Description

[0001]
[Industrial application fields]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cartridge container suitable for being attached to an office printing machine, a copying machine or the like in a state filled with ink in order to send viscous ink to an office printing machine, a copying machine or the like.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, as this kind of cartridge container, as shown in FIG. 4, a rectangular outer box 1, a flexible inner bag 2 accommodated in the outer box 1, and a wall surface of the outer box 1 are penetrated. A cartridge container including a spout 3 extending to the outside and a cap 4 attached to the spout 3 is already known. Reference numeral 10 denotes an adhesive for bonding the outer box 1 and the inner bag 2 together.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
By the way, in such a cartridge container, when the inner bag 2 is filled with the ink 6, the inner bag 2 swells, and if left in this state, a downward force is applied due to the weight of the ink 6. This force causes distortion of the outer box 1 during transportation or storage, deformation of the inner bag 2, etc., and partial tension acts on the spout 3, so that the surface 8 of the opposing outer wall 7 of the outer box 1 and the cap 4 and the surface 9 of the opening edge of the opening 4 may cause the spout 3 to tilt, making it impossible to mount it on a printing press or copying machine. Such a situation occurs remarkably at the time of storage, and there is a problem that the spout 3 is damaged when it is further dropped.
[0004]
Therefore, the object of the present invention is to eliminate the problems of the conventional cartridge container as described above, so that the outer box is not deformed and the spout is not inclined even during transportation or storage under high temperature and high humidity. Thus, it is an object of the present invention to provide a cartridge container that does not become unable to be mounted on a printing machine or a copying machine, and that does not damage the spout when dropped.
[0005]

A part of the outer peripheral surface is provided so as to be in contact with a plane extending at least the surface of one outer wall of the outer box sharing the periphery with the opposing outer wall, and when transported or stored, The outer box is placed horizontally so that the surface is grounded, and the outer peripheral surface of the cap is also grounded .
[0006]
[Action]
In the invention according to claim 1 as described above, when the inner bag is filled with ink, the inner bag swells, and a force that moves downward due to the weight of the ink acts on the inner bag. Even if the box is deformed, the inner bag is deformed, etc. and partial tension is applied to the spout, this force is absorbed by the contact surface between the outer wall surface of the outer box and the surface of the opening edge of the cap. Therefore, the spout does not tilt.

In the invention according to claim 2, even when the inner bag is filled with ink, even if deformation of the inner bag occurs and partial tension acts on the spout, In addition to absorbing this force at the contact surface between the large rigid surface and the surface of the opening edge of the cap, this prevents the spout from being tilted, and in addition, a part of the outer peripheral surface of the cap on the outer wall of the outer box If the cartridge container is placed horizontally so that the surface on the same plane is grounded, a part of the outer peripheral surface of the cap is grounded, so that the spout is prevented from tilting.
[0008]
In the invention according to claim 3, a part of the outer peripheral surface of the cap is formed by placing the cartridge container horizontally so that the surface of the outer wall of the outer box is flush with a part of the outer peripheral surface of the cap. Is also grounded so that the spout is prevented from tilting.
[0009]
【Example】
In each embodiment shown in the drawings, the same parts as those in the conventional cartridge container are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is omitted. Mainly the different parts will be described. In the first embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the surface 9 of the opening edge of the cap 4 is attached in parallel with the surface 8 of the opposed outer wall 7 of the outer box 1. In such a case, when the ink 6 is filled in the inner bag 2 in the same manner as the conventional one, the inner bag 2 swells, and a force that moves downward due to the weight of the ink 6 acts on the inner bag 2, and this force is being transported Alternatively, even when the outer box 1 is distorted during storage or the inner bag 2 is deformed, and the partial tension is applied to the spout 3, the surface 8 of the opposing outer wall 7 of the outer box 1 and the open end of the cap 4. The spout 3 does not tilt by absorbing this force at the contact surface with the edge surface 9.
[0010]
In the second embodiment shown in FIG. 2, a part of the outer peripheral surface 11 of the cap 4 has at least one outer wall other than the contact surface 8 of the outer wall 7 of the outer box 1, in this embodiment the outer wall 12 perpendicular to the outer wall 7. There is no difference except that it is different from the first embodiment in that it is on the same plane as the surface 13. In such a case, even if the inner bag 2 is filled with the ink 6 and the inner bag 2 is deformed or the like and the partial tension is applied to the spout 3 in the same manner as the conventional one. In addition to absorbing this force at the contact surface between the relatively rigid surface 8 of the opposed outer wall 7 of the outer box 1 and the surface 9 of the opening edge of the cap 4, the spout 3 does not tilt. Thus, when the cartridge container is placed horizontally so that the surface 13 of the outer wall 12 is grounded, the outer peripheral surface 11 of a part of the cap 4 is also grounded, so that the spout 3 is prevented from being inclined.
[0011]
In the third embodiment shown in FIG. 3, a space b is provided between the surface 9 of the opening edge of the cap 4 and the surface 8 of the opposed outer wall 7 of the outer box 1 so that the surfaces 8 and 9 are not in contact with each other. In this point, there is no difference except for the difference from the second embodiment. In such a case, as in the second embodiment, even if the inner bag 2 is filled with the ink 6 and the inner bag 2 is deformed and a partial tension is applied to the spout 3, By placing the cartridge container horizontally so that the surface 13 of the outer wall 12 is grounded, a part 11 of the outer peripheral surface of the cap 4 is also grounded, so that the spout 3 is prevented from tilting.
[0012]
Each of the above embodiments is an ink container that uses ink as the contents, but is not limited to this, and may be a liquid container that accommodates any other liquid. The outer box 1, the inner bag 2, the spout 3 and the cap 4 are all formed using conventionally known materials. For example, the outer box 1 is made of paper, corrugated paper, etc. The bag 2 is made of a plastic single layer or laminated film, or a laminated film of plastic and paper or metal foil or the like, and a plastic molded product or the like is used as the spout 3, the cap 4 or the like. As for No. 4, workability is good, it does not deform so much, and a lightweight one is preferable.
[0013]
FIG. 5 shows the conventional example (FIG. 4), the first example (FIG. 1), the second example (FIG. 2), and the third example (FIG. 3) in an environment of 50 ° C. and 90% RH, respectively. The amount of change in the dimension Y of each cartridge container is shown for a day. In the figure, the vertical placement indicates a state in which the surface 8 of the outer wall 7 of the outer box 1 where the spout 3 exists is parallel to the ground contact surface and is located above, and the horizontal placement indicates the surface 8. Indicates a state perpendicular to the ground plane.
