Description

  The present invention relates to a two-component mixing container for separately encapsulating each liquid of a two-component material composed of two kinds of liquids in the container and mixing and storing the two components in the container immediately before use. It is.

  In general, as two-component materials composed of two kinds of liquids, for example, dental materials such as dental adhesives and dental primers, and medical and industrial drugs are widely known. A two-component material composed of two kinds of liquids is usually used after being mixed at a predetermined mixing ratio immediately before use.

  In the past, two-component materials composed of two types of liquids were generally marketed in a state where the two components were stored in separate containers. When mixing a two-component material composed of the liquid immediately before use, for example, in a separately prepared mixing container etc. while measuring the liquid contained in each container so as to have a predetermined mixing ratio After injection, the two liquids injected into the mixing container etc. had to be mixed and stirred with a separately prepared stir bar etc. Not only is the operation very troublesome because a mixing container must be prepared, or stirring must be performed with a stirring rod, etc., but the mixing ratio of the two liquids may be wrong or liquid may be injected during injection. Spilled Liquid by or worse there is a problem that is wasted.

  Therefore, in order to cope with such a problem, the two liquids composed of two kinds of liquids are separately stored in the container, and the two liquids are mixed in the container immediately before use. Mixing containers have been developed, and such a two-component mixing container is composed of, for example, two chambers A and B which are divided by a slidable partition wall and separate chemicals are stored in each of them. When using the drug, the partition between AB is slid by the pressure applied from the outside of the container and the seal between the two chambers is released, and the two liquids (or liquid.solid) Are mixed (or dissolved), and the mixed solution is dropped into a hole provided at the tip of the container as it is (see Patent Document 1, for example), a bottle, and a bottle mouth portion. Second liquid storage container with a removable bottom plate A pouring member comprising a pouring head comprising a pouring tube, a bottom plate removing member provided continuously with the lower end of the pouring tube, a deformable dome wall, and a fitting tube portion; and covering the pouring member There is a container (see, for example, Patent Document 2) characterized by including a cover cap.

  However, such a two-component mixing container is capable of separately storing two liquid components composed of two types of liquids in the container and mixing the two components in the container immediately before use. The former has a structure in which liquids are separately stored in two chambers divided by a slidable partition wall, and the latter is attached to the bottle containing the first liquid and the mouth of the bottle. Since it is composed of a container containing a second liquid having a removable bottom plate, as a result, both of them remove a partition or the like provided between both parts where the two liquids are separately stored. Therefore, when mixing the two liquids in the container just before use, the two parts can be stored in both parts by simply removing the partition walls etc. The two liquids completely Therefore, after performing this communication operation, it is necessary to perform further operations such as pressing one part where the liquid is stored or shaking the container itself. Not only is it cumbersome, but if this pressing and shaking operation is insufficient, the two liquids may be used in an incompletely mixed state. Since the two liquids are mixed at the part, if the liquids remain in the other part when mixing the two liquids, the two liquids cannot be mixed at a predetermined mixing ratio. There was also a drawback.

  The present invention eliminates the drawbacks of the prior art, encloses each liquid of a two-component material composed of two types of liquids separately in a container, and mixes and stores the two liquids in the container immediately before use. An object of the present invention is to provide a two-liquid mixing container for obtaining a mixed liquid in an appropriate mixed state immediately by a particularly simple operation.

  As a result of diligent research to solve the above problems, the inventors have made a pair of plungers having a pressing part at one end and a protruding part at the other end, a liquid sealing part, a discharging part, this liquid sealing part, and this discharging part. A pair of liquid cups formed between a discharge passage and a partition wall portion that is broken by a protruding portion of the plunger, and one plunger in which one plunger is fitted and sealed with the first liquid. Both liquid cups in which the liquid cup is inserted from the discharge portion side and the other plunger is inserted in the other side and the other liquid cup in which the second liquid is sealed are inserted and inserted from the discharge portion side A liquid cup insertion cylinder in which a both liquid mixing chamber forming a space communicating with the upper opening is formed between the two liquid mixing chambers of the liquid cup insertion cylinder. And a main body composed of a mixed liquid storage cylinder communicating with the section. If the mixing container is configured, each plunger that protrudes on both sides of the liquid cup insertion tube of the main body is pressed toward the main body at the same time, and the partition of each liquid cup is separated by the protruding portion of each plunger. The first and second liquids enclosed in the liquid cups flow into the two-liquid mixing chamber of the main body liquid cup insertion tube at the same time. The present invention was completed by investigating that it is possible to obtain a liquid mixture in an appropriate mixed state immediately because it is mixed immediately.

That is, the present invention comprises a pair of plungers having a cylindrical shape, a pressing portion formed at one end and a protruding portion protruding at the other end,
A cylindrical shape is formed, and the plunger is inserted from the protruding portion side toward the other end side from the opening located at one end, and the liquid is sealed in the space formed by the protruding portion side of the inserted plunger. A liquid sealing part, a discharge part having a discharge path formed on the other end side of the liquid sealing part with a diameter smaller than the inner diameter of the liquid sealing part, the liquid sealing part, and a discharge path of the discharge part, A pair of liquid cups comprising a partition wall portion which is formed thin except for a part between and is broken by a protruding portion of the plunger,
A first liquid cup having a cylindrical shape, in which one of the plungers is fitted on one side and the one liquid cup in a state where the first liquid is sealed in the liquid sealing part is inserted from the discharge part side The first liquid cup connection part into which the discharge part of the one liquid cup is inserted into the insertion part and the other end side of the first liquid cup insertion part, and the other plunger is inserted into the other side. A second liquid cup fitting portion into which the other liquid cup in a state in which the second liquid is sealed in the liquid filling portion is inserted from the discharge portion side, and one end side of the second liquid cup insertion portion to the other liquid cup A two-liquid mixing chamber that forms a space communicating with the second liquid cup connection part into which the discharge part is inserted and between the two liquid cup connection parts communicates with an opening formed in the upper part is formed. A liquid cup insertion cylinder is formed in a cylindrical shape and protrudes above the liquid mixing chamber of the liquid cup insertion cylinder. A body comprising a mixed liquid storage cylinder in communication with the opening of the two liquid mixing chamber,
It is comprised from these. The two-component mixing container characterized by the above-mentioned.

  The two liquid mixing chambers of the liquid cup insertion cylinder of the main body communicate with a connecting cylindrical portion where the two liquid cup connecting portions are connected to each other and an opening portion which is connected to the upper side of the connecting cylindrical portion and drilled upward. Since the shape of the two-liquid mixing chamber is simple if it is formed of a T-shaped tube composed of an upper cylindrical portion, the two-liquid mixing chamber exists in the lower part of the liquid cup insertion cylinder. It is possible to completely prevent the two liquids in the two-liquid mixing chamber from being wasted without being able to use the mixed liquid that has entered the back of the two-liquid mixing chamber due to the shape. It was also found that this is preferable.

  Moreover, it is detachable from the upper end of the liquid mixture storage cylinder of the main body, and when the first liquid and the second liquid flow into the liquid mixture chamber, the air discharge for discharging the air in the liquid mixture storage cylinder to the outside If a cap provided with a path is further provided, it is possible to prevent the liquid mixture mixed in the liquid mixture chamber of the main body from passing through the liquid mixture storage cylinder and blowing out to the outside. In addition, when storing the mixed solution for a while after use, the mixed solution stored in the mixed solution storage cylinder or both liquid mixing chambers is prevented from leaking outward even if the main body is tilted. It was also found that it is preferable because it can be done.

  Furthermore, if it is further provided with a microchip having a cotton ball attached to one end of a rod-shaped portion that reaches the both liquid mixing chamber of the liquid cup insertion cylinder of the main body when inserted into the mixed liquid storage cylinder of the main body, The microchip is inserted into the mixed liquid storage cylinder of the main body where the liquid is stored or the liquid mixture chamber of the main body liquid cup insertion cylinder, and this mixed liquid is sucked into the cotton ball attached to the microchip to the use site. It has also been found that it is preferable because it can be applied easily and the workability of applying the mixed solution is improved.

  Since the two-liquid mixing container according to the present invention has the above-described configuration, it is a simple operation of simultaneously pressing the plungers projecting on both sides of the liquid cup insertion cylinder of the main body toward the main body side, The partition part of each liquid cup is broken by the protruding part of each plunger, and the first liquid and the second liquid sealed in the liquid sealing part of each liquid cup are mixed at the same time in the liquid cup fitting cylinder of the main body. By flowing into the chamber, the two liquids are immediately mixed in the two-liquid mixing chamber, so that not only can the liquid mixture in an appropriate mixed state be obtained immediately, but the liquid can be stored like a conventional two-liquid mixing container. The two liquids can be easily mixed and obtained in a simple manner without any operation of pressing one of the parts or shaking the container itself.

  In addition, the first liquid and the second liquid sealed in the liquid sealing part of each liquid cup press the pressing part of the plunger so that the first liquid and the second liquid are in the liquid sealing part of each liquid cup. Without any residual liquid, it flows into the two-liquid mixing chamber of the liquid cup insertion cylinder of the main body at once, so when mixing two liquids like a conventional two-liquid mixing container, Therefore, it is possible to completely prevent the liquid mixture of the two liquids from becoming a poor liquid mixture without the mixing ratio of the two liquids becoming a predetermined mixing ratio.

  Furthermore, since the plunger is fitted on both sides of the liquid cup insertion cylinder of the main body and the liquid cup in a state where the liquid is sealed in the liquid sealing portion is inserted from the discharge portion side, the main body By simply pressing each plunger toward the main body from the state where the pressing parts of each plunger protruding on both sides of the liquid cup insertion tube are gripped with the thumb and index finger etc., the two liquids can be easily removed with one hand. Since the mixing operation can be performed, the operability is very good, and other work can be performed with the other hand that is vacant, so that the work efficiency is remarkably improved.

  The two liquid mixing chambers of the liquid cup insertion cylinder of the main body communicate with a connecting cylindrical portion where the two liquid cup connecting portions are connected to each other and an opening portion which is connected to the upper side of the connecting cylindrical portion and drilled upward. Since the shape of the two-liquid mixing chamber is simple if it is formed by a T-shaped tube composed of a connecting cylindrical portion, the two-liquid mixing chamber exists in the lower part of the liquid cup insertion cylinder. It is possible to completely prevent the liquid mixture in the liquid mixture chamber from being wasted without being able to use the liquid mixture that has entered the back of the liquid mixture chamber due to the shape. Not only is it preferable, but also the two liquid cup connection parts are connected by the connecting cylindrical part, so the first liquid and the second liquid discharged vigorously from the discharge path of the discharge part of each liquid cup are The upper cylindrical shape that immediately collides and joins in the connected cylindrical portion. Since going to flow into the inner, is the preferred mixing efficiency is remarkably improved.

  Moreover, it is detachable from the upper end of the liquid mixture storage cylinder of the main body, and when the first liquid and the second liquid flow into the liquid mixture chamber, the air discharge for discharging the air in the liquid mixture storage cylinder to the outside If a cap provided with a path is further provided, it is possible to prevent the liquid mixture mixed in the liquid mixture chamber of the main body from passing through the liquid mixture storage cylinder and blowing out to the outside. In addition, when storing the mixed solution for a while after use, the mixed solution stored in the mixed solution storage cylinder or both liquid mixing chambers is prevented from leaking outward even if the main body is tilted. Since this cap is provided with an air discharge path, the first liquid and the second liquid flow into the two-liquid mixing chamber all at once, so that the two-liquid mixing chamber and the mixed liquid The internal pressure in the storage cylinder rises at once, and the liquid mixture storage cylinder of the main body Is Preferred to be able to completely prevent the upper end mounted cap will fly off.

  Furthermore, if it is further provided with a microchip having a cotton ball attached to one end of a rod-shaped portion that reaches the both liquid mixing chamber of the liquid cup insertion cylinder of the main body when inserted into the mixed liquid storage cylinder of the main body, The microchip is inserted into the mixed liquid storage cylinder of the main body where the liquid is stored or the liquid mixture chamber of the main body liquid cup insertion cylinder, and this mixed liquid is sucked into the cotton ball attached to the microchip to the use site. Since it can be applied easily, not only is the workability of applying the mixed solution improved, but it is preferable, especially when the mixed solution is a dental two-component adhesive, and the microchip is applied to the cavity of a tooth, etc. It is preferable to make the shape easy to apply.

Hereinafter, the two-component mixing container according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a front sectional explanatory view showing a state before use in which a first liquid and a second liquid are sealed in one embodiment of a two-liquid mixing container according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a two-liquid mixing container shown in FIG. When the respective plungers are pressed, the partition portions of the respective liquid cups are broken, and the first liquid and the second liquid start to flow into the both liquid mixing chambers of the liquid cup fitting cylinder of the main body. FIG. 3 is a front cross-sectional explanatory view, and FIG. 3 shows that the first liquid and the second liquid sealed in the liquid sealing part of each liquid cup are further all pressed by pressing each plunger in the two-liquid mixing container shown in FIG. FIG. 4 is a front cross-sectional explanatory view showing a state in which the mixed liquid flowing into the both liquid mixing chamber of the liquid cup insertion cylinder and completely mixed is stored in the both liquid mixing chamber and the mixed liquid storage cylinder. Front cross-sectional explanatory view showing each member constituting the liquid mixing container, FIG. 5 is a state shown in FIG. FIG. 6 is a perspective cross-sectional explanatory view showing a state in which the cap is removed and the microchip is inserted into the two-liquid mixing chamber of the liquid cup insertion cylinder of the main body, FIG. 6 is a two-liquid mixing container shown in FIG. It is a partial expanded front cross-sectional explanatory drawing which shows the flow of the air in the air exhaust path of the cap with which the liquid mixture storage cylinder of the main body was mounted | worn.

  In the drawings, reference numerals 1 and 1 denote a pair of plungers having a cylindrical shape, a pressing portion 1a formed at one end and a protruding portion 1b protruding from the other end. A space for enclosing the liquid is formed in the liquid sealing portion 2a of the liquid cup 2 to be described later on the protruding portion 1b side by being fitted from the positioned opening portion 2aa from the protruding portion 1b side, and the pressing portion 1a Is pressed and slid toward the other end of the liquid cup 2 described later, the partition portion 2c of the liquid cup 2 described later is broken by the protruding portion 1b, and then the liquid cup 2 described later on the protruding portion 1b side. The liquid encapsulated in the liquid encapsulating part 2a serves to flow into the two-liquid mixing chamber 3ae of the liquid cup fitting cylinder 3a of the main body 3 to be described later.

  The plunger 1 has a cylindrical shape as shown in FIGS. 1 to 5 and is fitted from an opening 2aa located at one end of a liquid cup 2 described later, and can slide in the liquid cup 2 described later toward the other end. A pressing portion 1a for pressing with a finger or the like is formed at one end, and a liquid sealing portion 2a of a liquid cup 2 (to be described later) and a discharge from the discharge portion 2b are formed at the other end. A protruding portion 1b is provided between the passage 2ba and a portion 2b for breaking the partition wall portion 2c which is thin except for a part of the periphery.

  The plunger 1 may have a completely solid cylindrical shape, but may have a space formed from the pressing portion 1a toward the protruding portion 1b as shown in FIGS. For example, the material for forming the plunger 1 can be saved and the plunger 1 itself can be reduced in weight, and the shape of the protruding portion 1b side of the plunger 1 is a liquid to be inserted as will be described later as shown in FIGS. If the shape matches the inner surface of the other end side of the liquid sealing part 2a of the cup 2, the pressing part 1a of the plunger 1 fitted into the liquid sealing part 2a of the liquid cup 2 described later is further on the other end side. Since no space is generated between the protruding portion 1b side of the plunger 1 and the inner surface of the other end side of the liquid sealing portion 2a of the liquid cup 2 described later when pressed to a state where it cannot slide, this will be described later. In the liquid enclosures 2a and 2a of the liquid cups 2 and 2 Since the first liquid X and the second liquid Y thus encapsulated all flow into the both liquid mixing chamber 3ae of the liquid cup fitting cylinder 3a of the main body 3 described later, the liquid remains in the liquid sealing part 2a of the liquid cup 2. This is preferable because it is not wasted.

  2 and 2 are formed in a cylindrical shape, and the plunger 1 protrudes from the opening 2aa located at one end toward the other end, and is formed from the protruding portion 1b side and the protruding portion 1b side of the inserted plunger 1. A liquid sealing part 2a in which a liquid is sealed in a space, and a discharge part 2b having a discharge path 2ba formed on the other end side of the liquid sealing part 2a with a diameter smaller than the inner diameter of the liquid sealing part 2a, A pair of liquid cups comprising a partition wall portion 2c formed between the liquid sealing portion 2a and the discharge passage 2ba of the discharge portion 2b except for a part thereof and being thinned and being broken by the protruding portion 1b of the plunger 1. Yes, the plunger 1 is inserted from the opening 2aa toward the other end of the liquid sealing part 2a so that the liquid is sealed in the liquid sealing part 2a, and on both sides of the liquid cup fitting cylinder 3a of the main body 3 described later. Each is inserted and the pressing portions 1a and 1a of the plungers 1 and 1 are pressed. The partition portions 2c and 2c are broken by the protruding portions 1b and 1b of the plungers 1 and 1, and the first liquid X and the second liquid Y sealed in the liquid sealing portions 2a and 2a are discharged. It plays the role which it discharges from the discharge paths 2ba and 2ba of the parts 2b and 2b and flows into the liquid mixture chamber 3ae of the liquid cup insertion cylinder 3a of the main body 3 which will be described later.

  The liquid cup 2 is formed in a cylindrical shape as shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, and is inserted into each insertion portion 3aa of a liquid cup insertion tube 3a of the main body 3 to be described later from the opening 2aa located at one end toward the other end. The liquid cup connection 2a is formed in a shape that can be fitted into the 3ac and into which the plunger 1 is fitted, and the liquid cup connection of the liquid cup fitting cylinder 3a of the main body 3 to be described later on the other end of the liquid fill part 2a. A discharge portion 2b having a discharge path 2ba that is formed in a shape that can be fitted into the portions 3ab and 3ad and whose diameter is smaller than the inner diameter of the liquid sealing portion 2a, and the liquid sealing portion 2a and the discharge portion A portion between the discharge path 2ba of the portion 2b and a partition wall portion 2c which is formed thin except for a part thereof and is broken by the protruding portion 1b of the plunger 1.

  Since the partition wall 2c of the liquid cup 2 is formed to be thin except for a part of the periphery, the pressing portion 1a of the plunger 1 fitted into the liquid sealing portion 2a of the liquid cup 2 is pressed and the plunger 1 is When the liquid sealing part 2a is slid toward the other end side, as shown in FIG. 2, the protruding part 1b of the plunger 1 leaves a part that is not formed in the surrounding thin part. Since only the formed part is broken and the liquid sealing part 2a and the discharge path 2ba of the discharge part 2b communicate with each other, the partition part 2c of the liquid cup 2 is detached and the liquid of the main body 3 described later as a foreign substance. There is no possibility of mixing in the both liquid mixing chamber 3ae of the cup insertion cylinder 3a or the mixed liquid storage cylinder 3b.

  The pair of liquid cups 2 and 2 may be formed in the same size and shape as shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, but each of the pair of liquid cups 2 and 2 is enclosed, although not shown. Different sizes and shapes may be formed according to the properties and mixing ratios of the liquids. In this case, the plunger 1 and the liquid cup of the main body 3 to be described later are fitted to the liquid cups 2 and 2, respectively. The cylinder 3a may be formed.

  3 has a cylindrical shape, and one plunger 1 is fitted on one side, and one liquid cup 2 in a state where the first liquid X is sealed in the liquid sealing part 2a is inserted from the discharge part 2b side. The first liquid cup insertion part 3aa and the first liquid cup connection part 3ab into which the discharge part 2b of one liquid cup 2 is inserted into the other end of the first liquid cup insertion part 3aa The second liquid cup insertion portion 3ac in which the other liquid cup 2 in a state where the other plunger 1 is inserted and the second liquid Y is sealed in the liquid sealing portion 2a is inserted from the discharge portion 2b side and the second liquid. A second liquid cup connection portion 3ad into which the discharge portion 2b of the other liquid cup 2 is inserted is provided at one end side of the cup insertion portion 3ac, and an upper portion is formed between the liquid cup connection portions 3ab and 3ad. A liquid cup insertion cylinder 3a in which a both liquid mixing chamber 3ae forming a space communicating with the opening 3aea is formed, and a cylindrical shape. Have projecting above the two liquids mixing chamber 3ae the flop fitting cylinder 3a is a body composed of a mixed liquid storage cylinder 3b in communication with the opening 3aea of both liquid mixing chamber 3ae.

  The main body 3 has a pair of liquid cups 2 and 2 in a state where the plunger 1 is fitted and liquid is sealed in the liquid sealing portion 2a, respectively, and the discharge portions 2b and 2b of the liquid cups 2 and 2 are the main body 3 respectively. The liquid cup insertion cylinder 3a is inserted into the liquid cup connection parts 3ab and 3ad, and is inserted into the insertion parts 3aa and 3ac of the liquid cup insertion cylinder 3a and the pressing parts 1a of the plungers 1 and 1, respectively. , 1a is pressed, and the first liquid X and the second liquid Y sealed in the liquid sealing portions 2a, 2a of the liquid cups 2, 2 are respectively discharged from the discharge portions 2b, 2b of the liquid cups 2, 2 at once. By flowing into the two-liquid mixing chamber 3ae of the liquid cup insertion cylinder 3a, the first liquid X and the second liquid Y are immediately mixed in a proper mixing state in the two-liquid mixing chamber 3ae, and proper mixing is performed. The mixed liquid Z in the state is mixed in the liquid mixing chamber 3ae of the liquid cup insertion cylinder 3a and mixed. It serves to retained in the retention tube 3b.

  The liquid cup insertion cylinder 3a of the main body 3 is formed in a cylindrical shape as shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, and the first of the shape in which the liquid sealing portion 2a of one liquid cup 2 can be fitted on one side thereof. A liquid cup insertion part 3aa and a first liquid cup connection part 3ab shaped to fit the discharge part 2b of one liquid cup 2 are formed on the other end side of the first liquid cup insertion part 3aa, and the other The second liquid cup fitting portion 3ac is shaped so that the liquid sealing portion 2a of the other liquid cup 2 can be fitted on the side of the second liquid cup 2, and the discharge portion 2b of the other liquid cup 2 is disposed on one end side of the second liquid cup fitting portion 3ac. Is formed with a second liquid cup connection portion 3ad that can be inserted into the two liquid cup connection portions 3ab, 3ad, and the two liquid mixing that forms a space communicating with the opening 3aea drilled upward Chamber 3ae is formed.

  The liquid mixing chamber 3ae of the liquid cup insertion cylinder 3a of the main body 3 may be configured to form a space communicating with the opening 3aea formed at least between the liquid cup connecting portions 3ab and 3ad. For example, although not shown, the liquid cup insertion tube 3a may be formed in a complicated shape in which the both liquid mixing chamber 3ae exists down to the inside of the liquid cup insertion cylinder 3a. The two-liquid mixing chamber 3ae of the cylinder 3a is connected to a connecting cylindrical part 3aeb in which the two-liquid cup connecting parts 3ab and 3ad are connected to each other, and an opening 3aea connected to the upper side of the connecting cylindrical part 3aeb and drilled upward. If it is formed of a T-shaped tube composed of the upper cylindrical portion 3aec communicating with each other, the two-liquid mixing chamber 3ae has a complicated shape as described above, so that it enters the back of the two-liquid mixing chamber 3ae. The mixed solution Z in the two-component mixing chamber 3ae is wasted because the mixed solution Z cannot be used. This is not only preferable, but also because both the liquid cup connecting portions 3ab and 3ad are connected by the connecting cylindrical portion 3aeb, so that the discharge portions 2b and 2b of the respective liquid cups 2 and 2 are connected. The first liquid X and the second liquid Y discharged vigorously from the discharge passages 2ba and 2ba immediately collide and merge into the upper cylindrical portion 3aec connected upward in the connecting cylindrical portion 3aeb. Therefore, the mixing efficiency is remarkably improved, which is preferable.

  The two liquid mixing chamber 3ae of the liquid cup insertion cylinder 3a of the main body 3 has a cylindrical shape as shown in FIGS. 1 to 5 and communicates with the opening 3aea of the two liquid mixing chamber 3ae. As shown in FIG. 3, the mixed liquid storage cylinder 3b is formed in the two liquid mixing chamber 3ae of the liquid cup insertion cylinder 3a and then drilled above the two liquid mixing chamber 3ea. The mixed solution Z flowing in from the opening 3aea is stored, and a cap 4 (described later) attached to the upper end of the mixed solution Z is removed as shown in FIG. When a tool such as a brush or a spatula prepared separately is inserted, the mixed liquid Z stored therein is supplied.

  4 is detachably attached to the upper end of the liquid mixture storage cylinder 3b of the main body 3, and when the first liquid X and the second liquid Y flow into the liquid mixture chamber 3ae, the air in the liquid mixture storage cylinder 3b is discharged outward. If the cap 4 is further provided, the first liquid X and the second liquid Y are mixed with the two-liquid mixing chamber 3ae of the liquid cup insertion cylinder 3a. It is preferable that the mixed solution Z mixed in the two-liquid mixing chamber 3ae can be prevented from passing through the mixed solution storage cylinder 3b and blowing out to the outside by flowing in at once. At the same time, when the mixed solution Z is stored for a while after use, the mixed solution Z stored in the mixed solution storage cylinder 3b or the both mixed solution chamber 3ae leaks outward even if the main body 3 is tilted. It is preferable because it can be prevented.

  In this way, the air discharge path 4a for discharging the air in the mixed liquid storage cylinder 3b to the cap 4 when the first liquid X and the second liquid Y flow into the both liquid mixing chamber 3ae. Although not shown, the air discharge path 4a may be a small hole formed in the cap 4, but as shown in FIG. 6, the outer surface of the cap 4 and the mixed liquid storage cylinder A groove formed between the inner surface of 3b is preferable because air in the mixed liquid storage cylinder 3b can be reliably discharged outward.

  Reference numeral 5 denotes a microchip in which a cotton ball 5a is attached to one end of a rod-like portion reaching the both liquid mixing chamber 3ae of the liquid cup insertion cylinder 3a of the main body 3 when inserted into the mixed liquid storage cylinder 3b of the main body 3. If this microchip 5 is further provided, as shown in FIG. 5, the liquid mixture Z is stored in the liquid mixture storage cylinder 3 b of the main body 3 or in the liquid mixture chamber 3 ae of the liquid cup insertion cylinder 3 a of the main body 3. Since the mixed solution Z can be sucked into the cotton ball 5a attached to one end of the rod-shaped portion and can be easily applied to the use site, the workability of applying the mixed solution Z is improved, which is preferable. In particular, when the mixed solution Z is a dental two-component adhesive, it is preferable that the microchip 5 has a shape that can be easily applied to a tooth cavity or the like.

Next, a method for using the two-component mixing container according to the present invention having such a configuration will be described.
First, as a preparation, the first liquid X and the second liquid Y are sealed in the two-liquid mixing container according to the present invention, and the first liquid X and the second liquid Y are mixed, and the operation is performed. Specifically, since the two-component mixing container according to the present invention is provided to the user in a state in which the first solution X and the second solution Y are sealed, the user hardly performs this operation himself. There is no.

  This operation is performed in the present invention in a state before the pair of liquid cups 2 and 2 and the pair of plungers 1 and 1 are fitted into the main body 3 and before the cap 4 is mounted as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 1, the two-liquid mixing container is filled with the first liquid X and the second liquid Y in the two-liquid mixing container according to the present invention so that the first liquid X and the second liquid Y can be mixed. Specifically, for example, one liquid cup in a state where one plunger 1 is fitted on one side of the liquid cup fitting cylinder 3a of the main body 3 and the first liquid X is sealed in the liquid sealing portion 2a. 2 is inserted from the discharge part 2b side so that the liquid filling part 2a of one liquid cup 2 is connected to the first liquid cup fitting part 3aa on one side of the liquid cup fitting cylinder 3a of the main body 3. While making the discharge part 2b of one liquid cup 2 each fit in the connection part 3ab, The other liquid cup 2 in a state where the other plunger 1 is inserted into the other side of the liquid cup insertion cylinder 3a of the body 3 and the second liquid Y is sealed in the liquid sealing portion 2a is inserted from the discharge portion 2b side. By doing so, the second liquid cup insertion portion 3ac on the other side of the liquid cup insertion tube 3a of the main body 3 is connected to the liquid sealing portion 2a of the other liquid cup 2 and the second liquid cup connection portion 3ad is connected to the other liquid cup 2. In the case of a mode in which the discharge portions 2b are respectively fitted and the cap 4 is further provided, the cap 4 is further attached to the upper end of the mixed liquid storage cylinder 3b of the main body 3. .

  At this time, as described above, the plungers 1 and 1 are respectively inserted, and the liquid cups 2 and 2 in which the liquids are sealed in the liquid sealing portions 2a and 2a are inserted into the main body 3, respectively. On the other hand, the respective liquid cups 2 and 2 are inserted into the main body 3, and the respective liquids are injected into the liquid sealing portions 2a and 2a of the respective liquid cups 2 and 2, and the plungers 1 are respectively provided. , 1 may be inserted and can be appropriately selected according to the characteristics of the liquid to be sealed, the production line, and the like.

  After such preparation is completed, the pressing portions 1a and 1a of the plungers 1 and 1 inserted with the pressing portions 1a and 1a projecting on both sides of the liquid cup insertion tube 3a of the main body 3 are connected to the main body 3 side. The first liquid X and the second liquid Y that are sealed in the liquid sealing portions 2a and 2a of the liquid cups 2 and 2 are mixed together by pressing simultaneously.

  In this operation, first, the mixed liquid storage cylinder 3b of the main body 3 is inserted so that the pressing portions 1a and 1a protrude from both sides of the liquid cup insertion cylinder 3a of the main body 3 so that the upper end faces upward. By holding the pressing portions 1a and 1a of the plungers 1 and 1 with one hand with the thumb and the index finger, and then applying a pressing force in a direction that narrows the distance between the thumb and the index finger, This is performed by simultaneously pressing the pressing portions 1a and 1a toward the main body 3 and sliding the plungers 1 and 1 to a position where the plungers 1 and 1 can no longer slide. .

  At this time, the plungers 1 and 1 are slid toward the main body 3 from the initial position as shown in FIG. 1, so that the plungers 1 and 1 are first protruded as shown in FIG. , 1b breaks the partition walls 2c, 2c of the liquid cups 2, 2 with the surrounding portions not formed thin, and then further slides the plungers 1, 1 as shown in FIG. When sliding to a position where it cannot be performed, the first liquid X and the second liquid Y sealed in the liquid sealing portions 2a and 2a of the liquid cups 2 and 2 are discharged from the discharge portions 2b of the liquid cups 2 and 2, respectively. , 2b passes through the discharge passages 2ba and 2ba, flows into the liquid mixture chamber 3ae of the liquid cup insertion cylinder 3a of the main body 3, is mixed, and the mixed liquid Z mixed in the liquid mixture chamber 3ae is The liquid is stored in the liquid mixture storage cylinder 3b of the main body 3 and in the liquid mixture chamber 3ae.

  Here, as described above, by applying a pressing force in a direction that narrows the distance between the thumb and the index finger, the plungers 1 and 1 are slid to a position where they can no longer slide. The first liquid X and the second liquid Y are simultaneously pushed out simultaneously by the protruding portions 1b of the plungers 1 and 1, and the discharge path 2ba of the discharge portion 2b of the liquid cup 2 is formed smaller than the inner diameter of the liquid sealing portion 2a. Therefore, when the first liquid X and the second liquid Y flow into the both liquid mixing chamber 3ae of the liquid cup insertion cylinder 3a of the main body 3, they flow at a very fast flow rate respectively. Since X and the second liquid Y are mixed in a state where they collide violently in the two-liquid mixing chamber 3ae, one part containing the liquid like a conventional two-component mixing container is pressed, or the container itself Without any operation of shaking It is possible to obtain a mixture Z proper mixed state to Chi.

  Moreover, in the case of the aspect further equipped with the cap 4, the cap 4 attached to the upper end of the mixed liquid storage cylinder 3b of the main body 3 has the first liquid X and the liquid mixture chamber 3ae as shown in FIG. Since the air discharge path 4a for discharging the air in the mixed liquid storage cylinder 3b to the outside when the second liquid Y flows in is provided, the first liquid X and the second liquid Y are the main body 3. Even if the liquid cup insertion tube 3a flows into the both liquid mixing chamber 3ae at a very high flow rate, the mixed solution Z mixed in the both liquid mixing chamber 3ae passes through the mixed liquid storage tube 3b. This is preferable because it can be prevented from blowing outward.

  Thus, after the mixed liquid Z mixed in an appropriate mixed state in the liquid mixture chamber 3ae of the liquid cup insertion cylinder 3a of the main body 3 is stored in the liquid mixture storage cylinder 3b and the liquid mixture chamber 3ae, the mixing is performed. When the liquid Z is used, the cap 4 attached to the upper end of the mixed liquid storage cylinder 3b of the main body 3 is removed, and then the microchip 5 is inserted into the mixed liquid storage cylinder 3b as shown in FIG. The mixed solution Z is sucked into the cotton ball 5a attached to one end of the rod-shaped part, or a tool such as a brush or spatula prepared separately is inserted into the mixed solution storage cylinder 3b to take out the mixed solution Z. The mixed solution Z may be applied to the site to be used, and in the case where the cap 4 is further provided, the cap 4 attached to the upper end of the mixed solution storage cylinder 3b of the main body 3 is removed and then the same as described above. The mixed solution Z may be applied to the use site.
