Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a refillable container having a thin main body having extremely small shape retention, and a storage container for loading the refillable container.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Containers having a thin main body having extremely low shape retention are known, and are used, for example, as refill containers for kitchen detergents and clothing detergents.

[0003] Such a refillable container requires an operation of transferring the content filled in the thin body portion to, for example, an existing container which is shipped in a state where the content is filled in advance. In this operation, the contents of the refill container are poured from the spout into the spout of an existing container.

[0004]

However, when refilling a thin-walled refillable container into an existing container, the refilling container has a very small shape-retaining property and its posture is not stable. Care must be taken, and the task is complicated.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problem, and eliminates a complicated refilling operation required for refilling contents from a thin-walled container having a very small shape retention into an existing container. The purpose is to:

[0006]

In order to solve this problem, a refill container according to a first aspect of the present invention is a refill container provided with a thin-walled body portion having extremely small shape retention. In the first invention, the refill container comprises a main body portion loaded inside the storage container, and a spout integrally formed with the main body portion to discharge the contents in the refill container. It has a positioning member for positioning the refill container with respect to the storage container.

In this case, since the refill container can be directly loaded into the storage container by the positioning member, a complicated refill operation required for refilling the contents from a thin-walled container having a very small shape retention into an existing container is eliminated. Therefore, according to the first invention, the contents can be efficiently transferred without taking out the contents from the refill container. In addition, since the refill container has a positioning member at its neck portion, it can be laid out at the most suitable position without changing the diameter of the refill container.

According to the second invention, it is preferable that the spout of the refill container is sealed by a virgin cap, and the positioning member is formed integrally with a cap band of the virgin cap. In this case, since the positioning member is formed integrally with the cap band, the layout can be performed at the neck portion of the refill container without increasing the number of components.

[0009] In addition, according to the third aspect of the present invention, it is preferable that the positioning member be of a snap type that can be detachably attached to a neck portion of the refill container. In this case, since the positioning member is detachable from the refill container, the positioning member can be reused and can be used for an existing refill container.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, a storage container for loading a refill container is a storage container for loading the refill container itself, wherein the storage container has an internal space for loading the refill container through a storage opening, and an internal space for loading the refill container. An inner step for stably locking the loaded refill container at the storage opening, and closing the storage opening of the storage container in a state where the refill container is locked by the inner step to fix and hold the refill container in its internal space. Consists of a cap.

In this case, since the storage container can be directly loaded with the refill container by the inner step and the cap, the complicated refill operation required for refilling the contents from a thin-walled container having a very small shape retention to an existing container is eliminated. be able to. Therefore, according to the present invention, the contents can be efficiently transferred without taking out the contents from the refill container.

According to the storage container for loading the refill container according to the fifth invention, the cap is directly inserted into the spout of the refill container loaded in the storage container, and the pump sucks and discharges the contents therefrom. Preferably, it is provided. In this case, the contents can be easily taken out without moving the storage container loaded with the refill container.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of the present invention will be specifically described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIGS. 1 (a), 1 (b) and 2 show a first embodiment of a refill container and a storage container for loading the refill container according to the present invention. FIG. 1 (a) shows a refill container. FIG. 1B is a partial cross-sectional view showing a state in which the virgin cap is removed from the refill container, and FIG. 2B is a partial cross-sectional view showing a state in which the virgin cap is removed from the refill container. FIG. 4 is a partial cross-sectional view showing a state in which it is performed.

As shown in FIG. 1B, the refill container 10 has a thin main body portion 11 having a very small shape-retaining property, and a spout formed integrally with the main body portion 11 to discharge the contents in the refill container 10. It consists of 12. The spout 12 is sealed by a virgin cap 20.

The virgin cap 20 is used for the refill container 1.
By showing the consumer that 0 is unopened,
As shown in FIG. 1A, a cap body 21 for closing a spout 12 and a cap band attached to a neck portion 13 of the spout 12 are provided for providing a high quality product to a consumer. The cap body 21 and the cap band 22 are detachably connected by a plurality of ribs 23. In the present embodiment, the cap band 22 is provided with a positioning member 40 for positioning the refill container 10 with respect to the storage container 30 described later.
Are integrally formed. The positioning member 40 has a shape corresponding to a cross-sectional shape of a storage opening 31 described later in the storage container 30, and the positioning member 40 in the present embodiment has a disk shape.

According to the present embodiment, since the refill container 10 can be directly loaded into the storage container 30 by the positioning member 40, a complicated process for refilling the contents from the thin-walled container 10 having a very small shape retention to an existing container is required. Refilling work is eliminated. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the contents can be efficiently transferred to the storage container 30 having high rigidity without taking out the contents from the refill container 10. in addition,
Since the refill container 10 has the positioning member 40 in the neck portion 13, it can be laid out at the most suitable position without changing the diameter of the refill container 10.

In particular, according to this embodiment, the refill container 1
The zero spout 12 is sealed by the virgin cap 20, and the positioning member 40 is formed integrally with the cap band 22 of the virgin cap 20.
