Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 10. In FIG. 5, each component is divided into two along the central axis of the take-out container 30, and only one side thereof is shown. In all drawings, similar components are designated by the same reference numerals, and duplicate description will be omitted as appropriate.
In the present embodiment, the description of the positional relationship (horizontal relationship, etc.) of each component of the container 100 is in a state in which the axial direction of the body portion 12 of the liquid container 10 is arranged in the vertical direction (for example, liquid) unless otherwise specified. This is an explanation of the positional relationship in a state where the bottom portion 13 of the container 10 is placed on a horizontal mounting surface and the container 100 is self-supporting).

As shown in any of FIGS. 1 to 4, the container 100 according to the present embodiment has an opening 25a (FIG. 2, FIG. 4, etc.) for taking out the liquid to the outside, and is a liquid container for storing the liquid. The container 10 is provided with a take-out container 30 that is detachably attached to the liquid container 10. The liquid can be taken out from the liquid container 10 to the take-out container 30 through the opening 25a in the mounted state in which the take-out container 30 is attached to the liquid container 10. At least one of the liquid container 10 and the take-out container 30 has a foam generating unit 125 (FIG. 2, FIG. 4, etc.) that generates bubbles from the liquid. The take-out container 30 has a discharge port 89a for discharging bubbles.

According to the container 100 according to the present embodiment, the liquid can be discharged as bubbles from the take-out container 30, so that the liquid can be more easily applied to the target portion of the application target, and the take-out container can be used. Even a small amount of the liquid taken out in 30 can be applied over a wide range.
The reason why the liquid can be applied to the intended location in the application target more easily is that the bubbles adhere to the discharge port 89a to some extent and are maintained in a state where they do not fall from the discharge port 89a, and the falling speed of the bubbles is non-foam. It can be slower than a liquid in the form. Since it is easy to apply the foam to the intended location, it is possible to prevent the foam from adhering to areas other than the intended location (hands, etc.).
Further, the reason why even a small amount of liquid can be applied over a wide range is that the volume of foam is larger than that of the liquid before foaming.

Here, in the present invention, the liquid is taken out from the liquid container 10 to the take-out container 30 in a non-foam state before the liquid becomes foam, or in a foam state. Is also good.

After that, the foam generation unit 125 of the take-out container 30 can generate bubbles from the liquid, and the bubbles can be discharged to the outside of the take-out container 30 from the discharge port 89a of the take-out container 30. On the other hand, when the liquid container 10 has the foam generation unit 125, the foam generation unit 125 of the liquid container 10 generates bubbles from the liquid, and the liquid is taken out from the liquid container 10 to the take-out container 30 in the state of bubbles, and the take-out container 30 is taken out. The foam can be discharged to the outside of the take-out container 30 from the discharge port 89a of the above. Further, both the liquid container 10 and the take-out container 30 may have the foam generation unit 125.
In the case of the present embodiment, of the liquid container 10 and the take-out container 30, the take-out container 30 is provided with the foam generation unit 125, and the liquid container 10 is not provided with the foam generation unit 125.

Further, a circumferential space is formed between the annular groove 54c of the inner cylinder bottom plate portion 54, the inner peripheral surface of the surrounding wall 63, and the upper surface of the facing plate portion 64. In this circular space, the portions corresponding to the lower ends of the gas supply paths 123 are the bubble generation portions 125 (see FIG. 6), respectively. Further, bubble holes 64b are arranged at positions directly below each of the gas supply paths 123 (positions directly below each of the bubble generation portions 125). The gas supply path 123, which is not originally shown in FIG. 6, is shown in FIG. 6 as a two-dot chain line so that the positional relationship between the gas supply path 123, the bubble generation unit 125, and the bubble hole 64b when the container 100 is viewed in a plan view can be understood.

As shown in FIG. 6, in the radial direction of the first member 50, the central end of each of these linear flow paths communicates with the central opening 54a. Further, in the radial direction of the first member 50, the outer end portion of each of these linear flow paths has the above-mentioned circular shape between the annular groove 54c of the inner cylinder bottom plate portion 54 and the inner peripheral surface of the surrounding wall 63. It communicates with the space of.
As shown in FIG. 6, each bubble generation unit 125 is arranged at an intermediate position between adjacent radiation grooves 54b in the circumferential direction of the first member 50.

As shown in FIG. 6, the take-out container 30 is provided with a liquid supply path 121 for supplying a liquid to the foam generation unit 125.
Each liquid supply path 121 is configured to include a linear flow path between the radiation groove 54b and the upper surface of the facing board portion 64, and a part of the circumferential space.
In the radial direction of the first member 50, the inner end of the linear flow path between the radiation groove 54b and the upper surface of the facing board portion 64 is a liquid introduction port 122 for introducing the liquid into the liquid supply path 121. Consists of.

When the squeeze operation is performed on the squeeze unit 41, the liquid in the take-out container 30 flows into the liquid supply path 121 from the central opening 54a through the liquid introduction port 122. That is, first, it flows into each of the eight linear flow paths. Then, when it passes through the linear flow path and reaches the circular space, it branches into two and heads toward one of the adjacent bubble generation portions 125.
Liquid is supplied to each bubble generation unit 125 from one of the two adjacent linear flow paths through a part of the circumferential space, and the other linear flow path. The liquid is supplied from the above through another part of the circular space.
In this way, the liquid is supplied to each bubble generation unit 125 from two directions facing each other. Further, gas is supplied to each bubble generation unit 125 through the gas supply path 123 from a direction intersecting the liquid supply direction (direction orthogonal to the liquid supply direction in the present embodiment).
The details of the operation of the container 100 will be described later.

As can be seen from the above description, the take-out container 30 extends from the lower side to the upper side in the take-out container 30 and supplies the gas in the take-out container 30 to the foam generation unit 125, and the take-out container. The gas supply pipe 130 has a liquid supply path 121 for supplying the liquid in the 30 to the bubble generation unit 125, and the gas supply pipe 130 has a gas introduction port 131 for introducing a gas into the gas supply pipe 130 at the upper portion of the gas supply pipe (the gas supply pipe 130). For example, the liquid supply path 121 is provided at the upper end), and the liquid introduction port 122 for introducing the liquid into the liquid supply path 121 is provided, and the gas introduction port 131 is arranged at a position higher than the liquid introduction port 122.

A liquid can be supplied to the foam generating unit 125 through the path 121, and bubbles can be generated from the liquid.

Further, as shown in FIG. 2 and the like, the scale 43 is arranged at a position lower than the gas introduction port 131. Further, the scale 43 is arranged at a position higher than the liquid introduction port 122. That is, the take-out container 30 is provided with a scale 43 for measuring the liquid, and the scale 43 is arranged at a position higher than the liquid introduction port 122 and lower than the gas introduction port 131.
Thereby, the amount of the liquid taken out to the take-out container 30 can be measured by the scale 43 without changing the posture of the take-out container 30. For example, the liquid can be taken out from the liquid container 10 to the take-out container 30 while measuring with the scale 43. Then, by continuously performing the squeeze operation without changing the posture of the take-out container 30, the gas is supplied from the gas introduction port 131 to the foam generation unit 125 via the gas supply pipe 130, while the liquid is supplied from the liquid introduction port 122. A liquid can be supplied to the foam generation unit 125 via the supply path 121, and bubbles can be generated from the liquid.

However, the present invention is not limited to this example, and the scale 43 may be arranged at another portion of the take-out container 30. For example, when weighing is performed with the take-out container 30 turned upside down, the scale 43 may be arranged at a position above the gas introduction port 131. Further, a part of the scale 43 may be arranged below the gas introduction port 131, and the remaining part of the scale 43 may be arranged above the gas introduction port 131.

FIG. 3 shows a mounted state in which the take-out container 30 is mounted on the liquid container 10.
In order to attach the take-out container 30 to the liquid container 10, as shown in FIG. 4, the lower portion of the take-out container 30 (the part below the overhanging portion 82) is inserted into the receiving portion 24 of the liquid container 10, and the inside thereof is inserted. The pipe portion 91 is fitted into the fitting cylinder portion 26, and the fitting cylinder portion 83 is fitted into the upper end portion of the upper cylinder portion 21. Then, the annular rib 82a on the lower surface of the overhanging portion 82 is pressed against the upper end 24a of the receiving portion 24.
As a result, the take-out container 30 is airtightly connected to the liquid container 10. That is, the outer peripheral surface of the inner pipe portion 91 is in close contact with the inner peripheral surface of the fitting cylinder portion 26 in a circular manner, and the outer peripheral surface of the fitting cylinder portion 83 is in close contact with the inner peripheral surface of the upper end portion of the upper cylinder portion 21. On the other hand, the annular rib 82a is hermetically and airtightly adhered to the upper end 24a.
In the mounted state, the opening at the lower end of the inner pipe portion 91 faces the opening 25a of the central cylinder portion 25. Further, the discharge pipe 89 is arranged around the portion of the central cylinder portion 25 coaxially with the portion protruding above the inner cylinder bottom portion 23. The inner diameter of the discharge pipe 89 is larger than the outer diameter of the portion of the central cylinder portion 25 that protrudes upward from the inner cylinder bottom portion 23, and is between the inner peripheral surface of the discharge pipe 89 and the outer peripheral surface of the central cylinder portion 25. A gap is formed. Further, the lower end of the discharge pipe 89 is located above the upper surface of the inner cylinder bottom portion 23. Further, the axial direction of the discharge pipe 89 or the like of the take-out container 30 is the vertical direction.
In the mounted state, the take-out container 30 is a lid that closes the opening 25a and the injection port 23a of the liquid container 10.

As shown in FIG. 2, the container 100 may further include a connector 110 that regulates the removal of the withdrawal container 30 from the liquid container 10. The connector 110 contributes to the suppression of the removal container 30 from the liquid container 10 during distribution (transportation, display at a store, etc.) or storage of the container 100, for example.
The connector 110 is configured to include, for example, a cylindrical tubular portion 111 and an inner flange portion 112 projecting inward in an inner flange shape from the upper end of the tubular portion 111.
A screw thread is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the tubular portion 111. The tubular portion 111 has a female screw shape that can be screwed with the upper tubular portion 21 of the mouth and neck component 20.
The inner diameter of the inner flange portion 112 is smaller than the outer diameter of the overhanging portion 82 and larger than the outer diameter of the main cylinder portion 81.
With the take-out container 30 attached to the liquid container 10, the tubular portion 111 of the connector 110 is screwed into the upper tubular portion 21, so that the overhanging portion 82 becomes the inner flange portion 112 and the upper end 24a of the receiving portion 24 ( It is sandwiched between the liquid container 10 and the like), and the removal of the take-out container 30 from the liquid container 10 is restricted.
In the case of this embodiment, the inner diameter of the inner flange portion 112 is smaller than the outer diameter of the squeeze portion 41. Therefore, before screwing the cylinder portion 42 of the take-out container main body constituent member 40 to the main cylinder portion 81 of the lower outer frame constituent member 80, the main cylinder portion 81 is connected to a portion above the overhanging portion 82. It is assumed that the tool 110 is fitted on the outside.
Although the connecting tool 110 is not shown in each of FIGS. 3 to 10, when the container 100 includes the connecting tool 110, for example, the inner flange portion 112 of the connecting tool 110 is caught by the overhanging portion 82. In this state, it is held by the take-out container 30.

The material of each part of the container 100 is not particularly limited, but can be made of, for example, a synthetic resin material. The ball 27b is typically made of metal.

Next, the operation of the container 100 will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 to 10. In each of the drawings of FIGS. 7 to 10, only a part of the reference numerals shown in FIGS. 4 or 5 is shown, so refer to FIG. 4 or FIG. 5 as appropriate.

In order to take out the liquid from the liquid container 10 to the take-out container 30, first, the tubular portion 111 of the connector 110 is removed from the upper tubular portion 21.
Then, as shown in FIG. 7, a squeeze operation is performed on the squeeze unit 41 in a state where the take-out container 30 is attached to the liquid container 10. The squeeze operation can be performed by the user with one hand. For example, as shown in FIG. 7, the squeeze operation can be performed by pinching and crushing the squeeze portion 41 with two or more fingers 140 (thumb and index finger, etc.).
By the squeeze operation, the gas in the take-out container 30 moves into the container body 11 of the liquid container 10 by the path shown by the arrow in FIG. 7.
Specifically, the gas in the squeeze portion 41 or the cylinder portion 42 is the internal space of the peripheral upright wall 56, the internal space of the inner cylinder portion 52, the central opening 54a, the liquid supply path 121, the bubble generation portion 125, and the bubble hole 64b. And move below the bubble hole 64b. Further, this gas passes through the space between the raised curved portion 61b and the third member 66, the bubble hole 69b, and the gap between the annular valve body 72 and the lower surface of the peripheral annular plate 69, and the tubular portion 71 and the intermediate tubular portion. Move to the space with 85. Further, this gas moves in the space between the tubular portion 76 and the tapered portion 87 through the portion corresponding to each first opening 77a in the first mesh 78. Further, this gas moves in the space between the tubular portion 76 and the inner pipe portion 91 through the portion corresponding to each second opening 76a in the second mesh 79. Further, this gas passes through the bubble passage hole 93a, the space between the discharge pipe 89 and the central cylinder portion 25 or the inner pipe portion 91, the space between the central cylinder portion 25 and the receiving portion 24, and the injection port 23a. , Move into the container body 11.
Therefore, by the squeeze operation, the volume of the internal space of the take-out container 30 (in the case of the present embodiment, the volume of the internal space of the squeeze portion 41) is reduced, and the pressure inside the container main body 11 is increased.
When the squeeze operation is performed, the second check valve is in an open state (a state in which the annular valve body 72 is elastically deformed to form a gap between the annular valve body 72 and the lower surface of the peripheral annular plate 69). However, the first check valve is in a closed state (a state in which the internal valve body 73 is in close contact with the upper stage portion 92a).

Next, as shown in FIG. 8, the squeeze operation on the squeeze unit 41 is released while the take-out container 30 is continuously attached to the liquid container 10.
Then, the squeeze portion 41 is elastically restored (squeezed back), the volume of the internal space of the take-out container 30 returns to the original volume, and the liquid in the liquid container 10 is taken out by the path indicated by the arrow in FIG. Taken out at 30. That is, since the internal space of the take-out container 30 becomes a negative pressure, the liquid in the container body 11 of the liquid container 10 is sucked up by the storage unit 31.
Specifically, the liquid in the container body 11 is sucked into the dip tube 17 from the opening at the lower end of the dip tube 17, passes through the dip tube 17, and is discharged upward from the opening 25a through the ball valve 27. Further, this liquid passes through the inner pipe portion 91 and is taken out to the storage portion 31 via the first check valve.
When the squeeze portion 41 is restored, the ball valve 27 is in an open state (a state in which the ball 27b is moved upward in the ball holding portion 27a), and the first check valve is also in an open state (internal valve body 73 is shaken). The second check valve is in a closed state (a state in which the annular valve body 72 is in close contact with the lower surface of the peripheral annular plate 69).

As described above, the pressure inside the container body 11 is increased by the squeeze operation. Therefore, when the liquid in the container body 11 is sucked up by the storage unit 31, the pressure of the gas in the container body 11 promotes the movement of the liquid from the container body 11 to the storage unit 31.
That is, when the squeeze operation is performed in the mounted state, gas is supplied from the take-out container 30 to the liquid container 10, the internal pressure of the liquid container 10 rises, and the liquid container 10 is restored (squeeze back). The pressure inside promotes the movement of the liquid from the liquid container 10 to the take-out container 30.

Next, in order to discharge bubbles from the take-out container 30, the take-out container 30 is first removed from the liquid container 10. That is, the inner pipe portion 91 is pulled out from the fitting cylinder portion 26, the fitting cylinder portion 83 is pulled out from the upper cylinder portion 21, and the take-out container 30 is lifted from the liquid container 10.

Here, as described above, the liquid can be taken out from the liquid container 10 to the take-out container 30 while measuring with the scale 43. Therefore, at the timing when the desired amount of liquid (for example, the amount required for washing by the washing machine) is taken out to the storage unit 31, the restoration of the squeeze unit 41 is stopped, and the take-out container 30 is continuously removed from the liquid container 10. By removing it, a desired amount of liquid can be taken out to the storage unit 31.

Next, as shown in FIG. 9, a squeeze operation is performed on the squeeze unit 41. As a result, bubbles are generated in the bubble generation unit 125, and the bubbles are discharged from the discharge port 89a.
Specifically, as shown by an arrow in FIG. 9, the liquid in the storage unit 31 is introduced into the liquid supply path 121 from the liquid introduction port 122 (FIG. 4) and supplied to the foam generation unit 125 through the liquid supply path 121. Will be done.
Further, as shown by an arrow in FIG. 9, the gas in the upper part in the take-out container 30 is introduced into the gas supply pipe 130 from the gas introduction port 131, and the outer cylinder portion is passed through the gas supply pipe 130 and the upright pipe portion 55. It is introduced into the space between the inner cylinder portion 52 and the inner cylinder portion 52, and is further supplied to the bubble generation portion 125 through the gas supply path 123.
As described above, the liquid is supplied to each bubble generation unit 125 from two directions facing each other, and the gas is supplied from the direction intersecting the liquid supply direction (the direction orthogonal to each other in the present embodiment). Orthogonal.
As a result, fine and uniform bubbles are efficiently generated in each bubble generation unit 125.

The foam generated by each foam generating portion 125 flows down through the foam hole 64b, and further, the space between the raised curved portion 61b and the third member 66, the foam hole 69b, the second check valve, and the like. It passes through the space between the intermediate cylinder portion 85 and the cylinder portion 71 in this order. The bubbles continue to pass through the first mesh 78 to become finer and more uniform. The bubbles continue to pass through the space between the tapered portion 87 and the tubular portion 76, and further pass through the second mesh 79 to become more fine and uniform.
The foam further passes through the space between the cylinder portion 76 and the inner pipe portion 91, the bubble passage hole 93a, and the discharge pipe 89, and is discharged downward from the discharge port 89a.

The foam discharged from the discharge pipe 89 can be easily applied locally to, for example, a dirty part of the laundry such as clothes (for example, a collar or a sleeve) before washing by a washing machine. .. It is also easy to apply the foam over a wide area of the laundry.
If the liquid that can be discharged remains in the storage unit 31 even after the foam is applied to the laundry, the squeeze operation is further performed on the squeeze unit 41 to inject the foam from the take-out container 30 into the washing machine. can do. Then, by putting the laundry coated with foam into the washing machine and performing the washing, the washing machine can be used to wash the laundry using the desired amount of the liquid (laundry detergent).
According to the findings of the present inventors, when applying the laundry detergent to the dirty part of the laundry before washing, it is better to apply the liquid as foam than to apply the non-foam liquid. Detergent power (dirt removal performance) is improved.

When the squeeze operation is released after the squeeze operation on the squeeze unit 41, the squeeze unit 41 elastically returns (squeeze back) as shown in FIG. 10, and the outside air is taken into the internal space of the take-out container 30. At this time, as shown by an arrow in FIG. 10, the outside air enters the discharge pipe 89 from the discharge port 89a, further enters the inner pipe portion 91, and then the liquid is taken into the storage portion 31 in the state of FIG. It is taken into the take-out container 30 by the same route as the case.
When the use of the container 100 is finished, the take-out container 30 is attached to the liquid container 10 as shown in FIG. 3 with the squeeze portion 41 restored as shown in FIG.
In the take-out container 30, bubbles may remain in the foam generating portion 125 or the portion downstream of the foam generating portion 125, but this foam or this foam is non-foamed again. The liquid that has become is collected in the container body 11 via the injection port 23a by its own weight.
