Furthermore, even if the container body 1 is accidentally tipped over while in use with the small cap 10 removed, the inner stopper 3, sponge body 6, and outer lid 8 are attached to the mouth 2 of the container body 1, so that the contents can be protected. Prevent liquid from flowing out.

〔Example〕

The present invention will be explained based on the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 4. The container main body 1 is a container with a wide opening 2 and a slightly enlarged lower part. A cleaning agent or a polishing agent, in this example, contains an acidic cleaning liquid with a pH of 1.5 to 2.0, and the mouth part 2 has a cylindrical shape that protrudes from the mouth edge into the inside of the container body 1. An inner plug 3 having a bottom portion 4 slightly protruding from the periphery of the side end toward the center in the radial direction is attached. On the inner surface of the bottom 4 of the inner stopper 3, needle-like protrusions 5 facing toward the mouth are provided at appropriate intervals. In this embodiment, the diameter of the inner stopper 3 is
45 mm, the width of the bottom part 4 is 5 mm, and 12 protrusions 5 are formed with a height of 3 mm. Reference numeral 6 denotes a cylindrical sponge body housed in the inner stopper 3, which has an insertion hole 7 extending in the axial direction near the center thereof. In this embodiment, the insertion hole 7 is formed as a slit with a cross-shaped cut line, but depending on the type of jewelry, tableware, etc., the insertion hole 7 may be formed with one straight line, a combination of three straight lines, or a combination of three straight lines, for example. Further, depending on the shape of the object to be cleaned, the shape may be a Y-shape or the like, and it is sufficient to set the shape to match the shape of the object to be cleaned. Reference numeral 8 denotes an outer lid that covers the opening 2 of the container body 1 together with the inner plug 3, and the outer end of the inner plug 3 is fitted into an annular fitting groove 8a formed on the inner surface of the top.
When the outer cover 8 is removed, the inner stopper 3 is also removed together with the outer cover 8, and the object to be cleaned is inserted into the top surface of the outer cover 8 above the insertion hole 7 of the sponge body 6 housed in the inner stopper 3. A small cap 10 that can close the opening 9 is formed integrally with a part of the outer end of the upper surface of the outer lid 8 and is attached thereto. This small cap 10 is conveniently manufactured by integrally molding it with the outer lid 8 from synthetic resin and will not lose powder during use, but it can also be formed separately. The inner surface of the small cap 10 is integrally provided with a downwardly projecting pressing portion 11 having a ring-shaped cross section and capable of pressing the sponge body 6 when the opening 9 is closed. Also, a fitting groove 8 on the inner surface of the top of the outer cover 8 is provided.
A protrusion 12 similar to the protrusion 5 provided on the bottom 4 of the inner stopper 3 is formed between the a and the opening 9 so as to face the protrusion 5. The sponge body 6 is the inner stopper 3
The object to be cleaned is supported in the vertical direction by the bottom part 4 and the outer lid 8, and also prevents the object from coming out of the inner stopper 3 due to the frictional resistance when the object is inserted into the insertion hole 7 by the protrusions 5 and 12. thwarted.

In addition, it is preferable to mold the above-mentioned components with synthetic resin except for the sponge body 6 in terms of cost and the like.

In the container for washing and cleaning precious metal jewelry and Western tableware of this embodiment, when pouring acidic cleaning liquid into the container body 1, the opening 2 can be removed by simply removing the outer lid 8.
can be opened. That is, the inner plug 3 is fitted into the fitting groove 8a on the inner surface of the outer lid 8, and the opening 9 is closed with a small cap 10 integrally molded with the outer lid 8, so that liquid etc. When injecting water or cleaning the inside of the container body 1, it is sufficient to simply remove the outer lid 8. After injecting the cleaning liquid, the outer lid 8 is fitted back into the mouth 2 of the container body 1. This state is when not in use and when washing or cleaning accessories, tableware, etc.
First, open the small cap 10 of the outer lid 8. An insertion hole 7 for the sponge body 6 is arranged below the opening 9 of the outer lid 8 when the small cap 10 is opened, so that the object to be cleaned can be inserted into the slit of the insertion hole 7 and soaked in the containing agent. When the storage medium is the acidic cleaning liquid, the object to be cleaned is pulled up after about 10 to 30 seconds. Since the object to be cleaned inserted into the sponge body 6 is held between the insertion holes 7, both sides of the object are polished at once, and the object to be cleaned inserted into the container body 1 is cleaned by the liquid inside the container body 1. Since the sponge body 6 is soaked in water and then pulled up, the adhered liquid impregnates the sponge body 6 and is polished by the liquid, making it possible to remove dirt such as dirt from hands and proteins that are difficult to remove. In addition to the washing/cleaning effect, the cleaning effect is also produced by the friction of the insertion hole 7 of the sponge body 6. At this time, the liquid adhering to the object to be cleaned is wiped off by the sponge body 6, and no excess liquid comes out of the container body 1. Therefore,
When cleaning precious metals, tableware, etc., when the small cap 10 is opened without removing the outer lid 8, the insertion hole 7 for the sponge body 6 is exposed, so cleaning can be carried out simply by inserting the object to be cleaned into the insertion hole 7. It is easy to use, efficient, and safe to use without touching the liquid.

When the liquid in the container body 1 is to be impregnated into the sponge body 6 in advance, the container body 1 is inverted in advance to impregnate the sponge body 6 with the liquid, and then the object to be cleaned is inserted into the sponge body 6. Insert into hole 7. At this time, since washing and cleaning can be performed after the sponge body 6 is sufficiently impregnated with liquid, the effect of the liquid can also be exerted on the sponge body 6.
Even in this case, the liquid does not come into contact with hands and can be used safely.

Even when the container body 1 is accidentally overturned,
The slit of the insertion hole 7 is only pushed open when the object to be cleaned is inserted, and remains closed except during cleaning, so that no liquid leaks out, resulting in high safety.

In addition, since the slit of the insertion hole 7 is formed in a cross shape, it is suitable for objects to be cleaned that have a flat plate shape such as knives, and it can be expanded enough in the vertical and horizontal directions to insert objects to be cleaned, even for somewhat large objects. Washing and cleaning can be carried out without causing any hindrance.

The shape of the insertion hole 7 is not limited to a cross shape. For example, if the shape of the object to be cleaned is small such as precious metal, it is recommended to form the slit of the insertion hole 7 in a single straight line so that the interval can be reduced. Cleaning, etc. can be performed without spreading the water more than necessary, and it is sufficient to set it arbitrarily.

A protrusion 5 and a protrusion 12 that penetrate into the sponge body 6 are provided on the bottom 4 of the inner stopper 3 and the inner surface of the top of the outer lid 8.
are provided, so even if the object to be cleaned is inserted or removed, the movement resistance of the object causes the sponge body 6 to
Each protrusion 5, 12 has the effect of reliably holding the sponge body 6 without moving from the inner stopper 3 into the container body 1 or outside the outer lid 8 and falling off.

In addition, when cleaning a part of precious metals, tableware, etc., or when cleaning a large item that cannot be inserted into the container body 1, the outer lid 8 should be attached to the container body with the small cap 10 of the outer lid 8 closed. If you remove it from the inner stopper 3, you can remove the sponge body 6 as well as the inner stopper 3.
In this state, the inner stopper 3 will not come off from the outer lid 8 with normal force, and since the sponge body 6 protrudes from the bottom 4 of the inner stopper 3, this protruding part cannot be brought into direct contact with the object to be cleaned. Able to wash and clean.

As for the cleaning liquid contained in the container body 1, a commonly used acidic cleaning liquid, such as a cleaning liquid using an inorganic acid or a cleaning liquid using an organic acid, is used as in the conventional case. In particular, from the standpoint of cleaning solution safety, malic acid, citric acid, fumaric acid, etc.
It can be said that it is preferable to use an acidic cleaning liquid adjusted to about 1.5 to 2.0 in which perfume is dispersed with a dispersant.

FIG. 5 shows another embodiment of the sponge body 6, in which when the sponge body 6 is stored in the inner stopper 3, the small cap 10 is closed and the pressing part 11
This shows a configuration in which the end of the cylindrical sponge body 6 is convex so that a part of the sponge body 6 protrudes from the bottom 4 of the inner stopper 3 without causing the sponge body 6 to protrude. be. According to this sponge body 6, as described above, even when removing the outer lid 8 together with the sponge body 6 to partially wash precious metals, tableware, etc., there is no need to press it with the pressing part 11 of the small cap 10. , the protrusion of the sponge body 6 enables cleaning. Therefore, in this case, it is unnecessary to provide the pressing portion 11 on the small cap 10.

FIG. 6 shows another embodiment in which a sponge body 6 is supported within the inner stopper 3. In the sponge body 6 supported by the inner stopper 3, a flange 6a is provided on the outer periphery of the inner side of the container body 1. The flange 6a and the insertion end periphery 3a of the side wall of the inner plug 3 are bonded together using ultrasonic waves or the like, so that the inner plug 3 and the sponge body 6 are integrally formed. The insertion side end surface of the sponge body 6 has a convex shape so as to be located inside the container body 1 from the flange 6a, and since the inner stopper 3 is fitted into the outer cover 8, the outer cover 8 can be removed for use. This makes it possible to wash without any trouble when cleaning. Since the sponge body 6 having this structure is formed integrally with the inner plug 3, it will not slip out from the inner plug 3, and there is no need to provide the bottom portion 4 and the protrusions 5, 12.
