[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

The present invention relates to a dispensing container, and in particular,
The present invention relates to a container for containing contents in which fine spheres that can be broken and contain a solvent are dispersed in a solution.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when a substance in the form of a solution is stored in a container irrespective of whether it is a natural substance or a chemical substance, a temporal change may occur due to a chemical change such as polymerization.

[0003] In addition to changes in materials, deterioration or discoloration may occur due to ultraviolet rays from the outside, or the contents may be oxidized by oxygen in the air.

[0004] Further, in the case of natural fragrances and compounded fragrances which are mixtures of substances having different volatility, the contents may be partially changed due to volatilization of the volatile substances. In particular, a fragrance is usually added to a lotion or an emulsion, but in such a mixture, various changes described above tend to occur, so that various measures need to be taken.

In many cases, it is possible to suppress the chemical change of the contents by a chemical treatment, but in the course of developing a more effective product, the formulation must be liable to undergo chemical aging over time. May not be.

In order to put such a product into practical use, for example, when there are a first solution and a second solution which should be used at the same time but are inappropriate to be mixed, the first solution is used.
It is conceivable to disperse fine spheres (microcapsules) that can be broken and contain the second solution inside the solution.

According to such a method, the reaction is avoided because the two do not come into direct contact with each other during storage, and the desired effect is obtained by destroying the microspheres and mixing the first and second solutions during use. You will be able to demonstrate.

[0008]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, when such a method is employed, it is necessary to break down the fine spheres by taking the solution in which the fine sphere solution is dispersed in the palm of the hand and crushing the solution at the time of use. There is an inadequate aspect in terms of feeling.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and contains contents in which a sphere which can be broken and contains a solvent is dispersed in a solution, and the sphere is broken in a container. It is a technical object of the present invention to provide a dispensing container capable of dispensing after mixing a solvent and a solution.

[0010]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides a method for accommodating, in a solution, a content obtained by dispersing a microsphere 1 capable of being broken and containing a solvent therein. A container having the following configuration.

That is, the mouthpiece 3 is provided in the squeeze container main body 2, and the inner plug 5 having the flow hole 4 is provided in the mouthpiece 3,
The flow hole 4 is formed so that its cross section becomes irregular from a circular shape toward the outlet 6 side, and its maximum diameter is smaller than the outer diameter of the fine sphere 1.

The shape of the outlet 6 is preferably a shape having large irregularities such as a cross or a star.

[0013]

When the internal pressure is increased by strongly pressing the squeeze container body 2, the microspheres 1 tend to flow out through the flow holes 4. At this time, the fine sphere 1 is first transferred to the outlet 6 side through the flow hole 4 of the inner plug 5.

The flow hole 4 has a cross section that is irregular from a circular shape toward the outlet 6 and is formed such that the maximum diameter is smaller than the outer diameter of the fine sphere 1. Is crushed by the side wall of the flow hole 4 and the solvent inside flows out. Then, the solution and the solvent are mixed.

As described above, since the fine spheres 1 are reliably pulverized, the solvent and the solution can be reliably mixed and poured out at the time of use.

[0016]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. The squeeze container main body 2 is made of a flexible synthetic resin, and accommodates therein a content in which microspheres 1 that can be broken and contain a solvent are dispersed in a solution.

A barrel portion 3 is provided at one end of the squeeze container body 2, and a thread 3a is formed on the outer periphery of the barrel portion 3. A cylindrical inner plug 5 is fitted inside the mouthpiece portion 3. The inner plug 5 has a flow hole 4 formed at the center thereof. As shown in FIG. 2, the flow hole 4 has an inlet 16 formed in a circular shape having a larger diameter than the outer diameter of the fine sphere 1, and a cross section from a circular shape to a cross shape toward the outlet 6 side. The whole is formed in a tapered shape so as to change. The cross-shaped crossing, that is, the maximum diameter is formed smaller than the outer diameter of the fine sphere 1.

The inner wall of the flow hole 4 may have any shape as long as it has an irregular shape, but is preferably a shape such as a star having a sharp projection inside. Further, a tapered projection 5a is provided around the inner plug 5 so as to fit into the inside of the mouthpiece portion 3 to prevent it from coming off. Also,
A flange 5b is provided around the outer plug 5 so as to be in contact with an edge portion of the barrel portion 3 so as to be positioned.

A cap 20 is provided on the thread 3a of the barrel section 3.
Are screwed together. An auxiliary member 21 is fitted inside the cap 20, and the inside of the auxiliary member 21 is formed so as to match the shape of the mouthpiece 3.
The periphery of the outlet of the passage hole 8 is pressed by an annular projection 22 provided at the center of the auxiliary member 21.

The operation of the above configuration will be described. 4 is a plan view of the inlet 16 and FIG. 5 is a bottom view of the outlet 6. First, when the squeeze container body 2 is strongly pushed to increase the internal pressure, the fine sphere 1 moves in the direction of arrow F and tries to pass through the flow hole 4. However, since the maximum diameter here is formed smaller than the outer diameter of the fine sphere 1 and is formed in an irregular shape, the fine sphere 1 is crushed and broken. At this time, the internal solvent is dispersed in the solution. Then, the mixed contents are discharged from the outlet 6 to the outside. Therefore, trouble such as crushing the fine sphere after pouring is not required.

[0021]

According to the present invention, according to the present invention, the flow hole is formed so that its cross section becomes irregular from a circular shape toward the outlet side, and its maximum diameter is smaller than the outer diameter of the microsphere. Thus, the contents obtained by dispersing the fine spheres are stored, and the fine spheres can be broken in the container by simply pressing the squeeze container body, and can be poured out while being mixed with the solution.
