Description

本発明は、スクイズ容器に関する。   The present invention relates to a squeeze container.

可撓性を有する容器本体を、外方から押圧して内容液を吐出させるスクイズ容器において、容器本体内に押圧量を規制する規制筒ないし押圧係止部材を設け、押圧部位を容器本体の上下方向で変えることにより内容液の異なる量を吐出させる方法（特許文献１）や、押圧部位を容器本体の周方向で変えることにより内容液の吐出量を異ならせる方法（特許文献２）がある。   In a squeeze container that presses a flexible container body from the outside and discharges the content liquid, a regulation cylinder or a pressure locking member that regulates the amount of pressing is provided in the container body, and the pressing portion is placed above and below the container body. There are a method of discharging different amounts of the content liquid by changing the direction (Patent Document 1) and a method of changing the discharge amount of the content liquid by changing the pressing portion in the circumferential direction of the container body (Patent Document 2).

また、所定量の内容液を吐出させる場合に、押圧すべき部位を示す目印を容器本体の外壁に付することが提案されている（特許文献２）。
実開昭６２−１０１７６９号公報 特開２００６−１８２４２９号公報 In addition, it has been proposed that when a predetermined amount of content liquid is discharged, a mark indicating a portion to be pressed is attached to the outer wall of the container body (Patent Document 2).
Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 62-101769 JP 2006-182429 A

しかしながら、特許文献１に記載のスクイズ容器においては、押圧位置を変えることにより、吐出量を多く又は少なくするという大まかな変更はできても、所望の量で吐出させることはできない。また、特許文献２に記載のスクイズ容器においても、容器本体の外壁に表示された吐出量と異なる吐出量で内容液を吐出させたい場合には押圧すべき部位がわからず、所望の吐出量で内容液を吐出させることが困難となっている。特に、スクイズ容器の把持性を向上させるため、容器本体として、その上部や下部に比して中央部を細径に形成したり、さらにその側面の一部を扁平に形成した異形容器を使用する場合には、所望の吐出量で内容液を吐出させることが困難となっている。   However, in the squeeze container described in Patent Document 1, even if a rough change of increasing or decreasing the discharge amount can be performed by changing the pressing position, the squeeze container cannot be discharged in a desired amount. Also, in the squeeze container described in Patent Document 2, when the content liquid is to be discharged with a discharge amount different from the discharge amount displayed on the outer wall of the container body, the portion to be pressed is not known, and the desired discharge amount is obtained. It is difficult to discharge the content liquid. In particular, in order to improve the gripability of the squeeze container, a deformed container in which the central part is formed with a narrower diameter than the upper part or the lower part thereof, or a part of the side surface thereof is flattened is used as the container body. In this case, it is difficult to discharge the content liquid with a desired discharge amount.

一方、例えば、洗濯用濃縮洗剤や濃縮柔軟剤等では、基準（推奨）量が決められているものの、洗濯槽の大きさ、洗濯物の量などによって、使用者が必要な液量を任意に変えることが、日常的に行われている。したがって、所望の吐出量で定量吐出させることのできるスクイズ容器の開発が望まれていた。   On the other hand, for example, for laundry detergents and concentrated softeners, the standard (recommended) amount is determined, but the user can freely set the amount of liquid required depending on the size of the washing tub and the amount of laundry. Changing is done on a daily basis. Therefore, it has been desired to develop a squeeze container that can discharge a fixed amount with a desired discharge amount.

これに対し、本発明は、所望の吐出量で内容液を定量吐出させることのできるスクイズ容器を提供することを目的とする。   On the other hand, an object of this invention is to provide the squeeze container which can carry out fixed amount discharge of the content liquid with a desired discharge amount.

上述の目的を達成するため、本発明は、可撓性を有する容器本体と、容器本体の押圧変形を容器本体内で規制する押圧規制部材とを備え、容器本体を押圧することにより内容液を吐出させるスクイズ容器であって、容器本体の側面に上下方向に配列した計量目盛を有し、
計量目盛の上下方向の配列範囲において、容器本体の内径が、容器本体の上部及び／又は下部に比して細径に形成され、
計量目盛の配列上における上下方向の位置と該位置を押圧した場合の吐出量とがリニアな関係になっているスクイズ容器を提供する。 In order to achieve the above-described object, the present invention includes a container body having flexibility, and a pressure regulating member that regulates the pressure deformation of the container body within the container body. A squeeze container to be discharged, having a weighing scale arranged in the vertical direction on the side of the container body,
In the arrangement range in the vertical direction of the measurement scale, the inner diameter of the container body is formed to be smaller than the upper part and / or the lower part of the container body,
Provided is a squeeze container in which a vertical position on a measurement scale array and a discharge amount when the position is pressed are in a linear relationship.

本発明のスクイズ容器によれば、容器本体の側面に計量目盛を有し、計量目盛の上下方向の配列範囲において、容器本体の内径が、容器本体の上部及び／又は下部に比して細径に形成されているので、容器本体を把持して押圧する部位が、容器本体の上部及び／又は下部に比して細径となり、把持性が向上する。   According to the squeeze container of the present invention, the container body has a weighing scale on the side surface, and the inner diameter of the container body is smaller than the upper and / or lower part of the container body in the vertical arrangement range of the weighing scale. Therefore, the portion that grips and presses the container main body has a smaller diameter than the upper part and / or the lower part of the container main body, and the gripping property is improved.

さらに、計量目盛の配列上における上下方向の位置と該位置を押圧した場合の吐出量とがリニアな関係になっているので、所望の吐出量が計量目盛に直接表示されている場合に、その付設位置を押圧する他、所望の吐出量が計量目盛に直接は表示されておらず、一つの計量目盛に表示された吐出量とその隣の計量目盛に表示された吐出量との間にある場合でも、それらの計量目盛の間を押圧することにより、所望の吐出量で内容液を吐出させることが可能となる。   Furthermore, since the vertical position on the measurement scale array and the discharge amount when the position is pressed are in a linear relationship, when the desired discharge amount is directly displayed on the measurement scale, In addition to pressing the attachment position, the desired discharge amount is not directly displayed on the measurement scale, but is between the discharge amount displayed on one measurement scale and the discharge amount displayed on the next measurement scale. Even in such a case, it is possible to discharge the content liquid at a desired discharge amount by pressing between the measurement scales.

以下、図面を参照しつつ本発明を詳細に説明する。なお、各図中、同一符号は、同一又は同等の構成要素を表している。   Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In addition, in each figure, the same code | symbol represents the same or equivalent component.

図１は、本発明の一実施例のスクイズ容器１Ａの正面側斜視図（同図(ａ)）及び側面側斜視図（同図(b)）である。   FIG. 1 is a front side perspective view (FIG. 1A) and a side side perspective view (FIG. 1B) of a squeeze container 1A according to an embodiment of the present invention.

このスクイズ容器１Ａは、内容液を収容する容器本体１０、容器本体１０の口部に着脱自在に装着されるノズルキャップ２０、ノズルキャップ２０の上から着脱自在に容器本体１０に装着される蓋体３０、及び容器本体１０内に設けられた押圧規制部材４０を備えている。   The squeeze container 1A includes a container main body 10 that stores the content liquid, a nozzle cap 20 that is detachably attached to the mouth of the container main body 10, and a lid that is detachably attached to the container main body 10 from above the nozzle cap 20. 30 and a pressure regulating member 40 provided in the container main body 10.

容器本体１０の側面の正面と背面には、それぞれ上下方向に配列した計量目盛１１が付設されている。個々の計量目盛１１はリブ状に突出しており、計量目盛１１上を図１（ｂ）の矢印のように押圧した場合の内容液の吐出量（例えば、１０ｍＬ、２０ｍＬ、３０ｍＬ）が適当な数値間隔で容器本体１０の表面に付されている。   On the front and back of the side surface of the container main body 10 are respectively provided weighing scales 11 arranged in the vertical direction. Each measuring scale 11 protrudes in a rib shape, and the discharge amount of the content liquid (for example, 10 mL, 20 mL, 30 mL) when the measuring scale 11 is pressed as shown by the arrow in FIG. It is attached to the surface of the container body 10 at intervals.

容器本体１０は、概略有底円筒形状であるが、計量目盛１１の上下方向の配列範囲が容器本体１０の上部１０ａ及び下部１０ｂに比して細径に形成されており、計量目盛１１の配列範囲あたりが片手で把持しやすく、また片手で把持した状態で計量目盛１１を押圧することにより、その押圧部位を容易に押圧規制部材４０に達する位置まで押し込めるようになっている。なお、本発明において容器本体１０は、少なくも計量目盛１１の上下方向の配列範囲の内径が、容器本体１０の上部１０ａ又は下部１０ｂのいずれか一方に比して細径となり、把持性が向上していればよい。   The container main body 10 has a substantially bottomed cylindrical shape, but the arrangement range in the vertical direction of the weighing scale 11 is formed smaller than the upper part 10a and the lower part 10b of the container main body 10, and the arrangement of the weighing scale 11 The range can be easily gripped with one hand, and the pressing portion is easily pushed to the position where the pressing restricting member 40 is reached by pressing the weighing scale 11 while being held with one hand. In the present invention, the container body 10 has at least an inner diameter of the arrangement range in the vertical direction of the weighing scale 11 that is smaller than either the upper part 10a or the lower part 10b of the container body 10, and the gripping property is improved. If you do.

また、容器本体１０は可撓性を有するプラスチック、好ましくは、内容液の液面を容器本体１０の外方から視認できる程度に透明性又は半透明性も有するプラスチックから形成する。したがって、容器本体１０を押圧して容器本体１０を凹ませると、その凹み量に応じて容器本体１０内に収容されている内容液が、ノズルキャップ２０の先端の吐出孔２１から吐出する。   The container body 10 is made of a flexible plastic, preferably a plastic having transparency or translucency so that the liquid level of the content liquid can be seen from the outside of the container body 10. Therefore, when the container main body 10 is pressed to dent the container main body 10, the content liquid stored in the container main body 10 is discharged from the discharge hole 21 at the tip of the nozzle cap 20 according to the amount of the dent.

一方、押圧規制部材４０は、容器本体１０の押圧変形を容器本体１０内で規制するもので、本実施例においては容器本体１０の開口部１２近傍から垂下した筒状部材から形成されている。   On the other hand, the pressing restricting member 40 restricts the pressing deformation of the container main body 10 within the container main body 10 and is formed of a cylindrical member that hangs down from the vicinity of the opening 12 of the container main body 10 in this embodiment.

押圧規制部材４０の外形は、計量目盛１１の上下方向の配列範囲で図１(b)の矢印のように容器本体１０を押圧した場合に、その押圧部位における凹み量、即ち、容器本体１０の正面側の内壁と押圧規制部材４０との距離Ｌ1aと背面側の内壁と押圧規制部材４０との距離Ｌ1bとの合計（Ｌ1a＋Ｌ1b）と、計量目盛１１の配列上における上下方向の位置とがリニアな関係になるように形成されている。より具体的には、計量目盛１１の上下方向の配列範囲で容器本体１０が一定の内径を有する円筒状であるのに対し、押圧規制部材４０は、上部の径が下部の径に比して大きい逆テーパー型となり、その径が上述のリニアな関係を満たすように調整されている。   The outer shape of the pressing regulating member 40 is such that when the container main body 10 is pressed as shown by the arrow in FIG. The sum (L1a + L1b) of the distance L1a between the inner wall on the front side and the pressure regulating member 40 and the distance L1b between the inner wall on the back side and the pressure regulating member 40 and the position in the vertical direction on the arrangement of the weighing scales 11 are linear. It is formed to be in a relationship. More specifically, the container body 10 has a cylindrical shape with a constant inner diameter in the vertical arrangement range of the weighing scale 11, whereas the pressure regulating member 40 has an upper diameter compared to a lower diameter. It becomes a large reverse taper type, and its diameter is adjusted so as to satisfy the linear relationship described above.

したがって、このスクイズ容器１Ａによれば、所望の吐出量で内容液を吐出させる場合に、その吐出量が計量目盛１１に数値として表示されているときには、その計量目盛部分を押圧すればよく、その吐出量が計量目盛１１に数値として表示されていない場合でも、表示されている計量目盛１１から案分される位置で押圧すればよく、計量目盛１１が付されている範囲において所望の吐出量で定量吐出させることが可能となる。例えば、図１(a)に図示したように、計量目盛１１に、１０ｍＬ、２０ｍＬ、３０ｍＬが表示されている場合に、１５ｍＬを吐出させるときには、１０ｍＬと２０ｍＬの計量目盛の中間の位置を押圧すればよい。   Therefore, according to the squeeze container 1A, when the content liquid is discharged at a desired discharge amount, when the discharge amount is displayed as a numerical value on the measurement scale 11, it is only necessary to press the measurement scale portion. Even when the discharge amount is not displayed as a numerical value on the weighing scale 11, it may be pressed at a position allocated from the displayed weighing scale 11, and at a desired discharge amount within the range where the weighing scale 11 is attached. A fixed amount can be discharged. For example, as shown in FIG. 1A, when 10 mL, 20 mL, and 30 mL are displayed on the weighing scale 11, when 15 mL is discharged, the intermediate position between the 10 mL and 20 mL weighing scales is pressed. That's fine.

なお、本発明において、計量目盛１１の配列上における上下方向の位置と該位置を押圧した場合の吐出量とがリニアな関係であるとは、これらの関係が厳密にリニアである必要はなく、表示されている計量目盛１１の間隔の１／２より小さい単位の程度、より好ましくは１／５〜１／２程度の刻みで案分して吐出量を調整できればよい。また、計量目盛１１に、吐出量が一定量ずつ異なる複数の目盛を付する場合に、それらの目盛間隔は、等間隔でなくてもよく、図２に示すスクイズ容器１Ｂのように、数値の多い方から少ない方に向かって目盛間隔が次第に狭まるようにしてもよく、反対に広がるようにしてもよい。   In the present invention, the linear relationship between the vertical position on the measurement scale 11 array and the discharge amount when the position is pressed does not have to be strictly linear. It is only necessary that the discharge amount can be adjusted in proportion to the unit smaller than ½ of the interval of the displayed weighing scale 11, more preferably in steps of about 1/5 to ½. In addition, when a plurality of graduations with different discharge amounts are attached to the weighing graduation 11, the graduation intervals need not be equal, and numerical values such as the squeeze container 1B shown in FIG. The scale interval may be gradually narrowed from the larger number toward the smaller number, or may be widened in the opposite direction.

本発明のスクイズ容器において、ノズルキャップ２０の形状には制限はなく、容器本体１０や押圧規制部材４０の形状についても、計量目盛１１の配列上における上下方向の位置と該位置を押圧した場合の吐出量とをリニアな関係にすれば、種々の形状をとることができる。   In the squeeze container of the present invention, the shape of the nozzle cap 20 is not limited, and the shape of the container main body 10 and the pressing restricting member 40 is also determined when the vertical position and the position on the measurement scale 11 are pressed. If the discharge amount is in a linear relationship, various shapes can be taken.

例えば、図３に示すスクイズ容器１Ｃのように、容器本体１０は図１のスクイズ容器１Ａと同じ形状とし、押圧規制部材４０を、上部の径が下部の径に比して小さいテーパー型とし、計量目盛１１中の上方の目盛に対応する吐出量を下方の目盛に対応する吐出量より多くしてもよい。   For example, like the squeeze container 1C shown in FIG. 3, the container body 10 has the same shape as the squeeze container 1A of FIG. 1, and the pressing restricting member 40 is a tapered type whose upper diameter is smaller than the lower diameter, The discharge amount corresponding to the upper scale in the measurement scale 11 may be made larger than the discharge amount corresponding to the lower scale.

また、図４に示すスクイズ容器１Ｄのように、計量目盛１１の上下方向の配列の範囲で、押圧規制部材４０を一定径の筒状とし、容器本体１０の形状を上方が細径で下方が太径のテーパー型としてもよく、図５に示すスクイズ容器１Ｅのように、計量目盛１１の上下方向の配列の範囲で、押圧規制部材４０を一定径の筒状とし、容器本体１０の形状を上方が太径で下方が細径の逆テーパー型としてもよい。   Further, as in the squeeze container 1D shown in FIG. 4, the pressure regulating members 40 are formed in a cylindrical shape with a constant diameter within the range of the vertical scale of the weighing scale 11, and the shape of the container body 10 is narrower on the upper side and lower on the lower side. A taper type with a large diameter may be used, and as in the squeeze container 1E shown in FIG. It is good also as a reverse taper type | mold with the upper part having a large diameter and the lower part having a small diameter.

さらに、図６、図７に示すスクイズ容器１Ｆ、１Ｇのように、容器本体１０を把持部にくびれをもたせたヒョウタン型とし、それに伴い押圧規制部材４０の形状を、計量目盛１１の上下方向の配列の範囲で、上方又は下方が太径の釣鐘型としてもよい。   Furthermore, like the squeeze containers 1F and 1G shown in FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, the container body 10 is a gourd type having a constricted grip portion, and the shape of the pressure restricting member 40 is changed in the vertical direction of the measuring scale 11 accordingly. Within the range of arrangement, the upper or lower part may have a large bell shape.

また、図８に示すスクイズ容器１Ｈのように、計量目盛１１の上下方向の配列範囲を容器本体１０の上部１０ａ及び下部１０ｂに比して細径に形成するにあたり、少なくとも計量目盛１１の上下方向の配列範囲において、容器本体１０の横断面外形形状が、弧状部分１３と直線状部分１４からなるＤ字型形状をなすように容器形状を扁平させ、その弧状部分１３側の容器本体１０の側面に計量目盛１１を付してもよい。この場合、弧状部分１３側の容器本体１０の内壁と押圧規制部材４０との距離Ｌ1aは、計量目盛１１の上下方向の位置に応じて変わるようにするが、直線状部分１４側の容器本体１０の内壁と押圧規制部材４０との距離Ｌ1cは、上下方向の位置によらず一定とすることが好ましく、特に、容器本体１０の直線状部分１４側の内壁と押圧規制部材４０とを近接させるか、あるいはこれらの距離Ｌ1cをゼロとしてもよい。これにより、スクイズ容器１Ｈを片手で把持する場合に、弧状部分１３側に親指をかけ、直線状部分１４側に残りの指をかけることができ、さらに、容器本体１０を押圧する位置を親指で合わせるだけでよくなり、容器本体１０の正面と背面の双方で押圧位置を合わせることが不要となる。したがって、より簡便に所望の吐出量で内容液を定量吐出させることが可能となる。   Further, as in the case of the squeeze container 1H shown in FIG. 8, at least the vertical direction of the weighing scale 11 is used to form the vertical arrangement range of the weighing scale 11 smaller than the upper part 10a and the lower part 10b of the container body 10. In the arrangement range, the container shape is flattened so that the cross-sectional outer shape of the container body 10 forms a D-shape formed by the arcuate portion 13 and the linear portion 14, and the side surface of the container body 10 on the arcuate portion 13 side. A weighing scale 11 may be attached. In this case, the distance L1a between the inner wall of the container main body 10 on the arcuate portion 13 side and the pressing restricting member 40 varies according to the vertical position of the weighing scale 11, but the container main body 10 on the linear portion 14 side. The distance L1c between the inner wall of the container body 10 and the pressure regulating member 40 is preferably constant regardless of the position in the vertical direction, and in particular, whether the inner wall on the linear portion 14 side of the container body 10 and the pressure regulating member 40 are close to each other. Alternatively, these distances L1c may be zero. As a result, when holding the squeeze container 1H with one hand, the thumb can be placed on the arcuate portion 13 side, the remaining fingers can be placed on the linear portion 14 side, and the position where the container body 10 is pressed can be placed with the thumb. It is only necessary to match them, and it becomes unnecessary to match the pressing positions on both the front and back surfaces of the container body 10. Therefore, it is possible to discharge the content liquid quantitatively with a desired discharge amount more easily.

図８のスクイズ容器１Ｈのように容器形状を扁平させるにあたり、図９に示すように、容器本体１０の直線状部分１４側では押圧規制部材４０も横断面が直線状となるように扁平させてもよく、図１０に示すように、押圧規制部材４０の横断面形状をＵ字型とし、容器本体１０の直線状部分１４側では押圧規制部材４０の両側縁部４１が容器本体１０の内壁に突き当たるようにしてもよい。   When flattening the container shape like the squeeze container 1H of FIG. 8, as shown in FIG. 9, the pressure regulating member 40 is also flattened so that the cross section is linear on the linear portion 14 side of the container body 10. As shown in FIG. 10, the cross-sectional shape of the pressing restricting member 40 is U-shaped, and both side edges 41 of the pressing restricting member 40 are formed on the inner wall of the container main body 10 on the linear portion 14 side of the container main body 10. You may make it hit.

図１１のスクイズ容器１Ｉは、円筒状の容器本体１０の横断面外形形状をＤ字型に扁平させることなく容器本体１０の側面の正面側のみに計量目盛１１を付し、円筒状の押圧規制部材４０を、計量目盛１１が付してある容器本体１０の正面側と反対側の背面側に近接又は接触させて設けたものである。これによっても、上述のスクイズ容器１Ｈの親指だけで押圧位置を合わせる効果を得ることができる。   The squeeze container 1I shown in FIG. 11 is provided with a weighing scale 11 only on the front side of the side surface of the container body 10 without flattening the outer shape of the cross section of the cylindrical container body 10 into a D-shape, so The member 40 is provided close to or in contact with the back side opposite to the front side of the container body 10 to which the weighing scale 11 is attached. Also by this, the effect which matches a press position only with the thumb of the above-mentioned squeeze container 1H can be acquired.

本発明は、さらに種々の態様をとることができる。例えば、図１２に示すスクイズ容器１Ｊのように、筒状の押圧規制部材４０の軸方向にスリット４２を設けてもよい。これにより、計量目盛１１の配列上を押圧した場合に、容器本体１０の押圧変形量が、容器本体１０と押圧規制部材４０とが接触する十分量となったときには、スリット４２が閉じる感覚を得られるので、それを目安に容器本体１０を押圧することができる。   The present invention can take various modes. For example, as in the squeeze container 1J shown in FIG. 12, a slit 42 may be provided in the axial direction of the cylindrical pressure regulating member 40. Thereby, when pressing on the arrangement of the weighing scales 11, when the amount of pressing deformation of the container main body 10 becomes a sufficient amount that the container main body 10 and the pressing restricting member 40 come into contact with each other, a feeling of closing the slit 42 is obtained. Therefore, the container main body 10 can be pressed by using it as a guide.

また、図１３に示すスクイズ容器１Ｋのように押圧規制部材４０の計量目盛１１側表面に軸方向にリブ４３を形成してもよい。これにより、計量目盛１１の配列上を押圧した場合に、容器本体１０の押圧変形量が、容器本体１０と押圧規制部材４０とが接触する十分量となったときには、リブ４３に到達した感覚を得られるので、それを目安に容器本体１０を押圧することができる。   Moreover, you may form the rib 43 in the axial direction on the measurement scale 11 side surface of the press control member 40 like the squeeze container 1K shown in FIG. Thereby, when the amount of pressing deformation of the container main body 10 becomes a sufficient amount that the container main body 10 and the pressure regulating member 40 come into contact with each other when the weighing scale 11 is pressed, the sense of reaching the rib 43 is felt. Since it is obtained, the container main body 10 can be pressed using it as a guide.

このスリット４２やリブ４３は、上述のスクイズ容器１Ａ〜１Ｉのいずれにも設けることができる。   The slits 42 and the ribs 43 can be provided in any of the squeeze containers 1A to 1I described above.

本発明のスクイズ容器は、ノズルキャップ２０の吐出孔の大きさ、形状等を適宜変えることにより、種々の内容液に対して使用することができ、例えば、ノズルキャップ２０の吐出孔の大きさを１〜１０ｍｍとした場合に、粘度１〜１００００ｍPa・ｓ（２０℃）の洗濯用洗剤、柔軟剤、漂白剤、自動食器洗い洗剤等の定量吐出に好適に使用することができる。   The squeeze container of the present invention can be used for various liquid contents by appropriately changing the size and shape of the discharge hole of the nozzle cap 20, for example, the size of the discharge hole of the nozzle cap 20.
