It is a top view which shows other embodiment of the attachment / detachment tool for dispensers according to this invention.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described more specifically with reference to the drawings.
In FIGS. 1A to 1C, reference numeral 1 denotes an embodiment of a detachable tool for a dispenser (hereinafter referred to as “tool”) according to the present invention, and the tool 1 is attached to the dispenser 30. Represents the state placed on the floor.

  Here, the dispenser 30 to which the tool 1 of this embodiment is attached will be described. The discharger 30 is attached to a container such as a shampoo, a rinse, and a hairstyling agent, and includes a cap 31, a pressing head 33, a cylinder 35, and a suction pipe 37.

  The cap 31 has a threaded portion 34 that fits a threaded portion provided at the mouth of a container (not shown) that contains contents such as liquid on its inner peripheral surface, and engages the threaded portions with each other. Is attached to the container.

  The discharger 30 held at the mouth of the container by the cap 31 repeatedly presses the pressing head 33 to suck and press the liquid in the container housing space through the suction pipe 37 and the cylinder 35 and pressurize it. It can be discharged from the nozzle 33 a of the head 33.

  A fitting convex part 39 is provided on the bottom surface 31 a of the cap 31. Here, the “bottom surface 31a of the cap 31” is an end surface located on the container side when the cap 31 is attached to the container. In the present embodiment, the fitting convex portion 39 is formed by a plurality of protrusions provided at intervals in the circumferential direction of the cap 31. Further, an outer cap 32 that surrounds and covers the cap 31 is provided outside the cap 31 while exposing the fitting convex portion 39. The outer cap 32 is rotatably held with respect to the cap 31. Thereby, when removing the discharger 30 held at the mouth of the container, the cap 31 cannot be loosened even if the outer cap 32 is rotated, so that unauthorized removal of the discharger 30 is prevented.

Below, the tool 1 of this embodiment is demonstrated.
FIG. 2 shows the tool 1, (a) is a perspective view, (b) is a plan view, (c) is a front view, (d) is a side view, e) is a rear view, and (f) is a bottom view.

  The tool 1 has a side wall 5 that surrounds the cap 31 leaving a side opening 3 that serves as an attachment port to the cap 31. The inner peripheral surface 5 a of the side wall 5 is provided with a fitting concave portion 7 corresponding to the fitting convex portion 39 described above. In this embodiment, the fitting recess 7 protrudes inward from the lower end of the inner peripheral surface 5a of the side wall 5 and has a plate shape, and the protruding tip (the inner edge of the fitting recess 7) is a figure. As shown in FIG. 2 (f), the projections 7a are provided at three locations in the bottom view. The shape of the fitting recess 7 is not particularly limited as long as it is fitted to the fitting protrusion 39 of the cap 31 and can rotate the cap 31 together with the tool 1. Therefore, for example, the shape of the fitting recess 7 can be a shape that forms a part of a regular polygon in plan view. When the discharger 30 is removed from the container, the tool 1 is attached from the side of the cap 31 with the side opening 3 as an attachment port, the fitting convex part 39 and the fitting concave part 7 are fitted together, and the tool 1 and the cap are attached. By rotating 31, the dispenser 30 can be removed. In addition, what is necessary is just to follow the procedure contrary to this, in order to attach the discharge device 30 to a container.

  The side wall 5 includes a curved surface portion 9 facing the side opening 3 along the peripheral wall of the cap 31 in a mounted state, and a pair of flat surface portions 11 extending from both sides of the curved surface portion 9. The end is an end face 13 of the side opening 3.

  At least a part of the outer peripheral surface 5b of the side wall 5 and the end surface 13 of the side opening 3 is provided with an inclined plane. In this embodiment, the outer periphery of the end surface 13 of the side opening 3 and the curved surface portion 9 of the side wall 5 is provided. Inclined planes 15 a, 15 b, and 15 c are provided on the surface and the outer peripheral surface of the plane portion 11 of the pair of side walls 5.

  The inclined flat surfaces 15 a, 15 b, and 15 c are inclined in a direction that tapers from the bottom surface 31 a side to the top surface side of the cap 31 when attached to the cap 31. That is, the inclined flat surfaces 15a, 15b, and 15c are inclined inward from the bottom surface 17a of the tool 1 toward the top surface 17b that is an end surface on the opposite side.

  FIGS. 1A to 1C show a situation in which the dispenser 30 is removed using the tool 1 having the above-described configuration and placed on the floor surface S so that the nozzle 33a faces upward. FIG. 1A shows a situation where the inclined plane 15a provided on the end face 13 of the side opening 3 is placed on the floor surface S so as to be in contact with the ground, and FIG. FIG. 1C is a diagram illustrating a situation where the inclined plane 15b is placed on the floor surface S so as to be grounded, and FIG. 1C is a diagram illustrating the situation where the inclined plane 15c provided on the plane portion 11 is grounded. It is a figure which shows the situation. On the other hand, in FIG. 1D, for comparison, a tool 50 not provided with an inclined plane is attached to the cap 31 of the same dispenser 30 as in FIGS. It is a figure which shows the condition put on the floor surface S so that the end surface 53 may earth | ground. That is, the outer peripheral surface of the side wall 55 of the tool 50 and the end surface 53 of the side opening extend in parallel with the central axis C of the cap 31 from the bottom surface 31a side of the cap 31 toward the top surface side in a state of being attached to the cap 31. ing. As shown in FIG. 1D, the suction pipe 37 of the discharger 30 to which the tool 50 is attached extends almost in parallel with the floor surface S, and the liquid content drips from the tip 37a of the suction pipe 37, and the floor surface S. There is a risk that it will adhere to.

  As shown in FIGS. 1A to 1C, when the dispenser 30 to which the tool 1 of the present embodiment is attached is placed on the floor S so that the inclined planes 15a, 15b, and 15c are grounded, The suction pipe 37 of the discharger 30 is higher on the tip 37a side than the cap 31 side (the distance from the floor surface is longer), so the content liquid adhering to the suction pipe 37 is difficult to move to the tip 37a side. The dripping from 37a can be suppressed. Moreover, since it contacts the floor surface S with a flat surface instead of a curved surface, it can be placed in a stable state, and dripping can be more reliably suppressed.

  Moreover, since the tool 1 of this embodiment provided the inclined plane 15a, 15b, 15c in each of the end surface 13 of the side part opening 3, the outer peripheral surface of the curved-surface part 9, and the outer peripheral surface of a pair of plane part 11, either Compared to the case where an inclined plane is provided only at one place, it becomes easier to place the inclined planes 15a, 15b, 15c in contact with the floor surface S, and the effect of suppressing dripping can be obtained more reliably. Can do.

  Moreover, the tool 1 of this embodiment is provided with the protrusion part 19 which protrudes from the top | upper surface 17b. A through hole 20 is formed in the protrusion 19. The outer surface of the projecting portion 19 extends continuously from an inclined plane 15 b provided on the curved surface portion 9 of the side wall 5. For this reason, the stability when the area of the inclined plane 15b is enlarged and the inclined plane 15b is placed so as to be grounded can be improved. Further, the through-hole 20 formed in the protruding portion 19 can be used to hang on the wall using a hook member or the like when not in use. Further, when the operator carries the tool 1 in the refilling work, it is possible to prevent the tool 1 from being lost by fixing it to the operator's clothes with a string-like member or the like.

  Moreover, the tool 1 of this embodiment has the rolling prevention rib 21 extended in the curved surface part 9 direction following the outer peripheral surface (inclined plane 15c) of a pair of plane part 11. FIG. Since the center of gravity of the tool 1 is shifted toward the curved surface 9 side rather than the side opening 3 side, when the tool 1 is placed so that the outer peripheral surface (inclined plane 15c) of the flat surface portion 11 is in contact with the floor surface S, Although it is easy to roll toward the curved surface portion 9 side (the direction of arrow A in FIG. 1B), this can be prevented by the prevention rib 21, so that the effect of increasing stability and suppressing dripping is further improved. be able to.

The tool 101 which is other embodiment of this invention is shown in FIG.
In the tool 101 shown in FIG. 3, the outer peripheral surfaces (inclined planes) 115 c constituting the pair of flat portions 111 of the side wall 105 are directed from the curved surface portion 109 side to the side opening 103 side of the side wall 105. It is formed so that the distance between the outer peripheral surfaces of the two becomes shorter. That is, with respect to the distance between the outer peripheral surfaces (inclined planes) 115c of the pair of flat portions 111 shown in FIG. 3, the distance w1 on the side opening 103 side is smaller than the distance w2 on the curved surface portion 109 side. When the tool 101 is placed so that the outer peripheral surface (inclined plane) 115c of one flat surface portion 111 is in contact with the floor surface S, the tool 101 is inclined to the side opening 103 side, and therefore the curved surface portion 109 side (in FIG. 3). Rolling in the direction of arrow B) can be suppressed, stability can be further improved, and the dripping suppression effect can be improved.

  As mentioned above, although embodiment of the attachment / detachment tool for dispensers concerning this invention was described, according to this invention, various changes can be made, without being limited to the above-mentioned embodiment. For example, the position and angle of the inclined plane provided on the tool can be appropriately changed according to the shape of the dispenser to which the tool is attached.

  According to the present invention, when refilling the contents, the dispenser removed from the container can be stably placed on the floor or the table, and the dripping of the content liquid adhering to the dispenser is suppressed. It is possible to provide a detachable tool for a dispenser that can be used.
