Description

本発明は、容器本体に収容された内容液を吐出する際に、吐出形態を選択可能とした吐出容器に関する。   The present invention relates to a discharge container capable of selecting a discharge form when discharging a content liquid contained in a container body.

従来、各種の食品調味料をはじめ、化粧料や薬剤等の内容液を収容する容器として、容器本体の胴部を押圧して圧縮（スクイズ）することで、該内容液を霧状に噴射する吐出容器が知られている（例えば、特許文献１）。   Conventionally, as a container for storing various liquid food seasonings and other liquids such as cosmetics and medicines, the container body is pressed and compressed (squeezed) to spray the liquid contents in a mist form. A discharge container is known (for example, Patent Document 1).

このような容器としては、例えば、弾性変形可能な容器本体と、当該容器本体に装着されたキャップと、容器本体内部に挿入された液体排出用の導管とからなり、キャップの頂壁には、内部を気液混合室とされ且つ一部に噴霧口を有する噴霧用突起が突設されている。この噴霧用突起の気液混合室には、導管が接続され且つ容器本体の上部空間に通じる主連通孔および副連通孔が導管と並列に設けられており、倒立姿勢で、導管から容器本体内の空気を排出し且つ副連通孔から液体を排出することにより、気液混合室でミストを形成し、噴霧口から液体を噴霧する様になされている。   Examples of such a container include an elastically deformable container body, a cap attached to the container body, and a liquid discharge conduit inserted into the container body. A projection for spraying having a gas-liquid mixing chamber inside and having a spraying opening in part is provided. The gas-liquid mixing chamber of the spray projection has a main communication hole and a sub-communication hole that are connected in parallel to the upper space of the container body and are connected in parallel with the conduit. By discharging the air and discharging the liquid from the sub-communication hole, mist is formed in the gas-liquid mixing chamber, and the liquid is sprayed from the spray port.

下蓋３２は、基部３１にヒンジ４３を介して連結され、基部３１に対して係合した閉位置と、該基部３１に対する係合を解除された開位置との間で開閉可能とされている。図１に示すように、下蓋３２は、ヒンジ４３が連結する略円筒状の外側壁４４と、外側壁４４の上端から内側に延びる環状壁４５と、環状壁４５の内縁から垂下し、上記基部吐出筒３８の内周面に液密に当接する筒状の封止壁４６と、封止壁４６の下端から内側に延びる環状底壁４７と、環状底壁４７の内縁から上方に延びる上部吐出筒４８と、上部吐出筒４８の上端を覆う頂壁４９とを有する。略円板状の頂壁４９の中心には、下蓋３２の閉位置において内容液開口３６及び空気開口３７に連通する噴霧口５０が形成されている。   The lower lid 32 is connected to the base portion 31 via a hinge 43 and can be opened and closed between a closed position engaged with the base portion 31 and an open position released from the engagement with the base portion 31. . As shown in FIG. 1, the lower lid 32 is suspended from the substantially cylindrical outer wall 44 to which the hinge 43 is connected, the annular wall 45 extending inward from the upper end of the outer wall 44, and the inner edge of the annular wall 45. A cylindrical sealing wall 46 in liquid-tight contact with the inner peripheral surface of the base discharge cylinder 38, an annular bottom wall 47 extending inward from the lower end of the sealing wall 46, and an upper part extending upward from the inner edge of the annular bottom wall 47 A discharge cylinder 48 and a top wall 49 covering the upper end of the upper discharge cylinder 48 are provided. A spray port 50 communicating with the content liquid opening 36 and the air opening 37 is formed at the center of the substantially disc-shaped top wall 49 at the closed position of the lower lid 32.

なお、下蓋３２の閉位置において、環状底壁４７は、内容液開口３６を上方から覆うように配置されており、内容液開口３６から流入した内容液は、環状底壁４７と隔壁３５との間に形成された隙間を通過して噴霧口５０へと流れる。また、環状底壁４７と隔壁３５との間に形成された隙間は、内容液開口３６に比べて狭く（断面積が小さく）なっており、内容液の流量が制限されることとなる。   In the closed position of the lower lid 32, the annular bottom wall 47 is disposed so as to cover the content liquid opening 36 from above, and the content liquid flowing in from the content liquid opening 36 flows between the annular bottom wall 47 and the partition wall 35. It passes through the gap formed between the two and flows to the spray port 50. In addition, the gap formed between the annular bottom wall 47 and the partition wall 35 is narrower (the cross-sectional area is smaller) than the content liquid opening 36, and the flow rate of the content liquid is limited.

本実施形態において、上部吐出筒４８及び頂壁４９は、下蓋３２の閉位置で上記突出部４２の外周面及び上面に沿って配置される。言い換えれば、下蓋３２の閉位置において、上部吐出筒４８及び頂壁４９に囲まれる凹部に、突出部４２が収納される。詳しくは後述するが、下蓋３２を閉位置として内容液を吐出する場合には、収容空間Ｓからの内容液及び空気は、上部吐出筒４８及び頂壁４９と、突出部４２との間に形成された隙間を通って噴霧口５０から吐出される。   In the present embodiment, the upper discharge cylinder 48 and the top wall 49 are disposed along the outer peripheral surface and the upper surface of the protruding portion 42 at the closed position of the lower lid 32. In other words, in the closed position of the lower lid 32, the protruding portion 42 is accommodated in the recess surrounded by the upper discharge cylinder 48 and the top wall 49. As will be described in detail later, when the content liquid is discharged with the lower lid 32 in the closed position, the content liquid and air from the storage space S are placed between the upper discharge cylinder 48 and the top wall 49 and the protrusion 42. It is discharged from the spray port 50 through the formed gap.

上蓋３３は、下蓋３２にヒンジ５３を介して連結され、下蓋３２に対して係合した閉位置と、下蓋３２に対する係合を解除された開位置との間で開閉可能とされている。   The upper lid 33 is connected to the lower lid 32 via a hinge 53 and can be opened and closed between a closed position engaged with the lower lid 32 and an opened position released from the engagement with the lower lid 32. Yes.

ここで、本実施形態において、ヒンジ５３は、ヒンジ４３に対して、中心軸線Ｌを挟んで逆側に設けられている。これにより、基部３１に対して下蓋３２が１８０度で開かれ、また、下蓋３２に対して上蓋３３が１８０度で開かれた形状として、基部３１、下蓋３２、及び上蓋３３を、樹脂材料の射出成形等により一体に形成することが容易となる。   Here, in the present embodiment, the hinge 53 is provided on the opposite side of the hinge 43 with the central axis L interposed therebetween. Accordingly, the base 31, the lower lid 32, and the upper lid 33 are formed in a shape in which the lower lid 32 is opened at 180 degrees with respect to the base 31 and the upper lid 33 is opened at 180 degrees with respect to the lower lid 32. It becomes easy to form integrally by injection molding of a resin material.

上蓋３３は、下蓋３２の外側壁４４にヒンジ５３を介して連結された上部外側壁５４と、上部外側壁５４の上端を覆う天壁５５と、天壁５５から垂下する円筒状の上部内側壁５６とを有する。上蓋３３の閉位置において、上部内側壁５６の下端部内面は、上部吐出筒４８の外周面に対して液密に当接する。すなわち、図１に示すように、下蓋３２及び上蓋３３をともに閉位置としたとき、容器本体２はキャップ部材３によって密封された状態となる。   The upper lid 33 includes an upper outer wall 54 connected to the outer wall 44 of the lower lid 32 via a hinge 53, a ceiling wall 55 covering the upper end of the upper outer wall 54, and a cylindrical upper inner wall hanging from the ceiling wall 55. And a wall 56. In the closed position of the upper lid 33, the inner surface of the lower end portion of the upper inner wall 56 comes into liquid-tight contact with the outer peripheral surface of the upper discharge cylinder 48. That is, as shown in FIG. 1, when both the lower lid 32 and the upper lid 33 are in the closed position, the container body 2 is sealed by the cap member 3.

なお、本実施形態においては、基部吐出筒３８の内周面に封止壁４６が圧入されることにより、下蓋３２が基部３１に係合される構成としているが、基部３１に対して下蓋３２を閉位置で係合する構成は、これに限定されず、下蓋３２と基部３１との間に、相互に嵌合する凹凸形状等を設けても良い。また、同様に、本実施形態においては、上部内側壁５６に上部吐出筒４８が圧入されることで、上蓋３３が下蓋３２に係合される構成としているが、これに限定されず、上蓋３３と下蓋３２との間に、相互に嵌合する凹凸形状等を設けても良い。   In the present embodiment, the sealing wall 46 is press-fitted into the inner peripheral surface of the base discharge cylinder 38 so that the lower lid 32 is engaged with the base 31. The configuration in which the lid 32 is engaged in the closed position is not limited to this, and an uneven shape or the like that fits between the lower lid 32 and the base portion 31 may be provided. Similarly, in the present embodiment, the upper discharge cylinder 48 is press-fitted into the upper inner wall 56 so that the upper lid 33 is engaged with the lower lid 32. However, the present invention is not limited to this. An uneven shape or the like that fits between each other may be provided between 33 and the lower lid 32.

以下に、上記の構成を有する吐出容器１の使用方法について説明する。容器１は、霧状又は液状の吐出形態を選択することができるものであり、図２は内容液を霧状に吐出させる場合を示し、図３は液状に吐出させる場合を示す。   Below, the usage method of the discharge container 1 which has said structure is demonstrated. The container 1 can select a mist-like or liquid discharge form, FIG. 2 shows the case where the content liquid is discharged in the form of a mist, and FIG. 3 shows the case where it is discharged in the liquid state.

内容液を霧状に吐出する場合には、図２に示すように、下蓋３２を閉位置、且つ、上蓋３３を開位置として、容器１を倒立姿勢にする。容器１を倒立姿勢とすることにより、収容空間Ｓ内の空気は底部側に移動し、内容液は口部２１側に移動する。この状態で胴部２３を押圧すると、胴部２３が弾性変形して収容空間Ｓが圧縮され、容器１の底部付近の空気が、チューブ部材４０の先端開口からチューブ部材４０の内部を移動し、図２に破線の矢印で示すように、空気開口３７を通過して、上部吐出筒４８内面と突出部４２外面の間を通り、頂壁４９下面と突出部４２上面の間を通って、噴霧口５０に向かって流れる。この時、内容液は、図２に二点鎖線の矢印で示すように、空気開口３７から噴霧口５０に向かって空気を送りだすことで生じる負圧によって、内容液開口３６から環状底壁４７と隔壁３５との隙間を通して吸出され、空気と混ざり合いながら上部吐出筒４８内面と突出部４２外面の間を通り、頂壁４９下面と突出部４２上面の間を通って、噴霧口５０から霧状に噴射される。   When the content liquid is discharged in the form of a mist, as shown in FIG. 2, the container 1 is placed in an inverted posture with the lower lid 32 closed and the upper lid 33 opened. By setting the container 1 to the inverted posture, the air in the accommodation space S moves to the bottom side, and the content liquid moves to the mouth portion 21 side. When the body part 23 is pressed in this state, the body part 23 is elastically deformed and the accommodation space S is compressed, and the air near the bottom of the container 1 moves from the opening of the tube member 40 to the inside of the tube member 40, As shown by a broken line arrow in FIG. 2, the air passes through the air opening 37, passes between the inner surface of the upper discharge cylinder 48 and the outer surface of the protrusion 42, passes between the lower surface of the top wall 49 and the upper surface of the protrusion 42, and sprays It flows toward the mouth 50. At this time, as shown by a two-dot chain line arrow in FIG. 2, the content liquid is formed from the content liquid opening 36 to the annular bottom wall 47 by the negative pressure generated by sending air from the air opening 37 toward the spray port 50. It is sucked out through the gap with the partition wall 35 and passes through between the inner surface of the upper discharge cylinder 48 and the outer surface of the protruding portion 42 while mixing with air, passes between the lower surface of the top wall 49 and the upper surface of the protruding portion 42, and is sprayed from the spray port 50. Is injected into.

内容液の吐出が終了して胴部２３への押圧を解除すると、噴霧口５０から外気を取り込みながら、胴部２３の形状が復元する。   When the discharge of the content liquid is finished and the pressure on the body part 23 is released, the shape of the body part 23 is restored while taking in the outside air from the spray port 50.

ここで、突出部４２の上面と、頂壁４９の下面とを当接させるとともに、当接面にスピン通路を形成して、内容液開口３６から流入して噴霧口５０に向かう内容液に旋回を与えることで、内容液をさらに細かく均一な霧質で吐出することができる。スピン通路は、例えば、突出部４２の上面及び頂壁４９の下面の何れか一方、又は両方に、中心に向かう複数の螺旋状のスピン溝を形成した構成とすることができる。なお、スピン通路の形状や本数は特に限定されず、所望の霧質に応じて適宜設定することができる。   Here, the upper surface of the projecting portion 42 and the lower surface of the top wall 49 are brought into contact with each other, and a spin passage is formed in the contact surface so as to swirl into the content liquid flowing from the content liquid opening 36 toward the spray port 50. The content liquid can be discharged with a finer and uniform mist quality. For example, the spin path may have a configuration in which a plurality of spiral spin grooves toward the center are formed on one or both of the upper surface of the protrusion 42 and the lower surface of the top wall 49. In addition, the shape and number of spin paths are not particularly limited, and can be set as appropriate according to the desired mist quality.

内容液を液状に吐出する場合には、図３に示すように、下蓋３２を開位置とし、容器１を倒立姿勢とする。これにより、内容液開口３６を通過した内容液が基部吐出筒３８上を流れて液状に吐出（滴下）される。さらに、胴部２３を押圧することにより、内容液の吐出速度及び吐出量を増大させることができる。下蓋３２を閉位置とした場合には、内容液開口３６を通過して噴霧口５０に向かう内容液の流量が制限されることにより、胴部２３を押圧すると収容空間Ｓ内の空気が優先的に押し出され、内容液は少量ずつ霧状に吐出されるが、下蓋３２を開位置とすることにより、内容液開口３６が解放されるため、下蓋３２を閉位置とした場合に比べて多量の内容液を液状に吐出することが可能となる。   When the content liquid is discharged in a liquid state, as shown in FIG. 3, the lower lid 32 is in the open position and the container 1 is in the inverted posture. As a result, the content liquid that has passed through the content liquid opening 36 flows on the base discharge cylinder 38 and is discharged (dropped) into a liquid state. Furthermore, by pressing the body part 23, the discharge speed and discharge amount of the content liquid can be increased. When the lower lid 32 is in the closed position, the flow rate of the content liquid that passes through the content liquid opening 36 toward the spray port 50 is restricted, so that when the body portion 23 is pressed, the air in the accommodation space S has priority. The content liquid is ejected in a mist form little by little, but by opening the lower lid 32, the content liquid opening 36 is released, so compared with the case where the lower lid 32 is in the closed position. Thus, a large amount of content liquid can be discharged in liquid form.

なお、下蓋３２を開位置として吐出する場合には、内容液開口３６の開口面積を適宜設定することによって、胴部２３を押圧することなく、容器１を倒立姿勢とするだけで内容液を液状に吐出することも可能である。   In the case of discharging with the lower lid 32 in the open position, the content liquid can be discharged simply by turning the container 1 upside down without pressing the barrel 23 by appropriately setting the opening area of the content liquid opening 36. It is also possible to discharge in liquid form.

以上のように、本実施形態の吐出容器１にあっては、下蓋３２を閉位置として上蓋３３のみを開く（開位置とする）ことにより、少量の内容液を広範囲にわたって霧状に噴射することができる。また、下蓋３２を開くことにより、内容液を比較的多量に、液状に吐出することができる。すなわち、本実施形態の吐出容器１によれば、内容液の霧状の吐出と液状の吐出とを、簡単な操作で切り替えることが可能となる。   As described above, in the discharge container 1 of the present embodiment, a small amount of content liquid is ejected in a mist form over a wide range by opening only the upper lid 33 with the lower lid 32 in the closed position (open position). be able to. Further, by opening the lower lid 32, a relatively large amount of the content liquid can be discharged into the liquid state. That is, according to the discharge container 1 of the present embodiment, the mist-like discharge of the content liquid and the liquid discharge can be switched by a simple operation.

また、本実施形態の吐出容器１にあっては、内容液の霧状の吐出を、収容空間Ｓ内の空気を送り出すことによって生じる負圧を利用して行っているため、胴部２３を押圧する際の抵抗が小さくなり、軽く押圧するだけで内容液を霧状に吐出することができる。   Moreover, in the discharge container 1 of this embodiment, since the mist-like discharge of the content liquid is performed using the negative pressure which arises by sending out the air in the storage space S, the trunk | drum 23 is pressed. The resistance at the time of carrying out becomes small, and a content liquid can be discharged in a mist form only by lightly pressing.

本発明に従う吐出容器は、上述した実施形態に限定されるものではなく、特許請求の範囲に従う範囲で種々の変更が可能である。例えば、ヒンジ５３とヒンジ４３は、中心軸線Ｌの周りでどの方向に設けても良く、中心軸線Ｌに対して同一方向としても良いし、僅かにずれた位置に設けることも可能である。また、下蓋３２及び上蓋３３の外周面に、開閉時に指を掛けて開閉を容易にするための突起を設けることも可能である。   The discharge container according to the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications are possible within the scope according to the claims. For example, the hinge 53 and the hinge 43 may be provided in any direction around the central axis L, may be in the same direction with respect to the central axis L, or may be provided at positions slightly shifted. In addition, it is possible to provide protrusions on the outer peripheral surfaces of the lower lid 32 and the upper lid 33 so that the fingers can be easily opened and closed by opening and closing.
