Description

  The present invention relates to a quantitative dispensing container capable of dispensing a predetermined amount of a content such as a hair restorer and applying it to an object such as a scalp.

  As a container that quantifies a certain amount of the contents of the container and dispenses a necessary amount, for example, by screwing the shell member into a base fixed to the mouth of the container, ) To form a quantitative space with the base (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

Registered Utility Model No. 2507270

  In such a conventional container, after the shell member is lifted to form a quantitative space, the container is turned upside down to quantitatively determine the contents from the container, and then the elastic valve is protruded from the outlet hole of the shell member. Quantitative dispensing is possible by pressing.

  Therefore, the inventor of the present application has come up with the idea of adopting a so-called squeeze container that can be deformed and restored as a filling container for contents.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a novel quantitative dispensing container that enables quantitative dispensing of contents without complicated operations such as turning the container upside down.

The fixed volume dispensing container of the present invention accommodates a volume-reducible inner layer body in a space formed inside the outer layer body, and is configured integrally with a base fixed to the mouth of the inner layer body,
While inserting the pipe hanging from this base into the filling space of the inner layer body,
Standing up the peripheral wall surrounding the cylindrical part together with the cylindrical part leading to the filling space of the inner layer body through the pipe from the top wall of the base,
A shell member that forms a space for quantifying the content from the pipe is screwed to the peripheral wall so that the shell member can be advanced and retracted, and the quantification space has a tip that penetrates an extraction hole formed in the shell member. An elastic valve that can open and close the pouring hole by an urging force toward the hole is arranged,
The inner layer body can be pressed through the outer layer body.

  In addition, according to the present invention, the shell member can be provided with a pair of protrusions from the shell member, and the protrusions can be configured as operation pieces for rotating the shell member.

  Further, the shell member may be transparent or opaque, but according to the present invention, the shell member can be made transparent or translucent.

  According to the present invention, the inner layer body is reduced in volume by forming an opening in the side wall of the outer layer body, and bulging one end of the member that is cantilevered inside the outer layer body and exposing it from the opening. It can be set as the press piece for making it.

  According to the present invention, a pressing piece for reducing the volume of the inner layer body can be provided on the side wall of the outer layer body by forming a tongue piece with a slit.

  According to the present invention, by rotating the shell member clockwise or counterclockwise about the axis, the elastic valve is moved forward (raised) away from the base to close the outlet hole of the shell member. For example, the quantitative space formed between the base and the outside can be communicated to the outside world. As a result, air can be circulated between the quantitative space and the outside world.

  Next, when the inner layer body is pressed through the outer layer body, the content filled in the inner layer body is pumped from the pipe to the fixed amount space through the cylindrical body portion. The amount of contents pumped at this time is quantitative according to the pressing force of the inner layer body through the outer layer body.

  That is, according to the present invention, the contents can be quantitatively poured out without performing an operation such as turning the container upside down.

  After the quantification of the contents is completed and the pouring from the pouring hole becomes possible, the pouring hole can be closed by the elastic valve by rotating the shell member backward around the axis. As a result, a fixed amount of content can be poured into the portion only by pressing the tip of the elastic valve protruding from the dispensing hole with the container upside down against the portion to be dispensed.

  Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible to quantitatively dispense contents without performing a complicated operation such as turning the container upside down.

  In addition, according to the present invention, the container filled with contents is used as an inner layer body, and is stored inside the outer layer body. Therefore, there are containers having difficulty in shape retention such as thin-walled containers represented by bags and the like. It can be employed as an inner layer body.

  In addition, according to the present invention, if the shell member is provided with a pair of projecting portions from the shell member, and the projecting portions are used as operation pieces for rotating the shell member, the shell member can be easily rotated. Therefore, an easier operation can be realized.

  Furthermore, if the shell member is transparent or translucent, the content quantified through the shell member can be seen through. According to this configuration, in addition to the tactile sensation obtained by the user pressing, the contents from the container can be quantified visually. Therefore, it is effective for accurate quantification.

  According to the present invention, the inner layer body is reduced in volume by forming an opening in the side wall of the outer layer body, and bulging one end of the member that is cantilevered inside the outer layer body and exposing it from the opening. If it is set as the pressing piece for making it, the pressing force and operativity according to a user's request | requirement and a use can be implement | achieved by changing suitably the member supported by the inner side of the outer layer body.

  Further, according to the present invention, the number of parts can be reduced by forming a tongue piece with a slit on the side wall of the outer layer body to form a pressing piece for reducing the volume of the inner layer body.
