[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a liquid dispensing container with a nozzle.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A liquid dispensing container equipped with a nozzle usually has a cap having a nozzle that is bent upright or laterally bent in an L-shape, and is fitted to the mouth and neck of a container body having an elastically compressible body. Then, the container body is squeezed to be discharged from the nozzle in the axial direction or the lateral direction of the neck portion of the container body.

[0003]

However, the liquid pouring direction differs depending on the case of performing the liquid pouring, and it is desirable that the liquid can be poured in both the axial direction and the lateral direction.

Accordingly, the present invention makes it possible to raise and lower the central portion of the top wall of the cap which raises the nozzle so that the direction of projection of the nozzle can be changed by the raising and lowering. By making it possible by elastic reversal of the undulating plate connecting the central part and the outer peripheral part of the top wall that does not undulate, the nozzle may change its protruding direction carelessly at the time of liquid injection, etc. It is provided so as not to spill.

[0005]

A container body 1 having an elastically squeezable body 2 erected from the upper end of the body with the mouth and neck 3 upright.
A cap 4 with a nozzle that fits from the outer periphery of the top wall 5 closing the upper surface of the mouth and neck to the outer surface of the mouth and neck and hangs down the peripheral wall 6, and the center of the top wall above the inner surface of the mouth and neck of the cap top wall A circular portion 5a and a top wall outer peripheral portion 5b other than the circular portion 5a;
The arbitrarily defined front portion is directly connected via the first thin hinge 7 and the other portion is cut off. Of both cut edges of the cut portion, the top wall is thicker from the center circular portion side and the top wall is thicker. From the outer peripheral portion 5b side, the first and second curved plates 9, 10 which are thinner and elastically deformable through the second thinner hinges 8, each having the widest rear portion and both ends on the direct connecting portion side forming acute angles are formed. Protrude inward and incline downward, and attach each leading edge of
The top wall center circular portion 5a is connected via a thin hinge 11.
The handle 14 protrudes outward from the rear edge portion, and the central portion of the central circular portion 5a of the top wall is opened, and the nozzle 15 rises from the peripheral edge of the opening.

[0006]

The liquid in the container is discharged upward through the nozzle 15 by removing the nozzle cap 16 from the state shown in FIG. 1 and squeezing the body of the container from this state.

Next, as shown in FIG. 2, when the handle 14 is pulled up, the top wall central circular portion 5a having the nozzle 15 is moved to the first position.
It rotates around the thin hinge 7 and is inclined by the first and second curved plates 9 and 10 being pulled out,
Therefore, the nozzle 15 changes its protruding direction and pours the liquid obliquely upward and outward by squeezing the container body from this state. When the handle 14 is pulled up to rotate the center circular portion 5a of the top wall around the first thin hinge 7, the second curved plate 10 is rotated.
A plate portion 10a from the upper end point O1 of the rear part to the lower end point B
Is to rotate so that the lower end point B moves along an arc C1 having a radius from the upper end point O1 to the lower end point B, but the second curved plate 10 is elastically changeable. The point B of the lower end is also the lower end of the rear part of the first curved plate 9 which is less likely to be elastically deformed than the second curved plate,
The point B as the rear lower end of the first curved plate moves along an arc C2 having a radius from the point O1 to the point B of the first thin hinge 7, so that the two arcs C1 and C2 are separated from each other. With the most distant position as a dead point, it deforms against its elasticity up to the dead point, and moves from the dead point to the intersection A of both arcs while restoring elasticity, that is, moves by elastic reversal.

[0008]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Reference numeral 1 denotes a container body having a body 2 which can be elastically squeezed and having a mouth and neck 3 erected from the upper end of the body.

Numeral 4 is a cap with a nozzle screwed onto the mouth and neck, which hangs a peripheral wall 6 screwed from the outer periphery of the top wall 5 closing the upper surface of the mouth and neck to the outer surface of the mouth and neck. The top wall 5 directly connects the top wall center circular portion 5a above the inner surface of the mouth and neck and the top wall outer peripheral portion 5b other than this portion via a first thin hinge 7 at an arbitrarily determined front portion. , The other part is cut off, and the top wall center circular part 5a of the two cut edges of the cut part
From the top wall outer peripheral portion 5b side through the second thin hinge 8 and thin and elastically deformable. The second curved plates 9, 10 protrude inward and downward. Also, the respective leading edges of the two curved plates are connected via a third thin hinge 11. These curved plates will be described later.

The top wall 5 may be raised at the center as shown in the illustrated example. In the illustrated example, the top wall portion on the upper surface of the raised tube 12 is a top wall central circular portion 5a, and the inner periphery of the upper end of the raised tube is formed. The part is provided with a first thin hinge 7 and a separation part. In the illustrated example, the fitting tube 13 is hung from the back surface of the top wall to the inner surface of the mouth and neck.

The handle 14 protrudes outward from the rear end of the central circular portion 5a of the top wall, the central portion of the central circular portion 5a of the top wall is opened, and the nozzle 15 stands up from the opening edge. As shown in the drawing, the nozzle may be formed so that only the base cylinder is erected from the peripheral edge of the opening, and a separately formed nozzle may be fitted to the base cylinder. Reference numeral 16 denotes a nozzle cap fitted to the nozzle as required.

The first and second curved plates 9 and 10 are elastically pulled up by pulling up the handle 14 from the state shown in FIG. 1 so that the first and second curved plates 9 and 10 are elastic as shown in FIG. It is pulled out by inversion, and returns to the state of FIG. 1 by being pushed down. The elastic reversal is as described in the above-mentioned operation.

[0013]

[Effects of the Invention] Since the present invention has the above-described configuration, the protrusion direction of the nozzle 15 can be changed by pulling up or pushing down the handle 14, which is convenient for the liquid pouring and the handle operation. When the center circular portion 5a of the top wall swings around the first thin hinge 7, the first and second curved plates 9 and 10 are elastically inverted, so that unless the handle operation is performed artificially, The nozzle does not inadvertently change its protruding direction, so that the nozzle tip does not rattle.

FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of a main part in a state where a nozzle protruding direction is changed by pulling up a handle.
