JP4583522B2 - Holder with pump for refill package - Google Patents

Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a holder with a pump for a refill package used in a mode in which a refill new liquid is accommodated and provided in a refill package, not a liquid container with a pump which is discarded when the container is used up.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Regarding the holder with a pump for storing the refill package, JP-A-4-321071, JP-A-4-321072, JP-A-5-37660, JP-A-6-171698, JP-A-9-95376 and the like are described.
[0003]
The refill package is described in JP-A-7-2284, 7-172466, 7-223651, and the like.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In the holder with a pump that stores the refill package, when the liquid is used up, the old package is taken out and loaded with the refill package containing the new liquid. It is required to set the tip accurately so that the pump can be operated by piercing the top end of the package. This task is not only complicated, but often results in an inaccurate set and the pump does not work well.
[0005]
When refilling, if the lid of the container is easily opened to reset the pump, the pump suction pipe may be removed. For example, as described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open Nos. 6-255684 and 7-223651, etc., the end sealant of the refill package is closely attached around the suction pipe of the pierced pump When using a refillable package that has a structure that prevents liquid leakage due to the structure, if the pump is set again, an old hole will remain in the end sealant of the package, and therefore the container If you turn upside down, the liquid may leak out.
[0006]
Furthermore, since the conventional holder with a pump is made of an opaque synthetic resin, the inside cannot be seen unless the lid is removed. For this reason, it cannot be determined whether the reason why the liquid does not come out even if the pump is operated is that the liquid is used up or because the pump does not operate properly. Therefore, if the lid is opened carelessly, the liquid suction pipe of the pump will come off and the above situation will occur.
[0007]
In view of the above, it is an object of the present invention to clarify an improved holder with a pump that can be easily loaded with a refill package and can easily check the remaining amount of liquid.
[0008]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
A holder with a pump of a refill package according to the present invention includes: (1) a housing having a lower end opened to a frame having a pump attached to the upper end (provided that the core is inserted when the following core is inserted) And a core that is detachable from the lower side with respect to the housing is prepared. The housing and the core When the refill package is stored in the core removed from the housing and inserted from the lower end side of the housing, the pump suction pipe is inserted from above the refill package. (2) The volume of the refill packaging body corresponds to the volume inside the core, (3) At least a part of the frame body and the core is made of a transparent material. Form or shape the opening By doing so, the remaining amount of the solution in the refill package and / or the tip of the liquid suction pipe of the pump can be confirmed. (4) The refill package is stored in the core in advance. Each is characterized in that it has a configuration and (5) the refill package is not housed in the core.
[0009]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
A description will be given with reference to FIG. A housing 11 is provided below the frame 10 where the pump 20 is disposed on the upper end side. A core 12 whose upper end is in a released state is inserted from the open end of the housing 11. It is preferable that the housing 11 and the core 12 have a similar cross-sectional shape and fit into each other as shown in the figure. In order to maintain the combined state of the two, the stopper mechanism 13 may be arranged. The stopper mechanism 13 has a configuration in which a tongue formed on the housing 11 is engaged with a recess formed on the side surface of the core 12, but other configurations are also possible.
[0010]
By forming at least a part of the housing 11 and the core 12 with a transparent material or forming an opening, the remaining amount of the solution in the refill package 30 and / or the tip of the suction pipe of the pump 20 can be reduced. It is preferable to configure so that it can be confirmed.
[0011]
The refill package 30 has the same basic structure as a commercially available product, but its volume corresponds to the volume of the core 12. If the volume of the refill package 30 is significantly smaller than the volume of the core 12, a situation may occur in which the liquid absorption pipe 21 of the pump 20 is pierced. If the volume of both is made to correspond like this invention, since the deformation | transformation of the packaging body 30 for refilling will be controlled by the inner wall of the core 12, generation | occurrence | production of such a situation can be prevented.
[0012]
In addition, as a preferable aspect, there is a configuration in which not only the volume of the refill package 30 is made to correspond to the volume of the core 12 but also the shapes of both are made to correspond. For example, if the cross-sectional shape of the core 12 is elliptical, the cross-sectional shape of the refill package 30 is elliptical. Similarly, the true circle corresponds to a true circle and the quadrangle corresponds to a quadrangle.
[0013]
In Japanese Patent Application No. 10-280523 previously proposed by the present inventor, the refill package 30 did not correspond to the volume but also did not correspond to the cross-sectional shape of the housing 11 or the core 12. When the force is applied when the liquid absorption pipe 21 of the pump 20 is pierced from the upper end side, the pump 20 is deformed. Therefore, a pin hole for fixing the upper end side of the refill packaging 30 to the housing 11 or the core 12 is provided. Although necessary, such a pin hole is unnecessary in the refill packaging 30 used in the present invention.
[0014]
The pump 20 is attached to the upper end of the frame body 10 by a screw method or a fitting method, and has a structure capable of moving the liquid suction pipe 21 downward by a rotating operation or a pushing operation. It should be noted that the tip of the liquid suction tube 21 has a sharp shape, for example, by cutting in an oblique direction, or an adapter having a sharp tip is attached. By reciprocating the trigger 22, the solution in the refill packaging body 30 can be sucked and discharged from the discharge port 22.
[0015]
In the present invention, the structure of the pump 20 is not limited to the trigger type as shown in FIG.
[0016]
The contents stored in the refill packaging 30 are not necessarily limited to liquids, and may be fluids such as gel or jelly.
[0017]
The present inventor has previously proposed the above Japanese Patent Application No. 10-280523 in order to solve the same problems as those of the present invention. The description of the embodiment in FIGS. 3 and 4 can be considered in the present invention.
[0018]
【The invention's effect】
According to the present invention, the refilling operation can be easily performed, and there is no erroneous operation such as accidental piercing of the liquid suction pipe of the pump with respect to the refilling packaging body at the time of refilling. The remaining problems can be easily confirmed, so that the problems mentioned above are solved.
