Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] "Industrial Application Field" The present invention relates to a liquid dispensing container that pours out the liquid inside by squeezing the body of the container body.

``Problems to be solved by conventional techniques and ideas'' This type of container has a spout and neck that stands up from a body that can be compressed elastically, and a spout is bored in the center of the top wall that closes the opening on the upper end of the spout and neck. A container body consisting of a cap whose inner periphery is removably screwed onto the outer periphery of the mouth neck of the container body, or a container body whose mouth neck stands up from a body that can be elastically squeezed; The upper end surface of the mouth and neck is closed and fitted onto the upper end of the mouth and neck, and a projection for closing the spout hole is provided protruding from the central upper surface of the top wall, and a communication connecting the inside and outside of the container body is provided on the top wall around the projection. An inner cap provided with a hole, a top wall extending from the upper edge of the peripheral wall whose inner periphery is screwed to the outer periphery of the mouth neck of the container body in a manner that cannot be removed, and a spout hole is bored in the center of the top wall. There is a well-known container which is constructed such that by screwing the outer cap upward, the spout hole is unblocked and the liquid inside the container body is poured out from the spout hole through the communication hole. It is being

Among these dispensing containers, the former requires the cap to be rotated many times each time it is used;
It takes time to attach and detach, and there is a risk of losing the removed cap. Also, in the latter case, although there is no risk of losing the cap, it is troublesome to rotate the cap several times to raise and lower it each time it is used, and there is a risk of accidentally knocking over the container by leaving the cap in the raised position. There was also a risk that the liquid content might leak if the

The present invention was proposed in consideration of the above-mentioned circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a liquid dispensing container that allows dispensing of the liquid content with a single touch operation on a cap-shaped member.

"Means for solving the problem" A container body 1 having an elastically compressible body 2;
A guide cylinder member 4 having a first circumferential wall 6 fitted to the mouth and neck part 3 of the container body and a first circumferential wall 6 hanging from the lower surface of a horizontal cylinder 5 whose rear face is closed and whose front face is open, and a proximal cylinder part 10 inside the horizontal cylinder. are fitted so that they can move forward and backward, and the tip side cylinder part 1
The nozzle 9 with the nozzle 1 protruding forward from the horizontal cylinder, and the second circumferential wall 16 with the guide cylinder member and nozzle located inside and vertically disposed on the outer surface of the body of the container body from the periphery of the top wall 15 are moved up and down. It consists of an outer cap 14 that can be fitted freely, and the tips of engagement pins 12, 12 protruding from both left and right side surfaces of the nozzle are engaged with cam grooves 17, 17 bored in the inner surfaces of both left and right walls of the second peripheral wall. At the same time, as the outer cap moves up and down with respect to the container body, a nozzle protruding state in which the nozzle tip protrudes from the window hole 18 formed in the front wall of the second peripheral wall, and a nozzle storage state in which the nozzle tip is housed in the outer cap. A plurality of support pieces 7 are arranged in the horizontal cylinder so as to maintain the support pieces 7 alternately.
The present invention is characterized in that a plug 8 supported by... is provided so that the plug closes the base end of the nozzle hole 13 in a watertight manner when the nozzle is retracted to its rear limit.

"Operation" When the container is used, the outer cap 14 is pushed down by a predetermined stroke from the state shown in FIG.

As a result, the nozzle 9 moves forward within the horizontal cylinder 5 by the cam mechanism as described above, and its tip eventually reaches the window hole 18 of the outer cap 14 as shown in FIG.
The nozzle hole 13
The base end comes out of the stopper 8 in the horizontal cylinder 5.

As a result, the liquid content can be poured out from the nozzle hole 13 by squeezing the body of the container body 1.

After using the container, the outer cap is pulled up by a predetermined stroke from the state shown in FIG.

As a result, the nozzle 9 is now moved back inside the horizontal tube 5 by the cam mechanism, and its tip end is eventually accommodated in the outer cap as shown in FIG.
The nozzle hole 13 fits into the plug 8 in the horizontal cylinder 5 in a watertight manner.

As a result, it becomes impossible to pour out the content liquid to the outside regardless of whether the body of the container body 1 is squeezed.

``Example'' As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the liquid dispensing container according to the present invention includes a container body 1 having an elastically compressible trunk 2, and a neck portion 3 of the container body 1 having a rear surface. A guide cylinder member 4 in which a first circumferential wall 6 vertically installed from the lower surface of a horizontal cylinder 5 with a front opening in a closed state is fitted, and a proximal cylinder part 10 is fitted into the horizontal cylinder so as to be freely forward and backward. A nozzle 9 with a side cylinder part 11 protruding forward from the horizontal cylinder, and a second peripheral wall 16 with the guide cylinder member and nozzle located inside and hanging from the periphery of the top wall 15 on the outer surface of the body of the container body. It consists of an outer cap 14 which is fitted so as to be vertically movable.

Then, the tips of the engagement pins 12, 12 protruding from both left and right side surfaces of the nozzle are engaged with cam grooves 17, 17 bored in the inner surfaces of both the left and right walls of the second peripheral wall,
A nozzle tip is provided in such a way that the nozzle tip enters and exits through a window hole 18 formed in the front wall of the second peripheral wall by vertical movement of the outer cap with respect to the container body, and a stopper 8 supported by a plurality of supporting pieces 7 is provided in the horizontal cylinder. When the nozzle is retracted to its rear limit, the stopper is provided to close the base end of the nozzle hole 13 in a watertight manner.

In this embodiment, the outer cap 14 has a first engagement strip 19 attached to the inner edge of the lower end of its second peripheral wall, and a first engagement strip 19 attached to the upper outer surface of the container body body 2 in a manner corresponding to the length of the cam groove 17. Two-stage second and third engagement strips 20, 2
1, the nozzle protruding state, nozzle storage state, and nozzle storage state are maintained alternately.

Note that reference numeral 17a in FIG. 1 indicates a guide groove for the engaging pin 12 when the outer cap 14 is attached or detached. It goes without saying that by changing the direction of the cam groove 17, the nozzle 9 can be moved forward by pulling up the outer cap.

"Effect of the invention" As explained above, according to the invention, the liquid content can be poured out by simply raising and lowering the outer cap 14, and by pressing down (or pulling up) the outer cap once, Maintain the nozzle protruding state,
Pulling up (or pushing down) the outer cap after use
Since the nozzle can be stored in the nozzle state, it can be easily used with a single touch operation.

In addition, when pouring out the contents, the nozzle protrudes, so it is obvious that the liquid is ready to be poured.
There is no danger of forgetting to disable the contents after use.
