DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to a liquid ejector.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a container for storing soap, shampoo, rinse, detergent, various other household and commercial chemicals, a liquid discharger having a liquid discharge pump mounted on the mouth and neck of a container body is known. . In recent years, from the viewpoint of resource conservation, it has been practiced to refill the liquid in these containers and use the containers repeatedly. However, in a container having a single mouth and neck, a pump cylinder or pipe removed during refilling The surroundings are contaminated by the liquid adhering to the device, forcing the user to perform extra work such as cleaning.

For this reason, as described in, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 61-42353, a container top wall or a container body extending horizontally from the mouth and neck separately from the mouth and neck equipped with a pump. A liquid ejector with a second mouth-and-neck standing with a cap mounted thereon was developed.

[0004]

However, in the liquid ejector in which the second mouth and neck are erected from the top wall of the container body, the second mouth and neck are manually operated when the pump is operated or the container is transported. On the contrary, the presence of the pump hinders the work of refilling the content liquid.

On the other hand, when the second mouth and neck is provided on the body of the container, conventionally, the mouth and neck are erected perpendicularly to the peripheral surface of the body and the axis of the mouth and neck is oriented in a direction substantially horizontal. Became
When refilling is performed with the container body standing upright, the liquid for refilling is likely to spill, and in order to prevent this, the refilling operation has to be performed by tilting the container body to some extent.
Further, when the diameter of the second mouth and neck is smaller than that of the first mouth and neck, and when the powder is replenished and dissolved in the content liquid, the operation becomes more complicated.

An object of the present invention is to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks of the conventional liquid ejector, so that the pump mounting portion of the container body and the refilling opening are operated or refilled with each other. An object of the present invention is to dispose the operation so as not to disturb the operation so that the replenishment / refilling operation of the content liquid can be easily performed.

An object of the liquid ejecting apparatus according to the present invention is to make it possible to more easily and surely perform replenishment / refilling of the content liquid or refilling of the powder while the container body is standing.

[0008]

As a first means, a first mouth-neck portion 2 is provided at an upper end of a container body 1 and a peripheral surface of a body portion 4 extending from the mouth-neck portion to the bottom portion 3 at an angle. The second mouth and neck 12 is provided in a part 11 of the

A liquid discharge pump 10 is mounted on the first mouth and neck 2 and a cap 13 is mounted on the second mouth and neck 12, respectively.

The peripheral portion 11 provided with the second neck portion 12 is
An upper part 14 and a lower part 16 descending substantially vertically and a middle part 15 making a gentle inclination, the second mouth and neck part 12 is erected from the middle part, and the first mouth and neck part 2 is raised. It was made to have a diameter equal to or larger than.

As a second means, the second mouth and neck portion 12 is erected from the middle portion 15 such that the axis is at an angle of 30 ° to 45 ° with respect to the vertical direction.

[0012]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS In the example shown in FIG. 1, a first mouth-neck portion 2 is provided at the upper end of a container body 1, and a body portion 4 is formed at an appropriate angle from the mouth-neck portion to a bottom portion 3. Extends.

A mounting cylinder 5 is fitted to the first mouth and neck portion 2, and a cylinder 6 extends from the mounting cylinder and a suction pipe 7 hangs down from the lower end of the cylinder. From the inside of the cylinder 6, an actuating member consisting of a stem having a push-down head 9 with a nozzle 8 at the upper end, for example, connecting the head and a piston which is vertically movably fitted in the cylinder, The liquid spring 10 is erected upward by being urged upward by the coil spring (see FIG. 3). The liquid discharge pump may be another type of pump such as a trigger type. Further, the nozzle may be changed in form to spray or foam the liquid.

A portion 11 of the peripheral surface of the body 4 has a second neck 12 having a diameter equal to or larger than that of the first neck 2.
Is provided, and a cap 13 is fitted to the mouth and neck.
The diameter of the second neck and neck 12 is sufficient if the cylinder 6 and the pipe 7 can be freely inserted, that is, the diameter of the first neck and neck 2 is sufficient. However, the diameter of the second neck and neck is larger than that of the first neck and neck. It may be.

The peripheral portion 11 of the body 4 provided with the second mouth and neck portion
Is composed of an upper part 14 and a lower part 16 descending substantially vertically, and a middle part 15 making a gentle inclination, and the second mouth and neck part 12 stands up from the middle part. As for the direction in which the second mouth and neck rises, the axis of the shaft should form an angle θ of 30 ° to 45 ° with respect to the vertical upward, so that the content liquid can be more easily and reliably kept while the container body is standing. It is preferable for replenishing / refilling or replenishing powder.

The upper, middle, and lower portions of the peripheral surface portion 11 are generally equally distributed with respect to the vertical altitude, but can be changed appropriately within the scope of the present invention. The circumferential width of the peripheral surface portion 11 is at least equal to the diameter of the mouth and neck portion 12 in the vicinity of the mouth and neck portion 12, but may be larger than the diameter or the entire circumference.

[0017]

The present invention has the above-described configuration,
The liquid ejector according to claim 1 has a body portion 4 as described in claim 1.
A second mouth and neck portion 12 is provided on a part 11 of the peripheral surface of the
The peripheral portion 11 provided with the mouth-neck portion 12 is composed of an upper portion 14 and a lower portion 16 descending substantially vertically, and a middle portion 15 making a gentle inclination. The first mouth and neck portion 2 has a diameter equal to or greater than that of the first mouth and neck portion 2, so that the pump mounting portion of the container body and the refilling opening interfere with each other's manual operation in each other. Without
Replenishment and refilling of the content liquid can be easily performed.

[0018] In the liquid ejecting apparatus according to the second aspect, the second mouth and neck portion is provided.
12 is 30 degrees to 4 with the axis centered vertically above the middle part 15
Since the container is erected so as to form an angle of 5 degrees, replenishment / refilling of the content liquid and powder replenishment can be performed more easily and reliably while the container body is erected.
