Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、注出ノズルを有した容器から容易な操作で内容物を噴出させる、さらに詳言すれば、手で胴体部を掴持する押圧動作により注出ノズルを押し下げることができる注出容器に関するものである。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
例えば、或る種の染毛剤のように、２種の内容物を使用時に一緒に注出するタイプのもので、内容物を個々にエアゾール式容器に収納し、使用時に、この一対のエアゾール式容器から内容物を同時に噴出させると共に、この噴出した内容物を一緒に一か所から注出する容器として、特開平４−１０２５６９号公報に開示された技術がある。
【０００３】
この従来技術は、内容物を収納した一対のエアゾール式容器と、この一対のエアゾール式容器を並列に隣接して収納する有底の収納ケースと、この収納ケースの上端開口部を塞ぐ形態でヒンジ結合され、下面に各エアゾール式容器の注出ノズルが密嵌入して突き当たる段付き孔と、上面に吐出口と、そして両段付き孔と吐出口とを連通させる案内路とを形成したガイド部材の前端に、収納ケースの外側の前下方に垂下した押動レバーを連設した可動カバーと、から構成されている。
【０００４】
この従来技術にあっては、容器を掴持した片手の指で押動レバーを収納ケース側に押圧することにより、ヒンジ結合部を軸としてガイド部材を下降傾動させ、これにより一対のエアゾール式容器の注出ノズルを同時に押し下げて開放し、両エアゾール式容器の内容物を、段付き孔、案内路そして吐出口を経て、一緒に吐出するので、一つの押動レバーに対する簡単な押圧操作により、二つのエアゾール式容器の内容物を、同時にかつ一緒にした状態、すなわちそのまま使用することのできる状態で吐出する、と云う優れた効果を発揮する。
【０００５】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、上記した従来技術にあっては、吐出口を設けた可動カバーを収納ケースにヒンジ結合する必要があるので、その組付け構造が簡潔ではなく、かつ片側に対する力の作用による可動カバーの傾動下降により、エアゾール式容器の注出ノズルを開放するので、吐出バランスの変化により内容物が適切な混合比を保てなくなる場合がある恐れがあった。
【０００６】
同様に、可動カバーの傾動下降によりエアゾール式容器の注出ノズルを開放するので、可動カバーの段付き孔と注出ノズルとの間のシールを確保するのが難しい、と云う問題があった。
【０００７】
そこで、本発明は、上記した従来技術における問題点を解消すべく創案されたもので、容器を掴持した片手の指先の操作により、エアゾール式容器、ポンプ式容器等の注出ノズルを有した容器の注出ノズルを押し下げる部分を、簡単にかつ安定して下降変位させるようにすることを技術的課題とし、もって内容物を注出する部分の姿勢を一定させると共に、強固で安定したシール性を確保し、さらに良好で安全な取扱い性を有した注出容器を得ることを目的とする。
【０００８】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記技術的課題を解決する本発明の内、請求項１記載の発明の手段は、頭部の上面中央に、開閉機能付きの注出ノズルを起立させ、この注出ノズルの押し下げ動作により内容物の注出が可能な容器体を有すること、この容器体の胴部に外嵌する外装筒の上端に連設された頂板の中央に、前記注出ノズルが突出する開口部を開設して構成され、容器体の上端部に不動に外装する装着体を有すること、注出ノズルが密嵌入して突き当たる段付き孔を下面に開設すると共に、上面中央に注出筒片を立設し、この注出筒片が形成する注出口と段付き孔とを連通させる注出路を内部に形成した押圧ブロックを有し、この押圧ブロックの前後面から、外装筒の外側に位置する、一対の垂下片を垂下設したキャップ体を有すること、一対の垂下片の下端部に操作片を連設すること、この操作片および操作片に対向する外装筒のいずれか一方に付設したヒンジ部を介して、上下方向に揺動可能に作用片を連設し、他方にこの作用片の先端部を係止する係止段部を設けること、容器体、装着体およびキャップ体を組付けた状態で、作用片を操作片から外装筒に斜め内側上方に傾斜した姿勢で保持すること、一対の操作片の容器体側への押圧により、注出ノズルを押し下げるように構成すること、にある。
【０００９】
請求項１の上記構成により、容器体の上端部に、上方から装着体を不動に外装組付けし、この装着体を跨ぐ姿勢でキャップ体を組み付けて注出容器の組み立てを完了するが、キャップ体の組み付けにより、装着体の開口部から突出した容器体の注出ノズルがキャップ体の段付き孔に密嵌入すると共に、操作片および外装筒のいずれか一方に連設した作用片は、その先端部を他方に設けた係止段部に係止し、操作片から外装筒に向けて斜め内側上方に傾斜した姿勢で保持される。
【００１０】
この状態から、容器を掴持した片手の親指と人指し指とで、注出容器の前後面に対向して位置する一対の操作片を摘むように押圧すると、操作片が注出容器の方向に変形するが、この際作用片がヒンジ部を支点とし傾斜した姿勢から、垂直な姿勢に回転すると共に、この姿勢の変化に伴なって作用片の長さの垂直方向成分が長くなり、その分キャップ体と装着体が相対的に上下動する。
【００１１】
装着体は容器体の上端部に不動に外装し、また注出ノズルを段付き孔に密嵌入させ、キャップ体を組み付ける構成であるので、上記キャップ体と装着体との相対的な上下動により、注出ノズルを押下げることができる。
【００１２】
注出ノズルが押し下げられると、容器体内の内容物が注出ノズルから噴出され、段付き孔から注出路を経て注出筒片内に進入し、注出口から外部に注出される。
【００１３】
上記した作用はヒンジ部を支点、作用片をリンク体、先端部と係止段部の係止部を作用点としたトグル状の作用機構を利用したものであり、一対の操作片の指先による押圧動作により、注出ノズルを容易にかつ、安定して押し下げることができる。
【００１４】
また、作用片の傾斜角度、操作片の容器体への移動量を適切に設計することにより、比較的弱い力でも容易に内容物を注出することができ、さらに注出量の微調整も可能となる。
【００１５】
注出容器の前後から一対の操作片を押圧する動作で、注出ノズルを押し下げるので、容器体の注出ノズルに対する押圧ブロックの姿勢が、内容物の注出時に変化することがなく、段付き孔に対する注出ノズルの姿勢を常に一定に保持することができ、これにより注出ノズルとの間の強固なシールを安定して保持することができる。
【００１６】
また、キャップ体の押圧ブロックは、両操作片が押圧されない限り、下降変位しないので、不本意に片方の操作片が押圧されたとしても下降変位せず、容器体の内容物を不都合に注出することがない。
【００１７】
請求項２記載の発明の手段は、請求項１記載の発明において、
左右に並列に隣接組合せた一対の容器体用いること、
外装筒がこの一対の容器体の上端部に外嵌し、装着体が一対の容器体の上端部に不動に外装すること、
押圧ブロックの下面に一対の段付き孔を開設し、注出筒片が形成する注出口とこの両段付き孔とを連通すること、
垂下片を、外装筒の前後面の中央部に対向する位置に垂下設する構成すること、
にある。
【００１８】
請求項２記載の上記構成は一対の容器体を用いたものであるが、両注出ノズルの押し下げ、すなわちキャップ体の押圧ブロックの引き下げは、この押圧ブロックの前後面の中央部から垂下設された両垂下片の容器体および装着体に対する相対的な引き下がりによって達成されるので、押圧ブロックは傾くことなく引き下げられ、段付き孔と注出ノズルとの間のシールを確実に保持することができる。
【００１９】
また、両注出ノズルは同時に開放操作されることになり、さらに注出筒片はその姿勢を傾動変化させることがない
【００２０】
また、両容器体の注出ノズルが等しく押し下げられ、注出ノズルが押し下げられると、両容器体内の内容物が注出ノズルから噴出され、両段付き孔から注出路を経て注出筒片内に進入し、ここで合流して注出容器から外部に注出される。
【００２１】
上記作用機構により、両容器体から吐出される内容物の量を常時一定にすることができ、使用者は特に意識することなく、常時適切な混合比で使用することができる。
【００２２】
請求項３記載の発明の手段は、請求項１または２の発明において、頂板の上面に一対のガイド片を立設し、押圧ブロックの一部に、このガイド片が上下に摺動変位自在に遊嵌する一対のガイド孔を開設すること、にある。
【００２３】
請求項３記載の上記構成により、装着体とキャップ体の相対的な上下方向の動作をより安定して達成することが可能となる。
【００２４】
請求項４記載の発明の手段は、請求項１、２または３の発明において、
下方に向かって外側に広げて、また外側および内側方向への弾性的な変形可能に一対の垂下片を垂下設し、この垂下片の下端部に、垂下片を延長して操作片を垂下設すること、
この操作片にヒンジ部を介して作用片を連設すること、
外装筒の外周面の下端部に横条を付設して、係止段部を形成すること、
にある。
【００２５】
請求項４記載の上記構成は、垂下片を下方に延長して操作片を形成し、この操作片にヒンジ部を介して作用片を連設するが、容器体に装着体とキャップ体を組付けた状態では、一対の垂下片を下方に向かって外側に広げた構成としているので、作用片は操作片から斜め内側上方に傾斜した姿勢となり、その先端部が外装筒の下端部に形成した係止段部に係止する。
【００２６】
この状態で、一対の操作片の容器体方向への押圧により、トグル状の作用効果により、作用片の先端部が、外装筒下端部の係止段部を押上げる作用効果を及ぼし、その結果として、注出ノズルが押し下げられる。
【００２７】
この際、先端部からは水平方向、すなわち容器体方向への力も作用するが、左右に並列に隣接組合せた一対の容器体を用いる場合においても、外装筒の下端部は、容器体の胴部に外嵌した状態であるので、外装筒の下端部の内側への変形を抑えることができる。
【００２８】
内容物の注出が終わって、操作片への押圧を解除すると、操作片は弾性により元の位置に戻る。またこの一対の操作片は弾性的に外側にも広げることができるのでキャップ体の組み付けを容易に実施することができる。
【００２９】
請求項５記載の発明の手段は、請求項１，２または３において、
下方に向かって外側に広げて、また外側および内側方向への弾性的な変形可能に一対の垂下片を垂下設し、この垂下片の下端部に、この垂下片を延長して操作片を垂下設すること、
この操作片に横条を付設して、係止段部を形成すること、
外装筒の下端部にヒンジ部を介して作用片を連設すること、
にある。
【００３０】
請求項５記載の上記構成は、請求項４の構成中、作用片と当接段差の設置場所を逆にしてそれぞれ外装筒下端部と操作片としたものであり、垂下片の下方に延長して操作片を形成し、外装筒の下端部にヒンジ部を介して作用片を連設するが、容器体に装着体とキャップ体を組付けた状態では、この作用片は外装筒下端部から斜め外側下方に傾斜した姿勢となり、その先端部が操作片に形成した係止段部に係止したものである。
【００３１】
この状態で、一対の操作片の容器体方向への押圧により、トグル状の作用機構により、操作片の当接段差から、作用片を介して外装筒を押し上げる作用効果を及ぼす。
【００３２】
請求項６記載の発明の手段は、請求項１、２または３記載の発明において、
外装筒の外表面に沿って垂下設した垂下片の略中央高さ位置から下端部にかけての部分に窓状の垂下片開口部を開設すること、
この垂下片の下端から斜め外側上方向に、外側および内側方向への弾性的な変形可能に操作片を連立設すること、
この操作片にヒンジ部を介して作用片を連設すること、
外装筒の外周面の下端部に横条を付設して、係止段部を形成すること、
にある。
【００３３】
請求項６記載の上記構成は、垂下片を外装筒の表面に沿って真直ぐ下方に垂下設し、この垂下片の下端から、斜め外側上方に操作片を連立設して、この操作片に作用片をヒンジ部を介して連設した構成であり、容器体に装着体とキャップ体を組付けた状態では、操作片を斜め外側上方に傾斜して立設しており、作用片は操作片から斜め内側上方に傾斜した姿勢となり、垂下片開口部をにおいて、その先端部が外装筒の下端部に形成した係止段部に係止する。
【００３４】
この状態で、一対の操作片の容器体方向への押圧により、請求項４と同様の作用効果により、注出ノズルが押し下げられる。
【００３５】
また内容物の注出が終わって、操作片への押圧を解除すると、操作片は弾性により元の位置に戻る。またこの一対の操作片は弾性的に外側にも広げることができるのでキャップ体の組み付けを容易に実施することができる。
【００３６】
請求項７記載の発明の手段は、請求項１、２または３記載の発明において、
外装筒の外表面に沿って垂下設した垂下片の略中央高さから下端部にかけての部分に窓状の垂下片開口部を開設すること、
この垂下片の下端から斜め外側上方向に、外側および内側方向への弾性的な変形可能に操作片を連立設すること、
この操作片に横条を付設して、係止段部を形成すること、
外装筒の下端部にヒンジ部を介して作用片を連設すること、
にある。
【００３７】
請求項７記載の上記構成は、請求項６の構成中、作用片と当接段差の設置場所を逆にしてそれぞれ外装筒下端部と操作片としたものであり、容器体に装着体とキャップ体を組付けた状態では、外装筒の下端部にヒンジを介して連設した作用片は、垂下開口部を通って斜め外側下方に傾斜した姿勢となり、その先端部が操作片に形成された係止段部に係止する。
【００３８】
この状態で、一対の操作片の容器体方向への押圧により、請求項５と略同様の作用効果により、注出ノズルが押し下げられる。
【００３９】
上述した請求項４、５、６または７記載の構成は、それぞれ操作片、作用片等の作用機能部を簡単な構造で達成することができ、かつ注出ノズルの押し下げの作用効果を確実に発揮することができる。
【００４０】
請求項８記載の発明の手段は、請求項１、２、３、４、５、６または７記載の発明において、容器体をエアゾール式容器とすること、にある。
【００４１】
請求項８記載の上記構成により、特に左右に並列に隣接組合せた一対の容器体を有するエアゾール式容器では、両操作片の押圧操作により容器体の注出ノズルが開状態となり、内容物が噴出、両段付き孔から注出路を経て注出筒片内に進入し、ここで合流して注出容器から外部に注出されるが、注出ノズルが押圧ブロックにより傾くことなく、また両容器体において等しく押し下げられるので、高圧で噴出するエアゾールにおいても充分なシール性を確保すると共に、両容器体の内容物の混合を均一に達成することが可能となる。
【００４２】
請求項９記載の発明の手段は、請求項１、２、３、４、５、６、７または８記載の発明において、キャップ体上に、塗布体を付設し、この塗布体上に容器体の内容物を注出する構成とすること、にある。
【００４３】
塗布体としては、たとえば櫛状あるいはブラシ状のもの等を使用することできるが、請求項９の上記構成により、容器体の内容物を直接このようなブラシあるいは櫛等の上に注出することができ、容易な操作で頭髪等へ塗布することが可能となり、特に一対の容器体を用いる場合には、両内容物を混合した状態で塗布体上に注出することができる。
【００４４】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明の第1実施例を、図面（図１〜図５）を参照しながら説明する。
容器体１はエアゾール式容器であり（図２、図３参照）、細長有底円筒状をした金属製本体の縮径した口部に、弁による開閉機能部を備えた注出ノズル３を有する金属製あるいは硬質樹脂製のキャップをカシメ固定して頭部２を形成し、注出ノズル３は、この頭部２上面に起立した状態となっている。
【００４５】
装着体１１は、並列に隣接配置された一対の容器体１の上端部に外嵌する長円筒状の外装筒１２の上端に、開口部１４を開設して内鍔状となった頂板１３を連設し、この頂板１３の下面の左右両端部に、容器体１の頭部２に外嵌して、頭部２直下の周溝部４にアンダーカット結合する、略半円弧筒片状の嵌着筒状片１５を垂下設すると共に、頂板１３の上面の開口部１４左右開口縁に、半円弧筒片状のガイド片１６を起立設している。
【００４６】
また、外装筒１２の外周面の下端部近傍の操作片３１に対向する位置に水平方向に略操作片３１の横幅分の長さの横条４５を付設して、係止段部４４を形成している。
【００４７】
キャップ体２１は、主として押圧ブロック２２と垂下片３０の部分から構成され、押圧ブロック２２は下面の左右両端部に、注出ノズル３が密嵌入して突き当たる段付き孔２３を開設すると共に、上面の中央に注出口２５を形成する注出筒片２４を起立設し、内部に両段付き孔２３と注出口２５とを連通する注出路２６を形成し、さらに左右両端部に、ガイド片１６が上下に摺動変位自在に遊嵌するガイド孔２８を形成している。
【００４８】
上記押圧ブロック２２の前後面の中央部から、頂壁２９を介して、外側および内側方向への弾性的な変形可能に、下方に向かって外側に広がるように、一対の垂下片３０を垂下設し、またこの垂下片３０を下方に延長して操作片３１を垂下連設する。たとえば、ポリプロピレン等の硬質樹脂を用い、頂壁２９の基端部等の形状を適切に設定することにより、上記のような弾性的な変形が可能となる。
【００４９】
操作片３１の外側の面には指での押圧動作が容易になるように、指当て部３３を形成しており、また内側の面の略中央高さ位置にヒンジ部４２を介して作用片４１を一体連立設している。
【００５０】
本第１実施例の容器体１、装着体１１、およびキャップ体２１の組み立てた状態および使用状態について説明する。
装着体１１は、並列に隣接配置された一対の容器体１に、上方から被嵌状に組み付けられ、両嵌着筒状片１５の下端部が容器体１の頭部２直下の周溝部４に係止することにより、強固にかつ不動に外嵌結合して組み付き、また注出ノズル３は開口部１４から突出した状態となる。
【００５１】
また、外装筒１２は長円筒状となっており、その下部は容器体１の胴部に略外接した状態となるが、前後壁の中央部分では両容器体１との間に、両容器体１の隣接部に形成される谷状部により、空間が形成される。
【００５２】
次に、一対の容器体１の両注出ノズル３が、一対の段付き孔２３に嵌入するように、また、ガイド片１６をガイド孔２８に入れながら、装着体１１の上方から跨ぐ様に、キャプ体２１を組み付けるが、垂下片３０は外側および内側方向に弾性変形可能であり、また作用片４１も上下方向への揺動が可能であるので、この組付けは容易に実施することができる。
【００５３】
垂下片３０あるいは操作片３１は外装筒１２の前後面の中央部に対向して位置し、作用片４１の先端部が４３が外装筒１２の下端部に形成された係止段部４４に係止し、操作片３１から外装筒１２側に斜め内側上方に傾斜した姿勢で保持される。
【００５４】
上記のように、容器体１に装着体１１、およびキャップ体２１を組付けた状態で、注出容器を手で掴持し、指先で一対の操作片３１を容器体１方向へ押圧することにより、トグル状の作用機構により、作用片４１の先端部４３が、外装筒１２の下端部の係止段部４４を押上げる作用効果を及ぼし、その結果として、注出ノズル３が押し下げられる。（図５参照）
【００５５】
この際、先端部４３からは水平方向、すなわち容器体１方向への力も作用するが、外装筒１２の前後壁の中央部分では、両容器体１との間に、空間が形成されているので、横条４５の、少なくとも両端が、外装筒１２が容器体１に外接する部分に位置することが好ましく、これにより外装筒１２の下端部の内側への変形を押さえることができ、注出ノズル３の押下げ操作を確実に達成することができる。
【００５６】
内容物の注出が終わって、操作片３１への押圧を解除すると、操作片３１は弾性により元の位置に戻ると共に、注出ノズル３が元の位置に戻り、閉の状態となる。
【００５７】
なお、本実施例の場合、押圧ブロック２２は、注出路２６の成形の都合から、上蓋状の本体部分と、この本体部分の下面側に密に嵌まり込み、一対の段付き孔２３を開設した下蓋板片２７とから構成されている。
【００５８】
また、注出筒片２４は短円筒状となっているが、この注出筒片２４の上方に、たとえば、図１５に示すような櫛体５０や、多数のブラシ片を立設したブラシ体等の塗布体を付設する構成とすることもできる。
【００５９】
図１５をさらに詳細に説明すると、櫛体５０は注出筒片２４を上方に延長し、上端部と略中央高さ位置に枠櫛片５２を付設した起立筒５１と、内部に櫛歯注出路５７と櫛歯注出口５８を有した複数の櫛歯片５５を連結体５４で一体にした櫛歯体部５３から構成され、この櫛歯体部５３は各櫛歯片５５の嵌入筒片５６が起立筒５１に形成された貫通孔５９に嵌入して起立筒５１に結合組付けされる。
【００６０】
一対の容器体１から噴出した内容物は押圧ブロック２２内で混合され、起立筒５１内、櫛歯注出路５７を流動し、櫛歯注出口５８から櫛歯片５５および枠櫛歯片５２上に注出される。
【００６１】
図６および図７は、本発明の注出容器の第2実施例を示したものである。
本実施例は、第1実施例とは逆に作用片４１を外装筒１２の下端部にヒンジ部４２を介して連設し、操作片の下端部に横条４５を付設し係止段部４４を形成したものであり、他の構成は第1実施例と同様である。
【００６２】
容器体１に装着体１１、およびキャップ体２１を組付けた状態で、作用片４１は外装筒１２の下端部から斜め外側下方に傾斜した姿勢となり、その先端部４３が操作片３１に形成した係止段部４４に係止する。
【００６３】
この状態で、注出容器を手で掴持し、指先で一対の操作片３１を容器体１方向へ押圧することにより、トグル状の作用機構により、操作片３１の係止段部４４から、作用片４１を介して外装筒１２が押し上げられる。
【００６４】
図８および図９は、本発明の注出容器の第3実施例であり、第1実施例に比較して、特にはキャプ体８の垂下片３０および操作片３１の形状を変えたものであり、垂下片３０を外装筒１２の外表面に沿って真直ぐ下に、第１実施例に比較してかなり下方まで垂下設しており、この垂下片３０の略中央高さ位置から下端部にかけての部分に窓状の垂下片開口部３２を開設している。
【００６５】
また、この垂下片３０の下端から斜め外側上方向に、外側および内側方向への弾性的な変形可能に操作片３１を連立設し、この操作片３１の略中央高さ位置にヒンジ部４２を介して作用片４１を連設し、外装筒１２の外周面の下端部に横条４５を付設して、係止段部４４を形成している。
【００６６】
容器体１に装着体１１、およびキャップ体２１を組付けた状態で、第１実施例同様、作用片４１の先端部が４３が、垂下片開口部３２の部分に位置した外装筒１２の係止段部４４に係止し、操作部３１から外装筒１２側に斜め内側上方に傾斜した姿勢で保持され、指先で一対の操作片３１を容器体１方向へ押圧することにより、第1実施例と同様の作用効果が発揮され、注出ノズル３を押下げることができ、操作片３１への押圧を解除すると、操作片は弾性により元の位置に戻る。
【００６７】
図１０および図１１は、本発明の注出容器の第４実施例を示したものである。本実施例は、第３実施例において他の構成は略同様に、作用片４１と横条４５の設置場所を逆にし、作用片４１を外装筒１２の下端部にヒンジ部４２を介して連設し、操作片の略中央高さ位置に横条４５を付設し係止段部４４を形成したものである。
【００６８】
容器体１に装着体１１、およびキャップ体２１を組付けた状態で、作用片４１は外装筒１２の下端部から、垂下片開口部３２を通って斜め外側下方に傾斜した姿勢となり、その先端部４３が操作片３１に形成した係止段部４４に係止し、指先で一対の操作片３１を容器体１方向へ押圧することにより、第３実施例と同様の作用効果が発揮され、注出ノズル３を押下げることができ、操作片３１への押圧を解除すると、操作片は弾性により元の位置に戻る。
【００６９】
以上第1、２、３または第４実施例は一対の容器体１を用いたものであり、いずれもその注出操作性は良好であるが、各部品の成形の難易度、製造コストあるいは製品の外観等の意匠性等を考慮して、これら実施例に限定されず、詳細な構成を選択することができる。
【００７０】
図１２、図１３および図１４は本発明の注出容器の第５実施例であり、１ケの容器体１を用いたものであり、段付き孔２３を１ケとし、外装筒１２は円筒状とするが、垂下片３０、操作片３１、作用片４１等の他の構成は略第１実施例の構成に準じたものとしている。
【００７１】
特に、エアゾール式容器を用いる場合、注出ノズル３を指で押すと、かなりの押下げ力を要し、またその押下げのストロークが短いため注出量の加減がし難いが、本実施例の注出容器では、キャップ体２１により押圧ブロック２２を介して注出ノズル３に押し下げ力を作用させることができ、比較的小さな力で、注出量を加減しながら内容物を注出させることが可能となり、本発明は一対の容器体１に限らず１ケの容器体１を用いても良好な注出性等の効果が発揮される。
【００７２】
【発明の効果】
本発明は、上記した構成となっているので、以下に示す効果を奏する。
請求項１記載の発明においては、ヒンジ部を支点、作用片をリンク体、先端部と係止段部の係止部を作用点としたトグル状の作用機構を利用したものであり、一対の操作片の指先による押圧動作により、注出ノズルを容易にかつ、安定して押し下げることができる。
【００７３】
また、作用片の傾斜角度、操作片の容器体への移動量を適切に設計することにより、比較的弱い力でも容易に内容物を注出することができ、さらに注出量の微調整も可能となる。
【００７４】
容器体の注出ノズルに対する押圧ブロックの姿勢が、内容物の注出時に変化することがなく、段付き孔に対する注出ノズルの姿勢を常に一定に保持することができ、これにより注出ノズルとの間の強固なシールを安定して保持することができる。
【００７５】
請求項２記載の発明においては、一対の容器体を用いたものであるが、押圧ブロックは傾くことなく引き下げられ、段付き孔と注出ノズルとの間のシールを確実に保持することができる。
【００７６】

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a dispensing container that ejects contents from a container having a dispensing nozzle by an easy operation, more specifically, a dispensing container that can push down the dispensing nozzle by a pressing operation that grips the body part by hand. It is about.
[0002]
[Prior art]
For example, it is of a type in which two kinds of contents are poured out together at the time of use, such as a certain hair dye, and the contents are individually stored in an aerosol container, and this pair of aerosols is used at the time of use. Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. Hei 4-10269 discloses a technique for ejecting contents from a type container at the same time and pouring the ejected contents together from one place.
[0003]
This prior art includes a pair of aerosol containers that contain contents, a bottomed storage case that stores the pair of aerosol containers adjacent in parallel, and a hinge that closes the upper end opening of the storage case. A guide member that is coupled and has a stepped hole on which the pouring nozzle of each aerosol container is tightly fitted and abutted on the lower surface, a discharge port on the upper surface, and a guide path that communicates both the stepped hole and the discharge port. And a movable cover in which a push lever that hangs down to the front lower side outside the storage case is connected to the front end of the storage case.
[0004]
In this prior art, the guide member is lowered and tilted around the hinge coupling portion by pressing the push lever toward the storage case with the finger of one hand holding the container, thereby a pair of aerosol containers. The dispensing nozzles are simultaneously pushed down and opened, and the contents of both aerosol containers are discharged together through the stepped holes, guide passages and discharge ports, so by a simple pressing operation on one push lever, An excellent effect of discharging the contents of the two aerosol containers at the same time and together, that is, in a state where they can be used as they are, is exhibited.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the above-described prior art, since it is necessary to hinge-connect the movable cover provided with the discharge port to the storage case, the assembly structure is not simple and the movable cover is tilted by the action of force on one side. Since the dispensing nozzle of the aerosol-type container is opened by the lowering, there is a possibility that the content may not be able to maintain an appropriate mixing ratio due to a change in the discharge balance.
[0006]
Similarly, there is a problem that it is difficult to secure a seal between the stepped hole of the movable cover and the dispensing nozzle because the dispensing nozzle of the aerosol-type container is opened by tilting down the movable cover.
[0007]
Therefore, the present invention was devised to solve the above-described problems in the prior art, and had a dispensing nozzle such as an aerosol-type container or a pump-type container by operating the fingertip of one hand holding the container. The technical challenge is to easily and stably displace the part that pushes down the dispensing nozzle of the container, so that the posture of the part where the contents are dispensed is made constant, and the seal is strong and stable. The purpose is to obtain a pouring container having better and safe handling.
[0008]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
Among the present invention for solving the above technical problems, the means of the invention according to claim 1 is characterized in that a pouring nozzle having an opening / closing function is erected at the center of the upper surface of the head, and the content is obtained by pushing down the pouring nozzle. pouring to have capable container body, the center of the top plate that is continuously provided on the upper end of the outer cylinder fitted around the trunk portion of the container body, by opening an opening in which the dispensing nozzle is projected structure of The upper end of the container body has a stationary mounting body, a stepped hole in which the pouring nozzle closely fits and abuts is opened on the lower surface, and a pouring cylinder piece is erected in the center of the upper surface. A pair of drooping pieces, each having a pressing block formed inside with a pouring passage for communicating a spout formed by the pouring cylinder piece and a stepped hole, and located outside the outer cylinder from the front and rear surfaces of the pressing block A cap body that is suspended from the bottom end of the pair of suspension pieces. An operation piece is connected in series so as to be swingable in the vertical direction through a hinge portion attached to either one of the operation piece and the outer cylinder facing the operation piece. By providing a locking step for locking the tip of the piece, the container body, the mounting body, and the cap body are assembled, and the action piece is held in a posture inclined obliquely inward and upward from the operation piece to the exterior cylinder. That is, it is configured to push down the dispensing nozzle by pressing the pair of operation pieces toward the container body.
[0009]
According to the configuration of claim 1, the mounting body is fixedly mounted on the upper end of the container body from above, and the cap body is assembled in a posture straddling the mounting body to complete the assembly of the dispensing container. As a result of the assembly of the body, the container body pouring nozzle protruding from the opening of the mounting body is closely fitted into the stepped hole of the cap body, and the action piece continuously connected to either the operation piece or the outer cylinder is The distal end is locked to a locking step provided on the other side, and is held in a posture inclined obliquely inward and upward from the operation piece toward the exterior cylinder.
[0010]
From this state, when the pair of operation pieces positioned opposite the front and rear surfaces of the extraction container are pressed with the thumb and index finger of one hand holding the container, the operation piece is deformed in the direction of the extraction container. However, at this time, the action piece rotates from a tilted posture with the hinge portion as a fulcrum to a vertical posture, and the vertical component of the length of the action piece becomes longer with the change of the posture, and the cap body accordingly. The mounted body moves up and down relatively.
[0011]
The mounting body is fixedly mounted on the upper end of the container body, and the pouring nozzle is fitted into the stepped hole so that the cap body is assembled. The pouring nozzle can be pushed down.
[0012]
When the extraction nozzle is pushed down, the contents in the container are ejected from the extraction nozzle, enter the extraction cylinder piece through the extraction hole from the stepped hole, and are extracted from the extraction outlet to the outside.
[0013]
The above-described action utilizes a toggle-like action mechanism with the hinge part as a fulcrum, the action piece as a link body, and the engagement part between the tip and the locking step as an action point. By the pressing operation, the dispensing nozzle can be pushed down easily and stably.
[0014]
In addition, by appropriately designing the inclination angle of the action piece and the amount of movement of the operation piece to the container body, the contents can be easily poured out even with a relatively weak force, and fine adjustment of the dispensing amount can also be performed. It becomes possible.
[0015]
The operation of pressing a pair of operation pieces from the front and back of the dispensing container pushes down the dispensing nozzle, so the posture of the pressure block relative to the dispensing nozzle of the container body does not change when the contents are dispensed, and there is a step. The posture of the pouring nozzle with respect to the hole can be kept constant at all times, whereby a strong seal with the pouring nozzle can be stably held.
[0016]
In addition, since the pressing block of the cap body does not move downward unless both operating pieces are pressed, even if one operating piece is inadvertently pressed, it does not move downward, and the contents of the container body are poured out inconveniently. There is nothing to do.

In the present embodiment, the configuration of the working piece 41 and the horizontal strip 45 is reversed, and the working piece 41 is connected to the lower end portion of the outer cylinder 12 via the hinge portion 42 in the same manner as in the third embodiment. And a locking step 44 is formed by attaching a horizontal strip 45 at a substantially central height position of the operation piece.
[0068]
In a state in which the mounting body 11 and the cap body 21 are assembled to the container body 1, the action piece 41 is inclined obliquely outward and downward from the lower end portion of the outer tube 12 through the drooping piece opening 32, and its tip The portion 43 is locked to the locking step portion 44 formed on the operation piece 31 and the pair of operation pieces 31 are pressed toward the container body 1 with the fingertips, thereby exhibiting the same effects as the third embodiment. When the dispensing nozzle 3 can be pushed down and the pressure on the operation piece 31 is released, the operation piece returns to its original position due to elasticity.
[0069]
As described above, the first, second, third, or fourth embodiment uses a pair of container bodies 1 and all have good pouring operability. However, the difficulty of molding each part, manufacturing cost, or product In consideration of the design and the like such as the appearance, the present invention is not limited to these examples, and a detailed configuration can be selected.
[0070]
FIGS. 12, 13 and 14 show a fifth embodiment of the pouring container of the present invention, which uses one container body 1, has one stepped hole 23, and the outer cylinder 12 is a cylinder. However, other configurations such as the hanging piece 30, the operation piece 31, and the action piece 41 are substantially the same as those of the first embodiment.
[0071]
In particular, when an aerosol-type container is used, if the dispensing nozzle 3 is pushed with a finger, a considerable pushing force is required, and since the pushing stroke is short, it is difficult to adjust the dispensing amount. In the pour container, the cap body 21 can apply a push-down force to the pour nozzle 3 via the pressing block 22, and pours the contents while adjusting the pour amount with a relatively small force. Thus, the present invention is not limited to the pair of container bodies 1 and even if one container body 1 is used, effects such as good dispensing properties are exhibited.
[0072]
【The invention's effect】
Since the present invention has the above-described configuration, the following effects can be obtained.
In the first aspect of the present invention, a toggle-like action mechanism is used in which the hinge portion is the fulcrum, the action piece is the link body, and the engagement portion between the tip and the engagement step portion is the action point. The dispensing nozzle can be pushed down easily and stably by the pressing operation of the operation piece with the fingertip.
[0073]
In addition, by appropriately designing the inclination angle of the action piece and the amount of movement of the operation piece to the container body, the contents can be easily poured out even with a relatively weak force, and fine adjustment of the dispensing amount can also be performed. It becomes possible.
[0074]
The posture of the pressing block with respect to the dispensing nozzle of the container body does not change when the contents are poured out, and the posture of the dispensing nozzle with respect to the stepped hole can always be kept constant. A strong seal between the two can be stably held.
[0075]
In the invention described in claim 2, although the pair of container bodies is used, the pressing block is pulled down without being inclined, and the seal between the stepped hole and the dispensing nozzle can be reliably held. .
[0076]
In addition, since both the pouring nozzles are opened simultaneously and the pouring cylinder piece does not change its tilt, the pouring nozzles of both the container bodies are pushed down equally and discharged from both container bodies. The amount of content to be kept can be made constant at all times, and the user can always use it at an appropriate mixing ratio without being particularly conscious.
[0077]
In the invention according to claim 3, the relative vertical movement of the mounting body and the cap body can be more stably achieved by the guide hole and the guide piece without inclining.
[0078]
In the invention of claim 4, 5, 6 or 7, the operation function parts such as the operation piece and the action piece can be achieved with a simple structure, and the action and effect of pushing down the pouring nozzle can be surely exhibited. can do.
[0079]
In the invention of claim 8, it is possible to provide an aerosol-type dispensing container capable of ensuring sufficient sealing performance even at high pressure and capable of achieving uniform mixing of the contents of both containers. The contents can be dispensed with a relatively small force while adjusting the amount dispensed.
[0080]
In the invention described in claim 9, the contents of the container body can be directly poured onto an application body such as a brush or a comb, and can be applied to the hair or the like by an easy operation. Can be poured out in the form of a brush with both contents mixed.
