Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a container, and more particularly to a container with a removal tool comprising a container body, a lid, and a removal tool having a removal portion and a handle portion for removing the contents. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, there is a container with a removal tool, which includes a container body having an inner container part that opens upward and is formed with a bottom, a lid that can be opened and closed to cover the opening of the inner container part, and a removal tool that is formed vertically and has a removal part and a handle part (Patent Document 1). In such a conventional container with a removal tool, the container body further has an outer tube part that surrounds the inner container part from the outside in the radial direction, and the removal part is stored in the space between the inner container part and the outer tube part. In addition, in the conventional container with a removal tool, the lid has a top plate part and a peripheral wall part that is suspended from the top plate part, and when the lid is in a closed state, the handle part is stored in the space between the inner container part and the peripheral wall part.

[0003] Since this container with removal tool is equipped with the removal tool, the user can use the removal tool to remove the contents filled in the inner container, such as cream-like cosmetics or medicines, from the inner container and transfer them to the surface of the body for application, etc. In this case, the user does not need to prepare a separate removal tool, which is convenient.

[0004] Moreover, since the removal tool is stored inside the container body and the lid in the closed state, the removal tool is not exposed to the outside of the container when the user carries the conventional container with the removal tool, so the user does not have to worry about the removal tool getting caught on something and getting in the way, and it is possible to prevent the removal tool from coming into contact with the outside of the container and becoming contaminated with viruses, bacteria, etc.

[0005] Furthermore, even when the lid is open, the removal part is stored in the space between the inner container part and the outer tube part, so that a user can hold the container without directly touching the contents attached to the removal part. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0006] [Patent Document 1] Patent Publication No. 2020-179896 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0007] In the conventional container with a removal tool, the handle of the removal tool is stored in the space between the inner container of the container body and the peripheral wall of the lid. Meanwhile, the inner peripheral surface of the peripheral wall has a male thread, and the outer peripheral surface at the upper part of the inner container has a female thread, so that the lid is screwed to the container body. At this time, when the lid is in the closed state, the handle is sandwiched between the outer peripheral surface and the inner peripheral surface. Therefore, by providing a notch for the female thread on the outer peripheral surface and providing a female thread on the surface of the handle, the female thread on the handle serves as a substitute for the female thread that would have been provided on the outer peripheral surface if the notch had not been provided, thereby joining the lid to the container body.

[0008] In this way, the structure in which the female thread on the handle is screwed into the male thread corresponding to the notch is complicated, which causes inconveniences such as not easy to design and manufacture the container because the female thread on the outer peripheral surface is interrupted by the notch, and not easy to use because the handle must be accurately positioned in order for the extractor to engage the female thread on the handle with the male thread on the peripheral wall.

[0009] In addition, since the removal part is sealed in the storage space in the container body, the contents attached to the removal part tend to remain in the storage space as the removal tool is used repeatedly to store and remove the contents, which is unsanitary. Alternatively, the remaining contents may not be able to fit in the storage space and may overflow from the storage space, which may soil the surroundings.

[0010] SUMMARY OF THE PRESENTLY PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS OF THE PRESENT EMBODIMENT An object of the present invention is to provide a container with a dispenser that has a simple structure and can be used hygienically while storing the dispenser. [Means for solving the problem]

[0011] (1) The present invention provides a container body having an inner container part that opens upward and has a bottom, a lid that covers the opening of the inner container part in an openable and closable manner, and a vertically elongated removal tool having a removal part and a handle part, the container body further having an outer tubular part that surrounds the inner container part from the outside in the radial direction, and a first cavity part that communicates with outside air is formed between the inner container part and the outer tubular part, and the lid has a top plate part and a bottom plate part that is hung from the top plate part and has an inner peripheral surface that abuts against an outer peripheral surface at an upper part of the inner container part. The present invention provides a container with a removal tool, which has an inner peripheral wall portion radially assembled with the inner container portion and an outer peripheral wall portion similarly suspended from the outer peripheral wall portion, and which forms a second cavity portion between the inner peripheral wall portion and the outer peripheral wall portion, and which is configured such that, when the lid is in a closed state, the removal tool is inserted into an insertion hole formed in the container body and is positioned inside the first cavity portion, and the handle portion is positioned inside the second cavity portion. The inner container may have a substantially circular cross section, the inner peripheral wall may have a substantially circular cross section that is concentric with the inner container, and the removal tool may be configured such that the handle is partially cylindrical and that, when the lid is in the closed state, the inward surface of the handle is oriented to describe an arc about the center line of the inner peripheral wall in the cross section. Furthermore, the removal tool may be configured such that the removal part is partially cylindrical and, when the lid is in the closed state, the inward surface of the removal part is oriented to describe an arc about the center line of the inner container in the cross section.

[0012] That is, since the removal part of the removal tool is disposed inside the first cavity and this first cavity is in communication with the outside air, even if the removal part is inserted into the insertion hole and placed in the container body, the removal part is not sealed by the container with removal tool of the present invention. Therefore, even if the removal part of the removal tool is inserted and removed from the container body multiple times after each use, the contents attached to the removal part are unlikely to remain in the container body, and the retained contents are unlikely to overflow. Moreover, there is little risk that the first cavity, which is exposed to the outside air, will be placed in a humid environment. As a result, the user can use the removal tool of the container with removal tool of the present invention hygienically.

[0013] In addition, since the handle of the extractor is disposed inside the second cavity, and the second cavity is located on the opposite side of the inner peripheral wall from the outer peripheral surface of the inner container, the handle can be accommodated in the second cavity without contacting the outer peripheral surface. Therefore, the extractor is not interposed between the outer peripheral surface and the inner peripheral wall, and the extractor container of the present invention has a simple structure. Moreover, since the outer peripheral wall covers the outside of the handle, the extractor container of the present invention can protect the extractor from the outside of the container.

[0014] Furthermore, since the inner and outer peripheral walls, which are double peripheral walls sandwiching the second cavity, are suspended from the same top plate, the lid of the container with removal tool of the present invention has a simple structure, and the top plate, the inner peripheral wall, and the outer peripheral wall can be integrally molded from synthetic resin, for example, by injection molding. Therefore, the lid has high strength and can be manufactured efficiently.

[0015] (2) Furthermore, the container body may have an expanded diameter portion extending radially outward from the inner container portion at a midpoint in the vertical direction, the outer tube portion is suspended from the expanded diameter portion, and the insertion hole may be provided penetrating the expanded diameter portion in the vertical direction.

[0016] That is, the insertion hole of the container body of the container with the removal tool of the present invention penetrates the enlarged diameter portion in the vertical direction, and the removal part of the removal tool is inserted into this insertion hole and immediately reaches the first cavity. Due to this structure, the removal part has little opportunity to come into contact with the container body before being stored in the first cavity. This reduces the situation where the contents get stuck in various places on the container when the removal tool with the contents stuck to the removal part after use is stored in the container with the removal tool of the present invention. As a result, the user can use the container with the removal tool of the present invention hygienically.

[0017] In addition, the container body has a simple structure since it has the inner container part, the enlarged diameter part extending from the inner container part, and the outer cylinder part suspended from the inner container part, with a first cavity being formed between the inner container part and the outer cylinder part. This makes it possible to integrally mold the inner container part, the enlarged diameter part, and the outer cylinder part made of synthetic resin, for example, by injection molding. Furthermore, the container body has high strength and can be efficiently manufactured.

[0018] (3) Furthermore, the inner container portion may have a substantially circular cross section and a male thread portion on the outer peripheral surface at the upper part of the midway position, and the inner peripheral wall portion may have a substantially circular cross section and a female thread portion on the inner peripheral surface, and the respective thread portions may screw together in the closed state.

[0019] That is, the inner peripheral surface of the inner peripheral wall of the lid and the outer peripheral surface of the inner container of the container body are each approximately circular when viewed from the top and bottom and are screwed together by male and female threads, so that the user can easily open and close the container with removal tool of the present invention by rotating the lid. In addition, the lid can seal the inner container, preventing the contents such as cream-like cosmetics and medicines from drying out, deteriorating, or being mixed with foreign matter. As a result, the container with removal tool of the present invention has a simple structure that allows the lid to be easily opened and closed while reliably sealing the inner container.

[0020] (4) The outer tube portion may have a cross section formed in a substantially circular shape concentric with the inner container portion, and the outer peripheral wall portion may have a cross section formed in a substantially circular shape concentric with the inner peripheral wall portion.

[0021] That is, since the inner peripheral wall portion and the outer peripheral wall portion are formed as concentric circles when viewed from above and below, even when the lid is screwed onto or unscrewed from the inner container portion, the respective peripheral wall portions pass through a fixed circular orbit relative to the container body. Therefore, the respective peripheral wall portions can rotate without interfering with the removal tool whose removal portion is inserted into the insertion hole and whose handle portion is housed within the second hollow portion. As a result, the lid is not hindered by the removal tool even when it is being attached to or detached from the container body.

[0022] Furthermore, since the outer tube portion of the container body and the outer peripheral wall portion of the lid are formed in an approximately circular shape when viewed from the top to bottom, the overall volume of this container with removal device can be made smaller compared to the volume of the inner container portion.

[0023] Furthermore, since the cross-section of the inner container portion of the container body and the cross-section of the outer tube portion are concentric circles, and the cross-section of the inner peripheral wall portion of the lid and the cross-section of the outer peripheral wall portion are concentric circles, the container body and the lid each have a simple structure and can be easily molded and manufactured, for example, by injection molding.

[0024] (5) Furthermore, the inner container portion may be inclined so that part or all of the outer peripheral surface at the lower part of the intermediate position is positioned radially inward as it approaches the bottom, and the outer tube portion may be inclined so that part or all of the inner peripheral surface is positioned radially outward as it approaches the bottom.

[0025] That is, the removal part of the removal tool is disposed inside the first hollow part, while the outer peripheral surface of the inner container part and the inner peripheral surface of the outer tube part are inclined, and the vertical cross section of the first hollow part widens downward, so that the removal part is disposed so as to be distant from the outer peripheral surface of the inner container part and the inner peripheral surface of the outer tube part, respectively, as it approaches the bottom. As a result, even if the contents are attached to the removal part after use and in the state of being contained in the first hollow part, the contents are less likely to adhere to the outer peripheral surface and the inner peripheral surface. As a result, the user can hygienically use the container with removal tool of the present invention while storing the removal tool.

[0026] In addition, since the container body is formed so that it is spaced further away from the outer circumferential surface of the inner container portion and the inner circumferential surface of the outer cylinder portion as it approaches the bottom, when the container body is molded from synthetic resin by injection molding, for example, these inclinations become a draft angle, and the container body can be easily removed from the mold. As a result, the container with removal tool of the present invention has a simple structure and can be easily manufactured.

[0027] (6) Furthermore, the insertion hole may be formed in a horizontally elongated shape whose longitudinal direction coincides with the circumferential direction of the inner container portion, the cross section of the removal portion may be formed in a flattened shape, and the cross section of the handle portion may be longer than the length of the insertion hole in the circumferential direction and wider than the width of the insertion hole in a direction perpendicular to the circumferential direction, or may be longer than the length and wider than the width.

[0028] The first cavity in which the removal part of the removal tool inserted into the insertion hole is disposed is the space between the inner container part and the outer tubular part, and the second cavity in which the handle part of the same removal tool is disposed is the space between the inner peripheral wall part and the outer peripheral wall part. In contrast, the insertion hole provided through the enlarged diameter part located between these cavities is formed horizontally elongated. This allows the insertion hole to be drilled to the required size even if the diameters of the outer tubular part and the outer peripheral wall part of the container with removal tool of the present invention are reduced to narrow the spaces. In this way, the container with removal tool of the present invention can be made thin, and the structure involved in its manufacture is simple and easy to manufacture.

[0029] In addition, the removal tool is formed in a flat shape. This allows the removal tool of the necessary cross-sectional area to be inserted even if the diameters of the outer tubular portion and the outer peripheral wall portion of the container with removal tool of the present invention are reduced and each of the partial cylindrical spaces is narrowed. In this way, the container with removal tool of the present invention can be made thin, and the structure involved in its manufacture is simple and easy to manufacture.

[0030] Furthermore, the cross section of the handle is longer than the length of the insertion hole or wider than the width of the insertion hole. Therefore, when the extractor is inserted into the container body, the handle abuts against the edge of the enlarged portion around the insertion hole and does not enter deeper than the insertion hole. In this way, the container with extractor of the present invention can store the extractor without dropping it downward with a simple structure. Effect of the Invention

[0031] In this way, the present invention can provide a container with a take-out tool that can store the take-out tool while having a simple structure and can be used hygienically. It can also provide a container with a take-out tool that is easy to manufacture due to its structure. Furthermore, by having spaces such as hollow parts inside, it is possible to provide a container with a take-out tool that can store the take-out tool efficiently while reducing the amount of synthetic resin used, thereby reducing the burden on the global environment.

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0033] [First Embodiment] A first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figs. 1 to 8. In the perspective view of Fig. 1, 11 is a container with a take-out tool of the present invention. The container with a take-out tool 11 is generally formed in a substantially cylindrical shape with a central axis being a vertical center line C1. In addition, the entire outer circumferential surface of the container with a take-out tool 11 is formed into an inclined surface such that the diameter becomes slightly larger toward the bottom. This container with a take-out tool 11 includes a container body 12 that is visible at the bottom in a side view, and a lid 13 that is also visible at the top. Fig. 2 shows a perspective view of the container with a take-out tool 11 with the lid 13 and the packing material described below removed. The container body 12 and the lid 13 are made of synthetic resin such as polypropylene (PP) or saturated polyester (PET). In the figure, the direction of the arrow U indicates the top of the container with a take-out tool 11, and the direction of the arrow D indicates the bottom. The direction of the arrow F indicates the front, and the direction of the arrow B indicates the rear. Similarly, the direction of the arrow L indicates the leftward direction, and the direction of the arrow R indicates the rightward direction.

[0034] The container body 12 has an inner container portion 14, which opens upward at an opening 15 and has a bottom portion 16 at its lower bottom portion. The lid 13, which is removed in Fig. 2, can cover the opening 15 in an openable and closable manner. The side surface of the inner container portion 14 of the container body 12 is formed into a substantially cylindrical shape with a vertical center line C2 as its central axis. The center line C2 of the container body 12 coincides with the center line C1 of the container 11 with the removal tool.

[0035] The container body 12 also has an annular expanded diameter section 17 with a center line C2 as its central axis, which extends radially outward from the inner container section 14 at a vertical midpoint. An outer tube section 18 is vertically attached so as to hang downward from the periphery of this expanded diameter section 17. The outer tube section 18 is formed in a substantially cylindrical shape with the center line C2 as its central axis, and surrounds the portion of the inner container section 14 below the midpoint from the radially outer side.

[0036] An insertion hole 19 is formed in the enlarged diameter portion 17 so as to penetrate vertically. The insertion hole 19 is formed in the left-facing portion of the enlarged diameter portion 17 which is annular in plan view. A removal tool 21 is inserted into this insertion hole 19. The removal tool 21 is formed vertically long in order to remove the contents filled in the inner container portion 14. The contents filled in the container with removal tool 11 of the present invention are mainly cream-like cosmetics, medicines, etc., which are scooped up by the user using the removal tool 21 to remove them from the inner container portion 14, and transferred to the hand, a part of the body other than the hand, fabric, etc., and applied to the surface of the body, etc.

[0037] The structure in which the removal tool 21 is stored inside the container 11 with the removal tool is shown in the exploded view of Figure 3. Figure 3 shows the container 11 with the removal tool disassembled in the vertical direction. The removal tool 21 is inserted downward into the insertion hole 19 of the container body 12. At this time, the removal tool 21 is arranged so that the longitudinal direction coincides with the vertical direction. Furthermore, the removal part 22, which is the lower part of the removal tool 21, is inserted into the insertion hole 19, and the handle part 23, which is the upper part of the removal tool 21, projects upward from the insertion hole 19 as shown in Figure 2. The handle part 23 is stored facing upward in the inner structure of the lid 13 described below. The rounded part at the upper end of the handle part 23 is called the handle upper end part 23a.

[0038] The packing material 24 is shown in the exploded view of FIG. 3. The packing material 24 is made of a synthetic resin material such as a multi-layer material in which a low-foam polyethylene sheet is covered with a thin plastic film by lamination. The manufacturer fits the packing material 24 inside the lid 13. Then, the container body 12 in which the contents are filled in the inner container part 14 is covered with the lid 13. At this time, the packing material 24 is sandwiched between the top end of the inner container part 14 and the inside of the lid 13, and serves as a seal for the opening 15, so that it is possible to prevent the contents from drying out, deteriorating in quality, or being mixed with foreign matter during storage, transportation, display, etc. of the product. Then, when the user opens the purchased product, he or she opens the lid 13 with the packing material 24 still in place and takes out the contents from the container body 12. Also, the container body 12 with the contents remaining therein is covered again with the lid 13 in preparation for the next use.

[0039] As described above, the container with removal tool 11 is assembled by attaching the removal tool 21, packing material 24, and lid 13 to the container body 12 as shown in Fig. 3. The lid 13 is formed in a generally cylindrical shape extending in the vertical direction with the center line C3 as the central axis. When the lid 13 is combined with the container body 12, the center line C3 of the lid 13 coincides with the center line C1 of the container with removal tool 11.

[0040] Fig. 4 is a partial vertical cross-sectional view showing a vertical cross-section of the left half of the container 11 with removal tool as seen from the front, with the lid 13 in a closed state. In Fig. 4, the intermediate position in the vertical direction of the inner-container portion 14 to which the enlarged diameter portion 17 is extended as described above is indicated by arrow A in the figure. In the container body 12, the portion below this intermediate position A is referred to as the container body lower portion 27. In addition, in the inner-container portion 14, the portion above the intermediate position A is referred to as the inner-container upper portion 28.

[0041] The container body lower part 27 has a double structure in the radial direction, consisting of the inner container part 14 and the outer cylinder part 18. The cavity formed by the inner container part 14 and the outer cylinder part 18 is called the first cavity part 31. The uppermost part of the first cavity part 31 is closed by the expanded diameter part 17, while the lowermost part is open between the bottom part 16 and the lower edge of the outer cylinder part 18. This allows the first cavity part 31 to communicate with the outside air.

[0042] The lid 13 has a disk-shaped top plate 26 at the top. Double peripheral walls 32, 33 are arranged to hang down from the top plate 26. The lid 13 has such an inner structure. The inner peripheral wall 32, which is the inner peripheral wall, is formed in a cylindrical shape, and its inner peripheral surface abuts against the outer peripheral surface of the upper part 28 of the inner container when the lid 13 is in a closed state. This allows the inner peripheral wall 32 to be combined radially with the upper part 28 of the inner container, and as a result, the lid 13 is combined radially with the container body 12. The other outer peripheral wall, which is the outer peripheral wall, is formed in a cylindrical shape and is disposed outside the inner peripheral wall 32. Moreover, the inner peripheral wall 32 is disposed radially inward from the insertion hole 19, and the outer peripheral wall 33 is disposed radially outward from the insertion hole 19. The cavity formed by these double peripheral walls 32, 33 is called a second cavity 34.

[0043] The container body 12 including the inner container portion 14 and the outer cylinder portion 18 is integrally formed from synthetic resin by, for example, injection molding. The lid 13 including the inner and outer peripheral walls 32, 33 is also integrally formed from synthetic resin by, for example, injection molding.

[0044] As shown in Fig. 3, the extraction tool 21 has a pair of bulging parts 35, 35 that bulge in the short direction in the middle of the vertical direction. In the figure, each bulging part 35 bulges forward and backward. Since the user holds the extraction tool 21 above the bulging parts 35, the part above the bulging parts 35 is called the handle part 23, and the part below the bulging parts 35 is called the extraction tool 22. When the extraction tool 21 is inserted downward from the extraction tool part 22 into the insertion hole 19, the front and rear bulging parts 35, 35 are caught on parts of the enlarged diameter part 17 located in front and behind the insertion hole 19, so that the extraction tool 21 does not advance downward any further. In this way, the enlarged diameter part 17 locks the extraction tool 21 upward at the bulging parts 35. Fig. 4 shows the extraction tool 21 locked upward.

[0045] As a result, the removal part 22 is located below the intermediate position A in the vertical direction where the enlarged diameter part 17 is located, i.e., in the first cavity 31. The handle part 23 is located above the intermediate position A, i.e., in the second cavity 34. As a result, in the upper part of the container 11 with the removal tool, the upper part of the container 11 with the removal tool is located above the intermediate position A, in that order from the inside, with the lid 13 closed. Between the handle part 23 and the upper part of the container 11 with the removal tool, and between the handle part 23 and the inner wall part 32, there is a space of the second cavity 34. Thus, the handle part 23 is located in the second cavity 34 without interfering with the double wall parts 32, 33. FIG. 5 shows an explanatory diagram of the state in which the handle part 23 of the removal tool 21, indicated by a dotted line, is located in the second cavity 34 when the lid 13 is closed. In FIG. 5, the container body 12 and the packing material 24 are not shown in order to make the removal tool 21 easier to see.

[0046] Before use, the packing material 24 is sandwiched vertically between the top end of the inner container 14 and the top plate 26, isolating the inside of the inner container 14 from the outside air. As described above, the packing material 24 fits inside the lid 13, so even if the lid 13 is repeatedly opened and closed relative to the container body 12, it is possible to isolate the inside of the inner container 14 from the outside air when in the closed state.

[0047] With this configuration, as shown in the perspective view of Fig. 6(a), in the container 11 with the removal tool of the present invention, the removal part 22 of the removal tool 21 is disposed inside the first hollow part 31, and this first hollow part 31 is in communication with the outside air, so that even if the removal tool 21 is inserted into the insertion hole 19 and the removal part 22 is placed inside the container body 12, the removal part 22 is not sealed. Fig. 6(b) shows a bottom view of the container 11 with the removal tool. As shown in Fig. 4 and Fig. 6(a) and (b), the inner container part 14, the removal part 22, and the outer cylinder part 18 are disposed in this order from the inside in the lower part 27 of the container body. A space of the first hollow part 31 is interposed between the removal part 22 and the inner container part 14, and between the removal part 22 and the outer cylinder part 18, respectively. That is, in the first hollow portion 31 sandwiched between the inner container 14 and the outer tube portion 18, the removal part 22 does not come into contact with the inner container 14 and does not come into contact with the outer tube portion 18. Therefore, even if the removal part 22 of the removal tool 21 after each use is inserted and removed from the container body 12 multiple times, the contents attached to the removal part 22 are unlikely to adhere to and remain in the container body 12. And the retained contents are unlikely to overflow. Moreover, there is little risk that the first hollow portion 31 exposed to the outside air will be placed in a moist environment. As a result, the user can hygienically use the removal tool 21 of the container with removal tool 11 of the present invention.

[0048] Furthermore, the insertion hole 19 of the container body 12 of the container with removal tool 11 of the present invention penetrates the enlarged diameter portion 17 in the vertical direction, and the removal part 22 of the removal tool 21 is inserted into this insertion hole 19 and immediately reaches the first hollow part 31. Due to this structure, the removal part 22 has little opportunity to come into contact with the container body 12 before being stored in the first hollow part 31. This reduces the situation where the contents get stuck in various places on the container 11 when the removal tool 21 with the contents stuck to the removal part 22 after use is stored in the container with removal tool 11. As a result, the user can use the container with removal tool 11 hygienically.

[0049] 7, the inner-container upper portion 28 has a circumferential thread 41 on its outer circumferential surface to form a male thread 42. The inner peripheral wall portion 32 has a circumferential thread groove 43 on its inner circumferential surface to form a female thread 44. By rotating the lid 13 relative to the container body 12 around the center line C3, the threaded portions 42, 44 are screwed or unscrewed from each other, allowing the user to freely open and close the lid 13.

[0050] The outer tube portion 18 is formed in a substantially cylindrical shape with the center line C2 as its central axis, as shown in Figures 6(a) and 6(b). Therefore, the cross sections of the inner container portion 14 and the outer tube portion 18 form concentric circles in plan view. Moreover, the inner peripheral wall portion 32 and the outer peripheral wall portion 33 are both formed in a substantially cylindrical shape with the center line C3 as its central axis, as shown in Figure 5. Therefore, these cross sections form concentric circles in plan view.

[0051] With this configuration, the user can easily open and close the container with removal tool 11 of the present invention by rotating the lid 13. The lid 13 can also seal the inner container 14, preventing the contents, such as cream-like cosmetics and medicines, from drying out, deteriorating, or becoming mixed with foreign matter. As a result, the container with removal tool 11 has a simple structure that allows the lid 13 to be easily opened and closed while reliably sealing the inner container 14.

[0052] In addition, since the inner peripheral wall portion 32 and the outer peripheral wall portion 33 are both formed as concentric circles centered on the center line C3 in a plan view, even when the lid 13 is screwed to and unscrewed from the inner container portion 14, the respective peripheral wall portions 32, 33 pass through a fixed circular orbit with respect to the container body 12. Therefore, the respective peripheral wall portions 32, 33 can rotate without interfering with the removal tool 21 in a state in which the removal portion 22 is inserted into the insertion hole 19 and the handle portion 23 is accommodated in the second hollow portion 34. As can be seen from FIG. 5, even when the lid 13 rotates around the center line C3 in a clockwise direction CL or counterclockwise direction UL in a plan view, the handle portion 23 does not interfere with the respective peripheral wall portions 32, 33 when passing through the second hollow portion 34. As a result, the lid 13 is not hindered by the removal tool 21 even when it is attached to and detached from the container body 12.

[0053] Furthermore, since the outer tube 18 of the container body 12 and the outer peripheral wall 33 of the lid 13 are formed in a substantially circular shape in a plan view, the overall volume of this container with removal tool 11 can be made smaller than the volume of the inner container 14. This makes it possible to reduce the space, effort, cost, etc. required for storage, transportation, and display while ensuring the amount of filled content when the container with removal tool 11 is filled with content and stored, transported, displayed, etc. Also, the amount of synthetic resin used to manufacture the container with removal tool 11 can be reduced, reducing the burden on the global environment.

[0054] 4, the outer circumferential surface of the lower part 27 of the container body at the lower part of the midpoint A of the inner container part 14 is inclined so as to face radially inward as it approaches the bottom. At the same time, the inner circumferential surface of the outer tube part 18 on the outside of the outer circumferential surface is inclined so as to face radially outward as it approaches the bottom.

[0055] With this configuration, the removal part 22 of the removal tool 21 is disposed inside the first hollow part 31, whereas the outer peripheral surface of the inner container part 14 and the inner peripheral surface of the outer tube part 18 are inclined, and the first hollow part 31 expands inward and outward as it approaches the bottom, so that the removal part 22 is located so as to be distant from both the outer peripheral surface of the inner container part 14 and the inner peripheral surface of the outer tube part 18 as it approaches the bottom. As a result, even if contents are attached to the removal part 22 after use and in the state of being housed in the first hollow part 31, the contents are less likely to adhere to the outer peripheral surface and the inner peripheral surface. As a result, the user can hygienically use the container with removal tool 11 of the present invention while storing the removal tool 21.

[0056] In addition, since the inner container portion 14 and the outer cylinder portion 18 are formed so that they move further away from each other as the container body lower portion 27 moves downwards, when the synthetic resin container body 12 is molded by injection molding, for example, these inclinations act as a draft angle, making it easy to remove the container body 12 from the mold. As a result, the container with removal tool 11 of the present invention has a simple structure and can be easily manufactured.

[0057] Incidentally, as shown in the bottom view of Fig. 8, the insertion hole 19 is formed in a horizontally elongated shape whose front-to-rear longitudinal direction coincides with the circumferential direction of the inner-container portion 14. More specifically, among the edges forming the boundary between the expanded diameter portion 17 and the insertion hole 19, an inner edge 45 which is an edge facing radially outward describes an arc centered on a center line C2 which is the central axis of the container body 12 in a plan view. Similarly, among the edges forming the boundary, an outer edge 46 which is an edge facing radially inward describes an arc centered on the center line C2, like the inner edge 45.

[0058] On the other hand, the cross section of the removal portion 22 is formed flat. The cross section of the handle portion 23 is also formed flat. The removal portion inward surface 47, which is the surface facing inward in the radial direction of the removal portion 22 when inserted into the insertion hole 19, describes an arc centered on the center line C2 in a plan view. The removal portion outward surface 48, which is also the surface facing outward in the radial direction, describes an arc centered on the center line C2 in a plan view, just like the removal portion inward surface 47. The radial thickness of the removal portion 22 is smaller than the radial width of the insertion hole 19. As for the handle portion 23, both the handle inward surface and the handle outward surface describe an arc centered on the center line C2, and the radial thickness is smaller than the radial width of the insertion hole 19.

[0059] Here, hole length L1, which is the length in the circumferential direction of insertion hole 19, is greater than removal portion length L2, which is the length in the circumferential direction of the cross section of removal portion 22. Also, hole length L1 is less than handle portion length L3, which is the length in the circumferential direction of the cross section of handle portion 23. Handle portion length L3 corresponds to removal portion length L2 plus bulging length L4 from the upper end of removal portion 22 to the uppermost end of upper bulging portion 35 and bulging length L4 from the lower end of removal portion 22 to the lowermost end of lower bulging portion 35. Upward bulging length L4 and downward bulging length L4 are the same length.

[0060] With this configuration, the first cavity 31 in which the removal part 22 of the removal tool 21 inserted into the insertion hole 19 is disposed is the space between the inner container part 14 and the outer cylinder part 18, and the second cavity 34 in which the handle part 23 of the removal tool 21 is disposed is the space between the inner peripheral wall part 32 and the outer peripheral wall part 33. On the other hand, the insertion hole 19 provided penetrating the enlarged diameter part 17 located between these cavities 31, 34 in the vertical direction is formed in a horizontally elongated shape. As a result, even if the diameters of the outer cylinder part 18 and the outer peripheral wall part 33 are reduced and the above-mentioned spaces become narrow, the insertion hole 19 of the required size can be drilled. Also, the removal tool 21 is formed in a flat shape. As a result, even if the above-mentioned spaces become narrow, the removal tool 21 of the required cross-sectional area can be inserted. In this way, the container 11 with the removal tool can be made thin, and the structure involved in the production is simple and easy to produce.

[0061] Furthermore, handle length L3, which is the length of handle 23, is wider than hole length L1, which is the length of insertion hole 19. Therefore, as shown in Figure 8, handle 23 of removal tool 21 inserted into container body 12 comes into contact with front and rear hole circumferential vicinity 49, 49, which are circumferential vicinity portions of enlarged diameter portion 17 of insertion hole 19, and is locked upward, so that handle 23 of removal tool 21 does not enter deeper than insertion hole 19. In this way, container with removal tool 11 of the present invention can store removal tool 21 without dropping it downward with a simple structure.

[0062] The thickness of the handle portion 23 may be greater than the radial width of the insertion hole 19 as long as it does not interfere with the peripheral wall portions 32, 33.

[0063] [Second embodiment] A second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Fig. 9. Fig. 9 is a partial bottom view of container 11 with removal tool, seen from the same angle as Fig. 8 showing the first embodiment. The removal tool 21 is disposed below midway position A in the vertical direction where removal portion 22 is located at enlarged diameter portion 17, i.e., in first hollow portion 31. Moreover, handle portion 51 is disposed above midway position A, i.e., in second hollow portion 34.

[0064] The insertion hole 19 drilled in the enlarged diameter portion 17 is formed in a horizontally elongated shape whose longitudinal direction coincides with the circumferential direction of the inner-container portion 14. The cross section of the removal portion 22 is formed in a flat shape. In contrast, the cross section of the handle portion 51 is formed in a substantially circular shape. That is, the handle portion 51 is formed in a substantially cylindrical shape with a central axis in the up-down direction.

[0065] Here, hole width W1, which is the radial width of insertion hole 19, is wider than removal portion width W2, which is the radial width of the cross section of removal portion 22. Also, hole width W1 is smaller than handle portion width W3, which is the radial width of the cross section of handle portion 51. Handle portion width W3 corresponds to the length obtained by adding partial cylindrical width W4 from the left end of removal portion 22 to the left end of handle portion 51 and partial cylindrical width W4 from the right end of removal portion 22 to the right end of handle portion 51 to removal portion width W2. The left partial cylindrical width W4 and the right partial cylindrical width W4 are the same width.

[0066] As a result, when the removal tool 21 is inserted downward from the removal portion 22 into the insertion hole 19, the handle portion 51 abuts against the left and right radial vicinity 52, 52 of the enlarged diameter portion 17, which are radially adjacent portions of the insertion hole 19, and is locked upward. This prevents the handle portion 51 of the removal tool 21 from entering deeper than the insertion hole 19. In this way, the container 11 with the removal tool can store the removal tool 21 with a simple structure so that it does not fall downward.

[0067] The other configurations are common to the first embodiment.

[0068] [Third embodiment] A third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figures 10 and 11. In the plan view of Figure 10(a), 111 is a container with a removal tool of the present invention. The container with a removal tool 111 comprises a container body 112 and a lid 113. Moreover, the container with a removal tool 111 is formed to be generally symmetrical left to right and generally symmetrical front to back when viewed from above. The container body 112 and the lid 113 are formed with center lines C2 and C3 in the up-down direction as their central axes, respectively. The center lines C2 and C3 coincide when the lid 113 is in a closed state.

[0069] 10(a), the outer cylinder 118 of the container body 112 is shown in a plan view as a substantially ellipse having a long axis in the left-right direction and a center line C2 as its center. That is, the outer cylinder 118 is formed in an elliptical cylindrical shape having the center line C2 as its central axis. On the other hand, the outer peripheral wall 133 of the lid 113 is shown in a plan view in the closed state of the lid 113 as a substantially circular shape having the center line C3 as its center and disposed inside the substantially ellipse of the outer cylinder 118. That is, the outer peripheral wall 133 is formed in a cylindrical shape having the center line C3 as its central axis, and its diameter is shorter than the minor axis diameter of the outer cylinder 118.

[0070] 10(b) shows a bottom view of the container 111 with a removal tool. The container body 112 has an inner container portion 114 for filling the contents. The inner container portion 114 opens upward at an opening 115 (not shown) and has a bottom portion 116 at its lower bottom portion. The side surface of the inner container portion 114 is formed into a substantially cylindrical shape with the center line C2 as the central axis.

[0071] The container body 112 also has an expanded diameter portion 117 extending radially outward from the inner container portion 114 at a midpoint A in the up-down direction. The midpoint A is shown in the partial vertical cross-sectional view of Figure 11. The inner edge of the expanded diameter portion 117 is formed in a circular shape in plan view along the outer circumferential surface of the inner container portion 114. On the other hand, an outer tube portion 118 is vertically disposed so as to hang down from the periphery of the expanded diameter portion 117, and the outer edge of the expanded diameter portion 117 is formed in a substantially elliptical shape centered on the center line C2 and having a major axis in the left-right direction.

[0072] The container body lower part 127, which is a part below the midpoint A of the container body 112, has a double structure in the radial direction by the inner container part 114 and the outer cylinder part 118. The cavity formed by the inner container part 114 and the outer cylinder part 118 is called a first cavity part 131. In the first cavity part 131, the space located on the left and right of the inner container part 114 is wide due to the outer cylinder part 118 being formed in an elliptical cylindrical shape, and the space becomes narrower in front and behind the inner container part 114. The first cavity part 131 is closed at the top by the expanded diameter part 117, while the bottom part is open between the bottom part 116 and the lower edge of the approximately elliptical shape of the outer cylinder part 118. This allows the first cavity part 131 to communicate with the outside air.

[0073] In the container body 112, the removal part 122 of the removal tool 121 is inserted into an insertion hole 119 formed in the enlarged diameter part 117. The insertion hole 119 is provided on the left side of the inner container part 114 in a plan view. Therefore, when the removal tool 121 is inserted, the removal part 122 is disposed in a position of the first hollow part 131 where the space is relatively large.

[0074] 11 is a partial vertical cross-sectional view showing a vertical cross-section of the left half of the container 111 with a removal tool as seen from the front, with the lid 113 closed. In the inner container 114, the portion above the midpoint A is called the upper portion 128 of the inner container.

[0075] The lid 113 has a disk-shaped top plate 126 at the top. Double peripheral walls 132, 133 are provided so as to hang down from the top plate 126. The inner peripheral wall 132, which is the inner peripheral wall, and the outer peripheral wall 133, which is the peripheral wall provided on the outside of the inner peripheral wall 132, are both formed in a cylindrical shape with the center line C2 as the central axis. The cavity formed between the double peripheral walls 132, 133 is called a second cavity 134.

[0076] In a side view, the expanded diameter portion 117 is formed to protrude radially outward beyond the outer peripheral wall portion 133. As a result, the lid 113 and the container body lower portion 127 having the outer cylinder portion 118 hanging downward from the periphery of the expanded diameter portion 117 are formed such that the body above the midpoint A is generally narrower, and the body below the midpoint A is generally thicker. The expanded diameter portion 117 then forms an upward step.

[0077] The handle 123 of the extractor 121 is disposed in the second hollow portion 134. Each of the peripheral walls 132, 133 is formed in a cylindrical shape with the center line C2 as the central axis, and thus constitutes a concentric double structure in plan view. As a result, even when the lid 113 is screwed to and unscrewed from the inner container 114, each of the peripheral walls 132, 133 passes through a predetermined circular orbit relative to the container body 112. Due to this structure, even when the outer tube 118 described above is formed in a substantially elliptical cylindrical shape, each of the peripheral walls 132, 133 can rotate without interfering with the extractor 121 in a state in which the extractor 122 is inserted into the insertion hole 119 and the handle 123 is accommodated in the second hollow portion 134.

[0078] The other configurations are common to the first and second embodiments.

[0079] With these configurations, container 111 with removal tool is made narrower above midway position A than below, improving the design. Also, container body lower portion 127 is made into a roughly elliptical cylinder, improving the design, and making it possible to reduce the storage space in the front-to-rear direction compared to a cylindrical shape. The same applies to the space required for transportation, display, etc.

[0080] Moreover, by arranging removal part 122 in a relatively spacious position in first cavity 131, the contents attached to removal part 122 are less likely to adhere to and remain inside container body 112. This allows the user to use removal tool 121 of container with removal tool 111 in a hygienic manner.

[0081] In addition, as long as there is sufficient dimension to ensure sufficient space around the removal tool 122 when the removal tool 121 is inserted, the insertion hole 119 may be located in a position other than the left side of the inner container portion 114 when viewed in a plan view.

[0082] [Fourth embodiment] A fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figures 12 and 13. In the perspective view of Figure 12(a), 211 is a container with a removal tool of the present invention. The container with a removal tool 211 is formed into a generally equilateral triangular prism shape with a central axis being the vertical center line C1. The container with a removal tool 211 also comprises a container body 212 and a lid 213. The perspective view of Figure 12(b) shows the state in which the lid 213 has been removed from the container with a removal tool 211.

[0083] The lid 213 is formed in a substantially equilateral triangular prism shape with the vertical center line C3 as the central axis. The center line C3 coincides with the center line C1 when the lid 213 is in a closed state. The inner peripheral wall portion 232 and the outer peripheral wall portion 233, which are double peripheral wall portions, are hung downward from the top plate portion 226 of the lid 213. The cavity formed between these double peripheral wall portions 232, 233 is called the second cavity portion 234. The inner peripheral wall portion 232 is hidden and not shown, but is formed in a substantially cylindrical shape with the center line C3 as the central axis, as in the other embodiments. The outer peripheral wall portion 233 is a substantially equilateral triangular prism with the center line C3 as the central axis, and has a cross section in the shape of a Reuleaux triangle. The second cavity portion 234 is hidden and not shown.

[0084] The container body 212 has an inner container portion 214 for filling with the contents. The inner container portion 214 opens upward at an opening 215 and has a bottom portion 216 at its lower bottom portion. The side surface of the inner container portion 214 is formed into a substantially cylindrical shape with a vertical center line C2 as its central axis. The center line C2 coincides with the center line C1.

[0085] The container body 212 also has an expanded diameter section 217 extending radially outward from the inner container section 214 at a midpoint in the up-down direction. An outer cylinder section 218 is vertically disposed so as to hang downward from the periphery of the expanded diameter section 217. The outer cylinder section 218 is formed in a substantially equilateral triangular cylinder shape with the center line C2 as the central axis. The cross section of the outer cylinder section 218 has a Reuleaux triangle shape. The inner edge of the expanded diameter section 217 is formed in a circular shape in plan view along the outer circumferential surface of the inner container section 214. On the other hand, the outer edge of the expanded diameter section 217 is formed in a substantially equilateral triangular shape in plan view along the upper end of the outer cylinder section 218.

[0086] In the container body 212, a removal portion 222 of a removal tool 221 is inserted into an insertion hole 219 formed in the enlarged diameter portion 217. This insertion hole 219 is provided on the left side of the inner container portion 214 in a plan view.

[0087] 13 shows a perspective view of the container 211 with the removal tool seen obliquely from below. The container body lower part 227, which is a part of the container body 212 below the midway position, has a radially double structure made up of the inner container part 214 and the outer cylinder part 218. The cavity formed by the inner container part 214 and the outer cylinder part 218 is called the first hollow part 231. The removal part 222 is disposed inside the first hollow part 231 when the removal tool 221 is inserted.

[0088] At this time, the removal part 222 is disposed inside the first hollow part 231 away from both the outer circumferential surface of the inner container part 214 and the inner circumferential surface of the outer cylinder part 218. Therefore, the contents attached to the removal part 222 are unlikely to adhere to or remain inside the container body 212. This allows the user to use the removal tool 221 of the container with removal tool 211 in a hygienic manner.

[0089] The other configurations are common to the first and second embodiments.

[0090] The insertion hole 219 may be drilled at another position in the expanded diameter portion 217 as long as the peripheral walls 232, 233 do not interfere with the removal tool 221 when the lid 213 is screwed onto and unscrewed from the inner container portion 214. That is, in this case, the handle portion 223 of the removal tool 221 is drilled at a position where it does not come into contact with the peripheral walls 232, 233 and remains inside the second hollow portion 234 even when the lid 213 rotates.

[0091] [Fifth embodiment] A fifth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figures 14 and 15. In the perspective view of Figure 14(a), 311 is a container with a removal tool of the present invention. The container with a removal tool 311 is formed into a substantially square prism shape with a vertical center line C1 as the central axis. The container with a removal tool 311 also includes a container body 312 and a lid 313. The perspective view of Figure 14(b) shows the state in which the lid 313 has been removed from the container with a removal tool 311.

[0092] The lid 313 is formed in a substantially square prism shape with the vertical center line C3 as the central axis. The center line C3 coincides with the center line C1 when the lid 313 is in a closed state. From the top plate portion 326 of the lid 313, an inner peripheral wall portion 332 and an outer peripheral wall portion 333, which are double peripheral wall portions, are hung down so as to hang down. A cavity formed between these double peripheral walls 332, 333 is called a second cavity portion 334. The inner peripheral wall portion 332 is hidden and not shown, but is formed in a substantially cylindrical shape with the center line C3 as the central axis as in the other embodiments. The outer peripheral wall portion 333 is a substantially square tubular shape with the center line C3 as the central axis. The second cavity portion 334 is hidden and not shown.

[0093] The container body 312 has an inner container portion 314 for filling with the contents. The inner container portion 314 opens upward at an opening 315 and has a bottom portion 316 at its lower bottom portion. The side surface of the inner container portion 314 is formed into a substantially cylindrical shape with a vertical center line C2 as its central axis. The center line C2 coincides with the center line C1.

[0094] The container body 312 also has an expanded diameter portion 317 extending radially outward from the inner container portion 314 at a midpoint in the up-down direction. An outer tube portion 318 is vertically disposed so as to hang downward from the periphery of the expanded diameter portion 317. The outer tube portion 318 is formed in a substantially square tube shape with the center line C2 as its central axis. The inner edge of the expanded diameter portion 317 is formed in a circular shape in plan view along the outer circumferential surface of the inner container portion 314. On the other hand, the outer edge of the expanded diameter portion 317 is formed in a substantially square shape in plan view along the upper end of the outer tube portion 318.

[0095] In the container body 312, the removal portion 322 of the removal tool 321 is inserted into an insertion hole 319 formed in the enlarged diameter portion 317. This insertion hole 319 is provided on the left side of the inner container portion 314 in a plan view.

[0096] 15 shows a perspective view of container 311 with removal tool seen obliquely from below. Container body lower part 327, which is a portion of container body 312 below the midway position, has a radially double structure made up of inner container part 314 and outer cylinder part 318. The cavity formed by inner container part 314 and outer cylinder part 318 is called first cavity part 331. And removal part 322 is disposed inside first cavity part 331 when removal tool 321 is inserted.

[0097] At this time, the removal part 322 is disposed inside the first hollow part 331 away from both the outer circumferential surface of the inner container part 314 and the inner circumferential surface of the outer cylinder part 318. Therefore, the contents attached to the removal part 322 are unlikely to adhere to or remain inside the container body 312. This allows the user to use the removal tool 321 of the container with removal tool 311 in a hygienic manner.

[0098] The other configurations are common to the first and second embodiments.

[0099] The insertion hole 319 may be drilled at another position in the expanded diameter portion 317 as long as the peripheral walls 332, 333 do not interfere with the removal tool 321 when the lid 313 is screwed onto and unscrewed from the inner container portion 314. That is, in this case, the handle 323 of the removal tool 321 is drilled at a position where it does not come into contact with the peripheral walls 332, 333 and remains inside the second hollow portion 334 even when the lid 313 rotates.

[0100] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above as examples, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments, and various modifications are possible without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

[0101] For example, the shape of the take-out part of the take-out tool is not limited to a substantially rectangular shape when viewed from the left and right, and may be any shape other than rectangular as long as it can scoop and take out the contents and can be inserted into the insertion hole. For example, it may be shaped like a rice scoop. Also, the take-out tool of the take-out tool may be a more three-dimensional shape as long as it can be inserted into the insertion hole and does not interfere with the rotation of the lid.

[0102] The shape of the insertion hole does not necessarily have to be oblong, and it may be wider relative to its length as long as there is more space in the enlarged diameter portion and rotation of the lid is not impeded.

[0103] Furthermore, the outer cylinder or the lid is not limited to a circular, elliptical, equilateral triangular, or square shape in plan view, but may be a polygonal shape with pentagons or more sides, and may be a distorted circle, polygon, etc., without being limited to a perfect circle or regular polygon, etc. In the case of a polygonal shape, it is not limited to a Reuleaux polygon as exemplified, but may be an irregular polygonal shape such as one with rounded corners.

[0104] Furthermore, in addition to the lid being screwed onto and unscrewed from the container body by a threaded portion, the lid may be joined, for example, by a hinge, as long as the lid can securely cover the inner container portion, or the lid may be structured so that it is fitted into place by internal or external fitting. [Industrial Applicability]

[0105] INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY The present invention can be applied to a container with a dispenser which is filled with cream-type cosmetics, medicines, etc. and is provided with a dispenser for dispensing the contents. [Explanation of symbols]
