  In the above-described conventional discharge container, the content can be discharged onto the upper surface of the tray by pushing the tray downward, but the discharge amount easily changes depending on the force applied when the tray is pushed. Therefore, it has been difficult to discharge a fixed amount of contents.

  This invention is made | formed in view of such a situation, The objective is to provide the discharge container which can discharge the fixed content easily and stably.

  In order to solve the above problems, a discharge container according to the present invention includes a container body in which contents are stored, and a stem that is erected on the mouth of the container body so as to be movable downward in an upwardly biased state. And an exterior portion that is disposed above the stem and has a top wall portion through which a discharge hole penetrates in the vertical direction, and discharges contents from the discharge hole to a discharge surface facing upward in the top wall portion; An operating member that is disposed in the exterior portion, includes an engaging portion that is engaged with the stem and lowers the stem, and a pressing portion that protrudes radially outward from the exterior portion, and the operation member However, when the engaging part moves down from the discharge position for lowering the stem and discharging the contents from the stem, the engaging part formed on the operation member is engaged, This locking part is elastically displaced Characterized in that it comprises a and the engaged portion to release the engagement with respect to the stem.

According to the discharge container of the present invention, when the pressing member is pressed, when the operating member descends and reaches the discharge position, the locking portion provided in the operating member lowers the stem, and the contents from inside the stem. Is discharged, and the contents are discharged from the discharge hole in the top wall portion of the exterior portion to the discharge surface. When the pressing part is further pressed and the operating member moves below the discharge position, the engaging part of the operating member engages with the engaged part and elastically displaces the engaging part, thereby engaging the engaging part with the stem. The stop is released. As a result, the stem is restored and displaced upward, and the discharge of the contents from the stem stops. Accordingly, the discharge of the content from the discharge hole is stopped.
As described above, when the pressing portion of the operating member is pushed down, the discharge of the content from the discharge hole stops naturally, so that the fixed amount of content can be discharged from the container body easily and stably.
Also, when discharging the contents from the plurality of discharge holes onto the discharge surface, forming a plurality of modeling pieces on the discharge surface, and combining these modeling pieces on the discharge surface to form a modeled object, As described above, since the contents discharged from the container body can be quantified, the shaped article can be formed with high accuracy.

  The engaging portion may protrude downward from the locking portion.

  In this case, since the engaging portion protrudes downward from the locking portion, the operation of lowering the operating member can be efficiently converted into the operation of elastically displacing the locking portion, and the engagement in the radial direction can be achieved. It is possible to provide a compact discharge container by reducing the protrusion from the engaging portion of the joint portion.

  Further, the engaging portion is formed in a cylindrical shape having an inner diameter larger than the outer diameter of the stem and divided into a plurality in the circumferential direction, and the locking portion is formed on an inner peripheral surface of the engaging portion. May be.

In this case, the cylindrical engaging portion divided in the circumferential direction is easily elastically deformed in the radial direction. Moreover, since the latching | locking part is formed in the internal peripheral surface of an engaging part, if an engaging part elastically deforms to radial direction, a latching part will be elastically displaced to radial direction in connection with this.
Therefore, the locking of the locking portion with respect to the stem can be stably released as the operating member is lowered.

  The engaged portion may be formed in a cylindrical shape that surrounds the stem from the outside in the radial direction, and may be formed so that the outer diameter gradually decreases as it goes from below to above.

  In this case, since the outer diameter of the engaged portion is gradually reduced from the lower side toward the upper side, when the operating member moves downward from the discharge position, the engaging portion moves the outer peripheral surface of the engaged portion. By sliding, the engaging portion can be deformed toward the outside in the radial direction, and the locking portion can be stably elastically displaced toward the outside in the radial direction.

  Further, the operation member includes an inner dish arranged to be movable up and down in the exterior part, and the inner dish receives the contents from the stem between a supply surface facing downward in the top wall part. A diffusion chamber may be formed that diffuses in the radial direction and supplies the discharge holes.

  In this way, when the discharge container discharges the contents, the contents of the container body are discharged from the discharge holes after being diffused in the radial direction in the diffusion chamber. For example, the contents are biased from a part of the discharge holes. The ejection can be suppressed.

  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, the discharge container which can discharge the fixed content easily and stably can be provided.

The lower end portion of the urging member 32 is in contact with the upper surface of the flange portion 22.

  Next, the operation of the discharge container 10 according to this embodiment will be described.

  In the initial state before use of the discharge container 10, the operation member 31 is disposed at the standby position shown in FIG. When discharging the contents, the pressing portion 42 is pushed down to lower the operation member 31 toward the discharge position shown in FIG. Thereby, the internal volume of the diffusion chamber 51 located between the top wall portion 33 of the exterior portion 14 and the operation member 31 is increased, and the locking portion 45 is locked to the upper end portion of the stem 18. When the operation member 31 is further lowered, the stem 18 locked to the locking portion 45 is lowered against the upward biasing force, whereby the contents in the container body 11 a are discharged from the stem 18 and pass through the communication hole 46. It is supplied to the diffusion chamber 51. The contents supplied into the diffusion chamber 51 diffuse in the radial direction and are supplied from the supply surface 39 to the plurality of discharge holes 36. At this time, the contents discharged from the stem 18 are positively diffused in the radial direction by hitting the core body 35.

  Since the contents are foam, a highly viscous material, etc., and can retain the shape for at least a certain time after discharge, when the contents are discharged separately through the discharge holes 36, a plurality of shaped pieces Is formed. By combining these modeling pieces on the discharge surface 38, a modeled object is formed. In addition, the modeling piece modeled by the discharge holes 36 is formed long in the direction in which the discharge holes 36 extend (see FIG. 2) when the discharge surface 38 is viewed from above.

  When the pressing portion 42 is pushed further downward than the discharge position shown in FIG. 5, the lower end of the engaging portion 43 slides on the outer peripheral surface of the engaged portion 13a, and the radial direction as it descends. Elastically deforms to open to the outer periphery. At this time, as shown in FIG. 6, the locking portion 45 is elastically displaced toward the outer peripheral side in the radial direction. And if the latching | locking part 45 is elastically displaced to the outer peripheral side rather than the outer diameter of the stem 18, latching of the latching | locking part 45 and the stem 18 will be cancelled | released. Then, the stem 18 is raised by the upward biasing force acting on the stem 18, and the discharge of the contents from the stem 18 naturally stops. Accordingly, the supply of the content to the diffusion chamber 51 is also stopped, and the discharge of the content from the discharge hole 36 is also stopped naturally.

  Thereafter, when the push-down operation of the pressing portion 42 is released, the operation member 31 receives the upward biasing force from the biasing member 32 and moves upward with respect to the exterior portion 14 to be in the standby position shown in FIG. Displacement to restore. Then, as shown in FIG. 1, the volume of the diffusion chamber 51 decreases due to the operation member 31 coming into contact with or close to the supply surface 39, and the diffusion chamber 51 disappears substantially or completely. Therefore, even if the contents remain in the diffusion chamber 51 before the operation member 31 is raised, the contents are pushed out of the diffusion chamber 51 and discharged to the discharge surface 38 through the discharge holes 36. The

As described above, according to the discharge container 10 according to the present embodiment, when the operation member 31 moves downward from the discharge position, the engaging portion 43 and the engaged portion 13a are engaged and the locking portion 45 is engaged. By the elastic displacement, the locking of the locking portion 45 with respect to the stem 18 is released. Thereby, the stem 18 is restored and displaced upward, and the discharge of the contents from the stem 18 is stopped. Accordingly, the discharge of the contents from the discharge hole 36 is stopped.
In this way, when the pressing portion 42 of the operation member 31 is fully pressed, the discharge of the content from the discharge hole 36 naturally stops, so that a fixed amount of content can be discharged from the container body easily and stably. In addition, by discharging a fixed amount of contents, a shaped object can be formed on the discharge surface 38 with high accuracy.

  Further, since the engaging portion 43 protrudes downward from the locking portion 45, when the operation member 31 moves downward from the discharge position and the engaging portion 43 and the engaged portion 13a are engaged. The operation of lowering the operating member 31 can be efficiently converted into the operation of the locking portion 45 elastically displacing radially outward, and the protrusion of the locking portion 43 in the radial direction from the locking portion 45 is reduced. Thus, a compact discharge container 10 can be provided.

  Further, since the engaging portion 43 is formed in a cylindrical shape having an inner diameter larger than the outer diameter of the stem 18 and divided into a plurality of portions in the circumferential direction, the engaging portion 43 is elastically deformed toward the outer side in the radial direction. It's easy to do. Furthermore, since the locking portion 45 is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the engaging portion 43, the locking of the locking portion 45 with respect to the stem 18 can be stably released as the operation member 31 is lowered.

  In addition, the engaged portion 13a is formed in a cylindrical shape surrounding the stem from the outside in the radial direction and gradually decreases in diameter as the outer diameter increases from the lower side to the upper side. When it moves to, it becomes possible to slide the engaging part 43 to the outer peripheral surface of the to-be-engaged part 13a, and to deform | transform toward the outer side of radial direction, and to turn the latching | locking part 45 to the outer side of radial direction. And can be elastically displaced stably.

  Further, the operation member 31 includes an inner tray 41 that is arranged to be movable up and down in the exterior portion 14, and the intermediate tray 41 extends from the stem 18 between the supply surface 39 facing downward in the top wall portion 33. Since the diffusion chamber 51 that diffuses the contents in the radial direction and supplies them to the discharge holes 36 is formed, when the discharge container 10 discharges the contents, the contents of the container body 11 are radially aligned in the diffusion chamber 51. After being diffused, the liquid is discharged from the discharge hole 36. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the contents from being discharged from a part of the discharge hole 36 and to form the shaped object with high accuracy.

The technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
For example, in the above-described embodiment, the operation member 31 at the discharge position or the stop position is raised to the standby position by the urging member 32, but even if the operation member 31 is raised using the upward urging force acting on the stem 18. Good.
Further, in the above-described embodiment, the cylindrical engaging portion 43 divided in the circumferential direction is engaged with the engaged portion 13a formed in a slope shape, and the locking portion 45 is elastically displaced. As long as the locking portion 45 is elastically displaced as the member 31 descends, the arrangement and shape of the engaged portion 13a and the engaging portion 43 may be changed as appropriate.

In the above embodiment, the diffusion chamber 51 is formed between the operation member 31 and the exterior portion 14, but a configuration in which no diffusion chamber is formed may be employed.
Further, the number and shape of the discharge holes 36 can be appropriately changed depending on the shape of a model to be modeled by the discharge container 10 and the usage of the contents to be discharged. For example, the number of the discharge holes 36 is one. May be.
In addition, by changing the number and shape of the discharge holes 36 or the shape of the hole row 40, it is possible to form a character, a logotype, or the like as a modeled object.
In addition, the contents may be simply discharged without forming a molded article on the discharge surface 38.
Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the aerosol can was employ | adopted as the discharge container main body 19, this invention is not limited to this. For example, as the discharge container main body 19, the structure provided with the discharge device 12 which has a pump mechanism is also employable.

  In addition, it is possible to appropriately replace the constituent elements in the above-described embodiments with well-known constituent elements without departing from the spirit of the present invention, and the above-described examples and modifications may be appropriately combined.
