The top portion 19 is formed in a cylindrical shape and protrudes upward from the inner peripheral edge portion of the top wall of the connecting tube portion 20. A connecting portion between the inner peripheral surface of the top portion 19 and the lower surface of the top wall of the connecting cylinder portion 20 is formed in a curved shape protruding toward the inside in the radial direction. Note that the top portion 19 may be formed in, for example, a rectangular tube shape. Further, the inner peripheral edge of the annular top wall of the connecting cylinder part 20 may be used as the discharge hole 8 without providing the top part 19. That is, the top of the measuring cylinder member 7 may be the top wall of the connecting cylinder part 20.
In the present embodiment, the space defined by the connecting tube portion 20 of the measuring tube member 7 and the main fitting tube 13 of the inner plug member 4 is the measuring chamber 6. That is, the inner peripheral surface of the measuring chamber 6 is constituted by the inner peripheral surface of the main fitting tube 13 of the inner plug member 4 and the inner peripheral surface of the peripheral wall of the connecting tube portion 20 of the measuring tube member 7.

図示の例では、塗布栓9が塗布位置に位置した状態で、塗布栓9の外周面と吐出孔8の内周面との間の隙間を通して、計量室6の内容物が吐出可能とされている。
The application plug 9 blocks the communication between the discharge hole 8 and the measurement chamber 6 and connects the measurement chamber 6 and the communication hole 5 to each other (for example, the state shown in FIG. 4), and below the measurement position ( It is located on the bottom side of the container main body along the container axial direction, blocks communication between the measurement chamber 6 and the communication hole 5, and allows the discharge hole 8 and the measurement chamber 6 to communicate (here, "to communicate"). Means that it includes both the meanings of “communicating or enabling communication”) between the application position (for example, the state shown in FIGS. 1, 2, and 5) and the container axis O direction (vertical direction). ) Is movably disposed.
In the illustrated example, the contents in the measuring chamber 6 can be discharged through the gap between the outer peripheral surface of the application plug 9 and the inner peripheral surface of the discharge hole 8 with the application plug 9 positioned at the application position. Yes.

塗布栓9は、計量筒部材7内に配設された有頂筒状のシール筒24と、シール筒24の天壁から下方に向けて延び、シール筒24の周壁により径方向の外側から囲繞された外挿筒25と、シール筒24の天壁に立設された筒状の先端部26と、を有する。シール筒24、外挿筒25および先端部26は、容器軸Oと同軸に配置されるとともに、一体に形成されている。   The coating plug 9 extends downward from the top wall of the sealing cylinder 24 disposed in the measuring cylinder member 7 and from the top wall of the sealing cylinder 24, and is surrounded from the outside in the radial direction by the peripheral wall of the sealing cylinder 24. And the cylindrical tip portion 26 erected on the top wall of the seal cylinder 24. The seal cylinder 24, the extrapolation cylinder 25, and the distal end portion 26 are arranged coaxially with the container axis O and are integrally formed.

シール筒24の上部は、図4に示すように、塗布栓9が計量位置に位置するときに、吐出孔8の内側に摺動自在に嵌合しており、吐出孔8と計量室6との連通を遮断する。シール筒24の下端部は、塗布栓9が、図2および図5に示すように塗布位置に位置するときに、シリンダ筒12の内側に摺動自在に嵌合している。図示の例では、シール筒24のうち、下端部の厚さは、他の部分の厚さより薄くなっている。
このようなシール筒24の下端部は、塗布位置に位置するときに、シリンダ筒12内に嵌合し計量室6と連通孔5との連通を遮断する一方、計量位置に位置するときに、シリンダ筒12内から上方に離脱し計量室6と連通孔5とを連通させる。
As shown in FIG. 4, the upper portion of the seal cylinder 24 is slidably fitted inside the discharge hole 8 when the application plug 9 is located at the measurement position, and the discharge hole 8, the measurement chamber 6, Block communication. The lower end portion of the seal cylinder 24 is slidably fitted inside the cylinder cylinder 12 when the application plug 9 is positioned at the application position as shown in FIGS. In the illustrated example, the thickness of the lower end portion of the seal cylinder 24 is thinner than the thickness of other portions.
When such a lower end portion of the seal cylinder 24 is located at the application position, the lower end of the seal cylinder 24 is fitted into the cylinder cylinder 12 to block communication between the measurement chamber 6 and the communication hole 5, while when positioned at the measurement position, The measurement chamber 6 and the communication hole 5 are communicated with each other by detaching upward from the cylinder cylinder 12.

塗布栓9は、径方向の外側に向けて突出するストッパー段部24cを備える。ストッパー段部24cは、シール筒24の外周面における容器軸O方向の中間部分に形成されている。ストッパー段部24cは、周方向に沿って延びる環状に形成されている。ストッパー段部24cは、図4に示すように、塗布栓9が計量位置に位置するときに、計量筒部材7内における吐出孔8の開口周縁部に対して、下側から当接可能である。図示の例では、ストッパー段部24cは、計量筒部材7のうち連結筒部20の天壁の内周縁部に対して、その下側から当接可能となっている。   The application plug 9 includes a stopper step 24c that protrudes outward in the radial direction. The stopper step portion 24 c is formed at an intermediate portion in the container axis O direction on the outer peripheral surface of the seal cylinder 24. The stopper step 24c is formed in an annular shape extending along the circumferential direction. As shown in FIG. 4, the stopper step 24 c can come into contact with the peripheral edge of the opening of the discharge hole 8 in the measuring cylinder member 7 from below when the application plug 9 is positioned at the measuring position. . In the illustrated example, the stopper step portion 24 c can be brought into contact with the inner peripheral edge portion of the top wall of the connecting tube portion 20 of the measuring tube member 7 from below.

塗布栓9が計量位置に位置した状態では、塗布栓9のストッパー段部24cが、計量筒部材7における吐出孔8の開口周縁部にその下側から当接することで、たとえ計量室6に対して塗布栓9を上側へ移動させる向きの外力が作用した場合でも、計量位置に位置した塗布栓9がそれ以上に上側に向けて移動することが規制されている。
ここで、シール筒24の上部における外周面には、径方向の外側に向けて突出するとともに周方向に延びる環状または円弧状の第1係合突部24aが形成されている。この第1係合突部24aは、塗布栓9が塗布位置から計量位置に移動したときに、吐出孔8の内周面に形成された第2係合突部8aを上方に乗り越え、第2係合突部8aに第1係合突部24aの下側から係合する。なお、第1係合突部24aおよび第2係合突部8aは、互いに全周にわたって連続して係合しなくてもよい。
In a state where the application plug 9 is located at the measurement position, the stopper step 24c of the application plug 9 abuts the peripheral edge of the discharge hole 8 in the measurement cylinder member 7 from below, so that Even when an external force is applied to move the applicator plug 9 upward, the applicator cap 9 positioned at the measuring position is restricted from moving further upward.
Here, an annular or arcuate first engagement protrusion 24a is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the upper portion of the seal cylinder 24 so as to protrude outward in the radial direction and extend in the circumferential direction. The first engagement protrusion 24a climbs upward over the second engagement protrusion 8a formed on the inner peripheral surface of the discharge hole 8 when the application plug 9 moves from the application position to the metering position. The engaging protrusion 8a is engaged from below the first engaging protrusion 24a. In addition, the 1st engagement protrusion 24a and the 2nd engagement protrusion 8a do not need to mutually engage over a perimeter.

外挿筒25は、中栓部材4の案内軸11aに上下動自在に外挿されている。図示の例では、外挿筒25は、中栓部材4の案内軸11aに非接触状態で上下動する。これにより、塗布栓9を円滑に上下動させることができる。また、外挿筒25の下端開口縁は、シール筒24の下端開口縁よりも下側に位置している。   The outer insertion cylinder 25 is inserted on the guide shaft 11a of the inner plug member 4 so as to be movable up and down. In the illustrated example, the extrapolation cylinder 25 moves up and down in a non-contact state with the guide shaft 11 a of the inner plug member 4. Thereby, the coating stopper 9 can be moved up and down smoothly. Further, the lower end opening edge of the extrapolation cylinder 25 is located below the lower end opening edge of the seal cylinder 24.

図2に示すように、塗布栓9が塗布位置に位置した状態で、外挿筒25の下端開口縁は、支持体11の規制部11bの上端縁と当接し、支持体11の規制部11bに下側から支持されている。このとき、支持体11の案内軸11aの上端縁と、シール筒24の天壁と、の間には、容器軸O方向の隙間が設けられている。なおこれに代えて、案内軸11aの上端縁、およびシール筒24の天壁を互いに当接させて、塗布栓9のこれ以上の下降移動を規制してもよい。   As shown in FIG. 2, the lower end opening edge of the outer insertion tube 25 is in contact with the upper end edge of the restriction portion 11 b of the support body 11 in a state where the application plug 9 is located at the application position, and the restriction portion 11 b of the support body 11. Is supported from below. At this time, a gap in the container axis O direction is provided between the upper end edge of the guide shaft 11 a of the support 11 and the top wall of the seal cylinder 24. Instead of this, the upper end edge of the guide shaft 11a and the top wall of the seal cylinder 24 may be brought into contact with each other to restrict further downward movement of the coating plug 9.

塗布栓9が塗布位置に位置した状態で、塗布栓9の先端部26は、計量筒部材7の頂部19内に配設されている。先端部26の外径は、塗布栓9が計量位置に位置するときに、吐出孔8の内側に嵌合したシール筒24の上部の外径より小さい。塗布栓9が塗布位置に位置した状態で、シール筒24のうち、第1係合突部24aより上方に位置する上端部、および先端部26それぞれの外周面と、吐出孔8の内周面と、の間に、内容物が流通可能な隙間が設けられている。そして、この隙間を通して、計量室6内と容器外部とが連通されている。
先端部26の上端部における内周面には、径方向の内側に向けて突出するとともに周方向に延びる環状または円弧状の被係合部26aが形成されている。
With the application plug 9 positioned at the application position, the distal end portion 26 of the application plug 9 is disposed in the top portion 19 of the measuring cylinder member 7. The outer diameter of the distal end portion 26 is smaller than the outer diameter of the upper portion of the seal cylinder 24 fitted inside the discharge hole 8 when the application plug 9 is located at the measurement position. In the state where the application plug 9 is located at the application position, the outer peripheral surface of each of the upper end portion and the distal end portion 26 located above the first engagement protrusion 24 a and the inner peripheral surface of the discharge hole 8 in the seal cylinder 24. And a gap through which the contents can be distributed is provided. The inside of the measuring chamber 6 communicates with the outside of the container through this gap.
An annular or arcuate engaged portion 26 a that protrudes inward in the radial direction and extends in the circumferential direction is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the upper end portion of the distal end portion 26.

塗布容器1は、容器本体2の口部3に着脱自在に装着されて吐出孔8および塗布栓9の先端部26を覆うキャップ体10を備える。
キャップ体10は、有頂筒状をなしており、その周壁の下部における内周面に、口部3の雄ねじ部に螺着する雌ねじ部が形成されている。雌ねじ部は、例えば二条ねじであってもよい。
なお、キャップ体10が、口部3に着脱可能に螺着されるのに代えて例えば、キャップ体10の平滑な内周面に、口部3の平滑な外周面を着脱可能に嵌合したり、あるいはキャップ体10が口部3に着脱可能にアンダーカット嵌合したりする等、適宜変更してもよい。また、キャップ体10を、口部3に装着するのに代えて例えば、計量筒部材7に装着してもよい。
The application container 1 includes a cap body 10 that is detachably attached to the mouth portion 3 of the container body 2 and covers the discharge hole 8 and the distal end portion 26 of the application plug 9.
The cap body 10 has a top tube shape, and an internal thread portion that is screwed to the external thread portion of the mouth portion 3 is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the lower portion of the peripheral wall. The female thread portion may be, for example, a double thread.
Instead of the cap body 10 being detachably screwed to the mouth portion 3, for example, the smooth outer peripheral surface of the mouth portion 3 is detachably fitted to the smooth inner peripheral surface of the cap body 10. Or, the cap body 10 may be appropriately changed such that the cap body 10 is detachably fitted into the mouth portion 3. Further, instead of attaching the cap body 10 to the mouth portion 3, for example, the cap body 10 may be attached to the measuring cylinder member 7.

キャップ体10の天壁には、下方に向けて突出するとともに、下端部が、塗布位置に位置する塗布栓9の先端部26内に着脱自在に嵌合された引き上げ筒31が形成されている。引き上げ筒31の外周面には、径方向の外側に向けて突出するとともに周方向に延びる環状または円弧状の引き上げ突起31aが形成されている。引き上げ突起31aは、塗布栓9の先端部26の被係合部26aにアンダーカット嵌合されており、キャップ体10の、口部3および計量筒部材7に対する上昇移動に伴い、塗布栓9が引き上げられて塗布位置から計量位置に移動する。   The top wall of the cap body 10 is formed with a lifting cylinder 31 that protrudes downward and has a lower end portion detachably fitted in the distal end portion 26 of the application plug 9 located at the application position. . On the outer peripheral surface of the lifting cylinder 31, an annular or arc-shaped lifting protrusion 31 a that protrudes outward in the radial direction and extends in the circumferential direction is formed. The lifting protrusion 31 a is undercut fitted to the engaged portion 26 a of the distal end portion 26 of the application plug 9. As the cap body 10 moves upward with respect to the mouth portion 3 and the measuring cylinder member 7, the application plug 9 is moved. Pulled up and moved from the application position to the weighing position.

ここで、キャップ体10の引き上げ突起31aが、塗布栓9の被係合部26aから外れるときには、計量位置に位置する塗布栓9のストッパー段部24cが、計量筒部材7における吐出孔8の開口周縁部にその下側から当接することで、塗布栓9がそれ以上に上側に向けて移動することが規制された状態となる。したがって、キャップ体10の引き上げ突起31aが、塗布栓9の被係合部26aから外れる際、塗布栓9には下方に向けた弾性反発力が生ずることとなる。
しかしながら、前述したように、塗布栓9の第1係合突部24aが、計量筒部材7の第2係合突部8aに、第1係合突部24aの下側から係合しているので、塗布栓9の計量位置から下方に向けた移動を規制することができる。
Here, when the lifting protrusion 31 a of the cap body 10 is disengaged from the engaged portion 26 a of the application plug 9, the stopper step portion 24 c of the application plug 9 positioned at the measurement position is the opening of the discharge hole 8 in the measurement cylinder member 7. By abutting the peripheral edge from the lower side, the movement of the coating plug 9 further upward is restricted. Therefore, when the lifting protrusion 31a of the cap body 10 is disengaged from the engaged portion 26a of the coating plug 9, an elastic repulsive force directed downward is generated in the coating plug 9.
However, as described above, the first engagement protrusion 24a of the application plug 9 is engaged with the second engagement protrusion 8a of the measuring cylinder member 7 from below the first engagement protrusion 24a. Therefore, the downward movement of the coating plug 9 from the measuring position can be restricted.

キャップ体10の天壁には、下方に向けて突出し、計量筒部材7の頂部19に着脱自在に外嵌された外嵌筒28が形成されている。
キャップ体10は、計量筒部材7の頂部19にその上方から当接する当接部27を備える。当接部27は、キャップ体10の天壁から下方に向けて突出している。当接部27は、キャップ体10の天壁において、外嵌筒28の内側に位置する部分に配置されている。当接部27は、周方向に間隔をあけて複数配置され、外嵌筒28の内周面と一体に形成されている。当接部27の下端縁は、外嵌筒28の下端開口縁より上方に位置している。当接部27の下端縁が、計量筒部材7の頂部19の上端開口縁に当接している。なお、当接部27は環状に形成されてもよい。
The top wall of the cap body 10 is formed with an external fitting cylinder 28 that protrudes downward and is detachably fitted to the top portion 19 of the measuring cylinder member 7.

A plurality of contact portions 27 are arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction, and are formed integrally with the inner peripheral surface of the outer fitting tube 28. The lower end edge of the contact part 27 is located above the lower end opening edge of the external fitting cylinder 28. The lower end edge of the contact portion 27 is in contact with the upper end opening edge of the top portion 19 of the measuring cylinder member 7. The contact portion 27 may be formed in an annular shape.

キャップ体10の周壁の下端部の内周面には、周方向を向く壁面を備えた段部32が形成されている。キャップ体10が容器本体2の口部3に装着された状態において、段部32は、容器本体2の回り止めリブ3bに周方向から当接可能とされている。段部32が回り止めリブ3bに周方向から当接することで、キャップ体10が口部3に過度に締め込まれることが規制される。   On the inner peripheral surface of the lower end portion of the peripheral wall of the cap body 10, a step portion 32 having a wall surface facing the circumferential direction is formed. In a state where the cap body 10 is attached to the mouth portion 3 of the container main body 2, the stepped portion 32 can be brought into contact with the rotation preventing rib 3 b of the container main body 2 from the circumferential direction. When the stepped portion 32 abuts against the rotation preventing rib 3b from the circumferential direction, the cap body 10 is restricted from being excessively tightened into the mouth portion 3.

そして、本実施形態では、容器本体2は、全域にわたって容器外部から内部が視認不能に形成されている。図示の例では、容器本体2は、遮光性を有する樹脂材料で一体に形成されている。なお、容器本体2としては、透明若しくは半透明の樹脂材料等で形成した成形体を、全域にわたって遮光性を有する例えばフィルム若しくは塗膜等の被覆体で覆った構成とする等適宜変更してもよい。   And in this embodiment, the container main body 2 is formed so that the inside cannot be visually recognized from the outside of the container over the entire region. In the illustrated example, the container body 2 is integrally formed of a resin material having a light shielding property. The container body 2 may be appropriately changed, such as a configuration in which a molded body formed of a transparent or translucent resin material or the like is covered with a covering body such as a film or a coating film having light shielding properties over the entire area.

In order to apply the contents in the container body 2 to the application portion S, first, the cap body 10 is moved upward to be detached from the mouth portion 3 of the container body 2, and the discharge holes 8 and the distal end portions of the application plugs 9. 26 is exposed outside the container. Here, when the cap body 10 is detached, the pulling protrusion 31a of the pulling cylinder 31 and the engaged portion 26a of the tip end portion 26 of the coating plug 9 are engaged with each other in the container axis O direction. The application plug 9 is pulled up by the cap body 10 and moved to the measuring position. At this time, since the male screw portion of the mouth portion 3 and the female screw portion of the cap body 10 are double-threaded screws, the lead of the screw is larger than that of the single-threaded configuration. For this reason, the amount of displacement in the container axis O direction with respect to the amount of rotation of the cap body 10 in the circumferential direction can be increased. As a result, the coating plug 9 can be quickly moved upward, and the cap body 10 can be quickly detached from the mouth 3 of the container body 2.

図4に示すように、塗布栓9が計量位置へ移動させられると、塗布栓9のシール筒24の上部が吐出孔8の内側に嵌合し、塗布栓9のストッパー段部24cが計量筒部材7の連結筒部20の天壁(吐出孔8の開口周縁部)に当接し、また、塗布栓9の第1係合突部24aが、計量筒部材7の第2係合突部8aを上方に乗り越え、第1係合突部24aが、第2係合突部8aに第1係合突部24aの下側から係合する。この際、吐出孔8と計量室6との連通が遮断されている。この状態から、さらに容器本体2の口部3に対してキャップ体10が上側へ移動することで、キャップ体10の引き上げ筒31の引き上げ突起31aが、塗布栓9の先端部26の被係合部26aを上方に乗り越えて、キャップ体10が容器本体2および塗布栓9から取り外される。   As shown in FIG. 4, when the application plug 9 is moved to the measuring position, the upper part of the seal cylinder 24 of the application plug 9 is fitted inside the discharge hole 8, and the stopper step 24c of the application plug 9 is connected to the measurement cylinder. The first engaging protrusion 24 a of the application plug 9 is in contact with the top wall (opening peripheral edge of the discharge hole 8) of the connecting cylinder part 20 of the member 7, and the second engaging protrusion 8 a of the measuring cylinder member 7. The first engagement protrusion 24a is engaged with the second engagement protrusion 8a from below the first engagement protrusion 24a. At this time, the communication between the discharge hole 8 and the measuring chamber 6 is blocked. From this state, the cap body 10 further moves upward with respect to the mouth portion 3 of the container body 2, so that the lifting protrusion 31 a of the lifting cylinder 31 of the cap body 10 is engaged with the distal end portion 26 of the coating plug 9. The cap body 10 is removed from the container main body 2 and the application plug 9 over the portion 26a.

次いで、塗布栓9が計量位置に位置した状態で、塗布容器1を倒立姿勢にすることで、容器本体2内の内容物を連通孔5を通して計量室6内に流入させる。この際、塗布栓9により吐出孔8と計量室6との連通が遮断されているので、計量室6に所定量の内容物が計量される。
次いで、図5に示すように、計量位置に位置する塗布栓9の先端部26を、被塗布部Sに押し付けると、塗布栓9は、塗布位置に向けて移動する。この過程において、塗布栓9の外周面と吐出孔8の内周面との間の隙間を容器外部に開口させるとともに、外挿筒25を中栓部材4の規制部11bに突き当て、また、シール筒24の下端部をシリンダ筒12の周壁の内側に嵌合させる。
これにより、塗布容器1は、計量室6と連通孔5との連通が遮断されるとともに、吐出孔8と計量室6とが連通し、吐出孔8の内周面と塗布栓9の先端部26の外周面との間の隙間を通して内容物を被塗布部Sに塗布することができる。
Next, the content in the container body 2 is caused to flow into the measurement chamber 6 through the communication hole 5 by placing the application container 1 in an inverted posture with the application plug 9 positioned at the measurement position. At this time, since the communication between the discharge hole 8 and the measuring chamber 6 is blocked by the application plug 9, a predetermined amount of content is measured in the measuring chamber 6.
Next, as shown in FIG. 5, when the distal end portion 26 of the application plug 9 located at the measurement position is pressed against the application portion S, the application plug 9 moves toward the application position. In this process, the gap between the outer peripheral surface of the application plug 9 and the inner peripheral surface of the discharge hole 8 is opened to the outside of the container, and the outer insertion cylinder 25 is abutted against the regulating portion 11b of the inner plug member 4, The lower end portion of the seal cylinder 24 is fitted inside the peripheral wall of the cylinder cylinder 12.
As a result, the application container 1 is disconnected from the measurement chamber 6 and the communication hole 5, and is connected to the discharge hole 8 and the measurement chamber 6, so that the inner peripheral surface of the discharge hole 8 and the tip of the application plug 9 are provided. The content can be applied to the application portion S through the gap between the outer peripheral surface 26 and the outer peripheral surface.

そして使用後(塗布後)は、キャップ体10の引き上げ筒31の下端部を、塗布栓9の先端部26内に嵌合させつつ、引き上げ筒31の引き上げ突起31aを、先端部26の被係合部26aに被係合部26aの上方から当接させた状態で、キャップ体10の雌ねじ部を容器本体2の口部3の雄ねじ部に螺合することによって、引き上げ突起31aを、被係合部26aを下方に乗り越えさせるとともに、キャップ体10を容器本体2の口部3に装着する。   After use (after application), the lower end portion of the lifting cylinder 31 of the cap body 10 is fitted into the distal end portion 26 of the coating plug 9, and the lifting protrusion 31 a of the lifting cylinder 31 is engaged with the distal end portion 26. With the female threaded portion of the cap body 10 screwed into the male threaded portion of the mouth portion 3 of the container body 2 with the mating portion 26a being in contact with the engaged portion 26a from above, the lifting protrusion 31a is The cap 26 is mounted on the mouth 3 of the container body 2 while the joint 26a is moved downward.
