Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] The present invention relates to a liquid discharge container with a cap.

As liquid discharge containers, there are known containers that discharge soap liquid as it is, those that discharge it in the form of foam, and those that spray. By erecting the stem and moving the stem up and down through a head with a nozzle fitted to the upper end of the stem, a pump inside the container is activated, and the liquid inside the container is sucked in and ejected from the nozzle. something is known. A cap is fitted to this type of container, and the cap is removed when the container is used, and the cap is fitted again after use.

However, it is troublesome to attach and detach the cap, and as a result, the cap is often left unattended, which may cause dust to adhere to the tip of the nozzle, or the liquid remaining in the nozzle hole to dry and become clogged. There was a drawback that it was easy to cause.

The present invention eliminates the above-mentioned drawbacks, and will be described below with reference to the drawings. Reference numeral 1 indicates a container body for storing liquid. A stem 2 is erected through the mouth of the container body in an upwardly biased state so as to be rotatable about the stem axis, and a head 4 with a nozzle 3 is fitted onto the upper end of the stem. When the stem is moved up and down through the head, a pump provided inside the container is actuated, and the liquid inside the container is sucked in and ejected from the nozzle. Since this pump is conventionally known, a description thereof will be omitted. Reference numeral 5 denotes a holding cylinder through which the stem passes, and 6 is a cap-shaped tightening cylinder screwed onto the mouth and neck of the container body, which fixes the holding cylinder and the cylinder of the pump. The container mouth portion is provided at an eccentric position on the container top wall 7, and a groove serving as a first fitting strip 9 is provided around the upper end portion of the container body portion 8.

Reference numeral 10 denotes a cap fitted to the upper part of the container body, and a protrusion as a second fitting strip 12 is provided around the inner surface of the lower end of the peripheral wall 11 to fit into the first fitting strip 9 described above. I've let it happen. The cap is rotatable relative to the container body. Further, the cap is preferably made of transparent synthetic resin. A window hole 13 for nozzle protrusion is bored in the upper front part of the cap peripheral wall.
Further, both sides and the body end of the front and rear diametrical portions of the cap top wall 14 are separated from the top wall, and only the rear end is connected to form an elastically deformable rocking plate portion 15. Also, from the front lower surface of the rocking plate part, there is an engagement plate 1.
6 is installed vertically. The engagement plate has on both side edges,
It has an inclined surface with a small lower width, and when the lower end of the engagement plate rides on the head 4 as shown in FIG. Set it in When the sloped surface of the side edge of the engagement plate is pressed against the side edge of the nozzle-equipped head as described later, the engagement plate is pushed up against the elasticity of the rocking plate, and the engagement plate is moved onto the head. It is designed to be climbed on, and the side edge of the nozzle head is also provided with an inclined surface for climbing on. Also, the side edge of the window hole mentioned above,
The side edge of the engagement plate forms a guide part that can guide the nozzle front part to move it in and out of the window hole 13 when the nozzle front part approaches the window hole due to rotation of the cap or container body. shall be.

In the above configuration, as shown in FIG. 1, when the container body is rotated clockwise from a state where the nozzle 3 and the rocking plate portion are substantially parallel when viewed from the top and the nozzle tip faces forward, As shown in FIG. 2, the side edge of the nozzle tip comes into contact with the side edge of the engagement plate, and the nozzle tip is exposed from the window hole 13 by being guided by the side edge of the engagement plate. Subsequently, by rotating the container body, the side edge of the head with the nozzle pushes against the inclined surface of the engagement plate, so that the engagement plate is pushed up together with the front portion of the rocking plate. On the other hand, after being exposed through the window hole, the head with nozzle rotates counterclockwise with the stem relative to the container body under the guidance of the side edge of the window hole, and when the engagement plate rides on the top surface of the head, as shown in FIG. As shown in Figure 5, the nozzle tip protrudes forward. By pushing the head down through the front part of the rocking plate, the pump is activated and discharges liquid from the nozzle. After use, by turning the container body in the opposite or same direction as above, the head with nozzle goes into the cap, and the engagement plate comes off the top of the head and lowers, so that the rocking plate is almost flush with the top wall of the cap. Return to the top.

This project has the above-mentioned configuration, and since the nozzle can be moved in and out by simply rotating the container body relative to the cap, it is convenient because there is no need to attach and detach the cap as in the conventional case, and the nozzle does not protrude. At this time, the engaging plate rides on the nozzle-equipped head and pushes up the front part of the rocking plate, and the nozzle-equipped head is fitted onto the upper end of the stem which is erected upward in an upwardly biased state. Therefore, the liquid can be discharged simply by pressing down on the front end of the rocking plate.Since you only need to press down on the front end of the rocking plate instead of directly pressing down on the head with the nozzle, it is easy to press down and the liquid can be discharged. This has the advantage that it is possible to prevent liquid such as mist or foam from adhering to the hands.

Claims (1)

[Scope of utility model registration request] The stem 2 passes through the mouth of the container body 1 and is biased upwardly.
is erected so as to be rotatable about the stem axis, and the stem is moved up and down via a nozzle head 4 fitted to the upper end of the stem, thereby operating a pump vertically disposed within the container body. In a liquid discharge container provided to suck in liquid within the container and discharge it from the nozzle, a first fitting strip 9 is provided around the body of the container, and the mouth of the container is placed at an eccentric position on the top wall of the container. A second fitting strip 12 is provided in advance, and a second fitting strip 12 is provided around the inner surface of the peripheral wall 11 on the first fitting strip.
