The viscous material can be taken out through the cylinder.
Utility Model Registration No. 3084128

  However, since the cylinder is directly attached to the flexible container and is unstable, the container itself is twisted when the cap is opened and closed, so the opening and closing operation must be performed while holding the cylinder firmly. In particular, when the cap is tightly closed so that the viscous material does not leak, or when trying to open the tightly closed cap, the usability is not always good.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a difficult-to-stand container equipped with a spout body that facilitates opening and closing of the cap.

The present invention according to claim 1 includes: (i) a bottom disc made of a hard synthetic resin, an upper ring frame made of the same hard synthetic resin, and a cylindrical body wall made of a flexible film stretched between them. The top plate made of a flexible film stretched on the upper surface of the upper ring frame, and a truncated cone tube shape having a base end having a large diameter and a tip end side having a small diameter. The insulative container consisting of a stretchable part that is continuous and can be raised and lowered up and down with respect to the top plate, (ii) a state of protruding upward and a state of recessing downward at the tip of the stretchable part. A plurality of engaging claws bent inward downward are continuously provided around the upper surface of a flat circular plate that is displaced as long as it is not pressed, and the upper plate is moved downward. Each of the engaging claws expands outward when pressed, and the cap is configured to squeeze inward when the upper plate is pressed upward. A cap engaging convex edge for elastically engaging the engaging claw of the cap is formed on the outer peripheral edge of the upper end opening of the main cylinder, and the outer periphery of the main cylinder is below the cap engaging convex edge. This is a difficult-to-be-sustained container in which the spout main body is attached to a spout main body formed of a spout main body with a finger hook having a required width at the position.

The present invention according to claim 2 is characterized in that the spout main part is formed with a packaging box engagement hook having a required width at a position on the outer periphery of the main cylinder and below the finger hooking hook. The difficult-to-stand container according to claim 1.

In the first aspect of the present invention, an index finger or a middle finger can be hung on a finger hook of the spout main portion, and the cap can be opened and closed while supporting the spout main portion. It is easy to take out the contents because of such guiding action.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, the packaging box meshing ridge can be mounted on the edge of the notch formed in the inner lid of the packaging box so as not to fall into the packaging box.

As long as there is a plurality of engaging claws bent downward and inward around the upper surface of the flat circular plate that holds both of these states, the upper claws are released to release the engaging claws. And the outer peripheral edge of the upper end opening of the main cylinder. In addition, a cap engaging convex edge for elastically engaging the engaging claw of the cap is formed, and a finger hooking hook having a required width is provided at a position on the outer periphery of the main cylinder and below the cap engaging convex edge. An insufficiency container, characterized in that the spout body comprising the spout main body formed with the spout main body is attached.

  Reference numeral 1 denotes a bottom disc made of hard synthetic resin in which a vertical peripheral wall 3 is provided along the outer periphery of a circular bottom plate 2.

Reference numeral 4 denotes an upper circular frame made of the same hard synthetic resin as the bottom disk 1, having a cross-sectional shape in which a hanging wall 6 is continuously provided on the inner peripheral opening edge of the annular horizontal circumferential rib 5.
Reference numerals 7 and 7 denote gripping portions that are formed wide at opposite positions of the horizontal circumferential surface 5 (FIG. 2).

  8 is a flexible film made by laminating a thin layer of soft synthetic resin such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polyester or nylon, or a metal foil such as aluminum, and a hanging wall of the vertical peripheral wall 3 of the bottom disk 1 and the upper annular frame 4. 6 is a flexible, that is, a difficult-to-be-sustained cylindrical body wall that is stretched in a cylindrical shape.

  Reference numeral 9 denotes a circular top plate made of the same flexible film as the cylindrical body wall 8 that is stretched over the upper surface of the horizontal circumferential wall 5 of the upper annular frame 4 and closes the opening thereof.

  Reference numeral 10 denotes a truncated cone shape having a base end having a large diameter and a tip end having a small diameter, and is an extendable portion that is continuous with the top plate 9 at the base end. It is made of the same flexible film as the top plate 9 and can be raised and lowered up and down with respect to the top plate 9, that is, projecting above the top plate 9 and recessed below the top plate 9. I can become immersive.

  The bottom disk 1, the upper ring frame 4, the cylindrical body wall 8, the top plate 9 and the expansion / contraction part 10 are each prepared by welding or bonding together separately prepared viscous materials. Although it is a difficult-to-stand container to be accommodated, it may be manufactured by integral molding.

Reference numeral 11 denotes a hard plastic spout main body, which forms a cap engaging convex edge 13 on the outer peripheral edge of the upper end opening of the circular main cylinder 12. 13a is a slope formed on the outer peripheral side upper surface of the cap engaging convex edge 13.
The spout main body 11 is also a finger hook having a required width that allows a finger to be hooked on the outer periphery of the main cylinder 12 and below the cap engaging convex edge 13, for example, a width of about 8 mm to 15 mm. In addition to forming a flange 14, a packaging box engagement flange 15 having the same width as that of the outer periphery of the main tube 12 is formed at a position below the finger hook 14 and fixed to the lower end of the main tube 12. A work basket 16 is formed.

  The spout main body 11 forms a spout body together with a cap 17 and the like which will be described later. The spout main body 11 is welded or bonded or integrally formed to the distal end side of the stretchable part 10 in the fixing rod 16. Is projected above the top plate 9 so as to be positioned above the top plate 9 (shown by a solid line in FIG. 1), and the expansion / contraction part 10 is recessed below the top plate 9. If it is made to immerse in, it will be retracted and located under the top plate 9 (state shown with the imaginary line in FIG. 1).

  Reference numeral 17 denotes a cap that can be easily attached to and detached from the upper end of the spout main body 11 with one touch, and is the same as that conventionally used as a cap for oil cans or the like.

  When pressed from the upper surface or the lower surface, it is displaced between a slightly protruded state on the upper side and a slightly depressed state on the lower side, and a flat circular shape that retains either state unless pressed. A plurality of engaging claws 17b... Bent downward and inward are provided around the plate 17a, and the engaging claws 17b... Expand outward when the upper plate 17a is pressed downward. Further, when the upper plate 17a is pressed upward, it is constricted inward.

  That is, when the engagement claws 17b... Squeeze inward, the tip elastically engages with the cap engagement convex edge 13 at the upper end of the spout main body 11 (FIG. 4) and expands outward. Then, the cap 17 can be picked up from the spout main part 11 by releasing the engagement with the cap engaging convex edge 13 (FIG. 5).

  18 is a synthetic resin inner plug loosely fitted at a position on the lower surface side of the upper plate 17a of the cap 17 and inside the engaging claws 17b... When the cap 17 is attached to the spout main body 11. The upper end opening is hermetically closed.

  Reference numeral 19 denotes a synthetic resin cap cover that is fitted to the cap 17 so as to cover the engaging claws 17b... And the outer peripheral portion of the upper surface of the upper plate 17a (FIGS. 3 and 4). This prevents the engagement claws 17b from spreading outward when the upper plate 17a of the cap 17 is accidentally pressed, and the engagement to the cap engagement convex edge 13 is inadvertent. It is attached to prevent the problem from being solved.

  The difficult-to-be-sustained container having the above-described configuration is capable of filling and taking out the viscous material through the spout main body 11, and the cylindrical body wall 8 is made of a flexible film, so that the portion is folded after use. In a compact state, processing for disposal or recycling can be performed.

  Since the expansion / contraction part 10 and the cylindrical body wall 8 of the difficult-to-be-sustained container are flexible, the spout main body part 11 is not stable, but the cap 17 can be removed as follows, for example, as follows. It can be done easily.

  First, the expansion / contraction part 10 is extended upward, and the cap cover 19 is removed (FIG. 4).

Next, the forefinger or middle finger of both hands is hung on the lower side of the finger hook 14 of the spout main body 11 and the central portion of the upper plate 17a of the cap 17 is pressed downward with both thumbs.
That is, since the spout main part 11 is attached to the expansion / contraction part 10, simply pressing the cap 17 downward only crushes the expansion / contraction part 10, but puts a finger on the finger hook 14. Thus, the upper plate 17a of the cap 17 can be pressed while supporting the spout main body 11, and the engagement claws 17b can be easily expanded outward to disengage from the cap engaging convex edge 13.
The cap 17 can be removed by picking up the cap 17 after disengaging the engaging claws 17b (FIG. 5).

  On the other hand, when attaching the cap 17 to the spout main body 11, the cap 17 (FIG. 6) with the central portion of the upper plate 17 a protruding upward is mounted on the upper end of the spout main body 11. The forefinger or middle finger of both hands is hung on the lower side of the finger hook 14 and the outer peripheral edge portion of the upper plate 17a of the cap 17 is pressed downward with both thumbs.

Thereby, the engaging claw 17b is elastically engaged with the cap engaging convex edge 13 while the tip is brought into contact with the inclined surface 13a of the cap engaging convex edge 13 and is forcibly expanded outward.
If necessary, a cap cover 19 is then attached to the cap 17.

Thus, since the spout main part 11 has the finger hooking ridge 14 in the difficult-to-support container of the present invention, the cap 17 can be easily and one-touched by placing a finger on the spout 14. Can be removed and installed.
Further, the finger hook 14 is also useful for pulling up the spout main body 11 in a state of being retracted below the top plate 9 by hooking a finger on the lower side thereof.

  The viscous material can be taken out of the difficult-to-be-sustained container by removing the cap 17 as described above and using a required take-out device. The viscous material may be poured out from the spout main part 11 by lifting the container itself and inverting it.

  In addition, since the viscous material has a certain viscosity, even if it is attempted to take out the viscous material by inverting it in the conventional difficult-to-stand container, the material staying in the corners etc. cannot be guided well to the cylinder. When the sticky material is taken out by inverting the difficult-to-support container according to the present invention, the expansion / contraction part 10 protruding in a truncated cone shape on the top plate 9 is provided with the funnel. Since the viscous material is guided to the spout main part 11 as described above, it is easier to take out the viscous material in the container than the conventional one.

  In addition, in the case where a portion of the viscous material is once opened and then the rest is continuously stored in the difficult-to-support container, the cap 17 may be attached and sealed again as described above. Although it is good, if the inner plug 18 is removed from the cap 17 and is fitted to the upper end of the spout main part 11, it is possible to easily prevent foreign matters from entering.

Reference numeral 20 denotes a support frame body made of corrugated cardboard or the like for supporting the hardly self-supporting container and having a hollow cylindrical shape or a hollow polygonal cylindrical shape.
This is slightly larger in diameter than the cylindrical body wall 8 of the difficult-to-be-sustained container, and substantially the same diameter as the horizontal circumferential wall 5 of the upper annular frame 4, and the height thereof is the same as that of the cylindrical body wall 8. It is almost the same.

By inserting the support frame body 20 into the support frame body 20, the difficult-to-be-sustained container is supported from below by the horizontal periphery 5 and can be placed and stored in a standing state in a required place.
In addition, if the container is filled with a viscous material, if it is stored directly in a packaging box made of corrugated cardboard or the like, it will be pressed against the inner surface of the packaging box due to the swelling of the trunk. However, if the support frame body 20 is housed in the packaging box while being inserted into the support frame body 20 and is pulled out from the packaging box together with the support frame body 20, it cannot be pulled out due to body swelling. There's no such thing as

Reference numeral 21 denotes a packaging box made of corrugated cardboard or the like having a required size capable of accommodating the difficult-to-support container (FIG. 7).
The difficult-to-be-sustained container is in a state in which it is inserted and supported by the support frame 20, and in a state in which the stretchable part 10 is immersed below the top plate 9 and the spout body is retracted below the top plate 9. The packaging box 21 can be compactly stored and packed, and in this state, the entire packaging box 21 can be used for transportation, storage, and the like.

21 ′ is a modification of the packaging box 21, which has a required shape having a portion through which the spout body of the difficult-to-be-sustained container is inserted and a portion for meshing the packaging box meshing cage 15 at a required position of the inner lid 22. The notch 23 is provided (FIGS. 8 and 9).
This packaging box 21 'can be used for storing, transporting and storing difficult-to-be-sustained containers in the same manner as the above-described packaging box 21. Furthermore, when taking out the viscous material from the difficult-to-stand-alone containers, Can be used as follows.

  That is, only the outer lids 24, 24 of the packaging box 21 ′ are opened, the spout body of the difficult-to-be-sustained container is pulled out through the notch 23 of the inner lid 22, and the packaging box meshes with the edge of the notch 23. It is set as the state which carried the work bag 15 (FIG. 9).

Accordingly, the spout body is supported so as not to fall into the inside of the packaging box 21 ′. In this state, the cap 17 is removed, the whole packaging box 21 ′ is lifted, and the viscous body in the hardly self-supporting container is tilted. The material can be taken out.
And when it is necessary to take out only a part of the viscous material and store the rest, it is possible to store the hardly self-supporting container as it is stored and packed in the packaging box 21 '. it can.

  In the above description, the diameters of the packaging box meshing ridge 15 and the finger hooking ridge 14 of the spout main body portion 11 are the same, but they are not necessarily the same.

  Further, the packaging box meshing cage 15 may be omitted. In this case, the spout main body 11 can be supported so as not to fall into the packaging box 21 ′ by placing the finger hook 14 on the inner lid 22 of the packaging box 21 ′.
