Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a two-agent mixing container suitable as a container for storing cosmetics, medicines, etc., in which two components are mixed immediately before use.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 As is well known, some cosmetics mix two types of ingredients immediately before use, for example, when mixing collagen and a beauty essence. A container for storing such cosmetics is required to have a function of separately storing two kinds of components in an unused state and mixing them immediately before use.

As a container having such a function, the inventor has devised a mixing container B shown in FIG. 3 (Japanese Patent Application No. 1-10469). The mixing container B shown in this figure has a schematic configuration in which containers 11 and 12 capable of containing two types of components are vertically connected by a cylindrical connection holder 13. The connection holder 13 also serves as a lid of the container 11, and an intermediate plate 14 having a through hole 14a is formed in the vertical middle portion thereof. An opening / closing plug 15 having a hole that moves up and down when the container 11 is rotated is fitted to the mouth 11a of the container 11. The lifting plug 15 normally abuts the through hole 14 from below. A protrusion 15a for closing the through hole 14 is formed.

Then, in the above structure, by rotating the container 11, the protrusion 15 a descends as the elevating plug 15 descends, the through hole 14 a of the connection holder 13 opens, and the inside of the container 11 and the container 12 is closed. It is configured so that the contents contained in each can be mixed.

[0005]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in the mixing container B having the above structure, there were further problems to be solved. That is, in the mixing container B, since there is no large external change between the container in the unused state and the container in use, it is not easy to distinguish the container. In particular, such a mixing container may be provided as a set of a small amount of the contents to be stored so that the contents can be used up in a short period of time. There is a demand for a container that can easily discriminate between unused and unused ones. Further, since the mixing container B has many constituent parts and has a complicated shape, it has been an obstacle in making the container small.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and it is possible to easily determine whether or not it is unused, and it is possible to downsize the container and easily assemble it. It is an object of the present invention to provide a two-agent mixing container having excellent properties.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 A two-agent mixing container according to the present invention includes a first-agent storage container having a mouth opening upward, and a second-agent storage container rotatably disposed above the first-agent storage container. And a hole communicating with the mouth of the first agent storage container when the second agent storage container is rotated at a predetermined angle. Is characterized by.

[0008]

[Action]

 In the two-agent mixing container according to the present invention, in the unused state, the contents are stored in each of the first and second agent storage containers in an isolated state. When the contents are mixed, the mouth of the first agent storage container and the hole of the second agent storage container communicate with each other by rotating the second agent storage container at a predetermined angle. The contents stored separately in the container are mixed.

【Example】

 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 show an embodiment of a two-agent mixing container according to the present invention. In these drawings, reference symbol A indicates a two-agent mixing container.

As shown in FIG. 2, the two-agent mixing container A has a bottle container (first agent storage container) 1 having a mouth portion 1a (see FIG. 1) that opens upward, and the mouth portion 1a is closed. As described above, the base container 2 is fitted into the bottle container 1 by the undercut fitting, and the contents container outlet 3a is provided. It is configured to include a second agent storage container 3 and a cap 4 that is screwed to the content outlet 3a of the toggle container 3.

A standing wall portion 2b having a U-shape in a plan view is formed on a peripheral edge portion of the upper surface 2a of the base cap 2, and the rear wall of the standing wall portion 2b, the upper surface 2a of the base cap 2, and these are formed. The corner portion formed is a concave surface that is connected in an arcuate cross-section when viewed from the side, and a hole 2c is formed in a portion formed on the concave surface of the upper surface 2a of the base cap 2a. Further, guide grooves 2d, 2d extending downward from the upper end thereof are formed on the inner surfaces of the opposing wall portions of the standing wall portion 2b. Further, bearing grooves 2e, 2e are formed at the lower ends of these guide grooves 2d, 2d.

In the toggle container 3, a male screw 3b to which the cap 4 is screwed is formed on the peripheral wall of the content outlet 3a, and the bearing groove 2e of the base cap 2 is formed on both side wall portions 3c and 3c. Projecting shaft portions 3d, 3d fitted in 2e are formed, and the lower end surfaces of the protruding shaft portions 3d, 3d are formed into a curved surface having an arcuate cross section in a side view. Also, when the toggle container 3 is fitted to the base cap 2 on the bottom wall portion 3e of the toggle container 3 and the cap 4 screwed into the content outlet 3a is rotated so as to be located above. A hole 3f communicating with the hole 2c of the base cap 2 and the mouth 1a of the bottle container 1 is formed (see FIG. 1).

In the two-agent mixing container A having the above-mentioned configuration, in the unused state, the contents are stored in the bottle container 1 and the toggle container 3 in an isolated state (see FIG. 1 (a)). ). Then, when mixing the contents, the toggle container 3 is rotated so that the cap 4 is located at the upper side, so that the hole 3f of the toggle container 3, the hole 2a of the base cap 2 and the bottle container 1 are rotated. The contents which are separately stored in the toggle container 3 and the bottle container 1 are communicated with the mouth portion 1a (see FIG. 1B).

As described above, according to the two-agent mixing container A of the above-described embodiment, the cap 4 is positioned laterally in the unused state, and the cap 4 positioned laterally is positioned upward during use. As a result, the unused container and the container in use are distinctly different in appearance, so that they can be easily distinguished.

In the two-agent mixing container A, the base cap 2 is fitted to the bottle container 1, and the protruding shaft portion 3 d of the toggle container 3 is fitted along the guide grooves 2 d and 2 d of the base cap 2. 3d can be easily assembled by guiding 3d from above, fitting it in the bearing grooves 2e, 2e, and screwing the cap 4 to the content outlet 3a of the toggle container 3. Moreover, compared to the conventional method, the number of parts is reduced, the size of the container can be reduced, and the productivity is excellent.

Further, since the contents can be mixed by a simple operation of rotating the toggle container 3, the handling is excellent.

[0017]

[Effect of device]

 According to the two-agent mixing container of the present invention, by rotating the second-agent storage container at a predetermined angle, the appearance of the unused container and the container in use is obviously different. It can be easily determined. Further, since the container has a simple structure, it can be downsized, and the contents can be mixed by a simple operation of rotating the second storage container at a predetermined angle, which is excellent in handling.
