A mating recess 130 can be provided.

Next, FIGS. 3 and 4 show the inner lid peripheral portion 200 that constitutes the inner lid 500 of the garbage container 800 of the present invention. 3(a) is an overall perspective view of the inner lid peripheral part 200, FIG. 3(b) is a bottom view of the inner lid peripheral part 200, and FIG. 4(a) is a side view of the inner lid peripheral part 200. , FIG. 4(b) is a sectional view taken along line BB in FIG. 3(a).

This inner lid peripheral portion 200 has a slot 210 formed approximately in the center, and has a frame body having a short side 201 and a long side 202. The inner lid peripheral portion 200 is attached to the peripheral edge of an opening 730 of a container body 700, which will be described later, so that the input port 210 overlaps with the opening 730. Further, the upper surface of the inner lid peripheral portion 200 is a flat flange portion 203 that extends so as to surround the periphery of the inlet 210.

Furthermore, a lid plate abutment portion 220 extending downward from the flange portion 203 is provided on the short side 201 side of the inner lid peripheral portion 200. This lid plate abutting portion 220 is a portion that abuts on the lid plate 300 so that the lid plate 300, which will be described later, does not rotate upward relative to the input port 210. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, the cover plate abutting part 220 includes a flange part 221 that protrudes from the lower end side of the cover plate abutting part 220 toward the input port 210 side, and a flange part 221 that extends downward from the flange part 221. A covering part 222 is provided. Then, as will be described later, the lid plate 300 comes into contact with the flange 221 of the lid plate abutting part 220, and the lid plate 300 is restricted from rotating upwards beyond the input port 210. . Further, since the flange 221 of the lid plate abutting part 220 has a shape that is inclined toward the center part 223 of the lid plate abutting part 220, the lid plate 300 in contact with the flange 221 is It will be closed diagonally so as to incline towards 223. Since the lid plate division piece 400 is closed obliquely toward the bottom of the input port 210, opening the lid plate division piece 400 slightly downward will open the input port 210 wide, allowing the garbage etc. This makes it easier to invest.

Further, on the back side of the long side 202 of the inner lid peripheral portion 200, a bearing portion 230 is provided for pivotally connecting the lid plate division piece 400 of the lid plate 300 with a hinge. The bearing portion 230 has a cylindrical shape so as to be able to pivotally support a shaft portion 410 of a cover plate division piece 400, which will be described later. Further, the bearing portion 230 is formed with a slit 231 having a width L2 that is approximately the same as the width L1 on the shorter side of the shaft portion 410 of the cover plate division piece 400. This slit 231 is used to insert the shaft portion 410 of the cover plate division piece 400 into the inside of the bearing portion 230 . Note that the width L2 of the slit 231 is approximately the same as the width L1 of the shaft portion 410 of the cover plate division piece 400 not only when the width L1 and the width L2 are equal, but also when the shaft portion 410 extends from the slit 231 inside the bearing portion 230. This also includes the case where the width L2 of the slit 231 is larger or smaller than the width L1 of the shaft portion 410 of the cover plate division piece 400, as long as it can be inserted into the slit 231.

Further, on the back side of the long side 202 of the inner lid peripheral portion 200, a secondary bearing portion 240 is provided for pivotally connecting the lid plate division piece 400 of the lid plate 300 with a hinge. The sub-bearing part 240 has a cylindrical shape so as to be able to pivotally support a sub-shaft part 420 of a cover plate division piece 400 described later, but unlike the bearing part 230, the slit 231 is not provided. Therefore, the secondary shaft part 420 of the cover plate divided piece 400 can be inserted only through the opening 241 of the secondary bearing part 240. In addition, since a spring S is attached to the secondary shaft part 420 inserted into the secondary bearing part 240 as described later, in order to prevent the other end S2 of the spring S from coming off, the secondary shaft part 420 is inserted into the secondary bearing part 240. A retaining portion 242 is provided at a location where the connector is attached. A pair of bearing parts 230 and a sub-bearing part 240 are provided on each of the long sides 202 on both sides of the inner lid peripheral part 200, and this pair of bearing parts 230 and sub-bearing parts 240 allow A lid plate division piece 400 of a lid plate 300, which will be described later, is hinged so as to be openable and closable.

Next, FIG. 5 shows a lid plate division piece 400 that constitutes the lid plate 300 of the inner lid 500 of the garbage container 800 of the present invention. In addition, FIG. 5(a) is an overall perspective view of the lid plate division piece 400, FIG. 5(b) is a top view of the lid plate division piece 400, and FIG. 5(c) is a perspective view of the lid plate division piece 400. C sectional view and FIG. 5(d) are DD sectional views of FIG. 5(b).

The lid plate division piece 400 is a substantially rectangular plate member, and a substantially cylindrical shaft portion 410 and a subshaft portion 420 are provided on one long side 401 side. This shaft portion 410 is configured to be inserted into and pivotally supported by the bearing portion 230 of the inner lid peripheral portion 200. Further, as shown in FIG. 5(c), the shaft portion 410 has a substantially elliptical cross-sectional shape perpendicular to the axial direction, and the width L1 of the narrow portion 411 on the short side is the width of the inner lid peripheral edge. The width L2 is approximately the same as the width L2 of the slit 231 of the bearing portion 230 of No. 200. Further, the width L3 of the wide part 412 on the longitudinal side of the shaft part 410 is larger than the width L2 of the slit 231, so that the wide part 412 on the longitudinal side does not come off from the slit 231. Note that the shaft portion 410 is not limited to the shape shown in FIG. It may also have an oval-like shape.

On the other hand, the secondary shaft portion 420 is configured to be inserted into and pivotally supported by the secondary bearing portion 240 of the inner lid peripheral portion 200. As shown in FIG. 5, this sub-shaft portion 420 has a perfect circular cross section perpendicular to the axial direction, and a spring S is fitted from the tip 421 side. Moreover, one end S1 of this spring S is in contact with a part of the long side 401 of the cover plate division piece 400 on the base end 422 side of the sub-shaft part 420.

Further, a stepped portion 431 is provided at the tip 430 on the other long side 401 side so that the tips 430 of the opposing lid plate division pieces 400 can easily overlap vertically. Further, the upper surface 402 of the lid plate division piece 400 is an inclined surface that slopes toward the tip 430. Furthermore, a pressing portion 440 that protrudes upward is provided on the upper surface 402 along the short side 403 of the lid plate division piece 400. The upper surface 441 of this pressing part 440 is inclined opposite to the inclination direction of the upper surface 402 of the lid plate division piece 400, and as described later, the lid plate division piece 400 is attached to the inner lid peripheral part 200. At this time, the upper surface 441 of the pressing portion 440 becomes a substantially horizontal surface. In this way, since the upper surface 441 of the pressing part 440 becomes a horizontal surface, the user can easily open the lid plate division piece 400 by pressing the pressing part 440. Note that the upper surface 441 of the pressing portion 440 is not limited to a horizontal surface, and the upper surface 441 of the pressing portion 440 may be an inclined surface where the tip 430 side slopes upward or a slope where the tip 430 side slopes downward. good. If the upper surface 441 of the pressing section 440 is an upwardly inclined surface, the pressing section 440 can be pushed more easily.

Note that the height of the pressing portion 440 is set so that the pressing portion 440 does not protrude above the flange portion 203 of the inner lid peripheral portion 200. Since the pressing part 440 does not protrude above the flange part 203 of the inner lid peripheral part 200, the height of the inner lid 500 can be made more compact, and the same parts can be stacked and placed inside the container body. When transporting, the stacking height can be lowered, and since there are no protruding parts, the stacking can be done stably. Note that the height of the pressing portion 440 is not limited to the case where the pressing portion 440 does not protrude above the flange portion 203 of the inner lid peripheral portion 200, and the height of the pressing portion 440 is adjusted to make it easier to press the lid plate division piece 400. 440 may be set so as to protrude above the flange portion 203 of the inner lid peripheral portion 200.

In addition, in order to take off the inner lid 500 when attaching the bag to the garbage container 800 or when taking out the garbage inside, a convex portion or a recessed portion is provided on the inner lid peripheral portion 200 or the lid plate division piece 400, so that a finger can be caught. You can do it like this. Alternatively, the pressing portion 440 may be provided at the center of the lid plate division piece 400 so that it can be pinched with fingers.

Next, FIG. 6 shows the inner lid 500 of the garbage container 800 of the present invention. Note that FIG. 6(a) is an overall perspective view of the inner lid 500, FIG. 6(b) is a sectional view taken along line EE in FIG. 6(a), and FIG. 6(c) is a sectional view taken along line F in FIG. -F sectional view.

As shown in FIG. 6, the lid plate 300 of the inner lid 500 is composed of a pair of lid plate division pieces 400, and each lid plate division piece 400 is attached to the inner lid peripheral part 200 so as to face each other. . Specifically, each lid plate division piece 400 first inserts the tip 421 of the secondary shaft part 420 into the secondary bearing part 240 of the inner lid peripheral part 200, and in that state, inserts the narrow part 411 of the shaft part 410 into the inner lid. It is inserted into the slit 231 of the bearing part 230 of the peripheral part 200. Then, as shown in FIG. 6(a), the shaft part 410 of the lid plate division piece 400 is rotatably supported by the bearing part 230, and the sub-shaft part 420 is rotatably supported by the sub-bearing part 240. The piece 400 is easily attached to the inner lid peripheral portion 200.

In this way, as shown in FIG. 6(c), the lid plate division pieces 400 on both sides are rotatably attached to open and close the slot 210 by the hinge connection by the bearing part 230 and the shaft part 410. be. Further, the shaft portion 410 has a substantially elliptical shape, and the width L1 on the shorter side is approximately the same as the width L2 of the slit 231 of the bearing portion 230 of the inner lid peripheral portion 200. Since the shorter side can only be removed through the slit 231 of the bearing portion 230, it is possible to effectively prevent the lid plate division piece 400 from accidentally coming off and falling out from the inner lid peripheral portion 200.

Note that each lid plate segment 400 can rotate around the shaft portion 410 and sub-shaft portion 420, but since it is biased by the spring S in the direction of closing the input port 210, as shown in FIG. 6(c) Thus, the input port 210 can always be kept closed by the cover plate division piece 400. Specifically, one end S1 of the spring S attached to the sub-shaft portion 420 abuts a part of the long side 401 of the lid plate division piece 400 on the rotating side, and the other end S2 of the spring S , is locked to a retaining portion 242 of the inner lid peripheral portion 200, which is the fixed side. Therefore, when the cover plate division piece 400 is rotated to open downward, one end S1 side is compressed toward the other end S2, so the cover plate division piece 400 is rotated upward by the restoring force of the spring S. As a result, the input port 210 can always be kept closed by the cover plate division piece 400.

Further, as shown in FIG. 6(c), the shaft portion 410 of the lid plate division piece 400 is supported by the bearing portion 230, but even if the lid plate division piece 400 is opened widely downward, the shaft portion 410 is This makes it possible to more effectively prevent it from coming off the bearing part 230. Specifically, the slit 231 of the bearing part 230 is arranged to open toward the opposite side of the input port 210, and the narrow part 411 of the shaft part 410 opens into the slit while the cover plate division piece 400 is rotating. 231, it is possible to effectively prevent the lid plate division piece 400 from coming off from the bearing portion 230 of the inner lid peripheral portion 200.

Further, as shown in FIG. 6(c), since the pressing part 440 protrudes upward from the upper surface 402, when the user opens the lid plate division piece 400 downward, if the user presses the pressing part 440 with his/her hand, It is possible to prevent a hand from being caught between the lid plate division pieces 400 on both sides. Furthermore, since the upper surface 441 of the pressing part 440 of the lid plate division piece 400 is approximately horizontal when the lid plate division piece 400 closes the inlet 210, the user can easily press the pressing part 440. . Note that the shape of the pressing portion 440 may be round or square, and may be any shape. Alternatively, a single plate connected to the inner lid peripheral portion 200 by a hinge may be made to protrude inwardly, and the lid plate divided piece 400 may be opened by pushing the single plate.

Further, as shown in FIG. 6(b), the short side 403 of the lid plate division piece 400 is in contact with the flange portion 221 of the lid plate contact portion 220 of the inner lid peripheral portion 200. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the lid plate division piece 400 from being erroneously opened above the input port 210. Further, since the flange portion 221 is inclined toward the center portion 223, the lid plate division piece 400 in contact with the flange portion 221 is also inclined toward the center portion 223. Since the lid plate division piece 400 is closed obliquely toward the bottom of the input port 210, opening the lid plate division piece 400 slightly downward will open the input port 210 wide, allowing the garbage etc. This makes it easier to invest.

Furthermore, as shown in FIGS. 6(b) and 6(c), when the input port 210 is closed by the lid plate segment 400, the tips 430 of the lid plate segment 400 overlap each other, so that the inner lid 500 When the container body 700 is attached to cover the opening 730 of the container body 700, it is possible to prevent odors such as dirt from leaking from the opening 730 of the container body 700 to the outside as much as possible. In addition, since the lid plate segment 400 of the lid plate 300 is an injection molded body made of synthetic resin, the lid plate segment 400 of the lid plate 300 has enough rigidity that its shape does not deform when opening and closing. The input port 210 can be closed reliably, and the leakage of odors such as garbage from the container body 700 to the outside can be more effectively prevented. In addition, not only the cover plate divided piece 400 but also the entire garbage container 800 may be made of synthetic resin such as polypropylene. Further, the airtightness within the garbage container may be improved by providing a packing at the tip 430 of the divided lid plate piece 400 or by providing a packing around the periphery of the divided lid plate piece 400.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 6(b), the short side 403 side of the lid plate division piece 400 is covered from the side by the covering part 222 of the lid plate abutting part 220, so that the outside is exposed from the short side 403 side. It can prevent odors such as garbage from leaking out. Further, since the central portion 223 side of the covering portion 222 extends further downward than the tip 430 of the lid plate division piece 400, the tip 430 of the lid plate division piece 400 is covered from the short side 403 side. Therefore, it is possible to prevent odor such as dirt from leaking from the short side 403 side of the tip 430 to the outside.

In addition, in FIG. 6, the pair of lid plate division pieces 400 of the lid plate 300 are provided on both long sides 202 of the inner lid peripheral portion 200, but the pair of lid plate division pieces 400 are not limited to this. The lid plate division pieces 400 may be provided on both short sides 201 of the inner lid peripheral portion 200 and configured to open and close the input port 210. Moreover, although the shaft portion 410 of the lid plate division piece 400 has a substantially elliptical shape, it is not limited to this, and may have a perfect circular shape. Further, the shaft portion 410 is provided on the lid plate division piece 400 side, and the bearing portion 230 is provided on the inner lid peripheral portion 200 side, but the present invention is not limited to this. The shaft portion 410 may be provided on the lid peripheral portion 200 side. Further, when the lid plate divided piece 400 rotates, the lid plate divided piece 400 is twisted, and in order to prevent the ends 430 of the lid plate divided piece 400 from overlapping with each other, the lid plate divided piece 400 is By providing springs at four locations and making the biasing forces of the springs equal, it is possible to suppress twisting of the lid plate division piece 400. Furthermore, by changing the biasing force of the spring of the lid plate division pieces 400, it is possible to arbitrarily determine the order in which each of the pair of lid plate division pieces 400 closes, thereby suppressing twisting when the lid plate division pieces 400 are closed. be able to.

FIG.

As shown in FIG. 8, the container body 700 includes a substantially rectangular bottom wall 710, a side wall 720 rising upward from the periphery of the bottom wall 710, and an opening 730 surrounded by the side wall 720 and opening upward. A flat flange portion 741 is provided at an upper portion 740 of the periphery of the opening 730 in the circumferential direction of the opening 730 . Further, a fitting convex portion 742 that protrudes upward from the flange portion 741 is provided along the periphery of the opening portion 730 . Furthermore, a locking step 743 is provided inside the fitting convex portion 742 along the periphery of the opening 730 .

Further, an opening/closing operation section 750 is provided on the flange section 741 on the front side of the container body 700, and this opening/closing operation section 750 has a concave engaging section with which the locking claw 121 of the lid 100 engages. 751 is provided. Further, the opening/closing operation section 750 is rotatably attached to the flange section 741 by a hinge section 752, and when the opening/closing operation section 750 is pushed from above, the opening/closing operation section 750 rotates forward around the hinge section 752. (See arrow in FIG. 8(a)). Furthermore, a spring 753 is built into the opening/closing operation section 750, and urges the opening/closing operation section 750 to rotate rearward around the hinge section 752. Therefore, when the opening/closing operation section 750 rotates forward, the spring 753 rotates the opening/closing operation section 750 in the opposite direction so as to restore the original state. Since the opening/closing operation part 750 is urged to rotate rearward by the spring 753, the locking claw 121 of the lid body 100 and the engaging part 751 can maintain an engaged state, which will be described later. In this way, the lid 100 can be prevented from being opened inadvertently.

Further, the flange portion 741 on the rear side of the container body 700 is provided with a cutout portion 760 cut out inside, and the hinge piece 600 is attached to the cutout portion 760. Specifically, by inserting and pivotally supporting the connecting shaft 630 of the hinge piece 600 into the recess 762 of the connecting part 761 provided in the notch 760, the hinge piece 600 is rotatably connected to the connecting part 761. will be done. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 8(c), an upper protrusion 763 and a lower protrusion 764 are provided on the outer surface of the fitting protrusion 742 around the notch 760. The other end P2 of the spring P, which will be described later, is sandwiched and locked.

Next, with reference to FIGS. 9 to 11, a method of assembling the garbage container 800 of the present invention and an open/closed state of the lid 100 of the garbage container 800 will be described. Note that the garbage container 800 includes a lid 100, an inner lid 500, a hinge piece 600, and a container body 700, and can optionally include an auxiliary frame 510, which will be described later. When the auxiliary frame 510 is locked to the locking step portion 743, the bag can be secured by being locked together with the bag. Further, FIG. 9 is an overall perspective view showing each member constituting the garbage container 800 in an exploded manner, and FIG. 10(a) is an overall perspective view of the assembled garbage container 800, with the lid 100 open. FIG. 10(b) is a side view of the lid 100 in a closed state, and FIG. 11(a) is an enlarged view of the area around the hinge piece 600 in the state shown in FIG. 10(a). FIG. 11(b) is a sectional view taken along line GG in FIG. 11(a), and FIG. 11(c) is a sectional view taken along line HH in FIG. 11(a).

First, as shown in FIG. 9, the auxiliary frame 510 is locked to the locking step 743 of the container body 700, and the inner lid 500 is placed on the locking step 743 and the auxiliary frame 510. Then, the inner lid 500 is attached so as to cover the opening 730 of the container body 700. The inner lid 500 does not fall into the opening 730 because the inner lid peripheral portion 200 locks onto the locking step portion 743 and the auxiliary frame 510. Further, since the periphery of the inner lid peripheral portion 200 is surrounded by the fitting convex portion 742, the inner lid 500 does not shift from the opening 730 in the horizontal direction. In this way, the inner lid 500 is attached to the container body 700 so that the state of covering the opening 730 can be stably maintained. Note that the auxiliary frame 510 is formed continuously so as to go around the opening 730 in the circumferential direction, and is configured to be able to be locked to the locking step portion 743.

Next, the hinge piece 600 is attached to the notch 760 of the container body 700. Specifically, the connecting shaft 630 of the hinge piece 600 is inserted into the recess 762 of the connecting portion 761 to be pivotally supported. At that time, the spring P is held and accommodated in the recess 640 by the holding piece 641 (see FIG. 7) of the recess 640 of the hinge piece 600, and one end P1 of the spring P is locked to the locking piece 642, and the other The end P2 is engaged with an upper protrusion 763 and a lower protrusion 764 (see FIG. 8(c)) of the notch 760. In this way, the spring P is attached between the container body 700 and the hinge piece 600 so as not to come off.

Next, the hinge piece 600 is inserted into the insertion recess 150 of the lid body 100 and attached. Specifically, the protrusion 151 of the insertion recess 150 is inserted into the insertion hole 610 of the hinge piece 600, and the locking claw 620 of the hinge piece 600 is engaged with the engagement part 152 of the insertion recess 150. Then, as shown in FIG. 10A, the hinge piece 600 is firmly attached to the insertion recess 150 of the lid 100, and the lid 100 is attached to the container body 700 via the hinge piece 600. Since the hinge piece 600 is rotatably connected to the connecting part 761 of the container body 700, the lid 100 is attached to the container body 700 by the hinge piece 600, as shown in FIGS. 10(a) and (b). It will be attached so that it can be opened and closed. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 10(b), the locking claw 121 of the lid 100 engages with the engaging portion 751 of the opening/closing operation section 750, so that the lid 100 can be maintained in a closed state. Further, if the opening/closing operation part 750 is pressed, the opening/closing operation part 750 rotates forward, and the engagement part 751 and the locking pawl 121 are disengaged, so that the lid body is closed as shown in FIG. 10(a). 100 is in an open state.

Further, as shown in FIG. 11(b), the lid 100 is attached to the connecting portion 761 of the container body 700 by a hinge piece 600 so as to be openable and closable. Since it is biased, when the opening/closing operation part 750 is pressed and the lid 100 and the opening/closing operation part 750 are disengaged, the lid 100 automatically opens. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 11(c), one end P1 of the spring P engages with the locking piece 642 of the hinge piece 600 on the rotating side, and the other end P2 of the spring P engages with the locking piece 642 of the hinge piece 600 on the fixed side. 700, so when the lid body 100 is closed from the state shown in FIG. 11(c), one end P1 side of the spring P is compressed toward the other end P2. Therefore, the restoring force of the spring P urges the lid 100 in the opening direction. As a result, when the opening/closing operation section 750 is pressed, the lid 100 automatically opens.

Next, how to use the garbage container 800 will be explained. When a user of the garbage container 800 discards garbage or the like into the garbage container 800, the user first presses the opening/closing operation section 750 to open the lid 100 as shown in FIG. 10(a). Next, the pressing portion 440 of the lid plate division piece 400 of the inner lid 500 is pressed downward, the lid plate division piece 400 is rotated downward, and the input port 210 is opened. Then, garbage or the like is thrown into the container body 700 from the opened input port 210 through the opening 730 of the container body 700. When the user releases his/her hand from the pressing portion 440 of the lid plate division piece 400, the lid plate division piece 400 automatically closes the input port 210 by the biasing force of the spring S, returning to the state shown in FIG. 10(a). . Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 10(b), when the user closes the lid 100, the lid 100 covers the inner lid 500, so that the inner lid 500 is no longer visible from the outside. Note that the side wall of the opening/closing operation section 750 on the side where the engaging section 751 is provided, that is, the side wall of the opening/closing operation section 750 on the lid body 100 side is provided to stand approximately perpendicular to the flange section 741. Therefore, the gap between the opening/closing operation section 750 and the lid body 100 can be reduced.

As described above, according to the garbage container 800 of the present invention, since the inner lid 500 is provided to cover the opening 730 of the container main body 700, when opening the lid 100 and disposing of garbage, it is possible to dispose of the garbage as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 2, since the contents such as garbage inside the container main body 700 are not directly visible from the outside, it is possible to minimize discomfort to the user. Furthermore, by providing the inner lid 500, even if the lid 100 is opened, odors are prevented from escaping until garbage is thrown in, and odors are prevented from escaping even when the lid 100 is closed after garbage is thrown in. I am trying my best to prevent this. Furthermore, when the lid 100 is closed, the lid 100 and the periphery of the opening 730 of the container body 700 come into contact, and the fitting protrusion 742 fits into the fitting recess 130 in which the packing 140 is installed. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the odor from the garbage and the like stored inside the container main body 700 from leaking to the outside, and to minimize discomfort to the user.

In addition, in FIG. 10(a), at the contact point between the lid 100 and the periphery of the opening 730 of the container body 700, a fitting recess 130 is formed on the lid 100 side, and a fitting protrusion 742 is formed on the container main body 700 side. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the fitting protrusion 742 may be provided on the lid 100 side, and the fitting recess 130 may be provided on the container body 700 side.

Furthermore, according to the garbage container 800 of the present invention, the lid plate 300 of the inner lid 500 is composed of the pair of lid plate division pieces 400, and the pressing part 440 is provided on the upper surface of the lid plate division piece 400. By opening and closing the lid plate 300 by pressing the pressing portion 440 when disposing of garbage or the like into the garbage container 800, it is possible to prevent the user from getting his/her hand caught in the lid plate 300.

In addition, in the garbage container 800 of the present invention, the lid plate 300 of the inner lid 500 is composed of a pair of lid plate division pieces 400, but the lid plate 300 is not limited to this, and the lid plate 300 opens and closes the input port 210. If possible, it may be composed of one opening/closing plate or three or more opening/closing plates.

Further, according to the garbage container 800 of the present invention, the hinge piece 600 inserted into the lid body 100 is rotatably connected to the connecting part 761 of the upper part 740 of the container body 700, and the lid body 100 is connected by the hinge piece 600. Since it is openable and closable, the portion forming the hinge connection between the lid 100 and the container body 700 can be prevented from protruding largely to the outside of the container body 700, and the entire garbage container 800 can be made compact. Specifically, in conventional garbage containers, the edge of the lid and the mouth frame of the container body were hinged, so the part that made up this hinge connection was extended outward from the opening of the container body. It stood out. However, according to the garbage container 800 of the present invention, most of the hinge connection is formed by a hinge piece 600 that is separate from the lid 100 and the container body 700, and the hinge piece 600 is inserted into the lid 100. It has a simple configuration in which an insertion recess 150 is provided for attaching the garbage container, and a connecting portion 761 for connecting the hinge piece 600 is provided on the container main body 700 side, so that the protrusion of the part constituting the hinge connection to the outside can be reduced. This made the entire 800 compact.

Note that the lid body 100, inner lid 500, hinge piece 600, and container body 700 of the garbage container 800 of the present invention are manufactured by injection molding synthetic resin, but are not limited to this, and can be manufactured by any suitable method. Any material and manufacturing method can be used. Further, the garbage container of the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and various modifications and combinations are possible within the scope of the claims and the embodiments, and these modifications, Combinations are also included within the scope of the right.
