Description

本発明は、容器本体に装着することで定量注出容器を構成することができ、容器本体内に充填されている液体から所定量の液体を正確に計量した上で注出し得る定量注出装置に関する。   The present invention is capable of constituting a quantitative dispensing container by being mounted on a container body, and capable of dispensing a liquid after accurately measuring a predetermined amount of liquid from the liquid filled in the container body. About.

内部に充填された育毛剤等の液体から所定量を計量し、計量した所定量の液体だけを注出可能にするための定量注出容器として、種々のものが提案されている。   Various types of quantitative dispensing containers have been proposed for measuring a predetermined amount from a liquid such as a hair-restoring agent filled therein and allowing only a predetermined amount of liquid to be dispensed.

例えば、下記の特許文献1では、次の定量注出容器が開示されている(例えば、同文献1の図1及び段落0012〜0014参照)。すなわち、正立状態から倒立状態に上下逆転させて、壜体8内に充填された液体を計量室A側空間に流入させて充満させた上で、正立状態に復帰させれば、余分な液体が壜体8側に流れ落ちて戻され、計量室A内には所定量の液体だけが残って計量される。この状態で、操作体5を回転操作して、切替体4と弁体6とを回転上昇させて壜体8側と計量室A側との間を遮断した後、再度、倒立状態にすれば、計量室A内の所定量の液体を抽出口から塗布し得る、というものが開示されている。   For example, Patent Document 1 below discloses the following quantitative dispensing container (for example, see FIG. 1 and Paragraphs 0012 to 0014 of Document 1). That is, if the liquid is filled up in the measuring chamber A side space by reversing the upside-down state from the upright state to the inverted state, and then returning to the upright state, the excess liquid can be obtained. The liquid flows down to the housing 8 side and is returned, and only a predetermined amount of liquid remains in the measuring chamber A and is measured. In this state, if the operating body 5 is rotated, the switching body 4 and the valve body 6 are rotated and lifted so that the space between the housing 8 side and the measuring chamber A side is interrupted, and then the state is inverted again. In the measurement chamber A, a predetermined amount of liquid can be applied from the extraction port.

又、特許文献2では、次の定量注出容器が開示されている(例えば、同文献2の図1,図2及び段落0014等参照)。すなわち、計量液貯留筒21を回転操作することで、計量液貯留筒21をこれが螺合している連結筒6から回転上昇させ、これにより、計量室形成短筒9の上部を開口させる。この状態で、全体を正立状態から倒立状態に上下逆転させることで計量室12側空間に液体を流入させた後に、再度、正立状態に復帰させれば、余分な液体が容器体1側に流れ落ちて戻され、計量室12内に所定量の液体だけが残って計量される。そして、この状態で計量液保留筒21を前記とは逆方向に回転操作することで、計量液貯留筒21を回転下降させ、これにより、計量室形成短筒9の上部に栓体35で閉塞する。その上で、再度、倒立状態に上下逆転させて使用する、というものが開示されている。   Patent Document 2 discloses the following quantitative dispensing container (see, for example, FIGS. 1 and 2 and paragraph 0014 of the same Document 2). That is, by rotating the measuring liquid storage cylinder 21, the measuring liquid storage cylinder 21 is rotated up from the connecting cylinder 6 to which the measuring liquid storage cylinder 21 is screwed, thereby opening the upper part of the measuring chamber forming short cylinder 9. In this state, the liquid is allowed to flow back into the measuring chamber 12 side space by reversing the entire body from the upright state to the inverted state, and then returned to the upright state. Then, only a predetermined amount of liquid remains in the measuring chamber 12 and is weighed. In this state, the measuring liquid storage cylinder 21 is rotated in the direction opposite to the above to cause the measuring liquid storage cylinder 21 to be rotated and lowered, so that the upper part of the measuring chamber forming short cylinder 9 is blocked by the plug body 35. To do. Then, it is disclosed that it is used again upside down in an inverted state.

さらに、特許文献3では、次の定量注出容器が開示されている(例えば、同文献3の図1,図3〜図5)。すなわち、正立状態から倒立状態に上下逆転させて、容器体2内に充填された液体を液導入孔7を通して計量室B側空間に流入させた上で、正立状態に復帰させれば、余分な液体が容器体2側に流れ落ちて戻され、計量室B内に所定量の液体だけが残って計量される。この状態で、可動部Eを定位置回転操作して回動筒17を共回りされることで液導入孔7を閉止した後、再度、倒立状態にすれば、計量室A内の所定量の液体を抽出口から塗布し得る、というものが開示されている。   Further, Patent Document 3 discloses the following quantitative dispensing container (for example, FIGS. 1 and 3 to 5 in the document 3). That is, if the liquid filled in the container body 2 is turned upside down from the upright state to the inverted state, and the liquid is introduced into the space on the side of the measuring chamber B through the liquid introduction hole 7, and then returned to the upright state, Excess liquid flows down to the container body 2 and returns to the container body 2, and only a predetermined amount of liquid remains in the measuring chamber B and is weighed. In this state, if the liquid introduction hole 7 is closed by rotating the movable part E at a fixed position and being rotated together with the rotating cylinder 17, then if the liquid is inverted again, a predetermined amount in the measuring chamber A is obtained. It is disclosed that a liquid can be applied from an extraction port.

しかしながら、従来の定量注出容器を構成する定量注出装置においては、計量及び計量した液体の注出までにユーザーが行うべき操作に手間がかかる他、種々の不都合を抱えている。   However, the conventional quantitative dispensing device that constitutes the quantitative dispensing container has various inconveniences in addition to taking time and effort for the user to perform before dispensing the measured liquid.

すなわち、倒立状態にして液体を注出させて使用するためには、その前に、1回に使用すべき所定量の液体の計量のために、正立状態から倒立状態にした上で、再度、正立状態に復帰させるという操作が必要になる。このため、計量操作に手間がかかることになる。しかも、正立状態に復帰させる操作を慌てて行うと、計量室にすり切り状態で収容されている液面が揺れて流れ落ちてしまうおそれがある。特に、計量室において自由液面の状態で液体が収容された状態となるため、計量室側空間を容器本体側と遮断するための操作が完了するまで、細心の注意をもって取り扱わないと、前記と同様に計量室内の液体が流れ落ち易くなる。このため、所定量の液体を計量するという計量機能自体の正確性について不確実さを抱えているという不都合がある。   That is, in order to dispense and use the liquid in an inverted state, before measuring the predetermined amount of liquid to be used at one time, the liquid is changed from the upright state to the inverted state, and then again. The operation of returning to the upright state is required. For this reason, it takes time to perform the weighing operation. Moreover, if the operation for returning to the upright state is performed, there is a risk that the liquid level stored in the weighing chamber will be shaken and flowed down. In particular, since the liquid is stored in a free liquid level state in the measurement chamber, unless the operation for shutting off the measurement chamber side space from the container body side is completed, it must be handled with the utmost care. Similarly, the liquid in the measuring chamber easily flows down. For this reason, there is an inconvenience that there is uncertainty about the accuracy of the measuring function itself that measures a predetermined amount of liquid.

又、計量後に、液体が充填されている容器本体側の空間と、計量室側の空間とを互いに遮断したとしても、その遮断手法がいずれか一方の空間側から他方の空間側に対し栓体等を嵌入させる等の手段により開口を閉止させるという手法を用いると、計量室側の空間に内圧変動が生じてしまい、この内圧変動に起因して液漏れや使用時に液体が勢いよく飛び出してしまう等の不都合を引き起こすおそれがある。特に、液体が揮発性のものであると、計量室に収容された液体の自由液面から計量室側の空間に揮発し、より大きな内圧変動を生じさせ、前記の不都合の度合も増大してしまうことになる。   Moreover, even if the space on the container body side and the space on the measurement chamber side filled with liquid are shut off from each other after weighing, the blocking method is from one space side to the other space side. If a method of closing the opening by means such as inserting a liquid is used, fluctuations in internal pressure occur in the space on the measuring chamber side, and liquid leaks out at the time of use due to liquid leakage or use due to fluctuations in the internal pressure. There is a risk of inconvenience. In particular, if the liquid is volatile, it volatilizes from the free liquid level of the liquid contained in the measuring chamber to the space on the measuring chamber side, causing a larger internal pressure fluctuation, and increasing the degree of inconvenience described above. It will end up.

このような内圧変動の解除のために、前記の特許文献3ではノズルの口頸部3に装着させた棒栓6に通気路11を形成し、正立状態と倒立状態との間の状態移行時に内外を連通させるための弁体12を通気路11に嵌合させることが提案されている(特許文献3の図1及び段落0021参照)。しかしながら、部品点数の増大化のみならず、構造の複雑化により作動不良を招くおそれがある。   In order to cancel such an internal pressure fluctuation, in Patent Document 3, the air passage 11 is formed in the rod plug 6 attached to the mouth neck portion 3 of the nozzle, and the state shifts between the upright state and the inverted state. It has been proposed that a valve body 12 for connecting the inside and outside is sometimes fitted to the air passage 11 (see FIG. 1 of Patent Document 3 and paragraph 0021). However, not only the number of parts is increased but also the structure is complicated, which may cause malfunction.

さらに、非使用時である保管時には、横倒し等のどのような状態にしたとしても、容器本体側から計量室側空間に液体が流れ込まないようにして、密封性を高めることが求められる。   Further, during storage that is not in use, it is required to improve the sealing performance by preventing liquid from flowing from the container main body side into the measuring chamber side space in any state such as lying down.

本発明は、このような事情に鑑みてなされたものであり、その目的とするところは、以上の如き不都合を解消し得る定量注出装置を提供することにある。すなわち、計量及び計量後の液体の注出という使用操作の手間を省き、液漏れのおそれのない確実な保管状態を維持しつつ、正確な計量と、容易かつ確実な使用とを図り得る定量注出装置を提供することにある。   The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a quantitative dispensing device that can eliminate the above disadvantages. In other words, it eliminates the trouble of use operation of weighing and dispensing the liquid after weighing, and maintains a reliable storage state without risk of liquid leakage while maintaining accurate weighing and easy and reliable use. To provide a dispensing device.

本発明では、液体を収容するための容器本体に装着して用いられる定量注出装置を対象にして、次の技術的手段を講じた。すなわち、先端部に連通孔が形成された筒体部を有し、前記容器本体の口部に装着可能であって装着されると前記容器本体内と連通することになる口部部材と、前記筒体部に外挿された状態で前記口部部材に対し螺合されて回転作動により前記連通孔に対し近接離反方向に進退可能なスライダーと、先端部に開閉切換可能なノズル孔及びこのノズル孔に臨む空間内に区画形成された計量室を有し、前記口部部材に対し定位置回転可能に結合されるノズルカバーと、を備えることとした。そして、前記スライダーとして、前記ノズルカバーと回転力が伝達可能に係合され、前記ノズルカバーからの回転力の伝達を受けて回転作動されることにより、前記連通孔を遮蔽して閉止する後退位置と、前記連通孔を開放する前進位置との間で進退作動可能に構成し、かつ、前記後退位置において前記ノズル孔を臨む空間を計量すべき所定の容積に区画して仕切るように構成することとした(請求項1)。   In the present invention, the following technical means have been taken for a quantitative dispensing device used by being mounted on a container body for containing a liquid. That is, it has a cylindrical body part having a communication hole formed at the tip, and can be attached to the mouth part of the container body, and when attached, the mouth member that communicates with the inside of the container body, A slider that is screwed into the mouth member in a state of being externally inserted into the cylindrical body and can be moved forward and backward in the approaching / separating direction with respect to the communication hole by a rotation operation, a nozzle hole that can be opened and closed at the tip, and the nozzle And a nozzle cover having a measuring chamber defined in a space facing the hole and coupled to the mouth member so as to be rotatable at a fixed position. The slider is engaged with the nozzle cover so as to be able to transmit a rotational force, and is rotated by receiving the rotational force transmitted from the nozzle cover, thereby closing the communication hole so as to close it. And a forward movement position that opens the communication hole, and a space that faces the nozzle hole in the backward position is partitioned into a predetermined volume to be measured and partitioned. (Claim 1).

本発明の場合、液体を充填させた容器本体内に対し、本定量注出装置を装着すると定量注出容器となる。そして、ノズルカバーを所定回転方向に回転操作すると、その回転操作力がノズルカバーからスライダーに伝達され、スライダーは回転作動される。このスライダーの回転作動により、スライダーは後退位置から前進位置まで移動して連通孔が開放される。これにより、計量室と、口部部材内を介して容器本体内とが連通した状態になる。そこで、全体を正立状態から倒立状態に変換すると、容器本体内の液体が連通孔を通して計量室内に流入して充満する。次に、ノズルカバーを前記回転方向とは逆向きに回転操作すれば、スライダーも同期して逆回転方向に回転作動され、スライダーは前進位置から後退位置に復帰して連通孔は閉止状態に変換される。これにより、計量室内には計量室の容積に相当する所定量の液体が分離収容されるため、ノズル孔を開切換すれば、計量室内に充満状態で計量された所定量の液体の注出が可能となる。以上の本発明によれば、正立状態での回転操作の後に倒立状態にして、倒立状態のまま、逆回転方向に回転操作するだけで計量操作が完了し、そのまま注出操作が可能となる。このため、従来の如く、正立状態から倒立状態にした後、倒立状態から正立状態に戻して計量、そして、再度、正立状態から倒立状態にして注出操作、というような二度手間的な操作を省力化し得る。そして、使用後に正立状態に戻しても、既に、連通孔は閉止状態に復帰されているため、容器本体内の液体を密封状態に維持し、そのままの状態で保管が可能となる。   In the case of the present invention, when the quantitative dispensing device is attached to the inside of the container main body filled with a liquid, a quantitative dispensing container is obtained. When the nozzle cover is rotated in a predetermined rotation direction, the rotational operation force is transmitted from the nozzle cover to the slider, and the slider is rotated. By the rotation operation of the slider, the slider moves from the retracted position to the advanced position, and the communication hole is opened. Thereby, it will be in the state which the measurement chamber and the inside of a container main body communicated through the inside of a mouth part member. Therefore, when the whole is converted from the upright state to the inverted state, the liquid in the container body flows into the measuring chamber through the communication hole and fills up. Next, if the nozzle cover is rotated in the direction opposite to the rotation direction, the slider is also rotated in the reverse rotation direction synchronously, the slider returns from the forward position to the reverse position, and the communication hole is converted to a closed state. Is done. As a result, since a predetermined amount of liquid corresponding to the volume of the measuring chamber is separated and accommodated in the measuring chamber, if the nozzle hole is switched to open, the predetermined amount of liquid measured in a full state in the measuring chamber can be dispensed. It becomes possible. According to the present invention described above, the weighing operation is completed simply by rotating in the reverse rotation direction in the inverted state after the rotating operation in the upright state, and the dispensing operation can be performed as it is. . For this reason, as before, after changing from the upright state to the upright state, measuring from the upside down state to the upright state, and again, the dispensing operation from the upright state to the inverted state is performed twice. Can save labor. And even if it returns to an upright state after use, since the communicating hole has already been returned to the closed state, the liquid in the container main body can be maintained in a sealed state and stored as it is.

本発明の定量注出装置において、筒体部の連通孔を近接離反方向に直交する先端面に開口させる一方、スライダーとして、前記筒体部の先端面に対し近接離反方向に相対向する対向面を有するものとし、かつ、後退位置において、その対向面が筒体部の先端面を遮蔽することで連通孔を閉止する構成とすることができる(請求項2)。このようにすることにより、スライダーが後退位置にあるときには、連通孔が形成された筒体部の先端面をスライダーの対向面が遮蔽することで、連通孔が閉止されることになる。つまり、スライダーの進退移動方向である近接離反方向に直交する相対向面(筒体部の先端面とスライダーの対向面)同士の接触により、連通孔が閉止されることになる。このため、連通孔の閉止をより確実に行うことが可能となり、密封性を高め得る。   In the quantitative dispensing device of the present invention, the communicating hole of the cylindrical body portion is opened at the distal end surface orthogonal to the approaching / separating direction, and the opposing surface as the slider is opposed to the distal end surface of the cylindrical body portion in the approaching / separating direction. In addition, at the retracted position, the opposing surface shields the tip end surface of the cylindrical body portion so that the communication hole is closed (Claim 2). By doing so, when the slider is in the retracted position, the communication hole is closed by the opposing surface of the slider shielding the tip end surface of the cylindrical body portion where the communication hole is formed. That is, the communication hole is closed by contact between the opposing surfaces (the tip surface of the cylindrical body portion and the opposing surface of the slider) perpendicular to the approaching / separating direction that is the advancing / retreating direction of the slider. For this reason, it becomes possible to close a communicating hole more reliably and can improve sealing performance.

さらに、この場合、スライダーとして、先端部を備えた筒状に構成し、この先端部内の底面によって前記対向面を構成し、この底面に対し、近接離反方向に投影したとき連通孔と重ならない部位に透孔を形成するようにすることができる(請求項3)。このようにすることにより、スライダーが後退位置にあって、その対向面が筒体部の先端面を遮蔽して連通孔が閉止されたときには、スライダー側の透孔を連通孔と確実に遮断された状態にすることが可能となる。その一方、スライダーが前進位置にあって、その対向面が筒体部の先端面から離れて連通孔が開放されたときには、スライダー側の透孔を連通孔と確実に連通した状態に変換させることが可能になる。   Further, in this case, the slider is formed in a cylindrical shape having a tip portion, and the opposed surface is constituted by the bottom surface in the tip portion, and the portion that does not overlap with the communication hole when projected in the approaching / separating direction with respect to the bottom surface. A through-hole can be formed in the (Claim 3). By doing so, when the slider is in the retracted position and its opposing surface shields the tip end surface of the cylindrical body portion and the communication hole is closed, the slider-side through hole is reliably blocked from the communication hole. It becomes possible to be in the state. On the other hand, when the slider is in the forward movement position and its facing surface is separated from the tip surface of the cylindrical body and the communication hole is opened, the slider-side through hole is converted into a state where it is reliably communicated with the communication hole. Is possible.

又、本発明の定量注出装置において、ノズルカバーと口部部材との間、又は、スライダーと口部部材との間のいずれか一方に、スライダーの回転移動量を後退位置と前進位置との間の進退移動量と対応するように規制するためのストッパを設けるようにすることができる(請求項4)。このようにすることにより、ノズルカバーの回転操作量をユーザー自身が調整する必要なく、ストッパにより規制される位置まで回転操作するだけで、スライダーを確実に後退位置や前進位置の各位置まで進退移動させることが可能となる。   In the quantitative dispensing device of the present invention, the rotational movement amount of the slider is set between the backward position and the forward position between the nozzle cover and the mouth member or between the slider and the mouth member. It is possible to provide a stopper for regulating so as to correspond to the amount of forward and backward movement. In this way, the slider can be moved forward and backward to the retreat position and forward position by simply rotating the nozzle cover to the position regulated by the stopper without having to adjust the amount of rotation of the nozzle cover. It becomes possible to make it.

本発明の定量注出装置において、さらに、ノズル孔を計量室側から閉止する弁体と、スライダー又は弁体のいずれか一方又は双方から突出し、スライダーが前進位置にあるときに当接することにより弁体の計量室側への後退を阻止するための凸部とを備えるようにすることができる(請求項5)。このようにすることにより、計量のために、スライダーが回転作動されてスライダーが前進位置に移動すれば、連通孔が開放されて計量室側と口部部材及び容器本体側とが互いに連通状態になると同時に、凸部が弁体に当接し、この凸部により弁体の後退側への移動が阻止されることになる。このため、ノズル孔が確実に閉状態にロックされることになり、例えば、容器本体を倒立状態に変換するなどの作業の際に弁体に触れたり等したとしても、弁体が後退することはなく、これにより、計量室からの液漏れ等の不都合の発生を確実に回避した状態で、倒立状態への変換作業を行い得ることになる。   In the quantitative dispensing device of the present invention, the valve is further protruded from one or both of the valve body that closes the nozzle hole from the measuring chamber side and the slider or the valve body, and comes into contact when the slider is in the forward position. And a convex portion for preventing the body from retreating toward the measuring chamber. In this way, when the slider is rotated and moved to the forward position for measurement, the communication hole is opened and the measurement chamber side, the mouth member and the container body side are in communication with each other. At the same time, the convex part comes into contact with the valve body, and the convex part prevents the valve body from moving backward. For this reason, the nozzle hole is surely locked in the closed state. For example, even if the valve body is touched during an operation such as converting the container body to an inverted state, the valve body is retracted. Thus, the conversion operation to the inverted state can be performed in a state where the occurrence of inconvenience such as liquid leakage from the measuring chamber is reliably avoided.

さらに、本発明の定量注出装置において、ノズルカバーを覆うように口部部材に螺合されるキャップを備え、キャップとして、ノズルカバーと回転力が伝達可能に係合させるとともに、口部部材にねじ込まれてノズルカバーを覆った閉キャップ状態においてスライダーが後退位置に設定されるようにノズルカバー及びスライダーと係合させる一方、閉キャップ状態から開方向への回転操作によりスライダーが前進位置に位置変換されるように回転操作量とスライダーの進退移動量とを対応付けるようにすることができる(請求項6)。このようにすることにより、閉キャップ状態からキャップを開方向に回転操作すれば、その回転力がノズルカバーを介してスライダーに伝達され、スライダーを前進位置に位置変換させることが可能となる。逆に、キャップをノズルカバーに被せて逆方向に回転操作すれば、キャップはノズルカバーが覆われた閉キャップ状態に至り、スライダーは後退位置に位置変換させることが可能となる。以上より、閉キャップ状態にあれば、スライダーは後退位置に位置付けられて連通孔が閉止され、確実に液漏れ等の無い保管状態に維持可能となり、又、閉キャップ状態から開方向に回転操作すれば、スライダーを前進位置に位置変換させて連通孔が開放され、以後の計量が可能となり、さらに、注出使用後にキャップを被せて閉キャップ状態にすれば、スライダーは後退位置に戻って連通孔を閉止させることが可能となる。   The quantitative dispensing device of the present invention further includes a cap that is screwed to the mouth member so as to cover the nozzle cover, and the cap is engaged with the nozzle cover so that rotational force can be transmitted. Engage with the nozzle cover and slider so that the slider is set to the retracted position in the closed cap state where it is screwed and covers the nozzle cover, while the slider is moved to the forward position by rotating from the closed cap state to the opening direction. As described above, the rotational operation amount and the forward / backward movement amount of the slider can be associated with each other (claim 6). In this way, if the cap is rotated in the opening direction from the closed cap state, the rotational force is transmitted to the slider via the nozzle cover, and the slider can be converted into the forward position. On the contrary, if the cap is put on the nozzle cover and rotated in the reverse direction, the cap reaches a closed cap state in which the nozzle cover is covered, and the slider can be moved to the retracted position. From the above, when in the closed cap state, the slider is positioned in the retracted position and the communication hole is closed, so that it can be reliably maintained in a storage state free from liquid leakage, and can be rotated from the closed cap state to the opening direction. For example, the position of the slider is changed to the forward position, the communication hole is opened, and subsequent weighing is possible.Furthermore, if the cap is put on and closed after pouring, the slider returns to the retracted position and the communication hole is opened. Can be closed.

以上、説明したように、本発明の定量注出装置によれば、液体を充填させた容器本体内に対し、本発明の定量注出装置を装着すれば、定量注出容器を即座に構成することができる。そして、ノズルカバーを所定回転方向に回転操作すると、その回転操作力がノズルカバーからスライダーに伝達され、スライダーを回転作動させることができ、この回転作動により、スライダーを後退位置から前進位置まで移動して連通孔を開放させることができる。これにより、計量室と、口部部材内を介して容器本体内とが連通した状態にすることができる。そこで、全体を正立状態から倒立状態に変換すると、容器本体内の液体が連通孔を通して計量室内に流入して充満し、次に、ノズルカバーを前記回転方向とは逆向きに回転操作することにより、スライダーを同期し逆回転方向に回転作動させる。これにより、スライダーが前進位置から後退位置に復帰して連通孔が閉止状態に変換され、計量室内に、計量室の容積に相当する所定量の液体を分離収容させることができる。そして、ノズル孔を開切換すれば、計量室内に充満状態で計量された所定量の液体を注出させることができるようになる。以上の本発明によれば、回転操作の後に倒立状態にし、倒立状態のまま、逆回転方向に回転操作するだけで計量操作を完了させることができ、そのまま注出操作を行うことができる。このため、従来の如く、正立状態から倒立状態にした後、倒立状態から正立状態に戻して計量、そして、再度、正立状態から倒立状態にして注出操作、というような二度手間的な操作を省力化することができる。加えて、使用後に正立状態に戻しても、既に、連通孔は閉止状態に復帰されているため、容器本体内の液体を密封状態に維持することができ、たとえ転倒させたとしても液漏れすることなく、確実に保管することができるようになる。   As described above, according to the quantitative dispensing device of the present invention, if the quantitative dispensing device of the present invention is attached to the inside of the container body filled with liquid, the quantitative dispensing container is configured immediately. be able to. When the nozzle cover is rotated in a predetermined rotation direction, the rotational operating force is transmitted from the nozzle cover to the slider, and the slider can be rotated. By this rotation, the slider is moved from the retracted position to the advanced position. Thus, the communication hole can be opened. Thereby, it can be set as the state which the measurement chamber and the inside of a container main body communicated through the inside of a mouth part member. Therefore, when the whole is converted from the upright state to the inverted state, the liquid in the container body flows into the measuring chamber through the communication hole and is filled, and then the nozzle cover is rotated in the direction opposite to the rotation direction. Thus, the slider is synchronized and rotated in the reverse direction. As a result, the slider returns from the forward position to the backward position, and the communication hole is converted into a closed state, so that a predetermined amount of liquid corresponding to the volume of the measuring chamber can be separated and accommodated in the measuring chamber. If the nozzle hole is switched to open, a predetermined amount of liquid measured in a full state can be dispensed. According to the present invention described above, the weighing operation can be completed simply by rotating in the reverse rotation direction in the inverted state after the rotating operation, and the pouring operation can be performed as it is. For this reason, as before, after changing from the upright state to the upright state, measuring from the upside down state to the upright state, and again, the dispensing operation from the upright state to the inverted state is performed twice. Labor can be saved. In addition, even if it is returned to the upright state after use, the communication hole has already been returned to the closed state, so that the liquid in the container body can be maintained in a sealed state. Without having to do so.

以下、本発明の実施形態を図面に基づいて説明する。   Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

図1及び図2は本発明の一実施形態に係る定量注出装置1を装着した定量注出容器を示している。定量注出容器は、非使用時には内部に液体(例えば育毛剤等の液剤)が充填された状態で保管され、使用時には内部の液体から計量された一定量の液体だけを注出(塗布)し得るようにしたものである。そして、この定量注出容器は、正立状態から1度だけ倒立状態にすれば、そのままの状態で計量と注出とが可能になるものである。これにより、従来の如く、正立状態から倒立状態にし、さらに倒立状態から正立状態に戻すことで計量し、再度、倒立状態にした上で注出が可能となる、というような二度手間的な使用時操作をすることなく、計量及び注出を容易に可能となしたものである。なお、内部に充填される液体に制限はなく、特に育毛剤等の高揮発性の液剤であっても、不都合を何ら生じさせることなく、液漏れのおそれのない確実な保管状態を維持しつつ、正確な計量と、容易かつ確実な注出とを図り得るものである。以下の説明では、図1に示す状態を正立状態といい、天地逆転させた状態を倒立状態という。軸Xは定量注出装置の中心軸であり、軸X方向が後述のスライダー4が進退する近接離反方向である。正立状態において軸Xは上下方向に延び、軸X方向の進退移動である「昇降」の内、「昇」とは軸Xに沿って図1の上方に移動することを、「降」とは同様に下方に移動することをいう。   1 and 2 show a quantitative dispensing container equipped with a quantitative dispensing device 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention. When not in use, the fixed-volume dispensing container is stored with a liquid (for example, a liquid agent such as a hair growth agent) filled inside, and when in use, only a certain amount of liquid measured from the liquid inside is dispensed (applied). It ’s what you get. And if this fixed quantity dispensing container is inverted once from the upright state, it can be weighed and poured out as it is. This makes it possible to measure twice by changing from an upright state to an upright state, returning to an upright state from the upright state, and dispensing again after making it upside down again. This makes it possible to easily weigh and dispense without any special operation. There is no limit to the liquid filled in the inside, and even in the case of a highly volatile liquid such as a hair restorer, while maintaining a reliable storage state that does not cause any liquid leakage without causing any inconvenience. Therefore, accurate weighing and easy and reliable dispensing can be achieved. In the following description, the state shown in FIG. 1 is referred to as an upright state, and the state reversed upside down is referred to as an inverted state. The axis X is the central axis of the quantitative dispensing device, and the direction of the axis X is the approaching / separating direction in which a slider 4 (described later) moves forward and backward. In the upright state, the axis X extends in the up-down direction, and “up / down”, which is an advancing / retreating movement in the direction of the axis X, means moving up along the axis X in FIG. Means moving downward as well.

定量注出容器は、液体Qが充填される容器本体2と、容器本体2の口部21に対し上下方向(軸X方向)への相対移動不能に結合される口部部材3と、口部部材3に対し螺合により昇降可能(軸X方向へ進退可能)に結合される筒状のスライダー4と、口部部材3に対し上下方向に定位置で回転可能に結合され、かつ、前記スライダー4に対し昇降のための回転力を伝達可能に係合されるノズルカバー5と、ノズルカバー5の上部内に装着され、ノズル孔50を開閉するためのものであって上向きの付勢力によりノズル孔50を閉状態に維持するスプリングバルブ6と、口部部材3に対し螺合により着脱可能に結合され、かつ、ノズルカバー5に対し回転操作力を伝達可能に関係付けられるキャップ7とを備えて構成されている。本実施形態では、以上の口部部材3、スライダー4、ノズルカバー5、スプリングバルブ6及びキャップ7によって、定量注出装置1が構成されている。   The fixed volume dispensing container includes a container body 2 filled with the liquid Q, a mouth member 3 coupled to the mouth portion 21 of the container body 2 so as not to move in the vertical direction (axis X direction), and the mouth portion. A cylindrical slider 4 coupled to the member 3 so as to be movable up and down by screwing (movable forward and backward in the axis X direction), and coupled to the mouth member 3 so as to be rotatable at a fixed position in the vertical direction. Nozzle cover 5 engaged so as to be able to transmit a rotational force for raising and lowering to 4, and mounted in the upper part of nozzle cover 5 for opening and closing nozzle hole 50, and nozzles by upward biasing force A spring valve 6 that maintains the hole 50 in a closed state, and a cap 7 that is detachably coupled to the mouth member 3 by screwing and that is associated with the nozzle cover 5 so as to be able to transmit a rotational operation force. Configured. In the present embodiment, the above-mentioned mouth member 3, slider 4, nozzle cover 5, spring valve 6 and cap 7 constitute the quantitative dispensing device 1.

定量注出装置1は、以下の詳細な説明により明らかなように、スライダー4が、内周側を口部部材3によりシールされ、かつ、外周側をノズルカバー5によりシールされた状態で、軸Xに沿って昇降移動することにより、口部部材3内(容器本体2内の空間)と、ノズルカバー5の上部内(後述の計量室54内の空間)との間を連通・非連通の各状態に相互に切換可能に構成したものである。加えて、スライダー4の昇降作動が、キャップ7に対する回転操作力をノズルカバー5を介してスライダー4に伝達することにより、あるいは、キャップ7が無くてもノズルカバー5に対する回転操作力をスライダー4に伝達することにより、可能となるように構成したものである。なお、以上の各構成要素はいずれも合成樹脂成形により形成することができ、容器本体2についてはガラス製の瓶体等により形成することもできる。   As will be apparent from the following detailed description, the quantitative dispensing device 1 has a slider 4 in a state where the inner peripheral side is sealed by the mouth member 3 and the outer peripheral side is sealed by the nozzle cover 5. By moving up and down along X, communication between the mouth member 3 (the space in the container main body 2) and the upper part of the nozzle cover 5 (the space in the measuring chamber 54 described later) is communicated / not communicated. Each state can be switched to each other. In addition, the lifting / lowering operation of the slider 4 transmits the rotational operation force for the cap 7 to the slider 4 via the nozzle cover 5, or the rotational operation force for the nozzle cover 5 is applied to the slider 4 without the cap 7. It is configured to be possible by transmitting. In addition, all the above components can be formed by synthetic resin molding, and the container body 2 can also be formed by a glass bottle or the like.

口部部材3(図3も併せて参照)は、容器本体2の口部21の開口端面に当接可能な環状板部30と、環状板部30から軸Xと同軸上にそれぞれ下向きに延びる中足筒31、下内筒32及び下外筒33と、同様に環状板部30から軸Xと同軸上にそれぞれ上向きに延びる上内筒34及び上外筒35とを一体に備えて構成されている。   The mouth portion member 3 (see also FIG. 3) extends downwardly on the annular plate portion 30 that can contact the opening end surface of the mouth portion 21 of the container body 2 and on the same axis as the axis X from the annular plate portion 30. A middle leg cylinder 31, a lower inner cylinder 32, and a lower outer cylinder 33, and an upper inner cylinder 34 and an upper outer cylinder 35 that extend upward coaxially with the axis X from the annular plate portion 30, respectively. ing.

中足筒31は、口部21内に対し上から圧入されて、環状板部30が口部21の開口端面に当接した状態では、その外周面が口部21の内周面に圧接状態で組み付けられるようになっている。これにより、容器本体2と口部部材3との間の接合面がシールされる。又、下内筒32は、口部21に対し外嵌されることにより、上下方向に対し相対移動不能な状態で容器本体2と結合されるようになっている。この相対移動不能な結合は、下内筒32の内周面と、口部21の外周面との間でのアンダーカット嵌合により行われる。すなわち、下内筒32の下端部から内周側に突出するリップ部321が、口部21の外周面から外周側に突出して下向き段差面が形成された凸条211を、素材の有する弾性に基づき上から乗り越えて互いに係合することにより結合される。   When the middle leg tube 31 is press-fitted into the mouth portion 21 from above and the annular plate portion 30 is in contact with the opening end surface of the mouth portion 21, the outer peripheral surface thereof is in pressure contact with the inner peripheral surface of the mouth portion 21. It can be assembled with. Thereby, the joint surface between the container main body 2 and the mouth part member 3 is sealed. Further, the lower inner cylinder 32 is externally fitted to the mouth portion 21 so as to be coupled to the container main body 2 in a state in which the lower inner cylinder 32 cannot move relative to the vertical direction. This unmovable connection is performed by undercut fitting between the inner peripheral surface of the lower inner cylinder 32 and the outer peripheral surface of the mouth portion 21. That is, the lip portion 321 that protrudes from the lower end portion of the lower inner cylinder 32 toward the inner peripheral side protrudes from the outer peripheral surface of the mouth portion 21 toward the outer peripheral side, and has a convex strip 211 formed with a downward stepped surface. Based on the above, they are joined by engaging over each other.

又、下外筒33の外周面には、所定ピッチのネジ溝331が形成され、キャップ7(図1参照)の後述のネジ山741が螺合されるようになっている。このネジ溝331とネジ山741との組み合わせにより、キャップ7が所定位置から軸X回りに所定回転角度(例えば90度)回転操作されると、キャップ7のネジ山741がネジ溝331から離脱してキャップ7が離脱し得るようになっている。さらに、下外筒33の内周面と口部21の外周面との間で軸X回りの回転止めがなされている。すなわち、詳細な図示を省略するが、口部21の外周面には外周側に突出するフランジ212が形成され、その周方向一部を切り欠いて上下に開放する溝となし、下外筒33の内周面には内周側に突出して上下方向に延びる縦リブが形成され、この縦リブを上から前記溝に差し込むことにより、口部21に対し下外筒33、ひいては口部部材3が周方向に回転しないように規制している。   Further, a screw groove 331 having a predetermined pitch is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the lower outer cylinder 33, and a screw thread 741 described later of the cap 7 (see FIG. 1) is screwed together. When the cap 7 is rotated from the predetermined position about the axis X by a predetermined rotation angle (for example, 90 degrees) by the combination of the screw groove 331 and the screw thread 741, the screw thread 741 of the cap 7 is detached from the screw groove 331. The cap 7 can be detached. Further, the rotation around the axis X is stopped between the inner peripheral surface of the lower outer cylinder 33 and the outer peripheral surface of the mouth portion 21. That is, although detailed illustration is omitted, a flange 212 protruding to the outer peripheral side is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the mouth portion 21, and a part of the circumferential direction is cut out to form a groove that opens up and down, and the lower outer cylinder 33. A vertical rib is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the inner peripheral surface so as to protrude in the vertical direction and extend in the vertical direction. By inserting the vertical rib into the groove from above, the lower outer cylinder 33 and thus the mouth member 3 are formed. Is restricted from rotating in the circumferential direction.

上内筒34は、環状板部30の内周端から上向きに突出され、その上端側の所定位置には肩段部340が形成され、上内筒34の先端部を構成する頂壁部341には軸Xが通る位置に連通孔342が貫通形成されている。加えて、頂壁部341の先端面には連通孔342を囲んで上向きに僅かに突出する凸リブ環343が形成され、後述の如く、スライダー4が下降位置(図1、図2に図示された位置)にあるときには、凸リブ環343がスライダー4の弁座部422に対し圧接して、連通孔342と透孔421,421との間の遮断状態をより強固にシールするようになっている。又、肩段部340近傍の上内筒34の外周面には外向きに突出する膨出部344が形成され、この膨出部344がスライダー4の移動筒41の内周面に対し上下方向に摺動可能に密接することにより、スライダー4と口部部材3との間のシールが行われる。この上内筒34が口部部材3の筒体部を構成し、その頂壁部341の先端面が軸X方向(近接離反方向)に直交する先端面を構成する。   The upper inner cylinder 34 protrudes upward from the inner peripheral end of the annular plate portion 30, and a shoulder step 340 is formed at a predetermined position on the upper end side of the upper inner cylinder 34, and a top wall portion 341 that constitutes the distal end portion of the upper inner cylinder 34. A communication hole 342 is formed through the position where the axis X passes. In addition, a convex rib ring 343 is formed on the tip surface of the top wall portion 341 so as to surround the communication hole 342 and slightly protrude upward. As will be described later, the slider 4 is in the lowered position (shown in FIGS. 1 and 2). The convex rib ring 343 comes into pressure contact with the valve seat 422 of the slider 4 to more securely seal the blocking state between the communication hole 342 and the through holes 421 and 421. Yes. Further, a bulging portion 344 that protrudes outward is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the upper inner cylinder 34 in the vicinity of the shoulder step portion 340, and the bulging portion 344 is vertically directed with respect to the inner peripheral surface of the moving cylinder 41 of the slider 4. The slider 4 and the mouth portion member 3 are sealed by close contact with each other. The upper inner cylinder 34 constitutes a cylindrical body portion of the mouth portion member 3, and the distal end surface of the top wall portion 341 constitutes a distal end surface orthogonal to the axis X direction (the proximity / separation direction).

さらに、上外筒35は上内筒34を囲んで両者間にスライダー4の移動筒41の収容部を形成し、上外筒35の内周面のネジ溝351に対しスライダー4の移動筒41の外周面のネジ411が螺合されている。ネジ溝351及びネジ411は所定ピッチで形成され、後述の回転力の伝達を受けて所定の回転角度(例えば90度の中心角度)の回転により後述の下降位置と上昇位置との間の上下方向範囲の所定の昇降量(進退移動量)になるように設定されている。そして、上外筒35の外周面には周方向に四等分(中心角90度間隔)の各位置に上下方向に延びる外向きの縦リブ352,352,…が形成され、このいずれかの縦リブ352に対しノズルカバー5の後述の内向きの縦リブ512が突き当たることにより、ノズルカバー5の軸X回りの回転範囲が90度になるように規制されている。縦リブ352,352,…の下端位置には下向きの係合面を備え外向きに突出する係合凸部353が周方向に延びて形成されており、後述のノズルカバー5の図外の内向き突起が上から乗り越えて係合することで、ノズルカバー5が上下方向に相対移動しないように規制されている。   Further, the upper and outer cylinders 35 surround the upper and inner cylinders 34 to form a housing portion for the moving cylinder 41 of the slider 4 therebetween, and the moving cylinder 41 of the slider 4 with respect to the screw groove 351 on the inner peripheral surface of the upper and outer cylinders 35. Screws 411 on the outer peripheral surface of the screw are screwed together. The screw grooves 351 and the screws 411 are formed at a predetermined pitch, and are transmitted in a vertical direction between a descending position and an ascending position, which will be described later, by receiving a rotational force described later and rotating at a predetermined rotational angle (for example, a central angle of 90 degrees). It is set so as to be a predetermined ascent / descent amount (advance / retreat amount) of the range. Then, on the outer peripheral surface of the upper outer cylinder 35, outward vertical ribs 352, 352,... Extending in the up-down direction are formed at respective positions equally divided in the circumferential direction (interval of 90 degrees central angle). When a later-described inward vertical rib 512 of the nozzle cover 5 abuts against the vertical rib 352, the rotation range around the axis X of the nozzle cover 5 is restricted to 90 degrees. An engaging convex portion 353 having a downward engaging surface and projecting outward is formed at the lower end position of the vertical ribs 352, 352,..., And extends outward in the circumferential direction. The nozzle cover 5 is restricted so as not to move in the vertical direction by the direction protrusions getting over and engaging from above.

スライダー4(図2及び図4参照)は、口部部材3の上外筒35の内周面と螺合する移動筒41と、移動筒41の上端を覆う頂壁部42と、頂壁部42の中央位置から軸Xに沿って上向きに突出するピン状の凸部43とを備えて構成されている。移動筒41には、その外周面下部に前記のネジ411が形成され、外周面上部に回転力伝達用の外向きの縦リブ412,412が上下方向に延びて形成されている。又、移動筒41には、その上端側位置に、スライダー4が下降位置にあるときに、口部21の肩段部340に上から被さるように、肩段部413が形成されている。頂壁部42には、少なくとも1つ、図例では2つの透孔421,421が凸部43を挟んで両側位置に貫通して形成されている。   The slider 4 (see FIGS. 2 and 4) includes a moving cylinder 41 that is screwed with the inner peripheral surface of the upper outer cylinder 35 of the mouth member 3, a top wall part 42 that covers the upper end of the moving cylinder 41, and a top wall part. The pin-shaped convex part 43 which protrudes upward along the axis | shaft X from the center position of 42 is comprised. The movable cylinder 41 is formed with the screw 411 at the lower portion of the outer peripheral surface thereof, and outwardly extending vertical ribs 412 and 412 for transmitting rotational force are formed at the upper portion of the outer peripheral surface. Further, a shoulder step portion 413 is formed at the upper end side position of the movable cylinder 41 so as to cover the shoulder step portion 340 of the mouth portion 21 from above when the slider 4 is in the lowered position. At least one, in the illustrated example, two through holes 421 and 421 are formed in the top wall portion 42 so as to penetrate the both side positions with the convex portion 43 interposed therebetween.

又、頂壁部42の底面部位であって、透孔421,421を除く中央部位には弁座部422が形成され、スライダー4が下降位置(後退位置)にあるときには、弁座部422の下面(対向面)に対し、相対向する上内筒34の頂壁部341の上面にある凸リブ環343が圧接して、連通孔342と透孔421、421との間を遮断してシールするようになっている。つまり、スライダー4が下降位置にあるとき、弁座部422の下面が連通孔342を遮蔽して閉止するようになっており、その際、透孔421,421が連通孔342と軸X方向に重ならないように位置設定されている。ここで、弁座部422は、遮断性能を高めるために、スライダー4を構成する材料とは異なる材料(スライダー4よりもさらに柔軟性又は弾力性を有する材料)で形成することが好ましい。このために、弁座部422と、他の部分のスライダー4とを互いに異なる2種類の合成樹脂を用いた2色成形により一体に形成したり、あるいは、別途形成した弁座部422をスライダー4に形成した凹部に対し嵌め込んでホットメルト等の手段により結合させるようにすることができる。   Further, a valve seat portion 422 is formed at the bottom portion of the top wall portion 42 except for the through holes 421 and 421. When the slider 4 is in the lowered position (retracted position), the valve seat portion 422 The convex rib ring 343 on the upper surface of the top wall portion 341 of the upper inner cylinder 34 facing each other is pressed against the lower surface (opposing surface), and the communication hole 342 and the through holes 421 and 421 are sealed to be sealed. It is supposed to be. That is, when the slider 4 is in the lowered position, the lower surface of the valve seat portion 422 closes the communication hole 342 so that the through holes 421 and 421 are in the direction of the axis X with the communication hole 342. The position is set so as not to overlap. Here, the valve seat portion 422 is preferably formed of a material different from the material constituting the slider 4 (a material having more flexibility or elasticity than the slider 4) in order to improve the blocking performance. For this purpose, the valve seat part 422 and the slider 4 of the other part are integrally formed by two-color molding using two kinds of different synthetic resins, or the valve seat part 422 formed separately is provided as the slider 4. It can be made to fit in the recessed part formed in this, and it can be made to couple | bond by means, such as a hot melt.

凸部43は、スライダー4が後述の如く上昇位置(前進位置)にあるときに、先端431がスプリングバルブ6の弁体63の円盤部下面に当接(好ましくは上向きに押圧気味に当接)して、ノズル孔50が閉止された状態で弁体63の軸部62が外部から押されたとしても下向き(後退側)には動かないようにして、計量室54を密封状態に維持するよう、より強固にロックし得るようになっている。なお、図1及び図2に示すように、弁体63の円盤部下面には、スライダー4が上昇位置にあるときに凸部43の先端431が嵌まる凹部を設けておくことができる。   When the slider 4 is in the raised position (advance position) as described later, the protrusion 43 contacts the lower surface of the disc portion of the valve body 63 of the spring valve 6 (preferably upwardly pressing). Then, even if the shaft portion 62 of the valve body 63 is pushed from the outside with the nozzle hole 50 closed, the metering chamber 54 is maintained in a sealed state so as not to move downward (retracted side). It can be locked more firmly. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a concave portion into which the tip 431 of the convex portion 43 fits can be provided on the lower surface of the disc portion of the valve body 63 when the slider 4 is in the raised position.

ノズルカバー5(図2及び図5参照)は、下端側の大径筒51と、大径筒51の上に段差部511を介して上方に延びる中径筒52と、中径筒52の上に段差部521を介して上向きに砲弾形に突出するノズル部53とを備えて構成されている。大径筒51(図2参照)の内周面には内向きに突出して上下方向に延びる縦リブ512,512が形成され、ノズルカバー5が軸X回りに回転すると、その縦リブ512が口部部材3の外向きの縦リブ352,352,…に突き当たることによりノズルカバー5の回転範囲を所定範囲に規制するようになっている。   The nozzle cover 5 (see FIGS. 2 and 5) includes a large-diameter cylinder 51 on the lower end side, an intermediate-diameter cylinder 52 that extends upward on the large-diameter cylinder 51 via a step 511, and an upper-diameter cylinder 52. And a nozzle portion 53 that protrudes upward in a bullet shape through a step portion 521. Longitudinal ribs 512 and 512 that protrude inward and extend in the vertical direction are formed on the inner peripheral surface of the large-diameter cylinder 51 (see FIG. 2), and when the nozzle cover 5 rotates about the axis X, the vertical ribs 512 The rotation range of the nozzle cover 5 is restricted to a predetermined range by abutting on the outward vertical ribs 352, 352,.

中径筒52(図2参照)の内周面には、スライダー4の縦リブ412の周方向幅とほぼ同等の周方向幅であって、縦リブ412が上から挿入可能な程度の周方向幅に離隔された両位置でそれぞれ上下方向に延びる一対で1セットの内向きの縦リブ522が、周方向に180度離れた各位置に形成されている。各セットの一対の縦リブ522に挟まれた位置にスライダー4の縦リブ412が下から挿入されることにより、ノズルカバー5からスライダー4に対する軸X回りの回転力の伝達が可能となる。つまり、ノズルカバー5からの回転力が一対の縦リブ522と、これに周方向に当接する縦リブ412とを介してスライダー4に伝達され、これにより、ノズルカバー5の回転によりスライダー4が同期して回転されるように両者は互いに連係されている。   The inner circumferential surface of the medium-diameter cylinder 52 (see FIG. 2) has a circumferential width substantially equal to the circumferential width of the vertical rib 412 of the slider 4, so that the vertical rib 412 can be inserted from above. A pair of inward vertical ribs 522 extending in the vertical direction at both positions separated by a width are formed at respective positions 180 degrees apart in the circumferential direction. By inserting the vertical rib 412 of the slider 4 from below into the position sandwiched between the pair of vertical ribs 522 of each set, it is possible to transmit the rotational force around the axis X from the nozzle cover 5 to the slider 4. That is, the rotational force from the nozzle cover 5 is transmitted to the slider 4 through the pair of vertical ribs 522 and the vertical ribs 412 that are in circumferential contact with the pair of vertical ribs 522, whereby the slider 4 is synchronized with the rotation of the nozzle cover 5. The two are linked to each other so as to be rotated.

一方、中径筒52(図2及び図5参照)の外周面には、周方向に所定間隔だけ離隔された両位置でそれぞれ上下方向に延びる一対で1セットの外向きの縦リブ523が、内周面の場合と同様に、周方向に180度離れた各位置に形成されている。各セットの一対の縦リブ523と、キャップ7の後述の一対の係合凸部751とが周方向に当接することにより、キャップ7に対する回転操作力がノズルカバー5に伝達され、伝達された回転力がノズルカバー5からスライダー4に伝達されるようになっている。   On the other hand, on the outer peripheral surface of the medium-diameter cylinder 52 (see FIGS. 2 and 5), a pair of outward longitudinal ribs 523 extending in the vertical direction at both positions spaced apart by a predetermined interval in the circumferential direction, As in the case of the inner circumferential surface, the inner circumferential surface is formed at each position 180 degrees apart. A pair of vertical ribs 523 of each set and a pair of engagement convex portions 751 (described later) of the cap 7 abut on each other in the circumferential direction, so that the rotational operation force with respect to the cap 7 is transmitted to the nozzle cover 5 and the transmitted rotation is transmitted. A force is transmitted from the nozzle cover 5 to the slider 4.

そして、段差部521(図2参照)の下面であって、ノズル部53の基部位置には、斜め内向きに延びるシール筒部524が形成されている。このシール筒部524は、その先端部525がスライダー4の移動筒41の上端側外周面に密接し、これにより、スライダー4の上下方向への摺動を許容しつつ、ノズル部53(ノズルカバー5)とスライダー4との間のシールを行うようになっている。このシールによって、スライダー4が下降位置にあるとき、つまり、下降位置にあって透孔421,421と連通孔342との間が遮断されて非連通状態にされているときにおけるノズル部53内の空間が、計量すべき所定容積を有する計量室54として、密閉状態で区画形成されることになる。   A seal cylinder portion 524 that extends obliquely inward is formed on the bottom surface of the nozzle portion 53 on the lower surface of the step portion 521 (see FIG. 2). The seal tube portion 524 has a tip portion 525 that is in close contact with the outer peripheral surface of the upper end side of the moving tube 41 of the slider 4, thereby allowing the slider 4 to slide in the vertical direction, while the nozzle portion 53 (nozzle cover The seal between 5) and the slider 4 is performed. With this seal, when the slider 4 is in the lowered position, that is, when the slider 4 is in the lowered position and the through holes 421 and 421 and the communication hole 342 are blocked and are not in communication with each other, The space is defined in a sealed state as a measuring chamber 54 having a predetermined volume to be measured.

ノズル部53(図2参照)は、計量室54となる内部空間を有し、頂端に計量室54と連通するノズル孔50が形成され、このノズル孔50を開閉切換するためのスプリングバルブ6が内部空間に収容されている。すなわち、スプリングバルブ6がノズルカバー5の下端開口から挿入されて計量室54の下側位置の内周面に対し下側からアンダーカット嵌合により内嵌されるようになっている。   The nozzle portion 53 (see FIG. 2) has an internal space serving as a measuring chamber 54, a nozzle hole 50 communicating with the measuring chamber 54 is formed at the top end, and a spring valve 6 for switching the nozzle hole 50 to open / close is provided. It is housed in the internal space. That is, the spring valve 6 is inserted from the lower end opening of the nozzle cover 5 and is fitted by undercut fitting from the lower side to the inner peripheral surface of the lower side of the measuring chamber 54.

ここで、スプリングバルブ6は、図6に示すように、下部に位置する環状の台座61と、上部に位置する弁体63と、弁体63と台座61との間を互いに連結するよう螺旋状に延びる複数の弾性腕部64,64,…とを備えて構成されている。そして、台座61の外周面に外向きに膨出された凸部611が、計量室54の下側位置の内周面に内向きに膨出するように形成された凸部に対し、下方から乗り越えて互いに係合することによりノズル部53内にアンダーカット嵌合されることになる。弁体63は、ノズル孔50下側の内周面により構成される座面に密接する円盤部により主構成されるとともに、該円盤部から上方に延設された軸部62を一体に備えており、図2に示すように該軸部62をノズル孔50に対し下(計量室54側)から上に挿入することによって、弁体63がノズル孔50に対して同心状に姿勢保持されるようになっている。   Here, as shown in FIG. 6, the spring valve 6 is formed in a spiral shape so as to connect the annular pedestal 61 positioned at the lower portion, the valve body 63 positioned at the upper portion, and the valve body 63 and the pedestal 61 to each other. Are provided with a plurality of elastic arm portions 64, 64,. And the convex part 611 bulged outwardly on the outer peripheral surface of the pedestal 61 from the lower side with respect to the convex part formed so as to bulge inwardly on the inner peripheral surface of the lower position of the measuring chamber 54. By getting over and engaging with each other, an undercut fit is made in the nozzle portion 53. The valve body 63 is mainly configured by a disk portion that is in close contact with the seat surface formed by the inner peripheral surface below the nozzle hole 50, and integrally includes a shaft portion 62 that extends upward from the disk portion. As shown in FIG. 2, the valve body 63 is concentrically held with respect to the nozzle hole 50 by inserting the shaft portion 62 from the lower side (measuring chamber 54 side) upward with respect to the nozzle hole 50. It is like that.

スプリングバルブ6は、弾性腕部64,64,…からの弾性付勢力を受けることにより、弁体63の軸部62の先端部がノズル孔50から上方へ突出し、弁体63をノズル孔50下側の内周面により構成される座面に押し付けて密接させた状態で、ノズル孔50を閉止状態に維持するようになっている。軸部62の外周面には上下方向に延びる1以上(図例では3本)の凹溝621,621,…(図6も併せて参照)が形成されており、後述の如く、ノズル孔50から突出した軸部62の先端が弾性腕部64の付勢力に抗して押し込まれると弁体63の円盤部が座面から離れ、凹溝621,621,…を通して計量室54と外部とが互いに連通しノズル孔50は開放状態になる。   The spring valve 6 receives an elastic biasing force from the elastic arm portions 64, 64,..., So that the tip end portion of the shaft portion 62 of the valve body 63 protrudes upward from the nozzle hole 50, and the valve body 63 moves below the nozzle hole 50. The nozzle hole 50 is maintained in a closed state in a state in which the nozzle hole 50 is pressed and brought into close contact with a seat surface constituted by the inner peripheral surface on the side. One or more (three in the illustrated example) concave grooves 621, 621,... (See also FIG. 6) extending in the vertical direction are formed on the outer peripheral surface of the shaft portion 62. When the tip of the shaft portion 62 protruding from the elastic arm portion 64 is pushed against the urging force of the elastic arm portion 64, the disc portion of the valve body 63 is separated from the seat surface, and the measuring chamber 54 and the outside are connected to each other through the concave grooves 621, 621,. The nozzle holes 50 communicate with each other and are opened.

そして、計量室54は、ノズル孔50が閉止状態であれば、スライダー4が下降位置にあるときに、口部部材3内、つまり容器本体2内の空間と遮断されて密封状態(図2の状態参照)となる一方、スライダー4が後述の如く上昇位置にあるときに、計量室54と容器本体2内の空間と互いに連通状態となる。   If the nozzle hole 50 is closed, the measuring chamber 54 is cut off from the space in the mouth member 3, that is, in the container body 2 when the slider 4 is in the lowered position (see FIG. 2). On the other hand, when the slider 4 is in the raised position as will be described later, the measuring chamber 54 and the space in the container body 2 are in communication with each other.

図1に戻り、キャップ7は、外部材71と、内部材72とを組み合わせて形成したものである。外部材71は、容器本体2の形状に併せて外観のデザイン性を発揮する形状を備え、その一方、内部材72は、定量注出容器の機能性を発揮させ、かつ、より高めるための構造を備えたものである。すなわち、内部材72は、外部材71との結合のための下端フランジ73と、内周面に形成されたネジ山741により口部部材3の下外筒33のネジ溝331に螺合可能な第1筒部74と、内周面に形成された一対で1セットの係合凸部751により各一対の縦リブ523を介してノズルカバー5に対し回転操作力を伝達可能な第2筒部75と、ノズルカバー5のノズル部53を覆って保護し得る第3筒部76とを備えて構成されている。第3筒部76は、その頂部に保護カバー部761を備え、保護カバー部761により、ノズル孔50から軸部62が突出した状態で外部から軸部62に対し不意の押圧力が作用しないように覆って保護するようにしている。つまり、ノズル孔50を閉止した状態に安全に維持し得るようにしている。キャップ7としては、以上のように外部材71と、内部材72とに分割しないで、一体物で形成することもできる。しかしながら、外観上のデザイン性と内側のノズルカバー5等に対する機能性とを満足させつつ、軽量化を図る上では、分割して外部材71と内部材72とで構成することが、特に軽量化の観点から有利となる。   Returning to FIG. 1, the cap 7 is formed by combining an outer member 71 and an inner member 72. The outer material 71 has a shape that exhibits the design of the appearance in accordance with the shape of the container body 2, while the inner member 72 has a structure for exerting and enhancing the functionality of the quantitative dispensing container. It is equipped with. That is, the inner member 72 can be screwed into the screw groove 331 of the lower outer cylinder 33 of the mouth member 3 by the lower end flange 73 for coupling with the outer member 71 and the screw thread 741 formed on the inner peripheral surface. A second cylinder part capable of transmitting a rotational operation force to the nozzle cover 5 via each pair of vertical ribs 523 by a first cylinder part 74 and a pair of engaging projections 751 formed on the inner peripheral surface. 75 and a third cylindrical portion 76 that covers and protects the nozzle portion 53 of the nozzle cover 5. The third cylinder portion 76 includes a protective cover portion 761 at the top thereof, and the protective cover portion 761 prevents an unexpected pressing force from acting on the shaft portion 62 from the outside in a state where the shaft portion 62 protrudes from the nozzle hole 50. To protect it. That is, the nozzle hole 50 can be safely maintained in a closed state. As described above, the cap 7 can be formed as a single unit without being divided into the outer member 71 and the inner member 72. However, in order to reduce the weight while satisfying the appearance design and the functionality with respect to the inner nozzle cover 5 and the like, it is particularly advantageous to divide and configure the outer member 71 and the inner member 72. From the viewpoint of

以上のキャップ7、ノズルカバー5及びスライダー4の回転力の伝達等について図7を参照しつつ説明する。閉キャップ状態(図7(a)に実線で示す状態;図1に示す状態)のキャップ7を軸X回りに開方向W(例えば反時計方向)に回転操作量90度分だけ回転操作(開キャップ操作)すると、キャップ7を構成する第2筒部75の各一対の係合凸部751の内の一方751bが、ノズルカバー5の中径筒52の各一対の縦リブ523の内の一方を開方向Wに押すことになり、これにより、ノズルカバー5が同期して回転移動する。一方、ノズルカバー5の90度の回転移動に伴い、その中径筒52の一対の縦リブ522,522に挟まれたスライダー4の移動筒41の縦リブ412も開方向Wに押される結果、キャップ7の回転操作に伴いスライダー4も同期して90度だけ回転移動する。このため、キャップ7の回転操作により、ノズルカバー5と共にスライダー4も同期して回転移動することになる。   The transmission of the rotational force of the cap 7, the nozzle cover 5 and the slider 4 will be described with reference to FIG. The cap 7 in the closed cap state (the state shown by the solid line in FIG. 7A; the state shown in FIG. 1) is rotated about the axis X in the opening direction W (for example, counterclockwise) by a rotation operation amount of 90 degrees (opened). When the cap operation is performed, one of the pair of vertical ribs 523 of the middle diameter cylinder 52 of the nozzle cover 5 is connected to one of the pair of engaging protrusions 751 of the second cylinder 75 constituting the cap 7. Is pushed in the opening direction W, whereby the nozzle cover 5 rotates in synchronization. On the other hand, as the nozzle cover 5 is rotated 90 degrees, the vertical rib 412 of the moving cylinder 41 of the slider 4 sandwiched between the pair of vertical ribs 522 and 522 of the medium diameter cylinder 52 is also pushed in the opening direction W. As the cap 7 is rotated, the slider 4 is also rotated by 90 degrees synchronously. For this reason, when the cap 7 is rotated, the slider 4 is also rotated in synchronization with the nozzle cover 5.

一方、ノズルカバー5の回転範囲が確実に所定の中心角度(本実施形態では90度)に規制されるようにストッパが設けられている。すなわち、キャップ7の回転操作に基づくノズルカバー5の同期回転に伴い、その大径筒51(図7(b)参照)の縦リブ512,512が開方向Wに対し同様に回転移動する結果、縦リブ512,512が口部部材3の縦リブ352,352,…に突き当たることになる。縦リブ352,352,…は周方向に90度間隔の所定の各位置に形成され、これにより、ノズルカバー5の回転範囲が確実に90度に規制されることになる。これは、スライダー4の昇降移動範囲が後述の如く確実に下降位置から上昇位置までの間になるように、スライダー4の回転移動量を所定の中心角度(90度)に規制するためのものである。前記の縦リブ352と縦リブ512との組み合わせがストッパを構成することになる。縦リブ352,352,…の設置位置は、下降位置と上昇位置との間の昇降作動を実現させるためのスライダー4の回転移動量に応じて設定することができ、回転移動量が後述の例の如く120度に設定される場合には、周方向に120度ずつの間隔の各位置とすることができる。なお、前記のストッパとしては、前記ノズルカバー5と口部部材3との間で互いに突き当たることになる縦リブ512,352の組み合わせに代えて、スライダー4と口部部材3との間に設けることができる。   On the other hand, a stopper is provided to ensure that the rotation range of the nozzle cover 5 is regulated to a predetermined center angle (90 degrees in this embodiment). That is, with the synchronous rotation of the nozzle cover 5 based on the rotation operation of the cap 7, the longitudinal ribs 512 and 512 of the large-diameter cylinder 51 (see FIG. 7B) rotate and move in the opening direction W as well. The vertical ribs 512, 512 abut against the vertical ribs 352, 352,. The vertical ribs 352, 352,... Are formed at predetermined positions at intervals of 90 degrees in the circumferential direction, thereby reliably restricting the rotation range of the nozzle cover 5 to 90 degrees. This is for restricting the amount of rotational movement of the slider 4 to a predetermined center angle (90 degrees) so that the up-and-down movement range of the slider 4 is surely between the lowered position and the raised position as will be described later. is there. The combination of the vertical rib 352 and the vertical rib 512 constitutes a stopper. The installation positions of the vertical ribs 352, 352,... Can be set according to the rotational movement amount of the slider 4 for realizing the raising / lowering operation between the lowered position and the raised position. When the angle is set to 120 degrees as in the above, the positions can be set at intervals of 120 degrees in the circumferential direction. The stopper is provided between the slider 4 and the mouth member 3 in place of the combination of the vertical ribs 512 and 352 that abut against each other between the nozzle cover 5 and the mouth member 3. Can do.

スライダー4の開方向Wへの90度の回転移動により、スライダー4は、図1、図2又は図8の左側部分に示す下降位置から、図8の右側に示す上昇位置まで軸Xに沿って上昇する。このスライダー4の上昇作動により、スライダー4の弁座部422は口部部材3の凸リブ環343から上方に離れ、その隙間空間を介して連通孔342と透孔421,421とが互いに連通する結果、計量室54と容器本体2内とが互いに連通した状態(連通状態)に変換されることになる。なお、本実施形態では、開方向Wへ中心角度で90度の回転移動量で、スライダー4が下降位置と上昇位置との間を昇降移動するように設定しているが、スライダー4の下降位置と上昇位置との間の昇降移動を、如何なる回転移動量で実現させるかは、ユーザーの操作感等とを考慮して適宜決定することができる。例えば、中心角度で120度だけ回転移動させることで、下降位置と上昇位置との間の昇降移動が実現するように設定することができる。このような変更設定はスライダー4と口部部材3との間のネジ嵌合のネジピッチ等を調整することで可能となる。   As the slider 4 rotates 90 degrees in the opening direction W, the slider 4 moves along the axis X from the lowered position shown in the left part of FIG. 1, FIG. 2 or FIG. 8 to the raised position shown on the right side of FIG. To rise. By the raising operation of the slider 4, the valve seat 422 of the slider 4 is separated upward from the convex rib ring 343 of the mouth member 3, and the communication hole 342 and the through holes 421 and 421 communicate with each other through the gap space. As a result, the measuring chamber 54 and the inside of the container main body 2 are converted into a state where they are in communication with each other (communication state). In the present embodiment, the slider 4 is set to move up and down between the lowered position and the raised position with a rotation amount of 90 degrees in the opening direction W at the center angle. The amount of rotational movement that realizes the up-and-down movement between the position and the ascending position can be appropriately determined in consideration of the user's operational feeling and the like. For example, it can be set so that the vertical movement between the lowered position and the raised position is realized by rotating the central angle by 120 degrees. Such a change setting can be made by adjusting the screw pitch of the screw fitting between the slider 4 and the mouth member 3.

そして、図8の左側部分に示すように、容器本体2内に液体Qを充填させた状態で、キャップ7が閉キャップ状態にされていれば、スライダー4は下降位置に設定されて、スライダー4の弁座部422が口部部材3の頂壁部341(凸リブ環343:図2参照)に圧接し、連通孔342と透孔421,421との間が非連通状態に遮断されている(図2も併せて参照)。このため、液体Qは容器本体2内に確実に密封状態のまま収容・保管されることになり、全体をたとえ転倒させたとしても、容器本体2側から計量室54内に液体Qが流れ込むことはない。   Then, as shown in the left part of FIG. 8, if the cap 7 is in the closed cap state in the state where the container body 2 is filled with the liquid Q, the slider 4 is set to the lowered position, and the slider 4 The valve seat portion 422 is in pressure contact with the top wall portion 341 (convex rib ring 343: see FIG. 2) of the mouth member 3, and the communication hole 342 and the through holes 421 and 421 are blocked from each other. (See also FIG. 2). For this reason, the liquid Q is reliably stored and stored in the container body 2 in a sealed state, and the liquid Q flows into the measuring chamber 54 from the container body 2 side even if the whole is overturned. There is no.

そして、キャップ7を開キャップ操作(開方向Wに回転操作)すると、その回転操作力がキャップ7からノズルカバー5に伝達され、同時に、その回転操作力がノズルカバー5からスライダー4に伝達され、スライダー4は90度だけ回転移動される。この結果、スライダー4は下降位置から上昇位置まで上昇することになる。これにより、図8の右側部分に示すように、弁座部422と頂壁部341(凸リブ環343:図2参照)との間が離れ、連通孔342と透孔421,421とが連通し、計量室54を非連通状態から容器本体2内と連通した連通状態に変換させることができる。又、この上昇位置への上昇により、連通状態への変換と同時に、スライダー4の凸部43がスプリングバルブ6の弁体63に当接してノズル孔50を閉状態にロックさせることができる。このため、外部に露出した状態になった弁体63の軸部62が他の物と触れたり、その軸部62を間違って押したりしたとしても、弁体63は動くことはなく、計量室54を確実に閉状態に維持させることができる。なお、キャップ7は開方向Wに90度分回転操作すれば、螺合が外れて、口部部材3(容器本体2)から分離させることができる。   Then, when the cap 7 is opened (rotated in the opening direction W), the rotational operation force is transmitted from the cap 7 to the nozzle cover 5, and at the same time, the rotational operation force is transmitted from the nozzle cover 5 to the slider 4. The slider 4 is rotated by 90 degrees. As a result, the slider 4 rises from the lowered position to the raised position. As a result, as shown in the right part of FIG. 8, the valve seat portion 422 and the top wall portion 341 (convex rib ring 343: see FIG. 2) are separated, and the communication hole 342 and the through holes 421 and 421 communicate with each other. Thus, the measuring chamber 54 can be converted from a non-communication state to a communication state communicating with the inside of the container body 2. Further, by the rise to the raised position, simultaneously with the conversion to the communication state, the convex portion 43 of the slider 4 can come into contact with the valve body 63 of the spring valve 6 to lock the nozzle hole 50 in the closed state. For this reason, even if the shaft portion 62 of the valve body 63 exposed to the outside touches another object or the shaft portion 62 is pushed by mistake, the valve body 63 does not move, and the measuring chamber 54 can be reliably maintained in the closed state. If the cap 7 is rotated 90 degrees in the opening direction W, the cap 7 can be unscrewed and separated from the mouth member 3 (container body 2).

この後に、図9に示すように、全体を正立状態から倒立状態に変えると、連通状態の連通孔342及び透孔421,421を通して容器本体2内の液体Qが計量室54内に流入し、計量室54は液体Qで充満される(図9の左側部分参照)。次に、ノズルカバー5をキャップ7(図8参照)の開方向Wとは逆の閉方向に回転させると、その回転操作力がノズルカバー5からスライダー4に伝達され、スライダー4は上昇位置から下降位置に戻り(図9の中央部分参照)、連通孔342と透孔421,421との間が遮断された非連通状態に復帰する。この結果、計量室54は内部に液体Qが充満した状態に密閉されることになる。つまり、計量室54内の空間容積に対応する量の液体Qを確実に分離して正確に所定量の液体Qを計量することができる。ここで、計量室54内においては、計量される液体が充満状態で収容されるため、液体が孔揮発性のものでも揮発による内圧変動を招くこともない。加えて、連通状態から非連通状態に至る過程において、計量室54内の容積の減少を伴うこともないため、計量された後の計量室54の液体に内圧変動を生じさせることもない。   Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 9, when the whole is changed from the upright state to the inverted state, the liquid Q in the container body 2 flows into the measuring chamber 54 through the communication hole 342 and the through holes 421 and 421 in the communication state. The measuring chamber 54 is filled with the liquid Q (see the left part of FIG. 9). Next, when the nozzle cover 5 is rotated in the closing direction opposite to the opening direction W of the cap 7 (see FIG. 8), the rotational operation force is transmitted from the nozzle cover 5 to the slider 4, and the slider 4 is moved from the raised position. Returning to the lowered position (refer to the center portion of FIG. 9), the communication hole 342 and the through holes 421 and 421 return to a non-communication state where the space is blocked. As a result, the measuring chamber 54 is sealed in a state where the liquid Q is filled therein. That is, a predetermined amount of liquid Q can be accurately measured by reliably separating the amount of liquid Q corresponding to the space volume in the measuring chamber 54. Here, since the liquid to be weighed is stored in the measuring chamber 54 in a full state, even if the liquid is volatile, the internal pressure does not fluctuate due to volatilization. In addition, in the process from the communication state to the non-communication state, the volume in the measurement chamber 54 is not reduced, so that the internal pressure fluctuation is not generated in the liquid in the measurement chamber 54 after the measurement.

そして、スライダー4が下降位置に戻る結果、弁体63のロック状態が外れるため、このまま弁体63の軸部62(図9の右側部分参照)を患部(例えば頭皮)Hに押し付けることで、スプリングバルブ6の弾性腕部64,64,…が撓んで弁体63が後退し、これにより、ノズル孔50は凹溝621,621,…を通して開状態になる。このため、計量室54内の液体Qが凹溝621,621,…を通して頭皮Hに注出され、液体Qを頭皮に塗布することができるようになり、計量室54内は外部の空気と置換されて空になる。つまり、頭皮H等に軸部62を押し付けることにより、非連通状態における計量室54内の容積(例えば5ml)に相当する定量の液体Qだけを注出させることができるようになる。この際、前記の如く計量室54内の内圧変動はないため、注出に際し内圧変動に起因する液漏れや液体が勢いよく飛び出してしまう等の不都合を引き起こすおそれはない。   As a result of the slider 4 returning to the lowered position, the locked state of the valve body 63 is released. Therefore, the shaft portion 62 (see the right side portion of FIG. 9) of the valve body 63 is pressed against the affected area (for example, the scalp) H as it is. The elastic arm portions 64, 64,... Of the valve 6 are bent and the valve body 63 is retracted, whereby the nozzle hole 50 is opened through the concave grooves 621, 621,. Therefore, the liquid Q in the measuring chamber 54 is poured into the scalp H through the concave grooves 621, 621,... And can be applied to the scalp, and the inside of the measuring chamber 54 is replaced with external air. To be empty. That is, by pressing the shaft portion 62 against the scalp H or the like, only a fixed amount of liquid Q corresponding to the volume (for example, 5 ml) in the measuring chamber 54 in a non-communication state can be dispensed. At this time, since there is no fluctuation in the internal pressure in the measuring chamber 54 as described above, there is no possibility of causing inconveniences such as liquid leakage due to fluctuations in the internal pressure or liquid jumping out at the time of pouring.

使用後は、定量注出容器を正立状態に戻してキャップ7を被せ、そのキャップ7を閉方向(開方向Wと逆方向)に回転操作(以下、「閉キャップ操作」ともいう)することにより、元の閉キャップ状態(図7(a)に実線で示す状態)に戻される。その際、キャップ7を上から被せる位置(周方向の回転位置)の如何に拘わらず、あるいは、ノズルカバー5の回転位置の如何(スライダー4が下降位置又は上昇位置のいずれの回転位置にあるかの如何)に係わらず、キャップ7を被せた後に閉方向への回転操作によって、元の閉キャップ状態に復帰可能となっている。   After use, return the quantitative dispensing container to the upright state, put the cap 7 on, and rotate the cap 7 in the closing direction (in the opposite direction to the opening direction W) (hereinafter also referred to as “closing cap operation”). Thus, the original closed cap state (the state indicated by the solid line in FIG. 7A) is restored. At that time, regardless of the position where the cap 7 is placed from above (the rotational position in the circumferential direction) or the rotational position of the nozzle cover 5 (whether the slider 4 is in the lowered position or the raised position). Regardless of the above, the original closed cap state can be restored by the rotation operation in the closing direction after the cap 7 is put on.

すなわち、キャップ7の内部材72の第3筒部75に形成された各一対の係合凸部751は、一方の係合凸部751bが接線に対し斜めに交差する方向に延びて開方向Wに対してのみ回転力を縦リブ523に対し伝達可能で、かつ、逆向きの閉方向には素材の有する弾性又は柔軟性に基づき縦リブ523を乗り越えて回転移動可能となっている。これに対し、他方の係合凸部751aは、第3筒部75の内周面から径方向内側に向けて突出する突起により構成され、キャップ7が前記閉方向へ回転移動されて前記縦リブ523に突き当たると、閉方向への回転力をノズルカバー5に伝達可能となっている。このため、キャップ7が任意の周方向位置から被せられたとしても、そのキャップ7を前記閉方向に回転操作することで、他方の係合凸部751aが縦リブ523に突き当たって閉方向の回転力が伝達可能となるまで、一方の係合凸部751bは縦リブ523を乗り越えて閉方向に回転移動することになる。そして、キャップ7の閉方向の回転操作により、前記他方の係合凸部751aが縦リブ523に突き当たるまで回転し、突き当たってから閉方向の回転力をノズルカバー5に伝達することで、スライダー4が下降位置(非連通状態)となる元の閉キャップ状態への復帰が可能となる。閉キャップ状態に戻れば、キャップ7に対する開キャップ7操作により、計量及び注出が再度可能となる。   That is, each of the pair of engaging convex portions 751 formed on the third cylindrical portion 75 of the inner member 72 of the cap 7 extends in a direction in which one engaging convex portion 751b obliquely intersects the tangent line and opens in the opening direction W. Rotational force can be transmitted only to the vertical rib 523, and in the opposite closing direction, it can move over the vertical rib 523 based on the elasticity or flexibility of the material. On the other hand, the other engaging convex portion 751a is constituted by a protrusion protruding radially inward from the inner peripheral surface of the third cylindrical portion 75, and the cap 7 is rotationally moved in the closing direction so that the vertical rib is formed. When it hits 523, the rotational force in the closing direction can be transmitted to the nozzle cover 5. For this reason, even if the cap 7 is covered from any position in the circumferential direction, when the cap 7 is rotated in the closing direction, the other engaging convex portion 751a hits the vertical rib 523 and rotates in the closing direction. Until the force can be transmitted, one of the engaging convex portions 751b moves over the vertical rib 523 and rotates in the closing direction. Then, by rotating the cap 7 in the closing direction, the other engaging projection 751a rotates until it abuts against the vertical rib 523, and after the abutment, the rotational force in the closing direction is transmitted to the nozzle cover 5 so that the slider 4 It is possible to return to the original closed cap state in which is in the lowered position (non-communication state). If it returns to a closed cap state, measurement and pouring will become possible again by the opening cap 7 operation with respect to the cap 7. FIG.

ところで、計量〜定量の液体の注出を繰り返していると、最終的に使用を終了して閉キャップ操作を行う際に、スライダー4が連通状態にあるか非連通状態にあるかがユーザーにおいて定かでは無くなるおそれが考えられる。しかしながら、スライダー4がいずれの回転位置にあったとしても、つまり、ノズルカバー5がいずれの回転位置にあったとしても、キャップ7を被せ閉キャップ操作を行いさえすれば、前述の如く、スライダー4を下降位置に位置付けて確実に非連通状態に復帰させることができるようになる。これにより、容器本体2内の液体Qを確実に密封状態に保管することができる。   By the way, if the dispensing of the metered to fixed amount liquid is repeated, the user can determine whether the slider 4 is in a communication state or a non-communication state when the cap is finally used and the closing cap operation is performed. Then there is a possibility of disappearing. However, even if the slider 4 is in any rotational position, that is, whatever the nozzle cover 5 is in the rotational position, as long as the cap 7 is put on and the closing cap operation is performed, the slider 4 as described above. Can be reliably returned to the non-communication state. Thereby, the liquid Q in the container main body 2 can be reliably stored in a sealed state.

なお、前記の一対の縦リブ523,523を周方向に180度の間隔で2セット(2対)配設しているが、1セットにすることができる。さらに、一対の縦リブ523,523を、周方向の両側から一対の係合凸部751a,751bで挟み付けるようにした1つの縦リブで代用することができる。1つの縦リブにする場合には、周方向に幅をもたせることができる。   Note that two sets (two pairs) of the pair of vertical ribs 523 and 523 are arranged at intervals of 180 degrees in the circumferential direction. Furthermore, the pair of vertical ribs 523 and 523 can be replaced by one vertical rib that is sandwiched between the pair of engaging convex portions 751a and 751b from both sides in the circumferential direction. When one vertical rib is used, a width can be given in the circumferential direction.

以上の定量注出容器は、図10に示すように、液体Qを充填させた容器本体2に対し口部部材3を装着し、この口部部材3の上外筒35内のネジ溝351に対しスライダー4の移動筒41のネジ411をねじ込んで螺合させ、先にスプリングバルブ6の弁体63の軸部62をノズル孔50に挿入した状態のノズルカバー5を口部部材3の上外筒35の外周面に対し所定の周方向位置の上から装着させる。最後に、キャップ7を、ノズルカバー5の中径筒52の各セットの縦リブ523に対し所定の周方向位置になるように上から被せ、口部部材3の下外筒33のネジ溝331にねじ込んで螺合させて閉キャップ状態にすることで完成する。   As shown in FIG. 10, the above-described quantitative dispensing container has the mouth member 3 attached to the container body 2 filled with the liquid Q, and the screw groove 351 in the upper outer cylinder 35 of the mouth member 3 is provided. In contrast, the screw cover 411 of the moving cylinder 41 of the slider 4 is screwed in and screwed together, and the nozzle cover 5 in a state where the shaft portion 62 of the valve body 63 of the spring valve 6 is inserted into the nozzle hole 50 is placed on the upper and outer sides of the mouth member 3. The cylinder 35 is attached to the outer circumferential surface from above a predetermined circumferential position. Finally, the cap 7 is placed on the vertical rib 523 of each set of the medium diameter cylinder 52 of the nozzle cover 5 from above so as to be in a predetermined circumferential direction, and the screw groove 331 of the lower outer cylinder 33 of the mouth member 3 is placed. It is completed by screwing in and screwing it into a closed cap state.

あるいは、容器本体2とは別に、定量注出装置を予め組み付けておくようにすることができる。すなわち、口部部材3の上外筒35内のネジ溝351に対しスライダー4の移動筒41のネジ411をねじ込んで螺合させ、先にスプリングバルブ6を組み込んだ状態のノズルカバー5を口部部材3の上外筒35の外周面に対し所定の周方向位置の上から装着させる。最後に、キャップ7を、ノズルカバー5の中径筒52の各セットの縦リブ523に対し所定の周方向位置になるように上から被せ、口部部材3の下外筒33のネジ溝331にねじ込んで螺合させて閉キャップ状態にし、定量注出装置として完成させる。そして、容器本体2に対し液体Qを充填し、充填後の容器本体2の口部21(図1参照)に対し、予め組み付けた状態の定量注出装置1を装着させることで、定量注出装置1と容器本体2とからなる製品としての定量注出容器とすることができる。   Alternatively, the quantitative dispensing device can be assembled in advance separately from the container body 2. That is, the screw cover 411 of the moving cylinder 41 of the slider 4 is screwed into the thread groove 351 in the upper and outer cylinders 35 of the mouth member 3 and screwed together, and the nozzle cover 5 in a state where the spring valve 6 is first assembled is fitted to the mouth part. The member 3 is attached to the outer peripheral surface of the upper outer cylinder 35 from above a predetermined circumferential position. Finally, the cap 7 is placed on the vertical rib 523 of each set of the medium diameter cylinder 52 of the nozzle cover 5 from above so as to be in a predetermined circumferential direction, and the screw groove 331 of the lower outer cylinder 33 of the mouth member 3 is placed. And is screwed into a closed cap to complete a quantitative dispensing device. Then, the liquid Q is filled into the container main body 2, and the fixed amount dispensing device 1 in a pre-assembled state is attached to the mouth portion 21 (see FIG. 1) of the container main body 2 after the filling, thereby quantitative dispensing. A quantitative dispensing container as a product comprising the device 1 and the container body 2 can be obtained.

以上の定量注出装置を組み付けた定量注出容器の場合、正立状態においてキャップ7を外すだけで計量室54を非連通状態から連通状態に変換させることができ、キャップ7を外した状態で倒立状態にし、次いでノズルカバー5を逆回転操作するだけで、そのまま頭皮への定量注出・塗布操作を行うことができるようになる。つまり、従来の定量注出容器の如く正立状態から倒立状態にし、倒立状態から正立状態に戻し、再度、倒立状態にしなければ頭皮への注出・塗布操作を行い得なかったものと比べ、倒立状態から正立状態に一旦戻す必要がなく、大幅に操作性を改善することができる。しかも、計量室54内の液体は内部に充満された状態で計量されており自由液面を有さないため、従来のすり切り状態で自由液面を有して計量される場合と比べ、揺れ等を受けても計量室54内の液体量が変化するおそれはなく、所定量の計量を正確に行うことができ、かつ、その正確な計量状態を確実に維持することができる。特に、計量室54を連通状態から非連通状態に戻す操作を行う際に、液体の流出等を考慮する必要がなくなり、取り扱いの容易化を図ることができる。   In the case of a quantitative dispensing container assembled with the above-described quantitative dispensing device, the measuring chamber 54 can be converted from a non-communication state to a communication state by simply removing the cap 7 in the upright state, and with the cap 7 removed. By simply turning the nozzle cover 5 in the inverted state and then rotating the nozzle cover 5 in a reverse direction, it is possible to perform a quantitative dispensing / application operation on the scalp as it is. In other words, compared to the conventional quantitative dispensing container, it was changed from the upright state to the inverted state, returned from the inverted state to the upright state, and once again, it was not possible to perform the dispensing and application operation to the scalp. Therefore, it is not necessary to temporarily return from the inverted state to the upright state, and the operability can be greatly improved. Moreover, since the liquid in the measuring chamber 54 is measured in a state where the liquid is filled inside and does not have a free liquid level, the liquid is swayed compared to the case where the liquid is measured in the state of being worn out and having a free liquid level. Even if it is received, there is no possibility that the amount of liquid in the measuring chamber 54 will change, a predetermined amount can be accurately measured, and the accurate measuring state can be reliably maintained. In particular, when the operation of returning the measuring chamber 54 from the communication state to the non-communication state is performed, it is not necessary to consider the outflow of the liquid, and the handling can be facilitated.

さらに、非使用時、つまりキャップ7が容器本体2に被せられた状態では、計量室54側の透孔421,421は容器本体2側の連通孔342と遮断された非連通状態にされているため、正立状態ではなくて横倒し等の状態に置かれたとしても、容器本体2内に収容された液体Qは密封状態に維持され、液漏れ等の発生を回避することができる。しかも、キャップ7により閉キャップ状態にされていれば、密封状態に維持されていることが分かる一方、キャップ7が外された開キャップ状態であれば、開キャップ操作により既に計量可能状態に変換されており、一定量の液体Qを注出・塗布し得る状態になっていることが外見を見るだけでユーザーは把握することができる。   Further, when not in use, that is, in a state where the cap 7 is put on the container body 2, the through holes 421 and 421 on the weighing chamber 54 side are in a non-communication state blocked from the communication hole 342 on the container body 2 side. Therefore, even if the container is placed in a state such as lying down instead of being in an upright state, the liquid Q accommodated in the container body 2 is maintained in a sealed state, and the occurrence of liquid leakage or the like can be avoided. Moreover, if the cap 7 is in the closed cap state, it can be seen that the sealed state is maintained. On the other hand, if the cap 7 is in the open cap state, the cap 7 is already converted into a meterable state by the open cap operation. Therefore, the user can grasp that a certain amount of the liquid Q is ready to be dispensed / applied simply by looking at the appearance.

<他の実施形態>
本発明は前記実施形態に限らず、種々の形態を含むものである。すなわち、前記実施形態において、キャップ7の一部を構成する外部材71は、容器本体2の形状に併せて外観のデザイン性を発揮する形状を備えるように形成されるものであるため、これを省略し、例えば図11(a)に示すように、内部材72のみによって構成されたキャップ7′を備えた定量注出装置1aとすることができる。あるいは、内部材72自体の外周面をデザイン性を考慮した所定形状を有するものに変更し、このように内部材のみによってキャップを構成することもできる。さらに、キャップ7自体を省略して定量注出装置を構成することができる。例えば図11(b)に示すように、キャップ7無しで定量注出装置1bを構成することができる。この場合は、スライダー4の下降位置から上昇位置への変換を、キャップ7の開キャップ操作に代えて、ノズルカバー5自体を掴んで開方向Wへ回転操作することになる。この場合も、キャップ7の開キャップ操作によるスライダー4の自動上昇の代わりに、ノズルカバー5の回転操作によるスライダー4の自動上昇を得ることができる他、それ以外の作用効果として前記実施形態と同様のものを得ることができる。なお、キャップ7無しで構成する場合、ノズル孔50及びノズル孔50から突出する軸部62をカバーするための保護カバー8をノズルカバー5に着脱可能に外嵌させるようにすることができる。また、キャップ7を外部材71のみにより構成し、この外部材71を口部部材3或いは容器本体2に対して着脱可能に外嵌させるようにすることができる。
<Other embodiments>
The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, but includes various forms. That is, in the said embodiment, since the outer member 71 which comprises a part of cap 7 is formed so that it may be equipped with the shape which exhibits the external appearance design property with the shape of the container main body 2, this Omitted, for example, as shown in FIG. 11 (a), a quantitative dispensing device 1a having a cap 7 'constituted only by the inner member 72 can be obtained. Alternatively, the outer peripheral surface of the inner member 72 itself can be changed to one having a predetermined shape in consideration of design, and thus the cap can be configured only by the inner member. Further, the quantitative dispensing device can be configured by omitting the cap 7 itself. For example, as shown in FIG. 11B, the quantitative dispensing device 1b can be configured without the cap 7. In this case, the conversion of the slider 4 from the lowered position to the raised position is replaced with the cap opening operation of the cap 7 and the nozzle cover 5 itself is gripped and rotated in the opening direction W. Also in this case, instead of automatically raising the slider 4 by opening the cap 7, the slider 4 can be automatically raised by rotating the nozzle cover 5, and the other effects are the same as in the above embodiment. You can get things. When configured without the cap 7, the protective cover 8 for covering the nozzle hole 50 and the shaft portion 62 protruding from the nozzle hole 50 can be detachably fitted to the nozzle cover 5. Moreover, the cap 7 can be comprised only by the outer member 71, and this outer member 71 can be externally fitted to the opening | mouth part member 3 or the container main body 2 so that attachment or detachment is possible.

前記実施形態では、口部部材3を含んで定量注出装置を構成した例を示したが、これに限らず、口部部材3を省略して定量注出装置を構成することができる。例えば、口部部材3に相当する部分、特に上内筒34及び上外筒35に相当する部分を容器本体2の口部21に一体に形成した専用の容器本体を用いることで、口部部材3を省略して定量注出装置を構成することができる。従って、この場合には、そのような専用の容器本体と、口部部材3を省略した定量注出装置とを備えた定量注出容器とすることができる。   In the said embodiment, although the example which comprised the mouth part member 3 and comprised the fixed quantity extraction apparatus was shown, it is not restricted to this, The mouth part member 3 can be abbreviate | omitted and a fixed quantity extraction apparatus can be comprised. For example, by using a dedicated container body in which a portion corresponding to the mouth member 3, in particular, a portion corresponding to the upper inner cylinder 34 and the upper outer cylinder 35 is formed integrally with the mouth portion 21 of the container body 2, the mouth member 3 can be omitted to constitute a quantitative dispensing device. Therefore, in this case, a quantitative dispensing container including such a dedicated container main body and a quantitative dispensing device in which the mouth member 3 is omitted can be obtained.

又、前記の実施形態では、スライダー4として凸部43を備えたものを示したが、これに限らず、凸部43に代えて、凸部43と同様の役割を果たす凸部を弁体63の円盤部から下向きに突出するよう弁体63に一体に形成することができる。あるいは、スライダー4及び弁体63の双方から相対向方向に突出する凸部をそれぞれ形成することで、凸部43に代えることができる。なお、かかる凸部43又は凸部を省略することもできる。凸部43を省略すると、スライダーの上昇位置において、スプリングバルブ6の弁体63をロックする機能は具備し得ないことになるものの、その他の定量注出装置としての基本的な作用効果は全て得ることができる。   In the above-described embodiment, the slider 4 having the convex portion 43 is shown. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a convex portion that plays the same role as the convex portion 43 is used instead of the convex portion 43. It can be formed integrally with the valve body 63 so as to protrude downward from the disk portion. Or it can replace with the convex part 43 by forming the convex part which protrudes in the opposing direction from both the slider 4 and the valve body 63, respectively. Note that the convex portion 43 or the convex portion can be omitted. If the convex portion 43 is omitted, the function of locking the valve body 63 of the spring valve 6 cannot be provided at the slider ascending position, but all the basic functions and effects as other quantitative dispensing devices are obtained. be able to.

さらに、前記実施形態では、スライダー4の内周側が口部部材3の膨出部344と摺動可能に密接することによりシールされる一方、スライダー4の外周側がノズルカバー5のシール筒部524の先端部525が摺動可能に密接することによりシールされた状態で、スライダー4自体が軸心Xに沿って昇降変位可能に構成されているが、シール部(膨出部344又は先端部525)の形成位置や、その形成対象の部材(口部部材3又はノズルカバー5)については特に限定されず、前記実施形態とは異なる形成位置や形成部材を選択することができる。例えば、スライダー4の側にシール部を形成することができる。   Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, the inner peripheral side of the slider 4 is sealed by being in close contact with the bulging portion 344 of the mouth member 3, while the outer peripheral side of the slider 4 is sealed by the seal cylinder portion 524 of the nozzle cover 5. The slider 4 itself is configured to be movable up and down along the axis X in a state where the tip 525 is slidably brought into close contact with the seal slidable portion (the bulging portion 344 or the tip 525). The forming position and the member to be formed (the mouth member 3 or the nozzle cover 5) are not particularly limited, and a forming position and a forming member different from those in the above embodiment can be selected. For example, a seal portion can be formed on the slider 4 side.

前記実施形態では、軸Xが上下方向に延びてスライダー4が昇降作動する構成例を示したが、これに限らず、軸Xが横に延びてスライダーが横向きに進退作動するように構成することができる。例えば、口部部材3の上内筒34や上外筒35の両部分が横向きに突出し、中足筒31、下内筒32及び下外筒33が下向きに延びるように形成し、横向きの上内筒や上外筒に対しスライダー4やノズルカバー5等を横向きに結合させることができる。これにより、容器本体2の上向きに開口する口部21に装着する定量注出装置としてL字を上下逆転させた如く横に折れ曲がった状態のものを構成することができる。この場合、軸Xは横向きに延びることになるため、スライダー4は横向きに進退移動することにより、後退位置(前記実施形態の下降位置に対応)と、前進位置(前記実施形態の上昇位置に対応)との間を位置変換することになる。   In the above-described embodiment, the configuration example in which the axis X extends in the vertical direction and the slider 4 moves up and down is shown. However, the configuration is not limited thereto, and the configuration is such that the axis X extends in the horizontal direction and the slider moves in the horizontal direction. Can do. For example, both the upper inner cylinder 34 and the upper outer cylinder 35 of the mouth member 3 protrude laterally, and the middle leg cylinder 31, the lower inner cylinder 32, and the lower outer cylinder 33 are formed so as to extend downward. The slider 4, the nozzle cover 5, and the like can be coupled laterally with respect to the inner cylinder and the upper and outer cylinders. Thereby, the thing of the state bent to the side so that L character may be turned upside down can be comprised as a fixed_quantity | quantitative_assay dispensing apparatus with which the opening part 21 opened upwards of the container main body 2 can be comprised. In this case, since the axis X extends in the horizontal direction, the slider 4 moves back and forth in the horizontal direction, so that the retracted position (corresponding to the lowered position in the embodiment) and the advanced position (corresponding to the raised position in the embodiment). ).

また、口部部材3の連通孔342には、例えば実用新案登録第2583154号公報に開示された定量注出容器の通気筒(16)と同様の通気筒を設けることもでき、該通気筒は、通気筒の外周面と連通孔342の内周面とを接続する周方向に複数のリブによって垂設保持できる。この場合、上記リブは、通気筒の軸方向全長にわたって延設させることができ、これによれば、上記リブによって液体Qの流れを案内して、より円滑に液体Qを計量室54に流出させることができるとともに、計量室54内の空気は通気筒を通って容器本体2の内部に流通することとなるため、計量室54内の空気と容器本体2内の液体Qとの置換がより円滑に行われる。   In addition, the communication hole 342 of the mouth member 3 can be provided with a communication cylinder similar to the communication cylinder (16) of the quantitative dispensing container disclosed in, for example, Utility Model Registration No. 2583154. The plurality of ribs can be suspended and held in the circumferential direction connecting the outer peripheral surface of the through cylinder and the inner peripheral surface of the communication hole 342. In this case, the rib can be extended over the entire length in the axial direction of the cylinder, and according to this, the flow of the liquid Q is guided by the rib, and the liquid Q flows out more smoothly into the measuring chamber 54. In addition, since the air in the measuring chamber 54 flows through the through-cylinder into the container body 2, the replacement of the air in the measuring chamber 54 with the liquid Q in the container body 2 is smoother. To be done.

また、前記スプリングバルブ6に代えて、弁体63と台座61とを別部材により構成するとともに、台座61と弁体63との間にコイルスプリング等の付勢手段を設けることによって、弁体63を閉止位置に付勢することもできる。   Further, instead of the spring valve 6, the valve body 63 and the pedestal 61 are constituted by separate members, and an urging means such as a coil spring is provided between the pedestal 61 and the valve body 63, thereby providing the valve body 63. Can be biased to the closed position.
