Description

本発明は、容器本体に装着することで定量注出容器を構成することができ、容器本体内に充填されている液体から所定量の液体を正確に計量した上で注出し得る定量注出装置に関する。 INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY According to the present invention, a quantitative injection container can be configured by attaching it to a container body, and a quantitative injection device capable of accurately measuring a predetermined amount of liquid from the liquid filled in the container body and then injecting the liquid. Regarding.

内部に充填された育毛剤等の液体から所定量を計量し、計量した所定量の液体だけを注出可能にするための定量注出容器として、種々のものが提案されている。 Various quantitative injection containers have been proposed for measuring a predetermined amount from a liquid such as a hair restorer filled inside and enabling only the measured predetermined amount of liquid to be dispensed.

例えば、下記の特許文献1では、次の定量注出容器が開示されている(例えば、同文献1の図1及び段落0012〜0014参照)。すなわち、正立状態から倒立状態に上下逆転させて、壜体8内に充填された液体を計量室A側空間に流入させて充満させた上で、正立状態に復帰させれば、余分な液体が壜体8側に流れ落ちて戻され、計量室A内には所定量の液体だけが残って計量される。この状態で、操作体5を回転操作して、切替体4と弁体6とを回転上昇させて壜体8側と計量室A側との間を遮断した後、再度、倒立状態にすれば、計量室A内の所定量の液体を抽出口から塗布し得る、というものが開示されている。 For example, Patent Document 1 below discloses the following quantitative dispensing container (see, for example, FIG. 1 and paragraphs 0012 to 0014 of the same document 1). That is, if the upright state is turned upside down, the liquid filled in the bottle 8 is allowed to flow into the space on the measuring chamber A side to fill it, and then the bottle body 8 is returned to the upright state. The liquid flows down to the bottle 8 side and is returned, and only a predetermined amount of liquid remains in the measuring chamber A and is weighed. In this state, if the operating body 5 is rotated to rotate and raise the switching body 4 and the valve body 6 to cut off the space between the bottle body 8 side and the measuring chamber A side, the switching body 4 and the valve body 6 are put into the inverted state again. , A predetermined amount of liquid in the measuring chamber A can be applied from the extraction port.

又、特許文献2では、次の定量注出容器が開示されている(例えば、同文献2の図1,図2及び段落0014等参照)。すなわち、計量液貯留筒21を回転操作することで、計量液貯留筒21をこれが螺合している連結筒6から回転上昇させ、これにより、計量室形成短筒9の上部を開口させる。この状態で、全体を正立状態から倒立状態に上下逆転させることで計量室12側空間に液体を流入させた後に、再度、正立状態に復帰させれば、余分な液体が容器体1側に流れ落ちて戻され、計量室12内に所定量の液体だけが残って計量される。そして、この状態で計量液保留筒21を前記とは逆方向に回転操作することで、計量液貯留筒21を回転下降させ、これにより、計量室形成短筒9の上部に栓体35で閉塞する。その上で、再度、倒立状態に上下逆転させて使用する、というものが開示されている。 Further, Patent Document 2 discloses the following quantitative injection container (see, for example, FIGS. 1, 2 and 0014 of the same document 2). That is, by rotating the measuring liquid storage cylinder 21, the measuring liquid storage cylinder 21 is rotated and raised from the connecting cylinder 6 to which the measuring liquid storage cylinder 21 is screwed, thereby opening the upper portion of the measuring chamber forming short cylinder 9. In this state, if the liquid is allowed to flow into the space on the measuring chamber 12 side by turning the whole upside down from the upright state to the upside down state and then returned to the upright state again, the excess liquid will be on the container body 1 side. Only a predetermined amount of liquid remains in the measuring chamber 12 and is weighed. Then, in this state, the measuring liquid holding cylinder 21 is rotated in the direction opposite to the above to rotate and lower the measuring liquid storage cylinder 21, whereby the measuring chamber forming short cylinder 9 is closed by the plug 35. To do. On top of that, it is disclosed that it is used by turning it upside down again in an inverted state.

さらに、特許文献3では、次の定量注出容器が開示されている(例えば、同文献3の図1,図3〜図5)。すなわち、正立状態から倒立状態に上下逆転させて、容器体2内に充填された液体を液導入孔7を通して計量室B側空間に流入させた上で、正立状態に復帰させれば、余分な液体が容器体2側に流れ落ちて戻され、計量室B内に所定量の液体だけが残って計量される。この状態で、可動部Eを定位置回転操作して回動筒17を共回りされることで液導入孔7を閉止した後、再度、倒立状態にすれば、計量室A内の所定量の液体を抽出口から塗布し得る、というものが開示されている。 Further, Patent Document 3 discloses the following quantitative injection container (for example, FIGS. 1, 3 to 5 of the same document 3). That is, if the container body 2 is turned upside down from the upright state, the liquid filled in the container body 2 is allowed to flow into the space on the measuring chamber B side through the liquid introduction hole 7, and then the container body 2 is returned to the upright state. The excess liquid flows down to the container body 2 side and is returned, and only a predetermined amount of liquid remains in the measuring chamber B and is weighed. In this state, the movable portion E is rotated at a fixed position to rotate the rotating cylinder 17 together to close the liquid introduction hole 7, and then the liquid introduction hole 7 is turned upside down again to obtain a predetermined amount in the measuring chamber A. It is disclosed that the liquid can be applied from the extraction port.

しかしながら、従来の定量注出容器を構成する定量注出装置においては、計量及び計量した液体の注出までにユーザーが行うべき操作に手間がかかる他、種々の不都合を抱えている。 However, the fixed-quantity dispensing device constituting the conventional fixed-quantity dispensing container has various inconveniences in addition to the time and effort required for the operation to be performed by the user before weighing and pouring the measured liquid.

すなわち、倒立状態にして液体を注出させて使用するためには、その前に、1回に使用すべき所定量の液体の計量のために、正立状態から倒立状態にした上で、再度、正立状態に復帰させるという操作が必要になる。このため、計量操作に手間がかかることになる。しかも、正立状態に復帰させる操作を慌てて行うと、計量室にすり切り状態で収容されている液面が揺れて流れ落ちてしまうおそれがある。特に、計量室において自由液面の状態で液体が収容された状態となるため、計量室側空間を容器本体側と遮断するための操作が完了するまで、細心の注意をもって取り扱わないと、前記と同様に計量室内の液体が流れ落ち易くなる。このため、所定量の液体を計量するという計量機能自体の正確性について不確実さを抱えているという不都合がある。 That is, in order to use the liquid in the inverted state by pouring out the liquid, the liquid is changed from the upright state to the inverted state again in order to measure a predetermined amount of the liquid to be used at one time. , It is necessary to return to the upright state. Therefore, the weighing operation is troublesome. Moreover, if the operation of returning to the upright state is performed in a hurry, the liquid level contained in the measuring chamber in the worn state may shake and flow down. In particular, since the liquid is stored in the measuring chamber with a free liquid level, it must be handled with the utmost care until the operation for shutting off the space on the measuring chamber side from the container body side is completed. Similarly, the liquid in the measuring chamber tends to flow down. Therefore, there is an inconvenience that there is uncertainty about the accuracy of the measuring function itself of measuring a predetermined amount of liquid.

又、計量後に、液体が充填されている容器本体側の空間と、計量室側の空間とを互いに遮断したとしても、その遮断手法がいずれか一方の空間側から他方の空間側に対し栓体等を嵌入させる等の手段により開口を閉止させるという手法を用いると、計量室側の空間に内圧変動が生じてしまい、この内圧変動に起因して液漏れや使用時に液体が勢いよく飛び出してしまう等の不都合を引き起こすおそれがある。特に、液体が揮発性のものであると、計量室に収容された液体の自由液面から計量室側の空間に揮発し、より大きな内圧変動を生じさせ、前記の不都合の度合も増大してしまうことになる。 Further, even if the space on the container body side filled with the liquid and the space on the measuring chamber side are blocked from each other after weighing, the blocking method is a plug from one space side to the other space side. If the method of closing the opening by means such as fitting the liquid into the measuring chamber is used, the internal pressure fluctuates in the space on the measuring chamber side, and the liquid leaks or the liquid vigorously pops out during use due to the internal pressure fluctuation. It may cause inconvenience such as. In particular, if the liquid is volatile, it volatilizes from the free liquid surface of the liquid contained in the measuring chamber to the space on the measuring chamber side, causing a larger internal pressure fluctuation, and the degree of the above-mentioned inconvenience increases. It will end up.

このような内圧変動の解除のために、前記の特許文献3ではノズルの口頸部3に装着させた棒栓6に通気路11を形成し、正立状態と倒立状態との間の状態移行時に内外を連通させるための弁体12を通気路11に嵌合させることが提案されている(特許文献3の図1及び段落0021参照)。しかしながら、部品点数の増大化のみならず、構造の複雑化により作動不良を招くおそれがある。 In order to release such an internal pressure fluctuation, in Patent Document 3, a ventilation path 11 is formed in a rod plug 6 attached to the mouth neck 3 of the nozzle, and a state shift between an upright state and an inverted state is performed. It has been proposed that a valve body 12 for communicating inside and outside is sometimes fitted in the air passage 11 (see FIG. 1 and paragraph 0021 of Patent Document 3). However, not only the number of parts is increased, but also the structure is complicated, which may lead to malfunction.

さらに、非使用時である保管時には、横倒し等のどのような状態にしたとしても、容器本体側から計量室側空間に液体が流れ込まないようにして、密封性を高めることが求められる。 Further, during storage when not in use, it is required to improve the sealing property by preventing the liquid from flowing into the space on the measuring chamber side from the container main body side regardless of the state such as lying down.

本発明は、このような事情に鑑みてなされたものであり、その目的とするところは、以上の如き不都合を解消し得る定量注出装置を提供することにある。すなわち、計量及び計量後の液体の注出という使用操作の手間を省き、液漏れのおそれのない確実な保管状態を維持しつつ、正確な計量と、容易かつ確実な使用とを図り得る定量注出装置を提供することにある。 The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a quantitative injection device capable of eliminating the above-mentioned inconveniences. That is, quantitative injection that enables accurate measurement and easy and reliable use while eliminating the trouble of measurement and injection of liquid after measurement and maintaining a reliable storage state without risk of liquid leakage. The purpose is to provide a discharge device.

本発明では、液体を収容するための容器本体に装着して用いられる定量注出装置を対象にして、次の技術的手段を講じた。すなわち、先端部に連通孔が形成された筒体部を有し、前記容器本体の口部に装着可能であって装着されると前記容器本体内と連通することになる口部部材と、前記筒体部に外挿された状態で前記口部部材に対し螺合されて回転作動により前記連通孔に対し近接離反方向に進退可能なスライダーと、先端部に開閉切換可能なノズル孔及びこのノズル孔に臨む空間内に区画形成された計量室を有し、前記口部部材に対し定位置回転可能に結合されるノズルカバーと、を備えることとした。そして、前記スライダーとして、前記ノズルカバーと回転力が伝達可能に係合され、前記ノズルカバーからの回転力の伝達を受けて回転作動されることにより、前記連通孔を遮蔽して閉止する後退位置と、前記連通孔を開放する前進位置との間で進退作動可能に構成し、かつ、前記後退位置において前記ノズル孔を臨む空間を計量すべき所定の容積に区画して仕切るように構成することとした(請求項1)。 In the present invention, the following technical measures have been taken for a quantitative injection device used by being attached to a container body for containing a liquid. That is, a mouth member having a tubular body portion having a communication hole formed at the tip portion, which can be attached to the mouth portion of the container body and communicates with the inside of the container body when attached, and the mouth member. A slider that is screwed into the mouth member while being externally attached to the tubular body and can advance and retreat in the direction of approaching and separating from the communication hole by rotational operation, a nozzle hole that can be opened and closed at the tip, and this nozzle. It has a measuring chamber formed in a space facing the hole, and is provided with a nozzle cover that is rotatably connected to the mouth member at a fixed position. Then, as the slider, a rotational force is transmissively engaged with the nozzle cover, and the rotational force is transmitted from the nozzle cover to rotate the nozzle cover, thereby shielding the communication hole and closing the retracting position. The space facing the nozzle hole at the retreat position is divided into a predetermined volume to be weighed and partitioned so as to be able to move forward and backward between the and the advance position where the communication hole is opened. (Claim 1).

本発明の場合、液体を充填させた容器本体内に対し、本定量注出装置を装着すると定量注出容器となる。そして、ノズルカバーを所定回転方向に回転操作すると、その回転操作力がノズルカバーからスライダーに伝達され、スライダーは回転作動される。このスライダーの回転作動により、スライダーは後退位置から前進位置まで移動して連通孔が開放される。これにより、計量室と、口部部材内を介して容器本体内とが連通した状態になる。そこで、全体を正立状態から倒立状態に変換すると、容器本体内の液体が連通孔を通して計量室内に流入して充満する。次に、ノズルカバーを前記回転方向とは逆向きに回転操作すれば、スライダーも同期して逆回転方向に回転作動され、スライダーは前進位置から後退位置に復帰して連通孔は閉止状態に変換される。これにより、計量室内には計量室の容積に相当する所定量の液体が分離収容されるため、ノズル孔を開切換すれば、計量室内に充満状態で計量された所定量の液体の注出が可能となる。以上の本発明によれば、正立状態での回転操作の後に倒立状態にして、倒立状態のまま、逆回転方向に回転操作するだけで計量操作が完了し、そのまま注出操作が可能となる。このため、従来の如く、正立状態から倒立状態にした後、倒立状態から正立状態に戻して計量、そして、再度、正立状態から倒立状態にして注出操作、というような二度手間的な操作を省力化し得る。そして、使用後に正立状態に戻しても、既に、連通孔は閉止状態に復帰されているため、容器本体内の液体を密封状態に維持し、そのままの状態で保管が可能となる。 In the case of the present invention, when the present quantitative injection device is attached to the inside of the container body filled with the liquid, it becomes a quantitative injection container. Then, when the nozzle cover is rotated in a predetermined rotation direction, the rotation operation force is transmitted from the nozzle cover to the slider, and the slider is rotated. By the rotational operation of this slider, the slider moves from the backward position to the forward position, and the communication hole is opened. As a result, the measuring chamber and the inside of the container body are in communication with each other via the inside of the mouth member. Therefore, when the entire container is converted from the upright state to the inverted state, the liquid in the container body flows into the measuring chamber through the communication hole and fills the container body. Next, if the nozzle cover is rotated in the direction opposite to the rotation direction, the slider is also rotated in the reverse rotation direction in synchronization, the slider returns from the forward position to the backward position, and the communication hole is converted to the closed state. Will be done. As a result, a predetermined amount of liquid corresponding to the volume of the measuring chamber is separated and stored in the measuring chamber. Therefore, if the nozzle hole is opened and switched, the predetermined amount of liquid measured in a filled state in the measuring chamber can be poured out. It will be possible. According to the above invention, the weighing operation is completed only by rotating the head in the inverted state after the rotation operation in the upright state and rotating the machine in the reverse rotation direction while the head is in the inverted state, and the pouring operation can be performed as it is. .. For this reason, as in the past, after changing from an upright state to an inverted state, returning from an inverted state to an upright state for weighing, and then changing from an upright state to an inverted state and performing a pouring operation twice. Labor can be saved. Then, even if the container is returned to the upright state after use, the communication holes have already been returned to the closed state, so that the liquid in the container body can be maintained in a sealed state and stored as it is.

本発明の定量注出装置において、筒体部の連通孔を近接離反方向に直交する先端面に開口させる一方、スライダーとして、前記筒体部の先端面に対し近接離反方向に相対向する対向面を有するものとし、かつ、後退位置において、その対向面が筒体部の先端面を遮蔽することで連通孔を閉止する構成とすることができる(請求項2)。このようにすることにより、スライダーが後退位置にあるときには、連通孔が形成された筒体部の先端面をスライダーの対向面が遮蔽することで、連通孔が閉止されることになる。つまり、スライダーの進退移動方向である近接離反方向に直交する相対向面(筒体部の先端面とスライダーの対向面)同士の接触により、連通孔が閉止されることになる。このため、連通孔の閉止をより確実に行うことが可能となり、密封性を高め得る。 In the quantitative injection device of the present invention, the communication hole of the tubular body portion is opened on the tip surface orthogonal to the proximity separation direction, while the facing surface facing the tip surface of the cylinder portion in the proximity separation direction as a slider. And, in the retracted position, the facing surface may shield the tip surface of the tubular body portion to close the communication hole (claim 2). By doing so, when the slider is in the retracted position, the communication hole is closed by the facing surface of the slider shielding the tip surface of the tubular portion in which the communication hole is formed. That is, the communication holes are closed by the contact between the facing surfaces (the tip surface of the tubular body and the facing surface of the slider) orthogonal to the proximity and separation directions, which are the moving directions of the slider. Therefore, the communication holes can be closed more reliably, and the sealing property can be improved.

さらに、この場合、スライダーとして、先端部を備えた筒状に構成し、この先端部内の底面によって前記対向面を構成し、この底面に対し、近接離反方向に投影したとき連通孔と重ならない部位に透孔を形成するようにすることができる(請求項3)。このようにすることにより、スライダーが後退位置にあって、その対向面が筒体部の先端面を遮蔽して連通孔が閉止されたときには、スライダー側の透孔を連通孔と確実に遮断された状態にすることが可能となる。その一方、スライダーが前進位置にあって、その対向面が筒体部の先端面から離れて連通孔が開放されたときには、スライダー側の透孔を連通孔と確実に連通した状態に変換させることが可能になる。 Further, in this case, the slider is formed in a tubular shape having a tip portion, and the facing surface is formed by the bottom surface in the tip portion, and the portion that does not overlap with the communication hole when projected in the proximity separation direction with respect to the bottom surface. It is possible to form a through hole in the (claim 3). By doing so, when the slider is in the retracted position and its facing surface shields the tip surface of the tubular body portion and the communication hole is closed, the through hole on the slider side is reliably blocked from the communication hole. It is possible to make it in a state of being. On the other hand, when the slider is in the forward position and the facing surface is separated from the tip surface of the tubular body to open the communication hole, the through hole on the slider side is converted into a state in which the communication hole is reliably communicated with the communication hole. Becomes possible.

又、本発明の定量注出装置において、ノズルカバーと口部部材との間、又は、スライダーと口部部材との間のいずれか一方に、スライダーの回転移動量を後退位置と前進位置との間の進退移動量と対応するように規制するためのストッパを設けるようにすることができる(請求項4)。このようにすることにより、ノズルカバーの回転操作量をユーザー自身が調整する必要なく、ストッパにより規制される位置まで回転操作するだけで、スライダーを確実に後退位置や前進位置の各位置まで進退移動させることが可能となる。 Further, in the quantitative injection device of the present invention, the amount of rotational movement of the slider is set between the retracted position and the forward position in either the nozzle cover and the mouth member or between the slider and the mouth member. It is possible to provide a stopper for regulating the amount of advancing / retreating movement between them (claim 4). By doing so, the user does not have to adjust the rotation operation amount of the nozzle cover by himself, and the slider can be reliably moved forward and backward to each position of the backward position and the forward position simply by rotating the nozzle cover to the position regulated by the stopper. It becomes possible to make it.

本発明の定量注出装置において、さらに、ノズル孔を計量室側から閉止する弁体と、スライダー又は弁体のいずれか一方又は双方から突出し、スライダーが前進位置にあるときに当接することにより弁体の計量室側への後退を阻止するための凸部とを備えるようにすることができる(請求項5)。このようにすることにより、計量のために、スライダーが回転作動されてスライダーが前進位置に移動すれば、連通孔が開放されて計量室側と口部部材及び容器本体側とが互いに連通状態になると同時に、凸部が弁体に当接し、この凸部により弁体の後退側への移動が阻止されることになる。このため、ノズル孔が確実に閉状態にロックされることになり、例えば、容器本体を倒立状態に変換するなどの作業の際に弁体に触れたり等したとしても、弁体が後退することはなく、これにより、計量室からの液漏れ等の不都合の発生を確実に回避した状態で、倒立状態への変換作業を行い得ることになる。 In the quantitative injection device of the present invention, a valve body that closes the nozzle hole from the measuring chamber side and a valve that protrudes from one or both of the slider and the valve body and abuts when the slider is in the forward position. A convex portion for preventing the body from retreating toward the measuring chamber side can be provided (claim 5). By doing so, when the slider is rotated and moved to the forward position for weighing, the communication hole is opened and the measuring chamber side and the mouth member and the container body side are in a communicating state with each other. At the same time, the convex portion abuts on the valve body, and the convex portion prevents the valve body from moving to the retracting side. Therefore, the nozzle hole is surely locked in the closed state, and even if the valve body is touched during work such as converting the container body to the inverted state, the valve body retracts. However, this makes it possible to perform the conversion work to the inverted state while surely avoiding the occurrence of inconvenience such as liquid leakage from the measuring chamber.

さらに、本発明の定量注出装置において、ノズルカバーを覆うように口部部材に螺合されるキャップを備え、キャップとして、ノズルカバーと回転力が伝達可能に係合させるとともに、口部部材にねじ込まれてノズルカバーを覆った閉キャップ状態においてスライダーが後退位置に設定されるようにノズルカバー及びスライダーと係合させる一方、閉キャップ状態から開方向への回転操作によりスライダーが前進位置に位置変換されるように回転操作量とスライダーの進退移動量とを対応付けるようにすることができる(請求項6)。このようにすることにより、閉キャップ状態からキャップを開方向に回転操作すれば、その回転力がノズルカバーを介してスライダーに伝達され、スライダーを前進位置に位置変換させることが可能となる。逆に、キャップをノズルカバーに被せて逆方向に回転操作すれば、キャップはノズルカバーが覆われた閉キャップ状態に至り、スライダーは後退位置に位置変換させることが可能となる。以上より、閉キャップ状態にあれば、スライダーは後退位置に位置付けられて連通孔が閉止され、確実に液漏れ等の無い保管状態に維持可能となり、又、閉キャップ状態から開方向に回転操作すれば、スライダーを前進位置に位置変換させて連通孔が開放され、以後の計量が可能となり、さらに、注出使用後にキャップを被せて閉キャップ状態にすれば、スライダーは後退位置に戻って連通孔を閉止させることが可能となる。 Further, in the quantitative injection device of the present invention, a cap screwed into the mouth member so as to cover the nozzle cover is provided, and the cap is engaged with the nozzle cover so that the rotational force can be transmitted and is attached to the mouth member. While the slider is engaged with the nozzle cover and slider so that the slider is set to the retracted position in the closed cap state where it is screwed in and covers the nozzle cover, the slider is repositioned to the forward position by the rotation operation from the closed cap state to the open direction. It is possible to associate the rotation operation amount with the advance / retreat movement amount of the slider so as to be performed (claim 6). By doing so, if the cap is rotated in the opening direction from the closed cap state, the rotational force is transmitted to the slider via the nozzle cover, and the slider can be repositioned to the forward position. On the contrary, if the cap is put on the nozzle cover and rotated in the opposite direction, the cap reaches the closed cap state in which the nozzle cover is covered, and the slider can be repositioned to the retracted position. From the above, if the slider is in the closed cap state, the slider is positioned in the retracted position and the communication hole is closed, so that the storage state can be reliably maintained without liquid leakage, and the slider can be rotated in the opening direction from the closed cap state. For example, if the slider is repositioned to the forward position and the communication hole is opened, subsequent weighing is possible, and if the slider is covered with a cap to close the cap after the injection is used, the slider returns to the backward position and the communication hole is opened. Can be closed.

以上、説明したように、本発明の定量注出装置によれば、液体を充填させた容器本体内に対し、本発明の定量注出装置を装着すれば、定量注出容器を即座に構成することができる。そして、ノズルカバーを所定回転方向に回転操作すると、その回転操作力がノズルカバーからスライダーに伝達され、スライダーを回転作動させることができ、この回転作動により、スライダーを後退位置から前進位置まで移動して連通孔を開放させることができる。これにより、計量室と、口部部材内を介して容器本体内とが連通した状態にすることができる。そこで、全体を正立状態から倒立状態に変換すると、容器本体内の液体が連通孔を通して計量室内に流入して充満し、次に、ノズルカバーを前記回転方向とは逆向きに回転操作することにより、スライダーを同期し逆回転方向に回転作動させる。これにより、スライダーが前進位置から後退位置に復帰して連通孔が閉止状態に変換され、計量室内に、計量室の容積に相当する所定量の液体を分離収容させることができる。そして、ノズル孔を開切換すれば、計量室内に充満状態で計量された所定量の液体を注出させることができるようになる。以上の本発明によれば、回転操作の後に倒立状態にし、倒立状態のまま、逆回転方向に回転操作するだけで計量操作を完了させることができ、そのまま注出操作を行うことができる。このため、従来の如く、正立状態から倒立状態にした後、倒立状態から正立状態に戻して計量、そして、再度、正立状態から倒立状態にして注出操作、というような二度手間的な操作を省力化することができる。加えて、使用後に正立状態に戻しても、既に、連通孔は閉止状態に復帰されているため、容器本体内の液体を密封状態に維持することができ、たとえ転倒させたとしても液漏れすることなく、確実に保管することができるようになる。 As described above, according to the quantitative injection device of the present invention, if the quantitative injection device of the present invention is attached to the inside of the container body filled with the liquid, the quantitative injection container is immediately configured. be able to. Then, when the nozzle cover is rotated in a predetermined rotation direction, the rotation operation force is transmitted from the nozzle cover to the slider, and the slider can be rotationally operated. By this rotational operation, the slider is moved from the backward position to the forward position. The communication hole can be opened. As a result, the measuring chamber and the inside of the container body can be communicated with each other via the inside of the mouth member. Therefore, when the entire container is converted from the upright state to the inverted state, the liquid in the container body flows into the measuring chamber through the communication hole to fill it, and then the nozzle cover is rotated in the direction opposite to the rotation direction. As a result, the slider is synchronized and rotated in the reverse rotation direction. As a result, the slider returns from the forward position to the backward position, the communication hole is converted to the closed state, and a predetermined amount of liquid corresponding to the volume of the measuring chamber can be separated and accommodated in the measuring chamber. Then, if the nozzle holes are opened and switched, a predetermined amount of liquid measured in a filled state can be poured out into the measuring chamber. According to the above invention, the weighing operation can be completed only by turning the machine into an inverted state after the rotation operation and rotating the machine in the reverse rotation direction while keeping the inverted state, and the pouring operation can be performed as it is. For this reason, as in the past, after changing from an upright state to an inverted state, returning from an inverted state to an upright state for weighing, and then changing from an upright state to an inverted state and performing a pouring operation twice. Labor can be saved. In addition, even if the container is returned to the upright state after use, the communication holes have already been returned to the closed state, so that the liquid in the container body can be maintained in a sealed state, and even if the container is turned over, the liquid leaks. You will be able to store it securely without having to do it.

以下、本発明の実施形態を図面に基づいて説明する。 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

図1及び図2は本発明の一実施形態に係る定量注出装置1を装着した定量注出容器を示している。定量注出容器は、非使用時には内部に液体(例えば育毛剤等の液剤)が充填された状態で保管され、使用時には内部の液体から計量された一定量の液体だけを注出(塗布)し得るようにしたものである。そして、この定量注出容器は、正立状態から1度だけ倒立状態にすれば、そのままの状態で計量と注出とが可能になるものである。これにより、従来の如く、正立状態から倒立状態にし、さらに倒立状態から正立状態に戻すことで計量し、再度、倒立状態にした上で注出が可能となる、というような二度手間的な使用時操作をすることなく、計量及び注出を容易に可能となしたものである。なお、内部に充填される液体に制限はなく、特に育毛剤等の高揮発性の液剤であっても、不都合を何ら生じさせることなく、液漏れのおそれのない確実な保管状態を維持しつつ、正確な計量と、容易かつ確実な注出とを図り得るものである。以下の説明では、図1に示す状態を正立状態といい、天地逆転させた状態を倒立状態という。軸Xは定量注出装置の中心軸であり、軸X方向が後述のスライダー4が進退する近接離反方向である。正立状態において軸Xは上下方向に延び、軸X方向の進退移動である「昇降」の内、「昇」とは軸Xに沿って図1の上方に移動することを、「降」とは同様に下方に移動することをいう。 1 and 2 show a quantitative injection container equipped with the quantitative injection device 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention. When not in use, the quantitative injection container is stored with a liquid (for example, a liquid such as a hair restorer) filled inside, and when in use, only a certain amount of liquid measured from the internal liquid is injected (applied). I tried to get it. Then, this fixed-quantity pouring container can be weighed and dispensed as it is by turning it upside down only once from the upright state. As a result, as in the past, it is possible to perform the weighing by changing from the upright state to the inverted state, and then returning from the inverted state to the upright state, and then turning it into the inverted state again before pouring. It enables easy weighing and pouring without any special operation during use. There is no limit to the liquid that can be filled inside, and even if it is a highly volatile liquid such as a hair restorer, it will not cause any inconvenience and will maintain a reliable storage state without the risk of liquid leakage. Accurate weighing and easy and reliable pouring can be achieved. In the following description, the state shown in FIG. 1 is referred to as an upright state, and the state in which the top and bottom are reversed is referred to as an inverted state. The axis X is the central axis of the quantitative injection device, and the axis X direction is the proximity separation direction in which the slider 4 described later advances and retreats. In the upright state, the axis X extends in the vertical direction, and among the "up and down" movements in the axis X direction, "ascending" means moving upward along the axis X as "descending". Similarly means to move downward.

定量注出容器は、液体Qが充填される容器本体2と、容器本体2の口部21に対し上下方向(軸X方向)への相対移動不能に結合される口部部材3と、口部部材3に対し螺合により昇降可能(軸X方向へ進退可能)に結合される筒状のスライダー4と、口部部材3に対し上下方向に定位置で回転可能に結合され、かつ、前記スライダー4に対し昇降のための回転力を伝達可能に係合されるノズルカバー5と、ノズルカバー5の上部内に装着され、ノズル孔50を開閉するためのものであって上向きの付勢力によりノズル孔50を閉状態に維持するスプリングバルブ6と、口部部材3に対し螺合により着脱可能に結合され、かつ、ノズルカバー5に対し回転操作力を伝達可能に関係付けられるキャップ7とを備えて構成されている。本実施形態では、以上の口部部材3、スライダー4、ノズルカバー5、スプリングバルブ6及びキャップ7によって、定量注出装置1が構成されている。 The fixed-quantity pouring container includes a container body 2 filled with liquid Q, a mouth member 3 that is coupled to the mouth 21 of the container body 2 so as not to be relatively movable in the vertical direction (axis X direction), and a mouth portion. A tubular slider 4 that is screwed up and down (advanced and retracted in the axis X direction) to the member 3 and a slider that is rotatably connected to the mouth member 3 in a fixed position in the vertical direction. A nozzle cover 5 that is engaged with 4 so as to be able to transmit a rotational force for raising and lowering, and a nozzle that is mounted in the upper part of the nozzle cover 5 and is used to open and close the nozzle hole 50. It is provided with a spring valve 6 that keeps the hole 50 in a closed state, and a cap 7 that is detachably connected to the mouth member 3 by screwing and is related to the nozzle cover 5 so that the rotational operation force can be transmitted. It is composed of. In the present embodiment, the quantitative injection device 1 is composed of the mouth member 3, the slider 4, the nozzle cover 5, the spring valve 6 and the cap 7.

定量注出装置1は、以下の詳細な説明により明らかなように、スライダー4が、内周側を口部部材3によりシールされ、かつ、外周側をノズルカバー5によりシールされた状態で、軸Xに沿って昇降移動することにより、口部部材3内(容器本体2内の空間)と、ノズルカバー5の上部内(後述の計量室54内の空間)との間を連通・非連通の各状態に相互に切換可能に構成したものである。加えて、スライダー4の昇降作動が、キャップ7に対する回転操作力をノズルカバー5を介してスライダー4に伝達することにより、あるいは、キャップ7が無くてもノズルカバー5に対する回転操作力をスライダー4に伝達することにより、可能となるように構成したものである。なお、以上の各構成要素はいずれも合成樹脂成形により形成することができ、容器本体2についてはガラス製の瓶体等により形成することもできる。 As will be clear from the detailed description below, the quantitative injection device 1 has a shaft in which the slider 4 is sealed by the mouth member 3 on the inner peripheral side and by the nozzle cover 5 on the outer peripheral side. By moving up and down along X, communication / non-communication between the inside of the mouth member 3 (the space inside the container body 2) and the inside of the upper part of the nozzle cover 5 (the space inside the measuring chamber 54 described later) is established. It is configured so that it can be switched to each state. In addition, the elevating operation of the slider 4 transmits the rotational operation force on the cap 7 to the slider 4 via the nozzle cover 5, or even without the cap 7, the rotational operation force on the nozzle cover 5 is transmitted to the slider 4. It is configured to be possible by communicating. All of the above components can be formed by synthetic resin molding, and the container body 2 can also be formed by a glass bottle or the like.

口部部材3(図3も併せて参照)は、容器本体2の口部21の開口端面に当接可能な環状板部30と、環状板部30から軸Xと同軸上にそれぞれ下向きに延びる中足筒31、下内筒32及び下外筒33と、同様に環状板部30から軸Xと同軸上にそれぞれ上向きに延びる上内筒34及び上外筒35とを一体に備えて構成されている。 The mouth member 3 (see also FIG. 3) extends downward from the annular plate portion 30 capable of contacting the open end surface of the mouth portion 21 of the container body 2 and the annular plate portion 30 coaxially with the axis X, respectively. The middle foot cylinder 31, the lower inner cylinder 32, and the lower outer cylinder 33, and similarly, the upper inner cylinder 34 and the upper outer cylinder 35 extending upward coaxially with the axis X from the annular plate portion 30 are integrally provided. ing.

中足筒31は、口部21内に対し上から圧入されて、環状板部30が口部21の開口端面に当接した状態では、その外周面が口部21の内周面に圧接状態で組み付けられるようになっている。これにより、容器本体2と口部部材3との間の接合面がシールされる。又、下内筒32は、口部21に対し外嵌されることにより、上下方向に対し相対移動不能な状態で容器本体2と結合されるようになっている。この相対移動不能な結合は、下内筒32の内周面と、口部21の外周面との間でのアンダーカット嵌合により行われる。すなわち、下内筒32の下端部から内周側に突出するリップ部321が、口部21の外周面から外周側に突出して下向き段差面が形成された凸条211を、素材の有する弾性に基づき上から乗り越えて互いに係合することにより結合される。 The midfoot cylinder 31 is press-fitted into the mouth portion 21 from above, and when the annular plate portion 30 is in contact with the open end surface of the mouth portion 21, the outer peripheral surface thereof is in a pressure contact state with the inner peripheral surface of the mouth portion 21. It can be assembled with. As a result, the joint surface between the container body 2 and the mouth member 3 is sealed. Further, the lower inner cylinder 32 is fitted to the mouth portion 21 so as to be coupled to the container body 2 in a state where it cannot move relative to the vertical direction. This relative immovable coupling is performed by undercut fitting between the inner peripheral surface of the lower inner cylinder 32 and the outer peripheral surface of the mouth portion 21. That is, the lip portion 321 projecting from the lower end portion of the lower inner cylinder 32 to the inner peripheral side makes the convex strip 211 projecting from the outer peripheral surface of the mouth portion 21 toward the outer peripheral side to form a downward stepped surface to have elasticity of the material. It is connected by overcoming from above and engaging with each other.

又、下外筒33の外周面には、所定ピッチのネジ溝331が形成され、キャップ7(図1参照)の後述のネジ山741が螺合されるようになっている。このネジ溝331とネジ山741との組み合わせにより、キャップ7が所定位置から軸X回りに所定回転角度(例えば90度)回転操作されると、キャップ7のネジ山741がネジ溝331から離脱してキャップ7が離脱し得るようになっている。さらに、下外筒33の内周面と口部21の外周面との間で軸X回りの回転止めがなされている。すなわち、詳細な図示を省略するが、口部21の外周面には外周側に突出するフランジ212が形成され、その周方向一部を切り欠いて上下に開放する溝となし、下外筒33の内周面には内周側に突出して上下方向に延びる縦リブが形成され、この縦リブを上から前記溝に差し込むことにより、口部21に対し下外筒33、ひいては口部部材3が周方向に回転しないように規制している。 Further, a screw groove 331 having a predetermined pitch is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the lower outer cylinder 33, and a screw thread 741 described later of the cap 7 (see FIG. 1) is screwed. By the combination of the screw groove 331 and the screw thread 741, when the cap 7 is rotated by a predetermined rotation angle (for example, 90 degrees) around the axis X from a predetermined position, the screw thread 741 of the cap 7 is separated from the screw groove 331. The cap 7 can be detached. Further, rotation is stopped around the axis X between the inner peripheral surface of the lower outer cylinder 33 and the outer peripheral surface of the mouth portion 21. That is, although detailed illustration is omitted, a flange 212 projecting to the outer peripheral side is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the mouth portion 21, and a groove is formed by cutting out a part in the circumferential direction to open vertically, and the lower outer cylinder 33. A vertical rib that protrudes to the inner peripheral side and extends in the vertical direction is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the above, and by inserting this vertical rib into the groove from above, the lower outer cylinder 33 with respect to the mouth portion 21, and eventually the mouth portion member 3 Is regulated so that it does not rotate in the circumferential direction.

上内筒34は、環状板部30の内周端から上向きに突出され、その上端側の所定位置には肩段部340が形成され、上内筒34の先端部を構成する頂壁部341には軸Xが通る位置に連通孔342が貫通形成されている。加えて、頂壁部341の先端面には連通孔342を囲んで上向きに僅かに突出する凸リブ環343が形成され、後述の如く、スライダー4が下降位置(図1、図2に図示された位置)にあるときには、凸リブ環343がスライダー4の弁座部422に対し圧接して、連通孔342と透孔421,421との間の遮断状態をより強固にシールするようになっている。又、肩段部340近傍の上内筒34の外周面には外向きに突出する膨出部344が形成され、この膨出部344がスライダー4の移動筒41の内周面に対し上下方向に摺動可能に密接することにより、スライダー4と口部部材3との間のシールが行われる。この上内筒34が口部部材3の筒体部を構成し、その頂壁部341の先端面が軸X方向(近接離反方向)に直交する先端面を構成する。 The upper inner cylinder 34 projects upward from the inner peripheral end of the annular plate portion 30, and a shoulder step portion 340 is formed at a predetermined position on the upper end side thereof, and a top wall portion 341 constituting the tip portion of the upper inner cylinder 34. A communication hole 342 is formed through the shaft X at a position through which the shaft X passes. In addition, a convex rib ring 343 that surrounds the communication hole 342 and slightly protrudes upward is formed on the tip surface of the top wall portion 341, and the slider 4 is in the lowered position (shown in FIGS. 1 and 2) as described later. The convex rib ring 343 presses against the valve seat portion 422 of the slider 4 to more firmly seal the blocking state between the communication holes 342 and the through holes 421 and 421. There is. Further, a bulging portion 344 protruding outward is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the upper inner cylinder 34 near the shoulder step portion 340, and the bulging portion 344 is in the vertical direction with respect to the inner peripheral surface of the moving cylinder 41 of the slider 4. The slider 4 and the mouth member 3 are sealed by being slidably close to each other. The upper inner cylinder 34 constitutes a tubular body portion of the mouth member 3, and the tip end surface of the top wall portion 341 constitutes a tip surface orthogonal to the axis X direction (proximity separation direction).

さらに、上外筒35は上内筒34を囲んで両者間にスライダー4の移動筒41の収容部を形成し、上外筒35の内周面のネジ溝351に対しスライダー4の移動筒41の外周面のネジ411が螺合されている。ネジ溝351及びネジ411は所定ピッチで形成され、後述の回転力の伝達を受けて所定の回転角度(例えば90度の中心角度)の回転により後述の下降位置と上昇位置との間の上下方向範囲の所定の昇降量(進退移動量)になるように設定されている。そして、上外筒35の外周面には周方向に四等分(中心角90度間隔)の各位置に上下方向に延びる外向きの縦リブ352,352,…が形成され、このいずれかの縦リブ352に対しノズルカバー5の後述の内向きの縦リブ512が突き当たることにより、ノズルカバー5の軸X回りの回転範囲が90度になるように規制されている。縦リブ352,352,…の下端位置には下向きの係合面を備え外向きに突出する係合凸部353が周方向に延びて形成されており、後述のノズルカバー5の図外の内向き突起が上から乗り越えて係合することで、ノズルカバー5が上下方向に相対移動しないように規制されている。 Further, the upper outer cylinder 35 surrounds the upper inner cylinder 34 to form an accommodating portion of the moving cylinder 41 of the slider 4 between the two, and the moving cylinder 41 of the slider 4 is formed with respect to the screw groove 351 on the inner peripheral surface of the upper outer cylinder 35. The screw 411 on the outer peripheral surface of the above is screwed. The screw grooves 351 and the screws 411 are formed at a predetermined pitch, and by receiving the transmission of the rotational force described later and rotating at a predetermined rotational angle (for example, a center angle of 90 degrees), the screw groove 351 and the screw 411 are rotated in a vertical direction between the descending position and the ascending position described later. It is set to have a predetermined amount of ascending / descending (advancing / retreating movement amount) in the range. Then, on the outer peripheral surface of the upper outer cylinder 35, outward vertical ribs 352, 352, ... Extending in the vertical direction are formed at each position divided into four equal parts in the circumferential direction (center angle 90 degree interval), and any one of them is formed. By abutting the vertical ribs 512, which will be described later, of the nozzle cover 5 against the vertical ribs 352, the rotation range of the nozzle cover 5 around the axis X is regulated to be 90 degrees. The vertical ribs 352, 352, ... Are provided with a downward engaging surface at the lower end positions, and an engaging convex portion 353 protruding outward is formed so as to extend in the circumferential direction. The nozzle cover 5 is regulated so as not to move relative to each other in the vertical direction when the direction protrusions get over and engage with each other from above.

スライダー4(図2及び図4参照)は、口部部材3の上外筒35の内周面と螺合する移動筒41と、移動筒41の上端を覆う頂壁部42と、頂壁部42の中央位置から軸Xに沿って上向きに突出するピン状の凸部43とを備えて構成されている。移動筒41には、その外周面下部に前記のネジ411が形成され、外周面上部に回転力伝達用の外向きの縦リブ412,412が上下方向に延びて形成されている。又、移動筒41には、その上端側位置に、スライダー4が下降位置にあるときに、口部21の肩段部340に上から被さるように、肩段部413が形成されている。頂壁部42には、少なくとも1つ、図例では2つの透孔421,421が凸部43を挟んで両側位置に貫通して形成されている。 The slider 4 (see FIGS. 2 and 4) includes a moving cylinder 41 that is screwed with the inner peripheral surface of the upper outer cylinder 35 of the mouth member 3, a top wall portion 42 that covers the upper end of the moving cylinder 41, and a top wall portion. It is configured to include a pin-shaped convex portion 43 projecting upward along the axis X from the central position of 42. The screw 411 is formed on the lower part of the outer peripheral surface of the moving cylinder 41, and outward vertical ribs 421 and 412 for transmitting rotational force are formed on the upper part of the outer peripheral surface so as to extend in the vertical direction. Further, the moving cylinder 41 is formed with a shoulder step portion 413 at the upper end side position thereof so as to cover the shoulder step portion 340 of the mouth portion 21 from above when the slider 4 is in the lowered position. At least one through hole 421,421 in the illustrated example is formed in the top wall portion 42 so as to penetrate at both side positions with the convex portion 43 in between.

又、頂壁部42の底面部位であって、透孔421,421を除く中央部位には弁座部422が形成され、スライダー4が下降位置(後退位置)にあるときには、弁座部422の下面(対向面)に対し、相対向する上内筒34の頂壁部341の上面にある凸リブ環343が圧接して、連通孔342と透孔421、421との間を遮断してシールするようになっている。つまり、スライダー4が下降位置にあるとき、弁座部422の下面が連通孔342を遮蔽して閉止するようになっており、その際、透孔421,421が連通孔342と軸X方向に重ならないように位置設定されている。ここで、弁座部422は、遮断性能を高めるために、スライダー4を構成する材料とは異なる材料(スライダー4よりもさらに柔軟性又は弾力性を有する材料)で形成することが好ましい。このために、弁座部422と、他の部分のスライダー4とを互いに異なる2種類の合成樹脂を用いた2色成形により一体に形成したり、あるいは、別途形成した弁座部422をスライダー4に形成した凹部に対し嵌め込んでホットメルト等の手段により結合させるようにすることができる。 Further, when the valve seat portion 422 is formed on the bottom surface portion of the top wall portion 42 and the central portion excluding the through holes 421 and 421 and the slider 4 is in the descending position (retracted position), the valve seat portion 422 The convex rib ring 343 on the upper surface of the top wall portion 341 of the upper inner cylinder 34 facing the lower surface (opposing surface) is in pressure contact with the lower surface (opposing surface) to block and seal between the communication holes 342 and the through holes 421 and 421. It is designed to do. That is, when the slider 4 is in the lowered position, the lower surface of the valve seat portion 422 shields and closes the communication hole 342, and at that time, the through holes 421 and 421 are in the communication hole 342 and the axis X direction. The position is set so that they do not overlap. Here, in order to enhance the blocking performance, the valve seat portion 422 is preferably formed of a material different from the material constituting the slider 4 (a material having more flexibility or elasticity than the slider 4). For this purpose, the valve seat portion 422 and the slider 4 of the other portion are integrally formed by two-color molding using two types of synthetic resins different from each other, or the separately formed valve seat portion 422 is formed by the slider 4 It can be fitted into the recess formed in the above and bonded by means such as hot melt.

凸部43は、スライダー4が後述の如く上昇位置(前進位置)にあるときに、先端431がスプリングバルブ6の弁体63の円盤部下面に当接(好ましくは上向きに押圧気味に当接)して、ノズル孔50が閉止された状態で弁体63の軸部62が外部から押されたとしても下向き(後退側)には動かないようにして、計量室54を密封状態に維持するよう、より強固にロックし得るようになっている。なお、図1及び図2に示すように、弁体63の円盤部下面には、スライダー4が上昇位置にあるときに凸部43の先端431が嵌まる凹部を設けておくことができる。 When the slider 4 is in the ascending position (advancing position) as described later, the tip 431 of the convex portion 43 abuts on the lower surface of the disk portion of the valve body 63 of the spring valve 6 (preferably a little upward pressing). Then, even if the shaft portion 62 of the valve body 63 is pushed from the outside while the nozzle hole 50 is closed, the measuring chamber 54 is maintained in a sealed state so as not to move downward (backward side). , Can be locked more firmly. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the lower surface of the disk portion of the valve body 63 may be provided with a recess in which the tip 431 of the convex portion 43 fits when the slider 4 is in the raised position.

ノズルカバー5(図2及び図5参照)は、下端側の大径筒51と、大径筒51の上に段差部511を介して上方に延びる中径筒52と、中径筒52の上に段差部521を介して上向きに砲弾形に突出するノズル部53とを備えて構成されている。大径筒51(図2参照)の内周面には内向きに突出して上下方向に延びる縦リブ512,512が形成され、ノズルカバー5が軸X回りに回転すると、その縦リブ512が口部部材3の外向きの縦リブ352,352,…に突き当たることによりノズルカバー5の回転範囲を所定範囲に規制するようになっている。 The nozzle cover 5 (see FIGS. 2 and 5) is provided on the large-diameter cylinder 51 on the lower end side, the medium-diameter cylinder 52 extending upward on the large-diameter cylinder 51 via the step portion 511, and the medium-diameter cylinder 52. Is provided with a nozzle portion 53 that projects upward in a bullet shape via a step portion 521. Vertical ribs 512 and 512 that protrude inward and extend in the vertical direction are formed on the inner peripheral surface of the large-diameter cylinder 51 (see FIG. 2), and when the nozzle cover 5 rotates about the axis X, the vertical ribs 512 are opened. The rotation range of the nozzle cover 5 is restricted to a predetermined range by abutting on the outward vertical ribs 352, 352, ... Of the member 3.

中径筒52(図2参照)の内周面には、スライダー4の縦リブ412の周方向幅とほぼ同等の周方向幅であって、縦リブ412が上から挿入可能な程度の周方向幅に離隔された両位置でそれぞれ上下方向に延びる一対で1セットの内向きの縦リブ522が、周方向に180度離れた各位置に形成されている。各セットの一対の縦リブ522に挟まれた位置にスライダー4の縦リブ412が下から挿入されることにより、ノズルカバー5からスライダー4に対する軸X回りの回転力の伝達が可能となる。つまり、ノズルカバー5からの回転力が一対の縦リブ522と、これに周方向に当接する縦リブ412とを介してスライダー4に伝達され、これにより、ノズルカバー5の回転によりスライダー4が同期して回転されるように両者は互いに連係されている。 The inner peripheral surface of the medium-diameter cylinder 52 (see FIG. 2) has a circumferential width substantially equal to the circumferential width of the vertical rib 412 of the slider 4, and the circumferential direction is such that the vertical rib 412 can be inserted from above. A pair of inward vertical ribs 522 extending in the vertical direction at both positions separated by width are formed at each position 180 degrees apart in the circumferential direction. By inserting the vertical ribs 412 of the slider 4 from below at the positions sandwiched between the pair of vertical ribs 522 of each set, the rotational force around the axis X can be transmitted from the nozzle cover 5 to the slider 4. That is, the rotational force from the nozzle cover 5 is transmitted to the slider 4 via the pair of vertical ribs 522 and the vertical ribs 412 that abut on the vertical ribs 522 in the circumferential direction, whereby the slider 4 is synchronized by the rotation of the nozzle cover 5. The two are linked to each other so that they can be rotated.

一方、中径筒52(図2及び図5参照)の外周面には、周方向に所定間隔だけ離隔された両位置でそれぞれ上下方向に延びる一対で1セットの外向きの縦リブ523が、内周面の場合と同様に、周方向に180度離れた各位置に形成されている。各セットの一対の縦リブ523と、キャップ7の後述の一対の係合凸部751とが周方向に当接することにより、キャップ7に対する回転操作力がノズルカバー5に伝達され、伝達された回転力がノズルカバー5からスライダー4に伝達されるようになっている。 On the other hand, on the outer peripheral surface of the medium-diameter cylinder 52 (see FIGS. 2 and 5), a pair of outward vertical ribs 523 extending in the vertical direction at both positions separated by a predetermined interval in the circumferential direction are provided. Similar to the case of the inner peripheral surface, they are formed at each position 180 degrees apart in the circumferential direction. When the pair of vertical ribs 523 of each set and the pair of engaging protrusions 751 described later of the cap 7 abut in the circumferential direction, the rotational operation force with respect to the cap 7 is transmitted to the nozzle cover 5, and the transmitted rotation. The force is transmitted from the nozzle cover 5 to the slider 4.

そして、段差部521(図2参照)の下面であって、ノズル部53の基部位置には、斜め内向きに延びるシール筒部524が形成されている。このシール筒部524は、その先端部525がスライダー4の移動筒41の上端側外周面に密接し、これにより、スライダー4の上下方向への摺動を許容しつつ、ノズル部53(ノズルカバー5)とスライダー4との間のシールを行うようになっている。このシールによって、スライダー4が下降位置にあるとき、つまり、下降位置にあって透孔421,421と連通孔342との間が遮断されて非連通状態にされているときにおけるノズル部53内の空間が、計量すべき所定容積を有する計量室54として、密閉状態で区画形成されることになる。 A seal cylinder portion 524 extending diagonally inward is formed at the base position of the nozzle portion 53 on the lower surface of the step portion 521 (see FIG. 2). The tip portion 525 of the seal cylinder portion 524 is in close contact with the outer peripheral surface on the upper end side of the moving cylinder 41 of the slider 4, thereby allowing the slider 4 to slide in the vertical direction, and the nozzle portion 53 (nozzle cover). A seal is provided between 5) and the slider 4. By this seal, the inside of the nozzle portion 53 when the slider 4 is in the lowered position, that is, when the slider 4 is in the lowered position and the through holes 421 and 421 and the communication hole 342 are blocked to be in a non-communication state. The space is partitioned as a measuring chamber 54 having a predetermined volume to be weighed in a closed state.

ノズル部53(図2参照)は、計量室54となる内部空間を有し、頂端に計量室54と連通するノズル孔50が形成され、このノズル孔50を開閉切換するためのスプリングバルブ6が内部空間に収容されている。すなわち、スプリングバルブ6がノズルカバー5の下端開口から挿入されて計量室54の下側位置の内周面に対し下側からアンダーカット嵌合により内嵌されるようになっている。 The nozzle portion 53 (see FIG. 2) has an internal space serving as a measuring chamber 54, a nozzle hole 50 communicating with the measuring chamber 54 is formed at the top end, and a spring valve 6 for switching the opening and closing of the nozzle hole 50 is provided. It is housed in the interior space. That is, the spring valve 6 is inserted from the lower end opening of the nozzle cover 5 and is fitted inside the measuring chamber 54 from the lower side by undercut fitting with respect to the inner peripheral surface at the lower position.

ここで、スプリングバルブ6は、図6に示すように、下部に位置する環状の台座61と、上部に位置する弁体63と、弁体63と台座61との間を互いに連結するよう螺旋状に延びる複数の弾性腕部64,64,…とを備えて構成されている。そして、台座61の外周面に外向きに膨出された凸部611が、計量室54の下側位置の内周面に内向きに膨出するように形成された凸部に対し、下方から乗り越えて互いに係合することによりノズル部53内にアンダーカット嵌合されることになる。弁体63は、ノズル孔50下側の内周面により構成される座面に密接する円盤部により主構成されるとともに、該円盤部から上方に延設された軸部62を一体に備えており、図2に示すように該軸部62をノズル孔50に対し下(計量室54側)から上に挿入することによって、弁体63がノズル孔50に対して同心状に姿勢保持されるようになっている。 Here, as shown in FIG. 6, the spring valve 6 has a spiral shape so as to connect the annular pedestal 61 located at the lower part, the valve body 63 located at the upper part, and the valve body 63 and the pedestal 61 to each other. It is configured to include a plurality of elastic arms 64, 64, ... Then, the convex portion 611 that bulges outward on the outer peripheral surface of the pedestal 61 is formed so as to bulge inward on the inner peripheral surface at the lower position of the measuring chamber 54 from below. By overcoming and engaging with each other, the undercut fitting is formed in the nozzle portion 53. The valve body 63 is mainly composed of a disk portion in close contact with the seat surface formed by the inner peripheral surface below the nozzle hole 50, and integrally includes a shaft portion 62 extending upward from the disk portion. As shown in FIG. 2, the valve body 63 is held concentrically with respect to the nozzle hole 50 by inserting the shaft portion 62 into the nozzle hole 50 from below (measurement chamber 54 side) to the top. It has become like.

スプリングバルブ6は、弾性腕部64,64,…からの弾性付勢力を受けることにより、弁体63の軸部62の先端部がノズル孔50から上方へ突出し、弁体63をノズル孔50下側の内周面により構成される座面に押し付けて密接させた状態で、ノズル孔50を閉止状態に維持するようになっている。軸部62の外周面には上下方向に延びる1以上(図例では3本)の凹溝621,621,…(図6も併せて参照)が形成されており、後述の如く、ノズル孔50から突出した軸部62の先端が弾性腕部64の付勢力に抗して押し込まれると弁体63の円盤部が座面から離れ、凹溝621,621,…を通して計量室54と外部とが互いに連通しノズル孔50は開放状態になる。 In the spring valve 6, the tip of the shaft portion 62 of the valve body 63 protrudes upward from the nozzle hole 50 by receiving the elastic urging force from the elastic arm portions 64, 64, ..., And the valve body 63 is placed below the nozzle hole 50. The nozzle hole 50 is maintained in the closed state in a state where the nozzle hole 50 is pressed against the seat surface formed by the inner peripheral surface on the side and brought into close contact with the seat surface. One or more (three in the example) concave grooves 621, 621, ... (See also FIG. 6) extending in the vertical direction are formed on the outer peripheral surface of the shaft portion 62, and the nozzle hole 50 is as described later. When the tip of the shaft portion 62 protruding from the shaft portion 62 is pushed against the urging force of the elastic arm portion 64, the disk portion of the valve body 63 is separated from the seat surface, and the measuring chamber 54 and the outside are connected to each other through the concave grooves 621, 621, ... The nozzle holes 50 communicate with each other and are in an open state.

そして、計量室54は、ノズル孔50が閉止状態であれば、スライダー4が下降位置にあるときに、口部部材3内、つまり容器本体2内の空間と遮断されて密封状態(図2の状態参照)となる一方、スライダー4が後述の如く上昇位置にあるときに、計量室54と容器本体2内の空間と互いに連通状態となる。 If the nozzle hole 50 is in the closed state, the measuring chamber 54 is sealed from the space inside the mouth member 3, that is, the container body 2 when the slider 4 is in the lowered position (FIG. 2). On the other hand, when the slider 4 is in the ascending position as described later, the measuring chamber 54 and the space inside the container body 2 are in communication with each other.

図1に戻り、キャップ7は、外部材71と、内部材72とを組み合わせて形成したものである。外部材71は、容器本体2の形状に併せて外観のデザイン性を発揮する形状を備え、その一方、内部材72は、定量注出容器の機能性を発揮させ、かつ、より高めるための構造を備えたものである。すなわち、内部材72は、外部材71との結合のための下端フランジ73と、内周面に形成されたネジ山741により口部部材3の下外筒33のネジ溝331に螺合可能な第1筒部74と、内周面に形成された一対で1セットの係合凸部751により各一対の縦リブ523を介してノズルカバー5に対し回転操作力を伝達可能な第2筒部75と、ノズルカバー5のノズル部53を覆って保護し得る第3筒部76とを備えて構成されている。第3筒部76は、その頂部に保護カバー部761を備え、保護カバー部761により、ノズル孔50から軸部62が突出した状態で外部から軸部62に対し不意の押圧力が作用しないように覆って保護するようにしている。つまり、ノズル孔50を閉止した状態に安全に維持し得るようにしている。キャップ7としては、以上のように外部材71と、内部材72とに分割しないで、一体物で形成することもできる。しかしながら、外観上のデザイン性と内側のノズルカバー5等に対する機能性とを満足させつつ、軽量化を図る上では、分割して外部材71と内部材72とで構成することが、特に軽量化の観点から有利となる。 Returning to FIG. 1, the cap 7 is formed by combining the outer member 71 and the inner member 72. The outer member 71 has a shape that exhibits the design of the appearance in accordance with the shape of the container body 2, while the inner member 72 has a structure for exerting and further enhancing the functionality of the fixed quantity pouring container. It is equipped with. That is, the inner member 72 can be screwed into the thread groove 331 of the lower outer cylinder 33 of the mouth member 3 by the lower end flange 73 for coupling with the outer member 71 and the screw thread 741 formed on the inner peripheral surface. A second tubular portion capable of transmitting a rotational operation force to the nozzle cover 5 via each pair of vertical ribs 523 by a pair of engaging convex portions 751 formed on the inner peripheral surface of the first tubular portion 74. It is configured to include a 75 and a third tubular portion 76 that can cover and protect the nozzle portion 53 of the nozzle cover 5. The third tubular portion 76 is provided with a protective cover portion 761 at the top thereof, and the protective cover portion 761 prevents an unexpected pressing force from acting on the shaft portion 62 from the outside in a state where the shaft portion 62 protrudes from the nozzle hole 50. I try to protect it by covering it with. That is, the nozzle hole 50 can be safely maintained in a closed state. The cap 7 may be formed as an integral body without being divided into the outer member 71 and the inner member 72 as described above. However, in order to reduce the weight while satisfying the appearance design and the functionality of the inner nozzle cover 5 and the like, it is particularly light weight to be divided into the outer member 71 and the inner member 72. It is advantageous from the viewpoint of.

以上のキャップ7、ノズルカバー5及びスライダー4の回転力の伝達等について図7を参照しつつ説明する。閉キャップ状態(図7(a)に実線で示す状態;図1に示す状態)のキャップ7を軸X回りに開方向W(例えば反時計方向)に回転操作量90度分だけ回転操作(開キャップ操作)すると、キャップ7を構成する第2筒部75の各一対の係合凸部751の内の一方751bが、ノズルカバー5の中径筒52の各一対の縦リブ523の内の一方を開方向Wに押すことになり、これにより、ノズルカバー5が同期して回転移動する。一方、ノズルカバー5の90度の回転移動に伴い、その中径筒52の一対の縦リブ522,522に挟まれたスライダー4の移動筒41の縦リブ412も開方向Wに押される結果、キャップ7の回転操作に伴いスライダー4も同期して90度だけ回転移動する。このため、キャップ7の回転操作により、ノズルカバー5と共にスライダー4も同期して回転移動することになる。 The transmission of the rotational force of the cap 7, the nozzle cover 5, and the slider 4 will be described with reference to FIG. 7. Rotate the cap 7 in the closed cap state (the state shown by the solid line in FIG. 7A; the state shown in FIG. 1) around the axis X in the opening direction W (for example, in the counterclockwise direction) by the amount of 90 degrees of rotation operation (open). (Cap operation), one of 751b of each pair of engaging convex portions 751 of the second cylinder portion 75 constituting the cap 7 is one of each pair of vertical ribs 523 of the medium diameter cylinder 52 of the nozzle cover 5. Is pushed in the opening direction W, whereby the nozzle cover 5 rotates and moves synchronously. On the other hand, as the nozzle cover 5 rotates 90 degrees, the vertical ribs 412 of the moving cylinder 41 of the slider 4 sandwiched between the pair of vertical ribs 522 and 522 of the medium diameter cylinder 52 are also pushed in the opening direction W. Along with the rotation operation of the cap 7, the slider 4 also rotates and moves by 90 degrees in synchronization. Therefore, the rotation operation of the cap 7 causes the slider 4 to rotate and move in synchronization with the nozzle cover 5.

一方、ノズルカバー5の回転範囲が確実に所定の中心角度(本実施形態では90度)に規制されるようにストッパが設けられている。すなわち、キャップ7の回転操作に基づくノズルカバー5の同期回転に伴い、その大径筒51(図7(b)参照)の縦リブ512,512が開方向Wに対し同様に回転移動する結果、縦リブ512,512が口部部材3の縦リブ352,352,…に突き当たることになる。縦リブ352,352,…は周方向に90度間隔の所定の各位置に形成され、これにより、ノズルカバー5の回転範囲が確実に90度に規制されることになる。これは、スライダー4の昇降移動範囲が後述の如く確実に下降位置から上昇位置までの間になるように、スライダー4の回転移動量を所定の中心角度(90度)に規制するためのものである。前記の縦リブ352と縦リブ512との組み合わせがストッパを構成することになる。縦リブ352,352,…の設置位置は、下降位置と上昇位置との間の昇降作動を実現させるためのスライダー4の回転移動量に応じて設定することができ、回転移動量が後述の例の如く120度に設定される場合には、周方向に120度ずつの間隔の各位置とすることができる。なお、前記のストッパとしては、前記ノズルカバー5と口部部材3との間で互いに突き当たることになる縦リブ512,352の組み合わせに代えて、スライダー4と口部部材3との間に設けることができる。 On the other hand, a stopper is provided so that the rotation range of the nozzle cover 5 is surely restricted to a predetermined center angle (90 degrees in this embodiment). That is, as a result of the synchronous rotation of the nozzle cover 5 based on the rotation operation of the cap 7, the vertical ribs 512 and 512 of the large diameter cylinder 51 (see FIG. 7B) rotate and move in the same manner with respect to the opening direction W. The vertical ribs 512 and 512 abut on the vertical ribs 352, 352, ... Of the mouth member 3. The vertical ribs 352, 352, ... Are formed at predetermined positions at intervals of 90 degrees in the circumferential direction, whereby the rotation range of the nozzle cover 5 is surely restricted to 90 degrees. This is to regulate the rotational movement amount of the slider 4 to a predetermined center angle (90 degrees) so that the ascending / descending movement range of the slider 4 is surely between the descending position and the ascending position as described later. is there. The combination of the vertical ribs 352 and the vertical ribs 512 constitutes a stopper. The installation positions of the vertical ribs 352, 352, ... Can be set according to the amount of rotational movement of the slider 4 for realizing the elevating operation between the descending position and the ascending position, and the rotational movement amount is an example described later. When it is set to 120 degrees as described above, it can be set at each position at intervals of 120 degrees in the circumferential direction. The stopper is provided between the slider 4 and the mouth member 3 instead of the combination of the vertical ribs 512 and 352 that abut each other between the nozzle cover 5 and the mouth member 3. Can be done.

スライダー4の開方向Wへの90度の回転移動により、スライダー4は、図1、図2又は図8の左側部分に示す下降位置から、図8の右側に示す上昇位置まで軸Xに沿って上昇する。このスライダー4の上昇作動により、スライダー4の弁座部422は口部部材3の凸リブ環343から上方に離れ、その隙間空間を介して連通孔342と透孔421,421とが互いに連通する結果、計量室54と容器本体2内とが互いに連通した状態(連通状態)に変換されることになる。なお、本実施形態では、開方向Wへ中心角度で90度の回転移動量で、スライダー4が下降位置と上昇位置との間を昇降移動するように設定しているが、スライダー4の下降位置と上昇位置との間の昇降移動を、如何なる回転移動量で実現させるかは、ユーザーの操作感等とを考慮して適宜決定することができる。例えば、中心角度で120度だけ回転移動させることで、下降位置と上昇位置との間の昇降移動が実現するように設定することができる。このような変更設定はスライダー4と口部部材3との間のネジ嵌合のネジピッチ等を調整することで可能となる。 Due to the 90 degree rotational movement of the slider 4 in the opening direction W, the slider 4 is moved along the axis X from the descending position shown on the left side of FIG. 1, FIG. 2 or FIG. 8 to the ascending position shown on the right side of FIG. To rise. By the ascending operation of the slider 4, the valve seat portion 422 of the slider 4 is separated upward from the convex rib ring 343 of the mouth member 3, and the communication holes 342 and the through holes 421 and 421 communicate with each other through the gap space. As a result, the measuring chamber 54 and the inside of the container body 2 are converted into a state of communicating with each other (communication state). In the present embodiment, the slider 4 is set to move up and down between the descending position and the ascending position with a rotational movement amount of 90 degrees at the center angle in the opening direction W, but the descending position of the slider 4 The amount of rotational movement to be realized in the ascending / descending movement between the and the ascending position can be appropriately determined in consideration of the user's operability and the like. For example, by rotating the center angle by 120 degrees, it can be set so that the ascending / descending movement between the descending position and the ascending position is realized. Such a change setting can be made by adjusting the screw pitch of the screw fitting between the slider 4 and the mouth member 3.

そして、図8の左側部分に示すように、容器本体2内に液体Qを充填させた状態で、キャップ7が閉キャップ状態にされていれば、スライダー4は下降位置に設定されて、スライダー4の弁座部422が口部部材3の頂壁部341(凸リブ環343:図2参照)に圧接し、連通孔342と透孔421,421との間が非連通状態に遮断されている(図2も併せて参照)。このため、液体Qは容器本体2内に確実に密封状態のまま収容・保管されることになり、全体をたとえ転倒させたとしても、容器本体2側から計量室54内に液体Qが流れ込むことはない。 Then, as shown in the left side portion of FIG. 8, if the cap 7 is in the closed cap state while the container body 2 is filled with the liquid Q, the slider 4 is set to the descending position and the slider 4 is set. The valve seat portion 422 is in pressure contact with the top wall portion 341 (convex rib ring 343: see FIG. 2) of the mouth member 3, and the communication holes 342 and the through holes 421 and 421 are blocked in a non-communication state. (See also FIG. 2). Therefore, the liquid Q is surely stored and stored in the container body 2 in a hermetically sealed state, and even if the entire container is turned over, the liquid Q flows into the measuring chamber 54 from the container body 2 side. There is no.

そして、キャップ7を開キャップ操作(開方向Wに回転操作)すると、その回転操作力がキャップ7からノズルカバー5に伝達され、同時に、その回転操作力がノズルカバー5からスライダー4に伝達され、スライダー4は90度だけ回転移動される。この結果、スライダー4は下降位置から上昇位置まで上昇することになる。これにより、図8の右側部分に示すように、弁座部422と頂壁部341(凸リブ環343:図2参照)との間が離れ、連通孔342と透孔421,421とが連通し、計量室54を非連通状態から容器本体2内と連通した連通状態に変換させることができる。又、この上昇位置への上昇により、連通状態への変換と同時に、スライダー4の凸部43がスプリングバルブ6の弁体63に当接してノズル孔50を閉状態にロックさせることができる。このため、外部に露出した状態になった弁体63の軸部62が他の物と触れたり、その軸部62を間違って押したりしたとしても、弁体63は動くことはなく、計量室54を確実に閉状態に維持させることができる。なお、キャップ7は開方向Wに90度分回転操作すれば、螺合が外れて、口部部材3(容器本体2)から分離させることができる。 Then, when the cap 7 is opened (rotated in the opening direction W), the rotational operation force is transmitted from the cap 7 to the nozzle cover 5, and at the same time, the rotational operation force is transmitted from the nozzle cover 5 to the slider 4. The slider 4 is rotated and moved by 90 degrees. As a result, the slider 4 rises from the descending position to the ascending position. As a result, as shown in the right side portion of FIG. 8, the valve seat portion 422 and the top wall portion 341 (convex rib ring 343: see FIG. 2) are separated from each other, and the communication holes 342 and the through holes 421 and 421 communicate with each other. Then, the measuring chamber 54 can be changed from the non-communication state to the communication state in which the inside of the container body 2 is communicated. Further, by ascending to the ascending position, the convex portion 43 of the slider 4 abuts on the valve body 63 of the spring valve 6 and the nozzle hole 50 can be locked in the closed state at the same time as the conversion to the communicating state. Therefore, even if the shaft portion 62 of the valve body 63 exposed to the outside touches another object or pushes the shaft portion 62 by mistake, the valve body 63 does not move and the measuring chamber is used. The 54 can be reliably maintained in the closed state. If the cap 7 is rotated by 90 degrees in the opening direction W, the cap 7 can be disengaged and separated from the mouth member 3 (container body 2).

この後に、図9に示すように、全体を正立状態から倒立状態に変えると、連通状態の連通孔342及び透孔421,421を通して容器本体2内の液体Qが計量室54内に流入し、計量室54は液体Qで充満される(図9の左側部分参照)。次に、ノズルカバー5をキャップ7(図8参照)の開方向Wとは逆の閉方向に回転させると、その回転操作力がノズルカバー5からスライダー4に伝達され、スライダー4は上昇位置から下降位置に戻り(図9の中央部分参照)、連通孔342と透孔421,421との間が遮断された非連通状態に復帰する。この結果、計量室54は内部に液体Qが充満した状態に密閉されることになる。つまり、計量室54内の空間容積に対応する量の液体Qを確実に分離して正確に所定量の液体Qを計量することができる。ここで、計量室54内においては、計量される液体が充満状態で収容されるため、液体が孔揮発性のものでも揮発による内圧変動を招くこともない。加えて、連通状態から非連通状態に至る過程において、計量室54内の容積の減少を伴うこともないため、計量された後の計量室54の液体に内圧変動を生じさせることもない。 After that, as shown in FIG. 9, when the whole is changed from the upright state to the inverted state, the liquid Q in the container body 2 flows into the measuring chamber 54 through the communication holes 342 and the through holes 421 and 421 in the communication state. , The measuring chamber 54 is filled with liquid Q (see the left portion of FIG. 9). Next, when the nozzle cover 5 is rotated in the closing direction opposite to the opening direction W of the cap 7 (see FIG. 8), the rotational operation force is transmitted from the nozzle cover 5 to the slider 4, and the slider 4 is moved from the ascending position. It returns to the descending position (see the central portion of FIG. 9), and returns to the non-communication state in which the communication holes 342 and the through holes 421 and 421 are cut off. As a result, the measuring chamber 54 is sealed in a state where the inside is filled with the liquid Q. That is, it is possible to reliably separate the amount of liquid Q corresponding to the space volume in the measuring chamber 54 and accurately measure a predetermined amount of liquid Q. Here, in the measuring chamber 54, since the liquid to be measured is stored in a filled state, even if the liquid is pore-volatile, the internal pressure does not fluctuate due to volatility. In addition, in the process from the communicating state to the non-communicating state, the volume in the measuring chamber 54 does not decrease, so that the liquid in the measuring chamber 54 after being weighed does not cause an internal pressure fluctuation.

そして、スライダー4が下降位置に戻る結果、弁体63のロック状態が外れるため、このまま弁体63の軸部62(図9の右側部分参照)を患部(例えば頭皮)Hに押し付けることで、スプリングバルブ6の弾性腕部64,64,…が撓んで弁体63が後退し、これにより、ノズル孔50は凹溝621,621,…を通して開状態になる。このため、計量室54内の液体Qが凹溝621,621,…を通して頭皮Hに注出され、液体Qを頭皮に塗布することができるようになり、計量室54内は外部の空気と置換されて空になる。つまり、頭皮H等に軸部62を押し付けることにより、非連通状態における計量室54内の容積(例えば5ml)に相当する定量の液体Qだけを注出させることができるようになる。この際、前記の如く計量室54内の内圧変動はないため、注出に際し内圧変動に起因する液漏れや液体が勢いよく飛び出してしまう等の不都合を引き起こすおそれはない。 Then, as a result of the slider 4 returning to the lowered position, the locked state of the valve body 63 is released. Therefore, by pressing the shaft portion 62 (see the right side portion of FIG. 9) of the valve body 63 against the affected portion (for example, the scalp) H as it is, the spring The elastic arm portions 64, 64, ... Of the valve 6 are bent and the valve body 63 is retracted, whereby the nozzle hole 50 is opened through the concave grooves 621, 621, .... Therefore, the liquid Q in the measuring chamber 54 is poured out to the scalp H through the concave grooves 621, 621, ..., And the liquid Q can be applied to the scalp, and the inside of the measuring chamber 54 is replaced with the outside air. Be emptied. That is, by pressing the shaft portion 62 against the scalp H or the like, only a fixed amount of liquid Q corresponding to the volume (for example, 5 ml) in the measuring chamber 54 in the non-communication state can be poured out. At this time, since the internal pressure in the measuring chamber 54 does not fluctuate as described above, there is no possibility of causing inconveniences such as liquid leakage due to the internal pressure fluctuation and the liquid rushing out at the time of pouring.

使用後は、定量注出容器を正立状態に戻してキャップ7を被せ、そのキャップ7を閉方向(開方向Wと逆方向)に回転操作(以下、「閉キャップ操作」ともいう)することにより、元の閉キャップ状態(図7(a)に実線で示す状態)に戻される。その際、キャップ7を上から被せる位置(周方向の回転位置)の如何に拘わらず、あるいは、ノズルカバー5の回転位置の如何(スライダー4が下降位置又は上昇位置のいずれの回転位置にあるかの如何)に係わらず、キャップ7を被せた後に閉方向への回転操作によって、元の閉キャップ状態に復帰可能となっている。 After use, return the quantitative injection container to the upright state, cover it with the cap 7, and rotate the cap 7 in the closing direction (opposite to the opening direction W) (hereinafter, also referred to as "closing cap operation"). This returns to the original closed cap state (the state shown by the solid line in FIG. 7A). At that time, regardless of the position where the cap 7 is covered from above (rotational position in the circumferential direction), or the rotation position of the nozzle cover 5 (whether the slider 4 is in the lowering position or the ascending position). Regardless of (), it is possible to return to the original closed cap state by rotating the cap 7 in the closing direction after covering the cap 7.

すなわち、キャップ7の内部材72の第3筒部75に形成された各一対の係合凸部751は、一方の係合凸部751bが接線に対し斜めに交差する方向に延びて開方向Wに対してのみ回転力を縦リブ523に対し伝達可能で、かつ、逆向きの閉方向には素材の有する弾性又は柔軟性に基づき縦リブ523を乗り越えて回転移動可能となっている。これに対し、他方の係合凸部751aは、第3筒部75の内周面から径方向内側に向けて突出する突起により構成され、キャップ7が前記閉方向へ回転移動されて前記縦リブ523に突き当たると、閉方向への回転力をノズルカバー5に伝達可能となっている。このため、キャップ7が任意の周方向位置から被せられたとしても、そのキャップ7を前記閉方向に回転操作することで、他方の係合凸部751aが縦リブ523に突き当たって閉方向の回転力が伝達可能となるまで、一方の係合凸部751bは縦リブ523を乗り越えて閉方向に回転移動することになる。そして、キャップ7の閉方向の回転操作により、前記他方の係合凸部751aが縦リブ523に突き当たるまで回転し、突き当たってから閉方向の回転力をノズルカバー5に伝達することで、スライダー4が下降位置(非連通状態)となる元の閉キャップ状態への復帰が可能となる。閉キャップ状態に戻れば、キャップ7に対する開キャップ7操作により、計量及び注出が再度可能となる。 That is, each pair of engaging convex portions 751 formed on the third tubular portion 75 of the inner member 72 of the cap 7 extends in a direction in which one engaging convex portion 751b diagonally intersects the tangent line and extends in the opening direction W. The rotational force can be transmitted to the vertical rib 523 only with respect to the vertical rib 523, and can rotate and move over the vertical rib 523 based on the elasticity or flexibility of the material in the opposite closing direction. On the other hand, the other engaging convex portion 751a is composed of protrusions protruding inward in the radial direction from the inner peripheral surface of the third tubular portion 75, and the cap 7 is rotationally moved in the closing direction to the vertical rib. When it hits 523, the rotational force in the closing direction can be transmitted to the nozzle cover 5. Therefore, even if the cap 7 is covered from an arbitrary circumferential position, by rotating the cap 7 in the closing direction, the other engaging convex portion 751a abuts on the vertical rib 523 and rotates in the closing direction. Until the force can be transmitted, one of the engaging convex portions 751b gets over the vertical rib 523 and rotationally moves in the closing direction. Then, by the rotation operation of the cap 7 in the closing direction, the other engaging convex portion 751a is rotated until it abuts on the vertical rib 523, and after the abutting, the rotational force in the closing direction is transmitted to the nozzle cover 5, so that the slider 4 It is possible to return to the original closed cap state in which is in the descending position (non-communication state). After returning to the closed cap state, weighing and pouring can be performed again by the operation of the open cap 7 with respect to the cap 7.

ところで、計量〜定量の液体の注出を繰り返していると、最終的に使用を終了して閉キャップ操作を行う際に、スライダー4が連通状態にあるか非連通状態にあるかがユーザーにおいて定かでは無くなるおそれが考えられる。しかしながら、スライダー4がいずれの回転位置にあったとしても、つまり、ノズルカバー5がいずれの回転位置にあったとしても、キャップ7を被せ閉キャップ操作を行いさえすれば、前述の如く、スライダー4を下降位置に位置付けて確実に非連通状態に復帰させることができるようになる。これにより、容器本体2内の液体Qを確実に密封状態に保管することができる。 By the way, when the weighing to the fixed amount of liquid are repeatedly poured out, the user can determine whether the slider 4 is in the communicating state or the non-communication state when the use is finally finished and the closing cap operation is performed. It is possible that it will disappear. However, no matter which rotation position the slider 4 is in, that is, no matter which rotation position the nozzle cover 5 is, as long as the cap 7 is put on and the closing cap operation is performed, the slider 4 is as described above. Can be reliably returned to the non-communication state by positioning the slider in the descending position. As a result, the liquid Q in the container body 2 can be reliably stored in a sealed state.

なお、前記の一対の縦リブ523,523を周方向に180度の間隔で2セット(2対)配設しているが、1セットにすることができる。さらに、一対の縦リブ523,523を、周方向の両側から一対の係合凸部751a,751bで挟み付けるようにした1つの縦リブで代用することができる。1つの縦リブにする場合には、周方向に幅をもたせることができる。 Although two sets (two pairs) of the pair of vertical ribs 523 and 523 are arranged at intervals of 180 degrees in the circumferential direction, one set can be used. Further, the pair of vertical ribs 523 and 523 can be replaced by one vertical rib that is sandwiched between the pair of engaging protrusions 751a and 751b from both sides in the circumferential direction. When one vertical rib is used, the width can be increased in the circumferential direction.

以上の定量注出容器は、図10に示すように、液体Qを充填させた容器本体2に対し口部部材3を装着し、この口部部材3の上外筒35内のネジ溝351に対しスライダー4の移動筒41のネジ411をねじ込んで螺合させ、先にスプリングバルブ6の弁体63の軸部62をノズル孔50に挿入した状態のノズルカバー5を口部部材3の上外筒35の外周面に対し所定の周方向位置の上から装着させる。最後に、キャップ7を、ノズルカバー5の中径筒52の各セットの縦リブ523に対し所定の周方向位置になるように上から被せ、口部部材3の下外筒33のネジ溝331にねじ込んで螺合させて閉キャップ状態にすることで完成する。 In the above-mentioned quantitative injection container, as shown in FIG. 10, a mouth member 3 is attached to a container body 2 filled with liquid Q, and a screw groove 351 in the upper outer cylinder 35 of the mouth member 3 is provided. On the other hand, the screw 411 of the moving cylinder 41 of the slider 4 is screwed and screwed, and the nozzle cover 5 in the state where the shaft portion 62 of the valve body 63 of the spring valve 6 is inserted into the nozzle hole 50 is placed above and outside the mouth member 3. It is mounted on the outer peripheral surface of the cylinder 35 from above a predetermined circumferential position. Finally, the cap 7 is put on the vertical ribs 523 of each set of the medium-diameter cylinder 52 of the nozzle cover 5 from above so as to be in a predetermined circumferential position, and the screw groove 331 of the lower outer cylinder 33 of the mouth member 3 is covered. It is completed by screwing it into the closed cap state.

あるいは、容器本体2とは別に、定量注出装置を予め組み付けておくようにすることができる。すなわち、口部部材3の上外筒35内のネジ溝351に対しスライダー4の移動筒41のネジ411をねじ込んで螺合させ、先にスプリングバルブ6を組み込んだ状態のノズルカバー5を口部部材3の上外筒35の外周面に対し所定の周方向位置の上から装着させる。最後に、キャップ7を、ノズルカバー5の中径筒52の各セットの縦リブ523に対し所定の周方向位置になるように上から被せ、口部部材3の下外筒33のネジ溝331にねじ込んで螺合させて閉キャップ状態にし、定量注出装置として完成させる。そして、容器本体2に対し液体Qを充填し、充填後の容器本体2の口部21(図1参照)に対し、予め組み付けた状態の定量注出装置1を装着させることで、定量注出装置1と容器本体2とからなる製品としての定量注出容器とすることができる。 Alternatively, a quantitative injection device can be assembled in advance separately from the container body 2. That is, the screw 411 of the moving cylinder 41 of the slider 4 is screwed into the screw groove 351 in the upper outer cylinder 35 of the mouth member 3 and screwed, and the nozzle cover 5 in the state where the spring valve 6 is incorporated first is inserted into the mouth. The member 3 is mounted on the outer peripheral surface of the upper outer cylinder 35 from above at a predetermined circumferential position. Finally, the cap 7 is put on the vertical ribs 523 of each set of the medium-diameter cylinder 52 of the nozzle cover 5 from above so as to be in a predetermined circumferential position, and the screw groove 331 of the lower outer cylinder 33 of the mouth member 3 is covered. It is screwed into and screwed into a closed cap state to complete it as a quantitative injection device. Then, the container body 2 is filled with the liquid Q, and the mouth portion 21 (see FIG. 1) of the container body 2 after filling is equipped with the quantitative injection device 1 in a pre-assembled state to perform quantitative injection. It can be a fixed quantity pouring container as a product composed of the device 1 and the container body 2.

以上の定量注出装置を組み付けた定量注出容器の場合、正立状態においてキャップ7を外すだけで計量室54を非連通状態から連通状態に変換させることができ、キャップ7を外した状態で倒立状態にし、次いでノズルカバー5を逆回転操作するだけで、そのまま頭皮への定量注出・塗布操作を行うことができるようになる。つまり、従来の定量注出容器の如く正立状態から倒立状態にし、倒立状態から正立状態に戻し、再度、倒立状態にしなければ頭皮への注出・塗布操作を行い得なかったものと比べ、倒立状態から正立状態に一旦戻す必要がなく、大幅に操作性を改善することができる。しかも、計量室54内の液体は内部に充満された状態で計量されており自由液面を有さないため、従来のすり切り状態で自由液面を有して計量される場合と比べ、揺れ等を受けても計量室54内の液体量が変化するおそれはなく、所定量の計量を正確に行うことができ、かつ、その正確な計量状態を確実に維持することができる。特に、計量室54を連通状態から非連通状態に戻す操作を行う際に、液体の流出等を考慮する必要がなくなり、取り扱いの容易化を図ることができる。 In the case of the quantitative injection container equipped with the above quantitative injection device, the measuring chamber 54 can be converted from the non-communication state to the communication state by simply removing the cap 7 in the upright state, and the cap 7 is removed. By simply turning the nozzle cover 5 in the reverse direction after turning it upside down, it becomes possible to perform the quantitative injection / coating operation on the scalp as it is. In other words, compared to the conventional fixed-quantity dispensing container, which could not be dispensed / applied to the scalp unless it was changed from an upright state to an inverted state, returned from an inverted state to an upright state, and then returned to an inverted state. , It is not necessary to return from the inverted state to the upright state once, and the operability can be greatly improved. Moreover, since the liquid in the measuring chamber 54 is measured in a state of being filled inside and does not have a free liquid level, it is shaken or the like as compared with the case where the liquid is measured with a free liquid level in the conventional frayed state. There is no possibility that the amount of liquid in the measuring chamber 54 will change even if the liquid is received, and a predetermined amount of liquid can be accurately measured, and the accurate measuring state can be reliably maintained. In particular, when the operation of returning the measuring chamber 54 from the communicating state to the non-communication state is performed, it is not necessary to consider the outflow of liquid and the like, and the handling can be facilitated.

さらに、非使用時、つまりキャップ7が容器本体2に被せられた状態では、計量室54側の透孔421,421は容器本体2側の連通孔342と遮断された非連通状態にされているため、正立状態ではなくて横倒し等の状態に置かれたとしても、容器本体2内に収容された液体Qは密封状態に維持され、液漏れ等の発生を回避することができる。しかも、キャップ7により閉キャップ状態にされていれば、密封状態に維持されていることが分かる一方、キャップ7が外された開キャップ状態であれば、開キャップ操作により既に計量可能状態に変換されており、一定量の液体Qを注出・塗布し得る状態になっていることが外見を見るだけでユーザーは把握することができる。 Further, when not in use, that is, when the cap 7 is put on the container body 2, the through holes 421 and 421 on the measuring chamber 54 side are in a non-communication state blocked from the communication holes 342 on the container body 2 side. Therefore, even if the liquid Q is placed in a state such as lying down instead of in an upright state, the liquid Q contained in the container body 2 is maintained in a sealed state, and the occurrence of liquid leakage or the like can be avoided. Moreover, if it is closed by the cap 7, it can be seen that it is maintained in the sealed state, while if the cap 7 is removed and the cap is opened, it is already converted into a measurable state by the opening cap operation. The user can grasp that a certain amount of liquid Q can be poured out and applied just by looking at the appearance.

<他の実施形態>
本発明は前記実施形態に限らず、種々の形態を含むものである。すなわち、前記実施形態において、キャップ7の一部を構成する外部材71は、容器本体2の形状に併せて外観のデザイン性を発揮する形状を備えるように形成されるものであるため、これを省略し、例えば図11(a)に示すように、内部材72のみによって構成されたキャップ7′を備えた定量注出装置1aとすることができる。あるいは、内部材72自体の外周面をデザイン性を考慮した所定形状を有するものに変更し、このように内部材のみによってキャップを構成することもできる。さらに、キャップ7自体を省略して定量注出装置を構成することができる。例えば図11(b)に示すように、キャップ7無しで定量注出装置1bを構成することができる。この場合は、スライダー4の下降位置から上昇位置への変換を、キャップ7の開キャップ操作に代えて、ノズルカバー5自体を掴んで開方向Wへ回転操作することになる。この場合も、キャップ7の開キャップ操作によるスライダー4の自動上昇の代わりに、ノズルカバー5の回転操作によるスライダー4の自動上昇を得ることができる他、それ以外の作用効果として前記実施形態と同様のものを得ることができる。なお、キャップ7無しで構成する場合、ノズル孔50及びノズル孔50から突出する軸部62をカバーするための保護カバー8をノズルカバー5に着脱可能に外嵌させるようにすることができる。また、キャップ7を外部材71のみにより構成し、この外部材71を口部部材3或いは容器本体2に対して着脱可能に外嵌させるようにすることができる。
<Other Embodiments>
The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, but includes various embodiments. That is, in the above-described embodiment, the outer member 71 forming a part of the cap 7 is formed so as to have a shape that exhibits the design of the appearance in accordance with the shape of the container body 2. Omitted, for example, as shown in FIG. 11 (a), a quantitative injection device 1a provided with a cap 7'consisting only of the inner member 72 can be used. Alternatively, the outer peripheral surface of the inner member 72 itself may be changed to one having a predetermined shape in consideration of design, and the cap may be configured only by the inner member in this way. Further, the quantitative injection device can be configured by omitting the cap 7 itself. For example, as shown in FIG. 11B, the quantitative injection device 1b can be configured without the cap 7. In this case, the conversion of the slider 4 from the descending position to the ascending position is performed by grasping the nozzle cover 5 itself and rotating it in the opening direction W instead of the cap 7 opening operation. In this case as well, instead of automatically raising the slider 4 by opening the cap 7, the slider 4 can be automatically raised by rotating the nozzle cover 5, and other effects are the same as in the above-described embodiment. You can get one. In the case of the configuration without the cap 7, the protective cover 8 for covering the nozzle hole 50 and the shaft portion 62 protruding from the nozzle hole 50 can be detachably fitted to the nozzle cover 5. Further, the cap 7 may be composed of only the outer member 71, and the outer member 71 may be detachably fitted to the mouth member 3 or the container body 2.

前記実施形態では、口部部材3を含んで定量注出装置を構成した例を示したが、これに限らず、口部部材3を省略して定量注出装置を構成することができる。例えば、口部部材3に相当する部分、特に上内筒34及び上外筒35に相当する部分を容器本体2の口部21に一体に形成した専用の容器本体を用いることで、口部部材3を省略して定量注出装置を構成することができる。従って、この場合には、そのような専用の容器本体と、口部部材3を省略した定量注出装置とを備えた定量注出容器とすることができる。 In the above embodiment, an example in which the quantitative injection device is configured by including the mouth member 3 is shown, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the quantitative injection device can be configured by omitting the mouth member 3. For example, by using a dedicated container body in which a portion corresponding to the mouth member 3, particularly a portion corresponding to the upper inner cylinder 34 and the upper outer cylinder 35 is integrally formed with the mouth portion 21 of the container body 2, the mouth portion member The quantitative injection device can be configured by omitting 3. Therefore, in this case, the fixed-quantity dispensing container can be provided with such a dedicated container main body and a fixed-quantity dispensing device in which the mouth member 3 is omitted.

又、前記の実施形態では、スライダー4として凸部43を備えたものを示したが、これに限らず、凸部43に代えて、凸部43と同様の役割を果たす凸部を弁体63の円盤部から下向きに突出するよう弁体63に一体に形成することができる。あるいは、スライダー4及び弁体63の双方から相対向方向に突出する凸部をそれぞれ形成することで、凸部43に代えることができる。なお、かかる凸部43又は凸部を省略することもできる。凸部43を省略すると、スライダーの上昇位置において、スプリングバルブ6の弁体63をロックする機能は具備し得ないことになるものの、その他の定量注出装置としての基本的な作用効果は全て得ることができる。 Further, in the above-described embodiment, the slider 4 provided with the convex portion 43 is shown, but the present invention is not limited to this, and instead of the convex portion 43, a convex portion that plays the same role as the convex portion 43 is used as the valve body 63. It can be integrally formed with the valve body 63 so as to project downward from the disk portion of the above. Alternatively, the convex portion 43 can be replaced by forming the convex portions protruding from both the slider 4 and the valve body 63 in the opposite directions. The convex portion 43 or the convex portion may be omitted. If the convex portion 43 is omitted, the function of locking the valve body 63 of the spring valve 6 cannot be provided at the raised position of the slider, but all other basic functions and effects as a quantitative injection device can be obtained. be able to.

さらに、前記実施形態では、スライダー4の内周側が口部部材3の膨出部344と摺動可能に密接することによりシールされる一方、スライダー4の外周側がノズルカバー5のシール筒部524の先端部525が摺動可能に密接することによりシールされた状態で、スライダー4自体が軸心Xに沿って昇降変位可能に構成されているが、シール部(膨出部344又は先端部525)の形成位置や、その形成対象の部材(口部部材3又はノズルカバー5)については特に限定されず、前記実施形態とは異なる形成位置や形成部材を選択することができる。例えば、スライダー4の側にシール部を形成することができる。 Further, in the above-described embodiment, the inner peripheral side of the slider 4 is sealed by being slidably brought into close contact with the bulging portion 344 of the mouth member 3, while the outer peripheral side of the slider 4 is the seal cylinder portion 524 of the nozzle cover 5. The slider 4 itself is configured to be vertically displaceable along the axis X in a state where the tip portion 525 is slidably brought into close contact with the slider 4, but the seal portion (bulging portion 344 or tip portion 525). The forming position and the member (mouth member 3 or nozzle cover 5) to be formed are not particularly limited, and a forming position and a forming member different from the above-described embodiment can be selected. For example, a seal portion can be formed on the side of the slider 4.

前記実施形態では、軸Xが上下方向に延びてスライダー4が昇降作動する構成例を示したが、これに限らず、軸Xが横に延びてスライダーが横向きに進退作動するように構成することができる。例えば、口部部材3の上内筒34や上外筒35の両部分が横向きに突出し、中足筒31、下内筒32及び下外筒33が下向きに延びるように形成し、横向きの上内筒や上外筒に対しスライダー4やノズルカバー5等を横向きに結合させることができる。これにより、容器本体2の上向きに開口する口部21に装着する定量注出装置としてL字を上下逆転させた如く横に折れ曲がった状態のものを構成することができる。この場合、軸Xは横向きに延びることになるため、スライダー4は横向きに進退移動することにより、後退位置(前記実施形態の下降位置に対応)と、前進位置(前記実施形態の上昇位置に対応)との間を位置変換することになる。 In the above embodiment, the configuration example in which the axis X extends in the vertical direction and the slider 4 moves up and down is shown, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the axis X extends laterally and the slider moves forward and backward in the horizontal direction. Can be done. For example, both portions of the upper inner cylinder 34 and the upper outer cylinder 35 of the mouth member 3 project laterally, and the middle foot cylinder 31, the lower inner cylinder 32, and the lower outer cylinder 33 are formed so as to extend downward, and the upper inner cylinder 34 and the lower outer cylinder 33 are formed so as to extend laterally. The slider 4, the nozzle cover 5, and the like can be connected sideways to the inner cylinder and the upper outer cylinder. As a result, it is possible to configure a fixed-quantity injection device to be attached to the mouth portion 21 that opens upward of the container body 2 in a state of being bent sideways as if the L-shape was turned upside down. In this case, since the axis X extends laterally, the slider 4 moves forward and backward in the lateral direction to correspond to the retracted position (corresponding to the descending position of the embodiment) and the forward position (corresponding to the ascending position of the embodiment). ) Will be repositioned.

また、口部部材3の連通孔342には、例えば実用新案登録第2583154号公報に開示された定量注出容器の通気筒(16)と同様の通気筒を設けることもでき、該通気筒は、通気筒の外周面と連通孔342の内周面とを接続する周方向に複数のリブによって垂設保持できる。この場合、上記リブは、通気筒の軸方向全長にわたって延設させることができ、これによれば、上記リブによって液体Qの流れを案内して、より円滑に液体Qを計量室54に流出させることができるとともに、計量室54内の空気は通気筒を通って容器本体2の内部に流通することとなるため、計量室54内の空気と容器本体2内の液体Qとの置換がより円滑に行われる。 Further, the communication hole 342 of the mouth member 3 may be provided with a communication cylinder similar to the communication cylinder (16) of the fixed quantity dispensing container disclosed in, for example, Utility Model Registration No. 2583154. , The outer peripheral surface of the communication cylinder and the inner peripheral surface of the communication hole 342 can be vertically held by a plurality of ribs in the circumferential direction. In this case, the rib can be extended over the entire axial length of the through cylinder, and according to this, the rib guides the flow of the liquid Q and allows the liquid Q to flow out to the measuring chamber 54 more smoothly. In addition, since the air in the measuring chamber 54 circulates inside the container body 2 through the through cylinder, the replacement of the air in the measuring chamber 54 with the liquid Q in the container body 2 is smoother. It is done in.

また、前記スプリングバルブ6に代えて、弁体63と台座61とを別部材により構成するとともに、台座61と弁体63との間にコイルスプリング等の付勢手段を設けることによって、弁体63を閉止位置に付勢することもできる。 Further, instead of the spring valve 6, the valve body 63 and the pedestal 61 are formed of separate members, and the valve body 63 is provided with an urging means such as a coil spring between the pedestal 61 and the valve body 63. Can also be urged to the closed position.
