Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 6-408

  Although the said container is formed with a float, a connection member, and a container body, since these formed separately, there existed a fault which became expensive.

  In the present invention, an air reservoir as a float is provided at the center of the lid so that the container can be kept in an upright state and can float in the hot water. It is provided so that the agent can be dissolved, and the structure of the container can be made simple and inexpensive.

As a first means, it has an upper surface opening container main body 1 and a lid body 11 for closing the upper surface of the container main body so as to be freely opened and closed, and the container main body and the lid body are formed of a synthetic resin material,
The lid 11 is provided with a raised portion 19 on the top plate 12 to form an air reservoir 20 as a float on the inner surface of the raised portion, and a plurality of hot water access holes 4 are formed in the container body 1.

  As a second means, the first means is provided, and the lower end of the raised portion 19 is extended to the lower side of the top plate 12 to form an air pocket between the inner surfaces of the extended cylindrical portion and the raised portion. Air vent holes 22 were formed around 19.

  As the third means, the first or second means is provided, and the outer peripheral part of the upper end of the container body 1 and the outer peripheral part of the lid body 11 are integrally connected via the thin hinge 16. At the same time, the hook 17 is suspended from the outer peripheral portion of the lid facing the thin hinge, and the closed state can be maintained by hook engagement with the protrusion 18 attached to the upper peripheral portion of the container body corresponding to the hook. did.

  As a fourth means, there are provided a plurality of containers having the third means and the container body 1 having the same shape and the same size as the lower small-diameter tapered shape. The container body 1 of the upper container was placed in the main body 1 and the lid body of the upper container was positioned on the lid body of the lower container so that they could be stacked.

  With the configuration according to claim 1, the central portion of the top plate of the lid that closes the upper surface of the container main body having a large number of hot water access holes 4 is raised in a hemispherical shape, and the air reservoir 20 is formed on the inner surface of the raised portion. From this, the air pool forms a float so that the container can be kept upright at all times and float in the hot water of the bathtub, and the dissolution and exudation of the bath contained in the container can be performed smoothly. I can do it.

  As in claim 2, the lower end of the raised portion extends to the lower side of the top plate 12 to form an air reservoir 20 with the extended cylindrical portion 21 and the inner surface of the raised portion, and a plurality of air vent holes 22 are formed in the outer peripheral portion of the top plate surrounding the raised portion. The stability when floating in hot water can be further increased than in the case of claim 1.

  By integrally molding the container main body and the lid body through the thin hinge 16 as in the third aspect, the cost can be reduced and the closed state can be reliably maintained by hook engagement.

  By making it like Claim 4, many container transportation can be performed in a container stacking state, and transportation cost can be made cheap.

  Referring to the drawings, reference numeral 1 denotes a container main body, and the container main body protrudes from a substantially square bottom plate 2 outer periphery with an upper large diameter tapered main body peripheral wall 3 as shown in FIG. The peripheral wall of the container body also has a square cross section, and a plurality of hot water inlet / outlet holes 4 are vertically provided in a portion excluding the upper portion, and a plurality of hot water inlet / outlet holes 4 are formed in the bottom plate. The upper part 5 of the peripheral wall of the main body is a non-tapered cylinder having a large outer diameter through a downward stepped portion 6, and the upper end of the upper portion is a small outer diameter portion 8 through an upward stepped portion 7.

  Reference numeral 11 denotes a lid that closes the upper surface of the container body so that it can be freely opened and closed.

  A part of the lower end of the lid peripheral wall 13 and a part of the outer edge of the upward stepped portion 7 of the body peripheral wall 3 are connected via a thin hinge 16, and the lid 11 is rotated around the thin hinge. It is possible to place the large inner diameter portion 15 at the lower end portion of the cover body peripheral wall 13 on the outer surface of the small outer diameter portion 8 at the upper end portion of the main body peripheral wall and fit the lower end surface of the cover body peripheral wall 13 on the upward stepped portion 7 It is said.

  A hook 17 for closing the lid is suspended from a part of the lower end of the peripheral wall of the lid on the side facing the thin hinge 16, and when the lid is closed, the upward step 7 on the upper part of the peripheral wall corresponding to the lower end of the hook is closed. A ridge 18 is projected outward from the outer edge of the rim, and the lower end of the hook 17 is engaged with the ridge so that the lid body can be kept closed.

  The central portion of the lid top plate 12 is raised upward on the hemispherical surface, and the inside of the raised portion 19 serves as an air reservoir 20 as a float. The air reservoir may be formed by an inner surface of the extended cylindrical portion 21 and an inner surface of the raised portion 19 by extending the lower end of the peripheral wall of the raised portion to the lower side of the top plate 12 as shown in the figure. In addition, air vent holes 22 are formed in the top plate 12 surrounding the raised portion 19 at almost equal intervals.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the container is formed by fitting a plurality of containers formed in the same shape and size into the container body of the upper container into the container body of the lower container in the opened state. It is desirable to position the lid of the upper container above the lid so that it can be stacked. In the stacked state, the raised portion of the upper container lid is fitted into the raised portion of the lower container lid.

  As shown in FIG. 4, a bath 31 is stored in the container, and the lid is closed and floated in hot water in the bathtub. The bath 31 may be solid or powder, and if powdered, it is stored in a water-permeable bag as appropriate.

  As described above, when the lower end of the peripheral wall of the raised portion 19 is extended to the lower side of the top plate 12 and the air vent hole 22 is formed in the top plate portion surrounding the raised portion, the inside of the raised portion and the extension cylinder portion 21 is formed. Only the air pocket forms a float, but when the above-mentioned extension cylinder part is provided and the air vent hole 22 is not drilled, the air is also below the top plate part between the extension cylinder part 21 and the cover peripheral wall 13. It will remain, and the lower part of the top plate part will form an air reservoir preliminary chamber.

It is a half sectional view of the container of the present invention. 1 is a plan view showing the container in an open state. It is sectional drawing which shows the state which accumulated the some container of FIG. 1 with the lid | cover opened. 1 is a half cross-sectional view showing a state in which a bath agent is placed in a container and floated in hot water.
