The screw ridge 44 of the rising bottom 4 is engaged with the spiral groove 21 of the inner cylinder 2. The rising bottom 4 can be raised by rotating with respect to the inner cylinder 2.

The rotation restricting member 5 has a shaft cylinder 51 extending in the vertical direction at the center, and two blade members 52, 53 extending outward from the outer peripheral surface of the shaft cylinder 51. An engaging plate 54 extending in the horizontal direction, which is fixed so as to partition the axial direction (vertical direction) of the shaft cylinder 51, is provided on the inner circumference of the shaft cylinder 51.

The blade members 52 and 53 of the rotation restricting member 5 are fitted in the slits 42 and 43 of the rising bottom 4. As a result, when the outer case 8 and the accommodating portion 1 rotate relative to each other, the rotation regulating member 5 fixes the rising bottom 4 to the outer case 8 side so as not to rotate.

The lower case 6 and the tubular cover 7 form a bottomed outer case 8. The outer case 8 rotatably stores the accommodating portion 1.

The lower case 6 has a bottom surface 61 and a peripheral wall 65 connected to the bottom surface 61. A columnar protrusion 62 is provided in the center of the bottom surface 61 of the lower case 6, and an engaging convex portion 63 is provided on the top surface 62U of the columnar protrusion 62. The bottom surface 61 and the columnar protrusions 62 may be collectively referred to as a bottom surface portion 601.

In this way, the rotary lid 3 is attached to the accommodating portion 1 with its rotation restricted in the horizontal direction, and the rising bottom 4 is attached to the lower case 6 with its rotation restricted via the rotation restricting member 5. There is. Therefore, the accommodating portion 1, the inner cylinder 2, and the rotating lid 3 shown in FIG. 2 move integrally as the rotating body A, and the rising bottom 4, the rotation restricting member 5, the lower case 6, and the tubular cover 7 are It moves integrally as a rotating body B.

Therefore, by rotating the rotary lid 3 and the tubular cover 7 in a relatively predetermined direction, the rising bottom 4 can be raised and the upper end of the solid substance can be cut.

The details of each member shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 4 to 12 below.

<Separation of refills>
FIG. 4 is a diagram in which the feeding container with a cutting function is disassembled into a solid substance storage container α and a housing unit β. FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view of the feeding container with a cutting function disassembled into a solid substance storage container α and a housing unit β.

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the solid substance storage container α is a refill (container) that can be exchanged (removed and replaced) with the solid substance for the outer case 8 and the rotary lid 3.

The solid substance storage container α, which is a refill, includes a storage unit 1, an inner cylinder 2, a rising bottom 4, and a rotation restricting member 5.

On the other hand, the housing unit β has a rotating lid 3, a lower case 6 constituting the outer case 8, and a tubular cover 7. The housing unit β is reused after the refill is replaced.

With respect to the housing unit β, the accommodating portion 1 on the main body bottle side, the inner cylinder 2, the rising bottom 4, and the rotation restricting member 5 can be refilled so as to be exchangeable together with the solid substance. That is, the empty solid substance container α can be replaced with a new refill having the same shape, and the housing unit β can be used repeatedly.

In the solid substance storage container α that can be replaced as a refill for replacement, the film F (FIG. 5) covers the upper surface of the refill, that is, the upper end of the storage portion 1, the upper end of the inner cylinder 2, and the upper end of the rotation restricting member 5. See) can be covered. As a result, the solid substance storage container α, which is a refill, can be distributed as a single unit.

In the present invention, as shown in FIG. 4, the upper end of the rotation restricting member 5 is the upper end of the barrel 51 and the blade members 52, 53, which is lower than the upper end of the side wall 16 of the accommodating portion 1. It is arranged like this. Further, the upper end of the inner cylinder 2 is attached at a position lower than the upper end of the side wall 16 of the accommodating portion 1. Therefore, when the upper surface of the solid substance storage container α is covered with the film F, the upper end of the side wall 16 comes into contact with the film F most strongly, and even when it comes into contact with the upper end of the rotation restricting member 5 due to slack or the like. Since the slack center is in surface contact in a tubular shape, the load applied to the film F is small.

Here, with reference to FIGS. 4 to 10, the behavior of the solid substance storage container α after being attached to and engaged with the housing unit β will be described.

<Installation (1)>
First, the rotary lid 3 is attached to the upper end of the solid substance storage container α. The attachment of the rotary lid 3 to the solid substance storage container α will be described with reference to FIGS. 4, 5, 6 and 7.

In FIG. 6, (a) is a view of the rotary lid 3 viewed from diagonally below, (b) is a view of the rotary lid 3 viewed from an angle different from that of (a), and (c) is a lower portion of the solid substance storage container α. It is the figure which attached the case 6 and looked at from above.

7A and 7B are views of the rotary lid 3 viewed from diagonally above, and FIG. 7B is a view of the rotary lid 3 viewed from an angle different from that of FIG. 7A. Further, in FIGS. 7 and 8, the arrow R indicates the rotation direction of the rotary lid 3 with respect to the rising bottom 4 and the rotation restricting member 5.

As shown in FIGS. 6 (a) and 6 (b), in the rotary lid 3, a raised portion is a plate-shaped protrusion having an inclined surface at least one surface having a length longer than the radius of the top surface on the upper surface of the top surface 31. 33 is formed.

Specifically, on the upper surface of the top surface 31 of the rotary lid 3, a raised portion 33 which is curved and extends between the center and the outer peripheral edge of the rotary lid 3 when viewed from above is provided. The raised portion 33 has a mountain-shaped shape (distorted triangular shape) that tapers upward when viewed from the side.

In this configuration, the curved surface of the raised portion 33 is a slit curved in a crescent shape along the raised portion 33 on the inclined surface 33S on the upstream side of the rotation direction R when the rotary lid 3 is used. A discharge port 34, which is a hole, is formed. Further, the discharge port 34 is an elongated hole opened substantially parallel to the upper surface of the top surface 31 on the inclined surface 33S of the raised portion 33 in the side view shown in FIG. Further, as shown in FIG. 6A, it is preferable that the other slopes forming the raised portion 33 together with the inclined surface 33S are set to be inclined so as to have an angle closer to vertical than the inclined surface 33S. ..

As shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B, the cutter 32, which is a cutting means, extends diagonally downward from the lower edge of the discharge port 34, which is a long hole when viewed from above. Further, when viewed from the lower surfaces shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B, the lower surface 31L and the discharge port are formed from the starting point 32E which is the boundary between the cutter on the lower surface 31L side of the top surface 31 of the rotary lid 3 and the lower surface 31L. The cutter 32 extends in an obtuse angle direction with respect to the lower surface 31L so as to cover the lower edge 34E of the slit which is the boundary with the 34.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B, an annular rib 35 hangs downward near the outer periphery of the lower surface of the top surface 31 of the rotary lid 3.

Here, as shown in FIG. 6C, inside the solid substance storage container α, the solid substance as the content is on the outer peripheral side of the shaft cylinder 51 of the rotation restricting member 5, and the blade members 53 and 53 are used. Filled to avoid.

The outer peripheral edge of the cutter 32 is in contact with the inner peripheral edge of the annular rib 35, and the inner peripheral edge is a position outside the barrel 51 of the rotation restricting member 5. That is, it is preferable that the length of the cutter 32 in the radial direction of the top surface 31 covers from the outer peripheral surface of the barrel 51 to the inside of the annular rib 35.

With this configuration, in the radial direction of the top surface 31, the portion excluding the barrel 51 at a radius that is approximately half of the upper surface of the filled solid substance can be evenly cut by the cutter 32. Further, even if the rotary lid 3 is attached to the solid substance storage container α, contact between the cutter 32 and the upper end of the rotation restricting member 5 can be avoided.

Further, in the curved slit-shaped discharge port 34, a cutter 32 is provided so as to follow the arc on the outside of the curve. The cutter 32 provided on the rotary lid 3 is provided at substantially the same length as the outer arc on the downstream side in the rotation direction of the discharge port 34.

The solid substance fed out around the upper end of the accommodating portion 1 by the rising bottom 4 is cut into a thin plate by the cutter 32 of the rotary lid 3 and cut out from the discharge port above the top surface.

Further, as shown in FIG. 6C, the upper end of the side wall 16 of the accommodating portion 1 is a thin-walled upper end portion 16T whose inside is recessed as compared with the other inner peripheral surfaces.

The position of the rotary lid 3 is fixed by sandwiching the thin upper end portion 16T of the accommodating portion 1 between the outer circumference of the annular rib 35 and the inner circumference of the side surface 36.

The cutter 32 of the rotary lid 3 has the inner peripheral surface of the annular rib 35 connected to the end portion, and is located above the upper end portion of the inner cylinder 2 at the thin-walled upper end portion 16T of the side wall 16 of the accommodating portion 1. doing. Further, referring to FIG. 6B, the downward height of the cutter 32 is shorter than that of the annular rib 35. Therefore, even if the rising bottom 4 reaches the upper end along the spiral groove 21 of the inner cylinder 2, the rising bottom 4 does not reach the position of the cutter 32. Therefore, even if the rising bottom 4 is used to the end, the cutter 32 is hard at the time of rotation. The cutter 32 is not easily damaged without coming into contact with the rising bottom 4.

Further, an engaging ridge 37 is formed on the inner circumference of the side surface 36 of the rotary lid 3. The engaging ridge 37 on the inner circumference of the rotating lid 3 and the engaging projection 18 on the side wall 16 of the accommodating portion 1 engage in a screw shape, so that the rotating lid 3 is vertically oriented with respect to the accommodating portion 1. The position of the rotary lid 3 is restricted, and the rotation of the rotary lid 3 with respect to the accommodating portion 1 is restricted.

When attaching the rotary lid 3, the film F attached to the upper end of the solid substance container α to be refilled is removed.

<Installation (2)>
Next, the solid substance storage container α to which the rotary lid 3 is attached is attached to the lower case 6. The engagement between the solid substance storage container α and the lower case 6 will be described with reference to FIGS. 2, 4 to 5, 8 and 9. In FIG. 8, (a) is a perspective view of the bottom of the solid substance storage container α, and (b) is a perspective view of the lower case 6. In FIG. 9, (a) is a partially enlarged view when the solid substance storage container α is in a refilled state, and (b) is a partially enlarged view showing a state after assembling the solid substance storage container α into the lower case 6. is there.

As shown in FIGS. 5, 8 (a) and 9 (a), a through hole 12 is formed in the bottom surface 11 of the accommodating portion 1, and a central cylinder 13 is provided so as to surround the through hole 12. ..

Further, with reference to FIG. 5, the lower side of the engaging plate 54 of the rotation restricting member 5 surrounds the outer circumference of the central cylinder 13 of the accommodating portion 1. The lower surface of the engaging plate 54 contacts the upper end 13U of the central cylinder 13 and engages with the columnar protrusion 62 of the lower case 6.

Specifically, the thickest central thick portion 55 is provided at the center of the lower surface of the engaging plate 54, and the engaging recess 56 is formed on the lower surface of the central thick portion 55. An inner peripheral groove 57 is formed on the lower surface of the engaging plate 54 and on the outer side of the central thick portion 55.

As shown in FIG. 8A, in the state of the solid substance storage container α, the inner peripheral groove 57 on the lower surface of the engaging plate 54 is in contact with the upper end 13U of the central cylinder 13, so that it is viewed from below. From the through hole 12 of the accommodating portion 1, the central thick portion 55 and the engaging recess 56 can be visually recognized.

Further, as shown in FIG. 9A, in the refill state, the accommodating portion 1 and the rotation restricting member 5 are engaged with each other in the solid substance accommodating container α at the portion surrounded by the circle C1, and at C2 and C3. By restricting the movement in the enclosed part, the airtight state of the contents inside the accommodating part 1 is maintained.

In the refill state, the thin portion 13T at the upper end of the central cylinder 13 of the accommodating portion 1 is fitted into the inner peripheral groove 57 formed on the lower surface of the engaging plate 54 of the rotation restricting member 5. Specifically, when the center cylinder 13 is pushed into the inside of the shaft cylinder 51 of the rotation restricting member 5 at the time of refill assembly described later, the upper end ridge 13P provided at the upper end of the outer circumference of the thin wall portion 13T is the shaft cylinder 51. It has passed over the inner peripheral protrusion 51P and reached the vicinity of the upper end of the inner peripheral groove 57. By overcoming this, at the position shown in C1, the bottom surface 11 of the accommodating portion 1 is regulated so as not to come out downward with respect to the rotation restricting member 5.

Further, in a state where the thin portion 13T at the upper end of the central cylinder 13 is fitted in the inner peripheral groove 57, as shown in C2, the step IS of the thin portion 13T is provided around the peripheral edge of the lower surface of the central thick portion 55. Are in contact with each other.

Further, as shown in C3, the lower end thin portion 51I of the lower end of the shaft cylinder 51 of the rotation restricting member 5 is sandwiched between the outer circumference of the central cylinder 13 of the accommodating portion 1 and the groove 14G between the annular rib 14R. By the contact of C2 and C3, the lateral movement of the rotation restricting member 5 with respect to the accommodating portion 1 is restricted.

By such engagement, the airtight state of the contents inside the accommodating portion 1 is maintained in the refill state. The details of each member in the solid substance container α will be described in detail together with FIGS. 11 to 13.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 8B, a columnar protrusion 62 projecting upward is provided in the center of the bottom surface 61 of the lower case 6, and an engaging convex portion 63 is provided on the top surface 62U of the columnar protrusion 62. Has been done.

When the solid substance storage container α, which is a refill, is attached to the lower case 6, the columnar protrusion 62 of the lower case 6 is fitted into the through hole 12 inside the central cylinder 13 of the storage portion 1. By this fitting, the lower case 6 and the accommodating portion 1 are rotatably connected to the accommodating portion 1 and the inner cylinder 2 with the columnar protrusion 62 as an axis.

Further, by engaging the engaging convex portion 63 of the top surface 62U of the columnar protrusion 62 of the lower case 6 with the engaging concave portion 56 on the lower surface of the engaging plate 54 of the rotation restricting member 5, the rotation restricting member 5 and the lower portion are engaged with each other. It is non-rotatably connected to the case 6.

Further, as shown in FIG. 3 described above, the ascending bottom 4 is formed with slits 42 and 43 extending in the radial direction from the central hole 41, and the blade members 52 and 53 of the rotation restricting member 5 are slits of the ascending bottom 4. By fitting into the insides of 42 and 43, the rotation regulating member 5 does not rotate with respect to the rising bottom 4, but rotates together with the rotating body A as a rotating body B.

In this way, a part of the rotation restricting member 5 and a part of the bottom surface portion 601 of the lower case 6 (outer case 8) are engaged with each other in the through hole 12 of the central cylinder 13 of the accommodating portion 1. The rising bottom 4 and the outer case 8 are non-rotatably connected.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 9 (a) ⇒ FIG. 9 (b), when the lower case 6 is fitted into the solid substance storage container α, the columnar protrusion 62 pushes up the engaging plate 54 so that the lower case 6 is pushed up. The engaging convex portion 63 of the columnar protrusion 62 and the engaging concave portion 56 on the lower surface of the engaging plate 54 of the rotation restricting member 5 are engaged with each other.

At this time, the rotation restricting member 5 is lifted with respect to the accommodating portion 1, so that the inner peripheral ridge 51P of the barrel 51 gets over the upper end ridge 13P at the upper end of the outer circumference of the thin portion 13T and is disengaged. As a result, the airtight state between the accommodating portion 1 and the rotation restricting member 5 is released.

Then, after the lower case 6 and the rotation restricting member 5 are connected, the rotation regulating member 5 is floated with respect to the bottom surface 11 of the accommodating portion 1 by the engaging convex portion 63 of the columnar protrusion 62 of the lower case 6. Be supported. As a result, in the state where the lower case 6 and the solid substance storage container α are engaged, the rotation restricting member 5 is not fitted with the housing portion 1, so that the rotation regulating member 5 and the housing portion 1 are relative to each other. It becomes rotatable.

In this example, the engaging concave portion 56 and the engaging convex portion 63 have a negative shape, but the shape of the engaging portion may be + or polygonal as long as rotation can be regulated. Good.

Further, in this example, an example is shown in which the lower surface of the engaging plate 54 of the rotation restricting member 5 has an engaging concave portion and the top surface 62U of the columnar protrusion 62 has an engaging convex portion, but inside the through hole. If it can be engaged, an engaging convex portion may be provided on the lower surface of the engaging plate 54 of the rotation restricting member 5, and an engaging concave portion may be provided on the top surface 62U of the columnar protrusion 62.

Further, as shown in FIG. 8A, the outer edge of the lower surface of the bottom surface 11 of the solid substance storage container α is a lip portion 15 projecting outward from other portions. As shown in FIG. 8B, an annular rib 64 is provided on the upper surface of the bottom surface 61 of the lower case 6.

When the accommodating portion 1 rotates with respect to the lower case 6, the accommodating portion 1 is laterally rotated by guiding the inner circumference of the lip portion 15 to the outer circumference of the annular rib 64 with the columnar protrusion 62 as the rotation axis. The position is specified and stable rotation operation can be executed.

Further, the lower case 6 has a peripheral wall 65. The side wall 16 of the accommodating portion 1 is fitted inside the peripheral wall 65 of the lower case 6 so as to be rotatable in the horizontal direction.

The order of attachment (1) and attachment (2) may be reversed.

<Installation (3)>
After that, the outer case 8 is assembled by attaching the tubular cover 7 to the lower case 6. The attachment of the tubular cover 7 to the lower case 6 to which the solid substance storage container α is attached will be described with reference to FIGS. 4, 8 (b), and 10.

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 10, an inclined inner linear protrusion 71 is provided near the lower end of the inner circumference of the tubular cover 7. Further, a locking groove 72 that is partially recessed is formed in a part of the protrusion of the inner linear protrusion 71 that is the inner engaging portion.

Further, as shown in FIG. 8B, the peripheral wall 65 of the lower case 6 is composed of a lower thick wall 66 and an upper thin wall 67. An inclined outer linear protrusion 68 is provided on the outer periphery of the upper thin wall 67, and the riding protrusion 69 extends in the vertical direction in connection with the lower edge around the lower end of the outer linear protrusion 68, and the riding protrusion 69 The lower end of the wall reaches the step portion S which is the upper surface of the lower thick wall 66.

The tubular cover 7 is fitted outside the upper thin wall 67 on the upper side of the peripheral wall 65 of the lower case 6, and is guided by the outer linear protrusion 68 of the lower case 6 and the inner linear protrusion 71 of the tubular cover 7. However, when the riding protrusion 69 is fitted into the locking groove 72, the tubular cover 7 and the lower case 6 are non-rotatably engaged with each other.

In the feeding container 100 with a cutting function after assembly, due to this engagement and gravity, the lower end of the tubular cover 7 is on the upper edge of the step portion S between the lower thick wall 66 and the upper thin wall 67 of the lower case 6. It is fixed while riding on (see Fig. 2).

Further, around the upper end of the accommodating portion 1, a flange portion 17 which is an annular ridge projecting outward is provided.

On the other hand, the tubular cover 7 is provided with an upper end ring 73 which is a retaining ring-shaped protrusion projecting from the upper end to the center side, that is, having a thick inside, and the upper end ring 73 is a housing portion 1. The lower surface of the flange portion 17 of the side wall 16 is pressed.

After setting the lower case 6 and the rotary lid 3 with respect to the solid substance storage container α, when the riding protrusion 69 is fitted into the locking groove 72 while being rotated by covering the tubular cover 7 from above. When the upper surface of the flange portion 17 of the accommodating portion 1 and the lower surface of the upper end ring 73 of the tubular cover 7 come into contact with each other, the solid substance accommodating container α is brought into contact with the tubular cover 7 and the bottom surface 61 of the lower case 6 in the vertical direction. It is sandwiched between and fixed. That is, when mounting the refill, the upper end ring 73 of the tubular cover 7 presses the flange portion 17 of the accommodating portion 1 from above to regulate the vertical position of the accommodating portion 1 with respect to the outer case 8.
By this engagement, the tubular cover 7 rotatably accommodates the accommodating portion 1, and the tubular cover 7 is rotatably fixed and connected to the peripheral wall 65 of the lower case 6.

In the above example, an example in which the outer case 8 is formed by separately forming the tubular cover 7 which is an outer cylinder and the lower case 6 including the bottom surface has been described, but the tubular cover which is an outer cylinder and the outer bottom surface have been described. The lower case, which is a member, may be integrally formed. In this case, when setting the refill, it is preferable to reduce the step of the upper end ring 73 of the outer case 8 to prevent it from coming off.

As in the above mountings (1) to (3), the replaced solid substance storage container α can be easily attached to the housing unit β, so that the feeding container 100 with a cutting function can be easily assembled. Can be done.

Alternatively, the solid substance contained in the accommodating portion 1 is formed into a perforated notched cylindrical shape in which the shape of the rising bottom 4 of the solid substance accommodating container is extended in the vertical direction to form a content refill, for example, a film. It may be distributed in a state of being covered with F or the like, and the user may set the refill of the contents in the decomposed solid substance storage container as shown in FIG. When the contents themselves are refilled, all the feeding containers with a cutting function can be reused, so that the more parts that can be reused, the less resin loss can be achieved.

Further, the housing unit β composed of the rotary lid 3, the lower case 6, and the tubular cover 7 excluding the portion of the solid substance storage container α to be refilled in the feeding container 100 with a cutting function is also independently used as a replacement housing. It may be possible to distribute at. The housing unit β can be attached to the solid substance storage container α which is a refill.

For example, if the rotating lid 3, the lower case 6, and the tubular cover 7 are damaged during use, and the solid substance content remains in the refill, the entire housing unit β, Alternatively, the contents can be reused by replacing only one or a plurality of parts of the rotary lid 3, the lower case 6, and the tubular cover 7.

<Structure in refill>
Next, the internal configuration of the solid substance storage container α, which is a refill, will be described with reference to FIGS. 11 to 13.

Just screw it in and set it. After that, from the state shown in FIG. 13, the rotation restricting member 5 is fitted to complete the assembly of the member in the refill.

Then, the contents of the fluid are filled from above the solid substance container and cooled to solidify. Alternatively, a solid content refill having a perforated notch columnar shape, which is a shape of the rising bottom 4 extended in the vertical direction, may be fitted into an empty solid substance storage container α and set.

In this configuration, since the accommodating portion 1 and the inner cylinder 2 are separate bodies, it is only necessary to screw them slightly in the engagement between the rising bottom 4 and the inner cylinder 2, so that the labor of assembly can be simplified. it can. The accommodating portion 1 and the inner cylinder 2 may be integrally formed. In that case, the spiral groove of the integrated cylinder is vertically fitted so that the rising bottom 4 is fitted from the top of the integrated cylinder when assembling. The ascending bottom 4 is rotated and engaged by the amount corresponding to the height.

In this example, the rotation restricting member 5 shows an example in which the upper part of the engaging plate 54 is also tubular in the shaft cylinder, but the upper part of the engaging plate 54 may have a solid columnar shape. .. Further, in this example, the number of blade members 52 and 53 in the rotation restricting member 5 is two, but the number of blade members may be one or more, such as one, three, or four. It may be a number.
