However, in the above-mentioned conventional coating container, since the soft portion is formed in a shaft shape at the tip of the coating stopper, when the coating stopper is pressed against the coated portion such as the scalp or the skin, the coated portion is pressed. On the other hand, the soft part tends to be in point contact. Therefore, stress tends to be concentrated from the soft part to a part of the part to be coated, and for example, a soft coating feel cannot be obtained, and the soft characteristics cannot be fully exhibited, resulting in discomfort. May bring.

The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a coating container capable of performing soft contact with a portion to be coated and capable of performing comfortable and comfortable coating. Is.

(1) The coating container according to the present invention is attached to a bottomed tubular container body in which the contents to be applied to the coated portion are stored and the mouth portion of the container body, and communicates with the inside of the container body. A measuring cylinder having a discharge cylinder portion that forms a measuring chamber that communicates with the inside of the container body through the communication hole between the inner plug member having a hole formed therein and the inner plug member and communicates with the measuring chamber. The discharge cylinder is provided with a member, a coating plug disposed in the discharge cylinder portion and in the measuring chamber so as to be movable in the direction of the container axis, and an overcap removably attached to the mouth portion of the container body. The inside of the portion or the inside of the coating plug is a discharge hole that communicates between the measuring chamber and the outside, and the coating plug cuts off the communication between the discharge hole and the measuring chamber and passes through the communication hole. A measuring position that allows communication between the measuring chamber and the inside of the container body, and a communication hole that is located closer to the communication hole than the measuring position, and that allows communication between the discharge hole and the measuring chamber, and the communication hole. It is possible to move between the coating position that blocks communication between the measuring chamber and the inside of the container body through the container body, and the position surrounding the discharge hole from the radial outside of the container body is around the container axis. An elastic body formed so as to extend along the above is provided, the coating plug includes a coating tube portion arranged inside the discharge tube portion, and the overcap covers the coating plug and the elastic body. It has a pull-up cylinder portion that is formed in a ridged cylinder shape and has a second engaging protrusion that is detachably engaged with the first engaging protrusion formed on the coating cylinder portion, and has the second engaging protrusion. When the overcap is disengaged, the protrusion engages with the first engaging protrusion to move the coating plug from the coating position to the measuring position, and the elastic body is attached to the discharge cylinder portion. A mounting cylinder portion to be mounted, a connecting cylinder portion extending from the mounting cylinder portion toward the outside along the container axial direction, and elastically deformable in the container axial direction, and a tip portion of the connecting cylinder portion. An annular top wall portion protruding inward in the radial direction from the top wall portion is provided, and a through hole through which the pull-up cylinder portion is inserted is formed in the top wall portion when the overcap is attached. When the overcap is attached, the portion is elastically deformed so that the connecting cylinder portion is crushed by the overcap so as to approach the discharge cylinder portion side, and the tip surface thereof is closer to the discharge cylinder portion than the discharge cylinder portion. It is located on the outer side along the container axis direction, and in the top wall portion, the connecting cylinder portion is elastically restored and deformed when the overcap is detached. By doing so, it is arranged at the coating position away from the tip surface of the coating plug on the outer side along the container axial direction .

According to the coating container according to the present invention, when the contents are applied, the posture of the container body is changed so that the tip surface of the coating stopper faces downward while the coating stopper is located at the measuring position. The contents in the container body can be flowed into the measuring chamber through the communication hole, and the contents can be weighed in the measuring chamber. Therefore, by pressing the tip surface of the coating plug against the portion to be coated and moving the coating plug toward the communication hole side with respect to the measuring cylinder member, the coating plug can be moved from the measuring position to the coating position. By moving the coating plug to the coating position, it is possible to block the communication between the inside of the container body and the measuring chamber through the communication hole, and also allow the communication between the discharge hole and the measuring chamber. Therefore, the contents measured in the measuring chamber can be supplied to the discharge hole side while restricting the inflow of the contents from the inside of the container body through the communication hole into the measuring chamber. Therefore, the content discharged from the discharge hole can be applied to the portion to be coated by using, for example, the tip surface of the coating plug.

In particular, since it is provided with an elastic body, the tip surface of the elastic body is applied to the coated portion when the coating plug is pressed against the coated portion to move to the coated position or before reaching the coated position. Can be contacted. Therefore, the elastic body can be elastically deformed when the content is applied, and the pressing force or impact on the portion to be coated can be relaxed or absorbed by utilizing the elastic deformation of the elastic body. Therefore, it is possible to give a soft coating feel to the portion to be coated, and it is possible to perform a comfortable and comfortable coating. Moreover, since the elastic body is arranged so as to surround the discharge hole from the outside in the radial direction and is formed so as to extend along the circumference of the container axis, it is possible to secure a contact area with respect to the portion to be coated. Therefore, the elastic body can be brought into contact with the portion to be coated in a state where a larger contact area is secured than in the conventional case, for example, in line contact or surface contact, instead of the conventional point contact. Therefore, the elastic body can be used to easily disperse the pressing force and the impact on the portion to be coated, and soft contact with the portion to be coated can be performed.
Further, since the elastic body is arranged so as to surround the discharge hole from the outside in the radial direction, it is possible to prevent the applied content from moving from the coating position to the surroundings when the content is applied. It can make it difficult to spread the contents. Therefore, it is easy to apply the contents to the target position of the portion to be coated.
Further, when the coating plug is located at the coating position, the top wall of the elastic body and the tip surface of the coating plug are arranged apart from each other in the container axis direction, so that the connecting cylinder portion is separated by the stroke (distance). Can be elastically deformed in the axial direction of the container. Therefore, while the coating plug is moved from the measuring position to the coating position and the contents are applied, the connecting cylinder portion can be elastically deformed by the above stroke. Therefore, the elastic body can be elastically deformed more greatly, and high cushioning property can be exhibited. As a result, softer contact can be made with the portion to be coated, and more comfortable and comfortable coating can be performed.

(2) The elastic body may be formed in an annular shape.

In this case, the contact area of the elastic body with respect to the portion to be coated can be further secured, and the contact with the portion to be coated can be more effectively and softly contacted. In addition, since the elastic body can be used to surround the circumference of the discharge hole over the entire circumference, it is possible to prevent the coated contents from moving from the coating position to the surroundings, and the contents are located at the target position of the coated portion. Objects can be applied pinpoint.

(3) On the tip surface of the elastic body, a protrusion protruding toward the outside along the container axial direction may be formed.

In this case, when the content is applied, the protrusion can be pressed against the portion to be coated, so that the protrusion can be used locally while making soft contact with the portion to be coated. It is possible to give a stimulus, and more comfortable application can be performed.

( 4 ) The inside of the discharge cylinder portion is used as the discharge hole, and the elastic body is formed with a slit hole that opens with elastic deformation of the connecting cylinder portion and allows the discharge hole and the outside to communicate with each other. Is also good.

In this case, even if the discharge hole is temporarily blocked by the elastically deformed elastic body when the content is applied, the content can be supplied to the coated portion side through the slit hole. Therefore, the contents can be stably applied.

( 5 ) When the coating plug is located at the measuring position, the top wall portion and the coating plug may come into contact with each other.

In this case, since the top wall and the coating plug come into contact with each other when the coating plug is located at the weighing position, for example, when weighing the contents with the tip surface of the coating plug facing downward, the contents are measured. Even if an object adheres to the coating plug, it is possible to prevent the content from dripping down along the coating plug by using the top wall portion. Therefore, it is possible to perform weighing while preventing, for example, dripping.

According to the coating container according to the present invention, soft contact with the coated portion can be performed, and comfortable and comfortable coating can be performed.

The inside of the discharge cylinder portion 7 is a discharge hole 12 that communicates the measuring chamber 6 with the outside and discharges the contents to the outside.

On the outer peripheral surface of the discharge cylinder portion 7, a retaining recess 47 is formed which is recessed inward in the radial direction and extends along the circumferential direction. The retaining recess 47 may be formed in an annular shape over the entire circumference of the discharge cylinder portion 7, or may be formed in plurality at intervals in the circumferential direction.

Of the internal space of the measuring cylinder member 8 configured as described above, the space defined by the inner plug member 5, the intermediate cylinder portion 41, the second connecting wall portion 43, and the coating plug 9 is defined as the measuring chamber 6. There is.

The coating plug 9 is arranged so as to be movable in the vertical direction in the discharge cylinder portion 7 and the measuring chamber 6. Specifically, FIG. 3 shows that the coating plug 9 blocks communication between the discharge hole 12 and the inside of the measuring chamber 6 and allows communication between the inside of the container body 2 and the inside of the measuring chamber 6 through the communication hole 4. The measuring position P1 is located on the communication hole 4 side of the measuring position P1, allows communication between the discharge hole 12 and the inside of the measuring chamber 6, and inside the container body 2 and the measuring chamber 6 through the communication hole 4. It is possible to move in the vertical direction between the coating position P2 shown in FIG. 1 and the coating position P2, which cuts off the communication between the two.

In this embodiment, when the overcap 11 is attached to the mouth portion 3 of the container body 2, the coating plug 9 is located at the coating position P2. However, when the overcap 11 is attached, the coating plug 9 does not need to be located at the coating position P2.
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the upper end portion (tip portion) 50a of the coating plug 9 has a discharge cylinder portion regardless of whether the coating plug 9 is located at the measuring position P1 or the coating position P2. It is arranged above 7 (outside side along the container axis O direction).

Hereinafter, the configuration of the coating plug 9 will be described in detail.
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the coating plug 9 extends downward from the coating cylinder portion 50 arranged inside the discharge cylinder portion 7 and the lower end portion of the coating cylinder portion 50, and has an outer diameter thereof. A sliding cylinder portion 51 formed larger than the coating cylinder portion 50, and a hanging cylinder portion extending downward from the lower end portion of the sliding cylinder portion 51 and having an outer diameter larger than that of the sliding cylinder portion 51. 52 and an annular lip portion 53 that protrudes downward from the lower end portion of the hanging cylinder portion 52 and is tightly fitted to the inner peripheral surface of the peripheral wall portion 30b of the receiving cylinder portion 30 so as to be detachable. It is provided coaxially with the container shaft O.

The outer diameter of the coating cylinder portion 50 is formed to be smaller than the inner diameter of the discharge cylinder portion 7. Therefore, an annular gap through which the contents can flow is formed between the coating cylinder portion 50 and the discharge cylinder portion 7. As a result, when the coating plug 9 is located at the coating position P2, communication between the discharge hole 12 and the inside of the measuring chamber 6 can be allowed, and communication from the inside of the measuring chamber 6 to the outside through the discharge hole 12 and the above gap can be allowed. It becomes possible to eject the contents toward the communication.

A plurality of vertically long groove portions 54 opened upward are formed on the outer peripheral surface of the coating cylinder portion 50 at intervals in the circumferential direction. Therefore, the contents can be circulated through the plurality of grooves 54, and the contents can be smoothly discharged to the outside. However, the groove portion 54 is not essential and may not be provided.

The upper end portion 50a of the coating cylinder portion 50 is located above the discharge cylinder portion 7 as described above. Therefore, the upper end surface 50b of the coating cylinder portion 50, that is, the upper end surface (tip surface) 50b of the coating plug 9, is discharged regardless of whether the coating plug 9 is located at the measuring position P1 or the coating position P2. It is arranged above the cylinder portion 7. In the illustrated example, the upper end surface 50b of the coating cylinder portion 50 is formed flat, but for example, it may be formed into a convex curved surface shape or a hemispherical shape bulging upward.

The upper end portion 50a of the coating cylinder portion 50 is formed with a first engaging protrusion 55 that projects inward in the radial direction and extends along the circumferential direction. The first engaging protrusions 55 may be formed in an annular shape over the entire circumference of the coating cylinder portion 50, or may be formed in plurality at intervals in the circumferential direction.

The outer diameter of the sliding cylinder portion 51 is substantially the same as the inner diameter of the discharge cylinder portion 7, and as the coating plug 9 moves, the sliding cylinder portion 51 is in close contact with the inner peripheral surface of the discharge cylinder portion 7 in the vertical direction. It is said that it can be moved relative to. Therefore, when the coating plug 9 is located at the measuring position P1 shown in FIG. 3, the sliding cylinder portion 51 comes into close contact with the inner peripheral surface of the discharge cylinder portion 7 to seal the discharge hole 12. This makes it possible to block the communication between the discharge hole 12 and the inside of the measuring chamber 6 when the coating plug 9 is located at the measuring position P1.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the lower end portion of the coating cylinder portion 50 is located slightly above the second connecting wall portion 43 of the measuring cylinder member 8. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the outer peripheral surface of the sliding cylinder portion 51 on the upper end side is an inclined surface whose diameter gradually decreases from the lower side to the upper side, and is not in contact with the measuring cylinder member 8. Therefore, when the coating plug 9 is located at the coating position P2, the discharge hole 12 and the inside of the measuring chamber 6 are appropriately communicated with each other.
If it is possible to block the communication between the discharge hole 12 and the inside of the measuring chamber 6 when the coating plug 9 is located at the measuring position P1, for example, rather than the second connecting wall portion 43 of the measuring cylinder member 8. The coating cylinder portion 50 may be formed so as to extend downward.

At the lower end of the coating cylinder portion 50, a partition wall portion 56 that vertically partitions the internal space of the coating plug 9 is formed. As a result, the inside of the coating cylinder portion 50 is opened upward, and the inside of the sliding cylinder portion 51 and the hanging cylinder portion 52 is opened downward.

The lower end of the sliding cylinder 51 is located slightly above the upper end of the inner cylinder 34 of the inner plug member 5. An annular stopper wall 57 facing upward is formed at the connecting portion between the lower end portion of the sliding cylinder portion 51 and the upper end portion of the hanging cylinder portion 52. The stopper wall 57 comes into contact with the second connecting wall portion 43 of the measuring cylinder member 8 from below when the coating plug 9 is located at the measuring position P1 shown in FIG. The stopper wall 57 may be brought into close contact with the second connecting wall portion 43 from below to seal the inside of the measuring chamber 6 and the discharge hole 12.
When the stopper wall 57 comes into contact with the second connecting wall portion 43 from below, the coating plug 9 is restricted from moving further upward with respect to the measuring cylinder member 8, and is positioned at the measuring position P1. .. Therefore, the measuring position P1 corresponds to the highest rising position of the coating plug 9.

As shown in FIG. 1, the lip portion 53 is tightly fitted so as to be movable in the vertical direction with respect to the inner peripheral surface of the peripheral wall portion 30b in the receiving cylinder portion 30 when the coating plug 9 is located at the coating position P2. , As shown in FIG. 3, when the coating plug 9 is located at the measuring position P1, it is separated upward from the peripheral wall portion 30b in the receiving cylinder portion 30. Then, as shown in FIG. 1, the lip portion 53 is tightly fitted to the inner peripheral surface of the peripheral wall portion 30b in the receiving cylinder portion 30, so that the inside of the container body 2 and the inside of the measuring chamber 6 through the communication hole 4 are formed. Communication with is cut off.

As a result, when the coating plug 9 is located at the measuring position P1 as shown in FIG. 3, communication between the inside of the container body 2 and the inside of the measuring chamber 6 through the communication hole 4 can be allowed, and FIG. 1 shows. As shown, when the coating plug 9 is located at the coating position P2, it is possible to block the communication between the inside of the container body 2 and the inside of the measuring chamber 6 through the communication hole 4.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the partition wall portion 56 is formed with a guide cylinder portion 58 that extends downward and surrounds the guide shaft portion 31 from the outside in the radial direction. The guide cylinder portion 58 is arranged coaxially with the container shaft O, and the inside of the sliding cylinder portion 51 and the hanging cylinder portion 52 with a gap between the sliding cylinder portion 51 and the hanging cylinder portion 52. Is located in. The inner diameter of the guide cylinder portion 58 is formed to be slightly larger than the outer diameter of the guide shaft portion 31. As a result, the coating plug 9 can be moved in the vertical direction with less rattling while being guided by the guide shaft portion 31.

The guide cylinder portion 58 projects downward from the lip portion 53, and its lower end portion is in contact with the support portion 37 of the inner plug member 5 from above. As a result, the coating plug 9 is supported from below by the support portion 37 at the coating position P2. Therefore, the coating plug 9 is restricted from moving further downward with respect to the measuring cylinder member 8, and is positioned at the coating position P2. Therefore, the coating position P2 corresponds to the lowest descending position of the coating plug 9.

Further, a shaft body 59 is projected upward from the central portion of the partition wall portion 56. The shaft body 59 is formed in a solid columnar shape whose outer diameter is smaller than the inner diameter of the coating cylinder portion 50, and is arranged coaxially with the container shaft O. The upper end portion of the shaft body 59 is located below the upper end portion 50a of the coating cylinder portion 50. The shaft body 59 is not essential and may not be provided.

The elastic body 10 is formed so as to extend around the container shaft O so as to surround the discharge hole 12 from the outside in the radial direction, and is integrally combined with the outer peripheral surface side of the discharge cylinder portion 7 in the measuring cylinder member 8.
Specifically, the elastic body 10 is formed in an annular shape (cylindrical shape) that surrounds the discharge cylinder portion 7 from the outside in the radial direction, and is firmly fixed to the discharge cylinder portion 7 in a state of being arranged coaxially with the container shaft O. Has been done. The upper end portion 10a of the elastic body 10 projects upward from the discharge cylinder portion 7 and protrudes inward in the radial direction so as to be in contact with the upper end opening end of the discharge cylinder portion 7.

Therefore, the upper end surface (tip surface) 10b of the elastic body 10 is formed in an annular shape so as to surround the periphery of the discharge hole 12 over the entire circumference. Further, the upper end surface 10b of the elastic body 10 is arranged at a height equivalent to the tip end surface 50b of the coating plug 9 (that is, the upper end surface 50b of the coating cylinder portion 50). As a result, the upper end surface 10b of the elastic body 10 is located above the discharge cylinder portion 7, and when the coating plug 9 is located at the coating position P2, the position in the vertical direction with the upper end surface 50b of the coating plug 9 is aligned. It is considered to be equivalent.

On the inner peripheral surface of the elastic body 10, a retaining protrusion 60 that protrudes inward in the radial direction and enters the retaining recess 47 formed in the discharge cylinder portion 7 is formed corresponding to the retaining recess 47. Has been done. As a result, the elastic body 10 is fixed to the discharge cylinder portion 7 in a state where the elastic body 10 is prevented from coming off upward.

The elastic body 10 configured as described above is preferably made of a soft material that is softer than the material that forms the coating plug 9, for example. Examples of this kind of soft material include, but are not limited to, nitrile rubber, butyl rubber, silicon rubber, elastomer and the like.
Further, the elastic body 10 can be formed by, for example, a so-called insert molding in which a soft material is injection-molded using the measuring cylinder member 8 as an insert component. Further, as an alternative to insert molding, for example, after forming the measuring cylinder member 8 and the elastic body 10 separately, the coating plug 9 is firmly fitted or fixed to the discharge cylinder portion 7 of the measuring cylinder member 8 to be integrally formed. You may combine them.

The overcap 11 is formed in an ecstatic cylinder shape including a cap cylinder 70 that surrounds the mouth portion 3 of the container body 2 from the outside in the radial direction, and a cap top wall 71 that closes the upper end opening of the cap cylinder 70. ..

On the inner peripheral surface of the cap cylinder 70, a second screw portion 72 (for example, a female screw portion) to be screwed into the first screw portion 24 formed in the first mouth portion 22 of the container body 2 is formed. The overcap 11 is detachably attached to the mouth portion 3 of the container body 2 by screwing the cap cylinder 70 to the first mouth portion 22.
However, the method of attaching the overcap 11 is not limited to screwing, and the overcap 11 may be attached by, for example, undercut fitting the cap cylinder 70 to the first opening portion 22.

As shown in FIG. 1, the lower end portion of the cap cylinder 70 protrudes inward in the radial direction, and when the overcap 11 is attached to the mouth portion 3 of the container main body 2, the first of the container main body 2 is attached. A second detent rib 73 that can be contacted with the detent rib 26 from one side in the circumferential direction (the side in the tightening direction of the overcap 11) is formed. In the overcap 11, the second detent rib 73 comes into contact with the first detent rib 26 from one side in the circumferential direction, so that excessive tightening to the mouth portion 3 is suppressed.

At the lower end of the cap cylinder 70, the overcap 11 is placed on the other side of the circumferential direction with respect to the mouth portion 3 of the container body 2 at a portion located on one side in the circumferential direction with respect to the first detent rib 26. When rotated toward the loosening direction side), the protrusion 77 that is in contact with the first detent rib 26 so as to be overcome in the circumferential direction is formed so as to project inward in the radial direction. As a result, the protrusion 77 can prevent the overcap 11 from moving to the other side in the circumferential direction, so that the overcap 11 attached to the mouth 3 can be prevented from loosening.
The case is not limited to the case where the protrusion 77 is formed on the cap cylinder 70 side, and the protrusion may be formed on the container body 2 side, for example. For example, in the first opening portion 22, a protrusion located on the other side of the second detent rib 73 in the circumferential direction so as to be able to get over the second detent rib 73 in the circumferential direction is radially outward. You may make it project toward you. Even in this case, the overcap 11 attached to the mouth portion 3 can be prevented from loosening.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, in the central portion of the cap top wall 71, a pull-up cylinder portion 74 that extends downward and is arranged inside the coating cylinder portion 50 is formed.
The pull-up cylinder portion 74 is arranged coaxially with the container shaft O, and its lower end portion is located below the first engaging protrusion 55 formed on the coating cylinder portion 50 and above the partition wall portion 56. is doing. The shaft body 59 is inserted from below inside the pull-up cylinder portion 74.

The outer peripheral surface of the pulling cylinder portion 74 projects outward in the radial direction and extends in the circumferential direction, and can be detached from below with respect to the first engaging protrusion 55 formed on the upper end portion 50a of the coating cylinder portion 50. A second engaging projection 75 is formed so as to be engageable with the above.
The second engaging projection 75 may be formed in an annular shape over the entire circumference of the pull-up cylinder portion 74, or may be formed in a plurality of positions at intervals in the circumferential direction.

The second engaging protrusion 75 engages with the first engaging protrusion 55 from below as the overcap 11 is disengaged from the mouth portion 3 of the container body 2, and the coating plug 9 is moved upward. It is pulled up and the coating plug 9 is moved from the coating position P2 to the measuring position P1. When the coating plug 9 is located at the measuring position P1 as shown in FIG. 3, the stopper wall 57 comes into contact with the second connecting wall portion 43 from below, so that further upward movement is restricted. Therefore, after the coating plug 9 moves to the measuring position P1, the second engaging protrusion 75 disengages from the first engaging protrusion 55 while overcoming the first engaging protrusion 55.
Therefore, with the detachment of the overcap 11 from the mouth portion 3 of the container body 2, as shown in FIG. 3, it is possible to set the coating plug 9 at the measuring position P1 by using the pull-up cylinder portion 74. ing.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the cap top wall 71 has a third seal cylinder portion 76 that extends downward and is tightly fitted (closely fitted from the outside in the radial direction) to the elastic body 10. It is formed. A high sealing property is ensured between the inner peripheral surface of the third seal cylinder portion 76 and the outer peripheral surface of the elastic body 10.

(Use of coating container)
Next, a case where the contents are applied to the coated portion S by using the coating container 1 configured as described above will be described.

In the state before use, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the overcap 11 is attached to the mouth portion 3 of the container body 2 with the coating plug 9 located at the coating position P2. Since the coating plug 9 is located at the coating position P2, the lip portion 53 is tightly fitted to the inner peripheral surface of the peripheral wall portion 30b of the receiving cylinder portion 30. Therefore, the communication between the inside of the container body 2 and the inside of the measuring chamber 6 through the communication hole 4 is blocked.

In this state, when the overcap 11 is rotated around the container shaft O and removed from the mouth portion 3 of the container body 2, the pull-up cylinder portion 74 moves upward with the removal operation of the overcap 11, so that the second engagement is performed. The protrusion 75 can engage with the first engaging protrusion 55 from below to pull up the coating plug 9. Therefore, by removing the overcap 11 from the mouth portion 3 of the container body 2, the coating plug 9 can be moved from the coating position P2 to the measuring position P1 as shown in FIG. At this time, the stopper wall 57 of the coating plug 9 comes into contact with the second connecting wall portion 43 from below. As a result, the upward movement of the coating plug 9 can be restricted, and the coating can be positioned at the measuring position P1.

By locating the coating plug 9 at the measuring position P1, the sliding cylinder portion 51 can be tightly fitted to the inner peripheral surface of the discharge cylinder portion 7, and the lip portion 53 is received and the peripheral wall portion 30b of the cylinder portion 30 is received. Can be detached upward from. As a result, the communication between the discharge hole 12 and the inside of the measuring chamber 6 can be blocked, and the communication between the inside of the container main body 2 and the inside of the measuring chamber 6 through the communication hole 4 can be allowed.
The coating plug 9 is held at the measuring position P1 by, for example, the sliding resistance between the sliding cylinder portion 51 and the discharge cylinder portion 7.

Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 4, the posture of the coating container 1 is changed so that the upper end surface 50b of the coating plug 9 faces downward. In the illustrated example, the posture of the container body 2 is changed from an upright posture in which the upper end surface 50b of the coating plug 9 faces directly upward to an inverted posture in which the upper end surface 50b of the coating plug 9 faces directly downward. ing. As a result, the contents in the container main body 2 can flow into the measuring chamber 6 through the communication hole 4, and the contents can be weighed in the measuring chamber 6.

Subsequently, the container body 2 is pressed against the coated portion S side in a state where the upper end surface 50b of the coating plug 9 is in contact with the coated portion S. As a result, the coating plug 9 can be moved with respect to the measuring cylinder member 8 toward the communication hole 4 side, that is, toward the inside of the container body 2.
When the coating plug 9 moves toward the communication hole 4, the lip portion 53 enters the peripheral wall portion 30b of the receiving cylinder portion 30 and fits tightly to the inner peripheral surface of the peripheral wall portion 30b as shown in FIG. At the same time, the guide cylinder portion 58 of the coating plug 9 comes into contact with the support portion 37 from the discharge hole 12 side. Further, at the same time as or after the fitting of the lip portion 53, the sliding cylinder portion 51 of the coating plug 9 separates from the inside of the discharge cylinder portion 7 and moves to the communication hole 4 side.

As a result, the coating plug 9 can be moved from the measuring position P1 to the coating position P2, and the discharge hole 12 and the measuring chamber are blocked from communicating with the inside of the container body 2 and the inside of the measuring chamber 6 through the communication hole 4. Communication with the inside of 6 can be allowed. Therefore, the contents weighed in the measuring chamber 6 can be discharged to the outside through the discharge hole 12, and the contents can be applied to the coated portion S by using the upper end surface 50b of the coating plug 9. ..

In particular, since the elastic body 10 is provided, when the coating plug 9 is pressed against the coated portion S and moved to the coating position P2, the upper end surface 10b of the elastic body 10 is covered as shown in FIG. It can be brought into contact with the coated portion S. Therefore, the elastic body 10 can be elastically deformed at the time of coating the contents, and the pressing force, the impact, etc. against the coated portion S can be relaxed or absorbed by utilizing the elastic deformation of the elastic body 10. Therefore, it is possible to give a soft coating feel to the portion S to be coated, and it is possible to perform a comfortable and comfortable coating.

Moreover, since the elastic body 10 is arranged so as to surround the discharge hole 12 from the outside in the radial direction and is formed so as to extend along the circumference of the container axis O, it is possible to secure a contact area with respect to the portion to be coated S. can. Therefore, the elastic body 10 can be brought into contact with the coated portion S in a state where a larger contact area is secured than in the past, for example, in line contact or surface contact, instead of the conventional point contact. Therefore, the elastic body 10 can be used to easily disperse the pressing force and the impact on the portion to be coated S, and soft contact with the portion to be coated can be performed. Moreover, in the present embodiment, since the elastic body 10 is formed in an annular shape, a large contact area of the elastic body 10 with respect to the coated portion S can be secured, and the contact area of the elastic body 10 with respect to the coated portion S can be secured more effectively and softly. Can be contacted.

Further, since the elastic body 10 is arranged so as to surround the discharge hole 12 from the outside in the radial direction, the elastic body 10 prevents the applied contents from moving from the coating position P2 to the periphery when the contents are applied. It can make it difficult to spread the contents. Therefore, it is easy to apply the contents to the target position of the portion S to be applied. Moreover, in the present embodiment, since the elastic body 10 is formed in an annular shape, it is possible to surround the circumference of the discharge hole 12 over the entire circumference, and the content is applied pinpointly at the target position of the portion S to be coated. can do.

As described above, according to the coating container 1 of the present embodiment, soft contact with the coated portion S can be performed, and comfortable and comfortable coating can be performed. Therefore, the coating container 1 can be easily used.

Further, since the elastic body 10 is combined with the discharge cylinder portion 7 of the measuring cylinder member 8, it is easy to design the elastic body 10 with less restrictions, unlike the case where the elastic body 10 is provided on the coating plug 9 which is a movable member, for example. .. Therefore, when designing the elastic body 10, it is easy to devise (design) to secure the contact area with the coated portion S as large as possible, for example, by increasing the diameter of the elastic body 10, and soft contact is realized. Easy to do.

Further, since the overcap 11 having the pull-up cylinder portion 74 is provided, the coating plug 9 can be moved to the measuring position P1 at the stage when the overcap 11 is removed from the mouth portion 3 of the container main body 2. Therefore, preparations for applying the contents can be promptly performed, and usability can be improved.

In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the upper end portion 10a of the elastic body 10 is configured to protrude inward in the radial direction so as to come into contact with the upper end opening end of the discharge cylinder portion 7. The present invention is not limited to this case, and for example, it may be limited to projecting upward from the discharge cylinder portion 7 and may not protrude toward the upper end opening end side of the discharge cylinder portion 7.
However, since a large contact area of the upper end surface 10b of the elastic body 10 with respect to the coated portion S can be secured, the upper end portion 10a of the elastic body 10 is directed toward the upper end opening end side of the discharge cylinder portion 7, as in the present embodiment. It is preferable to make it protrude.

Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, when the coating plug 9 is located at the coating position P2, the upper end surface 10b of the elastic body 10 is at the same height position as the upper end surface 50b of the coating plug 9. The elastic body 10 is formed so as to be, but the present invention is not limited to this case. For example, when the coating plug 9 is located at the coating position P2, the elastic body 10 may be formed so that the upper end surface 10b of the elastic body 10 is located above the upper end surface 50b of the coating plug 9.
In this case, when the coating plug 9 is pressed against the portion S to be coated and the coating plug 9 is moved from the measuring position P1 to the coating position P2, for example, before the coating plug 9 reaches the coating position P2. The upper end surface 10b of the elastic body 10 can be brought into contact with the portion S to be coated first. Therefore, since the elastic body 10 can be elastically deformed from the stage before the coating plug 9 reaches the coating position P2, softer contact can be performed.
Further, when the upper end surface 10b of the elastic body 10 is located above the upper end surface 50b of the coating plug 9, the difference between the upper end surface 10b and the upper end surface 50b (protrusion of the upper end surface 10b with respect to the upper end surface 50b upward). The range of elastic displacement of the elastic body 10 can be determined (adjusted) based on the amount).

(Second Embodiment)
Next, a second embodiment of the coating container according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the second embodiment, the same parts as the components in the first embodiment are designated by the same reference numerals and the description thereof will be omitted.
In the first embodiment, the upper end surface 10b of the elastic body 10 is formed flat, but in the second embodiment, a protrusion is formed on the upper end surface 10b of the elastic body 10.

As shown in FIG. 6, the coating container 80 of the present embodiment includes an elastic body 10 having a protrusion 81 that protrudes further upward from the upper end surface 10b. The protrusion 81 is formed in an annular shape over the entire circumference of the elastic body 10, and extends radially outward from the portion of the upper end surface 10b located on the outer peripheral surface side of the elastic body 10. It is formed.

The overcap 11 of the present embodiment includes an annular seal protrusion 82 that seals the discharge hole 12 in place of the third seal cylinder portion 76 of the first embodiment. The seal protrusion 82 is formed so as to project downward from the cap top wall 71, and is in close contact with the portion of the upper end surface 10b of the elastic body 10 located radially inside the protrusion 81 from above. is doing.

(Use of coating container)
Even with the coating container 80 of the present embodiment configured in this way, the same effects as those of the first embodiment can be achieved.
In addition, as shown in FIG. 7, the protrusion 81 can be pressed against the coated portion S when the content is applied. Therefore, it is possible to give a local stimulus to the portion S to be coated by using the protrusion 81 while performing soft contact with the portion S to be coated, and more comfortable coating can be performed.

The protrusion 81 is not limited to the case where it is formed in an annular shape, and is formed, for example, in a convex shape that bulges upward in a hemispherical shape, or in an arc shape that protrudes upward and extends in the circumferential direction. After that, a plurality of them may be formed at intervals in the circumferential direction.
Further, the upper end surface 10b of the elastic body 10 may be formed on a non-flat surface (for example, a corrugated surface or the like) that repeats unevenness in the circumferential direction, and the portion of the non-flat surface that is convex upward may be used as the protrusion 81. I do not care.

(Third Embodiment)
Next, a third embodiment of the coating container according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the third embodiment, the same parts as the components in the first embodiment are designated by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted.

The upper end is connected. The coating cylinder portion 50 extends downward from the second connecting wall portion 43 of the measuring cylinder member 8. Correspondingly, the partition wall portion 56 is arranged below the second connecting wall portion 43. Further, the partition wall portion 56 is not formed with the shaft body 59 according to the first embodiment.

The outer diameter of the coating cylinder portion 50 is formed to be substantially the same as or slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the discharge cylinder portion 7. This prevents or suppresses the distribution of the contents through the gap between the coating cylinder portion 50 and the discharge cylinder portion 7. Then, as described above, the inside of the coating cylinder portion 50 is the discharge hole 12. Further, in the present embodiment, the first engaging protrusion 55 is formed so as to project radially outward from the outer peripheral surface of the upper end portion 50a of the coating cylinder portion 50.

A plurality of through holes 91 penetrating the coating cylinder portion 50 in the radial direction are formed in the coating cylinder portion 50 at intervals in the circumferential direction.
As shown in FIG. 9, at least a part of the through hole 91 is above the discharge cylinder portion 7 when the coating plug 9 is located at the measuring position P1 (or the entire through hole 91 is inside the discharge cylinder portion 7). When the coating plug 9 is located at the coating position P2 as shown in FIG. 8, at least a part thereof is formed so as to be located below the discharge cylinder portion 7.

As a result, when the coating plug 9 is located at the measuring position P1 as shown in FIG. 9, it is possible to block the communication between the discharge hole 12 through the through hole 91 and the inside of the measuring chamber 6, and it is shown in FIG. As described above, when the coating plug 9 is located at the coating position P2, it is possible to allow communication between the discharge hole 12 through the through hole 91 and the inside of the measuring chamber 6.

An annular recess 92 that opens downward and is recessed inward in the radial direction is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the discharge cylinder portion 7 of the measuring cylinder member 8 on the lower end side. A part of the inner wall surface defining the recess 92 is an annular seal wall 93 facing downward.
The stopper wall 57 of the present embodiment is formed at a connecting portion between the lower end portion of the coating cylinder portion 50 and the upper end portion of the hanging cylinder portion 52, and is arranged so as to face the seal wall 93 from below. There is. The stopper wall 57 comes into close contact with the seal wall 93 from below when the coating plug 9 is located at the measuring position P1 shown in FIG. 9, so that the stopper wall 57 is between the inside of the measuring chamber 6 and the inside of the discharge cylinder portion 7. Is sealed. Further, when the stopper wall 57 comes into contact with the seal wall 93 from below, the coating plug 9 is positioned at the measuring position P1.

As shown in FIG. 8, the pulling cylinder portion 74 of the present embodiment is formed so as to surround the coating cylinder portion 50 from the radial outside, and has a second engagement so as to project radially inward on the inner peripheral surface thereof. The joint protrusion 75 is formed.

(Use of coating container)
Even with the coating container 90 of the present embodiment configured in this way, the same effects as those of the first embodiment can be achieved.
That is, by removing the overcap 11 from the state shown in FIG. 8, as shown in FIG. 9, the coating plug 9 can be moved from the coating position P2 to the measuring position P1 by using the pull-up cylinder portion 74. At this time, since the stopper wall 57 of the coating plug 9 comes into contact with the seal wall 93 of the measuring cylinder member 8 from below, the coating plug 9 can be positioned at the measuring position P1.

By locating the coating plug 9 at the measuring position P1, the communication between the discharge hole 12 through the through hole 91 and the inside of the measuring chamber 6 can be blocked, and the inside of the container body 2 and the measuring chamber 6 through the communication hole 4 can be blocked. Communication with the inside can be allowed. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 10, by changing the posture of the coating container 90 so that the upper end surface 50b of the coating plug 9 faces downward, the contents in the container body 2 can be passed through the communication hole 4 into the measuring chamber 6. The contents can be weighed in the measuring chamber 6.

Subsequently, with the upper end surface 50b of the coating plug 9 in contact with the coated portion S, the container body 2 is pressed against the coated portion S to apply the coating plug 9 as shown in FIG. Since it can be moved to the position P2, the communication between the discharge hole 12 and the inside of the measuring chamber 6 through the through hole 91 is blocked while the communication between the inside of the container body 2 and the inside of the measuring chamber 6 through the communication hole 4 is blocked. It can be tolerated. Therefore, the contents weighed in the measuring chamber 6 can be discharged to the outside through the discharge hole 12, and the contents can be applied to the coated portion S by using the upper end surface 50b of the coating plug 9. ..

Then, when the content is applied, the elastic body 10 can be elastically deformed as shown in FIG. 11, so that the pressing force and the impact on the portion S to be coated are alleviated or absorbed by using the elastic deformation of the elastic body 10. It is possible to give a soft coating feel to the portion S to be coated, and to perform a comfortable and comfortable coating.

(Fourth Embodiment)

As shown in FIG. 12, in the coating container 100 of the present embodiment, the elastic body 10 is integrally combined with the upper end portion 50a of the coating cylinder portion 50 in the coating plug 9.
In the coating cylinder portion 50 of the present embodiment, when the coating stopper 9 is located at the coating position P2, the upper end portion 50a thereof is arranged inside the discharge cylinder portion 7, and the coating stopper 9 is provided as shown in FIG. When it is located at the weighing position P1, its upper end portion 50a is formed so as to be arranged above the discharge cylinder portion 7. Therefore, the upper end surface 50b of the coating cylinder portion 50 is arranged above the discharge cylinder portion 7 when the coating plug 9 is located at least at the measuring position P1.
However, regardless of whether the coating plug 9 is located at the measuring position P1 or the coating position P2, the upper end surface 50b of the coating cylinder portion 50 is configured to be located above the discharge cylinder portion 7. It doesn't matter. Further, if the coating plug 9 can be moved to the coating position P2 by pressing through the elastic body 10, the coating tube portion 50 can be moved even when the coating plug 9 is located at the measuring position P1. The upper end surface 50b may be configured to be located at the same level as or below the upper end surface of the discharge cylinder portion 7.

As shown in FIG. 12, the elastic body 10 is formed in an annular shape (cylindrical shape) coaxially arranged with the container shaft O, and is formed on the coating cylinder portion 50 so as to overlap the upper end portion 50a of the coating cylinder portion 50 from above. On the other hand, they are combined together.
In the illustrated example, the elastic body 10 is combined with the upper end portion 50a of the coating cylinder portion 50 in an undercut fitted state, and is prevented from coming off upward. However, the present invention is not limited to this case, and an upward prevention may be performed by another method. The outer diameter of the elastic body 10 is smaller than or equal to the outer diameter of the coating cylinder portion 50. As a result, the elastic body 10 is relatively movable in the vertical direction with respect to the discharge cylinder portion 7 as the coating plug 9 moves.

Since the elastic body 10 is combined with the upper end portion 50a of the coating cylinder portion 50 as described above, the inside of the elastic body 10 communicates with the discharge hole 12. Therefore, the elastic body 10 surrounds the circumference of the discharge hole 12 over the entire circumference as in the first embodiment.

Further, in the case of the present embodiment, the first engaging projection 55 is formed so as to project radially outward from the outer peripheral surface of the upper end portion 10a of the elastic body 10. The pull-up cylinder portion 74 is formed so as to surround the elastic body 10 from the outside in the radial direction, and a second engaging protrusion 75 is formed on the inner peripheral surface thereof so as to project inward in the radial direction.
However, the present invention is not limited to this case, and for example, the height of the elastic body 10 is formed to be small (the length in the vertical direction is short), and the coating cylinder portion 50 is formed to be longer toward the upper side. The first engaging protrusion 55 may be formed on the outer peripheral surface of the coating cylinder portion 50. In this case, for example, even if the elastic body 10 is made of a soft material, it is not necessary to form the first engaging protrusion 55 on the elastic body 10, so that the coating plug 9 is pulled up by using the pulling cylinder portion 74. It's definitely easy to do.

The lower end portion of the pull-up cylinder portion 74 is tightly and detachably fitted inside the upper end portion of the discharge cylinder portion 7 of the measuring cylinder member 8. As a result, high sealing performance is ensured between the outer peripheral surface of the lower end portion of the pull-up cylinder portion 74 and the inner peripheral surface of the upper end portion of the discharge cylinder portion 7.

Further, on the inner peripheral surface of the pulling cylinder portion 74 on the upper end side, a vertically long holding rib 101 that contacts the upper end surface 10b of the elastic body 10 from above protrudes inward in the radial direction and is spaced apart in the circumferential direction. Is formed in multiples. The pressing rib 101 is integrally connected to the cap top wall 71.

(Use of coating container)
In the case of the coating container 100 of the present embodiment configured in this way, the same effects as those of the third embodiment can be achieved.
In addition, since the elastic body 10 is provided at the upper end portion 50a of the coating cylinder portion 50, the coating plug 9 can be pressed against the coated portion S via the elastic body 10 as shown in FIG. Therefore, the elastic body 10 is elastically deformed immediately after the coating plug 9 located at the measuring position P1 is pressed against the coated portion S until the coating plug 9 reaches the coating position P2 as shown in FIG. It is possible to maintain a soft contact with the portion S to be coated throughout the coating operation.

(Fifth Embodiment)
Next, a fifth embodiment of the coating container according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the fifth embodiment, the same parts as the components in the first embodiment are designated by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted. The configurations of the elastic body and the overcap are different between the first embodiment and the fifth embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 15, the coating container 110 of the present embodiment includes an elastic body 111 combined with the discharge cylinder portion 7 of the measuring cylinder member 8 and an ecstatic cylinder-shaped overcap 115.
The shape and size of the container body 2 are not particularly limited and may be changed as appropriate.

The elastic body 111 is formed so as to extend around the container axis O so as to surround the discharge hole 12 from the outside in the radial direction. Specifically, the elastic body 111 is formed in a cylindrical shape that surrounds the discharge cylinder portion 7 from the outside in the radial direction as a whole, and is fixed to the discharge cylinder portion 7 in a state of being arranged coaxially with the container shaft O. ..

It will be explained in detail.
As shown in FIGS. 16 and 17, the elastic body 111 is formed in a cylindrical shape that surrounds the discharge cylinder portion 7 from the outside in the radial direction, and is mounted on the discharge cylinder portion 7 with a mounting cylinder portion 120 and a mounting cylinder portion. It is formed so as to extend upward from 120 and to protrude inward in the radial direction from the cylindrical connecting cylinder portion 121 that can be elastically deformed in the vertical direction and the upper end portion (tip portion) of the connecting cylinder portion 121. It is formed in the shape of a topped cylinder provided with an annular top wall portion 122.

Even in the elastic body 111 of the present embodiment, it is preferable to form the elastic body 111 with a soft material that is softer than the material for forming the coating plug 9, for example, as in the first embodiment. Therefore, the elastic body 111 is elastically deformable as a whole. In addition, in the elastic body 111 of the present embodiment, the connecting cylinder portion 121 is preferentially elastically deformable.

The mounting cylinder portion 120 is formed in a cylindrical shape having a wall thickness equivalent to that of the discharge cylinder portion 7, and is externally fitted and fixed to the outside of the discharge cylinder portion 7. The mounting cylinder portion 120 projects upward from the discharge cylinder portion 7.
The connecting cylinder portion 121 is formed in a cylindrical shape having a thinner wall than, for example, the discharge cylinder portion 7, and is formed so as to extend upward from the inner peripheral edge portion side of the upper end portion of the mounting cylinder portion 120. The upper end side of the connecting cylinder portion 121 is curved so as to extend inward in the radial direction as it goes upward.

The top wall portion 122 is formed so as to project radially inward from the curved upper end portion of the connecting cylinder portion 121, and is arranged above the discharge cylinder portion 7. A through hole 123 having an inner diameter smaller than the inner diameter of the discharge cylinder portion 7 is formed in the central portion of the top wall portion 122. As a result, the top wall portion 122 is arranged so as to be located above the coating cylinder portion 50. In the illustrated example, the inner diameter of the through hole 123 is larger than the inner diameter of the coating cylinder portion 50, but the present invention is not limited to this case, and the inner diameter may be the same as or smaller than the inner diameter of the coating cylinder portion 50.
The upper end surface (tip surface) 122a of the top wall portion 122 functions as the upper end surface of the entire elastic body 111.

The elastic body 111 configured as described above is configured so that the position of the top wall portion 122 is largely displaced vertically due to the elastic deformation of the connecting cylinder portion 121 in the vertical direction. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 15, when the overcap 115 is attached, the connecting cylinder portion 121 is elastically deformed so as to be crushed by the overcap 115, whereby the top wall portion 122 is placed close to the discharge cylinder portion 7 side. Be placed. On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 16 and 17, when the overcap 115 is removed, the connecting cylinder portion 121 is elastically restored and deformed, whereby the top wall portion 122 is arranged at a position upwardly separated from the discharge cylinder portion 7. Will be done.
The connecting cylinder portion 121 is elastically deformed so that the lower end portion side is mainly folded up and down (for example, starting from the connecting portion between the connecting cylinder portion 121 and the mounting cylinder portion 120). However, the present invention is not limited to this case, and for example, the connecting tubular portion 121 may be elastically deformed so as to be folded up and down in a bellows shape at a plurality of locations throughout.

When the overcap 115 is removed, the top wall portion 122 is arranged at a position upwardly separated from the discharge cylinder portion 7. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 17, when the coating plug 9 is located at the coating position P2, the top is located. The wall portion 122 is arranged above the upper end surface 50b of the coating plug 9 so as to be separated from the upper end surface 50b. Therefore, a constant distance (stroke) H1 is secured in the vertical direction between the top wall portion 122 and the upper end surface 50b of the coating plug 9.

As shown in FIG. 16, when the coating plug 9 is located at the measuring position P1 when the overcap 115 is removed, the top wall portion 122 and the upper end surface 50b of the coating plug 9 come into contact with each other. Specifically, when the coating cylinder portion 50 comes into contact with the top wall portion 122 from below, the lower surface of the top wall portion 122 and the upper end surface 50b of the coating cylinder portion 50 are configured to come into contact with each other.
However, when the coating plug 9 is located at the measuring position P1 when the overcap 115 is removed, the top wall portion 122 and the upper end surface 50b of the coating plug 9 do not necessarily have to come into contact with each other, and may not come into contact with each other. do not have.

Further, as described above, when the overcap 115 shown in FIG. 15 is attached, the connecting cylinder portion 121 is elastically deformed, so that the top wall portion 122 is arranged at a position close to the discharge cylinder portion 7 side. More specifically, the top wall portion 122 comes into contact with the upper end surface 50b of the coating plug 9 located at the coating position P2 from above. As a result, when the overcap 115 is attached, the elastic body 111 can be used to close the discharge hole 12 formed inside the discharge cylinder portion 7.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 16 and 18, the elastic body 111 is formed with a slit hole 124 that opens with elastic deformation of the connecting cylinder portion 121 to allow the discharge hole 12 and the outside to communicate with each other.
The slit hole 124 is formed on the curved upper end side of the connecting cylinder portion 121. In the illustrated example, two slit holes 124 are formed at equal intervals in the circumferential direction, and are formed so as to extend linearly in the radial direction in a plan view seen from above.
However, the present invention is not limited to this case, and the number, formation position, shape, and the like of the slit holes 124 may be appropriately changed. The slit hole 124 is closed when the connecting cylinder portion 121 is not elastically deformed.

As shown in FIG. 15, the overcap 115 further includes an outer cylinder 116 that further surrounds the cap cylinder 70 from the radial outside. The outer cylinder 116 is formed to have the same diameter as the body portion 21 of the container body 21, and extends downward from the cap cylinder 70.
When the overcap 115 is attached to the container body 21, the cap top wall 71 of the present embodiment has a role of pressing the elastic body 111 from above to elastically deform the connecting cylinder portion 121 so as to crush it.

(Use of coating container)
Even with the coating container 110 of the present embodiment configured as described above, the same effects as those of the first embodiment can be achieved. In addition, the following effects can be achieved.

As shown in FIG. 15, when the overcap 115 is attached to the container body 21, the coating plug 9 is located at the coating position P2 and is located in the measuring chamber 6 and the container body 21 through the communication hole 4. Communication is blocked. In addition to this, the cap top wall 71 of the overcap 115 elastically deforms the connecting cylinder portion 121 of the elastic body 111 so as to be crushed up and down, and the top wall portion 122 comes into contact with the upper end surface 50b of the coating plug 9 from above. is doing. As a result, the discharge hole 12 can be closed by using the elastic body 111.
From these things, it is possible to prevent the contents from leaking from the discharge hole 12, for example, at the time of storage or distribution of goods. Therefore, the coating container 110 that does not easily leak can be used.

Further, by removing the overcap 115 from the state shown in FIG. 15, the connecting cylinder portion 121 can be elastically restored and deformed as shown in FIG. 16, and the top wall portion 122 can be moved upward. Further, with the removal of the overcap 115, the coating plug 9 can be pulled upward and moved from the coating position P2 to the measuring position P1. Then, the upper end surface 50b of the coating plug 9 can be brought into contact with the top wall portion 122 of the elastic body 111 from below.

As a result, when the posture of the coating container 110 is changed so that the upper end surface 50b of the coating stopper 9 faces downward and the contents are weighed, even if the contents adhere to the coating stopper 9, the contents The elastic body 111 can be used to prevent an object from dripping downward along the coating plug 9. Therefore, the contents can be weighed while preventing, for example, dripping.

Further, as shown in FIG. 19, when the content is applied to the coated portion S, the top wall portion 122 of the elastic body 111 is interposed between the upper end surface 50b of the coating plug 9 and the coated portion S. Can be made to. Therefore, since the coating plug 9 is pressed against the coated portion S via the top wall portion 122, it is possible to maintain soft contact with the coated portion S throughout the coating operation.

In particular, while pressing the upper end surface 50b of the coating plug 9 against the coated portion S via the top wall portion 122, the coating plug 9 is moved from the measuring position P1 to the coating position P2, and then the top wall portion 122 is repeatedly coated. When the contents are applied by pressing against the portion S, the connecting tubular portion 121 of the elastic body 111 can be elastically deformed so as to be crushed up and down by the stroke H1 shown in FIG.
Therefore, the elastic body 111 can be elastically deformed more greatly, and high cushioning property can be exhibited. As a result, softer contact can be made with the portion to be coated S, and more comfortable and comfortable coating can be performed.

Since the slit hole 124 is opened by the elastic deformation of the connecting cylinder portion 121, the contents can be supplied to the coated portion S side through the slit hole 124. Therefore, even if the top wall portion 122 remains in contact with the upper end surface 50b of the coating stopper 9, the contents can be stably applied to the coated portion S. The slit hole 124 is not essential and may not be provided.

(Sixth Embodiment)
Next, a sixth embodiment of the coating container according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the sixth embodiment, the same parts as the components in the fifth embodiment are designated by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted. In the sixth embodiment, a bellows-shaped bent portion is formed in the connecting tubular portion 121 of the elastic body 111.

As shown in FIG. 20, in the coating container 140 of the present embodiment, a bending portion 141 that positively elastically deforms the connecting cylinder portion 121 up and down is integrally formed with the connecting cylinder portion 121.
As shown in FIGS. 21 and 22, the bent portion 141 has a first inclined wall 142 extending radially outward from the lower end side of the connecting cylinder portion 121 with the overcap 115 removed. And a second inclined wall 143 extending inward in the radial direction from the upper end portion of the first inclined wall 142 upward. As a result, the bent portion 141 is formed so as to bulge outward in the radial direction in a V shape in a vertical cross-sectional view.

The bent portion 141 is bent in the vertical direction mainly with the lower end portion of the first inclined wall 142, the connecting portion between the first inclined wall 142 and the second inclined wall 143, and the upper end portion of the second inclined wall 143 as a base point. It is said that it can be elastically deformed so that it can be crushed. The number of bent portions 141 is not limited to one, and a plurality of bent portions 141 may be continuously formed in the vertical direction.

The elastic body 111 of the present embodiment is configured so that the position of the top wall portion 122 is largely displaced up and down by elastically deforming the entire connecting cylinder portion 121 in the vertical direction due to the deformation by the bent portion 141. However, as shown in FIG. 20, when the overcap 115 is attached, the connecting cylinder portion 121 is not elastically deformed so that the entire connecting cylinder portion 121 is crushed in the vertical direction, but the second inclined wall 143 is pressed by the cap top wall 71. Then, only the bent portion 141 is elastically deformed so that the first inclined wall 142 and the second inclined wall 143 overlap in the vertical direction.
Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the overcap 115 is attached, the top wall portion 122 is arranged above the upper end surface 50b of the coating plug 9 located at the coating position P2.

The overcap 115 has a ridged cylindrical bulging cylinder portion 117 formed in the central portion of the cap top wall 71 so as to project further upward. The inner diameter of the bulging cylinder portion 117 is larger than the outer diameter of the top wall portion 122 and smaller than the outer diameter of the bent portion 141. Then, it is possible to accommodate the top wall portion 122 of the elastic body 111 inside the bulging cylinder portion 117.
As a result, when the overcap 115 is attached, as described above, the top wall portion 122 is arranged so as to be separated above the upper end surface 50b of the coating plug 9 located at the coating position P2. It is possible to elastically deform only the bent portion 141 so that the first inclined wall 142 and the second inclined wall 143 overlap in the vertical direction. A pull-up cylinder portion 74 is formed on the top wall portion of the bulging cylinder portion 117.

(Use of coating container)
Even with the coating container 140 of the present embodiment configured as described above, the same effects as those of the fifth embodiment can be achieved.

That is, by removing the overcap 115 from the state shown in FIG. 20, the entire connecting cylinder portion 121 can be elastically restored and deformed while mainly elastically restoring and deforming the bent portion 141 as shown in FIG. 21. The wall portion 122 can be moved upward. Further, since the coating plug 9 can be pulled upward and moved from the coating position P2 to the measuring position P1 with the removal of the overcap 115, the upper end surface 50b of the coating plug 9 can be moved to the top wall portion of the elastic body 111. It can be brought into contact with 122 from below.

As a result, when the posture of the coating container 140 is changed so that the upper end surface 50b of the coating stopper 9 faces downward and the contents are weighed, even if the contents adhere to the coating stopper 9, the contents It is possible to prevent an object from dripping downward along the coating plug 9. Therefore, the contents can be weighed while preventing, for example, dripping.

Further, as shown in FIG. 23, when the content is applied to the coated portion S, the top wall portion 122 of the elastic body 111 is interposed between the upper end surface 50b of the coating plug 9 and the coated portion S. Can be made to. Therefore, since the coating plug 9 is pressed against the coated portion S via the top wall portion 122, it is possible to maintain soft contact with the coated portion S throughout the coating operation.

Further, while pressing the upper end surface 50b of the coating plug 9 against the coated portion S via the top wall portion 122, the coating plug 9 is moved from the measuring position P1 to the coating position P2, and then the top wall portion 122 is repeatedly coated. When the contents are applied by pressing against the portion S, the connecting tubular portion 121 of the elastic body 111 is elastically deformed so as to be crushed up and down by the stroke H1 shown in FIG. 22 while mainly utilizing the deformation of the bent portion 141. be able to.
Therefore, the elastic body 111 can be elastically deformed more greatly, and high cushioning property can be exhibited. As a result, softer contact can be made with the portion to be coated S, and more comfortable and comfortable coating can be performed.

(7th Embodiment)
Next, a seventh embodiment of the coating container according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the seventh embodiment, the same parts as the components in the first embodiment are designated by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted.
In the fifth embodiment, when the overcap 115 is removed and the coating plug 9 is located at the measuring position P1, the lower surface of the top wall portion 122 and the upper end surface 50b of the coating cylinder portion 50 are in contact with each other. In the form, the inner peripheral edge portion of the top wall portion 122 and the outer peripheral surface of the coating cylinder portion 50 in the coating plug 9 come into contact with each other.

As shown in FIG. 24, in the coating container 150 of the present embodiment, when the overcap 115 is attached, the top wall portion 122 comes into contact with the upper end surface 50b of the coating stopper 9 located at the coating position P2 from above. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 25, when the overcap 115 is removed, the connecting cylinder portion 121 is elastically restored and deformed, so that the top wall portion 122 is arranged at a position separated upward from the discharge cylinder portion 7.

As a result, even in the case of the present embodiment, when the coating plug 9 is located at the coating position P2 after the overcap 115 is removed as shown in FIG. 26, the top wall portion 122 and the coating plug 9 are above. A constant distance (stroke) H2 is secured in the vertical direction between the end face 50b and the end face 50b. However, this stroke H2 is smaller than the distance that the coating plug 9 moves from the coating position P2 to the measuring position P1.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 25, when the coating plug 9 is located at the measuring position P1 when the overcap 115 is removed, the coating cylinder portion 50 is above the top wall portion 122 through the through hole 123 of the elastic body 111. Protruding to. At this time, the coating cylinder portion 50 inserts through the through hole 123 while pushing the top wall portion 122 outward in the radial direction. Therefore, the inner peripheral edge portion of the top wall portion 122 comes into contact with the outer peripheral surface of the coating cylinder portion 50 so as to be pressed against it. As a result, when the coating plug 9 is located at the measuring position P1, the top wall portion 122 and the coating plug 9 come into contact with each other.

As shown in FIG. 26, the connecting cylinder portion 121 of the present embodiment is entirely curved so as to extend inward in the radial direction from the inner peripheral edge side of the upper end portion of the mounting cylinder portion 120 toward the upper side. It is formed like this.

(Use of coating container)
Even with the coating container 150 of the present embodiment configured as described above, the same effects as those of the fifth embodiment can be achieved.

That is, by removing the overcap 115 from the state shown in FIG. 24, as shown in FIG. 25, the connecting cylinder portion 121 can be elastically restored and deformed, and the top wall portion 122 can be moved upward. Further, with the removal of the overcap 115, the coating plug 9 can be pulled upward and moved from the coating position P2 to the measuring position P1. Therefore, the coating cylinder portion 50 inserts through the through hole 123 while expanding the top wall portion 122 radially outward. Therefore, the inner peripheral edge portion of the top wall portion 122 comes into contact with the outer peripheral surface of the coating cylinder portion 50 so as to be pressed against the outer peripheral surface, and when the coating plug 9 is located at the measuring position P1, the top wall portion 122 and the coating plug 9 are brought into contact with each other. Contact each other.

Therefore, when the posture of the coating container 150 is changed so that the upper end surface 50b of the coating stopper 9 faces downward and the contents are weighed, even if the contents adhere to the coating stopper 9, the contents are attached. Can be prevented from dripping downward along the coating plug 9. Therefore, the contents can be weighed while preventing, for example, dripping.

Further, as shown in FIG. 27, the coating plug 9 is moved from the measuring position P1 to the coating position P2 while pressing the upper end surface 50b of the coating plug 9 against the coated portion S, and then the top wall portion 122 is repeatedly coated. When the contents are applied by pressing against the portion S, the connecting tubular portion 121 of the elastic body 111 can be elastically deformed so as to be crushed up and down by the stroke H2 shown in FIG. 26. Therefore, the elastic body 111 can be greatly elastically deformed, and high cushioning property can be exhibited. As a result, softer contact can be made with the portion to be coated S, and more comfortable and comfortable coating can be performed.

Even in the case of the present embodiment, when the contents are applied, for example, when the coating stopper 9 is located at the coating position P2, or immediately before the coating stopper 9 is located at the coating position P2, the upper end surface 50b of the coating stopper 9 is covered. By momentarily separating from the coating portion S, the top wall portion 122 can be inserted between the upper end surface 50b of the coating plug 9 and the coated portion S. As a result, as shown in FIG. 27, the top wall portion 122 can be interposed between the upper end surface 50b of the coating plug 9 and the coated portion S. Therefore, at least at the coating position P2, the coating plug 9 can be pressed against the coated portion S via the top wall portion 122, so that a soft contact with the coated portion S can be obtained.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, these embodiments are presented as examples and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. The embodiment can be implemented in various other forms, and various omissions, replacements, and changes can be made without departing from the gist of the invention. Examples of embodiments and variations thereof include those easily conceivable by those skilled in the art, substantially the same, and those having an equal range.

For example, in each of the above embodiments, when the coating plug 9 is moved from the measuring position P1 to the coating position P2, the communication between the inside of the container body 2 and the inside of the measuring chamber 6 through the communication hole 4 is blocked, and the discharge hole 12 is used. It may be moved to the coating position P2 after passing through the blocking position that blocks the communication between the and the inside of the measuring chamber 6.
By doing so, the inside of the measuring chamber 6 can be sealed before the discharge hole 12 and the inside of the measuring chamber 6 are communicated with each other. It is possible to surely prevent communication with both of them. Therefore, the contents that have flowed into the measuring chamber 6 at the measuring position P1 can be temporarily and surely stocked in the measuring chamber 6 by the coating stopper 9 being located at the blocking position, and then the coating stopper 9 is placed. By being located at the coating position P2, the contents in the stocked measuring chamber 6 can be discharged to the outside through the discharge hole 12. As a result, the contents weighed in the measuring chamber 6 can be reliably applied to the portion to be coated S, and a coating container having excellent usability (applicability) can be obtained.

Further, in each of the above embodiments, the overcap is detachably attached to the mouth portion 3 of the container body 2, but the present invention is not limited to this case, and the overcap is detached from the measuring cylinder member 8, for example. You may install it if possible.

Further, in the first to fourth embodiments, the elastic body 10 is formed in an annular shape, but the present invention is not limited to this case, and the elastic body 10 may be formed in an arc shape extending along the circumferential direction, for example. In any case, the elastic body 10 may be formed so as to extend in the circumferential direction at a position surrounding the discharge hole 12 from the outside in the radial direction, and the shape may be arcuate or annular. When the elastic body 10 is formed in an arc shape, a plurality of elastic bodies 10 may be formed at intervals in the circumferential direction.

Further, in the first to third embodiments and the fifth to seventh embodiments, the elastic body is integrally combined with the outer peripheral surface side of the discharge cylinder portion 7 in the measuring cylinder member 8. In this case, the elastic body is integrally combined. The present invention is not limited, and for example, it may be integrally combined with the inner peripheral surface side of the discharge cylinder portion 7. In this case, the inside of the elastic body can function as the discharge hole 12. Therefore, even in this case, the discharge hole 12 can be surrounded from the outside in the radial direction by using the elastic body, and the same effect as that of each embodiment can be obtained.
