Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Field of Application) The present invention relates to improvements in containers for cultivating mushrooms, particularly those used in so-called bottle cultivation of shiitake mushrooms, nameko mushrooms, and the like.

(Conventional technology) In the past, shiitake mushrooms were generally cultivated using logs of various broad-leaved trees such as oak and sawtooth oak, but in recent years, with the aim of effectively utilizing resources, cultivation containers in the shape of vertical wide-mouthed bottles have been developed. Artificial cultivation using

As an example of a cultivation container used for the artificial cultivation of shiitake mushrooms, as shown in FIG. A container body 4 having a neck 3 integrally formed therein; and a lid 6 having a ventilation hole in which a filter member 5 which can be freely closed is attached to the upper opening edge of the neck 3.
and a cylindrical bottom cover 7 which is removably screwed onto the lower opening edge of the body 1. This mushroom cultivation container contains sawdust, bran,
A culture medium 8 mainly made of rice bran or the like is filled, inoculated with inoculum, and the culture medium 8 which has become a lump with mycelium spread inside the culture medium 8 is taken out from the container body 4 with the bottom lid 7 attached. Then, the top surface inoculated with the inoculum was cut flat, or the top surface was taken out and given a shock to the culture medium to cause the mushrooms to sprout.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) However, in the case of such conventional mushroom cultivation containers, the culture medium 8 filled in the cultivation container
After culturing, the culture medium 8 becomes a lump and is housed in the container body 4 and the bottom lid 7 in close contact with each other. Therefore, it is impossible to remove the culture medium 8 which has become a lump from the container main body 4 with the bottom lid 7 attached. It was difficult. Further, if the culture medium 8 is forcibly removed from the container body 4, there is a problem that the container body 4 itself may be damaged.

The present invention was developed in view of these conventional problems and to solve them. Even if the culture medium is stored in close contact with the cultivation container, it is possible to transfer the adhered culture medium to the container body with a simple operation. The object of the present invention is to provide a container for cultivating mushrooms that can be easily removed from the container.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The gist of the present invention in order to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems and achieve the intended purpose is that a shoulder portion is integrally molded on the upper end of a cylindrical body. , a container body having a cylindrical neck integrally molded on the upper end of the shoulder, a lid that can be attached to the upper opening edge of the neck, and a lid detachably screwed to the lower opening edge of the body. In the container for cultivating mushrooms, the bottom cover is provided with a cylindrical bottom cover, in which at least one or more protrusions are formed on the inner surface of the bottom cover, and a bottom cover rotation is formed on the lower surface of the bottom cover. The container for cultivating mushrooms is characterized in that a locking portion for operating the container body is formed, and a locking portion for rotating the container body is formed on the upper surface of the shoulder portion of the container body.

(Function) In this mushroom cultivation container, even if the culture medium is housed in the container in close contact with the culture medium, the protrusion formed on the inner surface of the bottom cover locks the culture medium, so that the container body can be rotated. If the locking part for operation and the locking part for rotational operation of the bottom cover are rotated in the relative direction to each other,
The threaded connection between the container body and the bottom cover is unraveled, and only the container body can be removed.

(Example) Next, an example of implementation of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5.

A in the figure is a mushroom cultivation container according to the present invention. This container A for cultivating mushrooms is entirely made of synthetic resin material, and consists of a container body 10, a lid 20, and a bottom lid 30.

This container body 10 has a shoulder 12 integrally molded on the upper end of a cylindrical body 11, a cylindrical neck 13 integrally molded on the upper end of the shoulder 12, and an inner periphery of the lower end of the body 11. A female thread 14 is integrally molded on the holder. An annular step 15 with a small diameter opening is formed inside the upper end of the female screw 14, and an annular protrusion 16 is integrally molded on the inside and lower side of the step 15 in the circumferential direction. Further, on the upper surface of the shoulder portion 12 of this container body 10, the container body 1
Four locking parts 17 for rotating the body part 11 are integrally formed on all sides from the upper end of the body part 11 to the lower end of the neck part 13.

The lid body 20 has an upper opening edge 1 of the neck portion 13.
3a, and this lid body 20
A filter member 21 and a ventilation hole 22 are provided.

The bottom cover 30 has a cylindrical shape with a bottom, and a rising wall 32 is integrally formed on the peripheral edge of a circular bottom plate portion 31, and a male thread 33 is integrally formed on the outer peripheral surface of the rising wall 32. ing. The male thread 33 of the bottom cover 30 and the female thread 14 of the container body 10 are removably screwed together, and when they are screwed together, the tip 34 of the male screw 33 is screwed together as shown in FIG.
It comes into contact with the stepped portion 15 of the container body 10 and is locked by an annular protrusion 16 formed inside the stepped portion 15 in the circumferential direction.

Further, on the inner surface of the bottom plate portion 31 of the bottom cover 30,
Four circular protrusions 35 are formed, and the protrusions 35, 35, . . . are formed in a concave shape from the lower surface of the bottom plate portion 31. These protrusions 35, 35... are for locking the culture medium 40 mainly made of sawdust etc. to be filled into the cultivation container.
The number of protrusions 35 is not particularly limited as long as it can lock the protrusions 35, and it is sufficient that at least one protrusion 35 is formed on the inner surface of the bottom cover 30. Further, the recessed portions formed by the formation of the protrusions 35 serve as locking portions 36, 36, . . . for rotational operation of the bottom cover 30.
Note that the locking portions 36, 36... are the projections 35,
Although the concave portion formed by the formation of 35 is used as a locking portion, if the bottom cover 30 can be rotated, a new locking portion for rotational operation may be provided on the bottom plate portion 31. It's good.
