The sticky material discharged by this device spreads radially on the surface to be adhered (see Patent Document 1).

JP 2015-67321 A

According to the device disclosed in Patent Document 1, only a simple shape can be formed by the adhesive on the surface to be adhered. However, there are cases where forming a complicated shape with the adhesive on the adherend surface meets the user's needs.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve such problems, and an object thereof is to provide a discharge part and a discharge tool capable of forming a complicated shape with a viscous material discharged from a discharge port. is.

A discharge component according to one aspect of the present invention is attached to a discharge port of a container containing a fluid viscous material, and dispenses the viscous material toward a surface to be adhered. The dispensing component includes a main body and a wall member. The main body is configured to be attachable to the discharge port and has an opening for discharging the viscous substance. A wall member is connected to the body and disposed around the opening. The wall member is configured to be contactable with the surface to be adhered so as to form a gap between the opening of the main body and the surface to be adhered, and has at least one external wall member on the outer periphery of the closed space of a predetermined shape surrounding the opening. It has a shape with a cutout that communicates with the . The shape of the discharge component in plan view is not rotationally symmetrical.

In this discharge component, the shape in plan view is not rotationally symmetrical. Therefore, according to this ejection part, it is possible to form a complicated (non-rotationally symmetrical) shape with the adhesive on the surface to be adhered. For example, it is conceivable to provide a wall member around the entire outer circumference of the closed space having the predetermined shape in order to form a complicated shape with the adherent on the surface to be adhered. However, in this case, the adhesive strength between the viscous material and the wall member becomes greater than the adhesive strength between the viscous material and the surface to be adhered, and a situation may occur in which the viscous material does not properly adhere to the surface to be adhered. In the discharge component according to the present invention, the wall member has a cutout portion on the outer periphery of the closed space having a predetermined shape. Therefore, according to this ejection component, the overall adhesive force between the viscous material and the wall member is reduced, so that the viscous material can be appropriately adhered to the adherend surface.

Preferably, in the discharge component, the wall member comprises a branching component having first and second plate members. The branching part is formed in a V shape so that one ends of the first and second plate members are connected to each other on the side near the opening and the other ends of the first and second plate members are separated from each other.

In this dispensing part, the wall member comprises a branching part. Therefore, according to this discharge part, since the viscous material is guided in various directions by the branching part, it is possible to form a complicated shape with the viscous material on the adherend surface.

Preferably, in the discharge component, the wall member includes a plurality of plate members. The two plate members sandwiching at least one of the notches are arranged so as to approach each other at the notch.

In this discharge component, two plate members forming the wall member are arranged so as to approach each other at the notch. Therefore, according to this ejection component, the ejected viscous material is guided to one point by the two plate members, so that the desired shape can be formed by the viscous material even if there is no wall member around the entire outer periphery of the closed space of the predetermined shape. can be formed.

Preferably, in the discharge component, the wall member has a cutout portion formed at an acute angle in the outer periphery of the closed space having a predetermined shape.

According to this ejection component, the ejected viscous material is guided to one point by the notch, so that the viscous material forms a desired shape even if there is no wall member around the entire outer periphery of the closed space of the predetermined shape. be able to.

Preferably, in the discharge component, the wall member has a notch in an arcuate portion of the outer periphery of the closed space having a predetermined shape.

When there is no wall member, the ejected viscous material spreads in an arc around the opening. In this discharge component, a notch is provided in an arcuate portion of the outer circumference of the closed space having a predetermined shape. Therefore, according to this ejection component, the viscous material that has passed through the notch naturally spreads in an arc shape. can be formed.

Preferably, the discharge component is detachably attached to a discharge port of a container containing the viscid substance.

According to this ejection part, various shapes can be formed on the surface to be adhered with the viscous material by preparing ejection parts of various shapes.

A discharge tool according to another aspect of the present invention includes the above discharge component and a container. The container has a discharge port to which a discharge component is attached, and contains a fluid viscous body.

In this discharge tool, the shape of the discharge component in plan view is not rotationally symmetrical. Therefore, according to this discharge tool, it is possible to form a complicated shape with the adherent on the surface to be adhered. Further, in this discharge tool, the wall member of the discharge component has a cutout portion on the outer periphery of the closed space of a predetermined shape. Therefore, according to this discharge tool, since the adhesive force between the viscous material and the wall member is more likely to be smaller than the adhesive force between the viscous material and the adherend surface, the viscous material can be properly adhered to the adherend surface. be able to.

Preferably, in the above discharge tool, the container includes a container and a cap. The accommodation part accommodates the viscous material and has an opening. The cap is attached to the opening of the housing and has a discharge port. A discharge component is detachably attached to the discharge tool.

According to this discharge tool, by preparing discharge parts of various shapes, it is possible to form various shapes of the viscous material on the surface to be adhered.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. The same or corresponding parts in the drawings are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will not be repeated.

[1. Embodiment 1]
<1-1. Configuration of Discharge Tool>
FIG. 1 shows a discharge tool 10 including a discharge attachment 100 according to the first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, the discharge tool 10 includes a container 200 and a discharge attachment 100 attachable to and detachable from the container 200 .

The container 200 includes a flexible container 210 and a cap 220 attached to the end of the container 210 . The container 210 contains, for example, a cleaning agent for cleaning a toilet bowl. This cleaning agent is, for example, a fluid gel-like adhesive. A discharge port 222 and a plurality of protrusions 224 are provided at the tip of the cap 220 . When the user crushes the containing portion 210, the cleaning agent is discharged from the discharge port 222 to the outside.

The discharge attachment 100 is configured to be attachable (detachable) to the cap 220 of the container 200, and discharges the cleaning agent discharged from the discharge port 222 toward the toilet bowl (attachment surface). The ejection attachment 100 is made of resin, for example. For example, the user can adhere the cleaning agent discharged from the discharge port 222 onto the toilet bowl (non-adhesion surface) without attaching the discharge attachment 100 to the cap 220 . However, in this case, the shape formed by the cleaning agent on the toilet bowl is a simple shape (for example, a rotationally symmetrical shape such as a "petal"). Note that "rotational symmetry" refers to the property of overlapping with itself when the target shape is rotated (360/n) degrees around a certain center. Here, "n" is an integer of 2 or more.

On the other hand, when the dispensing attachment 100 is attached to the cap 220, the user can create a non-complex shape (for example, "heart", "butterfly", etc.) with the cleaning agent on the toilet bowl by ejecting the cleaning agent onto the toilet bowl. rotationally symmetrical shapes) can be formed.

<1-2. Configuration of Discharge Attachment>
FIG. 2 is a plan view showing the front surface (attachment surface to the container 200) of the discharge attachment 100. FIG. As shown in FIG. 2, the ejection attachment 100 has a rotationally asymmetric shape in plan view. More specifically, the ejection attachment 100 has a shape in which a portion (portion indicated by a dotted line) of a heart shape (a closed space having a predetermined shape) is cut out in plan view. Hereinafter, the heart shape including the portion indicated by the dotted line is also referred to as "first closed space".

The ejection attachment 100 includes a bowl-shaped main body 110, a V-shaped branching part 120, and T-shaped plate members 130 and 140. As shown in FIG.

The shape of the main body 110 in plan view is circular. A hole A1 surrounded by the raised portion 112 is formed in the center of the main body portion 110 in plan view. The hole A<b>1 faces the discharge port 222 ( FIG. 1 ) in contact with the discharge attachment 100 attached to the container 200 . Therefore, the cleaning agent ejected from the ejection port 222 is ejected to the back side of the ejection attachment 100 (the back side of the mounting surface) through the hole A1.

A plurality of raised portions 114 are formed around the cylindrical raised portion 112 . Each of the plurality of raised portions 114 has a U shape in plan view. A hole A2 is formed inside each of the plurality of protrusions 114 . A protrusion 224 (FIG. 1) is inserted into each hole A2. The discharge attachment 100 is attached to the container 200 by inserting the protrusion 224 into each hole A2.

The branching part 120 is a wall member connected to the main body 110 . The branching part 120 includes plate members 122 and 124 . One end of the plate member 122 closer to the hole A1 is connected to one end of the plate member 124 closer to the hole A1. Also, the other ends of the plate members 122 and 124 are separated from each other. Thereby, the V-shape of the branching part 120 is realized.

Each of plate members 130 and 140 is a wall member connected to body portion 110 . A notch 150 is formed between the plate members 130 and 140 . The plate members 130 and 140 are arranged so as to approach each other at the notch portion 150 . The cutout portion 150 is provided on the outer periphery of the first closed space, and is configured to allow communication between the inside and the outside of the first closed space. In particular, the cutout portion 150 is provided in a portion of the outer circumference of the first closed space that is formed at an acute angle.

A notch portion 160 is formed between the plate members 124 and 140 . A notch portion 170 is formed between the plate members 122 and 130 . Each of cutouts 160 and 170 is provided on the outer periphery of the first closed space, and is configured to allow communication between the inside and the outside of the first closed space. In particular, each of the cutouts 160 and 170 is provided in an arcuate portion of the outer periphery of the first closed space.

Next, the reason why the notches 150, 160, 170 are provided will be described. For example, consider a case where a wall member is provided over the entire outer circumference of the first closed space. In this case, when the cleaning agent is discharged from the hole A1, the adhesive force between the cleaning agent and the wall member becomes greater than the adhesive force between the cleaning agent and the adhered surface (for example, the toilet bowl). A situation may arise in which the adhesive does not adhere properly on the surface to be adhered. Discharge attachment 100 according to the first embodiment has notches 150 , 160 , 170 . In this case, since the contact surface between the cleaning agent and the wall member is reduced, the adhesive strength between the cleaning agent and the wall member as a whole is lowered, so that the cleaning agent adheres appropriately to the adhesion surface.

FIG. 3 is a side view of the ejection attachment 100. FIG. As shown in FIG. 3 , each of branching part 120 and plate members 130 and 140 extends below body portion 110 . Note that the upper side in the drawing is the surface side of the discharge attachment 100 (the surface to be attached to the container 200). Therefore, when the discharge attachment 100 is pressed against a surface to be adhered (for example, a toilet bowl), each of the branching part 120 and the plate members 130 and 140 is in contact with the surface to be adhered, but the main body portion 110 is not in contact with the surface to be adhered. . That is, when the ejection attachment 100 is pressed against the surface to be adhered, the body portion 110 is arranged at a position higher than the surface to be adhered by the height H1. As a result, the cleaning agent discharged from the hole A1 (FIG. 2) of the main body 110 spreads radially after hitting the surface to be adhered.

<1-3. Flow of detergent>
FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining the flow of cleaning agent. As shown in FIG. 4, the cleaning agent ejected to the back side of the ejection attachment 100 through the hole A1 spreads radially after hitting the adhered surface.

Since the plate members 130 and 140 are arranged so as to approach each other at the notch portion 150, part of the cleaning agent that has reached each of the plate members 130 and 140 from the hole A1 reaches the point P3 (for example, the virtual point of the plate members 130 and 140 intersection).

In addition, when the cleaning agent discharged from hole A1 does not reach the wall members (for example, branching part 120 and plate members 130 and 140), it spreads in an arc shape centering on hole A1. Therefore, for example, the cleaning agent that has reached each of the notches 160 and 170 spreads in an arc shape and is pushed out to points P2 and P1, respectively. Also, for example, the cleaning agent that has reached plate members 122 and 124 is guided to points P1 and P2 along plate members 122 and 124, respectively.

As described above, the cleaning agent discharged from the hole A1 is guided to the points P1, P2, and P3. Therefore, according to the ejection attachment 100, even if there is no wall member around the entire outer circumference of the first closed space, the cleaning agent can A desired shape (heart shape) can be formed.

The body portion 110 is configured to be attachable to the discharge port 222 and has a hole A1 (opening) for discharging the cleaning agent. The wall member is connected to the body portion 110 and arranged around the hole A1. The wall member is configured to be contactable with the surface to be adhered so as to form a gap between the hole A1 of the main body 110 and the surface to be adhered. It has a shape with notches 150, 160, 170 communicating with the outside. The shape of the ejection attachment 100 in plan view is not rotationally symmetrical.

In this ejection attachment 100, the shape in plan view is not rotationally symmetrical.
