Reference numeral 1 in FIGS. 1 to 3 indicates a feeding container, which is composed of a screw rod 10, an inner plate 20, a case body 30, and a cover cap 40. The respective axes of the screw rod 10, the inner plate 20, the case body 30, and the cover cap 40 are located on a common axis. Hereinafter, this common axis will be referred to as the container axis L, the overcap 40 side along the container axis L will be referred to as the upper side, and the opposite side will be referred to as the lower side.

The screw rod 10 consists of a base 11 for holding the screw rod 10 in an upright position, and a rod body 12 having a threaded portion 12c formed on the peripheral wall, and the base 11 and the rod body 12 are integrally molded. .

The base 11 includes a bottom wall portion 14 in which an opening 14b forming a filling port for the contents M is formed in the center, a cylindrical operating portion 14a hanging from the outer peripheral edge of the bottom wall portion 14, and an upper end portion. and a flange portion 15 extending radially outward. The base 11 is rotatable around the container axis L via the operating section 14a, and the outer peripheral surface of the operating section 14a is provided with a non-slip structure as shown in FIG. A plurality of groove portions 14c are provided. Further, the upper surface of the bottom wall portion 14 is provided with a stepped portion 14d on which a lower end portion of a case body 30, which will be described later, is placed.

The rod body 12 is connected to the flange portion 15 of the base 11, and is configured so that an inner plate 20, which will be described later, can be raised and lowered along the rod body 12 via a threaded portion 12c provided on the peripheral wall. The rod body 12 consists of a cylindrical lower body 12a having an internal passage 13 therein, and an upper body 12b whose interior is partitioned into four spaces 17 by cross-shaped partitions 16. Further, the partition portion 16 is not limited to a cross shape, and may have various shapes. Note that by configuring the main body upper part 12b with the partition portion 16, the amount of material used for the rod main body 12 can be reduced and the weight can be reduced.

The lower body portion 12a of the rod body 12 has one or more window holes 19 in its peripheral wall that communicate with the internal passage 13. When the content M is injected through the opening 14b formed in the bottom wall 14 of the base 11, the content M passes through the internal passage 13 and fills the space 17 in the upper body 12b, and also fills the window hole 19. The filling space S in the case body 30, which will be described later, is filled through the filling space S. In addition, the window hole 19 can be made into various shapes, such as a rectangular shape and a round shape. Alternatively, a filling nozzle may be inserted into the interior through the opening 14b and the content M may be filled from a portion close to the window hole 19. In this case, the content M remains only at the upper end of the internal passage 13. , the remaining amount can be reduced.

Note that if the lower body portion 12a of the rod body 12 is a cylindrical body with an open upper end, and the cross-shaped partition portion 16 of the upper body portion 12b is integrally connected to the upper end, the lower body portion 12a Since the contents M can be filled into the space 17 and the filling space S from the open portion of the upper end, it is not necessary to provide the window hole 19.
Alternatively, a top wall may be provided at the upper end of the lower body portion 12a to close the upper end portion, so that the internal passage 13 of the lower body portion 12a and the space 17 of the upper body portion 12b do not directly communicate with each other.

The main body upper part 12b of the rod main body 12 is smaller than the screwing diameter of the inner plate 20 (described later) at the upper end (the diameter of the thread of the threaded part 21a formed on the inner circumferential surface of the inner cylinder 21), and has a screw thread on the outer circumferential surface. It has a reduced diameter portion 12b1 in which the portion 12c is not provided. For this reason, the reduced diameter portion 12b1 becomes the upper limit position of the inner plate 20, which will be described later, which is screwed into the threaded portion 12c, and the threads of the threaded portion 21c of the inner plate 20 do not interfere with each other. Further, when assembling the feeding container 1, the provision of the reduced diameter portion 12b1 also has the advantage that the inner plate 20 can be easily fitted into the screw rod 10 from above.

A comb-like member 18 is provided integrally with the screw rod 10 at the top of the main body upper part 12b. Although the comb-like member 18 has seven rod-shaped comb teeth in FIG. 2, the shape and number of the comb teeth are not particularly limited. In this embodiment, the comb member 18 is provided at the top of the main body upper part 12b of the screw rod 10, but the comb member 18 may be provided at the upper end of the case main body 30, which will be described later. It is also possible to provide one.

The inner plate 20 includes an inner cylinder 21 formed with a threaded part 21a that engages with the threaded part 12c of the screw rod 10, an outer cylinder 22 that slidably contacts the inner wall of a case body 30, which will be described later, and an inner cylinder 21. and a connecting portion 23 that integrally connects the outer cylinder 22 to each other. The outer cylinder 22 has at least one vertical groove 22a (two in the figure) on its outer peripheral wall.

The case body 30 surrounds the inner tray 20 together with the screw rod 10, forms a filling space S for the contents M inside thereof, and an open end 32 at the top thereof serves as an outlet for extruding the contents M. The case body 30 is a cylindrical body with an open upper and lower part, and a vertical rib 30a that fits into the vertical groove 22a provided in the outer cylinder 22 of the inner plate 20 is formed on the inner circumferential wall of the case body 30. . The vertical ribs 30a are engaged with the vertical grooves 22a of the inner plate 20, thereby restricting the rotation of the inner plate 20 about the container axis L. Note that the outer cylinder 22 of the inner plate 20 may be provided with a vertical rib, and the inner circumferential wall of the case body 30 may be provided with a vertical groove that engages with the vertical rib.

The inner tray 20, whose rotation around the container axis L is restricted, moves up and down as the screw rod 10 rotates through the base 11, thereby moving the inside of the case body 30 from the lowest position shown in FIG. It can be slid as appropriate between the upper limit positions indicated by broken lines in .

The case body 30 has a diameter that is almost the same as the bottom wall 14 of the base 11, and the lower end is fitted into the step 14d of the bottom wall 14. A tongue piece 31 is provided that protrudes toward the screw rod 10 and engages with the lower surface of the flange portion 15 of the screw rod 10. The tongue piece 31 holds the case body 30 so as to be rotatable relative to the screw rod 10 without coming off.

The case body 30 has an opening 33 having a smaller outer diameter than the main body at its upper end, and a cover cap 40 described later is provided to cover the opening 33. Note that an annular rib 33a that can be engaged with the cover cap 40 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the mouth portion 33.

Further, the case body 30 has a lower end surface 30b cut out in an arc shape. By forming the arc shape in this way, the contact area between the lower end surface 30b of the case body 30 and the upper surface of the bottom wall portion 14 of the screw rod 10 can be reduced, and the operating portion 14a can be rotated smoothly.

The cover cap 40 is a cap that seals the open end 32 of the case body 30, and includes a top wall portion 42 having a protrusion 41 in the center for housing the comb-like member 18, and an inner wall that hangs down from the protrusion 41. Consisting of a tube 43 and an outer tube 44 hanging from the outer edge of the top wall 42, a rib 44a provided on the inner peripheral surface of the outer tube 44 is connected to a rib 33a provided on the outer peripheral wall of the mouth 33 of the case body 30. It is held removably by fitting with an undercut or the like. Note that threaded portions may be provided on the inner circumferential wall of the outer cylinder 44 and the outer circumferential wall of the mouth portion 33 to threadably engage the cover cap 40 and the case body 30.

The cover cap 40 cooperates with the outer cylinder 44 to seal the open end 32 of the case body 30 by bringing the inner circumferential wall of the inner cylinder 43 into contact with (fitting into) the reduced diameter portion 12b1 of the screw rod 10. This makes it possible to avoid leakage of the contents M from the open end 32 when filling the contents M, and to protect the comb-like member 18 when filling the contents M.

In the dispensing container 1 having the above structure, the content M is not particularly limited, and may be of any kind as long as it is dispensed from the case body 30 and applied while being combed with the comb member 18. For example, it can be used in cosmetics and drugs for hair, drugs for animals, etc.

The contents M are liquid or viscous and are provided on the bottom wall portion 14 of the screw rod 10 with the cover cap 40 attached to the case body 30 and the open end 32 of the case body 30 sealed. It can be used by filling the space 17 of the rod body 12 through the internal passage 13 from the opening 14b and into the filling space S in the case body 30 through the window hole 19 and solidifying it.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing the use of the dispensing container 1 according to the present invention.
At the beginning of use, the case body 30 is grasped and fixed with fingers, and the base 11 of the screw rod 10 is rotated around the container axis L as described above. Then, the threaded portion 21a of the inner cylinder 21 of the inner plate 20 engages with the threaded portion 12c of the rod body 12, causing the inner plate 20 to be screwed up, and the screwing force causes the inner plate 20 to be pushed up into the filling space S of the case body 3. The filled and solidified contents M are separated from the contents M in the space 17 of the upper body 12b (the contents M in the space 17 are separated from the contents M in the space 17 between the comb-like member 18 and the upper body 12b of the rod body 12). (The rise is restricted by a disk-shaped partition wall installed at the top.) Therefore, it is rolled up into a cylindrical shape.

The cylindrical contents M are fed out to a position where they do not protrude from the tip of the comb-like member 18. For example, in the case of a hair styling product, the feeding container 1 is tilted downward as shown in FIG. By pressing against the scalp and applying while combing the hair, the content M does not directly adhere to the scalp, and the content M can be easily applied not only to the surface of the hair but also to the inside of the hair. be able to.

The dispensing container of the present invention can be widely used as a container for hair styling products, medicines, and the like.
