The inner bottle 1B suspends the body 3B from the neck 2B fitted into the neck 2A of the outer bottle 1A, and forms the entire outer shape of the body in the shape of a character or the like,
Further, the outer bottle 1A is made transparent or semi-transparent so that the outer shape of the inner bottle body 3B can be seen through.
[0008]
The third means has the first or second means, and the body 3B of the inner bottle is a flexible thin body.
[0009]
The fourth means has the first, second or third means, and the cap-like member 11 is provided with a mounting cylinder 12 attached to a vertical pump and a cylinder hanging down from the mounting cylinder. Inserted into the container body 1 and fitted to the outer surface of the neck,
A pressing head 22 with a nozzle is attached to the upper end of the stem rising from the cylinder.
[0010]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
1 to 3 show a container according to a first embodiment of the present invention. The container includes a container body 1, a cap-like member 11, and an operating member 21.
[0011]
In the structure of the present invention, a conventionally known portion will be briefly described. A cap-shaped member 11 is fitted on the outer surface of the neck of the container body 1. The cap-shaped member fits the mounting cylinder 12 attached to the vertical pump into the outer surface of the neck of the container body 1 by inserting a cylinder hanging from the mounting cylinder into the container body 1. The operating member 21 has a press-down head 22 with a nozzle at the upper end of a stem rising from the cylinder.
[0012]
The container body 1 includes an outer bottle 1A and an inner bottle 1B provided inside the outer bottle. The mouth and neck 2B of the inner bottle is liquid-tightly fitted to the inner surface of the neck 2A of the outer bottle, and the neck of the container body 1 is formed by the mouth and neck 2B of the inner bottle and the outer bottle neck 2A. I have. As means for attaching the inner bottle neck 3B to the outer bottle neck 2A, for example, an outward flange attached to the upper end of the inner bottle neck 3B is placed on the upper end surface of the outer bottle neck 2A. Alternatively, as in the case of injection blow molding described later, the inner bottle mouth and neck may be formed in a state of being stuck in layers to the inner surface of the neck of the outer bottle. Further, in the illustrated example, a screw is provided on the outer surface of the neck portion 2A of the outer bottle so that the mounting cylinder 12 of the cap-like member can be screwed into the outer bottle. However, these structures can be appropriately changed.
[0013]
In the present invention, in the outer bottle 1A, the neck 2A stands upright from the body 3A, and is desirably formed of a rigid transparent material. Note that the outer bottle may be formed of a translucent material having a degree of transparency enough to allow a pattern described later to be seen through.
[0014]
The inner bottle 1B is formed by drawing a pattern of a character or the like on a body 3B standing up from the mouth and neck 2B by printing or the like. The inner bottle body 3B has an outer diameter smaller than the inner diameter of the outer bottle body 3A. When the inner bottle 1B is installed in the outer bottle 1A as shown in FIG. It is good to provide it as possible. The body 3B of the inner bottle can be formed into a thin body by blow molding or injection blow molding the inner bottle, and can be formed as soft and thin as a pouch by sheet molding.
[0015]
The inner and outer bottles are not limited to those having the mouth, neck, or neck smaller in diameter than the body as shown in the illustrated example, and these mouth, neck, neck, and body are cylindrical containers having substantially the same diameter. Is also good.
[0016]
When the inner bottle 1B is provided inside the outer bottle 1A, when the inner bottle is formed by blow molding, a parison on which a pattern such as a character is drawn is prepared in advance, and a portion corresponding to the body of the parison is attached to the outer bottle body. While being inserted into the portion 3A, the mouth and neck portion of the parison can be fitted to the neck of the outer bottle and blow molded. Further, when the inner bottle 1B is formed into a sheet as a pouch or a flexible thin container, a portion corresponding to the body may be narrowed and suspended from the neck 3A of the outer bottle into the outer bottle body 2A.
[0017]
In the above configuration, as shown in FIG. 1, the pattern 4 of a character such as a monster drawn on the outer surface of the inner bottle 1B can be seen through the body 3A of the outer bottle, and the pattern 4 can be seen from the surface of the body of the outer bottle. Since there is depth between 4 and 4, for example, it looks like a monster is in a cage. Further, the outer bottle 1A protects the inner bottle 1B from collision with other objects.
[0018]
FIG. 4 shows a second embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the entire outer shape of the inner bottle 1B is shaped into a character or the like, and the other configuration is the same as that of the first embodiment.
[0019]
In each of the above embodiments, the double container with a pump may be replaced with a double container with a straw. In this case, while removing the vertical pump, instead of the cap-shaped member 11, a cap-shaped member is provided in which a mounting cylinder attached to the outer surface of the outer bottle neck 2A is hung from the peripheral edge of the top wall. A straw may be inserted through the top wall of the cap-shaped member. Further, the cap-like member may be a cap-like member with a discharge nozzle.
[0020]
【The invention's effect】
The present invention has the above configuration, and according to the first and second aspects of the present invention, the following configuration is provided.
○ The thin body portion 3B of the inner bottle is suspended in the transparent or translucent outer bottle 1A, and the body portion is provided with a decorative pattern or shape representing a character such as a monster. Since a three-dimensional effect is produced between the outer bottle body 3A and the monster or the like, it looks as if the monster or the like is confined in the inner bottle.
The inner bottle 1B can be formed at a low cost because it can be formed by blow molding or sheet molding.
The outer bottle 1A protects the inner bottle 1B from contact with other objects and prevents the inner bottle from being damaged.
[0021]
According to the invention of claim 2, the following effects are obtained.
○ Since the entire outer shape of the inner bottle 1B is shaped as an outer shape of a character or the like, the container itself is given a feeling of interest as if it is a doll, and the fun is further increased.
○ Because the inner bottle 1B is suspended from the outer bottle 1A, the inner bottle does not need to be formed in a self-supporting shape, and regardless of the shape, for example, a character or the like runs or jumps into the air. Since it is possible to form a figure that performs various operations, containers with various designs can be provided.
[0022]
According to the invention of claim 3, since the body 3B of the inner bottle is a flexible thin body, for example, when the double container is shaken, the character represented on the inner bottle 1B swings. Since it looks as if dancing in the outer bottle 1A, the interest of the child can be further increased.
[0023]
