Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a storage container having a device that allows liquids to be poured out as appropriate from a pair of liquid containers each containing a different liquid, such as when washing hair. In cases where the shampoo liquid and rinse liquid are used on the same occasion but have different purposes, it is possible to pour out only one of the two related liquids in the desired amount depending on the purpose. It's something I did.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

First, 1 is a box-shaped container body, which is large enough to accommodate a pair of liquid containers 2 containing, for example, a shampoo liquid and a rinse liquid, respectively, and the front plate 3 is removable. This allows the liquid container 2 to be easily replaced.

Inside the main body 1, a motor 4 is disposed between the pair of liquid containers 2. This motor 4 is mounted on a mounting base horizontally attached to the rear plate 5 of the main body 1. It is mounted and fixed on piece 6 with the motor shaft vertical.
A motor gear 7 is attached to the upper end of the motor shaft.

Further, 9 located on the lower surface of the top plate 8 of the main body 1 is a swinging piece, the base end of which is pivotally attached to a holding piece 10 protruding from the rear plate 5 via a pivot pin 11. The swinging piece 9 is configured to be able to swing in a fan shape in the horizontal direction.

However, this pivot pin 11 is located on the motor axis of the aforementioned motor 4, and therefore the swinging piece 9 swings on the motor axis as a base axis.

A mounting pin 12 is provided at the tip of the swing piece 9 in such a manner that it passes through a slit-shaped swing hole 13 bored in the top plate 8 and projects onto the main body 1. 12
The upper end is a spherical knob part 14, and by moving this knob part 14 left and right from the outside of the main body 1, the swinging of the swinging piece 9 can be controlled.

However, the other end of a return spring 16 attached to the front end of the top plate 8 via a mounting piece 15 is connected to the tip of the swinging piece 9, so that the swinging piece 9 is always pulled forward. A pair of liquid containers 2 to be located in the main body 1 in the state
It will be located in the middle.

Therefore, as described above, when the knob 14 is moved from the outside of the main body 1, the swinging piece 9 swings toward one of the pair of liquid containers 2, but when the force applied to the knob 14 is released, it returns to its original position. It returns to the intermediate position of the liquid container 2 as if pulled forward by the action of the spring 16.

Now, a pin 17 is hung from the center of the swing piece 9, and a drive pulley 18 and a gear 19 are fitted into the pin 17.

The driving pulley 18 has a circumferential surface that has a high frictional resistance by fitting rubber into it, for example, and a gear 19 located below it is adapted to mesh with the motor gear 7 of the motor 4.

On the other hand, a pump 21 is attached to each liquid container 2 to be housed in the main body 1 by penetrating the cap 20.

This pump 21 rotates a screw (not shown) at the bottom of the pump 21 by rotating a pump shaft 22.
The upper part of the pump 21 is for raising the content liquid, and the upper part of the pump 21 communicates with a pouring cylinder 23 that passes through the front plate 3 of the main body 1.
The rising content liquid passes through the spout tube 23 and is poured out to the outside.

At the upper end of the pump 21, the drive boot'
At the same horizontal position as J18, a driven pulley 24 is arranged to be fixed to the pump shaft 22.

This conventional pulley 24, like the previous drive pulley 18, has rubber fitted around it to provide a high frictional resistance on its circumferential surface.
As will be described later, when the driving pulley 18 swings in the direction of the driven pulley 24 and their peripheral surfaces come into close contact with each other, the coefficient of friction is large, and as the driving boot 18 rotates, the driven boot 1124 and, therefore, the pump shaft 22 can be rotated.

However, in the present invention, the rotation of the motor 4 is controlled by the aforementioned swing piece 9.
A switch mechanism is provided which achieves this by swinging.

There are various possible switch mechanisms with this type of mechanism, but to explain the embodiment shown in FIG.
Terminals 26 a and 26 b directly connected to the motor 4 are arranged on both sides of the swinging piece 9 in correspondence to the terminals 25 a and 25 b, and the motor 4 is further connected to a power source. It is directly connected to

Therefore, the terminals 25a and 26 on both sides of the swinging piece 9
switch wall by a and also terminal 25 b and 2
6b respectively form switches S2, and even if either switch S1 or S2 is turned on, the motor 4 rotates.Therefore, the swinging piece 9 does not swing to the right in the drawing. For example, if the switch S1 swings to the left again, the switch S2 becomes conductive and the motor 4 starts.

In FIGS. 1 to 4, a holding plate 27 protruding from the wall of the main body 1 holds the liquid container 2 and particularly holds the neck of the pump 21.
The vertical hole bored in the front plate 3 of the main body 1 is a peephole 28 for observing the reduction of the contents in the liquid container 2. A reference numeral 29 provided at 29 is a battery accommodating portion for accommodating a battery serving as a power source.

In particular, in the present invention, as will be described later, the positional relationship between the drive pulley 18 and the driven pulley 24 is extremely important, and the driven pulley 24 must be located at a predetermined position.
The storage position of each liquid container 2 integrated with the driven pulley 24 must be determined, and the above-mentioned holding plate 27 also fulfills this function.

The present invention has such a structure.

Now, for example, a shampoo liquid and a rinse liquid are respectively stored in a pair of liquid containers 2, and with each container 2 positioned at a predetermined position on the container body 1, the swinging piece 9 is moved. The swinging piece 9 is caused to swing by pushing the knob 14 in the direction of the liquid container 2 containing the desired liquid (eg, rightward in FIGS. 1, 4, and 5).

Then, the wall switch becomes conductive and the motor 4 starts.

At this time, the pin 11, which is the base axis of the swing piece 9, is located on the motor axis of the motor 4, so the gear 19, which is located in the center of the swing piece 9 and is attached via the pin 17, is attached to the upper end of the motor 4. The motor rotates while moving without coming off from the rotating motor gear 7, thereby rotating the coaxial drive pulley 18.

However, since the driven pulley 24 disposed on the pump 21 of the liquid container 2 and fixed to the pump shaft 22 is in the same horizontal position as the drive pulley 18, the swinging piece 9 moves toward the liquid container 2. Due to the rocking, the driving pulley 18 and the driven pulley 24 come into contact with each other on their peripheral surfaces.

However, since both pulleys 18 and 24 have peripheral surfaces with high frictional resistance, if the knob portion 14 is strongly pushed in a desired direction to press the drive pulley 18 against the driven pulley 24, the rotation of the drive pulley 18 will be reduced. Driven pulley 24
Therefore, by rotating the pump shaft 22, the content liquid can be raised and poured out from the spout tube 23.

After dispensing the desired amount of liquid in this manner, when the knob 14 is released, the return spring 16 acts and the swinging piece 9 returns to its original position in the middle of the container 2. The contact between the driving pulley 18 and the driven pulley 24 is released and the dispensing of the liquid content is stopped, and the switch (in this case, switch S,
) is cut and the rotation of the motor 4 also stops at the same time.

Therefore, when the container is not in use,
The swinging piece 9 is always positioned between the pair of liquid containers 2 due to the tension of the return spring 16, and the switches S1 and S2 are kept in the OFF state, so the motor 4 does not rotate and the liquid is poured out. Of course, it will not be served.

In order to pour out either one of the desired liquid contents, it is possible to achieve this by simply pushing the knob part 14 slightly forcefully in the two directions of the container in which the liquid content is stored, and after pouring out Just by releasing part 14, dispensing will stop and switch S will be turned off.
1 or S2 will be cut off.

The present invention has the configuration described above and operates.

Therefore, although it has a simple configuration, it is easy to use because it is possible to easily dispense and stop the desired liquid content with one touch, and is excellent and effective for home or business use.
