Description

The present invention relates to a coated product in which an operating portion of an extrusion mechanism for pushing the coated material forward is provided on the rear end side of a container for accommodating the coated material.

Conventionally, in a coated product called a glue stick or the like, the solid glue is generally extrudably housed in a container having a container body provided with an operating portion of an extrusion mechanism on the rear end side (for example, non-stick glue). See Patent Document 1).

When such a coated product is placed on a top plate or the like, it is customary to adopt a mode in which the rear end side is facing down, but when such a mounting mode is adopted, the ceiling is used. Since the posture when placed on a board and the posture when used are opposite to each other, it is difficult to intuitively recognize the used state, and there is a problem that the state of use cannot be quickly changed from the state of being placed. do.

Therefore, in order to solve the above-mentioned problem, it is conceivable to adopt a mounting mode on the top plate or the like with the front end side facing down, but in that case, another problem as described below may occur. That is, in such an extrusion mechanism for coated products, a screw rod or the like is integrally formed on the front end side of the operation portion. Therefore, when the operation portion is made relatively large in order to improve operability, the operation is described. The part has to be a cup-shaped one that is open to the rear. Therefore, when the mounting posture is taken with the front end side facing down, the rear end side of the hollow operation part is exposed, which not only looks bad, but also tends to collect dust on the rear end side of the operation part. Occurs.

Such a defect is not limited to the glue stick, but also exists in the coated product in which the coated material is something other than the glue.

An uneven portion for moderation may be provided.

The cap 5 is detachably attached to the front end portion of the container body 4 described above.

The cap 5 is for covering the front end portion of the container body 4 in which the front end portion of the coating material 2 is exposed, and as shown in FIGS. 1, 2, 7, and 8, the container body 4 is used. It has the same cross-sectional shape as the holding region 9 of. That is, as shown in FIGS. 1, 2, 4, 7, and 8, the cap 5 is a cup-shaped one having a front end as a mounting surface 5a, and is a front wall forming the previously described mounting surface 5a. 41 is provided with a cylindrical peripheral wall 43 extending rearward from the vicinity of the outer peripheral surface of the front wall 41 so that the outer peripheral surface 43a of the peripheral wall 43 is continuous with the outer peripheral surface 9a of the holding region 9. It is formed. On the other hand, on the outer peripheral surface 43a of the peripheral wall 43, a mounting step portion 45 that can be engaged with the cap mounting step portion 15 provided on the body 6 of the container body 4 is formed. The diameter of the disk-shaped front wall 41 is set to be larger than the outer diameter of the peripheral wall 43, and the outer peripheral portion of the front wall 41 forms the flange portion 47. That is, the cap 5 has a flange portion 47 having the largest outer diameter at the front end, and the coated product 1 is stabilized in an upright state with the front end surface of the flange portion 47, that is, the previously described mounting surface 5a facing down. It is designed so that it can be placed. In other words, the shape of the container 3 gradually changes from the rear end side to the front end side, and the cross-sectional area on the front end side is set to be larger than the cross-sectional area on the rear end side. This makes it possible to keep the container 3 upright in a stable manner.

With such a configuration, since the opening 25a of the operation unit main body 25 is covered with the operation unit cover 27, the appearance is good and dust and the like are less likely to collect in the operation unit 8 even when used in any posture. A coated product can be provided. That is, even when the operation unit main body 25 is made into a cup shape that opens rearward due to molding reasons, the opening 25a of the operation unit main body 25 is covered by the operation unit cover 27, so that the operation unit main body is covered. It is possible to prevent the inside of the 25 from being exposed to the outside. Therefore, regardless of the posture, the appearance is good and dust and the like are less likely to collect inside the operation unit main body 25. This effect is particularly easy to intuitively recognize the usage state, and the top plate with the front end side, specifically the front of the cap facing down, so that the state of use can be quickly changed from the mounted state to the state of use. It can be remarkably obtained when it is placed on the top or the like. Further, since the operation unit cover 27 is separated from the operation unit main body 25, it is possible to make the operation unit cover 27 a different color from the operation unit main body 25, and the color of the operation unit cover 27 makes it possible to apply the coating material 2. It is possible to clearly distinguish and show a plurality of types of coated products 1 having different characteristics. For example, the color of the operation unit cover 27 when the coating material 2 is a normal solid glue is different from the color of the operation unit cover 27 when the coating material 2 is a special solid glue whose color changes after coating. It is possible to develop various products such as. Further, it becomes possible to engrave characters and figures on the operation cover 27. Therefore, by preparing a plurality of types of relatively small molds for molding the operation cover 27, it is possible to manufacture a plurality of types of coated products 1 having different appearances.

Further, according to the present embodiment, by rotating the operation unit 8, the tip end portion of the coating material 2 stored in the container body 4 can be projected from the front end portion of the container body 4 by a desired amount. Therefore, with the cap 5 removed, the holding area 9 of the container body 4 is held by pinching it from both sides with, for example, the thumb and the index finger, and the tip of the coated object 2 is pressed against an object to be coated such as paper to move. By doing so, the coating material 2 can be applied to a desired portion of the coating object. Since the coating material 2 of this embodiment has a prismatic shape, as shown in FIG. 10, the tip corner portion 2a of the coating material 2 is pressed against the coating object to apply the coating material 2 to a thin linear region. As shown in FIG. 11, the tip side portion 2b of the coating material 2 can be pressed against the coating object to apply the coating material 2 to a wide band-shaped region. At that time, since the holding region 9 picked by the user with the thumb T and the index finger F is formed of a cylindrical surface having a circular cross section, it can be held without discomfort regardless of the usage mode. .. Moreover, even when switching from the first usage mode shown in FIG. 10 to the second usage mode shown in FIG. 11, the thumb T and the index finger F are finely moved without being separated from the container body 4 to move the container body 4 to the axis L. Since it is only necessary to rotate it around, various coating actions can be performed efficiently. Further, it is easy to take an intermediate usage pattern between the usage pattern shown in FIG. 10 and the usage pattern shown in FIG. 11, and it is possible to proceed with the coating work while finely adjusting the coating width. Further, by devising the cross-sectional shape of the coating material 2, the coating width can be changed in a plurality of stages or can be changed continuously. Moreover, since the rear end side of the container body 4, more specifically, the rear end side 6b of the body 6 has a polygonal cross-sectional shape corresponding to the cross-sectional shape of the coating material 2, the coated material is formed even when the cap 5 is attached. Not only can the shape of 2 be suggested to the user, but also the coating material 2 can be accommodated without a gap inside the coating material 2, and the dead space can be minimized to make the entire coated product 1 compact.

The coated product is not limited to the one in which the cap is placed upright with the cap attached, but if the front end surface of the cap is used as the mounting surface as in the above embodiment, the desk is in a stable state. It can be erected on the upper surface. In particular, if the cap has a flange portion at the front end, the stability can be improved and the cap can be easily attached and detached.

Further, the container is not limited to that of the above-described embodiment, but if the container is as described above, it is possible to realize a stable standing posture both in appearance and in substance.

Of course, the mode of the operation unit cover is not limited to that of the above-described embodiment, and may be, for example, one that can be easily attached and detached and can be freely replaced by the user.

In addition, various changes may be made as long as the gist of the present invention is not impaired.
