Description

スパウト及びスパウト付き収容体Spout and container with spout
　本発明は、収容体に取着されて収容体内の収容物の注出を行うためのスパウト、及び、そのようなスパウトが取着されたスパウト付き収容体に関し、詳細には粒状体を収容したスパウト付き収容体に関する。 The present invention relates to a spout that is attached to a container and that dispenses the contents in the container, and a spout-equipped container to which such a spout is attached. It relates to a container with a spout.
　収容体に取着され、収容体内の収容物を注出するスパウトは、取着する収容体や収容物の種類、用途等に応じて多種多様なものが開発され、様々な分野で広く用いられている。例えば、シャンプーや洗剤、化粧品等の液体製品の詰め替え容器や、肥料や除草剤等の粒状体容器等に使用されている。 A wide variety of spouts that are attached to the container and that pour out the contents in the container have been developed according to the container to be attached, the type of the container, the use, etc., and are widely used in various fields. ing. For example, it is used in refill containers for liquid products such as shampoos, detergents and cosmetics, and granular containers such as fertilizers and herbicides.
　スパウトの中には、注出量の調整機能を備えたものや収容物を拡散しながら注出できるものもある。このような注出量の調整機能を備えたスパウトとして、流量調整部９９０を有する合成樹脂製のスパウト９００の一例を図１に示す。スパウト９００は、図示するような大きさの四つの貫通孔９９０ａを備えた流量調整部９９０を天面９９０ｂに有しており、貫通孔９９０ａを通過する収容物のみが流出するため、これによって注出量を抑制（調整）可能となっている。このようなスパウト９００は、貫通孔９９０ａの形状や大きさ、数を調整することによって、収容物の種類が粉体、粒状体、液体に関わらず、流量調整用に広く使用されている。 Some spouts have a function of adjusting the amount to be dispensed, and others can be dispensed while spreading the contents. An example of a spout 900 made of a synthetic resin having a flow rate adjusting unit 990 is shown in FIG. 1 as a spout having such a function of adjusting the amount to be dispensed. The spout 900 has a flow rate adjusting portion 990 having four through holes 990a having a size as shown in the figure on the top surface 990b, and only the contents passing through the through holes 990a flow out. The amount of output can be suppressed (adjusted). Such a spout 900 is widely used for flow rate adjustment by adjusting the shape, size, and number of the through-holes 990a, regardless of the type of contained matter, powder, granule, or liquid.
　さらに、スパウト９００の変形例として、流量調整部を平板状でなくドーム型の凸形状（ドーム状）にしたものもある（図示せず）。収容物が液体の場合、流量調整しつつ、液体をドーム状に拡散して注出可能となるため、拡散機能を付与することができる。じょうろの蓮口やシャワーヘッドと同様の原理である。 Furthermore, as a modified example of the spout 900, there is one in which the flow rate adjusting portion is not flat but has a dome-shaped convex shape (dome shape) (not shown). In the case where the contents are liquid, the liquid can be diffused and poured out while adjusting the flow rate, so that a diffusion function can be provided. The principle is the same as that of a watering lotus or shower head.
　しかしながら、収容物が粒状体の場合、ドーム状である流量調整部を有するスパウトを用いても、拡散機能を付与することはできない。粒状体は、ドーム状に拡散して落下せず、その重量から貫通孔を通過してそのまま地面にほぼ垂直落下してしまう。平板状の流量調整部９９０を有するスパウト９００と同様に流量調整は可能であるが、拡散機能を実現することはできない。 However, when the contents are granular, even if a spout having a dome-shaped flow rate adjusting portion is used, a diffusion function cannot be imparted. The granular material diffuses in a dome shape and does not fall, but passes through the through hole due to its weight and falls almost vertically on the ground as it is. Although the flow rate can be adjusted in the same manner as the spout 900 having the flat flow rate adjusting unit 990, the diffusion function cannot be realized.
　肥料や除草剤等の粒状体を散布する場合、必要量をなるべく広い範囲に散布させる必要があるが、粒状体が貫通孔からほぼ垂直落下してしまうため、従来技術を用いて広範囲に散布することは困難である。 When spraying granular materials such as fertilizers and herbicides, it is necessary to spray the required amount over as wide a range as possible. However, since the granular materials fall almost vertically from the through-holes, spray them over a wide range using conventional technology. It is difficult.
　本発明は、上記した課題に着目してなされたものであり、収容体内の粒状の収容物を拡散して注出可能なスパウト、及びこのスパウトを用いた収容体を提供することを目的とする。 This invention is made paying attention to the above-mentioned subject, and it aims at providing the spout which can be poured out by diffusing the granular thing in a container, and the container using this spout. .
　上記した目的を達成するために、本発明に係るスパウトは、収容体に取着され、収容体内に収容された粒状の収容物を注出するためのスパウトであって、　前記収容物が通過する注出口が形成された筒状部と、前記筒状部の内面壁の前記注出口側に配設され、前記収容物が通過する空間に向かって突出する拡散部と、を備えた本体部を有し、前記拡散部は前記収容物が衝突して拡散する傾斜面を前記収容体側に備えることを特徴とする。 In order to achieve the above-described object, a spout according to the present invention is a spout attached to a container and for pouring out a granular container contained in the container, through which the container passes. A main body comprising: a cylindrical portion in which a spout is formed; and a diffusing portion that is disposed on the spout side of the inner wall of the cylindrical portion and protrudes toward a space through which the contents pass. And the diffusing section has an inclined surface on the container side where the container collides and diffuses.
　上記したスパウトを収容体に取着して、該スパウトを下方に向けた使用状態において、粒状の収容物は、筒状部内を通過して、その一部は拡散部に衝突する。拡散部のうち、収容物が衝突する収容体側の面は傾斜面を有しており、この傾斜面によって収容物の運動方向を変化させることができる。 When the above-described spout is attached to the container and the spout is directed downward, the granular container passes through the cylindrical portion and a part of it collides with the diffusion portion. Among the diffusing parts, the surface of the container on which the container collides has an inclined surface, and the moving direction of the container can be changed by the inclined surface.
　例えば、最も単純な例として、収容物である一つの粒状体が筒状部内を垂直に自由落下して通過する場合を考えると、粒状体の速度ベクトルは鉛直成分のみであって水平成分は零である。この粒状体が傾斜面に衝突すると、粒状体は跳ね返り、その速度ベクトルは水平成分を含む向きに変化する。この反射によって運動方向が変化した粒状体は、その速度ベクトルが水平成分を含むため、注出口に達すると注出口から拡散するように注出される。 For example, as a simplest example, when one granular material that is a container passes through the cylindrical portion by free-falling vertically, the velocity vector of the granular material is only the vertical component and the horizontal component is zero. It is. When the granular material collides with the inclined surface, the granular material rebounds and its velocity vector changes in a direction including a horizontal component. Since the velocity vector includes a horizontal component, the granular material whose movement direction has been changed by this reflection is poured out so as to diffuse from the spout when it reaches the spout.
　実際には、収容物は多数の粒状体であって、これらが筒状部内を通過して拡散部に衝突し、粒状体同士も衝突する多体運動となるが、拡散部の傾斜面によって、粒状体の運動方向を変化させる基本的なメカニズムは同様である。すなわち、本発明に係るスパウトは、拡散部の傾斜面により粒状の収容物の運動方向を変化することによって、粒状の収容物を拡散して注出することができる。 Actually, the contents are a large number of granular materials, which pass through the cylindrical portion and collide with the diffusing portion, resulting in a multi-body motion in which the granular materials also collide with each other, but by the inclined surface of the diffusing portion, The basic mechanism for changing the direction of motion of the granular material is the same. That is, the spout according to the present invention can diffuse and pour out the granular container by changing the moving direction of the granular container by the inclined surface of the diffusion part.
　本発明を用いると、例えば粒状体の肥料や除草剤、凍結防止剤、融雪剤、研磨剤、除湿剤、入浴剤、岩塩等を広い範囲に容易に散布することが可能となる。粒状体を広範囲に散布する用途であれば、幅広い分野に利用することができるため、実用上非常に有益である。 When the present invention is used, for example, granular fertilizers, herbicides, antifreezing agents, snow melting agents, abrasives, dehumidifying agents, bathing agents, rock salts, and the like can be easily sprayed over a wide range. Since it can be used in a wide range of fields as long as it is an application that spreads a granular material over a wide range, it is very useful in practice.
　本発明によれば、収容体内の粒状の収容物を拡散して注出可能なスパウト、及び、このスパウトを用いた収容体を実現できる。 According to the present invention, it is possible to realize a spout capable of diffusing and pouring a granular container in the container, and a container using this spout.

　以下、図面を参照しながら本発明の実施形態について説明する。
（第１実施形態）
　本発明の第１実施形態に係るスパウトを、図２を用いて説明する。図２は本実施形態のスパウト１００を示す図であり、（ａ）は上面斜視図、（ｂ）は軸方向（Ａ－Ａ方向）断面図、（ｃ）は上面図である。 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
(First embodiment)
A spout according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 2A and 2B are views showing the spout 100 of the present embodiment, in which FIG. 2A is a top perspective view, FIG. 2B is an axial (AA) cross-sectional view, and FIG. 2C is a top view.
　本実施形態のスパウト１００は合成樹脂等によって形成されており、例えば図１０で示すようなシート状部材で構成される収容体７００に取着（溶着）され、収容部内の粒状の収容物を注出するために用いられる。図２に示すように、スパウト１００は、収容物が通過する注出口１３０が形成された筒状部１１０と、筒状部１１０の内壁面１１０ａの注出口１３０側に配設され、筒状部１１０の内面壁１１０ａから収容物が通過する空間（内部空間）Ｓに向かって突出する拡散部１５０とを備えた本体部１０５を有しており、本実施形態では前記収容体７００に取着されるように、収容体を構成するシート状部材が溶着される溶着部１７０が形成されている。なお、前記内部空間Ｓは、筒状部１１０内の空間だけでなく、筒状部１１０の外側であって注出口１３０付近の空間も含むものと定義する。また、後述するように拡散部１５０が本体部１０５に対して着脱可能な実施形態の場合、筒状部は拡散部１５０を備えるパーツのパーツ筒状部を含むものと定義する。 The spout 100 of this embodiment is formed of a synthetic resin or the like, and is attached (welded) to a container 700 made of, for example, a sheet-like member as shown in FIG. 10, and the granular container in the container is poured. Used to put out. As shown in FIG. 2, the spout 100 is disposed on the side of the spout 130 on the inner wall surface 110a of the tubular portion 110, and the tubular portion 110 in which the spout 130 through which the article passes is formed. 110 has a main body part 105 including a diffusion part 150 projecting toward a space (internal space) S through which an article passes from an inner wall 110a of 110, and is attached to the container 700 in this embodiment. As described above, a welded portion 170 to which a sheet-like member constituting the container is welded is formed. The internal space S is defined to include not only the space inside the tubular portion 110 but also the space outside the tubular portion 110 and near the spout 130. As will be described later, in the embodiment in which the diffusing unit 150 is detachable from the main body unit 105, the cylindrical part is defined as including a part cylindrical part of a part including the diffusing part 150.
　前記筒状部１１０の形状は、収容体から流入する収容物を通過させる内部空間Ｓを備えていれば、図示するような円筒状に限られず、角柱状や円錐状等であっても良い。筒状部１１０の外面壁１１０ｂには、注出口１３０を密封、開封するための密開封手段であるスクリュー式のキャップ（例えば、図１０におけるキャップ７５０）と螺合する凸部１１０ｃ、及びキャップの未開封を保証するバンド（図示せず）を初回開封時に切り離して、その切り離したバンドを留め置くバンド受部１１０ｄが形成されている。 The shape of the cylindrical portion 110 is not limited to a cylindrical shape as shown in the figure, as long as it has an internal space S through which a thing flowing in from a container passes, and may be a prismatic shape, a conical shape, or the like. On the outer surface wall 110b of the cylindrical portion 110, a convex portion 110c that is screwed with a screw-type cap (for example, the cap 750 in FIG. 10) that is a tight opening means for sealing and opening the spout 130, and a cap A band receiving portion 110d is formed that separates a band (not shown) that guarantees unopening at the time of first opening and holds the separated band.
　前記拡散部１５０は、図２に示すように、筒状部１１０の注出口１３０側の端部１１０ｅに、内面壁１１０ａから筒状部１１０の内部空間Ｓに向かって突出している。収容体に取着されたスパウト１００を下方に向けて用いると、収容物は、筒状部１１０の収容体側から端部１１０ｅに向かって軸方向に内部空間Ｓを通過するため、内部空間Ｓに向かって突出することで、収容物を拡散部１５０に衝突させることができる。 As shown in FIG. 2, the diffusing portion 150 protrudes from the inner wall 110 a toward the inner space S of the cylindrical portion 110 at the end portion 110 e of the cylindrical portion 110 on the spout 130 side. When the spout 100 attached to the container is used facing downward, the contents pass through the internal space S in the axial direction from the container side of the cylindrical part 110 toward the end part 110e. By projecting toward the object, the contents can collide with the diffusion unit 150.
　図３（ａ）は、拡散部１５０を図２（ｂ）で示すＢ－Ｂ方向（前記拡散部１５０が突出する方向に垂直な面）で切断した断面図である。図示するように、拡散部１５０の収容体側には、収容物が衝突して拡散する傾斜面１５０ａが形成されている。粒状の収容物が内部空間Ｓを通過する際、収容体側（図面下方側）から傾斜面１５０ａに衝突して跳ね返り、粒状体の運動方向が変化する。 FIG. 3A is a cross-sectional view of the diffusing portion 150 cut along the BB direction (plane perpendicular to the direction in which the diffusing portion 150 protrudes) shown in FIG. 2B. As shown in the figure, an inclined surface 150a is formed on the container side of the diffusing portion 150, where the object collides and diffuses. When the granular container passes through the internal space S, it collides with the inclined surface 150a from the container side (lower side in the drawing) and rebounds, and the movement direction of the granular object changes.
　この運動方向の変化について、最も単純なモデルとして、注出時に収容物である一つの粒状体が内部空間Ｓを垂直に自由落下し、傾斜面１５０ａに衝突する場合を説明する。その場合、図３（ａ）において、粒状体は図面の下方側から上方側に傾斜のない真っ直ぐな直線運動で進み、傾斜面１５０ａに衝突する。衝突前は、粒状体の速度ベクトルは鉛直成分のみであって水平成分は零である。この粒状体が傾斜した傾斜面１５０ａに衝突すると、粒状体は跳ね返り、その運動方向は水平成分を含む向きに変化する。 Regarding the change in the direction of motion, the case where a single granular material, which is a contained material, drops freely vertically in the internal space S and collides with the inclined surface 150a will be described as the simplest model. In that case, in FIG. 3A, the granular material advances in a straight linear motion without inclination from the lower side to the upper side of the drawing, and collides with the inclined surface 150a. Before the collision, the velocity vector of the granular material has only the vertical component and the horizontal component is zero. When the granular material collides with the inclined surface 150a inclined, the granular material rebounds, and its moving direction changes to a direction including a horizontal component.
　図３（ａ）の傾斜面１５０ａは左右対称な山状に形成されているため、粒状体が右側の傾斜面１５０ａ１に衝突すると、その運動方向は図３（ａ）正面視で右方向の水平成分を含む向きに、粒状体が左側の傾斜面１５０ａ２に衝突すると、その運動方向は図３（ａ）正面視で左方向の水平成分を含む向きに変化する。 Since the inclined surface 150a in FIG. 3A is formed in a bilaterally symmetrical mountain shape, when the granular material collides with the right inclined surface 150a1, the direction of movement is horizontal in the right direction when viewed from the front in FIG. When the granular material collides with the left inclined surface 150a2 in the direction including the component, the moving direction changes to the direction including the horizontal component in the left direction in the front view of FIG.
　このように衝突によって運動方向が変化した粒状の収容物は、その運動方向が水平成分を含むため、注出口１３０に達すると注出口１３０から拡散するように注出される。具体的には、図２（ｂ）で示す拡散部１５０－１の傾斜面１５０ａが図３（ａ）で示す形状の場合、傾斜面１５０ａ１に衝突した粒状体は、衝突後の進行方向にある図２（ｂ）の注出口１３０－１から外部に注出され、傾斜面１５０ａ２に衝突した粒状体は、衝突後の進行方向にある進行方向にある図２（ｂ）の注出口１３０－２から外部に注出される。 The granular container whose movement direction has been changed by the collision as described above is poured out so as to diffuse from the spout 130 when it reaches the spout 130 because the movement direction includes a horizontal component. Specifically, when the inclined surface 150a of the diffusion section 150-1 shown in FIG. 2 (b) has the shape shown in FIG. 3 (a), the granular material that has collided with the inclined surface 150a1 is in the traveling direction after the collision. The granular material poured out from the spout 130-1 in FIG. 2B and colliding with the inclined surface 150a2 is in the traveling direction in the traveling direction after the collision. The spout 130-2 in FIG. From the outside.
　なお、実際には、多数の粒状体が内部空間Ｓを通過して拡散部に衝突し、粒状体同士も衝突する多体運動となり、また内部空間Ｓを垂直落下でなく水平方向を含んで落下する粒状体も存在するが、拡散注出の基本的なメカニズムは同様である。すなわち、拡散部１５０の傾斜面１５０ａにより、粒状の収容物の運動方向を変化することによって、粒状の収容物を拡散して注出することができる。 Actually, a large number of granular bodies collide with the diffusion part through the internal space S, and the granular bodies collide with each other, and the internal space S falls in the horizontal direction instead of falling vertically. However, the basic mechanism of diffusion is the same. That is, the granular container can be diffused and poured out by changing the movement direction of the granular container by the inclined surface 150a of the diffusion part 150.
　次に、図３（ｂ）～（ｄ）を用いて、傾斜面１５０ａの形状について他の実施例を説明する。図３（ｂ）は図３（ａ）と同様に左右対称な山状であるが、傾斜面は平面でなく湾曲している。また、図３（ｂ）の傾斜面１５０ａの山状の先端部は平坦であり、傾斜していない部分１５０ａ３を含んでいる。この場合、粒状体は傾斜面１５０ａの湾曲面１５０ａ１又は１５０ａ２で運動方向が変えられて、注出口１３０から拡散するように注出される。すなわち、傾斜面１５０ａは一部に傾斜のある面を含んでいれば良く、その形状は平面に限られない。 Next, another embodiment of the shape of the inclined surface 150a will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 3B is a mountain shape that is bilaterally symmetric like FIG. 3A, but the inclined surface is not a flat surface but is curved. Moreover, the mountain-shaped tip part of the inclined surface 150a in FIG. 3B is flat and includes a non-inclined part 150a3. In this case, the granular material is poured so as to diffuse from the spout 130 by changing the direction of movement by the curved surface 150a1 or 150a2 of the inclined surface 150a. That is, the inclined surface 150a only needs to include a partially inclined surface, and the shape is not limited to a flat surface.
　図３（ｃ）、（ｄ）はそれぞれ、図３（ａ）、（ｂ）の左側部分を拡散部１５０の収容体側の面全体に広げて形成した実施例である。図２（ｂ）で示す拡散部１５０－１の傾斜面１５０ａが図３（ｃ）または（ｄ）で示す形状の場合、傾斜面１５０ａ２に衝突した粒状体は、衝突後の進行方向にある注出口１３０（図２（ｂ）の注出口１３０－２）から外部に注出される。すなわち、図３（ａ）、（ｂ）で示す山状の場合には、左右両側の注出口１３０からそれぞれ左右に広がるように拡散注出できるが、図３（ｃ）、（ｄ）で示す形状の場合には左側の注出口１３０－２のみから左にのみ広がるように拡散注出される。従って、図３（ａ）、（ｂ）で示す山状の傾斜面１５０ａの方が、より広範囲に拡散注出可能となる。 3 (c) and 3 (d) are examples in which the left side portions of FIGS. 3 (a) and 3 (b) are formed so as to be spread over the entire surface of the diffusing portion 150 on the container side. When the inclined surface 150a of the diffusing portion 150-1 shown in FIG. 2 (b) has the shape shown in FIG. 3 (c) or (d), the granular material colliding with the inclined surface 150a2 is in the traveling direction after the collision. It is poured out from the outlet 130 (the outlet 130-2 in FIG. 2B). That is, in the case of the mountain shape shown in FIGS. 3 (a) and 3 (b), it can be diffused and poured out from the spouts 130 on both the left and right sides, respectively, but as shown in FIGS. 3 (c) and 3 (d). In the case of a shape, diffusion and extraction are performed so as to spread only to the left from only the left outlet 130-2. Therefore, the mountain-shaped inclined surface 150a shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B can be diffused and poured over a wider range.
　図２に示すスパウト１００は、四つの拡散部１５０を有しており、これらは筒状部１１０の中心軸に対して回転対称に配置されている。このように複数個を回転対称に配置すると、全方位に対して拡散が可能となる。また、四つの拡散部１５０の傾斜面１５０ａの形状は同一であり、これによってより均等な拡散が可能となる。逆に拡散範囲や注出量に偏りを持たせたい場合等には、異なる形状のものを用いたり、回転非対称に配置することもできる。すなわち、各拡散部１５０の形状や配置は目的に応じて適宜組み合わせることができる。 The spout 100 shown in FIG. 2 has four diffusion parts 150, which are arranged rotationally symmetrically with respect to the central axis of the cylindrical part 110. If a plurality are arranged rotationally symmetrical in this way, diffusion is possible in all directions. In addition, the shapes of the inclined surfaces 150a of the four diffusion portions 150 are the same, which enables more even diffusion. On the contrary, when it is desired to make the diffusion range and the dispensing amount uneven, different shapes can be used, or they can be arranged rotationally asymmetric. That is, the shape and arrangement of each diffusion unit 150 can be combined as appropriate according to the purpose.
　また、スパウト１００の拡散部１５０はいずれも、筒状部１１０の内面壁１１０ａから垂直に（径方向に沿って）内部空間Ｓに向かって突出しているが、垂直に突出している必要はなく、傾きをもって斜めに突出していても良い。拡散部１５０を斜めに（径方向から傾斜をつけて）内部空間Ｓに突出させることにより、収容物が傾斜面１５０ａに衝突する際の衝突角度を調整することができる。この衝突角度は、傾斜面１５０ａの形状、及び、拡散部１５０が内部空間Ｓに向かって突出する角度により規定されるため、両者を適宜設計することによって、収容物の衝突角度を調整可能である。 Moreover, although all the diffusion parts 150 of the spout 100 protrude from the inner wall 110a of the cylindrical part 110 vertically (along the radial direction) toward the internal space S, it is not necessary to protrude vertically. You may protrude diagonally with inclination. By causing the diffusing portion 150 to protrude obliquely (inclined from the radial direction) into the internal space S, the collision angle when the contents collide with the inclined surface 150a can be adjusted. Since the collision angle is defined by the shape of the inclined surface 150a and the angle at which the diffusing portion 150 protrudes toward the internal space S, the collision angle of the contained item can be adjusted by designing both appropriately. .
　さらに、図２に示す拡散部１５０は、収容体と反対側（注出口１３０側）の筒状部１１０の端部１１０ｅに形成されているが、傾斜面１５０ａに衝突した粒状の収容物が、注出口１３０に到達可能であれば、端部１１０ｅに限られず、多少内部側に形成されていても良い。 Furthermore, although the diffusion part 150 shown in FIG. 2 is formed in the end part 110e of the cylindrical part 110 on the opposite side (outlet 130 side) from the container, the granular container that collides with the inclined surface 150a is As long as it can reach the spout 130, it is not limited to the end 110e, and may be formed somewhat inside.
（第２実施形態）
　次に、本発明の第２実施形態に係るスパウトを、図４を用いて説明する。本実施形態のスパウト２００は、第１実施形態のスパウト１００の本体部１０５に貫通孔１９０ａを備えた流量調整部１９０をさらに設けたものである。図４はスパウト２００を示す図であり、（ａ）は上面斜視図、（ｂ）は軸方向（Ａ－Ａ方向）断面図、（ｃ）は流量調整部１９０を有する流量調整パーツ２９０の斜視図である。なお、以下に説明する実施形態では、第１実施形態と同様な構成については、同一の参照符号を付し詳細な説明は省略する。 (Second Embodiment)
Next, a spout according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. The spout 200 of the present embodiment further includes a flow rate adjusting unit 190 having a through hole 190a in the main body 105 of the spout 100 of the first embodiment. 4A and 4B are views showing the spout 200, where FIG. 4A is a top perspective view, FIG. 4B is an axial (AA direction) cross-sectional view, and FIG. 4C is a perspective view of a flow rate adjustment part 290 having a flow rate adjustment unit 190. FIG. In the embodiments described below, the same reference numerals are assigned to the same configurations as those in the first embodiment, and detailed descriptions thereof are omitted.
　前記流量調整パーツ２９０は、図４（ｃ）に示すように、収容物の流出を許容する複数の貫通孔１９０ａが形成された板状の流量調整部１９０と、流量調整部１９０を支持するパーツ筒状部１９０ｂと、パーツ筒状部１９０ｂの底部に形成された環状の突起１９０ｇと、スパウト２００の筒状部１１０と係合する係合部１９０ｄとを備える。図４（ａ）（ｂ）に示すように、流量調整パーツ２９０は、筒状部１１０の内面壁１１０ａに装着して使用する。 As shown in FIG. 4 (c), the flow rate adjusting part 290 includes a plate-like flow rate adjusting unit 190 in which a plurality of through holes 190 a that allow the outflow of the contents are formed, and parts that support the flow rate adjusting unit 190. A cylindrical portion 190b, an annular protrusion 190g formed on the bottom of the part cylindrical portion 190b, and an engaging portion 190d that engages with the cylindrical portion 110 of the spout 200 are provided. As shown in FIGS. 4 (a) and 4 (b), the flow rate adjusting part 290 is used by being attached to the inner wall 110 a of the cylindrical portion 110.
　前記係合部１９０ｄは、前記パーツ筒状部１９０ｂの側壁において軸方向に形成された貫通溝であり、この貫通溝が内面壁１１０ａに形成された凸部１１０ｆに係合する。流量調整パーツ２９０は、係合部１９０ｄと凸部１１０ｆが係合するように筒状部１１０の収容体側の開口１１０ｊから挿入することによって、筒状部１１０の内面壁１１０ａに装着される。また、装着時に貫通孔１９０ａが拡散部１５０（傾斜面１５０ａ）と軸方向において対向するように、前記係合部１９０ｄがパーツ筒状部１９０ｂに形成されている。この貫通孔１９０ａと拡散部１５０（傾斜面１５０ａ）との対向配置の効果については後述する。 The engaging portion 190d is a through groove formed in the axial direction on the side wall of the part cylindrical portion 190b, and this through groove engages with a convex portion 110f formed on the inner surface wall 110a. The flow rate adjusting part 290 is attached to the inner wall 110a of the tubular part 110 by inserting from the opening 110j on the container side of the tubular part 110 so that the engaging part 190d and the convex part 110f are engaged. Further, the engaging portion 190d is formed in the part cylindrical portion 190b so that the through hole 190a faces the diffusing portion 150 (inclined surface 150a) in the axial direction when mounted. The effect of the opposing arrangement of the through hole 190a and the diffusion part 150 (inclined surface 150a) will be described later.
　前記突起１９０ｇは、パーツ筒状部１９０ｂの底部の周縁に形成されており、流量調整パーツ２９０が筒状部１１０の収容体側の開口１１０ｊから挿入されて、突起１９０ｇが筒状部１１０の収容体側の端部１１０ｇに接触すると、挿入の進行が停止し、流量調整パーツ２９０を所定の位置で留めることができる。 The protrusion 190g is formed on the periphery of the bottom of the part cylindrical portion 190b, the flow rate adjusting part 290 is inserted from the opening 110j on the container side of the cylindrical portion 110, and the protrusion 190g is on the container side of the cylindrical portion 110. When the end 110g is touched, the progress of the insertion is stopped, and the flow rate adjusting part 290 can be held at a predetermined position.
　前記貫通孔１９０ａは、収容物が通過する方向（軸方向）において拡散部１５０（傾斜面１５０ａ）と対向するように配置されることが好ましい。対向配置することによって、収容物を拡散部１５０の傾斜面１５０ａに集中して衝突させることができるため、上述した拡散部１５０による拡散効果をより大きく発揮させることができる。従って、流量調整部１９０は、筒状部１１０を部分的に遮蔽することによって収容物の流量（注出量）を調整すると共に、貫通孔１９０ａと拡散部１５０の対向配置によって収容物を傾斜面１５０ａに集中させる効果を奏する。 It is preferable that the through-hole 190a is disposed so as to face the diffusion portion 150 (the inclined surface 150a) in the direction (axial direction) through which the article passes. By disposing them in opposition, the contents can be concentrated and collided with the inclined surface 150a of the diffusion part 150, so that the diffusion effect by the diffusion part 150 described above can be exhibited more greatly. Accordingly, the flow rate adjusting unit 190 adjusts the flow rate (pouring amount) of the contained object by partially shielding the cylindrical part 110, and also causes the accommodated object to be inclined by the opposing arrangement of the through hole 190a and the diffusing part 150. There is an effect of concentrating on 150a.
　前記貫通孔１９０ａの形状は円形であるが、円形に限られず、貫通孔１９０ａを通過した収容物が拡散部１５０の傾斜面１５０ａに集中できる形状であれば良い。例えば、後述する図７～図９に示す実施形態においては、貫通孔１９０ａの形状は、接続部１５０の傾斜面１５０ａの平面形状に類似した形となっており、より傾斜面１５０ａに集中しやすくなっている。 The shape of the through-hole 190a is circular, but is not limited to a circle, and any shape that allows the contents that have passed through the through-hole 190a to concentrate on the inclined surface 150a of the diffusion portion 150 may be used. For example, in the embodiments shown in FIGS. 7 to 9 to be described later, the shape of the through hole 190a is similar to the planar shape of the inclined surface 150a of the connecting portion 150, and is more easily concentrated on the inclined surface 150a. It has become.
　前記流量調整部１９０は四つの貫通孔１９０ａを備えており、各貫通孔１９０ａは四つの拡散部１５０のそれぞれに対向するように配置されている。このように拡散部１５０が複数ある場合、各拡散部１５０に対向するように貫通孔１９０ａを設けると、全ての拡散部１５０の傾斜面１５０ａに収容物を集中して衝突させることができる。さらに、各貫通孔１９０ａの形状と大きさを同一に揃えることによって、全方位に対してより均等な拡散効果を実現することができる。一方で、拡散範囲や注出量に偏りを持たせたい場合等には、貫通孔１９０ａの形状や大きさ、拡散部１５０との位置関係を調整すれば良く、これらは目的に応じて適宜組み合わせることができる。 The flow rate adjusting unit 190 includes four through holes 190a, and each through hole 190a is arranged to face each of the four diffusion units 150. When there are a plurality of diffusion parts 150 as described above, if the through holes 190 a are provided so as to face the diffusion parts 150, the contents can be concentrated and collided with the inclined surfaces 150 a of all the diffusion parts 150. Furthermore, by making the shape and size of each through-hole 190a the same, a more uniform diffusion effect can be realized in all directions. On the other hand, when it is desired to have a bias in the diffusion range and the amount of extraction, the shape and size of the through-hole 190a and the positional relationship with the diffusion portion 150 may be adjusted, and these are combined as appropriate according to the purpose. be able to.
　また、スパウト２００は、貫通孔１９０ａから傾斜面１５０ａまでの距離によって、拡散範囲を調整することができる。貫通孔１９０ａから傾斜面１５０ａまでの距離が短くなると、傾斜面１５０ａに衝突する際の粒状体の速度が遅いため、衝突後の粒状体の速度も遅くなり、注出口１３０からの到達距離が短くなって拡散範囲が狭くなる。一方、貫通孔１９０ａから傾斜面１５０ａまでの距離が長すぎると、貫通孔１９０ａが傾斜面１５０ａに集中しにくくなってしまう。 Further, the spout 200 can adjust the diffusion range according to the distance from the through hole 190a to the inclined surface 150a. When the distance from the through-hole 190a to the inclined surface 150a is shortened, the speed of the granular material when colliding with the inclined surface 150a is slow. Therefore, the speed of the granular material after the collision is also slow, and the reach distance from the spout 130 is short. The diffusion range becomes narrow. On the other hand, if the distance from the through hole 190a to the inclined surface 150a is too long, the through hole 190a is less likely to concentrate on the inclined surface 150a.
　このため、傾斜面１５０ａへの集中度合い、及び、粒状体の衝突速度を考慮して、貫通孔１９０ａから傾斜面１５０ａまでの距離を適宜設計し、拡散範囲を調整することが好ましい。図４で示す流量調整パーツ２９０においては、筒状のパーツ筒状部１９０ｂの長さを調整することによって、上記した貫通孔１９０ａから傾斜面１５０ａまでの距離を変更することができる。 Therefore, it is preferable to adjust the diffusion range by appropriately designing the distance from the through hole 190a to the inclined surface 150a in consideration of the degree of concentration on the inclined surface 150a and the collision speed of the granular material. In the flow rate adjusting part 290 shown in FIG. 4, the distance from the above-described through hole 190a to the inclined surface 150a can be changed by adjusting the length of the cylindrical part cylindrical part 190b.
　前記流量調整パーツ２９０は、着脱可能であるため、目的や用途に応じた仕様の異なる流量調整パーツ２９０を切替えて使用することもできる。例えば、貫通孔１９０ａの形状や大きさ、拡散部１５０との配置関係、パーツ筒状部１９０ｂの長さを変更すると、上述したように拡散範囲や注出量等が変化するため、仕様の異なる流量調整部１９０を着脱して使用でき便利である。 Since the flow rate adjustment part 290 is detachable, the flow rate adjustment part 290 having different specifications according to the purpose and application can be switched and used. For example, if the shape and size of the through-hole 190a, the arrangement relationship with the diffusion part 150, and the length of the part cylindrical part 190b are changed, the diffusion range and the amount of extraction change as described above, so the specifications are different. The flow rate adjustment unit 190 can be attached and removed for convenience.

The spout 300 according to this embodiment is configured such that the diffusing unit 150 can be attached to and detached from the main body unit 105 and the flow rate adjusting unit 190 is fixed inside the cylindrical unit 110. 5A and 5B are views showing the spout 300, in which FIG. 5A is a perspective view and FIG. 5B is an axial (AA direction) cross-sectional view. FIG. 6 is a perspective view showing a state in which the removable diffusion part 350 including the diffusion unit 150 is removed from the spout 300, where (a) shows the diffusion part 350 and (b) shows the part from which the diffusion part 350 has been removed. FIG.
　前記拡散パーツ３５０は、図６（ａ）に示すように略円筒状に形成されており、拡散部１５０と、拡散部１５０を支持するパーツ筒状部３５０ｂと、パーツ筒状部３５０ｂの天部に形成された環状の突起３５０ｅと、スパウト３００の筒状部１１０と係合する係合部３５０ｄとを備える。図５（ａ）（ｂ）に示すように、拡散パーツ３５０は、筒状部１１０の内面壁１１０ａに装着して使用する。本実施形態において、拡散部１５０はパーツ筒状部３５０ｂの注出口１３０側に配設され、パーツ筒状部３５０ｂの内面壁３５０ａから収容物が通過する内部空間Ｓに向かって突出している。 The diffusion part 350 is formed in a substantially cylindrical shape as shown in FIG. 6A, and includes a diffusion part 150, a part cylindrical part 350b that supports the diffusion part 150, and a top part of the part cylindrical part 350b. And an engaging portion 350d that engages with the cylindrical portion 110 of the spout 300. As shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B, the diffusion part 350 is used by being attached to the inner wall 110 a of the cylindrical portion 110. In this embodiment, the diffusing part 150 is disposed on the spout 130 side of the part cylindrical part 350b, and protrudes from the inner wall 350a of the part cylindrical part 350b toward the internal space S through which the contents pass.
　前記係合部３５０ｄは、前記パーツ筒状部３５０ｂの側壁において軸方向に形成された凸部であり、この凸部が本体の内面壁１１０ａに形成された係合溝１１０ｈに係合する。拡散パーツ３５０は、係合部３５０ｄと係合溝１１０ｈが係合するように筒状部１１０の注出口側（収容体側と反対側）の開口１１０ｉから挿入することによって、筒状部１１０の内面壁１１０ａに装着される。また、装着時に貫通孔１９０ａが拡散部１５０（傾斜面１５０ａ）と軸方向において対向するように、係合部３５０ｄはパーツ筒状部３５０ｂに形成されている。この貫通孔１９０ａと拡散部１５０（傾斜面１５０ａ）との対向配置の効果は、流量調整パーツ２９０において既述した通りである。 The engaging portion 350d is a convex portion formed in the axial direction on the side wall of the part cylindrical portion 350b, and this convex portion engages with an engaging groove 110h formed on the inner surface wall 110a of the main body. The diffusion part 350 is inserted through the opening 110i on the spout side (opposite side of the container) of the cylindrical part 110 so that the engaging part 350d and the engaging groove 110h engage with each other. Attached to the face wall 110a. Further, the engaging portion 350d is formed in the part cylindrical portion 350b so that the through hole 190a faces the diffusing portion 150 (inclined surface 150a) in the axial direction when mounted. The effect of the opposing arrangement of the through hole 190a and the diffusing portion 150 (inclined surface 150a) is as described in the flow rate adjusting part 290.
　前記突起３５０ｅは、パーツ筒状部３５０ｂの天部の周縁に形成されており、拡散パーツ３５０が筒状部１１０の注出口側の開口１１０ｉから挿入されて、突起３５０ｅが筒状部１１０の注出口側の端部１１０ｅに接触すると、挿入の進行が停止し、拡散パーツ３５０を所定の位置で留めることができる。 The protrusion 350e is formed on the periphery of the top part of the part cylindrical part 350b, the diffusion part 350 is inserted from the opening 110i on the spout side of the cylindrical part 110, and the protrusion 350e is injected into the cylindrical part 110. When contact is made with the end portion 110e on the outlet side, the progress of insertion is stopped, and the diffusion part 350 can be held at a predetermined position.
　また、スパウト３００は、上記したスパウト２００と同様に、貫通孔１９０ａから傾斜面１５０ａまでの距離によって、拡散範囲を調整することができる。拡散パーツ３５０において、筒状のパーツ筒状部３５０ｂの長さを調整することによって、上記した貫通孔１９０ａから傾斜面１５０ａまでの距離を変更することができる。さらに、スパウト３００の拡散パーツ３５０は、上記した流量調整パーツ２９０と同様に着脱可能であり、目的や用途に応じた仕様の異なるものを切替えて使用することもできる。 Moreover, the spout 300 can adjust the diffusion range according to the distance from the through hole 190a to the inclined surface 150a in the same manner as the spout 200 described above.

（第４実施形態）
　次に、本発明の第４実施形態に係るスパウトを、図７～図８を用いて説明する。本実施形態のスパウト４００は、拡散部１５０及び流量調整部１９０を同一パーツ上に形成し、この一体型パーツ４５０を本体部１０５に対して着脱可能としたものである。図７はスパウト４００を示す図であり、（ａ）は斜視図、（ｂ）は軸方向（Ａ－Ａ方向）断面図である。また、図８はスパウト４００において、拡散部１５０及び流量調整部１９０を備える着脱可能な一体型パーツ４５０を取り外した状態を示す斜視図であり、（ａ）は一体型パーツ４５０の上面斜視図、（ｂ）は一体型パーツ４５０の底面斜視図、（ｃ）は一体型パーツ４５０を取り外した部分の上面斜視図である。 (Fourth embodiment)
Next, a spout according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. In the spout 400 of this embodiment, the diffusing unit 150 and the flow rate adjusting unit 190 are formed on the same part, and the integrated part 450 can be attached to and detached from the main body unit 105. 7A and 7B are views showing the spout 400, where FIG. 7A is a perspective view and FIG. 7B is a cross-sectional view in the axial direction (AA direction). 8 is a perspective view showing a state in which the detachable integrated part 450 including the diffusing unit 150 and the flow rate adjusting unit 190 is removed from the spout 400, and (a) is a top perspective view of the integrated part 450. (B) is a bottom perspective view of the integrated part 450, and (c) is a top perspective view of a portion from which the integrated part 450 is removed.
　前記一体型パーツ４５０は、図８（ａ）（ｂ）に示すように、拡散部１５０と、収容物の流出を許容する貫通孔１９０ａが形成された流量調整部１９０と、拡散部１５０及び流量調整部１９０を支持するパーツ筒状部４５０ｂと、パーツ筒状部４５０ｂの天部に形成された環状の突起４５０ｅと、スパウト３００の筒状部１１０と係合する係合部４５０ｄとを備える。図７（ａ）（ｂ）に示すように、一体型パーツ４５０は、筒状部１１０の内面壁１１０ａに装着して使用する。 As shown in FIGS. 8A and 8B, the integrated part 450 includes a diffusion part 150, a flow rate adjustment part 190 in which a through-hole 190a allowing the outflow of the contents is formed, the diffusion part 150, and the flow rate. A part cylindrical part 450b that supports the adjustment part 190, an annular protrusion 450e formed on the top of the part cylindrical part 450b, and an engagement part 450d that engages with the cylindrical part 110 of the spout 300 are provided. As shown in FIGS. 7A and 7B, the integrated part 450 is used by being attached to the inner wall 110 a of the cylindrical portion 110.
　前記係合部４５０ｄは、前記パーツ筒状部４５０ｂの側壁において軸方向に形成された貫通溝であり、この貫通溝が本体の内面壁１１０ａに形成された凸部１１０ｆに係合する。一体型パーツ４５０は、係合部４５０ｄと凸部１１０ｆが係合するように筒状部１１０の注出口側（収容体側と反対側）の開口１１０ｉから挿入することによって、筒状部１１０の内面壁１１０ａに装着される。 The engaging portion 450d is a through groove formed in the axial direction on the side wall of the part cylindrical portion 450b, and this through groove engages with a convex portion 110f formed on the inner wall 110a of the main body. The integral part 450 is inserted through the opening 110i on the outlet side (opposite side of the container) of the cylindrical part 110 so that the engaging part 450d and the convex part 110f engage with each other. Attached to the face wall 110a.
　前記突起４５０ｅは、パーツ筒状部４５０ｂの天部の周縁に形成されており、一体型パーツ４５０が筒状部１１０の注出口側の開口１１０ｉから挿入されて、突起４５０ｅが筒状部１１０の注出口側の端部１１０ｅに接触すると、挿入の進行が停止し、一体型パーツ４５０を所定の位置で留めることができる。 The protrusion 450e is formed on the periphery of the top part of the cylindrical part 450b. The integral part 450 is inserted from the opening 110i on the outlet side of the cylindrical part 110, and the protrusion 450e is formed on the cylindrical part 110. When it comes into contact with the end 110e on the outlet side, the progress of the insertion is stopped, and the integrated part 450 can be held at a predetermined position.
　一体型パーツ４５０における貫通孔１９０ａは、パーツ筒状部４５０ｂを軸方向に貫通しており、装着した場合、収容物を注出する開口である注出口１３０を兼ねる。貫通孔１９０ａの注出口側の開口部には、拡散部１５０が配設されており、収容物は、拡散部１５０に覆われていない前記開口部（注出口１３０）から注出される。従って、本実施形態において拡散部１５０はパーツ筒状部４５０ｂの注出口１３０側に配設され、パーツ筒状部４５０ｂの内面壁４５０ａから収容物が通過する内部空間Ｓに向かって突出している。 The through-hole 190a in the integral part 450 penetrates the part cylindrical part 450b in the axial direction, and when attached, also serves as the spout 130 that is an opening for pouring the contents. A diffusion portion 150 is disposed in the opening on the spout side of the through-hole 190a, and the contents are poured out from the opening (spout 130) that is not covered by the diffusion portion 150. Therefore, in this embodiment, the diffusing part 150 is disposed on the side of the spout 130 of the part cylindrical part 450b, and protrudes from the inner wall 450a of the part cylindrical part 450b toward the internal space S through which the contents pass.
　また、このように貫通孔１９０ａの注出口側の開口部に、拡散部１５０が配設されることによって、貫通孔１９０ａと拡散部１５０（傾斜面１５０ａ）は軸方向において対向配置される。これによって、流量調整パーツ２９０において既述した通り（図４参照）、収容物を傾斜面１５０ａに集中させることができる。さらに、貫通孔１９０ａの形状を拡散部１５０（傾斜面１５０ａ）の平面形状に類似した形状（同一形状を含む）にすることで、収容物をより傾斜面１５０ａに集中しやすくすることが可能である。 In addition, the diffusion part 150 is disposed in the opening on the spout side of the through hole 190a in this way, so that the through hole 190a and the diffusion part 150 (the inclined surface 150a) are disposed to face each other in the axial direction. Thereby, as already described in the flow rate adjusting part 290 (see FIG. 4), the contents can be concentrated on the inclined surface 150a. Furthermore, by making the shape of the through-hole 190a similar to the planar shape of the diffusion portion 150 (inclined surface 150a) (including the same shape), it is possible to make it easier to concentrate the contents on the inclined surface 150a. is there.

In addition, the integrated part 450 can be attached to and detached from the main body unit 105 in the same manner as the flow rate adjusting part 290 and the diffusion part 350 described above, and can be used by switching those having different specifications according to the purpose and application. .
（第５実施形態）
　次に、本発明の第５実施形態に係るスパウトを、図９を用いて説明する。本実施形態のスパウト５００の本体部１０５は、筒状部１１０、流量調整部１９０、拡散部１５０、及び溶着部１７０を型によって一体形成したものである。図９はスパウト５００を示す図であり、（ａ）は斜視図、（ｂ）は軸方向（Ａ－Ａ方向）断面図、（ｃ）は上面図、（ｄ）は底面側から見た斜視図である。 (Fifth embodiment)
Next, a spout according to a fifth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. The main body 105 of the spout 500 of the present embodiment is obtained by integrally forming a cylindrical portion 110, a flow rate adjusting portion 190, a diffusing portion 150, and a welding portion 170 with a mold. 9A and 9B are views showing the spout 500, where FIG. 9A is a perspective view, FIG. 9B is a sectional view in the axial direction (AA direction), FIG. 9C is a top view, and FIG. FIG.
　前記貫通孔１９０ａと前記拡散部１５０（傾斜面１５０ａ）は軸方向において対向配置しており、さらに貫通孔１９０ａの形状は、拡散部１５０（傾斜面１５０ａ）の平面形状に類似した形状であって、これによって粒状体を傾斜面１５０ａに集中させることができる。 The through hole 190a and the diffusion part 150 (inclined surface 150a) are arranged opposite to each other in the axial direction, and the shape of the through hole 190a is similar to the planar shape of the diffusion part 150 (inclined surface 150a). Thereby, the granular material can be concentrated on the inclined surface 150a.
　スパウト５００は、筒状部１１０に、流量調整部１９０及び拡散部１５０を一体形成することによって、上述した実施形態のスパウト２００、３００、４００における本体部１００と各パーツ２９０、３５０、４５０を係合させるための構成要素が不要である。また、上記した貫通孔１９０ａと前記拡散部１５０を類似形状（同一形状を含む）にし、かつ、対向配置する構成にすることで容易に一体形成することが可能となる。具体的には、図９（ｃ）で示すように、拡散部１５０の上面形状（平面形状）は貫通孔１９０ａの大きさ以下であるため、一体形成する際の型抜きが可能となり、合成樹脂を用いると製造コストを削減できる。この場合、拡散部１５０は軸方向から見て貫通孔１９０ａの範囲内にあればその形状は適宜変形することができる。また、上述した実施形態のスパウト１００、２００、３００、４００においても、着脱可能な部分を除いては、合成樹脂で一体形成することが好ましい。 The spout 500 is formed by integrally forming the flow rate adjusting unit 190 and the diffusing unit 150 in the cylindrical part 110, thereby associating the main body part 100 and the parts 290, 350, 450 in the spouts 200, 300, 400 of the above-described embodiment. No components are required for matching. Further, the above-described through-hole 190a and the diffusing portion 150 can be easily formed integrally by adopting a similar shape (including the same shape) and facing each other. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 9C, since the upper surface shape (planar shape) of the diffusion portion 150 is equal to or smaller than the size of the through-hole 190a, the die can be removed when integrally formed, and the synthetic resin Using can reduce the manufacturing cost. In this case, the shape of the diffusing portion 150 can be appropriately modified as long as it is within the range of the through hole 190a when viewed from the axial direction. Moreover, also in the spout 100, 200, 300, 400 of embodiment mentioned above, it is preferable to integrally form with a synthetic resin except a removable part.
　図１０は、本発明に係るスパウト（一例として前記スパウト５００）を収容体に取着したスパウト付き収容体７００の一実施形態を示す。スパウト付き収容体７００は、周囲が溶着されたシート状部材間に収容物を収容する袋状の収容体本体７１０と、収容体本体７１０を構成するシート状部材間に介在して溶着されたスパウト５００と、スパウト５００の注出口１３０の密開封手段であるキャップ７５０とを有する。このようなスパウト付き収容体は、ボトル状容器に比べて柔軟性を有しているため、省スペースで使用後の廃棄性にも優れている。 FIG. 10 shows an embodiment of a container 700 with a spout in which a spout according to the present invention (for example, the spout 500 as an example) is attached to the container. The spout-equipped container 700 includes a bag-shaped container main body 710 that accommodates an object between the sheet-like members welded around the spout, and a spout that is welded between the sheet-like members constituting the container main body 710. 500 and a cap 750 that is a means for tightly opening the spout 130 of the spout 500. Such a spout-equipped container is more flexible than a bottle-like container, and thus is space-saving and excellent in discardability after use.
　前記収容体本体７１０内の収容部７１０Ａには粒状体が収容されており、使用者はキャップ７５０を取り外し、スパウト付き収容体７００を傾けて注出口１３０を散布（拡散注出）したい方向に向けることによって、上述したスパウト５００の効果により、粒状体を拡散注出することができる。実際に、スパウト付き収容体７００と、スパウト付き収容体７００においてスパウト５００のかわりに従来技術のスパウト９００を溶着した収容体を用いて、同一の粒状体の散布試験を行ったところ、高さ５０ｃｍの位置で散布した場合、前者は後者に対して約１．５倍粒状体が拡散して注出される結果が得られた。 The granular material is accommodated in the accommodating portion 710A in the accommodating body 710, and the user removes the cap 750 and tilts the spouted accommodating body 700 so that the spout 130 is sprayed (spreading out). Accordingly, the granular material can be diffused and poured out by the effect of the spout 500 described above. Actually, when a spattering test of the same granular material was performed using a spout containing body 700 and a spout containing the spout 900 of the prior art in place of the spout 500 in the spout containing body 700, a height of 50 cm was measured. In the case of spraying at the position of, the result that the former was diffused and poured out about 1.5 times as much as the latter was obtained.
　また、本発明に係るスパウト、及び、スパウト付き収容体を用いると、粒状の収容物をより広範囲に拡散しながら注出することができるため、散布の手間や時間を削減可能である。 Further, when the spout according to the present invention and the container with a spout are used, the granular container can be poured out in a wider range, so that it is possible to reduce the labor and time of spraying.
　以上、本発明の実施形態について説明してきたが、本発明は、上記した実施形態に限定されず、その要旨を逸脱しない範囲で種々変形して実施できる。例えば、前記溶着部１７０は、本発明に係るスパウトが取着される収容体の種類や収容体の開口部の形態によっては、必ずしも必要とされない。収容体がペットボトルのようなボトル形状の容器の場合、収容体の開口部は密開封手段であるスクリュー式のキャップと螺合する螺合部が形成されているため、この螺合部と螺合する溝状の凹部等を筒状部１１０の収容体側の開口に形成して、取着部としてもよい。また、スパウトと収容体の開口部を取着するための部材を別途用いる場合、本発明に係るスパウトは、収容体の開口部との取着部は有していなくても良い。 As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention has been described, this invention is not limited to above-described embodiment, In the range which does not deviate from the summary, it can implement variously. For example, the welded portion 170 is not necessarily required depending on the type of the container to which the spout according to the present invention is attached and the shape of the opening of the container. When the container is a bottle-shaped container such as a plastic bottle, the opening of the container is formed with a screwed part that is screwed with a screw-type cap that is a hermetic opening means. A groove-like concave portion or the like to be joined may be formed in the opening on the container side of the cylindrical portion 110 to be the attachment portion. Moreover, when using separately the member for attaching the opening part of a spout and a container, the spout which concerns on this invention does not need to have an attachment part with the opening part of a container.
