Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Field of industrial application] The present invention relates to a combination tube container that is used as a set to contain, for example, a hair bleaching agent, an adhesive, etc. This invention relates to a combination tube container that can be easily identified.

[Prior art]

For example, it is known that hair bleaching agents and adhesives contain different ingredients in separate tube containers, and when used, the two are mixed to perform bleaching and bonding. .

For this reason, in this type of hair bleaching agent, adhesive, etc., a set consists of two tube containers containing different contents, and accessories such as spatulas and trays are used to mix the contents. The jigs are packaged together and sold as a product.

By the way, when packing two tube containers containing different contents into boxes, it is necessary to prevent tube containers containing the same contents from being packed into boxes.

Therefore, in the prior art, as a first method, two
A second method is to use different colors for book tube containers or caps, a second method is to print product names, usage instructions, etc. on the tube containers in different colors, and a third method is to change the mixing ratio of the contents, e.g. Measures such as changing the size of the tube container so that the ratio is 1:2 are adopted.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

However, in the first method, the tube containers and caps have to be molded with a resin material containing a different coloring agent, which has the disadvantage of complicating the molding process. The method has the drawback that the color printing process is increased after molding, and the third method has the drawback that molding must be performed separately using a different mold. As a result, both methods have the drawbacks of not only significantly increasing manufacturing costs, but also complicating parts management and making production equipment larger and more complex.

The present invention was developed in view of the above-mentioned drawbacks of the conventional technology, and by using the printed alignment mark as a detection mark for positioning when crimping the tube container body, the original position detection function is impaired. Even if multiple tube containers and caps are used as a set and have the same shape and color, the content can be easily identified by visually observing the matching mark, making it suitable for mass production. It is an object of the present invention to provide a combination tube container that can reliably reduce manufacturing costs.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention adopts a tube container main body made of a flexible material, each of which is used as a set of a plurality of tubes filled with different contents, and A combination tube container comprising a matching mark printed in advance as a detection mark for positioning near the bottom of each tube container main body in order to press the bottom after filling the container main body with contents,
The alignment mark provided as the detection mark for positioning is characterized in that it is printed in different shapes depending on the type of the content in order to identify the different contents filled in each of the tube container bodies.

[Effect]

With this configuration, the pre-printed match mark is used as a mark when crimping the tube container main body, and the shape of the match mark is made different depending on the type of contents, so that the same shape can be used. Even when the tube container bodies are combined as a set of two tubes or a set of three tubes and stored in a case,
The contents can be easily identified based on the shape of the matching mark. Therefore, there is no need to change the shape or color of the tube container body or cap, and the tube container body can be easily manufactured by simply selecting the shape when printing the match mark on the tube container body.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, embodiments of the combination tube container according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 6, taking a hair bleaching agent set as an example.

1 to 4 show a first embodiment of the present invention.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a tube container main body made of a flexible material and constituting the tube container A. The container main body 1 is formed into a substantially cylindrical shape, and a cap 2 is screwed into the opening (not shown) on one end side. Meanwhile, contents such as hydrogen peroxide are filled from the bottom 1A side at the other end. After filling the contents, the tube container A is formed by crimping the bottom portion 1A of the container body 1 using a thermocompression bonding device, an ultrasonic bonding device (not shown), etc. to form a crimping portion 1B. (See Figure 2).

3 is the efficacy written on the back side of the tube container body 1.
The matching mark 3 is also a matching mark provided in advance by means such as printing, and the matching mark 3 is located on the bottom 1A of the container body 1.
It is located nearby and is used as a detection mark for positioning the tube container body 1 in the circumferential direction when crimping the bottom portion 1A. That is, the tube container main body 1 is previously formed into a substantially cylindrical shape as described above, and after filling the contents, the bottom portion 1A is crimped to form the crimped portion 1B. In order to accurately place the product name (not shown) and the efficacy label 4 on the back side, the alignment mark 3 is used as a detection mark for positioning in the circumferential direction, and while rotating the tube container body 1, a photoelectric The position of the match mark 3 is detected by a sensor (not shown) or the like.
Here, the match mark 3 is formed in an elliptical shape so that the contents filled in the container body 1 can be identified.

On the other hand, 5 is a tube container main body of a tube container B which is packed together with the tube container A in a case 9 which will be described later. A cap 6 identical to the cap 2 is screwed onto the cap (not shown), while the bottom portion 5A is crimped as a crimping portion 5B after being filled with a content such as ammonia. Here, the contents of the tube container B are mixed with the contents of the tube container A at the time of use, so as to exhibit the desired hair bleaching effect.

Further, reference numeral 7 is a matching mark provided in advance by printing or other means on the back side of the tube container body 5 together with the efficacy statement 8.
It is arranged near the bottom 5A of the container body 5 as a detection mark for positioning in the circumferential direction. Here, the matching mark 7 differs from the oval matching mark 3 in that it has a shape in which both ends are rounded off, so that the contents to be filled in the container body 5 can be identified.

Further, reference numeral 9 denotes a hair bleaching agent storage case, in which the tube containers A and B are stored through an insertion port 9A, and the contents in the tube containers A and B are mixed with each other. A spatula, tray, etc. (not shown) used for this purpose are stored therein.

In the hair removal material set configured as described above, one tube container A, B is inserted into each storage case 9 through the insertion port 9A with the crimp portions 1B, 5B facing upward, and the spatula, It is now packed in boxes along with trays, etc.

By the way, the crimp portion 1 of each tube container A, B
Since matching marks 3 and 7 of different shapes are provided in the vicinity of B and 5B, during the insertion operation,
The operator can easily identify the contents based on the matching marks 3 and 7, and can insert a set of two tube containers A and B into each storage case 9 without error.

Therefore, according to this embodiment, different contents can be stored based on the shapes of the matching marks 3, 7 without changing the shapes, colors, etc. of the container bodies 1, 5 and caps 2, 6 of each tube container A, B. can be easily identified,
It is possible to provide tube containers A and B that are suitable for mass production and can reliably reduce production costs.

Furthermore, although the alignment marks 3 and 7 originally function as detection marks for positioning, even if the shapes of these alignment marks 3 and 7 are changed, the original position detection function of the photoelectric sensor etc. will be impaired. The matching marks 3 and 7, which are necessary for producers but not required by consumers, can be used for a variety of purposes.

In the above embodiment, the oval-shaped matching mark 3 and the matching mark 7 having both ends rounded off are used, but the combination of the matching marks 3 and 7 is not limited to this, and other combinations can be used. Matching mark 3 by combination of shapes,
7 may be formed.

For example, the combination of match marks 11 and 12 shown in FIG. 5 is a first modification of the match marks 3 and 7, and the match mark 11 is formed into a substantially hexagonal shape with both ends protruding at acute angles. On the other hand, the match mark 12
has a shape with both ends cut into acute angles. The combination of match marks 21 and 22 shown in FIG. 6 is a second modification of the match marks 3 and 7, and the match mark 21 is formed in a rectangular shape, while the match mark 22 is formed in a rectangular shape. It is said to have a framed shape.

In addition, although the above embodiments have been described using an unnecessary hair removal agent as an example, the present invention is not limited to this, and may be used in combination of two as a set, such as a two-component adhesive. It can also be applied to those using tube containers.

Furthermore, the present invention can be applied to a combination tube container in which three or more types of contents are housed in a tube container of the same color and shape, making it possible to significantly reduce the manufacturing cost of tube containers.

[Effect of idea]

As detailed above, the combination tube container according to the present invention provides the following effects.

The matching mark provided on the tube container body is used as a mark, and the shape of the matching mark is made different depending on the contents, so the tube can be used as a set by simply checking the matching mark. The contents filled in each container can be easily identified.

Since the match mark is simply printed on each tube container body in advance, there is no need to change the shape or color of the tube container body or cap depending on the contents, making it suitable for mass production and reducing manufacturing costs. It is possible to reliably achieve this goal.

Even when tube containers with different contents are combined and stored in a case, it is only necessary to visually check the match marks and assemble them, making the storage work reliable.

Even if the tube container bodies are different, the caps and the like can be shared, making it easier to manage parts for tube containers of different types.

For producers, the match mark is needed as a mark for positioning detection, but for consumers, it is unnecessary. It is only necessary to change the shape depending on the type of content, and the original detection mark as a match mark is not needed. It can be used for multiple purposes without sacrificing functionality.
