Description

  The present invention relates to an application nozzle used for application of various liquids (including viscous fluids; the same applies hereinafter) such as detergents, softeners, adhesives, and drugs, and an application tool including the application nozzle.

  Currently, the frequency of using various liquids such as detergents, softeners, adhesives, and drugs is very high for people to live their lives, and there are various tools to improve the convenience when using these liquids. Cross. For example, a nozzle for applying a liquid to an object to be coated (an object to be coated), a container equipped with the nozzle, and the like are generally used to improve convenience during liquid application work. Yes.

  For example, in Patent Document 1 (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2012-045442), a through hole that discharges liquid from the second side of the nozzle body and an outer periphery of the liquid bead discharged from the through hole are added so as to be substantially in contact with each other. A plurality of first openings provided on the second side for releasing pressurized gas to form a liquid bead into an elongated liquid fiber spiral discharge pattern, and a plurality of first openings from the through holes on the second side. Spiral discharge is arranged at the same distance as the opening or closer to the through hole than the plurality of first openings, to suppress the expansion of the diameter of the initial swirling spiral early in the early stage of the liquid fiber swirling A nozzle is disclosed having a plurality of second openings 13 that discharge pressurized gas around the pattern in parallel with the longitudinal axis of the through-hole.

  However, the nozzle disclosed in Patent Document 1 secures a liquid passage by forming a through hole penetrating at a substantially central projection position and a plurality of other openings penetrating at different positions. However, it is effective for collecting liquid on the protrusions and applying to the details of the object to be coated, but it is not suitable for application to a large area of the object to be coated. It was.

  Therefore, when paying attention to the structure of the surface (application surface) of the nozzle disclosed in Patent Document 1, it is clear that the liquid cannot be simply applied while dispersing the liquid over a large area, and there is still room for improvement. there were.

  Accordingly, an object of the present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and to provide a coating nozzle capable of reliably performing a coating operation over a wide range by a simple operation and a coating tool including the coating nozzle. It is in.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention

A coating portion that is formed substantially in the center and has a discharge hole that communicates the front and back sides;
A plurality of protrusions and grooves substantially orthogonal to the ejection holes are formed on the surface of the application portion;
The nozzle for application | coating characterized by these can be provided.

  In the coating nozzle of the present invention having such a configuration, after connecting with the container storing the liquid, the internal pressure inside the container is increased by applying a pressing force to the side of the container in an upside down state. Liquid can be discharged from the discharge hole to the outside. Since the liquid moves from the discharge hole directly or after spreading the groove to the application part, by repeatedly sliding the application part with respect to the object to be coated in this state, the liquid reaches the tip of the protrusion from the application part. It can be applied to an object. Since the liquid can be applied to the object to be coated both at the surface of the application portion and at the point of the protrusion, the user can easily and reliably apply the liquid with a simple operation.

  In addition, the “object to be coated” in the present invention includes all objects to be coated on which various liquids (including fluids having viscosity) such as detergents, softeners, adhesives, and drugs are applied. For example, it is a concept that widely includes cloth products such as clothes and towels, paper products, wooden products, and metal products.

  In the coating nozzle of the present invention, it is preferable that the groove is formed in a substantially cross shape in a state where the coating portion is viewed in plan. Moreover, it is preferable that the said groove | channel is comprised so that it may become shallow toward an edge part from a substantially cross-shaped center part.

  In the coating nozzle of the present invention having such a configuration, the liquid discharged from the discharge hole can be guided to spread in a substantially cross shape along the groove, and as a result, coating over a wide range is facilitated.

  In the coating nozzle of the present invention described above, it is desirable that the plurality of protrusions be formed in a substantially radial shape when the coating portion is viewed in plan.

  In the coating nozzle of the present invention having such a configuration, the liquid that has moved from the coating portion to the projection can be dispersed over a wide range and more reliably adhered to the object to be coated.

  The present invention also provides an application tool characterized in that the application nozzle of the present invention is connected to the opening of the container.

  In the applicator of the present invention having such a configuration, the liquid can be applied to the object to be coated both at the surface of the application part and at the point of the protrusion, and the liquid can be applied easily and reliably with a simple operation. Work can be done.

  According to the present invention configured as described above, a coating nozzle capable of reliably performing a coating operation by a simple operation while dispersing a liquid in a coating range by a surface and a point and a coating tool including the coating nozzle. Can be provided.

1. Outline of Application Nozzle 1 An outline of the application nozzle 1 according to this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing an outline of a coating nozzle 1 according to the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, the application nozzle 1 is used for applying various liquids (including fluids having viscosity) such as detergents, softeners, adhesives, and drugs, and in particular, the clothes 51. It enables suitable application of various detergents to the collar and sleeve.

  The application nozzle 1 is used by being screwed into the opening 55 of the container 53 in which the liquid is stored, and the liquid discharged from the discharge hole 7 provided substantially at the center of the surface of the application nozzle 1 is formed into a substantially cross-shaped groove. 9 and the unevenness formed by the plurality of protrusions 11 can be applied to the garment 51 simply and without unevenness by spreading over the entire nozzle surface.

  In the present embodiment, the object to be coated is a garment 51, and the application nozzle 1 for applying a detergent to the collar and sleeve of the garment 51 will be described as a representative. In the present embodiment, in order to facilitate understanding, the horizontal direction is X, the vertical direction Y, and the connection direction between the coating nozzle 1 and the container 53 is Z in a state where the coating portion 3 of the coating nozzle 1 is viewed from the front. Define the direction.

2. Structure of coating nozzle 1 <Overview of structure>
Next, the structure of the coating nozzle 1 according to the present embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIG. FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating the structure of the coating nozzle 1 according to the present embodiment, in which FIG. 2A is a plan view of the coating nozzle 1, and FIG. FIG. 2C is a bottom view of the coating nozzle 1. The application nozzle 1 is a substantially plug part for the container 53 provided with the application part 3 that enables liquid application to the clothes 51.

  As shown in FIGS. 2A, 2B, and 2C, the coating nozzle 1 is provided with a connection portion 5 that is connected to the opening 55 of the container 53, and a discharge hole 7 that is formed substantially at the center and communicates between the front and back sides. And a plurality of protrusions 11 and grooves 9 that are substantially orthogonal to the discharge holes 7 are formed on the surface of the application part 3.

<Structure of application part 3 and connection part 5>
More specifically, the structure of the coating nozzle 1 is mainly constituted by a substantially plane-shaped coating portion 3 and a substantially cylindrical connecting portion 5, and the back surface of the coating portion 3 while aligning the centers of both. By fixing the end surface of the connecting portion 5 to the first, an integral structure is formed. In addition, the direction X (direction Y) of the application part 3 and the central axis (direction Z) of the connection part 5 become a substantially orthogonal aspect (refer especially FIG.2 (b)).

  The application part 3 has a substantially circular shape in a plan view, and an edge part 13 is extended with a predetermined dimension on the side of the connection part 5 in the direction Z along the circumference of the edge. The edge portion 13 is formed substantially parallel to the connecting portion 5 with a predetermined separation distance, and sandwiches the opening 55 of the container 53 between the inner side surface of the container 53 and the outer side surface of the connecting portion 5, or the inner side thereof. The side surface and the outer surface of the opening 55 are formed so as to be screw-fitted and screwed together, thereby integrally connecting the coating nozzle 1 and the container 1 (see particularly FIGS. 2B and 2C). ).

  In addition, as for the dimension of the direction Z of the edge part 13, and the separation distance with the connection part 5, it is desirable to determine suitably according to the shape and size of the container 53 to be used. Although not described in detail in the present embodiment, for example, for a container 53 capable of storing a liquid for a certain amount or more, it is desirable to further strengthen the joint structure between the coating nozzle 1 and the container 53.

  In addition, as described above, the discharge hole 7 is formed in the approximate center of the application part 3. The discharge hole 7 is a hole penetrating the inside of the coating nozzle 1 in the direction Z, and is a passage for discharging the liquid inside the connected container 53 to the outside. The diameter of the discharge hole 7 may be set, for example, in the range of φ0.3 to φ0.9, and more preferably in the range of φ0.5 to φ0.7. If the diameter of the discharge hole 7 is set to the above-mentioned size, for example, various liquids can be suitably passed through corresponding to a wide viscosity.

  As described above, the connection portion 5 is a substantially cylindrical portion, and in the present embodiment, a shape that is gradually reduced in diameter toward the side opposite to the application portion 3 side in the direction Z is adopted. The aspect of the diameter reduction and the detailed dimensions are not particularly limited, but if the connection part 5 is formed in this way, when the connection part 5 is inserted into the opening 55 of the container 53, Thus, the lower end in the direction Z of the connecting portion 5 can be easily guided.

<Structure of groove 9>
As described above, the application part 3 is formed with the groove 9 substantially orthogonal to the direction Z. The groove 9 is formed in a substantially cross shape when the application portion 9 is viewed in plan (particularly, see FIG. 2A), and the liquid discharged from the discharge hole 7 is directed along the groove Y in the direction Y and the direction. X can be guided to spread.

  The groove 9 is configured so as to become shallower (in the direction X and the direction Y) from the substantially cross-shaped central portion toward the end portion, and the central portion is the deepest and the end portion is the shallowest. It is desirable that the depth is about 1 mm to 3 mm at the shallowest portion, and the length is preferably formed so as not to reach the edge portion 13 from the center (the discharge hole 7) of the application portion 3. If the surface of the application part 3 is formed in a substantially arc shape, the groove 9 gradually becomes shallower from the center of the application part 3 (discharge hole 7) toward the edge 13, and the end of the groove 9 becomes the edge of the application part 3. It can be set as the aspect connected to the surface. In addition, the corner of the groove 9 (near the center of the substantially cross shape) is chamfered on the edge 13 side of the application part 3 and does not hinder the liquid guidance.

<Structure of protrusion 11>
A plurality of protrusions 11 are formed on the application part 3. The protrusions 11 are formed so as to be regularly arranged in a substantially radial manner when viewed in plan from the application unit 3 (see in particular FIG. 2A), and the liquid discharged from the discharge holes 7 is directed to the clothes 51. Can be reliably adhered while being dispersed over a wide range.

  The protrusion 11 has a substantially hemispherical shape and a radius of, for example, 0.5 mm to 1.1 mm, and more preferably 0.7 mm to 0.9 mm. Further, since the protrusion 11 is not formed overlapping with the groove 9, an unevenness is formed on the surface of the application part 3. For this reason, the liquid discharged from the discharge hole 7 can be moved to the unevenness directly from the discharge hole 7 or via the groove 9 and can be held together with the surface tension. It is possible to reach the vicinity of the tip of the protrusion 11.

3. How to Use Application Nozzle 1 <Connection to Container 51>
Next, a method for connecting the coating nozzle 1 and the container 53 will be described in detail with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a method for connecting the coating nozzle 1 and the container 53, and FIG. 3A is a schematic diagram showing a state in which the container 53 is filled with liquid and the coating nozzle 1 is connected. FIG. 3B is a schematic view showing a state in which the application tool 57 is configured by connecting the application nozzle 1 to the container 53.

  First, as shown to Fig.3 (a), the container 53 is made to stand upright on the smooth surface of the desk etc. which can be worked, and a liquid (in this embodiment, detergent) is filled inside. After the container 53 is filled with a desired amount of liquid, the end of the connecting portion 5 is placed with the coating nozzle 1 approaching the opening 55 of the container 53 and the coating portion 3 facing upward in the direction Z. Part is inserted into the opening 55.

  When the application nozzle 1 is gradually pressed against the container 53 and the edge 13 completely covers the edge of the opening 55, the connection between the application nozzle 1 and the container 53 is completed, and the application tool 57 is configured. (See particularly FIG. 3 (b)). Needless to say, when screw fitting is employed, both are rotated by a predetermined amount for connection. Although there is no particular limitation on the form of the container 53, it is preferably formed using, for example, polypropylene or polyethylene, and can be easily deformed when the side surface is pressed during use to change the internal pressure of the container 53. Is desirable.

<Application of liquid to clothing 51>
Next, a method for applying a liquid to the garment 51 using an application tool 57 configured by connecting the application nozzle 1 and the container 53 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram showing a liquid application method to the garment 51 using the application tool 57.

  As shown in FIG. 4, first, clothes 51 are placed on a smooth place suitable for the liquid application work, and the collar or sleeve is spread as smooth as possible. After changing the posture by reversing the direction Z of the applicator tool 57 configured as described above, the applicator 3 is brought closer to the garment 51 and a pressing force is applied to the side of the container 53.

  Since the internal pressure of the inside of the container 53 is increased by the pressing force, the liquid passes through the discharge hole 7 and is discharged to the outside, and further moves from the discharge hole 7 directly or after expanding the groove 9 to the application unit 3. In this state, the entire application tool 57 is repeatedly moved in the direction X or the direction Y, and the application part 3 is slid on the surface of the garment 51. Liquid reaches.

  Subsequently, by continuing to press the side of the container 53, the supply of liquid is maintained on the front surface of the application unit 3 and the tip of the protrusion 11, and a desired amount of liquid can be applied to the clothes 51. By using the application nozzle 1 of the present embodiment, the liquid can be applied to the garment 51 both on the surface of the application part 3 and on the protrusion 11, so that the user can easily and easily perform the operation. The liquid application operation can be reliably performed.

  The embodiments of the present invention have been described above with reference to the drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments, and does not depart from the spirit and teachings of the claims of the utility model registration claims. There are other improvements and modifications. Those skilled in the art will readily understand that all such improvements and modifications are included in the technical scope of the present invention.
