However, in the above-mentioned dispensing container, since the contents are relatively soft even though they are solid, the dispensing member is formed into a bottomed cylindrical body consisting of a cylindrical body and an inner tray connected to the lower end of the cylindrical body. It is necessary to have a structure that supports the lower part of the contents inside the container. Therefore, even if the feeding member is fed out to the stroke end, it is difficult to use up the contents to the end, and there is a problem that the contents tend to remain.

In addition, since the contents are gradually drawn out from the sleeve body by rotating the sleeve body relative to the case body, it is difficult for the user to recognize that the remaining amount of contents has become low. there were.

The present invention has been made in view of these problems, and its purpose is to reduce the amount of content remaining and to make the user aware that the amount of content remaining has decreased. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a feeding container that allows for

A configuration may be adopted in which only one of the side cylinder 17 and the upper cylinder 18 is provided on the lower side cylinder 17 or the upper side cylinder 18, and the other is provided on the inner circumferential surface of the peripheral wall 11.

A sleeve body 20 is arranged inside the case body 10.

The sleeve body 20 includes a first sleeve 21 disposed inside the case body 10 so as to be relatively rotatable with respect to the case body 10 around an axis O, and a first sleeve 21 connected to the first sleeve via a breakable first weakened connection part 22. The second sleeve 23 is coaxially and integrally connected to the second sleeve 21 and has a portion protruding outward from the feeding opening 13. In this embodiment, the sleeve body 20 is an injection molded product made of synthetic resin, and the second sleeve 23 is connected at its lower end to the upper end of the first sleeve 21 via the first weakened connection part 22. There is.

As shown in FIG. 2, the first sleeve 21 includes a first vertical groove 21a extending in a direction along the axis O and a locking groove 21b extending circumferentially from the first vertical groove 21a.

In this embodiment, the second vertical groove 21c is provided on an extension line of the first vertical groove 21a, but may be provided offset in the circumferential direction.

In this embodiment, the first sleeve 21 has a configuration in which a pair of first vertical grooves 21a, a locking groove 21b, and a second vertical groove 21c are provided symmetrically across the axis O. The first vertical groove 21a, the locking groove 21b, and the second vertical groove 21c may each be provided one each, or the first vertical groove 21a, the locking groove 21b, and the second vertical groove 21c are each aligned with the axis O. It is also possible to have a configuration in which three or more are arranged at equal intervals around the center. Further, the number of second vertical grooves 21c may be different from the number of first vertical grooves 21a and locking grooves 21b.

The second sleeve 23 has an outer diameter smaller than the inner diameter of the first sleeve 21, and can enter the inside of the first sleeve 21 when the first weakened connection part 22 is broken. There is. The second sleeve 23 can accommodate the contents 2 therein.

A first convex portion 23a is integrally provided on the outer peripheral surface of the second sleeve 23. The number of first convex portions 23a corresponds to the number of second vertical grooves 21c. In this embodiment, a pair of first convex portions 23a are provided on the outer circumferential surface of the second sleeve 23 symmetrically across the axis O, corresponding to the pair of second vertical grooves 21c. The first convex portion 23a has a cylindrical shape that protrudes radially outward from the outer peripheral surface of the second sleeve 23, and its outer diameter is wider than the groove width of the second spiral groove 16 and the second vertical groove 21c. It is slightly smaller.

As shown in FIG. 1, the portion of the second sleeve 23 where the first protrusion 23a is provided is housed inside the case body 10, and the first protrusion 23a is locked to the cap body 14. The sleeve body 20 is prevented from coming off from the case body 10.

Furthermore, a circumferential groove 19 that extends in the circumferential direction is provided on the inner peripheral surface of the case body 10, and is located between the feeding port 13 and the second spiral groove 16. In this embodiment, the circumferential groove 19 is provided between the second helical groove 16 and the cap body 14 so as to be continuous with the second helical groove 16 . The pair of first protrusions 23a engage with the circumferential groove 19 and are movable along the circumferential groove 19. Since the circumferential groove 19 is continuous with the second spiral groove 16, when the first weakened connection part 22 breaks and the second sleeve 23 enters the inside of the first sleeve 21, the first convex part 23a It can engage with the second helical groove 16 and the second vertical groove 21c and move downward with respect to the case body 10 along these.

The second sleeve 23 is provided with an engagement hole 23b. In this embodiment, the second sleeve 23 is provided with a pair of engagement holes 23b located above each of the first convex portions 23a.

The first weakened connection part 22 is formed in a film shape that is thinner than the other part that connects the first sleeve 21 and the second sleeve 23 over the entire circumference, and is When the two sleeves 23 rotate relative to each other about the axis O, the first sleeve 21 and the second sleeve 23 are separated.

A feeding member 30 is arranged inside the sleeve body 20.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the feeding member 30 includes a cylindrical body 31 disposed inside the sleeve body 20 so as to be movable relative to the sleeve body 20 in the direction along the axis O, and a cylindrical body 31 that can be broken. 2. The inner plate member 33 is coaxially and integrally connected to the cylindrical body 31 via a weakened connecting portion 32. In this embodiment, the feeding member 30 is an injection molded product made of synthetic resin, and the inner plate member 33 is connected to the inside of the cylindrical body 31 via a second weakened connecting portion 32.

The part above the middle plate member 33, which is partitioned by the cylindrical body 31 and the middle plate member 33, has a cylindrical shape with a bottom, and the lower end of the contents 2 is stored inside this part. There is. That is, the feeding member 30 supports the lower end portion of the content 2 in a bottomed cylindrical portion partitioned by the cylindrical body 31 and the inner plate member 33. Therefore, when the feeding member 30 moves relative to the case body 10 upward in FIG. 1, the contents 2 are pushed by the feeding member 30 and are fed out from the upper end of the second sleeve 23 of the sleeve body 20 to the outside.

The cylindrical body 31 is provided with a pair of notch grooves 31a that extend downward from the portion where the second weakened connection portion 32 is provided, and the pair of notch grooves 31a of the cylindrical body 31 are divided by the notch grooves 31a. A protrusion 31b is integrally provided on the outer peripheral surface of each arcuate portion. The same number of protrusions 31b as the engagement holes 23b provided in the second sleeve 23 are provided. The protrusions 31b each protrude radially outward from the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical body 31, and are provided on the second sleeve 23 when the feeding member 30 moves to the upper stroke end with respect to the case body 10. It is possible to engage with the corresponding engagement hole 23b that has been inserted. The circumferential width and vertical width of the engagement hole 23b and the protrusion 31b are approximately the same, and when the protrusion 31b engages with the engagement hole 23b, the cylindrical body 31 is attached to the second sleeve 23 in the circumferential direction. and is restrained in the vertical direction and integrated with the second sleeve 23.

The inner plate member 33 integrally includes an inner plate main body 33a that forms a bottomed cylindrical portion together with the cylindrical body 31, and a pair of legs 33b extending downward from the inner plate main body 33a. Second convex portions 33c are integrally provided on the outer circumferential surface of each portion 33b. The number of second convex portions 33c corresponds to the number of first vertical grooves 21a. In this embodiment, the inner plate member 33 is provided with a pair of second convex portions 33c symmetrically across the axis O, corresponding to the pair of first vertical grooves 21a. The second convex portion 33c has a cylindrical shape that protrudes radially outward from the outer peripheral surface of the leg portion 33b, and its outer diameter is equal to that of the first spiral groove 15, the first vertical groove 21a, and the locking groove 21b. It is slightly smaller than the groove width.

Each second convex portion 33c penetrates the corresponding first vertical groove 21a, engages with the first spiral groove 15, and is movable along the first vertical groove 21a and the first spiral groove 15. . Moreover, the second convex portion 33c engages with the first vertical groove 21a, so that the feeding member 30 is prevented from rotating by the sleeve body 20. Therefore, when the sleeve body 20 rotates relative to the case body 10 around the axis O, the second convex portion 33c moves along the first spiral groove 15, so that the feeding member 30 is fed out with respect to the sleeve body 20. It is possible to relatively move in the direction (upward in FIG. 1) and pay out the contents 2 from the upper end of the second sleeve 23 to the outside. When the feeding member 30 moves upward relative to the sleeve body 20, the cylindrical body 31 slides against the inner circumferential surface of the second sleeve 23, thereby being housed inside the second sleeve 23. The contents 2 are efficiently delivered to the outside.

The second weakened connection part 32 is formed into a film shape that is thinner than the other part that connects the cylindrical body 31 and the inner plate member 33 over the entire circumference, and is It is configured so that when the plate member 33 rotates relative to the axis O, it breaks and separates the cylindrical body 31 and the inner plate member 33.

Although details are not shown, the feeding container 1 may be configured to include a cap that is removably fitted and fixed to the cap body 14 of the case body 10 and covers the second sleeve 23.

Next, the operation of the feeding container 1 having the above structure will be explained.

First, while holding the case body 10 with one hand, the second sleeve 23 is rotated relative to the case body 10 to one side (forward direction) about the axis O using the other hand. When the second sleeve 23 rotates relative to the case body 10, the second convex portion 33c moves along the first spiral groove 15, so that the feeding member 30 moves in the feeding direction with respect to the case body 10 and the sleeve body 20. The contents 2 are drawn out from the upper end of the second sleeve 23 by relative movement. The content 2 drawn out from the upper end of the second sleeve 23 can be used by applying it to an object to be coated. The user can dispense a desired amount of contents 2 to the outside from the upper end of the second sleeve 23 by adjusting the amount of rotational operation of the second sleeve 23 as necessary.

The contents 2 are fed out one after another, and the feeding member 30 moves upward relative to the case body 10 to the stroke end (the position where the second convex portion 33c reaches the upper end of the first spiral groove 15), as shown in FIG. Then, the pair of protrusions 31b provided on the cylindrical body 31 of the feeding member 30 engage with the corresponding engagement holes 23b provided on the second sleeve 23, and the cylindrical body 31 engages with the second sleeve 23. It is integrated in a non-rotating state. Further, the second convex portion 33c provided on the inner plate member 33 moves from the first longitudinal groove 21a provided on the first sleeve 21 to the locking groove 21b and engages with the locking groove 21b, thereby The dish member 33 and the first sleeve 21 are prevented from rotating relative to the case body 10 in the rotation operation direction. Therefore, after the feeding member 30 reaches the stroke end with respect to the case body 10, when the rotational operation is further performed and the second sleeve 23 further rotates relative to the case body 10, the second sleeve 23 becomes the first sleeve. 21 , the first weakened connection part 22 is broken, the first sleeve 21 and the second sleeve 23 are separated, and the cylindrical body 31 is rotated relative to the inner plate member 33 . The second weakened connection part 32 is broken by relative rotation about the axis O, and the cylindrical body 31 and the inner plate member 33 are separated.

After the first sleeve 21 and the second sleeve 23 are separated and the cylindrical body 31 and the inner plate member 33 are separated, when the rotation operation is further performed, the first convex portion 23a provided on the second sleeve 23 enters the second vertical groove 21c provided in the first sleeve 21 and engages with the second helical groove 16, and the first convex portion 23a forms a second helical groove whose helical direction is opposite to that of the first helical groove 15. By moving along the groove 16, the second sleeve 23 and the cylindrical body 31 integrated therewith move toward the inside of the case body 10. At this time, the lower end of the first sleeve 21 comes into contact with the bottom wall 12 of the case body 10, so that relative movement downward with respect to the case body 10 is restricted, and the second protrusion 33c of the inner plate member 33 is in contact with the bottom wall 12 of the case body 10. 21 is locked in the locking groove 21b provided in the case body 10, so that relative movement downward with respect to the case body 10 is restricted, so that only the second sleeve 23 and the cylindrical body 31 are directed toward the inside of the case body 10. and move.

As shown in FIG. 5, when the second sleeve 23 and the cylindrical body 31 move toward the inside of the case body 10, the contents 2 are further drawn out from the upper end of the second sleeve 23. At this time, the cylindrical body 31 also moves downward relative to the inner plate member 33 held in the case body 10 together with the second sleeve 23, so that the lower end of the contents 2 that had been placed inside the cylindrical body 31 As the cylindrical body 31 moves toward the inside of the case body 10, the side portion is gradually drawn out from the upper end of the second sleeve 23. Therefore, the lower end portion of the contents 2 placed inside the cylindrical body 31 can also be extended out from the upper end of the second sleeve 23 and used, thereby reducing the remaining amount of the contents 2. Can be done.

Further, until the feeding member 30 reaches the stroke end with respect to the case body 10, the contents 2 are fed out from the upper end of the second sleeve 23 without changing the amount of protrusion of the second sleeve 23 with respect to the case body 10, and the feeding member 30 reaches the stroke end with respect to the case body 10 and the remaining amount of the contents 2 becomes small, the second sleeve 23 and the cylindrical body 31 move toward the inside of the case body 10, so that the second sleeve 23 and the cylindrical body 31 move toward the inside of the case body 10. When the sleeve 23 moves downward relative to the contents 2 and the contents 2 are paid out from the upper end of the second sleeve 23, the feeling of use changes after the remaining amount of the contents 2 becomes small. Therefore, the user can easily recognize that the remaining amount of the contents 2 has decreased.

As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 as modified examples, the dispensing container 1 is designed to prevent unexpected damage even when the rotation operation of the second sleeve 23 with respect to the case body 10 is continuously performed in order to dispense the contents 2. It is also possible to adopt a configuration including a regulating member 40 for preventing the first weakened connecting portion 22 and the second weakened connecting portion 32 from being broken.

Note that the feeding container 1 of the modified example is basically the same except that the regulating member 40 is provided and the first spiral groove 15 is integrally provided on the inner peripheral surface of the peripheral wall 11 of the case body 10. The structure is similar to that of the dispensing container 1 shown in FIG.

The regulating member 40 has a regulating position that regulates the relative rotation of the second sleeve 23 with respect to the first sleeve 21 about the axis O, and a regulation position that regulates the relative rotation of the second sleeve 23 with respect to the first sleeve 21 about the axis O. It has a structure that allows it to be moved to a restriction release position. In the initial state, the regulating member 40 is in the regulating position, and even if the second sleeve 23 is continuously rotated relative to the case body 10, the regulating member 40 prevents the axis O of the second sleeve 23 relative to the first sleeve 21. Since the relative rotation around the center is restricted, the first weakened connection part 22 is prevented from being broken. Furthermore, by restricting the relative rotation of the second sleeve 23 with respect to the first sleeve 21 around the axis O by the regulating member 40, the relative rotation of the inner plate member 33 with respect to the cylindrical body 31 around the axis O is also restricted. Since this is regulated, the second weakened connection portion 32 is also prevented from being broken. The user moves the restriction member 40 from the restriction position to the restriction release position as necessary, and by the rotational operation as described above, breaks the first weakened connection part 22 and the second weakened connection part 32, The remaining contents 2 can be dispensed.

As shown in FIG. 8, the regulating member 40 has a cylindrical operating body 41. As shown in FIG. The operating body 41 is attached to the feeding opening 13 inside the cap body 14 so as to be movable along the direction of the axis O between a restriction position and a restriction release position. A pair of circumferential grooves 41a and 41b are provided on the outer peripheral surface of the operating body 41, spaced apart in the direction of the axis O. The operating body 41 is held at the regulation position by the annular protrusion 14b provided on the inner peripheral surface of the cap body 14 engaging with the circumferential groove 41a, and is pulled upward from the regulation position so that the protrusion 14b By engaging with the circumferential groove 41b, it is held at the restriction release position.

More specifically, a pair of first restricting portions 42 corresponding to the pair of first convex portions 23a are integrally provided at the lower end of the operating body 41. The first restricting portion 42 engages with the corresponding first convex portion 23a to prevent the second sleeve 23 from rotating relative to the operating body 41 when the restricting member 40 is in the restricting position. In the present embodiment, the first regulating portion 42 is configured to include a downwardly opening groove with a groove width corresponding to the outer diameter of the first convex portion 23a, and as shown in FIG. It engages with the convex portion 23a from above to prevent the second sleeve 23 from rotating relative to the operating body 41. On the other hand, when the operating body 41 moves to the restriction release position, the engagement between the first restriction part 42 and the first convex part 23a is released.

Further, a pair of second regulating portions 43 corresponding to the pair of second vertical grooves 21c are integrally provided at the lower end of the operating body 41. The second restricting portion 43 engages with the corresponding second longitudinal groove 21c to prevent the first sleeve 21 from rotating relative to the operating body 41 when the restricting member 40 is in the restricting position. In this embodiment, the second regulating portion 43 is configured as a plate piece with a downward opening and a width corresponding to the groove width of the second vertical groove 21c, and as shown in FIGS. When the member 40 is in the restriction position, it engages with the second longitudinal groove 21c from above to prevent the first sleeve 21 from rotating relative to the operating body 41. On the other hand, when the operating body 41 is pulled upward and the regulation member 40 moves to the regulation release position, the engagement between the second regulation part 43 and the second longitudinal groove 21c is released, as shown in FIG. 9(b). .

In this way, when the regulating member 40 is in the regulating position, the first regulating part 42 engages with the first convex part 23a, the second sleeve 23 is prevented from rotating relative to the operating body 41, and the second regulating part 43 is engaged with the second vertical groove 21c and the first sleeve 21 is prevented from rotating relative to the operating body 41, so that the first sleeve 21 and the second sleeve 23 are prevented from rotating relative to each other via the operating body 41. This prevents the first weakened connection part 22 and the second weakened connection part 32 from being broken due to the rotational operation.

As shown as a modified example in FIG. 10, the regulating member 40 is provided with a screw 41c on the outer peripheral surface of the operating body 41, and the screw 41c is screwed to the inner peripheral surface of the case body 10, so that the regulating member 40 can be moved between the regulating position and the regulating release position. It is also possible to adopt a configuration in which the holder is mounted so as to be movable in a spiral manner in the direction of the axis O between the holder and the holder.

Also in this case, when the regulating member 40 is in the regulating position, the first regulating part 42 engages with the first convex part 23a, and the second sleeve 23 is prevented from rotating relative to the operating body 41, and as shown in FIG. As shown in (a), the second restricting portion 43 engages with the second longitudinal groove 21c, and the first sleeve 21 is prevented from rotating with respect to the operating body 41, and the second sleeve 23 is rotated with respect to the case body 10. This prevents the first weakened connection portion 22 and the second weakened connection portion 32 from being broken.

Further, by rotating the operating body 41 with respect to the case body 10, as shown in FIG. The engagement of the first convex portion 23a and the engagement of the first restriction portion 42 and the first convex portion 23a are released, and the first weakened connection portion 22 and the second weakened connection portion are rotated by rotating the second sleeve 23 with respect to the case body 10. 32 can be switched to a breakable state.

The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and can be modified in various ways without departing from the gist thereof.
