本発明は、詰め替え容器等に好適に用いることができる注出用スパウト及び注出用スパウト付き容器に関する。 TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a pouring spout and a container with a pouring spout that can be suitably used as a refillable container or the like.

詰め替え容器のスパウトとして、特許文献1には、周壁に注出口を有する有天筒状の注出筒を備えた固定部材と、注出筒に取り付けられて注出口を閉鎖する可動部材とからなり、可動部材を被詰め替え容器の口首部に押し付けることにより、可動部材が注出筒に沿って移動し注出口が開放される構造が提案されている。 As a spout for a refillable container, Patent Document 1 discloses a spout that includes a fixed member that includes a spout tube having a spout in the peripheral wall and a movable member that is attached to the spout tube and closes the spout. , a structure has been proposed in which the movable member is moved along the spout tube and the spout is opened by pressing the movable member against the neck of the container to be refilled.

特開2014-80218号公報Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2014-80218

特許文献1のスパウトでは、可動部材において複数の通気孔が周方向に間隔を設けて形成され、その内周側に注出筒が配置されている。詰め替え容器から供給される液体と入れ替わりに被詰め替え容器から排出される空気は、通気孔を通じて注出筒の外側から外部に放出される。このため、詰め替え容器が液体の排出に応じて容積を減少しないと、詰め替え容器の内部に負圧が発生し、液体が注出しにくくなる問題がある。 In the spout of Patent Document 1, a plurality of ventilation holes are formed at intervals in the circumferential direction in a movable member, and a spouting tube is arranged on the inner peripheral side of the ventilation holes. Air discharged from the refillable container in place of the liquid supplied from the refillable container is discharged to the outside from the outside of the spout tube through the ventilation hole. Therefore, unless the volume of the refillable container is reduced in accordance with the discharge of the liquid, a negative pressure will be generated inside the refillable container, causing a problem in which it will be difficult to pour out the liquid.

By moving the movable member from the distal end side to the proximal end side with respect to the spouting cylinder section, the closing section retracts from the distal end side of the slit and the content flow path is closed. Provided is a spout for spouting, which is open and the air outlet opens to the outside of the covering part.

前記可動部材は、前記注出筒部に対して先端側から基端側に移動させたときに、前記スパウト本体に係合する係合部を有してもよい。
前記可動部材は、前記閉止部が前記スリットを閉止する閉止位置と、前記注出筒部に対して先端側から基端側に移動させて前記内容物流路が開口する開放位置との間で、相互に切り替え可能であってもよい。
前記スパウト本体は、前記可動部材を前記軸線方向のスライド移動に案内する案内部を有してもよい。
The movable member may have an engaging portion that engages with the spout body when the movable member is moved from the distal end side to the proximal end side with respect to the spouting cylinder portion.
The movable member is between a closed position where the closing part closes the slit and an open position where the content channel is opened by moving from the distal end side to the proximal end side with respect to the spouting cylinder part, They may be mutually switchable.
The spout body may include a guide portion that guides the movable member to slide in the axial direction.

前記注出用スパウトは、前記注出筒部の先端側を覆うキャップを備え、前記キャップが前記可動部材の先端側から基端側への移動を阻止してもよい。
前記スパウト本体は、内容物を収容する本体容器に対する取付部を有し、前記注出筒部は前記取付部から先端側に突出していてもよい。
また、本発明は、前記注出用スパウトと、内容物を収容する胴部とを備えることを特徴とする注出用スパウト付き容器を提供する。

以下、好適な実施形態に基づき、図面を参照して本発明を説明する。 Hereinafter, the present invention will be described based on preferred embodiments and with reference to the drawings.

図1から図7に、実施形態の注出用スパウトを例示する。図1は、注出用スパウト10にキャップ40を付けた状態を示す。図2は、注出用スパウト10の閉止位置における状態を示す。図3は、注出用スパウト10の開放位置における状態を示す。図4及び図5は、注出用スパウト付き容器11の閉止位置における断面図を示す。注出用スパウト付き容器11の図6及び図7は、開放位置における断面図を示す。 FIGS. 1 to 7 illustrate spouts according to embodiments. FIG. 1 shows a state in which a cap 40 is attached to the spout 10 for dispensing. FIG. 2 shows the dispensing spout 10 in the closed position. FIG. 3 shows the dispensing spout 10 in its open position. 4 and 5 show cross-sectional views of the spouted container 11 in the closed position. 6 and 7 show a cross-sectional view of the spouted container 11 in the open position.

図1から図3に示すように、実施形態の注出用スパウト10は、注出筒部23を備えるスパウト本体20と、注出筒部23の先端側から基端側に移動が可能な可動部材30と、を備えている。さらに、実施形態の注出用スパウト10は、注出筒部23の先端部を覆うキャップ40を備えている。 As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the spout 10 of the embodiment includes a spout main body 20 including a spout cylinder part 23, and a movable spout body 20 that is movable from the distal end side to the base end side of the spout cylinder part 23. A member 30 is provided. Further, the spout 10 of the embodiment includes a cap 40 that covers the tip of the spout cylinder 23.

なお、本明細書において、先端側とは、注出筒部23の中心軸線に沿った両方向のうち、胴部14から注出用スパウト10に向かう側である。また、基端側とは、前記中心軸線に沿って注出用スパウト10から胴部14に向かう側である。また、以下の説明において、注出筒部23の中心軸線に対する径方向及び周方向を、それぞれ単に径方向及び周方向という場合がある。すなわち、径方向とは、前記中心軸線に直交する方向である。また、周方向とは、前記中心軸線の周りを取り囲む方向である。また、前記中心軸線に沿った方向を、軸線方向という場合がある。 In addition, in this specification, the tip side is the side facing the spout 10 from the body part 14 of both directions along the central axis of the spout cylinder part 23. Moreover, the proximal end side is the side that goes from the pouring spout 10 toward the body section 14 along the central axis. Moreover, in the following description, the radial direction and the circumferential direction with respect to the central axis of the pouring cylinder part 23 may be simply referred to as the radial direction and the circumferential direction, respectively. That is, the radial direction is a direction perpendicular to the central axis. Further, the circumferential direction is a direction surrounding the central axis. Further, the direction along the central axis may be referred to as an axial direction.

図4から図7では、注出用スパウト10が取り付けられる本体容器12の一部を合わせて図示する。注出用スパウト付き容器11は、本体容器12の口部13に注出用スパウト10を装着して構成されている。本体容器12は、内容物を収容する胴部14を有する。胴部14の下方には、底部(図示せず)を有してもよい。本体容器12は、自立性を有してもよく、また、平袋のように自立性を有しない容器であってもよい。 4 to 7, a part of the main container 12 to which the pouring spout 10 is attached is also illustrated. The spout-equipped container 11 is constructed by attaching the spout 10 to the mouth 13 of the main container 12. The main container 12 has a body 14 that accommodates contents. A bottom portion (not shown) may be provided below the body portion 14 . The main container 12 may be self-supporting, or may be a container that is not self-supporting, such as a flat bag.

スパウト本体20は、概略として、本体容器12に対する取付部21と、取付部21から先端側に突出した注出筒部23とを有する。
また、可動部材30は、概略として、注出筒部23に装着される基部31と、取付部21に係合される係合部32とを有する。
The spout main body 20 roughly includes an attachment part 21 for the main body container 12 and a spouting cylinder part 23 protruding from the attachment part 21 toward the distal end side.
Furthermore, the movable member 30 roughly includes a base portion 31 that is attached to the spouting cylinder portion 23 and an engaging portion 32 that is engaged with the attachment portion 21.

図1に示すように、キャップ40は、概略として、注出筒部23に装着される天部41と、取付部21及び基部31の間に係止される係止部42とを有する。図示例の天部41は円形であるが、四角形等の多角形、楕円形等、種々の形状に設計することが可能である。天部41の形状、構造等は、注出筒部23の先端側に適合すればよく、特に限定されない。 As shown in FIG. 1, the cap 40 roughly includes a top portion 41 that is attached to the spouting tube portion 23, and a locking portion 42 that is locked between the attachment portion 21 and the base portion 31. Although the top portion 41 in the illustrated example is circular, it can be designed in various shapes such as a polygon such as a quadrangle, an ellipse, and the like. The shape, structure, etc. of the top portion 41 are not particularly limited as long as they are compatible with the distal end side of the pouring tube portion 23.

係止部42は、可動部材30の基部31と取付部21の上縁部21cとの間に形成された切欠部32cに係止されている。キャップ40の装着により、可動部材30が先端側から基端側に移動することが阻止されている。図示例のキャップ40は、周方向の2箇所に対向して係止部42を有し、径方向の内側から外側に向けて弾性変形させることにより、取付部21に対する係止部42の係止が解除される。キャップ40をスパウト本体20に固定するための構造は、アーム状の部材の弾性変形を用いた係止に限定されず、例えば、取付部21の外周全面に対してキャップ40を嵌合してもよい。 The locking portion 42 is locked in a notch 32c formed between the base 31 of the movable member 30 and the upper edge 21c of the attachment portion 21. By attaching the cap 40, the movable member 30 is prevented from moving from the distal end side to the proximal end side. The illustrated cap 40 has locking portions 42 facing each other in two positions in the circumferential direction, and is elastically deformed from the inside to the outside in the radial direction, thereby locking the locking portions 42 to the mounting portion 21. is canceled. The structure for fixing the cap 40 to the spout main body 20 is not limited to locking using elastic deformation of an arm-shaped member. good.

図示例のスパウト本体20の場合、取付部21の上縁部21cが、先端側に向かってなだらかに肉厚を減少させたリブ状に形成されている。このため、上縁部21cの外側からキャップ40の係止部42を挟み込んだとき、上縁部21cが内側に変形しにくい。また、係止部42の係止を解除するとき、上縁部21cの外側の曲面に沿って、係止部42の内側に手指を掛けやすい。 In the case of the illustrated spout body 20, the upper edge 21c of the attachment portion 21 is formed in the shape of a rib whose thickness gradually decreases toward the distal end. Therefore, when the locking portion 42 of the cap 40 is pinched from the outside of the upper edge 21c, the upper edge 21c is unlikely to deform inward. Moreover, when releasing the locking of the locking part 42, it is easy to put a finger on the inside of the locking part 42 along the outer curved surface of the upper edge part 21c.

図2に示すように、注出用スパウト10からキャップ40を取り外すと、可動部材30は、注出筒部23に対して先端側から基端側に移動させることが可能になる。取付部21の側面に形成されている把持凹所21bは、本体容器12に対する注出用スパウト10の取り付け、キャップ40の取り外し等に際して、注出用スパウト10を把持するとき、必要に応じて使用することができる。図示例の可動部材30の場合は、周方向の2箇所で、切欠部32cとは異なる側に係合部32が形成されている。 As shown in FIG. 2, when the cap 40 is removed from the spout 10, the movable member 30 can be moved from the distal end to the proximal end with respect to the spout cylindrical portion 23. The gripping recess 21b formed on the side surface of the mounting portion 21 is used as necessary when gripping the spout 10 when attaching the spout 10 to the main container 12, removing the cap 40, etc. can do. In the illustrated example of the movable member 30, the engaging portions 32 are formed at two positions in the circumferential direction on different sides from the cutout portion 32c.

取付部21の側面には、可動部材30の移動の際に、係合部32が進入可能なスライド凹部22が形成されている。係合部32の内面に形成された係合凸部32a(図5、図7を参照)は、スライド凹部22内に形成された係合凹部22aに係合することが可能である。スライド凹部22は、係合部32に対して軸線方向に形成されており、可動部材30が軸線方向にスライド移動するように案内する案内部となっている。 A slide recess 22 is formed on the side surface of the attachment portion 21, into which the engagement portion 32 can enter when the movable member 30 moves. An engagement convex portion 32a (see FIGS. 5 and 7) formed on the inner surface of the engagement portion 32 can engage with an engagement recess 22a formed within the slide recess 22. The slide recess 22 is formed in the axial direction with respect to the engaging part 32, and serves as a guide part that guides the movable member 30 to slide in the axial direction.

基部31と係合部32との間に形成された補強リブ32bは、可動部材30の移動の際に、挿入溝22bに挿入される。補強リブ32bは、略均一の肉厚を有する板状であってもよい。挿入溝22bに補強リブ32bが挿入される深さは、可動部材30が基端側に移動され得る限度に応じて調整されてもよい。挿入溝22bは、補強リブ32bに対して軸線方向に形成されており、可動部材30が軸線方向にスライド移動するように案内する案内部となっている。 The reinforcing rib 32b formed between the base portion 31 and the engaging portion 32 is inserted into the insertion groove 22b when the movable member 30 moves. The reinforcing rib 32b may have a plate shape having a substantially uniform wall thickness. The depth at which the reinforcing rib 32b is inserted into the insertion groove 22b may be adjusted depending on the limit to which the movable member 30 can be moved toward the proximal end. The insertion groove 22b is formed in the axial direction with respect to the reinforcing rib 32b, and serves as a guide portion that guides the movable member 30 to slide in the axial direction.

注出筒部23は、取付部21から先端側に突出した形状である。これにより、注出筒部23の径方向の外側には、取付部21上で可動部材30を機能させる空間が整然と確保される。図示例の注出筒部23は、スリット26を除く全体形状が略円筒形状であるが、注出筒部23の形状は特に限定されず、三角筒状、四角筒状等の角筒状、楕円筒状等にしてもよい。 The pouring cylinder part 23 has a shape that projects from the attachment part 21 toward the distal end side. Thereby, a space in which the movable member 30 functions on the attachment part 21 is neatly secured on the outside of the spouting cylinder part 23 in the radial direction. The overall shape of the illustrated spouting cylinder part 23 except for the slit 26 is approximately cylindrical, but the shape of the spouting cylinder part 23 is not particularly limited, and may be a square cylinder such as a triangular cylinder or a square cylinder. It may also be shaped like an elliptical cylinder.

図2及び図3に示すように、注出筒部23は、軸線方向に沿って内容物流路24を開口したスリット26を有する。また、可動部材30は、スリット26において内容物流路24を閉止する閉止部33を有する。図示例の注出筒部23は、周方向の2箇所にスリット26を有し、また、周方向でスリット26の位置とは異なる2箇所に内容物流路24を有する。 As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the spouting cylinder portion 23 has a slit 26 that opens the content flow channel 24 along the axial direction. Furthermore, the movable member 30 has a closing portion 33 that closes the content flow channel 24 at the slit 26 . The illustrated pouring cylinder portion 23 has slits 26 at two locations in the circumferential direction, and also has content flow channels 24 at two locations different from the positions of the slits 26 in the circumferential direction.

スリット26の開口形状は、先端側から見た平面視で、略H字状に形成されている。なお、図示例のスリット26は、注出筒部23を2つ割り状に分割した形状となっている。スリット26は、少なくとも、注出筒部23の径方向の内側から外側に向けて開口した箇所を有する。注出筒部23の先端部においてスリット26が開口していなくても、スリット26から内容物を注出することは可能である。 The opening shape of the slit 26 is approximately H-shaped in plan view when viewed from the tip side. Note that the slit 26 in the illustrated example has a shape in which the pouring cylinder portion 23 is divided into two halves. The slit 26 has at least a portion that opens from the inside of the pouring cylinder portion 23 in the radial direction toward the outside. Even if the slit 26 is not open at the distal end of the dispensing cylinder 23, it is possible to pour out the contents from the slit 26.

スリット26が、注出筒部23の側部に加えて、中心軸線付近においても開口している。このため、中心軸線を介して対向して2箇所の内容物流路24から注出される内容物は、中心軸線付近で合流することができる。また、可動部材30を先端側からスパウト本体20に取り付ける際、スリット26の先端側から閉止部33を挿入することができる。なお、スリット26の形状は特に限定されず、注出筒部23の周方向の1箇所以上で任意の位置に配置することができる。 The slit 26 is open not only at the side of the spouting cylinder part 23 but also near the central axis. Therefore, the contents discharged from the two content flow channels 24 facing each other via the central axis can merge near the central axis. Further, when attaching the movable member 30 to the spout body 20 from the distal end side, the closing portion 33 can be inserted from the distal end side of the slit 26. Note that the shape of the slit 26 is not particularly limited, and can be arranged at one or more arbitrary positions in the circumferential direction of the spouting cylinder part 23.

可動部材30は、注出筒部23の内側に管状部34を有する。管状部34の内部には、軸線方向に沿って延びる空気流路35が形成されている。図示例の可動部材30は、空気流路35を有する管状部34を、中心軸線に沿った内容物流路24の両側2箇所に備えている。すなわち、上述した略H字状のスリット26における左右両側が、管状部34の配置される領域となっている。 The movable member 30 has a tubular part 34 inside the pouring cylinder part 23. An air flow path 35 is formed inside the tubular portion 34 and extends along the axial direction. The illustrated movable member 30 includes tubular portions 34 having air flow paths 35 at two locations on both sides of the content flow path 24 along the central axis. That is, both left and right sides of the above-described substantially H-shaped slit 26 are regions where the tubular portion 34 is arranged.

なお、閉止部33と管状部34との範囲は、必ずしも厳密に区別する必要はない。軸線方向で可動部材30がスリット26の位置と重なり合う、管状部34の先端側の部分のうち、空気流路35を囲む内部を除く外周部は、スリット26の側部を閉止する閉止部33として機能することができる。すなわち、可動部材30に含まれる同一の部分が、閉止部33の機能と管状部34の機能とを兼ねてもよい。 Note that the ranges of the closing portion 33 and the tubular portion 34 do not necessarily need to be strictly distinguished. Of the tip side portion of the tubular portion 34 where the movable member 30 overlaps the position of the slit 26 in the axial direction, the outer peripheral portion excluding the inside surrounding the air flow path 35 serves as a closing portion 33 that closes the side portion of the slit 26. can function. That is, the same part included in the movable member 30 may serve both the function of the closing part 33 and the function of the tubular part 34.

注出筒部23のスリット26側の面には、可動部材30の移動を案内するように、軸線方向に沿った案内溝25が形成されている。案内溝25は、管状部34を挟み込むように対をなして配置されている。すなわち、2箇所の管状部34に対して各2箇所、合計4箇所に案内溝25が設けられている。 A guide groove 25 along the axial direction is formed on the surface of the spouting cylinder part 23 on the slit 26 side so as to guide the movement of the movable member 30. The guide grooves 25 are arranged in pairs so as to sandwich the tubular portion 34 therebetween. That is, the guide grooves 25 are provided at two locations for each of the two tubular portions 34, for a total of four locations.

案内溝25は、管状部34に対して軸線方向に形成されており、可動部材30が軸線方向にスライド移動するように案内する案内部となっている。これにより、可動部材30は、軸線方向に沿った変位に際して、左右のいずれにも変位が抑制されている。すなわち、可動部材30の変位は、軸線方向の変位を主とし、径方向又は周方向の変位が起こりにくくなっている。 The guide groove 25 is formed in the axial direction with respect to the tubular portion 34, and serves as a guide portion that guides the movable member 30 to slide in the axial direction. Thereby, when the movable member 30 is displaced along the axial direction, displacement in either the left or right direction is suppressed. That is, the displacement of the movable member 30 is mainly axial displacement, and radial or circumferential displacement is less likely to occur.

図3及び図4に示すように、注出筒部23の先端側には、可動部材30の制動凹部33aに結合可能な制動凸部23aが形成されている。制動凸部23aは、注出筒部23の頂面部23bから径方向内側に突出している。また、制動凹部33aは、閉止部33の先端側で、頂面部23bに接する位置に形成されている。制動凸部23a及び制動凹部33aの結合力に抗して、可動部材30を先端側から基端側に移動させる外力が作用すると、注出筒部23及び閉止部33の弾性変形等により、制動凸部23a及び制動凹部33aの結合が解除されて、可動部材30が移動可能になる。 As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, a brake convex portion 23a that can be coupled to a brake concave portion 33a of the movable member 30 is formed on the distal end side of the pouring cylinder portion 23. The braking convex portion 23a projects inward in the radial direction from the top surface portion 23b of the spouting cylinder portion 23. Further, the brake recess 33a is formed on the distal end side of the closing portion 33 at a position in contact with the top surface portion 23b. When an external force is applied to move the movable member 30 from the distal end to the proximal end against the coupling force between the braking convex portion 23a and the braking concave portion 33a, the braking is performed due to elastic deformation of the spouting cylinder portion 23 and the closing portion 33, etc. The coupling between the convex portion 23a and the brake recess 33a is released, and the movable member 30 becomes movable.

なお、図示例の制動凸部23a及び制動凹部33aは、注出筒部23の内側で、スリット26に面する位置に設けられているが、注出筒部23の外側など、他の位置に設けられてもよい。図示例の場合、可動部材30が移動する際、閉止部33がスリット26内で変位しても、制動凹部33aが凹んでいるため、閉止部33がスリット26に干渉することなく、円滑な移動が可能である。例えば、スリット26の開口幅を基端側で広くする場合には、可動部材30側に制動凸部を設け、スパウト本体側に制動凹部を設けてもよい。 In addition, although the braking convex portion 23a and the braking recess 33a in the illustrated example are provided at a position facing the slit 26 inside the spouting cylinder portion 23, they may be provided at other positions such as outside the spouting cylinder portion 23. may be provided. In the case of the illustrated example, even if the closing part 33 is displaced within the slit 26 when the movable member 30 moves, the braking recess 33a is recessed, so the closing part 33 does not interfere with the slit 26 and can move smoothly. is possible. For example, when the opening width of the slit 26 is widened on the proximal end side, a braking convex portion may be provided on the movable member 30 side, and a braking concave portion may be provided on the spout body side.

図4に示すように、実施形態の注出用スパウト10は、スパウト本体20と本体容器12とが別部材から構成されている。具体的には、本体容器12の充填口又は注出口となる口部13の周囲に、取付部21から基端側に、取付筒部28が突出されている。取付筒部28の内面のねじ部28aと、口部13の外面のねじ部13aとの結合により、スパウト本体20が本体容器12に固定される。 As shown in FIG. 4, in the spout 10 of the embodiment, the spout body 20 and the main body container 12 are constructed from separate members. Specifically, a mounting cylinder portion 28 protrudes from the mounting portion 21 toward the proximal end around the mouth portion 13 that serves as a filling or pouring port of the main container 12 . The spout main body 20 is fixed to the main body container 12 by coupling the threaded portion 28 a on the inner surface of the mounting cylinder portion 28 with the threaded portion 13 a on the outer surface of the mouth portion 13 .

取付部21の内側は、本体容器12の肩部15との干渉を避けるように、取付凹所21aが形成されている。肩部15は、胴部14から口部13に向けて先細りとなる部分である。取付筒部28は、取付凹所21a内に配置されている。取付筒部28の位置を口部13に合わせて、ねじ部13a,28aを結合することにより、スパウト本体20を本体容器12に取り付けることができる。また、ねじ部13a,28aを取付のときとは反対側に回転させることにより、スパウト本体20を本体容器12から取り外すことができる。 A mounting recess 21 a is formed inside the mounting portion 21 so as to avoid interference with the shoulder portion 15 of the main container 12 . The shoulder portion 15 is a portion that tapers from the body portion 14 toward the mouth portion 13. The mounting cylinder portion 28 is arranged within the mounting recess 21a. The spout main body 20 can be attached to the main body container 12 by aligning the position of the mounting cylinder part 28 with the mouth part 13 and coupling the threaded parts 13a and 28a. Further, the spout main body 20 can be removed from the main body container 12 by rotating the threaded portions 13a and 28a in the opposite direction from when they are attached.

本体容器12において、内容物の収容部を含む胴部14の構成は、特に限定されないが、例えば、ボトル容器、パウチ容器、チューブ容器等が挙げられる。本体容器12がボトル容器などの成形容器である場合は、成形容器の一部として、スパウト本体20が本体容器12に一体化されていてもよい。本体容器12がボトル容器などのリジッド(剛性)容器又は半剛性容器からなる場合には、肉厚の樹脂成形容器、金属容器、ガラス容器等によって本体容器12を構成することも可能である。 In the main container 12, the structure of the body 14 including the content storage part is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include a bottle container, a pouch container, a tube container, and the like. When the main container 12 is a molded container such as a bottle container, the spout main body 20 may be integrated into the main container 12 as a part of the molded container. When the main container 12 is made of a rigid container such as a bottle container or a semi-rigid container, the main container 12 can also be made of a thick resin molded container, a metal container, a glass container, or the like.

本体容器12の構造等に応じて、スパウト本体20は、本体容器12の口部13、胴部14、肩部15のいずれに取り付けることも可能である。本体容器12に対する取付部21の取付け方法は特に限定されず、嵌合、係合、接着等が挙げられる。接着は、スパウト本体20又は本体容器12の材料を溶融させる等による接着でもよく、接着剤を付与した接着でもよい。 Depending on the structure of the main container 12, the spout main body 20 can be attached to any of the mouth 13, body 14, and shoulder 15 of the main container 12. The method of attaching the attaching portion 21 to the main container 12 is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include fitting, engagement, adhesion, and the like. The adhesion may be by melting the material of the spout body 20 or the main body container 12, or by applying an adhesive.

パウチ容器に取付部21を接合する場合は、取付部21の外面又は内面にフィルム、シート等のパウチ部材を接合してもよい。パウチ部材は、少なくとも片面に熱可塑性樹脂からなるシーラント層、接着層を有することで、パウチ部材同士の接合に食わせて、パウチ部材とスパウト本体との接合を行うことができる。パウチ容器としては、スタンディングパウチ、側面又は底面にフィルムの折り込みを有するガゼット容器などが挙げられる。 When attaching the attachment part 21 to the pouch container, a pouch member such as a film or a sheet may be attached to the outer or inner surface of the attachment part 21. By having a sealant layer made of a thermoplastic resin and an adhesive layer on at least one side of the pouch member, the pouch member and the spout body can be joined together in addition to the joining between the pouch members. Examples of the pouch container include a standing pouch and a gusset container having a folded film on the side or bottom surface.

ボトル容器などの成形容器を成形する材料としては、熱可塑性樹脂、熱硬化性樹脂等の各種合成樹脂が挙げられる。パウチ容器、チューブ容器、ボトル容器などの容器が、金属、紙、無機化合物、有機化合物等の樹脂以外の材質からなる層を含んでもよい。被注出容器(図示せず)は、内容物を注出する相手側となる容器である。本体容器12は、被注出容器に内容物を移し替えるための詰め替え容器としてもよい。被注出容器としては、被詰め替え容器、計量容器、その他の各種の容器が挙げられる。注出用スパウト10は、使い捨てでもよく、同種の本体容器12に付け替えて、繰り返し使用してもよい。 Examples of materials for molding molded containers such as bottle containers include various synthetic resins such as thermoplastic resins and thermosetting resins. Containers such as pouch containers, tube containers, and bottle containers may include a layer made of a material other than resin, such as metal, paper, inorganic compound, or organic compound. The container to be poured (not shown) is a container to which the contents are poured. The main container 12 may be a refill container for transferring the contents to a container to be poured. Examples of the container to be poured include a container to be refilled, a measuring container, and various other containers. The pouring spout 10 may be disposable, or may be replaced with the same type of main container 12 and used repeatedly.

注出用スパウト10を構成するスパウト本体20、可動部材30及びキャップ40は、例えば、熱可塑性樹脂、熱硬化性樹脂等の各種合成樹脂から成形することができる。実施形態の注出用スパウト10は、スパウト本体20及び可動部材30をそれぞれ一体成形品として2部材、キャップ40を含めると3部材から構成することができる。 The spout body 20, movable member 30, and cap 40 that constitute the pouring spout 10 can be molded from various synthetic resins such as thermoplastic resins and thermosetting resins. The pouring spout 10 of the embodiment can be constructed of two members, each including the spout body 20 and the movable member 30 as integrally molded products, and three members including the cap 40.

スパウト本体20を2以上の部品から組み立てて構成してもよく、可動部材30を2以上の部品から組み立てて構成してもよく、キャップ40を2以上の部品から組み立てて構成してもよい。また、スパウト本体20、可動部材30又はキャップ40からなる3部材のうち、少なくとも2以上の部材を、紐状の連結部などを介して連結することにより、連結部の端部に各部材が構成された一体成形品とすることも可能である。 The spout body 20 may be assembled from two or more parts, the movable member 30 may be assembled from two or more parts, and the cap 40 may be assembled from two or more parts. Furthermore, by connecting at least two of the three members consisting of the spout main body 20, the movable member 30, or the cap 40 via a string-like connecting portion, each member is configured at the end of the connecting portion. It is also possible to create an integrally molded product.

図5に示すように、空気流路35の入口である空気入口35aは、管状部34の軸線方向における先端部34aに開口している。空気流路35は、管状部34の内部において、軸線方向に沿って基端側に延びている。空気流路35の基端側では、空気流路35が軸線方向から側方に屈曲し、空気出口35bが管状部34の側面に開口している。空気出口35bは、空気流路35の出口である。管状部34の基端部34bは、空気流路35が開口されることなく、閉鎖されている。 As shown in FIG. 5, the air inlet 35a, which is the inlet of the air flow path 35, opens at the tip 34a of the tubular portion 34 in the axial direction. The air flow path 35 extends toward the proximal end along the axial direction inside the tubular portion 34 . At the base end side of the air flow path 35, the air flow path 35 is bent laterally from the axial direction, and the air outlet 35b opens on the side surface of the tubular portion 34. The air outlet 35b is an outlet of the air flow path 35. The proximal end portion 34b of the tubular portion 34 is closed without the air flow path 35 being opened.

スパウト本体20は、空気出口35bを覆う筒状の被覆部27を有する。被覆部27は、取付部21において、取付筒部28の内側から基端側に突出している。被覆部27は、先端側に先端開口部27aが開口し、基端側に基端開口部27bが開口したトンネル状の内壁部27cを有する。被覆部27は、管状部34に対して軸線方向に形成されており、可動部材30が軸線方向にスライド移動するように案内する案内部となっている。 The spout body 20 has a cylindrical covering portion 27 that covers the air outlet 35b. The covering portion 27 protrudes from the inside of the mounting cylinder portion 28 toward the proximal end in the mounting portion 21 . The covering portion 27 has a tunnel-shaped inner wall portion 27c having a distal opening 27a on the distal side and a proximal opening 27b on the proximal side. The covering portion 27 is formed in the axial direction with respect to the tubular portion 34, and serves as a guide portion that guides the movable member 30 to slide in the axial direction.

スパウト本体20に可動部材30を取り付けるときは、管状部34を基端開口部27bに挿入し、内壁部27cに沿って基端側に移動させることで、管状部34が取付部21に支持される。閉止位置において、空気出口35bは、基端開口部27bに露出されることなく、内壁部27cに接して閉鎖される。 When attaching the movable member 30 to the spout body 20, the tubular portion 34 is supported by the attachment portion 21 by inserting the tubular portion 34 into the proximal opening 27b and moving it toward the proximal end along the inner wall portion 27c. Ru. In the closed position, the air outlet 35b is closed in contact with the inner wall 27c without being exposed to the proximal opening 27b.

図4に示すように、閉止部33がスリット26を閉止する閉止位置において、上述した制動凸部23a及び制動凹部33a等の作用により、可動部材30の移動は、一旦停止される。閉止位置におけるスパウト本体20と可動部材30との位置関係は、上述したように制動凸部23a及び制動凹部33aの結合を解除する程度の外力が作用するまでは安定している。このため、本体容器12の口部13に注出用スパウト10を取り付けた後、内容物が胴部14から注出されるように口部13を傾け、さらには口部13を下向きにしても、可動部材30は閉止位置を維持することができる。 As shown in FIG. 4, in the closed position where the closing portion 33 closes the slit 26, the movement of the movable member 30 is temporarily stopped by the actions of the brake convex portion 23a, the brake concave portion 33a, etc. described above. The positional relationship between the spout main body 20 and the movable member 30 in the closed position is stable until an external force is applied to release the coupling between the brake convex portion 23a and the brake concave portion 33a, as described above. Therefore, even if the spout 10 is attached to the mouth 13 of the main container 12, the spout 13 is tilted so that the contents are poured out from the body 14, and even if the mouth 13 is turned downward. The movable member 30 can maintain the closed position.

本体容器12から被注出容器に対して、可動部材30の先端側を押し当てる等すると、閉止位置を超えた移動が可能になり、制動凸部23a及び制動凹部33aの結合が解除される。このため、ユーザーが本体容器12から内容物を取り出そうとするとき、スパウト本体20又は可動部材30を手に取って操作しなくても、可動部材30の移動を開始することが可能である。本体容器12の口部13を傾け、又は下向きにした状態でも、注出用スパウト10が閉止位置にあれば内容物は注出されないため、注出用スパウト10を被注出容器に容易に接近させることができる。 When the distal end side of the movable member 30 is pressed against the container to be poured from the main container 12, movement beyond the closed position becomes possible, and the coupling between the brake protrusion 23a and the brake recess 33a is released. Therefore, when the user wants to take out the contents from the main container 12, it is possible to start moving the movable member 30 without picking up and operating the spout main body 20 or the movable member 30. Even if the mouth portion 13 of the main container 12 is tilted or facing downward, the contents will not be poured out if the spout 10 is in the closed position, so the spout 10 can be easily approached to the container to be poured. can be done.

図6に示すように、可動部材30がスパウト本体20に対して先端側から基端側に移動すると、閉止部33がスリット26の先端側から退避して、内容物流路24が外部に開口した開放位置になる。開放位置では、注出筒部23の先端側と、閉止部33の先端側との間で、スリット26を通じて内容物流路24が開口される。本体容器12の口部13を傾け、又は下向きにした状態で、注出用スパウト10が開放位置になると、被注出容器に向けて内容物Lを注出することができる。本体容器12が肩部15を有する場合は、内容物Lが肩部15に沿って、少なくとも中心軸線に対する片側から流れてもよい。 As shown in FIG. 6, when the movable member 30 moves from the distal end side to the proximal end side with respect to the spout body 20, the closing part 33 retreats from the distal end side of the slit 26, and the content channel 24 opens to the outside. into the open position. In the open position, the content channel 24 is opened through the slit 26 between the distal end side of the spouting cylinder part 23 and the distal end side of the closing part 33. When the spout 10 is in the open position with the mouth 13 of the main container 12 tilted or facing downward, the contents L can be poured into the container to be poured. When the main container 12 has a shoulder 15, the contents L may flow along the shoulder 15 from at least one side with respect to the central axis.

図示例の注出用スパウト10の場合は、注出筒部23の中心軸線を含む平面に沿ってスリット26が注出筒部23を二つ割り状に分割し、注出筒部23の先端側で頂面部23bが内容物流路24の断面積を規制している。これにより、スリット26の両側から内容物流路24を経由した内容物Lの流れは、中心軸線に沿って注出筒部23の中心付近に集中する傾向を示す。これにより、内容物Lの流れが安定になり、被注出容器に対して、より確実に内容物Lを注出することができる。 In the case of the illustrated spout 10, the slit 26 divides the spout cylinder 23 into two parts along a plane including the central axis of the spout cylinder 23, and the distal end side of the spout cylinder 23 is divided into two. The top surface portion 23b regulates the cross-sectional area of the content flow path 24. As a result, the flow of the contents L from both sides of the slit 26 via the contents flow channel 24 tends to concentrate near the center of the spouting cylinder part 23 along the central axis. Thereby, the flow of the contents L becomes stable, and the contents L can be more reliably poured into the container to be poured.

図示例では、可動部材30の閉止部33は、開放位置においても、内容物流路24の途中に位置している。閉止部33の基端側には、V字状に対向する一対の分流斜面33bが形成されている。これにより、内容物流路24に閉止部33が存在しても、内容物Lの流れが乱れにくくなる。図示例の分流斜面33bは、中心軸線を含む平面に対して対称的に配置された2つの斜面からなる。分流斜面33bが片流れ状の1つの斜面であってもよく、周方向で放射状に3つ以上の斜面、あるいは円錐状であってもよい。分流斜面33bの突端は丸みを持たせてもよい。 In the illustrated example, the closing portion 33 of the movable member 30 is located in the middle of the content channel 24 even in the open position. A pair of diversion slopes 33b facing each other in a V-shape are formed on the base end side of the closing portion 33. Thereby, even if the closing portion 33 is present in the content flow path 24, the flow of the content L is less likely to be disturbed. The diversion slope 33b in the illustrated example consists of two slopes arranged symmetrically with respect to a plane including the central axis. The diversion slope 33b may be one slope with a single flow, three or more slopes radially in the circumferential direction, or may be conical. The tip of the diversion slope 33b may be rounded.

また、図7に示すように、開放位置においては、被覆部27の内壁部27cに沿った管状部34の変位が進行し、空気出口35bが基端開口部27bを脱する。その結果、空気出口35bが被覆部27の外側に露出され、本体容器12内に向けて開口する。これにより、内容物Lと入れ替わりに被注出容器から排出された空気Aが、空気流路35を通じて本体容器12に流入する。 Further, as shown in FIG. 7, in the open position, the displacement of the tubular portion 34 along the inner wall portion 27c of the covering portion 27 progresses, and the air outlet 35b escapes from the base end opening 27b. As a result, the air outlet 35b is exposed to the outside of the covering portion 27 and opens into the main container 12. As a result, the air A discharged from the container to be poured instead of the contents L flows into the main container 12 through the air flow path 35.

空気流路35は軸線方向の基端側には開口しておらず、管状部34の側方に開口しているため、内容物Lが空気流路35に進入することは起こりにくい。また、空気流路35の断面積に比べて、内容物流路24の断面積が大きいため、内容物Lが空気流路35に進入することは起こりにくい。さらに、開放位置における空気出口35bの位置が、本体容器12の肩部15の位置に比べて、軸線方向で基端側に突出しているため、肩部15に沿って流れる内容物Lが空気出口35bに到達しにくい。 Since the air flow path 35 does not open toward the proximal end side in the axial direction, but opens toward the side of the tubular portion 34, it is difficult for the contents L to enter the air flow path 35. Furthermore, since the cross-sectional area of the content flow path 24 is larger than the cross-sectional area of the air flow path 35, it is difficult for the contents L to enter the air flow path 35. Furthermore, since the position of the air outlet 35b in the open position protrudes proximally in the axial direction compared to the position of the shoulder 15 of the main container 12, the contents L flowing along the shoulder 15 are transferred to the air outlet. It is difficult to reach 35b.

実施形態の注出用スパウト10によれば、本体容器12が内容物Lの排出に応じて容積を減じにくい剛性容器又は半剛性容器であっても、内容物Lの減少に応じた体積の空気が、被注出容器から本体容器12内に流入する。これにより、本体容器12の内外の圧力差が生じにくくなり、本体容器12から内容物Lが円滑に注出される。 According to the pouring spout 10 of the embodiment, even if the main container 12 is a rigid container or a semi-rigid container that does not easily reduce its volume as the contents L is discharged, the volume of air is adjusted according to the decrease in the contents L. flows into the main container 12 from the container to be poured. Thereby, a pressure difference between the inside and outside of the main container 12 is less likely to occur, and the contents L are smoothly poured out from the main container 12.

上述したように、内容物Lの注出は、閉止部33がスリット26の先端側から退避した段階から開始される。また、空気Aの流入は、空気出口35bが被覆部27の基端開口部27bを超えた段階で開始される。本体容器12から被注出容器への内容物Lの注出と、被注出容器から本体容器12への空気Aの流入が略同時期に開始するため、空気Aの流入量が内容物Lの注出量に連動して変化することができる。 As described above, pouring out of the contents L starts from the stage when the closing part 33 is retracted from the tip side of the slit 26. Furthermore, the inflow of air A is started when the air outlet 35b exceeds the base end opening 27b of the covering portion 27. Since the dispensing of the contents L from the main container 12 to the container to be poured and the inflow of the air A from the container to be poured into the main container 12 start at approximately the same time, the amount of inflow of the air A is equal to the amount of the contents L. can be changed in conjunction with the amount dispensed.

さらに、注出筒部23に対して、可動部材30を先端側から基端側に移動させることにより、可動部材30の係合凸部32aがスパウト本体20の係合凹部22aに係合して、可動部材30が開放位置に固定される。これにより、開放位置において、被注出容器に対し可動部材30を接触させ続けなくても、可動部材30が基端側から先端側に戻ることがなく、開放位置の状態が維持される。 Furthermore, by moving the movable member 30 from the distal end side to the proximal end side with respect to the spouting cylinder part 23, the engaging convex part 32a of the movable member 30 engages with the engaging concave part 22a of the spout main body 20. , the movable member 30 is fixed in the open position. As a result, even if the movable member 30 is not kept in contact with the container to be poured at the open position, the movable member 30 does not return from the proximal side to the distal side, and the open position state is maintained.

しかしながら、実施形態の注出用スパウト10においても、係合凸部32aと係合凹部22aとの係合を解除することにより、開放位置から閉止位置へと可動部材30の位置を戻すことが可能である。また、係合部32における係合凸部32aの係合を省略して、開放位置における可動部材30の位置を、注出筒部23の案内溝25及び被覆部27の内壁部27cに対する管状部34の摩擦力等で維持してもよい。これにより、可動部材30の位置を閉止位置と開放位置との間で相互に切り替え可能となる。 However, also in the spout 10 of the embodiment, the position of the movable member 30 can be returned from the open position to the closed position by disengaging the engagement convex portion 32a and the engagement recess 22a. It is. In addition, the engagement of the engagement convex portion 32a in the engagement portion 32 is omitted, and the position of the movable member 30 in the open position is determined by the tubular portion relative to the guide groove 25 of the spouting cylinder portion 23 and the inner wall portion 27c of the covering portion 27. It may be maintained by a friction force of 34 or the like. Thereby, the position of the movable member 30 can be switched between the closed position and the open position.

例えば、可動部材30が被注出容器に接触している間だけ開放位置が維持され、可動部材30が被注出容器から離れたとき、可動部材30が閉止位置に向けて基端側から先端側への移動を開始する構成とすることも可能である。例えば、内容物Lが内容物流路24内で流れ落ちる間で頂面部23bに生じる作用により、可動部材30が先端側に向けて変位する運動を得てもよい。また、バネ等の付勢により、可動部材30が被注出容器から離れたときに、可動部材30が先端側に向けて変位してもよい。 For example, the open position is maintained only while the movable member 30 is in contact with the container to be poured, and when the movable member 30 is separated from the container to be poured, the movable member 30 moves from the proximal end to the distal end toward the closed position. It is also possible to adopt a configuration in which movement to the side is started. For example, the movable member 30 may be displaced toward the distal end by an action that occurs on the top surface portion 23b while the contents L flow down within the contents flow path 24. Further, when the movable member 30 is separated from the container to be poured, the movable member 30 may be displaced toward the distal end side by biasing from a spring or the like.

実施形態の注出用スパウト10によれば、空気流路35が注出筒部23の内側で延び、空気出口35bが管状部34の側方に開口しているので、閉止位置では内容物流路24と共に空気出口35bが閉止される。また、可動部材30を閉止位置から開放位置に移動させることで、内容物流路24が外部に開口すると共に、空気出口35bが本体容器12内に開口する。内容物流路24と空気流路35は、管状部34及び被覆部27により区画されるので、液体等の内容物Lが注出しやすくなる。 According to the dispensing spout 10 of the embodiment, the air flow path 35 extends inside the dispensing cylinder section 23 and the air outlet 35b opens to the side of the tubular section 34, so that the content channel does not flow in the closed position. 24 and the air outlet 35b are closed. Further, by moving the movable member 30 from the closed position to the open position, the content channel 24 opens to the outside and the air outlet 35b opens into the main container 12. Since the content flow path 24 and the air flow path 35 are partitioned by the tubular portion 34 and the covering portion 27, the content L such as liquid can be easily poured out.

以上、本発明を好適な実施形態に基づいて説明してきたが、本発明は上述の実施形態に限定されるものではなく、本発明の要旨を逸脱しない範囲で種々の改変が可能である。 Although the present invention has been described above based on the preferred embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention.

実施形態の注出用スパウト10は、スライド凹部22、挿入溝22b、案内溝25、被覆部27等が、軸線方向に沿った可動部材30のスライド移動に対応した案内部となっている。可動部材の移動方向は、軸線方向に沿った直線状のスライド移動に限定されず、ねじ等を用いた螺旋状のねじり運動、ヒンジ等を用いた円弧状の回転運動などでもよい。可動部材の移動方向に応じた向きを有する案内部をスパウト本体に設けることにより、所望の移動方向に対応することも可能である。 In the pouring spout 10 of the embodiment, the slide recess 22, the insertion groove 22b, the guide groove 25, the covering part 27, etc. serve as a guide part corresponding to the sliding movement of the movable member 30 along the axial direction.
