Utility Model Registration No. 2553493

  However, in the above-described conventional application container, the overcap can be removed simply by relatively rotating the overcap and the container around the cap axis, so that the child can easily remove the overcap. For this reason, an overcap may be removed carelessly.

  The present invention has been made in consideration of the above-described conventional problems, and an object thereof is to provide an application container that can prevent an overcap from being inadvertently removed.

  An application container according to the present invention includes a container in which the contents are stored, an application member that is attached to the mouth of the container and causes the contents in the container to flow out, and an overcap that covers the application member. The overcap is provided with an inner cap screwed into the mouth portion, and is attached to the inner cap and relatively to the inner cap in the axial direction of the cap. An outer cap that can be pushed down, and a biasing member that biases the outer cap upward at least when the outer cap is pushed down, and the coating surface of the coating member extends in the cap axial direction. In addition, a flow hole communicating with the inside of the container is formed, and an application stopper that projects upward from above the application surface and closes the flow hole is biased upward inside the flow hole. The outer cap is inserted into the outer cap in such a manner that the outer cap is pushed down to push down the application plug to open the flow hole, and the first cap provided in the inner cap. A second engagement portion that is disposed above the joint portion and that engages the first engagement portion from the direction around the cap axis when the outer cap is pushed down. It is characterized by.

With such a feature, in a state before use, the second engagement portion provided on the outer cap is disposed above the first engagement portion provided on the inner cap. As a result, the first engagement portion and the second engagement portion are not engaged with each other. Therefore, even if the outer cap rotates around the cap axis, the inner cap does not rotate, and the inner cap screwed into the mouth portion does not rotate. I can't loosen it. That is, the overcap cannot be removed simply by rotating the outer cap.
On the other hand, in use, first, the outer cap is pushed down in the cap axial direction. Thereby, the 2nd engaging part provided in the outer cap can be engaged with the first engaging part provided in the inner cap. Subsequently, the outer cap is rotated around the cap axis while being pushed down. At this time, since the second engaging portion of the outer cap is engaged with the first engaging portion of the inner cap, the inner cap rotates about the cap axis together with the outer cap. As a result, the inner cap screwed to the mouth is loosened, and the overcap is removed from the mouth.
When the overcap is removed from the mouth, the outer cap is urged upward by the urging member, and the outer cap is pushed up relative to the inner cap. Thereby, the 2nd engaging part of an outer cap is arrange | positioned above the 1st engaging part of an inner cap, and a 1st engaging part and a 2nd engaging part return to the state which is not mutually engaged.
Furthermore, after removing the overcap, the application surface of the application member is pressed against the application surface, so that the application plug protruding from the flow hole is pushed into the container inward by the application surface. Thereby, the flow hole is opened, and the internal solution in the container is discharged through the flow hole and applied to the surface to be coated. At this time, for example, when highly volatile contents are contained in the container, or when the internal pressure of the container rises due to the container being exposed to high temperature, there is a possibility that more contents than necessary may be ejected during application, In the application container according to the present invention, even when the internal pressure of the container is increased, when the outer cap is pushed down in the cap axial direction, the pressing part is lowered together with the outer cap, and the pressing part pushes the application plug downward. As a result, the flow hole is opened, so that the pressure in the container is released from the flow hole and the internal pressure of the container is lowered.

  Further, in the application container according to the present invention, the inner cap is provided with a third engagement portion via a connecting portion that is elastically deformable in the cap radial direction, and the outer cap is provided with the inner cap with respect to the mouth portion. The third engagement portion is engaged with the third engagement portion from the rear side in the tightening direction, and the connection portion is elastically deformed in the cap radial direction, whereby the third engagement portion is formed from the rear side in the loosening direction of the inner cap with respect to the mouth portion. It is preferable that the 4th engaging part which passes a joint part is provided.

Thereby, after use, the overcap is put on the mouth, and then the outer cap is rotated about the cap axis in the same direction as the inner cap is tightened with respect to the mouth. At this time, the fourth engagement portion provided on the outer cap is engaged with the third engagement portion provided on the inner cap from the rear side in the tightening direction of the inner cap. The inner cap rotates in the tightening direction. As a result, the inner cap is tightened and screwed into the mouth, and the overcap is attached to the mouth. That is, the overcap is attached to the mouth by simply rotating the outer cap without pushing down the outer cap.
On the other hand, when removing the overcap 4, when the outer cap is rotated in the same direction as the loosening direction of the inner cap with respect to the mouth, the fourth engagement portion of the outer cap contacts the third engagement portion of the inner cap. The connecting portion is elastically deformed in the cap radial direction, and the fourth engaging portion passes around the third engaging portion from the rear side in the loosening direction and moves around the cap axis. Therefore, even if the outer cap is rotated in the loosening direction, the inner cap does not rotate, and the inner cap screwed into the mouth cannot be loosened. That is, the overcap cannot be removed simply by rotating the outer cap.

  According to the application container of the present invention, in order to remove the overcap, it is necessary to rotate while pushing down the outer cap. Since the overcap cannot be removed by simply rotating the outer cap, the overcap is removed carelessly. Can be prevented.

At this time, the lower end portion of the second engagement portion 23 of the outer cap 20 abuts on the upper end portion of the engagement surface 15a of the first engagement portion 15 of the inner cap 10, and the second engagement portion 23 is in the first engagement. Since it is engaged with the portion 15 from the rear side in the loosening direction, the outer cap 20 rotates to the other side in the circumferential direction and the inner cap 10 rotates to the other side in the circumferential direction. Thereby, the inner cap 10 screwed into the mouth portion 2a is loosened, and the overcap 4 is removed from the mouth portion 2a.

  Further, when the inner cap 10 screwed into the mouth portion 2a is loosened, the inner cap 10 rises relatively with respect to the mouth portion 2a, so that the lower surface (convex portion 14d) of the distal end wall portion 14 of the inner cap 10 Is separated from the application surface 50 of the flow tube 5, and the seal between the lower surface of the tip wall portion 14 and the application surface 50 of the flow tube 5 is released. On the other hand, as described above, the flow hole 51 is opened by the outer cap 20 being pushed down. Therefore, even if the internal pressure of the container 2 rises, the pressure in the container 2 is applied from the flow hole 51 into the recess 14 a of the tip wall portion 14, the lower surface of the tip wall portion 14, and the application surface of the flow tube 5. 50, a gap between the outer peripheral surface of the flow tube 5 and the inner peripheral surface of the rising tube portion 13, a gap between the upper surface of the flange portion 52 of the flow tube 5 and the lower surface of the top wall portion 11 of the inner cap 10, and a mouth It passes through the gap between the male screw 2b of the portion 2a and the female screw 12a of the peripheral wall portion 12 of the inner cap 10, and comes out of the container 2. Thereby, the internal pressure of the container 2 falls and the internal pressure of the container 2 becomes substantially equal to the external pressure.

  Further, as the inner cap 10 screwed into the mouth portion 2a is loosened, the outer cap 20 moves upward relative to the mouth portion 2a and the push-down portion 25 rises. 6 is released, and the application plug 6 is urged upward by the elastic force (restoring force) of the first urging member 8 to be pushed up. Thereby, when the overcap 4 is removed from the mouth part 2a, the upper part of the application plug 6 (insertion part 61) is protruded above the application surface 50 from the upper opening part of the flow hole 51.

  When the overcap 4 is removed from the mouth portion 2 a, the outer cap 20 is biased upward by the second biasing member 30, and the outer cap 20 is pushed up relative to the inner cap 10. That is, the outer cap 20 moves axially upward relative to the inner cap 10 by the elastic force (restoring force) of the elastically deformed wall portion 31 and returns to the original position before being pushed down. As a result, the second engagement portion 23 of the outer cap 20 is disposed above the first engagement portion 15 of the inner cap 10, and the first engagement portion 15 and the second engagement portion 23 are not engaged with each other. It becomes.

Next, the contents in the container 2 are applied to the application surface by the applying member 3. More specifically, after removing the overcap 4 from the mouth 2a, the container 2 is tilted and the application surface 50 of the application member 3 is pressed against the surface to be applied. As a result, the distal end surface of the application plug 6 (insertion portion 61) is pressed against the application surface, the first urging member 8 is elastically compressed, and the application plug 6 is pushed into the inner side of the container 2. Thereby, the contact surface 62 of the valve part 60 of the application plug 6 is separated from the valve seat surface 53 of the flow hole 51, and the flow hole 51 is opened. Then, after the internal solution in the container 2 flows into the introducing cylinder 7 from the side opening 73 of the introducing cylinder 7, etc., it flows into the distribution cylinder 5 from the communication port 70 of the introducing cylinder 7, and then the valve seat surface. 53 flows into the flow hole 51 through the gap between the contact surface 62 and the inside of the concave groove 63 formed in the insertion portion 61 of the coating plug 6 and is discharged from the tip opening of the flow hole 51 to be coated. Applied to the surface. At this time, the contents in the container 2 may be forcibly discharged by squeezing the body of the container 2.
When the application surface 50 of the application member 3 is separated from the application surface, the application plug 6 is released from being pressed by the application surface, and the application plug 6 is released by the elastic force (restoring force) of the first biasing member 8. The container 2 is pushed outward and pushed out. As a result, the distal end portion of the application plug 6 (insertion portion 61) is in a state of protruding from the distal end side opening portion of the flow hole 51.

  Further, after the application of the contents is finished, the overcap 4 is attached to the mouth portion 2a. More specifically, first, the overcap 4 is put on the mouth 2a, and then the outer cap 20 is rotated around the axis O in one circumferential direction (tightening direction). At this time, the engagement surface 24a of the fourth engagement portion 24 of the outer cap 20 abuts on the engagement surface 17a of the third engagement portion 17 of the inner cap 10, and the fourth engagement portion 24 becomes the third engagement portion. 17 is engaged from the rear side in the tightening direction, so that the outer cap 20 rotates to one side in the circumferential direction and the inner cap 10 rotates to one side in the circumferential direction. Thereby, the inner cap 10 is tightened and screwed into the mouth portion 2a, and the overcap 4 is attached to the mouth portion 2a.

That is, the sliding contact surface 124b is an inclined surface that is gradually inclined inward in the radial direction toward the one side in the circumferential direction.

  Next, the operation of the application container 1 having the above-described configuration will be described.

  First, as shown in FIG. 5, in the application container 1 before use, the second engagement portion 123 of the outer cap 120 is disposed above the first engagement portion 115 of the inner cap 110, and the outer cap 120 is Even if it is rotated in the other circumferential side (slack direction / F direction shown in FIG. 6), the first engagement portion 115 and the second engagement portion 123 are not engaged with each other. Further, when the outer cap 120 is rotated to the other side in the circumferential direction, the fourth engagement portion 124 of the outer cap 120 contacts the third engagement portion 117 of the inner cap 110. At this time, the connecting portion 116 is in the radial direction. While elastically deforming inward, the sliding contact surface 124b of the fourth engagement portion 124 slides on the sliding contact surface 117b of the third engagement portion 117, and the fourth engagement portion 124 is third from the circumferential direction side. It passes through the engaging portion 117 and moves to the other side in the circumferential direction. Therefore, even if the outer cap 120 rotates around the axis O, the inner cap 110 does not rotate, and the inner cap 10 screwed into the mouth portion 2a is not loosened.

  On the other hand, when the application container 1 is used, first, as shown in FIG. 8, the outer cap 120 is pushed down along the axial direction. As a result, the second engagement portion 123 of the outer cap 120 can engage with the first engagement portion 115 of the inner cap 110 from the circumferential direction.

  Next, the outer cap 120 is rotated to the other side in the circumferential direction (loosening direction) while the outer cap 120 is pushed down. At this time, the second engagement portion 123 of the outer cap 120 contacts the engagement surface 115a of the first engagement portion 115 of the inner cap 110, and the second engagement portion 123 engages with the first engagement portion 115. Therefore, the outer cap 120 rotates to the other side in the circumferential direction and the inner cap 110 rotates to the other side in the circumferential direction. As a result, the inner cap 110 screwed into the mouth portion 2a is loosened, and the overcap 4 is removed from the mouth portion 2a.

Further, when the overcap 4 is removed from the mouth portion 2a, the outer cap 120 is biased upward by the second biasing member 30, and the outer cap 120 is pushed up relative to the inner cap 110 so that it is not pushed down. Return to the original position. Accordingly, the second engagement portion 123 of the outer cap 120 is disposed above the first engagement portion 115 of the inner cap 110, and the first engagement portion 115 and the second engagement portion 123 are not engaged with each other. It becomes.
In this state, the application member 3 applies the contents in the container 2 to the surface to be applied.

  Further, after the application of the contents is finished, the overcap 4 is attached to the mouth portion 2a. More specifically, first, the overcap 4 is put on the mouth 2a, and then the outer cap 120 is rotated around the axis O in one circumferential direction (tightening direction). At this time, the engagement surface 124a of the fourth engagement portion 124 of the outer cap 120 contacts the engagement surface 117a of the third engagement portion 117 of the inner cap 110, and the fourth engagement portion 124 becomes the third engagement portion. Since it is engaged with 117, the outer cap 120 rotates to one side in the circumferential direction and the inner cap 110 rotates to one side in the circumferential direction. As a result, the inner cap 110 is tightened and screwed into the mouth portion 2a, and the overcap 4 is attached to the mouth portion 2a.

  Next, the effect of the application container 1 in the first and second embodiments described above will be described.

  According to the coating container 1 described above, in order to remove the overcap 4, it is necessary to rotate the outer caps 20, 120 while pressing them down, and the overcap 4 cannot be removed simply by rotating the outer caps 20, 120. It is possible to prevent the cap 4 from being inadvertently removed.

Further, in the above-described application container 1, when the overcap 4 is removed from the mouth 2a, the outer caps 20, 120 are urged upward by the second urging member 30, and the first engagement portions 15, 115 and Since the two engaging portions 23 and 123 return to a state where they are not engaged with each other, even when the overcap 4 once removed is remounted on the mouth portion 2a, the overcap 4 is not attached to the outer caps 20 and 120. It cannot be removed simply by rotating. That is, inadvertent removal of the overcap 4 can be prevented even when the overcap 4 is repeatedly attached and detached.
Moreover, in the above-mentioned application container 1, since the 2nd biasing member 30 is integrally formed with the outer caps 20 and 120, the number of parts can be reduced.

  In the application container 1 described above, the outer caps 20 and 120 are engaged with the third engaging portions 17 and 117 of the inner caps 10 and 110 from the rear side in the tightening direction, and the first from the rear side in the loosening direction. Fourth engagement portions 24 and 124 that pass through the three engagement portions 17 and 117 are provided, and the inner caps 10 and 110 are simply rotated by rotating the outer caps 20 and 120 without pushing down the outer caps 20 and 120. Since it is screwed into the mouth portion 2a, the overcap 4 can be easily attached to the mouth portion 2a.

  In the coating container 1 described above, when the outer caps 20 and 120 are pushed down, the coating plug 6 is pushed down by the push-down portion 25 and the flow hole 51 is once opened, so that the internal pressure of the container 2 rises for some reason. Even when the contents are applied, since the internal pressure of the container 2 is reduced when the contents are applied, it is possible to prevent the contents from being ejected more than necessary.

  The first and second embodiments of the application container according to the present invention have been described above. However, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and can be appropriately changed without departing from the spirit of the present invention. is there.

  For example, in the first and second embodiments described above, the inner caps 10 and 110 are provided with the third engaging portions 17 and 117 via the connecting portions 16 and 116, and the outer caps 20 and 120 are engaged with the fourth engagement. The joint portions 24 and 124 are provided. For example, the inclined surface 115b of the first engagement portion 115 is formed as a flat portion extending in the axial direction, so that the third engagement portions 17 and 117 and the first engagement portion 115 and the first engagement portion 115 are formed. It is also possible to omit the four engaging portions 24 and 124. In this case, when the overcap 4 is attached to the mouth portion 2a, the overcap 4 is put on the mouth portion 2a, and then the outer caps 20 and 120 are rotated while being pushed down, whereby the first engagement of the inner caps 10 and 110 is achieved. The parts 15 and 115 and the second engaging parts 23 and 123 of the outer caps 20 and 120 are engaged, and the inner caps 10 and 110 can be rotated together with the outer caps 20 and 120.

However, in the present invention, the outer caps 20 and 120 are not pushed down. It is also possible to use a biasing member that biases the outer cap 20, 120 upward. For example, the second urging member 30 (wall portion 31) may be elastically deformed in a state where the outer caps 20, 120 are not pushed down.
In the present invention, the coating stopper 6 may be pushed down by the push-down portion 25 before the outer caps 20 and 120 are pushed down. For example, the concave portion 14a is not formed in the distal end wall portion 14, the through hole 14b of the distal end wall portion 14 extends from the upper surface to the lower surface of the distal end wall portion 14, and the pressing portion 25 is below the through hole 14b. The structure extended to the downward direction of the opening part may be sufficient. In this case, liquid leakage is prevented by the convex portion 14d on the lower surface of the tip wall portion 14 and the convex portion 14c on the inner peripheral surface of the through hole 14b.
Further, in the above-described embodiment, the passage for releasing the internal pressure of the container 2 is formed by the gap between the inner cap 10, 110 and the flow tube 5 and the gap between the mouth portion 2 a and the inner cap 10, 110. In the present invention, a passage for releasing the internal pressure of the container 2 may be formed by the through hole 14b and the gap between the inner cap 10, 110 and the outer cap 20, 120. In this case, for example, a concave portion (concave groove) extending in the axial direction is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the pressing portion 25, and when the outer caps 20, 120 are pushed down, the inside and outside of the convex portion 14c are communicated via the concave portion. Can be adopted.

  In the first and second embodiments described above, the second urging member 30 is composed of a plurality of wall portions 31 formed integrally with the outer caps 20 and 120. Another urging member can be used as the member (second urging member), and for example, a coil spring can be used. The biasing member of the present invention may not be formed integrally with the outer cap, may be formed integrally with the inner cap, or formed separately from the inner cap and the outer cap.
