【発明が解決しようとする課題】
詰替え容器の液体を容器体に詰め替える場合、詰替え容器の注出口を容器体口頸部に臨ませるのが通常であるが、上記公知例の前者では注出筒を、また後者では注入リップを、それぞれ容器体口頸部上端よりも高く起立しているので、詰替え用容器の注出口を容器体口頸部上端へ近接させて臨ませることが困難である。このため詰替え時に注出筒や注入リップを容器体から取り外せるようにすることが望まれる。
しかし、公知例の前者では、注出筒を起立する吊下げ筒部が容器本体と一体であるから、注出筒の取外しは不可能である。他方、公知例の後者では、注入リップを有する取付部材と容器の首部とは別体であるが、取付部材の環状外壁部の外周端が容器の首部上端へ巻締めにより嵌合されているため、容器の首部から環状外壁部を取り外すことは不可能ではないにしても頗る困難である。
【０００４】
請求項１乃至３記載の発明に係る液体注出容器は、詰替え時に注出部材を口頸部の外方へ位置させて、詰替えを容易にしようとするものである。

この第１係合突部８ｂより上方嵌合筒部分に複数の第２係合突条８ｃを縦設する。
【００１１】
嵌合筒８ａは省略することも可能で、この場合には第１係合突部８ｂを保持筒７から直接突設する。
また、請求項２記載のように、外周壁５後部の上端から起立板５ａを起立する。
さらに、外周壁５内面に複数の第２係合突条を縦設して、これら第２係合突条を第１係合突条４へ係合させる。

詰替え後、注出部材Ｃを装着筒Ｂへ装着させるには、注出部材Ｃを前方へ回動させればよく、すると第２係合突部２０後面が第１係合突部８ｂ前端部へ係合して、第２係合突部２０が前方へ弾性変形することにより第１係合突部８ｂを乗り越えて第１係合突部８ｂ下面へ係合する。
なお、計量注出後、計量カップＤをキャップ嵌合筒１０へ螺合させる際に、液溜部２７に貯留した液体は吊持ち筒部１２内に落下して容器体Ａ内に流入する。
【００１９】
図３及び図４は本発明に係る液体注出容器の第２の実施形態を示す。本実施形態と第１の実施形態とは、注出時における注出部材Ｃの回動防止手段において異なる。
すなわち、図３に示すように、外周壁５前部の上下方向中間部から、前端部を球形状に形成した係合ピン３０を前方突設すると共に、囲成筒１６前部の下端部外面から後方へ湾曲した円弧状の弾性操作板３１を、外周壁５よりも下方へ長く垂設し、かつその下端部を摘み部３２に形成し、さらに弾性操作板３１の上下方向中間部に係合ピン挿通孔３３を穿設して、この挿通孔３３に係合ピン３０を挿通させる。
【００２０】
詰替え時には、弾性操作板３１を前方へ引いて係合ピン挿通孔３３から係合ピン３０を離脱させて、注出部材Ｃを後方へ回動させる。
なお、本実施形態では、第１の実施形態で採用した起立板５ａと係合部材８ととを省略して、外周壁５後部を直接肉薄ヒンジ２１に連結させる。
また、第２係合突条８ｃは保持筒７に形成する。
【００２１】
【発明の効果】

【００２２】
請求項３記載の発明に係る液体注出容器は、肉薄ヒンジを介して注出部材後部を装着筒後部へ連結すると共に、外周壁前部から突設した係合ピンを、囲成筒前部から垂設する弾性操作板の係合ピン挿通孔へ挿通させたので、詰替え時に、注出部材を回動させて樋状注出部を容器体口頸部の後方へ容易に位置させることができる。

[Prior art]
For example, as shown in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 62-99541, a hanging cylinder is suspended from the upper end of the mouth and neck of the container body via a first inward flange, and the second inward is attached to the lower end of the cylinder. From the inner circumference of the flange, the pouring cylinder rises higher than the container neck and neck, and the side wall hanging from the outer circumference of the top plate is fitted to the inner surface of the upper end of the hanging cylinder and attached to the side wall. A measuring cup is known in which the annular shoulder portion is placed on a first inward flange, and a pour tube is inserted from the center portion of the top plate portion into the tube to suspend the cylindrical measuring wall portion. .
Further, as disclosed in JP-A-62-193962, it includes a hollow plastic container having a neck with a threaded external thread, a mounting member, and an interengaging means between the mounting member and the neck. In a sealing member and mounting member for containing and dispensing liquid for use in packaging, the mounting member has an inner wall portion, the inner wall portion defines an injection lip, and the injection lip extends from within the neck to the end of the neck. The mounting member includes an annular outer wall portion connected to the inner wall portion, the cup-shaped sealing member includes a top wall and a peripheral wall portion extending from the top wall; The part extends axially inwardly in the outer wall of the mounting member, the sealing member has an annular outer wall, the annular outer wall has an internal thread, and the internal thread is an external thread on the neck of the container. The neck of the container is engaged with the pile and defines the seal And means on the mounting member engaged, be between the sealing member and the mounting member and means defining a seal, for accommodating and dispensing liquid packaging is known to.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
When refilling the liquid of the refill container into the container body, it is usual to have the spout of the refill container face the mouth and neck of the container body. Are raised higher than the upper end of the container body neck and neck, so that it is difficult to make the spout of the refilling container approach the upper end of the container body neck and neck. For this reason, it is desired to be able to remove the dispensing cylinder and the injection lip from the container body at the time of refilling.
However, in the former example of the known example, since the hanging cylinder portion that erects the extraction cylinder is integral with the container body, it is impossible to remove the extraction cylinder.

Since the second engagement protrusion is formed on the operation lever, when refilling from the refill container to the container body, the pouring member is rotated to easily move the bowl-shaped pouring part to the rear side of the container body neck. Can be positioned.
[0022]
According to a third aspect of the present invention, there is provided a liquid pouring container for connecting the rear portion of the pouring member to the rear portion of the mounting cylinder through the thin hinge and the engaging pin protruding from the front portion of the outer peripheral wall. Since it was inserted into the engagement pin insertion hole of the elastic operation plate that hangs down from the container, the refilling member can be rotated to easily position the bowl-shaped extraction portion to the rear of the container mouth / neck when refilling Can do.
