The length of the step 23 and the lower end of the side tube wall 21 is equal to the length of the side tube wall 8 of the dispensing tube 6 minus the vertical width of the guide groove 15.
[0013]
Next, the operation member D will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in the drawing, the operation member D includes a pair of side plates 30 (a, b) provided facing each other in the front-rear direction and a pair of pressing plates 31 (a, b) provided facing the left and right. The left and right fixed ranges of the upper surface extend from the upper ends of the side plate 30 and the pressing plate 31 and are covered with a top plate 33 (a, b) having an arc edge 32 (a, b) on the inside.
[0014]
An inclined guide 35 (a, b) is formed at the center of the inner side surface 34 (a, b) of the side plate 30 (a, b). An inclined portion 37 extending downward and extending downward is provided.
A sliding plate 38 (a, b) projecting inward is formed at the lower end of each side plate 30 (a, b).
An inner edge of the sliding plate 38 (a, b) is composed of a straight edge 39 and an arc edge 40, and the arc edge 40 is located corresponding to the vertical portion 36 of the inclined guide 35. The arc center of 40 is at the intersection of line aa and line AA connecting the centers of the vertical portions 36, and the diameter thereof is the diameter of the outer circumference circle so as to be loosely fitted to the outer circumference of the lower end of the side cylinder wall 8. It is almost equal.
[0015]
The width between the straight edges 39 of the front and rear sliding plates 38 (a, b) is such that the bottom surface of the groove slides along the bottom surface of the pair of guide grooves 15 provided at the lower end of the side cylinder wall 8 of the cap B. The operation member D is guided and slid in the left-right direction by the guide groove 15.
[0016]
The pressing plate 31 (a, b) extends downward from the sliding plate 38, and the diameter of the arcuate surface 41 (a, b) on the inside thereof is approximately the same as the diameter of the outer circumference of the fitting cylinder 4 of the cap B. The range of the left and right movement of the operation member D is regulated.
The diameter of the arc of the arc edge 32 of the top plate 33 is substantially the same as the diameter of the outer peripheral surface of the side cylinder wall 21 of the closed cylinder C.
[0017]
Next, with reference to FIG. 6, 7, the effect at the time of use of the extraction container is demonstrated. As shown in FIG. 6A, when the operation member D is positioned at the left stroke end, the protruding pin 25 engages with the lower end of the inclined portion 37 of the inclined guide 35 to lower the lower end of the closed cylinder C. The spout X is closed.
[0018]
When the operating member D is moved in the right direction, the inclined portion 37 of the inclined guide 35 moves to the right and acts to push up the protruding pin 25, so that the closed cylinder C rises.
When the operation member D reaches the right stroke end as shown in FIG. 6B, the projecting pin 25 engages with the end of the inclined portion 37, the vertical portion 36, and prevents further movement of the operation member D to the right. As a result, the raising of the closed cylinder C is stopped.
Then, the closed cylinder C is maintained at the highest position, and the spout X is opened.
[0019]
As shown in FIG. 7A, when the operating member D is at the right stroke end, the arc edge 40 of the sliding plate 38 corresponds to the guide groove 15, and the arc diameter of the arc edge 40 is Since the loose fit state is substantially equal to the diameter of the outer periphery of the lower end of the side cylinder wall 8, the operation member D can be rotated.
[0020]
When the operation member D is rotated as shown in FIG. 7B, the end 42 of the arc edge 40 is separated from the guide groove 15 and comes to a position corresponding to the circumference of the lower end of the side cylinder wall 8.
At that time, when the operation member D is pushed leftward, the end 42 of the arc edge collides with the outer peripheral surface of the side tube wall 8 and is prevented from moving to the left.
As a result, the relative position between the inclined guide 35 and the protruding pin 25 does not change, and the opening state of the spout X is maintained.
[0021]
Accordingly, when the container is used, the closing tube C can be moved up and down by pressing the pressing plate 31 (a, b) of the operating member D and moving the operating member D left and right, thereby opening and closing the spout X. Further, when the operation member D is rotated when the spout X is opened, the left and right movement of the operation member D is prevented, so that the opening state of the spout X is maintained and the operation member D is prevented from being disturbed.
