Description

  The present invention relates to a supply container for liquid soaps, and more particularly to a supply container for liquid soaps in which liquid soaps in a refill bag can be easily transferred into a supply container.

  “Liquid soaps” in the present application includes shampoos, rinses, treatments, conditioners, body shampoos and the like.

Liquid soaps are generally stored in a supply container having pump means, as shown in, for example, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 7-25121.

  In addition, refill bags containing liquid soaps are also available. In this refill bag, when the liquid soap in the liquid soap supply container is used up, the supply container is replenished with the liquid soap in the refill bag without discarding the supply container. It is a thing.

  Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2009-262967 relating to the applicant's application discloses a liquid soap supply container (hereinafter simply referred to as “conventional”) in which liquid soap in a refill bag can be easily transferred into a supply container. Liquid soap supply container ").

  As shown in FIG. 7, a conventional liquid soap supply container has an upper end 1 a of a container body 1, and an outer lid 5 provided with pump means 3 is provided at the upper end 1 a of the container body 1. The upper end 1a of the container body 1 is provided with an inner lid 13 so that it can be opened and closed. The inner lid 13 is formed with a slit 17 penetrating the inner lid 13 inward and outward. The refill bag 19 containing liquid soap is separated into the container body 1 with the outer lid 5 being separated from the inner lid 13 and the inner lid 13 is opened, and one end 19a of the refill bag 19 is opened, and the refill bag 19 is opened. With the other end 19 b of the bag 19 inserted into the slit 17 of the inner lid 13, the inner lid 13 is fitted to the upper end 1 a of the container body 1, and the other end 19 b of the refill bag 19 is lifted upward. The liquid soap in the bag 19 is slit 1 By those made as squeezing the container body 1.

No. 7-25121 JP 2009-262967 A

  In the conventional liquid soap supply container, the slit 17 of the inner lid 13 for squeezing the liquid soap in the refill bag 19 into the container body 1 is a through-hole formed in the inner lid 13 in advance. Yes, it cannot be adjusted according to the state of the refill bag 19 or the state of the liquid soap in the refill bag 19. Therefore, in the conventional liquid soap supply container, it is not possible to completely squeeze all the liquid soap in the refill bag 19 into the container body 1, and after passing through the slit 17 of the inner lid 13, There is a problem that liquid soap remains in the refill bag 19.

Further, in the conventional liquid soap supply container, since the slit 17 of the inner lid 13 is not adjustable as described above, the other end 19b of the refill bag 19 containing the liquid soap is pulled upward to form the slit 17. There is also a problem that the work to pass is not easy.

  In view of such a situation, the present invention intends to provide a supply container for liquid soap that can completely and easily squeeze all the liquid soap in the refill bag into the container body. It was made.

  In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides the following supply container for liquid soaps.

(1) A liquid in which the upper end of the container body is opened, an outer lid provided with pump means is detachably attached to the upper end of the container body, and an inner lid is provided at the upper end of the container body. In the soap supply container,
The inner lid is provided with an opening, and one end of the opening / closing lid is pivotally attached to the opening so that the opening / closing lid can be opened and closed.
A refill bag containing liquid soap is placed in the container body with one end of the refill bag open, and the other end of the refill bag corresponds to the other end of the opening / closing lid. By pressing the other end of the opening / closing lid against the refill bag by pressing the opening / closing lid in the direction of closing the opening / closing lid, pulling the refill bag outward of the container body, A liquid soap supply container characterized in that liquid soap in a refill bag is squeezed into the container body (claim 1).

(2) The said corresponding edge of the said opening part is equipped with the inclined surface which inclined in the direction which leaves | separates from the center of the said container main body toward upper direction (Claim 2).

(3) The other end of the opening / closing lid includes a pressing surface that is substantially parallel to the inclined surface of the corresponding edge in the opening when the opening / closing lid is closed.

(4) The other end of the opening / closing lid is provided with a convex portion for preventing the opening / closing lid from opening by contacting the corresponding edge of the opening when the opening / closing lid is closed ( Claim 4).

(5) The inner lid is detachable from the container body.

[Invention of Claim 1]
By passing a refill bag containing liquid soaps between the other end of the open / close lid pivotally attached to the opening of the inner lid and a corresponding edge of the opening, the liquid soap in the refill bag However, the distance between the other end of the opening / closing lid and the corresponding edge of the opening is not fixed, and the force by which the user presses the opening / closing lid in the closing direction. By adjusting the distance, the interval can be adjusted freely. Further, depending on the amount of liquid soap remaining in the refill bag, etc., by pulling the refill bag outward from the container main body, Liquid soaps in the refill bag can be effectively squeezed out. Therefore, it can be completely and easily squeezed into the container body without leaving the liquid soaps in the refill bag.

[Invention of claim 2]
Since the corresponding edge of the opening is provided with an inclined surface that is inclined upward in a direction away from the center of the container body, the user can squeeze the liquid soap in the refill bag. Can be pulled diagonally upward. Therefore, the operation of squeezing out the liquid soap in the refill bag becomes easier.

[Invention of claim 3]
Since the other end of the opening / closing lid has a pressing surface that is substantially parallel to the inclined surface of the corresponding edge in the opening when the opening / closing lid is closed, the liquid soap in the refill bag is squeezed out. In this case, the refill bag can be effectively squeezed between the pressing surface and the inclined surface while pulling the refill bag outward from the container body.

[Invention of claim 4]
When the opening / closing lid is formed integrally with the inner lid via the hinge portion, the opening / closing lid tends to open even when the opening / closing lid is closed. It is inconvenient in the appearance of the product that the open / close lid that should be in the closed state is open.

  According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, the other end of the opening / closing lid has a convex portion for preventing the opening / closing lid from opening by abutting against the corresponding edge of the opening when the opening / closing lid is closed. Since it is provided, the open / close lid once closed is held in a closed state.

[Invention of claim 5]
Since the inner lid is detachable from the container main body, the inner lid can be removed from the container main body to clean the inside of the container main body when necessary.
