[Industrial applications]

 The present invention is designed to fill nozzles for pump dispensers, especially shampoo and conditioner, etc., in the same shape with different content liquids, and when used as a pair, attach them to one of the containers and identify them by touch. The present invention relates to a nozzle body for a pump dispenser.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 For example, in the case of products that are used in pairs, such as shampoo and conditioner, they are often sold as a pair of products by filling them into containers of the same shape under the same quality concept. It is common to use both of them filled in the same container. Even if such a container has the same shape, it can be easily visually discerned from the appearance of a label or the like, and shampoo and rinse are not confused. However, when washing hair, water is applied to the face, and the face is often closed to prevent them from entering the eyes, and the eyes are often closed. , It may be difficult to visually check the label of the container, etc., and the rinse and shampoo may be confused and accidentally poured out. As a means for preventing such confusion during use, there has been proposed a container in which a tactile sense determination section composed of a large number of protrusions is provided on the body surface of one of the paired containers.

On the other hand, recently, as a container for filling a content liquid to be used such as shampoo or rinse, which is poured out in small amounts, a fixed amount of the content liquid is pressed by pressing a nozzle body 31 as shown in FIG. A container 32 equipped with a pump dispenser 30 that can be dispensed is often used. In the case of such a container, the container itself is not generally lifted at the time of pouring, and the container body is pressed to press the nozzle body 31 to pour the liquid content into the hand. Even if a tactile identification unit is provided on the body of the container, it does not actually touch the hands, so the function of identifying the container is often not exhibited. Therefore, in order to discriminate the container by the tactile discriminating unit provided in the body of the container, the body of the container must be touched for that purpose, which is a troublesome matter.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 In view of the above situation, the present invention aims to solve the above-mentioned problems of the conventional confusion prevention means in the case where different contents such as shampoo and rinse are filled in containers of the same shape and they are used as a pair. It is an object of the present invention to provide a nozzle body for a pump dispenser, which can easily and effectively discriminate one of the same-shaped containers equipped with the pump dispenser, and which can be manufactured more efficiently than before. It is what

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention is directed to the above object, in a nozzle body for a pump dispenser, which is attached to a container filled with a content liquid such as shampoo and presses the nozzle body to dispense a fixed amount of the content liquid. This can be achieved by the technical means characterized in that the tactile discrimination means is provided in the. The tactile discrimination means can be provided by selecting various positions on the outer surface of the nozzle body such as the outer surface of the pressing head portion, the outer surface of the nozzle portion, or both. Further, the shape of the tactile sense means is such that it can be sensed by the tactile sense of the hand, such as a knurl formed on the outer peripheral surface of the pressing head shoulder or a plurality of protrusions or dents formed on the lower surface of the outer peripheral portion of the nozzle. I wish I had it.

[0006]

[Action]

 By attaching the pump dispenser that employs the nozzle body configured as described above to either one of the paired containers containing shampoo or rinse, the nozzle body can be touched by touching the nozzle body during liquid pouring. Tactile sense means such as knurls and protrusions formed on the outer surface can be sensed by tactile sense, and it can be easily distinguished from other containers equipped with a pump dispenser having a nozzle body that does not have tactile sense means. It is possible to pour out without confusing the contents without visual inspection.

When pouring shampoo or conditioner into the hand with the face down or the eyes closed, such as when washing the hair, usually by grasping the whole nozzle body protruding above the container with a hand Check the direction of the nozzle part, put your hand under the nozzle port, and press the pressing head part to pour out the content liquid. Therefore, since the nozzle body is a portion that is inevitably touched by the hand when the liquid content is poured from the container by the pump dispenser, a tactile sense determination means is formed on either the pressing head portion or the nozzle portion on the outer surface of the nozzle body. Then, the discrimination effect is high, and there is no troublesome operation of touching the tactile discrimination means unlike the case where the tactile discrimination means is provided on the container body. Also, if tactile sensing means such as unevenness or knurling is provided on the outer surface of the nozzle part, when the container is moved by holding the nozzle part, the tactile sensing means increases the friction with the finger, so that it acts as a non-slip There is also. Further, the nozzle body is only one constituent element of the pump dispenser, and its molding is a much smaller mold than the mold for forming the container. It is possible to easily and efficiently manufacture the device as compared with the case of providing.
