A peripheral wall portion formed so as to be loosened, and the peripheral wall portion is covered with the lid member from the outer peripheral side when the lid member is screwed to the mouth portion, It is characterized by fitting .

The exterior container of this invention protects the tube container hold | maintained inside, and is used as a container which extrudes the content in a tube container. As an exterior container of the present invention, for example, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 and the like, a pair of halves are combined so as to surround the outside of the main body of the tube container held inside the exterior container. Is formed.
The halved body constituting the exterior container includes an opening and a tongue piece, and the tongue piece is connected to the lower portion of the opening and is disposed in the opening (for example, see FIG. 6 and the like).

  One opening is formed in each halved body so that the tongue piece is disposed inside, and one opening piece connected to the lower part of the opening portion is provided. Further, the position, size, shape, and the like of the opening are not particularly limited. For example, as an opening part, the form provided in the center part of a half body along the external shape of a half body is mentioned (for example, refer FIG. 6, FIG. 10, etc.).

The tongue pieces are formed so as to be able to press the tube container main body, and are provided to face each other so that the distance between the tongue pieces is widened toward the mouth side of the tube container. And the tongue piece is provided so as to be opposed to the holding portion for fixing the flat portion side which is a flat shape on one end side of the tube container, so as to spread from the flat portion side to the mouth side of the tube container. A pressing plate portion. The clamping part provided in the tongue piece is provided so as to fix the flat part side of the tube container so as to be sandwiched from both sides.
That is, the clamping part in this invention can clamp the flat part side of the tube container hold | maintained in an exterior container, and can fix the lower part of a tube container (for example, refer FIG. 4 etc.). Further, the pressing plate portion constitutes a part of the tongue piece and is formed so as to be able to press the tube container main body (for example, see FIG. 4 and the like).

  The size, shape and the like of the tongue piece are not particularly limited. For example, the shape of the tongue piece includes a shape having a bent lower portion (L-shape) and a sandwiching portion and a pressing plate portion (see, for example, FIGS. 4 and 10). The bent portion of the tongue piece forms a sandwiching portion, and the two halves are combined so that the sandwiching portion that is the bent portion has a planar shape on one end side of the tube container from both sides. It can be fixed so as to be pinched.

Moreover, as a press board part formed in a tongue piece, it extends toward the opening | mouth part side which is the other end side of a tube container from a clamping part, and can be provided in a cantilever shape by a clamping part. And a press plate part is formed in V shape by the press plate part with which the other half is provided, and each press plate part spreads as it goes to the mouth part side from the plane part side of a tube container. (See, for example, FIG. 4 and FIG. 7). And the two press plate parts with which an exterior container is provided are formed so that it can be bent by press, and one side and the other side of a tube container main part are two sheets by pressing two press board parts. The contents of the tube container are discharged under pressure by being sandwiched between the pressing plate portions. In this case, the clamping part that is in contact with and fixed to the lower part of the flat part of the tube container serves as a fulcrum of the pressing plate part and presses the tube container main body, so that the contents in the tube container are discharged efficiently. Can be made.
In addition, the shape of the tongue piece including the pressing plate portion is connected to the lower portion of the opening and can be shaped along the shape of the opening. However, the size and shape of the tube container main body can be pressed. (For example, see FIG. 3 etc.).
