Description

[Detailed description of the invention] "Field of industrial application" The present invention relates to a container with a lid body, in which a pair of container bodies for storing instant noodles, etc., are removably connected to form a single container.

"Prior Art" As this type of container, for example, the device disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 33-5881 is known.

The container has three small container bodies made by standing up a peripheral wall from the outer edge of the bottom wall, which is an arc-shaped notch at the main part of the fan-shaped container. It is closed with a lid and used as a storage container for sweets, etc. When the container is used, the lid is first removed, and then the three fan-shaped small containers are arranged in the shape of a large circular container. A bottom cylindrical body is fitted, and the upper end of the arcuate side wall of the small container body is fitted between the bottomed cylindrical body and a short circumferential wall hanging down from the upper end thereof via an outward flange. By connecting them together, a large circular container can be formed.

``Problem to be solved by the invention'' The conventional container described above has several small containers stacked together when not in use, which are connected to form a large circular container when in use. On the other hand, if there is a container that usually has two small containers connected and can be divided and used as separate small containers, for example, when two people eat the stored food, or if the two small containers are It is convenient because different foods can be stored in the container to vary the meals, and it is convenient because only one lid is needed for two small containers.

This proposal proposes such an easy-to-use container that can be divided and used when used.

"Means for Solving the Problem" A pair of left and right container bodies in which a first circumferential wall 3 stands up from the periphery of a bottom wall 2, and at least a portion of the outer surface of the first circumferential wall is formed into vertical plane plate parts 4, 4. With the container bodies 1, 1 and the vertical plane plate portions in contact with each other, the upper surfaces of both container bodies are closed by a top wall 10, and a second peripheral wall 11 is suspended from the periphery of the top wall. A lid body 9 is removably fitted to the upper outer surface of the first peripheral wall of both containers excluding the abutting surface portion.
The vertical plane plate parts 4, 4 have recesses 5, 5 with openings on the upper end faces facing each other, one recess is long and the other recess is short and vertically provided, and a lower wall portion of the lower end of the short recess is provided. A fork 13 is formed on the convex portion 6, and the convex portion is forcibly fitted into the lower end of a long vertically provided concave portion, and the fork 13 is inserted into a cylindrical hole whose lower end surface is closed, which is formed by the concave portions 5, 5 and the upper surface of the convex portion 6. , I stored chopsticks, etc.

"Operation" When the container of the present invention is opened, the upper parts of the pair of left and right containers are pinched and pulled apart in opposite directions, the lower parts of both containers are disconnected and separated, and at the same time, the cylindrical hole is disassembled and the fork etc. It can be taken out.

``Example'' The present container will be described with reference to the drawings. Reference numerals 1 and 1 denote a pair of left and right container bodies in which a first peripheral wall 3 stands up from the periphery of a bottom wall 2. At least a portion of the peripheral wall is formed into a vertical plane plate portion 4. It is also conceivable that the first peripheral wall portion other than the vertical plane plate portion has a semicircular cross section. Both vertical flat plate parts 4, 4 are vertically provided with recesses 5, 5 which are open on the upper end surface, and when the vertical flat plate parts of both container bodies are butted against each other, both recesses open a cylindrical hole closed at the lower end surface. One of the recesses is long and the other recess is short, and the lower wall of the lower end of the short recess is formed into a convex portion 6, and the convex portion is
It is formed so that it can be forcibly fitted into the lower end of a long vertical recess. As shown in the figure, protrusions 7, 7 and grooves 8, 8 are provided on the outer surface of the protrusion and the inner surface of the recess into which the protrusion is fitted, so that the protrusion does not easily come off from the recess due to these fittings. Good. With the above configuration, the bottom surface of the cylindrical hole formed by the facing recesses 5, 5 described above is formed on the upper surface of the convex portion. A fork 13, chopsticks, etc. are stored in the cylindrical hole.

The lid body 9 has a top wall 10 that closes each upper surface of both the container bodies with their vertical plane plate parts 4, 4 in contact with each other. A removable second circumferential wall 11 is vertically provided on the upper outer surface of the first circumferential wall of both containers except for the contacting surface portions. In addition, short cylindrical portions 12, 12 may be provided vertically from the lower surface of the top wall, and ingredients such as seaweed and sesame seeds may be placed in the short cylindrical portions to seal the lower surface.

"Effect of the invention" In this invention, the pair of left and right container bodies are provided with vertical flat plate parts 4, 4, respectively, and recesses 5, 5 with an upper end surface opening are vertically provided in both plate parts, and one of the recesses is long; The other recess is shortened to form a convex part 6 on the lower wall of the lower end, and the convex part is forcibly fitted into the lower end of the long recess, and a lid 9 is attached to the upper surface of both containers. Since they are removably fitted, both containers are connected at the bottom by the concave and convex portions, and at the top by the lid, so even if external force is applied to the containers, such as when they are hit by other objects, both containers will remain intact. Since the container body does not decompose, it is possible to eliminate the possibility that the two container bodies will separate during transportation. Furthermore, in this case, by connecting the two container bodies, the two recesses 5, 5 mentioned above face each other to form a cylindrical hole with an open upper end surface, and the lower end surface of the cylindrical hole is closed by the convex portion 6. It is convenient because the inside of the tube hole can be used as a storage room for fork etc.
When the container is used, by separating both container bodies, the cylindrical hole is divided and the fork etc. can be exposed, so that the fork etc. can be taken out from the cylindrical hole very easily. Furthermore, in the present invention, by separating the upper parts of both container bodies in the opposite left and right directions from the state in which the lid body 9 is removed, the gripping part is used as a point of effort, and the lower end edge of the vertical plane plate parts 4, 4 of both container bodies is used as a fulcrum, In addition, the principle of leverage is applied, with the force-fitting portion between the concave portion and the convex portion as the point of action.
The forcible fitting between the concave portion and the convex portion can be easily separated with a small force.
