  However, in the above-described prior art, in use, the nozzle cap is completely separated from the container with the long nozzle, so that the separated nozzle cap is managed so as not to be lost, or the container of the nozzle cap There has been a demand for improving the ease of handling of the nozzle cap, for example, it may be necessary to align the mounting state of the nozzle cap with the long nozzle so that the posture with the locking assembly with respect to the main body becomes appropriate.

  Therefore, the present invention was devised to satisfy the above-described demand in the prior art, and it is a technical problem to attach a nozzle cap to a container body attached to a container body with a jetting function body in the same manner as a long nozzle. Therefore, the object is to improve the ease of handling of the nozzle cap.

The main configuration of the present invention for solving the above technical problem is:
The ejecting function body that ejects the content liquid is tightly attached to the upper end opening of the bottomed cylindrical container body containing the contents liquid, and constitutes a part of this ejection function body, and can be pushed downward by being urged upward. Constructing a container body by assembling a long nozzle to the ejection head protruding into
The long nozzle is composed of a horizontal nozzle portion protruding from the side surface of the ejection head, and an extended nozzle portion that is bent continuously from the tip of the horizontal nozzle portion,
Assembling the long nozzle with the jet nozzle so that it can rotate around the horizontal nozzle,
The nozzle cover body is fixedly assembled and fixed to the container body by the assembly frame,
Assembling a nozzle cap that is detachably fitted to the tip of the extended nozzle portion located in a hanging position near the container body, so that it can be displaced up and down, on the assembly frame;
It is in.

  Containers with long nozzles turn the extended nozzle part of the long nozzle in a posture to extend in the lateral direction, so that the tip of the extended nozzle part where the nozzle port is opened is the target for spray application of chemicals It becomes a use state that can be accurately directed to the location, and by rotating the extended nozzle part in a posture to hang down, the tip of the extended nozzle part is close to the side of the container body and along the container body Are in a standby state (non-use state), and both states are switched by rotation of the long nozzle.

  The nozzle cap is assembled to the assembly frame, which is an assembly part of the nozzle cover body that is fixedly assembled and fixed to the container body, so that it can be displaced up and down. It is made to oppose from the downward direction with respect to the front-end | tip part of the extension nozzle part.

  Therefore, if the nozzle cap is moved up and displaced while the extended nozzle portion is in the standby state, the nozzle cap is directly fitted on the tip of the extended nozzle portion.

  In the standby state of the container, the extension nozzle portion cannot be rotated and displaced by attaching the nozzle cap to the extension nozzle portion, so that the standby state of the container is stably maintained and the nozzle port is opened. Since the nozzle cap covers the tip of the extended nozzle portion, the content liquid in the extended nozzle portion is dried and solidified, drooped, and prevents dust from adhering.

  If the nozzle cap is moved downward from the standby state of the container and removed from the tip of the extended nozzle portion, the action of preventing the rotation displacement of the long nozzle by the nozzle cap is released. It is possible to switch to the use state.

  Even when the long nozzle is rotated and the container is switched to the use state, the nozzle cover body, that is, the nozzle cap remains attached without being separated from the container body, so that the nozzle cap is always handled integrally with the container body. It will be.

  According to another configuration of the present invention, in the main configuration described above, the stationary mounting and fixing of the nozzle cover body to the container body is achieved by vertically aligning the tip portion of the extended nozzle portion and the nozzle cap in the suspended position. It is a thing.

  In the case where the tip part of the extended nozzle part in the hanging position and the nozzle cap are aligned vertically, the tip part of the extending nozzle part and the nozzle can be simply moved by rotating the extended nozzle part to the hanging position. The cap is positioned so as to face the cap accurately in the vertical direction, and the nozzle cap can be lifted as it is, so that the nozzle cap can be accurately and surely fitted to the tip of the extended nozzle portion.

  Further, according to another configuration of the present invention, in the main configuration described above, the nozzle cover body includes a nozzle cap and a cylindrical assembled frame with an open upper surface, and the nozzle cap is moved up and down in the assembled frame. A guide vertical hole to be assembled is opened, and an in / out notch portion in which the tip of the extended nozzle portion that rotates and displaces in the vicinity of the guide vertical hole is formed and placed in the assembly frame. The operation piece integrally provided on the nozzle cap is assembled so as to be slidable up and down while protruding from the guide vertical hole.

  If the nozzle cap that constitutes the nozzle cover body is provided with an operation piece and the assembly frame is formed with guide vertical holes, the operation piece is operated with the fingertip of the nozzle cap arranged in the assembly frame. Thus, the up-and-down displacement operation can be performed from the outside of the assembled frame, which facilitates the up-and-down operation of the nozzle cap.

  Further, another configuration of the present invention is the main configuration described above and the guide frame in which the guide vertical hole and the in / out notch portion are formed in the assembled frame. The assembled frame portion that is fixedly assembled and fixed to the container body, which is a portion to be removed, is formed into a short cylindrical piece shape.

  If the assembled frame portion that is fixedly assembled and fixed to the container body is a short cylindrical piece, the amount of resin for forming the assembled frame can be reduced.

  In addition, another configuration of the present invention is the above-described main configuration, in which the fixing of the nozzle cover body with the container body to the container body is fixed to the upper end portion of the outer peripheral surface of the body portion of the container body, and the assembly frame This is achieved by undercut coupling with a locking protrusion provided at the upper end of the inner peripheral surface of the.

  An extremely simple structure for fixing the nozzle cover body to the container body by undercut coupling of the locking groove provided on the container body and the locking protrusion provided on the assembly frame. Since the undercut coupling portion is configured by the combination of the locking groove and the locking protrusion, the undercut coupling portion can be easily molded and handled easily.

  In addition, another configuration of the present invention is the above-described main configuration, and the undercut coupling portion is configured by a combination of a locking groove and a locking protrusion, and the vertical alignment of the nozzle cover body with respect to the container body is as follows: This is achieved by the engagement between a protruding piece provided in a configuration crossing the locking groove and a notch provided in the locking protrusion.

  In the case where the alignment of the container body and the nozzle cover body is achieved by the engagement between the projecting piece and the notch, the upper and lower sides of the container body and the nozzle cover body are simultaneously mounted and fixed to the container body. Since the alignment can be achieved, the alignment assembly process of the nozzle cover body with respect to the container body can be easily achieved.

  In addition, another configuration of the present invention is the above-described main configuration in which a locking plate piece is erected on the rear side surface of the upper end portion of the extended nozzle portion of the long nozzle, and the extended nozzle portion is rotated to a hanging position. Thus, the lower end surface of the locking plate piece is brought into contact with the stationary part of the container body.

  In the case where the locking plate piece is erected on the extended nozzle portion of the long nozzle, it is possible to reliably prevent the unintentional pressing displacement of the ejection head in the standby state of the container.

Since the present invention has the above-described configuration, the following effects can be obtained.
In the main configuration of the present invention, since the standby state of the container is stably maintained, safe handling can be obtained, and the content liquid in the extension nozzle portion is dried and solidified, dripped, and dust is adhered. Therefore, a hygienic and preferable use situation can be obtained.

  Further, since the nozzle cap is always handled integrally with the container body, there is no need to take care of storage and management of the nozzle cap, and the handling becomes extremely easy.

  In the case where the tip part of the extended nozzle part in the hanging posture and the nozzle cap are aligned vertically, the extended nozzle part can be simply raised by raising the nozzle cap with respect to the extending nozzle part in the hanging position. Since the nozzle cap can be accurately and reliably fitted to the distal end of the nozzle, accurate and reliable outer fitting of the nozzle cap to the distal end of the extended nozzle portion can be achieved very easily.

  In the case where an operation piece is provided on the nozzle cap constituting the nozzle cover body and a guide vertical hole is formed in the assembled frame, the nozzle cap can be easily moved up and down, so the nozzle for the tip of the extended nozzle portion The cap can be easily attached and detached, and the container body to which the nozzle cover body is assembled can be handled correspondingly.

  If the assembled frame part that is fixedly assembled and fixed to the container body is a short cylinder piece, the amount of resin for forming the assembled frame can be reduced, thus saving resources. Can be definitely obtained.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
1 to 6 show an embodiment of a container with a long nozzle according to the present invention. The container is composed of a container body 1 in which a jetting functional body 6 is assembled to a container body 2 and a nozzle cover body 15. It is configured.

  The container main body 2 stands upright at the upper end of a barrel portion 3 (see FIG. 5) having a bottomed cylindrical shape that stores a liquid content such as a chemical solution, and forms an upper end opening portion through a reduced diameter shoulder portion. It is formed into a continuous bottle shape, and is formed from a metal such as synthetic resin, glass or aluminum. A circumferential groove-like locking groove 4 is formed at the upper end portion of the body portion 3 of the container body 2, and constitutes an undercut coupling portion with the nozzle cover body 15. Further, the upper groove surface of the locking groove 4 is formed in the locking step portion 5 having an enlarged diameter, and covers the upper end surface of the assembled frame 19 of the assembled nozzle cover body 15 at the upper end of the body portion 3. The bowl-shaped part which improves the appearance appearance of the container body 1 is formed.

  As the ejection function body 6, for example, a pump structure having a cylinder and a piston or an aerosol type can be used. The ejection function body 6 is closely attached to the mouth tube portion of the container body 2 by a mounting cap 7, and this mounting cap 7 The ejecting head 9 is assembled so that it can be pushed down in a state in which the guide tube 8 is erected in a state of projecting upward from the guide tube 8 and further biased upward from the inside of the guide tube 8. The guide cylinder 8 guides the up-and-down displacement of the ejection head 9 so that the up-and-down displacement of the ejection head 9 is stably performed.

  A long nozzle 10 is assembled to the ejection head 9 so as to be rotatable. The long nozzle 10 is configured by a long extended nozzle portion 12 being bent at a right angle at the tip of a short horizontal nozzle portion 11, and the horizontal nozzle portion 11 is protruded from the front surface of the ejection head 9. The extended nozzle portion 12 is rotatably supported by the ejection head 9 while being supported by the piece 13. When the long nozzle 10 is rotationally displaced about the horizontal nozzle portion 11, the extended nozzle portion 12 moves its nozzle opening. The opened tip portion is rotated up and down and the posture in which the extended nozzle portion 12 extends in the lateral direction is in the use state, and the posture in which the extended nozzle portion 12 hangs down is in the standby state. Then, the tip of the extended nozzle portion 12 is positioned along the trunk portion 3 (see FIG. 3) in the vicinity of the trunk portion 3 of the container body 2.

  On the rear side of the upper end portion of the extension nozzle portion 12, the lower end edge is abutted against the upper end surface of the guide tube 8 that forms the stationary portion of the container body 1 with the extension nozzle portion 12 in a suspended position. A locking plate piece 14 (see FIGS. 2 and 3) to be contacted is erected, and when the locking plate piece 14 is brought into contact with the guide tube 8 from above, the ejection head 9 is displaced downward in the standby state. This prevents the content liquid from being illegally ejected in the standby state.

  In the standby state, the locking plate piece 14 is lightly locked to the upper end surface portion of the guide tube 8 with which the locking plate piece 14 abuts from above, and the locking recess 8a holds the hanging posture of the extended nozzle portion 12. (Refer to FIGS. 1 and 2) is preferably formed, and the hanging posture of the extended nozzle portion 12 is maintained by the locking of the locking plate piece 14 with respect to the locking recess 8a, and at the hanging position. The positioning of the tip of the extended nozzle portion 12 is ensured.

  The nozzle cover body 15 includes a bottomed cylindrical nozzle cap 16 that is fitted to the tip of the extended nozzle portion 12, and an assembly frame 19 that immobilizes and fixes the nozzle cover body 15 to the container body 2. The assembly frame 19 has a bottomed long cylindrical shape (see FIG. 6) opened upward, and has one guide vertical hole 20 (see FIG. 2) in the central portion of the first half of the cylindrical wall portion. In addition, on both sides of the guide vertical hole 20, an entry / exit portion 21 (see FIG. 2) through which the tip of the extended nozzle portion 12 enters and exits is formed.

  In the guide vertical hole 20, an operation piece 17 (see FIG. 5) integrally provided on the nozzle cap 16 located in the assembled frame 19 via the connecting piece 18 is located so as to protrude, and the anti-slip The nozzle cap 16 in the assembled frame 19 is moved up and down by operating the surface of the operation piece 17 having the irregularities with a fingertip. In addition, by forming a functional part to get over and lock between the operating piece 17 positioned at the upper limit and the hole edge of the guide vertical hole 20, the combination of the locking plate piece 14 and the guide cylinder 8 is achieved. Instead, it is possible to provide a function part for preventing the illegal lowering displacement of the ejection head 9 in the standby state.

  The upper end of the rear half of the cylindrical wall of the assembled frame 19 of the nozzle cover body 15 is engaged with the engagement groove 4 of the container body 2 to form an undercut coupling portion with the container body 2. A protrusion 22 (see FIG. 5) is formed, and the nozzle cover body 15 is fixedly assembled and fixed to the container body 2 by the engagement of the locking protrusion 22 and the locking groove 4. When the container main body 2 and the nozzle cover body 15 are assembled by the engagement between the locking protrusion 22 and the locking groove 4, a protruding piece is formed on a part of the locking groove 4 so as to cross the locking groove 4. 4a is provided, and a notch 22a (see FIG. 9) is formed in a part of the locking ridge 22 in a form in which a part of the locking ridge 22 is notched. With this engagement assembly, it is possible to obtain the fixed assembly positioning of the nozzle cover body 15 with respect to the container body 2.

  FIG. 7 shows another embodiment of the present invention, and the assembly frame 19 of the nozzle cover body 15 is formed in a simple cylindrical shape without a bottom, thereby opening the assembly frame 19 up and down. Thus, the occurrence of inconvenience that dust or the like accumulates in the assembled frame 19 is prevented, and FIG. 8 shows still another embodiment example of the assembled frame 19 of the nozzle cover body 15. The assembly portion with respect to the container body 2, that is, the latter half portion provided with the locking projection 22 of the cylindrical wall of the assembly frame 19 is formed into a short cylindrical piece, thereby forming a material for molding the nozzle cover body 15, for example, a synthetic resin material. We try to save resources by reducing it.

Next, an operation procedure of the illustrated embodiment will be described.
FIG. 1 shows a use state in which the extended nozzle portion 12 is extended in the horizontal direction, and the tip of the extended nozzle portion 12 extended in the horizontal direction is directed to a target location and the vicinity thereof. The content liquid can be accurately and intensively ejected to a target location by pressing the ejection head 9 while maintaining this state.

  From this state of use, when the distal end portion of the extended nozzle portion 12 is rotated and displaced until the extended nozzle portion 12 is in the suspended posture, the distal end portion of the extended nozzle portion 12 passes through the entry / exit portion 21. It penetrates into the assembly frame 19 of the nozzle cover body 15, and the extended nozzle part 12 becomes a hanging posture. At this time, the lower end edge of the locking plate piece 13 gets over the locking recess 8 a of the guide tube 8 and locks, and the hanging posture of the extended nozzle portion 12 is maintained.

  From the standby state shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 in which the extended nozzle portion 12 is in the suspended position, the lowered nozzle cap 16 is raised by operating the operation piece 17, and the tip of the extended nozzle portion 12 is moved. Externally assembled (see FIGS. 4 and 5). In this standby state, the pressing action of the ejection head 8 is prevented by the abutting action of the locking plate piece 14 against the guide cylinder 8 or the locking action between the connecting piece 18 and the guide vertical hole 20, Inconvenient ejection of the content liquid can be reliably prevented.

  Further, the locking plate piece 14 is locked in the locking recess 8a, and the position of the tip of the extended nozzle portion 12 in the hanging position is accurately positioned, and the notch 22a is engaged with the protruding piece 4a. Thus, by accurately positioning the nozzle cap 16, it is possible to save time and labor for performing bothersome positioning operations of the fitting assembly from above and below.

  In order to switch from the standby state to the use state, the operation piece 17 is operated from the state shown in FIG. 4 to remove the nozzle cap 16 from the tip of the extended nozzle portion 12, and then the long nozzle 10 is rotated to extend. This is achieved by placing the nozzle portion 12 in a horizontal posture.

  As apparent from the switching operation from the standby state to the use state, the nozzle cover body 15 remains attached to the container body 1 even in the use state of the container. Without being separated from each other. Since the nozzle cap 16 integrally attached to the container body 1 in the state of use is in a state of being housed in the assembly frame 19, it does not interfere with the handling operation for ejecting the content liquid.

  The outer peripheral surface of the distal end portion of the extended nozzle portion 12 and the inner peripheral surface of the nozzle cap 16 are preferably formed on a tapered surface (see FIG. 5) whose diameter increases toward the distal end side or the opening portion side. As a result, it is possible to more smoothly achieve the external fitting of the nozzle cap 16 to the distal end portion of the extended nozzle portion 12. Further, an extended nozzle is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the distal end portion of the extended nozzle portion 12 and the inner peripheral surface of the nozzle cap 16 by forming an assembled portion that is detachably undercut in a fitted assembled state. A stable fitting assembly state of the nozzle cap 16 with respect to the distal end portion of the portion 12 can be obtained, and occurrence of inconvenience that the nozzle cap 16 detaches from the distal end portion of the extended nozzle portion 12 can be prevented.

  As described above, the container with a long nozzle of the present invention can be integrally attached with the nozzle cap in an unobstructed state when the container body is in use. It can be eliminated, and a wide range of usage for containers that require nozzle caps is expected.
