Various dosage forms such as solids, granules, powders and liquids can be used as the additive. The additive is carried on a porous body, adhered to fibers such as non-woven fabric, wrapped in an air-permeable cloth, etc., so as to be gradually released.

Embodiment 1

A hybrid container 200 of Embodiment 1 is shown in FIG.
A hybrid container 200 is composed of an additive container 10 and a container body 20 with a lid 21 . The container body is made of a material that allows squeeze pouring.
A container body 20 containing cosmetics or the like has a neck portion 22 having an opening 23 at the tip thereof, and a male screw 24 is formed on the neck portion 22 , and the neck portion 22 is covered with a lid 21 .
The additive container 10 has a mounting portion 32 having an internal thread.
The lid 21 of the container body 20 is removed, and the additive container 10 is screwed together to form a hybrid container 200 . Cosmetics and the like are stored in the container main body, and it can be used as it is or in combination with an additive container. This embodiment describes a combination use.
An additive container 10 containing various additives such as fragrances is prepared. The container main body 20 is filled with cosmetics or the like. The filling material of the container body can also be provided with a plurality of types. Therefore, by selecting and combining the additive container 10 and the container main body 20, a variety of hybrid containers can be realized.
In particular, it is possible to realize a cosmetic to which a fragrance is added in accordance with taste, such as a highly tasteful fragrance. Alternatively, it is possible to provide an agent such as a cosmetic that is suitable for a person's unique constitution, such as by adding a functional material that matches the skin type.

An example of the additive container 10 is shown in FIG.
The additive container 10 is composed of a spout member 30 in which an additive storage member 40 that encloses an additive 50 is housed.
The spout member 30 includes a mounting portion 32 that covers the neck of the container body, a spout 31 on the top, and a hinge cap 34 on the top. have. A female screw is formed on the inner surface of the mounting portion 32 so as to engage with a male screw formed on the neck of the container body. The additive storage member 40 is stored in the storage portion 33 .
The additive storage member 40 has a storage portion 44 in its central portion, and a through hole 45 is provided in the storage portion 44 . A valve 42 that opens in one direction is attached to the through hole 45 . The storage portion 44 is loaded with the additive 50 .
In this example, the additive can be exemplified by a drug such as a perfume held in a porous carrier.

The assembly of the additive container 10 is shown in FIGS. 2(a)-(g).
(a) shows a plan view and a side view of the valve 42 . It is a circular valve with a flat return bias applied by a notched piece, and the type that opens when pressed from below and closes when the pressure is released is illustrated. valves can be used.
For example, a valve body that is normally biased in the closing direction is disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2005-145465 proposed by the present applicant.
(b) shows a container 43 having a storage portion 44 with a through hole 45 in the center. A valve housing portion 46 for housing a valve is formed above the through hole 45 in the housing portion 44 .
In (c), the additive storage container 41 is constructed by attaching the valve 42 to the upper part of the through hole 45 .
(d) is an additive 50; In this example, the additive 50 is a solid carrier carrying a perfume. It can be formed by, for example, carrying it on a porous body. Various additives can be provided by preparing various fragrances. Although the drawing simulates a tablet shape, the granules can also be enclosed in a box or bag provided with a small hole. By making the fragrance slightly soluble, it can be used for a long period of time. Alternatively, if multiple types are exchanged for use, the period of use can be set short.

(e) shows a state in which the additive 50 is stored in the storage portion 44 of the additive storage container 41. FIG.
(f) shows the spout member 30. FIG. It has a cylindrical shape so that it can be attached to the neck of the container body, has a hinge cap 34 on the upper part of the spout 31, and is provided with a storage part 33 in which the additive storage container 41 is placed under the spout 31. A mounting portion 32 having a female screw is formed on the lower inner surface. A circular bulging portion 35 is formed on the lower surface side of the spout 31 so as to accommodate the outer diameter of the storage portion 44 of the container 43 .
(g) shows a state in which the additive storage container 41 is set in the storage portion 33 of the spout member 30 to construct the additive container 10 . The storage portion 44 is housed in the bulging portion 35 . A pouring path 11 is formed by connecting the through hole 45 , the valve 42 , the storage portion 44 and the pouring port 31 . Since the additive 50 is interposed in the pouring path 11, the taken-out liquid agent etc. will be added with fragrance or the like along with the pouring operation.

FIG. 3 shows an example of valve 42 or valve 49 and container 43 containing the valve and additive. The valve 42 has three spring bodies and is suitable for low-viscosity liquids, and the valve 49 has one spring body and is suitable for high-viscosity liquids.
As the valve 42, a flat plate-like valve biased in the normally closed direction disclosed in FIG. 3 of Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2005-145465 can be used. The valve 42 is flat and has a spring body 42b formed of three spiral elastic pieces that urge a central valve plate 42a in the normally closed direction. The spring body 42b is a strip formed by providing a notched groove in a flat plate that constitutes the valve body.
The container 43 has an outer cylinder and an inner cylinder, a partition wall 47 is provided in the middle, and a through hole 45 is formed in the center. The external shape is a cylindrical shape that fits in the cylindrical portion of the storage portion 33 of the spout member 30 . A valve accommodating portion 46 and an additive accommodating portion 44 are formed in the upper portion of the inner cylinder, and the upper end of the inner cylinder fits into the bulging portion 35 on the lower surface of the spout 31 of the spout member 30 .
The lower portion of the inner cylinder serves as a container main body mouth fitting portion 48 .
The container 43 is housed in the storage portion 33 of the outlet member 30 and connected to the upper outlet 31 and the opening 23 of the container body.
The valve 49 has valve plates 49a connected by one spring body 49b. This valve 49 is housed in the valve housing portion 46 of the container 43 .

FIG. 4 shows an example of use of the hybrid container 200. As shown in FIG. The hybrid container 200 is a container whose content is taken out by squeezing. When the hybrid container 200 is tilted downward to open the hinge cap 34 and the container body 20 is pushed, the contents can be taken out from the spout 31 .
An enlarged view showing the pouring state is shown in (b).
The liquid contained in the container main body is squeezed and passed through the opening 23 of the container main body, the valve 42, the additive 50 and the spout 31 and taken out to the outside. The liquid contacts the additive resulting in the addition of the components of the additive. In this example, fragrance is added. Since the valve body is urged in the normally closed direction, the valve is closed after the end of squeezing, and the additive does not enter the main body of the container.

A usage example in which the additive container 10 is used as a flavoring container will be described.
The additive container 10 is a flavoring container and can be easily set to the male thread 24 of the neck portion of the container body 2 filled with the basic product. When the bottle of the container body is squeezed, the pressure inside the bottle rises and the valve inside the aroma imparting container is opened. The bulk of the basic product is discharged through a porous body that contains fragrance and active ingredients in the scented container. Since the fragrance container has a return prevention structure (valve), the bulk that has passed through the porous body does not return to the basic product in the container body, and the quality of the basic product is maintained in the same state as before setting. Therefore, if you want to change the active ingredient you want to deliver to your skin, such as wanting to restore it to its original scent, or want to change your skin problem, you can remove the scented container and replace it as many times as you like. there is
