以下、本発明に係る押出器具の実施形態について図面を参照しつつ説明する。
Hereinafter, embodiments of the extruder according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
図1~図5は、本実施形態の押出器具1を示す。押出器具1は、流動性を有する収容体を複数回に分けて押し出すことが可能な器具である。
1 to 5 show the extruder 1 of the present embodiment. The extrusion device 1 is a device capable of extruding a fluid container in a plurality of times.
収容体は、例えば、芳香成分や洗浄成分などを含むゲル状薬剤などを例示することができ、押出器具1は、水洗トイレの便器の内面にゲル状薬剤を付着させるのに好適に使用することができる。ゲル状薬剤は、水洗時にリムの裏側の給水孔から流出するフラッシュ水に晒されることで、フラッシュ水に溶出して芳香成分や洗浄成分などを便器に供給する。なお、収容体は、薬剤以外のもの、例えば食品や化粧品などであってもよい。
As the container, for example, a gel-like drug containing an aromatic component, a cleaning component, or the like can be exemplified, and the extruder 1 is suitably used for adhering the gel-like drug to the inner surface of the toilet bowl of a flush toilet. Can be done. When the gel-like chemical is exposed to the flush water flowing out from the water supply hole on the back side of the rim during washing with water, it elutes into the flash water and supplies aromatic components and cleaning components to the toilet bowl. The container may be something other than a drug, such as food or cosmetics.
押出器具1は、押出部材2と、収容部材10とを備えている。収容部材10は、収容体を収容するとともに軸aの方向(以下、「軸方向」という。)の一端側から収容体を吐き出すことが可能である。押出部材2は、収容部材10の軸方向に沿って移動可能であるとともに収容部材10の軸aの周り(以下、「軸周り」という。)に回転可能である。押出部材2は、収容部材10に対して軸方向に押し込む押込操作と、収容部材10に対して軸周りに回転させる回転操作とを交互に繰り返すことにより、収容部材10に収容された収容体を収容部材10から複数回に分けて押し出す。具体的に、収容体の1回の押し出しは、1回の回転操作と1回の押込操作とにより行われる。押出部材2により収容部材10内の収容体が全て押し出されると、押出部材2は収容部材10から引き抜かれて、収容部材10は廃棄され、押出部材2は再利用される。本実施形態では、回転操作の回転方向は、時計回りに設定されている。以下、押出器具1の各構成部材について説明する。
The extrusion device 1 includes an extrusion member 2 and an accommodating member 10. The accommodating member 10 can accommodate the accommodating body and discharge the accommodating body from one end side in the direction of the axis a (hereinafter, referred to as "axial direction"). The extruded member 2 is movable along the axial direction of the accommodating member 10 and is rotatable around the axis a of the accommodating member 10 (hereinafter, referred to as “axis circumference”). The extruded member 2 alternately repeats a pushing operation of pushing the accommodating member 10 in the axial direction and a rotating operation of rotating the accommodating member 10 about the axis, thereby causing the accommodating body accommodated in the accommodating member 10 to be accommodated. Extrude from the accommodating member 10 in a plurality of times. Specifically, one push-out of the housing body is performed by one rotation operation and one push-in operation. When all the accommodating bodies in the accommodating member 10 are extruded by the extruding member 2, the extruding member 2 is pulled out from the accommodating member 10, the accommodating member 10 is discarded, and the extruding member 2 is reused. In the present embodiment, the rotation direction of the rotation operation is set clockwise. Hereinafter, each component of the extruder 1 will be described.
まず、押出部材2は、図6~図12に示すように、把持部3と、押出軸部4と、複数の突起5と、カバー部6と、係合部7とを有している。なお、本明細書では、押出部材2の中心に向かう側を内側、その反対側を外側とする。また、押出部材2の収容部材10に押し込まれる側を下側(先端側)とし、その反対側を上側(基端側)とする。
First, as shown in FIGS. 6 to 12, the extrusion member 2 has a grip portion 3, an extrusion shaft portion 4, a plurality of protrusions 5, a cover portion 6, and an engaging portion 7. In the present specification, the side of the extruded member 2 toward the center is the inside, and the opposite side is the outside. Further, the side of the extrusion member 2 pushed into the accommodating member 10 is the lower side (tip side), and the opposite side is the upper side (base end side).
把持部3は、押出部材2の押込操作や回転操作の際に操作者が把持する部位である。把持部3は、下側に向かって次第に外径が小さくなるように形成されており、これにより、操作者が把持部3を把持する際の握りやすさを向上させている。
The grip portion 3 is a portion gripped by the operator during a pushing operation or a rotation operation of the extrusion member 2. The grip portion 3 is formed so that the outer diameter gradually decreases toward the lower side, thereby improving the ease of gripping when the operator grips the grip portion 3.
次に、押出軸部4は、収容部材10内の収容体を収容部材10から押し出すために収容部材10に挿入される部位である。押出軸部4は、長手形状を呈している。長手形状とは、一方向における長さが、前記一方向と直交する方向における長さよりも十分に長い形状をいう。前記一方向を軸方向(上下方向)とする。押出軸部4は、収容部材10の軸方向の他端側の開口から挿入可能な大きさに形成されている。
Next, the extrusion shaft portion 4 is a portion to be inserted into the accommodating member 10 in order to push the accommodating body in the accommodating member 10 out of the accommodating member 10. The extrusion shaft portion 4 has a longitudinal shape. The longitudinal shape means a shape in which the length in one direction is sufficiently longer than the length in the direction orthogonal to the one direction. The one direction is the axial direction (vertical direction). The extrusion shaft portion 4 is formed in a size that can be inserted from the opening on the other end side in the axial direction of the accommodating member 10.
押出軸部4は、角柱状、角筒状、1枚の板状体からなる板状、複数の板状体を例えばT字形、Y字形、L字形、X字形、十字形、その他の放射状に組み合わせた異形な柱状など、断面視で円形でない形状を呈していれば、種々の形状とすることができる。本実施形態では、押出軸部4は、2つの板状体の一方の板状体を他方の板状体に対して垂直にかつ他方の板状体の両板面から突き出るように交差させた十字形の柱状を呈しており、交差位置の芯部40から延びるとともに十字形に組み合わされた4つの突出部44を含んでいる。突出部44の厚みは2mm以上であることが好ましい。
The extrusion shaft portion 4 has a prismatic shape, a square cylinder shape, a plate shape composed of one plate-shaped body, and a plurality of plate-shaped bodies formed into, for example, a T-shape, a Y-shape, an L-shape, an X-shape, a cross shape, or other radial shapes. Various shapes can be obtained as long as they have a shape that is not circular in cross-sectional view, such as a combined irregular columnar shape. In the present embodiment, the extrusion shaft portion 4 intersects one of the two plate-like bodies perpendicularly to the other plate-like body so as to protrude from both plate surfaces of the other plate-like body. It has a cross-shaped columnar shape and includes four projecting portions 44 extending from the core portion 40 at the crossing position and combined in a cross shape. The thickness of the protruding portion 44 is preferably 2 mm or more.
押出軸部4には、複数の外向きの突起5が設けられている。本実施形態では、9個の突起5A~5Iが設けられている。複数の突起5は、本実施形態では、芯部40から延びる4つの突出部44のうち、芯部40を間に挟んで直線状に延びる1組の突出部44の対向する2つの端面41A,41Bにそれぞれ軸方向に間隔をあけて設けられている。また、本実施形態では、複数の突起5が、押出軸部4の当該2つの端面41A,41Bに、交互に順次下側に位置するように設けられている。なお、以下の説明では、複数の突起5の個々の突起を指すときは突起5A~5Iということがある。
The extrusion shaft portion 4 is provided with a plurality of outward protrusions 5. In this embodiment, nine protrusions 5A to 5I are provided. In the present embodiment, the plurality of protrusions 5 have two facing end faces 41A of a set of protrusions 44 extending linearly with the core portion 40 sandwiched between the four protrusions 44 extending from the core portion 40. 41B are provided at intervals in the axial direction. Further, in the present embodiment, the plurality of protrusions 5 are provided on the two end faces 41A and 41B of the extrusion shaft portion 4 so as to be alternately and sequentially located on the lower side. In the following description, when referring to individual protrusions of a plurality of protrusions 5, they may be referred to as protrusions 5A to 5I.
つまり、複数の突起5は、押出軸部4の軸周りに180°互いに離間した2つの突起群にそれぞれ分けられており、一方(端面41A側)の突起群の各突起5と対向する他方(端面41B側)の突起群の各突起5とで同じ高さ位置にはなく軸方向に位置ずれするように配置されている。複数の突起5は、押出軸部4が収容部材10に挿入される際に、最も下側に位置する先頭の突起5Aから順次、押出軸部4とともに収容部材10に挿入されるが、先頭の突起5Aが収容部材10に挿入された後、次に収容部材10に挿入される1つ後方に位置する突起は、先頭の突起5Aとは反対側の突起群で突起5Aの1つ上の突起5Cとなる。以下、突起5D、突起5E、突起5F、突起5G、突起5H、突起5I、そして、最も上側に位置する最後尾の突起5Bの順に収容部材10に挿入される。なお、端面41A側の突起群が、複数の突起5のうち先頭の突起5Aを含むとともに、最後尾の突起5Bを含んでいる。
That is, the plurality of protrusions 5 are each divided into two protrusion groups 180 ° apart from each other around the axis of the extrusion shaft portion 4, and the other (end face 41A side) facing each protrusion 5 of the protrusion group (end face 41A side). Each protrusion 5 of the protrusion group on the end face 41B side) is not at the same height position but is arranged so as to be displaced in the axial direction. When the extrusion shaft portion 4 is inserted into the accommodating member 10, the plurality of protrusions 5 are sequentially inserted into the accommodating member 10 together with the extrusion shaft portion 4 from the leading protrusion 5A located at the lowermost side. After the protrusion 5A is inserted into the housing member 10, the protrusion located one rearward to be inserted into the housing member 10 is a group of protrusions on the opposite side of the leading protrusion 5A and one protrusion above the protrusion 5A. It becomes 5C. Hereinafter, the protrusion 5D, the protrusion 5E, the protrusion 5F, the protrusion 5G, the protrusion 5H, the protrusion 5I, and the rearmost protrusion 5B located on the uppermost side are inserted into the accommodating member 10 in this order. The protrusion group on the end face 41A side includes the first protrusion 5A of the plurality of protrusions 5 and the last protrusion 5B.
押出軸部4には、複数の貫通穴43が形成されている。貫通穴43は、複数の突起5の少なくとも一部の突起5にそれぞれ対応するように、各突起5の内側にかつ各突起5の近傍に位置するように形成されている。本実施形態では、先頭の突起5A及び最後尾の突起5Bを除いた各突起5C~5Iに対応して貫通穴43が形成されている。複数の貫通穴43は、各突起5C~5Iに合わせて、押出軸部4の軸周りに180°互いに離間した2つの群にそれぞれ分けられており、一方の群の貫通穴43と対向する他方の群の貫通穴43とで同じ高さ位置にはなく軸方向に位置ずれするように配置されている。
A plurality of through holes 43 are formed in the extrusion shaft portion 4. The through hole 43 is formed so as to be located inside each protrusion 5 and in the vicinity of each protrusion 5 so as to correspond to at least a part of the protrusions 5 of the plurality of protrusions 5. In the present embodiment, the through hole 43 is formed corresponding to each of the protrusions 5C to 5I excluding the leading protrusion 5A and the rearmost protrusion 5B. The plurality of through holes 43 are divided into two groups separated from each other by 180 ° around the axis of the extrusion shaft portion 4 according to the protrusions 5C to 5I, and the other of the through holes 43 facing the through holes 43 of one group. The through holes 43 of the group are not at the same height position but are arranged so as to be displaced in the axial direction.
貫通穴43は、外側に位置する突起5C~5Iに軸方向(上下方向)からの押圧力が作用した際に、突起5C~5Iが内側に変位するのを許容する空間を構成する。押出部材2は収容部材10内の収容体を全て吐出させると、収容部材10から引き抜かれるように構成されているが、押出部材2を収容部材10から引き抜く際に、突起5C~5Iには収容部材10の規制部12を通過するときに規制部12が上から当たることで規制部12から下向きの押圧力を受ける。このとき、突起5C~5Iが押圧力を受けて内側に変位することで突起5C~5Iは規制部12を通過することができる。突起5C~5Iを良好に内側に変位させるためには、貫通穴43の上下方向の長さは、突起5C~5Iの上下方向の長さと同等か、それ以上であることが好ましい。貫通穴43の形状は、特に限定されるものではないが、突起5C~5Iの形状よりも大きすぎると、押出軸部4の強度が低下するため、突起5C~5Iの形状に対応した形状であることが好ましく、本実施形態では断面視三角形状を呈している。また、突起5C~5Iは、前記押圧力を受けた際には、上端を中心に下端が内側に回転するように変位するので、突起5C~5Iを良好に内側に変位させるためには、貫通穴43は、突起5C~5Iの下端の位置において幅が最も広く形成されていることが好ましい。そのため、本実施形態では、貫通穴43は、三角形の最も長い斜辺が上下方向を向き、また、前記斜辺に対向する角が突起5C~5Iの下端とほぼ同じ高さに位置するように向きが設定されている。
The through hole 43 constitutes a space that allows the protrusions 5C to 5I to be displaced inward when a pressing force from the axial direction (vertical direction) acts on the protrusions 5C to 5I located on the outside. The extruded member 2 is configured to be pulled out from the accommodating member 10 when all the accommodating bodies in the accommodating member 10 are discharged. When passing through the regulating portion 12 of the member 10, the regulating portion 12 hits from above and receives a downward pressing force from the regulating portion 12. At this time, the protrusions 5C to 5I are displaced inward by receiving the pressing force, so that the protrusions 5C to 5I can pass through the regulating portion 12. In order to satisfactorily displace the protrusions 5C to 5I inward, the vertical length of the through hole 43 is preferably equal to or longer than the vertical length of the protrusions 5C to 5I. The shape of the through hole 43 is not particularly limited, but if it is too large than the shape of the protrusions 5C to 5I, the strength of the extrusion shaft portion 4 decreases, so that the shape corresponds to the shape of the protrusions 5C to 5I. In the present embodiment, the cross-sectional view is triangular. Further, when the protrusions 5C to 5I are subjected to the pressing force, the protrusions 5C to 5I are displaced so that the lower end rotates inward with the upper end as the center. The hole 43 is preferably formed to have the widest width at the position of the lower end of the protrusions 5C to 5I. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the through hole 43 is oriented so that the longest hypotenuse of the triangle faces in the vertical direction and the angle facing the hypotenuse is located at substantially the same height as the lower end of the protrusions 5C to 5I. It is set.
なお、先頭の突起5A及び最後尾の突起5Bの内側にも貫通穴43を形成してもよいが、先頭の突起5A及び最後尾の突起5Bは、押出部材2を収容部材10から引き抜く際に、規制部12の回避部122を通り抜けるので、規制部12を通過するときに規制部12からの押圧力を受けないため、先頭の突起5A及び最後尾の突起5Bに対応する貫通穴43を必ずしも形成する必要はない。さらには、突起5D,5F,5Hについても、押出部材2を収容部材10から引き抜く際に、規制部12の回避部122を通り抜けるので、対応する貫通穴43を必ずしも形成する必要はない。
A through hole 43 may be formed inside the leading protrusion 5A and the trailing protrusion 5B, but the leading protrusion 5A and the trailing protrusion 5B are used when the extrusion member 2 is pulled out from the accommodating member 10. Since it passes through the avoidance portion 122 of the regulation portion 12, it does not receive the pressing force from the regulation portion 12 when passing through the regulation portion 12, so that the through hole 43 corresponding to the front protrusion 5A and the rearmost protrusion 5B is not necessarily formed. There is no need to form. Further, the protrusions 5D, 5F, and 5H also pass through the avoidance portion 122 of the regulation portion 12 when the extrusion member 2 is pulled out from the accommodating member 10, so that it is not always necessary to form the corresponding through hole 43.
また、押出軸部4は、図2及び図4に示すように、収容部材10への挿入時に、収容部材10の規制部12の内周面に当接する部位であるガイド部8を含んでいる。ガイド部8は、本実施形態では、押出軸部4の芯部40から延びる4つの突出部44のうち、端面41A,41Bに突起5が設けられている組の突出部44とは異なる組の2つの突出部44により構成されている。押出軸部4の当該2つの突出部44の対向する端面42A,42Bの間の長さは、収容部材10の収容部11の内径よりも小さいが、端面42A,42Bが規制部12の内周面に当接するよう規制部12の内径と同じか又は僅かに小さく設定されている。なお、押出軸部4の当該2つの突出部44の端面42A,42Bは、平坦面であってもよいし、外向きに凸状をなす湾曲面であってもよい。
Further, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, the extruded shaft portion 4 includes a guide portion 8 which is a portion that comes into contact with the inner peripheral surface of the regulating portion 12 of the accommodating member 10 when it is inserted into the accommodating member 10. .. In the present embodiment, the guide portion 8 is a set different from the set of protrusions 44 having protrusions 5 on the end faces 41A and 41B among the four protrusions 44 extending from the core 40 of the extrusion shaft portion 4. It is composed of two protrusions 44. The length between the opposing end faces 42A and 42B of the two protruding portions 44 of the extrusion shaft portion 4 is smaller than the inner diameter of the accommodating portion 11 of the accommodating member 10, but the end surfaces 42A and 42B are the inner circumferences of the regulating portion 12. It is set to be the same as or slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the regulating portion 12 so as to come into contact with the surface. The end faces 42A and 42B of the two protruding portions 44 of the extrusion shaft portion 4 may be flat surfaces or curved surfaces that are convex outward.
ガイド部8は、押出軸部4が収容部材10に軸方向の他端側から挿入されてから一端側(吐出部13側)の最後まで挿入される間、つまりは、押出軸部4が収容部材10に挿入されている間中ずっと収容部材10の規制部12の内周面に対して当接する。これにより、押出軸部4が収容部材10に挿入される際に、押出軸部4は、ガイド部8により収容部材10に真っ直ぐ挿入されるよう案内されるので、収容部材10への挿入時の挿入姿勢が安定する。
The guide portion 8 is accommodated while the extrusion shaft portion 4 is inserted into the accommodating member 10 from the other end side in the axial direction until the end of one end side (discharge portion 13 side), that is, the extrusion shaft portion 4 is accommodated. It abuts against the inner peripheral surface of the regulating portion 12 of the accommodating member 10 throughout the insertion into the member 10. As a result, when the extruded shaft portion 4 is inserted into the accommodating member 10, the extruded shaft portion 4 is guided by the guide portion 8 so as to be inserted straight into the accommodating member 10. The insertion posture is stable.
なお、ガイド部8は、押出軸部4の芯部40から延びる2つの突出部44で構成されているが、規制部12の内周面に当接する部位であれば、押出軸部4の他の部位、例えば、突出部44の端面42A,42Bや芯部40から外向きに突き出る板状などの突条体で構成することができる。また、押出軸部4が円柱状や角柱状であれば、例えば外周面より外向きに突き出る板状などの突条体で構成することができる。この場合、ガイド部8は、押出軸部4の軸方向の全長にわたって設けられている必要は必ずしもなく、軸方向に沿って所定の長さだけに設けられていてもよい。
The guide portion 8 is composed of two projecting portions 44 extending from the core portion 40 of the extrusion shaft portion 4, but if it is a portion that abuts on the inner peripheral surface of the regulation portion 12, other than the extrusion shaft portion 4. For example, the end faces 42A and 42B of the projecting portion 44 and a plate-shaped striatum protruding outward from the core portion 40 can be formed. Further, if the extruded shaft portion 4 is columnar or prismatic, it can be formed of, for example, a striatum such as a plate protruding outward from the outer peripheral surface. In this case, the guide portion 8 does not necessarily have to be provided over the entire length of the extrusion shaft portion 4 in the axial direction, and may be provided only at a predetermined length along the axial direction.
次に、複数の突起5は、図1~図12に示すように、押出軸部4の収容部材10への挿入時に、規制部12の内周面に向かう径方向外側に突き出るように形成されている。複数の突起5は、押出軸部4とともに収容部材10に挿入される際に、規制部12の回避部122を軸方向に通り抜けることで押出軸部4とともに規制部12を通過する一方で、規制部12の受け部121に突き当たることで押出軸部4が規制部12を通過するのを阻害する部位である。
Next, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 12, the plurality of protrusions 5 are formed so as to protrude radially outward toward the inner peripheral surface of the regulating portion 12 when the extrusion shaft portion 4 is inserted into the accommodating member 10. ing. When the plurality of protrusions 5 are inserted into the accommodating member 10 together with the extrusion shaft portion 4, they pass through the avoidance portion 122 of the regulation portion 12 in the axial direction and pass through the regulation portion 12 together with the extrusion shaft portion 4, while being regulated. It is a portion that prevents the extrusion shaft portion 4 from passing through the regulation portion 12 by abutting against the receiving portion 121 of the portion 12.
複数の突起5のうちの最も下側に位置する先頭の突起5Aは、図1に示すように、押出部材2を収容部材10に装着する際に、押出軸部4と規制部12との位置合わせに用いられる部位である。先頭の突起5Aは、押出軸部4の先端の係合部7及びカバー部6に隣接する位置に設けられている。
As shown in FIG. 1, the leading protrusion 5A located at the lowermost side of the plurality of protrusions 5 is located at the position of the extrusion shaft portion 4 and the regulation portion 12 when the extrusion member 2 is mounted on the accommodating member 10. It is a part used for matching. The leading protrusion 5A is provided at a position adjacent to the engaging portion 7 and the cover portion 6 at the tip of the extrusion shaft portion 4.
また、突起5B~5Iは、収容部材10内の収容体を複数回に分けて収容部材10から押し出す際に用いられる部位である。その中で、最も上側に位置する最後尾の突起5Bは、収容部材10内の収容体を最後に全て収容部材10から押し出す際に用いられる。
Further, the protrusions 5B to 5I are portions used when the accommodating body in the accommodating member 10 is pushed out from the accommodating member 10 in a plurality of times. Among them, the rearmost protrusion 5B located on the uppermost side is used when all the housing bodies in the housing member 10 are finally pushed out from the housing member 10.
最後尾の突起5Bは、図4及び図5に示すように、押出軸部4が収容部材10の最後まで挿入されたときに、規制部12の回避部122を完全に通り抜けるのではなく、一部は通り抜けるが残部は少なくとも一部分が回避部122内に位置して回避部122に嵌まるように、軸方向の長さが設定されている。これにより、最後尾の突起5Bは、押出軸部4が収容部材10の最後まで挿入されたときに、規制部12の回避部122により周方向の移動が規制されている。
As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the rearmost protrusion 5B does not completely pass through the avoidance portion 122 of the regulation portion 12 when the extrusion shaft portion 4 is inserted to the end of the accommodating member 10. The length in the axial direction is set so that the portion passes through but at least a part of the remaining portion is located in the avoidance portion 122 and fits in the avoidance portion 122. As a result, when the extrusion shaft portion 4 is inserted to the end of the accommodating member 10, the rearmost protrusion 5B is restricted from moving in the circumferential direction by the avoidance portion 122 of the regulating portion 12.
複数の突起5は、押出軸部4に対して、上端の少なくとも一部及び下端の少なくとも一部が押出軸部4とつながるように設けられている。これにより、突起5は、上端及び下端が押出部材4に拘束されることで、軸方向(上下方向)からの押圧力を受けた際には内側に変位するが、周方向(左右方向)からの押圧力を受けた際には内側に変位するのが規制されている。
The plurality of protrusions 5 are provided so that at least a part of the upper end and at least a part of the lower end of the extrusion shaft portion 4 are connected to the extrusion shaft portion 4. As a result, the upper end and the lower end of the protrusion 5 are constrained by the extrusion member 4, so that the protrusion 5 is displaced inward when a pressing force is applied from the axial direction (vertical direction), but from the circumferential direction (horizontal direction). It is regulated to displace inward when it receives the pressing force of.
本実施形態では、複数の突起5は、押出軸部4の端面42A,42Bよりも幅が広く形成されているため、上端の一部及び下端の一部が押出軸部4とつながっているが、突起5を押出軸部4の端面42A,42Bと同じ幅で形成することで、上端の全部及び下端の全部が押出軸部4とつながるように構成してもよい。
In the present embodiment, since the plurality of protrusions 5 are formed to be wider than the end faces 42A and 42B of the extrusion shaft portion 4, a part of the upper end and a part of the lower end are connected to the extrusion shaft portion 4. By forming the protrusion 5 with the same width as the end faces 42A and 42B of the extrusion shaft portion 4, the entire upper end and the entire lower end may be connected to the extrusion shaft portion 4.
複数の突起5のうち最後尾の突起5Bを除く突起5A,5C~5Iは、上端から下端に向かうにしたがって押出軸部4から大きく突き出る(押出軸部4からの突出量が次第に大きくなる)ように形成されている。つまり、突起5A,5C~5Iは、図13に示すように、押出軸部4から突き出た外面50が、外側に向かって低く傾斜する傾斜面となっている。押出部材2を収容部材10から引き抜く際に、突起5A,5C~5Iには収容部材10の規制部12を通過するときに規制部12に当たって下向きの押圧力を受けるが、このとき、外面50が傾斜していることにより突起5A,5C~5Iが内側にスムーズに変位するので、突起5A,5C~5Iは容易に規制部12を通過する。なお、突起5A,5C~5Iは、外面50の他、一対の側面51,52及び底面53を有しており、一対の側面51,52は三角形状を呈し、底面53は台形状(直角台形状)を呈している。
Of the plurality of protrusions 5, the protrusions 5A, 5C to 5I excluding the rearmost protrusion 5B protrude greatly from the extrusion shaft portion 4 from the upper end to the lower end (the amount of protrusion from the extrusion shaft portion 4 gradually increases). Is formed in. That is, as shown in FIG. 13, the protrusions 5A, 5C to 5I are inclined surfaces in which the outer surface 50 protruding from the extrusion shaft portion 4 is inclined downward toward the outside. When the extruded member 2 is pulled out from the accommodating member 10, the protrusions 5A, 5C to 5I hit the restricting portion 12 when passing through the restricting portion 12 of the accommodating member 10 and receive a downward pressing force. At this time, the outer surface 50 receives a downward pressing force. Since the protrusions 5A, 5C to 5I are smoothly displaced inward due to the inclination, the protrusions 5A, 5C to 5I easily pass through the regulating portion 12.

As shown in FIGS. 1, 3, 5, and 17, the plug member 14 is arranged in the accommodating portion 11 and seals the opening on the other end side of the accommodating portion 11. Further, the plug member 14 moves in the accommodating portion 11 toward the tip side as the extruded member 2 moves with respect to the accommodating member 10 in the axial direction, thereby pressing the accommodating body in the accommodating portion 11 toward the discharging portion 13. do. The plug member 14 has a sliding portion 140, an engaged portion 141, and a pressing portion 142.
摺動部140は、円筒状を呈しており、外周面が収容部11の内周面に対して当接可能である。摺動部140は、外周面が収容部11の内周面に当接しながら収容部11内を移動する。
The sliding portion 140 has a cylindrical shape, and the outer peripheral surface can be brought into contact with the inner peripheral surface of the accommodating portion 11. The sliding portion 140 moves in the accommodating portion 11 while the outer peripheral surface abuts on the inner peripheral surface of the accommodating portion 11.
被係合部141は、円筒状を呈しており、摺動部140の内側に摺動部140と同心円状に配置される。被係合部141は、押出部材2の先端の係合部7が内側に嵌合可能であり、被係合部141が押出部材2と一体になることで、摺動部140は押出部材2とともに収容部11内を移動する。
The engaged portion 141 has a cylindrical shape, and is arranged concentrically with the sliding portion 140 inside the sliding portion 140. In the engaged portion 141, the engaging portion 7 at the tip of the extruded member 2 can be fitted inward, and the engaged portion 141 is integrated with the extruded member 2, so that the sliding portion 140 is the extruded member 2.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 17, the cap 15 is detachably attached to one end side of the accommodating portion 11 in the axial direction. By attaching the cap 15 to the accommodating portion 11 when not in use, the inside of the accommodating portion 11 is sealed to prevent the accommodating body from coming into contact with air. The cap 15 is removed from the accommodating portion 11 at the time of use.
次に、上述した構成の押出器具1の使用方法について説明する。
Next, a method of using the extruder 1 having the above-described configuration will be described.
押出器具1を使用する際には、まず、収容部材10に押出部材2を装着する。具体的に、図1に示すように、押出部材2の先頭の突起5Aが規制部12の回避部122を通過するように規制部12に対する押出軸部4の軸周りの向きを調整したうえで、押出部材2を収容部材10にセットする。そして、押出部材2を押し込むことで押出軸部4を収容部材10に所定ストローク挿入する。この押出部材2の押込操作により、押出部材2の先端の係合部7が栓部材14の被係合部141の内側に嵌合することで、押出部材2と栓部材14とが一体化する。
When using the extrusion device 1, first, the extrusion member 2 is attached to the accommodating member 10. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 1, after adjusting the orientation of the extrusion shaft portion 4 with respect to the regulation portion 12 around the axis so that the protrusion 5A at the head of the extrusion member 2 passes through the avoidance portion 122 of the regulation portion 12. , The extrusion member 2 is set in the accommodating member 10. Then, by pushing the extrusion member 2, the extrusion shaft portion 4 is inserted into the accommodating member 10 by a predetermined stroke. By the pushing operation of the extrusion member 2, the engaging portion 7 at the tip of the extrusion member 2 is fitted inside the engaged portion 141 of the plug member 14, so that the extrusion member 2 and the plug member 14 are integrated. ..
この押出部材2の装着時には、押出軸部4の先端に設けられたカバー部6が規制部12の内側に嵌まってカバー部6の外周面が規制部12の内周面に沿うので、押出部材2を収容部材10に対して真っ直ぐセットすることができ、その後の押出部材2の押込操作による押出軸部4の挿入を容易にすることができる。また、カバー部6を規制部12の内側に嵌める際に、先頭の突起5Aはカバー部6の外周縁よりも外側に突き出ているので、先頭の突起5Aを容易に見つけることができる。そのため、先頭の突起5Aを基準にして規制部12に対する押出軸部4の軸周りの向きを調整することで、先頭の突起5Aを回避部122に対して確実に位置合わせすることができ、カバー部6を容易に規制部12の内側に嵌めることができる。さらに、先頭の突起5Aが規制部12の回避部122を軸方向に通り抜ける際には、先頭の突起5Aの側面51の少なくとも一部が回避部122の内周面に対して当接するので、押出軸部4を収容部材10に挿入する際の挿入姿勢が安定する。よって、押出軸部4を真っ直ぐ収容部材10に挿入することができる。
When the extrusion member 2 is mounted, the cover portion 6 provided at the tip of the extrusion shaft portion 4 is fitted inside the regulation portion 12, and the outer peripheral surface of the cover portion 6 is along the inner peripheral surface of the regulation portion 12, so that the extrusion member 2 is extruded. The member 2 can be set straight with respect to the accommodating member 10, and the extrusion shaft portion 4 can be easily inserted by the subsequent pushing operation of the extrusion member 2. Further, when the cover portion 6 is fitted inside the regulating portion 12, the leading protrusion 5A protrudes outward from the outer peripheral edge of the cover portion 6, so that the leading protrusion 5A can be easily found. Therefore, by adjusting the orientation of the extrusion shaft portion 4 with respect to the regulating portion 12 around the axis with reference to the leading protrusion 5A, the leading protrusion 5A can be reliably aligned with the avoidance portion 122, and the cover can be provided. The portion 6 can be easily fitted inside the regulating portion 12. Further, when the leading protrusion 5A passes through the avoiding portion 122 of the regulating portion 12 in the axial direction, at least a part of the side surface 51 of the leading protrusion 5A comes into contact with the inner peripheral surface of the avoiding portion 122, so that the protrusion 5A is extruded. The insertion posture when the shaft portion 4 is inserted into the accommodating member 10 is stable. Therefore, the extrusion shaft portion 4 can be inserted straight into the accommodating member 10.
そして、先頭の突起5Aの1つ後方に位置する突起5Cが規制部12の下段受け部121Aに突き当たるまで押出部材2をさらに押し込むことにより、収容部材10に対する押出部材2の装着動作が完了する。なお、このとき、規制部12の下段受け部121Aに突き当たった突起5Cの1つ後方に位置する突起5Dは、規制部12の上段受け部121Bの上方に位置している。押出部材2の装着が完了すると、収容部材10のキャップ15を取り外す。なお、キャップ15は、押出部材2の装着の前に取り外してもよい。
Then, the extrusion member 2 is further pushed until the protrusion 5C located one rear of the leading protrusion 5A abuts on the lower receiving portion 121A of the regulation portion 12, so that the operation of mounting the extrusion member 2 on the accommodating member 10 is completed. At this time, the protrusion 5D located one rear of the protrusion 5C that abuts on the lower receiving portion 121A of the regulating portion 12 is located above the upper receiving portion 121B of the regulating portion 12. When the mounting of the extruded member 2 is completed, the cap 15 of the accommodating member 10 is removed. The cap 15 may be removed before mounting the extrusion member 2.
次に、突起5Cが規制部12の下段受け部121Aに当接している状態で、押出部材2を時計回りに回転させることで、突起5Cを規制部12の回避部122に近づける。押出部材2の回転操作により、突起5Cが規制部12の段部123に突き当たると、押出部材2の回転操作が規制され、突起5Cが回避部122上に位置する。これにより、突起5Cは回避部122を通り抜けることで押出軸部4とともに規制部12を通過可能になり、押出部材2の押込操作が可能となる。
Next, the protrusion 5C is brought closer to the avoidance portion 122 of the regulation portion 12 by rotating the extrusion member 2 clockwise in a state where the protrusion 5C is in contact with the lower receiving portion 121A of the regulation portion 12. When the protrusion 5C abuts on the step portion 123 of the regulating portion 12 by the rotation operation of the extrusion member 2, the rotation operation of the extrusion member 2 is restricted, and the protrusion 5C is located on the avoidance portion 122. As a result, the protrusion 5C can pass through the regulation portion 12 together with the extrusion shaft portion 4 by passing through the avoidance portion 122, and the extrusion member 2 can be pushed in.
この押出部材2の回転操作の際には、突起5Cは、上端及び下端が押出部材4につながっていることで押出軸部4に拘束されているので、段部123に突き当たることで段部123から周方向の押圧力を突起5Cが受けても、内側に変位することが規制されている。突起5Cが段部123から周方向の押圧力を受けた場合に内側に変位すると、突起5Cが段部123で止まることなく回避部122上の所定位置を越えてしまうおそれがあるが、段部123からの周方向の押圧力によっては内側への変位が規制されていることで、押出部材2を強く回転させても、突起5Cを段部123で止めることができ、回避部122上の所定位置に確実に位置させることができる。
During the rotation operation of the extrusion member 2, the protrusion 5C is restrained by the extrusion shaft portion 4 because the upper end and the lower end are connected to the extrusion member 4, so that the protrusion 5C abuts on the step portion 123 to cause the step portion 123. Even if the protrusion 5C receives a pressing force in the circumferential direction, it is restricted from being displaced inward. If the protrusion 5C is displaced inward when it receives a pressing force in the circumferential direction from the step portion 123, the protrusion 5C may exceed a predetermined position on the avoidance portion 122 without stopping at the step portion 123. Since the displacement inward is restricted by the pressing force in the circumferential direction from 123, the protrusion 5C can be stopped by the step portion 123 even if the extrusion member 2 is strongly rotated, and the predetermined shape on the avoidance portion 122 can be stopped. It can be reliably positioned at the position.
次に、収容部材10の吐出部130の当接部131を被付着面に当接させた後、押出部材2を押し込むことで、押出軸部4をさらに収容部材10に挿入する。このとき、押出軸部4のガイド部8が規制部12の内周面(包囲部125)に当接するうえ、突起5Cが規制部12の回避部122を軸方向に通り抜ける際に、側面51の少なくとも一部が回避部122の内周面に対して当接する。よって、押出軸部4を収容部材10に挿入する際の挿入姿勢が安定する。よって、押出軸部4を真っ直ぐ収容部材10に挿入することができる。この押出部材2の押込操作により、収容部材10の栓部材14が吐出部13に向かって所定ストローク押圧され、栓部材14により収容部材10内の収容体の一部が吐出部13から被付着面に吐き出されて、被付着面に収容体が付着する。そして、突起5Cの1つ後方に位置する突起5Dが規制部12の下段受け部121Aに突き当たるまで押出部材2を押し込むことにより、1回目の収容体の押し出し動作が完了する。
Next, after the contact portion 131 of the discharge portion 130 of the accommodating member 10 is brought into contact with the surface to be adhered, the extrusion shaft portion 4 is further inserted into the accommodating member 10 by pushing the extrusion member 2. At this time, the guide portion 8 of the extrusion shaft portion 4 comes into contact with the inner peripheral surface (surrounding portion 125) of the regulation portion 12, and when the protrusion 5C passes through the avoidance portion 122 of the regulation portion 12 in the axial direction, the side surface 51 At least a part of the avoidance portion 122 comes into contact with the inner peripheral surface of the avoidance portion 122. Therefore, the insertion posture when the extrusion shaft portion 4 is inserted into the accommodating member 10 is stable. Therefore, the extrusion shaft portion 4 can be inserted straight into the accommodating member 10. By the pushing operation of the extrusion member 2, the plug member 14 of the accommodating member 10 is pressed toward the discharge portion 13 by a predetermined stroke, and a part of the accommodating body in the accommodating member 10 is pressed from the discharge portion 13 to the adhered surface by the plug member 14. The container is attached to the surface to be adhered. Then, by pushing the extrusion member 2 until the protrusion 5D located one rear of the protrusion 5C abuts on the lower receiving portion 121A of the regulation portion 12, the first pushing operation of the housing body is completed.
押出部材2の各突起5D~5Iを順次、回避部122上の所定位置に位置させて、その後、回避部122を通り抜けて規制部12を通過するように、以上の押出部材2の回転操作及び押込操作を交互に繰り返し行うことで、収容部材10内の収容体を複数回に分けて被付着面に吐き出して付着させることができる。そして、図4に示すように、最後尾の突起5Bを回避部122を介して規制部12を通過させることで、押出部材2を最後まで押し込むと、収容部材10内の収容体が全て吐き出される。
The rotation operation of the extrusion member 2 and the above-mentioned rotation operation of the extrusion member 2 so that the protrusions 5D to 5I of the extrusion member 2 are sequentially positioned at predetermined positions on the avoidance portion 122, and then pass through the avoidance portion 122 and the regulation portion 12. By alternately repeating the pushing operation, the accommodating body in the accommodating member 10 can be spit out and adhered to the surface to be adhered in a plurality of times. Then, as shown in FIG. 4, when the extruded member 2 is pushed to the end by passing the rearmost protrusion 5B through the regulating portion 12 via the avoiding portion 122, all the accommodating bodies in the accommodating member 10 are discharged. ..
収容部材10内の収容体を全て押し出すと、押出部材2を上述した押込操作の方向と反対方向に引っ張ることで、押出部材2を収容部材10から引き抜く。このとき、本実施形態では、押出部材2の押出軸部4は規制部12を通過し、また、複数の突起5のうち、最後尾の突起5Bと同じ突起群の突起5A,5B,5D,5F,5Hは、回避部122と位置が重複するため規制部12を通過するものの、残りの突起5C,5E,5G,5Iは押出部材2を収容部材10から引き抜く際に規制部12の傾斜部126(上段傾斜部126B)に突き当たる。ただし、各突起5C,5E,5G,5Iの内側に貫通穴43が形成されているので、各突起5C,5E,5G,5Iが規制部12の傾斜部126(上段傾斜部126B)に突き当たって傾斜部126(上段傾斜部126B)から下向きの押圧力を受けると、各突起5C,5E,5G,5Iは内側に変位可能となる。これにより、各突起5C,5E,5G,5Iが包囲部125の内側まで変位することで、各突起5C,5E,5G,5Iも規制部12を通過する。よって、押出部材2を収容部材10から容易に引き抜くことができる。
When all the accommodating bodies in the accommodating member 10 are pushed out, the extruding member 2 is pulled out from the accommodating member 10 by pulling the extruding member 2 in the direction opposite to the direction of the pushing operation described above. At this time, in the present embodiment, the extrusion shaft portion 4 of the extrusion member 2 passes through the regulation portion 12, and among the plurality of protrusions 5, the protrusions 5A, 5B, 5D of the same protrusion group as the last protrusion 5B, The 5F and 5H pass through the regulating portion 12 because their positions overlap with the avoiding portion 122, but the remaining protrusions 5C, 5E, 5G and 5I are inclined portions of the regulating portion 12 when the extruded member 2 is pulled out from the accommodating member 10. It hits 126 (upper inclined portion 126B). However, since the through holes 43 are formed inside the protrusions 5C, 5E, 5G, and 5I, the protrusions 5C, 5E, 5G, and 5I abut against the inclined portion 126 (upper inclined portion 126B) of the regulating portion 12. When a downward pressing force is received from the inclined portion 126 (upper inclined portion 126B), the protrusions 5C, 5E, 5G, and 5I can be displaced inward. As a result, the protrusions 5C, 5E, 5G, and 5I are displaced to the inside of the surrounding portion 125, so that the protrusions 5C, 5E, 5G, and 5I also pass through the regulation portion 12. Therefore, the extruded member 2 can be easily pulled out from the accommodating member 10.
この押出部材2の引抜操作の際には、図4に示すように、押出部材2の最後尾の突起5Bが規制部材12の回避部122の内側に嵌まっている。そのため、押出部材2は収容部材10に対する回転操作が禁止された状態であるから、押出部材2が不測に回転して各突起5A,5B,5D,5F,5Hが回避部122と位置ずれすることがなく、各突起5A,5B,5D,5F,5Hを回避部122と位置が重複した状態に維持することができる。よって、押出部材2を収容部材10から引き抜く際に、突起5を規制部12の回避部122に対して位置合わせするなどの突起5と規制部12との位置関係の調整のために押出部材2を回転させる必要がない。
When the extrusion member 2 is pulled out, as shown in FIG. 4, the rearmost protrusion 5B of the extrusion member 2 is fitted inside the avoidance portion 122 of the regulation member 12. Therefore, since the extruded member 2 is in a state in which the rotation operation with respect to the accommodating member 10 is prohibited, the extruded member 2 unexpectedly rotates and the protrusions 5A, 5B, 5D, 5F, and 5H are displaced from the avoiding portion 122. It is possible to maintain the protrusions 5A, 5B, 5D, 5F, and 5H in a state where the positions overlap with the avoidance portion 122. Therefore, when the extruded member 2 is pulled out from the accommodating member 10, the extruded member 2 is used to adjust the positional relationship between the protrusion 5 and the restricting portion 12, such as aligning the protrusion 5 with respect to the avoiding portion 122 of the restricting portion 12. No need to rotate.
また、各突起5C,5E,5G,5Iが上端から下端に向かうにしたがって押出軸部4から大きく突き出るように形成されているため、規制部12を通過する際に傾斜部126(上段傾斜部126B)から下向きの押圧力を受けたとき、各突起5C,5E,5G,5Iが内側にスムーズに変位する。よって、突起5C,5E,5G,5Iを容易に規制部12を通過させることができるので、収容部材10から押出部材2をさらに容易に引き抜くことができる。
Further, since the protrusions 5C, 5E, 5G, and 5I are formed so as to protrude greatly from the extrusion shaft portion 4 from the upper end to the lower end, the inclined portion 126 (upper inclined portion 126B) is formed when passing through the regulating portion 12. ), The protrusions 5C, 5E, 5G, and 5I are smoothly displaced inward. Therefore, since the protrusions 5C, 5E, 5G, and 5I can be easily passed through the regulating portion 12, the extruded member 2 can be more easily pulled out from the accommodating member 10.
押出部材2の引抜操作後、収容部材10は廃棄される一方、押出部材2は、別の収容部材10内の収容体を押し出す時に再利用することができる。
After the extraction operation of the extrusion member 2, the accommodating member 10 is discarded, while the extruding member 2 can be reused when extruding the accommodating body in another accommodating member 10.
以上、本実施形態の押出器具1によれば、押出部材2を収容部材10に装着する際に、押出軸部4の先端側に設けられたカバー部6を規制部12の内側に嵌めることができるので、押出部材2を収容部材10に対して真っ直ぐセットしやすくなり、その後の押出部材2の押込操作による押出軸部4の挿入を容易に行うことができる。また、押出部材2の装着時に押出軸部4を収容部材10に所定ストローク挿入するためには、押出部材2の複数の突起5のうち、押出軸部4の最も先端側に位置する先頭の突起5Aについて規制部12の回避部122を通過させる必要があるが、押出軸部4は底面視でカバー部6の外周縁よりも内側に収まっているのに対して先頭の突起5Aを含む突起5はカバー部6の外側に露出しているので、押出軸部4の周方向のどの位置に先頭の突起5Aが設けられているのかを容易に見つけることができる。そのため、先頭の突起5Aを規制部12の回避部122を通過させるのに、規制部12に対する押出軸部4の軸周りの向きの調整が容易になり、カバー部6を規制部12の内側に嵌める際に、先頭の突起5Aを回避部122に確実に位置合わせすることができる。よって、収容部材10に対する押出部材2の装着を容易に行うことができる。
As described above, according to the extrusion device 1 of the present embodiment, when the extrusion member 2 is mounted on the accommodating member 10, the cover portion 6 provided on the tip end side of the extrusion shaft portion 4 can be fitted inside the regulation portion 12. Therefore, the extrusion member 2 can be easily set with respect to the accommodating member 10, and the extrusion shaft portion 4 can be easily inserted by the subsequent pushing operation of the extrusion member 2. Further, in order to insert the extrusion shaft portion 4 into the accommodating member 10 with a predetermined stroke when the extrusion member 2 is mounted, the leading protrusion located on the most tip side of the extrusion shaft portion 4 among the plurality of protrusions 5 of the extrusion member 2. It is necessary to pass the avoidance portion 122 of the regulation portion 12 for 5A, but the extrusion shaft portion 4 is contained inside the outer peripheral edge of the cover portion 6 in the bottom view, whereas the protrusion 5 including the leading protrusion 5A is included. Is exposed on the outside of the cover portion 6, so that it is possible to easily find at which position in the circumferential direction of the extrusion shaft portion 4 the leading protrusion 5A is provided. Therefore, in order for the leading protrusion 5A to pass through the avoidance portion 122 of the regulation portion 12, it becomes easy to adjust the orientation of the extrusion shaft portion 4 with respect to the regulation portion 12 around the axis, and the cover portion 6 is placed inside the regulation portion 12. At the time of fitting, the leading protrusion 5A can be reliably aligned with the avoidance portion 122. Therefore, the extruded member 2 can be easily attached to the accommodating member 10.
加えて、押出軸部4が断面視で円形でない形状に形成されているので、押出部材2の回転時において、押出軸部4の外周面が周方向の広範囲で規制部12の内周面に接触するおそれがない。よって、押出部材2の回転時に押出軸部4が規制部12から受ける摩擦抵抗を抑制することができるので、押出部材2の回転操作がしやすく、操作性を向上することができる。
In addition, since the extrusion shaft portion 4 is formed in a shape that is not circular in cross-sectional view, when the extrusion member 2 is rotated, the outer peripheral surface of the extrusion shaft portion 4 covers a wide range in the circumferential direction and becomes the inner peripheral surface of the regulation portion 12. There is no risk of contact. Therefore, since the frictional resistance that the extrusion shaft portion 4 receives from the regulation portion 12 when the extrusion member 2 is rotated can be suppressed, the rotation operation of the extrusion member 2 can be easily performed and the operability can be improved.
また、本実施形態の押出器具1は、押出軸部4が収容部材10に挿入される際に、押出軸部4のガイド部8が規制部12の内周面に当接する。よって、押出軸部4は、収容部材10への挿入時の挿入姿勢が安定するので、収容部材10に対して押出軸部4ががたついたり、傾いて挿入されることを防止することができ、押出部材2の押込操作の操作性を向上することができる。
Further, in the extrusion device 1 of the present embodiment, when the extrusion shaft portion 4 is inserted into the accommodating member 10, the guide portion 8 of the extrusion shaft portion 4 comes into contact with the inner peripheral surface of the regulation portion 12. Therefore, since the insertion posture of the extrusion shaft portion 4 at the time of insertion into the accommodation member 10 is stable, it is possible to prevent the extrusion shaft portion 4 from rattling or tilting with respect to the accommodation member 10. It is possible to improve the operability of the pushing operation of the extrusion member 2.
また、本実施形態の押出器具1は、押出軸部4の構造が複雑でなく、簡易である。従来例のように押出軸部4の構造が複雑であると、押出器具1の製造時に金型などが破損しやすいが、本実施形態の押出器具1は、構造の簡易化に成功したので、製造時に金型が破損し難く、容易かつ低コストで製造することができる。
Further, in the extrusion tool 1 of the present embodiment, the structure of the extrusion shaft portion 4 is not complicated and is simple. If the structure of the extrusion shaft portion 4 is complicated as in the conventional example, the mold or the like is likely to be damaged during the manufacture of the extrusion tool 1, but the extrusion tool 1 of the present embodiment has succeeded in simplifying the structure. The mold is not easily damaged during manufacturing, and can be manufactured easily and at low cost.
以上、本発明の一実施形態について説明したが、本発明は上記実施形態に限定されるものではなく、本発明の趣旨を逸脱しない限りにおいて種々の変更が可能である。
Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
例えば、上記実施形態の押出器具1では、突起5は、押出軸部4に対して、上端及び下端が押出軸部4とつながるように設けられているが、突起5は、上端又は下端が押出部材4とつながるように構成されていてもよい。図22~図25は、変形例の押出部材2を示す。図22~図25に示す押出部材2は、上記実施形態の押出部材2と基本的な構成は同様であり、対応する構成には同一の符号を付することで説明を省略する。
For example, in the extrusion device 1 of the above embodiment, the protrusion 5 is provided so that the upper end and the lower end of the protrusion 5 are connected to the extrusion shaft portion 4 with respect to the extrusion shaft portion 4, but the upper end or the lower end of the protrusion 5 is extruded. It may be configured to be connected to the member 4. 22 to 25 show the extrusion member 2 of the modified example. The extrusion member 2 shown in FIGS. 22 to 25 has the same basic configuration as the extrusion member 2 of the above-described embodiment, and the description thereof will be omitted by assigning the same reference numerals to the corresponding configurations.
この図22~図25に示す押出部材2は、押出軸部4に、突起5の下方に貫通穴43に繋がる開口45が形成されている。突起5は、押出軸部4に対して、上端が押出軸部4とつながるように設けられているが、下端は押出軸部4とつながっておらず、自由端となっている。これにより、突起5は、上端及び下端が押出軸部4とつながる場合と比べて、下向きの押圧力を受けた際により良好に内側の貫通穴43に向けて変位することができる。一方で、突起5は、上端及び下端が押出軸部4とつながる場合と比べて、周方向の押圧力を受けた場合に、周方向に変位して折れやすいが、図22~図25に示す押出部材2は、この突起5の周方向の変位を防止するために、補強部9をさらに有している。
In the extrusion member 2 shown in FIGS. 22 to 25, an opening 45 connected to the through hole 43 is formed below the protrusion 5 in the extrusion shaft portion 4. The upper end of the protrusion 5 is connected to the extrusion shaft portion 4 with respect to the extrusion shaft portion 4, but the lower end is not connected to the extrusion shaft portion 4 and is a free end. As a result, the protrusion 5 can be more favorably displaced toward the inner through hole 43 when the downward pressing force is applied, as compared with the case where the upper end and the lower end are connected to the extrusion shaft portion 4. On the other hand, the protrusion 5 is more likely to be displaced in the circumferential direction and easily broken when the upper end and the lower end are connected to the extrusion shaft portion 4 when subjected to a pressing force in the circumferential direction, as shown in FIGS. 22 to 25. The extrusion member 2 further has a reinforcing portion 9 in order to prevent the protrusion 5 from being displaced in the circumferential direction.
補強部9は、押出部材2の回転操作時に、収容部材10の規制部12の段部123に突き当たったときに突起5が回転方向と反対向きの押圧力を受けるため、突起5が回転方向と反対方向に変位するのを規制するように、押出軸部4に設けられている。具体的には、十字形状をなす押出軸部4の4つの突出部44のうち、突起5が設けられている突出部44の1つ回転方向と反対側の突出部44の板面から、突起5が設けられている突出部44の板面の突起5の近傍位置に向けて補強部9がアーチ状に延びている。これにより、突起5が回転方向と反対向きの押圧力を受けても、補強部9によりこの押圧力を受け止めるため、突起5が回転方向と反対方向に変位するのが規制される。その結果、突起5の破損を防止することができる。また、補強部9は、突起5の押出軸部4の端面41A,41Bから幅方向にはみ出す内面にも接続されている。これにより、突起5が下向きの押圧力を受けることで内側に変位する際に、この押圧力の一部を補強部9が受けることで、突起5の内側への変位においても突起5を破損し難くすることができる。
When the reinforcing portion 9 hits the step portion 123 of the regulating portion 12 of the accommodating member 10 during the rotation operation of the extrusion member 2, the protrusion 5 receives a pressing force in the direction opposite to the rotation direction, so that the protrusion 5 is in the rotation direction. The extrusion shaft portion 4 is provided so as to restrict displacement in the opposite direction. Specifically, of the four protrusions 44 of the cross-shaped extrusion shaft portion 4, one of the protrusions 44 provided with the protrusions 5 is projected from the plate surface of the protrusion 44 on the side opposite to the rotation direction. The reinforcing portion 9 extends in an arch shape toward a position near the protrusion 5 on the plate surface of the protruding portion 44 provided with the 5. As a result, even if the protrusion 5 receives a pressing force in the direction opposite to the rotation direction, the reinforcing portion 9 receives the pressing force, so that the protrusion 5 is restricted from being displaced in the direction opposite to the rotation direction. As a result, damage to the protrusion 5 can be prevented. The reinforcing portion 9 is also connected to an inner surface of the protrusion 5 protruding from the end faces 41A and 41B of the extrusion shaft portion 4 in the width direction. As a result, when the protrusion 5 is displaced inward by receiving a downward pressing force, the reinforcing portion 9 receives a part of the pressing force, so that the protrusion 5 is damaged even when the protrusion 5 is displaced inward. It can be difficult.
なお、この図22~図25に示す押出部材2は、押出軸部4に、突起5の下方に貫通穴43につながる開口45が形成されているが、突起5の上方に貫通穴43につながる開口45が形成されていてもよい。

Further, in the above embodiment, the cover portion 6 has a circular shape in a cross-sectional view, but in the bottom view, the extrusion shaft portion 4 is included inside, and only the outward protrusion 5 protruding from the extrusion shaft portion 4 is outward.
