Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an inverted type package for a highly viscouse fluid product by providing a container to store a fluid product, having a first and second end parts, a flow rate control valve to control the flow, and a one-way ventilation mechanism which equalizes air pressures of the inside and the outside of the container. SOLUTION: This package is equipped with a container 2 which stores a fluid product 4, a flow rate control valve 6, and a one-way ventilation mechanism 8. The container 2 has a first end part 10 and a second end part 12. A discharging port 14 is provided on a bottom part supporting surface which is located on the first end part 10, and on which the package is normally mounted. For the flow rate control valve 6, silicone rubber is preferable, and when a pressure in the container ascends higher than a specified pressure, the flow rate control valve 6 deforms, and the fluid passes a slid of the valve and is distributed. In addition, the container is equipped with the one-way ventilation mechanism 8 having a head 30 made of an elastomer, equipped with a slit 32 which opens when a pressure on the outside of the container is higher than that of the inside, and the pressures are equalized by the one-way ventilation mechanism 8. The container discharges a content when a pressure by hand is applied, and can return to the original shape when the pressure is removed.

て分配される開位置を有する。[0003] Bottom-discharge packages with self-sealing valves for storing and distributing fluid material are commercially used as packaging materials for shampoos, conditioners, soaps, detergents and the like. The use of a self-sealing valve eliminates the need to operate a removable lid when dispensing product. Typically, self-sealing valves have a closed position to prevent fluid from draining through the valve when not in use, and fluid is dispensed through the valve when a manual throttle is applied. It has an open position.

る。[0004] An advantage of the inverted configuration is that the product can be removed immediately. There is no need to wait for the viscous fluid to flow to the open end. But there are problems with this advantage. That is, external air needs to be packaged to balance the pressure. A low airflow can hinder distribution, make a gurgling, and sometimes cause splashing, which generally makes consumers uncomfortable with the operation.

This is particularly noticeable in the case of self-sealing valves such as the silicone rubber type provided with a slit as reported in US Pat. Nos. 5,213,236 and 5,339,995. A similar problem occurs with the container self-sealing dispensing valve disclosed in US Pat. No. 4,728,006 (Drobish et al.) Designed for shampoos, conditioners, and other hair care products.

The valve is concavely mounted on the bottle to avoid breakage and prevent leakage of the contents.
