Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve a problem that a cartridge case not used after padding is replaced becomes a plaything of a child and a child full of curiosity can put the plaything or the like other than food into the mouth, the cartridge case is not an exception, i.e., a child can choke on a cap removed from the case when the child put the cap into the mouth although the cartridge case itself does not cause a very serious trouble even if the child put the case itself into the mouth. <P>SOLUTION: In a storage vessel of an ink holding member, the cartridge case of the ink holding member is constituted of a tube body and the cap, while a through hole making the outside of the cap communicate with the inside is formed in the cap, and the cartridge case is sealed up with a bag body. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI

Description

  The present invention relates to a storage container for an ink storage member.

In recent years, with the reduction of waste and recycling activities, replacement batting made of fiber bundles has been sold, and the replacement batting is housed in a cylindrical cartridge case.
The cartridge case is composed of a cylinder whose one end is open and a cap which is detachably fitted into the opening of the cylinder. More specifically, the cap covers the end of the replacement batting, and the outer peripheral surface on the opening side of the cap fits over the annular protrusion in the cylindrical body so as to maintain airtightness. A protrusion and an annular protrusion that is hooked over the plurality of hooking protrusions in the cylinder are formed.

  By the way, the cartridge case has become one of children's play tools because it is not used after the batting is replaced. And a child with great curiosity tends to put play tools in addition to food and drink, and the cartridge case is no exception. Here, it is not a problem when the cartridge case is put in the mouth, but if the cap is removed and the cap is put in the mouth, there is a risk of clogging a respiratory organ such as the throat.

  According to the present invention, the cartridge case of the ink containing member is composed of a cylindrical body and a cap, and the cap is formed with a through-hole communicating with the outside and the inside, and the cartridge case is sealed with a bag. The gist.

  According to the present invention, a cartridge case of an ink containing member is constituted by a cylindrical body and a cap, a through-hole communicating with the outside and the inside is formed in the cap, and the cartridge case is sealed with a bag. Therefore, even if the cap is clogged in the throat, a certain amount of air can be circulated and death from suffocation until treatment can be prevented as much as possible.

This will be described with reference to FIGS. The cartridge case A includes a cylindrical body 1 and a cap 2 that is detachably fitted to the cylindrical body 1. The cylindrical body 1 has an opening at the top, but also has an opening 1a at the bottom. However, the diameter of the lower opening 1a is smaller than the outer diameter of the ink containing member 3 described later. Specifically, it has a hemispherical shape that gradually decreases in diameter, and an opening 1a is formed at the lower end thereof. That is, the ink containing member 3 is in a slightly press-fitted state in the vicinity of the inner side of the opening 1a, and the stability with respect to the cylindrical body 1 when accommodated is achieved. In addition, the opening 1a can ensure air circulation, but after the ink containing member 3 is stored in the cylinder 1 and then the cap 2 is attached, a syringe or the like is inserted from the opening 1a. The ink containing member 3 may be filled with ink. Since it is covered with the hard cylindrical body 1, it is possible to easily fill the ink without crushing the ink containing member 3 and without soiling the hands.
The overall length of the cylinder 1 is shorter than the overall length of the ink containing member 3, and the top of the ink containing member 3 is exposed from the opening of the cylindrical body 1 when stored. When the ink containing member 3 is replaced, the ink containing member 3 can be easily extracted from the cylinder 1.
The cylindrical body 1 is made of a resin material such as polypropylene or polyethylene terephthalate, but may be an aluminum can or the like, but is made of a relatively hard material so that the ink storage member 3 to be stored is not crushed. Preferably formed.

On the other hand, on the top surface of the cap 2, four fan-shaped through holes 4 that communicate with the outside and the inside are formed radially. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and one, three, five, Although the number may be six, it is preferable that the through hole is smaller than the outer diameter of the ink containing member 3. The main purpose of the through hole 4 is to ensure the air flow. However, after the ink containing member 3 is accommodated in the cylinder 1 and then the cap 2 is attached, A syringe or the like may be inserted to fill the ink containing member 3 with ink. Since it is covered with the hard cylindrical body 1, it is possible to easily fill the ink without crushing the ink containing member 3 and without soiling the hands. Further, when the cap 2 is fitted to the cylindrical body 1, the compressed air generated during the fitting escapes from the through hole 4, so that the cap 2 can be easily inserted into the cylindrical body 1.
The cap 2 basically has a cylindrical shape, but has flat portions 5 formed radially at four locations downward from the top surface of the outer peripheral portion. Although the cap 2 and the cylinder 1 have a loose fitting force, the cap 2 can be easily removed from the cylinder by pinching the flat portion 5 with a finger or the like and rotating it relative to the cylinder 1. It is possible to do.

Next, the ink containing member 3 will be described. The ink containing member 3 is composed of a fiber bundle body on which a capillary force acts and a synthetic resin film member wound around the outer circumference of the fiber bundle body. The film member is formed of a very thin resin material such as polypropylene or polyethylene, but it is not always necessary, but it is preferably used to improve the focusing property of the fiber focusing body. That is, when the ink containing member 3 is replaced, it can be easily replaced without being separated.
In addition to the fiber bundling body, an ink containing member composed of a sponge or a large number of plate-like members may be used. However, a fiber bundling body is preferable from the viewpoint of retainability with respect to the ink containing portion.

The cartridge case A containing the ink containing member 3 is sealed by a bag body 6 having little gas permeability. The material of the bag body 6 is a resin material such as fluororesin or polybutylene terephthalate, a metal material such as aluminum or stainless steel, a laminate of the resin material and the metal material, or a polypropylene which is the resin material. For example, the surface of the surface of which aluminum is vapor-deposited, or the one in which an aluminum sheet is interposed between polypropylene and polyethylene terephthalate can be exemplified. In addition, discoloration of ink can be prevented by using a material having low UV transmission.
In addition, the bag body 6 in this example constitutes a sealed bag body by stacking two sheet-like objects and thermally welding each side thereof, but it may be adhered with an adhesive or the like, Furthermore, the cartridge case may be inserted into a bag-like object in advance and the insertion port may be sealed.
