BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a bottle storage container that stores a pump bottle containing a liquid such as shampoo or rinse.
[0002]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Traditionally, liquid soap such as shampoos and rinses and body soaps were housed in squeeze resin bottles with caps with spout holes attached to the top of the bottle body. Considering the increase in internal capacity and the ease of use for dispensing small quantities, many products are provided in the form of products housed in pump bottles.
The pump bottle is provided with a pump part having a discharge nozzle on the upper part of a substantially cylindrical bottle main body, and a container such as a shampoo or a rinse by the ascending / descending body that is constantly biased upward. The pressure in the pouring path is lowered, the container is sucked into the pouring path, and the container is discharged from the discharge nozzle projecting sideways from the lifting body by pushing down the lifting body. In this way, almost a fixed amount can be dispensed every time the lifting body is pushed down. The pump bottle incorporates a lock mechanism in which the elevating body is positioned in the lowered state by lowering and rotating the elevating body, and is in an unused state for distribution or store display. Then, it is made to handle in the state of the lock which the raising / lowering body got down. Of course, if the user lowers and locks the lifting body after purchasing a product such as shampoo, it is possible to prevent the lifting body from being inadvertently pushed down, and to avoid wasteful dispensing of the contents.
[0003]
As mentioned above, this pump bottle has a discharge nozzle of the required length, so when the front of the bottle body on which the product name is drawn at the time of distribution or store display is in front In addition, the discharge nozzle is positioned so as to protrude sideways in a state where the lifting body is tightened by rotation, and the appearance when the product is viewed from the front is arranged.
By the way, products such as shampoos, rinses, and body soaps are usually displayed and sold directly on product shelves, but in addition to this method, they can be combined with related products and toiletries into simple storage containers. Display sales are also carried out. For example, in the case of a new product campaign or the like, in the case of face-to-face sales by a staff member, a simple storage container is combined with other products.
When goods are stored in such a storage container, a window is opened in front of the storage container or the storage container itself is assembled from a transparent sheet in order to make the internal goods easily visible to general buyers. It is assumed. In this case, it is important to make the front of the product visible through the front of the storage container in order to improve eye catching from the buyer side.
However, the pump bottle has a substantially cylindrical shape in the bottle body, and when it is simply stored in the storage container, it easily rotates inside the storage container when handling the storage container. On the other hand, the front of the pump bottle may be displaced and the merchantability may be reduced. In addition, when the pump bottle is stored in the storage container, there is a possibility that an operation error occurs in which the front and back surfaces of the pump bottle are reversed.
[0004]
As countermeasures against the above, the pump bottle contained in the storage container, or an adhesive table or the like is pasted on both the pump bottle and the related product to regulate the rotation of the pump bottle, or a recess for fitting the pump bottle is provided. It can be considered that the rotation of the pump bottle is regulated by fitting into the storage container together with the tray and fitting into the tray. In addition, there has been proposed a device that regulates the rotation of the pump bottle by inserting the pump bottle into the storage container and then covering it with a filling formed from foamed polystyrene corresponding to the upper shape of the pump bottle. A separate member has to be used only for restricting the rotation of the motor, and there is an inconvenience of raising the cost.
Therefore, in view of the above circumstances, the present invention aims to prevent the pump bottle from rotating in the storage container, and to prevent an error in the orientation when the pump bottle is put into the storage container. An object is to prevent the merchantability of the storage container from being impaired by directing the pump bottle in an appropriate direction.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
