Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a cleaning liquid dispensing device used in bathrooms, washrooms, kitchens, etc.

Generally, bar soap is used in public baths in inns, hotels, etc., but these baths are unhygienic because many guests share the same soap. On the other hand, in bathrooms in hotels etc.
Small bar soap equivalent to a person's worth of soap is also used, but in many cases this is not used up by the customer, and the remaining soap is disposed of.
It's extremely boring. For this reason, it has recently been attracting attention that dispensing only the required amount of liquid or viscous soap is not only hygienic but also economical because there is no waste of waste. .

As a device for dispensing such liquid or viscous soap, devices for dispensing soapy water in washrooms are already known. A conventional soap water dispensing device has a soap water storage container integrally fixed to the dispensing device main body, a spout communicating with the container is formed on the lower surface of the dispensing device main body, and the dispensing device A push lever or rod is provided on the front of the main body so that it can be pushed out and retracted, and when the push lever or rod is pushed in and operated, the push lever or rod communicates the container with the spout and the soapy water in the container flows out of the spout. I'm starting to let them do it. This product is arranged so that when you press the push lever or rod with the palm of one hand, your finger is located just below the spout, and when you operate it with one hand, the soapy water will be poured out into your hand. It has the advantage of being easy to use.

However, in the conventional soap water dispensing device, the container containing the soap water is integrally fixed to the dispensing device main body, and the opening at the lower end communicates with the spout of the dispensing device main body, and the upper end An opening for replenishing soap water was formed in the opening, and this replenishing opening was closed by a cap so that it could be opened and closed. In a dispensing device with such a structure, when the soap water runs out, the cap is removed and the soap water is refilled in small portions from another large container through the refill opening,
This replenishment work was extremely troublesome.

In order to overcome these drawbacks, it has been proposed to replace the entire container when the soap water runs out.
That is, soap water is stored in a storage container for a while, and when the soap water runs out, the empty container is replaced with another container filled with soap water. It is easy to replenish the soapy water, and the soapy water can be bought and sold in a container.

However, when replacing the entire container in this way, the container is installed upside down when it is attached to the main body of the dispensing device, and there is a problem that the soapy water inside leaks out when the container is turned upside down.

The present invention was developed based on these circumstances, and its purpose is to prevent the cleaning liquid from spilling out when replacing and refilling the container with cleaning liquid such as soapy water, making the replacement process easy. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a cleaning liquid dispensing device that can perform the following steps.

That is, the present invention consists of a board fixed to a wall surface, etc., a dispensing device body that is attached to the front surface of the board via a support shaft and can be turned upside down, and a connecting port opened on the top surface of the dispensing device main body. a container with a lower end open and the opening removably connected to the connection port and containing a cleaning liquid therein; a spout opening in the bottom surface of the spouting device main body and communicating with the connection port; A push lever is installed on the front surface of the spouting device so as to be protrusive and retractable, and has a valve hole opening that connects the connecting port and spout when pressed against the biasing force of a spring, When attaching and detaching, turn the dispensing device upside down so that the connection opening faces downward, and attach and detach the dispensing device with the opening of the container facing upward. When using the dispensing device, return the dispensing device to its original position. It is characterized by being turned upside down.

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described based on drawings in which it is applied to a soap water dispensing device used in a bathhouse.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a substrate, and this substrate 1 is fixed to a wall surface 2 of the bathroom with screws 3 or an adhesive. A pouring device main body 4 is provided protruding from the front surface of the substrate 1. The pouring device main body 4 is supported on the substrate 1 by a support shaft, and in this embodiment, a bolt 5 is used as the support shaft. In other words, the bolt 5 is connected to the main body 4 of the pouring device.
is connected to the substrate 1, and the pouring device main body 4 is rotatably held relative to the substrate 1. For this reason, although the main body 4 of the pouring device will be described later, the bolt 5
It is designed to be able to be flipped vertically around .

The spouting device main body 4 has a connecting port 6 opened in the upper surface thereof in the normal usage position. This connecting port 6 has a female hole 7, and a soap water container 8 is detachably connected to this female hole 7. The soap water storage container 8 is made of, for example, a synthetic resin, preferably a transparent or translucent synthetic resin that allows the inside to be seen through, and contains a highly viscous soap water 9 inside. This container 8 has an opening 10 at the lower end, and a male thread 11 formed on the outside of this opening 10.
is screwed onto the female thread 7 and connected to the connection port 6 in a fluid-tight manner.

A spout 12 is formed on the lower surface of the spouting device body 4 in the normal usage position. In the case of this embodiment, the spout 12 is connected to the cover plate 13.
It was opened in . The cover plate 13 is fixed to the lower surface of the pouring device main body 4 via screws 14. The spout 12 is provided directly below the connection port 6 and communicates with the connection port 6. Further, a push lever 15 is attached to the front surface of the main body 4 of the pouring device so that it can be pushed out and retracted. This push lever 15
is sandwiched between the pouring device main body 4 and the cover plate 13, and is held slidably in the front-back direction between them. This push lever 15 is always urged in a protruding direction by a spring 16 housed within the main body 4 of the dispensing device. A valve hole 17 is opened in this push lever 15, and this valve hole 17 is opened in the push lever 15.
When pushed in against the biasing force of the spring 16, the connecting port 6 and the spout 12 communicate with each other. In this state, the spout 12, the valve hole 17, the connection port 6
The container is electrically connected, and the soap solution 9 in the container 8 is supplied from the spout 12. In addition,
The cover plate 13 has a guiding function for the push lever 15 and a covering function for the spring 16.

Another spring 1 is attached to the back end of the main body 4 of the pouring device.
8 and a ball 19 which is pressed and biased by the spring 18 is accommodated. The ball 19 is urged by a spring 18 so as to protrude from the back side of the main body 4 of the pouring device. An engagement hole 20 is formed in the substrate 1 for the ball 19 . When the spouting device main body 4 is in the normal usage position, the ball 19 is inserted into the engagement hole 20,
The posture of the main body 4 of the pouring device is maintained by the locking action between the balls 19 and the engaging holes 20, and functions as a so-called stopper. Note that 21 is a rubber sealing material for preventing liquid leakage.

The operation of the embodiment with such a configuration will be explained.

The posture shown in FIGS. 1 and 3 is the normal usage state, with the spout 12 facing downward and the connecting port 6 facing upward. Therefore, soap water container 8
is placed on the main body 4 of the pouring device, and the opening 10 is connected to the connection port 6. In this state, when the push lever 15 is pressed with the palm of one hand, the valve hole 17 connects the connecting port 6 and the spout 12, so that the soapy water 9 in the container 8 flows down from the spout 12. When you press the push lever 15 with your palm, your finger touches the spout 12.
By positioning the soap water 8 directly below the spout 12, the soap water 8 supplied from the spout 12 can be received with the fingers. Therefore, operation with only one hand is possible. Furthermore, since the amount of soapy water 9 dispensed can be adjusted depending on the time the push lever 15 is pressed, only the required amount can be dispensed.

When the soapy water 9 runs out in the container 8, the main body 4 of the dispensing device is held against the base plate 1 by the bolts 5.
is the center of rotation. Then, as shown in FIG. 2, the spouting device main body 4 assumes a posture with the spout 12 facing upward and the connecting port 6 facing downward. In other words, in the case of the soap water container 8, its opening 10
becomes upward. Therefore, in this state, the empty container 8 is removed from the pouring device main body 4 and replaced with another container 8 filled with soapy water. Since the new container 8 is screwed into the connecting port 6 with the opening 10 facing upward, soapy water will not spill. Moreover, since the attachment/detachment is done by screwing together the female screw 7 and the male screw 11, the container 8 can be replaced quickly.

Note that the container 8 itself is usually carried with the opening 10 facing upward and a cap (not shown) attached to the opening 10.

When the exchange of the container 8 is completed in this way, the main body 4 of the pouring device is turned upside down and returned to its original position. Then, the container 8 is attached to the dispensing device main body 4 with the opening 10 facing downward, so the push lever 1
By the operation in step 5, the soapy water can be poured out. Note that when the main body 4 of the dispensing device is turned upside down and returned to its original position, the rotation range of the main body 4 of the dispensing device is restricted as the ball 19 enters the engagement hole 20 of the substrate 1. The posture of the pouring device main body 4 is maintained by the engagement between the ball 19 and the engagement hole 20.

Further, when using soap water with high viscosity, the push lever 15 having a flat plate shape allows the liquid to be drained well.

In the above embodiment, a soap water dispensing device in a bathhouse has been described, but the present invention can also be applied to a soap water dispensing device in a washroom, and can also be applied to a dishwashing detergent dispensing device in a kitchen. It is.

As detailed below, according to the present invention, the cleaning liquid storage container is removably attached to the main body of the spouting device, and when this container is replaced, the main body of the spouting device is turned upside down to attach and detach the container. Therefore, it is very easy to replenish the cleaning liquid, and since the container can be attached and removed with the opening facing upward, there are advantages such as no spillage of the cleaning liquid.
