DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a two-part tube container capable of separately storing different contents and discharging the same amount when used.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Heretofore, there have been known drugs, adhesives, hair cosmetics, and the like which exhibit an effect by mixing a plurality of viscous substances. As such a hair cosmetic, for example, a two-part hair dye that obtains a hair dyeing effect by mixing a first agent and a second agent is known.

In a two-part hair dye, for example, the first part may be alkaline containing an oxidation dye and an alkali, and the second part may be acidic containing hydrogen peroxide. In such a case, due to the difference in liquid properties between the first agent and the second agent, the container to be accommodated needs to have corrosion resistance to each liquid property, and conventionally, the first agent and the second agent are used. They were stored separately in separate containers of different materials.

[0004]

In using such a hair dye, it is necessary to equally dispose the first and second agents from each tube container in order to obtain a good hair dyeing effect. desirable. However, in the case of the tube container, the amount of the content to be output differs due to a subtle difference in the amount of force applied when the content is output. Therefore, it is difficult to dispense an equal amount of the first agent and the second agent enclosed in different tube containers. Also, while trying to make the amount of the first agent and the amount of the second agent equal, it is often the case that the amount is more than necessary.

[0005] As described above, it is difficult to remove an equal amount from a separate tube container in a hair dye which exhibits a good effect by mixing the two agents in equal amounts. To solve such a problem, Japanese Utility Model No. 57
Japanese Patent Publication No. -20518 has been proposed. The tube of this publication is formed by blowing an inner cylinder of a polyolefin resin such as polypropylene or a synthetic resin material such as polyester into an outer cylinder formed of an aluminum thin plate or a laminated resin material. The inner cylinder is divided into a plurality of parts or is independent in advance, and the inside is filled with a material to be filled.

[0006] By uniformly pushing the divided inner cylinders, the tubes can be filled together with the material to be filled in approximately equal amounts. However, there is an inconvenience when a hair dye is sealed in this tube. It is conceivable that even if the inner cylinder is divided, corrosion occurs due to the difference in properties between the first agent and the second agent. Further, in this tube, if the divided inner cylinder is pressed evenly, the material to be filled comes out in substantially the same amount, but it is difficult to push the inner cylinder evenly.

As described above, in the conventional tube container,
It was difficult to give the first and second agents equally. Therefore, the present invention enables the first agent and the second agent to be supplied equally, and further comprises a first agent and a second agent that need to be separately enclosed in containers made of different materials due to a difference in liquid properties. It is an object of the present invention to provide a two-part tube container capable of enclosing even a prepared liquid preparation.
