Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To simplify the mixing work of two kinds of liquid. SOLUTION: In a liquid container 10, a lid body 11 is pressed by fingers when a second liquid (dilution solution) is mixed with a first liquid (correction solution). The second liquid in a storage part 14 is dripped from a brush part 4 through the inner side of a tubular handle part 16. The dripping quantity of the second liquid is regulated by changing the pressure on the lid body 11. Because the storage part 14 is formed in the lid body 11, the first liquid can be easily mixed with the second liquid.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a liquid container suitable for application to, for example, a container for storing a correction liquid. More specifically, a storage portion for storing the second liquid is integrally formed in the lid, and the second liquid in the storage portion can be dropped from the brush portion attached to the tip of the brush, so that the second liquid can be dropped. The first liquid and the second liquid can be easily mixed.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A correction fluid is sometimes used for correcting or correcting characters written on paper or the like. This is a method in which a correction liquid is applied to cover an area to be corrected, such as ink, when it is not possible to erase the written information even if it is desired to be corrected. When the applied correction liquid is dried, characters and the like can be written again from above.

FIG. 5 is a sectional view of a liquid container 1 in which a correction liquid as a first liquid is stored. As shown in FIG. 1, a liquid container 1 is composed of a plastic container main body 2 in which a correction liquid is stored, and a lid 3, and a pen portion 4 and a handle portion 5 are provided on the inner lower surface of the lid 3. The constructed brush 6 is suspended. A male screw portion 7 is formed on the upper peripheral surface of the container body 2,
Correspondingly, a female screw portion 8 is formed on the lower inner peripheral surface of the lid 3. The container body 2 is closed by screwing the female screw portion 8 of the lid 3 into the male screw portion 7 of the container body 2. When using, pull up the loose lid 3 upward,
The correction liquid impregnated in the brush part 4 is applied to the correction part while holding the lid 3.

[0004] Further, since the correction liquid is composed of a volatile solvent so as to dry immediately after application, the liquid in the container evaporates and the viscosity increases as the correction liquid is used. For such a case, a thinning liquid, which is a second liquid, is used. The thin liquid is a plastic container 8 as shown in FIG.
When necessary, the viscosity of the correction liquid is adjusted by injecting an appropriate amount of the thinning liquid from the container 8 into the container main body 2.

[0005]

As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, a liquid container 1 containing a correction liquid as a first liquid and a thinning liquid as a second liquid are stored therein. Since it is separate from the container 8, the management of these is not only troublesome, but also it takes time to inject the thinning solution into the correction fluid.

In the case of the liquid container 1 shown in FIG. 5, if the correction liquid more than necessary adheres to the writing part 4 pulled up from the container at the time of use, the writing part 4 is moved to the entrance portion of the container body 2. In this case, the amount of the correction liquid in the writing part 4 is adjusted by applying the correction liquid, so that the excess correction liquid may adhere to the periphery of the entrance of the container body 2 and solidify as it is.
Therefore, when the cover 3 is opened and closed or when the brush part 4 is impregnated, the solids fall into the container and are mixed into the correction liquid.

Further, the correction liquid adhered to the brush portion 4 is easy to dry during use, so that the correction liquid adhered to the brush portion 4 is easily solidified. In such a case, it has been difficult to uniformly apply the correction liquid to the correction portion.

Therefore, the present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problem, and is to make it possible to easily mix the first liquid and the second liquid.

[0009]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a liquid container according to the present invention comprises a container main body in which a first liquid is contained, and a lid, and the first body is provided in the lid. A liquid container provided with a brush for applying the liquid, the brush comprising a pipe-shaped handle portion and a brush portion attached to the tip of the handle portion, and a brush inside the lid body. 2
A storage portion for storing the liquid is formed, and by pressing the lid from the outside, the second liquid in the storage portion is dropped from the brush portion through the handle portion. Is what you do. In the present invention, when the first liquid is mixed with the second liquid, the lid is pressed with a finger. The second liquid in the reservoir passes through the inside of the pipe-shaped handle and is dripped from the brush. The dripping amount of the second liquid is adjusted by changing the strength of pressing the lid. Since the storage portion is formed in the lid, the first liquid and the second liquid can be easily mixed.

[0010]

Next, an embodiment of a liquid container according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a longitudinal section of a liquid container 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention. In this example, the first
The correction liquid is used as the second liquid, and the thinning liquid that thins the correction liquid is used as the second liquid. The correction liquid is used, for example, when correcting characters written on paper or the like. The correction liquid is applied to a correction portion to cover the portion. After drying, characters and the like can be written from above. Further, the thinning liquid is a liquid used when adjusting the viscosity of the correction liquid by adding it to the correction liquid whose volatilization has increased.

As shown in FIG. 1, a liquid container 10 is composed of a container body 2 containing a correction liquid and a lid 11. The container body 2 and the lid 11 are both made of plastic, and a material having elasticity is particularly selected for the lid 11. As can be seen from FIG. 2, the container main body 2 is formed in a cylindrical shape, and a substantially cylindrical lid 11 is detachably disposed on an upper portion thereof.

In FIG. 1, an inlet 12 is formed at an upper portion of the container body 2 so as to protrude upward, and a male screw 7 is formed on a peripheral surface thereof. A female screw portion 8 is formed in the lower part of the inside of the lid 11 so as to correspond to this.
1 is screwed into the container body 2. Further, a partition plate 13 is formed substantially horizontally inside the lid 11 and above the female screw portion 8. With the partition plate portion 13, a storage portion 14 is formed at an upper portion inside the lid 11.

As shown in FIG. 1, a brush 15 having a predetermined length is vertically provided at the center of the partition plate 13 in the lateral direction. The brush 15 is composed of a pipe-shaped handle portion 16 and a brush portion 4 provided on the free end side thereof, and a hollow portion inside the handle portion 16 communicates with the storage portion 13. Then, the storage portion 14 of the lid 11 is filled with a thinning solution for a correction fluid.

FIG. 3 shows a case where the opening / closing means 17 is provided in the handle 16 so that the liquid flows only when a certain pressure is applied. The opening / closing means 17 used here is press-fitted into a hollow portion of the handle 16 opposite to the brush portion 4 as shown in FIG. In the center of the opening / closing means 17, a hole 18 having a considerably small diameter is penetrated. Such opening and closing means 1
In the lid 11 having 7, when no pressure is applied to the storage section 14, the thinning liquid as the second liquid does not flow through the hole 18 due to its surface tension. When a constant pressure is applied to the storage section 14 by pressing the lid 11, the thinning liquid flows through the hole 18 toward the writing section 4. Therefore, the thinning liquid does not flow out of the storage unit 14 without permission. Normally, the hollow portion of the handle 16 is partially
Since the liquid is closed by the correction liquid, the thinning liquid does not evaporate.

In the liquid container 10 constructed as described above, when the thinning liquid is added to the correction liquid, a portion corresponding to the storage section 14 of the lid 11, in this example, the upper peripheral surface of the lid 11 is pressed with a finger. I do. As a result, the thinning liquid in the storage part 14 is dripped so as to seep out of the brush part 4 through the inside of the handle part 16 (hollow part).

Therefore, the correction liquid as the first liquid and the thinning liquid as the second liquid can be easily mixed only by pressing the lid 11. In addition, since the amount of the diluted liquid can be finely adjusted, the correction liquid can be appropriately diluted. In addition, since there is no need to store the thinning liquid in a dedicated container, management becomes easy. Further, since the thinning liquid always comes along the brush part 4, the correction liquid does not adhere to the brush part 4 and the brush part 4 can be always maintained in a smooth state. Can be applied uniformly, and the corrected portion can always be finished beautifully.
Further, since the correction fluid adhered to the brush part 4 is always maintained in a good state (appropriate viscosity), the brush part 4 comes into contact with the entrance part 12 of the container body 2 when the brush part 4 is inserted or removed. Even if the correction liquid adheres to the entrance 12, the correction liquid adhered thereto is hard to solidify. Therefore, since the solid matter fixed around the entrance 12 does not fall into the container and mix with the correction liquid, the correction liquid in the container can be always kept clean.

In this example, the case where the correction liquid is used as the first liquid and the thinning liquid is used as the second liquid has been described, but the liquids used for the first liquid and the second liquid are various. Can be considered. Further, the partition plate portion 13 and the handle portion 16 may be formed integrally with the lid 11, or may be formed separately from the main body of the lid 11 and attached later. Further, in this example, the opening / closing means 17 has been described in the case where the hole 18 is penetrated at the center thereof and the opening / closing means 17 is press-fitted into the hollow portion of the handle 16 opposite to the brush portion 4. The configuration is not limited. For example, the configuration may be an open / close valve.

Further, as shown in FIG. 4, if the upper part of the peripheral surface of the lid 11 is formed to be relatively thin in this example in the portion corresponding to the storage portion 14 of the lid 11, the pressing by the finger becomes easy.

[0020]

As described above, in the liquid container according to the present invention, the storage portion for storing the second liquid is formed integrally with the lid, and the second liquid in the storage portion is applied to the brush. It is designed to allow dripping from a brush attached to the tip.

Therefore, there is an effect that the first liquid and the second liquid can be easily mixed only by pressing the lid. In addition, since the second liquid is dropped by an amount corresponding to the pressing force of the lid, the mixing ratio with the first liquid can be finely adjusted.

Further, since it is not necessary to store the second liquid in a dedicated container, the management becomes easy.

Further, when the portion corresponding to the storage portion of the lid (the portion pressed by the finger) is formed relatively thin, the pressing by the finger becomes easy.
