Description

本発明は、内容物放出操作に連動してハウジング内部のピストンが弾性力に抗しながら移動するときの操作初期段階で、吸込弁(吸込弁座+吸込弁体)と吐出弁(吐出弁座+吐出弁体)との間のハウジング内部空間域に収容済みの内容物の圧力が増加して、当該吐出弁をそれまでの閉状態から開状態へとシフトさせるポンプ機構に関する。   The present invention relates to a suction valve (suction valve seat + suction valve body) and a discharge valve (discharge valve seat) at an initial stage of operation when the piston inside the housing moves against the elastic force in conjunction with the content discharge operation. The present invention relates to a pump mechanism that shifts the discharge valve from the closed state to the open state by increasing the pressure of the contents accommodated in the housing internal space region between the + discharge valve body).

特に、内容物放出操作の初期段階における上記内容物の圧力増加に応じた吐出弁の開状態シフトに際し、
吐出弁体の一部(静止モードにおける吐出弁座との密接部分)が変形して吐出弁座から離間するのではなく、
吐出弁体の全体が当該圧力増加に基づく上方向などに移動して吐出弁座から離間する、
ように設定したポンプ機構に関する。
In particular, at the time of shifting the open state of the discharge valve according to the pressure increase of the content in the initial stage of the content discharge operation,
Rather than the part of the discharge valve body (the part close to the discharge valve seat in the stationary mode) deformed and separated from the discharge valve seat,
The entire discharge valve body moves upward and the like based on the pressure increase and is separated from the discharge valve seat.
The pump mechanism is set as follows.

容器本体に取り付けられて次回放出対象の内容物を収容するハウジングの内部空間域に、吸込弁体,吸込弁座,吐出弁体、および吐出弁座かつ内容物通路域として作用するピストンなどを配設した形のポンプ機構が、広く使用されている(特許文献1参照)。   A suction valve body, a suction valve seat, a discharge valve body, and a piston acting as a discharge valve seat and a content passage area are arranged in the internal space of the housing that is attached to the container body and accommodates the contents to be released next time. An installed pump mechanism is widely used (see Patent Document 1).

この従来のポンプ機構は、内容物放出操作時のピストンのいわば初期移動に基づくハウジング内部空間域の収容内容物の圧力増加にともない、吐出弁体の一部であってそれまで吐出弁座(ピストンの一部)と密接していた弁体作用部が変形する。   This conventional pump mechanism is a part of the discharge valve body and the discharge valve seat (piston) until the increase in the pressure of the contents contained in the inner space of the housing based on the initial movement of the piston during the content discharge operation. The part of the valve element that was in close contact with the part of the part is deformed.

なお、このハウジング内部空間域の圧力増加にともないその中の吐出弁体の全体が移動せずに、弁体作用部が変形するのは、当該吐出弁体の上端側(移動対象方向側)がハウジング固定用のネジキャップなどに当接した状態で係止されているからである。   It should be noted that the valve body acting part is deformed without moving the entire discharge valve body in accordance with the increase in pressure in the housing internal space, and the upper end side (movement target direction side) of the discharge valve body is deformed. This is because it is locked in a state of being in contact with a screw cap for fixing the housing.

この吐出弁の弁体作用部の変形作用により、それまでの当該弁体作用部と吐出弁座(ピストンの一部)との密接状態が解除される。すなわち吐出弁が静止モードの閉状態から作動モードの開状態へと移行する。   Due to the deforming action of the valve body action part of the discharge valve, the close state between the valve body action part and the discharge valve seat (a part of the piston) is canceled. That is, the discharge valve shifts from the closed state in the stationary mode to the open state in the operating mode.

また、ピストンを静止モード位置に付勢するためのコイルスプリングは、ハウジング内部空間域すなわち各種性状の放出対象内容物を収容する空間域に設けられている。   In addition, a coil spring for biasing the piston to the stationary mode position is provided in a housing internal space area, that is, a space area in which various contents to be discharged are accommodated.

特開2002−219387号公報JP 2002-219387A

このような従来のポンプ機構の場合、内容物放出操作の初期段階におけるハウジング内部空間域の内容物圧力増加にともなう吐出弁体(弁作用部)の変形作用により、吐出弁をそれまでの閉状態から開状態にシフトさせている。   In the case of such a conventional pump mechanism, the discharge valve is closed by the deformation action of the discharge valve body (valve action portion) accompanying the increase in the content pressure in the internal space of the housing in the initial stage of the content discharge operation. Shifted from open to open.

この吐出弁体(弁作用部)は、静止モードにおいてピストン側の吐出弁座と強く密接し、かつ、内容物放出操作の初期段階のときはこの密接状態を解除して吐出弁の開状態が設定され、内容物放出操作の終了時には当該開状態から当該密接状態に復帰するように、一時変形しえる強弾性状のものである。   This discharge valve body (valve action portion) is in close contact with the piston-side discharge valve seat in the stationary mode, and at the initial stage of the content discharge operation, this close state is released and the discharge valve is opened. It is set and is a strong elastic material that can be temporarily deformed so as to return to the close state from the open state at the end of the content discharge operation.

そのため、静止モードの吐出弁体の弁作用部を変形させるための放出操作に必要な操作部材の作動荷重が大きくなり、子供や女性などにとってはハードな内容物放出操作を強いられることになりかねない。   Therefore, the operating load of the operation member necessary for the discharge operation for deforming the valve action part of the discharge valve body in the stationary mode increases, and it may be forced to perform a hard content discharge operation for children and women. Absent.

この作動荷重を少しでも小さくするため、本発明では、吐出弁体が、放出操作初期段階のハウジング内部空間域の内容物圧力増加にともないその受圧方向に移動できるようにしている。   In order to reduce this operating load as much as possible, in the present invention, the discharge valve body is allowed to move in the pressure receiving direction as the content pressure increases in the housing internal space at the initial stage of the discharge operation.

すなわち、ハウジング内部空間域の内容物圧力が増加したときに吐出弁体とともに移動するスライド部材を新たに設けている。   That is, a slide member that moves together with the discharge valve body when the content pressure in the housing internal space increases is newly provided.

このスライド部材の採用にともない、内容物放出操作時における操作部材の作動荷重を従来の吐出弁体変形態様の内容物放出操作の場合よりも小さくして、利用者の内容物放出操作のソフト化,利便化を図ることを目的とする。   With the adoption of this slide member, the operating load of the operation member at the time of the content discharge operation is made smaller than in the case of the content discharge operation of the conventional discharge valve body deformation mode, and the user's content discharge operation is made soft The purpose is to improve convenience.

また、ピストンを静止モード位置に付勢するための弾性部材を、放出対象内容物の収容空間域や通路空間域などの外側にいわば隔離された形で設けて、当該内容物との化学反応などに基づく当該弾性部材の変性,劣化などを抑止し、内容物放出操作の長期にわたるソフト化,利便化を図ることを目的とする。   Also, an elastic member for urging the piston to the stationary mode position is provided in an isolated form outside the accommodation space area or passage space area of the contents to be released, and chemical reaction with the contents, etc. The purpose is to prevent the modification and deterioration of the elastic member based on the above, and to make the contents release operation long-term soft and convenient.

アウタースプリング8は金属製や合成樹脂製のもの、環状パッキン10はゴム製や合成樹脂製のものである。   The outer spring 8 is made of metal or synthetic resin, and the annular packing 10 is made of rubber or synthetic resin.

上述したように吸込弁座2dと吸込弁体4(弁体作用部4a)とで吸込弁が形成され、また環凹状の吐出弁座5g,環壁状の吐出弁座5hと吐出弁体6(弁体作用部6d)とで吐出弁が形成されている。   As described above, the suction valve seat 2d and the suction valve body 4 (valve action portion 4a) form a suction valve, and the ring-shaped discharge valve seat 5g, the ring-walled discharge valve seat 5h, and the discharge valve body 6 A discharge valve is formed by the (valve element action portion 6d).

内容物放出操作がおこなわれていない図1の静止モードのとき、これら吸込弁および吐出弁がともに閉じ、吸込弁と吐出弁との間のハウジング内部空間域Aには内容物が収容されている。この収容内容物が次回の放出対象である。   When the content discharge operation is not performed, the suction valve and the discharge valve are both closed in the stationary mode of FIG. 1, and the content is accommodated in the housing internal space A between the suction valve and the discharge valve. . This stored content is the next release target.

図示の実施形態の基本的特徴は、
(21)静止モードから内容物放出状態に移行するための内容物放出操作の初期段階で、吸込弁と吐出弁との間のハウジング内部空間域Aの容積が減少してその収容内容物の圧力が増加するときに、吐出弁体6の全体が上動してその弁座から離間するようにした、すなわちこれまでのように吐出弁体6の弁体作用部6dが弾性変形して吐出弁座5g,5hから離間するのではなく、
(22)吐出弁体6の全体が上動する際にこれと連動し、かつ、その最下位置がハウジング2によって設定されるスライドリング7を設け、
(23)内容物放出操作用のスパウト9と一体で吐出弁座5g,5hを備えたピストン5と、スライドリング7との間の放出対象内容物が流入しえない空間域に、当該ピストンおよび当該スライドリングをそれぞれ図1の静止モード位置の方に付勢するためのアウタースプリング8を配設した、
ことなどである。
The basic features of the illustrated embodiment are:
(21) At the initial stage of the content discharge operation for shifting from the stationary mode to the content discharge state, the volume of the housing internal space A between the suction valve and the discharge valve decreases and the pressure of the stored content When the flow rate increases, the entire discharge valve body 6 moves upward and is separated from the valve seat, that is, the valve body action portion 6d of the discharge valve body 6 is elastically deformed as before, and the discharge valve Rather than being separated from the seats 5g and 5h,
(22) A slide ring 7 is provided which is interlocked with the entire discharge valve body 6 when it moves upward and whose lowest position is set by the housing 2;
(23) The piston and the piston 5 having the discharge valve seats 5g and 5h integrated with the spout 9 for content discharge operation and the slide ring 7 are placed in a space area where the content to be discharged cannot flow. Outer springs 8 for urging the slide rings toward the stationary mode position in FIG.
And so on.

このような基本的特徴を有する蓄圧式,直圧式それぞれのポンプ機構は、
(31)スパウト9の放出操作に必要な作動荷重を小さくできる、例えば従来の吐出弁体が変形するポンプ機構での作動荷重「3.0kgf〜4.0kgf」に対して略「2.0kgf」程度の力でよく、内容物放出操作のソフト化を図ることができ、
(32)ピストン5およびスパウト9を静止モード位置に付勢するアウタースプリング8が放出対象内容物と接触しない空間域に配設されているので、内容物との化学反応などに基づく当該スプリングの変性,劣化を阻止することができる。
The pressure accumulation type and direct pressure type pump mechanisms having such basic features are as follows:
(31) The operating load required for the spout 9 discharge operation can be reduced, for example, a force of about “2.0 kgf” with respect to the operating load “3.0 kgf to 4.0 kgf” in the conventional pump mechanism in which the discharge valve body is deformed. Can be used to soften the contents release operation,
(32) Since the outer spring 8 that biases the piston 5 and the spout 9 to the stationary mode position is disposed in a space area that does not come into contact with the contents to be discharged, the spring is modified based on chemical reaction with the contents. , Can prevent deterioration.

なお、容器本体1に取り付ける前のいわばポンプユニット(ハウジング2,ネジキャップ3,吸込弁体4,ピストン5,吐出弁体6,スライドリング7,アウタースプリング8,スパウト9,環状パッキン10,吸上げパイプ11)の組立手順は、例えば次のようになる。   It should be noted that the pump unit (housing 2, screw cap 3, suction valve body 4, piston 5, discharge valve body 6, slide ring 7, outer spring 8, spout 9, annular packing 10, sucking up before being attached to the container body 1 The assembly procedure of the pipe 11) is, for example, as follows.

(41)ピストン上部5aの下方からアウタースプリング8,スライドリング7,吐出弁体6を順にセットした後、その下方からピストン下部5bを取り付けてピストン5とし、
(42)吸込弁体4をハウジング2にその上方から取り付け、かつ環状パッキン10をハウジング2の環鍔状部2aにその下方から嵌合させ、

(44)次に、ネジキャップ3をハウジング2の環鍔状部2aにその上方から取り付け、
(45)次に、スパウト9をピストン5の上端に取り付け、
(46)任意の段階で、ハウジング2の小径筒状部2cに吸上げパイプ11を取り付ける。
(41) After setting the outer spring 8, the slide ring 7, and the discharge valve body 6 in this order from the lower part of the piston upper part 5a, the piston lower part 5b is attached from the lower part to make the piston 5.
(42) The suction valve body 4 is attached to the housing 2 from above, and the annular packing 10 is fitted to the ring-shaped portion 2a of the housing 2 from below,
(43) Next, the piston 5 of (41) is inserted into the housing 2 of (42) from above,
(44) Next, the screw cap 3 is attached to the ring-shaped part 2a of the housing 2 from above,
(45) Next, the spout 9 is attached to the upper end of the piston 5,
(46) The suction pipe 11 is attached to the small diameter cylindrical portion 2c of the housing 2 at an arbitrary stage.

図1は蓄圧式ポンプ機構の静止モード、すなわちスパウト9がまだ押下げられていない状態を示している。   FIG. 1 shows a stationary mode of the pressure accumulating pump mechanism, that is, a state where the spout 9 is not yet pushed down.

静止モードでは、概略、アウタースプリング8の弾性作用により、ピストン5およびこれと一体のスパウト9、ならびに当該ピストンにいわば持上げられた形の吐出弁体6がそれぞれ最上動位置に設定され、かつ、スライドリング7がその最下動位置に設定されている。   In the stationary mode, the piston 5 and the spout 9 integral with the piston 5 and the discharge valve body 6 lifted up to the piston are set to the uppermost moving position by the elastic action of the outer spring 8 and slide. Ring 7 is set to its lowest position.

この静止モードのとき、
(51)前回の内容物放出操作の終了にともなって、容器本体1の内容物が吸上げパイプ11および開状態の吸込弁(吸込弁座2d,弁体作用部4a)を介してハウジング内部空間域Aに流入済みであり、
(52)吸込弁体4の弁体作用部4aは、容器本体内容物がハウジング内部空間域Aに流入した後、その上の螺旋形状弾性部4bの作用により下動して、ハウジング2の吸込弁座2dに密接した閉状態に設定され、
(53)吐出弁体6も、その弁体作用部6dがピストン下部5bの環凹状の吐出弁座5g,環壁状の吐出弁座5hにそれぞれ当接した閉状態に設定されている。
In this still mode,
(51) With the end of the previous content discharge operation, the contents of the container body 1 are moved into the housing internal space via the suction pipe 11 and the opened suction valve (suction valve seat 2d, valve body action portion 4a). Has already flowed into Zone A,
(52) The valve body action part 4a of the suction valve body 4 is moved downward by the action of the spiral elastic part 4b on the inside of the housing internal space A after the contents of the container body flow into the housing space A, and the suction of the housing 2 Set in a closed state close to the valve seat 2d,
(53) The discharge valve body 6 is also set in a closed state in which the valve body action portion 6d is in contact with the annular concave discharge valve seat 5g and the annular wall discharge valve seat 5h of the piston lower part 5b.

また、
(61)ピストン5は、アウタースプリング8の弾性作用により上方に付勢されてその環凸状部5cがネジキャップ3の環状上逆段部3eに係止され、
(62)スライドリング7は、アウタースプリング8の弾性作用により下方に付勢されてその環状逆段部7aがハウジング2の環鍔状部2aの上面部分に係止され、かつ、その環テーパ状底面7cが吐出弁体6の上外側逆スカート部6aの内面部分に当接している。
Also,
(61) The piston 5 is urged upward by the elastic action of the outer spring 8, and the annular convex portion 5 c is locked to the annular upper reverse step portion 3 e of the screw cap 3.
(62) The slide ring 7 is urged downward by the elastic action of the outer spring 8 so that the annular reverse step portion 7a is locked to the upper surface portion of the ring collar portion 2a of the housing 2, and the ring taper shape thereof. The bottom surface 7 c is in contact with the inner surface portion of the upper and outer reverse skirt portion 6 a of the discharge valve body 6.

このように静止モードのハウジング内部空間域Aは、その上流側の吸上げパイプ11およびその下流側の横孔部5e,内容物通路部9aなどのいずれとも連通していない。   As described above, the housing internal space A in the stationary mode does not communicate with any of the suction pipe 11 on the upstream side, the lateral hole portion 5e on the downstream side, the content passage portion 9a, and the like.

図2は、図1のポンプ機構のスパウト9の押下げ操作面9dを利用者が下方に押したときの初期段階を示している。   FIG. 2 shows an initial stage when the user presses down the pressing operation surface 9d of the spout 9 of the pump mechanism of FIG.

押下げ操作にともなうハウジング内部空間域Aの容積減少によりその中の内容物圧力が初期増加し、この圧力増加にともない吐出弁体6の全体およびスライドリング7が固定状態のハウジング2(および下動状態のピストン5)に対し少しだけ押し上げられる。   As the volume of the internal space A of the housing decreases as a result of the pressing operation, the content pressure in the housing initially increases. As the pressure increases, the entire discharge valve body 6 and the slide ring 7 are fixed. The piston 5) is pushed up slightly.

図2は、この押上げにともない、吐出弁体6の弁体作用部6dのいわば当接相手が環壁状の吐出弁座5hからその直上のリブ状部5jにシフトする直前段階を示している。すなわち吐出弁は閉状態にとどまったままである。   FIG. 2 shows a stage immediately before the so-called contact partner of the valve body action portion 6d of the discharge valve body 6 shifts from the annular wall-shaped discharge valve seat 5h to the rib-like portion 5j immediately above the push-up. Yes. That is, the discharge valve remains closed.

この直前段階のとき、ピストン下部5bの環状垂下部5dの下端面部分はまだ吐出弁体6に当接していない。   At the immediately preceding stage, the lower end surface portion of the annular hanging portion 5d of the piston lower portion 5b has not yet contacted the discharge valve body 6.

図1の静止モード位置から図2の吐出弁開状態へのシフト直前段階までの間、吐出弁体6は環壁状の吐出弁座5hと密接したままである。   The discharge valve body 6 remains in close contact with the ring-walled discharge valve seat 5h from the stationary mode position of FIG. 1 to the stage immediately before the shift to the discharge valve open state of FIG.

この間、ハウジング内部空間域Aに収容された内容物はその圧力が増加したままのいわゆる蓄圧状態に設定されている。   During this time, the contents stored in the housing internal space A are set in a so-called pressure accumulation state in which the pressure remains increased.

図3は、スパウト9およびピストン5が図2の位置よりも下動し、吐出弁がそれまでの閉状態から開状態にシフトした作動モードを示している。   FIG. 3 shows an operation mode in which the spout 9 and the piston 5 are moved downward from the position of FIG. 2 and the discharge valve is shifted from the closed state to the open state.

この作動モードのとき、
(71)吐出弁体6は、ハウジング内部空間域Aの内容物圧力によりピストン下部5bに対してさらに上動し、下内側逆スカート状の弁体作用部6dの密接相手がそれまでの環壁状の吐出弁座5hからその直上のリブ状部5jに変わり、
(72)ピストン上部5aは、その環状垂下部5dの下端面部分が吐出弁体6に当接した状態で下方に駆動され、
(73)スライドリング7は、ピストン上部5aおよびこれに当接した状態の吐出弁体6が下方へ移動するのにともなって当該吐出弁体から離間した後、アウタースプリング8の弾性作用で図1の静止モード位置に復帰する、すなわちスライドリング7の環状逆段部7aがハウジング2の環鍔状部2aに保持された状態に復帰する。
In this mode of operation,
(71) The discharge valve body 6 is further moved upward with respect to the piston lower part 5b by the pressure of the contents in the housing internal space A, and the close inner side of the lower inner reverse skirt-like valve body action part 6d is the ring wall until then. From the discharge valve seat 5h to the rib-like portion 5j immediately above it,
(72) The piston upper portion 5a is driven downward with the lower end surface portion of the annular hanging portion 5d in contact with the discharge valve body 6,
(73) The slide ring 7 is separated from the discharge valve body 6 by the downward movement of the piston upper portion 5a and the discharge valve body 6 in contact with the piston upper portion 5a. Return to the stationary mode position, that is, return to the state where the annular reverse step portion 7 a of the slide ring 7 is held by the ring-shaped portion 2 a of the housing 2.

図3の作動モードでは、上記(31)で記したように弁体作用部6dが当接する隣同士のリブ状部5jの間に形成された溝状部を介して、ハウジング内部空間域Aと内容物通路部9a,放出口9bなどとが連通する。吐出弁が開状態に移行する。   In the operation mode of FIG. 3, as described in the above (31), the housing inner space A and the housing inner space A are interposed via the groove-shaped portion formed between the adjacent rib-shaped portions 5 j with which the valve element acting portion 6 d abuts. The content passage portion 9a and the discharge port 9b communicate with each other. The discharge valve shifts to the open state.

この吐出弁開状態でスパウト9およびピストン5がさらに押し下げられると、ハウジング内部空間域Aの容積が減少し、この容積減少分に対応した収容済み内容物が放出口9bから外部空間域に放出される。   When the spout 9 and the piston 5 are further pushed down in the discharge valve open state, the volume of the housing internal space area A decreases, and the stored contents corresponding to the volume decrease are discharged from the discharge port 9b to the external space area. The

外部空間域への内容物放出径路は図示矢印で示すように、「ハウジング内部空間域A−リブ状部5jの間の溝状部−横孔部5e−ピストン5の内容物通路部−スパウト9の内容物通路部9a−放出口9b」となる。   As shown by the arrows in the figure, the content discharge path to the external space area is defined as “the groove between the housing internal space area A and the rib-shaped portion 5j—the side hole portion 5e—the content passage portion of the piston 5—the spout 9 Content passage portion 9a-discharge port 9b ".

利用者が押下げ操作面9dの下動操作を解除する(押下げ操作面9dから手を離す)と、ピストン5およびこれと一体のスパウト9がアウタースプリング8の弾性作用により上方向に移動して図1の静止モード位置に復帰する。   When the user releases the downward operation of the push-down operation surface 9d (releases the hand from the push-down operation surface 9d), the piston 5 and the spout 9 integrated therewith move upward by the elastic action of the outer spring 8. To return to the stationary mode position of FIG.

このピストン5の上方向への復帰動作にともない、
(81)吐出弁体6もピストン下部5bの吐出弁座5gに持上げられる形で図1の静止モード位置に復帰して、吐出弁がそれまでの開状態から閉状態にシフトし、
(82)ハウジング内部空間域Aがその容積増加により容器本体1の内部に対し負圧になるので、吸込弁体4(弁体作用部4a)が螺旋形状弾性部4bの弾性力に抗しながら上昇してハウジング2の吸込弁座2dから離間し、
(83)この弁体作用部4aの離間部分から容器本体1の収容内容物がハウジング内部空間域Aに流入し、そこでの負圧状態が解消した段階で、吸込弁体4は螺旋形状弾性部4bの弾性作用により吸込弁座2dとの密接状態に復帰し、
(84)この容器本体1からハウジング内部空間域Aへの内容物流入に基づく容器本体内部の負圧化を防止すべく、外気が、ハウジング2の孔部2bから容器本体内部に流入する。
As the piston 5 returns upward,
(81) The discharge valve body 6 is also lifted by the discharge valve seat 5g of the piston lower part 5b and returned to the stationary mode position in FIG. 1, and the discharge valve is shifted from the open state to the closed state.
(82) Since the housing internal space A becomes negative with respect to the inside of the container main body 1 due to the increase in volume, the suction valve body 4 (valve action part 4a) resists the elastic force of the helical elastic part 4b Ascend and away from the suction valve seat 2d of the housing 2,
(83) The stored contents of the container body 1 flows into the housing internal space A from the separated portion of the valve body action portion 4a, and the suction valve body 4 is formed into a helical elastic portion when the negative pressure state is eliminated. The elastic action of 4b returns to the close state with the suction valve seat 2d,
(84) In order to prevent negative pressure inside the container body due to the inflow of contents from the container body 1 into the housing internal space A, outside air flows into the container body from the hole 2b of the housing 2.

図1の静止モードでは、これらのハウジング内部空間域Aへの内容物流入動作および容器本体1の内部への外気流入動作がそれぞれ終了している。   In the stationary mode of FIG. 1, the contents inflow operation into the housing internal space A and the outside air inflow operation into the container body 1 are finished.

上記(83)において容器本体1からハウジング内部空間域Aに流入した内容物が次回の放出対象となる。   In (83) above, the contents that have flowed from the container body 1 into the housing internal space A are the next discharge target.

図4(b)は、直圧式ポンプ機構における吐出弁座形状などを示している。
なお、図4(a)は図1〜図3の蓄圧式ポンプ機構の吐出弁座などを示す説明図である。
FIG. 4B shows a discharge valve seat shape and the like in the direct pressure pump mechanism.
FIG. 4A is an explanatory view showing a discharge valve seat and the like of the pressure accumulating pump mechanism shown in FIGS.

図示の直圧式ポンプ機構の場合、蓄圧式における環壁状の吐出弁座5hおよびその直上のリブ状部5jの代わりに、環テーパ状部5kを形成した態様になっている。   In the case of the illustrated direct pressure pump mechanism, an annular taper portion 5k is formed in place of the ring wall-shaped discharge valve seat 5h and the rib-like portion 5j immediately above the pressure accumulation type.

すなわち、静止モード位置の吐出弁体6の弁体作用部6dと密接するのはもっぱら環凹状の吐出弁座5gの底面部分である。   That is, it is the bottom portion of the ring-recessed discharge valve seat 5g that is in close contact with the valve body action portion 6d of the discharge valve body 6 in the stationary mode position.

図4(a)の蓄圧式ポンプ機構の場合、静止モード位置の弁体作用部6dは当該底面部分に加えて環壁状の吐出弁座5hにも密接する。   In the case of the pressure accumulating pump mechanism shown in FIG. 4A, the valve element action portion 6d in the stationary mode position is in close contact with the annular wall discharge valve seat 5h in addition to the bottom surface portion.

そのため、図4(b)の直圧式ポンプ機構の吐出弁体6(弁体作用部6d)は、内容物放出操作開始直後の段階におけるハウジング内部空間域Aの内容物圧力増加により上動して吐出弁座5gから離間して、作動モードへとシフトする。   For this reason, the discharge valve body 6 (valve action portion 6d) of the direct pressure pump mechanism in FIG. 4B is lifted by the increase in the content pressure in the housing internal space A immediately after the start of the content discharge operation. It shifts away from the discharge valve seat 5g and shifts to the operation mode.
