Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] "Industrial application field" The present invention relates to a liquid application container.

"Conventional technology" As a conventional application container,
As proposed in the publication, a nozzle is screwed onto the open end of a container, a cap is removably screwed onto the neck of the nozzle, and the nozzle opening is brought into close contact with the bottom of the cap via packing. By standing the container upright or upside down in the container containing the nozzle, the brush of the brush body is moved in and out of the nozzle opening by the weight of the brush body and the spherical plumb located at the rear of the brush body, and the liquid is stirred. There is a coating container which includes the brush body and a spherical weight inside.

``Problems to be Solved by the Invention'' The above-mentioned coating container is a convenient coating container that can be easily used with one hand by removing the cap and tilting it. However, this coating container has the following problems.

In other words, if the applicator container falls over with its cap removed, the brush body will protrude slightly from the nozzle opening, and as a result, the stepped part of the handle connected to the brush body will be slightly protruded from the bottom end of the nozzle. Otherwise, the hole may open and the liquid inside the container may spill out. In addition, when applying the liquid with the container inverted, it does not have a valve for liquid supply, so the liquid in the container is constantly supplied to the brush body, which tends to cause oversupply. It has the disadvantage that the amount cannot be adjusted. Furthermore, even if the cap is screwed on after application, there is a risk that liquid may drip from the brush body into the cap and leak out of the cap, resulting in staining the surrounding area or causing discomfort. be.

The present invention solves the problems of the prior art as described above, and has a valve mechanism that prevents the liquid inside the container from leaking even if the container falls over with the cap removed.
Another object of this invention is to provide a coating container having a cap equipped with an absorbent material to prevent liquid from leaking out of the cap even if liquid drips into the cap from the spike after coating.

"Means for Solving the Problems" The liquid application container of the present invention includes a container body 1 having an open upper end face of a body part 11, and a base part 2 screwed onto the outer surface of the upper end part of the container body to form an upper end part 23. an ear tube 2 that stands up upward; an ear 3 that protrudes upward by fitting the lower end into the upper end 23 of the ear tube; and an ear tube 2 that is fitted inside the container body 1 and the ear tube 2 and a liquid supply valve mechanism 4 for supplying the liquid inside the container into the lower end of the ear 3;
The liquid supply valve mechanism 4 includes a cap 5 in which the lower part of the peripheral wall is removably fitted to the outer surface of the ear tube 2 by loosely inserting the cap 5 into the container. A cage 46 vertically disposed inside the body, a ball 47 fitted into the cage so as to be movable up and down and having an outer diameter that is approximately the same as the inner diameter of the cage, and a base tube 41 fitted into the ear tube. A valve stem is suspended from a valve body 441 that is loosely inserted into the cylindrical hole of the base cylinder and closes the valve hole formed by the upper end of the cylindrical hole, and the lower end of the valve stem is positioned above the central axis line of the cage 46. A valve member 44 is formed on a knock rod 43, and the valve member 44 is formed so that the ball 47 knocks the lower end of the knock rod, thereby pushing up the valve body 441 against the urging force and opening the valve hole. Further, in the cap 5, an interior wall 52 is fixed to the inside upper part of the cap body 51 with the peripheral wall hanging down from the periphery of the top wall, and a plurality of through holes 521 are bored in the interior wall, and the outer surface of the interior wall and the cap are connected to each other. The gist is that a water-absorbing material 53 is filled between the upper inner surface of the main body and the inner surface of the upper part of the main body.

"Function" The present invention has the above-mentioned structure and is used by storing a liquid in the container body 1. When in use, the cap 5 is removed and the container body 1 is turned upside down.

A valve stem is loosely inserted into the base cylinder, the lower end of which is connected to the knock rod 43, a valve body 441 is formed at the upper end of the valve stem, and the valve element 441 is removably fitted into the upper end of the valve cylinder 42. A spring 45 is installed inside the base cylinder to urge the knock rod 43 of the valve member 44 downward (in the valve closing direction).

Furthermore, the liquid supply valve mechanism 4 has an elongated cage 46 fitted at its upper end 461 on the outside of the lower half of the base cylinder 41 and suspended into the container body 1, and presses the knock rod 43 into the cage. Ball 47 with approximately the same outer diameter as the inner diameter of the basket
The upper end 461 of the basket is provided with a small outward flange 462 which fits inside the mouth 11 of the container body 1. The lower part of the knock rod 43 is located above the central axis of the basket 46.

The cap 5 has a lower part of the cap body 51 removably fitted to the outer circumference of the middle part 41 of the ear tube 2, and a small cap-shaped interior member 52 is disposed in the upper half of the interior of the cap body 51, and the interior member includes: The lower end portion 522 is bulged outward and fitted and fixed to the cap body 51,
In addition, a plurality of through holes 521 are bored at appropriate locations, and a water-absorbing material 53 such as absorbent cotton is filled between the cap body 51 and the interior portion 52.

"Effect of the invention" As explained above, the liquid application container of the present application has the liquid supply valve mechanism 4, and this valve mechanism 4 has the following functions:
A basket 46 whose upper end 461 is fitted onto the inner surface of the mouth of the container body and vertically disposed inside the container body, and a ball 47 having an outer diameter that is approximately the same as the inner diameter of the basket and which is fitted into the basket so as to be able to move up and down.
Then, a valve stem is suspended from a base cylinder 41 fitted into the ear cylinder, and a valve body 441 that is loosely inserted into a cylinder hole of the base cylinder and closes a valve hole formed by the upper end of the cylinder hole. The lower end of the valve stem is formed into a knock rod 43 located above the central axis of the cage 46, and the lower end of the knock rod is connected to the ball 4.
When the center of the upper surface of the valve member 7 is knocked, the valve body 441 is pushed up against the urging force, and the valve member 44 is formed to be able to open the valve hole.

Therefore, in order to remove the cap 5 and apply the liquid in the container, the container body 1 is turned upside down and shaken up and down, and the liquid supply valve mechanism 4 has the basket 46.
The ball 47 moves up and down inside the container body 1, stirring the liquid inside the container body 1, and the knock rod 43 is thrust into the center of the upper surface of the ball against the spring 45, causing the valve member 44 to rise and open the valve. The body 441 is the valve cylinder 42
The valve opens each time the liquid flows out of the container, and a sufficient amount of liquid for coating is instantaneously supplied to the ears 3.

That is, in the present application, since the liquid supply valve mechanism 4 as described above is provided, even if the container is knocked down with the cap 5 removed, the liquid in the container will not spill, and the liquid in the container will not be vaporized. Even if it is, there is no risk of vaporization unless the above-mentioned valve mechanism 4 is opened. Also, by simply inverting the container and shaking it, the center of the top surface of the ball 47 can be aligned with the knock rod 43.
By striking the lower end surface, a sufficient amount of liquid in the container for coating can be instantly supplied to the ears 3.

Further, in the present application, the cap 5 has an interior wall 52 fixed to the upper part of the cap body 51 that hangs down from the peripheral edge of the top wall, and the interior wall has a plurality of through holes 521...
A water-absorbing material 53 is filled between the outer surface of the interior wall and the upper inner surface of the cap body.

That is, in the present application, a water absorbing means is provided in the cap, so that even if liquid drips into the cap from the ear of the application container, the liquid is absorbed by the water absorbing material 53 and flows out of the cap. It does not leak, does not pollute the surrounding area, and does not cause discomfort.

Further, the water-absorbing material 53 can absorb an appropriate amount of liquid in advance, and in this way, the inside of the cap can always be kept in a humid state, thereby preventing the ears 3 from drying out.

Furthermore, if the stored liquid is a liquid that easily evaporates, such as a manicure liquid, the panicle 3 is likely to solidify due to the vaporization of the liquid absorbed by the panicle 3, but in this application, the above-mentioned liquid is used. In this case, by allowing the water-absorbing material 53 to absorb the liquid, an appropriate amount of vaporized components released from the through hole 521 will fill the cap, so that the liquid absorbed by the ears 3 will be absorbed. Evaporation is prevented, and the above-mentioned coagulation is therefore prevented, and the ears 3 can be kept in a flexible state at all times. Furthermore, even when the cap is removed, the liquid inside the cap will not vaporize in a short period of time. That is, in the present application, since the interior wall having a plurality of through holes 521 is provided and the water absorbing material 53 is housed in the cap, vaporized substances from the water absorbing material are gradually transferred to the cap through the plurality of through holes. Since it goes outside, this does not cause eye irritation. That is, the interior member described above can function as a vaporization suppressing film or sheet for vaporizing a small amount over a long period of time.
