Description

  The present invention relates to a dropping container with an application body that contains a liquid medicine, dispenses the contained medicine, and applies it to a target location.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, some liquid medicines such as anti-itch are contained in a dropping container with an application body to which an application body such as a brush applied to the skin is attached. Such dripping containers with an application body include those in which the content liquid oozes out from the application body and those that are poured into the application body from the vicinity of the application body. However, it was difficult to understand how much content liquid was dispensed. In addition, there is a container in which the content liquid is dripped from the nozzle of the narrow mouth by squeezing the body portion of the container main body, and such a container can be dispensed quantitatively because the amount of one drop is almost constant. However, the dropped content liquid could not be spread. Accordingly, various types of dripping containers with an application body for quantifying the amount of the dispensed content liquid and spreading with the application body have been proposed as follows.

  For example, the measuring cup disclosed in Patent Document 1 and the measuring cup mounting container include a cup body having a valve hole in the center of the bottom wall, and a valve mounted and fixed on the bottom wall of the cup body. A stand is provided. The valve-equipped base is provided with a valve body with an elastic connecting piece, and this valve body elastically closes the valve hole of the cup body to form a discharge valve. The valve body is provided with a rod-like object that is loosely inserted into the valve hole, and the discharge valve opens when the rod-like object is pushed up. On the outer surface of the bottom wall of the cup body, a protective cylinder is provided at the periphery of the valve hole, and a rubbing material is provided around the protective cylinder. When taking out the content liquid from the measuring cup, the stick-like material is pushed up to open the discharge valve against elasticity, the content liquid is allowed to flow out, and is spread with a rubbing material.

  The side knock type container disclosed in Patent Document 2 has a hollow container body, an application member whose one end protrudes outside the container body and the other end is supported by the container body, and can be displaced to the side surface of the container body. And a valve mechanism for feeding the contents to the application member in accordance with the displacement operation of the side button. When the content liquid is taken out from the side knock type container, a certain amount of the content liquid is automatically fed to the application member by the operation of pressing and releasing the side button, and the application member spreads the object liquid.

  According to the container 10 with the application body of this embodiment, the structure is simple, the number of parts is small, and the manufacture is easy. The medicine 64 is reliably poured out quantitatively and spread on the object 66 while being applied with the brush 28. be able to. When taking out the medicine 64, it can be taken out little by little by dropping the container body 12 upside down and squeezing, and the amount of one drop can be set to an arbitrary amount by adjusting the outer diameter of the tip of the dropping nozzle 38. Therefore, it is possible to count and dispense the number of drops. The medicine 64 dispensed in this manner can be spread on the object 66 while being applied with the brush 28, and an appropriate use state can be obtained. Moreover, since the pouring member 18 is a hinge cap, the lid portion 42 can be opened and closed with a single touch, and can be fixed to the cylinder portion 24 of the cap body 19 with the lid portion 42 opened by 180 ° or more. The lid 42 does not get in the way during the operation of dropping and applying the liquid, and the operation is easy. When not in use, it is liquid-tightly closed simply by closing the lid 42, and the medicine 64 can be accommodated easily and reliably. Since it does not rotate like a screw cap, the dripping nozzle 38 does not need to be centered, and the layout with the brush 28 can be taken freely.

  In addition, the container with an application body of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and the shape of each member can be changed. For example, the shape of the locking protrusion of the cylinder portion and the locking protrusion of the lid portion is Any device that can be securely engaged with each other and released when a certain force is applied thereto may be used. The method of attaching the brush, the position and number of the brush, and the like can be freely changed. The applied body may be other than a brush, a foam, a felt, a spatula, etc., and can be freely changed according to the viscosity and the amount of the drug used.
