DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a container which can be easily opened only when necessary.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years,
In many cases, refills are filled and used repeatedly without disposing of containers for liquid products and powdery and granular products. As a container to be filled and used repeatedly with a refill, an inner lid having a spout is screwed into an opening of the container body, and an outer lid is screwed into an outer peripheral surface of the inner lid to seal the spout. A known container is known (Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 7-33861). However, this container, when removing the outer lid, the inner lid rotates together,
The opening of the container body may be opened when it is not necessary.

Further, there is known a container in which the inner lid is prevented from rotating by a ratchet or the like in order to prevent the outer lid and the inner lid from rotating together. When filling this container with a refill, the refill must be injected from the spout of the contents or the inner lid must be forcibly rotated to remove it, but both methods are troublesome and quick. Filling is difficult. In addition, when filling from the spout, the refill is likely to spill outside, and when injecting with the inner lid removed, the function of preventing co-rotation may be impaired by repeatedly attaching and detaching the inner lid.

Further, it is preferable that the container is not easily opened when the container is accidentally dropped or used unintentionally.

A first object of the present invention is to provide a container which can be easily opened only when necessary. Further, a second object of the present invention is to allow a proper amount of contents to be easily poured out through a spout and to easily open the opening of the container body only when necessary and to refill products. An object of the present invention is to provide a container which can be easily and quickly filled.
