Description

本発明は、点鼻用内容物放出機構に関し、特に点鼻用内容物放出用の筒状出力部を鼻腔に入れた状態で用いる場合にその挿入位置を利用者が無意識に設定可能とした点鼻用内容物放出機構に関する。   The present invention relates to a nasal contents discharge mechanism, and in particular, when the cylindrical output part for nasal contents discharge is used in a state of being put in a nasal cavity, the insertion position can be set unconsciously by a user. The present invention relates to a nasal contents release mechanism.

また、このような点鼻用内容物放出機構を備えたポンプ式製品およびエアゾール式製品を対象としている。   Moreover, the pump type product and aerosol type product provided with such a nasal contents discharge | release mechanism are targeted.

なお、本明細書において容器本体，キャップ部材およびカバー筐体などの長手方向（図示上下方向）を「縦」といい、この「縦」と略直交する方向を「横」という。   In this specification, the longitudinal direction (the vertical direction in the figure) of the container body, the cap member, the cover housing, and the like is referred to as “vertical”, and the direction substantially orthogonal to the “vertical” is referred to as “horizontal”.

また、内容物放出操作の対象である回動操作部材，スライド操作部材が操作されていない点鼻用内容物放出機構の初期状態を「静止状態」という。   Further, the initial state of the nasal content discharge mechanism in which the rotation operation member and the slide operation member that are the targets of the content discharge operation are not operated is referred to as a “still state”.

従来、内容物放出用の筒状出力部を鼻腔に入れた状態で用いる点鼻用内容物放出機構が提案されている（特許文献１参照）。   2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a nasal content discharge mechanism has been proposed that uses a cylindrical output portion for discharging content in a state where the nasal cavity is placed (see Patent Document 1).

この点鼻用内容物放出機構は、「管状部（本発明の筒状出力部に相当）」上端側の「噴射孔（本発明の内容物放出孔に相当）」のいわば開閉フタとして作用する「カバー部」を回動させることにより、内容物放出機構上端側の「噴射孔」から内容物が外部に噴射されるものである。   This nasal contents discharge mechanism acts as a so-called opening / closing lid of the “tubular part (corresponding to the cylindrical output part of the present invention)” and the “injection hole (corresponding to the content discharge hole of the present invention)” on the upper end side. By rotating the “cover part”, the contents are ejected to the outside through the “injection holes” on the upper end side of the contents discharge mechanism.

特表２００３−５０４２８０号公報Special table 2003-504280 gazette

このように従来の点鼻用内容物放出機構においては、内容物放出用の管状部が鼻腔のどの部分まで入った状態で内容物が噴射開始されるかは利用者間にバラツキがあった。   As described above, in the conventional nasal contents discharge mechanism, there is a variation between users in which part of the nasal cavity is filled with the contents discharge tubular part.

そのため、利用者が内容物放出操作をする際、管状部の挿入位置が浅い場合には内容物が鼻腔奥に十分拡散されず、鼻腔外に漏れて周囲を汚すことがあり、また、逆に管状部の挿入位置が深い場合には噴射孔が鼻腔奥の粘膜に近づきすぎるために噴射された内容物がこの粘膜に集中して十分拡散されないという問題点があった。   For this reason, when the user performs the contents discharge operation, if the insertion position of the tubular portion is shallow, the contents may not be sufficiently diffused into the back of the nasal cavity and may leak out of the nasal cavity and stain the surroundings. When the insertion position of the tubular portion is deep, the injection hole is too close to the mucous membrane at the back of the nasal cavity, so that the injected content is concentrated on the mucosa and is not sufficiently diffused.

本発明では、内容物放出用の筒状出力部を鼻腔に入れた状態で用いる場合にその挿入位置を利用者が無意識に設定可能な出力部形状にして、鼻腔への内容物放出操作上の利便性確保を図ることを目的とする。   In the present invention, when a cylindrical output part for discharging contents is used in a state where it is put in the nasal cavity, the insertion position is made into an output part shape that can be set unconsciously by the user, and the contents are discharged into the nasal cavity. The purpose is to ensure convenience.

(21) The upper end portion of the stem 4 is fitted and held in the concave portions 5f and 7g of the cover housings 5 and 7,
(22) The rotation operation member 6 of FIG. 1 is engaged with the pair of vertical convex portions 6d in contact with the inner surface of the cover casing near the vertical edge of the rotation operation opening 5b, and is locked. The upper end of the bifurcated portion 6b is in contact with the ring-shaped portion 2e of the cap member 2 to hold the cap member,

A pair of outward cylindrical portions 3e of the cap member 3 abut on the cam surface 8c (the lower end portion thereof) and the horizontal cam surface 8d to hold the cap member,
(24) A well-known discharge valve (not shown) set at the lower end of the stem 4 is closed, and the contents discharge passage area of the stem is set not to communicate with the contents storage space areas of the housings 2f and 3f. Has been.

図３は、利用者がカバー筐体５の環状段部５ｈを鼻腔９の入口部分に当ててから図１の回動操作部材６をＡ方向に回動操作したときの、内容物放出状態を示している。   FIG. 3 shows a state in which the contents are released when the user turns the rotating operation member 6 of FIG. 1 in the direction A after the annular step 5h of the cover housing 5 is applied to the entrance portion of the nasal cavity 9. Show.

すなわち、回動操作部材６のＡ方向への回動操作によりその二股部分６ｂの先端上部がキャップ部材２の環鍔状部２ｅに当接してこれを持ち上げる。   That is, when the turning operation member 6 is turned in the A direction, the upper end of the bifurcated portion 6b comes into contact with the ring-shaped portion 2e of the cap member 2 and lifts it up.

このキャップ部材２の持上げ作動にともない、これと一体の容器本体１およびハウジング２ｆが、ハウジング内部でステム４との間に設けられた周知のコイルスプリング（図示省略）の弾性力に抗して上動する。その結果、ハウジング２ｆにおける次回放出対象内容物の貯留空間域、すなわち当該ステム下端側の吐出弁（図示省略）と、ハウジング内部下側に設定された周知の吸込弁（図示省略）との間の空間域容積が減少してそこの貯留内容物の圧力が上昇する。   As the cap member 2 is lifted, the container body 1 and the housing 2f integrated with the cap member 2 rise against the elastic force of a well-known coil spring (not shown) provided between the stem 4 and the inside of the housing. Move. As a result, the space for storing the contents to be released next time in the housing 2f, that is, between the discharge valve (not shown) on the lower end side of the stem and the well-known suction valve (not shown) set on the lower side inside the housing. The space volume decreases and the pressure of the stored contents increases.

そして、この圧力上昇により吐出弁がそれまでの「閉」から「開」へと移行する。このときの吸込弁は「閉」のままである。   Then, due to this pressure increase, the discharge valve shifts from “closed” to “open”. The suction valve at this time remains “closed”.

この吐出弁「開」への移行により、ハウジング内部の貯留空間域の内容物が当該吐出弁からステム４の内容物放出通路域およびカバー筐体５の内容物出力通路域５ｅを経て内容物放出孔５ｇから鼻腔９へ放出される。   By shifting to the discharge valve “open”, the contents in the storage space area inside the housing are discharged from the discharge valve through the contents discharge passage area of the stem 4 and the contents output passage area 5 e of the cover housing 5. It is discharged from the hole 5g to the nasal cavity 9.

利用者がＡ方向への回動操作を解除すると、カバー筐体５に係合固定されたステム４に対し、キャップ部材２およびこれと一体の容器本体１がコイルスプリング（図示省略）の弾性力や当該容器本体，当該キャップ部材の自重などに基づいて下動する。   When the user releases the rotation operation in the A direction, the cap member 2 and the container body 1 integrated with the stem member 4 engaged and fixed to the cover housing 5 are elasticized by a coil spring (not shown). Or the container body, the cap member, or the like, based on its own weight.

そして、キャップ部材２などは、その環鍔状部２ｅの回動操作部材６の二股部分６ｂに対する押下げ作用により当該回動操作部材の一対の縦凸状部６ｄが上述のようにカバー筐体５の内面部分に係合した状態に保持される。   Then, the cap member 2 or the like has a pair of vertical convex portions 6d of the rotation operation member as described above by the pressing action of the ring-shaped portion 2e on the bifurcated portion 6b of the rotation operation member 6. 5 is held in an engaged state with the inner surface portion.

すなわち、吐出弁（図示省略）および吸込弁（図示省略）がともに「閉」状態の、図１の静止状態へと復帰する。   That is, both the discharge valve (not shown) and the suction valve (not shown) return to the stationary state of FIG.

図６は、利用者がカバー筐体７の環状段部７ｊを鼻腔９の入口部分に当ててからスライド操作部材８をＢ方向にスライド操作したときの、内容物放出状態を示している。   FIG. 6 shows a content release state when the user slides the slide operation member 8 in the B direction after the user places the annular step 7j of the cover housing 7 on the entrance portion of the nasal cavity 9.

すなわち、スライド操作部材８のＢ方向へのスライド操作により、キャップ部材３の一対の外向き円柱状部３ｅがそれぞれ傾斜カム面８ｃに倣って上方向へ駆動される。   That is, by the slide operation of the slide operation member 8 in the B direction, the pair of outward cylindrical portions 3e of the cap member 3 are driven upward along the inclined cam surface 8c.

この円柱状部３ｅの上動、すなわちキャップ部材３およびこれと一体の容器本体１のステム４に対する上動にともない、図３の場合と同様の弁作動が生じて、ハウジング３ｆ内部の貯留空間域の内容物がステム４の内容物放出通路域およびカバー筐体７の内容物出力通路域７ｆを経て内容物放出孔７ｈから鼻腔９へ放出される。   With the upward movement of the cylindrical portion 3e, that is, the upward movement of the cap member 3 and the stem 4 of the container body 1 integral therewith, a valve operation similar to that in the case of FIG. Is discharged from the content discharge hole 7h to the nasal cavity 9 through the content discharge passage area of the stem 4 and the content output path area 7f of the cover housing 7.

このときも、カバー筐体７の上側筒状部７ｅの鼻腔９への挿入位置は当該上側筒状部の環状段部７ｊで設定されている。   Also at this time, the insertion position of the upper cylindrical portion 7e of the cover casing 7 into the nasal cavity 9 is set by the annular step portion 7j of the upper cylindrical portion.

次に利用者がＢ方向へのスライド操作を解除すると、カバー筐体７に係合固定されたステム４に対し、キャップ部材３およびこれと一体の容器本体１が当該キャップ部材のハウジング内部に設けられたコイルスプリング（図示省略）の弾性力や当該容器本体，当該キャップ部材の自重などに基づいて下動する。   Next, when the user releases the sliding operation in the B direction, the cap member 3 and the container body 1 integral with the stem 4 fixed to the cover housing 7 are provided inside the housing of the cap member. The coil spring is moved down based on the elastic force of the coil spring (not shown), the container body, and the weight of the cap member.

そして、キャップ部材３などはその円柱状部３ｅのカム作用により、当該円柱状部がスライド操作部材８の傾斜カム面８ｃ（の下端部分）および水平カム面８ｄに当接して、当該スライド操作部材の一対の縦凸状部８ｅが上述のようにカバー筐体７の内面部分に係合した状態に保持される。すなわち図４の静止状態へと復帰する。 Then, the cap member 3 and the like come into contact with the inclined cam surface 8c (the lower end portion thereof) and the horizontal cam surface 8d of the slide operation member 8 by the cam action of the columnar portion 3e, and the slide operation member The pair of vertical convex portions 8e are held in a state of being engaged with the inner surface portion of the cover housing 7 as described above. That is, it returns to the stationary state of FIG.

図７および図１０はそれぞれ「回動操作，出力部上下動」および「スライド操作，出力部上下動」の各タイプの内容物放出機構における静止状態を示している。   FIG. 7 and FIG. 10 show the stationary state in each type of content discharge mechanism of “rotation operation, vertical movement of output unit” and “slide operation, vertical movement of output unit”, respectively.

このとき、
(31)ステム２３は、その上端部分がアクチュエータ２５，２８の下側筒状部２５ｄ，２８ｄに嵌合し、
(32)図７の回動操作部材２６は、その操作部２６ａの上端がカバー筐体２４の回動操作用開口部２４ｂの上端および環状天部２４ｃに当接し、かつ、一対の凸状部２６ｄがアクチュエータ２５の環鍔状部２５ｂと当接し、
(33)図１０のスライド操作部材２９は、その一対の凸状部２９ｅがそれぞれスライド操作用開口部２７ｂの縦縁部近くのカバー筐体内面に当接して係止され、かつ、その傾斜カム面２９ｃ（の上端部分）および水平カム面２９ｄにアクチュエータ２８の一対の外向き凸状部２８ｂが当接して当該アクチュエータを保持し、
(34)ステム２３の下端部に設定された周知の吐出弁（図示省略）が閉塞して、当該ステムの内容物放出通路域は、ハウジング２２ｂの内容物貯留空間域と連通しない状態に設定されている。 At this time,
(31) The upper end portion of the stem 23 is fitted to the lower cylindrical portions 25d and 28d of the actuators 25 and 28,
(32) The rotation operation member 26 of FIG. 7 has the upper end of the operation portion 26a in contact with the upper end of the rotation operation opening 24b of the cover housing 24 and the annular top 24c, and a pair of convex portions. 26d is in contact with the ring- shaped portion 25b of the actuator 25,
(33) The slide operation member 29 of FIG. 10 has its pair of convex portions 29e in contact with the inner surface of the cover housing near the vertical edge of the slide operation opening 27b, and is locked. A pair of outwardly projecting convex portions 28b of the actuator 28 abut on the surface 29c (the upper end portion thereof) and the horizontal cam surface 29d to hold the actuator,
(34) A well-known discharge valve (not shown) set at the lower end portion of the stem 23 is closed, and the content discharge passage area of the stem is set to a state not communicating with the content storage space area of the housing 22b. ing.

図９は、利用者がアクチュエータ２５の環状段部２５ｆを鼻腔９の入口部分に当ててから回動操作部材２６をＡ方向に回動操作したときの、内容物放出状態を示している。   FIG. 9 shows a content release state when the user applies the annular step portion 25f of the actuator 25 to the entrance portion of the nasal cavity 9 and then rotates the rotation operation member 26 in the A direction.

すなわち、回動操作部材２６のＡ方向への回動操作によりその一対の凸状部２６ｄがアクチュエータ２５の環鍔状部２５ｂに当接してこれを押し下げる。 That is, by the turning operation of the turning operation member 26 in the A direction, the pair of convex portions 26 d abut against the ring- shaped portion 25 b of the actuator 25 and push it down.

この環鍔状部２５ｂの押下げによって、ステム２３がキャップ部材２２のハウジング２２ｂの内部に設けられたコイルスプリング（図示省略）の弾性力に抗して押し下げられ、図３の場合と同様に、当該ハウジング内部の貯留空間域の内容物が当該ステムの内容物放出通路域およびアクチュエータ２５の内容物出力通路域２５ｃを経て内容物放出孔２５ｅから鼻腔９へ放出される。 By pushing down the ring- shaped portion 25b, the stem 23 is pushed down against the elastic force of a coil spring (not shown) provided inside the housing 22b of the cap member 22, and as in the case of FIG. The contents in the storage space inside the housing are discharged from the contents discharge hole 25e to the nasal cavity 9 through the contents discharge passage area of the stem and the contents output passage area 25c of the actuator 25.

したがって、アクチュエータ２５の環状段部２５ｆが鼻腔９の入口部分から離間しながら内容物は鼻腔９へ放出される。   Accordingly, the contents are discharged into the nasal cavity 9 while the annular step 25 f of the actuator 25 is separated from the inlet portion of the nasal cavity 9.

次に利用者がＡ方向への回動操作を解除すると、アクチュエータ２５に係合固定されたステム２３がコイルスプリング（図示省略）の弾性力で上動し、環鍔状部２５ｂと一対の凸状部２６ｄとの押圧作用により回動操作部材２６が上方向に駆動されて図７の静止状態へと復帰する。 Next, when the user releases the turning operation in the A direction, the stem 23 engaged and fixed to the actuator 25 is moved up by the elastic force of the coil spring (not shown), and the ring- shaped portion 25b and the pair of protrusions are moved. The rotating operation member 26 is driven upward by the pressing action with the shaped portion 26d and returns to the stationary state of FIG.

図１２は、利用者がアクチュエータ２８の環状段部２８ｆを鼻腔９の入口部分に当ててからスライド操作部材２９をＢ方向にスライド操作したときの、内容物放出状態を示している。   FIG. 12 shows a content discharge state when the user slides the slide operation member 29 in the B direction after placing the annular step portion 28f of the actuator 28 on the entrance portion of the nasal cavity 9.

すなわち、スライド操作部材２９のＢ方向へのスライド操作により、アクチュエータ２８の一対の外向き凸状部２８ｂがそれぞれ傾斜カム面２９ｃに倣って下方向へ駆動される。 That is, by the slide operation of the slide operation member 29 in the B direction, the pair of outward convex portions 28b of the actuator 28 is driven downward along the inclined cam surface 29c.

この外向き凸状部２８ｂの下方向へ駆動によって、ステム２３がキャップ部材２２のハウジング２２ｂの内部に設けられたコイルスプリング（図示省略）の弾性力に抗して押し下げられ、図３の場合と同様に、当該ハウジング内部の貯留空間域の内容物が当該ステムの内容物放出通路域およびアクチュエータ２８の内容物出力通路域２８ｃを経て内容物放出孔２８ｅから鼻腔９へ放出される。   By driving the outward convex portion 28b downward, the stem 23 is pushed down against the elastic force of a coil spring (not shown) provided inside the housing 22b of the cap member 22, and the case of FIG. Similarly, the contents in the storage space region inside the housing are discharged from the content discharge hole 28e to the nasal cavity 9 through the content discharge passage region of the stem and the content output passage region 28c of the actuator 28.

したがって、アクチュエータ２８の環状段部２８ｆが鼻腔９の入口部分から離間しながら内容物は鼻腔９へ放出される。   Therefore, the contents are discharged into the nasal cavity 9 while the annular step 28 f of the actuator 28 is separated from the entrance portion of the nasal cavity 9.

次に利用者がＢ方向へのスライド操作を解除すると、アクチュエータ２８に係合固定されたステム２３がコイルスプリング（図示省略）の弾性力で上動し、外向き凸状部２８ｂと傾斜カム面２９ｃとのカム作用によりスライド操作部材２９が逆Ｂ方向に駆動されて図１０の静止状態へと復帰する。 Next, when the user releases the sliding operation in the B direction, the stem 23 engaged and fixed to the actuator 28 is moved upward by the elastic force of a coil spring (not shown), and the outward convex portion 28b and the inclined cam surface are moved. The slide operation member 29 is driven in the reverse B direction by the cam action with 29c to return to the stationary state of FIG.

以上の内容物放出状態（図３，図６，図９，図１２）から静止状態（図１，図４，図７，図１０）への復帰プロセスの際には、ハウジング２ｆ，３ｆ，２２ｂの内部の貯留空間域容積が増加してそこでの内容物圧力が低下し、これにともない当該ハウジング内部下側に設定された吸込弁がそれまでの「閉」から「開」へと変化して容器本体１，２１の内容物が当該ハウジングの貯留空間域に流入する。この流入内容物が次回の放出対象となる。また、内容物の流入による貯留空間域圧力の増加に応じて吸込弁は閉じる。   In the process of returning from the above-described content release state (FIGS. 3, 6, 9, and 12) to the stationary state (FIGS. 1, 4, 7, and 10), the housings 2f, 3f, and 22b The internal storage space volume increases and the pressure of the contents decreases, and the suction valve set on the lower side inside the housing changes from “closed” to “open”. The contents of the container main bodies 1 and 21 flow into the storage space area of the housing. This inflow content becomes the next discharge target. Further, the suction valve is closed in accordance with an increase in the storage space pressure due to the inflow of contents.

なお、このような回動操作部材６，２６のＡ方向への回動操作およびその回動操作解除ならびにスライド操作部材８，２９のＢ方向へのスライド操作およびそのスライド操作解除のそれぞれにともなう吐出弁および吸込弁の作動自体は周知である。   It is to be noted that such discharge operation associated with the rotation operation of the rotation operation members 6 and 26 in the A direction and the release of the rotation operation and the slide operation of the slide operation members 8 and 29 in the B direction and the release of the slide operation are performed. The operation of the valve and the suction valve itself is well known.

エアゾール式製品の場合には、上述の「容器本体１＋キャップ部材２，３＋ステム４」または「容器本体２１＋キャップ部材２２＋ステム２３」の代わりに「吐出弁を開閉するステムを備え、噴射用ガスおよび内容物を収容した周知のエアゾール式容器」を用い、「環鍔状部２ｅ，外向き円柱状部３ｅを備えたキャップ相当部材」または「カバー筐体２４，２７」は当該エアゾール式容器の「マウンテンキャップ」や「容器本体」などに取り付ければよい。   In the case of an aerosol type product, instead of the above-mentioned “container body 1 + cap members 2, 3 + stem 4” or “container body 21 + cap member 22 + stem 23”, a “stem that opens and closes a discharge valve is provided, Using the well-known aerosol container containing the contents, the “cap equivalent member provided with the ring-shaped part 2e and the outward cylindrical part 3e” or the “cover housings 24 and 27” is “ What is necessary is just to attach to a "mountain cap" or a "container body".
