The cap 6 is detachably screwed into the mouth portion 9 via a male screw 10 and a female screw 15, and the top wall portion 14 covers the ball 4 and the ball holding cover 5 from above. An annular pressing rib 17 that presses the ball 4 downward is projected from the upper inner surface of the top wall portion 14.

  The ball holding cover 5 is integrally formed of a synthetic resin such as polyethylene (PE) that is more flexible than the container body 3, and includes a flange portion 20 that comes into contact with the upper end of the mouth portion 9, and an inner peripheral portion of the flange portion 20. A cylindrical inner fitting wall portion 21 projecting downward, a cylindrical ball holding portion 22 projecting upward from the inner peripheral portion of the flange portion 20, and a blocking wall projecting inward in the horizontal direction from the inner peripheral portion of the flange portion 20 Part 23.

The tip of the ball holding portion 22 is formed in a tapered shape that gradually decreases in diameter toward the tip, and the ball 4 protrudes outward between the closing wall portion 23 of the ball holding cover 5 and the ball holding portion 22. It is held in a rotatable state.
The flange portion 20 is brought into contact with the upper end of the mouth portion 9, and the inner fitting wall portion 21 is fitted into the upper portion of the mouth portion 9, whereby the ball holding cover 5 is fitted to the mouth portion 9 of the container body 3. It is mounted so as to close the opening 25.

A cylindrical holding cylinder portion 26 projects downward from the central portion of the blocking wall portion 23 of the ball holding cover 5, and a small diameter portion 28 is provided above the holding cylinder portion 26. The container body is located inside the small diameter portion 28. 3 is formed with a liquid outlet 27 for leading the liquid 11 in 3 to the ball 4 side.
A liquid suction member 30 that sucks up the liquid 11 by capillary action is provided in the container body 3. The liquid suction member 30 is made of a non-woven fabric, and one end (upper end) of the liquid suction member 30 is fitted in the holding cylinder portion 26 of the ball holding cover 5 and is strongly fitted by the small diameter portion 28, It is fixed to the outlet 27 and is in contact with the ball 4. The other end side (lower end side) of the liquid suction member 30 is disposed downward toward the bottom of the container body 3.

A liquid return hole 32 for returning the liquid 11 sucked by the liquid suction member 30 and oozing out from the liquid outlet 27 to the inside of the container body 3 is provided on the outer periphery of the liquid outlet 27 of the blocking wall 23. A plurality (four in the illustrated example) of liquid return holes 32 are arranged at regular intervals on the outer periphery of the liquid outlet 27. On the outer peripheral side of the liquid outlet 27 and the liquid return hole 32 of the blocking wall portion 23, a cylindrical protruding cylindrical portion 33 is provided so as to protrude upward.

The upper end portion of the liquid outlet 27 is a first abutted portion 35, and the ball 4 abuts on the first abutted portion 35 so as to surround the upper end opening 25 of the liquid outlet 27, and the liquid suction member The liquid 11 sucked at 30 is restricted from flowing out to the tip end side of the ball 4, and the ball 4 serves as an inner plug.
The upper end portion of the protruding cylindrical portion 33 is a second abutted portion 36, and the ball 4 is annularly formed in the second abutted portion 36 so as to surround the upper end opening 25 of the liquid outlet 27 on the outer periphery of the liquid return hole 32. The liquid 11 sucked by the liquid suction member 30 is prevented from flowing out to the tip end side of the ball 4.

According to the first embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the liquid 11 in the container body 3 is sucked up by the capillary action by the liquid suction member 30 in a state where the mouth portion 9 is directed upward, Since one end portion of the suction member 30 is in contact, the liquid 11 can be directly supplied from one end portion of the liquid suction member 30 to the ball 4 and attached to the lower portion of the ball 4.
When the liquid 11 is applied to the face or the like, the liquid 11 has already adhered to the ball 4, so that it is not necessary to turn the container body 3 upside down so that the mouth 9 faces downward each time. 6 is removed, and the liquid 11 attached to the ball 4 with the rotation of the ball 4 can be easily applied to the face or the like by moving the tip 4 of the ball 4 against the face or the like even with the mouth 9 facing upward. Can be applied.

Further, when the container body 3 is set on a table or the like with the cap 6 removed from the mouth 9 and facing the mouth 9 upward, as in the case where the cap 6 is attached to the mouth 9, The liquid 11 in the container body 3 is sucked up by the capillary action by the liquid suction member 30 and can be attached to the lower part of the ball 4.
At this time, depending on the weight of the ball 4, the lower portion of the ball 4 is ring-shaped into a first abutted portion 35 at the upper end portion of the liquid injection port 27 and a second abutted portion 36 at the upper end portion of the protruding cylindrical portion 33. Because of the contact, a part of the liquid 11 adhering to the ball 4 side is blocked from oozing out to the tip side of the ball 4 by the first contacted portion 35, and exceeds the first contacted portion 35. The liquid 11 is blocked by the second contacted portion 36, flows down from the liquid return hole 32, and returns to the container body 3.

Therefore, in a state where the cap 6 is removed and the container main body 3 is installed on a table or the like, the liquid 11 can be reliably prevented from exuding to the tip end side of the ball 4 beyond the second contacted portion 36. 4 can be prevented from unexpectedly flowing from the front end side to the outside.
When the liquid 11 is applied again to the face or the like, the liquid 11 is already attached to the lower part of the ball 4. In this case, the container body 3 is turned upside down so that the mouth 9 faces downward each time. If it is no longer necessary and the tip of the ball 4 is moved while being pressed against the face or the like, the liquid 11 is attached to the ball 4 from the liquid outlet 27 and the ball 4 is rotated even if the mouth portion 9 remains upward. Accordingly, it can be easily applied to the face and the like.

  Further, when the mouth 9 is turned downward with the cap 6 removed, the ball 4 moves to the tip side of the ball holding cover 5 as shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. The liquid 11 is likely to flow out to the tip end side of the ball 4 while being separated from the portion 35 and the second contacted portion 36, but the ball holding portion 22 prevents the liquid 11 from flowing out. If the ball 11 is moved while being pressed against the arm or the leg, the liquid 11 can be easily applied to the arm or the leg as the ball 4 rotates.

Thereafter, when the mouth portion 9 is directed upward, the liquid 11 blocked by the ball holding portion 22 flows down from the liquid return hole 32 and is returned into the container body 3.
Further, when a cap is attached to the mouth portion 9 after application, the ball 4 is pressed downward by the cap 6 through the pressing rib 17, and the lower portion of the ball 4 is the first cover of the upper end portion of the liquid injection port 27. Since the ring 11 is relatively strongly brought into contact with the contact portion 35, the liquid 11 in the container body 3 is blocked by the first contacted portion 35, and the liquid 11 unexpectedly flows out from the tip side of the ball 4 to the outside. Can be prevented.

FIG. 3 shows a second embodiment. As shown in FIG. 3, one end of the liquid suction member 30 is spaced downward from the ball 4, and a liquid reservoir 39 is provided between the ball 4 and one end of the liquid suction member 30.
Is provided. The liquid reservoir 39 is disposed at the upper portion of the holding cylinder portion 26, and the outer peripheral portion (lower portion) of the ball 4 is immersed in the liquid reservoir 39. The other points are the same as those in the first embodiment.

In the case of the second embodiment, in a state where the roll-on container 1 is installed on a table or the like with the mouth portion 9 facing upward, the liquid 11 sucked up by the capillary action by the liquid suction member 30 is stored in the liquid reservoir 39, and this The outer periphery of the ball 4 is immersed in the upper part of the liquid reservoir 39, where the liquid 11 can be supplied to the ball 4 to allow the liquid 11 to adhere to the ball 4.
4 and 5 show a third embodiment. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the blocking wall portion 23 is formed in a circular arc shape along the lower surface of the ball 4, and a plurality of storage recesses 40 are formed radially on the upper surface side. A plurality of extended protrusions 41 extending radially along the upper surface of the blocking wall portion 23 are provided at the upper end portion of the liquid suction member 30, and the plurality of extended protrusions 41 are respectively stored and held in the storage recesses 40. It is made to contact | abut to the lower surface of. One or a plurality of liquid return holes 32 are provided between the adjacent extended protrusions 41 of the blocking wall 23.

In the case of the present embodiment, the upper end portion of the liquid suction member 30 abuts over a wide area via the plurality of extended protrusions 41 so that the liquid 11 is easily supplied to the ball 4. In addition, the upper end of the liquid suction member 30 is fixed to the ball holding cover 5 by storing and holding the plurality of extended protrusions 41 in the storage recess 40.
In the above embodiment, the liquid return hole 32 is provided in the ball holding cover 5, but the liquid 11 flows out to the tip side of the ball 4 when the ball 4 comes into contact with the contacted portions 35 and 36. For example, the liquid return hole 32 of the ball holding cover 5 may be omitted.

  In the above embodiment, the ball holding cover 5 is provided with the first contacted portion 35 and the second contacted portion 36 with which the ball 4 comes into contact. Only one of the first contacted part 35 and the second contacted part 36 may be provided. In addition, when the ball 4 is strongly fitted to the ball holding portion 22 and the liquid 11 can be sufficiently prevented from flowing out to the tip end side of the ball 4, the first abutted portion 35 and the second contacted portion 35 and the second abutting portion 35 are provided. Both of the contacted portions 36 may be omitted.

Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the liquid suction member 30 is comprised with the nonwoven fabric, it replaces with this and the liquid suction member 30 is sucked up by the capillary phenomenon with the liquid 11 with a woven fabric, a cotton string, sponge, etc. It may be configured.
Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the liquid suction member 30 sucks up the liquid 11 by capillary action, it replaces with this, and the liquid suction member 30 is the inside of the container main body 3 by pressure other than capillary action, and other suction | attraction forces.
