Description

  The present invention relates to a refilling aid for refilling a container with a viscous liquid such as shampoo, rinse, body soap, and detergent.

  Conventionally, liquid materials such as shampoos, rinses, detergents and the like have been sold in bags, and it is economical to use the same container by replenishing a container that has been used up and emptied.

  However, refilling a liquid material from a commercially available bag body into an empty container is not easy because the mouth of the container is small, and sometimes droops from the container mouth during replenishment and is wasted.

  Further, in order to fill the opening of the bag body with the container opening, it is necessary to turn the bag body upside down. Since the contents are liquid, it is difficult to turn the bag upside down and refill the container well.

  Even if the replenishment was successful, these liquids were somewhat viscous and could remain in the bag, making it difficult to squeeze out and transfer everything to the container.

  In order to eliminate the above trouble, there is a bag body that attaches a hard cylinder body to the cut end part and makes it easy to insert into the container mouth and prevents dripping, but it has strong viscosity like shampoo and body soap Not suitable for liquids.

  Also, a liquid refill dispenser and a dispenser unit as disclosed in Patent Document 1 have been disclosed, but the structure is complicated and large, and takes up space when not in use. I couldn't find any refill aids that I could do.

It is a longitudinal cross-sectional view of the refilling assistance tool which is this invention.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a first embodiment of a refilling aid according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the refilling aid 1 according to the present invention has a bottomed upper surface opened, the bottom inclined downward toward the center, and a liquid outlet 2f formed at the lowermost center. In order to lock the cut end of the bag body to the bottom inclined surface of the main body 2, the main body 2 having a substantially rectangular planar shape, a hook 2 c attached to the inner side surface of the main body 2 to lock the scissors A substantially triangular protrusion 2d formed, and a plurality of guides 2b, 2b, 2b,... Attached in parallel to the inner side surface of each long side of the main body 2 in a vertically downward direction with a gap 2e. And a support plate 3 which is inserted from above into the gap 2e between the guides 2b and partitions the inside of the main body 2.

  The main body 2 has a large opening at the upper surface, and the planar shape is substantially rectangular. Further, the bottom surface portion of the main body 2 is inclined downward toward the center, and an outflow port 2f is formed in the central portion corresponding to the lower end.

  The inclination of the periphery of the outlet 2f is tighter than the inclination of the other inclined portions 2a. As shown in FIG. 1, the portion of the outlet 2f has a bulged shape and is inserted into the mouths of various containers. Thus, the liquid material can be replenished in a stable state.

  The hook 2c protrudes from the inner wall surface of the main body 2 and has a wide tip. The hook 2c can be placed with scissors or the like used when making a cut in the bag.

  The protrusion 2d is a member formed on the inclined portion 2a of the main body 2, and is a member that urges the liquid material to flow out by hooking the cut end of the bag containing the liquid material. The protrusion 2d has a substantially triangular shape, is gently curved when viewed from above, and is further provided with irregularities on the surface.

  Therefore, when the cut end of the bag body is hooked on the protrusion 2d, the cut end is always open, so that liquid pool can be prevented and the liquid material is more likely to flow out.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the support plate 3 has an upper projecting plate 3b suspended from the upper end, a recess 3d formed at the center of the lower end, and a lower end so that the upper end of the recess 3d is parallel to the upper projecting plate 3b. The projecting plate 3c is suspended and a gently curved portion 3a is formed on a surface other than the upper and lower portions.

  The upper and lower protrusions 3 b and 3 c are flat plates of the same type and the same size, and are suspended from the support plate 3 in the same direction. Further, since the bending portion 3a is variable when a certain force is applied, the bending portion 3a is straightened and the entire support plate 3 is inserted into the gap 2e as the support plate 3 is inserted into the gap 2e. I can do it. At this time, the bending portion 2a is acted on by a restoring force to return to the original, and a resistance is generated between the bending portion 2a and the guide 2b in contact with the bending portion 2a, so that the support plate 3 is maintained at an arbitrary height. Can do. In this way, for example, when used as shown in FIG. 4, the corner 9 c of the bag body 9 can be maintained at a position higher than the cut opening 9 b, and the liquid material can easily flow out of the bag body 9. Further, in order to facilitate the insertion of the support plate 3 into the gap 2e, the upper side of each guide 2b is rounded.

  By inserting the support plate 3 into an arbitrary gap 2e, a wall that supports the bag can be formed. Therefore, when refilling the liquid material from the bag body, if the inner wall is formed using the gap 2e closest to the center, the bag body will not fall down and the liquid material can be discharged more efficiently.

  2 is a perspective view of a second embodiment of the refilling aid according to the present invention, FIG. 3 is a plan view of the second embodiment of the refilling aid, and FIGS. 4 and 5 are longitudinal sectional views of the refilling aid. It is.

  As shown in FIG.2 and FIG.3, the refill assistance tool 1a which is this invention has the structure substantially the same as the refill assistance tool 1 shown in Example 1. FIG.

  That is, the refill assisting tool 1a includes a main body 2 having a substantially rectangular planar shape in which the bottomed upper surface is open, the bottom is inclined downward toward the center, and the outlet 2f is formed at the central lower end. A hook 2c attached to the inner side surface of the main body 2, a substantially triangular projection 2d formed on the bottom inclined surface of the main body 2, and an inner side surface of each long side of the main body 2 parallel to the lower side vertically and The plurality of guides 2b, 2b, 2b,... Attached with a gap 2e, and a support plate 3 that is inserted into the gap 2e between the guides 2b from above and partitions the inside of the main body 2. The support plate 3, the upper protrusion plate 3b is suspended from the upper end, the recess 3d is formed at the lower end center, and the lower protrusion plate 3c is suspended from the upper end of the recess 3d so as to be parallel to the upper protrusion plate 3b. A gently curved portion 3a is formed on the other surface.

  Furthermore, the main body 2 of the refilling aid 1a includes a mounting portion 4 near the center of the outer surface. The attachment part 4 is a connection part that is suspended from the outer surface of the main body 2 and has a substantially U-shaped connection concave part 5a formed of an upper and lower holding piece at an end, and an attachment hole is formed in the upper and lower holding piece. 5 and a suction cup 6 having an insertion portion 6a rotatably attached to the connection recess 5a via a connection shaft 5b.

  As described above, since the suction cup 6 and the connecting portion 5 are rotatably attached via the connecting shaft 5b, even after the refill auxiliary tool 1a is adsorbed to the wall of the bathtub or the like via the suction cup 6. The main body 2 can be rotated in any direction.

  As shown in FIG. 4, when using the refilling auxiliary tool 1 or 1a according to the present invention, first, the outflow hole 2f is inserted into the mouth of the container to be refilled, and then matched to the size of the bag body. Then, the support plate 3 is inserted into the arbitrary gap 2e.

  Next, the mouth of the bag body 9 is cut with scissors or the like, and the cut end 9b is turned downward and hung on the protrusion 2d so that the liquid material 9a flows out naturally.

  As described above, since the protrusion 2d is slightly curved when viewed from the plane, the mouth of the bag body 9 hung on the protrusion 2d is always held open, and the liquid material 9a in the bag body 9 is held. Is easy to flow out. Therefore, most of the liquid material 9a in the bag body 9 is naturally refilled into the container 7 if left in the above state.

  In addition, since the liquid material such as shampoo has a high viscosity, there is a high possibility that it remains in the bag body 9. In this case, the liquid material 9 a remaining after the bag body 9 is squeezed or rounded is stored in the main body 2. If it is squeezed out, it will naturally flow into the container 7.

  As shown in FIG. 5, when the refilling auxiliary tool 1 or 1a according to the present invention is not used, the scissors used for cutting the mouth of the bag body 9 can be hooked on the hook 2c. There is no need to go looking for scissors 8.

  Further, when the scissors 8 are stored as described above, the scissors 8 can be held firmly by pressing the tip of the scissors with the support plate 3 and can be used more safely. .

  Even if scissors are stored (even if not), the space in the main body 2 has room, so it is convenient to store small items such as hairbrushes. is there.

  Further, although not shown, the main body 2 can be used as an artificial flower or the like by reversing the main body 2 and can be used for purposes other than refilling the liquid material 9a, which is the original purpose of use. Therefore, there is no need to bother storing after the original use, and it is convenient to use at any time.

  In addition, about the magnitude | size of the refill assistance tool 1 which is this invention, although the following sizes are planned, it is not limited.

  First, the main body 2 has a height of 110 mm, a width of 122 mm, and a depth of 37 mm, and the height from the lower inclined portion start position to the outlet 2f of the height 110 mm is 15 mm. The diameter of the outlet 2f was 15 mm.

  The guide 2b is a flat plate having a length of 75 mm and a width of 5 mm, and is attached at a position 10 mm below the upper side of the main body 2.

  The support plate 3 is a flat plate having a length of 75 mm and a width of 32 mm, and the upper and lower protrusions 3 b and 3 c have a width of 22 mm and a depth of 15 mm.

  The wide portion of the protruding end of the hook 2c has a disk shape and has a diameter of 20 mm. Further, the protrusion 2d has a substantially triangular shape and has a height of 15 mm.

  When the refill aid 1a is attached to a wall surface such as a bathroom, the distance from the wall surface to the main body 2 is 33 mm. However, these numerical values are not particularly limited.
