Definitions
- the present invention relates to a foam cap, and more specifically, the content liquid is foamed from a content liquid ejection pipe provided in the cap by squeezing the squeeze container attached to the squeeze container and tilting the container.
- the present invention relates to a foaming cap that is ejected.
- Caps that have a mechanism for foaming the contents of a container in a foam state are conventionally known. For example, bottles containing seasonings, foods, beverages or detergents, cosmetics, etc. Has been applied to containers.
- the content liquid and air must be mixed and then the content liquid must be ejected from the container.
- the conventional foaming cap when the content liquid is ejected, the air in the container (air existing in the head space) is not immediately discharged out of the container, but is once taken in and mixed with the content liquid.
- a tube for discharging the content liquid so as to be mixed with the air in the container is provided, and such a tube is extremely long (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2).
- the foaming cap provided with the tube as described above has a problem that the capping work for mounting the tube on the container mouth is extremely troublesome. That is, since such a tube is not only long but rich in flexibility, alignment for passing the tube through a small-diameter container mouth becomes extremely troublesome.
- Patent Document 3 A foam cap having no tube as described above has also been proposed (see Patent Document 3).
- a small foam generating sheet such as a Teflon (registered trademark) resin processed cloth is attached to the foam cap, and the air present in the liquid in the container and the head space of the bottle is discharged through the sheet.
- the content liquid is ejected in the form of bubbles.
- an object of the present invention is to provide a foam cap that does not have a member that hinders capping, such as a tube, and that can continuously perform foaming.
- a foam cap attached to the mouth portion of a squeeze container, comprising a cap body comprising a ceiling wall and a cylindrical side wall lowered from the periphery of the ceiling wall, and further comprising the squeeze container
- a partition member having an opening to be a passage for the content liquid filled in, and the partition member is attached to the cap body,
- an ejection pipe is provided to communicate with the lower space of the ceiling wall and eject the container liquid.
- an air chamber is formed that is partitioned from the head space of the squeeze container by the partition member,
- an air passage for flowing the air in the air chamber to the ejection pipe and a liquid flow path for flowing the content liquid that has entered the air chamber through the opening to the ejection pipe communicate with each other.
- the path and the liquid flow path are formed so as to merge at the merge section, and the region from the merge section to the ejection pipe is a gas-liquid mixing flow path,
- the air in the air chamber flows into the air passage by the liquid pressure caused by intrusion into the air passage, and the content liquid that flows into the liquid passage and the air that flows into the air passage are mixed with each other at the merging portion.
- a foaming cap is provided in which a liquid containing the liquid passes through the ejection pipe and is ejected in the form of foam from the tip of the ejection pipe.
- At least one mesh member for adjusting the bubble diameter is provided between a region where the content liquid and air are mixed and a tip of the ejection pipe.
- the partition wall in which the cylindrical side wall is formed with a portion that engages with or fits into the mouth of the squeeze container, and the liquid intrusion opening for allowing the content liquid to pass through is formed in a peripheral portion.
- (1-1) The gas-liquid mixed flow communicated with the inside of the ejection pipe between the lower surface of the ceiling wall and the upper surface of the box by fixing the foaming box inside the cylindrical side wall. That the road is formed, Or (1-2) the gas-liquid mixing channel is formed inside the foaming box; Is preferred.
- An inner lid provided with a partition wall provided with the opening on the upper surface and fixed to the mouth of the squeeze container has a function as the partition member, and the cylindrical side wall is attached to and detached from the inner lid.
- the partition wall of the inner lid is formed with a planned opening portion that forms the opening by rupture due to pulling by an opening ring, and the partition wall that is the upper surface of the inner lid and the ceiling wall.
- An important feature of the foam cap of the present invention is that an air chamber partitioned from the head space is formed between the ceiling wall constituting the cap and the head space of the container. It is in the point where it has the structure which is mixed with the content liquid with which it fills in the container and is ejected. That is, since the air that is present in the air chamber formed in the cap is used, the air is discharged so as to be mixed with the content liquid, unlike the case where the air that is present in the head space of the container is used. It is not necessary to use a tube, and of course, a tube for discharging the content liquid so as to be mixed with air is not necessary.
- the air to be mixed with the content liquid is present in the air chamber and not in the head space in the container, and the container content liquid is not limited to the periphery of the partition wall without taking any special measures. It passes through the liquid flow path from the liquid intrusion opening formed in the section, is mixed with the air from the air chamber, and is ejected in the form of bubbles from the ejection pipe. Therefore, in the present invention, a special member such as a tube is not necessary for foaming, and as a result, the foaming cap can easily perform capping work on the container mouth.
- the air present in the air chamber of the cap is discharged through the air passage by the liquid pressure when the liquid in the container enters the air chamber.
- the liquid has a structure in which the liquid flow path through which the content liquid flowing out of the air chamber passes joins the air path. That is, the content liquid does not flow through the same path as the air while pushing out the air, and when the content liquid reaches the junction of the liquid flow path and the air path where mixing with the air starts, the air is almost external.
- the inconvenience of being discharged is effectively prevented, and it becomes possible to continuously mix a certain amount of air with the content liquid and to eject it in the form of bubbles.

また、頂壁板40の下面と液流路形成板47の上面とが密着し、これにより、溝47dに対応する部分が液流路33となり、この液流路33の一方側の端部は切り欠き47bにより形成された開口に連通し、他方の端部は、開口45に連通することとなる。
尚、上記では泡立て用ボックス5の組み立ての一例を示したのであり、上記空気路31、液流路33及び気液混合流路35が形成されるのであれば、泡立てボックス5がどのように成形されていてもよい。
また、空気室30内の空気は、容器60内のヘッドスペース60a側に逃げないため、安定且つ持続して泡立てを行うことができる。
また、泡立て用ボックス5を筒状側壁11の内部に形成することにより、天井壁13の下面と泡立て用ボックス5(頂壁板40)との間に気液混合流路35を形成するため、キャップ本体1の天井壁13には、噴出管に連なる開口部の周縁(粗メッシュ20の周縁)に短い長さの足49を環状に形成しておくことが好ましい。勿論、この足49には、空気路31からの空気を流入するための切り欠きが空気路31側に形成されることとなる。
泡立て用ボックス5の取り付けは、先に述べた通りであるが、頂壁板40への液流路形成板47への嵌め込み固定や、頂壁板40及び仕切り板37の筒状側壁11内への嵌め込み固定などに際して、係合手段による係止や或いは接着剤やヒートシールなどの手段を適宜採用することができる。
また、上記の天面部5aの中心部分には、気液混合流路35からの気液混合液を通すための開口80が形成されている。
また、この部材73には、気液混合流路35に相当する溝73aが形成されており、かかる溝73aは、外壁部材71の天面部5aの開口80に対応する中心部分を含むように延びている。
天面部75dの形状は、外壁部材71の天面に対応する円形状であるが、互いに対向するように、切り欠き部75a,75bが形成されている。即ち、切り欠き部75aは、図7から理解されるように、垂直方向に延びている空気路31aに対応するものであり、切り欠き部75bは、液流路33に対応するものである。
また、天面部75dの中心部分には、互いに対向している上記の切り欠き部75a,75bを結ぶように溝75cが延びている。即ち、この溝75cは、垂直方向に延びている空気路31aに連通し且つ液流路33と合流している水平方向に延びている空気路33bに対応するものである。
組み合立てられた泡立て用ボックス5’は、外壁部材71に形成されている係合用環状突起5cをキャップ本体1のインナーリング11bに係合させることにより、キャップ本体1に安定に保持されることとなる。
さらに、液流路33が空気室形成部材75の筒状壁75e(切り欠き75aに対応する部分)によって空気室30と区画されており、空気室30に内容液が一気に浸入しないように制御されている点で、図1の態様と大きく異なっている。
また、気液混合流路35の上壁となっている天面5aには、メッシュボックス90内に通じる開口80が形成されている。従って、空気が混ざり、泡状となった容器内容液は、開口80を通ってメッシュボックス90に導入されることとなる。
また、水平フランジ97の下面には、短い長さの突起99が環状に形成されており、この突起99の外面が、上記係合突起5cの上部内面に密着することにより、このメッシュボックス90がしっかりと保持されるようになっている。
また、この態様においては、メッシュボックス90をキャップ本体1とは別体として設けているが、キャップ本体1と一体に設けることもできる。
このような構造の泡立てキャップの構造を図12に示す。
かかる中蓋101は、仕切り壁103と、その周縁部から降下している環状側壁105とからなっている。
かかる液浸入開口予定部39aの上面には、上端に引張リング111を備えた支柱113が設けられており、引張リング111を引っ張り上げることにより、スコア110が破断し、前述した液浸入開口39が形成される。即ち、液浸入開口予定部39aが液浸入開口39となる。
また、中蓋101が口部61に固定された状態では、インナーリング117の外面が、口部61の内面に密着し、良好な密封性が確保されるようになっている。
また、環状側壁105の上部は、その全周或いは一部に、スリット119が形成されており、これにより、環状側壁105が外側壁105aと内側壁105bとに区画されている。このような二重壁構造とすることにより、例えば、外側壁105bを引き剥がすことにより、中蓋101を、格別の工具を使用することなく、容易に口部61から取り外すことが可能となる。また、中蓋101の口部61への装着(打栓)も容易に行うことが可能となる。
この噴出管17も上方部分が傾斜しており、その先端部には、内蓋19が連結部19aでヒンジ連結されている。
また、閉じられた外蓋3は、天井壁周縁部に形成されている係止突起25が、外蓋3の側壁下端の内面に係合し、これにより、外蓋3の閉栓状態が安定に保持される。同時に、外蓋3に設けられているリブ27が内蓋19をしっかりと押し付けており、従って、内蓋19の閉栓状態も安定に保持される。
さらに、閉じられた外蓋3を旋回して開放すると、外蓋3に設けられている突片29が、内蓋19のフランジ部に当接し、外蓋3の旋回に伴って内蓋19を押し上げる。これにより、外蓋3の開栓と同時に、内蓋19も開栓され、噴出管17の先端が解放され、内容液を噴出し得る状態となる。
即ち、この混合流路形成用パネル120の上面には、前述した天井壁13の下側に設けられている環状小突起13a及び液流規制突起13bが当接する。これにより、混合流路形成部材120の上面と天井壁13の下面との間に気液混合流路35が形成される。また、上記の開口123を通って気液混合流路35に流れ込んだ液は、液流規制突起13bによって噴出管17の内部に誘導され、さらに、内容液の噴出終了後、噴出管17から垂れ落ちてくる液は、液流規制突起13bによって、開口123内に速やかに誘導される。
この筒状壁122bは、その外径がキャップ本体1の筒状側壁11の内径に相当するものであり、筒状側壁11の内部に嵌め込まれる。また、筒状壁122bの上部は、天面基板122aの上面よりも突出しており、環状小突起13aと筒状側壁11との間の空間に嵌め込まれるようになっている。
即ち、外蓋3及び内蓋19を開放し、この状態で、噴出管17の先端が下側となるように、容器を適当な角度θだけ傾けて容器の胴部をスクイズする。これにより、容器内容液は、液浸入開口39から空気室30内を通って小孔128を介して液流路33内に流れ込む。一方、空気室30内に浸入した容器内容液70による液圧(液面70aの上昇)によって、空気室30内の空気は、容器内には流れ込まず、空気路31を通って、液流路33との合流部に流れ込む。
このようにして、空気室30内の空気と容器内容液とが気液混合流路35で合流して混合され、気泡を含む容器内容液が、粗メッシュ93及び微細メッシュ95を通り、泡となって噴出管17から噴出される。
