As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the inner lid portion 2 includes a disc-shaped portion 5 and an outer peripheral wall portion 6 formed on the outer peripheral edge of the disc-shaped portion 5, The plate-shaped portion 5 and the portion of the outer peripheral wall portion 6 located above the disc-shaped portion 5 form an upper concave portion 2a, and a concave portion provided in the central portion of the upper surface of the disc-shaped portion 5 is formed. A lower concave portion (the lower concave portion has a cross-sectional area considerably smaller than that of the lower concave portion 2b formed in the above-mentioned proposed coating container) 5a is formed. A convex portion 5b is formed in the center of the bottom surface of the lower concave portion 5a, and approximately 1/4 circular arc-shaped felt support ribs 26 are formed at four positions on the front, rear, left and right outside the convex portion 5b. However, it is formed so as to project at the same height as that of the lower recess 5a. A peripheral wall portion formed of the bottom wall and the outer peripheral wall of the lower recess 2b is formed on the lid surface portion 7.

The outflow hole 9 is formed in the central portion of the lid surface portion 7. The outflow hole 9 has an upper inclined surface portion 9c formed at the center of the central small-diameter portion 9a, the lower large-diameter portion 9b formed in the bottom wall of the lower concave portion 5a, and the convex portion 5b of the lower concave portion 5a. The upper inclined surface portion 9c has an inner peripheral surface formed into an inclined surface that widens upward. The outer peripheral edge of the lower end surface of the rod-like body portion 25 of the cap 4 and the outer peripheral surface of the lower portion of the convex portion 25a are brought into close contact with the inclined surface of the upper inclined surface portion 9c. Further, an annular mounting wall 12 is vertically provided on the lower surface of the disk-shaped portion 5 between the lower recess 5a and the outer peripheral wall portion 6, and as shown in FIG. At 12 in the front, rear, left, and right of the lower end of the inner peripheral surface of the container 12, there are engaging projections 12a for elastically engaging with the fitting projections 20 of the neck 1a of the container body 1 in a circumferential direction. It is formed so as to extend to.

As shown in FIG. 5, the outer peripheral wall portion 6 is formed with a triangular cross-section at a substantially right half portion and a substantially left half portion of the upper end portion of the inner peripheral surface of the upper concave portion 2a. Mounting portions 10 each formed by arranging a large number of protrusions 10a continuously in the circumferential direction are formed, and the felt 3 is bonded and fixed to both of these mounting portions 10. With the felt 3 adhered and fixed to the upper concave portion 2a, as shown in FIG. 1, the lower concave portion 5a of the lower concave portion 5a is provided between the felt 3 and the bottom surface of the lower concave portion 5a of the inner lid portion 2. The gap 27 is formed by the height (that is, the height of the rib 26). Further, the outer peripheral wall portion 6 has a threaded portion 6a formed on an upper portion of the outer peripheral surface thereof, and a ridge 6b formed on the entire periphery of a lower end portion thereof. In FIG. 3, reference numeral 13 is a protrusion that engages with the vertical groove 21 of the neck portion 1a of the container body 1.

An inner plug 14 formed in a bottomed cylindrical shape is fitted into the neck opening 1 c of the container body 1. A through hole 14a is formed in the inner plug 14 at a portion near the outer periphery of its bottom (that is, at an eccentric position). A flange portion 14b is integrally formed on the upper end of the inner plug 14, and the lower surface of the flange portion 14b is placed on the upper end surface of the neck opening 1c of the container body 1. At the same time, the upper surface of the collar portion 14b is pressed by the lower surface of the lid surface portion 7 of the inner lid portion 2.

In the above configuration, when not in use, the threaded portion 4a of the cap 4 is fully screwed into the threaded portion 6a of the inner lid portion 2 as in the case of the proposed coating container. As a result, as shown in FIG. 1, the outer peripheral edge of the lower end surface of the rod-shaped body portion 25 of the cap 4 and the outer peripheral surface of the lower portion of the convex portion 25a (that is, the plug portion 28) become the lid surface portion 7 of the inner lid portion 2. The opened outflow hole 9 (upper inclined surface portion 9c) is in close contact with the inclined surface and the valve is closed. Further, the inner plug 14 is fixed to the neck opening 1c of the container body 1. Since the inner plug 14 has a through hole 14a formed in the bottom portion near the outer periphery, when the content liquid is permeable, the liquid level in the container body 1 may be affected by vibration or the like during transportation. Even if the liquid inclines or splashes, the above inner solution does not directly contact the outflow hole 9.

In use, as in the case of the proposed coating container, after loosening the screw portion 4a of the cap 4 and removing the cap 4 from the inner lid portion 2, the container body 1 is placed in an inverted posture. In this state, the felt 3 is pressed against the window glass of the automobile while wiping the body of the container body 1 with fingers to wipe it. As described above, when the cap 4 is removed, the plug portion 28 of the cap 4 is separated (opened) from the inclined surface of the upper inclined surface portion 9c of the outflow hole 9, and the coating solution penetrates as shown in FIG. It flows through the hole 14a and the outflow hole 9 into the lower recess 5a, and then flows into the central through hole 3a of the felt 3 and the felt 3 portion around the central through hole 3a. In this way, the coating liquid flowing into the felt 3 spreads over the entire felt 3 or is wiped by pressing the felt 3 against the window glass so that the felt 3 penetrates through the felt 3 and the center of the felt 3. The coating liquid that has flowed into the holes 3a can be evenly applied, and dust, oil components, etc. adhering to the window glass can be wiped off. Moreover, the surface of the window glass can be made water repellent by the water repellent component contained in the coating liquid.

As described above, according to the coating container, the coating liquid can be easily and uniformly applied to the window glass, and the stains on the window glass and the like that cannot be wiped off even with a wet cloth can be wiped off cleanly. be able to. Moreover, since the window glass etc. can be treated to be water repellent, it is possible to make the windshield and the rear window water repellent even when the car is driven on a rainy day, without the need to operate the wiper. , Good forward and backward visibility is maintained. Further, the flow rate of the coating liquid can be regulated by the size of the central small-diameter portion 9a of the outflow hole 9. Even if the coating liquid has a low viscosity, the flow rate can be properly adjusted to prevent the wasteful flow of the coating liquid. can do.

Further, since the lower end portion of the rod-shaped body portion 25 of the cap 4 can be guided by the inclined surface of the upper inclined surface portion 9c of the outflow hole 9, the convex portion 25a provided on the lower end surface of the rod-shaped body portion 25 is Even if the upper inclined surface portion 9c of the outflow hole 9 descends in a slightly inclined state, the convex portion 25a is guided to the center of the upper inclined surface portion 9c by the inclined surface of the upper inclined surface portion 9c, and the outflow hole 9 is completely removed. Be in close contact with. Furthermore, since the outer peripheral edge of the lower end surface of the rod-shaped body portion 25 of the cap 4 and the outer peripheral surface of the lower portion of the convex portion 25a come into close contact with the inclined surface of the upper inclined surface portion 9a of the outflow hole 9 when the cap 4 is attached. The outflow hole 9 is doubly plugged and the sealing is more reliable. In addition, by providing the ribs 26 in the lower concave portion 5a and widening the area of the upper surface of the disk-shaped portion 5 that supports the felt 3, the force that causes the felt 3 to be recessed during use is exerted. However, due to the elasticity of the felt 3, the felt 3 returns to its original flat state and the coating liquid can be applied smoothly. In addition, since the inner plug 14 is provided and the through hole 14a is eccentrically formed in the inner plug 14, the coating liquid directly contacts the outflow hole 9 even if vibration or the like occurs during transportation. And the leakage of the coating liquid from the outflow hole 9 is prevented.

FIG. 8 shows a modification of the inner plug. In this modification, a through hole 32 is formed in the peripheral side wall of a bottomed cylindrical inner plug 31, and a ridge 31a is integrally formed on the inner peripheral surface of the upper end of the peripheral side wall. Then, a supporting wall 30 is vertically provided from the peripheral edge of the lower large-diameter portion 9b of the outflow hole 9, and a protrusion 30a integrally formed on the outer peripheral surface of the lower end of the supporting wall 30 projects the inner plug 31. The line 31a is engaged.

FIG. 9 shows another modification of the inner plug. In this modification, two through holes 35 are formed in the lower portion of the peripheral side wall of the bottomed cylindrical inner plug 34. The upper portion of the inner plug 34 is fitted in the lower large diameter portion 9b of the outflow hole 9.

FIG. 10 shows another modification of the inner plug. In this modification, a convex portion 36 is formed so as to project from the lower surface of the lid surface portion 7 of the inner lid portion 2, an L-shaped through hole 37 is formed in the convex portion 36, and the through hole 37 is formed as an outflow hole. It communicates with the central small-diameter portion 9a.

It should be noted that in the above-mentioned examples, the coating liquid containing the water-repellent component (water repellent) is used, but the coating liquid is not limited to this, and the anti-fog agent is used as the coating liquid. Good.
