[0009]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. The container 1 of the present invention has a container body A in which the mouth and neck 3 stands upright from the body 2, a mounting cap 4 is fitted to the mouth and neck 3, and the container 1 is detachably mounted on the container body, and is projected upward from the mounting cap. And a liquid ejection pump B configured to suck up the liquid in the container body and eject the liquid from the ejection port 6 of the head by the action of the built-in pump mechanism by the vertical movement of the ejection head 5.

[0010] An example of the pump mechanism will be described with reference to the drawings. An upper end of a cylinder having a lower end suspended in the container is fixed to a mouth and neck of the container with a mounting cap, and a jet head is fitted and fixed to the upper end. Of the stem is vertically suspended in the cylinder, and an annular piston protruding from the lower part of the outer periphery of the stem is slidably fitted on the inner periphery of the cylinder, and the stem is urged upward by a coil spring. Further, a structure in which a suction valve is provided at a lower portion in the cylinder and a discharge valve is provided in the stem can be adopted. In addition, various pump mechanisms used in conventional pumps of this type can be employed.

According to the present invention, in this kind of liquid jetting container, a plurality of vertically long recesses 7 which are open at the upper end face and side faces and are closed at the lower end face are formed around the body 2 at intervals in the circumferential direction. ing. The formation positions of the recesses 7 may be any positions as long as they are around the trunk, and the number thereof is not limited to four as shown in the illustrated example, but may be two to three or five or more. What is necessary is just to select suitably according to the size of a container body, etc.

In the illustrated example, the body 2 of the container body is formed in a rectangular tube shape that is long in the front-rear direction with each corner chamfered in an arc shape, and is positioned at about 2/3 in the vertical direction from the upper surface of the body. Are formed at the four corners. In the container A, an engagement groove 8 is formed in the lower peripheral edge of the recess 7 of the body 2. That is, it extends downward from the vertical central portion immediately after the front left concave portion 7, extends horizontally just below the front left and right concave portions 7, 7, and then extends upward immediately below the front right concave portion 7 to extend in the vertical direction. An engaging groove 8 reaching the center is provided. Similarly, an engagement groove 8 symmetrical to the engagement groove 8 is formed in the rear portion of the trunk.

In the present invention, a cover plate 10 which covers the lower portion of each recess 7 and defines fitting portions 9 inside is fixed to the outer surface of the body.

The cover plate 10 in the illustrated example covers the lower portions of two recesses uniformly, and has a U-shape in plan view in which a pair of side plates 10b, 10b are respectively extended from both sides of a rectangular substrate 10a. Engagement ridges 11 are protruded from the front edge of the inner surface of the side plate, the lower edge of the inner surface of the side plate, and the lower edge of the inner surface of the substrate. And the engagement ridge
11 into the engagement groove 8 of the container body, and
10 covers the lower part of the recess 7 at each of the two front and rear portions, and the fitting portions 9 are formed on the inner surfaces thereof.

Further, in the present invention, a plurality of small containers 12 with caps are respectively accommodated in the respective concave portions by fitting the lower portions of the respective fitting portions 9 in a detachable manner.

Each of the small containers 12 stores, for example, a flavoring agent for imparting a scent to the liquid stored in the container A. Each time a required amount of the container liquid is ejected, It is for selecting a desired one and imparting a desired scent to the liquid.

Each of the small containers 12 is composed of a main body 12a and a cap 12b detachably mounted on the main body. As a form of the main body, for example, one in which the mouth and neck are erected from the upper end of the cylindrical body can be adopted as an extremely general form. Further, the body may be squeezable so that the stored liquid can be easily poured out. The cap 12b is also of a very general form in which the top wall is extended from the upper end edge of the peripheral wall, which is screwed to the mouth and neck portion or engaged by the ridges, for example, or is screwed to the mouth and neck portion. It is possible to adopt a configuration in which the combined tube is vertically provided from the back surface of the top wall and the peripheral wall is provided vertically from the peripheral edge of the top wall. In addition, it is also possible to use a small atomizer type in which the main body is formed in an aerosol type.

In the illustrated example, the lower portion of the cylindrical main body 12a is fitted into the fitting portion 9 so that the upper portion protrudes into the upper portion of the concave portion 7. A cap 12b is screwed onto the mouth and neck of the main body 12a. Therefore, it is formed in a vertically long cylindrical shape as a whole. The shape of the small container 12 is not limited to the above-mentioned cylindrical shape, but can be appropriately adopted.

The container A, the cover plate 10 and the small containers 12 can be separately replaced when the stored liquid is used up. For example, the container A and the cover other than the pump B can be replaced. It is also possible to distribute and sell the plate 10 and the small container 12 in a state where a normal cap is fitted to the mouth and neck of the container instead of the pump as a set.

In the case of using the container constructed as described above, for example, a small odor or odorless liquid containing only the raw material odor is stored in the container body, and a different flavor is provided in each small container 12. The main liquid pumped up and ejected by the pump B at the time of use is added with a favorite flavoring agent from the small container 12 for use. Note that all of the above members can be formed of a synthetic resin.

[0021]

As described above, since the container of the present invention comprises a plurality of small containers with caps, for example, each of them contains a different flavoring agent, and the main liquid in the container is used as a raw material. If the main liquor in the container is used when a slight odor of only a odor or a substantially odorless state is used, there is a convenience in use that a different scent can be given each time according to the use. In addition, since the small container is housed in the concave portion provided in the body of the container, the entire structure can be made compact, and the fitting portion can be formed by simply fixing the cover plate to the container. Is also very easy.

In the container according to the second aspect, since the cover plate can be formed only by fitting the cover plate to the container body, the assembling thereof is extremely easy, and furthermore, the engaging ridge and the engaging ridge are provided. Due to the concave groove structure, there is no inconvenience that the cover plate once fitted easily comes off due to an external force, and there is no possibility that the cover plate comes off during use and the small container falls.
