Description

  The present invention relates to a device for removing an inner stopper of a container when the contents are refilled in a container such as a cosmetic.

  Conventionally, in the cosmetics industry, from the viewpoint of effective use of resources, there is an increasing demand for refilling the contents of cosmetic containers and repeatedly using cosmetic containers. Moreover, when discarding a cosmetic container, it is required to separate and discard members made of different materials for resource recycling. However, in a normal container, the inner stopper is forcibly fitted to the mouth of the container body, and it is difficult to remove it without using a tool.

  Therefore, in order to solve such a problem, Patent Documents 1 and 2 disclose that an opening / closing part is provided in the inner stopper of the container, or the inner lid is screwed into the container mouth part so as to be removable. A container is disclosed that facilitates refilling of goods. Further, Patent Document 3 discloses an inner plug pull-out plate that can be easily detached from the container body by being locked to the outlet of the inner plug.

  However, in Patent Documents 1 and 2, it is necessary to process the inner stopper and the container itself in order to make the inner stopper openable and detachable, and thus it is not a technique that can be used universally for conventional containers. It was. Moreover, the thing of patent document 3 must form an inner stopper with a soft synthetic resin so that the outlet of an inner stopper may bend and the latching part of an inner stopper extraction board can be inserted in an outlet, There is no problem in removing the inner stopper pull-out plate from the outlet of the inner stopper, so there is no problem when separating and discarding, but if you want to refill the contents and use the container repeatedly, reuse the inner stopper. It was not possible to reuse the container.

  Therefore, the present invention can be used universally for existing inner plugs without processing the inner plug itself of the container, and the removal work of the inner plugs is easy, and the manufacturing cost can be kept low. It is an object of the present invention to provide a container opener.

  The present invention solves the above-described problems, and includes a shaft portion, a finger-hanging portion formed at one end of the shaft portion and having a side portion on which a finger can be hooked, and a shaft formed at the other end of the shaft portion. A container opener having a locking portion bent in a substantially vertical direction from the portion.

The container inner bottle opener of the present invention is easy to insert and remove the engaging portion from the outlet of the inner stopper, and is convenient when repeating the operation of refilling the contents. In addition, since there is no need to process the inner stopper itself, it can be used for the inner stopper of a ready-made container, and the inner stopper is not required and the container inner stopper is also provided. Since the structure is very simple, the manufacturing cost can be kept low.

The front view of the container opener according to the present invention. The side view of the container opener according to the present invention. The top view of the container opener according to the present invention. Drawing which shows the usage form of the container inside bottle opener of this invention.

  Hereinafter, the container opener according to the present invention will be specifically described with reference to the drawings. Note that the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

  FIG. 1 is a front view of a container opener according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is a side view thereof, and FIG. 3 is a plan view thereof. In the figure, 1 is a shaft portion, 2 is a finger-hanging portion, 3 is a locking portion, and 21 is a side portion.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the container opener according to the present invention is formed by bending a single rod-shaped material, and a finger hook portion 2 for hooking a finger is formed at the end of the shaft portion 1. A locking portion 3 for locking to the outlet of the inner plug is formed at the opposite end.

  In the present embodiment, the finger rest portion 2 is formed in a circular shape into which a finger can be inserted. A side portion 21 that can be hooked with a finger is formed in a part of the finger-hanging portion 2 that is on the extension line of the shaft portion 1. The pulling force is effectively transmitted to the shaft portion 1 and the locking portion 3 at the tip end. In addition, in this embodiment, since the finger-hanging part 2 is formed in a circular shape, the boundary of the side part 21 is not clear, but the side part 21 in this embodiment is an axis in which a finger is put into the finger-holding part 2. It means the inside of the finger hook 2 that the finger touches when pulled to the opposite side (upward in the drawing) from the part 1. Further, the shape of the finger-hanging portion 2 is not necessarily limited to a circle. For example, as long as the finger-hanging portion 2 can be hooked, it may be formed in an oval shape, a semi-circle shape, a triangle shape, a rectangular shape, or the like. The side portion 21 is formed in a curved shape in the present embodiment, but may be formed in a linear shape, for example. However, in order to efficiently transmit the pulling force from the finger to the shaft portion 1, the side portion 21 is formed so that the extension line of the shaft portion 2 is farthest from the shaft portion 2 as in this embodiment. It is preferable to use a curved line.

  A locking portion 3 is bent and formed at the end opposite to the end where the finger hanging portion 2 is formed. In this embodiment, the locking portion 3 is bent in a substantially vertical direction with respect to the shaft portion 1 and is formed to have an optimum length for locking to the discharge port of the inner plug. The optimum length of the locking portion 3 is formed such that the tip of the locking portion 3 protrudes 1.0 mm or more inside the container when the locking portion 3 is inserted into the discharge port of the inner plug. Thus, it is preferable because the attachment and detachment work to and from the inner plug discharge port can be easily performed and the catch on the discharge port can be sufficiently maintained during the operation of removing the inner plug. In addition, although the direction which bends the latching | locking part 3 is good also as a direction parallel to the direction which the finger-hook part 2 bends, by setting it as the direction orthogonal to the direction which the finger-hook part 2 bends like this embodiment, an inside plug Attaching to and removing from the discharge port is easier and preferable. Moreover, although the thickness of the axial part 1 and the latching | locking part 3 may differ, it is preferable to form in the same diameter and the axial part 1 and the latching | locking part 3 so that the operation | work which pulls out an inner plug can be performed easily. It is desirable that the outer diameter of the nozzle is formed to be the same or thinner than the inner diameter of the discharge port by about 0.3 mm.

  Next, the usage method of the container opener of the present invention will be described. FIG. 4A schematically shows a state in which the locking part 3 of the container stopper plug according to the present invention is inserted into the discharge port 101 of the container stopper 100. As shown in the figure, in order to insert the locking portion 3 into the discharge port 101, the shaft portion 1 is made substantially parallel to the inner plug 100, and further, the tip of the locking portion 3 is directed downward. Hold the bottle opener. And the latching | locking part 3 should just enter into the discharge outlet 101 from the front-end | tip.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 4 (b), the shaft portion 1 is inverted vertically with respect to the inner plug 100 while the locking portion 3 is inserted into the discharge port 101 of the inner plug 100. The stopper 3 is further inserted from the discharge port 101 to the back side of the inner plug 100. In this state, if a finger is put in the finger-hanging portion 2 and pulled in the direction of the arrow in the figure, an upward pulling force acts on the portion of the inner plug 100 that is locked by the locking portion 3, and as a result, the container mouth can be easily Further, the inner plug 100 can be pulled out.

  When removing the container stopper from the stopper 100, the direction of the shaft portion 1 is changed so that the state shown in FIG. 4B is changed to the state shown in FIG. The locking portion 3 can be easily removed from the discharge port 101 by tilting the plug 100 from the vertical direction to the parallel direction and pulling it upward as it is in the state of FIG.
