【発明が解決しようとする課題】
上記のように従来のこの種容器は、一般に顔を下に向けた状態で洗浄を行っている。本発明では、顔が正面を向いたままでの洗浄が可能であり、取り扱いが便利で、しかもコンパクトに形成することができる洗眼容器を提案するものである。
【０００６】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本請求項１発明の洗眼容器は上記課題を解決するため、有底筒状をなすとともに、液圧による収納液の通過が不可な噴出口６を備えた本体２と、該本体上端開口を液密に閉塞して下方に収納室Ａを画成する蓋体３を備えるとともに、該収納室Ａの容積を減少する如く押圧弾性変形させることにより噴出口６から液を噴出させる如く構成した。

【００１１】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明の実施例の形態を図面を参照して説明する。
【００１２】
図面に示す如く本発明の洗眼容器１は、眼に収納液を噴射させて洗浄するためのものであり、本体２と、蓋体３とを備えている。
【００１３】
本体２は合成樹脂等により形成されたもので、図示例の如く底壁４の周縁部より周壁５を立設した有底筒状をなすとともに、噴出口６を設けている。噴出口６は任意位置に設けることができるが、図示例にあって噴出口６は、周壁５の下部に設けた複数の透孔７から構成したもので、収納液の液圧による液の通過が不可に構成している。即ち、収納室Ａ内に液を充満した際にその液圧により各透孔７を通って収納液が漏出することがないように構成している。具体的には、収納液の粘度、収納室の容量、各透孔７の長さ等を考慮して所定の小径に形成すれば良い。噴出口６を構成する各透孔７の数は適宜選択して複数設けることができる。
【００１４】
また、本発明では図示例の如く、本体底壁４を噴出口６側に向かって傾斜させて構成しても良い。この様に構成することにより、本体２を傾けることなく収納液を効率良く噴出させることができる。
【００１５】
蓋体３も合成樹脂等により形成されたもので、上記本体２の上端開口を液密に閉塞して下方に収納室Ａを画成するとともに、該収納室Ａの容積を減少する如く弾性的に変形する如く構成している。蓋体３の具体的構成としては、例えばドーム状，山形など上方に膨出させた形態のものが好ましく採用できる。そして、例えば蓋体３の押圧弾性変形により収納室Ａ内の液面を加圧して噴出口６から液を噴出させる如く構成している。蓋体３は図示例の如くヒンジ９により本体に開閉可能に設けたものであっても、或いは周縁部を本体上端部に液密且つ着脱可能に嵌合させたものであっても良い。尚、液の噴出は本体２の押圧弾性変形によっても良い。
【００１６】
図示例に於いて蓋体３は、本体２の周壁５内周上端部に液密に嵌合させた嵌合筒８の後部上端を本体周壁５の後部上端にヒンジ９を介して回動可能に連結しており、嵌合筒８上端より外方へ延設したフランジ１０を本体周壁５上に当接載置させている。また、嵌合筒８の下端縁より内方へ本体２の上端開口を閉塞する閉塞板部１１を延設している。この閉塞板部１１は内方中心に向かって階段状に昇る山型をなしており、中心部上面を押圧することにより弾性的に変形して収納室内の容積を減少させ、ひいては収納液の液面を加圧する如く構成している。尚、図示例では、嵌合筒８の前部上端より前方へ指掛け突片１２を一体に突設している。
【００１７】
上記の如く構成した洗眼容器１を使用する場合には、まず、蓋体３を開いて液を本体２内に充填した後蓋体３を閉じ、噴出口６を窓孔１４を介して眼の前方へ位置させて閉塞板部１１上面を押し下げると収納液の液面が加圧され噴出口６より液が噴出され洗眼することができ、例えば、入浴時或いは洗面台での使用に便利である。押圧を解除すると弾性復元力により閉塞板部１１は元の状態に戻るが、その際負圧化した収納室Ａ内に噴出口６より外気が導入される。
【００１８】
また、本発明は、図３及び図４に一例を示す如き補助部材１３を備えたものであっても良い。この補助部材１３は、噴出口６を窓孔１４を介して前方に臨ませた状態で後方に上記本体２を着脱可能に嵌着した支持板１５の下方前方に、洗浄液の液溜めカップ１６を連設している。上記液溜めカップ１６は洗浄後の液を溜めておくもので、洗浄対象の眼下方の顔面に前面を当接した際に、噴出口６が眼の前方に位置し、鼻が液溜めカップ１６の側方に突出する如く構成している。
【００１９】
本実施例では、本体の周壁５前部に嵌合突部１７を突設するとともに、その突設部位に上記噴出口６を穿設している。この嵌合突部１７は本体２の嵌着方向を容易にする利点があり、図示例の如き縦長帯状のものに限らず、少なくとも噴出口６の穿設位置で噴出口６が穿設できる面積があれば良い。
【００２０】
補助部材１３は、支持板１５の中央部に上端より縦切溝状の窓孔１４を縦設し、その窓孔１４の両側縁から後方へ本体２を嵌合させるための保持筒部１８を延設している。また、支持板１５の下端縁に後部上端縁を連結した有底筒状の液溜めカップ１６を延設している。そして、嵌合突部１７を上方から嵌合させつつ、本体２を保持筒部１８に嵌合して洗眼容器１を補助部材１３に装着する。
【００２１】
本実施例の場合には図４に示す如く、上記した所定位置に補助部材１３を維持した後、蓋体３の閉塞板部１１を押圧すると同様に液が噴出口６より噴出して眼の洗浄を行え、洗浄液はその下方の液溜めカップ１６に溜められる。
【００２２】
【発明の効果】
以上説明した如く本発明の洗眼容器は、非常に簡単な構造でしかもコンパクトであるため、持ち運びに便利である上安価に製造でき、しかも前を向いたまま簡単に洗眼を行うことが出来、例えば洗面台において顔を台上に突き出して洗浄すれば洗浄液は洗面台に落下するため衣服を汚す等のおそれがなく、簡単に使用できる便利がある。
【００２３】
また、請求項２発明の容器では、同様に前を向いたまま簡単に洗眼を行うことができるとともに、補助部材の存在により洗浄液が収納されるため、どこの場所に於いても洗眼できる利点を兼ね備えている。
【００２４】
また、請求項３発明の容器では、補助部材に洗眼容器を装着する際にその噴出口の方向が簡単にわかり、装着が極めて容易となる利点を兼ね備える。
【００２５】
また、請求項４発明の容器では、洗眼容器或いは洗眼容器と補助部材とを傾けるなどしなくても、収納液を効率よく噴出することができる利点がある。
【００２６】
また、請求項５発明の容器では、本体と蓋体とを合成樹脂により一体に形成することができる利点があり、また、閉塞板部は押し易く、収納液の液面加圧がより行い易い利点がある。
