2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there have been glass bottles, metal cans, bottles made of synthetic resin such as polyethylene, etc. as containers for supplying a chemical solution to an automatic developing machine, and a bag consisting of an inner bag made of synthetic resin and an outer container such as cardboard. There is an inbox etc. As described above, the chemical liquid is transported using these containers, and the chemical liquid is supplied from the container to the processing apparatus.

[0003]

By the way, in the case of using the chemical solution filled in the above-mentioned container such as bottle, can, bottle, etc., a tank of a processing apparatus (such as an automatic developing machine) or another apparatus connected to this processing apparatus is used. Although it was necessary to transfer the chemical solution to a container or the like, this transfer work was complicated. In other words, the chemicals are often dangerous substances such as poisonous substances and deleterious substances, and careful handling is required in consideration of accidents such as spilling on the floor or adhering to hands or clothes.

Further, when the chemical solution is poured out from the tank of the processing apparatus by the operation of the processing apparatus, especially when the chemical solution is used in small amounts and it takes a long time to complete the pouring, the chemical solution is in contact with air for a long time. It will be. Depending on the type of liquid, there is a possibility of causing deterioration of the chemical liquid such as oxidative deterioration.Therefore, in addition to the reason described above, a method of directly loading the bag-in-box filled with the chemical liquid into the processing equipment is also adopted instead of the tank. Has been done. However, since the chemical liquid supplied to the automatic developing device has many liquid species, the storage space of the container tends to be small in order to make the entire device compact. For this reason, the size and shape of the container must be suitable for this, and a new form of bag-in-box has been desired. Further, in the conventional bag-in-box, the cap take-out port (outer box) has a cut-out perforation a as shown in FIGS.
And a fold b, and the spout of the inner bag is set in the hole obtained by tearing it off into a disc shape. As described above, the spout of the container is installed in a narrow storage space, that is, the spout from the bag-in-box. It has become necessary to pull out the plug and connect the spout to the connector (apparatus body side).

Explaining the connection between the spout and the connector,
As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the spout 10 is fitted to the spout A attached to the inner bag of the bag-in-box. The pouring plug 10 comprises a dust cap 11, a plug body 12, a plunger 13, and a diaphragm valve 14. The plug body 12 is a top plate 15, a rising wall 16 above the outer periphery of the top plate 15, and a lower wall below the outer periphery. The hanging plate 18 has an engaging portion 17 whose lower end is curved inward, and an engaging wall 19 is provided on the lower outside, and the top plate 15 is
A plunger mounting hole 20 is provided in the center, a spout hole 21 is provided around the plunger mounting hole 20, and a projection 22 is provided below the outer periphery of the spout hole 21. Then, the dust cap 11 is locked to the upper end of the rising wall 16 of the stopper body 12, and the plunger 13 is longer than the thickness of the top plate 15 and is movably attached to the plunger attachment hole 20 of the top plate 15. Also, the diaphragm valve 14 has a pouring hole 23 outside the pouring hole 21 of the top plate 15, the peripheral portion is locked by the locking portion 17 of the hanging wall 18, and the upper surface of the diaphragm valve 14 is of the top plate 15. The state is in close contact with the protruding portion 22.

[0006] The spout 10 is attached to the upper end of the spout A with a locking wall 19 in a fitted state after filling the content liquid. The state shown in the figure during storage and transportation (outer box not shown)
Since it is stored in, the content liquid does not leak outside,
Maintained in a sealed condition. When the content liquid is to be poured out, the dust cap 11 is removed and the connector B is connected to the plug body 12 as shown in FIG.
And the connector B are connected. This connector B
Is connected by a tube C to a pump (not shown). By connecting the connector B, the blanker 13 is pushed down, the upper surface of the diaphragm valve 14 and the projection 22 of the top plate 15 are separated from each other, and a communication state is established.
When suctioned by the pump in this state, the content liquid flows from the inner bag to the stopper body to the connector to the tube, and is dispensed by the dispenser.

As described above, when connecting to the connector, the spout is pulled out in a bag-in-box type container, but when the spout is set in the above-mentioned automatic processing device, the pouring spout is particularly used rather than the fixing operation of the spout. Needs to be able to be pulled out easily and large.

In view of the above-mentioned circumstances, it is an object of the present invention to develop a container composed of a bag-in-box which is compatible with a processing device such as an automatic developing device and which can be easily connected to prevent deterioration of a chemical solution. The purpose of the present invention is to simplify the work of setting the container in the loss processing apparatus.
