Description

本発明は、揮発性液体の放出システム、特に液体供給デバイスにおける揮発性液体用の容器に関する。
香料、殺虫剤、医薬、殺黴剤および殺真菌剤などの揮発性液体を、容器から浸透性のウィック（wick）を介して大気中へ散布するためのデバイスはよく知られており広く用いられている。これらの多くは、基本的に１回だけ使用して使用後に捨てるデバイスである。これは無駄が多く費用がかかり、特に、よりよく散布するため例えばデバイスに組み込まれたファンや送風機などによる強制的な空気流の使用が望ましい場合にそうである。従って、当分野において、容易かつ便利に再充填ができる安価で効率的なデバイスの必要性が存在する。 The present invention relates to a volatile liquid discharge system, in particular a container for volatile liquid in a liquid supply device.
Devices for spraying volatile liquids such as fragrances, insecticides, pharmaceuticals, rodenticides and fungicides from containers through the permeable wick into the atmosphere are well known and widely used ing. Many of these are devices that are basically used once and thrown away after use. This is wasteful and expensive, especially when it is desirable to use a forced air flow, such as with a fan or blower built into the device, for better spreading. Accordingly, there is a need in the art for an inexpensive and efficient device that can be easily and conveniently refilled.

本発明は、揮発性液体を大気中に散布するように適合されたディスペンサーであって、揮発性液体を保持する容器、該容器から前記揮発性液体を大気中に供給するために輸送する手段、および該容器を取り付けるハウジングからなり、該容器が、上部を有する本体；および該本体の上部の上に取外し可能に取り付けられ、揮発性液体用ディスペンサーのハウジングに取外し可能に連結するよう適合された、保持構造；を含む、前記ディスペンサーを提供する。 従って容器は、２つの要素、すなわち、本体および、本体の上に取外し可能に取り付けられる、独立した保持構造とを有する。   The present invention is a dispenser adapted to disperse volatile liquid into the atmosphere, the container holding the volatile liquid, means for transporting the volatile liquid from the container to supply it to the atmosphere, And a housing to which the container is mounted, the container being removably mounted on the top of the body; and adapted to removably connect to the housing of the volatile liquid dispenser; A dispenser, comprising: a retaining structure; The container thus has two elements: a main body and an independent holding structure that is removably mounted on the main body.

本体は任意の使いやすい形状で、任意の使いやすい材料から、例えばプラスチック、セラミック、金属およびガラスなどから作製することができ、プラスチックが、そのコスト、成形性および魅力的な色で提供できるという性能のために特に好ましい。本体は、揮発性液体の貯蔵器を提供し、従って必要な期間液体を保持できなければならない。当業者はそれぞれの場合に好適な材料を容易に選択することができる。
本体は上部を有し、この上部は、本体上に取外し可能に取り付けられる独立した保持構造を受け入れるように適合されている。保持構造自体は、本体上に取外し可能に取り付けることができて、かつハウジングへの取外し可能なアタッチメントを提供するような、任意の好適な構造をとることができる。この構造は、任意の好適な材料から作製できるが、任意の必要な機能の成形を可能にするプラスチック材料が好ましい。 The body can be made in any easy-to-use shape and from any easy-to-use material such as plastic, ceramic, metal and glass, and the performance that plastic can provide in its cost, formability and attractive colors Particularly preferred for. The body must provide a reservoir of volatile liquid and therefore be able to hold the liquid for as long as necessary. A person skilled in the art can easily select a suitable material in each case.
The body has an upper portion that is adapted to receive an independent retaining structure that is removably mounted on the body. The retaining structure itself can take any suitable structure that can be removably mounted on the body and that provides a removable attachment to the housing. The structure can be made from any suitable material, but plastic materials that allow molding of any required function are preferred.

上部は、任意の使いやすい方法により本体に取り付けられる独立した部材であってよく、または（好ましくは）、本体と一体化することもでき、機能を実行する任意の好適な様式に構成できる。１つの好ましい例は、本体から上向きに伸びており、保持構造の対応する機能と相互作用するような好適な機能を有するネックである。例えば、ネックは雄ねじ山を含み、これは保持構造の対応する雌ねじ山と接合し、代替物は簡単にねじを締めたり緩めたりして交換できる。さらなる態様は、スナップ式取付けである；当分野において多くのかかる取り付け具が知られており、当業者は適切なものを容易に適合できる。   The top portion may be a separate member attached to the body by any convenient method, or (preferably) may be integrated with the body and configured in any suitable manner to perform the function. One preferred example is a neck that extends upward from the body and has a suitable function that interacts with the corresponding function of the retaining structure. For example, the neck includes a male thread, which joins with the corresponding female thread of the retaining structure, and the alternative can be easily replaced by tightening or loosening the screw. A further aspect is a snap-on attachment; many such attachments are known in the art, and those skilled in the art can easily adapt the appropriate one.

保持構造を本体に取り付ける好ましい方法は、本体と保持構造の一方における少なくとも１つの要素による取付けであり、前記要素は、本体と保持構造のもう一方における対応する連結要素と連結される。この態様の代表的な配置は、保持構造の上に取り付けられた、下向きに突き出た弾性アームの形を有する少なくとも１つの戻り止めを有し、この戻り止めは突起を含み、該突起は、本体の対応する端部または肩部、例えば典型的にはそこに突起がはまる本体内の凹部によって提供されるものに連結するよう適合されている。本体が上向きに突き出たネックを有する場合は、凹部はこのネック内に便利に配置することができる。好ましい配置は、正反対に向い合った２つの弾性戻り止めを含み、該戻り止めの突起がネックの凹部にはまるよう適合されたものである。さらに好ましい態様においては、弾性戻り止めはネックから離れるように僅かに傾斜しており、本体と保持構造とをハウジングに押し込む動作により、突起は強制的に互いに近づけられて凹部にはめこまれ、その中でハウジングの形状によって保持される。   A preferred method of attaching the retaining structure to the body is attachment by at least one element in one of the body and retaining structure, said element being coupled with a corresponding connecting element in the other of the body and retaining structure. An exemplary arrangement of this embodiment has at least one detent having the shape of a downwardly projecting elastic arm mounted on a retaining structure, the detent including a protrusion, the protrusion comprising a body Are adapted to be coupled to corresponding ends or shoulders, such as those typically provided by recesses in the body into which the protrusions fit. If the body has a neck protruding upwards, the recess can be conveniently placed in this neck. A preferred arrangement includes two diametrically opposed resilient detents, the detents of the detents being adapted to fit into the neck recess. In a further preferred embodiment, the elastic detent is inclined slightly away from the neck, and the projection is forced into the recess by being pushed into the housing by pushing the main body and the holding structure into the recess. It is held by the shape of the housing.

当業者は、この取外し可能な配置を実現する他の多くの方法を容易に思い付くことができ、これらも本発明の範囲に包含される。
保持構造を有する本体の、ハウジングへの取外し可能な取付けは、任意の使いやすい方法によって実現することができる。これはねじ式取付けであってよく、しかしねじ式は、広い揮発面積のウィックが関連する場合は不利であり、なぜならば、回転するかかるウィックの掃引容積と同じ容積のハウジングが必要となるからである。したがって取付けには、回転が関係しない、例えばスナップ式取付けなどが好ましい。しかし、ラッチ機構も好ましい。代表的な取付けにおいては、保持構造とハウジングのどちらかにある少なくとも１つのラッチ部材が、保持構造とハウジングの他方にある少なくとも１つの相補的ラッチ受入機構にそれぞれ連結するように適合されて提供される。 One skilled in the art can easily conceive of many other ways of realizing this removable arrangement, and these are also within the scope of the present invention.
Removable attachment of the body with the retaining structure to the housing can be achieved by any convenient method. This may be a screw-on mounting, but screw-on is disadvantageous when large volatile area wicks are involved, because it requires a housing with the same volume as the swept volume of such rotating wicks. is there. Therefore, the attachment is preferably not related to rotation, for example, snap-type attachment. However, a latch mechanism is also preferred. In a typical installation, at least one latch member on either the retention structure and the housing is provided and adapted to be coupled to at least one complementary latch receiving mechanism on the other of the retention structure and the housing, respectively. The

好ましくは、２つのかかるラッチ部材およびラッチ受入機構があり、それらは好ましくは本体の向い合う側に配置される。少なくとも１つのラッチ部材が保持構造上にあり、ラッチ受入構造がハウジング上にあるのが好ましいが、しかし、ラッチ部材がハウジング上にあり、対応するラッチ受入機構が保持構造上にあってもよい。
ラッチ部材および対応するラッチ受入機構は、当分野に知られている、本体をハウジングに掛け付けたりはずしたりできる任意のかかる機構であってよく、当業者は容易に本発明の範囲内にある多くの異なる可能性を考え出せる。好ましいラッチ部材は、端部に突起を有する弾性アームであって、この突起が、本明細書に記載の戻り止めのそれと同じ様式でハウジングの端部または肩部に連結するものである。好ましくは、少なくとも２つのかかるアームおよび端部／肩部が設けられるべきである。突起は互いに反対方向を向き、保持部材の向い合う側に存在するのが好ましい。 There are preferably two such latch members and a latch receiving mechanism, which are preferably located on opposite sides of the body. Preferably, the at least one latch member is on the holding structure and the latch receiving structure is on the housing, however, the latch member may be on the housing and the corresponding latch receiving mechanism may be on the holding structure.
The latch member and corresponding latch receiving mechanism may be any such mechanism known in the art that allows the body to be hung on and off the housing, and those skilled in the art will readily fall within the scope of the present invention. Can come up with different possibilities. A preferred latch member is a resilient arm having a protrusion at the end that connects to the end or shoulder of the housing in the same manner as that of the detents described herein. Preferably, at least two such arms and ends / shoulders should be provided. It is preferable that the protrusions are opposite to each other and exist on the opposite side of the holding member.

このアームを取外し可能にする１つの方法は、アームを押してはめ込んだり引き抜いたりできるような、傾斜した面を持つ突起部を提供することであり、ここで傾斜面が突起部を上方に、端部または肩部を越えてスライドすることを許容し、かつ本体をハウジング内で適当な位置に保持するアームの機能を損なわないような様式とすることである。好ましくは、この取外しの過程は、突起が端部または肩部から離れる横向きの動きを可能にすることによって容易となり、例えば、本体および／または保持部材を弾性材料で作り、軽い圧力により、突起の変形と端部から離れる内向きの動きが導かれるようにすることである。
再度述べるが、本体および保持部材を適当な位置に取外し可能に保持するための他の多くの可能性が存在し、これらも本発明の範囲に包含され、当業者はこれらを容易に考え出すことができる。 One way to make this arm detachable is to provide a protrusion with an inclined surface that can be pushed and retracted by pushing the arm, where the inclined surface faces the protrusion upward and ends. Or, it should be in a manner that allows sliding over the shoulder and does not impair the function of the arm that holds the body in place within the housing. Preferably, this removal process is facilitated by allowing the protrusion to move laterally away from the end or shoulder, e.g., the body and / or holding member is made of an elastic material, and light pressure allows the protrusion to be The deformation and the inward movement away from the end are guided.
Again, there are many other possibilities for removably holding the body and retaining member in place, and these are also within the scope of the present invention and can be easily devised by those skilled in the art. it can.

揮発性液体を大気中へと輸送するための方法は、好ましくは毛管部材であり、最も好ましくはウィックである。これは、揮発性液体を大気中へと散布するために当分野に知られている任意の種類のウィックであってよい。好ましくは、平らな「へら」型であって、液体中に浸された平らな軸（stem）からなり、これによって、軸より広い、比較的大面積の揮発面をもたらす。かかるウィックは、１片の多孔質材料から打ち抜いて作製することができる。これらがハウジングに搭載されたファンなどの強制空気流源と共に用いられる場合は、随意的に穿孔を有して通気をよりよく許容することができる。   The method for transporting volatile liquids to the atmosphere is preferably a capillary member, most preferably a wick. This may be any type of wick known in the art for spreading volatile liquids into the atmosphere. Preferably, it is a flat “spar” type and consists of a flat stem immersed in the liquid, thereby providing a relatively large area volatile surface that is wider than the axis. Such wicks can be made by stamping from a piece of porous material. If they are used with a forced air flow source such as a fan mounted on the housing, they can optionally have perforations to allow better ventilation.

本発明のディスペンサーは、香料などの揮発性液体を、迅速および効率的に大気中に散布するのに有効である。本明細書に記載の容器は、保持構造を用いて取外し可能にハウジングに取り付けられ、容器が所定の位置にある場合、例えば最良の空気流のためのファンの前にウィックを配置した場合に、液体の散布が最適となる。容器はハウジングから容易に取り外され、容易に再充填される。本ディスペンサーはこのように効率的で実用的であり、無駄がない。
上の記載は、本発明の種々の態様の詳細な記述にすぎず、これら開示された態様に対する多くの変更が、本発明の範囲または精神から逸脱することなく、本開示に従って実施可能であることが理解されるべきである。上の記載は従って、本発明の範囲を限定することを意図していない。本発明の範囲は、付随するクレームおよびそれらの同等物によってのみ、決定されるべきである。
本発明について、好ましい態様を示す以下の図面を参照し、さらに記述する。 The dispenser of the present invention is effective for spraying a volatile liquid such as a fragrance quickly and efficiently into the atmosphere. The container described herein is removably attached to the housing using a retention structure, and when the container is in place, for example, when a wick is placed in front of the fan for the best airflow, Optimal spraying of liquid. The container is easily removed from the housing and easily refilled. The dispenser is thus efficient and practical and wasteful.
The above is merely a detailed description of various aspects of the invention, and many modifications to these disclosed aspects can be made in accordance with the present disclosure without departing from the scope or spirit of the invention. Should be understood. The above description is therefore not intended to limit the scope of the invention. The scope of the invention should be determined only by the appended claims and their equivalents.
The invention will be further described with reference to the following drawings, which illustrate preferred embodiments.

図１を参照すると、本発明の容器２０は、香料化合物などの揮発性液体を供給するためのユニットのハウジング１００に、取外し可能に固定される。ユニットは、香料化合物などの揮発性液体を室内へ散布するようデザインされる。香料化合物は、室内周囲温度において毛管部材７４の周りを流れる強制空気流を介して散布される。容器２０は、揮発性液体の貯蔵器として働く。毛管部材７４は、容器２０の開口部に配置される。毛管部材７４の一部は、容器２０の内部にまで伸びて揮発性液体に接触している。毛管部材７４の他の一部は、容器２０の外部に伸びている。容器２０がハウジング１００に固定されると、容器２０の一部および容器の外部に伸びている毛管部材７４の一部は、ハウジング１００の内部にある。これらの状況のもとで、揮発性液体は毛管部材７４にそって貯蔵器から容器２０の外部へと移動し、そこで毛管部材７４の外面から、ハウジング１００に取付けられたモーター駆動ファンが生成する強制空気流によって揮発する。この態様において、容器２０はハウジング１００に対し、ハウジング１００の内部にある毛管部材７４の一部が、ファンが生成する強制空気流の中にあるような位置に固定される。   Referring to FIG. 1, a container 20 of the present invention is removably secured to a housing 100 of a unit for supplying a volatile liquid such as a fragrance compound. The unit is designed to spray volatile liquids such as fragrance compounds into the room. The perfume compound is sprayed through a forced air stream that flows around the capillary member 74 at room ambient temperature. Container 20 serves as a reservoir for volatile liquids. The capillary member 74 is disposed in the opening of the container 20. A portion of the capillary member 74 extends into the container 20 and is in contact with the volatile liquid. The other part of the capillary member 74 extends to the outside of the container 20. When the container 20 is fixed to the housing 100, a part of the container 20 and a part of the capillary member 74 extending to the outside of the container are inside the housing 100. Under these circumstances, the volatile liquid travels along the capillary member 74 from the reservoir to the exterior of the container 20, where a motor driven fan attached to the housing 100 is generated from the outer surface of the capillary member 74. Volatilizes by forced air flow. In this embodiment, the container 20 is secured to the housing 100 in such a position that a portion of the capillary member 74 inside the housing 100 is in the forced air flow generated by the fan.

図１、図２および図１０を参照すると、容器２０は、香料供給ユニットのハウジング１００の開口部２００において、保持構造２６を介して取外し可能に取り付けられるようデザインされる。これらの態様において、容器２０は、上部２４を有する本体２２を含む。ネック４２は上部２４から伸びており、容器２０の内部への開口部４４を規定する。一般に２６で示される保持構造は、容器２０の上部２４の上に取り付けられる。   With reference to FIGS. 1, 2, and 10, the container 20 is designed to be removably attached via the retaining structure 26 in the opening 200 of the housing 100 of the perfume supply unit. In these embodiments, the container 20 includes a body 22 having an upper portion 24. A neck 42 extends from the top 24 and defines an opening 44 into the interior of the container 20. A holding structure, generally indicated at 26, is mounted on the top 24 of the container 20.

次に保持構造の種々の他の態様について述べる。上で述べたように、保持構造２６は揮発性ディスペンサーのハウジングに取外し可能に連結されて、容器２０をハウジング１００に固定する。図３、図４および図７を参照すると、保持構造２６の第１の態様は、図１０に見られるように、例えば端部もしくは肩部６８などの相補的ラッチ受入機構と連結する、ハウジング開口部２００の向い合う側それぞれにある１つまたは２つ以上のラッチ部材２８を含む。各ラッチ部材２８は、入り口部３２およびフック部３４を有する。それぞれのラッチ部材２８の入り口部３２およびフック部３４の両方は、図７に見られるように、ハウジング１００内への容器の挿入方向「Ａ」の軸に対して一般に傾斜した表面を有しており、ハウジングの相補面とのスライド接触を、より容易に確立することができる。この態様においては図３に見られるように、ラッチ部材２８は、容器の上部２４から独立した要素として作製される、ブラケット４０の上に形成される。   Next, various other embodiments of the holding structure will be described. As noted above, the retention structure 26 is removably coupled to the housing of the volatile dispenser to secure the container 20 to the housing 100. Referring to FIGS. 3, 4 and 7, the first aspect of the retaining structure 26 is a housing opening that couples with a complementary latch receiving mechanism, such as an end or shoulder 68, as seen in FIG. One or more latch members 28 on each opposite side of the portion 200 are included. Each latch member 28 has an entrance portion 32 and a hook portion 34. Both the inlet portion 32 and the hook portion 34 of each latch member 28 have surfaces that are generally inclined with respect to the axis of the direction of insertion “A” of the container into the housing 100, as seen in FIG. Thus, sliding contact with the complementary surface of the housing can be more easily established. In this embodiment, as seen in FIG. 3, the latch member 28 is formed on a bracket 40 that is made as a separate element from the top 24 of the container.

ラッチ部材２８の代替物は、保持構造２６内に組み込むことができる。例えば、保持構造２６は、タブまたはラッチなどのハウジング１００上に形成された相補的突起物と確実に連結するための、ラッチ受入部材(示されず)を含むことができる。上記の保持構造の態様において、ラッチ部材２８および／またはラッチ部材が連結するハウジング１００の一部は、容器２０をハウジング１００に取り付ける間、弾性的に湾曲することができる。
図３、図４および図５を参照すると、保持構造２６は１つまたは２つ以上の戻り止め部材３８もまた含むことができ、該戻り止め部材はブラケット４０上に組み込まれて、容器のネック４２をその中に包含する包含物を形成する。１つの態様において、戻り止め部材３８は、ベース端４６および自由端４８を有する片持ち梁式になっている。戻り止め部材３８はまた、図に示されるように、僅かに外側に、ネック４２から離れる方向に突き出るよう形成される。突起５０は、各戻り止め３８の自由端４８に形成され、凹部５２はネック４２の壁に各突起５０に向い合うように形成され、後に記載する様式で対応する１つの突起をその中に受入れる。 An alternative to the latch member 28 can be incorporated into the retaining structure 26. For example, the retention structure 26 can include a latch receiving member (not shown) for securely coupling with a complementary protrusion formed on the housing 100, such as a tab or latch. In the above holding structure aspect, the latch member 28 and / or a portion of the housing 100 to which the latch member is coupled can be elastically curved while the container 20 is attached to the housing 100.
Referring to FIGS. 3, 4 and 5, the retention structure 26 can also include one or more detent members 38, which are incorporated on the bracket 40 to form the neck of the container. An inclusion is formed which includes 42 therein. In one aspect, detent member 38 is cantilevered with a base end 46 and a free end 48. The detent member 38 is also formed to protrude slightly outward, away from the neck 42, as shown. A protrusion 50 is formed at the free end 48 of each detent 38 and a recess 52 is formed in the wall of the neck 42 to face each protrusion 50 and receive therein a corresponding protrusion in the manner described below. .

上に述べたように、本発明の保持構造は、上部２４から独立した要素の上に形成することができる。前に記載した第１の態様においては、独立した要素はブラケット４０の形の１部品であった。ブラケット４０は、保持構造の要素をブラケットと一体化して形成可能な方法、例えば鋳造（molding）またはスタンピングおよび成形（forming）などを用いて製造することができる。ブラケット４０のハウジングの上部２４における配置に依存して、開口部５４（図３）がブラケット４０内に形成され、容器２０内に伸びている毛管部材７４（図１）の一部がこの開口部を通して受け入れられる。図６を参照すると、他の態様において、保持構造の要素は複数の別の要素５８上に形成することができ、各要素５８は、ハウジングの上部２４に個別に取り付けることができる。例えば、前に記載したように、ラッチ部材２８は独立した部品５８の各々に形成してもよい。次に各独立部品５８は、容器の上部２４に固定することができる。   As noted above, the retaining structure of the present invention can be formed on an element that is independent of the upper portion 24. In the first embodiment described previously, the independent element was a single piece in the form of a bracket 40. The bracket 40 can be manufactured using methods that allow the elements of the retaining structure to be formed integrally with the bracket, such as molding or stamping and forming. Depending on the placement of the bracket 40 in the upper portion 24 of the housing, an opening 54 (FIG. 3) is formed in the bracket 40 and a portion of the capillary member 74 (FIG. 1) extending into the container 20 is the opening. Accepted through. With reference to FIG. 6, in another aspect, the elements of the retention structure can be formed on a plurality of separate elements 58, and each element 58 can be individually attached to the top 24 of the housing. For example, as previously described, the latch member 28 may be formed on each of the independent components 58. Each independent part 58 can then be secured to the top 24 of the container.

保持構造２６は、保持構造の要素を上部２４と一体化して形成可能な方法、例えば鋳造またはスタンピングおよび成形などを用いて製造することができる。例えば、上部２４は、鋳型成形したプラスチック要素であってよく、保持構造の要素（例えばラッチ、戻り止め部材など）はそこに一体化して成形することができる。代替的に、上部２４は、保持構造要素が切削および曲げ加工によって形成される、板金加工要素であってもよい。   The retaining structure 26 can be manufactured using methods that allow the elements of the retaining structure to be formed integrally with the upper portion 24, such as casting or stamping and molding. For example, the upper portion 24 may be a molded plastic element, and the retaining structure elements (eg, latches, detent members, etc.) may be integrally molded therein. Alternatively, the upper portion 24 may be a sheet metal working element in which the retaining structural element is formed by cutting and bending.

保持構造を含む１個または２個以上の独立した要素は、上部２４に、種々の既知の方法の１つ、例えばラッチシステムまたはスナップ式取付けなどを用いて、取外し可能に取り付けることができる。１つの例としては、図４を参照すると、上記のブラケット４０を、容器の上部に形成された支持構造６０に取り付けることができる。支持構造６０は、ブラケット４０を容器上部２４に配置して固定するのを支援する。この態様において、支持構造６０は、容器上部２４に形成されたネック４２および１対のタブ６２を含む。ブラケット４０の構造は、ブラケット４０が容器上部２４に取り付けられた場合に、その中にネック４２を受入れる包含物を規定する。１対のスロット（示されず）もブラケット４０に形成されて、ブラケット４０を上部２４に取り付ける際にその中にタブ６２を受け入れる。   One or more independent elements including the retaining structure can be removably attached to the top 24 using one of a variety of known methods, such as a latch system or snap-on attachment. As one example, referring to FIG. 4, the bracket 40 described above can be attached to a support structure 60 formed on the top of the container. Support structure 60 assists in placing and securing bracket 40 to container top 24. In this embodiment, the support structure 60 includes a neck 42 and a pair of tabs 62 formed in the container top 24. The structure of the bracket 40 defines an inclusion that receives the neck 42 therein when the bracket 40 is attached to the container top 24. A pair of slots (not shown) are also formed in the bracket 40 to receive tabs 62 therein when the bracket 40 is attached to the upper portion 24.

代替的な態様において、保持構造に組み込まれた１つまたは２つ以上の独立した要素は、接着剤による接着、超音波溶接、容器上部に形成された相補的機構を用いた締りばめなどの、種々の既知の方法の１つを用いて、取外しのできない方法で容器上部２４に固定することもできる。
次に、容器２０のハウジング１００への取外し可能な取付けについて考察する。図７、図８および図１０を参照すると、容器２０をハウジング１００に取り付けたい場合、保持構造２６はハウジング開口部２００内に受け入れられて、そこで保持構造の要素はハウジング１００に設置された相補的機構と連結して、容器２０をハウジング１００に固定する。特に、上記の保持構造の第１の態様において、ラッチ部材入り口部３２は、ハウジング開口部２００の向い合う側にある相補的肩部６８とかみあって、ラッチ部材入り口部３２がハウジング肩部６８を通過するまでラッチ部材２８を内側に湾曲させ、その後ラッチ部材２８はスナップ式に戻って、フック部分３４がハウジング肩部６８にひっかかり実質的に湾曲していない状態となる。ラッチ部材２８とハウジング開口部２００の向い合う側の間のこの押し込み式の連結は、容器２０をハウジング１００に固定するのを支援する。 In an alternative embodiment, one or more independent elements incorporated into the holding structure may be adhesive bonding, ultrasonic welding, an interference fit using a complementary mechanism formed on the top of the container, etc. It can also be secured to the container top 24 in a non-removable manner using one of various known methods.
Next, consider the removable attachment of the container 20 to the housing 100. With reference to FIGS. 7, 8, and 10, if it is desired to attach the container 20 to the housing 100, the retaining structure 26 is received within the housing opening 200 where the elements of the retaining structure are complementary to the housing 100. The container 20 is fixed to the housing 100 in connection with the mechanism. In particular, in the first aspect of the retaining structure described above, the latch member inlet 32 engages with a complementary shoulder 68 on the opposite side of the housing opening 200 so that the latch member inlet 32 engages the housing shoulder 68. The latch member 28 is bent inward until it passes, and then the latch member 28 snaps back so that the hook portion 34 is caught on the housing shoulder 68 and is not substantially bent. This push-type connection between the latch member 28 and the opposite side of the housing opening 200 assists in securing the container 20 to the housing 100.

図５および図９を参照すると、保持構造をハウジング開口部２００に挿入する間、各戻り止め部材３８は、ハウジング開口部２００のそれぞれの向い合う壁７０と滑り接触を確立する。この滑り接触は、戻り止め部材３８に対して、ネック４２に近づく方向に内向きの弾性湾曲を引き起こし、戻り止め部材３８のハウジング１００への挿入に対する抵抗をもたらす。保持構造２６がハウジング１００にさらに挿入されるにつれて、戻り止め部材３８はさらに内側に湾曲し、戻り止め部材３８の突起５０は凹部５２に入る。保持構造２６が開口部２００に完全に挿入されると、戻り止め部材の突起５０は凹部５２の中にある。この位置において、各戻り止め部材３８と対応するハウジングの壁７０の間の接触力が、ハウジング１００への容器２０の固定を支援しているのが見られる。   With reference to FIGS. 5 and 9, each detent member 38 establishes sliding contact with a respective facing wall 70 of the housing opening 200 during insertion of the retaining structure into the housing opening 200. This sliding contact causes an inward elastic curvature in the direction toward the neck 42 with respect to the detent member 38 and provides resistance to insertion of the detent member 38 into the housing 100. As the retaining structure 26 is further inserted into the housing 100, the detent member 38 curves further inward and the protrusion 50 of the detent member 38 enters the recess 52. When the retaining structure 26 is fully inserted into the opening 200, the detent 50 is in the recess 52. In this position, the contact force between each detent member 38 and the corresponding housing wall 70 is seen to assist in securing the container 20 to the housing 100.

ここで図８を参照すると、容器２０をハウジング１００から取り外したい場合は、ユーザーは容器２０を側面７２に沿ってつかみ、容器２０を矢印「Ｂ」で示される方向へ引っ張ることができる。するとフック部分３４の傾斜面がハウジング開口部２００の向い合う側の相補的肩部６８とかみあって、フック部３４がハウジング肩部６８を通過するまでラッチ部材２８（図７）が内側に湾曲され、通過すると、保持構造をハウジング１００から引き抜く間、入り口部３２の傾斜面がハウジング肩部６８に滑り接触状態で連結される。   Referring now to FIG. 8, if the container 20 is to be removed from the housing 100, the user can grasp the container 20 along the side surface 72 and pull the container 20 in the direction indicated by arrow "B". Then, the inclined surface of the hook portion 34 engages with the complementary shoulder 68 on the opposite side of the housing opening 200, and the latch member 28 (FIG. 7) is bent inward until the hook 34 passes through the housing shoulder 68. When the holding structure is pulled out from the housing 100, the inclined surface of the inlet portion 32 is connected to the housing shoulder 68 in a sliding contact state.

ハウジング肩部６８とフック部３４の傾斜面との間の当初の滑り連結により、またハウジング肩部６８と入り口部３２の傾斜面の間の続いての滑り連結により、ラッチ部材２８は、保持構造（およびそれに取り付けられた容器）がハウジング１００からはずれることを防ぐよう機能するのが見られる。図５および図９を参照すると、保持構造をハウジングからはずす間、各戻り止め３８がそれぞれのハウジングの壁７０に滑り接触してかみ合うと、戻り止め突起５０と凹部５２の間の連結は、ネック４２に対するブラケット４０のグリップ効果を生成する。容器２０のハウジング１００から遠ざかる「Ｂ」方向の初期の動きの間、ネック４２に対するブラケット４０のこのグリップ効果は、ブラケット４０が容器２０に固定され続けるのを支援し、それによって、ブラケット４０が容器２０から離れるのを防止することを支援する。保持構造２６がハウジング１００からさらに取り外されると、ハウジングの壁７０はベース端４６により近い位置で戻り止め部材３８にかみ合って、戻り止め部材３８が湾曲しない状態に戻ることを許容し、突起５０が凹部５２からはずれることになる。   Due to the initial sliding connection between the housing shoulder 68 and the inclined surface of the hook portion 34 and the subsequent sliding connection between the housing shoulder 68 and the inclined surface of the inlet portion 32, the latch member 28 is provided with a retaining structure. It can be seen that (and the container attached thereto) functions to prevent disengagement from the housing 100. Referring to FIGS. 5 and 9, as each detent 38 slides into and engages the respective housing wall 70 while the retaining structure is removed from the housing, the connection between the detent protrusion 50 and the recess 52 is the neck. The grip effect of the bracket 40 with respect to 42 is generated. During the initial movement in the “B” direction away from the housing 100 of the container 20, this gripping effect of the bracket 40 against the neck 42 helps keep the bracket 40 secured to the container 20, so that the bracket 40 is secured to the container 20. Helps prevent you from leaving 20. When the retaining structure 26 is further removed from the housing 100, the housing wall 70 engages the detent member 38 at a position closer to the base end 46, allowing the detent member 38 to return to an uncurved state and the protrusion 50. It will deviate from the recess 52.
