Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the problem that it is not easy to completely take out and use the contents in a tube container since there is a remained portion at a nozzle section of the tube container at the time of manually pushing the tube container to the last.SOLUTION: In a method and a structure for a tube last-getter, a receiving plate is arranged in a spouting direction by vertically setting the tube container completely used with a normal method at an internal surface of a dryer of a household washing machine so as to make a spouting direction of the tube container face to the outside, the last portion of the contents in the tube container can be pulled out by using centrifugal force of the dryer. Also, a method for storing the pulled-out content is provided.

Description

The present invention relates to a method and a tool for taking out the remainder after being pushed out by a normal hand-extruding method with toothpaste in a tube container and other cosmetics, drugs, and epoxy adhesives in a tube container.

  Daily life goods in tube containers are used for a wide variety of products such as toothpaste, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. However, even though it was going to be pushed out to the end by hand, the nozzle part and the part that could not be pushed by hand remained, and that part was thrown away as garbage. As a method of taking out, there was a method in which the bottom part of the tube container was pinched by hand with the cap and swung to push the fluid to the nozzle side, and then the lid was opened and pushed out. However, weak people such as elderly people could not make enough. It was structurally impossible for a powerful person to take out the nozzle residue at a time. In addition, it is very difficult to use a small metal tube or a highly viscous one. There is another method of picking it up with an earpick, but this can only deal with the nozzle part, and the corners of the tube near the nozzle have not reached. Also, there was no method considered for its storage.

  The problem to be solved was that there was no way to remove the nozzle part and the part that could not be pushed by hand, even if it was going to be pushed out by hand in the tube container. It is in.

The present invention is such that a tube container that has been used in a normal manner can be set on the inner surface of a dehydrator of a household washing machine so that the direction of the ejection can be set perpendicularly to the inner surface of the dehydrator so that the ejection direction is directed outward. And a method for taking out the last remaining in the tube container by the centrifugal force of the dehydrator, a method for storing it, and a structure thereof. The structure includes a hemispherical saucer with a magnet for attaching the main body to the inner surface of the dehydrator (a structure that can be connected to the upper part) a1, and parts for fixing the tube container to the upper part of the saucer (a3, a4 in FIG. 2 or It consists of b1) of FIG. A3 and a4 in FIG. 2 correspond to tube containers of various types, large and small, within a settable range in a general case. As a fixing method, the nozzle part is fixed with a hole, and the body part is fastened to the guide rod with a rubber band, a rubber band or the like as a fall prevention and a fall prevention. B1 in FIG. 7 has a small structure to which a tube fixing attachment port having a structure matched to the tube nozzle port is added exclusively for each tube container, and corresponds only to the target tube. In addition, there is a closed lid (a7 in FIG. 3) for storage in a form that is easy to use after removal.
In addition, the following three methods have been devised as methods for not directly polluting the saucer. 1. A method for obtaining a sheet of salan wrap or the like on a sheet such as a salan wrap by setting a sheet of salan wrap over the tube nozzle opening into a slender bag shape and setting the bag with sufficient margin so that the bag swells in a tray (FIG. 4). 2. Dedicated mini-poly bag with a chuck (Fig. 6) (thinned at the middle of the bag to fit the hole in the tube fixing part) is placed through the tube nozzle port, passing through the hole in the tube fixing part, and the lower part of the bag swells in the tray The method of setting and acquiring in a bag (FIG. 5). 3. A method of separately preparing a dedicated disposable saucer (a2 in FIG. 2 or FIG. 7) such as transparent PET that fits on the saucer and obtaining it on the disposable saucer (FIGS. 2 and 7). The structures of the two or three dedicated mini-poly bags with a chuck (FIG. 6) and the dedicated disposable tray (a2 in FIGS. 2 and 7) are also the present invention.
It should be noted that when storing the contents of the tray, it is necessary to prevent the unrelated parts such as magnets from adversely affecting the storage of the acquired contents, and to simplify the structure of the tray that serves as the replacement part when acquiring the other tube contents. The present invention also has a structure in which a non-existing part (magnet part or the like) can be separated by a screw or the like. (FIGS. 8, 9, and 10)
Next, as a countermeasure in the case of a dehydrator whose rotating part wall surface is not a magnetic material, a commercially available magnet receiving plate or the like (round type or square type is available on the dehydrator rotating part wall surface corresponding to the mounting magnet part. If in doubt, apply resin coating, etc.) using an appropriate method (rust-proof and water-resistant wood screws, strong double-sided tape, adhesive, etc.). Thus, the present invention also includes a method in which the wall surface of the rotating part can be attached in the same manner as a dehydrator whose magnetic surface is a magnetic body.

There is a range in the amount remaining depending on the last extrusion method in the tube container, but there is a remaining amount that can be used in any case, and it can be acquired with little energy, reducing the amount of garbage and effectively using resources. .
The actual case is shown below.
