［第１の実施形態］
本発明の液体収納容器の第１の実施形態について説明する。 [First Embodiment]
A liquid storage container according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described.

本実施形態に係る液体収納容器１の構造について、図１ないし図３を用いて説明する。図１は、本実施形態に係る液体収納容器の正面断面図である。図２は、図１のII−II矢視断面図である。図３は、本実施形態に係る液体収納容器を説明するための図であって、第１蓋部材および押さえ部材の斜視図である。   The structure of the liquid container 1 according to this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3. FIG. 1 is a front sectional view of a liquid storage container according to the present embodiment. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line II-II in FIG. FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining the liquid container according to the present embodiment, and is a perspective view of the first lid member and the pressing member.

本実施形態に係る液体収納容器１は、例えば、しょうゆ等の液体調味料の収納容器である。液体収納容器１は、容器本体１０、第１蓋部材２０、押さえ部材５０、および、第２蓋部材６０を有している。   The liquid storage container 1 according to the present embodiment is a storage container for liquid seasonings such as soy sauce. The liquid storage container 1 includes a container body 10, a first lid member 20, a pressing member 50, and a second lid member 60.

容器本体１０は、液体調味料が収納される部材であり、例えば、下端が塞がれた円筒状の容器である。容器本体１０の上端には、開口が形成されていて、この開口部分１２の外周面には、螺子山が形成されている。容器本体１０は、液体調味料の残量を容易に視認できるように、透明のガラスやプラスチック等によって構成されていることが望ましい。   The container body 10 is a member that stores a liquid seasoning, and is, for example, a cylindrical container with a closed lower end. An opening is formed at the upper end of the container body 10, and a screw thread is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the opening portion 12. The container body 10 is preferably made of transparent glass or plastic so that the remaining amount of the liquid seasoning can be easily visually confirmed.

第１蓋部材２０は、容器本体１０の開口端に載置されて、容器本体１０の開口を塞ぐ役割を果たす。第１蓋部材２０には、注ぎ口部３０、および、空気孔部４０が設けられて、例えば、柔軟性のあるシリコーン樹脂等によって一体に構成されている。   The first lid member 20 is placed on the opening end of the container body 10 and plays a role of closing the opening of the container body 10. The first lid member 20 is provided with a spout portion 30 and an air hole portion 40, and is configured integrally with, for example, a flexible silicone resin.

注ぎ口部３０は、管状に形成されていて、第１蓋部材２０の中心９０を貫通するように設けられて、かつ、第１蓋部材２０の上面側（容器本体１０とは反対側）に突起している（以下、この突起している部分を「突起部３４」という。）。注ぎ口部３０には、容器本体１０の内外を連通した注ぎ口３２が形成されていて、容器本体１０内の液体は、図１の矢印９１の方向に液体収納容器１を傾けることによって、注ぎ口３２から注ぎ出される。   The spout portion 30 is formed in a tubular shape, is provided so as to penetrate the center 90 of the first lid member 20, and is on the upper surface side (the side opposite to the container body 10) of the first lid member 20. Projecting (hereinafter, this projecting portion is referred to as “projecting portion 34”). The spout portion 30 is formed with a spout 32 that communicates the inside and outside of the container body 10. The liquid in the container body 10 is poured by inclining the liquid storage container 1 in the direction of the arrow 91 in FIG. It is poured out from the mouth 32.

なお、注ぎ口部３０の突起部３４は、先端（上端）に行くにつれて、その厚みが薄くなるように形成されているため、液切れが向上し、液体が注ぎ口部３０の突起部３４の先端に付着することを抑制できる。また、注ぎ口部３０の突起部３４の先端面は、傾斜端面３５となっている。したがって、液体を注ぐ際には、液体収納容器１を図１の矢印９１の方向に傾けると、液切れを向上できる。また、第１蓋部材２０が濡れ性の低いシリコーン樹脂によって構成されていると、さらに液切れを向上できる。   In addition, since the protrusion part 34 of the spout part 30 is formed so that the thickness may become thin as it goes to a front-end | tip (upper end), a liquid drainage improves and the liquid of the protrusion part 34 of the spout part 30 is improved. It can suppress adhering to the tip. Further, the tip end surface of the protrusion 34 of the spout 30 is an inclined end surface 35. Therefore, when the liquid is poured, the liquid storage can be improved by tilting the liquid storage container 1 in the direction of the arrow 91 in FIG. Moreover, when the 1st cover member 20 is comprised with the silicone resin with low wettability, a liquid drainage can be improved further.

空気孔部４０は、管状に形成されていて、第１蓋部材２０を貫通するように設けられて、かつ、第１蓋部材２０の下面側（容器本体１０側）に突出している（以下、この突出している部分を「空気孔部４０の突出部４４」という。）。この突出部４４は、例えば、円筒状に形成されている。空気孔部４０には、容器本体１０の内外を連通した空気孔４２が形成されていて、容器本体１０内の空気は、この空気孔４２から出入りする。   The air hole portion 40 is formed in a tubular shape, is provided so as to penetrate the first lid member 20, and protrudes to the lower surface side (the container body 10 side) of the first lid member 20 (hereinafter referred to as “the air bag portion 10”). This protruding portion is referred to as “the protruding portion 44 of the air hole portion 40”). The protrusion 44 is formed in a cylindrical shape, for example. The air hole portion 40 is formed with an air hole 42 communicating with the inside and outside of the container body 10, and the air in the container body 10 enters and exits from the air hole 42.

空気孔部４０は、第１蓋部材２０の中心９０から外れて第１蓋部材２０の外周付近に設けられている。また、液体を注ぎ口３２から注ぎ出す際に、液体が空気孔４０を通って液体収納容器１外に出ないように、空気孔部４０は、注ぎ口部３０に対して注ぎ方向（図１の矢印９１）とは反対側に設けられている。   The air hole portion 40 is provided near the outer periphery of the first lid member 20 so as to be off the center 90 of the first lid member 20. Further, when the liquid is poured out from the spout 32, the air hole 40 is poured in the pouring direction (FIG. 1) so that the liquid does not go out of the liquid storage container 1 through the air hole 40. Is provided on the opposite side of the arrow 91).

空気孔部４０の突出部４４の先端面（下端面）は、容器本体１０の開口部分１２の内周面に近づくにつれて下降した傾斜端面４５となっている。そのため、液体を注ぎ口３２から注ぎ出す際に、液体収納容器１を図１の矢印９１の方向に傾けても、液体の液面が空気孔部４０の突出部４４の先端に達しにくく、液体が空気孔４２に入り込みくにい。   The front end surface (lower end surface) of the projecting portion 44 of the air hole portion 40 is an inclined end surface 45 that descends as it approaches the inner peripheral surface of the opening portion 12 of the container body 10. Therefore, even when the liquid storage container 1 is tilted in the direction of the arrow 91 in FIG. 1 when the liquid is poured out from the spout 32, the liquid level of the liquid hardly reaches the tip of the protruding portion 44 of the air hole 40, and the liquid Enters the air hole 42.

また、空気孔部４０の突出部４４の先端（下端）には、板状の舌片４８が設けられている。この舌片４８は、突出部４４の開口に溜まった液体を容器本体１０に導く役割を果たす。舌片４８は、突出部４４の一部を突出部４４に沿って下方に延長して形成されている。舌片４８は、容器本体１０の開口部分１２の内周面に接するように配置されていることが好ましい。   A plate-like tongue piece 48 is provided at the tip (lower end) of the protrusion 44 of the air hole 40. The tongue piece 48 plays a role of guiding the liquid accumulated in the opening of the protruding portion 44 to the container body 10. The tongue piece 48 is formed by extending a part of the protruding portion 44 downward along the protruding portion 44. The tongue piece 48 is preferably disposed so as to contact the inner peripheral surface of the opening portion 12 of the container body 10.

さらに、空気孔部４０には、液体収納容器１の内部から外部に向かう間に空気孔４２の流路面積（空気孔４２の流路に垂直な断面積）が大きくなる拡大部４６が形成されている。   Further, the air hole portion 40 is formed with an enlarged portion 46 in which the flow area of the air hole 42 (cross-sectional area perpendicular to the flow path of the air hole 42) increases from the inside of the liquid storage container 1 to the outside. ing.

本実施形態において、空気孔部４０は、曲管状に形成されている。詳しくは、空気孔４２は、空気孔部４０の突出部４４の先端から突出部４４に沿って上方に延びた後、注ぎ口部３０とは反対側に曲がって側方（図１の矢印９１とは反対側の方向）に向かって延びている。なお、拡大部４６の曲がり角は、９０°以上であることが望ましい。   In the present embodiment, the air hole 40 is formed in a curved tube shape. Specifically, the air hole 42 extends upward from the tip of the protrusion 44 of the air hole 40 along the protrusion 44, and then bends to the side opposite to the spout part 30 (arrow 91 in FIG. 1). The direction of the opposite side. In addition, it is desirable that the bend angle of the enlarged portion 46 is 90 ° or more.

ここで、空気孔部４０の曲がっている部分の流路面積は、突出部４４の流路面積に比べて大きくなっている。すなわち、本実施形態において、空気孔部４０の曲がっている部分が、上述した「拡大部」４６に相当する。   Here, the flow area of the bent portion of the air hole 40 is larger than the flow area of the protrusion 44. That is, in the present embodiment, the bent portion of the air hole portion 40 corresponds to the “enlarged portion” 46 described above.

押さえ部材５０は、容器本体１０の開口端と第１蓋部材２０の下面とを密着させる役割を果たす。押さえ部材５０は、螺合部５２および環部５４を有し、例えば、ポリプロピレン等の硬質プラスチック等によって一体に成型されている。   The pressing member 50 plays a role of bringing the opening end of the container body 10 and the lower surface of the first lid member 20 into close contact with each other. The pressing member 50 includes a screwing portion 52 and a ring portion 54, and is integrally formed of, for example, hard plastic such as polypropylene.

螺合部５２は、円筒状に成型されていて、螺合部５２の内周面には、容器本体１０の螺子山に対応する螺子溝が形成されている。螺合部５２は、容器本体１０の開口部分１２に螺合している。   The screwing portion 52 is formed in a cylindrical shape, and a screw groove corresponding to the screw thread of the container body 10 is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the screwing portion 52. The screwing portion 52 is screwed into the opening portion 12 of the container body 10.

環部５４は、螺合部５２の上端から中心９０に向かって広がっている環状体である。螺子山と螺子溝とは螺合された状態では、環部５４は、第１蓋部材２０を下方に押圧している。そのため、容器本体１０の開口端と第１蓋部材２０の下面とは密着している。なお、上述したように、第１蓋部材２０が柔軟性のあるシリコーン樹脂等によって構成されていると、密着性をさらに高くできる。   The ring portion 54 is an annular body that extends from the upper end of the screwing portion 52 toward the center 90. In the state where the screw thread and the screw groove are screwed together, the ring portion 54 presses the first lid member 20 downward. Therefore, the open end of the container body 10 and the lower surface of the first lid member 20 are in close contact. As described above, if the first lid member 20 is made of a flexible silicone resin or the like, the adhesion can be further increased.

環部５４の中央には、貫通孔が形成されていて、注ぎ口部３０の突起部３４は、この貫通孔を挿通して、環部５４の上面側に突き出ている。また、空気孔部４０の上側の開口は、この貫通孔に対応する位置にあり、押さえ部材５０により塞がれていない。   A through hole is formed at the center of the ring portion 54, and the protrusion 34 of the spout portion 30 is inserted through the through hole and protrudes to the upper surface side of the ring portion 54. Further, the opening on the upper side of the air hole portion 40 is located at a position corresponding to the through hole and is not blocked by the pressing member 50.

第２蓋部材６０は、第１蓋部材２０および押さえ部材５０を覆う役割を果たす。第２蓋部材６０は、外側蓋部材６２および内側蓋部材６４の二重構造となっている。外側蓋部材６２は、例えば、金属や硬質プラスチック等によって、一端（上端）が塞がれた円筒状に成型されている。一方、内側蓋部材６４は、例えば、硬質プラスチック等によって、一端（上端）が塞がれた円筒状に成型されている。   The second lid member 60 serves to cover the first lid member 20 and the pressing member 50. The second lid member 60 has a double structure of an outer lid member 62 and an inner lid member 64. The outer lid member 62 is molded into a cylindrical shape whose one end (upper end) is closed by, for example, metal or hard plastic. On the other hand, the inner lid member 64 is molded into a cylindrical shape whose one end (upper end) is closed by, for example, hard plastic.

第２蓋部材６０が第１蓋部材２０および押さえ部材５０を覆った状態では、内側蓋部材６４の円筒部分の内周面と押さえ部材５０の螺合部５２の外周面とが密着している。また、内側蓋部材６４には、注ぎ口部３０の上端の開口に対応した位置に***部６６が形成されていて、この***部６６が注ぎ口部３０の上側の開口端に密着している。さらに、空気孔部４０の上端の開口は、内側蓋部材６４の内周面に当接して塞がれている。   In a state where the second lid member 60 covers the first lid member 20 and the pressing member 50, the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion of the inner lid member 64 and the outer peripheral surface of the screwing portion 52 of the pressing member 50 are in close contact with each other. . Further, the inner lid member 64 is formed with a raised portion 66 at a position corresponding to the opening at the upper end of the spout portion 30, and this raised portion 66 is in close contact with the upper opening end of the spout portion 30. . Further, the opening at the upper end of the air hole portion 40 is closed in contact with the inner peripheral surface of the inner lid member 64.

このように、第２蓋部材６０が注ぎ口部３０の上側の開口および空気孔部４０の上側の開口を塞いでいるため、容器本体１０内に収納された液体（例えば、調味料）の品質の劣化を抑制できる。   Thus, since the 2nd cover member 60 has block | closed the upper opening of the spout part 30, and the upper opening of the air hole part 40, the quality of the liquid (for example, seasoning) accommodated in the container main body 10 Can be prevented.

次に、本実施形態に係る液体収納容器１の作用について、図１および図４を用いて説明する。図４（ａ）は、本実施形態に係る液体収納容器を説明するための図であって、図１の空気孔部付近の拡大図である。図４（ｂ）は、従来の液体収納容器を説明するための図であって、空気孔部付近の拡大図である。   Next, the effect | action of the liquid storage container 1 which concerns on this embodiment is demonstrated using FIG. 1 and FIG. FIG. 4A is a diagram for explaining the liquid storage container according to the present embodiment, and is an enlarged view near the air hole portion of FIG. FIG. 4B is a diagram for explaining a conventional liquid storage container, and is an enlarged view of the vicinity of an air hole.

容器本体１０内の液体は、図１の矢印９１の方向に液体収納容器１を傾けることによって、注ぎ口３２から注ぎ出される。このとき、液体の液面が空気孔４２の下側の開口に達して、空気孔４２に液体が入り込んでしまうことがある。   The liquid in the container body 10 is poured out from the spout 32 by tilting the liquid storage container 1 in the direction of the arrow 91 in FIG. At this time, the liquid level of the liquid may reach the lower opening of the air hole 42, and the liquid may enter the air hole 42.

ここで、図４（ｂ）に示すように、舌片４８が設けられていない従来の液体収納容器においては、空気孔１４２に入り込んだ液体（例えば、調味料）が空気孔１４２に溜まって、そのまま長時間放置すると、液体が空気孔１４２内で結晶化して空気孔１４２を塞いでしまい、空気孔１４２の機能を低下させることがある。   Here, as shown in FIG. 4B, in the conventional liquid storage container in which the tongue piece 48 is not provided, the liquid (for example, seasoning) that has entered the air hole 142 is accumulated in the air hole 142, If left as it is for a long time, the liquid may crystallize in the air holes 142 and block the air holes 142, thereby reducing the function of the air holes 142.

また、室温の上昇等により容器本体１０内の空気が膨張した場合には、液体の膜７１ａが空気孔部１４０の上側の開口まで押し上げられて、膜７１ｂが膨らんで破裂することがある。そうすると、空気孔部１４０の上側の開口付近に液体が付着してしまい、衛生的にも、見た目にも良くない。また、液体が空気孔部１４０の上側の開口で結晶化して、空気孔１４２を塞いでしまい、空気孔１４２の機能を低下させることもある。   Further, when the air in the container body 10 expands due to a rise in room temperature or the like, the liquid film 71a may be pushed up to the opening above the air hole 140, and the film 71b may swell and burst. If it does so, a liquid will adhere to the opening vicinity of the upper side of the air hole part 140, and it is not good also about hygiene and appearance. In addition, the liquid may crystallize at the opening on the upper side of the air hole portion 140 to block the air hole 142, thereby reducing the function of the air hole 142.

一方、本実施形態においては、空気孔部４０の突出部４４の先端面（下端面）が傾斜端面４５となっているため、液体が空気孔部４０の下側の開口に溜まりにくい。さらに、空気孔部４０の突出部４４の先端（下端）には、舌片４８が形成されている。そのため、液体が空気孔部４０の下側の開口から舌片４８をつたって、容器本体１０内に戻りやすい。   On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the tip end surface (lower end surface) of the projecting portion 44 of the air hole portion 40 is the inclined end surface 45, so that liquid does not easily accumulate in the lower opening of the air hole portion 40. Further, a tongue piece 48 is formed at the tip (lower end) of the protrusion 44 of the air hole 40. Therefore, the liquid tends to return to the inside of the container body 10 through the tongue piece 48 from the lower opening of the air hole portion 40.

さらに、本実施形態に係る液体収納容器１には、液体収納容器１の内部から外部に向かう間に空気孔４２の流路面積が大きくなる拡大部４６が形成されている。そのため、液体の膜７１ａが形成されてしまっても、拡大部４６において、液体の膜７１ｃの面積が大きくなって、液体の膜７１ｃが薄くなり、その結果、液体の膜７１ｃは、拡大部４６にて破裂する。   Furthermore, the liquid storage container 1 according to the present embodiment is formed with an enlarged portion 46 in which the flow area of the air hole 42 increases while going from the inside of the liquid storage container 1 to the outside. For this reason, even if the liquid film 71a is formed, the area of the liquid film 71c increases in the enlarged portion 46, and the liquid film 71c becomes thinner. As a result, the liquid film 71c becomes smaller in the enlarged portion 46. Burst at.

破裂後の液体は、空気孔４２の壁面および舌片４８をつたって容器本体１０内に戻る。そのため、本実施形態に係る液体収納容器１は、衛生的で、見た目も良く、空気孔４２の機能を低下させることを抑制できる。なお、拡大部４６での曲がり角が９０°以上であると、液体の膜７１の面積が拡大部４６において急激に大きくなり、液体の膜７１が破裂しやすく、より効果的である。   The ruptured liquid returns to the inside of the container body 10 through the wall surface of the air hole 42 and the tongue piece 48. Therefore, the liquid storage container 1 according to the present embodiment is hygienic, has a good appearance, and can suppress the function of the air holes 42 from being lowered. It should be noted that, when the bending angle at the enlarged portion 46 is 90 ° or more, the area of the liquid film 71 is suddenly increased at the enlarged portion 46 and the liquid film 71 is easily ruptured, which is more effective.
