Description

APPLICATION CONTAINER

The present invention relates to an application container for storing a chemical solution or the like and directly applying the stored chemical solution to an affected part, and the like, in particular, for use in applying a chemical solution such as athlete's foot to a narrow area such as, for example, between the toes. It is related with the coating container which can be preferably applied.

An application container for applying a chemical solution or the like to a predetermined narrow site is known (see Patent Document 1, for example).

The conventional coating container is a combination of a container body for storing a chemical liquid, a coating body using a brush or sponge, a middle plug inserted into a mouth portion of the container body, and a movable top and bottom with respect to the middle stopper. A hollow ship-like nozzle body, a threaded mounting cap, and a holding body integral with the nozzle body are provided. Here, the coating body, the intermediate plug, the nozzle body, and the holding body are attached to the bent portion of the container body by the installation cap. Moreover, when the nozzle body descends in the intermediate plug, the opening opened to the side of the intermediate plug is blocked by the lower end portion of the nozzle body. On the other hand, when the nozzle body rises, the opening of the intermediate plug is opened. Therefore, when the mounting cap is rotated in the loosening direction, the nozzle body rises to open the opening of the intermediate plug, and the chemical liquid in the container body can be discharged from the tip of the nozzle body and supplied to the coating body, while the mounting cap is rotated in the reverse direction. In this case, the nozzle body is lowered to close the opening of the intermediate plug. In addition, at the time of nonuse, an application body is covered by the overcap separate from an installation cap.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2005-67627

According to such a conventional application container, the chemical | medical agent is supplied to an applicator by rotating the installation cap in the direction which loosens at the time of use, and opening the opening of a mediation | coupling. The supply of the chemical liquid is cut off by blocking. Here, even if the opening of the intermediate plug is blocked after use, since a large amount of the chemical liquid remaining inside the nozzle body is continuously supplied to the coating body, the chemical liquid may be wasted or the chemical liquid may leak to the outside from the gap between the overcap. There was a problem. Moreover, there existed also a problem that an application body tends to bend and it is difficult to apply to a narrow site | part.

The present invention has been made in consideration of the above problems in the conventional application container, and is less likely to cause waste or leakage of the chemical solution after use than in the prior art, and an application container capable of easily applying the chemical solution to narrow areas. To provide.

The structure of this invention has the container main body which accommodates a chemical | medical solution, the coating body using the sponge material with a continuous bubble which has a nozzle stopper, the middle plug which press-fits into the bend of the container main body, and the coating part to apply to a nozzle case, and the bent part The cap is detachably mounted, and the middle plug opens the outflow hole of the chemical liquid at the tip of the nozzle barrel, and when the cap is attached to the bevel, the outflow hole is closed by pressing the application part of the front end face of the nozzle barrel. If it removes from a bend, the main point is to open the outflow hole and leach the chemical liquid to the surface of the coating part.

Moreover, the coating body can form the flange which spreads to the outer periphery direction in the lower end part of an application part, and can fix to a middle plug through the installation ring which restrains the said flange to the step part of the intermediate plug which stands a nozzle cylinder upright.

The outer surface of the coating portion may be provided with a plurality of stages of annular protrusions extending in the circumferential direction and provided with a plurality of sets of concave grooves that are recessed in the symmetrical axial direction.

The outer surface of the nozzle can be provided with a rib for engaging the coated body which has been protruded in the circumferential direction, and the protective skirt for storing the coated part can be arranged inside the cap.

According to the present invention, the intermediate plug press-fitted into the bent portion of the container body has a nozzle cylinder, and an outflow hole of the chemical liquid is opened at the tip of the nozzle cylinder. Therefore, the chemical liquid in the container body flows out through the outflow hole, and leaches onto the surface of the coating portion that covers the nozzle barrel, so that the chemical liquid can be applied to a predetermined portion through the coating portion. Moreover, the coating body using a sponge material has the cylindrical application part of the inner diameter which is the substantially matched size suitable for the outer diameter of a nozzle cylinder, can close the upper end of an application part, and can cover the full length of a nozzle cylinder, and a nozzle cylinder apply | coats By reaching the negative tip portion, the application portion is not inadvertently bent, and the chemical liquid can be easily applied to the narrow portion. However, it is preferable that a coating body forms substantially the thickness of the whole including an application part substantially uniformly.

When the cap is attached to the sphere, the top surface of the top portion approaches the tip surface of the nozzle cylinder, and closes the outflow hole by pressing and compressing the application portion of the tip surface of the nozzle cylinder. That is, there is no fear that the chemical liquid in the container and the chemical liquid in the nozzle cylinder may be unnecessarily flowed out of the outflow hole after use. Moreover, since the coating body using a sponge material has elasticity, when a cap is peeled off and a press force is released, it returns to an original shape quickly.

The applicator can be fixed integrally with the intermediate plug by restraining a flange that spreads in the outer circumferential direction of the lower end of the coating part through the mounting ring and is inadvertently removed from the nozzle barrel of the intermediate plug.

The application portion of the coating body extends the annular projection which protrudes in the circumferential direction in a plurality of stages or in the symmetrical axial direction to provide a concave groove that is concave on the outer surface of the plurality of tanks to increase the outer surface area, thereby facilitating the application of the chemical liquid. can do. Moreover, when the rib for engaging the coating body which protruded in the circumferential direction and protruded on the outer surface of a nozzle cylinder is provided, the fixing effect of an coating body can be improved.

The protective skirt, which is arranged in a row inside the cap, stores almost the entire coating portion on the nozzle barrel, thereby preventing rapid evaporation or solidification of the chemical liquid leaching onto the surface of the coating portion, and the surface of the coating portion for a long time. Can be kept wet. However, the inner diameter of the protective skirt is set slightly larger than the outer diameter of the applicator, and the applicator can be accommodated in the skirt through a small gap.

The outer diameter of the flange 22 is the same as the outer diameter of the edge part of the upper end of the bend 12. The stepped portion 23 is a connecting portion of a remarkable difference connecting the flange 22 of the large diameter and the nozzle cylinder 24 of the small diameter. On the upper surface of the stepped portion 23, engagement ribs 23a for engaging the coating body 30 are formed. On the circumferential surface of the stepped portion 23, an annular engagement portion 23b for the mounting ring 40 is formed.

The nozzle cylinder 24 is installed on the stepped portion 23 and extends in the symmetrical axial direction of the middle plug 20. The outflow hole 24a of the chemical liquid is opened in the flat tip surface of the nozzle cylinder 24, and the lower part of the outflow hole 24a is open-expanded and enlarged in a tapered shape.

The coating body 30 is a sponge material which has a continuous bubble which integrally formed the flange 32 which spreads to the outer peripheral direction in the lower end part of the cylindrical application part 31. As shown in FIG. The length of the coating part 31 is a substantially matching size suitable for the length of the nozzle cylinder 24, and the inner diameter of the coating part 31 is a substantially matching size suitable for the outer diameter of the nozzle cylinder 24. As shown in FIG. The outer diameter of the flange 32 corresponds to the outer diameter of the step portion 23. In addition, the tip of the application part 31 is closed by the flat surface, and the peripheral part of the flat surface is rounded. Therefore, the coating body 30 is combined with the intermediate | middle stopper 20 without the clearance gap so that it may cover the full length of the nozzle cylinder 24. As shown in FIG.
