  As described above, the application member 3 is a member that is attached to the opening of the mouth portion 23a in the neck portion 23 and is disposed so as to close the opening. The application member 3 has excellent absorption and release properties of the application liquid, and has high strength and touch. It is formed of a material that includes a soft porous body that is good. Specifically, natural rubber, foamed urethane, foamed styrene, or the like can be used as the material for the soft porous body. The pore diameter of the porous body is preferably in the range of 50 to 250 μm, for example. It is preferable for the pore diameter to be in this range because the coating solution retains well and the coating solution has good permeability and release properties. Further, the geometric structure of the soft porous body (particle structure, sponge structure, balloon structure, honeycomb structure, etc.) in the application member 3, the dispersed state or form of the pores (hollow structure, fibril structure, etc.) ), Pore distribution, thickness, etc. are not particularly limited as long as the coating liquid can be discharged to the outside of the container.

  Although it does not specifically limit as a coating liquid accommodated in the container main body 2, It is conventionally used for the purpose of relieving symptoms, such as a stiff shoulder, a back pain, joint pain, and a bruise, or the purpose of an insect bite or itching prevention. A coating solution such as an analgesic anti-inflammatory solution can be used.

  Here, in the coating container 1 according to the present invention, the projection surface from above the cap 4 screwed into the mouth portion 23a is disposed within the projection surface from above the container body 2 as shown in FIG. Can be configured. In FIG. 7, the portion indicated by the solid line is the outline of the projection surface of the container body 2, and the portion indicated by the chain line is the outline of the projection surface of the cap 4.

  In order to apply the application liquid to the surface to be applied using the application container 1 having such a configuration, the body part 22 of the container body 2 is grasped with fingers, the cap 4 is removed, and the neck part 23 is moved downward. This is performed by inclining the surface of the coating member 3 against the surface to be coated such as the skin while the coating member 3 is impregnated with the coating liquid. Alternatively, before the surface of the application member 3 is pressed against the surface to be applied such as the skin, the neck 23 is once inclined downward, and the application member 3 is impregnated with the application liquid contained in the container body 2 and then applied. This is done by pressing the surface of the member 3 against the surface to be coated such as skin.

  The 1st trunk | drum 22a and the 3rd trunk | drum 22c of the container main body 2 are comprised so that a longitudinal direction may have a horizontal direction cross-sectional shape where it mutually orthogonally crosses mutually. With such a configuration, as described above, the projection surface from above the cap 4 screwed into the mouth portion 23a can be configured to be disposed within the projection surface from above the container body 2. When the application container 1 is placed, the stability is extremely high, and it is more difficult to fall down. In particular, even if the remaining amount of the coating liquid decreases and the center of gravity of the entire application container containing the coating liquid moves to the tip of the neck than the position of the center of gravity when the remaining amount of coating liquid is large, this center of gravity The amount of horizontal displacement of the position can be reduced. As a result, it is possible to effectively suppress slight vibrations and the occurrence of a situation in which the hand or object hits lightly, and the convenience of the user of the application container 1 can be improved.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, the longitudinal direction in the horizontal cross section of the 3rd trunk | drum 22c and the extending | stretching direction of the neck part 23 extended | stretched toward the opening 23a from the 3rd trunk | drum 22c are on the projection surface from upper direction. , So as to be substantially orthogonal. With such a configuration, for example, when the neck portion 23 and the trunk portion 22 of the container body 2 are inserted from the neck of the clothes and the coating liquid is applied to the shoulders and back, the horizontal direction of the third trunk portion 22c. The longitudinal direction in the cross section is substantially parallel to the skin surface (application surface) of the shoulder or back. In other words, the lateral direction of the third torso portion 22c is substantially perpendicular to the skin surface of the shoulder or back, and therefore the gap between the skin surface of the shoulder or back and the clothes is narrow. However, the application container 1 can be operated to smoothly apply the application liquid to the surface to be applied, and the convenience of the user of the application container 1 can be improved.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, the horizontal cross-sectional shape of the 1st trunk | drum 22a is carrying out the substantially oval shape which makes the front-back direction a longitudinal direction, and the curvature radius of a rear side (opposite side of an opening surface) is a front side (opening). Surface) is formed to be smaller than the radius of curvature. By forming in this way, when the user applies the coating liquid to the shoulder or back, the index finger and the middle finger support the arc having a small radius of curvature of the first torso 22a, and the thumb is the first torso. Since the portion 22a is supported on an arc having a large curvature radius, the application container 1 can be stably held, and the convenience of the user of the application container 1 can be improved.

  In the above embodiment, the second body portion 22b and the third body portion 22c form a space S below the neck portion 23, as shown in FIG. By doing in this way, when the user applies the application liquid on the shoulder and back, the upper part of the shoulder can enter the space S, so that the application container 1 is used on the shoulder and back in a stable state. It becomes possible, and the convenience of the user of the application container 1 can be improved. In particular, since the second body portion 22b is formed so as to continue to the first body portion 22a and gradually reduce the diameter upward and to continue to the second body portion 22c, the space portion S is formed to be long in the vertical direction. Therefore, it becomes possible to use the application container 1 on the shoulder and back portion in a more stable state, and the convenience of the user of the application container 1 can be improved. In addition, since the second body portion 22b has a curved portion 25 whose diameter is convex inward in the radial direction along the axial direction, the application container 1 is connected to the skin surface of the shoulder or back and the clothes. Even when the gap is narrow, it is possible to allow the application container 1 to enter through the upper part of the shoulder, and it is possible to use the application container 1 on the shoulder and back in a stable state. The convenience for the user can be improved.

  The vertical length L1 of the first body 22a is preferably shorter than the vertical length L2 of the second body 22b plus the vertical length L3 of the third body 22c. . That is, L1 <L2 + L3 is desirable, and L1 <(L2 + L3) / 2 is more preferable. With this configuration, the space portion S can be formed longer in the vertical direction, so that the application container 1 can be used in a more stable state and over a wide range of shoulders and back portions. The convenience of the user can be improved.

  Moreover, in the coating container 1 which concerns on this invention, the minimum value of the area of the horizontal direction cross section in the 3rd trunk | drum 22c is 40% or more and 70% or less of the maximum value of the area of the horizontal cross section in the 1st trunk | drum 22a. It is preferable to form so that it may become a range, and the range of 50% or more and 60% or less is more preferable. By setting such a range, for example, when the first body 22a of the container body 2 is gripped with fingers and pressure is applied to the first body 22a to slightly deform the first body 22a In addition, in the third barrel portion 22c, an internal pressure equal to or higher than the pressure applied in the first barrel portion 22a can be generated. Therefore, even when the remaining amount of the coating liquid decreases, the coating liquid is applied to the coating member by increasing the internal pressure in the vicinity of the third barrel 22c by pressing and deforming the first barrel 22a of the container body 2. It is possible to supply to the side 3 and efficiently impregnate the application member 3, and the convenience of the user of the application container 1 can be improved.

  Such a coating container 1 can be manufactured by publicly known blow molding such as injection blow molding. As for the internal volume of the application container 1, 30-150 mL is preferable as the quantity of the content, for example. The height of the application container 1 is preferably 10 to 20 cm.

  The application container 1 according to the present invention has been described above, but the specific configuration is not limited to the above embodiment. For example, you may comprise in the inner surface of the container main body 2 so that the filament extended toward the opening part 23a from the trunk | drum 22 may be formed. Various forms of the filament can be adopted, and for example, it may be configured by a groove formed on the inner surface of the container body 2 or may be configured by a protrusion that is convex with respect to the inner surface of the container body 2. Good. The number of filaments is not particularly limited, and may be single or plural. By forming such a filament on the inner surface of the container main body 2, even when the remaining amount of the coating liquid is reduced, the coating liquid can be quickly guided to the coating member 3 side. More specifically, when the remaining amount of the coating liquid decreases, the coating liquid spreads on the inner surface of the container body 2 and flows even if the neck portion 23 is tilted downward so as to impregnate the coating member 3 with the coating liquid. Therefore, it takes a long time to impregnate the coating member 3 with the coating liquid, but when the filament is formed on the inner surface of the container body 2, the coating liquid can be transmitted to the filament and allowed to flow down, It is possible to prevent the coating liquid from spreading and flowing on the inner surface of the container body 2 and to quickly guide the coating liquid to the coating member 3 side, thereby improving the convenience of the user of the coating container 1. it can.

  Moreover, although the formation position of the above-mentioned filament is not specifically limited, it may form in the inner surface of the container main body 2 with which the projection surface from the upper direction of the cap 4 screwed by the opening part 23a overlaps. preferable. The formation position of such a line is a position where the coating liquid naturally travels along the line when the operation of pressing the surface of the coating member 3 against the surface to be coated such as the skin while tilting the neck portion 23 downward is performed. Therefore, when the remaining amount of the coating liquid stored in the container body 2 is reduced, the operation of guiding the coating liquid to the coating member 3 side and the operation of applying the coating liquid to the surface to be coated are performed in a series of operations. It becomes possible, and the convenience of the user of the application container 1 can be improved.

  Moreover, the horizontal cross-sectional shape of the 1st trunk | drum 22a may be an ellipse which makes the front-back direction a longitudinal direction.
