DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a portable container for storing foods and articles, and more particularly to a portable container having a lid which can be easily opened and closed.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A general portable container shown in FIG. 7 is constructed as follows.

[0003] The container 1 has two upper extension leaves 160 projecting upward from the front and rear walls thereof, and the two upper extension leaves 160 can be combined to form a handle 16. A handle 16 for carrying the container 1 suitable for storing food and articles therein has a handhole 17 formed by cutting out the handle 16.

[0004] The container 1 has two protruding portions 11 protruding upward from a right side wall and a left side wall.
1 has a meshing hole 12 formed therein. Meshing hole 1
A hook portion 161 formed on the right end and the left end of the handle 16 can be engaged with the handle 2.

The front lid 150 hinges at the front end 13 of the container 1 and the rear lid 15 hinges at the rear end 14 of the container 1. A meshing tongue 151 projecting forward from the rear lid 15 is formed on the rear lid 15, and the rear lid 15 is tightened to pass through the handhole 17 and protect the container 1 on the front lid 150.

[0006]

However, such a general portable container has the following disadvantages. 1. The front lid 150 and the rear lid 15 are closed on the container 1 so as to be fastened by the engagement tongue 151. Since the container 1 which is fastened or locked must be removed and opened later, it is very inconvenient to remove food and goods from the container 1. This is not very appropriate for children who like to eat and drink, and it is difficult to quickly get food and drinks out of tightly closed containers. 2. The container lacks respectful and lively techniques, such as providing cartoon-like designs that appeal to children. 3. If a container used for daily use, such as stationery, is stored in the container, such an inconvenient opening and closing method of the container has limitations in its use and commercial value.

[0007] The present inventor has discovered the disadvantages of such a general container, and invented a portable container that can be easily opened and closed.

Has at least a pair of hook portions formed on opposite sides of the container, and each of the hook portions is located at a central portion of a container to hold the handle portion with the two protrusions, respectively. The front lid formed on the upper front portion of the container is engaged with the respective engagement grooves formed on the projection portion of the container. Demarcate the opening and closing between the front lid is usually A front cover hingedly moves at the handle along a hinge holding line between the front cover and the handle to protect the opening of the container, and is usually located at a front open end of the front wall. Having a forwardly extending portion formed at the front end of the front cover, thereby protecting the forwardly extending portion of the front lid that opens the front lid along a hinge holding line, wherein the opening of the container is It is characterized in that it is configured to open immediately to easily take out an object from the inside.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, the container is formed by imitating a pattern of an animal, and is printed by imitating the pattern, and the front lid is printed by imitating the head of the animal. ,
It is formed so as to imitate it, and a portion extending forward of the front lid is printed so as to imitate the mouth of an animal, and is shaped so as to imitate it.

[0012]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The container of the present invention is a hinged front lid with a central handle that is locked to a pair of protrusions projecting upwardly from opposite side walls of the container, and closing the rear of the container. The container has a rear lid formed between the central handle and the rear wall of the container, and an opening formed in the front of the container protects food and goods stored in the container. Adjacent to the front wall and is normally closed with the front lid, and when the front lid is lifted up, its opening is immediately opened for convenient removal of objects from the container.

Hereinafter, the configuration of the container of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

A front wall 10a, a rear wall 10b, a right side wall 10c,
The left side wall 10d rises vertically from the bottom wall 10e. From the opposing right side wall 10c and left side wall 10d,
A pair of protrusions 11 protrude upward. Each of the protrusions 11 has an engagement groove 12 in which the inside of the protrusion is cut. The opening 10 is formed in the upper part of the container 1 and adjacent to the opening front edge 13 formed on the front wall 10a, so that an object stored in the container can be easily taken out. The rear lid 15 is fixed to the rear edge 14 facing the opening front edge 13 to protect the rear part of the container. The rear edge 14 is formed on the upper edge of the rear wall 10b. The handle 16 includes a pair of flaps 160 extending continuously from the rear lid 15. The flaps 160 have a ridge support line 16a that bounds laterally at the center of the two flaps 160.
Each flap 160 has a pair of hooks 161 formed at opposite ends of each flap. As a result, the two flaps 160 are folded along the ridge back holding line 16a, and the respective protrusions 1
The right and left ends of the handle 16 are folded back into the respective engaging grooves 12 formed in the first and second mating grooves 12.
The two hook portions 161 of one flap 160 are engaged. The handle 16 is securely locked to the two protrusions 11 of the container 1 as shown in FIG. The front lid 19
The hinge 16 moves toward the handle 16 along a hinge holding line 191 formed between the handle 16 and the front lid 19. As shown in FIG. 5, the front lid 19 is lifted to open the opening 10 of the container in order to take out food and goods from the container.

The front cover 19 has an extension 192 formed at the front end of the front cover 19. The extension 192 serves as a grip or handle when the front lid 19 is lifted to open the container opening 10.

The handle 16 has a flap 1 of the handle 16.
There is further provided a turning tab 18 which hinges towards 60, ie a flaring tab 18 which extends. The handhole 17 is used to carry the container of the present invention, grasp the handle portion 16 through the user's hand or finger,
The flap 160 is formed. Rear flap 16
0 is directly cut out to form another handhole 17 for carrying. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3, the turning tab 18 is removed.

Since the two hook portions 161 are folded back, the hook portions 161 are formed on the right protruding portion 11 or the respective engaging grooves 12 formed on the left protruding portion 11.
Locked by meshing with. The handle 16 is provided with two protrusions on the right side wall and the left side wall of the container so as to be located at the center of the container so as to increase the stability of gravity of the container when food or articles are stored therein. It is securely held by the part 11.

Therefore, even while the handle 16 is being gripped to carry the container of the present invention, the front lid 19 can be moved from within the container without affecting the stability of the container suspended under the handle 16. Can often be lifted in order to take out and open the opening 10.
