BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a spray container for spraying a liquid contained in a container from a nozzle hole formed on the button by pressing a button attached to the upper part of the container, In particular, by connecting the tube to the nozzle hole opened on the button in a detachable manner, there are two possible ways of use: spraying over a wide range directly from the nozzle hole and spraying over a narrow range through the tube. And a spray container with a tube.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, it is called a spray container for spraying a liquid contained in a container from a nozzle hole formed on the button by pressing a button attached to a pressing valve provided on the upper part of the container. Those are used in various fields such as insecticides, paints, hair styling agents, deodorants, rust preventives, lubricants and the like.

Such a spray container is usually used by pressing a button to spray the content liquid directly from a nozzle hole opened on the button. For example, an insecticide is used in the kitchen. If you are trying to spray it in a narrow gap in the vehicle, apply a lubricant to the gear inside the bicycle cover, or spray a car deodorant from inside the car air conditioner to the inside, The usage of spraying over is not appropriate, and it is necessary to be able to spray in a narrow area at the back through a narrow gap.

In such a case, conventionally, as shown in FIG. 8, the injection hole 50 opened on the button 11 mounted on the upper portion of the container 1 is projected about 5 mm, and the narrow gap is passed through. When it is necessary to spray, the tube 51 is externally fitted and connected to this, and the content liquid is sprayed through the tube 51. When the tube 51 is not used,
It has been performed to temporarily fix this to the side wall of the container 1 with an adhesive tape 15 or the like.

Further, in addition to the above, as shown in FIG. 9, a spray in which the button 4 is detachably attachable to the stem 17 of the pressure valve formed so as to project above the container 1. In the container, the tube 51 can be detachably fitted into the fitting recess 41 of the button 4 so as to communicate with the through hole 42, and in the case of spraying over a wide range, the content liquid is directly sprayed only by the button 4. When spraying through a narrow gap, use the tube 51 on the button 4.
When the tube 51 is not used, the button 4 is attached to the locking portion 31 formed integrally with the cap 3 when the tube 51 is not used.
It has also been conventionally performed that 1 is engaged while it is fitted and is held along the side wall of the container 1 as shown in FIG.

[0006]

However, in any of the above, the fitting state is not sufficient because the tube formed of a simple tube is connected to the injection hole opened in the button. If the connection is a little loose,
There is a problem that the tube may be blown off by the pressure of the spray liquid ejected during use, which may enter the narrow gap of the spray target portion and be lost.

Further, in the case shown in FIG. 8, the tube 51 is attached to the adhesive tape 15 when not in use.
It is necessary to hold it on the side surface of the container body 1 by
Further, in the structure shown in FIG. 9, the button 4 to which the tube 51 is connected when not in use is locked by the locking portion 32 of the cap 3 in the state as shown in FIG. When left, the residual liquid remains in the horizontal portion of the through hole 42 of the button, and when the residual liquid is resin-based, it hardens and the through hole is clogged. It will hinder the use from the.

The present invention is intended to solve the problems of the conventional spray container with a tube as described above, and more specifically, the one end of the tube has a larger diameter than the outer diameter of the tube portion of the tube. By integrally fixing the connecting member having the outer diameter portion, when the tube blows off due to the pressure of the spray liquid ejected, the enlarged outer diameter portion of the connecting member causes the tube to have a narrow spray target portion. It can be prevented from entering the gap, and when the tube is not used, the enlarged outer diameter of the connecting member locks the tube to the cap along the side surface of the container, and the through hole of the connecting member is inserted into the tube. By linearly communicating with the through hole of the tube part of, the residual liquid does not accumulate in the through hole of the connecting member of the tube and the through hole of the tube part, and the tube is clogged and the tube is reused. Without that interfere with, it has been an object of the present invention to provide a tube with a spray container.

[0009]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve the above-mentioned problems and to achieve the object, according to the present invention, by pressing a button attached to the upper part, the liquid content is discharged from a nozzle hole opened on the button.

And a through hole that linearly communicates with the through hole of the tube portion of the tube through the fitting convex portion, and the injection hole opened on the button is Inside the fitting convex part of the connecting member Characterized in that it is one which is formed as a fitting recess capable of fitting, it is to provide a tube with spray container.

Further, in such a spray container with a tube of the present invention, a connecting member is provided on the side surface of the cap so that the tube can be held along the side surface of the container when the tube is not used. A locking portion that engages with the enlarged outer diameter portion can be formed, and a guide for fitting the fitting protrusion of the connecting member into the injection hole,
Injecting a button that forms an annular protrusion that protrudes further forward than the peripheral portion of the fitting convex part also prevents damage to the fitting convex part due to insufficient fitting of the fitting convex part into the injection hole. Corresponding to the holes, a protection and guide member for fitting the annular projection inside thereof can be concentrically formed around the fitting protrusion of the connecting member so as to surround the fitting protrusion. Furthermore, in order to make the enlarged outer diameter portion of the connecting member larger and more effective, the extended outer diameter portion of the connecting member is integrally formed with the extension portion extending laterally via the elastic hinge portion. It is also possible to form the expanded outer diameter portion into the locking portion on the side surface of the cap while the extended portion is folded from its hinge portion against the elasticity.

Since the spray container with a tube of the present invention is constructed as described above, the fitting convex portion of the connecting member of the tube is fitted into the injection hole of the button to connect the two, and the narrow space is provided via the tube. Even if the tube is blown off by the pressure of the sprayed liquid when spraying into the gap,
The enlarged outer diameter portion of the connecting member of the tube is caught in the narrow gap of the spraying target portion, so that the tube is prevented from entering deep inside.

Further, when the tube is locked along the side surface of the container by engaging the enlarged outer diameter portion of the connecting member with the locking portion of the cap when not in use, the through hole in the connecting member is formed. The spray liquid remaining in the through holes of the tube portion of the tube is discharged linearly downward, and when the spray liquid accumulates and hardens, the through holes that are the discharge passages of the spray liquid are not clogged.

Further, with respect to the injection hole of the button forming the annular protrusion projecting forward from the peripheral portion, the annular protrusion is fitted around the fitting convex portion of the connecting member. With the guide member formed concentrically so as to surround the fitting convex portion, when the button and the connecting member are joined, the inner peripheral surface of the member is guided to the outer peripheral surface of the annular projection of the injection hole, The fitting convex portion positioned concentrically with this is reliably guided into the injection hole, and after joining the button and the connecting member,
By fitting the protection and guide member with the annular protrusion,
Even if the fitting hole between the injection hole of the button and the connecting member is not sufficiently fitted, the force does not concentrate only on the fitting projection when an excessive force is applied in the lateral direction. , The fitting convex portion is prevented from being damaged and is protected by the excessive movement of the fitting convex portion with respect to the injection hole.

Furthermore, in the one in which the extension portion extending laterally via the elastic hinge portion is integrally formed on the enlarged outer diameter portion of the connecting member, the extension portion is resisted from the elasticity and is extended from the hinge portion. In the folded state, the expanded outer diameter part is stored in the locking part on the side of the cap, so that when not in use it is held as a relatively small part and firmly held in the locking part, and when used, the expanded outer diameter of the connecting member Make the section even larger and more effective.
