Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a squeeze container in which a highly viscose content liquid is easily moved. <P>SOLUTION: This squeeze container is provided with a container body 1 filled with a highly viscose content liquid to enable the liquid to be squeezed in a barrel and a discharge plug 2 removably mounted to a mouth 1a of the barrel. The plug comprises an annular side wall 2a which is fit to the mouth of the container by being screwed on or by an undercut and a top face wall 2b jointly connected to the top end of the side wall with an open hole 2c for discharging the content liquid in the barrel to the outside. The top face wall is provided with a feeding tube 4 whose tip extends to the bottom 1b or the neighborhood of the bottom of the barrel for introducing external air into the container barrel. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT

Description

  The present invention relates to a squeeze container that enables the content liquid to be poured out by pressing and deforming the body portion of the container body, and in particular, is intended to reliably discharge the high-viscosity content liquid.

A squeeze-type container that discharges the liquid by pressing and displacing the torso of the container body is widely used as a relatively small container that is filled with treatments, hair styling agents, shampoos, rinses, etc. (see, for example, Patent Document 1) However, especially in the case where the content liquid has a high viscosity, the flow in the container is slow, and in some cases, it is often difficult to discharge the content liquid, and an improvement in this regard is desired. It was.
Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 5-70410

  The subject of this invention exists in the place which proposes the squeeze container which can be reliably discharged | emitted even if it is a highly viscous content liquid by moving to the opening | mouth of a container.

The present invention is a squeeze container comprising a container body that is filled with a high-viscosity content liquid and that can be squeezed at the body part, and a spout plug that is detachably attached to the mouth of the container body. And
The spout has an annular side wall that is engaged with the mouth of the container by screwing or undercut, and an opening that is integrally connected to the upper end of the side wall and discharges the content liquid in the container body to the outside. Consisting of the top wall,
The squeeze container is characterized in that a supply pipe for introducing outside air into the container body is provided on the top surface wall and has a tip extending to the bottom of the container body or a region near the bottom.

  In the squeeze container having the above-described configuration, the air supply pipe is capable of preventing the inflow of the content liquid at the tip thereof, and allowing a slit, a check valve, or the outside air to pass only the outside air into the container body. It is preferable to provide a permeable membrane.

  In addition, the pouring tap can be provided with a lid body that can be opened and closed via a hinge. In this case, the lid body is fitted with an opening and a mouth portion of a feed pipe so that they are fitted. It is desirable to provide a convex portion for sealing.

  A feeding pipe having a tip extending to the bottom of the container body or a region near the bottom is provided on the top wall of the spout, and the outside and the inside of the container body are electrically connected by the feeding pipe so that the outside air (air) is supplied to the container. Since the liquid is fed inward, the liquid content can be easily discharged by squeeze even if the liquid content has a high viscosity.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described more specifically with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of a squeeze container according to the present invention.
In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a container body that enables a rescue drawing at the body part, and 2 denotes a spout that is detachably engaged with the mouth part 1a of the container body 1 by screws or undercuts.

  The spout 2 includes an annular side wall 2a that surrounds the mouth 1a of the container body 1, and a top wall 2b that is integrally connected (integrated) to the upper end of the annular side wall 2a. An opening 2c for discharging the content liquid inside to the outside and an opening 2d connected to a feed pipe (described later) are formed.

  Reference numeral 3 denotes a lid provided on the spout 2 so as to be opened and closed via a hinge h. The lid 3 has convex portions 3a and 3b that are fitted and sealed in the openings 2b and 2c.

Further, reference numeral 4 denotes a feed pipe having a structure that extends to the bottom 1b of the container body 1 or a region near the bottom 1b and has its tip closed by welding. The feed pipe 4 has a slit S on the peripheral wall at the tip, and its upper end is fitted into a recess 2b ₁ provided on the back surface of the top wall 2b, and allows outside air (air) to pass through the opening 2d. It can be fed into the container body 1.

  In squeeze containers filled with high-viscosity content liquid, even if the container is tilted and shaken, the content liquid often remains at the bottom of the container and could not be easily discharged. In the squeeze container according to the present invention, the atmosphere (air) enters the container main body 1 through the feed pipe 4, so that the content liquid in the container moves smoothly to the mouth 1a of the container as shown in FIGS. It will be.

As shown in FIG. 2, a horizontal slit S is provided at the tip of the feed pipe 4, but the main part thereof is a slit with an inclination as shown in FIGS. S ₁ , vertical slits S ₂ or a plurality of circular openings S ₃ may be provided, and various changes can be made in this respect.

  In addition, as shown in FIGS. 5 (a) and 5 (b), a check valve 5 (three-point valve, etc.) may be provided instead of a slit or an opening, or a permeable membrane 6 that allows air to pass therethrough is provided. May be.

  It is possible to provide a squeeze container that can move the liquid in the container to the mouth without regard to the viscosity level.

It is the figure which showed embodiment of the squeeze container according to this invention. FIG. 2 is a view showing a use state of the container shown in FIG. FIG. 2 is a view showing a use state of the container shown in FIG. (A)-(c) is the principal part enlarged view of a feed pipe. (A) (b) is the principal part enlarged view of a feed pipe.
