Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a tube container used to store cosmetics such as hair treatments and hair creams, and foods such as miso and mayonnaise.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 In general, a tube container for storing cosmetics has a small opening mouth and neck with a protruding shoulder, and a structure to attach a cap to the mouth and neck to cover the opening. Has become. As this type of tube container, for example, the one shown in FIG. 2 is often used. That is, (1) is a tube container body formed by forming a material such as a synthetic resin into a cylindrical or elliptic cylinder shape for containing contents such as cosmetics and foods. A cap (3) for covering the opening is screwed or fitted (screwed in the figure) to the mouth and neck (1a).

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 When not in use, such a tube container is often placed in an inverted state with the cap (3) facing down. However, if this tube container is placed upside down on a shelf board around water such as in a bathroom or a water washing room, water droplets attached to the outer peripheral surface of the tube container body (1) will fall downward. Flow into the cap (3) through the gap (5) existing between the shoulder (2) of the tube container body (1) and the cap (3), and the top plate of the cap (3) ( 3c) and the threaded portion (6). When the tube container placed in this way is held upright by the hand when in use, the water accumulated in the cap (3) flows down from the gap (5), and the ones around the hand holding the tube container. There is a problem that they adhere to and stain these. In addition, the water accumulated in the cap (3) promotes the generation of mold and bacteria, which is a cause of contamination and deterioration of the tube container and contents.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and even if the device is placed upside down on a shelf plate around water, etc. It is an object of the present invention to provide a tube container that does not accumulate by inflowing and does not stain the hands holding the tube container or things around it or cause contamination or deterioration of the tube container or contents.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the tube container of the present invention comprises a tube container body and a cap screwed or fitted to the mouth and neck of the tube container body. A projecting ridge body is provided so as to cover the outer peripheral portion of the cap from the shoulder portion of the container body and cover at least the end portion of the cap from the outside.

[0006]

[Action]

 In the above configuration, since the ridge protruding from the shoulder of the tube container body covers the cap end from the outside by covering the outer periphery of the cap, the shoulder of the tube container body and the cap end are covered. The gap that exists between the ridge and the section is covered with the ridge. Therefore, even when it is placed on a shelf plate around water in an inverted state when not in use, the water droplets adhering to the outer peripheral surface of the tube container body travels through the above-mentioned ridges directly or on the outer peripheral portion of the cap. It will be transmitted and will fall to a shelf board etc., and it can prevent flowing in and accumulating in the cap from the above-mentioned clearance.

【Example】

 Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. The same components as those of the conventional technique shown in FIG. 2 and described above are designated by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted.

FIG. 1 is a half sectional view showing a main part of an embodiment of the tube container of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the shoulder portion (2) of the tube container body (1) is located at a position slightly inside the outer peripheral surface of the tube container body (1), and the cap (3 ), A thin plate-shaped ridge (4) covering the outer peripheral portion (3a) is integrally provided with the tube container body (1). This ridge (4) covers at least the end (3b) of the cap (3), and the height etc. should be taken into consideration so as not to impair the operability of the lid and considering strength. Is appropriately set.

By adopting the above configuration, the gap (5) existing between the tube container body (1) and the end portion (3b) of the cap (3) is covered by the convex strip (4). When the tube container is placed upside down on a shelf around water, etc., the water droplets attached to the tube container body (1) will pass directly through the ridges (4) and will be blocked. Alternatively, it will flow down the outer peripheral portion (3a) of the cap (3) to a shelf plate or the like. Therefore, water does not flow into the inside of the cap (3) and accumulates, and there is also a problem that the hands holding the tube container and those around it are contaminated, and the tube container and contents are contaminated and deteriorated. Can be resolved.

In the above embodiment, the ridge (4) is provided so as to project over the entire circumference of the shoulder portion (2) of the tube container body (1), but this ridge is not always required. It is not necessary to cover the above-mentioned gap (5) over the entire circumference, and it has the effect of letting water droplets adhering to the tube container body (1) flow down so as not to flow into the cap (3). If That is, the shoulder portion (2) of the tube container main body (1) is formed so as to cover the outer peripheral portion (3a) at an appropriate interval along the outer peripheral portion (3a) of the cap (3) in the covered state. ), A plurality of ridges may be partially provided in a convex shape. Further, the interval between the inner peripheral surface of the ridge and the outer peripheral portion (3a) of the cap (3) is set as narrow as possible so long as the lid operation is not hindered, and it is preferable that the two are in contact with each other. It is preferable that the water droplets attached to (1) smoothly propagate from the ridges to the outer peripheral portion (3a) of the cap (3).

Further, the cap (3) of the above-mentioned embodiment is composed of an inner cylinder screwed or fitted with the mouth / neck portion (1a) of the tube container body (1) and an outer cylinder located outside thereof. However, the cap of the tube container of the present invention is not particularly limited to such a cap (3). That is, even with a cap having a single-layer structure, which is composed only of a tubular portion that is screwed or fitted into the neck portion (1a) of the tube container body (1), the tube container body (1 The same action and effect can be obtained by adopting the configuration in which the convex strip is provided from the shoulder portion (2) of FIG.

[0012]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, according to the tube container of the present invention, the tube container can be attached to the outer peripheral surface of the tube container body even when it is placed upside down when not in use and placed on a shelf plate around water. The water droplets will flow down the ridges, either directly or along the outer circumference of the cap, and down to the shelf plate. Therefore, water does not flow into the cap and collect, and when the hand is in an upright position during use, the water that collects in the cap flows down, and the hands holding the tube container and other things around become dirty. You can solve the problem. In addition, this tube container solves quality problems such as the growth of mold and bacteria due to the water accumulated in the cap, which causes contamination and deterioration of the tube container and contents, and the tube product. It is also possible to improve quality.
