Description

  The present invention relates to a foam discharge container.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a foam discharge container that foams a gas-liquid mixture of a content liquid and air and discharges it as a foam is known. This type of foam discharge container is attached to the mouth of the container main body in which the content liquid is accommodated, and has a through-hole through which the foam passes and a connecting member in which an introduction hole for introducing outside air into the container main body is formed. And a discharge member formed with an outer opening that discharges the foam that has passed through the passage hole and sucks outside air toward the introduction hole, and the introduction hole. A configuration is known that includes an air valve that closes when pressurized and opens when negative.

In the above-described foam discharge container, when the container main body is squeezed, for example, the content liquid and air in the container main body flow into the connecting member. Thereafter, the gas-liquid mixture of the content liquid and the air passes through the foaming member provided in the connection member to form a foam, and is then discharged from the outer opening of the discharge member.
On the other hand, when the squeeze deformation of the container body is released, the negative pressure generated inside the container body acts on the air valve, thereby opening the introduction hole. As a result, the outside air sucked into the discharge member through the outer opening flows into the container body through the introduction hole, so that the container body is restored and deformed.

  However, the conventional foam discharge container described above has room for improvement in terms of ensuring sealing performance with a simple configuration.

  This invention is made | formed in view of such a situation, Comprising: It aims at providing the foam discharge container which can be provided with a high sealing performance with a simple structure.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention proposes the following means.
In the foam discharge container according to the present invention, the body portion is formed so as to be elastically deformable, the container body in which the content liquid is stored, the mouth portion of the container body, and the content liquid in the container body And a connecting member formed with a passage hole through which a foam in which a gas-liquid mixture of foam and air passes, and an introduction hole for introducing outside air into the container body, is attached to the connecting member, A discharge member formed with an outer opening that discharges the foam that has passed through the passage hole and sucks outside air toward the introduction hole, and the introduction hole are closed when the inside of the container body is at a positive pressure. And an air valve that opens when the pressure is negative, and the connection member is formed with a common path that communicates with both the passage hole and the introduction hole, and the outer opening, the passage hole, and the passage The introduction hole communicates with the common path, and the discharge member is A plug portion that opens and closes the common path is provided, and the plug portion is movably disposed between a closed position where the plug section closes the common path and an open position where the plug section opens the common path. It is characterized by being.

According to this configuration, by moving the discharge member to the open position, the outer opening communicates with the passage hole and the introduction hole through the common path. In this state, the body portion of the container body is squeezed to reduce the volume of the container body. Then, the pressure in the container main body becomes a positive pressure with the volume reduction deformation, and the foam is discharged from the outer opening through the passage hole and the common path by this positive pressure. When the inside of the container body is positive pressure, the introduction hole is closed by an air valve. Thereby, the communication between the common path through the introduction hole and the inside of the container main body is blocked.
On the other hand, when the squeeze deformation of the body portion is released and the container body is restored and deformed, the pressure in the container body becomes negative. The introduction hole is opened by the negative pressure acting on the air valve. As a result, the common path through the introduction hole communicates with the inside of the container body. Then, outside air is sucked into the discharge member through the outer opening, and then flows into the container body through the common path and the introduction hole. As a result, the container body can be reliably restored and deformed. The outside air is sucked into the discharge member through the outer opening, so that the foam remaining around the outer opening is pulled back into the discharge member (so-called back suction function). Thereby, the dripping from the outer side opening after discharge of a foam can be suppressed.

In particular, since the discharge member includes a plug portion that opens and closes a common path communicating with both the passage hole and the introduction hole, it is possible to collectively seal both the passage hole and the introduction hole by closing the common path. it can. Thereby, compared with the structure which seals a passage hole and an introduction hole each independently, it can be provided with a high sealing performance with a simple structure.
Further, by opening and closing the common path formed in the connecting member by the plug portion, the plug portion is arranged inside the outer opening of the discharge member. Thereby, since it becomes difficult to expose a stopper part outside, while being able to improve designability, it can suppress that a stopper part is opened by unexpected external force, mischief, etc., for example.

The outer opening may be provided with a sealing member that closes when the discharge member is located at the closed position and opens when the discharge member is located at the open position.
In this case, since the sealing member that closes the outer opening when the discharge member is located at the closed position is provided, for example, drying of the foam remaining in the discharge member can be suppressed, and a foam with good foam quality can be obtained. It can be discharged over a long period of time.

The outer peripheral edge of the valve body 55 is in contact with the inner flange portion 27 described above from below.

  In addition, a rod 61 that extends coaxially with the base cylinder part 43 is disposed in the lower part of the base cylinder part 43. A plurality of connecting pieces 62 extending toward the outside in the radial direction as it goes downward are connected to the upper portion of the rod body 61 at intervals in the circumferential direction, and the outer peripheral edge of the connecting piece 62 is the base tube portion. 43 is integrally connected to the inner peripheral surface. Note that the lower end portion of the rod 61 is located above the lower end opening edge of the base tube portion 43.

  In addition, a longitudinal groove portion 71 extending along the container axis O direction is formed on the upper outer peripheral surface of the inner cylinder portion 64. The vertical groove portion 71 communicates the inside and outside of the base tube portion 43 through a horizontal groove portion 72 formed at the upper end edge of the inner tube portion 64.

The outer cylinder portion 65 is externally fitted to the base cylinder portion 43, and a lower end edge thereof is continuously provided in an intermediate portion of the inner cylinder portion 64 in the container axis O direction via a projecting portion 73 extending in the radial direction. .

Yes.

  Therefore, the flow path member 34 partitions the inside of the base cylinder part 43 into the liquid passage S2 and the air passage S3. Further, the space above the flow path member 34 in the base cylinder portion 43 is mixed with the content liquid and air that have passed through the liquid passage S2 and the air passage S3, and the mixed gas-liquid mixture is common. A mixing passage S4 that circulates toward the passage S1 is formed.

The discharge member 3 includes a peripheral wall portion 81 attached to the discharge-side attachment portion 24 described above, and an annular top wall portion 82 protruding from the upper end edge of the peripheral wall portion 81 toward the inside in the radial direction. Yes.
In the illustrated example, the peripheral wall portion 81 is screwed to the discharge side mounting portion 24. Therefore, the discharge member 3 can be moved up and down with respect to the container body 2 and the connection member 4 by rotating around the container axis O. The peripheral wall portion 81 may be attached to the discharge side attachment portion 24 by undercut fitting or the like (any fitting method may be used as long as it can slide up and down).

The top wall portion 82 has a communication port 83 communicating with the inside of the common path S1 at the central portion in the radial direction. A dome-shaped introduction portion 84 that covers the communication port 83 from above is provided on the inner peripheral edge of the top wall portion 82. A nozzle cylinder 85 that communicates the inside and outside of the introduction portion 84 is provided continuously at a part of the introduction portion 84 in the circumferential direction. The nozzle cylinder 85 extends so as to incline upward toward the outer side in the radial direction, and has an outer opening 85a whose tip opening is open to the outside. As shown in FIG. 1, the nozzle cylinder 85 has the outer opening 85 a sealed by the above-described sealing member 25, and the tip end portion is in contact with the restriction wall portion 26 from the other end side in the circumferential direction.
As shown in FIG. 2, a guide tube 86 extending downward is continuously provided at the opening edge of the communication port 83. The guide tube 86 can be moved back and forth between the connecting portion 32 and the communication tube 31 as the discharge member 3 moves up and down.

  Here, a plug portion 91 that opens and closes the common path S <b> 1 as the discharge member 3 moves up and down is disposed inside the communication port 83. The plug portion 91 extends downward from the outer peripheral edge of the closing plate 92 and covers the communication tube 31 from above, and is fitted in the communication tube 31 in a liquid-tight manner. A seal cylinder 93.

  The closing plate 92 is connected to the top wall portion 82 via a bridge portion (not shown). The bridge portion has a radially outer end connected to the inner peripheral edge of the top wall portion 82, and a radially inner end connected to the outer peripheral edge of the closing plate 92. A plurality of bridge portions are provided at intervals in the circumferential direction, and the common path S1 and the inside of the nozzle cylinder 85 communicate with each other through a portion of the communication port 83 located between the bridge portions. And in this embodiment, the discharge member 3 is the closed position (state of FIG. 2) where the plug part 91 closes the common path S1 by the rotation operation around the container axis O, and the plug part 91 opens the common path S1. It can be moved up and down between the open position (the state shown in FIG. 4).

  Next, the effect | action of the foam discharge container 1 mentioned above is demonstrated. In the following description, the state where the ejection member 3 is in the closed position is referred to as an initial state. That is, in the initial state, the opening edge of the outer opening 85a of the nozzle cylinder 85 is sealed by the sealing member 25 described above, and the tip end portion abuts against the regulation wall portion 26 from the other end side in the circumferential direction. ing. Therefore, rotation of the discharge member 3 toward the one end side in the circumferential direction with respect to the connection member 4 is restricted by the restriction wall portion 26.

  In this state, in order to discharge the foam from the foam discharge container 1, first, the discharge member 3 is moved to the open position. Specifically, the discharge member 3 is rotated with respect to the connection member 4 toward the other end side in the circumferential direction (the direction in which the screw connection between the discharge member 3 and the discharge side mounting portion 24 is released). Then, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the discharge member 3 rises and the plug portion 91 moves to the open position where the common path S <b> 1 is opened, and the circumferential position between the sealing member 25 and the nozzle cylinder 85. And the outer opening 85a is opened.

  Subsequently, the body portion 11 of the container body 2 is squeezed to reduce the volume of the container body 2. Then, the pressure in the container main body 2 becomes a positive pressure along with the volume reduction deformation, and the content liquid and the air in the container main body 2 flow into the foaming portion 22 by this positive pressure. Specifically, the content liquid in the container body 2 flows into the mixing passage S4 after passing through the liquid passage S2. Further, the air in the container body 2 passes through the air passage S3 and then flows into the mixing passage S4. Thereby, in the mixing channel | path S4, it becomes the gas-liquid mixture with which the content liquid and air in the container main body 2 were mixed. When the inside of the container body 2 is at a positive pressure, the introduction hole 45 is closed by the air valve 53. Thereby, the communication between the common path S1 through the introduction hole 45 and the inside of the container body 2 is blocked.

  The gas-liquid mixture that has flowed into the mixing passage S <b> 4 passes through the gap between the connecting pieces 62, moves up in the mixing passage S <b> 4, and reaches the foaming member 46. Then, the gas-liquid mixture passes through the mesh sheet 52 of the foam member 46 to become a foamed foam.

  The foam that has passed through the foaming member 46 flows into the common path S1 through the passage hole 43a, and then is guided into the nozzle cylinder 85 through the communication port 83 of the discharge member 3. The foam introduced into the nozzle cylinder 85 is discharged from the outer opening 85a.

  On the other hand, when the container body 2 is restored and deformed by releasing the squeeze deformation of the body portion 11, the pressure in the container body 2 becomes negative. Then, when this negative pressure acts on the valve body 55 of the air valve 53, the valve body 55 is elastically deformed downward, and the introduction hole 45 is opened. Thereby, the common path S1 through the introduction hole 45 communicates with the inside of the container body 2. Then, outside air is sucked into the nozzle cylinder 85 through the outer opening 85a, and then flows into the common path S1 through the communication port 83. The outside air that has flowed into the common path S <b> 1 flows into the container body 2 through the introduction hole 45. Thereby, the container main body 2 can be reliably restored and deformed. The outside air is sucked into the nozzle cylinder 85 through the outer opening 85a, so that the foam remaining around the outer opening 85a is pulled back into the nozzle cylinder 85 (so-called back suction function). Thereby, the dripping from the outer side opening 85a after discharge of a foam can be suppressed.

  Further, after the foam is discharged, to return the discharge member 3 to the initial state, the discharge member 3 is moved to the closed position. Specifically, the discharge member 3 is rotated with respect to the connecting member 4 toward one end side in the circumferential direction (screwing direction between the discharge member 3 and the discharge side mounting portion 24). Then, as shown in FIG. 2, the discharge member 3 descends and the plug portion 91 moves to the closed position where the common path S1 is closed. That is, in the plug portion 91, the closing plate 92 covers the communication tube 31 from above, and the seal tube 93 is fitted in the communication tube 31. When the discharge member 3 moves to the closed position, the circumferential positions of the sealing member 25 and the nozzle cylinder 85 are aligned to seal the outer opening 85a, and the tip of the nozzle cylinder 85 is connected to the restriction wall portion 26. Abutting from the other end in the circumferential direction, the rotation of the discharge member 3 toward one end in the circumferential direction is restricted.

Thus, in this embodiment, since the plug part 91 which opens and closes the common path S1 communicating with both the passage hole 43a and the introduction hole 45 is provided, the passage hole 43a and the introduction hole are closed by closing the common path S1. Both of the 45 seals can be performed together. Thereby, compared with the structure which each seals the passage hole 43a and the introduction hole 45 independently, it can provide a high sealing performance with a simple structure.
Further, by opening and closing the common path S <b> 1 formed in the connection member 4 by the plug portion 91, the plug portion 91 is disposed inside the outer opening 85 a in the discharge member 3 at the closed position. Thereby, since the plug part 91 becomes difficult to be exposed to the outside, it is possible to improve the design and to prevent the plug part 91 from being opened due to, for example, an unexpected external force or mischief.

  Furthermore, in the present embodiment, since the sealing member 25 that closes the outer opening 85a when the discharge member 3 is located at the closing position is provided, for example, drying of foam remaining in the nozzle cylinder 85 can be suppressed, A foam with good foam quality can be discharged over a long period of time.

  As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention was explained in full detail with reference to drawings, the concrete structure is not restricted to this embodiment, The design change etc. of the range which does not deviate from the summary of this invention are included.

  For example, in the above-described embodiment, the configuration in which the plug portion 91 opens and closes the common path S1 by the vertical movement of the discharge member 3 with respect to the connection member 4 has been described, but is not limited thereto. For example, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the common path S <b> 1 may be opened and closed by rotating the discharge member 3 with respect to the connection member 4. Specifically, in the foam discharge container 100 shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the mounting cap 101 includes a top-side cylindrical discharge-side mounting portion 102 erected upward from the inner peripheral edge of the inner flange portion 27. ing. The discharge side mounting portion 102 is formed with a housing portion 103 that is recessed downward and opened toward one side in the radial direction. The accommodation portion 103 is formed with a communication port 104 communicating with the inside of the common path S1 at the bottom thereof, and a bearing portion 105 (see FIG. 5) is formed on a pair of side walls opposed in the radial direction. The discharge member 110 is accommodated in the accommodating portion 103. In addition, in the bottom part of the accommodating part 103, the opening peripheral part of the communicating port 104 is formed in the concave curved surface shape recessed toward the downward direction.

  The discharge member 110 includes a nozzle cylinder 111 and a shaft 112 that protrudes from the nozzle cylinder 111 toward both sides in the radial direction and is individually supported in the bearing portion 105 described above. The mounting cap 101 is supported so as to be rotatable around C.

  The nozzle tube 111 is L-shaped in cross-section along the container axis O direction, and a base end portion located on the shaft portion 112 side is housed in the housing portion 103 and is opposite to the shaft portion 112 side. After the tip portion located at the end protrudes radially outward from the housing portion 103, the tip portion extends downward. In this case, the lower portion of the base end portion of the nozzle cylinder 111 constitutes a plug portion 115 that covers the communication port 104 from above and closes the common path S1. Therefore, the plug portion 115 has a curved surface protruding downward.

  The discharge member 110 has an axis C between a closed position (see FIG. 6) where the plug 115 closes the common path S1 and an open position (see FIG. 7) where the plug 115 opens the common path S1. It is designed to rotate around. Note that, at the closed position, the tip of the nozzle cylinder 111 protrudes radially outward from the housing portion 103 and is close to or abuts on the inner flange portion 27 from above. In other words, the portion of the inner flange portion 27 where the tip of the nozzle cylinder 111 is close to or abuts constitutes a sealing member that seals the outer opening 111 a of the nozzle cylinder 111.

  In the foam discharge container 100 configured as described above, first, the discharge member 110 is moved to the open position. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 7, when the discharge member 110 is rotated around the axis C, the plug portion 115 is retracted from the communication port 104, so that the base end portion of the nozzle cylinder 111 is raised. The inside of the nozzle cylinder 111 and the common path S <b> 1 communicate with each other through the communication port 104. Further, the outer opening 111a of the nozzle cylinder 111 is separated from the inner flange portion 27, so that the outer opening 111a is opened. In this state, by performing the same operation as in the above-described embodiment, the foam can be discharged through the outer opening 111a.

  When the discharge member 110 is rotated around the axis C toward the closed position after the foam is discharged, the plug 115 of the nozzle cylinder 111 covers the communication port 104 from above and the outer opening 111a The flange portion 27 approaches or abuts from above. Thereby, there can exist an effect similar to embodiment mentioned above.

  In addition, the design of the discharge member can be changed as appropriate as long as the closing position and the opening position are movable.

  In addition, in the range which does not deviate from the meaning of this invention, it is possible to replace suitably the component in the embodiment mentioned above by the known component, and you may combine the modification mentioned above suitably.
