I have. The large-diameter portion 1x has a shape whose outer periphery is slightly tapered toward the tip, and the opening 1a at the tip is an opening for causing the rod-like object M to appear.
図16に示すように、小径部1yの後端部の内周面には、環状凹凸部1bが、回転部材10の環状凸凹部10dに軸線方向に係合するものとして設けられていると共に、この環状凹凸部1bより前側の内周面には、周方向に多数の凹凸部が並設されて当該凹凸部が軸線方向に所定長延びるローレット1cが、回転部材10の突条10eに回転方向に係合するものとして設けられ、さらに、このローレット1cより前側の内周面には、後側に開放されて短尺に先端側に向かう空気抜き溝1iが、通気部として設けられている。
As shown in FIG. 16, on the inner peripheral surface of the rear end portion of the small-diameter portion 1y, an annular concavo-convex portion 1b is provided to engage with the annular convex concavo-convex portion 10d of the rotating member 10 in the axial direction. On the inner peripheral surface on the front side of the annular concavo-convex portion 1b, a large number of concavo-convex portions are arranged side by side in the circumferential direction, and the knurl 1c in which the concavo-convex portion extends in a predetermined length in the axial direction rotates in the protrusion 10e of the rotating member 10 Further, an air vent groove 1i that opens to the rear side and is short toward the front end side is provided as a ventilation portion on the inner peripheral surface on the front side of the knurled 1c.
この充填部材1は、図1に示すように、その後部側から回転部材10及びピストン7と中間部材11との間に挿入され、図1及び図18に示すように、後端面が回転部材10の鍔部10cに当接し、環状凹凸部1bが回転部材10の環状凸凹部10dに軸線方向に係合すると共に、ローレット1cに回転部材10の突条10eが回転方向に係合することで、回転部材10に同期回転可能且つ軸線方向離脱不能に装着され、当該回転部材10と一体化されている。この回転部材10は、前述したように、本体筒3と一体化された中間部材11のそのバネ部11yにより軸線方向前側への離脱が阻止されると共に移動螺子筒5と同期回転可能とされ、この移動螺子筒5は、第二の螺合部9を介して移動体6に螺合し、この移動体6は、本体筒3に同期回転可能とされているため、当該充填部材1は本体筒3に対して回転可能且つ軸線方向離脱不能に装着されている。また、充填部材1の後端部内には、ピストン7が当該充填部材1と密接するようにして挿入されている。
As shown in FIG. 1, the filling member 1 is inserted between the rotating member 10 and the piston 7 and the intermediate member 11 from the rear side, and as shown in FIGS. 1 and 18, the rear end surface is the rotating member 10.

As described above, the rotating member 10 is prevented from detaching to the front side in the axial direction by the spring portion 11y of the intermediate member 11 integrated with the main body cylinder 3, and can be rotated synchronously with the moving screw cylinder 5. The moving screw cylinder 5 is screwed to the moving body 6 via the second screwing portion 9, and since the moving body 6 can be rotated synchronously with the main body cylinder 3, the filling member 1 has a main body. The cylinder 3 is mounted so that it can rotate and cannot be detached in the axial direction. A piston 7 is inserted into the rear end portion of the filling member 1 so as to be in close contact with the filling member 1.
そして、図1に示すように、中間部材11に対してキャップ12が着脱可能に装着されることで、充填部材1はキャップ12により保護されている。
As shown in FIG. 1, the filling member 1 is protected by the cap 12 by the cap 12 being detachably attached to the intermediate member 11.
次に、このような構成を有する棒状物押出容器100の組立手順の一例について図17を参照しながら説明する。先ず、移動体6に対して移動螺子筒5を初期位置まで螺子込む。または、強制的に螺子山を乗り越えさせて初期位置まで押し込む。次いで、回転部材10の突条10f,10f間に移動螺子筒5の突条5bが係合するように移動螺子筒5に回転部材10を外挿し、次いで、移動体6にピストン7を装着し、さらに、移動螺子筒5の外径大径部5yに螺子筒4の大径部4xから挿入し、移動螺子筒5の外周面の螺合突起5eに螺子筒4の内周面の雌螺子4dを螺合させ、繰り戻し方向に止まる位置まで回転し、仮組品を得る。
Next, an example of an assembly procedure of the rod-shaped product extrusion container 100 having such a configuration will be described with reference to FIG. First, the moving screw cylinder 5 is screwed into the moving body 6 to the initial position. Alternatively, it is forced to get over the thread and push it to the initial position. Next, the rotating member 10 is extrapolated to the moving screw cylinder 5 so that the protrusion 5b of the moving screw cylinder 5 is engaged between the protrusions 10f, 10f of the rotating member 10, and then the piston 7 is attached to the moving body 6. Furthermore, the outer diameter large diameter portion 5 y of the moving screw cylinder 5 is inserted from the large diameter portion 4 x of the screw cylinder 4, and the female screw on the inner peripheral surface of the screw cylinder 4 is inserted into the screwing protrusion 5 e of the outer peripheral surface of the moving screw cylinder 5. 4d is screwed and rotated to a position where it stops in the rewinding direction to obtain a temporary assembly.
次いで、仮組品を本体筒3の開口側から挿入し、移動体6の突条6fを本体筒3の軸体3yの突条3d,3d間に係合させながら当該移動体6を軸体3yに外挿していくと共に、螺子筒4の突条4aを本体筒3の突条3c,3c間に係合させながら当該螺子筒4を本体筒3に内挿する。次いで、本体筒3に対して中間部材11を内挿して装着し、中間部材11により回転部材10及び当該回転部材10を介して螺子筒4を軸線方向前側へ離脱不能とし本体側組立品40が得られる。
Next, the temporary assembly is inserted from the opening side of the main body cylinder 3, and the movable body 6 is fixed to the shaft body while engaging the protrusion 6f of the movable body 6 between the protrusions 3d and 3d of the shaft body 3y of the main body cylinder 3. The screw cylinder 4 is inserted into the main body cylinder 3 while the protrusion 4 a of the screw cylinder 4 is engaged between the protrusions 3 c and 3 c of the main body cylinder 3. Next, the intermediate member 11 is inserted and attached to the main body cylinder 3, and the intermediate member 11 makes the screw cylinder 4 unremovable forward in the axial direction via the rotating member 10 and the rotating member 10. can get.
一方、充填部材1にあっては、先端の開口1aをシール部材13で塞ぎ逆さにした状態で、内部に所定量の溶融棒状物M1をノズル14から吐出して充填部材1の先端から後端への途中まで充填し充填部材1の先端内に空間が無い状態とする。そして、溶融棒状物M1が冷却固化し棒状物Mとなったら、当該棒状物Mが充填された充填部材1に対して、上方から本体側組立品40の先端側を外挿し、ピストン7を充填部材1に挿入しながら、本体筒3(中間部材11)に充填部材1を装着する。このとき、充填部材1は、その内周面が、ピストン7の気密性を確保するための環状突部7cに摺接しながら、本体筒3に係合される。
On the other hand, in the filling member 1, a predetermined amount of the molten rod M <b> 1 is discharged from the nozzle 14 in the state where the opening 1 a at the front end is closed with the sealing member 13 and inverted, and from the front end to the rear end of the filling member 1. It is made to be in a state where there is no space in the front end of the filling member 1 by filling in part. When the molten rod-like object M1 is cooled and solidified to become the rod-like object M, the tip side of the main assembly 40 is extrapolated from above to the filling member 1 filled with the rod-like object M, and the piston 7 is filled. While being inserted into the member 1, the filling member 1 is attached to the main body cylinder 3 (intermediate member 11). At this time, the inner peripheral surface of the filling member 1 is engaged with the main body cylinder 3 while being in sliding contact with the annular protrusion 7 c for ensuring the airtightness of the piston 7.
この充填部材1の装着完了時にあっては、図18に示すように、充填部材1の内周面の空気抜き溝1iが、ピストン7の環状突部7cを軸線方向に横切るようにして位置すると共に、図1に示すように、充填部材1に充填された棒状物Mと充填部材1に挿入されたピストン7との間には空間Zが形成されている。
Upon completion of the mounting of the filling member 1, as shown in FIG. 18, the air vent groove 1i on the inner peripheral surface of the filling member 1 is positioned so as to cross the annular protrusion 7c of the piston 7 in the axial direction. As shown in FIG. 1, a space Z is formed between the rod-like object M filled in the filling member 1 and the piston 7 inserted in the filling member 1.
このような空間Zが形成されているのは、棒状物Mが充填された充填部材1を本体側組立品40に組み付けピストン7が充填部材1に挿入される構成にあって棒状物Mとピストン7との間の隙間を0にしようとすると、棒状物Mがピストン7により押し出されて充填部材1から出現してしまう虞があるからであり、本参考形態では、これを避けるために、空間Zを設けるようにしている。
The space Z is formed in such a structure that the filling member 1 filled with the rod-like object M is assembled to the main assembly 40 and the piston 7 is inserted into the filling member 1. This is because the rod-like object M may be pushed out by the piston 7 and appear from the filling member 1 when the gap between the two is set to 0. In this embodiment, in order to avoid this, a space is used. Z is provided.
そして、このようにして得られた棒状物押出容器からシール部材13を外すと、図1に示すように、充填部材1の先端内に空間が無い初期状態の棒状物押出容器100が得られる。このシール部材13は、使用者(消費者)が購入してから外すと衛生的である。また、キャップ12の内部形状を変更しシール部材13と兼用することもできる。
Then, when the sealing member 13 is removed from the rod-like product extrusion container thus obtained, as shown in FIG. 1, the rod-like product extrusion vessel 100 in an initial state in which there is no space in the tip of the filling member 1 is obtained. The seal member 13 is hygienic when removed by the user (consumer) after purchase. Further, the internal shape of the cap 12 can be changed to be used also as the seal member 13.
このように構成された棒状物押出容器100によれば、図17に示すように、筒状の充填部材1のみに棒状物Mが充填されるため、充填部材1の肉厚が比較的均一で棒状物Mの径方向の太さが軸線方向に沿って一定とされ、溶融棒状物M1を充填してから固化するまでの温度条件を安定させることが可能とされている。また、棒状物Mが充填された充填部材1を本体側組立品40に組み付ける構成のため、製造が容易とされている。また、棒状物Mは充填部材1の先端から後端への途中までに充填されているため、充填部材1の本体側組立品40に対する装着の際に、棒状物Mがピストン7により押し出されて充填部材1から出現することが防止されている。
According to the rod-like product extruding container 100 configured in this way, as shown in FIG. 17, only the cylindrical filling member 1 is filled with the rod-like material M, so that the thickness of the filling member 1 is relatively uniform. The thickness of the rod-like object M in the radial direction is constant along the axial direction, and it is possible to stabilize the temperature condition from filling the molten rod-like object M1 to solidification. Further, since the filling member 1 filled with the rod-like object M is assembled to the main assembly 40, the manufacture is facilitated. Further, since the rod-like object M is filled from the front end to the rear end of the filling member 1, the rod-like object M is pushed out by the piston 7 when the filling member 1 is attached to the main assembly 40. Appearance from the filling member 1 is prevented.
また、このように棒状物Mが充填された充填部材1を本体側組立品40に組み付ける構成のため、軟らかい半固形状の棒状物や細く脆い棒状物や軟質状やジェル状の棒状物であっても充填部材1に安全に保護される。
Further, since the filling member 1 filled with the rod-like material M is assembled to the main assembly 40 in this way, it is a soft semi-solid rod-like material, a thin and brittle rod-like material, a soft or gel-like rod-like material. However, it is safely protected by the filling member 1.
そして、図1に示す初期状態の棒状物押出容器100にあっては、使用者によりキャップ12が取り外されて充填部材1と本体筒3とが繰り出し方向に相対回転されると、移動螺子筒5の螺合突起5e及び螺子筒4の雌螺子4dより構成された第一の螺合部8の螺合作用が作動し、移動体6の突条6f及び本体筒3の軸体3yの突条3dより構成された回り止め部50との協働により、移動螺子筒5が前進する。これと同時に、移動螺子筒5の雌螺子5d及び移動体6の雄螺子6bより構成された第二の螺合部9の螺合作用が作動し、回り止め部50との協働により、移動体6が前進する。すなわち、移動体6は、移動螺子筒5に伴われて前進すると同時に単独でも前進する。
1, when the cap 12 is removed by the user and the filling member 1 and the main body cylinder 3 are relatively rotated in the feeding direction, the moving screw cylinder 5 The screwing action of the first screwing portion 8 constituted by the screwing protrusion 5e and the female screw 4d of the screw cylinder 4 is activated, and the protrusion 6f of the movable body 6 and the protrusion of the shaft body 3y of the main body cylinder 3 are actuated. The moving screw cylinder 5 moves forward by cooperation with the rotation stopper 50 constituted by 3d. At the same time, the screwing action of the second screwing portion 9 constituted by the female screw 5d of the moving screw cylinder 5 and the male screw 6b of the moving body 6 is activated, and the movement is made in cooperation with the rotation preventing portion 50. The body 6 moves forward. In other words, the moving body 6 advances along with the moving screw cylinder 5 and simultaneously advances alone.
このとき、第二の螺合部9のリードに比して第一の螺合部8のリードが大きくされているため、移動螺子筒5は大きく前進し、移動体6自体は小さく前進する。従って、移動体6は、図1に示す初期状態の位置から、移動螺子筒5の大きい前進量に移動体6自体の小さい前進量を加えた分、前進する。また、このように第二の螺合部9のリードに比して第一の螺合部8のリードが大きくされているため、移動螺子筒5は第一の螺合部8の大きいリードに従い素早く前進する。
At this time, since the lead of the first screwing portion 8 is made larger than the lead of the second screwing portion 9, the moving screw cylinder 5 advances greatly, and the moving body 6 itself advances small. Therefore, the moving body 6 moves forward from the initial state position shown in FIG. 1 by adding a small advance amount of the moving body 6 itself to a large advance amount of the moving screw cylinder 5. Further, since the lead of the first screwing portion 8 is made larger than the lead of the second screwing portion 9 in this way, the moving screw cylinder 5 follows the large lead of the first screwing portion 8. Move forward quickly.
そして、図18に示す初期状態、すなわち空気抜き溝1iが空間Zの空気を逃がすために通気を開としている状態から、上記のようにピストン7が充填部材1内を摺接しながら所定量前進すると、空間Zの空気が空気抜き溝1iを通して後方側へ良好に逃がされ、図19に示すように、空間Zが直ちに無くされると共に、空気抜き溝1iの通気が閉とされ、ピストン7と棒状物Mとが充填部材1内において気密に接した状態とされる。
Then, from the initial state shown in FIG. 18, that is, the state where the air vent groove 1 i is opened to release the air in the space Z, the piston 7 moves forward by a predetermined amount while sliding inside the filling member 1 as described above. As shown in FIG. 19, the air in the space Z is released to the rear side through the air vent groove 1i, and the space Z is immediately eliminated, and the ventilation of the air vent groove 1i is closed, and the piston 7 and the rod-like object M Is in an airtight state in the filling member 1.
そして、このように移動螺子筒5が素早く前進すると、移動螺子筒5の鍔部5aが回転部材10のバネ部10yの後端面に当接し、充填部材1と本体筒3との繰り出し方向への相対回転に従って、回転部材10のバネ部10yが圧縮されて付勢力を蓄えながら、移動螺子筒5が前進し当該移動螺子筒5の螺合突起5eが螺子筒4の雌螺子4dの先端から外れ、第一の螺合部8の螺合が解除される(図2参照)。
Then, when the moving screw cylinder 5 moves forward quickly in this way, the flange part 5a of the moving screw cylinder 5 comes into contact with the rear end surface of the spring part 10y of the rotating member 10, and the filling member 1 and the main body cylinder 3 in the feeding direction. According to the relative rotation, the spring portion 10y of the rotating member 10 is compressed and accumulates an urging force, while the moving screw cylinder 5 moves forward, and the screwing protrusion 5e of the moving screw cylinder 5 is disengaged from the tip of the female screw 4d of the screw cylinder 4. Then, the screwing of the first screwing portion 8 is released (see FIG. 2).
この螺合解除の状態にあっては、回転部材10のバネ部10yの付勢力により移動螺子筒5は後方側へ付勢される。従って、充填部材1と本体筒3との繰り出し方向への相対回転がさらに続けられると、後方に付勢されている移動螺子筒5のその螺合突起5eが、螺子筒4における雌螺子4dの回転方向隣の先端に進入し第一の螺合部8が螺合復帰する。そして、充填部材1と本体筒3との繰り出し方向への相対回転がさらに続けられると、回転部材10のバネ部10yが圧縮されながら移動螺子筒5が前進して当該移動螺子筒5の螺合突起5eが螺子筒4の雌螺子4dの先端から外れて螺合が解除され、そして、さらなる同方向への相対回転により螺合復帰し、このような第一の螺合部8の螺合解除と螺合復帰が繰り返される。
In this unscrewed state, the moving screw cylinder 5 is urged rearward by the urging force of the spring portion 10y of the rotating member 10. Therefore, when the relative rotation of the filling member 1 and the main body cylinder 3 in the feeding direction is further continued, the screwing projection 5e of the moving screw cylinder 5 biased rearward is connected to the female screw 4d in the screw cylinder 4. The first screwing portion 8 is screwed and returned to the tip adjacent to the rotation direction. When the relative rotation of the filling member 1 and the main body cylinder 3 in the feeding direction is further continued, the moving screw cylinder 5 moves forward while the spring portion 10y of the rotating member 10 is compressed, and the moving screw cylinder 5 is screwed. The protrusion 5e is disengaged from the tip of the female screw 4d of the screw cylinder 4, and the screwing is released, and the screwing is restored by the relative rotation in the same direction, and the screwing of the first screwing part 8 is released. And screwing return is repeated.
ここで、移動体6に装着されたピストン7と充填部材1の内周面との間には摺動抵抗が生じていて、この摺動抵抗が、回転部材10のバネ部10yの付勢力により第一の螺合部8を螺合復帰させる際に、第二の螺合部9を介して移動体6に働くバネ部10yの付勢力の抵抗となり、場合によっては、回転部材10のバネ部10yの付勢力では第一の螺合部8が螺合復帰しない虞があるが、本参考形態においては、前述したように、移動体6がピストン7に対して軸線方向に所定量移動可能とされている。
Here, a sliding resistance is generated between the piston 7 attached to the moving body 6 and the inner peripheral surface of the filling member 1, and this sliding resistance is caused by the biasing force of the spring portion 10 y of the rotating member 10. When the first screwing part 8 is screwed back, the resistance of the urging force of the spring part 10y acting on the moving body 6 via the second screwing part 9 becomes resistance, and in some cases, the spring part of the rotating member 10 Although the first screwing portion 8 may not be screwed back with the urging force of 10y, in the present embodiment, as described above, the movable body 6 can move a predetermined amount in the axial direction with respect to the piston 7. Has been.
すなわち、移動体6は、図19に示す位置から、第一の螺合部8の螺合が解除されて回転部材10のバネ部10yの付勢力により第二の螺合部9を介して後方に付勢されると、ピストン7と充填部材1の内周面との間の摺動抵抗を受けること無くピストン7に対して後方に移動し、移動体6の環状溝部6dの先端面がピストン7の環状突部7bの先端側の根元に当接する位置において第一の螺合部8が螺合復帰する。そして、充填部材1と本体筒3との繰り出し方向へのさらなる相対回転により、回転部材10のバネ部10yが圧縮されながら移動螺子筒5が前進すると、第二の螺合部9を介して移動体6が前進し図19に示す状態とされて第一の螺合部8の螺合が解除される。このように、ピストン7と充填領域1の内周面との間の摺動抵抗を受けること無く、移動体6は、ピストン7に対して所定の軸線方向の短い範囲(移動体6の環状溝部6d)内を行き来し、第一の螺合部8の螺合解除と螺合復帰とが繰り返され、第一の螺合部8は円滑且つ良好に螺合復帰するようになっている。
That is, the moving body 6 is moved rearward from the position shown in FIG. 19 via the second screwing portion 9 by the biasing force of the spring portion 10y of the rotating member 10 when the screwing of the first screwing portion 8 is released. When it is urged, it moves rearward with respect to the piston 7 without receiving sliding resistance between the piston 7 and the inner peripheral surface of the filling member 1, and the tip surface of the annular groove 6d of the moving body 6 is the piston. The first screwing portion 8 is screwed back at a position where it comes into contact with the base of the tip end side of the annular projection 7b. When the moving screw cylinder 5 moves forward while the spring portion 10y of the rotating member 10 is compressed by the further relative rotation of the filling member 1 and the main body cylinder 3 in the feeding direction, it moves through the second screwing portion 9. The body 6 moves forward to the state shown in FIG. 19 and the screwing of the first screwing portion 8 is released. Thus, without receiving sliding resistance between the piston 7 and the inner peripheral surface of the filling region 1, the moving body 6 is a short range in the predetermined axial direction with respect to the piston 7 (the annular groove portion of the moving body 6). 6d) Going back and forth, the screw release and screw return of the first screwing part 8 are repeated, and the first screwing part 8 is screwed and returned smoothly and satisfactorily.
そして、このように第一の螺合部8の螺合作用が働いて移動螺子筒5が所定量前進して前進限に達し、充填部材1と本体筒3との繰り出し方向への相対回転が続けられて、第一の螺合部8の螺合解除と螺合復帰が繰り返される状態(第一の螺合部8の螺合作用が実質的には作動していない状態)にあっては、第二の螺合部9の螺合作用のみが働き、移動体6の回り止め部50との協働により、図2に示すように、移動体6のみが前進する。なお、この移動体6のみの前進時にあっては、前述したように、第一の螺合部8の螺合解除と螺合復帰の繰り返しにより、移動体6は、上記所定の軸線方向の短い範囲内を繰り返し行き来している上で前進する。
Then, the screwing action of the first screwing portion 8 works in this way, the moving screw cylinder 5 moves forward by a predetermined amount and reaches the forward limit, and the relative rotation of the filling member 1 and the main body cylinder 3 in the feeding direction is performed. In a state where the screw release and screw return of the first screwing part 8 are repeated (the screwing action of the first screwing part 8 is not substantially activated). Only the screwing action of the second screwing part 9 works, and only the moving body 6 moves forward as shown in FIG. 2 by cooperation with the rotation preventing part 50 of the moving body 6. When the moving body 6 alone moves forward, as described above, the moving body 6 is short in the predetermined axial direction by repeatedly releasing the screwing of the first screwing portion 8 and returning the screwing. Move forward and back repeatedly within the range.
ここで、移動螺子筒5が前進限に達し移動体6のみが前進している状態では、前述したように、充填部材1と本体筒3との繰り出し方向への相対回転により第一の螺合部8の螺合解除と螺合復帰が繰り返されているため、これによりクリック感が生じ、繰り出し方向への相対回転の度合いや移動体6の移動具合が使用者に好適に感知される。
Here, in the state where the moving screw cylinder 5 reaches the advance limit and only the moving body 6 moves forward, as described above, the first screwing is performed by the relative rotation of the filling member 1 and the main body cylinder 3 in the feeding direction. Since the screw release and the screw return of the part 8 are repeated, this causes a click feeling, and the degree of relative rotation in the feed-out direction and the moving condition of the moving body 6 are suitably sensed by the user.
そして、この充填部材1と本体筒3との繰り出し方向へのクリック感を伴う相対回転により移動体6のみが前進し、先端のピストン7により棒状物Mが押し出されて開口1aを通して出現する。
Then, only the moving body 6 moves forward by the relative rotation accompanied by a click feeling in the feeding direction between the filling member 1 and the main body cylinder 3, and the rod-like object M is pushed out by the piston 7 at the tip and appears through the opening 1a.
このとき、第一の螺合部8のリードに比して第二の螺合部9のリードが小さくされているため、移動体6は第二の螺合部9の小さいリードに従いゆっくりと繰り出され棒状物Mが適度に充填部材1の開口1aから出現して使用状態にされる。
At this time, since the lead of the second screwing portion 9 is made smaller than the lead of the first screwing portion 8, the moving body 6 is slowly extended according to the small lead of the second screwing portion 9. The rod-like object M appropriately emerges from the opening 1a of the filling member 1 and is put into use.
また、初期状態で充填部材1の先端内には空間が無いと共に、前述したように移動螺子筒5の素早い前進により、図2に示すように、空間Zが直ちに無くされるため、棒状物Mは直ちに開口1cから出現する。
In addition, there is no space in the tip of the filling member 1 in the initial state, and the space Z is immediately lost as shown in FIG. Immediately emerges from the opening 1c.
なお、初期状態から使用する等の場合、具体的には、棒状物Mの先端面が充填部材1の先端の開口1aの近くにあると共に移動螺子筒5が前進限に達していない等の場合にあっては、移動螺子筒5が前進限に達しなくても、棒状物Mは開口1aを通して出現することになる。
When used from the initial state, specifically, when the tip surface of the rod-like object M is near the opening 1a at the tip of the filling member 1 and the moving screw cylinder 5 has not reached the forward limit. In this case, even if the moving screw cylinder 5 does not reach the forward limit, the rod-like object M appears through the opening 1a.
そして、使用後にあって、充填部材1と本体筒3とが繰り戻し方向へ相対回転されると、後方に付勢されている移動螺子筒5の螺合突起5eが螺子筒4の雌螺子4dの先端に進入し第一の螺合部8が螺合復帰し、充填部材1と操作筒3との繰り戻し方向への相対回転がさらに続けられると、第一の螺合部8の螺合作用が支障無く作動し、移動体6の回り止め部50との協働により、移動螺子筒5が後退する。これと同時に、第二の螺合部9の螺合作用が作動し、移動体6の回り止め部50との協働により、移動体6が後退する。すなわち、移動体6は、移動螺子筒5に伴われて後退すると同時に単独でも後退する。
Then, after use, when the filling member 1 and the main body cylinder 3 are rotated relative to each other in the retraction direction, the screwing protrusion 5e of the moving screw cylinder 5 biased rearward is the female thread 4d of the screw cylinder 4. When the first screwing portion 8 is screwed back and the relative rotation of the filling member 1 and the operation tube 3 in the rewinding direction is further continued, the first screwing portion 8 is screwed. The operation is performed without any problem, and the moving screw cylinder 5 is retracted by cooperation with the rotation stopper 50 of the moving body 6. At the same time, the screwing action of the second screwing portion 9 is activated, and the moving body 6 moves backward by cooperation with the rotation preventing portion 50 of the moving body 6. In other words, the moving body 6 is retracted along with the moving screw cylinder 5 and is also retracted alone.
このとき、第二の螺合部9のリードに比して第一の螺合部8のリードが大きくされているため、移動螺子筒5は大きく後退し、移動体6自体は小さく後退する。従って、移動体6は、移動螺子筒5の大きい後退量に移動体6自体の小さい後退量を加えた分、後退する。また、このように第二の螺合部9のリードに比して第一の螺合部8のリードが大きくされているため、移動螺子筒5は第一の螺合部8の大きいリードに従い素早く後退し、移動体6も移動螺子筒5に伴われて素早く後退する。
At this time, since the lead of the first screwing portion 8 is made larger than the lead of the second screwing portion 9, the moving screw cylinder 5 is largely retracted, and the moving body 6 itself is retracted small. Therefore, the movable body 6 moves backward by adding the small backward movement amount of the movable body 6 itself to the large backward movement amount of the moving screw cylinder 5. Further, since the lead of the first screwing portion 8 is made larger than the lead of the second screwing portion 9 in this way, the moving screw cylinder 5 follows the large lead of the first screwing portion 8. The mobile body 6 moves backward quickly, and the moving body 6 also moves backward with the moving screw cylinder 5.
このように移動螺子筒5及び移動体6が後退すると、前述したように、空間Zが無くされてピストン7と棒状物Mとが充填部材1内において気密に接した状態とされているため、充填部材1内の減圧作用(密閉状態を保つ作用)により、ピストン7の後退に従って棒状物Mが充填部材1内で引き戻されて後退する。なお、棒状物Mが、例えば軟質状やジェル状の棒状物の場合には、当該棒状物Mが充填部材1に密接しやすいため、棒状物Mを後退させるのに都合が良い。
When the moving screw cylinder 5 and the moving body 6 retreat in this way, as described above, the space Z is eliminated, and the piston 7 and the rod-like object M are in an airtight state in the filling member 1. The rod-like object M is retracted and retracted in the filling member 1 as the piston 7 is retracted by the pressure reducing action (the action of maintaining a sealed state) in the filling member 1. When the rod-like object M is, for example, a soft or gel-like rod-like object, the rod-like object M is easily in close contact with the filling member 1, which is convenient for moving the rod-like object M backward.
そして、この充填部材1と本体筒3との繰り戻し方向への相対回転により、移動螺子筒5が所定量後退し(移動螺子筒5が前進量と同量分後退し)、図3に示すように、移動螺子筒5の螺合突起5eが螺子筒4の雌螺子4dの後端に達し移動螺子筒5の鍔部5aが螺子筒4の大径部4xと小径部4yとの内周段差面(図15参照)4eに当接し後退限に達すると、第一の螺合部8の螺合作用が停止して充填部材1と本体筒3との繰り戻し方向へのそれ以上の相対回転が停止する。すなわち、充填部材1と本体筒3とを繰り戻し方向へそれ以上相対回転することができなくなり、移動体6の後退も停止する。このように、第一の螺合部8の螺合作用が停止して相対回転が停止するため、回転力は螺合部8で干渉され、繰り戻し方向へさらに回転し大きなトルクがかかっても、比較的細い軸体3yにトルクがかかり捩じ切れてしまうことがない。
Then, due to the relative rotation of the filling member 1 and the main body cylinder 3 in the retraction direction, the moving screw cylinder 5 is retracted by a predetermined amount (the moving screw cylinder 5 is retracted by the same amount as the advance amount), which is shown in FIG. As described above, the screw projection 5e of the moving screw cylinder 5 reaches the rear end of the female screw 4d of the screw cylinder 4, and the flange portion 5a of the moving screw cylinder 5 is the inner circumference of the large diameter portion 4x and the small diameter portion 4y of the screw cylinder 4. When it comes into contact with the stepped surface (see FIG. 15) 4e and reaches the retreat limit, the screwing action of the first screwing portion 8 stops and the filling member 1 and the body tube 3 are further relative to each other in the rewinding direction. The rotation stops. That is, the filling member 1 and the main body cylinder 3 cannot be further rotated relative to each other in the retraction direction, and the backward movement of the movable body 6 is also stopped. In this way, since the screwing action of the first screwing portion 8 stops and the relative rotation stops, the rotational force is interfered by the screwing portion 8, and even if a large torque is applied by further rotating in the retraction direction. Torque is not applied to the relatively thin shaft body 3y and the shaft body 3y is not twisted.
このように、充填部材1と本体筒3との繰り戻し方向への相対回転により、後退限から一定量以上前進した任意の位置にある移動体6は、一定量を越えては後退しない。具体的には、移動体6は、移動螺子筒5が前進限から後退限まで後退する所定量に、移動螺子筒5が前進限から後退限まで後退する際の移動体6自体の小さい後退量を加えた分を越えては後退しない。従って、充填部材1と本体筒3との繰り戻し方向への相対回転により、移動体6の戻し過ぎが防止される。
Thus, the moving body 6 at an arbitrary position advanced by a predetermined amount or more from the retreat limit by the relative rotation of the filling member 1 and the main body cylinder 3 in the retraction direction does not retreat beyond a certain amount. Specifically, the moving body 6 has a small retraction amount of the moving body 6 itself when the moving screw cylinder 5 is retracted from the advancing limit to the retreating limit. It will not retreat beyond the amount added. Therefore, the relative rotation of the filling member 1 and the main body cylinder 3 in the retraction direction prevents the movable body 6 from returning too much.
なお、充填部材1と本体筒3との繰り戻し方向への相対回転により、例えば前進限にある移動螺子筒5を後退限まで後退させない場合、具体的には、充填部材1と本体筒3とを使用者の操作により繰り戻し方向へ然程相対回転させない場合で、移動体6を一定量未満(一定量に達しない範囲内)で後退させる操作であっても、移動体6が一定量に達しない範囲内で後退していて戻り過ぎてはいない。
Note that, for example, when the moving screw cylinder 5 at the forward limit is not retracted to the backward limit due to the relative rotation of the filling member 1 and the main body cylinder 3 in the retraction direction, specifically, the filling member 1 and the main body cylinder 3 Even if the moving body 6 is moved backward by less than a certain amount (within a range not reaching the certain amount), the moving body 6 is kept at a certain amount. It is retreating within the range not reached and not returning too much.
この状態、すなわち移動螺子筒5及び移動体6を繰り戻した状態から、棒状物Mを使用状態とすべく、使用者により再度充填部材1と本体筒3とが繰り出し方向に相対回転されると、前述したのと同様に、第一の螺合部8の螺合作用が作動し、移動体6の回り止め部50との協働により、移動螺子筒5が前進すると共に、第二の螺合部9の螺合作用が作動し、回り止め部50との協働により、移動体6が前進する。
In this state, that is, from the state where the moving screw cylinder 5 and the moving body 6 are retreated, the filling member 1 and the main body cylinder 3 are rotated relative to each other in the unwinding direction again by the user so that the rod-like object M is used. In the same manner as described above, the screwing action of the first screwing portion 8 is activated, and the moving screw cylinder 5 is advanced by the cooperation with the rotation preventing portion 50 of the moving body 6, and the second screwing is performed. The screwing action of the joint portion 9 is activated, and the movable body 6 moves forward by cooperation with the rotation preventing portion 50.
このとき、移動螺子筒5は第一の螺合部8の大きいリードに従い素早く前進し、この移動螺子筒5の素早い前進に伴われて移動体6も素早く前進する。また、前述したように移動体6の戻し過ぎが防止されているため、棒状物Mが開口1aからなかなか出現しないということが防止されている。そして、以降は上記と同様な動作となり、このような動作が繰り返される。
At this time, the moving screw cylinder 5 quickly advances in accordance with the large lead of the first screwing portion 8, and the moving body 6 also advances quickly as the moving screw cylinder 5 advances quickly. Further, since the moving body 6 is prevented from returning too much as described above, it is prevented that the rod-like object M hardly appears from the opening 1a. Thereafter, the same operation as described above is performed, and such an operation is repeated.
また、図4に示すように、充填部材1と本体筒3との繰り出し方向への相対回転により、ピストン7が最大に前進すると、棒状物Mが殆ど使い切られる。
Moreover, as shown in FIG. 4, when the piston 7 advances to the maximum by the relative rotation of the filling member 1 and the main body cylinder 3 in the feeding direction, the rod-like object M is almost used up.
このように、本参考形態の棒状物押出容器100によれば、充填部材1のみに棒状物Mが充填されるため、充填部材1の肉厚が比較的均一で棒状物Mの径方向の太さが軸線方向に沿って一定とされ、溶融棒状物M1を充填してから固化するまでの温度条件を安定させることが可能とされている。従って、棒状物Mの良好な充填が可能とされ製造歩留まりが向上されている。また、棒状物Mが充填された充填部材1を本体側組立品(容器)40に組み付ける構成のため、製造が容易とされている。また、棒状物Mは充填部材1の先端から後端への途中までに充填されているため、充填部材1の本体側組立品40に対する装着の際に、棒状物Mがピストン7により押し出されて充填部材1から出現することが防止され、仕上げ加工等の必要が無く、製造が容易とされている。
As described above, according to the rod-like product extrusion container 100 of the present embodiment, since only the filling member 1 is filled with the rod-like material M, the thickness of the filling member 1 is relatively uniform and the rod-like material M is thick in the radial direction. Is constant along the axial direction, and it is possible to stabilize the temperature conditions from filling the molten rod-like material M1 to solidification. Therefore, it is possible to satisfactorily fill the rod-like object M, and the manufacturing yield is improved. Further, since the filling member 1 filled with the rod-like object M is assembled to the main assembly (container) 40, the manufacture is facilitated. Further, since the rod-like object M is filled from the front end to the rear end of the filling member 1, the rod-like object M is pushed out by the piston 7 when the filling member 1 is attached to the main assembly 40. It is prevented from appearing from the filling member 1, and there is no need for finishing or the like, and manufacturing is easy.
また、充填部材1の本体側組立品40に対する装着完了時に、充填部材1に充填された棒状物Mと充填部材1に挿入されたピストン7との間には空間Zがある構成としているため、棒状物Mが充填部材1から確実に出現しないようになっている。
In addition, when the mounting of the filling member 1 to the main assembly 40 is completed, there is a space Z between the rod-like object M filled in the filling member 1 and the piston 7 inserted in the filling member 1. The rod-like object M does not appear reliably from the filling member 1.
また、通気部である空気抜き溝1iを設けているため、上記空間Zの空気が空気抜き溝1iを介して良好に逃がされるようになっている。また、このように、空間Zの空気が空気抜き溝1iを介して逃がされるため、充填部材1と本体筒3とが繰り戻し方向に相対回転され、前進したピストン7が後退する場合にあっては、充填部材1内の減圧作用(密閉状態を保つ作用)により、ピストン7の後退に従って棒状物Mを充填部材1内で引き戻しやすくなる。
Moreover, since the air vent groove 1i which is a ventilation part is provided, the air of the said space Z is escaped favorably through the air vent groove 1i. Further, as described above, since the air in the space Z is released through the air vent groove 1i, the filling member 1 and the main body cylinder 3 are relatively rotated in the rewinding direction, and the advanced piston 7 moves backward. The rod-like object M can be easily pulled back in the filling member 1 as the piston 7 moves backward by the pressure reducing action (keeping in a sealed state) in the filling member 1.
また、本参考形態の棒状物押出容器100にあっては、本体筒3側の中間部材11のバネ部11yが、充填部材1側の回転部材10を軸線方向後方に弾性的に押圧する構成のため、充填部材1と本体筒3とが良好な摺動抵抗で相対回転するようになっている。なお、このバネ部11yは、前述したように、無くても良い。
Further, in the rod-like product extrusion container 100 of the present embodiment, the spring portion 11y of the intermediate member 11 on the main body cylinder 3 side elastically presses the rotating member 10 on the filling member 1 side in the axial direction rearward. Therefore, the filling member 1 and the main body cylinder 3 are rotated relative to each other with a good sliding resistance. The spring portion 11y may not be provided as described above.
なお、充填部材1の内周面が先端側へ行くに従って徐々に先細りする形状(テーパ形状)とすると、特に軟らかい棒状物を保持できると共に、保管時に外的衝撃があっても棒状物Mが抜け落ちることが防止され安全に保持されるため、好ましい。
If the inner circumferential surface of the filling member 1 is tapered (tapered) gradually toward the tip side, a particularly soft rod-shaped object can be held, and the rod-shaped object M will fall out even if there is an external impact during storage. This is preferable because it is prevented and kept safe.
さらに、本参考形態の棒状物押出容器100によれば、以下の効果を得ることができる。すなわち、充填部材1と本体筒3とが繰り戻し方向に相対回転されると、前進した任意の位置にある移動体6は一定量後退し停止する、換言すれば、一定量を越えては後退しないため、移動体6の戻し過ぎが防止され、次回の使用時に棒状物Mが開口1aからなかなか出現しないということが無くされ、使用性(使いやすさ)の向上が図られている。
Furthermore, according to the rod-like product extrusion container 100 of the present embodiment, the following effects can be obtained. That is, when the filling member 1 and the main body cylinder 3 are relatively rotated in the rewinding direction, the movable body 6 at an arbitrary position advanced moves backward by a certain amount and stops, in other words, moves backward beyond a certain amount. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the mobile body 6 from returning too much, so that the rod-like object M does not readily appear from the opening 1a at the next use, and the usability (ease of use) is improved.
また、充填部材1と本体筒3とが繰り出し方向に相対回転されて第一の螺合部8の螺合が解除されると、回転部材10のバネ部10yの付勢力により、第一の螺合部8が螺合復帰する構成としているため、充填部材1と本体筒3とが繰り戻し方向に相対回転されると、第一の螺合部8の螺合作用が支障無く働き、移動体6が後退するようになっている。また、繰り出し方向への相対回転が続けられる場合には、第一の螺合部8の螺合解除とバネ部10yによる螺合復帰が繰り返されるため、これによりクリック感が生じ、繰り出し方向への相対回転の度合いや移動体6の移動具合が使用者に感知されるようになっている。
Further, when the filling member 1 and the main body cylinder 3 are relatively rotated in the feeding direction and the screwing of the first screwing portion 8 is released, the first screwing is performed by the biasing force of the spring portion 10y of the rotating member 10. Since the joint portion 8 is configured to be screwed back, when the filling member 1 and the main body cylinder 3 are relatively rotated in the rewinding direction, the screwing action of the first screw portion 8 works without any trouble, and the moving body 6 is set to retreat. In addition, when the relative rotation in the feeding direction is continued, the screw release of the first screwing portion 8 and the screwing return by the spring portion 10y are repeated. The degree of relative rotation and the degree of movement of the moving body 6 are perceived by the user.
また、移動体6は、第二の螺合部9の一方である雄螺子6bを有し、この第二の螺合部9の他方である移動螺子筒5の雌螺子5dが、回転部材10の付勢手段であるバネ部10yにより第一の螺合部8の螺合復帰方向に付勢され、移動体6の先端には、充填部材1の内周面を摺接して棒状物Mを押し出すためのピストン7が装着され、移動体6は、ピストン7に対して軸線方向に所定量移動可能とされているため、第一の螺合部8の螺合解除時にあって、移動体6は、ピストン7と充填部材1の内周面との間の摺動抵抗を受けること無くバネ部10yの付勢力により軸線方向に所定量移動され、これにより、第一の螺合部8は円滑且つ良好に螺合復帰するようになっている。
The movable body 6 has a male screw 6 b that is one of the second screwing portions 9, and the female screw 5 d of the moving screw cylinder 5 that is the other of the second screwing portions 9 is connected to the rotating member 10. Is biased in the screwing return direction of the first screwing portion 8 by the spring portion 10y that is the biasing means, and the rod-like object M is slidably brought into sliding contact with the inner peripheral surface of the filling member 1 at the tip of the moving body 6. Since the piston 7 for pushing out is mounted and the movable body 6 is movable by a predetermined amount with respect to the piston 7 in the axial direction, the movable body 6 is located when the first screwing portion 8 is released. Is moved by a predetermined amount in the axial direction by the urging force of the spring portion 10y without receiving sliding resistance between the piston 7 and the inner peripheral surface of the filling member 1, whereby the first screwing portion 8 is smoothly moved. In addition, the screwing can be satisfactorily restored.
また、第二の螺合部9のリードに比して第一の螺合部8のリードが大きくされているため、充填部材1と本体筒3とが繰り出し方向に相対回転されると、移動体6が第一の螺合部8の大きい(粗い)リードに従い素早く前進して空間Zが直ちに無くされ、繰り出し方向の相対回転が続けられて第一の螺合部8の螺合が解除されると、今度は移動体6が第二の螺合部9の小さい(細かい)リードに従いゆっくりと前進して棒状物Mが適度に容器先端の開口1aから出現して使用状態にされ、使用後に充填部材1と本体筒3とが繰り戻し方向に相対回転されると、移動体6が第一の螺合部8の大きいリードに従い素早く後退し、その結果、使用性(使いやすさ)が一層向上されている。
In addition, since the lead of the first screwing portion 8 is made larger than the lead of the second screwing portion 9, when the filling member 1 and the main body cylinder 3 are relatively rotated in the feed-out direction, they move. The body 6 quickly advances in accordance with the large (coarse) lead of the first screwing part 8 and the space Z is immediately lost, and the relative rotation in the feeding direction is continued and the screwing of the first screwing part 8 is released. Then, the moving body 6 slowly advances in accordance with the small (fine) lead of the second screwing portion 9 and the rod-like object M appears appropriately from the opening 1a at the tip of the container and is put into use. When the filling member 1 and the main body cylinder 3 are relatively rotated in the retraction direction, the moving body 6 is quickly retracted according to the large lead of the first screwing portion 8, and as a result, the usability (ease of use) is further increased. Has been improved.
因みに、このように第二の螺合部9のリードに比して第一の螺合部8のリードを大きくすることで、移動螺子筒5に連れられる移動体6の進退を素早くする一方で、移動体6のみの前進による棒状物Mの出現を適度にゆっくりとするようにしているが、第一の螺合部8のリードと第二の螺合部9のリードとを同じとしたり、さらには、第二の螺合部9のリードに比して第一の螺合部8のリードを小さくすることも可能である。
Incidentally, while the lead of the first screwing portion 8 is made larger than the lead of the second screwing portion 9 in this way, the moving body 6 brought along with the moving screw cylinder 5 can be rapidly advanced and retracted. The appearance of the rod-like object M due to the advancement of only the moving body 6 is made moderately slow, but the lead of the first screwing portion 8 and the lead of the second screwing portion 9 are the same, Furthermore, the lead of the first screwing portion 8 can be made smaller than the lead of the second screwing portion 9.
ここで、上記通気部である空気抜き溝1iに代えて、空気抜き溝をピストン7の外面に設けて通気部としても良い。
Here, instead of the air vent groove 1i which is the vent portion, an air vent groove may be provided on the outer surface of the piston 7 as the vent portion.
また、図20に示すように、上記通気部である空気抜き溝1iに代えて、充填部材1の内部と外部とを連通する孔1kを通気部として採用しても良い。この場合にあっても、図20に示す初期状態、すなわち空気抜き孔1kが空間Zの空気を逃がすために通気を開としている状態から、ピストン7が充填部材1内を摺接しながら仮想線で示すように所定量前進することで、空間Zの空気が空気抜き孔1kを通して充填部材1の外側へ良好に逃がされ空間Zが直ちに無くされると共に、空気抜き孔1kの通気が閉とされ、ピストン7と棒状物Mとが充填部材1内において気密に接した状態とされる。
Further, as shown in FIG. 20, instead of the air vent groove 1i that is the ventilation portion, a hole 1k that communicates the inside and the outside of the filling member 1 may be adopted as the ventilation portion. Even in this case, from the initial state shown in FIG. 20, that is, from the state where the air vent hole 1k is opened to vent the air in the space Z, the piston 7 is indicated by a virtual line while sliding inside the filling member 1. Thus, by moving forward by a predetermined amount, the air in the space Z is well escaped to the outside of the filling member 1 through the air vent hole 1k, the space Z is immediately eliminated, the ventilation of the air vent hole 1k is closed, and the piston 7 and The rod-like object M is in an airtight contact with the filling member 1.
また、図21に示すように、上記通気部である空気抜き溝1iに代えて、ピストン7の棒状物M側と移動体6側とを連通する孔7mを通気部として採用しても良い。この場合にあっても、図20に示す初期状態、すなわち空気抜き孔7mが空間Zの空気を逃がすために通気を開としている状態から、ピストン7が充填部材1内を摺接しながら所定量前進することで、空間Zの空気が空気抜き孔7mを通して移動体6側へ良好に逃がされ空間Zが直ちに無くされると共に、空気抜き孔7mの通気が閉とされ、ピストン7と棒状物Mとが充填部材1内において気密に接した状態とされる。
Further, as shown in FIG. 21, a hole 7m that communicates the rod-like object M side of the piston 7 and the moving body 6 side may be adopted as the ventilation portion instead of the air vent groove 1i that is the ventilation portion. Even in this case, the piston 7 moves forward by a predetermined amount while sliding in the filling member 1 from the initial state shown in FIG. 20, that is, the state where the air vent hole 7 m is opened to release the air in the space Z. As a result, the air in the space Z is favorably released to the moving body 6 side through the air vent hole 7m, and the space Z is immediately eliminated, the ventilation of the air vent hole 7m is closed, and the piston 7 and the rod-shaped object M are filled with each other. 1 is in an airtight state.
なお、空間Zの空気を逃がすためにピストン7を所定量前進させて空間Zを無くす充填部材1と本体筒3との相対回転操作は、前述したように、使用者が購買後に行っても良く、また、棒状物押出容器100の組み立て後に、工場で行っても良い。
Note that the relative rotation operation of the filling member 1 and the main body cylinder 3 that moves the piston 7 forward by a predetermined amount to release the air in the space Z and eliminates the space Z may be performed after purchase by the user as described above. Moreover, after assembling the rod-like product extrusion container 100, it may be performed in a factory.
ここで、上記通気部1i,1k,7mにあっては、充填部材1が装着された状態で空間Zの空気を逃がすために通気を開とし、相対回転操作によりピストン7が所定量前進することにより通気を閉とする構成としているが、図22に示すように、充填部材1を装着する際に、充填部材1に充填された棒状物Mと充填部材1に挿入されたピストン7との間の空気を逃がすべく、充填部材1を装着する際に空気を逃がすために通気を開とし、充填部材1の装着が完了すると通気を閉とする空気抜き孔7nを通気部として良い。この空気抜き孔7nにあっては、充填部材1を装着する際、すなわち充填部材1内にピストン7が挿入されていく際に、充填部材1に充填された棒状物Mと充填部材1に挿入されたピストン7との間の空気が空気抜き孔7nを通して移動体6側に逃げ、充填部材1の装着が完了すると、図22に示すように、空気抜き孔7nが棒状物Mにより塞がれて通気が閉とされて平衡状態となる。なお、このように、充填部材1を装着する際に、充填部材1に充填された棒状物Mと充填部材1に挿入されたピストン7との間の空気を逃がすために通気を開とし、充填部材1の装着が完了すると通気を閉とする通気部は、空気抜き溝1iや空気抜き孔1kでも構成できる。
Here, in the ventilation portions 1i, 1k, and 7m, the ventilation is opened in order to allow the air in the space Z to escape while the filling member 1 is mounted, and the piston 7 is advanced by a predetermined amount by a relative rotation operation. However, as shown in FIG. 22, when the filling member 1 is mounted, a gap between the rod-like object M filled in the filling member 1 and the piston 7 inserted in the filling member 1 is used. In order to allow the air to escape, the air vent may be opened to allow air to escape when the filling member 1 is mounted, and the air vent hole 7n that closes the air flow when the mounting of the filling member 1 is completed may be used as the air vent. In the air vent hole 7n, when the filling member 1 is mounted, that is, when the piston 7 is inserted into the filling member 1, the rod-like object M filled in the filling member 1 and the filling member 1 are inserted. When the air between the piston 7 escapes to the moving body 6 through the air vent hole 7n and the mounting of the filling member 1 is completed, the air vent hole 7n is blocked by the rod-like object M as shown in FIG. Closed and in equilibrium. In this way, when the filling member 1 is mounted, in order to allow air between the rod-like object M filled in the filling member 1 and the piston 7 inserted into the filling member 1 to open, the ventilation is opened. The ventilation portion that closes the ventilation when the mounting of the member 1 is completed can also be configured by the air vent groove 1i or the air vent hole 1k.
因みに、空間Zは、通気部により空気が完全に逃がされて、図2や図19に示すように、完全に無くなっても良く、また、図22に示すように、空間Zが充填部材1内の周縁に多少残っていても良い。
Incidentally, the space Z may be completely lost as shown in FIGS. 2 and 19 after the air is completely released by the ventilation portion. Further, as shown in FIG. Some may remain on the inner periphery.
図23は、本発明の第二の参考形態に係る棒状物押出容器を示す縦断面図である。図23に示すように、棒状物押出容器200は、充填部材101と、その前半部に充填部材101の後半部を内挿して当該充填部材101を同期回転可能且つ軸線方向離脱不能に連結する本体筒(本体)102と、この本体筒102の後端部に相対回転可能且つ軸線方向離脱不能に連結された操作筒(操作体)103と、を外形構成として具備し、充填部材101、本体筒102により容器前部が構成されると共に、操作筒103により容器後部が構成されている。
FIG. 23 is a longitudinal sectional view showing a rod-like product extrusion container according to the second embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 23, the rod-like material extruding container 200 includes a filling member 101, and a main body for inserting the latter half portion of the filling member 101 into the front half portion thereof so that the filling member 101 can be synchronously rotated and cannot be detached in the axial direction. A cylinder (main body) 102 and an operation cylinder (operation body) 103 connected to the rear end portion of the main body cylinder 102 so as to be relatively rotatable and non-detachable in the axial direction are provided as external configurations, and a filling member 101 and a main body cylinder A container front part is constituted by 102 and a container rear part is constituted by the operation cylinder 103.
そして、この棒状物押出容器200は、内部に、第一の参考形態と同様にして充填部材101内の先端から後端への途中まで充填された棒状物Mと、操作筒103に同期回転可能且つ軸線方向移動不能に連結された螺子筒104と、本体筒102に同期回転可能且つ軸線方向移動可能に係合すると共に螺子筒104に第一の螺合部108を介して螺合する移動螺子筒105と、操作筒103に同期回転可能且つ軸線方向移動可能に係合すると共に移動螺子筒105に第二の螺合部109を介して螺合する移動体106と、この移動体106の先端部に装着され充填部材101の後端部内に挿入されたピストン(押出部)107と、を概略備えている。
The rod-like product extruding container 200 can be rotated synchronously with the operation tube 103 and the rod-like product M filled from the front end to the rear end in the filling member 101 in the same manner as in the first reference embodiment. A screw cylinder 104 that is connected so as not to move in the axial direction, and a moving screw that engages with the main body cylinder 102 so that it can rotate synchronously and can move in the axial direction, and is screwed into the screw cylinder 104 via the first threaded portion 108. A cylinder 105, a movable body 106 that engages with the operation cylinder 103 in a synchronously rotatable manner and is movable in the axial direction, and is screwed into the movable screw cylinder 105 via a second threaded portion 109, and a tip of the movable body 106 And a piston (extrusion part) 107 which is mounted on the part and inserted into the rear end part of the filling member 101.
この棒状物押出容器200によれば、本体筒102(充填部材101でも可)と操作筒103とが繰り出し方向に相対回転されると、移動螺子筒5の螺合突起105e及び螺子筒104の雌螺子104dより構成された第一の螺合部108の螺合作用が作動し、本体筒102のローレット102aの後半部及び移動螺子筒105の突条105cより構成された移動螺子筒105の回り止め部160との協働により、移動螺子筒105が前進する。これと同時に、移動螺子筒105の雌螺子105d及び移動体106の雄螺子106bより構成された第二の螺合部109の螺合作用が作動し、操作筒103の軸体103yの突条103g及び移動体106の突条106fより構成された移動体106の回り止め部150との協働により、移動体106が前進する。すなわち、移動体106は、移動螺子筒105に伴われて前進すると同時に単独でも前進する。
According to the rod-like material extruding container 200, when the main body tube 102 (or the filling member 101 is acceptable) and the operation tube 103 are relatively rotated in the feeding direction, the screw projection 105e of the moving screw tube 5 and the female tube 104 are female. The screwing action of the first screwing portion 108 constituted by the screw 104d is activated, and the rotation of the moving screw cylinder 105 constituted by the rear half portion of the knurling 102a of the main body cylinder 102 and the protrusion 105c of the moving screw cylinder 105 is stopped. The moving screw cylinder 105 moves forward in cooperation with the section 160. At the same time, the screwing action of the second screwing portion 109 constituted by the female screw 105d of the moving screw cylinder 105 and the male screw 106b of the moving body 106 is activated, and the protrusion 103g of the shaft body 103y of the operating cylinder 103 is actuated. In addition, the moving body 106 moves forward by cooperation with the rotation stop portion 150 of the moving body 106 configured by the protrusion 106f of the moving body 106. That is, the moving body 106 advances along with the moving screw cylinder 105 and simultaneously advances alone.
ここで、初期状態の棒状物押出容器200にあって、第一の参考形態で述べたように、ピストン107と棒状物Mとの間に空間Zが形成されている場合には、当該空間Zは、上記移動螺子筒105の前進に伴われて前進する移動体106の先端のピストン107の空気抜き孔(通気部)107mにより直ちに無くされ、ピストン107と棒状物Mとが充填部材101内において気密に接した状態となる。
Here, when the space Z is formed between the piston 107 and the rod-shaped object M as described in the first reference embodiment in the rod-shaped material extrusion container 200 in the initial state, the space Z Is immediately eliminated by the air vent hole (vent) 107m of the piston 107 at the tip of the moving body 106 that moves forward as the moving screw cylinder 105 advances, and the piston 107 and the rod-like object M are hermetically sealed in the filling member 101. It will be in a state of touching.
そして、このように移動螺子筒105が前進すると、移動螺子筒105のバネ部105bの先端面が充填部材101の後端面に当接し、本体筒102と操作筒103との繰り出し方向への相対回転に従って、移動螺子筒105のバネ部105bの圧縮バネ105fが圧縮されて付勢力を蓄えながら、移動螺子筒105の本体部105aが前進し当該移動螺子筒105の螺合突起105eが螺子筒104の雌螺子104dの先端から外れ、第一の螺合部108の螺合が解除される。
Then, when the moving screw cylinder 105 moves forward in this way, the front end surface of the spring portion 105b of the moving screw cylinder 105 comes into contact with the rear end surface of the filling member 101, and the relative rotation of the main body cylinder 102 and the operation cylinder 103 in the feeding direction. Accordingly, while the compression spring 105f of the spring portion 105b of the moving screw cylinder 105 is compressed and accumulates an urging force, the main body portion 105a of the moving screw cylinder 105 moves forward, and the screwing projection 105e of the moving screw cylinder 105 moves to the screw cylinder 104. The first screw 108 is released from the tip of the female screw 104d and the first screw 108 is released.
この螺合解除の状態にあっては、移動螺子筒105の圧縮バネ105fの付勢力により当該移動螺子筒105の本体部105aは後方側へ付勢される。従って、本体筒102と操作筒103との繰り出し方向への相対回転がさらに続けられると、後方に付勢されている移動螺子筒105の本体部105aの螺合突起105eが、螺子筒104における雌螺子104dの回転方向隣の先端に進入し第一の螺合部108が螺合復帰する。そして、本体筒102と操作筒103との繰り出し方向への相対回転がさらに続けられると、移動螺子筒105の圧縮バネ105fが圧縮されながら移動螺子筒105の本体部105aが前進して当該移動螺子筒105の螺合突起105eが螺子筒104の雌螺子104dの先端から外れて螺合が解除され、そして、さらなる同方向への相対回転により螺合復帰し、このような第一の螺合部108の螺合解除と螺合復帰が繰り返される。
In the unscrewed state, the main body portion 105a of the moving screw cylinder 105 is urged rearward by the urging force of the compression spring 105f of the moving screw cylinder 105. Therefore, when the relative rotation of the main body cylinder 102 and the operation cylinder 103 in the extending direction is further continued, the screwing protrusion 105e of the main body portion 105a of the moving screw cylinder 105 biased rearward is connected to the female cylinder 104. The screw 104d enters the tip adjacent to the rotation direction, and the first screwing portion 108 is screwed back. When the relative rotation of the main body cylinder 102 and the operation cylinder 103 continues further in the extending direction, the main body portion 105a of the moving screw cylinder 105 moves forward while the compression spring 105f of the moving screw cylinder 105 is compressed, and the moving screw. The threaded projection 105e of the cylinder 105 is released from the tip of the female thread 104d of the threaded cylinder 104, the threaded engagement is released, and the threading is restored by relative rotation in the same direction. The screw release 108 and the screw return are repeated.
そして、このように第一の螺合部108の螺合作用が働いて移動螺子筒105が所定量前進して前進限に達し、本体筒102と操作筒103との繰り出し方向への相対回転が続けられて、第一の螺合部108の螺合解除と螺合復帰が繰り返される状態(第一の螺合部108の螺合作用が実質的には作動していない状態)にあっては、第二の螺合部109の螺合作用のみが働き、移動体106の回り止め部150との協働により、移動体106のみが前進する。
In this way, the screwing action of the first screwing portion 108 works to move the moving screw cylinder 105 forward by a predetermined amount to reach the forward limit, and relative rotation of the main body cylinder 102 and the operation cylinder 103 in the feeding direction is performed. In a state where the screw release and screw return of the first screwing portion 108 are repeated (the screwing action of the first screwing portion 108 is not substantially activated). Only the screwing action of the second screwing part 109 works, and only the moving body 106 moves forward in cooperation with the rotation preventing part 150 of the moving body 106.
そして、この本体筒102と操作筒103との繰り出し方向へ相対回転により移動体106のみが前進し、先端のピストン107により棒状物Mが押し出されて先端の開口101aを通して出現して使用状態にされる。
Then, only the moving body 106 moves forward by the relative rotation of the main body cylinder 102 and the operation cylinder 103 in the extending direction, and the rod-like object M is pushed out by the piston 107 at the front end and appears through the opening 101a at the front end to be used. The
そして、使用後にあって、本体筒102と操作筒103とが繰り戻し方向へ相対回転されると、後方に付勢されている移動螺子筒105の螺合突起105eが螺子筒104の雌螺子104dの先端に進入し第一の螺合部108が螺合復帰し、本体筒102と操作筒103との繰り戻し方向への相対回転がさらに続けられると、第一の螺合部108の螺合作用が支障無く作動し、移動螺子筒105の回り止め部160との協働により、移動螺子筒105が後退する。これと同時に、第二の螺合部109の螺合作用が作動し、移動体106の回り止め部150との協働により、移動体106が後退する。すなわち、移動体106は、移動螺子筒105に伴われて後退すると同時に単独でも後退する。
When the main body cylinder 102 and the operation cylinder 103 are rotated relative to each other in the retraction direction after use, the screwing protrusion 105e of the moving screw cylinder 105 biased rearward is the female thread 104d of the screw cylinder 104. When the first screwing portion 108 is screwed back and the relative rotation of the main body tube 102 and the operation tube 103 in the retraction direction is further continued, the first screwing portion 108 is screwed. The operation is performed without any problem, and the moving screw cylinder 105 moves backward by cooperation with the rotation preventing portion 160 of the moving screw cylinder 105. At the same time, the screwing action of the second screwing part 109 is activated, and the moving body 106 moves backward by cooperation with the rotation preventing part 150 of the moving body 106. That is, the moving body 106 is retracted along with the moving screw cylinder 105 and at the same time is retracted alone.
この移動体106の後退時にあっては、第一の参考形態で説明したのと同様に、ピストン107と棒状物Mとが充填部材101内において気密に接した状態とされているため、充填部材101内の減圧作用により、棒状物Mが充填部材101内で引き戻されて後退する。
When the moving body 106 is retracted, the piston 107 and the rod-shaped object M are in airtight contact with each other in the filling member 101 in the same manner as described in the first reference embodiment. Due to the pressure reducing action in 101, the rod-like object M is pulled back in the filling member 101 and retreats.
そして、本体筒102と操作筒103との繰り戻し方向への相対回転により、移動螺子筒105が所定量後退し(移動螺子筒105が前進量と同量分後退し)、移動螺子筒105の螺合突起105eが螺子筒104の雌螺子104dの後端に達し後退限に達すると、第一の螺合部108の螺合作用が停止して本体筒102と操作筒103との繰り戻し方向へのそれ以上の相対回転が停止する。すなわち、本体筒102と操作筒103とを繰り戻し方向へそれ以上相対回転することができなくなり、移動体106の後退も停止する。
Then, due to the relative rotation of the main body cylinder 102 and the operation cylinder 103 in the retraction direction, the moving screw cylinder 105 is retracted by a predetermined amount (the moving screw cylinder 105 is retracted by the same amount as the advance amount), and the moving screw cylinder 105 When the screwing projection 105e reaches the rear end of the female screw 104d of the screw tube 104 and reaches the retreat limit, the screwing action of the first screwing portion 108 stops and the retraction direction between the main body tube 102 and the operation tube 103 is reached. Further relative rotation to the stops. That is, the main body cylinder 102 and the operation cylinder 103 can no longer be rotated relative to each other in the retraction direction, and the backward movement of the moving body 106 is also stopped.
このように、本体筒102と操作筒103との繰り戻し方向への相対回転により、後退限から一定量以上前進した任意の位置にある移動体106は、一定量を越えては後退しない。具体的には、移動体106は、移動螺子筒105が前進限から後退限まで後退する所定量に、移動螺子筒105が前進限から後退限まで後退する際の移動体106自体の小さい後退量を加えた分を越えては後退しない。従って、本体筒102と操作筒103との繰り戻し方向への相対回転により、移動体106の戻し過ぎが防止されている。
As described above, the movable body 106 at an arbitrary position advanced by a certain amount or more from the retreat limit by the relative rotation of the main body tube 102 and the operation tube 103 in the retraction direction does not retreat beyond the certain amount. Specifically, the moving body 106 has a small retraction amount of the moving body 106 itself when the moving screw cylinder 105 retreats from the advance limit to the retreat limit to a predetermined amount that the move screw cylinder 105 retreats from the advance limit to the retreat limit. It will not retreat beyond the amount added. Accordingly, the mobile body 106 is prevented from returning too much due to the relative rotation of the main body cylinder 102 and the operation cylinder 103 in the retraction direction.
そして、この状態から棒状物Mを使用状態とすべく、使用者により再度本体筒102と操作筒103とが繰り出し方向に相対回転されると、上記と同様な動作となる。
Then, when the user rotates the main body cylinder 102 and the operation cylinder 103 again relative to each other in the extending direction so that the rod-like object M is put into use from this state, the same operation as described above is performed.
なお、本参考形態にあっては、本体筒102と操作筒103との間に良好な摺動回転抵抗を与えると共に径方向のガタツキを防止するためのOリング115が、本体筒102と操作筒103との間に配設されている。
In this embodiment, an O-ring 115 for providing good sliding rotation resistance between the main body cylinder 102 and the operation cylinder 103 and preventing radial backlash is provided between the main body cylinder 102 and the operation cylinder. 103.
そして、このような棒状物押出容器200の組み立て手順としては、本体筒102及び操作筒103から成る本体側筒体内に、第一、第二の螺合部108,109、回り止め部150,160を備える押出機構、螺子筒104、移動螺子筒105、移動体106、ピストン107を設けて(内蔵して)本体側組立品を得、一方、充填部材101にあっては、先端の開口101aをシール部材で塞ぎ逆さにした状態で、内部に所定量の溶融棒状物をノズルから吐出して充填部材101の先端から後端への途中まで充填し充填部材101の先端内に空間が無い状態とし、溶融棒状物が冷却固化し棒状物Mとなったら、当該棒状物Mが充填された充填部材101に対して、上方から上記本体側組立品の先端側を外挿し、ピストン107を充填部材101に挿入しながら、本体筒102に充填部材101を装着する。このとき、充填部材101は、その内周面が、ピストン107の気密性を確保するための環状突部107cに摺接しながら、本体筒102に係合される。
As an assembly procedure for such a rod-like material extruding container 200, the first and second screwing portions 108 and 109, the rotation preventing portions 150 and 160 are provided in the main body side cylinder including the main body tube 102 and the operation tube 103. A push-out mechanism, a screw cylinder 104, a moving screw cylinder 105, a moving body 106, and a piston 107 are provided (incorporated) to obtain a main assembly. On the other hand, the filling member 101 has an opening 101a at the tip. In a state where the sealing member is closed and inverted, a predetermined amount of a molten rod-like object is discharged from the nozzle to fill the middle from the front end to the rear end of the filling member 101 so that there is no space in the front end of the filling member 101. When the molten bar is cooled and solidified to become the bar M, the tip side of the main assembly is extrapolated from above with respect to the filling member 101 filled with the bar M, and the piston 107 is inserted into the filling member 1. While inserting the 1, mounting the filling member 101 to the main body tube 102. At this time, the inner circumferential surface of the filling member 101 is engaged with the main body cylinder 102 while being in sliding contact with the annular protrusion 107 c for ensuring the airtightness of the piston 107.
このような棒状物押出容器200によれば、充填部材101のみに棒状物Mが充填されるため、充填部材101の肉厚が比較的均一で棒状物Mの径方向の太さが軸線方向に沿って一定とされ、溶融棒状物を充填してから固化するまでの温度条件を安定させることが可能とされている。従って、棒状物Mの良好な充填が可能とされ製造歩留まりが向上されている。また、棒状物Mが充填された充填部材101を本体側組立品(容器)に組み付ける構成のため、製造が容易とされている。また、棒状物Mは充填部材101の先端から後端への途中までに充填されているため、充填部材101の本体側組立品に対する装着の際に、棒状物Mがピストン107により押し出されて充填部材101から出現することが防止され、仕上げ加工等の必要が無く、製造が容易とされている。
According to such a rod-like product extrusion container 200, since only the filling member 101 is filled with the rod-like material M, the thickness of the filling member 101 is relatively uniform and the thickness of the rod-like material M in the radial direction is in the axial direction. It is possible to stabilize the temperature conditions from filling the molten rod-like material to solidifying. Therefore, it is possible to satisfactorily fill the rod-like object M, and the manufacturing yield is improved. In addition, since the filling member 101 filled with the rod-like object M is assembled to the main assembly (container), manufacturing is facilitated. Further, since the rod-like object M is filled from the front end to the rear end of the filling member 101, the rod-like object M is pushed out by the piston 107 and filled when the filling member 101 is attached to the main assembly. It is prevented from appearing from the member 101, and there is no need for finishing or the like, and the manufacture is facilitated.
また、通気部である空気抜き孔107mを設けているため、棒状物Mとピストン107との間に空間Zがある場合には、当該空間Zの空気が空気抜き孔107mを介して良好に逃がされるようになっている。なお、通気部の構成としては、第一の参考形態で説明した他の通気部1i,1k等を採用しても良く、また、第一の参考形態で説明した通気部7n等を採用し、充填部材101の本体側組立品に対する装着完了時に、充填部材101に充填された棒状物Mと充填部材101に挿入されたピストン107との間の空気を逃がすようにしても良い。
Further, since the air vent hole 107m which is a ventilation portion is provided, when there is a space Z between the rod-like object M and the piston 107, the air in the space Z can escape well through the air vent hole 107m. It has become. In addition, as a structure of a ventilation part, you may employ | adopt the other ventilation parts 1i, 1k, etc. which were demonstrated by the 1st reference form, and also employ | adopt the ventilation part 7n etc. which were demonstrated by the 1st reference form, When the attachment of the filling member 101 to the main assembly is completed, air between the rod-like object M filled in the filling member 101 and the piston 107 inserted into the filling member 101 may be released.
また、本参考形態においては、溶融棒状物を充填部材101に充填し、冷却固化後、棒状物Mが形成されるが、充填部材101の先端の開口101aが、これより後側の筒孔(充填部材101の筒孔)より狭められているため、特に軟らかい棒状物を保持できると共に、保管時に外的衝撃があっても棒状物Mが抜け落ちることが防止され安全に保持される。そして、一旦固化した棒状物Mが、狭い開口101aを絞りながらピストン107により押し出されるため、組成が崩れ軟らかくなり、程良い使用感となる。
Further, in this reference embodiment, the molten rod-shaped material is filled into the filling member 101, and after cooling and solidification, the rod-shaped material M is formed. The opening 101a at the tip of the filling member 101 has a cylindrical hole ( Since it is narrower than the cylindrical hole of the filling member 101, a particularly soft rod-shaped object can be held, and even if there is an external impact during storage, the rod-shaped object M is prevented from falling off and is safely held. And since the rod-shaped object M once solidified is pushed out by the piston 107 while narrowing down the narrow opening 101a, the composition collapses and becomes soft, and the feeling of use is moderate.
なお、充填部材101を透明にすることにより、先端部にキャップをした状態で充填部材101のフランジ部101zを通して棒状物Mの色を確認することができる。
In addition, by making the filling member 101 transparent, the color of the rod-like object M can be confirmed through the flange portion 101z of the filling member 101 in a state where the tip portion is capped.
図24は、本発明の第一実施形態に係る棒状物押出容器を示す縦断面図、図25は、図24中のA部拡大図である。図24に示すように、棒状物繰出容器300は、容器の両先端側(図示左右端側)を形成する先筒253と、この先筒253より後側を形成する本体筒(本体)251と、を外形構成として具備し、先筒253により容器前部が構成されると共に、本体筒251により容器後部が構成されている。
FIG. 24 is a longitudinal sectional view showing the rod-like product extrusion container according to the first embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 25 is an enlarged view of a portion A in FIG. As shown in FIG. 24, the rod-like object feeding container 300 includes a front tube 253 that forms both distal ends (left and right ends in the drawing) of the container, a main body tube (main body) 251 that forms the rear side of the front tube 253, And the front tube 253 constitutes the front portion of the container, and the main body tube 251 constitutes the rear portion of the container.
そして、この棒状物押出容器300は、内部に、本体筒251に先筒253を相対回転可能且つ軸線方向移動不能に連結するための連結部材252と、回り止め部(回り止め機構)を構成する回り止め部材257と、本体筒251と先筒253とが相対回転されると前進/後退するパイプ部材用移動体205と、パイプ部材用移動体205の前進/後退に伴い前進/後退するパイプ部材(充填部材)254と、上記参考形態と同様にしてパイプ部材254内の先端から後端への途中まで充填された棒状物Mと、パイプ部材用移動体205の前進/後退に伴い前進/後退しパイプ部材254が前進限に達し本体筒251と先筒253とがさらに繰り出し方向に相対回転されると前進する一方で、パイプ部材254が後退限に達し本体筒251と先筒253とがさらに繰り戻し方向に相対回転されると後退する棒状物用移動体(移動体)256と、この棒状物用移動体256の先端部に装着されパイプ部材254の後端部内に挿入されたピストン(押出部)256xと、パイプ部材用移動体205の移動を可能とする第一の螺合部258と、棒状物用移動体256の移動を可能とする第二の螺合部259とを概略備えている。
And this rod-shaped object extrusion container 300 comprises the connection member 252 for connecting the front tube 253 to the main body tube 251 so as to be relatively rotatable and immovable in the axial direction, and a rotation preventing portion (rotation preventing mechanism). The pipe member moving body 205 that moves forward / backward when the rotation preventing member 257, the main body tube 251 and the front tube 253 are relatively rotated, and the pipe member that moves forward / backward as the pipe member moving body 205 moves forward / backward. (Filling member) 254, rod-like object M filled from the front end to the rear end in the pipe member 254 in the same manner as in the above-described reference embodiment, and advance / retreat as the pipe member moving body 205 advances / retreats. When the pipe member 254 reaches the forward limit and the main body cylinder 251 and the front cylinder 253 are further rotated relative to each other in the feeding direction, the pipe member 254 reaches the backward limit and the main body cylinder 251 When the cylinder 253 is further rotated in the retraction direction, the rod-like object moving body (moving body) 256 moves backward, and the rod-like object moving body 256 is attached to the distal end portion of the rod-like object moving body 256 and inserted into the rear end portion of the pipe member 254. The piston (extrusion part) 256x, the first screwing part 258 enabling the movement of the pipe member moving body 205, and the second screwing part 259 enabling the movement of the rod-like object moving body 256. And roughly.
そして、この棒状物繰出容器300では、パイプ部材用移動体205の螺合突起205e及び先筒253の螺旋溝253iより第一の螺合部258が構成され、パイプ部材用移動体205の雌螺子205j及び棒状物用移動体256の雄螺子256bより第二の螺合部259が構成され、回り止め部材257の二平面部257e及び棒状物用移動体256の二平面部256aより回り止め部270が構成されている。
In this rod-shaped object feeding container 300, the first threaded portion 258 is constituted by the threaded projection 205 e of the pipe member moving body 205 and the spiral groove 253 i of the front tube 253, and the female thread of the pipe member moving body 205 is formed. 205j and the male screw 256b of the rod-like object moving body 256 constitute a second screwing portion 259, and the anti-rotation portion 270 from the two flat surface portions 257e of the anti-rotation member 257 and the two flat surface portions 256a of the rod-like object moving body 256. Is configured.
なお、この実施形態にあっては、第二の螺合部259のリードに比して第一の螺合部258のリードを大きくすることで、第一の螺合部258の螺合作用が第二の螺合部259の螺合作用より先に働くようになっている。因みに、例えば材質を異ならせる等して第一の螺合部258に比して第二の螺合部259の作動抵抗を上げ、これにより、第一の螺合部258の螺合作用が第二の螺合部259の螺合作用より先に働くようにしても良い。
In this embodiment, the screwing action of the first screwing part 258 is increased by making the lead of the first screwing part 258 larger than the lead of the second screwing part 259. The second screwing portion 259 works before the screwing action. For example, the operating resistance of the second screwing portion 259 is increased as compared with the first screwing portion 258 by, for example, changing the material, so that the screwing action of the first screwing portion 258 is increased. You may make it act | operate before the screwing effect | action of the 2nd screwing part 259. FIG.
このような棒状物押出容器300にあっては、初期状態において、図24及び図25に示すように、パイプ部材254及びパイプ部材用移動体205は前進限に達した状態にある。この状態で、本体筒251と先筒253とが繰り出し方向へ相対回転されると、第一の螺合部258の螺合作用が停止の状態にあるため、第二の螺合部259の螺合作用が働き、回り止め部270との協働により、棒状物用移動体256が繰り出され、棒状物Mがパイプ部材254から出現して使用状態にされる。
In such a rod-like product extruding container 300, in the initial state, as shown in FIGS. 24 and 25, the pipe member 254 and the pipe member moving body 205 have reached the forward limit. In this state, when the main body cylinder 251 and the front cylinder 253 are relatively rotated in the feeding direction, the screwing action of the first screwing part 258 is in a stopped state, so that the screwing of the second screwing part 259 is stopped. The combined action works, and the rod-like object moving body 256 is fed out in cooperation with the rotation preventing portion 270, and the rod-like object M appears from the pipe member 254 to be used.
ここで、初期状態の棒状物押出容器300にあって、第一の参考形態で述べたように、ピストン256xと棒状物Mとの間に空間Zが形成されている場合には、第一の参考形態で説明したのと略同様な通気部1i,1k、7m等を採用することで、相対回転操作による棒状物用移動体256の前進により当該空間Zを無くすことができ、ピストン256xと棒状物Mとがパイプ部材254内において気密に接した状態となる。
Here, in the rod-shaped product extruding container 300 in the initial state, as described in the first reference embodiment, when the space Z is formed between the piston 256x and the rod-shaped product M, the first By adopting substantially the same ventilation portions 1i, 1k, 7m, etc. as described in the reference form, the space Z can be eliminated by the advancement of the rod-like object moving body 256 by the relative rotation operation, and the piston 256x and the rod-like shape The object M is in an airtight contact with the pipe member 254.
そして、使用後に、本体筒251と先筒253とが繰り戻し方向へ相対回転されると、先に第一の螺合部258の螺合作用が働き、回り止め部270との協働により、パイプ部材用移動体205が棒状物用移動体256を伴い後退する。
Then, after the use, when the main body cylinder 251 and the front cylinder 253 are relatively rotated in the rewinding direction, the first screwing portion 258 is first screwed, and in cooperation with the rotation preventing portion 270, The pipe member moving body 205 moves backward with the rod-like object moving body 256.
ここで、ピストン256xはパイプ部材254の内周面に緊密に当接した状態にあるため、ピストン256xはパイプ部材254を伴い後退し、第一の参考形態で説明したのと同様に、ピストン256xと棒状物Mとがパイプ部材254内において気密に接した状態とされているため、パイプ部材254内の減圧作用により、棒状物Mがパイプ部材254内で引き戻されて後退し、パイプ部材254及び棒状物Mの先端部が先筒253の先端の開口から没入し、パイプ部材254は先筒253内の収容位置に繰り戻される。
Here, since the piston 256x is in close contact with the inner peripheral surface of the pipe member 254, the piston 256x is retracted along with the pipe member 254, and the piston 256x is the same as described in the first embodiment. And the rod-like object M are in an airtight contact state in the pipe member 254, so that the rod-like object M is pulled back and retracted in the pipe member 254 by the pressure reducing action in the pipe member 254, and the pipe member 254 and The distal end portion of the rod-like object M is immersed from the opening at the distal end of the front tube 253, and the pipe member 254 is returned to the accommodation position in the front tube 253.
そして、パイプ部材用移動体205の後端面が回り止め部材257の先端面に突き当たる後退限に達すると、パイプ部材用移動体205の螺合突起205eのそれ以上の後退が阻止され、第一の螺合部258の螺合作用が停止する。この状態で、続けて本体筒251と先筒253とが繰り戻し方向へ相対回転されると、第一の螺合部258の螺合作用が停止しているため、第二の螺合部259の螺合作用が働き、回り止め部270との協働により、棒状物用移動体256が後退する。この時、ピストン256xと棒状物Mとがパイプ部材254内において気密に接した状態とされているため、棒状物Mがピストン256xと共に後退し、棒状物Mの先端部もパイプ部材254内に収容されることになる。
When the rear end surface of the pipe member moving body 205 reaches the retreat limit where it abuts against the front end surface of the rotation preventing member 257, the screw member protrusion 205e of the pipe member moving body 205 is prevented from further retreating. The screwing action of the screwing part 258 stops. In this state, when the main body cylinder 251 and the front cylinder 253 are continuously rotated relative to each other in the retraction direction, the screwing action of the first screwing part 258 is stopped, so that the second screwing part 259 is stopped. The rod-like object moving body 256 is moved backward by the cooperation of the anti-rotation portion 270. At this time, since the piston 256x and the rod-like object M are in airtight contact with each other in the pipe member 254, the rod-like object M moves backward together with the piston 256x, and the tip of the rod-like object M is also accommodated in the pipe member 254. Will be.
この状態で、使用者により本体筒251と先筒253とが繰り出し方向に相対回転されると、第一の螺合部258の螺合作用が働き、棒状物用移動体256を含むパイプ部材254は、上記した第一の螺合部258の螺合作用が停止するまで前進し、以降は上記と同様な動作となる。
In this state, when the main body cylinder 251 and the front cylinder 253 are relatively rotated in the pay-out direction by the user, the screwing action of the first screwing portion 258 works and the pipe member 254 including the rod-like object moving body 256. Advances until the screwing action of the first screwing portion 258 stops, and thereafter the same operation as described above is performed.
そして、このような棒状物押出容器300の組み立て手順としては、本体筒251内に、第一、第二の螺合部258,259、回り止め部270を備える押出機構、パイプ部材用移動体205、連結部材252、回り止め部材257、棒状物用移動体256、ピストン256xを設けて(内蔵して)本体側組立品を得る。この状態にあっては、パイプ部材用移動体205は、図25に示すように、前進限の位置にある。一方、先筒253側にあっては、パイプ部材254の先端の開口をシール部材で塞ぎ逆さにした状態で、内部に所定量の溶融棒状物をノズルから吐出してパイプ部材254の先端から後端への途中まで充填しパイプ部材254の先端内に空間が無い状態とし、溶融棒状物が冷却固化し棒状物Mとなったら、当該棒状物Mが充填されたパイプ部材254を先筒253に対して前進限に位置するように挿入し、このパイプ部材254を収容した先筒253に対して、上方から上記本体側組立品の先端側を内挿し、ピストン256xをパイプ部材254に挿入しながら、本体筒251に装着されている連結部材252に先筒253を装着する。このとき、パイプ部材254の内周面がピストン256xの外周面に摺接しながら、パイプ部材254を収容した先筒253が連結部材252に係合される。
And as for the assembly procedure of such a rod-shaped object extrusion container 300, in the main body cylinder 251, the extrusion mechanism provided with the 1st and 2nd screwing parts 258 and 259, the rotation prevention part 270, and the moving body 205 for pipe members. The connecting member 252, the anti-rotation member 257, the rod-like object moving body 256, and the piston 256 x are provided (built in) to obtain a main assembly side assembly. In this state, the pipe member moving body 205 is in the forward limit position as shown in FIG. On the other hand, on the front tube 253 side, with the opening at the tip of the pipe member 254 closed with a seal member, a predetermined amount of molten rod-like material is discharged from the nozzle to the rear from the tip of the pipe member 254. When the end of the pipe member 254 is filled to the end, and there is no space in the tip of the pipe member 254, and the molten rod-like object is cooled and solidified to become the rod-like object M, the pipe member 254 filled with the rod-like object M With respect to the front tube 253 containing the pipe member 254, the front end side of the main body side assembly is inserted from above and the piston 256x is inserted into the pipe member 254. The leading tube 253 is mounted on the connecting member 252 mounted on the main body tube 251. At this time, the front tube 253 containing the pipe member 254 is engaged with the connecting member 252 while the inner peripheral surface of the pipe member 254 is in sliding contact with the outer peripheral surface of the piston 256x.
このような棒状物押出容器300によれば、本体筒251と先筒253とが繰り出し方向である一方向に相対回転されると、第一の螺合部258の螺合作用が働いて容器に対して充填部材であるパイプ部材254が前進し、第一の螺合部258の螺合作用が停止されると、第二の螺合部259の螺合作用のみが働いてパイプ部材254に対して移動体である棒状物用移動体256が前進して棒状物Mを押し出すことになる。このような棒状物押出容器300では、パイプ部材254のみに棒状物Mが充填されるため、パイプ部材254の肉厚が比較的均一で棒状物Mの径方向の太さが軸線方向に沿って一定とされ、溶融棒状物を充填してから固化するまでの温度条件を安定させることが可能とされている。従って、棒状物Mの良好な充填が可能とされ製造歩留まりが向上されている。また、棒状物Mが充填されたパイプ部材254(先筒253)を本体側組立品(容器)に組み付ける構成のため、製造が容易とされている。また、棒状物Mはパイプ部材254の先端から後端への途中までに充填されているため、パイプ部材254の本体側組立品に対する装着の際に、棒状物Mがピストン256xにより押し出されてパイプ部材254から出現することが防止され、仕上げ加工等の必要が無く、製造が容易とされている。
According to such a rod-like material extruding container 300, when the main body cylinder 251 and the front cylinder 253 are relatively rotated in one direction, which is the feeding direction, the screwing action of the first screwing portion 258 acts on the container. On the other hand, when the pipe member 254 which is a filling member moves forward and the screwing action of the first screwing part 258 is stopped, only the screwing action of the second screwing part 259 works to the pipe member 254. Thus, the rod-like object moving body 256 as the moving body moves forward and pushes out the rod-like object M. In such a rod-like material extrusion container 300, since only the pipe member 254 is filled with the rod-like material M, the thickness of the pipe member 254 is relatively uniform and the thickness of the rod-like material M in the radial direction is along the axial direction. It is possible to stabilize the temperature conditions from filling the molten rod-like material to solidifying. Therefore, it is possible to satisfactorily fill the rod-like object M, and the manufacturing yield is improved. In addition, since the pipe member 254 (the leading tube 253) filled with the rod-like object M is assembled to the main assembly (container), manufacturing is facilitated. Further, since the rod-like object M is filled halfway from the front end to the rear end of the pipe member 254, the rod-like object M is pushed out by the piston 256x when the pipe member 254 is attached to the main assembly. It is prevented from appearing from the member 254, and there is no need for finishing or the like, and manufacturing is easy.
なお、第一の参考形態で説明した通気部7n等を採用し、パイプ部材254を収容した先筒253の本体側組立品に対する装着完了時に、パイプ部材254に充填された棒状物Mとパイプ部材254に挿入されたピストン256xとの間の空気を逃がすようにしても良い。
In addition, the rod-like object M filled in the pipe member 254 and the pipe member are used when the attachment of the front tube 253 containing the pipe member 254 to the main body side assembly is adopted, using the ventilation portion 7n described in the first reference embodiment. You may make it escape the air between piston 256x inserted in H.254.
図26は、本発明の第二実施形態に係る棒状物押出容器の初期状態を示す縦断面図、図27は、図26に示す状態から使用者の操作により移動螺子筒及び移動体が前進した時の縦断面図である。図26に示すように、棒状物押出容器400は、容器の後半部を形成する本体筒(本体)301と、容器の前半部を形成し先筒押え部材302を介して本体筒31に相対回転可能に連結された先筒303とを外形構成として具備し、先筒303により容器前部が構成されると共に、先筒押え部材302を備える本体筒301により容器後部が構成されている。
FIG. 26 is a longitudinal sectional view showing an initial state of the rod-like product extrusion container according to the second embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 27 shows that the moving screw cylinder and the moving body are advanced by the user's operation from the state shown in FIG. It is a longitudinal cross-sectional view at the time. As shown in FIG. 26, the rod-like product extruding container 400 is rotated relative to the main body cylinder 31 via a main body cylinder (main body) 301 that forms the rear half of the container and a front half holding member 302 that forms the front half of the container. The front tube 303 is connected to the front tube 303 as an outer configuration. The front tube 303 forms a front portion of the container, and the main body tube 301 including the front tube holding member 302 forms a rear portion of the container.
そして、この棒状物押出容器400は、内部に、パイプ部材(充填部材)304と、第一の参考形態と同様にしてパイプ部材304内の先端から後端への途中まで充填された棒状物Mと、パイプ部材304を同期回転可能且つ軸線方向離脱不能に連結し本体筒301と先筒303とが相対回転されると前進/後退する雌螺子部材305と、本体筒301と同期回転可能且つ軸線方向移動可能に係合し雌螺子部材305の前進/後退に従い前進/後退する回転部材316と、この回転部材316と同期回転可能且つ軸線方向移動可能に係合すると共に雌螺子部材305の前進/後退に伴い前進/後退しパイプ部材304が前進限に達し本体筒301と先筒303とがさらに同方向に相対回転されると前進する移動体306と、この移動体306の先端部に装着されパイプ部材304の後端部内に挿入されたピストン(押出部)307と、雌螺子部材305の移動を可能とする第一の螺合部308と、移動体306の移動を可能とする第二の螺合部309とを概略備えている。
The rod-like material extruding container 400 has a pipe member (filling member) 304 and a rod-like material M filled from the front end to the rear end in the pipe member 304 in the same manner as in the first reference embodiment. The pipe member 304 is connected so that it can rotate synchronously and cannot be detached in the axial direction, and the female screw member 305 that moves forward / backward when the main body tube 301 and the front tube 303 are rotated relative to each other; A rotating member 316 that engages movably in the direction and advances / retreats in accordance with advance / retreat of the female screw member 305, and engages with the rotary member 316 so as to be able to rotate synchronously and move in the axial direction. The movable body 306 moves forward when the pipe member 304 reaches the forward limit and the main body cylinder 301 and the front cylinder 303 are further rotated relative to each other in the same direction. A piston (extrusion part) 307 attached to the front end part and inserted into the rear end part of the pipe member 304, a first screwing part 308 that enables the female screw member 305 to move, and a movable body 306 can be moved. And a second threaded portion 309.
この棒状物押出容器400では、雌螺子部材305の螺合突起305e及び先筒303の螺合溝303bより第一の螺合部308が構成され、雌螺子部材305の雌螺子305j及び移動体306の雄螺子306bより第二の螺合部309が構成され、移動体306の突条306d及び回転部材316の軸体316yの突条316eより回り止め部350が構成されている。
In this rod-like material extruding container 400, a first threaded portion 308 is constituted by the threaded projection 305 e of the female threaded member 305 and the threaded groove 303 b of the front tube 303. A second screwing portion 309 is constituted by the male screw 306b, and a rotation preventing portion 350 is constituted by the protrusion 306d of the moving body 306 and the protrusion 316e of the shaft body 316y of the rotating member 316.
なお、この実施形態にあっては、雌螺子部材305の外面に装着されるOリング311の弾性力によって雌螺子部材305を締め付けることで、第二の螺合部309の作動抵抗が上げられて第一の螺合部308の作動抵抗に比して高くされ、これにより、第一の螺合部308の螺合作用が第二の螺合部309の螺合作用より先に働くようになっている。なお、第二の螺合部309のリードに比して第一の螺合部308のリードを大きくすることで、第一の螺合部308の螺合作用が第二の螺合部309の螺合作用より先に働くようにすることも可能である。
In this embodiment, the operating resistance of the second screwing portion 309 is increased by tightening the female screw member 305 by the elastic force of the O-ring 311 attached to the outer surface of the female screw member 305. The operating resistance of the first screwing portion 308 is set higher than that of the first screwing portion 308, so that the screwing action of the first screwing portion 308 is performed before the screwing action of the second screwing portion 309. ing. In addition, by making the lead of the first screwing portion 308 larger than the lead of the second screwing portion 309, the screwing action of the first screwing portion 308 can be reduced by the second screwing portion 309. It is also possible to work before the screwing action.
この棒状物押出容器400によれば、図26に示す初期状態から使用者により本体筒301と先筒303とが繰り出し方向に相対回転されると、第一の螺合部308の螺合作用が働き、回り止め部350との協働により、雌螺子部材305及びパイプ部材304と共に移動体306及びピストン307が前進してパイプ部材304の先端部が先筒303の先端の開口から出現する。
According to the rod-like material extruding container 400, when the user rotates the main body tube 301 and the front tube 303 relative to each other from the initial state shown in FIG. The moving body 306 and the piston 307 are moved forward together with the female screw member 305 and the pipe member 304 in cooperation with the rotation preventing portion 350, and the distal end portion of the pipe member 304 appears from the opening at the distal end of the front tube 303.
そして、雌螺子部材305が所定量前進すると、雌螺子部材305の環状突部305kが回転部材316の凸部316dを軸線方向に係止し、続けて本体筒301と先筒303とが繰り出し方向へ相対回転されると、図27に示すように、環状突部305kと凸部316dとの係止により雌螺子部材305が回転部材316を伴って前進し、パイプ部材304の先端部の先筒303からの突出量が増えながら、パイプ部材304が、雌螺子部材305の螺合突起305eが先筒303の螺合溝303bの先端303fに位置する前進限まで前進して第一の螺合部308の螺合作用が停止し、続けて本体筒301と先筒303とが繰り出し方向へ相対回転されると、第二の螺合部309の螺合作用が働き、回り止め部350との協働により、移動体306及びピストン307が前進し、ピストン307により棒状物Mが押し出されてパイプ部材304の先端から出現して使用状態にされる。
When the female screw member 305 moves forward by a predetermined amount, the annular protrusion 305k of the female screw member 305 locks the convex portion 316d of the rotating member 316 in the axial direction, and the main body cylinder 301 and the leading cylinder 303 continue to feed out. 27, as shown in FIG. 27, the female screw member 305 moves forward with the rotating member 316 by the engagement of the annular projecting portion 305k and the convex portion 316d, and the leading end of the pipe member 304 at the front end portion thereof. While the protrusion amount from 303 increases, the pipe member 304 moves forward to the forward limit where the screw projection 305e of the female screw member 305 is positioned at the tip 303f of the screw groove 303b of the front tube 303, and the first screw portion When the screwing action of 308 is stopped and the main body tube 301 and the leading tube 303 are subsequently rotated relative to each other in the extending direction, the screwing action of the second screwing portion 309 is activated and cooperates with the rotation preventing portion 350. Work, Body 306 and the piston 307 moves forward, the stick-shaped material M is the appearance and use state from the front end of the pipe member 304 is pushed out by the piston 307.
ここで、第一の参考形態で述べたように、ピストン307と棒状物Mとの間に空間Zが形成されている場合には、第一の参考形態で説明したのと略同様な通気部1i,1k、7m等を採用することで、相対回転操作によるピストン307の前進により当該空間Zを無くすことができ、ピストン307と棒状物Mとがパイプ部材304内において気密に接した状態となる。
Here, as described in the first reference embodiment, when the space Z is formed between the piston 307 and the rod-like object M, a ventilation portion that is substantially the same as that described in the first reference embodiment. By adopting 1i, 1k, 7m, etc., the space Z can be eliminated by the advancement of the piston 307 by the relative rotation operation, and the piston 307 and the rod-like object M are in an airtight state in the pipe member 304. .
使用後に、本体筒301と先筒303とが繰り戻し方向へ相対回転されると、第一の螺合部308の螺合作用が働き、回り止め部350との協働により、雌螺子部材305及びパイプ部材304が後退すると共に移動体306及びピストン307が後退して、パイプ部材304の先端部が先筒303の先端の開口から没入し、回転部材316の後端面が本体筒301の底面に当接して雌螺子部材305が後退限に達して第一の螺合部308の螺合作用が停止し、続けて本体筒301と先筒303とが繰り戻し方向へ相対回転されると、第二の螺合部309の螺合作用が働き、回り止め部350との協働により、移動体306及びピストン307が後退する。
When the main body cylinder 301 and the front cylinder 303 are relatively rotated in the retraction direction after use, the screwing action of the first screwing portion 308 works, and the female screw member 305 is cooperated with the rotation preventing portion 350. And the pipe member 304 is retracted and the moving body 306 and the piston 307 are retracted, the leading end portion of the pipe member 304 is immersed from the opening at the leading end of the leading tube 303, and the rear end surface of the rotating member 316 is in contact with the bottom surface of the main body tube 301 When the female screw member 305 reaches the retreat limit and the screwing action of the first screwing portion 308 stops and the main body tube 301 and the front tube 303 are subsequently relatively rotated in the retraction direction, The screwing action of the second screwing part 309 works, and the movable body 306 and the piston 307 are moved backward by cooperation with the rotation preventing part 350.
この時、ピストン307と棒状物Mとがパイプ部材304内において気密に接した状態にあるため、棒状物Mがピストン307と共に後退し、棒状物Mの先端部は、先筒303及びパイプ部材304内に収容される。
At this time, since the piston 307 and the rod-like object M are in airtight contact with each other in the pipe member 304, the rod-like object M moves backward together with the piston 307, and the leading end portion of the rod-like object M has the leading tube 303 and the pipe member 304. Housed inside.
そして、このような棒状物押出容器400の組み立て手順としては、本体筒301、先筒押え部材302及び先筒303内から成る本体側筒体内に、第一、第二の螺合部308,309、回り止め部350を備える押出機構、雌螺子部材305、回転部材316、移動体306、ピストン307を設けて(内蔵して)本体側組立品を得、一方、パイプ部材304にあっては、先端の開口をシール部材で塞ぎ逆さにした状態で、内部に所定量の溶融棒状物をノズルから吐出してパイプ部材304の先端から後端への途中まで充填しパイプ部材304の先端内に空間が無い状態とし、溶融棒状物が冷却固化し棒状物Mとなったら、当該棒状物Mが充填されたパイプ部材304に対して、上方から上記本体側組立品の先端側を挿入し、ピストン307をパイプ部材304に挿入しながら、雌螺子部材305にパイプ部材304を装着する。このとき、パイプ部材304は、その内周面が、ピストン107の気密性を確保するための環状突部307cに摺接しながら、雌螺子部材305に係合される。
As an assembly procedure of such a rod-like material extruding container 400, the first and second screwing portions 308 and 309 are arranged in the main body side cylinder formed of the main body cylinder 301, the front cylinder pressing member 302, and the front cylinder 303. , An extrusion mechanism including a rotation preventing portion 350, a female screw member 305, a rotating member 316, a moving body 306, and a piston 307 are provided (incorporated) to obtain a main body side assembly. On the other hand, in the pipe member 304, With the opening at the front end closed with a seal member, a predetermined amount of molten rod-like material is discharged from the nozzle and filled halfway from the front end to the rear end of the pipe member 304, and the space inside the front end of the pipe member 304 When the molten bar is cooled and solidified to become a bar M, the pipe member 304 filled with the bar M is inserted from the top side of the assembly on the main body side from above, and the piston 30 The while inserting the pipe member 304, to attach the pipe member 304 into the female screw member 305.

このような棒状物押出容器400によれば、本体筒301と先筒303とが繰り出し方向である一方向に相対回転されると、第一の螺合部308の螺合作用が働いて容器に対して充填部材であるパイプ部材304が前進し、第一の螺合部308の螺合作用が停止されると、第二の螺合部309の螺合作用のみが働いてパイプ部材304に対して移動体306が前進して棒状物Mを押し出すことになる。このような棒状物押出容器400では、パイプ部材304のみに棒状物Mが充填されるため、パイプ部材304の肉厚が比較的均一で棒状物Mの径方向の太さが軸線方向に沿って一定とされ、溶融棒状物を充填してから固化するまでの温度条件を安定させることが可能とされている。従って、棒状物Mの良好な充填が可能とされ製造歩留まりが向上されている。また、棒状物Mが充填されたパイプ部材304を本体側組立品(容器)に組み付ける構成のため、製造が容易とされている。また、棒状物Mはパイプ部材304の先端から後端への途中までに充填されているため、パイプ部材304の本体側組立品に対する装着の際に、棒状物Mがピストン307により押し出されてパイプ部材304から出現することが防止され、仕上げ加工等の必要が無く、製造が容易とされている。
According to such a rod-like material extruding container 400, when the main body cylinder 301 and the front cylinder 303 are relatively rotated in one direction which is the feeding direction, the screwing action of the first screwing portion 308 acts on the container. On the other hand, when the pipe member 304 which is a filling member moves forward and the screwing action of the first screwing part 308 is stopped, only the screwing action of the second screwing part 309 works, and the pipe member 304 is moved. Thus, the moving body 306 moves forward to push out the rod-like object M. In such a rod-like material extruding container 400, only the pipe member 304 is filled with the rod-like material M. Therefore, the thickness of the pipe member 304 is relatively uniform and the thickness of the rod-like material M in the radial direction is along the axial direction. It is possible to stabilize the temperature conditions from filling the molten rod-like material to solidifying. Therefore, it is possible to satisfactorily fill the rod-like object M, and the manufacturing yield is improved. In addition, since the pipe member 304 filled with the rod-like object M is assembled to the main assembly (container), manufacturing is easy. Further, since the rod-like object M is filled halfway from the front end to the rear end of the pipe member 304, the rod-like object M is pushed out by the piston 307 when the pipe member 304 is attached to the main assembly. It is prevented from appearing from the member 304, and there is no need for finishing or the like, and manufacturing is easy.
なお、第一の参考形態で説明した通気部7n等を採用し、パイプ部材304の本体側組立品に対する装着完了時に、パイプ部材304に充填された棒状物Mとパイプ部材304に挿入されたピストン307との間の空気を逃がすようにしても良い。
