Description

  The present invention relates to a discharge container.

  Today, a discharge container is used for storing a desired fluid in a container and taking out an appropriate amount of the fluid. Further, as such a discharge container, for example, a nozzle push-in type discharge container that ejects fluid in the container by pushing a nozzle head is known.

  Such a nozzle push-in type discharge container generally includes a container for storing a fluid therein and a pump dispenser attached to an opening of the container. In such a nozzle pushing type discharge container, generally, a nozzle head provided in a pump dispenser is pushed downward from above, and fluid is ejected from a discharge port connected to the nozzle head by pressing the fluid in the cylinder. Further, as the discharge container, a pump former is also known in which the fluid stored in the container is made to be foamed and ejected from the discharge port.

  As such nozzle push-in type discharge containers, there are also those equipped with a handle portion for supporting a finger during use in order to improve work reliability and the like. As a discharge container provided with such a handle portion, for example, a spray container (see JP 2010-269253 A) has been proposed. This spray container has a handle portion protruding in an inverted U shape from the upper wall of the container. The spray container has a vertical portion in which the handle portion extends vertically from the upper wall of the container, and a return portion that is bent from the tip of the vertical portion and extends downward. This spray container supports the index finger and middle finger placed in the handle, and presses the thumb against the nozzle head to push down the fluid in the container.The palm is supported around the container while the container is supported from below. Since the nozzle head can be easily pulled down, the nozzle head can be easily pulled down.

  However, since the spray container is used by placing the index finger and the middle finger in the handle and pressing the thumb against the nozzle head as described above, the container is held by the ring finger and the little finger. Therefore, since this spray container takes time and labor to put the index finger and middle finger into the handle part, it lacks speed of operation, and the container is gripped by the ring finger and the little finger, so that the container can be securely used during use. However, the problem is that the reliability of work is inferior.

JP 2010-269253 A

  This invention is made | formed in view of such a situation, and it aims at provision of the discharge container excellent in the quickness and reliability of an operation | work.

The invention made to solve the above problems is
A discharge container comprising a container having an opening at the top and a pump dispenser attached to the opening of the container,
The container has a bottomed cylindrical container body, and an engagement protrusion that protrudes radially and rearward from the upper side wall of the container body,
In the discharge container, the entire lower surface of the engagement protrusion is positioned below the lowermost portion of the opening.

  In the discharge container, the engaging protrusion protrudes in the radial direction from the upper part of the side wall of the container body, and the entire lower surface of the engaging protrusion is located below the lowermost part of the opening. With the crotch portion of the user's thumb and index finger locked on the lower surface of the protrusion, the container body is sandwiched between the palm of the user and securely held by the four fingers of the thumb, middle finger, ring finger, and little finger. be able to. The discharge container can be securely held by the user only by locking the crotch portion of the user's thumb and forefinger to the lower surface of the engagement protrusion, so that the work can be performed quickly and reliably. Is excellent.

  The discharge container may have a first inclined surface in which a lower surface of the engagement protrusion is inclined in the radial direction and upward. Thereby, the crotch part of a thumb and an index finger can be reliably latched by the 1st inclined surface.

  In the discharge container, the lower surface of the engagement protrusion may have a second inclined surface that is connected to the first inclined surface and is inclined in the radial direction and downward. Thereby, the movement with respect to the radial direction of the container main body of the crotch part of the thumb and the index finger is controlled, and the quickness, reliability and safety of the work can be improved.

  The said discharge container is good to have the 3rd inclined surface which the upper part front side wall of the said container main body inclined in radial direction and toward the upper end. This allows the user to securely hold the container body in a state where the middle finger is attached to the upper side of the third inclined surface and the ring finger is attached to the vicinity of the bottom of the third inclined surface. Certainty and safety can be further improved.

  In the discharge container, the lowermost part of the opening and the upper surface of the engagement protrusion are preferably formed at substantially the same height. Thereby, while improving the quickness and certainty of an operation | work, designability can be improved.

  The discharge container has a base in which the pump dispenser is fitted in the opening of the container, a nozzle head that is elastically mounted so as to be pushed into the base, and a discharge port disposed on the side of the nozzle head. And it is good to be comprised so that the fluid in a container may be ejected from a discharge outlet by pushing operation of a nozzle head. The discharge container has a crotch portion between the user's thumb and forefinger locked from below by the engaging protrusion. As a result, when the user pushes the nozzle head with the index finger, the container is left and right in the vertical direction. It is reliably supported in the direction. Therefore, the discharge container has a structure suitable for the user to securely hold the container body and then the user to push the nozzle head with the index finger, and is excellent in work reliability. Furthermore, since the discharge container locks the crotch portion of the user's thumb and index finger with the engagement protrusion, the orientation of the container and the pump dispenser connected to the container is fixed in the gripped state, and the fluid in the container Can be ejected from the discharge port in a predetermined direction. Therefore, the discharge container does not need to check the direction of the discharge port during use, and is excellent in speediness in addition to work reliability.

  The discharge container may have an absolute value of an angle of 110 ° or more and 170 ° or less in plan view between the ejection direction of the discharge port and the protruding direction of the engagement protrusion. Accordingly, when the fluid ejected from the ejection port is received by the palm that does not hold the ejection container, the index finger that pushes the nozzle head and the palm that receives the fluid are kept substantially parallel. Therefore, the discharge container can be suitably used only by naturally moving the hand holding the discharge container onto the palm that receives the fluid, and the ease of use can be improved.

  In the discharge container, the discharge direction of the discharge port may be inclined obliquely upward in the longitudinal section. Thereby, the ease at the time of receiving the fluid ejected from a discharge outlet with the palm which is not holding the said discharge container can further be improved.

  The discharge container may be a hair treatment agent discharge container. The hair treatment agent is usually ejected from the discharge container once to the palm and then stretched to a certain extent on the palm and then applied to a desired location. Therefore, when the discharge container is a hair treatment agent discharge container, it is possible to suitably improve the speed and reliability of work.

  The discharge container may be a pump former. Since the foam ejected from the pump former is slippery, it is difficult to securely hold the container when the foam adheres to the container or the like. In contrast, the discharge container is such that the crotch between the user's thumb and index finger is locked from below by the engaging protrusion, so that when the user pushes the nozzle head with the index finger, the container moves vertically. On the other hand, since it is reliably supported in the left-right direction, the speed and reliability of the work can be improved.

  In the present invention, the “rear” means a direction opposite to the ejection direction when the center plane of the container body and a virtual plane including a plane perpendicular to the ejection direction of the ejection port in a plan view is used as a reference. . The “absolute value of the angle in plan view between the ejection direction of the discharge port and the protruding direction of the engagement protrusion” is 0 when the ejection direction of the discharge port and the protrusion direction of the engagement protrusion match in plan view. Here, the value calculated from 0 ° to 180 ° when the discharge port rotates to the right and from 0 ° to −180 ° when the discharge port rotates to the left is assumed. Further, “the ejection direction of the discharge port is inclined obliquely upward in the longitudinal section” means that the ejection direction of the ejection port and the bottom wall of the container body are parallel to each other in the longitudinal section. When the ejection direction of the outlet and the bottom wall of the container body are perpendicular to each other in the longitudinal section, the ejection direction of the discharge port is larger than 0 ° and smaller than 90 °.

  As described above, the discharge container of the present invention can improve the speed and certainty of work.

The entire lower surface 9 of the engaging protrusion 5 is formed so as to be positioned below the lowermost portion of the opening 7 (the upper wall 6 in the present embodiment). The engaging protrusion 5 is formed integrally with the container body 4 by the same material as the container body 4. The lowermost portion of the opening 7 (the upper wall 6 in the present embodiment) and the upper surface of the engagement protrusion 5 are formed at substantially the same height. As shown in FIG. 2, the engagement protrusion 5 is formed so as to gradually become narrower from the side wall of the container body 4 in the protruding direction. The protrusion length D of the engagement protrusion 5 is not particularly limited, but is preferably 2.5 cm or more and 3.5 cm or less.

  The lower surface 9 is provided with a first inclined surface 10 that is provided continuously with the side wall of the container body 4 and is inclined in the radial direction and upward, and a second inclined surface 11 that is provided continuously with the first inclined surface 10 and is inclined in the radial direction and downward. have.

The pump dispenser 3 is detachably fitted to the container 2 by screwing the inner periphery of the flange portion 16 provided below the base 14 and the opening 7 of the container body 4.

  The pump dispenser 3 is configured to foam the fluid in the container 2 from the discharge port 13 by pushing the nozzle head 12. Specifically, the nozzle head 12 is disposed so as to be slidable in the direction of the central axis of the base 14, and is elastically biased in a protruding direction by a spring (not shown) disposed in the cylinder 15. . In the pump dispenser 3, the fluid stored in the cylinder 15 is pressed by the pushing operation of the nozzle head 12 and ejected from the discharge port 13. On the other hand, in the pump dispenser 13, the inside of the cylinder 15 becomes negative pressure due to the nozzle head 12 being ejected in the protruding direction, and the fluid in the container 2 is sucked into the cylinder 15.

  The absolute value of the angle α in plan view between the ejection direction of the discharge port 13 and the protruding direction of the engagement protrusion 5 is not particularly limited, but is preferably 110 ° or more and 170 ° or less.

<How to use the discharge container 1>
Next, with reference to FIG. 5, the usage method of the discharge container 1 is demonstrated. FIG. 5 illustrates a case where the discharge container 1 is gripped with the right hand of the user (when the discharge container 1 is for the right hand).

  First, how to hold the discharge container 1 will be described. When gripping the discharge container 1, the user brings the crotch portion of the thumb and index finger into contact with the lower surface 9 of the engagement protrusion 5. Then, the user attaches the last finger of the index finger to the upper surface of the nozzle head 12. Specifically, the user attaches the index finger to the upper surface of the nozzle head 12 so that the portion where the index finger is attached fits in the recess 17 of the nozzle head 12. In addition, the user puts the middle finger on the upper wall 6, puts the ring finger near the bottom of the third inclined surface 8 and sandwiches the little finger on the side wall below the third inclined surface 8 while sandwiching the container body 4 with the palm. Attach to.

  Then, the case where the fluid stored in the container 2 is ejected using the discharge container 1 is demonstrated.

  The user holds the discharge container 1 at a predetermined interval so that the palm of the left hand is directed upward and the palm and the ejection direction of the discharge port 13 are substantially perpendicular. Then, the user pushes the nozzle head 12 to eject the fluid from the discharge port 13 and receives it with the left hand.

<advantage>
In the discharge container 1, the engaging protrusion 5 protrudes in the radial direction from the upper part of the side wall of the container body 4, and the entire lower surface 9 of the engaging protrusion 5 is positioned below the lowermost part of the opening 7. Therefore, the container main body 4 is sandwiched between the palm of the user with the crotch portion of the user's thumb and index finger locked to the lower surface of the engagement protrusion 5, and the thumb, middle finger, ring finger, and little finger The four fingers can be securely held. Since the discharge container 1 can securely hold the container body 4 only by locking the crotch portion of the user's thumb and forefinger to the lower surface 9 of the engagement protrusion 5, the operation can be performed quickly. Excellent in reliability and reliability.

  The discharge container 1 is such that the crotch portion between the user's thumb and forefinger is locked from below by the engagement protrusion 5, so that when the user pushes the nozzle head 12 with the index finger, the container body 4 is moved in the vertical direction. It is reliably supported in both the left and right directions. Therefore, the discharge container 1 has a structure suitable for the user to securely hold the container body 4 and then the user to push the nozzle head 12 with the index finger. ing. Further, since the discharge container 1 locks the crotch portion of the user's thumb and forefinger to the engagement protrusion 5, the direction of the container 2 and the pump dispenser 3 connected to the container 2 is fixed in the gripped state. The fluid in the container 2 can be ejected from the discharge port 13 in a predetermined direction. Therefore, the discharge container 1 does not need to confirm the direction of the discharge port 13 when in use, and is excellent in speediness in addition to work reliability.

  In the discharge container 1, the lowermost portion of the opening 7 and the upper surface of the engaging protrusion 5 are formed at substantially the same height, so that the user's index finger can be easily attached to the nozzle head 12 and the positions of other fingers The structure is also easily fixed. Therefore, the discharge container 1 can improve the speed and reliability of work. Moreover, according to this configuration, the discharge container 1 can improve the design.

  In the discharge container 1, since the lower surface 9 of the engagement protrusion 5 has the first inclined surface 10, the crotch portion between the thumb and the index finger can be easily and reliably locked by the first inclined surface 10. it can.

  In the discharge container 1, the lower surface 9 of the engagement protrusion 5 has the second inclined surface 11 connected to the first inclined surface 10, so that the diameter of the container body 4 at the crotch portion between the thumb and the index finger is provided. The movement with respect to the direction is controlled, and the speed, reliability and safety of the work can be improved.

  In the discharge container 1, the upper front portion of the side wall of the container main body 4 has the third inclined surface 8, so that the middle finger is attached to the upper wall 6 of the container main body 4, and near the bottom of the third inclined surface 8. The container body 4 can be surely gripped by the user with the ring finger attached, and the speed of work, reliability and safety can be further improved.

  In the discharge container 1, the average inclination angle with respect to the side wall of the third inclined surface 8 is in the above range, and the length of the line segment connecting the top and bottom at the front end of the side wall of the third inclined surface 8 is in the above range. Therefore, the container 2 can be more easily and reliably gripped by the user in a state where the middle finger is attached to the upper wall 6 of the container body 4 and the ring finger is attached to the vicinity of the bottom of the third inclined surface 8. .

  Since the absolute value of the angle α in the plan view of the ejection direction of the ejection port 13 and the protruding direction of the engagement protrusion 5 is in the above range, the ejection container 1 ejects the fluid ejected from the ejection port 13. When the container 1 is received by the palm that does not hold the container 1, the index finger that pushes the nozzle head 12 and the palm that receives the fluid are kept substantially parallel. Therefore, the discharge container 1 can be suitably used by simply moving the hand holding the discharge container 1 naturally onto the palm that receives the fluid, and the ease of use can be improved.

  In the discharge container 1, since the ejection direction of the discharge port 13 is inclined obliquely upward in the longitudinal section, the ease of receiving the fluid ejected from the discharge port 13 with the palm that does not hold the discharge container 1. Can be further improved.

  In the discharge container 1, the angle γ between the ejection direction of the discharge port 13 and the protruding direction of the nozzle head 12 in the vertical cross section is within the above range, so the hand holding the discharge container 1 is placed in front of the body. The discharge port 13 can be directed to the palm of the hand not holding the discharge container 1 simply by moving it naturally. Therefore, the discharge container 1 can further improve the ease of work.

  In the discharge container 1, the angle δ between the front and rear direction of the bottom wall of the container 2 and the protruding direction of the nozzle head 12 in the longitudinal section is within the above range. The pushability of the nozzle head 12 in the locked state can be improved.

  In the discharge container 1, the distance H between the lower surface 9 of the engagement protrusion 5 and the upper surface of the nozzle head 12 is in the above range, so that the upper surface of the nozzle head 12 can be easily pushed in with an index finger.

  In addition, the hair treatment agent is usually sprayed from the discharge container once to the palm and then stretched to a certain degree on the palm and then applied to a desired location. Therefore, since the discharge container 1 is a hair treatment agent discharge container, it is possible to suitably improve the speed and reliability of the work.

  Furthermore, since the foam ejected from the pump former is slippery, it is difficult to reliably hold the container when the foam adheres to the container of the discharge container. On the other hand, when the user pushes the nozzle head 12 with the index finger, the discharge container 1 has the container 2 when the crotch between the user's thumb and index finger is locked from below by the engagement protrusion 5. Is reliably supported both in the vertical direction and in the horizontal direction, so that the speed and reliability of the work can be improved.

[Second Embodiment]
<Discharge container 21>
The discharge container 21 in FIG. 6 has a container 22 and a pump dispenser 3. About the pump dispenser 3, since it is the same as that of the discharge container 1 of FIG. 1, the same number is attached | subjected and description is abbreviate | omitted.

  The container 22 has a container main body 23 and an engagement protrusion 24. The container body 23 is formed in a bottomed cylindrical shape having a substantially annular upper wall 25 and an opening (not shown) erected from the inner periphery of the upper wall 25. The material for forming the container 22 can be the same as that of the container 2 of FIG. Further, the average diameter and average height of the container body 23 are the same as those of the container body 4 of FIG. The container main body 23 has a third inclined surface 26 whose upper front side of the side wall is inclined in the radial direction toward the upper end. The average inclination angle with respect to the side wall of the third inclined surface 26 and the length of the line segment connecting the top and bottom at the front end of the side wall of the third inclined surface 26 are the same as those of the discharge container 1 of FIG.

  The engagement protrusion 24 is formed to protrude from the upper portion of the side wall of the container body 23 in the radial direction and rearward. The entire lower surface 27 of the engaging protrusion 24 is formed so as to be positioned below the lowermost part of the opening. The engaging protrusion 24 is formed integrally with the container body 23 by the same material as the container body 23. The lowermost portion of the opening and the upper surface of the engagement protrusion 24 are formed at substantially the same height. The lower surface 27 of the engaging protrusion 24 is formed as a first inclined surface that is connected to the side wall of the container body 23 and is inclined in the radial direction and upward. The absolute value of the angle in plan view between the ejection direction of the discharge port 13 and the protruding direction of the engagement protrusion 24, the ejection direction of the discharge port 13 and the inclination angle of the discharge port 13, the ejection direction of the discharge port 13 in the longitudinal section and the nozzle head The angle between the projection direction of 12, the angle between the longitudinal direction of the bottom wall of the container 22 and the projection direction of the nozzle head 12 in the longitudinal section, and the distance between the lower surface 27 of the engagement protrusion 24 and the upper surface of the nozzle head 12 are as shown in FIG. This is the same as the discharge container 1.

<advantage>
As in the case of the discharge container 1 of FIG. 1, the discharge container 21 has a structure suitable for the user to securely hold the container 22 and then press the nozzle head 12 with the index finger. The certainty is excellent. Since the discharge container 21 locks the crotch portion of the user's thumb and index finger to the engagement protrusion 24, the orientation of the container 22 and the pump dispenser 3 connected to the container 22 is fixed in the gripping state. The fluid in 22 can be ejected from the discharge port 13 in a predetermined direction. Therefore, the discharge container 21 does not need to confirm the direction of the discharge port 13 during use, and is excellent in speediness in addition to work reliability.

[Other Embodiments]
In addition, the discharge container of this invention can be implemented in the aspect which gave various change and improvement other than the said aspect. For example, the discharge container is not necessarily a nozzle pushing-type discharge container, and may be a trigger-type discharge container that ejects fluid in the container by pulling the trigger toward the front. The discharge container is not necessarily a pump former as long as the fluid in the container is ejected from the discharge port. The container main body does not necessarily have an upper wall, and the opening and the side wall may be provided continuously. Moreover, as long as the container main body is formed in the bottomed cylindrical shape, it does not necessarily need to be formed in the bottomed cylindrical shape, and may be a bottomed polygonal cylindrical shape or the like. The engaging protrusion is only required to protrude radially and rearward from the upper part of the side wall of the container body, and the lowermost part of the opening of the engaging protrusion and the upper surface of the engaging protrusion are not necessarily formed at substantially the same height. It does not have to be. In the discharge container, the engagement protrusion is formed so as to protrude from the upper part of the side wall of the container main body, and the entire lower surface of the engagement protrusion is positioned below the lowermost part of the opening, whereby the lower surface of the engagement protrusion With the crotch portion of the user's thumb and index finger locked, the container body can be sandwiched between the user's palms and securely held by the four fingers of the thumb, middle finger, ring finger, and little finger. . Further, the engaging protrusions are not necessarily formed integrally with the container body, and may be connected after being manufactured separately.
