[0023]
Next, usage modes and operational effects of the storage case of the present invention will be described.
The storage case of the present invention is used to allow two different types of liquids to be poured out for beverages, cosmetics, hairdressing, etc., and different contents liquids are stored in the containers Aa and Ab.
The storage case is assembled by first attaching the two containers to the case base B, and then attaching the case cover E with the operation cover F attached to the case base B.
[0024]
In attaching the container A to the case base B, in FIG. 2, holding the knob 43 of the mounting member C and rotating it to the right, and joining the knob 43 to the right end of the notch 38, the mounting member C is Therefore, the containers Aa and Ab are pushed in with the straight line portion 7 of the body 3 of the container A inside.
[0025]
At that time, the locking projections 6 of the mouth tube portion 1 of the two containers Aa and Ab are located on the long-diameter direction line and are not obstructed by the engaging projection 42 of the mounting member C. It can be fitted to the outer periphery of the mounting ring 34.
Next, when the knob 43 of the mounting member C is rotated leftward and joined to the left end of the notch 38, the mounting member C is positioned at the closed position, and the engaging projection 42 is engaged with the locking projection 6 of the mouth tube portion 1. The containers Aa and Ab can be firmly fastened by engaging with the lower surface of the container.
[0026]
Next, when the locking member D is fitted to the fitting portion 11 of the bottom 4 of the two containers A, the protrusion 50 provided on the pressing piece 49 of the locking member D is engaged with the engagement protrusion of the fitting portion 11. 13 to engage the two containers together.
[0027]
When the case cover E is fitted, the bulging ring 69 at the lower end of the side peripheral wall 60 engages the lower surface of the peripheral edge of the upper wall 15 of the case base B, and the lower ends 66 of the ribs 63a, b, 64a, b are The side peripheral wall 60 is joined to the step portion 36, and the case cover E is firmly fitted to the case base B.
[0028]
When using the storage case, as shown in FIG. 11, when the operation cover F is opened to one side, one open / close cylinder 23 is raised upward by the compression spring 30 and protrudes from the cover 75 of the operation cover F. 24 pouring holes 29 are opened.
At that time, the engagement ring 31 of the inner cylinder 27 engages with the locking ring 22 of the extraction cylinder 17, and the opening / closing cylinder 23 is positioned at the highest position.
[0029]
Next, when the content liquid is poured out, the content liquid is poured out from the pouring hole 29 when the housing case is shaken or the body part 3 is pressed with the pouring hole 29 of the open / close cylinder 23 in the desired direction. be able to.
When it is desired to pour out the other content liquid, when the operation cover F is rotated in the opposite direction, the open / close cylinder 23 of the other container is raised, and the content liquid can be poured out in the same manner.
[0030]
When the content liquid is used up, when the lower end of the pressing piece 49 of the locking member D is pressed, the pressing piece 49 rotates around the connecting portion 48, and the engagement protrusions 13 of the containers Aa and Ab and the locking member The protrusion 50 of D is removed, and the locking member D can be easily removed.
[0031]
Next, when the knob 43 of the mounting member D is grasped and rotated to the open / close position, the engaging protrusion 42 is detached from the locking protrusion 6 of the container A, and when the container A is pulled down, the container A can be removed from the case base B. it can.
Then, as described above, the new container can be used again as a case in which the two containers are joined by being attached to the case substrate B.
[0032]
In the embodiment, the attachment member for attaching the container to the case base is used to attach a container having a specific shape to the case base. However, as an attachment member for attaching the dispensing member to a conventionally known container. Can be adopted.
As in the case of the embodiment, the container is provided with an engaging protrusion on the mouth tube portion, and the body has a circular or elliptical shape, and is joined to the top surface of the mouth tube portion instead of the upper wall of the embodiment. Using an annular plate, an attachment ring having an engagement ring at the lower end is suspended from the outer peripheral edge of the annular plate, and an extraction tube and other extraction members are erected along the inner peripheral edge of the annular plate.
[0033]
As an attachment member, an attachment member having the same configuration as that of the above embodiment is used. The attachment member is rotatably attached to the attachment ring, and is rotated with a knob so that the engagement protrusion of the mouth tube portion and the attachment member are engaged. The mating protrusion can be engaged and disengaged, and the container and the dispensing member can be attached and detached.
[0034]
【The invention's effect】
Since this invention is comprised as mentioned above, there exists the following effect.
A pour cylinder with an open / close cylinder biased upward is erected on the case base with two containers attached, and the top wall of the open / close cylinder is opened and closed by an operation cover attached to the case cover. Therefore, the content liquid can be poured out from a desired container by opening and closing the pouring hole of the open / close cylinder.
[0035]
Further, since the two containers can be attached to and detached from the case base by using the container attachment member, the container can be easily replaced when the content liquid is used up.
