 例えば、引用文献1には、盲蓋32が付設されたチューブ状容器30の口栓部31に螺合されるキャップであって、チューブ状容器30の内溶液を初めて外部に取り出す際に、盲蓋32に排出通路用の孔を形成可能な穿孔具(軸部分)16が具備された穿孔具付きキャップ10が記載されている。 For example, in Cited Document 1, there is a cap that is screwed onto a mouth plug portion 31 of a tube-shaped container 30 to which a blind lid 32 is attached. A cap 10 with a piercer is described that includes a piercer (shaft portion) 16 capable of forming a hole for a discharge passage in the lid 32 .

 特許文献1に記載されているような従来の構成では、盲蓋32に孔を形成して封止を破る際、キャップ10は螺合によって、穿孔具(軸部分)16の先端が盲蓋に当接してから盲蓋32の突き破りが完了するまで(例えば、特許文献1の図5の状態から図6の状態まで)、押し込まれる。しかしながら、押し込みの際、収容されている流動物が盲蓋32に形成された開口を通り、さらに例えば口栓部31とキャップ10との間を通って外部に漏れ出す可能性がある。 In the conventional configuration as described in Patent Document 1, when a hole is formed in the blind lid 32 to break the sealing, the cap 10 is screwed so that the tip of the punch (shaft portion) 16 is attached to the blind lid. It is pushed in until the blind lid 32 is completely broken through after contact (for example, from the state shown in FIG. 5 to the state shown in FIG. 6 of Patent Document 1). However, there is a possibility that the contained fluid may leak outside through the opening formed in the blind lid 32 and further, for example, between the mouth plug portion 31 and the cap 10 when pushed.

However, the fluid containing portion 40 may be of other forms, such as a tubular container formed by injection molding or casting. The material of the film that constitutes the fluid containing portion 40 may be a resin film, a laminate film composed of a plurality of resin films, or a laminate film containing a metal film and a resin film.
 閉鎖部材42は、流動物収容部40の口部、すなわち流動物を使用時に流出させる場所に設けられている。閉鎖部材42は、流動物収容容器10を封止し且つ使用開始時に突き破り具(後述)によって破断可能なものであれば、その形態は特に限定されないが、少なくとも破断される部分がフィルム状若しくはシート状になっていることが好ましい。閉鎖部材42は、流動物収容部40の材料と同じ材料で形成されていてもよいし、異なる材料で形成されていてもよい。 The closing member 42 is provided at the mouth of the fluid container 40, that is, at a place where the fluid flows out during use. The closing member 42 is not particularly limited as long as it seals the fluid storage container 10 and can be broken by a piercing tool (described later) at the start of use, but at least the portion to be broken is a film or a sheet preferably in the form of The closing member 42 may be made of the same material as the material of the fluid containing portion 40, or may be made of a different material.

 図1及び図2に示すように、注出口構造1は、閉鎖部材42に装着された第1筒部30と、第1筒部30に被せられるように設けられる第2筒部20とを備えている。注出口構造1の軸線ALの延在方向は、第1筒部30の軸線方向でもあり、また第2筒部20の軸線方向でもある。本明細書では、注出口構造1の軸線方向で、閉鎖部材42に近い側を「下側」、その反対側、すなわち第2筒部20の開口27に近い側を「上側」と呼ぶ。 As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 , the spout structure 1 includes a first tubular portion 30 attached to the closing member 42 and a second tubular portion 20 provided to cover the first tubular portion 30 . ing. The extending direction of the axis AL of the spout structure 1 is also the axial direction of the first tubular portion 30 and the axial direction of the second tubular portion 20 . In this specification, the axial side of the spout structure 1 that is closer to the closing member 42 is referred to as the "lower side", and the opposite side, ie, the side that is closer to the opening 27 of the second tubular portion 20 is referred to as the "upper side".
 第1筒部30は、第1筒部本体31を有しており、第1筒部本体31の下端にはフランジ状の底部(基部)36が形成されている。そして、底部36の下側の面が閉鎖部材42の表面に接触して、接着されている。これにより、使用開始前の状態では、第1筒部30の下側の開口38は、閉鎖部材42によって覆われている。 The first tubular portion 30 has a first tubular portion main body 31 , and a flange-shaped bottom portion (base portion) 36 is formed at the lower end of the first tubular portion main body 31 . The lower surface of the bottom portion 36 is in contact with and adhered to the surface of the closing member 42 . As a result, the opening 38 on the lower side of the first tubular portion 30 is covered with the closing member 42 before use is started.
 第2筒部20は、第1筒部30に螺合により装着される。より具体的には、第1筒部30の外面には雄ネジ部39が形成されていて、この雄ネジ部39に、第2筒部20の内側に形成されている雌ネジ部29が係合する。第2筒部20は、第1筒部30に螺合する際、軸線方向に沿って第1筒部30に対して相対移動できる。 The second cylindrical portion 20 is attached to the first cylindrical portion 30 by screwing. More specifically, a male threaded portion 39 is formed on the outer surface of the first cylindrical portion 30 , and the female threaded portion 29 formed inside the second cylindrical portion 20 is engaged with the male threaded portion 39 . match. The second tubular portion 20 can move relative to the first tubular portion 30 along the axial direction when it is screwed into the first tubular portion 30 .
 第2筒部20は、カバー筒21と、カバー筒21の内側に配置され且つカバー筒21と上側で接続されている中空軸部22とを備えている。さらに、カバー筒21は、内面に雌ネジ部29が形成されている主部21aと、主部21aよりも内径及び外径がそれぞれ拡大した大径部21bとを有する。カバー筒21と中空軸部22との間には空間(ギャップ)が形成されていて、この空間に、第1筒部30の一部が挿入されるようになっている。また、中空軸部22は、第1筒部30の内側に挿入されるようになっている。 The second cylinder portion 20 includes a cover cylinder 21 and a hollow shaft portion 22 arranged inside the cover cylinder 21 and connected to the cover cylinder 21 on the upper side. Further, the cover cylinder 21 has a main portion 21a having a female threaded portion 29 formed on the inner surface thereof, and a large diameter portion 21b having an inner diameter and an outer diameter larger than those of the main portion 21a. A space (gap) is formed between the cover tube 21 and the hollow shaft portion 22, and a part of the first tube portion 30 is inserted into this space. Further, the hollow shaft portion 22 is adapted to be inserted inside the first tubular portion 30 .
 第2筒部20の中空軸部22の内側には軸線方向に沿った通路が形成されており、この通路を通して流動物を、流動物収容容器10からその外部へと注出若しくは流出できる。図2に示すように、中空軸部22は、外径がより大きい上部22aと、上部22aより外径が小さい下部22bとを備えている。また、中空軸部22の下側の面は、軸線方向に直交する面に対して傾斜している。すなわち、軸線方向に直交する面に対して傾斜して切られた状態になっている。これにより、中空軸部22の下側の先端である下先端22sが形成されており、この下先端22sは、任意の平面を接近させた場合に当該平面に点で若しくは小面積で接触可能となっている。このような下先端22sを有する中空軸部22によって、閉鎖部材42を突き破ることができる突き破り具として機能する。 A passage along the axial direction is formed inside the hollow shaft portion 22 of the second tubular portion 20, and the fluid can be poured out or flowed out of the fluid storage container 10 through this passage. As shown in FIG. 2, the hollow shaft portion 22 has an upper portion 22a with a larger outer diameter and a lower portion 22b with a smaller outer diameter than the upper portion 22a. In addition, the lower surface of the hollow shaft portion 22 is inclined with respect to a surface orthogonal to the axial direction. That is, it is cut at an angle to a plane orthogonal to the axial direction. As a result, a lower tip 22s, which is a tip on the lower side of the hollow shaft portion 22, is formed, and when an arbitrary plane is brought closer, the lower tip 22s can contact the plane at a point or in a small area. It's becoming The hollow shaft portion 22 having such a lower tip 22s functions as a piercing tool that can pierce the closing member 42. As shown in FIG.
 なお、第2筒部20において、カバー筒21及び中空軸部22の上側には、延長筒部25が形成されている。延長筒部25内の軸線方向の通路は、中空軸部22内の通路に連通しているので、突き破り動作を経た後に使用者が流動物を取り出そうとする際には、流動物は中空軸部22を通って、続いて延長筒部25を通り、注出口構造1の外へと流出される。なお、第2筒部20にディスペンサ機構が接続されている場合、流動物収容部40内に収容されていた流動物は、本形態による注出口構造1、及び続いてディスペンサ機構を介して、吐出装置の外へと吐出される。図示の例では、延長筒部25の内径は、中空軸部22の内径(中空軸部22の上端での内径)よりも大きくなっていて、これにより、開口27からの吐出がスムーズに行われるようになっているが、延長筒部25の内径は中空軸部22の内径と同じになっていてもよい。 In addition, in the second tubular portion 20 , an extended tubular portion 25 is formed above the cover tubular 21 and the hollow shaft portion 22 . Since the axial passage in the extension tube portion 25 communicates with the passage in the hollow shaft portion 22, when the user tries to take out the fluid after the piercing action, the fluid will pass through the hollow shaft. 22 and then through the extension tube 25 and out of the spout structure 1 . In addition, when the dispenser mechanism is connected to the second cylindrical portion 20, the fluid contained in the fluid container 40 is discharged through the spout structure 1 according to the present embodiment and subsequently through the dispenser mechanism. It is discharged out of the device. In the illustrated example, the inner diameter of the extension cylinder portion 25 is larger than the inner diameter of the hollow shaft portion 22 (the inner diameter at the upper end of the hollow shaft portion 22), so that the discharge from the opening 27 is performed smoothly. However, the inner diameter of the extension cylinder portion 25 may be the same as the inner diameter of the hollow shaft portion 22 .
 第1筒部30及び第2筒部20を構成する材料は特に限定されないが、樹脂であると好ましい。樹脂の具体例としては、ポリエチレン(PE)、ポリプロピレン(PP)、ポリエチレンテレフタレート(PET)、ポリブチレンテレフタレート(PBT)、ポリスチレン(PS)、及びポリ乳酸(PLA)、並びにこれらの組合せが挙げられる。第1筒部30及び第2筒部20に使用される樹脂は同じであってもよいし、異なる樹脂であってもよい。 Although the material forming the first cylindrical portion 30 and the second cylindrical portion 20 is not particularly limited, it is preferably resin. Specific examples of resins include polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), polystyrene (PS), and polylactic acid (PLA), and combinations thereof. The resins used for the first tubular portion 30 and the second tubular portion 20 may be the same, or may be different resins.
 次に、本形態による注出口構造1の動作及び機能について説明する。既に参照した図2には、注出口構造1の、流動物の使用開始前の状態が示されている。この使用開始前の状態では、第2筒部20は第1筒部30に部分的に被せられているが、まだ螺合されていない。そして、第2筒部20の中空軸部22は、第1筒部30内に配置されているが、下先端22sは閉鎖部材42には到達していない。また、図示の例では、中空軸部22の上部22aの下端部が、第1筒部30の上縁37に達しているか、若しくは上縁37と軸線方向でわずかに重なっている。 Next, the operation and function of the spout structure 1 according to this embodiment will be described. FIG. 2, already referred to, shows the spout structure 1 in a state prior to the start of use of the fluid. In this state before the start of use, the second tubular portion 20 partially covers the first tubular portion 30, but is not yet screwed together. The hollow shaft portion 22 of the second tubular portion 20 is arranged inside the first tubular portion 30 , but the lower tip 22 s does not reach the closing member 42 . In the illustrated example, the lower end of the upper portion 22a of the hollow shaft portion 22 reaches the upper edge 37 of the first cylindrical portion 30 or slightly overlaps the upper edge 37 in the axial direction.
 図2に示す状態から、第2筒部20を第1筒部30に対して相対回転することで、カバー筒21の主部21aの内面に形成された雌ネジ部29と、第1筒部本体31の外面に形成された雄ネジ部39とがねじ係合し始める。そして、第2筒部20を引き続き回転させることで、第2筒部20が軸線方向に、閉鎖部材42に近付くように移動する。図4に、第2筒部20の中空軸部22の下先端22sが閉鎖部材42に接した状態を示す。 By rotating the second cylindrical portion 20 relative to the first cylindrical portion 30 from the state shown in FIG. A male screw portion 39 formed on the outer surface of the main body 31 begins to be threadedly engaged. Then, by continuing to rotate the second tubular portion 20 , the second tubular portion 20 moves in the axial direction so as to approach the closing member 42 . FIG. 4 shows a state in which the lower end 22s of the hollow shaft portion 22 of the second tubular portion 20 is in contact with the closing member 42. As shown in FIG.
 図4に示す状態から、さらに第2筒部20を回転することで下側に向かって移動させると、第2筒部20の中空軸部(突き破り具)22が閉鎖部材42を突き破り、閉鎖部材42に切れ込みが入る(図6)。上述のように、中空軸部22の下端部は、軸線方向に直交する面を有するのではなく軸線方向に直交する面に対して斜めに切られた面を有し、下先端22sが形成されているので、圧力が集中しやすい。そのため、フィルムを含む閉鎖部材42であれば、中空軸部22によって容易に突き破ることができる。 From the state shown in FIG. 4, when the second cylindrical portion 20 is further rotated to move downward, the hollow shaft portion (breaking tool) 22 of the second cylindrical portion 20 breaks through the closing member 42, and the closing member A notch is made at 42 (Fig. 6). As described above, the lower end portion of the hollow shaft portion 22 does not have a surface orthogonal to the axial direction, but has a surface cut obliquely to the surface orthogonal to the axial direction, and the lower tip 22s is formed. It is easy to concentrate pressure. Therefore, the closing member 42 containing a film can be easily broken through by the hollow shaft portion 22 .
 また、上述のように、中空軸部22は、外径の異なる上部22a及び下部22bを備えており、カバー筒21との接続位置に近い上部22aの外径が大きくなっているので、中空軸部22による閉鎖部材42の突き破り動作をより安定させることができる。一方、閉鎖部材42に接触し、閉鎖部材42の突き破りの初期動作を実際に行う下部22bの外径がより小さくなっているので、突き破りの際の圧力をより確実に高めることができ、好ましい。なお、上部22a及び下部22bの内径は同じであり、より具体的には中空軸部22に形成された流動物のための通路の径は一定となっている。しかし、流動物を注出させる注出口構造1の機能を妨げないのであれば、流動物の特性、注出の形式等によっては、上部22a及び下部22bの内径は途中で変化していてもよい。 Further, as described above, the hollow shaft portion 22 includes the upper portion 22a and the lower portion 22b having different outer diameters. The breakthrough operation of the closing member 42 by the portion 22 can be made more stable. On the other hand, since the outer diameter of the lower portion 22b, which contacts the closing member 42 and actually performs the initial movement of breaking through the closing member 42, is smaller, the pressure at the time of breaking through can be increased more reliably, which is preferable. The inner diameters of the upper portion 22a and the lower portion 22b are the same, and more specifically, the diameter of the passage for the fluid formed in the hollow shaft portion 22 is constant. However, the inner diameters of the upper portion 22a and the lower portion 22b may change along the way depending on the characteristics of the fluid, the type of pouring, etc., as long as the function of the spout structure 1 for pouring out the fluid is not hindered. .
 図6に示す状態は、第2筒部20を回転させて下側に向かって移動させ、中空軸部22による閉鎖部材42の突き破りが終了した状態である。閉鎖部材42の切れ込みは大きくなり、閉鎖部材42には穴が形成されている。 The state shown in FIG. 6 is a state in which the second tubular portion 20 is rotated and moved downward, and the breakthrough of the closing member 42 by the hollow shaft portion 22 is completed. The notch in the closing member 42 is enlarged and a hole is formed in the closing member 42 .
 第2筒部20が閉鎖部材42を突き破りながら下方に進む間、すなわち図4に示す状態から図6に示す状態に移行する際、流動物収容部40(図3)内に収容されていた流動物は、閉鎖部材42の破断部分(閉鎖部材42に形成された穴)を通って注出口構造1へと漏れ出てくる可能性がある。例えば、第2筒部20を第1筒部30に対して相対回転させている間に、使用者が、意図せずとも流動物収容容器10自体を動かしたり、流動物収容容器10に衝撃若しくは圧を加えたりすることがある。そうすると、流動物が流動物収容部40から閉鎖部材42を通って注出口構造内に侵入してしまうことがある。注出口構造内に流動物が入ってしまった場合、従来の構成による注出口構造では、流動物は注出口構造内を通って外部に流出若しくは排出されてしまうことがあった。例えば、第2筒部の中空軸部と第1筒部との間を通って、さらにカバー筒と第1筒部との螺合部分を通って外部に流出若しくは排出されてしまうことがあった。 While the second tubular portion 20 breaks through the closing member 42 and advances downward, that is, when the state shown in FIG. 4 changes to the state shown in FIG. An animal may leak out into the spout structure 1 through a break in the closure member 42 (a hole formed in the closure member 42). For example, while the second tubular portion 20 is relatively rotated with respect to the first tubular portion 30, the user unintentionally moves the fluid storage container 10 itself, or impacts or impacts the fluid storage container 10. Sometimes pressure is applied. As a result, the fluid may enter the spout structure from the fluid containing portion 40 through the closing member 42 . When fluid enters the spout structure, the fluid may flow out or be discharged to the outside through the spout structure in the spout structure of the conventional configuration. For example, it may flow out or be discharged to the outside through the space between the hollow shaft portion of the second tubular portion and the first tubular portion, and further through the threaded portion between the cover tubular portion and the first tubular portion. .
 これに対し、本形態では、第2筒部20と第1筒部30との間に密な係合TSが形成されている。このような第2筒部20と第1筒部30との間の密な係合によって、流動物が第2筒部20と第1筒部30との間を通って外部に出ることを防止できる。より具体的には、第2筒部20の中空軸部22(上部22a)に、中空軸部22の外周面から突出した凸部22pが形成されていて、この凸部22pが第1筒部30の内周面と密着し、密係合TSが形成される(図4)。これにより、流動物が注出口構造1内に入ったとしても、凸部22pが形成されている位置にて流動物の流れを阻止できる。図5に、図4における密係合TSが形成された部分の拡大図を示す。 On the other hand, in this embodiment, a tight engagement TS is formed between the second tubular portion 20 and the first tubular portion 30 . Such close engagement between the second tubular portion 20 and the first tubular portion 30 prevents the fluid from passing between the second tubular portion 20 and the first tubular portion 30 to the outside. can. More specifically, the hollow shaft portion 22 (upper portion 22a) of the second cylindrical portion 20 is formed with a convex portion 22p that protrudes from the outer peripheral surface of the hollow shaft portion 22, and the convex portion 22p serves as the first cylindrical portion. 30 and the tight engagement TS is formed (FIG. 4). Thereby, even if the fluid enters the spout structure 1, the flow of the fluid can be blocked at the position where the protrusion 22p is formed. FIG. 5 shows an enlarged view of the portion where the close engagement TS is formed in FIG.
 図5に示すように、凸部22pは、上面視で若しくは断面で見て、第1筒部30の内周面の位置よりもわずかに径方向外方に突出する大きさであってよい。これにより、第2筒部20が下側に進行する際に、第2筒部20が第1筒部30の開口に圧入される。なお、凸部22pの高さ(周面から凸部22pの頂部までの長さ)は、第2筒部20及び/又は第1筒部30の材料、寸法等にもよるが、中空軸部22の外周面から、好ましくは0.01~0.5mm、より好ましくは0.03~0.3mmであってよい。 As shown in FIG. 5, the protrusion 22p may have a size that slightly protrudes radially outward from the position of the inner peripheral surface of the first tubular portion 30 when viewed from above or in cross section. As a result, the second tubular portion 20 is press-fitted into the opening of the first tubular portion 30 when the second tubular portion 20 moves downward. The height of the convex portion 22p (the length from the peripheral surface to the top of the convex portion 22p) depends on the material, dimensions, etc. of the second cylindrical portion 20 and/or the first cylindrical portion 30, but the hollow shaft portion 22, preferably 0.01 to 0.5 mm, more preferably 0.03 to 0.3 mm.
 凸部22pは、中空軸部22の外周面にわたって連続して形成されていてよい。すなわち、凸部22pは、中空軸部22の周方向にわたって形成された環状凸部になっていてよい。これにより、流動物の漏れを周方向にわたって防ぐことができる。また、この環状凸部は、軸線方向に直交する面に沿って形成されていることが好ましい。 The convex portion 22p may be formed continuously over the outer peripheral surface of the hollow shaft portion 22. That is, the convex portion 22p may be an annular convex portion formed along the circumferential direction of the hollow shaft portion 22 . Thereby, leakage of the fluid can be prevented over the circumferential direction. Moreover, it is preferable that the annular convex portion is formed along a plane orthogonal to the axial direction.
 第2筒部20が第1筒部30に対して軸線方向に進行する動作において(図2、図4及び図6)、凸部22pと第1筒部30とが接触するタイミング、好ましくは密係合TSを形成するタイミングは、少なくとも中空軸部22が閉鎖部材42を突き破り始めるタイミングであってよく、中空軸部22(下先端22s)が閉鎖部材42に接触する時点としてもよい(図4)。閉鎖部材42が突き破り始めるタイミングは、閉鎖部材42の材質、下先端22sの形状、及び第1筒部30の下側の開口38の径によって決まる。なお、凸部22pの頂部から中空軸部22の下端(下先端22s)までの軸線方向の長さは、第1筒部30の長さ、すなわち上縁37から底部36の下側の面まで(閉鎖部材42の上面まで)の長さ以下としてもよいし、第1筒部30の長さに大凡等しい若しくは等しくしてもよい。また、凸部22pを、閉鎖部材42の突き破りが開始するタイミングで若しくはその直前に密係合TSが形成されるような位置に形成しておくことで、注出口構造1内での圧力の上昇を防止できるので、動作を円滑にできるという観点から好ましい。 When the second cylindrical portion 20 advances in the axial direction with respect to the first cylindrical portion 30 (FIGS. 2, 4 and 6), the timing at which the convex portion 22p and the first cylindrical portion 30 contact, preferably closely The timing of forming the engagement TS may be at least the timing when the hollow shaft portion 22 begins to break through the closing member 42, or may be the timing when the hollow shaft portion 22 (lower tip 22s) contacts the closing member 42 (FIG. 4). ). The timing at which the closing member 42 starts breaking through is determined by the material of the closing member 42 , the shape of the lower tip 22 s, and the diameter of the opening 38 on the lower side of the first tubular portion 30 . The length in the axial direction from the top of the convex portion 22p to the lower end (lower tip 22s) of the hollow shaft portion 22 is the length of the first tubular portion 30, that is, from the upper edge 37 to the lower surface of the bottom portion 36. It may be less than or equal to the length (to the upper surface of the closure member 42), or may be approximately equal or equal to the length of the first tubular portion 30. In addition, by forming the convex portion 22p at a position such that the close engagement TS is formed at the timing when the closing member 42 starts breaking through or just before that, the pressure in the spout structure 1 increases. This is preferable from the viewpoint of smooth operation.
 図2及び図4~図6に示す形態では、凸部22pは中空軸部22(第2筒部20)と一体的に成形されているが、第1筒部30と密係合TSを形成できるのであれば、凸部22pは中空軸部22と別体として形成してもよい。また、凸部22pは、図2、図4及び図5に示すように軸線方向で見て1箇所であってもよいし、軸線方向で複数設けられていてもよい。 2 and FIGS. 4 to 6, the convex portion 22p is formed integrally with the hollow shaft portion 22 (the second cylindrical portion 20), but forms a close engagement TS with the first cylindrical portion 30. If possible, the convex portion 22p may be formed separately from the hollow shaft portion 22 . Moreover, as shown in FIGS. 2, 4 and 5, the convex portion 22p may be provided at one position when viewed in the axial direction, or may be provided at a plurality of positions in the axial direction.
 なお、第2筒部20の第1筒部30に対する相対移動の際、第2筒部20の下方への移動限界は、第2筒部20のカバー筒21と中空軸部22との接続部分の下側が第1筒部30の上縁37に当接するまでであってよい。別の言い方をすると、第1筒部30の上縁37がストッパとなって、第2筒部20がそれ以上下方へ進まないようになっている。第2筒部20のカバー筒21と中空軸部22との接続部分の下側には、パッキン(Oリング)、又は弾性リング部材50が設けられていることが好ましい(図2、図4、及び図6)。その場合、第2筒部20は、第1筒部30の上縁37が弾性リング部材50に当接するまで下方に移動することができる。 When the second cylindrical portion 20 moves relative to the first cylindrical portion 30, the downward movement limit of the second cylindrical portion 20 is the connection portion between the cover cylinder 21 and the hollow shaft portion 22 of the second cylindrical portion 20. may be up to contacting the upper edge 37 of the first tubular portion 30 . In other words, the upper edge 37 of the first tubular portion 30 acts as a stopper to prevent the second tubular portion 20 from proceeding further downward. It is preferable that a packing (O-ring) or an elastic ring member 50 is provided on the lower side of the connecting portion between the cover cylinder 21 and the hollow shaft portion 22 of the second cylinder portion 20 (FIGS. 2, 4, 4 and 5). and FIG. 6). In that case, the second tubular portion 20 can move downward until the upper edge 37 of the first tubular portion 30 abuts against the elastic ring member 50 .
 また、第1筒部30には、雄ネジ部39よりも下側の位置に、第1筒部30の外周面から径方向に突出する制限部材35が形成されていてよい(図1~図4、図6)。この制限部材35は、第2筒部20が下方に進行すると、カバー筒21の主部21aと大径部21bとの間に形成されている段部22cの下側の面に当接するので、当接した時点で、第2筒部20それ以上下方に移動できなくなる。よって、制限部材35も、第2筒部20の進行を止めるストッパとして働くことができる。なお、制限部材35が段部22cの下面に当接する前に、第1筒部30の上縁37が弾性リング部材50に当接するが、制限部材35があることで、弾性リング部材50に過度な負荷がかかることを防止できる。 A limiting member 35 projecting radially from the outer peripheral surface of the first cylindrical portion 30 may be formed in the first cylindrical portion 30 at a position lower than the male screw portion 39 (see FIGS. 1 to 4). 4, Fig. 6). When the second cylindrical portion 20 moves downward, the restricting member 35 comes into contact with the lower surface of the stepped portion 22c formed between the main portion 21a and the large diameter portion 21b of the cover cylinder 21. At the point of contact, the second tubular portion 20 cannot move further downward. Therefore, the restricting member 35 can also act as a stopper that stops the advancement of the second tubular portion 20 . The upper edge 37 of the first cylindrical portion 30 contacts the elastic ring member 50 before the limit member 35 contacts the lower surface of the stepped portion 22c. can prevent excessive load.
 なお、閉鎖部材42は、流動物収容部40の一部として形成されたフィルム状若しくはシート状の部材であってよい。閉鎖部材42は、例えば、金属薄膜シートであってよく、アルミ積層シート等であってよい。また、フィルム状若しくはシート状の閉鎖部材42は、平坦になっていてもよいし、湾曲していてカップ状になっていてもよい。 The closing member 42 may be a film-like or sheet-like member formed as part of the fluid containing portion 40 . The closing member 42 may be, for example, a metal thin film sheet, an aluminum laminate sheet, or the like. Also, the film-like or sheet-like closure member 42 may be flat or may be curved and cup-shaped.
 図7に、第2筒部と第1筒部との密係合TSの変形例を示す。図7に示す注出口構造201は、図2及び図4~図6を参照して説明した例による注出口構造1と基本的な構成は同様である。注出口構造201は、閉鎖部材42に対して位置固定されている第1筒部230と、第1筒部230に螺合され、第1筒部230に対して軸線方向に相対移動可能な第2筒部220とを備えている。第2筒部220が、カバー筒221と中空軸部222とを有する点、中空軸部222が閉鎖部材42を突き破り可能である点等も、注出口構造1(図2及び図4~図6)と同様である。しかしながら、注出口構造201では、密係合TSが、中空軸部から突出した凸部と第1筒部とによって形成されるのではなく、第1筒部230の内周面から突出した凸部231pと、第2筒部220の中空軸部222とによって形成されているという点で、注出口構造1と異なる。図8に、図7の密係合TSの部分の拡大図を示す。 FIG. 7 shows a modification of the close engagement TS between the second tubular portion and the first tubular portion. The spout structure 201 shown in FIG. 7 has the same basic configuration as the spout structure 1 according to the example described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 4-6. The spout structure 201 includes a first tubular portion 230 that is positionally fixed with respect to the closing member 42 , and a first tubular portion 230 that is screwed into the first tubular portion 230 and is axially movable relative to the first tubular portion 230 . 2 cylinder part 220 is provided. The points that the second cylindrical portion 220 has a cover cylinder 221 and a hollow shaft portion 222, that the hollow shaft portion 222 can break through the closing member 42, etc. ). However, in the spout structure 201, the tight engagement TS is not formed by the convex portion protruding from the hollow shaft portion and the first cylindrical portion, but by the convex portion protruding from the inner peripheral surface of the first cylindrical portion 230. 231p and the hollow shaft portion 222 of the second tubular portion 220, which is different from the spout structure 1. As shown in FIG. FIG. 8 shows an enlarged view of the tight engagement TS portion of FIG.
 図7及び図8に示す凸部231pは、注出口構造1における上述の凸部22p(図2及び図4~図6)と同様に、第1筒部230の内周面に周方向にわたって形成された環状凸部であってよい。そして、凸部231pは、上面視で若しくは断面で見て、第2筒部220の外周面の位置よりもわずかに径方向内方に突出する大きさであってよい。これにより、第2筒部220が下側に進行する際に、第2筒部220と第1筒部230とが圧入により係合する。このような密係合TSが形成されることで、流動物が注出口構造201に侵入した場合にも、密係合TSの位置にて流動物が阻止され、流動物が注出口構造201から外部に漏れることを防止できる。なお、凸部231p(若しくは凸部231pの頂部)の軸線方向の位置は、閉鎖部材42の突き破りが開始されるタイミング若しくはそのタイミング前に中空軸部222の外周面と密な係合を形成することができるのであれば、第1筒部30のどの位置にあってもよい。 The convex portion 231p shown in FIGS. 7 and 8 is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the first cylindrical portion 230 in the circumferential direction in the same manner as the above-described convex portion 22p (FIGS. 2 and 4 to 6) in the spout structure 1. It may be an annular protrusion that is rounded. The protrusion 231p may have a size that slightly protrudes radially inward from the position of the outer peripheral surface of the second cylindrical portion 220 when viewed from above or in cross section. As a result, when the second tubular portion 220 moves downward, the second tubular portion 220 and the first tubular portion 230 are press-fitted into engagement. By forming such a close engagement TS, even if the fluid enters the spout structure 201, the fluid is blocked at the position of the close engagement TS, and the fluid flows out of the spout structure 201. It can prevent leakage to the outside. The axial position of the convex portion 231p (or the top portion of the convex portion 231p) forms close engagement with the outer peripheral surface of the hollow shaft portion 222 at or before the timing when the closing member 42 starts breaking through. It may be located at any position on the first tubular portion 30 as long as it is possible.
 図9に、第2筒部と第1筒部との密係合TSの別の変形例を示す。図9に示す注出口構造301は、上述の注出口構造1(図2及び図4~図6)と基本的な構成は同様である。注出口構造301は、閉鎖部材42に対して位置固定されている第1筒部330と、第1筒部330に螺合され、第1筒部330に対して軸線方向に相対移動可能な第2筒部320とを備えている。第2筒部320が、カバー筒321と中空軸部322とを有する点、中空軸部322が閉鎖部材42を突き破り可能である点等も、注出口構造1と同様である。しかしながら、注出口構造301では、密係合TSが形成される場所は、中空軸部322と第1筒部330との間ではなく、第2筒部320のうちカバー筒321と第1筒部330との間である点で、注出口構造1と異なる。図10に、図9の密係合TSの部分の拡大図を示す。 FIG. 9 shows another modified example of the tight engagement TS between the second tubular portion and the first tubular portion. The spout structure 301 shown in FIG. 9 has the same basic configuration as the spout structure 1 (FIGS. 2 and 4 to 6) described above. The spout structure 301 includes a first tubular portion 330 that is positionally fixed with respect to the closing member 42 , and a first tubular portion 330 that is screwed into the first tubular portion 330 and is axially movable relative to the first tubular portion 330 . 2 cylinder part 320 is provided. The point that the second cylinder part 320 has the cover cylinder 321 and the hollow shaft part 322, the point that the hollow shaft part 322 can break through the closing member 42, and the like are the same as those of the spout structure 1. However, in the spout structure 301, the tight engagement TS is formed not between the hollow shaft portion 322 and the first tubular portion 330, but between the cover tubular portion 321 and the first tubular portion of the second tubular portion 320. 330 is different from the spout structure 1 . FIG. 10 shows an enlarged view of the tight engagement TS portion of FIG.
 より具体的には、第2筒部320のカバー筒321の主部321aの内周面に形成された凸部321pと、第1筒部30の外周面とが係合するようになっている。このような密係合TSによって、凸部321pが形成されている位置にて流動物の流動が抑制され。流動物が注出口構造301に侵入した場合にも、流動物が注出口構造301の外に漏れることを防止できる。 More specifically, the convex portion 321p formed on the inner peripheral surface of the main portion 321a of the cover tube 321 of the second tubular portion 320 is engaged with the outer peripheral surface of the first tubular portion 30. . Due to such close engagement TS, the flow of the fluid is suppressed at the position where the convex portion 321p is formed. Even if the fluid enters the spout structure 301 , it is possible to prevent the fluid from leaking out of the spout structure 301 .
 第1筒部30の外周面には、雄ネジ部339が形成されているので、凸部321pは、第1筒部30の外周面の雄ネジ部339が形成されていない領域、例えば雄ネジ部339が形成されている領域よりも上側に形成することが好ましい。 Since the male threaded portion 339 is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the first cylindrical portion 30, the convex portion 321p is formed in an area where the male threaded portion 339 is not formed on the outer peripheral surface of the first cylindrical portion 30, for example, a male thread. It is preferable to form it above the region where the portion 339 is formed.
 図9及び図10に示す例では、密係合TSがカバー筒321と第1筒部330とによって形成されるので、第2筒部320のうち力が掛かりやすいのはカバー筒321となり、中空軸部322には力が掛かりにくい。よって、本例は、閉鎖部材42の突き破りの際に、中空軸部322の位置がズレること等を防止でき、閉鎖部材42に安定して圧力を掛けることができ、突き破りの動作がスムーズになるという点で、好ましい。 In the example shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the close engagement TS is formed by the cover tube 321 and the first tube portion 330, so that the force is likely to be applied to the cover tube 321 among the second tube portions 320. Force is less likely to be applied to the shaft portion 322 . Therefore, in this example, when the closing member 42 is broken through, the position of the hollow shaft portion 322 can be prevented from being displaced, pressure can be stably applied to the closing member 42, and the break-through operation becomes smooth. In that respect, it is preferable.
 第1筒部と第2筒部との間の密係合の形態は、第1筒部と第2筒部との間で流動物の流出を防止できる密な係合が形成できるのであれば、上述の例に限定されない。例えば、注出口構造301において、第2筒部320のカバー筒321の側の凸部が形成されるのではなく、第1筒部330の外周面に凸部が形成されていてもよい。 The form of the close engagement between the first tubular portion and the second tubular portion is such that a close engagement capable of preventing outflow of the fluid can be formed between the first tubular portion and the second tubular portion. , is not limited to the above examples. For example, in the spout structure 301 , a convex portion may be formed on the outer peripheral surface of the first cylindrical portion 330 instead of forming the convex portion on the cover cylinder 321 side of the second cylindrical portion 320 .
 また、注出口構造(1、201、301)において、カバー筒(32、221、321)のうち主部(21a、221a、321a)ではなく大径部(21b、221b、321b)の内周面と、制限部材(35、235、351)との間で密な係合が形成されていてもよい。但し、その場合、閉鎖部材42の突き破り動作の間、大径部(21b、221b、321b)と制限部材(35、235、351)とが接触を続けられるように大径部(21b、221b、321b)の長さを調整することができる。 In addition, in the spout structure (1, 201, 301), the inner peripheral surface of the large diameter portion (21b, 221b, 321b) of the cover cylinder (32, 221, 321) is not the main portion (21a, 221a, 321a). and a restrictive member (35, 235, 351). However, in that case, the large diameter portions (21b, 221b, 221b, 221b, 221b, 221b, 221b, 221b, 221b, 221b, 221b, 221b, 221b, 221b, 221b, 221b, 221b, 221b, 221b, 221b, 221b, 221b, 221b, 221b, 221b, 221b, 221b, 221b, 221b, 221b, 221b, 221b, 221b, 221b, 221b, 221b, 221b) 321b) can be adjusted.
 以上、具体的な実施形態について説明したが、これらの実施形態によって本発明が限定されることはない。また、上記に例示した実施形態における特徴は、組み合わせて用いることもできる。 Although specific embodiments have been described above, the present invention is not limited by these embodiments. Also, the features of the embodiments illustrated above can be used in combination.
