Description
本発明は、ポンプ操作用アタッチメント及び操作用アタッチメント付きポンプ容器に関する。 The present invention relates to a pump operating attachment and a pump container with the operating attachment.
一般的なポンプ容器は、口頸部を起立する容器体と、前記口頸部に装着した装着部材より下方へ、容器体内に収納されたシリンダを垂下するとともに、このシリンダ内に下半部を上方付勢状態で昇降可能に嵌合させた作動部材の上部に押下げヘッドを付設した吐出器とを具備し、容器体に対する押下ヘッドの上下動により、容器体内の液体を第１逆止弁を介してシリンダ内に吸い込み、かつシリンダ内から第２逆止弁を介して押下ヘッドから吐出するように構成されている（特許文献１）。 In a general pump container, a cylinder housed in a container body is suspended downward from a container body standing the mouth and neck and a mounting member attached to the mouth and neck, and a lower half portion is fixed in the cylinder. And a dispenser provided with a depressing head attached to an upper portion of the actuating member fitted movably ascendable in an upper biased state, and the liquid in the container body is subjected to a first check The pressure is drawn into the cylinder via the valve and discharged from the press head from within the cylinder via the second check valve (Patent Document 1).
従来のポンプ容器の場合には、片手で操作するときに、その手の一本の指を押下げヘッドの上面に掛け、同じ手の残りの指を例えば装着部材の外周面に当てて把持し、押下げヘッドを押し下げる。しかしながら、手の大きさは人により異なるから、未成年者や女性などの小柄な人にとっては、持ち手（把持する場所をいう）から指掛け箇所である距離が長すぎ、操作しにくいことがあった。
またポンプ容器を洗濯用洗剤に使用する場合には、縦型洗濯機とドラム式洗濯機とでは注ぎ口の高さが異なるため、容器の持ち方によっては、注ぎにくいという問題もあった。
従来、ポンプ容器の操作性を向上するために、さまざまなアタッチメントが提案されている。
例えば前記特許文献１では、ポンプ容器の装着部材の外面に嵌合した嵌着壁部の両側から２本のアームを起立し、これらアームの先端にヒンジ連結したテコ片の下面を押下げヘッドの上面に当接させてなり、当該テコ片に指を掛けて押し下げることで押下げヘッドのノズルから液体を吐出できるようにしたものを開示している。しかしながら、これは押下げヘッドを押し下げるための指掛け部の工夫であり、ポンプ容器への指当て部（持ち手）に関する工夫をしたものは見当たらない。
In the case of a conventional pump container, when operating with one hand, one finger of the hand is hung on the upper surface of the pressing head, and the remaining fingers of the same hand are held against the outer peripheral surface of the mounting member, for example. , Press down the pressing head. However, since the size of the hand differs depending on the person, it may be difficult for the small person such as a minor or a woman to operate it because the distance from the holding hand (which means the place to be held) is too long for a finger The
In addition, when the pump container is used as a detergent for washing, the height of the spout is different between the vertical washing machine and the drum type washing machine, and there is also a problem that it is difficult to pour depending on how to hold the container.
Heretofore, various attachments have been proposed to improve the operability of the pump container.
For example, in Patent Document 1, two arms are erected from both sides of a fitting wall fitted to the outer surface of a mounting member of a pump container, and the lower surface of a lever piece hinged to the tip of these arms is pressed down. It is made to contact | abut on the upper surface, and it makes it possible to discharge a liquid from the nozzle of a pressing head by putting a finger on the said lever piece and pressing down. However, this is a device of the finger hooking portion for pushing down the pressing head, and there is not found a device with a device related to the finger touching portion (handhold) on the pump container.
