Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a container with a trash can. [Background technology]

[0002] Granular gum and the like are sold as so-called bottle gum, stored in a container with an openable lid. It is not good from the viewpoint of public morals, hygiene, and aesthetics to just throw away gum after chewing it. Therefore, it is customary to wrap it in paper or the like before discarding it. However, a disposal site such as a trash can is required to dispose of gum wrapped in paper, and if there is no disposal site nearby, the gum must be carried to the disposal site each time one finishes chewing it. Therefore, it is not suitable for portability. Therefore, in order to solve such inconveniences, inventions relating to containers with trash bins have been proposed.

[0003] For example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2008-7306 proposes a container with a trash can, which includes a container containing multiple pieces of gum, a bottomed, cylindrical movable cover with an open top that is fitted to the body of the container so that it can slide down, a first space for inserting and storing trash is formed between the body of the container and the peripheral wall of the movable cover, and an insert port communicating with the first space is provided at the upper end of the movable cover, and a second space communicating with the first space is formed between the bottom of the container and the bottom of the movable cover when the movable cover is lowered relative to the container (Patent Document 1).

[0004] According to Patent Document 1, the container with a trash can allows the gum to be wrapped in waste paper and disposed of in the second space after eating, and the amount of trash that can be stored can be increased according to the amount of trash by sliding down the movable cover.

[0005] [Patent Document 1] JP 2008-7306 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] However, the conventional container described in Patent Document 1 has a problem that the container as a whole becomes larger as the movable cover is lowered to increase the amount of garbage stored. In addition, as the number of gum pieces decreases, there is a problem that the gum has space to move around, and noise is generated due to vibration when carrying it. Furthermore, since it is necessary to open the lid and put your fingers into the container to take out the gum, there is a problem that dust and germs on your fingers get into the container each time, which is unhygienic.

[0007] The present invention has been made in consideration of the above circumstances, and aims to provide a compact container with a trash can that can store granular gum, individually wrapped candies, etc., and that can increase the amount of trash it can hold as the contents are reduced, and that in addition to the trash storage section, is equipped with a storage recess on the top surface of the container for storing discarded paper so that it can be removed one sheet at a time, thereby suppressing the generation of noise caused by play space even when the contents are reduced, and that allows the contents and discarded paper to be removed without putting fingers inside the container. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] The container of the present invention is a container in which contents are stored and offered for sale, in order to solve the problem that the entire container becomes larger when the amount of garbage it can hold becomes larger, and noise is generated due to the empty space created as the contents are reduced, and the container comprises a container body and a partition plate built into the container body, and the partition plate is formed in a shape that can divide the inside of the container body into an upper space capable of holding garbage and a lower space capable of holding the contents, and the container body has a garbage inlet through which garbage can be put into the upper space and a contents outlet through which the contents can be discharged from the lower space, and the partition plate is configured to be movable up and down so that it descends by its own weight or the elastic force of an elastic material as the contents are discharged from the lower space, thereby increasing the capacity of the upper space.

[0009] In addition, as one aspect of the present invention, in order to solve the problem of the contents spilling out unintentionally, the container body comprises an inner container and an outer container, one formed as a cylinder with a bottom and the other formed as a cylinder with a top, and the bottom and the top are fitted together from the opening sides opposite to each other to form a double tube with closed top and bottom surfaces, and the inner container and the outer container may be formed with the garbage inlet that opens when rotated relative to each other by a predetermined angle, and the contents outlet that opens when rotated relative to each other by a predetermined angle and then slid in either the upward or downward direction.

[0010] Furthermore, as one aspect of the present invention, in order to prevent the contents from unintentionally flying out and to solve the problem of opening the contents discharge outlet in a continuous operation from the opening operation of the garbage inlet, the inner container and the outer container may be formed with the garbage inlet that opens by rotating them relatively by a predetermined angle, and the contents discharge outlet that opens by sliding them in either an upward or downward direction from the garbage inlet open state.

[0011] In addition, as one aspect of the present invention, in order to solve the problem of easily and reliably removing an attachment such as discarded paper without inserting fingers into the container, the container body may be formed with a storage recess capable of storing a plurality of sheet-like attachments different from the contents, and an upper opening of the storage recess may be formed with a covering portion for covering at least a portion of the attachment, a sliding opening for inserting a finger into the storage recess from the side of the covering portion to slide the attachment, and an removal opening that is opened at both ends in the sliding direction of the covering portion for removing the attachment that has been slid.

[0012] Furthermore, as one aspect of the present invention, in order to solve the problem that the partition plate is unable to hold down the contents when the container is turned upside down, the container may be provided with an inversion drop prevention means that prevents the partition plate from dropping under its own weight when the container is turned upside down.

[0013] In addition, as one aspect of the present invention, in order to solve the problem of allowing the partition plate to descend under its own weight when the container is upside down, and preventing it from descending under its own weight when the container is inverted, the means for preventing descent when inverted has a guide groove formed in a spiral shape from top to bottom on the inner surface of the container body, and a guide protrusion formed to protrude from the outer edge of the partition plate, which is fitted into the guide groove and causes the partition plate to descend while rotating along the guide groove, and the upper surface of the guide groove may be formed with a plurality of descent prevention engagement protrusions that engage the guide protrusions and prevent the partition plate from descending when the container is inverted upside down.

[0014] Furthermore, as one aspect of the present invention, in order to solve the problem of securely engaging the guide protrusion with the anti-descent locking protrusion when the container is turned upside down, the anti-descent locking protrusion may be provided with a guide protrusion mounting surface that is approximately horizontal when the container is turned upside down, and on which the guide protrusion is placed to prevent the guide protrusion from falling off.

[0015] In addition, as one aspect of the present invention, in order to solve the problem of securely engaging the guide protrusion with the anti-descent locking protrusion when the container is turned upside down, the anti-descent locking protrusion may have a concave shape that is recessed downward when the container is turned upside down, and may be provided with a guide protrusion engaging groove into which the guide protrusion fits.

[0016] Furthermore, as one aspect of the present invention, in order to solve the problem of allowing the partition plate to descend under its own weight when the container is upside down, and preventing it from descending under its own weight when the container is inverted, the means for preventing descent when inverted includes a guide rod erected at the center position of the container body, a backflow prevention cone section having a substantially truncated cone shape formed on the guide rod at a predetermined interval, and an insertion hole opened at the center position of the partition plate and large enough to allow the backflow prevention cone section to pass through, and the backflow prevention cone section may be configured to engage the peripheral portion of the insertion hole to prevent the partition plate from descending if the center positions of the guide rod and the partition plate are misaligned when the container is inverted upside down. Effect of the Invention

[0017] According to the present invention, the container body is divided by a lowerable partition into an upper space capable of accommodating garbage and a lower space capable of storing contents, so that the partition descends as the contents decrease, thereby enabling the capacity of the upper space to be increased without changing the overall size of the container.

[0018] In addition, by lowering the partition, the play space for the contents is reduced, thereby reducing noise.

[0019] Furthermore, since the container body and the partition plate are provided with means for preventing the container from falling when turned upside down, the effect of suppressing noise can be maintained even if the container is turned upside down.

[0020] In addition, the contents discharge port is configured to be opened by a two-stage sliding action of relative rotation of the inner container and the outer container and up and down sliding, thereby preventing the contents from flying out unintentionally.

[0021] Furthermore, the storage recess on the top of the container allows the discarded paper to be removed one sheet at a time, eliminating the need to insert one's fingers into the container to remove the contents or discarded paper, and preventing dust or germs on fingers from entering the container and causing unsanitary conditions.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0023] Next, a first embodiment of the container according to the present invention will be described.

[0024] The container of the first embodiment is intended for sale filled with a large number of pellets of gum as the content, as shown in FIG. 1, and comprises a container body 1 and a partition plate 2 built into the container body 1.

[0025] The container body 1 is the container part that contains the contents, the partition plate 2, and waste after the contents have been used, and in this first embodiment, it is composed of an inner container 11 and an outer container 12 outside it.

[0026] The inner container 11 is formed in a cylindrical shape with a bottom, and has a garbage inlet 111 near the upper end of the side so that garbage can be put inside, and a contents outlet 112 near the lower end of the side so that the contents can be discharged from the inside.

[0027] 1, 2 and 4, a slide groove 113 is formed on the outer circumferential surface of the inner container 11 to serve as a guide when rotating or sliding up and down relative to the outer container 12. As shown in FIG. 1, the slide groove 113 in the first embodiment has a rotation groove 113a formed along the rotation direction, a vertical sliding groove 113b formed along the upward direction from one end of the rotation groove 113a, and a lock protrusion 113c formed in a convex shape shallower than the depth of the groove on the other end side of the rotation groove 113a and locking the rotation operation by riding over and engaging the protrusion 122 of the outer container 12.

[0028] Furthermore, the bottom of the inner container 11 is formed in a disk shape having an outer diameter equal to or larger than the outer diameter of the outer container 12 so that the container can be easily held.

[0029] The outer container 12, together with the inner container 11, is for forming a space capable of containing contents, garbage, and a partition plate, and is formed in a cylindrical shape with a top. The inner diameter of the outer container 12 is formed to be slightly larger than the outer diameter of the inner container 11, and as shown in Fig. 3, the bottom of the inner container 11 and the outer container 12 are fitted together from the opening side opposite the top of the outer container 12 to form a double pipe with closed top and bottom surfaces.

[0030] 2 and 4, the inner peripheral surface of the outer container 12 is provided with a protrusion 122 that fits into the slide groove 113. The protrusion 122 of the outer container 12 and the slide groove 113 of the inner container 11 regulate the range of rotation and vertical sliding, preventing unnecessary rotation and vertical sliding.

[0031] Furthermore, as shown in Figures 1 and 4, the outer container 12 has a communication hole 121 that communicates with the garbage inlet 111 of the inner container 11 when the outer container 12 and the inner container 11 are rotated relatively by a predetermined angle from the locked state in which the protrusion 122 of the outer container 12 is engaged with the locking protrusion 113c of the inner container 11.

[0032] The rotation direction is not particularly limited, and can be appropriately selected depending on the structure and position of the slide groove 113.

[0033] A storage recess 123 capable of storing a plurality of sheet-like attachments is formed on the top of the outer container 12. In addition, the upper opening of the storage recess 123 in the first embodiment is formed with a covering portion 123c for covering at least a part of the attachment, a sliding opening 123a for inserting a finger into the storage recess from the side of the covering portion 123c to slide the attachment, and a removal opening 123b for removing the slid attachment, which is opened on both ends of the covering portion in the sliding direction, as shown in Figs.

[0034] The storage recess 123 in the first embodiment functions as a waste paper storage section for storing waste paper that wraps the gum after chewing as an additional item, and is formed in a substantially rectangular shape in a plan view in order to store rectangular waste paper. Also, as shown in Fig. 2, both ends of the storage recess 123 in the sliding direction are formed with fillets whose bottoms are formed in a concave curved shape toward the removal opening 123b.

[0035] The covering portion 123c is intended to prevent the discarded paper stored in the storage recess 123 from accidentally flying out, and is the upper opening of the storage recess 123, and is formed so as to cover a portion of the discarded paper from one edge toward the center.

[0036] The sliding opening 123a serves as an insertion port for storing discarded paper in the storage recess 123, and is also an opening for inserting a finger from the side of the covering portion 123c to slide the discarded paper, and is opened so that there is a gap on the side opposite the base end of the covering portion 123c large enough to insert the tip of an average adult's finger.

[0037] The removal opening 123b is an opening for removing the discarded paper that has been slid using the sliding opening 123a from the storage recess 123 to the outside, and is opened at both ends of the covering portion 123c in the sliding direction so as to provide a gap large enough to allow the discarded paper to pass through, as shown in FIG. 1.

[0038] In this first embodiment, the inner container 11 has a bottom and the outer container 12 has a top, but this is not limited to this, and the inner container 11 may have a top and the outer container 12 may have a bottom.

[0039] The partition plate 2 is a plate for dividing the internal space of the container body 1 into an upper space capable of accommodating garbage and a lower space capable of storing contents, and in this first embodiment, is formed in a circular plate shape with an outer diameter slightly smaller than the inner circumference of the internal container 11, and is built into the internal space of the internal container 11 so that it can descend under its own weight.

[0040] Moreover, the container of the first embodiment is provided with an inversion drop prevention means for preventing the partition plate 2 from dropping under its own weight when the container is turned upside down.

[0041] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the means for preventing descent during inversion in this first embodiment is composed of a guide groove 114 formed in a spiral shape from top to bottom on the inner surface of the inner container 11, and a guide protrusion 21 formed to protrude from the outer edge of the partition plate 2, which is fitted into the guide groove 114 and causes the partition plate 2 to rotate along the guide groove 114 while descending.

[0042] As shown in FIG. 6, the lower surface of the guide groove 114 is formed in a flat shape so as not to prevent the partition plate 2 from descending under its own weight when the container is in the correct upright position.

[0043] Meanwhile, a plurality of descent prevention locking projections are formed on the upper surface of the guide groove 114 in order to prevent the partition plate 2 from descending under its own weight when the container is turned upside down. The descent prevention locking projections in this first embodiment are formed in a stepped shape, become substantially horizontal when the container is turned upside down, and are provided with a guide projection mounting surface on which the guide projection 21 is placed to prevent the guide projection 21 from falling off.

[0044] In addition, the drop prevention locking protrusion is not limited to a configuration having a guide protrusion mounting surface, and may be a concave shape that is recessed downward when inverted upside down, as shown in Figure 7, and may be provided with a guide protrusion fitting groove into which the guide protrusion 21 fits.

[0045] Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 6, the guide protrusion 21 is formed in the shape of a right-angled triangle, and is arranged in the form of an inclined surface so that its lower surface fits along the lower surface of the guide groove 114, which is formed in the shape of a flat surface, when the container is in the correct upright position.

[0046] On the other hand, the guide protrusions 21 are arranged to come into surface contact with the guide protrusion placement surface when the container is in an upside down state. Therefore, the guide protrusions 21 are placed on the guide protrusion placement surface, and the surface contact with the guide protrusion placement surface increases frictional resistance, making it difficult for the guide protrusions 21 to fall to the lower level.

[0047] The shape of the guide projection 21 is not limited to a right-angled triangle, but may be appropriately selected from a cylindrical shape, an elliptical cylindrical shape, or the like, as shown in FIG.

[0048] Next, the function of each component in the container of the first embodiment will be described.

[0049] The contents are stored in a lower space which is an internal space of the container and is partitioned by a partition plate 2. The partition plate 2 is vertically movable inside the container, and the contents can be stored to the fullest extent of the internal space.

[0050] Before the contents are removed, the outer container 12 and the inner container 11 are locked together by having the protrusion 122 of the outer container 12 overcome and engage the locking protrusion 113c of the inner container 11 to prevent the outer container 12 and the inner container 11 from unintentionally rotating or sliding up and down.

[0051] Next, when the contents are to be removed, the outer container 12 is rotated along the rotation groove 113a to the vertical slide groove 113b, and then slid upward along the vertical slide groove 113b. As a result, the contents discharge port 112 near the lower end of the side surface of the inner container 11, which was blocked by the outer container 12, opens, and the contents can be removed. In this way, in the first embodiment, in order to open the contents discharge port 112, two steps of operations in different directions, namely a rotation operation and an upward sliding operation, are required, so that the contents discharge port 112 can be prevented from opening unintentionally and the contents from flying out. In addition, since it is not necessary to insert a finger into the container to remove the contents, it is possible to prevent dust and germs on the fingers from entering the container. In addition, in the first embodiment, when the contents are removed, the garbage input port 111 is closed, so that garbage does not fly out unintentionally.

[0052] On the other hand, when inserting trash, the outer container 12 is rotated a predetermined angle along the rotation groove 113a, so that the trash inlet 111 of the inner container 11 communicates with the communication hole 121 of the outer container 12, allowing trash to be inserted into the upper space. Therefore, after chewing the gum, which is the content in this first embodiment, the trash can be wrapped in discarded paper taken out from the storage recess 123 provided on the top and thrown away.

[0053] In addition, the discarded paper stored in the storage recess 123 in this first embodiment is stacked one sheet at a time, and to remove the discarded paper, as shown in Fig. 5, insert your finger into the sliding opening 123a and slide the discarded paper in the direction of removal, and when the tip of the discarded paper comes out of the removal opening 123b, grab the tip of the discarded paper with your fingers and pull it to remove it. At this time, the removal opening 123b has two directions, so removal is easy without having to worry about the direction. Also, as with removing the contents, there is no need to insert your finger into the container to remove the discarded paper, which is hygienic.

[0054] When the contents discharge port 112 is opened and the contents are removed, the volume of the contents in the lower space decreases. Meanwhile, since the partition plate 2 is built-in and can descend under its own weight, it descends as its volume decreases, and the capacity of the upper space increases. This allows the amount of garbage to be put in to be increased, so there is no need to make the upper space larger in advance to increase the amount of garbage put in, and the entire container can be made compact.

[0055] When the container is upside down, the inclined lower surface of guide protrusion 21 comes into contact with the lower surface of guide groove 114, which is formed in a flat shape, so partition plate 2 smoothly descends without tilting. Furthermore, as partition plate 2 descends, there is no play space between the contents, so noise caused by the contents colliding with each other or the contents and the container due to vibrations during carrying can be suppressed.

[0056] In this first embodiment, furthermore, an inversion drop prevention means prevents the partition plate 2 from dropping when the container is inverted. Specifically, as shown in Fig. 6, when the container is turned upside down, the guide protrusion 21 is engaged with a drop prevention locking protrusion on the upper surface of the guide groove 114 formed in a stepped shape, thereby preventing the partition plate 2 from dropping. In this first embodiment, the substantially horizontal guide protrusion mounting surface and the substantially horizontal lower surface of the guide protrusion 21 are in surface contact with each other, so that frictional resistance is large and it is possible to prevent the guide protrusion 21 from falling off the guide protrusion mounting surface.

[0057] In the container of the first embodiment, the inversion drop prevention means prevents the partition plate 2 from dropping even when the container is turned upside down, so that the effect of suppressing noise can be maintained.

[0058] According to the container of the first embodiment as described above, the following operational effects can be achieved. 1. The capacity of the garbage storage section can be increased as the contents are discharged without changing the size of the entire container, so there is no need to prepare a large garbage storage section in advance, and the entire container can be made compact. 2. Since the content discharge port 112 will not open unless the two-stage operation is performed, it is possible to prevent the contents from flying out unintentionally. 3. Since there is no need to insert your fingers into the container to remove the contents or discard paper, it is possible to prevent dust or germs on your fingers from entering the container and causing unsanitary conditions. 4. Regardless of the up-down orientation of the container, the play space between the partition 2 and the contents can be reduced, thereby suppressing noise caused by vibrations when carrying the container.

[0059] Next, a second embodiment of the container according to the present invention will be described. Note that the same or corresponding components as those described in the first embodiment will be denoted by the same reference numerals and will not be described again.

[0060] As shown in Figure 8, the inversion drop prevention means of this second embodiment is composed of a cylindrical guide rod 13 erected at the center position of the container body 1, backflow prevention cone sections 131 formed in a row at predetermined intervals on the guide rod 13, and an insertion hole 22 opened at the center position of the partition plate 2 and large enough to allow the backflow prevention cone section 131 to pass through.

[0061] The guide rod 13 is for guiding the partition plate 2 to move up and down along the insertion hole 22, and is erected from the center position of the container body 1 to near the top of the container body 1.

[0062] The backflow prevention cone sections 131 do not prevent the descent of the partition plate 2 when the container is upright, but prevent the descent by engaging the partition plate 2 when the container is upside down, and are formed at predetermined intervals in the axial direction of the guide rod 13. The backflow prevention cone sections 131 in this second embodiment are formed so as to have a substantially conical shape with the top at the top when the container is upright, as shown in Fig. 8.

[0063] The insertion hole 22 is a hole for allowing the partition plate 2 to move down, and opens at the center position of the partition plate 2 with a dimension slightly larger than the maximum diameter of the backflow prevention cone portion 131.

[0064] Next, the operation of the inversion drop prevention means in the second embodiment will be described.

[0065] As shown in Fig. 8, if the container is upside down and the contents are discharged from the lower space, the partition plate 2 starts to descend under its own weight. At this time, the backflow prevention cone portion 131 is inclined so as to widen from the top to the bottom, so even if the center position of the partition plate 2 is misaligned, the backflow prevention cone portion 131 is guided to align with the center along the inclination. The insertion hole 22 is opened larger than the backflow prevention cone portion 131, so the backflow prevention cone portion 131 can be inserted. Therefore, the partition plate 2 can descend under its own weight.

[0066] On the other hand, when the device is turned upside down, the backflow prevention cone 131 is also turned upside down and its upper surface becomes flat. At this time, in order for the insertion hole 22 to pass through the backflow prevention cone 131, the centers of the partition plate 2 and the guide rod 13 must be aligned, and if the center position of the partition plate 2 is slightly deviated from the center position of the guide rod 13, the backflow prevention cone 131 will lock the partition plate 2 and prevent it from descending, as shown in Figure 8.

[0067] As described above, according to the container of the second embodiment, regardless of the up-down orientation of the container, the play space between the partition plate 2 and the contents can be reduced, thereby suppressing noise generated by vibration when carried, etc., and thus achieving the same effect as the first embodiment.

[0068] Next, a third embodiment of the container according to the present invention will be described. Note that the same or corresponding components as those described in the first and second embodiments are denoted by the same reference numerals and will not be described again.

[0069] As shown in FIG. 9, the container of the third embodiment includes an elastic member that exerts an elastic force to move the partition plate 2 downward.

[0070] The elastic body in the third embodiment is made up of a spring 3 that connects the top part of the outer container 12 and the center position of the partition plate 2, and is configured to exert an elastic force so as to press the partition plate 2 downward.

[0071] Next, the operation of the container of the third embodiment will be described.

[0072] 9, in the third embodiment, when the contents are discharged from the lower space, the partition plate 2 lowers the contents by the elastic force of the spring 3. This increases the capacity of the upper space and increases the space for inserting garbage.

[0073] Furthermore, when the container is turned upside down, the elastic force of the spring 3 prevents the partition plate 2 from falling, so that the spring 3 also functions as a means for preventing the partition plate 2 from falling when the container is turned upside down.

[0074] As described above, according to the container of this third embodiment, the elastic force of the elastic material can be used to move the partition 2 up and down so as to eliminate any play space between the partition 2 and the contents, regardless of the up and down direction of the container, thereby achieving the same effects as the first and second embodiments, such as making the entire container more compact and reducing noise when carried.

[0075] The container according to the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and can be modified as appropriate. For example, in the first to third embodiments, the contents are granular gum, but the contents are not particularly limited, and the container can be applied to various things such as cigarettes, matchsticks, individually wrapped candy and chocolate, etc. It is particularly effective for things that generate waste after use or eating and require a temporary disposal place.
