Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] "Industrial application field" This proposal relates to liquid detergent storage containers.

``Prior Art'' A cap is fitted to the mouth and neck of a container, and when the liquid detergent in the container is put into a washing machine or the like, the cap is attached and removed using an attached measuring cup.

``Problem to be solved by the invention'' In the conventional liquid detergent storage container mentioned above, the opening formed by the upper end of the mouth and neck is opened as is, so a common drawback of containers with this type of structure is that the liquid cannot be poured out. Due to the angle of inclination of the container body, the replacement of the liquid inside the container with the outside air may be incomplete, resulting in intermittent dispensing, and the droplets generated at this time may contaminate the surrounding area. Furthermore, when washing clothes, for example, it is often the case that the collars, cuffs, etc. that are heavily soiled are partially washed in advance, and then the whole thing is washed again. Since the container is designed to be dispensed, it is difficult to tilt the container and apply a small amount of detergent only to the areas to be washed.Therefore, soap, etc., is prepared separately and applied to the dirty areas. ing.

The present invention eliminates the above-mentioned drawbacks and makes it possible to easily pour out the liquid detergent inside the container and replace it with outside air when dispensing a large amount into the washing machine, etc., making it easy to pour out the liquid detergent and replacing it with outside air. It is designed so that the same container body can be used to apply a small amount at the time of application.

"Means for Solving the Problems" A container body 1 with a mouth and neck part 6 erected, a holding cylinder 2 fitted to the inner surface of the mouth and neck part of the container body, and a peripheral wall 15 that is movable up and down to the inner surface of the holding cylinder. At the same time, a plurality of small-diameter through-holes 12 are bored in the top wall 13 that closes the upper end surface of the peripheral wall, and a sponge-like coating body 18 is applied to the upper surface of the top wall by closing the upper surface of the small-diameter through-holes. It consists of a fixed applicator plug 3, and the peripheral wall 15 of the applicator plug opens above the retainer cylinder when the applicator plug is pulled up with respect to the retainer cylinder 2, and is sealed by the inner surface of the retainer cylinder when pushed down. A plurality of spout holes 16 or kerfs 16' are provided in the circumferential direction.

``Operation'' From the state shown in Fig. 1a, remove the measuring cup 5 and cap 4 as shown in Fig. 2a, then hold the outer surface of the presser ring 17 and pull out the applicator stopper 3 upwards.
6 is unsealed, and then the liquid detergent is poured out from the spouting hole 16 while facing downward as shown in FIG. 2b. When dispensing, the amount may be measured using a measuring cup 5. Also, when washing parts of clothing such as collars and cuffs, use the applicator plug 3.
into the holding cylinder 2 as shown in Figure 1, and open each spout hole 1.
6 is sealed, and in this state it is turned downward to open the small diameter through hole 12.
The application body 18 is impregnated with detergent and used.

"Example" In the first example shown in Figures 1a and b and Figures 2a and b, 1 is a container body containing liquid detergent;
Reference numeral 2 denotes a holding cylinder fixed to the mouth of the container body 1, 3 a coating stopper held in the holding cylinder 2 so as to be able to slide upwards when pulled out, 4 a cap, and 5 fitted to the outer surface of the cap 4. This is an integrated measuring cup, and each part is molded and manufactured from synthetic resin material.

The container body 1 has a thread 7 formed on the outer periphery of the mouth and neck part 6. If the container body 1 is large, it is preferable that the container body 1 is provided with a handle.

The holding cylinder 2 has a flange 9 extending outward from the middle part of the outer surface of a holding guide cylinder part 8 having a smaller diameter and located concentrically with the mouth and neck part 6, and has a flange 9 extending outward from the upper surface of the flange 9 to prevent liquid from dripping. It has a shape in which a peripheral wall 10 is erected and a vertical ring 11 is suspended from the lower surface. It is firmly fitted inside and attached to the opening of the container body. Incidentally, the upper part of the holding guide cylinder part 8 is widened in a tapered shape.

The applicator plug 3 has a peripheral wall 15 with a stepped outer surface and a thick wall extending from the lower peripheral edge of the top wall 13 having a plurality of small-diameter through-holes 12 removed from the peripheral edge 14,
Rectangular spout holes 16, 16... are bored at a plurality of locations in the circumferential direction of the intermediate portion of this peripheral wall 15, and a presser ring having a hook-shaped cross section is engaged and fixed to the peripheral end 14 by an engaging groove on the inner periphery. A coating stopper 18 made of sponge is attached to the upper surface of the top wall 13 by 17, and is fitted into the holding guide tube portion 8 of the holding cylinder 2 through the peripheral wall 15 so as to be slidable upward by a pull-out operation. 1
Reference numeral 9 denotes a locking protrusion that prevents the drawer from being pulled out during the drawer operation.

Reference numeral 4 denotes a cap to be fitted as necessary, and its circumferential wall 20 has a three-step stepped outer shape whose diameter gradually decreases on the upper side, corresponding to the outer shape of the mouth of the container body into which the applicator stopper 3 is attached, and a large-diameter lower step. The thread 7 is on the inner periphery of the part.
A threaded groove is formed to be screwed into the top wall 21, and an engaging protrusion 22 is provided on the periphery of the top wall 21. Further, there is a downward protrusion 23 on the lower surface of the lower stage, and when the cap 4 is properly attached, this downward protrusion 23 comes into pressure contact with the upper surface of the flange 9, thereby sealing off liquid leakage from the mouth.

A measuring cup 5 may be fitted onto the outer surface of the cap. The measuring cup 5 has a bottomed cylindrical shape and is fitted onto the outer surface of the cap 4 in an inverted state as shown in FIG. 1a. As shown in the illustrated example, the center portion of the bottom wall of the measuring cup is recessed, and the small-diameter upper portion of the cap 4, which has a three-step external shape, is fitted into the recessed portion 24 as shown in FIG. 1B. Alternatively, the measuring cup 5 may be provided so as to be attachable to the cap 4 in an upright position. Furthermore, an engaging protrusion 2 is provided on the upper end of the inner surface of the circumferential wall of the measuring cup to engage with the lower end surface of the cap circumferential wall 20.
6, and an engaging groove 25 which engages with the engaging protrusion 22 of the cap 4 may be formed on the inner surface of the side wall of the recessed portion 24 to prevent the measuring cup from being pulled out.

In the second embodiment shown in FIGS. 3a and 3b, the applicator plug 3 has a drawer structure that can be rotated, and therefore the holding guide cylinder part 8 of the holding cylinder 2 has a double cylinder shape with a U-shaped cross section. and a spiral groove is formed on the inner circumferential surface of the outer cylinder,
On the other hand, a thread 27 is formed on the outer circumferential surface of the peripheral wall 15 of the applicator plug 3 and is screwed into the holding member 2 by forming a thread 27 that engages with the threaded groove. 16', and the applicator stopper 3 is prevented from coming off by a locking protrusion 28 on the inner periphery of the lower part of the peripheral wall 15 and a locking protrusion 29 on the outer periphery of the upper end of the inner cylinder 8' of the holding guide cylinder. I'm going there. Note that the holding tube 2 is fixed by having a hooking portion 30 hooked to the upper end of the mouth and neck portion 6, and an engagement protrusion 31 being engaged with an engagement protrusion 32.

"Effect of the invention" The present invention has the above-mentioned configuration, in which the small diameter through hole 12 bored in the top wall 13 of the applicator plug 3 is closed with the sponge-like applicator 18, and the spout hole 16 or When the applicator stopper 3 is pushed into the holding cylinder 2 which is fitted into the inner surface of the neck of the container body with the cut groove 16', the spout hole 16 etc. are sealed and the holding cylinder is closed. When the applicator stopper 3 is pulled out from the holder 2, the spout hole etc. are opened upwards in the holding cylinder.
It is easy to pour out a large amount from the opening, and since a plurality of pouring holes etc. are provided in the circumferential direction of the applicator stopper peripheral wall 15, when the container body is tilted to pour out liquid detergent, the lower surface of the peripheral wall Liquid detergent is poured out from the opening on the side, and outside air enters the container through the opening on the top side of the peripheral wall, which makes it easy to replace the liquid detergent with outside air and to perform the pouring smoothly. Unlike the conventional method, droplets generated by intermittent dispensing do not contaminate the surrounding area. Furthermore, since the pouring hole etc. are sealed by pressing down the applicator stopper, if the container body is tilted in this state, the liquid detergent will be absorbed into the applicator body 18 through the small-diameter through hole 12 in the top wall of the applicator stopper. Therefore, the detergent can be applied to dirty areas such as the collar using the applicator plug. Therefore, there is no inconvenience of having to provide soap as in the past. Further, the number of the small-diameter through holes 12 can be set to a sufficient number to supply the required amount of liquid detergent to the coating body 18, so that the detergent seeps into the coating body during the coating operation. Detergent application can be ensured without becoming insufficient.

Further, a plurality of spout holes 1 are provided in the circumferential direction of the applicator plug peripheral wall 15.
6 or pouring groove 16' is provided, liquid can be poured out even if the container body is tilted in any direction, and handling is therefore very convenient.
