[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, as far as the present inventor knows, a slide case that can be reused has not been proposed.
Moreover, in the conventional slide case, the minute flat V-shaped projection protruding from the top of the lid exceeds the partition wall for taking out the contents one by one while receiving a slight resistance, so that the lid is closed. In order to maintain, the above-mentioned V-shaped convex part is worn a little by repeated opening and closing operations, the stopper function is lowered, the closed state cannot be maintained, and the contents may come out in the pocket etc. .
[0007]
In addition, the protrusions protruding from the lid top surface as described above that engage with the partition wall and perform a stopper function move as the protrusion slides in the contents storage space as the cover slides. In the case where objects are overlapped with each other, a convex portion is caught on the contents, and the contents cannot be easily slid, or the contents may be damaged.
[0008]
Accordingly, an object of the present invention is a reusable slide case that can be easily maintained in the closed state of the lid, and the stopper function does not deteriorate even when repeatedly applied to the opening and closing operation. It is also to provide an easy slide case.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
A slide case of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an example of the slide case of the present invention, FIG. 2 shows a container of the slide case shown in FIG. 1, (A) is a plan view, and (B) is a left half side view. In the figure, the right half is a cross-sectional view along the line BB, and (C) is a cross-sectional view along the line CC. 3 shows a lid of the slide case shown in FIG. 1, wherein (A) is a plan view and (B) is a side sectional view. In the present specification, the upper side means the lid side, and the lower side means the container bottom side.
[0012]
The slide case 1 of the present invention includes a rectangular parallelepiped container 2 having an opening at the top, and a slide lid 20 that covers the container opening and is slidable along a rail provided in the container.
1 and 2, the container 2 generally includes a bottom surface 3 having a short side 4 and a long side 5, short side walls 6 a and 6 b corresponding to the short side 4 and the long side 5, and a long side wall. 7a and 7b. A slide rail groove 8 parallel to the long side 5 is formed above the long side walls 7 a and 7 b of the container 2.
[0013]
On one side (6b and 7a in the figure) of the short side wall 6 and the long side wall 7, inner side walls 9 and 10 parallel to the short side wall 6b and the long side wall 7a, respectively, are formed. The content storage space 11 is defined by 6a and the long side wall 7b. In addition, a partition 12 is formed on the short side wall 6a side of the content storage space to regulate the amount of content to be taken out.
[0014]
A plurality of recesses 13 are formed in the short side wall 6b and the long side wall 7a at predetermined intervals at substantially the center position in the vertical direction of the side wall. The recesses are formed inside the short side wall 6b and the long side wall 7a. A partition rib 14 is formed so as to protrude from the vicinity of the opening side of 13 in the vertical direction and reach the inner walls 9 and 10. The partitioning rib 14 may be the same height as the short side wall 6b, the long side wall 7a, and the inner side walls 9 and 10, but between the partitioning ribs 14a and 14b that define an open state and a closed state described later. The height of the positioning rib 14c is slightly lower.
On the other hand, on the short side wall 6a and the long side wall 7b where the concave portion 13 is not formed, a convex portion 15 having a cross-sectional shape that can be fitted to the shape of the concave portion 13 is formed at a position corresponding to the concave portion 13.
[0015]
On the other hand, the slide lid 20 is roughly described as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 3. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the top surface 23 composed of the short sides 21a and 21b and the long sides 22a and 22b, and the short surface hanging from the short side 21b. It consists of a skirt portion 24 and long skirt portions 25a and 25b depending from the long sides 22a and 22b. On the inner side of the long skirt portions 25a and 25b, a protrusion 26 that engages with the slide rail groove 8 provided in the container is formed. This allows the lid 20 to slide along the long side of the container.
Further, the inner surface side of the top surface 23 of the lid 20 is engaged with a space defined by the long side wall 7a and the inner side wall 10 of the container and is engaged with a predetermined partitioning rib 14a in the space in the opened state. A protrusion 27 is formed at a position to be stopped.
[0016]
Thereby, the closed state is restricted by the short skirt portion 24 of the lid 20 being engaged with the short side wall 6b of the container, and the open state is established by the projection 27 of the lid being engaged with the partition rib 14. Be regulated.
In the slide case of the present invention, it is particularly preferable that the distance between the outer wall and the inner wall is tapered so that the distance toward the closed position of the slide lid is reduced, and the partition rib with which the protrusion 27 contacts in the opened state 14a to the vicinity of the partitioning rib 14b where the projection 27 is located in the closed state, the distance between the long side wall 7a and the inner side wall 10 is a tapered shape. For example, the projection 27 is at least in the closed state. It is preferable that the taper has a small distance in the vicinity of the partitioning rib 14b. Thereby, the protrusion 27 is firmly held between the long side wall 7a and the inner side wall 10 in the closed state, and it is effectively prevented that the open state is opened unexpectedly.
[0017]
FIG. 4 is a side sectional view showing a state in which two slide cases shown in FIG. 1 are connected.
As described above, the slide case of the present invention has the concave portion 13 on one short side wall 6b and the long side wall 7a of the slide case, and the convex portion 15 on the other short side wall 6a and the long side wall 7b. Since the same number is formed at the position corresponding to the convex portion 15, the long side walls are adjacent to each other by arranging the slide cases of the present invention next to each other in the same direction (vertical direction and sliding direction of the lid). The convex portion 15 can be inserted into the concave portion 13. Moreover, since the shape of the concave portion 13 is a shape that matches at least the cross-sectional shape of the convex portion 15 near the base of the side wall, the convex portion 15 is completely fitted into the concave portion 13 when the convex portion 15 is completely inserted into the concave portion 13. As shown in FIG. 4, the two slide cases are connected to each other. Similarly, it becomes possible to have the same function as a block by combining several short side walls, long side walls, and the like.
[0018]
As is clear from FIG. 4, in the slide case of the present invention, the convex portion 15 is only inserted into the space 16 formed by the long side wall or the short side wall and the inner side wall, and the content storage space 11 is the inner side wall. 10, the sealing of the content storage space 11 by providing the concave portion 13 is not impaired, and the content is damaged by the inserted convex portion 15 or the content is free. Without disturbing the movement. Similarly, since the protrusion 27 provided on the inner surface side of the lid also moves in the space 16 formed by the long side wall or the short side wall and the inner side wall, the contents may be damaged by the protrusion, or the contents may be damaged. There is no hindrance to movement.
[0019]
In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the lower end 28 of the skirt portion of the lid is located on the same line as the upper side 17 of the opening 13 and the upper portion of the protrusion 15, but in the embodiment shown in FIG. The long skirt portion 25a of the lid corresponding to the long side wall 7a formed with the longer side is longer than the other long skirt portion 25b, the lower end thereof is positioned below the upper opening side 17 of the concave portion 13, and the concave portion 13 is It is formed so as to straddle both the side wall 7a and the skirt portion 25a.
In this way, the concave portion is formed so as to straddle both the long side wall of the container and the skirt portion of the lid, so that when the convex portion and the concave portion of two adjacent slide cases are fitted, the movement of the lid is ensured. Therefore, when a plurality of slide cases are used as a block or the like, it becomes easier to use.
[0020]
The slide case of the present invention is not limited to the specific examples shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, and various modifications can be made.
For example, although the number of convex parts and concave parts provided on the side surface of the slide case depends on the size of the slide case, about 4 to 8 can be provided on the long side and about 2 to 4 can be provided on the short side.
Moreover, the shape of a convex part and a recessed part can also be changed variously. For example, as the shape of the convex portion, a tip having a hemispherical shape and a circular cross-sectional shape may be employed, and a quadrangular cross-sectional shape may be employed. Further, as shown in the figure, the shape of the concave portion may be a quadrangle having the same size as the diameter of the cross-sectional shape of the convex portion, or of course, may be the same shape as the cross-sectional shape of the convex portion.
Further, in order to taper the distance between the long side wall and the inner side wall from the partition rib that defines the open state to the vicinity of the partition rib that defines the closed state, the inner side wall is It may be provided slightly obliquely, or the thickness of the inner side wall or the long side wall may be changed.
[0021]
The slide case of the present invention has an advantage that it has few undercut portions, can be forcibly removed from the mold, and can be easily molded, and can be easily molded by a conventionally known molding method such as injection molding or compression molding. . As the resin to be used, a resin capable of relatively increasing the surface hardness of a molded body such as a styrene resin or a polypropylene resin can be suitably used.
[0022]
