DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a two-mixing container and a combined container of the two-mixing container, and in particular, preserves two kinds of medicines separately during storage and mixes two contents when used. The present invention relates to a two-mixing container and a linked two-mixing container connected to each other.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In general, some dyes for dyeing hair or lotions containing vitamin C are used after mixing two kinds of chemicals. This is because if two kinds of drugs are mixed and stored in advance, the preservability deteriorates or the properties of the drugs change. Therefore, in the case where the above-mentioned two kinds of drugs are mixed and used, the two kinds of drugs are separately packed and sold in a two-type mixing container having a structure that can be mixed at the time of use.

In a conventional two-type mixing container, the container body is divided into a plurality of chambers (for example, two chambers) having a liquid-tight structure by partition walls, and each of the chambers is loaded with a drug, thereby isolating each drug. In some cases, the contents can be stored in a state, and at the time of use, the contents separated by the partition walls are mixed. FIGS. 4 and 5 show a conventional two-type mixing container of this type.

[0004] The two-type mixing container 1 shown in FIG. 4 includes a container body 2 and a cap 3. Container body 2
Is, for example, a resin molded container having a bottomed cylindrical shape. The container main body 2 has a partition 4 formed therein, and the partition 4 defines the container main body 2 into two filling chambers 5 and 6. Openings 7 and 8 are formed in the upper portions of the filling chambers 5 and 6, and different agents (for example, a first agent constituting a stain) are supplied from the openings 7 and 8 to the respective filling chambers 5 and 6. 9 and the second part 10) are filled. Also,
The upper end surface of the container body 2 where the openings 7 and 8 are formed is configured to be flush. Further, a screw portion 11 is formed at a predetermined position on the outer periphery of the container body 2.

The cap 3 is also formed, for example, by resin molding, and has a cylindrical shape with a bottom. This cap 3
The lower portion of the container body 2 is disposed so as to cover the lower portion. A screw portion 13 is formed at a lower portion of the inner periphery, and a position facing the openings 7 and 8 formed in the container body 2. Is provided with a packing member (not shown). The screw portion 13 is a screw portion 1 formed on the outer peripheral portion of the container body 2.
1 and can be screwed into each of the screw portions 11,
By screwing 13, the cap 3 is attached to the container body 2. In a state where the cap 3 is screwed to the container body 2, the packing member is pressed against the upper portion of the container body 2, and the openings 7, 8 are sealed in a liquid-tight manner by the packing member (see FIG. A), hereinafter referred to as a stored state).

Since the openings 7 and 8 are liquid-tightly sealed by the packing members, the filling chambers 5 and 6 become liquid-tight and independent rooms, respectively. The filled first agent 9 and second agent 10 are not mixed, and the first agent 9 and the second agent 10 can be stored with good preservability. Subsequently, a method of using the two-type mixing container 1 having the above configuration will be described.

The two-type mixing container 1 is sold in a state shown in FIG. In this storage state, as described above, the filling chambers 5 and 6 are liquid-tight independent rooms, so that the first agent 9 and the second agent 10 are mixed even when the two-type mixing container 1 is inverted or inverted. It will not be done. In order to take out the first agent 9 and the second agent 10 from the two-type mixing container 1, first, the cap 3 is relatively rotated with respect to the container main body 2 to release the screwing of the screw portions 11 and 13. When the cap 3 is rotated, the cap 3 is displaced upward with respect to the container main body 2 along the thread of each of the screw portions 11 and 13, so that the tip of the partition wall 4 is separated from the cap 3.

As a result, as shown in FIG. 4A, a space 15 is formed below the openings 7 and 8, and the first agent 9 and the Two agents 10
Are mixed via the space 15 (hereinafter, this state is referred to as a mixed state). When the first agent 9 and the second agent 10 are mixed as described above, the two-component mixing container 1 is inverted so that the container is turned upside down, and the cap 3 is further rotated to set the container main body 2.
Remove from In this state, the mixed liquid of the first agent 9 and the second agent 10 is in the container main body 2, so that the first agent 9 and the second agent 10 can be mixed immediately without soiling the hands. Liquids can be used.

On the other hand, the two-type mixing container 20 shown in FIG.
Is constituted by a first container body 21, a second container body 22, and a partition member 23. Each container body 2
Both the first and second and the partition member 23 are formed of resin. A nozzle portion 24 is formed in an upper portion of the first container main body 21, and a cap 25 is screwed onto the nozzle portion 24. In addition, the first container body 21
Is provided with a small-diameter portion 29 at a lower portion thereof, and an opening portion 26 is formed at a lower end portion thereof. A screw portion 27 is formed outside the small diameter portion 29. Further, the small diameter portion 29
A locking groove 31 for locking a partition member 23 described later is formed in the vicinity of the outer peripheral end of the lower end portion.

The second container body 22 has a cylindrical shape with a bottom, and an opening 28 is formed in the upper part thereof. Inside the opening 28, the small diameter portion 29 of the first container body 21 is inserted, and a screw portion 30 to be screwed with the screw portion 27 is formed. Further, from the vicinity of the opening 28 of the second container main body 22, a downward extension 32 extending downward is formed.

The partition member 23 is a cap-shaped member, and the locking projection 33 formed in the storage state is fitted into the locking groove 31 of the small-diameter portion 29, so that the partition member 23 becomes the first member. It is in a state of being attached to the container body 21 in a liquid-tight manner. Therefore, the filling chamber 34 formed in the first container main body 21 and the filling chamber 34 formed in the second container main body have a configuration defined by the partition member 23 in a liquid-tight manner. Thereby, the first agent 9 loaded in the filling chamber 34
Then, the second agent 10 loaded in the filling chamber 35 is separated, so that each of the agents 9, 10 can be stored with good preservability.

Subsequently, the two-type mixing container 20 having the above-described structure is used.
How to use will be described. The two-type mixing container 1 is shown in FIG.
It is sold in the state shown in (A). In this storage state, the filling chambers 34 and 35 are liquid-tight and independent as described above, so that the first agent 9 and the second agent 10 are mixed even when the two-type mixing container 1 is turned over or inverted. It will not be done.

[0013] A two-component mixing container 2 for the first agent 9 and the second agent 10
To take it out from 0, first, the first container body 21 is rotated relative to the second container body 22. As a result, the first container body 21 and the second container body 22 are displaced so as to be relatively separated from each other.
The downwardly extending portion 32 formed on the second member 2 urges the flange portion 36 of the partition member 23 downward. Then, when this urging force overcomes the fitting force between the locking projection 33 and the locking groove 31, FIG.
As shown in (B), the partition member 23 separates from the first container body 21.

Thus, the first agent 9 loaded in the first container body 21 flows into the filling chamber 35 of the second container body 22, and the two medicines 9, 10 are mixed. Then, the cap 25 is removed from the nozzle 24, and the two-type mixing container 20 is inverted to take out the mixed liquid from the nozzle. Therefore, even with the two-type mixing container 20 having the configuration shown in FIG. 5, the mixed liquid of the first agent 9 and the second agent 10 can be used immediately without soiling the hands.

[0015]

However, in the two-type mixing container 1 shown in FIG. 4, a partition wall 4 must be provided for filling the first and second agents 9 and 10 in the container body 2. There has been a problem that the structure has become complicated and large, and the mold structure has also become complicated along with this, resulting in an increase in product cost. In addition, it is necessary to provide a screw mechanism including the screw portions 11 and 13, which also has a problem that the structure is complicated.

Further, in the two-type mixing container 20 shown in FIG. 4, it is necessary to provide the first container main body 21 with a small diameter portion 29 having a different diameter from the main body portion.
It is necessary to form the screw portion 30 and the locking groove 31 at the same time, which also complicates the structure. Also, in the second container body 22, it is necessary to form the screw portion 27 and the downwardly extending portion 32, and the structure becomes complicated. For this reason, the structure and simplification of the two-mixing container 20 could not be realized.

The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and an object of the present invention is to provide a two-mixing container and a two-mixing container connected body having a small and simple structure.

Further, the connecting portion 61 is configured to be cutable by, for example, forming a perforation or forming the connecting portion 61 thinner than other portions. As described above, the two-type mixing container 40A
(40B) is a single-use type, and thus the shape of each two-type mixing container 40A (40B) is small. The lotion used as the contents of the two-type mixing container 40A (40B) is used a plurality of times in one day, and usually a plurality of them are carried when carrying. At this time, the seed mixing container 4 in the state shown in FIGS.
Carrying more than one 0A (40B) is poor in usability and portability.

On the other hand, according to the two-mixed-vessel linked body 60 having a configuration in which the plurality of two-mixed vessels 40A are connected, the plurality of two-mixed vessels 40A can be handled collectively, and the connecting portion is used when used. Separation at 61 allows use as individual two-type mixing containers 40A, thus improving usability.
