Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a container with a dispenser in which the contents can be refilled, and more specifically, it is a disk provided with an air passage for preventing the contents from being crushed due to depressurization inside the refill container. It relates to containers with dispensers.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 Conventionally, in the case of dispensers such as shampoos and rinses, in order to prevent the inside of the container body from being depressurized, a small hole for ventilation was formed in the dispenser tank, and the lever on the top of the dispenser was pressed with a finger. When the contents were discharged from the nozzle by operation, the outside air was made to flow into the container body via the above-mentioned ventilation small holes according to the amount of decrease in the contents.

By the way, when the contents are stored in a cartridge type refill container, a cap is provided on the upper surface of the refill container, and the tank portion of the dispenser is inserted into the cap from above. Then, the cap of the dispenser was screwed in and the dispenser and refill container were attached.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 When the contents are stored in the cartridge type refill container as described above, the small holes formed in the tank are almost always formed on the inner wall surface of the spout if the conventional dispenser mechanism is used as it is. When the refill container is small in vertical dimension, this small hole pops out above the spigot and is located close to the plug. The small hole was unable to function to connect the inside of the refill container with the inside of the dispenser tank (see FIGS. 8 and 9).

According to the present invention, even when the small hole formed in the tank comes to a position where it closely faces the inner wall surface of the spout, the communication state between the inside of the refill container and the inside of the tank of the dispenser can always be ensured. Then, the above problems are solved.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 Therefore, the present invention relates to a container with a dispenser in which a spigot is attached near the upper end of a refill container and a small hole is formed in the tank of the dispenser, and when the tank of the dispenser is inserted into the spigot. A container with a dispenser that can refill contents, characterized in that an air passage is formed on the inner wall surface of the spout and / or the outer wall surface of the tank to connect the inside of the refill container and the inside of the dispenser tank. .

[0007]

[Action]

 According to the container with a dispenser described above, since the inside of the refill container and the inside of the tank of the dispenser are always in communication due to the presence of the air passage, the inside of the refill container is depressurized by discharging the contents. However, as the air is sent into the refill container, the refill container will not be crushed.

【Example】

 Embodiments of the present invention will be described below. In the drawings, reference numeral 1 is a container body having a cylindrical bottomed upper surface, and a lid 2 is separably provided on the container body 1.

A mouth portion 3 is formed in a protruding shape at the center or eccentric position of the lid body 2, and a dispenser 4 is detachably attached to the mouth portion 3. The dispenser 4 is such that by operating the lever 5 on the upper part with a finger, the content can be sucked from the tip of the dip tube 6 inserted into the liquid content and discharged from the nozzle 7, and its structure is Since it has been publicly known, and various types have been proposed, details thereof will be omitted.

A cartridge-type refill container 8 is exchangeably housed in the container body 1, and the refill container 8 has a size and a shape that can be housed in the container body 1, as shown in FIG. In the form of a packed container, a stopper 10 for inserting the dip tube 6 and the tank 9 is formed on the upper surface thereof.

The refill container 8 is made of, for example, a laminate material of low density polyethylene and paper, or a laminate material of polyethylene, paper, aluminum foil, polyethylene terephthalate, or the like.

The cap 10 of the refill container 8 is sealed with a cap cap (not shown) until the refill container is stored in the container body 1, and the refill container is stored in the container body. Immediately before the operation, the spout cap is removed.

Here, a small hole 11 is formed in the tank 9 of the dispenser 4, and the small hole 11 is adapted to be capable of sucking air from the outside according to sucking out of the contents. In the first embodiment of FIG. 1, the air passage 12 is secured by making the inner diameter of the spout 10 relatively large so that the tank 9 and the spout 10 do not face each other in close contact. . The top surface of the spout 10 is in contact with the collar portion 13 of the dispenser 4 to ensure airtightness between the dispenser and the refill container.

In the second embodiment of FIG. 2, the upper part of the inner wall surface of the spout 10 is closely fitted to the outer wall surface of the tank to ensure airtightness, and the inner diameter of the lower part of the inner wall surface of the spout 10 is set to the outer wall surface of the tank. The air passage 12 is secured to be larger than the diameter.

In the third embodiment of FIG. 3, the inner wall surface of the spout 10 is closely fitted to the outer wall surface of the tank to ensure airtightness, and the groove 14 is formed on the inner wall surface of the spout. 14 is formed in a circular shape at a position corresponding to the small hole 11 formed on the outer wall surface of the tank 9, and at least one vertical groove 15 is formed from the circular groove 14 to the lower end of the spout. ing. As a result, the air passage 12 is secured.

In the fourth embodiment of FIG. 6, the tank outer wall portion is closely fitted to the inner wall surface of the spout 10 to ensure airtightness, and the groove 16 is formed on the tank outer wall surface. It is formed from the position of the small hole 11 formed on the outer wall surface of the tank 9 to the inside of the refill container. Here, it is also possible to form a plurality of small holes 11 and grooves 16 of the tank, whereby the air passage 12 is secured.

In use, the lid body 2 is separated from the container body 1, the refill container 8 is housed in the container body, then the dip tube 6 is inserted into the spout 10, and the lid body 2 with the dispenser is attached. It is installed on the main body 1. When the contents in the refill container 8 are consumed, the refill container 8 is replaced with a new container in the above procedure.

As a result, the container body 1 and the dispenser 4 can be used as they are, and only the refill container 8 needs to be replaced, and the dispenser is no longer disposable, so that the generation of dust is reduced and the waste of resources is suppressed. can do.

Further, in the conventional one in which only the contents are refilled and the refill container is discarded, it is impossible to confirm the lot number indicating the manufacturing date, place, etc. However, in this invention, since the refill container itself is mounted and used, it is possible to clearly know the lot number of the product currently used. In terms of hygiene, it is also effective in that the refill container itself becomes a new container each time compared with the conventional refill product.

[0020]

[Effect of the device]

 Therefore, according to the present invention, even if the inside of the refill container is depressurized due to the discharge of the contents, the inside of the refill container is released from the depressurized state due to the presence of the air passage, so that the refill container is surely crushed. It has an excellent effect that it can be prevented.
