【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、外装体に囲まれた内容器の下部より蛇口ユニットを介して内容器内の液体を吐出する液体供給用容器の蛇口ユニット固定方法に関するものである。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
従来、液体供給用容器は上端に広口と下端に細口とを備えた有底筒状の内容器を設け、この内容器の胴部を所定の間隔を隔てて囲んだ外装ケースを設け、この外装体の下端に底部材を結合し、上端に肩部材を結合して、この外装ケース、底部材及び肩部材を外装体とし、この外装体の肩部材上端に着脱自在に装着し、内容器の広口を開閉する蓋体を設け、後端を内容器の細口と連結し、先端を外装体の前面下部に突出して、内容器内の液体を吐出する蛇口ユニットを設けていた。
【０００３】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、この種の液体供給用容器では内容器の細口の孔あけ場所によって、蛇口ユニットを外装体に固定するか或いは内容器に固定するか相違していた。即ち、内容器の細口が内容器の前壁の下部に孔あけされた場合には内容器に蛇口ユニットを固定できるが、細口が内容器の底部に孔あけされた場合には外装体に蛇口ユニットを固定することとなる。
従って、蛇口ユニットも内容器に固定するものと、外装体に固定するものとでは必然的に相違することとなって内容器へ固定するもの或いは外装体へ固定するものと相似的な蛇口ユニットの金型、組立を必要とし、非常にコストアップとなると共に取り付け作業も繁雑であるという問題点があった。
【０００４】
そこで、本発明は上記の問題点を解決するためになされたものであって、内容器へ固定する蛇口ユニット或いは外装体へ固定する蛇口ユニットとを共用して低コスト化すると共に取り付け作業も容易で大幅なコストの底廉をはかることができる液体供給用容器の蛇口ユニット固定方法を提供することを目的としている。
