With this, it is possible to provide a liquid container having an extremely simple structure that can easily and surely extract the liquid in the container body.

Example An example of a liquid container according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. 1 to 3 are views showing a first embodiment of a liquid container according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the liquid container includes a long container body 1 in which a viscous liquid (hereinafter, simply referred to as “liquid”) such as a nail polish liquid or a correction liquid is stored, and a liquid container in the container body 1. A substantially rod-shaped liquid supply member 2 inserted therein, a first support member 4 attached to the distal end of the container body 1 and supporting the liquid supply member 2 movably in the axial direction, and provided on the support member 4. Liquid delivery path 3,
And a cap 6 detachably fitted to the container body 1. As will be described later, the substantially rod-shaped liquid supply member 4 is supported by the first support member 4 by inserting the distal end of the substantially rod-shaped liquid supply member 4 into the liquid delivery path 3. The distal end constitutes a valve mechanism for opening and closing the liquid delivery path 3 by advancing and retreating the liquid supply member 4.

The container body 1 is made of a material that does not cause a chemical change and is deformable by the liquid contained therein, and is made of, for example, nylon 66, nylon 6, PVDF.
(Vinylidene fluoride) and LLDPE (linear low-density polyethylene). The front end of the container body 1 is open, and a screw 10 is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the front end of the opening. An expandable portion 11 is formed on the rear end side of the container body 1, and the expandable portion 11 is configured to be contracted by knocking the rear end portion of the container body 1.
Further, a constricted portion 12 is formed at a substantially intermediate portion in the longitudinal direction of the container main body 1, and when the liquid supply member 2 is inserted through the constricted portion 12, the constricted portion 12 reduces the deflection of the liquid supply member 2. The liquid supply member 2 is supported so as to prevent it. Therefore,
The liquid supply member 2 can smoothly move forward and backward while being guided by the constricted portion 12.

The first support member 4 has a large-diameter portion 40 having a substantially cylindrical shape and a small-diameter portion 41 having a substantially H-shaped longitudinal section. The liquid delivery path 3 is formed in the bridging portion 42 extending in the radial direction of the substantially H-shaped small-diameter portion 41 in the vertical section of the support member 4, and the substantially cylindrical large-diameter portion 40 of the support member 4 has an inner periphery. A screw 43 is formed. A second support member 7 that further supports the liquid supply member 2 is interposed between the support member 4 and the container body 1, and the threaded portion 43 of the first support member 4 is changed to a threaded form of the container body 1. The first support member 4 is screwed to the container body 1 by being screwed to the portion 10. The second support member 7 is an annular packing having a hole 70 forming a liquid flow passage, and also has a function as a seal for preventing the liquid from evaporating from the container body 1. It is desirable that the threaded portion 10 of the container body 1 and the threaded portion 43 of the first support member 4 are each shaped to form a reverse screw. by this,
When the cap 6 is removed from the container body 1, even if the user removes the cap 6 while rotating it, for example, there is no risk that the first support member 4 and the container body 1 may be disengaged. The reverse screw can be said to be a more secure screwing means because a force acts to enable a firm connection of the screw. In the illustrated embodiment, as described above, the first support member 4 is configured to be mounted on the distal end portion of the container body 1 via a screw, but the mounting means is not limited to the screw, and the first support member 4 is not limited to the screw. Any means may be used as long as the member 4 can be detachably attached to the tip of the container body 1. For example, one of the concave portion and the convex portion may be connected to the support member 4.
And the other of the concave portion and the convex portion is formed in the container main body 1, and the concave and convex portions are fitted to each other so that the support member 4 is fitted to the container main body 1. Alternatively, the support member 4 may be mounted on the container body 1 by press fitting.

In the container body 1 to which the first support member 4 is attached, the long liquid supply member 2 is disposed movably in the axial direction through the constricted portion 12 as described above. Extends through the liquid flow passage 70 of the second support member 7 and the liquid delivery passage 3 of the first support member 4. More specifically, the liquid supply member 2 has a long, substantially rod-shaped main body, and the liquid guide bar 20 and the container main body 1 are arranged in this order from the front end to the rear end of the long rod-shaped main body. A swelling portion 21, a pump step portion 22, and a knock portion 23 are formed to engage with the second support member 7 interposed between the first support member 4 and the first support member 4. The liquid supply member 2
As shown in FIG. 2, a portion between the pump step portion 22 and the knock portion 23 in the rod-shaped main body is formed in a substantially cross-shaped cross section so as to withstand a knock force with a minimum necessary cross-sectional area. .

The brush 8 and the pipe 80 are fixed via an attachment member 81 in the inside of the distal end of the substantially H-shaped small diameter portion 41 of the first support member 4. The tip of the liquid guide bar 20 is slidably inserted into the pipe 80. The pipe 80 is used to enable the guide bar 20 to move smoothly. If the pipe 8 is formed integrally with the brush 8, the pipe 80 can be omitted.

As shown in FIG. 3, a notch 25 is formed around the outer periphery of the liquid guide bar 20 of the liquid supply member 2, and the notch 25 of the liquid guide bar 20 is provided on the first support member 4. A valve mechanism for opening and closing the liquid delivery path 3 is configured. More specifically, the notch 25 is formed by a portion of the guide bar 20 corresponding to a portion between the leading edge 31 and the trailing edge 32 of the liquid delivery path 3 and a rear end edge 32 of the solution delivery path 3. It extends between a predetermined portion of the guide bar 20 further behind. When the liquid supply member 2 is pushed forward as described later, the front edge of the notch 25 of the liquid guide bar 20 passes through the front edge 31 of the liquid delivery path 3 as the liquid supply member 2 moves forward. The liquid delivery path 3 is communicated with the pipe 80 through the notch 25 by slipping into the pipe 80 (that is, the liquid delivery path 3 is opened), and the first support member 4 is moved by the pump mechanism as described later. The flow of the liquid in the container body 1 forcedly sent in the direction is enabled.

An elastic body 9 is provided between the second support member 7 closing the opening end of the container body 1 and the pump step 22 of the liquid supply member 2.
The liquid supply member 2 is constantly urged rearward by the elastic body 9. As a result, the swelling portion 21 of the liquid supply member 2 is tightly locked by the second support member 7 to provide a second valve mechanism for closing the liquid flow passage 70 provided in the second support member 7. Make up. It should be noted that the bulging portion 21 of the liquid supply member 2 is configured to be in close contact with the second support member 7 as described above so that the liquid in the container body 1 cannot normally flow through the liquid flow passage 70. Bulging portion of the liquid supply member 2
A rib may be formed on the second support member 7 so that the liquid can always flow through the liquid flow passage 70 and the bulging portion 21 provided in the second support member 7.

The pump step 22 of the liquid supply member 2 constitutes a pump mechanism in cooperation with the inner space 13 at the tip of the container body 1. More specifically, the outer dimensions of the pump step 22 of the liquid supply member 2 are such that a gap 14 is formed between the pump step 22 of the liquid supply member 2 and the inner space 13 at the distal end of the container body 1. The diameter is set slightly smaller than the diameter of the inner space 13 at the tip of the container body 1. Therefore, when the liquid supply member 2 is moved forward in the axial direction, the pump step 22 forcibly moves the liquid in the inner space 13 forward while moving forward in the inner space 13 at the tip of the container body 1. Acts to make it flow. In addition, as shown in FIG. 1, a gap 15 is usually set in advance between the pump step portion 22 and the inner space 13 at the tip end portion of the container body 1. The liquid can freely flow into the inner space 13.

In order to prevent the expansion and contraction portion 11 of the container body 1 from contracting due to the change in the atmospheric pressure and the rear end wall portion 16 of the tank 1 from contacting the liquid supply member 2, the liquid supply member 2 is prevented from malfunctioning. A gap 17 is formed in advance between the rear end of the knock portion 23 and the rear end wall portion 16 of the container body 1.

The cap 6 detachably fitted to the container body 1 in a sealed state is configured as a double cap structure having an outer cap portion 60 and an inner cap portion 61 disposed in the outer cap portion 60. I have. Therefore, when the cap 6 is fitted to the container body 1 as shown in FIG.
Is covered by the inner cap portion 61, so it is undeniable that the inner surfaces of the first support member 4 and the inner cap portion 61 may be stained, but the outflow and evaporation of the liquid from the brush 8 are effectively prevented. The outer cap part 60 and the support member 4
There is no danger of soiling the fitting part with. An annular groove 62 is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the outer cap portion 60 near the opening end, and an annular protrusion 44 is similarly formed on the outer peripheral surface of the first support member 4. The cap 6 is formed by fitting these annular grooves 62 and the annular projections 44 together.
Is firmly fitted to the container body 1. The first
Reference numeral 18 in the figure indicates a liquid stirring member.

In the first embodiment of the liquid container according to the present invention configured as described above, the bulging portion 21 of the liquid supply member 2 is normally pressed against the second support member 7 by the elastic force of the elastic body 9. To close the liquid flow passage 70 formed in the support member 7, and the leading edge of the notch 25 formed in the liquid guide bar 20 of the liquid supply member 2 is connected to the liquid delivery passage 3 provided in the first support member 4. Leading edge 31 and trailing edge 32 of
And the liquid delivery path 3 is closed between them, so that the flow of the liquid is completely shut off.

When the user knocks on the rear end wall portion 16 of the container body 1 in a state where the flow of the liquid is completely shut off, the expansion and contraction portion 11 of the container body 1 is thereby contracted, and the liquid supply member 2 Moved forward against the resilience. As the liquid supply member 2 moves forward, the bulging portion 20 of the liquid supply member 2 separates from the second support member 7 to open a liquid flow passage 70 formed in the support member 7, and the liquid supply member 2 The leading edge of the notch 25 formed in the second liquid guide bar 20 is shifted forward from the leading edge 31 of the liquid delivery path 3 provided in the first support member 4, so that the liquid delivery path 3 moves through the notch 25. Through pipe 80
And is opened. In the process of forward movement of the liquid supply member 2, the liquid is forcibly pushed by the pump step 22 toward the inner space 13 at the tip of the tank 1, and passes through the opened liquid flow 70. And pushed further forward,
Eventually, the ink is supplied to the brush 8 via the pipe 80 through the liquid supply path 3 which is also in the open state. Although it differs depending on the viscosity concentration of the liquid, a small amount of liquid is formed between the pump step 22 and the inner space 13 of the container body 1 in the process of being pushed toward the inner space 13 of the container body 1 by the pump step 22. It escapes from the gap 15 between them. However, most of the liquid is forced to pass through the liquid flow passage 70 of the second support member 7 by the pump mechanism. Each time the liquid supply member 2 moves forward, the liquid guide bar 20 slides with respect to the liquid delivery path 3, the pipe 80, and the brush 8, so that the liquid guide bar 20 is consequently moved. Since the pipe 80 is cleaned and the brush 8 is loosened, clogging or the like does not occur.

When the knocking operation is released, the liquid supply member 2 retreats by the elastic force of the elastic body 9 and returns to the first illustrated state in which the first and second valve mechanisms are closed. When the liquid has settled out of use for a long time, the liquid is stirred by shaking the container body 1 to move the stirring member 18 and then pressing the container body 1 to remove the liquid. Distribution can be performed smoothly.

FIG. 4 is a view showing a second embodiment of the liquid container according to the present invention. This embodiment differs from the first embodiment only with respect to the cap 6, and the other parts are not described.
