Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] In Patent Document 1, since the spatula is sandwiched between a pair of clamping pieces, when accommodating the spatula, the spatula must be fitted between these pair of clamping pieces, and when removing the spatula, the spatula must be pulled out from between the pair of clamping pieces. Inserting and removing the spatula is troublesome. If the clamping pieces are omitted to avoid this inconvenience, the position of the spatula on the inner lid becomes indefinite, and a part of the spatula may protrude outside the inner lid, which may interfere when closing the upper lid.

[0005] An object of the present invention is to provide a container with a spatula that can easily hold the spatula at a predetermined position between the container body and the upper lid.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0006] The first means is a container body 2 having a circumferential wall 4 with an opening O on the upper end side, Within the opening O, a support frame 16 is provided that protrudes inward from the periphery wall 4 of the body, The upper cover 30 covers the opening O, The base end e1 and tip end e2, which are located on both sides in the longitudinal direction L, are placed on the support frame 16, and the spatula 40 is positioned inside the opening O, It is equipped with, The lower surface of the base end portion e1 and the upper surface of the support frame 16 are formed with engaging grooves D and C, which engage with each other to position the spatula 40 in place.

[0007] In this method, as shown in Figure 1, a support frame 16 is provided that protrudes inward from the body perimeter wall 4 within the opening O of the container body 2, and the base end e1 and tip end e2 of the spatula 40 are placed on this support frame 16, and engaging grooves D and C are formed on the lower surface of the base end e1 of the spatula 40 and the upper surface of the support frame 16, which engage with each other to position the spatula 40 in a fixed position. This structure allows the spatula 40 to be easily held in a designated position and does not get in the way when the top lid 30 is closed.

[0008] The second means has the same features as the first means, and the support frame 16 is formed in a circumferential shape when viewed from above, and is positioned inside the mounting cylinder portion 12 fitted onto the outer wall 4 of the body, and a lower step portion 16c protrudes downward and inward from a higher step portion 16a connected to the mounting cylinder portion 12 via a vertical cylinder portion 16b, and the spatula 40 is placed on this lower step portion 16c.

[0009] In this configuration, as shown in Figure 1, a lower step portion 16c is projected downward and inward from a higher step portion 16a connected to the mounting cylinder portion 12 via a vertical cylinder portion 16b, and the spatula 40 is placed on this lower step portion 16c. With this structure, the spatula 40, which is positioned on the lower step portion 16c of the support frame 16, is surrounded by the vertical cylindrical portion 16b, which prevents the spatula 40 from falling out of the support frame 16 even if the container is tilted slightly in the open state shown in Figure 2(B). Furthermore, in this method, the support frame 16 is formed in a circumferential shape when viewed from above. With this structure, as shown in Figure 2(A), the distance r from the center m of the support frame 16 to the inner edge of the support frame 16 is constant, thus preventing the spatula 40 from unexpectedly falling out of the lower step portion 16c of the support frame 16 into the container body 2.

[0010] The third means has either the first or second means, and the engaging groove D is a recess oriented in the width direction W of the spatula 40 and traversing the lower surface of the base end e1, and the engaging protrusion C is formed on the upper surface of the support frame 16 oriented in the circumferential direction P of the body perimeter wall 4 and includes a corner-shaped portion 19 which is at least a part of the circumferential direction P. The angular portion 19 is loosely fitted into the engagement groove D so as to be slidable in the radial direction R of the body periphery wall 4, and is formed to allow the spatula 40 to slide in the radial direction R.

[0011] In this method, as shown in Figure 1, the engaging groove D is a recess that is oriented in the width direction W of the spatula 40 and crosses the lower surface of the base end e1, and the engaging protrusion C is formed on the upper surface of the support frame 16 oriented in the circumferential direction P of the body perimeter wall 4 and includes a corner-shaped portion 19 which is at least a part of the circumferential direction P. Furthermore, this angular portion 19 is loosely fitted into the engagement groove D so as to be slidable in the radial direction R of the body periphery wall 4, and is formed so that the spatula 40 can slide in the radial direction R, as shown by the solid and dashed lines in Figure 3(B). According to this structure, the spatula 40 can be easily positioned in a predetermined location when being stored from the outside to the mounting location, as shown in Figure 3(A), due to its sliding movement.

[0012] The fourth means includes the first means or the second means, and is provided on the lower surface side of the top lid 30 with an adsorption means 38 that is adsorbed to the spatula 40 when the top lid 30 is closed, and has an adsorption force that allows the spatula 40 to be lifted by opening the lid from this adsorbed state.

[0013] In this device, a suction means 38 is provided on the lower surface of the upper lid 30, as shown by dashed lines in Figure 4(B), for adsorption onto the spatula 40 when the upper lid 30 is closed. This suction means 38 has sufficient suction force to lift the spatula 40 from the support frame 16 by opening the lid from the state of adsorption with the spatula 40. With this structure, the spatula 40 can be moved from the support frame 16 side to the top lid 30 side by opening the lid, as shown by the solid line in Figure 4(B), making it easy to remove the spatula. [Effects of the Invention]

[0014] According to the present invention, the spatula can be easily held in a predetermined position between the container body and the lid. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0015] [Figure 1] This is a cross-sectional view of a container with a spatula according to the first embodiment of the present invention, viewed from the side. [Figure 2] Figure 1 shows the configuration of the container when the lid is opened; Figure (A) is a plan view, and Figure (B) is a cross-sectional view from the side. [Figure 3] Figure 1 is an explanatory diagram of the operation of the container shown. Figure (A) shows the step of tilting the spatula from an inclined position with one end touching the support frame to a horizontal position, and Figure (B) shows the step of sliding the spatula while it is in a horizontal position. [Figure 4] The second embodiment of the present invention shows the configuration of the container with a spatula when the lid is opened; Figure (A) is a plan view and Figure (B) is a cross-sectional view from the side. [Best Mode for Carrying Out the Invention]

[0016] Figures 1 to 3 show a spatula-equipped container according to the first embodiment of the present invention. This container includes a container body 2, a cap body 10, an upper lid 30, and a spatula 40. These members can be formed of, for example, a synthetic resin material.

[0017] The container body 2 has a cylindrical (circular cylindrical in the illustrated example) body peripheral wall 4 with an opening O at the upper end side erected from the peripheral edge portion of the bottom 3, and a female screw portion 5 is formed in the upper half portion 4b thereof. In the illustrated example, the lower half portion 4a of the body peripheral wall 4 is formed with a larger outer diameter than the upper half portion 4b, but the structure can be appropriately changed. In the illustrated example, as shown in FIG. 2(B), a peelable seal material 8 is attached to the upper end of the body peripheral wall 4. This seal material is removed during use. The seal material 8 also includes packing and the like.

[0018] The cap body 10 is a member externally fitted to the upper half portion 4b of the body peripheral wall 4 as shown in FIG. 1. The cap body 10 in the illustrated example integrally projects a circumferential (circular in the illustrated example) support frame 16 inward from the upper end of the mounting cylinder portion 12 for supporting the spatula 40 at both longitudinal ends (base end portion e1 and tip end portion e2 described later). However, these structures can be appropriately changed.

[0019] The mounting cylinder portion 12 is fitted to the outer surface of the upper half portion 4b of the body peripheral wall 4. In the illustrated example, a male screw portion 13 that engages with the female screw portion 5 is formed on the inner surface of the mounting cylinder portion 12. By screwing the mounting cylinder portion 12 onto the body peripheral wall 4, as shown in FIG. 1, the outer peripheral portion of the above-described seal material 8 can be sandwiched between the downward step portion 14 (described later) formed on the inner surface of the mounting cylinder portion 12 and the upper end surface of the body peripheral wall 4. Note that the downward step portion 14 is provided so as to be pressed against the upper end surface of the body peripheral wall 4 after the seal material 8 is removed. However, these structures can be appropriately changed. The upper end of the outer surface of the mounting cylinder portion 12 is integrally connected to the top cover 30 via a hinge 26. However, this structure can be modified as appropriate, and the hinge 26 may be omitted, allowing the cap body 10 and the top cover 30 to be formed as separate parts. In the illustrated example, as shown in Figure 2, an annular projection 20 is erected from the upper part of the mounting cylinder portion 12 (upper cylinder portion 12c, described later) to connect to the lid peripheral wall 34 side of the upper lid 30, described later. Furthermore, an upward-facing step 15 is provided around the upper end surface of the mounting cylinder portion 12, positioned outside the annular projection 20, for supporting the lid peripheral wall 34. Furthermore, as shown in Figure 2(B), the annular projection 20 is provided with an engagement rib 22 on the opposite side of the hinge 26 for engaging with the upper cover 30.

[0020] In this embodiment, the mounting cylinder portion 12 is formed by a lower cylinder portion 12a with a large inner diameter, an intermediate cylinder portion 12b with a medium inner diameter, and an upper cylinder portion 12c with a small inner diameter, as shown in Figure 1. The downward step portion 14 is formed between the inner surface of the upper cylinder portion 12c and the inner surface of the intermediate cylinder portion 12b, and the female thread portion 13 is formed on the inner surface of the lower cylinder portion 12a.

[0021] In this embodiment, the support frame 16 serves as a mounting portion for the base end e1 and tip end e2 of the spatula 40, as shown in Figure 1. This allows the spatula 40 to be held along the opening O of the body perimeter wall 4, reducing the risk of the contents of the container 2 adhering to the handle 40a of the spatula 40. The planar shape of the support frame 16 in the illustrated example is circumferential, connected to the upper cylindrical portion 12c of the mounting cylindrical portion 12, but its shape can be changed as appropriate as long as it can perform the aforementioned role. In the illustrated example, the support frame 16 has a stepped shape when viewed from the side, with a high step portion 16a on the outer circumference and a low step portion 16c on the inner circumference projecting inward via a vertical cylindrical portion 16b, but its shape can be changed as appropriate. In the illustrated example, the lower section 16c serves as a support for the spatula 40, and the spatula 40, supported by the lower section 16c, is surrounded by the vertical cylindrical section 16b. This ensures that even if the container is tilted slightly in the open state shown in Figure 2(B), the spatula 40 will not fall off the support frame 16 and will be stably supported. Furthermore, since the support frame 16 in the illustrated example is circular when viewed from above, the distance r from the center m of the support frame 16 to the inner edge of the support frame 16 is constant, as shown in Figure 2(A). Although not shown in the illustration, if, for example, the planar shape of the container body 2 and the support frame 16 were rectangular, and both ends of the spatula 40 were placed between the midpoints of two opposing sides of the support frame, the spatula 40 could fall into the container body 2 by changing its orientation in the direction of the diagonal of the rectangle. In contrast, in the illustrated example, the spatula 40 will not unexpectedly fall into the container body 2. In this embodiment, a circumferential rib 18 projecting upward is provided around the lower step portion 16c of the support frame 16. As shown in Figure 1, in an embodiment in which a spatula 40, which is positioned horizontally along the opening O, is supported at two points on both ends in the longitudinal direction, this circumferential rib 18 serves as a fulcrum that supports the base end e1 and tip end e2 of the spatula 40. With this configuration, after removing the sealing material 8, it is easy to grasp the handle portion 40a of the spatula 40 with your fingers. In the illustrated example, the circumferential rib 18 is attached to the inner circumferential end of the lower step portion 16c, but its arrangement can be changed as appropriate. Furthermore, in this embodiment, since the container body 2 and the cap body 10 are circular when viewed from above, the distance between two points in the diametrical direction of the circumferential support frame 16 is constant regardless of the direction of its diameter. For example, if the planar shape of the support frame 16 is rectangular, depending on the orientation of the spatula 40, one end of the spatula 40 may protrude outside the mounting cylinder portion 12 of the cap body 10, and may get caught between the cap body 10 and the top lid 30 when closing the top lid 30, potentially interfering with the closing operation. This embodiment eliminates such inconveniences. As shown in Figure 3(B), the circumferential rib 18 also serves as an engaging projection C for loosely engaging with the engaging recess D described later. These engaging projections C and D are means for regulating the position of the spatula 40, and are formed to engage with each other when the spatula 40 is placed in a fixed position, as described later. A tapered angular portion 19 is formed on the tip side of the circumferential rib 18 in the protruding direction, which tapers upward when viewed in cross-sectional shape. In the illustrated example, the angular portion 19 is formed over the entire circumferential direction of the circumferential rib 18, but this arrangement can be changed as appropriate, and it may be formed only on a part of the circumferential direction. In this specification, "fixed position" means a position on the support frame 16 where the spatula 40 can stably hold the container body, and in particular, when the support frame 16 is circumferential, a position where the spatula 40 oriented in the diametrical direction of the support frame 16 can be stably supported. For example, if there is a risk that one end of the spatula 40 may fall out of the inner edge of the support frame 16 into the container body 2, it cannot be said to be stable support. Furthermore, in this specification, "engagement" refers to the engagement of the engaging protrusions and engaging recesses so that the spatula can be stably supported. The specific structure of engagement does not have to be the "loose fit" shown in the illustrated example; for example, "fitting" is also acceptable. The term "angular part" refers to a portion of a cross-section that has an angular shape. Furthermore, "angular" refers to a shape in which a part is loosely fitted with a gap (play) that allows it to slide within the recess, and includes shapes with rounded edges (R) as shown in Figure 3(B). "Loose engagement" refers to a state in which the spatula is oriented approximately radially, and is engaged in such a way that its angular portion can disengage from the recess by sliding radially.

[0022] As shown in Figure 1, the top cover 30 is a component positioned on the upper part of the cap body 10 so as to cover the opening O of the body peripheral wall 4. The top cover 30 has a lid perimeter wall 34 suspended from the perimeter edge of the top plate 32, which is placed on the upward step portion 15, and the hinge 26 is connected to the side of this lid perimeter wall. In the illustrated example, as shown in Figure 1(A), a finger rest 35 is attached to the outer surface of the other side of the lid peripheral wall 34, and a projection is formed on the inner surface of the other side that detachably locks the engaging rib 22.

[0023] In this embodiment, a spatula holding means 36 is provided on the underside of the top plate 32 to hold the spatula 40 in a position where it is resting on the support frame 16. This is to prevent the spatula 40 from rattling horizontally inside the container when the lid is closed. The spatula holding mechanism 36 in the illustrated example is a holding cylinder that is vertically mounted concentrically with the lid peripheral wall 34 from the back surface of the top plate 32, and is in contact with or close to the inner surface of the vertical cylindrical portion 16b of the support frame 16. However, the structure of the spatula holding mechanism can be modified as appropriate.

[0024] As shown in Figure 1, the spatula 40 is a component that can be assembled inside the cap body 10 in a horizontal and lateral position along the opening O of the periphery wall 4. The "lateral position" refers to the position in which the width direction W of the spatula 40 is oriented horizontally, as shown in Figure 2(A). As shown in Figure 2(A), the spatula 40 has a handle on one side (base 40a) in the longitudinal direction L, and a scooping part on the other side (tip 40b) for scooping up contents. The end on the base 40a side (base end e1) and the end on the tip 40b side (tip end e2) are placed on the support frame 16. As shown in Figure 2(A), there are gaps a between the vertical cylindrical portion 16b of the support frame 16 and the tip e2 of the spatula 40, and between the vertical cylindrical portion 16b and the base end e1 of the spatula 40, respectively, which are the sliding allowances for the spatula 40. In the illustrated example, these gaps a also serve as insertion allowances for inserting the retaining cylinder 36 between each end of the spatula 40 and the vertical cylindrical portion 16b (see Figure 1).

[0025] In this invention, an engaging groove D is formed on the handle portion 40a of the spatula 40 for loosely fitting the engaging protrusion C. As shown in Figure 2(A), in this embodiment, the engagement groove D is formed as a groove-shaped recess 42 that traverses the handle portion 40a in the width direction W of the spatula 40. This recessed portion 42 is formed near the base end portion e1. In the illustrated example, recessed portions of the same shape are formed on both the upper and lower surfaces of the base portion 40a, but they may be formed on only one surface. The recessed portion 42 is a shallow recess when viewed from the width direction W, and has the same cross-sectional shape along its entire length in the width direction W. The recessed portion 42 shown in the figure has gentle slopes i on both sides of the recess bottom f, as shown in Figure 3(B), but this shape can be changed as appropriate. The arrangement of the aforementioned engaging protrusions C and engaging recesses D can be changed as appropriate. For example, although not shown in the diagram, the engaging protrusions C may be formed on the lower surface of the base end portion e1, and the engaging recesses D may be formed on the upper surface of the support frame 16.

[0026] In the above configuration, as shown in Figure 1, the spatula 40 is assembled to the cap body 10 along the opening O of the container body 2. This configuration ensures a place to store the spatula 40 with the contents adhering to its tip 40b after the contents removal operation described later, thereby preventing the spatula 40 from being lost. When using the container of the present invention for the first time, from the state shown in Figure 1, remove the cap body 10 from the outer wall 4 of the container body 2, remove the sealing material 8, and then reseal the cap body 10 to the outer wall 4 before use. The spatula 40 is simply placed on the support frame 16 of the cap body 10, and does not require the operation of clamping it between a pair of clamping pieces protruding from the mounting surface, as in the prior art. Therefore, simply by placing the spatula 40 on the support frame 16, the spatula 40 is held near the opening O of the container body 2. Furthermore, in this embodiment, since the support frame 16 is circumferential, the spatula 40 can be held in a position that does not interfere with the closing operation of the top lid 30 by placing both ends of the spatula 40 on any two points in the diametrical direction of the support frame 16. When placing the spatula 40 on the support frame 16, with the top cover 30 open, as shown in Figure 3(A), the tip 40b of the spatula 40 should be pointed downwards and abutted against the corner q between the vertical cylindrical portion 16b and the lower stepped portion 16c on one side of the support frame 16. Then, as indicated by the arrow, the spatula 40 should be tilted so that the base 40a of the spatula 40 is placed on the opposite side of the support frame 16. According to this procedure, when the base 40a of the spatula 40 is placed on the support frame 16, first, as shown by the solid line in Figure 3(B), the corner portion 19 of the support frame 16 enters the recessed portion 42 of the spatula 40, and then, as shown by the dashed line, the spatula 40 slides along the gentle slope i and is positioned on the bottom f side of the recessed portion 42. Therefore, the spatula 40 can be held in place. To remove the contents, simply grasp the handle 40a of the spatula 40 with your fingers and lift it up. In the state shown in Figure 1, only the base end e1 and tip e2 of the spatula 40, which are incorporated along the opening O, are placed on the circumferential support frame 16, which is the mounting surface. Therefore, your fingers will not touch the mounting surface and interfere with the operation of grasping the handle 40a. Then, the contents can be removed by inserting the tip 40b of the spatula 40, which is held by the handle 40a with the fingers, into the container 2.

[0027] According to the above configuration and operation, engaging grooves D and engaging protrusions C are formed on the lower surface of the base end e1 of the spatula 40 and the upper surface of the support frame 16, which engage with each other, so that the spatula 40 can be easily held in a predetermined position. Furthermore, since the support frame 16 on which the spatula 40 is placed is circumferential when viewed from above, the spatula 40 is less likely to accidentally fall into the container body 2. Since the angular portion 19 of the engaging projection C is loosely fitted into the engaging recess D, which is a recess, so as to be slidable in the radial direction R of the body periphery wall 4, the spatula 40 can be easily positioned in a predetermined location by sliding it in the radial direction R. Since the top lid 30 is provided with a spatula retaining mechanism 36, it is possible to prevent the spatula from shifting from its designated position.

[0028] Other embodiments of the present invention will be described below. In these descriptions, the same structures as those in the first embodiment will not be explained.

[0029] Figure 4 shows a second embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, an adsorption means 38 for adsorbing the spatula 40 is provided on the lower surface side of the upper lid 30. The suction means 38 is attracted to the spatula 40 when the top lid 30 is closed, and has sufficient suction force to lift the spatula 40 from the support frame 16 when the top lid 30 is opened again from this attracted state. In this embodiment, since the spatula 40 is simply placed on the support frame 16, the suction force of the suction means 38 should be designed to be greater than the weight of the spatula 40 itself. With this configuration, when the top lid 30 is opened, the spatula 40 moves from the container body 2 side to the top lid 30 side and becomes attached to the top lid 30. Therefore, as shown in Figure 4(A), the spatula 40 can be removed from the top lid 30 when it is inverted 180°. The suction means 38 in the illustrated example is formed as a disc-shaped suction sheet with a fitting hole 39 in the center and a certain thickness. It is fitted into the fitting hole 39 on a retaining cylinder 37 that protrudes from the back surface of the upper lid 30. With this configuration, as shown in Figure 4(B), a gap b corresponding to at least the thickness of the adhesive sheet 38 is created between the spatula 40, which has been moved to the top lid 30 side, and the underside of the top lid 30. Using this gap b as a gripping point, the spatula 40 can be removed by, for example, pulling up both sides of the spatula 40 in the width direction W with two fingers. Therefore, the spatula 40 is easier to grasp compared to, for example, a configuration in which the spatula is simply placed on the top surface of the container's top lid. The aforementioned adhesive sheet 38 can be reused by wiping off the dirt or removing and washing it if it becomes dirty and loses its adhesiveness. [Explanation of Symbols]
