Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] "Industrial Application Field" The present invention relates to a coating container suitable for containing external anti-inflammatory agents, liquid detergents, etc. that are applied to objects.

``Prior Art'' In order to remove local stains from clothing, detergents for spot cleaning have been provided which are applied to heavily soiled areas. Such detergents are usually used by being stored in a coating container provided with a coating member.

Figure 9 shows the inventors of the present invention who first applied
In the figure, reference numeral 1 is a container body that accommodates the liquid content, and reference numeral 2 is a coating member. This application member 2 has a large number of linear bodies 2b implanted in a loop shape on the surface of a cloth-like base material 2a, and an inner stopper 3 attached to the mouth of the container body 1.
are laminated on the top plate 3a. The application member 2 is fixed by having its peripheral portion sandwiched between the inner stopper 3 and the inner stopper 3 by a cylindrical fixing member 4.

In this application container, a spout hole 5 is bored in the top plate 3a of the inner stopper 3, and when the container is turned upside down, the liquid content flows out from the spout hole 5 to the back surface of the application member 2. The liquid is transmitted through the base material 2a of the coating member 2 and seeps out to the exposed outer surface side. and,
In this state, when the application member 2 is applied to the object to be washed and the container is moved, the detergent can be applied to the object to be washed.

``Problem that the invention attempts to solve'' In the coating container proposed earlier, the rate at which the content liquid seeps out is extremely high due to the material and density of the base material 2a of the coating member 2. There were complaints that it was slow and that it took a long time to apply the liquid content to the items to be washed.

Therefore, it has been proposed to make a large number of small holes in the base material 2a of the application member 2 to speed up the outflow of the liquid content. Since the linear body 2b... is cut, in this case, the cut linear body 2b...
There was a problem that the items being washed could be damaged at the edges.

``Means for Solving the Problems'' Therefore, in the present invention, an inner stopper having a top plate and a body hanging down from the top plate is attached to the mouth of the container body that accommodates the liquid content. , an application member in which a linear body is planted in a loop is provided so as to overlap the top plate of the inner stopper, and this application member is connected to the body of the inner stopper by a cylindrical fixing member at its peripheral portion. To,
The loop-shaped linear body is clamped and fixed so as to be crushed, and there is a spouting path that continues from the container body to the inner surface of the fixing member, and a leaching flow that communicates with this spouting path and leads to the outside air through between the inner surface of the fixing member and the application member. The above-mentioned problem was solved by forming a channel in the coating container and interposing a linear body in the leaching channel.

"Operation" When the container is turned upside down, the liquid contained in the container body flows out to the inner surface of the fixing member through the pouring path. The content liquid that has reached the inner surface of the fixing member flows out to the exposed outer surface of the applicator member through a leaching channel that communicates with the pouring path, passes between the inner surface of the fixing member and the applicator member, and communicates with the outside air.

In addition, since the leaching channel includes many loops made up of linear bodies crushed by the fixing member, the liquid content flows through the capillary gaps that exist between these linear bodies. , a desired amount of liquid content flows out of the leaching channel and onto the exposed outer top surface of the applicator member.
