Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Purpose of the Invention) The present invention relates to an injection container capable of ejecting a contained object laterally by acupressure of a container formed of an elastic material. However, it has a cap for nozzle protection that does not need to be removed at the time of use, has a simple structure that does not leak even if it falls over during storage, transportation or other non-use, and is therefore inexpensive to produce. Its purpose is to provide what can be done.

2. Description of the Related Art An injection container capable of ejecting an item to be contained from a nozzle provided at a container opening by gripping a container formed of an elastic material such as polyethylene and pressing the container with a fingertip is well known. However, most of such jet containers
It is either known that it is used in an upright state or it is used upside down, and that it is used both upright and inverted is almost unknown. In order to be both positive and inverted, normally,
Although it is necessary to have an automatic switching valve for the liquid supply passage to the nozzle that is adopted in the aerosol injection container, the acupressure injection container as described above is aimed at extremely reducing the production cost. This is because such a precise mechanism does not fit.

On the other hand, a cap that protects the spray head including the nozzle from external force when the container is not used and a liquid leakage prevention mechanism when the container rolls over when not in use are necessary. It is conventionally difficult to provide such a liquid leakage prevention mechanism and achieve a low cost when it is lateral.

The present invention can provide means for overcoming the above-mentioned drawbacks of the prior art in the acupressure jet container.

(Configuration of the Invention) The invention will be described below with reference to an embodiment of the invention shown in the drawings.

That is, the present invention has a lid 1 that is tightly inserted into the container mouth of a container body A formed of an elastic material, and a cap 2 that is rotatable with respect to the lid 1 and that is capped so as not to change its position.
A pair of stems 3 and 4 are provided on the palate 1 so as to project at an eccentric position of the palate 1, that is, a position away from the center of the palate 1.
The stems 3 and 4 are provided with topped shaft holes 31 and 41 and side holes 32 and 42, respectively. Further, elastic pins 11 and 12 respectively corresponding to the stems 3 and 4 are provided on the palate 1 so as to project at the eccentric position of the palate 1. Bases 51 and 52 of corresponding nozzles 5 and 6 are rotatably and closely fitted to the stems 3 and 4, respectively. The liquid suction tube 7 is fitted in the shaft hole 41 of the one stem 4. A window hole 21 is formed in the peripheral wall of the cap 2, and the window hole 21 is formed by the nozzles 5, 6
Each has a size that allows only one to be inserted.
The axial lengths of the nozzles 5 and 6 are the shortest distance lines l ₁ and l ₂ from the centers of the corresponding stems 3 and 4 to the peripheral wall of the cap _2.
Longer than. The nozzles 5 and 6 have an injection position and a storage position, respectively, and these injection positions are located on the shortest distance lines l ₁ and l ₂ , respectively. Further, the storage positions are positions where the beak end of the nozzle is inside the peripheral wall of the cap 2. That is, it will be appreciated that the illustrated embodiment shows the nozzle 5 in the injection position while the nozzle 6 is in the stowed position. The side holes 32 and 42 of the stems 3 and 4 are located on the shortest distance lines l ₁ and l ₂ , respectively.

Finally, the elastic hinges 11 and 12 are respectively attached to the caps 2 with respect to the corresponding nozzles 5 and 6 in the storage position described above.
It makes elastic contact in the direction of the surrounding wall. In the illustrated mode (in particular, see FIG. 2), the elastic pin 12 elastically contacts the nozzle 6 in the storage position, and the elastic pin 11 elastically contacts the nozzle 5a in the storage position drawn by the imaginary line. (The elastic pin in this case is also drawn as phantom line 11a).

That is, the present invention is constructed as described above, and a pair of stems 3 and 4 are provided at the eccentric position of the palate 1, respectively, and the bases 51 and 61 are rotatably and closely fitted to the stems 3 and 4, respectively. The shortest distance lines l ₁ and l ₂
Since each of the nozzles 5 and 6 has a window hole 21 which is longer than that of the rotatable cap 2 and is formed in the peripheral wall of the rotatable cap 2, one of the nozzles 5 has the shortest distance. So on the line ₁₁ it is in the injection position, so that when the beak end of the nozzle 5 is exposed to the outside of the cap 2, the beak end of the other nozzle 6 is in the stowed position in the peripheral wall of the cap 2. Side holes 3 of stems 3 and 4
2 and 42 are located on the shortest distance lines l ₁ and l ₂ , respectively, so that the side hole 32 of the stem 3 is connected to the corresponding nozzle 5 while the side hole 42 of the stem 4 is connected to the base of the other nozzle 6. It is closed by 61. Therefore, if the container A is inverted and finger pressure is applied, the solution is jetted from the nozzle 5. When the finger pressure is released, the outside air is sucked in through the nozzle 5 and the container body A
The inside returns to normal pressure.

Next, when the cap 2 is rotated, the nozzle 5 which is inserted into the window hole 21 and is in the injection position is pressed against the side edge of the window hole 21, rotates about the stem 3, and moves with the movement of the window hole 21. As with the nozzle 5a drawn by the imaginary line in FIG. 2, the beak end reaches the storage position inside the peripheral wall of the cap 2.
As described above, at this storage position, the nozzle 5a is elastically pressed by the elastic pin 11 in the direction toward the peripheral wall of the cap 2. However, the position of the elastic pin 11 elastically contacting the nozzle 5a is indicated by the elastic pin 11a. The position of the window hole at this time is indicated by the window hole 21a. The other nozzle 6 is in the storage position described above from the beginning, so that both nozzles 5 and 6 are stored in the cap 2 and are protected from the outside, and the side holes 32 of the stems 3 and 4,
Since the nozzles 42 are closed by the bases 51 and 61 of the corresponding nozzles, liquid leakage does not occur even when the container rolls over or falls.

When using the container, in order to return the nozzle 5 to the injection position again, the cap 2 is rotated in the opposite direction. As described above, the nozzle 5a in the storage position
Receives the elastic force of the elastic pin 11a, the window hole 21a
Is located at a position corresponding to the beak end of the nozzle, the beak end of the nozzle 5 enters the window hole, and then the nozzle 5 reaches the above-mentioned injection position with the rotation of the cap 2, and the above-mentioned injection operation is possible again. become.

Next, in order to perform the injection with the nozzle 6 corresponding to the stem 4 having the liquid suction tube 7, the window hole 21 is moved to a position corresponding to the beak end of the nozzle 6 by rotating the cap 2, and the window hole 21 is further opened. The nozzle 6 is moved to a position corresponding to the above-described injection position (this position is represented by the window hole 21b). The corresponding action of the elastic pin 12 in this case is similar to the action of the elastic pin 11 on the nozzle 5. Thus, the side hole 42 of the stem 4 in which the base 61 of the nozzle 6 moved to the injection position is tightly fitted is located on the shortest distance line l ₂ , so that the shaft hole 41 of the stem 4 passes through the side hole 42 and the nozzle 6 passes through. Therefore, the injection operation by the nozzle 6 becomes possible. It does not need to be explained that the injection operation in this case is performed in the erect mode of the container. Also,
The operation for returning the nozzle 6 to the storage position as shown in the drawing is the same as that for the nozzle 5 described above, and thus the description thereof is omitted.

Although the rotation direction of the window hole 21 and hence the cap 2 when the nozzle 6 is moved from the storage position shown in the drawing to the above-mentioned injection position has not been described so far, in the illustrated embodiment, the rotation direction of the nozzles 5 and 6 is changed. Since all the axial lengths are considerably long, it is inconvenient to rotate the cap 2 counterclockwise because the nozzles collide with each other during the rotation. Therefore, in the illustrated embodiment,
It is necessary to rotate the cap counterclockwise after allowing the window hole 21 to pass once from the right to the left with respect to the beak end of the nozzle 6 by rotating the cap clockwise. However, the nozzles 5, 6
The length of the cap 2 is designed to be slightly shorter, or the positions of the stems 3 and 4 are designed to be closer to the peripheral edge of the palate 1, so that the cap 2 can be freely rotated. According to the illustrated embodiment, in order to eject a fine mist in the case of upright use, the injection port 62 of the nozzle 6 is designed to be thin, and the cup-shaped elastic valve body 8 having the notch 81 in the peripheral wall is used for the passage. Although the opening of the hole 9 is covered to improve the intake speed by releasing the finger pressure of the container body A, according to another design, the intake by the elastic valve body 8 is not necessary. Further, in the illustrated embodiment, the cap 2 is mounted on the palate 1 so as to be rotatable and invariable in relative position. Although it is engaged with the peripheral groove A2, a peripheral groove for engaging the hook 22 may be designed on the peripheral surface of the palate 1.

(Effect of the Invention) Thus, according to this invention, it is equipped with a protective cap that does not need to be removed when it is used, and it does not leak even if it falls over when not in use. It is possible to inexpensively provide a large amount of convenient acupressure injection containers in which they are ejected laterally.
