Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a container for storing viscous substances, particularly creams such as highly concentrated foundations, and other viscous cosmetics from which desired amounts can be dispensed.

Conventionally, containers with a cross-sectional shape have been used as containers for storing viscous substances such as cosmetic creams,
It is widely known that the main body is formed into a tube shape. In the former case, when the lid is removed, the viscous substance is widely exposed at the mouth of the main body, and the necessary amount is scooped out with the fingertips, so there is a concern that germs can easily enter and the cleanliness can be lost. The latter is easy to handle because the body is squeezed to push out the viscous material, but there is a risk that the viscous material at the mouth may overflow around the lid and stain the surrounding area. Furthermore, since the viscous substances in these containers are used after being applied to the fingertips, they are not suitable as containers for cosmetics that use cosmetic tools such as puffs and applicator brushes.

Therefore, prior to the filing of this application, a container for viscous substances was proposed in Utility Model Application No. 57-136908 (Rep. 1971-
40022).

The container for viscous substances according to this prior application includes a main body having a chamber for storing viscous substances having a uniform cross section perpendicular to the longitudinal direction and having a threaded rod built in in the longitudinal direction; a push-out piece that is screwed into the body and moved in the longitudinal direction; a handle wheel provided at the base end of the screw rod and partially exposed on the top surface of the body; The configuration includes a delivery path leading to a spout opened on the top surface, and a saucer portion surrounding the spout, and when the handle wheel is turned, the extrusion piece moves to eject the viscous material from the outlet. From there, the liquid is force-fed through a delivery path to a spout, and then poured into a saucer.

However, in this case, the spout is closed with a stopper that is separated from the container, which is inconvenient as the stopper must be attached and removed by hand each time it is used, and there is a risk of losing the stopper. There is a problem that if it is completely inserted, it will not be possible to completely seal the viscous material.

The present invention provides a container for viscous substances, which allows the spout to be opened and closed without using hands and to be completely sealed, and has a leg that has a stopper and a nozzle hole that communicates between the bottom surface and the side surface of the top end. A valve member having a leg piece is installed on the top surface of the spout by vertically movably fitting the leg piece into the delivery path, and a closing piece that presses down the valve member to close the spout covers the top surface of the main body. It is characterized by a structure that is provided on the back side of the lid.

The valve member is pushed up by the extrusion pressure of the viscous material until it hits the stopper on the bottom of the spout, causing the viscous material to be poured out from the nozzle hole into the saucer, and when the lid is closed, it is pushed down to block the spout. That's what I do.

Next, a specific example of the present invention will be explained based on the drawings.

The main body 1 consists of a bottom body 2 and a top plate 3, and is made into a flat rectangular cube.
These cooperate with the bottom wall 8 and the top plate 3 to form a chamber 9 for storing viscous substances. This chamber 9 has a uniform cross section perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, and has a depression 1 formed in the center of the front wall 4 and the rear wall 5.
Both ends of a screw rod 12 are fitted into the screw rods 11 and 11 to be rotatably supported, and a plate-shaped extruded piece 13 is screwed onto the screw rod 12 extending in the longitudinal direction of the chamber 9, so that the screw rod 12 is fitted into the chamber 9 almost tightly. A handle wheel 15 is fixed to the base end of a threaded rod 12 that is fitted into the rear wall 5 and protrudes from the rear wall 5 to the rear of the chamber 9. The handle wheel 15 is inserted into the gap 16 between the rear wall 5 and the peripheral wall 7, and is inserted into the window hole 17 of the upper plate 3.
A part of the top plate 3 protrudes upward and is exposed.
By rotating the handle wheel 15 with your fingertips in the direction of the arrow 18 shown in FIG.
It can be moved towards the tip of the body without rotating.

An outlet 19 is provided at the lower part of the front wall 4, and the inside of a cylindrical plug member 22 is fitted and fixed into a guide tube 20 formed between the front wall 4 and the circumferential wall 7 and a guide hole 21 of the upper plate 3. A flat plate-shaped collar piece 24 provided at the upper end of the plug member 22 is stacked on the upper plate 3 to communicate a delivery path 23 formed in the plug member 22 with the outlet 19 .
The upper surface of this collar piece 24 is a shielding wall 2 that rises low on three sides.
A saucer portion 26 surrounded by 5 is formed. The spout 27 at the upper end of the delivery passage 23 is open to the saucer portion 26, and is a disc-shaped valve member equipped with a leg piece 29 having a retainer 30 and a nozzle hole 31 that communicates the lower surface with the side surface of the upper end. 28 is installed on the upper surface of the spout 27 with a leg piece 29 fitted in the delivery path 23 so as to be movable up and down.

When the extrusion piece 13 is moved toward the tip of the chamber 9, the viscous material contained in the chamber 9 enters the delivery path 23 perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the chamber 9 through the outlet 19, and is discharged by the extrusion pressure. Push up the valve member 28 until the retainer 30 hits the lower surface of the spout 27, thereby opening the nozzle hole 31 above the saucer portion 26.
Through this process, the viscous material is extruded and dispensed into the saucer portion 26 (see FIG. 4).

A lid 32 that covers the entire upper surface of the main body 1 is connected to one side edge of the bottom body 2 of the main body 1 by a hinge connection, and a valve member 28 is pushed down on the back surface of this lid 32 to close the spout 27. A closing piece 33 is formed to protrude and a mirror 34 is provided. Further, a filling hole 35 for injecting and filling the chamber 9 with a viscous substance is provided in the bottom wall 8 of the main body 1, and a sealing plug 36 is press-fitted to close the hole 35.

In a container having such a structure, first, the screw rod 12 with the extrusion piece 13 threaded thereon is fitted into the bottom body 2 to rotatably support it, and then the top plate 3 is stacked on the bottom body 2 and bonded or welded. 〓The plug member 22 with the valve member 28 attached thereto is press-fitted into the guide hole 21 and the guide tube 22, and the flange piece 24 is stacked on the upper plate 3, and then the lid 32 is assembled.
can be assembled by attaching. Further, when the assembly is completed or before the lid 32 is attached, a viscous substance is injected and filled into the chamber 9 through the filling hole 35, and the extrusion piece 13 is retracted to a position where it almost touches the rear wall 4.

As mentioned above, when the viscous substance is extruded and poured out into the saucer part 26 through the nozzle hole, it is used by wiping off the viscous substance from the saucer part 26 with a puff, applicator brush, or other appropriate cosmetic tool. Turn the handle 15 again to pour out the viscous substance. When the lid 32 is closed, the closing piece 33 hits the valve member 28 and is pushed down to close the spout 27.

Note that the chamber 9 is not limited to a rectangular shape, but may be oval or circular, but when it is circular, it is necessary to prevent the extrusion piece 13 from rotating.

As described above, according to the present invention, the extrusion piece that is fitted almost tightly into the chamber can be moved by a simple operation of rotating the handle wheel with a part exposed on the top surface of the main body, and the extrusion piece can be extruded from the spout. Since it is made to come out, it is possible to easily and completely take out the viscous material in an amount that corresponds to the number of rotations of the steering wheel. In addition, the pouring spout opens on the top surface of the main body and a saucer is formed around it, so you can not only visually check the amount poured out while rotating the handle wheel and take out the required amount accurately, but also use the appropriate dispensing tool. Since the viscous substance can be spread on the tray and wiped off, it can be used without getting it on the fingertips, making it suitable for cosmetic containers that use cosmetic tools such as puffs and applicator brushes. Furthermore,
The handle wheel and saucer portion are covered by the lid, and the spout is closed by a closing piece on the back of the lid, so there is no problem of the handle wheel rotating and pushing out the viscous material when not in use. Furthermore, even if the viscous material overflows from the spout or remains in the saucer, it is covered by the lid, so there is no need to worry about staining the surrounding area. In particular, in the present invention, a valve member equipped with a leg piece having a stopper and a nozzle hole is disposed above the spout, and this valve member is pushed up by the extrusion pressure of the viscous material to push the viscous material from the nozzle hole into the receiving tray. When the lid is poured out and the lid is closed, the closing piece is pressed down to close the spout, and the opening on the side of the tip of the nozzle hole also descends below the spout and is closed, so it can be handled by hand. Not only is it extremely convenient to use as it can be opened and closed without any problems, but since the valve member is assembled into the main body, there is no need to worry about losing it, and the viscous materials in the room are completely sealed, allowing it to be handled and stored without worrying about contamination with germs or deterioration. It is something.
