, spatula 14 has scooping portion 14b and gripping portion 14c each in contact with peripheral wall portion 22, but Fig. 4 shows the portion where gripping portion 14c contacts peripheral wall portion 22. Because the portion where gripping portion 14c contacts peripheral wall portion 22 is similar to the portion where scooping portion 14b contacts peripheral wall portion 22, the portion where gripping portion 14c contacts peripheral wall portion 22 will be described in detail here. The spatula 14 is held by the inner lid 12 by abutting against the inner circumferential surface of the peripheral wall portion 22 with the lower surface 14 a of the spatula 14 placed on the upper surface 21 a of the lid plate portion 21 .

[0022] 4, a recess 30 is provided on the inner peripheral surface of the peripheral wall portion 22, recessed radially outward of the inner lid 12. The recess 30 is annular and provided around the entire inner peripheral surface of the peripheral wall portion 22. The recess 30 is a concave curved surface formed so that the depth of the recess 30 increases from the upper and lower ends of the recess 30 toward the middle between the top and bottom of the recess 30 . The recess 30 is provided in the lower part of the peripheral wall portion 22, and the lower end of the recess 30 is continuous with the upper surface 21a of the cover plate portion 21. The upper end of the recess 30 is located in the vertical middle part of the peripheral wall portion 22, and is located below the flange portion 23.

[0023] 4, in a cross section of the spatula 14 cut in the thickness direction, the outer periphery of the spatula 14 is a chamfered portion 40 (outer periphery). The chamfered portion 40 is formed around the entire periphery of the spatula 14. At the chamfered portion 40, the thickness of the spatula 14 tapers toward the recess 30 side. More specifically, the chamfered portion 40 is formed in a generally semicircular shape that tapers toward the recessed portion 30. The upper portion of the chamfered portion 40 is an upper inclined surface 40a that slopes downward toward the recessed portion 30. The upper inclined surface 40a is an arc that forms the upper portion of the semicircle. The lower part of the chamfered portion 40 is a lower inclined surface 40b that slopes upward toward the recessed portion 30. The lower inclined surface 40b is an arc that forms the lower part of a semicircle. The provision of the chamfered portion 40 improves the feel of the spatula 14 in the hand.

[0024] The vertical height H of the recess 30 is smaller than the maximum thickness t of the chamfered portion 40 of the spatula 14. Since the spatula 14 is flat, the thickness t is equal to the thickness of the spatula 14. The recess 30 has a pressing portion 30a that comes into contact with the chamfered portion 40 of the spatula 14 when placed on the cover plate portion 21. The pressing portion 30a is provided on the upper portion of the recess 30 and comes into contact with the upper inclined surface 40a.

[0025] 4, the pressing portion 30a has an arc shape that follows the upper inclined surface 40a when viewed in the circumferential direction of the peripheral wall portion 22. The pressing portion 30a is an inclined surface that is inclined radially inward and downward of the peripheral wall portion 22. The pressing portion 30a has a surface facing diagonally downward, and when it comes into contact with the upper inclined surface 40a, it generates a pressing force F that presses the upper inclined surface 40a radially inward and downward. The spatula 14 is pressed against the upper surface 21 a of the cover plate portion 21 by the pressing force F, and is held by the inner cover 12 .

[0026] FIG. 5 is an enlarged view showing the chamfered portion 40 of the spatula 14. As shown in FIG. As shown in Figure 5, when the middle part of the chamfered portion 40 in the thickness direction is set to the 0° position and the upper end of the chamfered portion 40 in the thickness direction is set to the 90° position, the chamfered portion 40 abuts at a position around 26° in Figure 4. The pressing portion 30a abuts on the upper inclined surface 40a of the chamfered portion 40 in the range of 5° to 90°, thereby generating a pressing force F directed radially inward and downward, thereby holding the spatula 14. Furthermore, the pressing portion 30a abuts on the upper inclined surface 40a in the range of 20° to 90°, thereby effectively generating a downward component of the pressing force F, thereby holding the spatula 14. More preferably, the pressing portion 30a abuts on the upper inclined surface 40a in the range of 45° to 90°, thereby generating a large downward component of the pressing force F and effectively holding the spatula 14.

[0027] Here, an example of a procedure for holding the spatula 14 by the inner lid 12 will be described. When the user removes the cap 13 from the state shown in FIG. 1, the spatula 14 placed on the upper surface 21a of the inner lid 12 is exposed upward as shown in FIGS. The user slides the spatula 14 radially outward along the upper surface 21a until the chamfered portion 40 of the scooping portion 14b and the chamfered portion 40 of the gripping portion 14c come into contact with the recess 30. In this state, the upper inclined surface 40a is pressed downward by the pressing force F of the pressing portion 30a, so that the spatula 14 is held by the inner lid 12.

[0028] Furthermore, when moving the container 10 in the state shown in Figure 2, the user can move the container 10 while pressing the spatula 14 against the recess 30 with their finger, thereby moving the container 10 while holding the spatula 14 in place on the inner lid 12. Furthermore, the spatula 14 may abut at any position in the recess 30 as long as the spatula 14 is not in contact with the tab 24, and may be held in the position shown by the imaginary lines in FIG.

[0029] When the upper inclined surface 40a is in contact with the pressing portion 30a, the portion of the recess 30 below the pressing portion 30a is located radially outward from the chamfered portion 40. Therefore, a gap is formed between the recess 30 and the chamfered portion 40 below the pressing portion 30a.

[0030] In the inner lid 12, the pressing force F can be generated by the recess 30, which has a vertical height H that is smaller than the plate thickness t (FIG. 4) of the chamfered portion 40, and therefore it is possible to prevent the height of the peripheral wall portion 22 from increasing due to the provision of the recess 30. Therefore, the vertical height of the inner lid 12 can be made compact, and the capacity of the storage space 11d can be ensured even when the recess 30 is provided.

[0031] Furthermore, for example, when an upper surface 14d (FIG. 4) of the body of the spatula 14 located on the inner side of the chamfered portion 40 is to be pressed from directly above by a recess provided in the peripheral wall portion 22, the depth of this recess must be greater than the radius of the chamfered portion 40 so that it can reach the upper surface 14d, and the height H must be equal to the plate thickness t. In contrast, in this embodiment, the pressing portion 30a presses the upper inclined surface 40a, so the depth and height H of the recess 30 can be made small. Therefore, even when the recess 30 is provided, the strength of the peripheral wall portion 22 can be ensured to be high. Furthermore, if an attempt is made to press the upper surface 14d (FIG. 4) of the body of the spatula 14 from directly above with a recess provided in the peripheral wall portion 22, the upper surface 14d and the recess may be tightly engaged, making it difficult to remove the spatula 14 from the recess. In contrast, in this embodiment, the spatula 14 is held by a pressing force F directed diagonally radially inward and downward, so that even when the spatula 14 is fitted in the recess 30, the spatula 14 can be easily moved radially inward, and the spatula 14 can be easily removed from the recess 30. This makes it easy to remove the spatula 14.

[0032] FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a method for removing the spatula 14. When removing spatula 14 from the state shown in FIG. 3, the user slides spatula 14 along upper surface 21a toward protrusion 25. 6, when spatula 14 comes into contact with upwardly inclined surface 25a of protrusion 25, spatula 14 rises up along upwardly inclined surface 25a. Therefore, the user can grasp spatula 14 that has risen up with the hand h, and can easily remove spatula 14 even if spatula 14 is flat and difficult to grasp.

[0033] As described above, according to the first embodiment to which the present invention is applied, container 10 includes container body 11 for storing contents, inner lid 12 for closing opening 11c of container body 11, cap 13 attached to container body 11 and covering inner lid 12 from above, and plate-shaped spatula 14 disposed between cap 13 and inner lid 12. Inner lid 12 includes cover plate 21 for closing opening 11c and annular peripheral wall 22 extending upward from the peripheral edge of cover plate 21, and peripheral wall 22 has recess 30 recessed radially outward on its inner circumferential surface. Recess 30 includes pressing portion 30a that generates pressing force F that presses chamfered portion 40, which is the outer periphery of spatula 14, downward when spatula 14 placed on cover plate 21 abuts against recess 30. According to this configuration, when the spatula 14 is brought into contact with the inner peripheral surface of the peripheral wall portion 22 of the inner lid 12, the pressing portion 30a provided in the recess 30 on the inner peripheral surface presses the chamfered portion 40 of the spatula 14 downward, thereby holding the spatula 14. Therefore, the spatula 14 can be prevented from falling with a simple structure.

[0034] Additionally, the upper surface of the chamfered portion 40 of the spatula 14 has an upper inclined surface 40a that slopes downward toward the recessed portion 30. When the middle portion of the chamfered portion 40 in the thickness direction is set to the 0° position and the upper end of the chamfered portion 40 in the thickness direction is set to the 90° position, the pressing portion 30a comes into contact with a portion of the chamfered portion 40 in the range of 20° to 90°. With this configuration, the pressing portion 30a contacts the portion of the upper surface of the chamfered portion 40 in the range of 20° to 90°, which decreases in height toward the recessed portion 30, and therefore the upper portion of the chamfered portion 40 can be effectively pressed downward by the pressing portion 30a, thereby ensuring good holding of the spatula 14.

[0035] Furthermore, the upper surface 21a of the cover plate portion 21 is formed with a protrusion 25 having an upwardly inclined surface 25a. According to this configuration, spatula 14 can be lifted from upper surface 21a when spatula 14 is brought into contact with upward slope 25a of protrusion 25. Therefore, spatula 14 can be easily removed from inner lid 12.

[0036] Further, when viewed in the circumferential direction of the peripheral wall portion 22, the pressing portion 30a has an arc shape, and the chamfered portion 40 of the spatula 14 has an arc shape that conforms to the pressing portion 30a. According to this configuration, since the pressing portion 30a and the chamfered portion 40 are arc-shaped, the contact area between the pressing portion 30a and the chamfered portion 40 can be increased, and the spatula 14 can be held effectively.

[0037] Furthermore, the vertical height H of the recess 30 is smaller than the plate thickness t of the chamfered portion 40 . According to this configuration, the vertical height H of the recess 30 is smaller than the plate thickness t of the chamfered portion 40, so the recess 30 has little effect on the strength of the inner lid 12, and there is no need to increase the height of the peripheral wall portion 22 to provide the recess 30. Therefore, even if the spatula 14 is held by the recess 30 of the peripheral wall portion 22, the inner lid 12 can be made compact in the vertical direction.

[0038] [Second embodiment] A second embodiment to which the present invention is applied will be described below with reference to Figures 7 and 8. In this second embodiment, parts configured in the same manner as in the first embodiment are given the same reference numerals and descriptions thereof will be omitted. The second embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that a support protrusion 225 is provided instead of the protrusion 25.

[0039] Fig. 7 is a plan view of the inner lid 212 and the spatula 14 seen from above, with the container body 11 not shown, in the second embodiment. Fig. 8 corresponds to a cross section taken along line VIII-VIII in Fig. 7, showing the container body 11. The inner lid 212 includes a lid plate portion 21, a peripheral wall portion 22, a flange portion 23, a tab 24, and a support protrusion 225 that protrudes upward from an upper surface 21a of the lid plate portion 21.

[0040] The support protrusion 225 is an annular protrusion provided at the center of the cover plate 21, and is circular in plan view. The center of the support protrusion 225 is located on the axis 11f. The support protrusion 225 has an upward slope 225a that becomes higher toward the center, a downward slope 225b that becomes lower from the upper end of the upward slope 225a toward the center, and a flat surface 225c that extends from the lower end of the downward slope 225b to the center of the cover plate portion 21.

[0041] The spatula 14 is held by the inner lid 212 by being fitted between the upward slope 225 a of the support protrusion 225 and the recess 30 . For details, referring to Figures 4, 7 and 8, the spatula 14 is supported at three points by the pressing portion 30a abutting against the upper inclined surfaces 40a of the scooping portion 14b and the gripping portion 14c of the spatula 14, and the outer periphery 225d of the base end of the upward inclined surface 225a abutting against the spatula 14.

[0042] The outer periphery 225d of the base end of the upward slope 225a abuts from the radially inner side against the longitudinal middle part of the spatula 14 located between the scooping part 14b and the gripping part 14c, thereby pressing the scooping part 14b and the gripping part 14c against the recess 30.

[0043] When removing the spatula 14, the user pushes the spatula 14 radially inward toward the support protrusion 225. Then, the spatula 14 moves radially inward relative to the outer periphery 225d and climbs onto the upward slope 225a, and the spatula 14 floats up along the upward slope 225a. This allows the user to grasp the floated spatula 14.

[0044] As described above, according to the second embodiment to which the present invention is applied, the support protrusion 225 protruding upward from the upper surface 21a of the cover plate 21 is provided, and the spatula 14 is fitted between the outer periphery 225d of the support protrusion 225 and the recess 30. The spatula 14 is supported by the pressing portion 30a abutting against the scooping portion 14b, which is one end of the spatula 14 in the longitudinal direction, and the gripping portion 14c, which is the other end of the spatula 14 in the longitudinal direction, and by the outer periphery 225d of the support protrusion 225 abutting against the spatula 14. According to this configuration, the spatula 14 can be supported at three points by being sandwiched between the pressing portion 30a, which abuts against one end and the other end of the spatula 14, and the outer periphery 225d of the support protrusion 225, so that the spatula 14 can be held in a good position. Furthermore, the support protrusion 225 has an upwardly inclined surface 225a. According to this configuration, when spatula 14 is brought into contact with upwardly inclined surface 225a of support protrusion 225, spatula 14 can be lifted from upper surface 21a of cover plate portion 21. Therefore, spatula 14 can be easily removed from inner cover 212.

[0045] Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiment, and unless otherwise limited in the above description, various modifications and variations are possible within the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined in the claims. For example, the configurations of the above-described embodiment may be added or deleted as appropriate, and the configurations of one embodiment may be incorporated into other embodiments. Furthermore, the effects of the above-described embodiment are merely examples of the effects resulting from the present invention, and do not mean that the effects of the present invention are limited to the above-described effects. In the above embodiment, the pressing portion 30a has been described as an inclined surface that is inclined radially inward and downward of the peripheral wall portion 22, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the pressing portion 30a may be an edge (corner) that forms the upper end of the recess 30, and this edge may be brought into contact with the upper inclined surface 40a to generate the pressing force F. Furthermore, although the upper inclined surface 40a has been described as being arc-shaped, the upper inclined surface 40a may be a linear inclined surface that slopes downward toward the recess 30. In this case, the pressing portion 30a may be a linear inclined surface that matches the upper inclined surface 40a. 4, when the spatula 14 is placed upside down on the cover plate 21, the lower inclined surface 40b becomes the upper inclined surface, and this upper inclined surface may be brought into contact with the pressing portion 30a. In this way, the spatula 14 can be brought into proper contact with the pressing portion 30a without distinguishing between the front and back of the spatula 14, making it easy to hold the spatula 14. Also, if the upper inclined surface 40a can come into contact with the pressing portion 30a, the lower inclined surface 40b may not be chamfered. [Explanation of symbols]
