以下、図面を参照しつつ本発明の実施形態を例示説明する。 The following describes an embodiment of the present invention with reference to the drawings.

図1に示す本発明の一実施形態である塗布容器1は、図1~図2に示すように、容器本体2、中栓3、含浸体4及び塗布具5を有している。図3A~図3Cに示すように、塗布具5は、キャップ6と二股状の塗布部7とを有しており、塗布部7は、ベース部材8、2つの保持部材9及び2つの塗布体10で構成されている。容器本体2、中栓3、キャップ6、ベース部材8及び2つの保持部材9はそれぞれ合成樹脂で形成され、含浸体4及び塗布体10はそれぞれスポンジ等の液体を含浸可能な材質で形成されている。なお、上記部材を形成する材料は適宜変更が可能である。 The applicator container 1 shown in Figure 1, which is one embodiment of the present invention, has a container body 2, an inner stopper 3, an impregnated body 4, and an applicator 5, as shown in Figures 1 and 2. As shown in Figures 3A to 3C, the applicator 5 has a cap 6 and a bifurcated applicator section 7, and the applicator section 7 is composed of a base member 8, two holding members 9, and two applicators 10. The container body 2, the inner stopper 3, the cap 6, the base member 8, and the two holding members 9 are each made of a synthetic resin, and the impregnated body 4 and the applicator 10 are each made of a material that can be impregnated with liquid, such as a sponge. The materials from which the above members are made can be changed as appropriate.

図1に示すように、キャップ6の中心軸線Oは、塗布部7、容器本体2、中栓3、含浸体4のそれぞれの中心軸線Oに一致している。なお、これらの中心軸線Oを一致させない構成としても構わない。 As shown in FIG. 1, the central axis O of the cap 6 coincides with the central axis O of each of the application part 7, the container body 2, the inner plug 3, and the impregnated body 4. However, these central axes O may be configured not to coincide.

なお、本明細書において、上下方向とはキャップ6の中心軸線Oに沿う方向である軸方向を意味し、上方とは容器本体2の胴部2bから口部2aに向かう方向を意味し、下方とはその反対方向を意味し、径方向とは中心軸線Oに直交する直線に沿う方向を意味し、周方向とは中心軸線Oを周回する方向を意味し、縦断面とは中心軸線Oを含む断面を意味している。 In this specification, the vertical direction means the axial direction along the central axis O of the cap 6, the upward direction means the direction from the body 2b of the container body 2 toward the mouth 2a, the downward direction means the opposite direction, the radial direction means the direction along a straight line perpendicular to the central axis O, the circumferential direction means the direction going around the central axis O, and the longitudinal section means a section including the central axis O.

図1~図2に示すように、二股状の塗布部7は支持部7aと2つの脚部7bとを有している。支持部7aはベース部材8のベース本体8aで構成され、各々の脚部7bはベース部材8の突片8bと保持部材9と塗布体10とで構成されている。また、中栓3は、塗布部7を収納する二股状をなしており、より具体的に、股上部3aと2つの股下部3bとを有している。一方の脚部7bは一方の股下部3bに収納され、他方の脚部7bは他方の股下部3bに収納されている。 As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the bifurcated applicator 7 has a support 7a and two legs 7b. The support 7a is made up of the base body 8a of the base member 8, and each leg 7b is made up of a protruding piece 8b of the base member 8, a holding member 9, and an applicator 10. The inner plug 3 is bifurcated to house the applicator 7, and more specifically, has a crotch portion 3a and two crotch portions 3b. One leg 7b is housed in one crotch portion 3b, and the other leg 7b is housed in the other crotch portion 3b.

2つの脚部7bは中心軸線Oに関して互いに対称な構造を有しており、2つの股下部3bは中心軸線Oに関して互いに対称な構造を有している。なお、2つの脚部7b及び2つの股下部3bは、上記のような対称な構造を有さない構成としても構わない。 The two legs 7b have a structure symmetrical to each other with respect to the central axis O, and the two crotch parts 3b have a structure symmetrical to each other with respect to the central axis O. Note that the two legs 7b and the two crotch parts 3b may not have a symmetrical structure as described above.

図1に示すように、容器本体2は、中心軸線Oを中心とする円筒状の口部2aと、口部2aの下端に連なる胴部2bと、胴部2bの下端に連なる底部2cと、を有するボトル状をなしている。口部2aは、容器本体2の内部空間11に連通する開口を形成している。口部2aの外周面には、キャップ6を取り付けるための雄ねじ部2dが設けられている。なお、胴部2bは口部2aよりも拡径した円筒状をなしているが、胴部2bの形状は塗布容器1の用途等に応じて適宜設定できる。 As shown in FIG. 1, the container body 2 is bottle-shaped and has a cylindrical mouth 2a centered on the central axis O, a body 2b connected to the lower end of the mouth 2a, and a bottom 2c connected to the lower end of the body 2b. The mouth 2a forms an opening that communicates with the internal space 11 of the container body 2. The outer peripheral surface of the mouth 2a is provided with a male thread 2d for attaching a cap 6. The body 2b is cylindrical with a larger diameter than the mouth 2a, but the shape of the body 2b can be set appropriately depending on the application of the application container 1, etc.

図1に示すように、中栓3は、2つの股下部3bが容器本体2内に配置された状態で股上部3aを介して容器本体2に取り付けられている。図6A~図6Dに示すように、股上部3aは、中心軸線Oを中心とする筒状の外周壁3cと、外周壁3cの下端に連なる底壁3dと、外周壁3cの上端から径方向外側に延びるフランジ3eと、を有している。図1に示すように、フランジ3eの下面は口部2aの上面に接し、フランジ3eの外周縁から垂下する係止部3fが、上方への抜け止めのために口部2aの上端に係止されている。 As shown in FIG. 1, the inner plug 3 is attached to the container body 2 via the crotch portion 3a with the two crotch portions 3b disposed within the container body 2. As shown in FIGS. 6A to 6D, the crotch portion 3a has a cylindrical outer peripheral wall 3c centered on the central axis O, a bottom wall 3d connected to the lower end of the outer peripheral wall 3c, and a flange 3e extending radially outward from the upper end of the outer peripheral wall 3c. As shown in FIG. 1, the lower surface of the flange 3e contacts the upper surface of the mouth portion 2a, and a locking portion 3f hanging down from the outer peripheral edge of the flange 3e is locked to the upper end of the mouth portion 2a to prevent it from coming off upwards.

図1及び図6A~図6Dに示すように、各々の股下部3bは、底壁3dから下方に延びる筒壁3gと、筒壁3gの下端に連なる端面壁3hと、を有している。2つの筒壁3gは、互いに径方向に隙間12を開けて設けられており、この隙間12を挟んで互いに対向する位置にそれぞれ上下方向に延びる切り欠き3iを有している。端面壁3hと容器本体2の底部2cとの間には、上下方向に所定の間隔が空けられている。 As shown in Figures 1 and 6A to 6D, each crotch portion 3b has a cylindrical wall 3g extending downward from the bottom wall 3d, and an end wall 3h connected to the lower end of the cylindrical wall 3g. The two cylindrical walls 3g are provided with a radial gap 12 between them, and each has a notch 3i extending in the vertical direction at a position facing each other across the gap 12. A predetermined vertical gap is provided between the end wall 3h and the bottom 2c of the container body 2.

図1に示すように、含浸体4は、2つの端面壁3hと容器本体2の底部2cとで上下方向に挟まれた含浸体本体4aと、含浸体本体4aから上方に突出する延長部4bと、を有している。延長部4bは2つの股下部3bの間の隙間12内に配置されている。延長部4bは、塗布部7の2つの脚部7bにおける切り欠き3iに挿入された部分である塗布体10の接触部10aに挟まれて接している。 As shown in FIG. 1, the impregnated body 4 has an impregnated body main body 4a sandwiched vertically between the two end walls 3h and the bottom 2c of the container body 2, and an extension 4b protruding upward from the impregnated body main body 4a. The extension 4b is disposed in the gap 12 between the two crotch portions 3b. The extension 4b is sandwiched and in contact with the contact portion 10a of the applicator 10, which is the portion inserted into the notches 3i in the two legs 7b of the applicator 7.

容器本体2の内部空間11には図示しない内容物が収納されており、その一部が含浸体4に含浸されている。内容物は特に限定されないが、例えば、液状の染毛剤である。内容物が液状である場合には、塗布体10に内容物を良く付着させるために含浸体4を設けることが好ましい。なお、内容物が粘性が高い液体や粉状である場合など、含浸体4を設けない方がよい場合も考えられる。 The internal space 11 of the container body 2 contains contents (not shown), some of which are impregnated in the impregnating body 4. The contents are not particularly limited, but may be, for example, a liquid hair dye. When the contents are liquid, it is preferable to provide the impregnating body 4 in order to ensure that the contents adhere well to the applicator 10. However, there may be cases where it is better not to provide the impregnating body 4, such as when the contents are a highly viscous liquid or powder.

被塗布部13(図7参照)は特に限定されないが、例えば、毛髪である。 The application target portion 13 (see FIG. 7) is not particularly limited, but may be, for example, hair.

図4A~図4Bに示すように、キャップ6は、中心軸線Oを中心とする周壁6aと、周壁6aの上端に連なる頂壁6bと、を有している。周壁6aの内周面には、口部2aの雄ねじ部2dに螺合可能な雌ねじ部6cが設けられている。したがって、キャップ6は、周壁6aの外周面を持って周方向にねじる回転操作により、雌ねじ部6cと雄ねじ部2dを介して口部2aに着脱することができる。 As shown in Figures 4A and 4B, the cap 6 has a peripheral wall 6a centered on the central axis O, and a top wall 6b connected to the upper end of the peripheral wall 6a. The inner peripheral surface of the peripheral wall 6a is provided with a female threaded portion 6c that can be screwed into the male threaded portion 2d of the mouth portion 2a. Therefore, the cap 6 can be attached to and detached from the mouth portion 2a via the female threaded portion 6c and the male threaded portion 2d by rotating the peripheral surface of the peripheral wall 6a in the circumferential direction.

図4A~図4Bに示すように、ベース部材8のベース本体8aは、キャップ6の内面の上部に中心軸線Oを中心に相対回転可能に連結している。ベース本体8aは筒状部8cと筒状部8cの下端に連なる底壁部8dとを有しており、筒状部8cの上端面がキャップ6の頂壁6bの下面に対向し、筒状部8cの外周面がキャップ6の周壁6aの内周面に対向している。筒状部8cは、周方向への相対回転は許容し且つ下方には抜け止めされるように、周壁6aの内周面に嵌合している。 As shown in Figures 4A and 4B, the base body 8a of the base member 8 is connected to the upper part of the inner surface of the cap 6 so as to be relatively rotatable about the central axis O. The base body 8a has a cylindrical portion 8c and a bottom wall portion 8d connected to the lower end of the cylindrical portion 8c, with the upper end surface of the cylindrical portion 8c facing the lower surface of the top wall 6b of the cap 6 and the outer circumferential surface of the cylindrical portion 8c facing the inner circumferential surface of the peripheral wall 6a of the cap 6. The cylindrical portion 8c is fitted into the inner circumferential surface of the peripheral wall 6a so as to allow relative rotation in the circumferential direction but to be prevented from coming off downwards.

また、ベース部材8の各々の突片8bは、底壁部8dから上下方向に沿って下方に延びるとともに径方向に垂直な平板状をなしている。各々の突片8bの両面には、保持部材9を下方への抜け止めのために係止する係止突起8eが設けられている。なお、係止突起8eの数、形状及び配置等は適宜設定できる。また、係止突起8eを設けずに接着等によって保持部材9を係止する構成としてもよい。 Each protrusion 8b of the base member 8 extends downward from the bottom wall 8d in the up-down direction and has a flat plate shape perpendicular to the radial direction. Both sides of each protrusion 8b are provided with locking projections 8e that lock the holding member 9 to prevent it from falling out downward. The number, shape, and arrangement of the locking projections 8e can be set as appropriate. Also, the holding member 9 may be locked by adhesion or the like without providing the locking projections 8e.

図3A~図3C及び図5A~図5Bに示すように、各々の保持部材9は、対応する突片8bが挿入される被挿入部9aと、被挿入部9aの下端から下方に延びる枠体9bと、枠体9bの下端にヒンジ部9cを介して回動可能に連なる蓋部9dと、を有している。 As shown in Figures 3A to 3C and Figures 5A to 5B, each holding member 9 has an insertion portion 9a into which a corresponding protrusion 8b is inserted, a frame body 9b extending downward from the lower end of the insertion portion 9a, and a lid portion 9d rotatably connected to the lower end of the frame body 9b via a hinge portion 9c.

各々の被挿入部9aは、突片8bに相補的な形状の嵌合孔9eを有している。嵌合孔9eに突片8bが挿入されることにより、保持部材9は、突片8bに抜け止めのために係止されるとともに、保持部材9自体の上下方向に平行な中心軸線(不図示)を中心とする回転が規制されている。 Each inserted portion 9a has a fitting hole 9e of a shape complementary to the protrusion 8b. By inserting the protrusion 8b into the fitting hole 9e, the retaining member 9 is locked to the protrusion 8b to prevent it from coming loose, and rotation of the retaining member 9 itself about a central axis (not shown) parallel to the vertical direction is restricted.

各々の枠体9bは、対応する塗布体10の接触部10aを挿入される上下方向に沿って延びる開口部9fと、開口部9fよりも径方向外側に設けられ、蓋部9dによって閉じられた上下方向に沿って延びる外側開口9gと、を有している。2つの開口部9fは互いに対向するように設けられており、開口部9fを通された2つの接触部10aは互いに間隔を開けて対向している。 Each frame body 9b has an opening 9f extending in the vertical direction into which the contact portion 10a of the corresponding applicator body 10 is inserted, and an outer opening 9g extending in the vertical direction that is provided radially outward of the opening 9f and closed by a lid portion 9d. The two openings 9f are provided opposite each other, and the two contact portions 10a that pass through the openings 9f face each other with a gap between them.

各々の塗布体10は、上下方向に細長く径方向に垂直な平板状の被保持部10bと、被保持部10bから径方向内側に突出するとともに上下方向に細長い接触部10aと、を有している。各々の被保持部10bは、対応する保持部材9の枠体9bと蓋部9dとで挟持されている。各々の蓋部9dは、ヒンジ部9cを介して枠体9bに対して回動され、被保持部10bの径方向外側から外側開口9g内に挿入されることで、枠体9bに嵌合している。 Each applicator 10 has a flat retained portion 10b that is elongated in the vertical direction and perpendicular to the radial direction, and a contact portion 10a that protrudes radially inward from the retained portion 10b and is elongated in the vertical direction. Each retained portion 10b is sandwiched between the frame body 9b and lid portion 9d of the corresponding retaining member 9. Each lid portion 9d is rotated relative to the frame body 9b via the hinge portion 9c, and is inserted into the outer opening 9g from the radial outside of the retained portion 10b, thereby fitting into the frame body 9b.

このように、塗布部7は、ベース部材8と2つの保持部材9の被挿入部9a及び枠体9bとで構成される本体部7cと、本体部7cにそれぞれヒンジ部9cを介して連なる2つの蓋部9dとを有しており、一方の塗布体10が本体部7cと一方の蓋部9dとで挟持され、他方の塗布体10が本体部7cと他方の蓋部9dとで挟持されている。 In this way, the applicator 7 has a main body 7c composed of the base member 8 and the inserted portions 9a and frame bodies 9b of the two holding members 9, and two lid portions 9d connected to the main body 7c via hinge portions 9c, with one applicator 10 being sandwiched between the main body 7c and one lid portion 9d, and the other applicator 10 being sandwiched between the main body 7c and the other lid portion 9d.

2つの保持部材9(又は脚部7b)は、主に突片8bの根本部での弾性変形により、その下端部を径方向に互いに近接、離間させるように揺動することができる。つまり、塗布部7は、図7に示すような被塗布部13を塗布体10の接触部10aで挟持可能な挟持形態と、図3Aに示すような被塗布部13を開放可能な開放形態と、の間で変形可能である。開放形態では2つの脚部7bは互いに平行に延び、挟持形態では2つの脚部7bがその下端部を開放形態の時よりも互いに接近させるように揺動した状態となる。 The two holding members 9 (or legs 7b) can swing their lower ends radially closer to or farther apart from each other, mainly due to elastic deformation at the base of the protrusion 8b. In other words, the applicator 7 can be deformed between a clamping form in which the applied portion 13 can be clamped by the contact portion 10a of the applicator body 10 as shown in FIG. 7, and an open form in which the applied portion 13 can be opened as shown in FIG. 3A. In the open form, the two legs 7b extend parallel to each other, and in the clamping form, the two legs 7b swing so that their lower ends are closer to each other than in the open form.

図7に示すように、キャップ6の周壁6aの下部は、キャップ6の軸方向から見て扁平に押しつぶすことが可能な可撓性を有している。また、周壁6aはその弾性により元の形状に復元可能である。図3Bに示すように、周壁6aの下部の内周面に設けられた雌ねじは間欠ねじとして形成されており、これにより周壁6aはその可撓性を高められている。そして、周壁6aは、図7に白抜き矢印で示す押圧操作によって、キャップ6の径方向内側に変形させられることで塗布部7の各々の脚部7bを径方向内側に押圧し、それにより各々の脚部7bを径方向内側に揺動させることで塗布部7を開放形態から挟持形態に変形させることが可能な変形部14を構成している。 As shown in FIG. 7, the lower part of the peripheral wall 6a of the cap 6 has flexibility that allows it to be crushed flat when viewed from the axial direction of the cap 6. The peripheral wall 6a can also return to its original shape due to its elasticity. As shown in FIG. 3B, the female thread provided on the inner peripheral surface of the lower part of the peripheral wall 6a is formed as an intermittent thread, which enhances the flexibility of the peripheral wall 6a. The peripheral wall 6a is deformed radially inward of the cap 6 by a pressing operation shown by the white arrow in FIG. 7, thereby pressing each leg 7b of the applicator 7 radially inward, thereby forming a deformation part 14 that can deform the applicator 7 from an open form to a clamped form by swinging each leg 7b radially inward.

塗布容器1を使用する際は、まず、キャップ6を把持してねじる回転操作により、図2に示すように塗布具5を口部2aから取り外す。この時、塗布部7(ベース本体8a)がキャップ6に相対回転可能に連結しているため、二股状の塗布部7が二股状の中栓3に収納された状態からキャップ6を口部2aから螺脱させることが可能となる。なお、塗布部7がキャップ6に相対回転可能に連結する構成に代えて、中栓3が口部2aに相対回転可能に連結する構成としてもよい。 When using the applicator container 1, first, the applicator 5 is removed from the mouth portion 2a by grasping and twisting the cap 6 as shown in FIG. 2. At this time, since the applicator part 7 (base body 8a) is connected to the cap 6 so as to be relatively rotatable, it is possible to unscrew the cap 6 from the mouth portion 2a while the bifurcated applicator part 7 is housed in the bifurcated inner plug 3. Note that instead of a configuration in which the applicator part 7 is connected to the cap 6 so as to be relatively rotatable, a configuration in which the inner plug 3 is connected to the mouth portion 2a so as to be relatively rotatable may be used.

塗布具5を口部2aから取り外した後は、キャップ6を持ったまま変形部14を径方向内側に押圧することで、図7に示すように塗布部7を開放形態から挟持形態に変形させて被塗布部13を2つの塗布体10の接触部10aで挟み込むことができる。そして、接触部10aで被塗布部13を挟持した状態で被塗布部13を擦過させることで、被塗布部13に対するムラの少ない良好な塗布を簡便に行うことができる。 After removing the applicator 5 from the mouth 2a, by pressing the deformation portion 14 radially inward while holding the cap 6, the applicator portion 7 can be deformed from an open state to a clamped state as shown in FIG. 7, and the applied portion 13 can be clamped between the contact portions 10a of the two applicators 10. Then, by rubbing the applied portion 13 while it is clamped between the contact portions 10a, it is possible to easily apply a good application with little unevenness to the applied portion 13.

したがって、本実施形態によれば、キャップ6を持ったまま内容物で手を汚さずに被塗布部13を塗布部7で挟み込み、擦過させることで塗布を行うことができる簡単な構造の塗布容器1を提供することができる。特に、本実施形態の塗布容器1によれば、被塗布部13を毛髪とし、内容物を染毛剤とすることにより、簡便な部分染めを可能にすることができる。なお、本実施形態の塗布容器1の用途はこれに限らない。 Therefore, according to this embodiment, it is possible to provide an applicator container 1 with a simple structure that allows application by pinching and rubbing the part to be applied 13 with the applicator part 7 while holding the cap 6 and without soiling the hands with the contents. In particular, according to the applicator container 1 of this embodiment, it is possible to easily dye parts of the hair by using hair as the part to be applied 13 and a hair dye as the contents. However, the uses of the applicator container 1 of this embodiment are not limited to this.
