Description

本発明は、流体用の供給容器に関し、特に、本体を有し、本体の少なくとも一部が転位可能な周壁によって形成されており、本体を押さえると、容器内の内容物が本体の供給端から流出し、容器の供給端から遠ざかった端には、開放状を呈し内容物を充填可能な底部が設けられており、内容物が充填された容器は周壁と噛み合い可能な閉鎖構造により封鎖することが可能な供給容器に関するものである。 The present invention relates to a supply container for fluid, and in particular, has a main body, and at least a part of the main body is formed by a peripheral wall that can be displaced, and when the main body is pressed, the contents in the container are removed from the supply end of the main body. The end that flows out and away from the supply end of the container has an open bottom that can be filled with the contents, and the container filled with the contents is sealed by a closed structure that can mesh with the peripheral wall. The present invention relates to a supply container that can be used.

転位可能な周壁を有する流体用供給容器は、少なくとも一部の前記周壁が内側へ変形することが可能であり、これにより、供給用開口から流体を押出すことが可能であることは周知である。このような装置は、金属や合成樹脂で作製された周壁を含み、一般的には、一端側に供給用開口が設けられ、他端側に充填用開口が設けられている。供給用開口は、フィルム等で封止されており、フィルムをピアース(穴あけ)すると、供給通路が開けられる。なお、充填用開口は、流体を充填した後、巻き、折畳み、又は挿入具を挿入することによって閉鎖される。挿入具を挿入することによって充填用開口を閉鎖する方式は、外周壁の開口端の変形抵抗能力が十分である場合だけに、前記挿入具を有効に保持することが可能である。しかし、外周壁の開口端の変形抵抗能力が十分である場合には、外周壁がより硬くなるため、周壁を押しても流体を供給用開口から供給することが困難となる。周壁を容易に変形させることが可能な供給容器は、化粧品、歯磨き、隙間充填剤、医薬品、粘着剤、食品などに広く利用されており、一般的には、容器又は容器の一部を押さえることにより、流体を供給用開口から押出すことができる。 It is well known that a fluid supply container having a displaceable peripheral wall allows at least a part of the peripheral wall to be deformed inward, whereby fluid can be pushed out from the supply opening. . Such an apparatus includes a peripheral wall made of metal or synthetic resin. Generally, a supply opening is provided on one end side, and a filling opening is provided on the other end side. The supply opening is sealed with a film or the like, and when the film is pierced (perforated), the supply passage is opened. The filling opening is closed by winding, folding, or inserting an insertion tool after filling the fluid. The method of closing the filling opening by inserting the insertion tool can hold the insertion tool effectively only when the deformation resistance capability of the opening end of the outer peripheral wall is sufficient. However, when the deformation resistance capability of the opening end of the outer peripheral wall is sufficient, the outer peripheral wall becomes harder, so that it is difficult to supply fluid from the supply opening even if the peripheral wall is pushed. Supply containers whose peripheral walls can be easily deformed are widely used in cosmetics, toothpastes, gap fillers, pharmaceuticals, adhesives, foods, etc., and generally hold down a container or part of a container. Thus, the fluid can be pushed out from the supply opening.

本発明において、「流体」とは、液体だけではなく、ゲル、乳剤、化合物およびその他の材料を含む内容物を意味する。広く使用されているものの一例としては、粘着剤の供給容器である。このような供給容器は、硬い金属製の周壁を有する容器であり、例えば特許文献１の米国特許第５６４９６４８号が提案されている。この特許には、アルミ合金製のチューブに変形部が設けられており、その開口端を挿入具によって閉鎖する構成が示されている。特許文献２の米国特許第５７９９８２９号及び特許文献３の米国特許第６７２６０６０号には、上記のものに似ている構成を有する容器が記載されている。このような構成は、シアノアクリレート粘着剤を供給する容器に適用されている。このような容器は、どんな形状を呈していても、供給用開口から遠ざかった開口端が挿入具により閉鎖される。しかし、その前提は、素材が十分な剛性を有することである。従来の技術は、開口端部に、それに対応する形状を有する挿入具を挿入し、より大きい端部を容器の端表面に押付けて、周知の成形方法（例えばロールを利用）によって周壁を収縮し、又は変形している。容器の内部に挿入した挿入具は、外周面が容器の内壁に密着し、これにより、挿入具の外周面と容器の内壁は液密となる。一般的に、前記挿入具は、被供給物に適合した変形抵抗能力を有する合成樹脂で作製されたものである。挿入具の端面は、供給器を立設可能なベース面を設けることもできる。このようにすれば、供給用開口を閉めていないときに、被供給物(内容物)の流出を防止することが可能である。 In the present invention, “fluid” means not only liquid but also contents including gels, emulsions, compounds and other materials. One example of widely used is an adhesive supply container. Such a supply container is a container having a hard metal peripheral wall. For example, US Pat. No. 5,649,648 of Patent Document 1 has been proposed. This patent shows a configuration in which a deformed portion is provided in an aluminum alloy tube and its open end is closed by an insertion tool. US Pat. No. 5,799,829 of Patent Document 2 and US Pat. No. 6,672,060 of Patent Document 3 describe containers having configurations similar to those described above. Such a configuration is applied to a container for supplying a cyanoacrylate pressure-sensitive adhesive. Whatever the shape of such a container, the open end away from the supply opening is closed by the insertion tool. However, the premise is that the material has sufficient rigidity. In the conventional technique, an insertion tool having a corresponding shape is inserted into the opening end, the larger end is pressed against the end surface of the container, and the peripheral wall is contracted by a known molding method (for example, using a roll). Or is deformed. The outer peripheral surface of the insertion tool inserted into the container is in close contact with the inner wall of the container, whereby the outer peripheral surface of the insertion tool and the inner wall of the container are liquid-tight. In general, the insertion tool is made of a synthetic resin having a deformation resistance capability adapted to a supply object. The end surface of the insertion tool may be provided with a base surface on which the feeder can be erected. In this way, it is possible to prevent the supply object (contents) from flowing out when the supply opening is not closed.

多くの従来の供給容器は、押圧可能なホースやチューブを使用し、被供給物(内容物)を充填した後にその開口端を閉鎖したり、開口端を閉鎖した後に供給端から被供給物を充填している。容器本体は、薄くて非脆性な金属（例えばアルミやアルミ合金）で作製されたものであり、充填端又は開口端を閉鎖することが可能である。 Many conventional supply containers use a hose or tube that can be pressed to close the open end after filling the supply (contents), or to close the supply from the supply end after closing the open end. Filled. The container body is made of a thin and non-brittle metal (for example, aluminum or aluminum alloy), and can close the filling end or the opening end.

肉厚の薄い合成樹脂や軟質の金属管の欠点は、周知のように、中央部が凹みやすいことである。これにより、被供給物が供給端から流出しやすい。この問題を解決するために、出願人は特許文献４の米国特許７７６６１９０号を提案した。この容器は、チューブの内部に、前記チューブの長手方向に沿って延び複数の穴を有するライニングが設けられている。このようにすると、ライニングの外面と前記チューブの内面の間に滞在している流体をライニングの内部に回流させることが可能である。 As is well known, the disadvantage of thin synthetic resins and soft metal tubes is that the central part is easily recessed. Thereby, a to-be-supplied material tends to flow out from a supply end. In order to solve this problem, the applicant proposed US Pat. No. 7,766,190 of Patent Document 4. This container is provided with a lining extending in the longitudinal direction of the tube and having a plurality of holes inside the tube. In this way, the fluid staying between the outer surface of the lining and the inner surface of the tube can be circulated into the lining.

出願人の前記特許文献４の米国特許第７７６６１９０号の構造によれば、チューブの凹みを防止することが可能であるが、前記チューブの端部は、巻いて圧接することによって閉鎖することが必要である。特に、周壁が薄すぎ、又は弱すぎる素材（例えばアルミ又は薄い合成樹脂）で作製された場合には、前記周壁の開口端は、開口端に挿入されている挿入具を保持するための強度が不十分である。 According to the structure of US Pat. No. 7,766,190 of the applicant's Patent Document 4, it is possible to prevent the tube from being dented, but the end of the tube needs to be closed by being wound and pressed. It is. In particular, when the peripheral wall is made of a material that is too thin or weak (for example, aluminum or thin synthetic resin), the opening end of the peripheral wall has a strength for holding the insertion tool inserted in the opening end. It is insufficient.

以下、本発明の一実施例の形態を図面に基づいて説明する。
図１から図４を参照する。図１は本発明の一実施例を示す分解斜視図であり、図２は本発明の実施例を示す正面図であり、図３は図２におけるＡ−Ａ線に沿った断面図であり、図４は図３における円形破線の部分を拡大して示す部分断面図である。本実施例の供給容器は、図１から図４に示すように、チューブ状を呈し、縮径した供給端と、ほぼ円筒状を呈する本体を有するが、もちろん、当業者にとって、供給容器の幾何形状を変更したり、供給容器を構成する部分の形状、位置、構造及び寸法等を適宜に変更することは容易である。 Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
Please refer to FIG. 1 to FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view showing an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a front view showing an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA in FIG. FIG. 4 is an enlarged partial cross-sectional view showing a circular broken line in FIG. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the supply container of this embodiment has a tubular shape, a reduced diameter supply end, and a substantially cylindrical main body. Of course, for those skilled in the art, the geometry of the supply container It is easy to change the shape or appropriately change the shape, position, structure, dimensions, etc. of the parts constituting the supply container.

図１から図４に示すように、容器１０は、少なくとも一部が転位可能な周壁１２を有する本体１１を具備しており、本体の端部１３は縮径され、供給開口１４を形成している。供給開口１４は、軸方向に沿って延びており、その周面に蓋(図示略)をねじ着するための螺旋が設けられ、薄膜７０により封止されている。薄膜７０をピアースすると、供給開口１４、本体１１及び/又はライニング１８の内部が外部と連通する。供給端の蓋として別の構成の蓋を採用する場合には、螺旋を設けないこともある。 As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the container 10 includes a main body 11 having a peripheral wall 12 at least a part of which can be displaced, and an end 13 of the main body is reduced in diameter to form a supply opening 14. Yes. The supply opening 14 extends along the axial direction, and a spiral for screwing a lid (not shown) is provided on the peripheral surface of the supply opening 14 and is sealed with a thin film 70. When the thin film 70 is pierced, the inside of the supply opening 14, the main body 11 and / or the lining 18 communicates with the outside. When a lid having a different configuration is employed as the lid for the supply end, the spiral may not be provided.

周壁１２の一端側には開口端１５が形成され、少なくとも一部（開口端１５に近接する部分を含み）が変形可能な材料で形成されている。周壁１２の材料は、アルミやアルミ合金を採用することが好ましいが、銅、銅合金、又は合成樹脂を採用してもよい。これらは周知の技術であるため、詳細な説明を省略する。図１から図４に示すように、本体１１は、端部１３から開口端１５までの周壁１２が一定の厚さを有しているが、所望により周壁１２の厚さ及び硬さを部分的に変更することもできる。例えば端部１３と螺旋部１６の全部又は一部は、より厚い材料及び/又はより硬い材料を採用してもよい。このようにすれば、供給端は容易に変形しない。 An opening end 15 is formed on one end side of the peripheral wall 12, and at least a part (including a portion close to the opening end 15) is formed of a deformable material. The material of the peripheral wall 12 is preferably aluminum or aluminum alloy, but may be copper, copper alloy, or synthetic resin. Since these are well-known techniques, detailed description thereof is omitted. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the main body 11 has a constant thickness of the peripheral wall 12 from the end 13 to the open end 15, but the thickness and hardness of the peripheral wall 12 can be partially set as desired. It can also be changed. For example, a thicker material and / or a harder material may be adopted for all or part of the end portion 13 and the spiral portion 16. In this way, the supply end is not easily deformed.

周壁１２が容易に変形することは重要なことである。これにより、容器を押圧すると、本体１１の内部の空間が減少されて、内容物を押し出すことが可能である。 It is important that the peripheral wall 12 is easily deformed. Thereby, when the container is pressed, the space inside the main body 11 is reduced, and the contents can be pushed out.

上記本体１１の内部には、ライニング１８が設けられており、ライニング１８は少なくとも一つの開放端１９を有し、開放端１９は本体１１の内部に位置する。一般的に、ライニング１８は弾性を有する材料で作製され、本体が内側に変形する際に変形抵抗を生じる。したがって、周壁１２を押さえた後に解放すると、周壁１２は本来の形状に戻ることが可能である。ライニング１８を圧縮することが可能であるため、ライニング１８が圧縮されると、本体１１の内部の空間を減少することが可能である。本体１１の主な部分の長さは、ライニング１８によって決められる。ライニング１８の硬さは、容器に収容される内容物によって決められる。例えば内容物が、毎回一滴又は二滴というように少量づつ流出させて使用する粘着剤（特に、シアノアクリレート粘着剤）である場合には、ライニング１８の硬さをより高くするとよい。なお、内容物の供給が毎回より多くの供給量を必要としたり、又は粘性が高いもの（例えば歯磨き）である場合には、ライニング１８の硬さをより低くすることが好ましい。 A lining 18 is provided inside the main body 11, and the lining 18 has at least one open end 19, and the open end 19 is located inside the main body 11. Generally, the lining 18 is made of an elastic material, and causes deformation resistance when the main body is deformed inward. Accordingly, when the peripheral wall 12 is released after being pressed, the peripheral wall 12 can return to its original shape. Since the lining 18 can be compressed, the space inside the main body 11 can be reduced when the lining 18 is compressed. The length of the main part of the main body 11 is determined by the lining 18. The hardness of the lining 18 is determined by the contents contained in the container. For example, when the content is a pressure-sensitive adhesive (particularly a cyanoacrylate pressure-sensitive adhesive) that is used by flowing out a small amount such as one drop or two drops each time, the hardness of the lining 18 may be increased. In addition, when the supply of the content requires a larger supply amount every time or the viscosity is high (for example, toothpaste), it is preferable to lower the hardness of the lining 18.

ライニング１８は、図１に示すように、ライニング１８の壁を貫通する少なくとも一つの穴２０を有することが好ましい。前記ライニング１８の外面と本体１１の内面の間に入り込んだ内容物は、この穴２０により、ライニング１８の内部に回流することが可能である。 The lining 18 preferably has at least one hole 20 extending through the wall of the lining 18 as shown in FIG. The contents that have entered between the outer surface of the lining 18 and the inner surface of the main body 11 can be circulated into the lining 18 through the holes 20.

図１、図３及び図５から図９に示すように、ライニング１８の底セクション２６には、挿入具２５が設けられており、前記挿入具は前記本体１１の開口端１５に挿入される。挿入具２５は、ライニング１８と一体成形して連接されているが、挿入具２５とライニング１８をそれぞれ別体に形成してから連接してもよい。上記底セクション２６は、複数のリブ２８を設けた外径部２７を有し、この複数のリブ２８は、距離(間隔)を置いて軸方向に沿って環状に突出して設けられている。このようにして挿入具２５の複数のリブ２８の間には凹部又は溝２９が形成される。複数の前記リブ２８の外径は、本体１１の前記開口端１５に近接する周壁１２の内径よりも少し大きいことが好ましい。容器に内容物を充填した後、挿入具２５のリブ２８を上記開口端１５に挿入すると、上記周壁１２の内径は拡大され挿入具を収容することが可能となる。挿入具２５の材料の耐圧縮性は、周壁１２の材料の耐圧縮性よりも大きいことが好ましい。この構成により、リブ２８の外周面と周壁１２の内周面は、緊密に噛み合うことが可能となる。 As shown in FIGS. 1, 3, and 5 to 9, the bottom section 26 of the lining 18 is provided with an insertion tool 25, and the insertion tool is inserted into the open end 15 of the main body 11. Although the insertion tool 25 is integrally formed and connected to the lining 18, the insertion tool 25 and the lining 18 may be formed separately and connected. The bottom section 26 has an outer diameter portion 27 provided with a plurality of ribs 28. The plurality of ribs 28 are provided so as to project annularly along the axial direction at a distance (interval). In this way, recesses or grooves 29 are formed between the plurality of ribs 28 of the insertion tool 25. The outer diameters of the plurality of ribs 28 are preferably slightly larger than the inner diameter of the peripheral wall 12 close to the opening end 15 of the main body 11. After the container is filled with the contents, when the rib 28 of the insertion tool 25 is inserted into the open end 15, the inner diameter of the peripheral wall 12 is enlarged and the insertion tool can be accommodated. The compression resistance of the material of the insertion tool 25 is preferably larger than the compression resistance of the material of the peripheral wall 12. With this configuration, the outer peripheral surface of the rib 28 and the inner peripheral surface of the peripheral wall 12 can be closely meshed with each other.

環状を呈するロック部材３０は、その長さが前記挿入具２５のリブ２８を有する区域の長さよりもやや長く形成され、その内周面には、一つ、又は溝３３によって離間される(距離を置いて設けられている)複数の縮径リブ３２が内側に突出して設けられている。縮径リブ３２の内径は、前記開口端１５に近接する周壁１２の外径よりもやや大きく、又は開口端１５に近接する周壁１２の外径と同じである。この構成により、上記ロック部材３０は、上記本体１１又は底セクション２６に沿ってスライドさせることが可能である。 The lock member 30 having an annular shape is formed slightly longer than the length of the area having the ribs 28 of the insertion tool 25, and the inner peripheral surface thereof is separated by one or a groove 33 (distance). A plurality of reduced-diameter ribs 32 are provided so as to protrude inward. The inner diameter of the reduced diameter rib 32 is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the peripheral wall 12 adjacent to the opening end 15 or the same as the outer diameter of the peripheral wall 12 adjacent to the opening end 15. With this configuration, the locking member 30 can be slid along the main body 11 or the bottom section 26.

ロック部材３０は、リング３１に形成され、内面に設けた上記縮径リブ３２の内径は、上記挿入具２５のリブ２８の外径よりもやや小さく形成されている。なお、上記溝３３の底部の直径は、挿入具２５の上記リブ２８の外径よりもやや大きい。逆に、挿入具２５の溝２９の底部の直径は、リング３１の縮径リブ３２の内径よりもやや小さい。これらの直径の関係は、周壁１２の厚さによって変更してもよい。このようにして、これらを緊密に係合させることが可能であり、挿入具２５とリング３１の溝とリブの間に位置する上記周壁を少し噛み合わせ状態で圧縮することにより、周壁１２の内周面と挿入具２５の外周面の間を密封状態に締着することができる。 The lock member 30 is formed on the ring 31, and the inner diameter of the reduced diameter rib 32 provided on the inner surface is slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the rib 28 of the insertion tool 25. The diameter of the bottom of the groove 33 is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the rib 28 of the insertion tool 25. Conversely, the diameter of the bottom of the groove 29 of the insertion tool 25 is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the reduced diameter rib 32 of the ring 31. These diameter relationships may be changed depending on the thickness of the peripheral wall 12. In this way, it is possible to closely engage them, and the inner wall of the peripheral wall 12 is compressed by slightly compressing the peripheral wall located between the groove of the insertion tool 25 and the ring 31 and the rib. The space between the peripheral surface and the outer peripheral surface of the insertion tool 25 can be fastened in a sealed state.

ロック部材がリング３１である場合に、リング３１を本体１１の軸方向に沿って移動させると、リングは３１は挿入具２５の周囲に進入して前記挿入具２５に係合する。なお、本体１１の寸法がその軸方向に沿って変化する場合には、開口端１５に近接する箇所にリング３１を設けておくことができ、そのようにすれば、リング３１に挿入具を挿入することが可能である。挿入具及びリングは本体の周壁より硬い材料を採用することが好ましい。また、前記リング３１の縮径リブ３２が挿入具２５のリブ２８と係合状態に重なり、周壁１２がロック部材と挿入具の間に密封状態に存在するため、前記本体の周壁１２の寸法が極めて重要である。前記挿入具及びリングのうちの一方、又は両方は一定の弾性を有することが好ましい。このようにすれば、上記ロック部材を所望の位置までスライドさせることが可能である。 When the lock member is the ring 31, when the ring 31 is moved along the axial direction of the main body 11, the ring 31 enters the periphery of the insertion tool 25 and engages with the insertion tool 25. In addition, when the dimension of the main body 11 changes along the axial direction, the ring 31 can be provided in the location close to the opening end 15, and in that case, the insertion tool is inserted into the ring 31. Is possible. The insertion tool and the ring are preferably made of a material harder than the peripheral wall of the main body. Further, since the reduced diameter rib 32 of the ring 31 overlaps with the rib 28 of the insertion tool 25 and the peripheral wall 12 exists in a sealed state between the lock member and the insertion tool, the size of the peripheral wall 12 of the main body is Very important. One or both of the insertion tool and the ring preferably have a certain elasticity. If it does in this way, it is possible to slide the said locking member to a desired position.

挿入具２５は、図３及び図４に示すように、下方に開放している底部４１と、閉鎖状の上部４２と、この上部４２に向けて延びる中空な内部４０を有する。内部４０は底部と上部を結ぶ周壁４４によって構成されている。挿入具の周壁４４は、前記本体１１の周壁１２の底部５０を超えて軸方向に延びている。前記周壁４４は、周壁１２の底部５０を超えて、容器の外部にある端部の端表面５１まで延びている。端表面５１には、円周方向に等間隔に設けられている複数のベースブロック５２が形成されている。複数のベースブロック５２により、支持面を形成するベース部が設けられ、このベース部により、容器を起立状態に立てることが可能である。このようにすれば、容器の供給開口が上方に向くように容器を保持することができる。従来の容器は、蓋をカバーせずに横にすると、内容物が流出してしまうことがあるが、本発明によれば、前記ライニングにより、容器の周壁を本来の位置に戻すことが可能であるとともに、容器を安定的に起立させることができるので、そのような流出の可能をなくすことができる。 As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the insertion tool 25 has a bottom 41 that opens downward, a closed top 42, and a hollow interior 40 that extends toward the top 42. The interior 40 is constituted by a peripheral wall 44 that connects the bottom and the top. The peripheral wall 44 of the insertion tool extends in the axial direction beyond the bottom 50 of the peripheral wall 12 of the main body 11. The peripheral wall 44 extends beyond the bottom 50 of the peripheral wall 12 to an end surface 51 at the end outside the container. A plurality of base blocks 52 provided at equal intervals in the circumferential direction are formed on the end surface 51. A plurality of base blocks 52 provide a base portion that forms a support surface, and the base portion allows the container to stand upright. In this way, the container can be held so that the supply opening of the container faces upward. When a conventional container is placed sideways without covering the lid, the contents may flow out, but according to the present invention, the peripheral wall of the container can be returned to its original position by the lining. In addition, since the container can be erected stably, the possibility of such outflow can be eliminated.

図４に示すように、挿入具２５のリブ２８とリング３１の縮径リブ３２により、本体１１の周壁１２が挟着されかつ屈折されるので、挿入具の溝２９とリング３１の溝３３の間に本体１１の周壁の一部を締着状態に固定することが可能である。 As shown in FIG. 4, the peripheral wall 12 of the main body 11 is sandwiched and refracted by the rib 28 of the insertion tool 25 and the reduced diameter rib 32 of the ring 31, so that the groove 29 of the insertion tool and the groove 33 of the ring 31 are It is possible to fix a part of the peripheral wall of the main body 11 in a fastened state.

ロック部材を正確に所定位置に定位するために、挿入具２５には周壁４４から半径方向に延びる環状壁６０が形成されている。この環状壁６０の上部６１は開放状態に形成されている。これにより、前記リング３１の底部を収容可能な環状溝６２が周壁４４の外周に形成されている。前記環状壁６０の上部６１は徐々に拡径されており、これによりロック部材を下方に移動する際ロック部材をガイドすることが可能である。ロック部材の移動は、環状溝６２の底部６３に当たることにより停止する。また、挿入具を開口端に挿入するとき、周壁１２の底部５０が環状溝の底部６３に当ることにより周壁１２の移動を止めることも可能である。 An annular wall 60 extending in the radial direction from the peripheral wall 44 is formed in the insertion tool 25 in order to accurately position the lock member at a predetermined position. The upper portion 61 of the annular wall 60 is formed in an open state. Accordingly, an annular groove 62 that can accommodate the bottom of the ring 31 is formed on the outer periphery of the peripheral wall 44. The upper portion 61 of the annular wall 60 is gradually enlarged in diameter so that the lock member can be guided when the lock member is moved downward. The movement of the locking member stops when it hits the bottom 63 of the annular groove 62. Further, when the insertion tool is inserted into the open end, the movement of the peripheral wall 12 can be stopped by the bottom 50 of the peripheral wall 12 abutting against the bottom 63 of the annular groove.

上記の説明から明らかなように、内容物を充填するための開口端を本発明の挿入具により直接閉鎖するようにしたから、簡単かつ確実に閉鎖することができ、従来のものよりも進歩性を有する。前記挿入具を挿入するとともに前記ロック部材を適当の位置に位置させることにより、容器は効果的に密封され、内容物が開口端から漏れ出すことはない。前記ロック部材と挿入具を係合させてその間に容器の周壁を位置させることにより、密封効果は極めて良い。本発明の一実施例では、挿入具とロック部材とにリブ及び溝を設けたことにより、容器に挿入具を強固に固定することが可能であり、そして容器の周壁と挿入具の周壁を緊密に締着して結合することも可能である。 As apparent from the above description, the opening end for filling the contents is directly closed by the insertion tool of the present invention, so that it can be easily and reliably closed, and is more innovative than the conventional one. Have By inserting the insertion tool and positioning the locking member in an appropriate position, the container is effectively sealed, and the contents do not leak from the open end. By engaging the lock member and the insertion tool and positioning the peripheral wall of the container between them, the sealing effect is very good. In an embodiment of the present invention, the insertion tool and the lock member are provided with ribs and grooves so that the insertion tool can be firmly fixed to the container, and the peripheral wall of the container and the peripheral wall of the insertion tool are tightly connected. It is also possible to fasten and bond to each other.

もちろん、挿入具の周囲の設けた前記環状溝６２を無くして、リング３１の底部を挿入具の拡径している前記環状壁６０に接触させ、周壁１２の底部５０を挿入具の外周に設けたより大径の前記底部６３に接触させることも可能である。 Of course, the annular groove 62 provided around the insertion tool is eliminated, the bottom of the ring 31 is brought into contact with the annular wall 60 whose diameter is increased, and the bottom 50 of the peripheral wall 12 is provided on the outer periphery of the insertion tool. It is also possible to contact the bottom 63 having a larger diameter.

このように、特定の例を参照して本発明を説明したが、それらの例は、説明のためだけのものであり、本発明を限定するものではなく、この分野に通常の知識を有する者には、本発明の要旨および特許請求の範囲を逸脱することなく、ここで開示された実施例に変更、追加、または、削除を施してもよいことがわかる。 Thus, while the present invention has been described with reference to specific examples, these examples are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the present invention, and have ordinary skill in the art.
