Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable delivery of viscous liquid filled in a container without residual to the end by providing a slope on a container bottom and also providing a recessed reservoir for finally reserving residual liquid at a lower end of the slope. SOLUTION: A manual pump 12 is provided on an upper part of a container, and a resin tube 13 coupled to the manual pump 12 is placed in the container. On the other hand, a bottom 11a of a container body 11 is shaped to exhibit an inverted cone with a center pointed downward from a periphery, while a tip of the resin tube 13 is located at a center 11b of the conic bottom. Further a cup-like stand member 14 to fit with an outer periphery of the lower end of the container body 11 is provided to allow the body 11 to stand by itself. As bath soap left in the container decreases, residual liquid naturally flows down in the inverted-cone-shaped container 11a and finally gathers at a portion 11b at the center of the bottom. Since the resin tube 13 coupled to the manual pump 12 is located at the bottom center 11b, the bath soap can be delivered without residual.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a liquid shampoo or rinse container, and more particularly to a container structure for preventing liquid soap from being left behind by a manual pump.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Recently, a stationary type resin container equipped with a so-called manual pump has been used as a container for viscous liquid soap (bath soap) for bathrooms such as shampoo, conditioner, body soap and the like. In these containers, as shown in FIG. 9, a resin tube 2 for sucking a bath soap is arranged in a container 1 made of synthetic resin, while a manual pump 3 is provided at the top cap portion of the container, and a head 4 of this pump is provided. By pushing down, a predetermined amount of viscous soap is taken out through the tube 2.

Since these containers are entirely made of thin resin, in order to increase the rigidity thereof, an inverted U-shaped convex portion 5 having a gentle curve is formed especially on the bottom surface so as to resist external force. Has become. Liquid soap will eventually
The tip of the tube 2 connected to the manual pump is arranged so as to be located in the vicinity of the bottom portion because it collects on the bottom of the peripheral edge of the character-shaped convex portion 5, so that residual liquid is prevented as much as possible.

[0004]

By the way, in such a conventional bath soap container, although the tip of the resin tube is located on the bottom surface of the container, there is a problem that the residual liquid cannot be pumped out at the final stage of use. there were.

Because when the remaining amount of the liquid soap becomes very small, the residual liquid spreads and remains on the entire periphery of the U-shaped convex portion, so that the tip of the resin tube (suction port) is exposed from the liquid surface.
This is because suction by the pump cannot be performed smoothly.
For this reason, in the conventional container, in order to use up the bath soap remaining at the bottom to the end, there is no choice but to remove it by removing the pump cap and filling the container with water, etc.In case of trouble, effective residual liquid remains. Despite the fact, there were many cases in which the container was thrown away.

On the other hand, even in the case of the conventional container, in order to enable the pumping out to the end, as shown in FIG. 8, the length of the tube is adjusted so that the tip of the tube serving as the suction port is located at the peripheral portion of the bottom surface of the container. There are some ideas such as bending with a margin, and cutting the tip of the tube so that the suction port is at a lower position.If you tilt the container to the side where the tube is located, the liquid remaining on the bottom of the container will be removed. It can be sucked out to the end.

However, the bath soap container dislikes the transparent resin in order to maintain the quality. For this reason, the inside of the container is generally invisible, and it is not possible to visually recognize from which side the tube tip is located. Even if the container is transparent and the tip position of the tube can be confirmed, since the liquid is viscous, it does not flow down immediately even if the container is tilted.

[0008] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to make it possible to take out the bath soap of the viscous liquid filled up to the end.

[0009]

To achieve the above object and solve the problems, a bath soap container according to the present invention is a resin container for sealing a liquid bath soap, and is a manual container for taking out the bath soap. On the technical premise of a bath soap container equipped with a pump and a resin tube, the bottom surface of the container is provided with an inclination, and at the lower end of the inclination, one concave storage portion capable of finally storing the residual liquid is provided, while a manual pump is provided. The tip of the connected resin tube is located at the deepest part of the concave reservoir.

[0010]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION A bath soap container according to the present invention is
Since the bottom surface of the container is provided with an inclination, the viscous liquid naturally flows down toward the bottom surface while the container is placed upright. That is, the residual liquid is always accumulated on the bottom surface. Since one concave reservoir is formed at the lower end of the slope, the residual liquid that has flowed down is finally collected in this concave reservoir. This concave reservoir is one place. When the tip of the resin tube is located in the recess, all the residual liquid remaining until the end is collected at the tip of one resin tube, and the tube sucks up the liquid bath soap remaining until the end.

[0011]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a sectional view showing an example of a bath soap container according to the present invention. As shown in the figure, this container is a resin container for sealing a liquid bath soap, and a manual pump 12 for taking out the bath soap is provided at the upper part of the container. A tube 13 is arranged.

On the other hand, the bottom surface 11a of the container body 11 is shaped so as to have an inverted conical shape that is pointed downward from the peripheral portion to the central portion, and the central portion (the deepest portion) 1 of this conical bottom surface 1
The tip of the resin tube 13 is located at 1b. Further, a cup-shaped stand member 14 fitted to the outer periphery of the lower end portion of the container body 11 is provided, and the stand member 14 enables the container body 11 to stand upright. The bottom surface 14a of the stand member may be flat as in the example of FIGS. 5 to 6 described later, but in this embodiment, it is gently curved in an inverted U shape. This is to make it hard to slip when placed on the floor of the bathroom.

The material (kind of resin) and the manufacturing method of the container body 11 and the stand member 14 are not particularly limited. For example, a synthetic resin material such as polyethylene is used to separately form the container body 11 and the stand member 14 by blow molding (blow molding) or injection blow molding, and a stand is formed at the lower end of the container body 11 by heat welding or an adhesive. The member 14 can be attached. Further, it is also possible to use polypropylene, thermoplastic polyester (PET resin) or other resin materials.

Further, the stand member (14) is not essential to the present invention, and as shown in FIG. 2, the leg portion 18 which falls from the peripheral edge of the bottom surface may be provided integrally with the container side wall and the bottom surface 11a. Further, as shown in FIG. 3, a resin container 21 having a bottom whose thickness gradually increases from the center to the periphery is integrally formed by, for example, injection molding, and the inside of the bottom surface has an inverted conical inclined surface similar to that of the container body of FIG. Can also be formed. The manual pump 12 may have the same structure as a conventional bath soap container. In addition to the type in which a predetermined amount of bath soap is discharged from the tip of the nozzle 16 when the head 15 is pushed down as shown in the figure, the liquid soap may be discharged by a trigger-like operation member.

Therefore, according to such a bath soap container, even if the remaining amount of the bath soap in the container becomes small, the residual liquid naturally flows down the inverted conical container bottom surface 11a (21a), and the bottom center portion. Eventually, they will be gathered at one location 11b (21b). Since the tip (suction port) of the resin tube 13 connected to the manual pump 12 is located at the bottom center portion 11b (21b), it is possible to take out the bath soap through the tube 13 without leaving any portion.

FIG. 4 is a sectional view illustrating another lower structure of the bath soap container according to the present invention. As shown in the figure, in this container, the bottom surface 31a of the container body 31 has a bowl-shaped spherical shape, and the tip of the resin tube 13 is positioned at the center portion 31b. The liquid soap sealed by such a container structure has a bottom center 31 where the tip of the resin tube is located.
It will naturally gather in b, and it will be possible to prevent the remaining bath soap.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, FIG.
In the container shown in FIG. 4, a recess 4 is formed at the center of the bottom surface.

The recesses 42,
The diameter (inner diameter) of 52 is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the tip of the resin tube. Further, in order to secure a suction port for the liquid soap, the resin tube 13 has a length dimension such that its tip does not come into contact with the bottom surface of the recess. Further, in order to ensure the suction, the tip of the resin tube 13 is attached to the (a) to (d) of FIG.
As shown in (4), the slope may be cut appropriately. Further, in the container shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 and the container shown in FIG. 4, the leg portions (18) may be formed on the peripheral portion of the bottom surface or the thickness of the bottom plate may be changed as in the case of FIGS. 2 and 3. By stand member 1
It is also possible to mold a container that can be placed upright without 4.

Further, the one concave storage portion capable of finally storing the residual liquid does not necessarily have to be provided at the center position of the bottom surface of the container, and may be provided at the peripheral portion of the container, for example.
That is, in the container shown in FIG. 8, the bottom surface of the container is an inclined surface 72 that is inclined to one side, and the channel 7 is formed along the inclination direction of the bottom surface.
3 was formed. Further, the resin tube 13 was curved laterally so that the tube tip was positioned in the groove at the lower end of the channel 73. Even with such a container structure, the sealed liquid soap flows down the inclined bottom surface 72 and finally collects in the channel of the bottom end 74 of the bottom surface where the tube tip is located. Therefore, the residual liquid is taken out to the end. You can
