It is an external view of one form of the slide type container of the present invention. It is a figure which illustrates another form of a fitting projection. It is explanatory drawing of a mode that a tray is pulled out from the slide type container of this invention. It is an external view of the aspect which removed the attachment clip from the slide type container of this invention. It is a figure which illustrates another form of a window. It is a figure which illustrates another form of knob.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Note that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described below.

  FIG. 1 is an external view of one embodiment of the slide type container of the present invention. FIG. 1A is a plan view, and FIG. 1B is a front view. The slide type container 1 of the present invention includes a cylindrical outer case 10 having one end opened and the other end closed, a storage part 24 for storing contents, and a tray 20 having a knob 21 at an end. The outer case 10 has a fitting hole 11 at one open end, that is, near the end on the side where the tray 20 is inserted.

  Further, a window 12 is provided so that the inside can be seen through and the state of the contents can be visually checked. Further, when the content is a fragrance or the like, it serves as a discharge port for volatilizing the content, and when the content is a deodorant or the like, it serves as an outside air absorption port. Further, a mounting clip 13 is provided on the opposite side of the window 12, and the sliding type container 1 can be mounted by sandwiching an edge of, for example, a pocket of clothes with the mounting clip 13, so that the container can be conveniently carried. Has become. The mounting clip 13 can be removed from the outer case 10.

  The tray 20 has a storage portion 24 which is a concave flat surface so as to store contents, and a knob 21 which is not inserted into the outer case 10 is provided at one end. The fitting protrusion 22 protrudes between the storage part 24 and the knob 21. The fitting protrusion 22 and the fitting hole 11 have substantially the same planar shape, for example, a circular shape as illustrated in FIG. 1, and are provided at positions where the tray 20 fits when the tray 20 is stored in the outer case 10. Have been. By inserting the tray 20 while sliding it from one open end of the outer case 10, a portion other than the knob 21 can be stored in the outer case 10.

  The knob 21 branches up and down by a slit 23, and is composed of two knobs 21A and 21B provided at an interval. The knobs 21A and 21B have a frame shape in a shape following the outer shape of the outer case 10, and the central portion 21C is hollow, so that it is easily deformed elastically when picked with a finger. As shown in FIG. 1B, the slit 23 further extends from the knob 21 to a portion 23 ′ below the fitting protrusion 22. This makes it easier for the fitting projection 22 to sink when the knob 21 is picked up and down in the figure.

  When the tray 20 is completely inserted into the outer case 10 as shown in FIG. 1C, the fitting projections 22 provided on the tray 20 are fitted into the fitting holes 11 provided in the outer case 10. The fitting prevents the tray 20 from easily falling off. Therefore, it is preferable that the fitting projection 22 and the fitting hole 11 have substantially the same outer diameter, and the fitting hole 11 is slightly larger, because the fitting is completed without any gap. Thus, for example, when the slide type container 1 is fixed to a pocket of clothes or the like with the mounting clip 13, the tray 20 is lowered, but there is no possibility that the tray 20 easily falls off.

  The shape of the fitting protrusion 22 may be a columnar shape as shown in FIG. 1, but as shown in FIG. 2, the fitting protrusion 22 ′ has a slope whose top portion becomes lower on the storage portion 24 side. Can also. Then, when the tray 20 is inserted into the outer case 10, when the fitting protrusion 22 ′ reaches the edge of the outer case 10, it naturally sinks and elastically deforms due to the effect of the sloped top portion, and the user intends. Even if the knob 21 is not elastically deformed, the insertion proceeds without collision so that it is easy to insert. When the knob 21 is completely inserted, the fitting projection 22 ′ is fitted in the fitting hole 11.

  When the tray 20 is to be pulled out after the fitting, since the knob 21 side of the fitting projection 22 'is not lowered, the fitting is firmly fitted to the fitting hole 11, and the pull-out does not easily come off simply by pulling.

  The material forming the outer case 10 and the tray 20 is not particularly limited as long as it has good moldability and can be elastically deformed. Among them, a hard plastic resin can be suitably used. It can be formed by a known resin molding technique. The plastic resin can be used by selecting an appropriate material in consideration of workability, strength, elasticity, slipperiness, cost, etc., for example, polypropylene resin, AS resin, ABS resin, polyacetal resin, polystyrene resin, polycarbonate resin. , Polyethylene terephthalate resin, polyamide resin, fluorine resin and the like.

  FIG. 3 is an explanatory view showing a state where the tray is pulled out from the slide type container of the present invention. FIG. 3A shows a state in which the tray 20 is completely inserted into the outer case 10, and the fitting protrusion 22 is fitted in the fitting hole 11. The knob 21 is provided with knobs 21A and 21B which are branched at intervals by a slit 23 and are provided in a frame shape in a shape following the outer shape of the outer case 10. From the window 12, it can be visually confirmed whether or not the contents are stored in the storage section 24, and the amount and state thereof.

  In order to pull out the tray 20, as shown in FIG. 3B, the knob 21 is elastically deformed by pinching the knob 21 in the direction of the white arrow in the figure, and extending to the fitting projection 22. When the slit 23 is crushed, the fitting protrusion 22 comes out of the fitting hole 11 and the fitting is released. At this time, the knobs 21A and 21B may be further deformed and crushed in the vertical direction, so that the engagement can be more reliably released.

  Thereafter, by pulling in the direction of the black arrow while holding the knob 21, the tray 20 can be pulled out of the outer cover 10 without difficulty as shown in FIG. 3C, and the contents 25 stored in the storage section 24 can be removed. Operations such as taking out, replacing, and newly storing can be easily performed. The content 25 is not particularly limited, but typically can suitably contain a solid fragrance, a sustained release drug, a deodorant, an insect repellent, a fungicide, a desiccant, and the like. Alternatively, a carrier in which a liquid drug is impregnated into a carrier such as a nonwoven fabric may be used.

  FIG. 4 is an external view of an embodiment in which the mounting clip 13 is removed from the sliding container of the present invention, and FIG. 4A is a front view, and FIG. 4B is a view of the removed mounting clip 13 and the outer case 10 viewed from the side. (C) A plan view (however, the mounting clip 13 is shown on the opposite surface side with respect to the outer case 10 for easy understanding). The mounting clip 13 has a side plate 13A and a T-shaped foot 13B fitted and fixed from the side of the outer case 10, and can be removed by being pulled out in the direction indicated by the white arrow. A second window 14 may be provided in a portion hidden by the mounting clip 13, so that the volatility of the contents can be enhanced. By removing the mounting clip 13, the configuration can be made more compact and the storage efficiency is good.

FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating another example of the window. The shape of the window 12 is not limited to those exemplified above, and may be, for example, (a) a plurality of slits, (b) a lattice window, (c) a diamond, or (d) a bead.
It can be provided with a shape that matches the characteristics of the contents and the application. The planar shape of the fitting projection 22 and the fitting hole 11 is not limited to the circular shape as exemplified above, but may be a polygonal shape such as a rectangle as illustrated in FIG.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating another form of the knob. When the knob 21 is pinched near the center, the deformation of the portion of the fitting projection 22 can be more easily increased and the fitting can be easily released, and therefore, the knob 21 is expanded near the center to encourage the user to pinch the center. This is an example in which the shape is set to be protruded.

  As described above, according to the sliding container of the present invention, a complicated locking mechanism is not required and the structure is simple, so that the cost is not increased, and the locking and unlocking of the tray and the outer case are easily and securely performed. The present invention can provide a slide-type container and a medicine container that can be easily operated.
