Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a container in which two containers containing different types of internal solutions are combined.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Two containers containing two internal solutions, such as shampoos and rinses, or liquid detergents and liquid bleaches, and even selected baths, are always placed next to each other, and each container is individually The trouble of taking out etc. can be saved, and both containers can be made easy to handle smoothly. In order to satisfy this demand, there has been proposed a combined container in which two containers containing two kinds of internal solutions are integrally fixed by means such as adhesion.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the above combined container, the two containers are fixed together, so when using one inner solution, the container containing the other content liquid not used must be handled at the same time. There is a problem that is bad.
[0004]
In addition, when one inner solution is used up faster than the other, a new container containing the used inner solution is prepared, and this new container and the container from before the other inner solution remains There is a problem that the inconvenience of handling the two occurs.
[0005]
Therefore, the present invention was devised to solve the above-described problems, and includes two containers, and can handle both containers integrally when not in use, and can individually handle each container when used. An object of the present invention is to provide an easy-to-use synthetic resin united container.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
Among the present invention for solving the above-mentioned problems, the means of the invention according to claim 1 is:
Each having a shoulder at the upper end of each cylinder and having a bottomed cylindrical first container and a second container with a top cylindrical cap attached to an extraction cylinder standing upright on the shoulder;
Opening an opening through which both caps are inserted, removably assembled to the upper end of both barrels, and having a cover body that adjoins the first container and the second container;
At the lower end of both barrels, the first container and the second container can be easily separated and assembled, and the first container and the second container are adjacently connected.
It is in.
[0007]
In the invention according to claim 1, since the first container and the second container are adjacently coupled to each other by the cover body and the hook body at the upper end and the lower end of the barrels of both containers, Can be stably integrated, and the labor of carrying both containers separately can be saved, and the convenience can be improved because both containers can be used smoothly and easily.
[0008]
When using the contents liquid, remove the cover from the upper end and tilt one container upside down or pull it up to separate it from the other container. The two separated containers are integrated by adjoining the separated container with the other container and then assembling the cover body to the upper end.
[0009]
In addition, since each container can be individually attached and detached as described above, for example, when the inner solution in the first container is used up earlier than the inner solution in the second container, by replacing only the first container, Two types of internal solutions can be prepared for use.
[0010]
According to the second aspect of the present invention, in the configuration of the first aspect, the first chamber and the second chamber in which the lower end portion of each cylinder is individually fitted and assembled so as to be easily removable can be formed adjacent to each other. The fact that the Hakama body was constructed was added.
[0011]
According to the second aspect of the present invention, the structure of the hakama body can be made very simple, and the sitting of the container that remains separated and is maintained in a stable state.
[0012]
According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the configuration of the first aspect of the invention, the first and second hook pieces, which are individually assembled to the lower end of each barrel, are detachable in the vertical direction. It is the addition of the fact that a concatenated body is formed by adjoining.
[0013]
In the invention according to claim 3, when both the containers are relatively moved in the vertical direction with the cover body removed, the first hack piece and the second hack piece are removed from each other. The parts are separated in the state of light equipment in which the first and second pieces are assembled to each part, and the state becomes suitable for use.
[0014]
Further, in a state where the cover body is assembled, the two relative movements of the two containers are restricted by the cover body, so that a stable coupled state is maintained.
[0015]
According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in the configuration of the first or second aspect of the present invention, a part of the side surfaces of each cylinder is formed on a contact surface capable of surface contact, and the first container and the second container are It is the thing which made it contact and contact on the contact surface.
[0016]
In the invention described in claim 4, since both containers are adjacent to each other in surface contact, it is possible to reduce the occupied volume of the combined container, and a large number can be efficiently displayed on a display shelf or the like at the storefront. Each home can be stored compactly in a storage shelf or the like.
[0017]
According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, in the configuration of the third aspect of the invention, a part of the side surfaces of each cylinder is formed as a contact surface that can be brought into surface contact, and a concave portion is provided in one lower portion of both contact surfaces. Then, in the second hack piece that is assembled to one of the cylinders that are provided with this depression, a connecting depression that communicates with the depression is provided, and the first hack piece that is assembled to the other cylinder is inserted into the depression, A connecting protrusion that detachably engages with the connecting recess in the up-and-down direction is provided, and the first container and the second container are brought into contact with each other on both contact surfaces to be adjacent to each other.
[0018]
In the invention according to claim 5, the separation of both containers can be easily achieved by the configuration comprising the connecting protrusion protruding from the first hook piece and the connecting recess recessed at the second hook piece. In addition, by providing a recess into which the connecting protrusion can enter at the lower part of the contact surface of the barrel of the second container, both containers are adjacent to each other without being obstructed by the connecting protrusion. be able to.
[0019]
A sixth aspect of the present invention is the same as that of the first, second, third, fourth or fifth aspect of the present invention, wherein the cover body has a planar shape with both upper end portions in a state where the first container and the second container are adjacent to each other. And the same shape as the outer shape formed by both lower ends in the state where the first container and the second container are adjacent to each other. .
[0020]
In the invention of claim 6, the appearance of the united container is simple and neatly arranged adjacent to each other in a compact manner while the upper and lower ends of the barrel are bordered by the cover body and the hook body, respectively. It can be expected to make viewers feel functional beauty.
[0021]
According to the seventh aspect of the present invention, in the configuration of the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, or sixth aspect, the cap is fitted on at least one of the caps on the inner peripheral edge of the cover body that forms the opening. This is the addition of the fact that the measuring cup is integrated.
[0022]
In the invention of claim 7, when it is desired to measure and use the liquid content, the measuring cup integrated with the removed cover body can be used simply and without preparing a separate measuring tool. Weighing can be done quickly.
[0023]
