Further, when the upper main body part 3 and the lower main body part 4 are assembled, one end side of the first connector outer peripheral surface part 17 and the second connector inner peripheral surface part 19 facing each other is connected to the outside of the assembly type container 1, and the other end is connected to the outside of the assembly type container 1. The side is connected to the opposed portions of the first connector bottom portion 15 and the second connector bottom portion 18 . Furthermore, the other end side of the facing portion of the first connector bottom surface portion 15 and the second connector bottom surface portion 18 is connected to the liquid storage portion 13 .

Therefore, when the upper body portion 3 and the lower body portion 4 are assembled, there is a gap from the liquid storage portion 13 to the outside of the collapsible container 1 between the opposed portions of the first connector portion 5 and the second connector portion 6. It is formed.

The collapsible container 1 is provided with several structures utilizing the gaps so that the liquid 14 does not leak out from the gaps.

First, referring to FIG. 3, a gap 25 that can be formed between the first coupling protrusion 11 provided on the first connector outer peripheral surface 17 and the coupling recess 12 provided on the second connector inner peripheral surface 19. will be explained.

As shown in FIG. 3 , the first coupling protrusion 11 is provided as a protrusion that can be fitted into the coupling recess 12 . In the present embodiment, the shape of the protrusion of the first coupling protrusion 11 can be provided in substantially the same shape from the upper end to the lower end of the first coupling protrusion 11 .

The second connector portion 6 of the lower body portion 4 is provided with a second connector inner peripheral surface portion 19 on its inner peripheral surface. Coupling recesses 12 are provided which correspond to the coupling protrusions 11 so that they can be fitted.

When the upper body portion 3 and the lower body portion 4 are assembled and the first coupling projection 11 of the first connector portion 4 is coupled to the coupling recess 12 of the second connector portion 6, the first coupling projection 11 and the coupling recess 12 are connected. A gap 25 is formed between them.

When the first connector portion 5 and the second connector portion 6 are coupled, the first connector bottom portion 15 of the first connector portion 5 and the second connector bottom portion 18 of the second connector portion 6 are arranged to face each other. Also, it is difficult to form the first connector outer peripheral surface portion 17 and the second connector inner peripheral surface portion 19 so as to be in contact with each other over the entire surface, and a slight gap is formed.

When drinking the liquid 14 from the collapsible container 1, the collapsible container 1 is tilted, and the liquid 14 flows through the gap between the first connector bottom surface portion 15 and the second connector bottom surface portion 18 and the first connector outer peripheral surface portion 17. It may reach the second connector inner peripheral surface portion 19 and leak to the outside.

However, by screwing the first coupling protrusion 11 and the coupling recess 12 together, a gap 25 is formed, and the liquid 14 passes through a slight gap between the first connector bottom surface 15 and the second connector bottom surface 18 . Even if the facing portion of the first connector outer peripheral surface portion 17 and the second connector inner peripheral surface portion 19 is reached through the interface, the gap portion 25 that is the fitting portion between the first connecting convex portion 11 and the connecting concave portion 12 facing each other is not , the flow of the advancing liquid 14 can be interrupted and held, thereby preventing the liquid 14 from leaking out of the collapsible container 1 from between the first connector outer peripheral surface portion 17 and the second connector inner peripheral surface portion 19. can do.

In addition, by standing the collapsible container 1 upright, the liquid 14 remaining in the space 25 descends along the spirally provided space 25 and can be accumulated at the bottom of the space 25.例文帳に追加

The liquid 14 accumulated at the bottom of the space 25 can be returned to the liquid storage section 13 by slightly loosening the connection between the container main body 2 and the upper main body 3 of the collapsible container 1 and tilting them.

Next, the shape of the coupling recess 12 that forms the shape of the gap 25 will be described in detail. The coupling concave portion 12 has a depth in the radial direction that increases from the upper end of the second connector inner peripheral surface portion 19 near the third opening 9 toward the lower end of the second connector inner peripheral surface portion 19 near the liquid storage portion 13. And it can have the shape of the concave portion such that the vertical width gradually increases.

The vertical width w of the coupling recess 12 changes from w1 to w2 having a larger value than w1 as the coupling recess 12 moves downward from the upper side.

On the other hand, the radial depth d of the joint recess 12 changes from d1 to d2, which has a value larger than d1, from the upper side to the lower side of the joint recess 12 .

The values of the width w and the depth d of the coupling recess 12 are configured to gradually change from the upper side of the coupling recess 12 toward the lower side. However, it is not necessary to gradually change the values of w and d of the coupling recess 12, and they may be provided so as to be changed stepwise.
