JP 10-15472 JP2000-177767

  In the application container described in Patent Document 1, since the discharge port is not formed so as to protrude from the container body, the liquid once adhered to the application part flows to the base of the application part and is collected from the discharge port to the inside of the container body. . In particular, since the coating container described in Patent Document 1 has an inclined surface in which the base portion of the coating portion is lowered toward the discharge port, the liquid attached to the coating portion easily flows toward the discharge port. However, the liquid adhering to the coating part is contaminated with foreign matter such as dirt on the object to be coated and water, and when this foreign material mixed liquid or the like is collected inside the container body from the discharge port, May be altered by chemical changes due to contact with foreign matter.

  In the coating container described in Patent Document 2, the discharge port is formed by a slit in which an elastic member is cut. However, when the coating unit in contact with the coating object bends, the coating unit and the ejection port or the coating object and the discharge object are discharged. The outlet is adjacent or in contact, and the suction force acting on the discharge port by releasing the compression of the container body takes in the foreign substance mixed liquid or the like of the application part or the object to be coated into the container body. Also in this case, there is a possibility that the content liquid in the container main body is deteriorated by contact with foreign matter.

  In addition, in the application container in which the discharge port is located at a position lower than the application part, there is a disadvantage that the liquid remaining in the application part returns to the inside of the container main body due to gravity.

  SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to prevent foreign matter mixed liquid or the like of an application part or an object to be taken into the inside of a container body in an application container.

  The invention of claim 1 is an application container in which an application part is provided around a nozzle provided to protrude from the container body, and the content liquid discharged from the discharge port of the nozzle by compression of the container body is included in the application part, The discharge port of the nozzle is arranged at a position lower than the upper end of the application part, and the application part is prevented from falling between the application part and the nozzle.

The application portion 23 has the upper surface of the top end surface 21A of the attachment portion 21 as a base portion, and the surface generally orthogonal to the central axis of the attachment portion 21 as the upper end (tip application surface). The tip application surface of the application part 23 is inclined with respect to the central axis of the cylindrical part 11 of the container main body 10, and the usability is good.

  The application part 23 of the present embodiment is in the form of a brush made of a large number of resin brushes implanted on the upper surface of the top end face 21A of the attachment part 21. The brush includes the liquid discharged from the discharge port 22A of the nozzle 22 by the compression of the container body 10 when temporarily applying the liquid to the application object, and supplies the liquid to the application object according to the brushing operation. To do.

  The cap 20 with a nozzle places the discharge port 22 </ b> A of the nozzle 22 at a position lower than the upper end of the application unit 23, and provides a fall stop 24 for the application unit 23 between the application unit 23 and the nozzle 22. The fall stop 24 is formed to a position that is lower than the upper end of the application portion 23 and higher than the discharge port 22 </ b> A of the nozzle 22. The fall stopper 24 of this embodiment forms a cylindrical body. The fall stopper 24 is provided with a liquid recovery slit starting from the upper surface of the top end surface 21A in a region excluding the upper end portion of the cylindrical body. The tilt stopper 24 may be configured such that a large number of rod-shaped bodies surrounding the nozzle 22 are raised from the upper surface of the top end surface 21 </ b> A so that the gap between adjacent rod-shaped bodies is narrower than the brush thickness of the application portion 23.

  The cap with nozzle 20 is provided between the nozzle 22 and the application unit 23, and a liquid recovery unit 25 that is continuous from the base of the application unit 23 (upper surface of the top end surface 21 </ b> A) and lower than the base of the application unit 23.
