Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention enables a container main body for storing contents, a head disposed on a base portion mounted on the mouth of the container main body, and a reciprocal switching between a storage posture and a dispensing posture by tilting this head as a starting point. In particular, the present invention relates to a container that discharges the contents in the container main body through the nozzle by pressing the head in a nozzle pouring posture, and more particularly, to a container with a cover for storing at least the tip of the nozzle.
[0002]
[Prior art]
A conventional container provided with a tilting nozzle is, for example, described in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 62-769. In this case, in a container having a long nozzle for spraying the contents in a narrow gap, the nozzle is pivotally supported from the head so that the long nozzle does not get in the way.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the case of the container, when the nozzle is tilted and the nozzle is alternately switched between the storage posture and the dispensing posture, the user's finger may inevitably come into contact with the tip of the nozzle. In particular, if the contents are medical drugs, it is inevitable that they become unsanitary.
[0004]
The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and has a cover provided with a tilting nozzle that can switch between a nozzle storing position and a dispensing position without contacting the nozzle. The purpose is to provide a container.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
For this reason, the container with a cover provided with the tilting nozzle according to the present invention includes a container main body for storing contents, a depressible head disposed on a base portion attached to the mouth of the container main body, A nozzle that enables switching between a storage posture standing up from the pressing surface of the head and a pouring posture protruding laterally with respect to the container body by rotating around a fulcrum disposed on the head. the provided to discharge the contents within the container body through said nozzle by pressing the head spout orientation of the nozzle.
[0006]
According to the present invention, the container, while storing the tip of the nozzle with a retracted position of the nozzle, have a cover to release the stored state in the pouring position of the nozzle, the cover, the base The two cover arms that rotate with the fulcrum provided on the side surface of the part as a starting point, and the two cover arms held by these two cover arms, and the pouring posture of the nozzle by the rotation of the two cover arms from the container body side in contact with the tip of the nozzle, Ru and a cover body for accommodating the tip portion of the nozzle in the retracted position of the nozzle by further rotation.
[0007]
In this case, when the nozzle is stored in the cover in the storage position, or when the storage state is released in the dispensing position, the finger or the like does not contact at least the tip of the nozzle. In particular, when the content is a medical drug, at least the tip of the nozzle is always kept clean, so that it is hygienic.
[0008]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0009]
FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 are perspective views showing an embodiment of a container with a cover provided with a tilting nozzle according to the present invention. FIG. 1 shows the storage posture of the nozzle, and FIG. Each of the pouring postures is shown. FIG. 3 is a side view for explaining the operation of this embodiment. FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view showing the peripheral portions of the nozzle and the head.
[0010]
Container 10 is this embodiment includes a container body 11 for containing the contents, a head 21 disposed on the base portion 20 which is attached to the mouth portion 12 of the container body 11, the fulcrum O1 which arranged on the head 21 And a long nozzle 30 that rotates around the starting point. The long nozzle 30 tilts with the head 21 as a starting point, thereby enabling mutual switching between a storage posture in which the nozzle 30 is positioned upward with respect to the container 10 and a pouring posture in which the nozzle 30 is positioned laterally with respect to the container 10. To do.
[0011]
The container 10 also includes a cover 40 that rotates around a fulcrum O2 disposed on the base portion 20 of the head 21. In the cover 40, a cover body 41 is held by two arms 42, and a tip 42e of the arm 42 is pivotally supported at a fulcrum O2. As shown in FIG. 3, the fulcrum O2 is arranged at a position farther from the pressing surface 21f of the head 21 than the fulcrum O1 of the nozzle 30.
[0012]
The peripheral portion of the nozzle 30 and the head 21 has, for example, the structure shown in the sectional view of FIG. When the nozzle 30 is in the pouring posture, as shown by the solid line in FIG. 4, the introduction hole 31 formed in the nozzle 30 is in a position where it communicates with the discharge port 22 provided in the head 21, and the contents in the container body 11 are removed. It introduces into the nozzle 30. Further, when the nozzle 30 is in the storage position, the introduction hole 31 formed in the nozzle 30 is in a position not communicating with the discharge port 22 provided in the head 21 as shown by a one-dot chain line in FIG. Prevents objects from being introduced into the nozzle 30.
[0013]
As shown in FIG. 1, when the nozzle 30 is accommodated attitude standing upright, the user, as shown in FIG. 2, switch to dispensing position nozzle 30 protrudes sideways by tilting the nozzle cover 40. At this time, the cover 40 releases the nozzle 30 from the retracted state as shown in FIG. In FIG. 3, in the operation state from the storage posture to the dispensing posture, the storage posture is indicated by a one-dot chain line, and the extraction posture is indicated by a two-dot chain line.
[0014]
Thereafter, the user pushes down the cover 40 to the position shown by the solid line in FIG. 3 and presses the head 21 in the pouring posture of the nozzle 30, whereby the contents in the container body 11 are discharged through the nozzle 30.
[0015]
When the nozzle 30 is in the pouring posture in which the nozzle 30 protrudes sideways as shown by the solid line in FIG. 3, the user moves the cover body 41 from the position shown by the solid line to the position shown by the two-dot chain line, as shown in FIG. By lifting the nozzle 30, the nozzle tip 30 e comes into contact with the tray surface 41 f 2 of the cover 40 in the pouring posture of the nozzle 30. Thereafter, by further lifting the cover main body 41, the cover 40 stores the nozzle tip 30e in the storage posture of the nozzle 30, as shown by the one-dot chain line in FIG.
[0016]
The cover 40 has a guide surface 40f1 and a tray surface 40f2 for storing the nozzle tip 30e or releasing the stored state. Since the guide surface 40f1 has a predetermined inclination angle θ , the guide surface 40f1 serves as a guide when the nozzle tip 30e is stored and when the nozzle tip 30e is released, and the receiving surface 40f2 has a larger surface area. Since it is comprised, it becomes a guide at the time of storing the nozzle front-end | tip part 30e.
[0017]
As in the present embodiment, the cover 40 is preferably a sac-like one with its front end closed. In this case, since the nozzle tip 30e does not come into contact with the outside, it is further hygienic.
[0018]
According to the present embodiment, the container 10 rotates with the base portion 20 of the head 21 as a starting point and stores at least the tip portion 30e of the nozzle in the storage posture of the nozzle 30, while the storage state is maintained in the dispensing posture. It has the cover 40 to cancel | release.
[0019]
In this case, when the nozzle 30 is stored in the cover 40 in the storage position or when the nozzle 30 is released from the storage state in the dispensing position, a finger or the like does not contact at least the nozzle tip 30e. In particular, when the contents are medical drugs, at least the nozzle tip 30e is always hygienic because it is always kept clean.
[0020]
The foregoing is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and those skilled in the art can make various modifications within the scope of the claims, for example, the container 10 is in addition to the pump type. Aerosol type may be used. The contents may be not only a medical drug but also, for example, a hair conditioner, a hair dye, a lotion, and the like.
