BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a synthetic resin tube container capable of hermetically storing sample contents such as cosmetics and distributing it by mail using a standard envelope.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when distributing a sample of sample contents such as cosmetics, one or two usages of the sample contents are stored in a small container, and the small container is visited at a store or directly at a customer. Was distributed.

[0003]

[Problem to be Solved by the Invention] In the above-mentioned conventional distribution of sample contents, in the case of over-the-counter distribution, the distribution is passive and it is not possible to specify a customer line. There is a complaint that it is not always possible to obtain a sufficient effect, and in the case of distribution by visiting a customer, there is a complaint that it requires enormous cost and time.

[0004] As a means of distributing the sample contents,
Distribution by direct mail such as direct mail is conceivable.However, due to the restrictions of mail regulations, the size of the container for storing sample contents, and the risk of breakage, mail distribution using standard envelopes At present, small sample products are mailed as parcels as needed.

The present invention has been devised in order to solve the above-mentioned problems in the prior art, and it is sufficient that the sample content can be used once or twice. The container to be housed is not required to have a large hermetic holding force after opening and any container that can easily take out the sample contents can be used. The technical task is to make it possible to apply a tube container that exhibits durability and can be manufactured at low cost to mail distribution using a standard envelope, thereby enabling the distribution of sample contents using a standard envelope. The purpose is to:

[0006]

Means for solving the above technical problem is to provide a tube container having a tightly closed opening.
It has a body of vessel structure, insert housing this entire body
To prevent the external pressing force from acting on this body.
Sufficient rigidity and thickness outside diameter is 10mm or less
It has a cylindrical protection tube .

[0007] The body, planar shape to form an opening in the upper end of the sealed body portion in flat sealed portion lower end is integrally connected to the mouth tube portion of the elliptical shape, the upper end of the mouth tube portion, an opening A lid is integrally provided via a thin portion so as to hermetically close the portion, and the lid is a plug piece in which an upper half standing up in a round bar shape is closely fitted into an opening, and a knob extending left and right in a lower half. And configure and maintain
The protection tube is a straight elliptical tube whose outer diameter along the short axis is 10 mm or less.
It is good to build.

[0008]

[0009]

The main body whose opening is tightly sealed has a total thickness of 1 including the holding cylinder in a state of being housed in the holding cylinder.
The dimensions are regulated to be 0 mm or less, so even if enclosed in a standard envelope while stored in a protective cylinder, the contents of the sample can be mailed and distributed without violating the Postal Code regulations. is there.

[0010] Since the tube container is an integrally molded product made of synthetic resin, it is permissible to suppress the self-shape holding ability to a low level, and the rupture strength against the pressing force acting as an external force can be increased by that amount. A solid and secure storage of the contents of the sample is achieved.

Since it is a tube container, it can be stored as a sample content regardless of whether it is in a liquid or gel state. The stored sample content can be reliably discharged by a simple operation of pressing the body. Is done.

When the lid is integrally provided on the main body of the tube container via a thin portion, the opening formed in the main body is tightly and securely sealed, and the lid is formed separately from the main body. Since there is no need to perform an operation of forming the main body or assembling the main body and the lid, the manufacturing cost can be significantly reduced.

When the main body whose opening is tightly sealed is housed in the protective cylinder, the high rigidity of the protective cylinder protects the main body from the externally applied pressing force, so that the main body during mailing can be more easily destroyed. It will surely prevent it.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIGS. 1 to 3 show a structure of an embodiment of the present invention in which a lid 6 is integrally provided on a main body 1 of a tube container. A body 2 having a lower end sealed with a seal portion 3 has an elliptic cylindrical shape. In addition, a lid 6 is erected on the upper end of the mouthpiece 4 which is integrally erected on the upper end of the body 2 via a thin portion 5.

The lid 6 connected to the opening edge of the upper end of the barrel 4 via the thin portion 5 is a round bar-shaped plug piece 7 whose upper half can be closely fitted into the opening of the barrel 4. , The lower half is provided with a knob 9 extending left and right, and at the tip of the plug 7, an inner surface of the opening is provided in order to prevent the plug 7 tightly fitted into the opening from coming loose. A locking ridge 8 is provided around the locking member.

In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, when opening the main body 1, the lid 6 is gripped with a fingertip and twisted as it is to break the thin portion 5 to separate the lid 6 from the main body 1. In this case, the thin portion 5 can be easily broken by the fingertip because the knob 9 extends right and left.

If the sample content remains in the main body 1 after the trial use of the sample content, the plug 7 of the lid 6 is fitted tightly into the opening of the main body 1 so that the main body 1 is closed. Achieve and maintain the seal.

FIGS. 4 and 5 show the structure of the embodiment in which the lid 6 is formed as a separate body from the main body 1. The main body 1 is formed in the same manner as a normal tube container main body. A thread is engraved on the outer peripheral surface of the cylinder 4, and the mouthpiece 4 is sealed with a screw cap as a lid 6.

In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the sealing of the opening of the main body 1 is achieved and maintained by the lid 6 which is a usual screw cap. It is necessary to take measures to prevent the natural loosening of the screwing of the lid 6 to the main body 1, and to secure the sealing of the main body 1 tightly in the opening of the main body 1. It is necessary to take measures such as providing a plug to be fitted.

FIG. 6 shows an embodiment in which the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 is combined with a protective cylinder 10. The protective cylinder 10 has a straight elliptical cylindrical shape with an outer minor axis of 10 mm or less. The combination of the main body 1 and the lid 6 has an equal or slightly larger height and is made of compacted paper or hard synthetic resin.

In order to stabilize the insertion and storage of the main body 1 in the protective cylinder 10, after the main body 1 is stored, the open end faces of the protective cylinder 10 are easily broken or peeled off such as paper or synthetic resin film. It is better to close with your body. Also, this protection tube 10
By making the minor axis equal to the major axis and making it cylindrical, the endurance against the pressing force as an external force, that is, the holding force on the main body 1 can be increased.

[0022]

[Effects of the Invention] Since the present invention has the above-described configuration, the following effects can be obtained. Since the overall thickness of the tube container body is set to 10 mm or less with the tube container body inserted and assembled in the protective cylinder, it does not violate the Postal Code regulations even if it is enclosed in a standard envelope. Can be distributed by mail, thereby effectively distributing the sample contents by specifying the customer's source, and can achieve the distribution of a large amount of sample contents at low cost within a certain period of time.

Since the tube container is made of a synthetic resin, it does not require a mechanical structure for maintaining the self-shape constant as in the case of a normal bottle-shaped container, and accordingly, is resistant to the pressing force acting as an external force. A configuration that enhances destructibility can be achieved, so that mechanical safety during mailing can be increased.

[0024] Since the tube container is a tube container, it can be stored regardless of whether the sample content is liquid or gel, and the sample content can be stored by a single common operation regardless of the form of the sample content. Dispensing of material can be achieved, thereby obtaining a wide range of application and without giving the customer any inconvenience in trial use.

When the lid is provided integrally with the main body, the hermetically sealed holding of the main body is reliable and strong, and since the main body has a tube container structure, integral molding of the lid with the main body can be easily achieved. In addition, since there is no need to attach the lid to the main body, the number of assembling steps can be eliminated, and this type of container can be provided at a lower cost.

When the main body whose opening is sealed is stored in the protective cylinder, the external resistance of the main body can be further improved, and the safety during mailing can be further improved.
