Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] [Industrial application field] The present invention relates to a container for thinning correction fluid.

[Problems to be solved by conventional technologies and ideas] Correction fluid has traditionally been used to correct typographical errors, etc., but the concentration of the correction fluid has decreased because the solvent evaporates during use. becomes higher. Therefore, the concentration of the correction fluid is adjusted by adding a solvent called a so-called thinning solution.

Such thinning liquid is used in a container, but in conventional thinning liquid containers, a nozzle for dispensing the thinning liquid is fitted into the opening of the container body that accommodates the thinning liquid, and a nozzle is attached to the tip of the nozzle. It is known that the cap is covered with a cap to prevent the thinning liquid from volatilizing and leaking. And when diluting the correction fluid,
The thinning liquid container is not tilted or turned upside down so that the thinning liquid is dripped into the correction liquid container from the spout at the tip of the nozzle.

However, the conventional diluted liquid container has a problem in that it is difficult to drip the diluted liquid in an appropriate amount even when the container is turned upside down. This tendency is particularly strong in the case of dilute liquids with low specific gravity.

An object of the present invention is to provide a thinning liquid container for correction liquid that allows the thinning liquid to be easily dripped in an appropriate amount by simply turning the thinning liquid container upside down.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The thinning correction fluid container of the present invention includes a container body, an inner lid having a nozzle fitted into the opening of the container body, and a cap that is placed over the container body. The inner lid is characterized in that, in addition to the spout of the nozzle, a communication hole for introducing air from the outside to the inside of the thinner liquid container is provided.

[Operation] When the thinning liquid container is turned upside down and the thinning liquid is dripped, outside air enters the container through the communication hole provided in the inner lid, so the inside of the container does not become depressurized. Appropriate amounts of diluted liquid can be dripped continuously from the nozzle.

[Example] Next, the thin liquid container of the present invention will be explained based on the drawings.

Fig. 1 is a partially cutaway perspective view showing an embodiment of the thinning correction liquid container of the present invention in a pre-assembled state, and Fig. 2 is a sectional view of the main parts of the container shown in Fig. 1 in an assembled state. .

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the inner lid A has a cylindrical nozzle part 1 that tapers toward the upper end, and is continuous with the lower end of the nozzle part 1, and has an outer part that is approximately concentric with the nozzle part 1. It consists of a cylindrical part 2. The upper end of the nozzle portion 1 constitutes a spout 3 for thinning liquid. The outer cylinder part 2 is fitted into the upper end opening of the container body C. An annular groove 4 that opens upward is formed between the nozzle part 1 and the outer cylinder part 2, and a collar 5 is provided at the upper end of the outer cylinder part 2.

The spout 3 is a hole for dripping the thinning liquid, and the size of the hole may be such that an appropriate amount of the thinning liquid can drip when diluting the correction liquid, but the diameter is usually 0.4 to 1.0. Preferably, it is about mm.

The continuous hole 6 is for communicating the inside of the diluted liquid container with the outside, and for introducing air from the outside into the inside. The container of the present invention is characterized by having this communication hole 6. That is, when the diluted liquid container is dripped with the diluted liquid container not tilted or upside down, the pressure inside the container can be prevented from becoming lower than the atmosphere by sending air from the outside of the container into the inside through the communication hole 6. . Therefore, the thinning liquid can be easily dripped by turning the container upside down. In particular, thin petroleum liquids with a low specific gravity that are difficult to drip in conventional containers (for example, toluene, mineral spirits, methylcyclohexane, ethylcyclohexane, etc. with a specific gravity of 0.7~
0.9) can be easily dripped by simply turning the container upside down.

In the case of the inner lid A shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a communication hole 6 is provided at the base of the nozzle portion 1 and communicates with the bottom of the annular groove 4. Thereby, even when the outer cylinder part 2 is fitted into the container body, it is communicated with the outside via the annular groove 4.

Although the communication hole 6 is located near the bottom of the annular groove 4 in the inner lid A of FIGS. 1 and 2, it is not limited thereto. However, if the communication hole 6 and spout 3 are too close, depending on the relative size of each hole, there is a possibility that the thinning liquid will drip from the communication hole 6 instead of from the spout 3. Therefore, it is preferable that the distance between the spout 3 and the communication hole 6 is large.

The size of the communication hole 6 may be such that an appropriate amount of diluted liquid can be dripped from the spout 3 at a time.
If the size of the spout 3 is within the above range, 0.2~
A range of 0.8 mm ² is preferred. In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, due to problems in forming the inner lid A, the groove 7 is formed upward from the lower end of the inner wall of the nozzle part 1.
By providing the annular groove 4, the lower end of the annular groove 4 is opened laterally to form a communication hole 6. Of course, only the communication hole 6 may be provided without providing the groove 7. Further, the communication hole 6 only needs to communicate between the inside and outside of the container, and its shape is not particularly limited. Note that the communication hole 6 is preferably opened laterally, thereby further preventing dripping from the communication hole 6.

As the material for the inner lid A, relatively soft plastics such as polyethylene, polypropylene, and nylon are used.

Next, cap B will be explained. Cap B has a protrusion 10 and a cylindrical protrusion 11.

When the cap is attached to the container as shown in FIG. 2, the protrusion 10 and spout 3 are brought into close contact with each other to prevent the diluted liquid from volatilizing or leaking.

As shown in FIG. 2, the cylindrical protrusion 11 is in close contact with the upper opening of the annular groove 4 to prevent the thinning liquid from volatilizing and leaking from the communication hole 6.
Furthermore, it is preferable that the shape of the cylindrical protrusion 11 is tapered as shown in FIG. 2 to make the contact with the annular groove 4 even tighter. Leakage can be further prevented. The material of the cap B is usually a relatively hard type of plastic such as polyethylene, polypropylene, nylon, or ABS resin.

Next, the container body C will be explained. Container body C
The container is a container for containing a thinning liquid, and the inner lid A is fitted into the opening of the container. The shape, size, etc. of the container body C are not particularly limited. Furthermore, in the present invention, there is no need to press the container body C to dent it when dropping the thinning liquid, so the container body C does not need to have elasticity. The material for the container body C is usually a relatively hard type of plastic with high barrier properties such as nylon, polyethylene, or polyester, and glass may also be used.

Although one embodiment of the diluted liquid container of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to this.

[Effects of the invention] The thinner liquid container of the present invention allows for dripping an appropriate amount of any type of thinner liquid by simply tilting the container or turning it upside down without denting the container by pressing.
