Two circular holes and a hole for projecting the lower end of the operation rod 8 are formed.

  Further, a semicircular cutout 23 is formed on the surface opposite to the surface on which the cutout 17 or the like is formed, and a hole for projecting the upper end of the operation rod 8 is formed when the lid body 12 is closed. In addition, two support portions 25 that rotatably support the operating arm 10 by the support shaft 27 are provided on the surface where the notch 23 is formed.

  On the inner surface of the parallel opposing wall of the main body portion 14, a serrated engagement uneven portion 5 that is gently inclined in one direction is formed.

  The operation rod 8 is housed in the notch 23 of the storage container 4 and is assembled to the center of the storage container 4 so as to be slidable in the vertical direction. On the side surface of the operation rod 8, there is provided a feed uneven portion 9 made of continuous protrusions gently inclined in one direction. A spring 29 is assembled between the operating rod 8 and the storage container 4, and the operating rod 8 is urged toward the notch 23 by the spring 29.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the throttle member 6 includes a throttle hole 7 that squeezes the body 54 at the center, and engagement pieces 11 are provided on both sides of the throttle member 6. The throttle hole 7 is formed so that the interval gradually decreases in one direction. When the sealing portion of the tube container 50 is inserted from the wide side and advanced toward the mouth portion 52 side of the tube container 50, the body portion 54 is formed. Press to squeeze out the contents.

  The engaging pieces 11 are inclined so as to open outward, and are engaged with the engaging uneven portions 5 and the feeding uneven portions 9 with elasticity. The engaging piece 11 engaged with the engaging uneven portion 5 moves in the direction of the mouth portion 52 of the tube container 50, but does not move in the opposite direction and does not move.

  Further, the engaging piece 11 and the feeding uneven portion 9 are engaged when the operating rod 8 is moved in the direction of the mouth portion 52 of the tube container 50, and the throttle member 6 is moved to the mouth portion 52 side of the tube container 50. When the operating rod 8 moves in the direction opposite to the mouth portion 52 of the tube container 50, the engagement is released.

When the two tube containers 50 are respectively disposed in the main body portion 14, the lid body 12 is closed and the lid body 12 is stopped by the engaging member 30.

  In order to take out the contents of the tube container 50 from the tube container squeezer 2, the cap 60 is removed from the mouth part 51, and the inner plug that closes the mouth part 51 using the projection 61 provided on the outer side of the cap 60. (Not shown) is opened.

  When both the tube containers 50 are opened, for example, the storage container 4 is placed on the hand, and the operating arm 10 is pushed down with the thumb and rotated. Then, as shown in FIG. 3, the protrusion 15 pushes the upper end of the operating rod 8 into the storage container 4, and the throttle member 6 is moved in the direction of the mouth 52 of the tube container 50. Since the tube container 50 is inserted into the throttle hole 7 of the throttle member 6, the body portion 54 is squeezed, and the contents are squeezed out from the mouth portions 52 of the two tube containers 50.

  When the operating arm 10 is released, the operating rod 8 moves in the direction opposite to the mouth portion 52 of the tube container 50 by the repulsive force of the spring 29. Although the operating rod 8 is moved in the direction opposite to the mouth 52 by the ratchet mechanism with respect to the diaphragm member 6, the position of the diaphragm member 6 is maintained because the diaphragm member 6 is engaged with the engaging uneven portion 5 and does not move. FIG. 4 shows a state where the throttle member 6 is in the middle position of the storage container 4. When the operating arm 10 is rotated from this state and the operating rod 8 is pushed in, the throttle member 6 is pushed down from that position, the tube container 50 is squeezed, and the contents are further squeezed out.

  Since the two squeezing members 6 are pushed down simultaneously by the operating rod 8, the two tube containers 50 are simultaneously squeezed by the same distance. As a result, the contents are always squeezed out from the two tube containers 50 at a constant ratio at the same time. It is.

  After squeezing out the predetermined contents, the cap 60 can be tightened and stored, and when the contents are squeezed to the end, the tube container 50 is removed from the storage container 4 together with the squeezing member 6, and the squeezing member is added to two new tube containers 50. 6 is assembled and loaded into the storage container 4.

  FIG. 7 shows another example of the tube container restrictor.
