Description

  The present invention relates to a spout and a container to which a spout is attached, and more particularly to a spout that can be used for dispensing a horizontally long solid and a container to which the spout is attached.

  A spout is used as a spout for a container such as a pouch mainly containing a liquid material or a gel material. These spouts are attached by being welded to the opening of the container (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2004-203489

  However, in a container equipped with the spout described in Patent Document 1, the spout has a relatively freely deformable shape such as a liquid or a gel (hereinafter referred to as a liquid). It has a structure that assumes an object, and it has not been assumed for a content that is difficult to freely deform its shape, such as a solid object.

  Usually, a spout has a base and a dispensing cylinder, and is attached by welding the outer surface of the base to the opening of the container body.Therefore, when the spout is attached to the container, the bottom of the spout is formed. A step is generated between the opened mouth and the container. The level difference is not a problem when the contents are liquid, etc., because the contents can be deformed in accordance with the level difference, but when the contents are solid, etc. There was a possibility that the flow was hindered and the contents could be poured out.

  In particular, when the content is an elongated solid such as a needle or rod, the orientation is disturbed due to the inhibition of the flow. Therefore, the conventional spout has a problem that when the content is an elongated solid, the spout dispensing cylinder may be clogged by the contents whose orientation is disturbed. It was difficult to apply to a container having a solid or the like as a content.

  In order to solve this problem, it is considered that the spout is simply formed larger and the diameter of the dispensing cylinder is made larger, but in that case, a large amount of contents are poured out at one time, It will be difficult to adjust the amount dispensed.

  Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a spout that can be applied to a container having a solid or the like as its contents while maintaining the ease of adjusting the amount to be dispensed, and a container equipped with the spout. .

The present invention includes a base, in a spout having a pouring cylinder with a discharge hole while being erected on the top surface of the base portion, the base portion includes a reinforcing edge and mouth thin edge portion is formed and the bottom has an inlet hole formed so as to communicate the the mouth portion and dissipating Deana, and the mouth portion is for the rim of the reinforcing edges with said thin edge The spout is characterized in that the introduction hole has a wide end portion continuous with the mouth portion.
Further, the present invention provides a spout comprising a base and a pouring tube standing on the top surface of the base and having a discharge hole, and the base has a thin edge and a thin edge as a lip. A bottom portion formed with a mouth portion, and an introduction hole formed so as to communicate the mouth portion and the discharge hole, and the introduction hole includes a wide end portion continuous with the mouth portion; And a diameter-reduced portion continuous with the discharge hole, and an inclination angle of the wide end portion and an inclination angle of the diameter-reduced portion are θ ₂ <θ ₁ <90 ° (provided that θ ₁ : An inclination angle of the reduced diameter portion, and θ ₂ : an inclination angle of the wide end portion).

Further , according to the present invention, the introduction hole is further formed with a reduced diameter portion continuous with the discharge hole, and the inclination angle of the wide end portion and the inclination angle of the reduced diameter portion are θ ₂ <θ. _{1 <90} ° (where, theta _1: inclination angle of said reduced diameter portion, theta _2: the inclined angle of the wide end, and) a spout, characterized in that meet. Further, the present invention, the reinforcing rim is formed in the long axis both ends of the front Symbol bottom, the thin edge is the spout, characterized in that it is formed in the minor axis at both ends of the bottom portion is there.

  Further, the present invention is a container comprising the spout and a container main body having an opening, and the base side surface of the spout is welded to the opening, the container being an elongated solid object Is a container equipped with a spout characterized by having the contents thereof. In the present invention, the container body is a container equipped with a spout, wherein the container body has an opening at a corner.

  In the present invention, “thin” means that the meat is thin enough to prevent the flow of the elongated and solid contents when the spout is attached to the container. Further, the “elongated shape” means that one side is longer than the other side by a length, and includes needles, rods, and other shapes.

  Since the spout of the present invention has a thin mouth rim formed at the bottom of the base, when the spout is attached to a container, the contents are placed between the mouth and the inner surface of the container. Therefore, even if the content is a slender solid matter, it is possible to prevent the orientation from being disturbed. Therefore, the spout can be applied to a container having a solid or the like as contents.

It is sectional drawing in the III-III line of FIG. It is sectional drawing in the IV-IV line of FIG.2 and FIG.7. It is a figure which shows embodiment of this invention, and is a figure which shows an example of the container with which the spout was mounted | worn. It is a bottom face schematic diagram of a 2nd embodiment of the present invention. It is sectional drawing in the VII-VII line of FIG.

  A first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. A container 1 equipped with a spout (hereinafter also referred to as a container 1) includes a spout 2 and a container body 3. The container body 3 is a bag-like container such as a pouch, and an opening 31 is formed at an end 30 thereof.

  The spout 2 includes a base 20 and an extraction tube 21 that is erected from the top 20 b of the base 20. The dispensing cylinder 21 is a cylinder having a discharge hole 23. The opening of the discharge hole 23 is a spout 22 for pouring the contents out of the container, the base end of the discharge hole 23 is continuous with the introduction hole 25, and the contents are received from the introduction hole 25. (In the present invention, the distal end and the proximal end are defined by the flow direction of the contents, and the upstream side is defined as the proximal end and the downstream side is defined as the distal end.). The outer surface 21a can adopt a known form, for example, a thread (not shown) or the like for screwing the lid 4 can be formed.

  The base portion 20 is formed in a substantially boat shape when viewed from the bottom (in the present invention, the substantially boat shape is defined as a shape in which the major axis end of an ellipse is constricted in a triangular shape), and the bottom portion 26 extends over the entire circumference. A thin edge 26a is formed, and a mouth 24 having the thin edge 26a as a mouth is formed. The base 20 is provided with an introduction hole 25 formed so as to communicate the opening 24 and the receiving port 23 a of the discharge hole 23. In addition, a well-known form can be employ | adopted for the shape of the side surface 20a of the base 20 suitably.

The introduction hole 25 is formed to introduce the contents into the discharge hole 23, and has a reduced diameter portion 25 a continuous with the receiving port 23 a of the discharge hole 23 and a wide end portion 25 b continuous with the mouth portion 24. Introduction hole 25 has a diverging substantially trumpet shape, the relationship between the inclination angle theta ₂ of the inclination angle theta ₁ and the wide end portion 25b of the reduced diameter portion 25a has a _{θ 2 <θ 1 <90 °} . That is, the introduction hole 25 has a shape that is reduced in diameter in two steps from the mouth portion 24 side toward the discharge hole 23 side.

In this embodiment, the reduced diameter portion 25a is inclined over the entire circumference, one of opposed faces, preferably, easy long axis both ends to adjust the inclination angle theta ₁ is sufficient if inclined . The introduction hole 25 can be formed by two planes having different inclination angles as in the present embodiment, but can also be formed by a curved surface. However, the inclination angles θ ₁ and θ ₂ when the introduction hole 25 is formed as a curved surface are defined by the inclination angles of the tangent lines.

  The spout 2 is attached to the container main body 3 by welding the side surface 20 a of the base 20 to the opening 31 of the container main body 3. The attachment position of the spout 2 can be selected as appropriate, but preferably, the opening 31 is formed in the corner portion 30 a at the end 30 of the container body 3.

  As the contents of the container 1, for example, an elongated solid such as tea leaves can be selected. First, the contents can suppress a step between the mouth portion 24 and the container body 3 as much as possible because the mouth edge of the mouth portion 24 is a thin edge portion 26a. Thereby, the disturbance of the orientation of the contents is reduced, and the initial orientation is maintained, and the contents are poured out from the introduction hole 25 through the discharge hole 23 to the outside of the container 1. To prevent clogging.

  In addition, since the introduction hole 25 is gradually increased in inclination angle from the wide end portion 25b to the reduced diameter portion 25a, the disturbance of the orientation that has occurred still is adjusted, so that the contents are discharged from the discharge hole 23. It is possible to further prevent clogging.

  At this time, since the spout 2 is obliquely attached to the corner portion 30a of the container body 3, the flow of the contents becomes more lubricious, and the contents can be prevented from being clogged in the discharge holes 23 more. .

  A second embodiment of the present invention will be described based on FIG. 1, FIG. 4, FIG. 6, and FIG. The difference from the first embodiment is that a reinforcing edge portion 26 b is formed on the bottom portion 26 of the base portion 20. Since other parts are the same as those in the first embodiment, the description thereof is omitted.

  Reinforcing edges 26b are formed on the bottom 26 of the base 20 so as to oppose both ends of one shaft and thin edges 26a are opposed to both ends of the other shaft. The reinforcing edges 26b and the thin edges 26a are formed. A mouth portion 24B having a mouth as a mouth is formed. Preferably, the reinforcing edge portion 26b is formed on both ends of the long axis, which is considered to have the least influence on the content extraction. In addition, the reduced diameter portion 25a is formed so that the surface on the side where the reinforcing edge portion 26b is formed is inclined when only one of the opposing surfaces is inclined.

  In the present embodiment, the reinforcing edge portion 26b is provided together with the thin edge portion 26a, and at least the surface of the reduced diameter portion 25a on the side where the reinforcing edge portion 26b is formed is inclined, thereby disturbing the orientation of the contents. Even if the material of the spout is a resin having a relatively high flexibility, it is possible to ensure the necessary strength as a product. That is, by reinforcing the spout 2 by the reinforcing edge portion 26b, even if the orientation of the contents is disturbed while ensuring the strength necessary for welding to the container body 3, the disturbance is caused by the introduction hole 25. Can be rectified.

  As mentioned above, although this invention was demonstrated by the said embodiment, this invention is not limited to the said embodiment, In the range which does not change the summary of invention, it can change suitably.
