Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a flexible tube container containing, for example, cosmetics or toothpaste.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Generally, as a tube container for containing toothpaste and the like, the one shown in FIG. 3 is known.

Usually, in such a tube container 50, one end of a body portion 51 made of synthetic resin is seamed as a bottom portion (not shown), and a shoulder portion 52 is provided at the other end. A mouthpiece portion 53 for use stands upright. To take out the contents from such a tube container 50, the body portion 51 is pressed to push the contents out.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in the conventional tube container 50, as shown in FIG. 4, when the contents are almost completely discharged, the contents remain in the vicinity of the shoulder portion 52 and it is not easy to take them out. That is, the shoulder portion 52 is usually wide in a conical shape, and it is impossible to collapse the shoulder portion 52 in terms of strength, no matter how flexible the material of the shoulder portion 52 is. .

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems of the conventional technique, and an object of the present invention is to provide a tube container capable of pouring out the contents remaining around the shoulder. And

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention adopts the following configurations in order to solve the above problems. The tube body is made of a flexible material and has a cylindrical shape. The inside of the tube body is used as a storage section, the shoulder section that connects to the tip of the tube body, and the tip protruding from the center of the shoulder section. In a tube container having a mouth tube portion where a spout is opened, a pair of linear first thin-walled portions arranged substantially parallel to each other with the mouth tube portion sandwiched in the shoulder portion, and the first thin-walled portion On the other hand, a pair of linear second thin-walled portions which extend in a direction substantially orthogonal to each other and are arranged substantially parallel to each other with the mouth tube portion interposed therebetween are provided.

The first thin-walled portion and the second thin-walled portion may be provided separately from each other, or may be connected to each other to have an annular shape. It is preferable that the first thin wall portion and the second thin wall portion are formed by providing a recess on the outer surface of the shoulder portion, because the thin wall portions can be easily bent.

It is preferable that each of the first thin-walled portion and the second thin-walled portion has a curved shape in which each central portion bulges toward the mouth tube portion because each thin-walled portion can be easily bent.

[0009]

[Action]

 When the content is low, the shoulder located outside the thin portion can be folded inward, and the content remaining in the shoulder can be poured out. In particular, if one hand bends the outside of the first thin-walled part inward and the other hand bends the outside of the second thin-walled part inward, more content remaining around the shoulder can be pushed out. it can.

When each thin portion is formed by providing a concave line on the outer surface of the shoulder portion, when the shoulder portion located on the outer side of each thin portion is bent inward, the shoulder portions located on both sides of the thin portion are formed. It becomes difficult for them to interfere with each other, making it easier to bend.

[0011]

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. In addition, this embodiment is an embodiment as a tube container for accommodating a cosmetic as a content.

FIG. 1 is a partially cutaway front view of an upper portion of a tube container according to an embodiment of the present invention. The tube container 1 is made of a thermoplastic resin, and is a thin and flexible cylindrical tube body 2 with a seam at the bottom and a thicker tube body 2 that is joined to the open end of the tube body 2. It has a head 3 which is meat and is slightly hard.

The head 3 has a conical shoulder portion 4 joined to the tube body 2 and a mouth tube portion 5 protruding outward from the center of the shoulder portion 4, and the tip of the mouth tube portion 5 is formed. The spout 6 is open at. The inside of the tube container 1 serves as a storage portion 7 for storing cosmetics. A male screw 8 is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the mouth tube portion 5, and a cap (not shown) can be screwed into the male screw 8.

On the outer surface of the shoulder portion 4, four-sided concave strips 13 having a V-shaped cross section are formed in a substantially square shape so as to surround the outside of the mouth cylinder portion 5. This recessed line portion 13 is a thin-walled portion, and a pair of first thin-walled portions 11 and 11 arranged to face each other with the mouth tube portion 5 in between and a pair of end portions of the first thin-walled portions 11 and 11 are connected. The second thin portions 12, 12 are formed.

The first thin-walled portions 11 and 11 and the second thin-walled portions 12 and 12 each have a curved shape in which the central portion of each thin-walled portion 11, 11, 12 and 12 slightly bulges toward the mouth tube portion 5. I am doing it.

In this tube container 1, when the amount of the cosmetic material remaining in the storage portion 7 is low, the shoulder portions 4 located outside the thin portions 11, 11, 12, 12 can be easily folded inward. It is possible to pour out the contents remaining in and around the shoulder portion 4.

In particular, the shoulder 4 located outside the first thin-walled portions 11 and 11 is bent inward with one hand, and the shoulder 4 located outside the second thin-walled portions 12 and 12 with the other hand. Since it can be folded inward, more content remaining around the shoulder 4 can be pushed out.

Further, since each thin-walled portion 11, 11, 12, 12 is formed by providing the concave line 13 on the outer surface of the shoulder portion 4, it is located outside each thin-walled portion 11, 11, 12, 12. When the shoulder portion 4 is bent inward, the shoulder portions 4 located on both sides of the thin wall portions 11 and 11 are less likely to interfere with each other, and the shoulder portions 4 located on both sides of the thin wall portions 12 and 12 are less likely to interfere with each other. . Therefore, the shoulder 4 can be bent greatly. Further, by forming the thin-walled portions 11, 11, 12, 12 in the curved shape, the shoulder portion 4 can be easily bent.

The tube body 2 may be composed of a laminated tube in which a resin such as polyethylene is laminated on both sides of an aluminum foil. Further, the tube body 2 and the head 3 may be one component of an integrally molded product.

Further, the connecting structure between the mouth tube portion 5 and the cap is not limited to the screwing connection, but may be a fitting connection by the engagement groove and the engagement protrusion.

[0021]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, according to the present invention, by providing the pair of first thin wall portions and the pair of second thin wall portions on the shoulder portion of the tube container, the contents remaining around the shoulder portion can be poured out. The excellent effect of being able to do is exhibited.

In particular, when each thin-walled portion is formed by providing a concave line on the outer surface of the shoulder portion, when the shoulder portion located on the outer side of each thin-walled portion is bent inward, the shoulders located on both sides of each thin-walled portion are formed. The parts are less likely to interfere with each other, and the shoulder part can be bent more greatly.
