DESCRIPTION OF EXEMPLARY EMBODIMENTS First Embodiment Hereinafter, an embodiment of the invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  1 to 7 are views showing a container device and a cap holder according to a first embodiment of the present invention.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 to 7, the container device 10 has a top surface 12b formed with a circular opening 12a and a paper cylindrical content container 12 filled with shampoo as the contents, and the contents. And a circular cap holder 15 mounted on the upper surface 12 b of the container 12.

  Among these, the cap holding body 15 is made of plastic, and has a top plate 13 disposed on the upper surface 12 b of the content container 12 and a shoulder portion 14 extending downward from the top plate 13. The cap holder 15 is attached to the content container 12 by engaging the shoulder portion 14 with the upper portion of the side surface 12 c of the content container 12.

  The cap holder 15 has a circular upper cylindrical portion 16 extending upward from the top plate 13 and a circular lower cylindrical portion 17 extending downward from the top plate 11, and these upper cylindrical portion 16 and the lower cylindrical portion. The cylindrical portions 16 and 17 are constituted by the cylindrical portion 17. . Further, a dispenser 30 is attached to the upper cylindrical portion 16, and the lower cylindrical portion 17 is inserted into a circular opening 12 a formed in the upper surface 12 b of the content container 12.

  Next, the dispenser 30 will be described with reference to FIG. The dispenser 30 includes a holding body 31 fixed to the upper cylindrical portion 16 of the inner cap 15, a tank 32 extending downward from the holding body 31, and a stem slidably provided through the holding body 31 and the tank 32. (Not shown), and an operation head 34 is attached to the upper portion of the stem 35. In this case, the holding body 31 of the dispenser 30 is screwed and fixed to the external screw 16 a of the upper cylindrical portion 16.

  Further, by moving the operation head 34 in the vertical direction, the content in the content container 12 is sent to the tank 32 through the nozzle 33, and is then poured out from the spout 34 a of the operation head 34 from the tank 32. .

  Next, each component will be further described. The lower cylindrical portion 17 of the cap holder 15 has an outer diameter that gradually decreases toward the lower end 17a. The lower cylindrical portion 17 is inserted into the opening 12a of the contents container 12, but when the outer diameter of the portion of the lower cylindrical portion 17 corresponding to the opening 12a is φA, the opening 12a of the inner container 12 is initially The outer diameter on the lower cylindrical portion 17 side is larger than the opening 12a of the contents container 12, and the lower cylindrical portion 17a can be sealed and inserted into the opening 12a. It can be done. In addition, even when the container device falls over during use, the contents in the contents container 12 are not easily leaked.

  Moreover, as shown in FIG. 4, you may incline the lower end (tip) 17a of the lower cylindrical part 17 with respect to the axis line (FIG. 4 (a)). Thus, the lower cylindrical portion 17 is inclined with respect to the opening 12a of the contents container 12 by inclining the lower end 17a of the lower cylindrical portion 17 and reducing the outer diameter of the lower cylindrical portion 17 toward the lower end 17a. When the cap holder 15 is mounted on the content container 12 while being rotated, the lower cylindrical portion 17 cannot be forced into the opening 12 a of the content container 12. It can be rotated and installed.

  In addition, many uneven | corrugated shapes may be formed in the lower end 17a of the lower cylindrical part 17, and it may be easy to insert the lower cylindrical part 17 in the opening 12a (FIG.4 (b)). Further, a pair of convex portions may be formed at the lower end 17a of the lower cylindrical portion 17 so that the lower cylindrical portion 17 can be easily inserted into the opening 12a (FIG. 4C).

  The tank 32 of the dispenser 30 is provided with an air hole (not shown), and a gap is provided between the lower cylindrical portion 17 and the tank 32 so that the air hole communicates with the contents container 12. Is formed.

  Next, the operation of the present embodiment having such a configuration will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the holder 31 of the dispenser 30 is first attached to the upper cylindrical portion 16 of the cap holder 15. In this case, the holding body 31 can be fixed to the upper cylindrical portion 16 by screwing the holding body 31 into the external screw 16 a of the upper cylindrical portion 16.

  Thereafter, a pull tab (not shown) covering the opening 12a of the contents container 12 is removed, and the lower cylindrical portion 17 of the cap holder 15 is inserted into the opening 12a. At the same time, the cap holder 15 is put on the content container 12, and the shoulder 14 of the cap holder 15 is fitted to the upper part of the side surface 12 c of the content container 12. In this way, the cap holder 15 can be firmly fixed to the content container 12.

  In use, when the operation head 34 of the dispenser 30 is pressed, the operation head 34 moves up and down, and the content in the content container 12 is sent to the tank 32 through the nozzle 33, and then the content is stored in the tank. 32 is poured out through the spout 34a of the operation head 34.

  When the contents in the contents container 12 are consumed, the cap holder 15 is removed from the contents container 12 by the reverse operation to that described above, and the cap holder 15 is attached to the new contents container 12 again. The used content container 12 is then discarded, but since the content container 12 is made of paper, the content container 12 can be discarded as it is.
