Description

The present invention relates to a storage container that forms an internal flow path through which the contents, such as liquids, powders, or solids (hereinafter referred to as "contents") contained in the container body of the storage container, flow out to the outside when the contents are used.

In the rest of this specification, "mixing" includes both the mixing of the contents stored in the container body of the storage container with the mixture stored in the mixture storage container, and the refilling of the contents stored in the container body of the storage container into the empty mixture storage container.

Conventionally, for example in the fields of cosmetics, reagents, beverages, and food, the contents contained in a container are mixed with the mixture contained in the container at the time of use. In such cases, the following mixing method has been used.

That is, first, as shown in FIG. 23(A), remove the cover member, such as a rubber stopper, that closes the mouth portion 102 of the mixture storage container 100.

The contents stored in the storage container 104 are then introduced into the mixed storage container 100 from the mouth 102 of the mixed storage container 100 via the dropper portion 106 at the tip of the storage container 104.

After that, as shown in FIG. 23(B), a dropper member 108 is attached to the mouth 102 of the mixed substance storage container 100. Then, as shown by the arrow in FIG. 23(B), the entire mixed substance storage container 100 with the dropper member 108 attached is shaken from side to side to mix the contents and the mixed substance.

In this state, as shown in FIG. 23(C), the entire mixture storage container 100 to which the dropper member 108 is attached is turned upside down, and as shown in FIG. 23(C), the dropper portion 110 at the tip of the dropper member 108 is pressed from both sides with fingers or the like to eject the mixture through the ejection opening at the tip of the dropper member 108.

However, with this type of mixing method, as shown in FIG. 23(A), when the contents stored in the storage container 104 are introduced into the mixed storage container 100 through the mouth 102 of the mixed storage container 100, the mixed storage container 100 may tip over, causing the contents to spill.

In addition, at this time, the dropper part 106 at the tip of the storage container 104 could adhere to the outside of the mixed storage container 100, causing contamination.

For this reason, Patent Document 1 (JP Patent Publication 2013-177182 A) proposes a refill container that allows for easy refilling and prevents the contents from spilling during refilling.

That is, as shown in FIG. 24(A), the refill container 200 of Patent Document 1 is equipped with an attachment tube 206 that is attached to the mouth 202a of the container body 202 that contains the contents and has a communication hole 204 that opens into the container body 202.

The attachment tube 206 also includes a spout 208 disposed on the outside of the container body 202 along the axial direction of the attachment tube 206. The spout 208 is in contact with the mouth 210a of the storage container 210.

In addition, the dispensing portion 208 is formed with a dispensing hole 208a that communicates with the inside of the container body 202 via the communication hole 204.

The connecting tube 212 is formed to be freely compressible and deformable so as to connect the spout portion 208 and the mounting tube 206.

Furthermore, a seal portion 214 that closes the communication hole 204 is fitted to the mounting tube 206. In addition, a push-in portion 216 is provided between the seal portion 214 and the dispensing portion 208.

Then, as shown by the arrow in Figure 24 (A), by moving the dispensing portion 208 in a direction approaching the mounting tube 206 in the axial direction, the connecting tube 212 is deformed into a bellows shape as shown in Figure 24 (B), and the pushing portion 216 pushes the sealing portion 214 into the container body 202.

This opens the push-through hole 218, allowing the contents of the container body 202 to be refilled into the storage container 210.

Patent Document 2 (Patent Publication No. 6263401) proposes a refill container that allows for easy refilling and prevents the contents from spilling during refilling.

That is, the refill container 300 of Patent Document 2 includes a container body 302 in which the contents are stored, as shown in FIG. 25(A).

The container body 302 also includes an operating member 306 that is slidably attached to the mouth 304 of the container body 302. The container body 302 also includes a closing body 308 that closes the mouth 304 of the container body 302.

The operating member 306 has an insertion tube 314 that can be inserted into the mouth 312 of the storage container 310. The operating member 306 also has a locking piece 316 that locks onto the opening edge of the mouth 312.

The blocking body 308 is connected to the insertion tube 314 via a hinge portion 318, and is provided with a blocking plate 320 that can rotate around the hinge portion 318, as shown in FIG. 25(B).

The closure body 308 also has a sealing tube 322 that fits inside the mouth 304 of the container body 302 and deforms to open the mouth 304 of the container body 302 as the closure plate 320 rotates, as shown by the arrow in Figure 25 (B).

Furthermore, the closure body 308 has a locking portion 324 that locks to the inside of the mouth portion 304 of the container body 302 when the closure plate 320 rotates, thereby restricting further rotation of the closure plate 320.

By configuring it in this way, the container body 202 is moved in the direction of the storage container 210, as shown by the arrow in Figure 25 (A).

As a result, as shown by the arrow in Figure 25 (B), the tip of one side of the mouth 304 of the container body 302 presses down one side of the closure plate 320, causing the closure plate 320 to rotate about the hinge portion 318 and open, forming a flow path as shown by the arrow in Figure 25 (B), and allowing the contents of the container body 302 to be refilled into the storage container 310.

Patent Document 3 (Patent Publication No. 5409416) proposes a refill container that allows for easy refilling and prevents the contents from spilling during refilling.

That is, the refill container 400 of Patent Document 3 has a container body 402 in which the contents are stored, as shown in FIG. 26 (A).

A plug member 406 is attached to the mouth 404 of the container body 402. This plug member 406 has an attachment portion 410 in which a spout 408 is formed. A seal portion 412 that closes the spout 408 is fitted into the spout 408.

In addition, the mounting portion 410 is formed with a guide wall portion 414 that is erected so as to surround the spout 408 from the radial outside.

The guide wall portion 414 is provided with an operating member 416 that is slidably attached along the axial direction.

The operating member 416 is also provided with an opening pressure body 418 arranged to face the spout 408. This opening pressure body 418 is tapered rod-like or plate-like, and is composed of opening pressure body 418a and opening pressure body 418b, which have different axial lengths.

The operating member 416 is equipped with a connecting tube portion 424 that can be connected to the mouth portion 422 of the storage container 420.

Furthermore, it is provided with a restricting member 426 that is removably attached to the guide wall portion 414 and functions as a stopper that restricts the sliding movement of the operating member 416 toward the spout 408 side.

As shown in FIG. 26(B), the refill container 400 of Patent Document 3 configured in this manner can be moved in the axial direction between the container body 402 and the storage container 420 by removing the restricting member 426.

Then, as shown by the arrow in Figure 26 (A), the container body 402 and the storage container 420 are moved relatively closer to each other in the axial direction, and the opening pressure body 418 of the operating member 416 is pressed against the seal portion 412 of the plug member 406.

As a result, the opening pressure body 418 presses and rotates within the spout 408, opening one side of the spout 408, forming a flow path as shown by the arrow in Figure 26 (B), and allowing the contents of the container body 402 to be refilled into the storage container 420.

JP 2013-177182 A Patent No. 6263401 Patent No. 5409416

However, in the conventional refill container 200 of Patent Document 1, as shown in FIG. 24(B), the connecting tube 212 is deformed into a bellows shape, and the pushing portion 216 pushes the sealing portion 214 into the container body 202, so that it floats freely within the contents.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 24(B), when the contents of the container body 202 fall into the storage container 210, there is a risk that the flow of the contents of the container body 202 may cause the sealing portion 214 to become caught again by the pushing portion 216.

Therefore, depending on the position of the sealing portion 214, the push-through hole 218 may be almost completely closed, hindering the flow of the contents of the container body 202 and causing problems when refilling the storage container 210.

In addition, there are not two flow paths for the flow of contents from the container body 202 into the storage container 210, and for air from the storage container 210 to the container body 202; there is only one flow path.

As a result, the so-called "pulsation phenomenon" occurs, in which the contents of the container body 202 flow out of the container body 202 into the storage container 210 and air flows into the container body 202 alternately, which may interfere with the refilling of the contents of the container body 202 into the storage container 210.

Also, in the refill container 300 of Patent Document 2, as shown by the arrow in Figure 25 (B), there is only one flow path formed between the locking portion 324 and the inside of the mouth portion 304 of the container body 302.

In other words, there are not two flow paths for the flow of contents from the container body 302 into the storage container 310 and for air from the storage container 310 to the container body 302, but only one flow path.

As a result, the so-called "pulsation phenomenon" occurs, in which the contents of the container body 302 alternately flow out into the storage container 310 and air flows into the container body 302, which may interfere with the refilling of the contents of the container body 302 into the storage container 310.

Also, in the refill container 400 of Patent Document 3, as shown in FIG. 26 (B), the other side of the spout 408 of the seal portion 412 is in contact with the plug member 406.

As a result, as shown by the arrows in Figure 26 (B), there are not two flow paths for the flow of contents from the container body 402 into the storage container 420, and for air from the storage container 420 to the container body 402, but only one flow path.

As a result, the contents of the container body 402 flow out of the container into the storage container 420 and air flows into the container body 402 alternately, creating a so-called "pulsation phenomenon," which may interfere with the refilling of the contents of the container body 402 into the storage container 420.

In view of the current situation, the present invention aims to provide a storage container that has two or more flow paths for the flow of contents from the container body to the outside and for air to the container body, allowing the contents of the container body to flow out smoothly.

The present invention also aims to provide a mixing container set that has two or more flow paths for the flow of contents from the container body into the mixed container and for air from the mixed container to the container body, and that prevents the so-called "pulsation phenomenon" in which the contents of the container body alternately flow out of the container body into the mixed container and air flows into the container body, allowing the contents of the container body to be mixed and refilled smoothly into the mixed container.

The present invention has been invented to achieve the above-mentioned problems and objects of the prior art. The storage container of the present invention comprises:
A container body for accommodating contents;
a lid member that is horizontally fitted to an opening formed in a mouth portion of the container body so as to close the opening;
a substantially cap-shaped adapter member that is inserted and attached to the outer periphery of the mouth of the container body so as to be movable along the axial direction of the container body;
The adapter member is
an adapter body for being inserted around the outer periphery of the mouth of the container body so as to be movable along the axial direction of the container body;
a communication opening formed in the adapter member;
a contact protrusion extending from the inner periphery of the adapter member so as to face one end of the lid member of the mouth of the container body;
The cross section of the mouth is circular, and the inner diameter of the mouth and the outer diameter of the lid member are approximately the same size.
When using the contents contained in the container body,
The adapter member is moved along the axial direction of the container body in a direction approaching the lid member of the opening of the container body,
The abutment protrusion of the adapter member abuts against one end side of the lid member of the container body,
The lid member of the container body is rotated within an opening formed in the mouth of the container body, thereby opening the opening formed in the mouth of the container body,
At least two internal flow paths are formed through which the contents contained in the container body flow out to the outside via an opening formed in the mouth of the container body and a communication opening formed in the adapter member ,
The container body is characterized in that a partition plate is formed extending from the center of the adapter member to the inside of the adapter member so as to face the lid member of the mouth of the container body, and the partition plate is configured to form the at least two internal flow paths .

By configuring it in this way, when using the contents contained in the container body, the adapter member is moved along the axial direction of the container body in a direction approaching the lid member of the mouth of the container body.

As a result, the abutment protrusion of the adapter member abuts against one end of the lid member of the container body, and the lid member of the container body rotates within the opening formed in the mouth of the container body, opening the opening formed in the mouth of the container body.

As a result, at least two internal flow paths are formed through which the contents contained within the container body flow to the outside via the opening formed in the mouth of the container body and the flow opening formed in the adapter member.

Therefore, it is possible to provide a storage container that has two or more flow paths for the flow of contents from the container body to the outside and for air to flow into the container body, allowing the contents of the container body to flow out smoothly.

The storage container of the present invention is also characterized in that the lid member of the container body is configured to rotate vertically to form at least two internal flow paths.

By configuring it in this way, the lid member of the container body rotates vertically, so that at least two internal flow paths are formed by the lid member of the container body, and the flow itself flows smoothly without being obstructed by the lid member.

Therefore, it is possible to provide a storage container that has two or more flow paths for the flow of contents from the container body to the outside and for air to flow into the container body, and that allows the contents of the container body to flow out more smoothly.

The storage container of the present invention further comprises:
A partition plate is formed extending from the center of the adapter member toward the inside of the adapter member so as to face the lid member of the mouth of the container body,
The at least two internal flow paths are formed by the partition plate.

By configuring it in this way, at least two internal flow paths are formed by a partition plate that extends from the center of the adapter member to the inside of the adapter member.

Therefore, at least two internal flow path containers are formed, separated by a partition plate, and there are two or more flow paths for the flow of contents from the container body to the outside and for air to the container body, and it is possible to provide a storage container that allows the contents of the container body to flow out more smoothly.

The container of the present invention is also characterized in that the abutment protrusion of the adapter member is formed from a plurality of abutment protrusions spaced at regular intervals in the circumferential direction, and an abutment flow path is formed in the space between the abutment protrusions.

By configuring it in this way, multiple flow paths are formed by the abutment flow paths formed in the spaces between the abutment protrusions.

Therefore, it is possible to provide a storage container in which there are two or more flow paths for the flow of contents from the container body to the outside and for air to the container body, and furthermore, the multiple flow paths formed by the contact portion flow paths allow the contents of the container body to flow out more smoothly.

The storage container of the present invention is also characterized in that the height of the abutment protrusions on one end side of the lid member of the container body is the highest, and the heights of the abutment protrusions spaced apart in the circumferential direction are gradually reduced.

By configuring it in this way, when the contents stored in the container body are used, the adapter member moves along the axial direction of the container body in a direction approaching the lid member of the mouth of the container body, and first abuts against the abutment protrusion with the highest height, and the lid member of the container body begins to rotate within the opening formed in the mouth of the container body.

Then, the gradually decreasing height of the abutment projections spaced apart in the circumferential direction allows the lid member to rotate accurately around a fixed center of rotation, ensuring smooth rotation.

As a result, the opening formed in the mouth of the container body is reliably opened, and at least two internal flow paths are reliably formed through which the contents contained within the container body flow to the outside via the opening formed in the mouth of the container body and the flow opening formed in the adapter member.

This allows for the flow of contents from the container body to the outside and two or more air paths into the container body to be reliably present, providing a storage container that allows for smoother outflow of the contents from the container body.

The storage container of the present invention is also characterized in that after the lid member of the mouth of the container body rotates, the partition plate and the lid member are positioned parallel to each other.

In this way, it is desirable for the partition plate and the lid member to be positioned parallel to each other after the lid member at the mouth of the container body rotates, in order to ensure smooth flow of the contents.

The mixing container set of the present invention further comprises:
A content contained in the container described above;
A mixing container set for mixing a mixture contained in a mixture container,
A mixture container that contains the mixture;
An adapter body of the adapter member for the storage container described above is detachably attached in an opening formed in the mouth of the mixture storage container,
When mixing the contents contained in the container body with the mixture contained in the mixture container,
The adapter member is moved along the axial direction of the container body in a direction approaching the lid member of the opening of the container body,
The abutment protrusion of the adapter member abuts against one end side of the lid member of the container body,
The lid member of the container body is rotated within an opening formed in the mouth of the container body, thereby opening the opening formed in the mouth of the container body,
At least two internal flow paths are formed through which the contents accommodated in the container body flow out to the outside via an opening formed in the mouth of the container body and a communication opening formed in the adapter member,
The present invention is characterized in that the content contained in the container body enters a mixed material storage container and is configured to be mixed with the mixed material stored in the mixed material storage container.

By configuring it in this way, when using the contents contained in the container body, the adapter member is moved along the axial direction of the container body in a direction approaching the lid member of the mouth of the container body.

As a result, the abutment protrusion of the adapter member abuts against one end of the lid member of the container body, and the lid member of the container body rotates within the opening formed in the mouth of the container body, opening the opening formed in the mouth of the container body.

As a result, there are two or more flow paths for the flow of contents from the container body into the mixed container and for air from the mixed container to the container body, and the so-called "pulsation phenomenon" does not occur, in which the contents of the container body alternately flow out into the mixed container and air flows into the container body.

This makes it possible to provide a mixing container set that allows the contents of the container body to be mixed and refilled smoothly into the mixed container.

The mixing container set of the present invention further comprises:
A mixing container set for mixing and discharging a mixture contained in a mixture container,
A mixture container that contains the mixture;

A mixing container configured so that the contents accommodated in the container body enter a mixed container and are mixed with the mixed material accommodated in the mixed container;
After mixing the contents contained in the container body with the mixture contained in the mixture-containing container, the adapter body of the adapter member of the container is removed from within an opening formed in the mouth of the mixture-containing container,
a dropper member that is detachably attached to an opening formed in a mouth of the mixture receiving container and that ejects the mixture from an opening at a tip of the dropper member that can be opened and closed;
The present invention is characterized by comprising:

By configuring it in this way, when using the contents contained in the container body, the adapter member is moved along the axial direction of the container body in a direction approaching the lid member of the mouth of the container body.

As a result, the abutment protrusion of the adapter member abuts against one end of the lid member of the container body, and the lid member of the container body rotates within the opening formed in the mouth of the container body, opening the opening formed in the mouth of the container body.

As a result, there are two or more flow paths for the flow of contents from the container body into the mixed container and for air from the mixed container to the container body, and the so-called "pulsation phenomenon" does not occur, in which the contents of the container body alternately flow out into the mixed container and air flows into the container body.

This makes it possible to provide a mixing container set that allows the contents of the container body to be mixed and refilled smoothly into the mixed container.

After mixing the contents contained in the container body with the mixture contained in the mixture container, the adapter body of the adapter member of the container is removed from inside the opening formed in the mouth of the mixture container.

The dropper member can be detachably attached to the opening formed in the mouth of the mixture-receiving container, and an appropriate amount of the mixture can be dispensed from the opening at the tip of the dropper member, which can be opened and closed freely, which is extremely convenient.

The mixing container set of the present invention further comprises:
A content contained in the container described above;
A mixing container set for mixing and discharging a mixture contained in a mixture container,
A mixture container that contains the mixture;
An adapter body of the adapter member for the storage container described above is detachably attached in an opening formed in the mouth of the mixture storage container,
When mixing the contents contained in the container body with the mixture contained in the mixture container,
The adapter member is moved along the axial direction of the container body in a direction approaching the lid member of the opening of the container body,
The abutment protrusion of the adapter member abuts against one end side of the lid member of the container body,
The lid member of the container body is rotated within an opening formed in the mouth of the container body, thereby opening the opening formed in the mouth of the container body,
At least two internal flow paths are formed through which the contents accommodated in the container body flow out to the outside via an opening formed in the mouth of the container body and a communication opening formed in the adapter member,
A mixing container is provided, which is configured so that the contents accommodated in the container body enter a mixed container and are mixed with the mixed material accommodated in the mixed container;
The bottom of the container is formed in a dropper shape, and the container is configured to discharge the mixture from an opening at the tip that can be opened and closed.

By configuring it in this way, when using the contents contained in the container body, the adapter member is moved along the axial direction of the container body in a direction approaching the lid member of the mouth of the container body.

As a result, the abutment protrusion of the adapter member abuts against one end of the lid member of the container body, and the lid member of the container body rotates within the opening formed in the mouth of the container body, opening the opening formed in the mouth of the container body.

As a result, there are two or more flow paths for the flow of contents from the container body into the mixed container and for air from the mixed container to the container body, and the so-called "pulsation phenomenon" does not occur, in which the contents of the container body alternately flow out into the mixed container and air flows into the container body.

This makes it possible to provide a mixing container set that allows the contents of the container body to be mixed and refilled smoothly into the mixed container.

In addition, after the contents contained in the container body and the mixture contained in the mixed container are mixed, the bottom of the container is formed in a dropper shape and is configured to discharge the mixture from an opening at the tip that can be opened and closed freely, so there is no need to remove the adapter body of the adapter member of the container from inside the opening formed in the mouth of the mixed container, or to detachably attach the dropper member to the opening formed in the mouth of the mixed container.

Therefore, the appropriate amount of mixture can be dispensed directly from the opening at the tip of the bottom of the dropper-shaped container, which can be opened and closed freely, which is extremely convenient.

By configuring it in this way, there are two or more flow paths for the flow of contents from the container body into the mixed container and for air from the mixed container to the container body, and the so-called "pulsation phenomenon" in which the contents of the container body alternately flow out into the mixed container and air flows into the container body does not occur, making it possible to smoothly mix and refill the contents of the container body into the mixed container.

According to the storage container of the present invention, when using the contents stored in the container body, the adapter member is moved along the axial direction of the container body in a direction approaching the lid member of the mouth of the container body.

As a result, the abutment protrusion of the adapter member abuts against one end of the lid member of the container body, and the lid member of the container body rotates within the opening formed in the mouth of the container body, opening the opening formed in the mouth of the container body.

As a result, at least two internal flow paths are formed through which the contents contained within the container body flow to the outside via the opening formed in the mouth of the container body and the flow opening formed in the adapter member.

Therefore, it is possible to provide a storage container that has two or more flow paths for the flow of contents from the container body to the outside and for air to flow into the container body, allowing the contents of the container body to flow out smoothly.

In addition, with the mixing container set of the present invention, there are two or more flow paths for the flow of contents from the container body into the mixed container and for air from the mixed container to the container body, so the so-called "pulsation phenomenon" does not occur, in which the contents of the container body flow out of the container into the mixed container and air flows into the container body alternately.

This makes it possible to provide a mixing container set that allows the contents of the container body to be mixed and refilled smoothly into the mixed container.

In addition, according to the mixing container set of the present invention, after the contents contained in the container body are mixed with the mixture contained in the mixture container, the adapter body of the adapter member of the container is removed from inside the opening formed in the mouth of the mixture container.

The dropper member can be detachably attached to the opening formed in the mouth of the mixture-receiving container, and the appropriate amount of mixture can be dispensed from the opening at the tip, which can be opened and closed freely, which is extremely convenient.

In addition, after the contents contained in the container body and the mixture contained in the mixed container are mixed, the bottom of the container is formed in a dropper shape and is configured to discharge the mixture from an opening at the tip that can be opened and closed freely, so there is no need to remove the adapter body of the adapter member of the container from inside the opening formed in the mouth of the mixed container, or to detachably attach the dropper member to the opening formed in the mouth of the mixed container.

Therefore, the appropriate amount of mixture can be dispensed directly from the opening at the tip of the bottom of the dropper-shaped container, which can be opened and closed freely, which is extremely convenient.

Furthermore, according to the mixing method of the present invention, there are two or more flow paths for the flow of the contents from the container body into the mixed storage container and for the air from the mixed storage container to the container body, and the so-called "pulsation phenomenon" in which the contents of the container body flow out of the storage container and the air flows into the container body alternately does not occur, and the contents of the container body can be mixed and refilled into the mixed storage container smoothly.

Example 1

In Figures 1 to 8, the reference numeral 10 generally denotes the storage container of the present invention.

As shown in Figures 1 to 8, the storage container 10 of the present invention includes a container body 12 that contains contents such as liquid, powder, or solid matter.

As shown in FIG. 6, a fitting groove (not shown) is formed in the circumferential direction on the inner periphery of the mouth 12a of the container body 12, the width of which is equal to the thickness of the lid member 16 (described later), and the disk-shaped lid member 16 is fitted horizontally into this fitting groove.

As a result, the lid member 16 is fitted horizontally into the opening 12c formed in the mouth portion 12a of the container body 12 so as to close the opening 12c.

The container body 12 also includes an approximately cap-shaped adapter member 20 that is movably inserted along the axial direction of the container body 12 around the outer periphery of the mouth portion 12a of the container body 12.

The adapter member 20 has an adapter body 22 that is inserted around the outer periphery of the mouth portion 12a of the container body 12 so as to be movable along the axial direction of the container body 12.

In other words, the inner diameter of the adapter body 22 is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the mouth portion 12a of the container body 12, and the adapter body 22 is configured to be movable along the axial direction of the container body 12.

A locking portion 12b is formed on the outer periphery of the mouth portion 12a of the container body 12, protruding outward in the circumferential direction. The outer diameter of the locking portion 12b of the container body 12 is formed to be approximately the same as the inner diameter of the adapter body 22.

This allows the adapter body 22 to move in a sliding manner along the axial direction of the container body 12.

As shown in FIG. 1, a locking groove 24 for locking the locking portion 12b of the container body 12 is formed on the inner circumference near the end of the adapter body 22.

This allows the locking portion 12b of the container body 12 to engage, providing the function of a stopper between the mouth portion 12a of the container body 12 and the adapter body 22 of the adapter member 20.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the locking groove 24 is formed from four locking grooves 24 spaced apart from each other at a central angle of 90 degrees in the circumferential direction. Each locking groove 24 is also formed from two protruding portions that protrude inward and are spaced apart in the axial direction.

The adapter member 20 also includes an adapter tip 26 that extends from the adapter body 22 toward the tip. The outer diameter of the adapter tip 26 is smaller than the outer diameter of the adapter body 22.

As shown in Figures 1 to 6, the tip of the adapter tip portion 26 has multiple flow openings 21, i.e., in this embodiment, four flow openings 21 spaced circumferentially at a central angle of 90 degrees.

In this case, the flow opening 21 is composed of a bottom opening 21a that opens to the bottom of the tip of the adapter tip 26 and a vertically elongated side opening 21b that opens to the side of the tip of the adapter tip 26, and is formed to facilitate flow.

As shown in FIG. 6, a contact protrusion 28 is formed extending from the adapter tip 26 of the adapter member 20 toward the inner periphery of the adapter body 22 so as to face one end 16a of the lid member 16 of the mouth 12a of the container body 12.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, the abutment protrusions 28 of the adapter member 20 are formed from a plurality of arc-shaped plate-shaped abutment protrusions 28 spaced at regular intervals in the circumferential direction.

In this embodiment, in FIG. 6, it is formed from a total of three arcuate plate-shaped abutment protrusions 28 on the left side and both sides of the circumference of the left side (although the abutment protrusion 28 on the near side is not visible in FIG. 6).

Then, the contact flow path 30 is formed in the space between the contact protrusions 28.

As a result, as described below, there are two or more flow paths for the flow of contents from the container body 12 to the outside and for air to the container body 12, and the multiple abutment part flow paths 30 formed by the abutment part flow paths 30 allow the contents of the container body 12 to flow out more smoothly.

The height of the abutment protrusions 28a on one end 16a side of the lid member 16 of the mouth 12a of the container body 12 is the highest, and the heights of the abutment protrusions 28b spaced apart in the circumferential direction are gradually reduced.

As described below, by configuring it in this manner, when the contents contained in the container body 12 are used, the adapter member 20 is moved along the axial direction of the container body 12 in a direction approaching the lid member 16 of the mouth portion 12a of the container body 12, and first comes into contact with the abutment protrusion 28a, which has the highest height, and the lid member 16 of the container body 12 begins to rotate within the opening 12c formed in the mouth portion 12a of the container body 12.

Then, the circumferentially spaced abutment protrusions 28b, whose heights gradually decrease, allow the lid member 16 to rotate accurately around a rotation center (the front and back sides in Figures 6 and 7) that passes through a fixed center, allowing for smooth rotation.

The outer diameter of the lid member 16 is approximately the same as the inner diameter of the mouth 12a of the container body 12, so that even after rotation is complete, the lid member 16 remains held within the mouth 12a of the container body 12 and is configured not to impede the flow of the contents when they are discharged.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 6, a partition plate 31 is formed extending from the center of the inner bottom of the adapter tip 26 toward the lid member 16 on the inside of the adapter member 20 so as to face the lid member 16 of the mouth 12a of the container body 12.

This partition plate 31 is configured to form at least two internal flow paths S1 and S2, as described below.

In this embodiment, as shown in Figures 6 and 7, two flow openings 21 are formed in each of the two internal flow paths S1 and S2.

Furthermore, as shown in Figs. 1 to 6, a stopper member 32 is provided between the adapter body 22 of the adapter member 20 and the shoulder portion 13a of the body portion 13 of the container body 12, and is detachably attached around the mouth portion 12a.

As shown in FIG. 1, the stopper member 32 has a stopper body 34 that functions as an arc-shaped spring that fits around the mouth 12a of the container body 12. Also, opening ends 36a and 36b are formed on one end side of the stopper body 34. Furthermore, on the opposite side of these opening ends 36a and 36b, a plate-shaped knob portion 38 is formed to stand outward from the stopper body 34.

As described below, this stopper member 32 is configured so that when the contents contained in the container body 12 are to be used, the stopper member 32 can be removed from around the mouth portion 12a of the container body 12, and the adapter member 20 can be moved along the axial direction of the container body 12 in a direction approaching the lid member 16 of the mouth portion 12a of the container body 12.

The storage container 10 of the present invention configured in this manner is used as follows when using the contents stored in the container body 12.

First, as shown by arrow A in FIG. 6, by grasping and pulling the gripping portion 38 of the stopper member 32, for example with the fingers, the action of the stopper body 34, which has the function of a spring, causes the opening ends 36a and 36b on one end side of the stopper body 34 to widen, and the stopper member 32 can be removed from around the mouth portion 12a of the container body 12.

In this state, the adapter member 20 is moved along the axial direction of the container body 12 in a direction approaching the lid member 16 of the mouth portion 12a of the container body 12, as shown by arrow B in Figures 6 and 7.

As a result, as shown in Figures 6 and 7, the abutment protrusion 28 of the adapter member 20 abuts against one end 16a of the lid member 16 of the container body 12.

The height of the abutment protrusions 28a on one end 16a side of the lid member 16 of the mouth 12a of the container body 12 is the highest, and the heights of the abutment protrusions 28b spaced apart in the circumferential direction are gradually reduced.

Therefore, when the contents stored in the container body 12 are used, the adapter member 20 is moved along the axial direction of the container body 12 in a direction approaching the lid member 16 of the mouth portion 12a of the container body 12, and the lid member 16 of the container body 12 first comes into contact with the abutment protrusion 28a, which has the highest height, and begins to rotate within the opening 12c formed in the mouth portion 12a of the container body 12, as shown by arrow C in Figure 6.

Then, the circumferentially spaced abutment protrusions 28b, whose heights gradually decrease, allow the lid member 16 to rotate accurately around a rotation center (the front and back sides in Figures 6 and 7) that passes through a fixed center, allowing for smooth rotation.

As a result, the opening 12c formed in the mouth 12a of the container body 12 is reliably opened, and as shown by the arrows in Figure 7, at least two internal flow paths D1 and D2 are reliably formed through which the contents contained within the container body 12 flow out to the outside via the opening 12c formed in the mouth 12a of the container body 12 and the flow opening 21 formed in the adapter tip 26 of the adapter member 20.

Therefore, there are two or more reliable paths for the flow of contents from the container body 12 to the outside and for air to flow into the container body 12, making it even easier for the contents of the container body 12 to flow out.

In this case, as shown in FIG. 7, the lid member 16 of the container body 12 is configured to rotate vertically to form at least two internal flow paths D1 and D2.

By configuring it in this way, the lid member 16 of the container body 12 rotates vertically, so that at least two internal flow paths D1 and D2 are formed by the lid member 16 of the container body 12, and the flow itself flows smoothly without being obstructed by the lid member 16.

Therefore, there are two or more flow paths for the flow of contents from the container body 12 to the outside and for air to flow into the container body 12, and the outflow of the contents of the container body 12 can be carried out even more smoothly.

In addition, a contact flow path 30 is formed in the space between the contact protrusions 28.

As a result, as described below, there are two or more flow paths for the flow of contents from the container body 12 to the outside and for air to the container body 12, and the multiple abutment part flow paths 30 formed by the abutment part flow paths 30 allow the contents of the container body 12 to flow out more smoothly.

As shown in FIG. 6, a partition plate 31 is formed extending from the center of the inner bottom of the adapter tip 26 toward the lid member 16 on the inside of the adapter member 20 so as to face the lid member 16 of the mouth 12a of the container body 12.

This partition plate 31 is configured to form at least two internal flow paths S1 and S2.

Therefore, at least two internal flow paths S1 and S2 are formed, separated by the partition plate 31, and there are two or more flow paths for the flow of contents from the container body 12 to the outside and for air to the container body 12, and furthermore, the outflow of the contents of the container body 12 can be performed more smoothly.

In this case, as shown in FIG. 7, it is desirable to configure the partition plate 31 and the lid member 16 to be positioned parallel to each other after the lid member 16 of the mouth portion 12a of the container body 12 rotates, in order to facilitate smooth flow of the contents.

In addition, in this embodiment, the cover member 16 of the container body 12 is configured to rotate in the vertical direction, but it is not necessarily required to rotate to the vertical direction.
In this case, the partition plate 31 does not necessarily have to be positioned vertically, and it is sufficient that the partition plate 31 and the cover member 16 are positioned parallel to each other.
Furthermore, as long as the flow is not obstructed, the partition plate 31 and the cover member 16 do not need to be positioned precisely parallel to each other.

In this embodiment, an adapter tip portion 26 is provided at the tip of the adapter body 22, and the communication opening portion 21 is provided in the adapter tip portion 26. However, it is also possible to provide the communication opening portion 21 directly in the adapter body 22 without providing the adapter tip portion 26.
In this case, a partition plate 31 extending toward the cover member 16 is provided inside the adapter body 22 .

The storage container 10 of the present invention may be arranged as shown in FIG. 7, for example, to use the contents of the container body 12, which may consist of a volatile liquid (such as an air freshener).

The storage container 10 of the present invention may also be placed upside down as shown in FIG. 8 compared to FIG. 7, and the contents in the container body 12 may be discharged through the flow opening 21 formed in the adapter tip 26 of the adapter member 20 for use.

The number and positions of the flow openings 21 formed in the adapter tip 26 of the adapter member 20, the number and positions of the abutment protrusions 28, and the number and positions of the partition plates 31 are not particularly limited.

Example 2
9 is an exploded oblique view showing a mixing container set 11 using the storage container 10 of the present invention, FIG. 10 is an oblique view of the mixing container set 11 of FIG. 9, FIG. 11 is a front view of the mixing container set 11 of FIG. 9, FIG. 12 is a side view of the mixing container set 11 of FIG. 9, FIG. 13 is a top view of the mixing container set 11 of FIG. 9, FIG. 14 is an oblique view of the mixing container set 11 of FIG. 9 when the contents contained in the container body 12 are used, and FIG. 15 is a vertical cross-sectional view of the mixing container set 11 of FIG. 9 when the contents contained in the container body 12 are used.

The storage container 10 of this embodiment has a configuration basically similar to that of the storage container 10 of the first embodiment shown in Figures 1 to 8, and the same components are given the same reference numbers and detailed descriptions thereof are omitted.

As shown in Figures 9 to 15, the mixing container set 11 of this embodiment is a mixing container set 11 for mixing the contents stored in the storage container 10 of Example 1 shown in Figures 1 to 8 with the mixture stored in the mixture storage container 40.

In this case, as mentioned above, "mixing" includes both the mixing of the contents stored in the container body 12 of the storage container 10 with the mixture stored in the mixed container 40, and the refilling of the contents stored in the container body 12 of the storage container 10 into the emptied mixed container 40.

The mixing container set 11 of this embodiment is equipped with a mixed material storage container 40 that stores the mixed material, as shown in Figures 9 to 15.

The adapter tip 26 of the adapter member 20 of the storage container 10 is detachably attached within the opening 44 formed in the mouth 42 of the mixture storage container 40.

In this case, as shown in FIG. 15, an engagement protrusion 25 is formed on the outer periphery of the base end of the adapter tip 26, so that the adapter tip 26 of the adapter member 20 of the storage container 10 fits tightly into the opening 44 formed in the mouth 42 of the mixture storage container 40, preventing leakage of the contents due to the adapter tip 26 of the adapter member 20 of the storage container 10 falling off.

Then, in the same manner as in Example 1 above, when mixing the contents contained in the container body 12 with the mixture contained in the mixture container 40, it is used as follows.

First, the gripping portion 38 of the stopper member 32 is grasped, for example, with the fingers and pulled, and the action of the stopper body 34, which has the function of a spring, causes the opening ends 36a and 36b on one side of the stopper body 34 to widen, and the stopper member 32 is removed from around the mouth portion 12a of the container body 12.

Then, in this state, the container body 12 is pushed toward the mixture storage container 40, thereby moving the adapter member 20 along the axial direction of the container body 12 in a direction approaching the lid member 16 of the mouth portion 12a of the container body 12.

As a result, in the same manner as in Example 1 above, the abutment protrusion 28 of the adapter member 20 abuts against one end 16a of the lid member 16 of the container body 12, and the lid member 16 of the container body 12 rotates within the opening 12c formed in the mouth 12a of the container body 12, thereby opening the opening 12c formed in the mouth 12a of the container body 12.

As a result, there are two or more flow paths for the flow of contents from the container body 12 into the mixed storage container 40 and for air from the mixed storage container 40 to the container body 12, and the so-called "pulsation phenomenon" does not occur, in which the contents of the container body 12 flow out into the mixed storage container 40 and air flows into the container body 12 alternately.

Therefore, it is possible to provide a mixing container set 11 that allows the contents of the container body 12 to be smoothly mixed and refilled into the mixed storage container 40.

16A and 16B are front views showing another embodiment of a mixing container set 11 using a storage container 10 of the present invention, in which FIG. 16A is a front view showing a mixed storage container 40 of the present invention, FIG. 16B is a front view showing a storage container 10 of the present invention, FIG. 16C is a front view showing a dropper member 50 of the present invention, and FIG. 17 is a vertical view illustrating a state in which an adapter tip portion 26 of an adapter member 20 of a storage container 10 is removed from an opening portion 44 formed in a mouth portion 42 of a mixed storage container 40 in the mixing container set 11 of the present invention. FIG. 18 is a cross-sectional view, and FIG. 19 is a front view illustrating the state in which the dropper member 50 is detachably attached to the opening 44 formed in the mouth 42 of the mixed storage container 40. FIG. 20 is a front view illustrating the state in which the dropper member 50 is detachably attached to the opening 44 formed in the mouth 42 of the mixed storage container 40 with the lid 52 of the dropper member 50 removed when the dropper member 50 is detachably attached to the opening 44 formed in the mouth 42 of the mixed storage container 40.

The mixing vessel set 11 of this embodiment has a configuration basically similar to that of the mixing vessel set 11 of the first embodiment shown in Figures 9 to 15, and the same components are given the same reference numbers and detailed descriptions thereof are omitted.

As shown in FIG. 16, the mixing container set 11 of this embodiment is composed of a mixed container 40, a container 10 composed of a container body 12 to which an adapter member 20 and a stopper member 32 are attached, and a dropper member 50.

In addition, the dropper member 50 has multiple thin, elongated, concave pressing sections 58 (in this embodiment, three, spaced circumferentially at a central angle of 120 degrees) formed in the approximate center, which makes the ejection operation easier.

When in use, the cover member, such as a rubber stopper, closing the mouth of the mixed storage container 40 is removed, and the adapter tip 26 of the adapter member 20 of the storage container 10 is detachably attached to the opening 44 formed in the mouth 42 of the mixed storage container 40, as in Figures 9 to 15 of Example 2.

As in Examples 1 and 2, first, the gripping portion 38 of the stopper member 32 is grasped, for example, with the fingers and pulled, and the opening ends 36a and 36b on one side of the stopper body 34 are expanded by the action of the stopper body 34, which has the function of a spring, and the stopper member 32 is removed from around the mouth portion 12a of the container body 12.

Then, in this state, the container body 12 is pushed toward the mixture storage container 40, thereby moving the adapter member 20 along the axial direction of the container body 12 in a direction approaching the lid member 16 of the mouth portion 12a of the container body 12.

As a result, in the same manner as in Examples 1 and 2 above, the abutment protrusion 28 of the adapter member 20 abuts against one end 16a of the lid member 16 of the container body 12, and the lid member 16 of the container body 12 rotates within the opening 12c formed in the mouth 12a of the container body 12, thereby opening the opening 12c formed in the mouth 12a of the container body 12.

As a result, there are two or more flow paths for the flow of contents from the container body 12 into the mixed storage container 40 and for air from the mixed storage container 40 to the container body 12, and the so-called "pulsation phenomenon" does not occur, in which the contents of the container body 12 flow out into the mixed storage container 40 and air flows into the container body 12 alternately.

This allows the contents of the container body 12 to be mixed and refilled smoothly into the mixed container 40.

After that, as shown by arrow E in Figure 17, the contents contained in the container body 12 are mixed with the mixture contained in the mixture container 40, and then the adapter tip 26 of the adapter member 20 of the container 10 is removed from inside the opening 44 formed in the mouth 42 of the mixture container 40.

Then, as shown by the arrow in Figure 18 and Figure 19, the male threaded portion 46 formed on the outer periphery of the mouth 42 of the mixture storage container 40 is screwed into the female threaded portion formed on the base end 50a of the dropper member 50 (not shown), so that the dropper member 50 is detachably attached to the opening 44 formed in the mouth 42 of the mixture storage container 40.

In this state, as shown in FIG. 20, the male thread 56a formed on the tip 56 of the dropper member 50 is released from the female thread of the cover 52 of the dropper member 50 (not shown), and the cover 52 of the dropper member 50 is removed.

The dropper member 50 can therefore be detachably attached to the opening 44 formed in the mouth 42 of the mixture-receiving container 40, and an appropriate amount of the mixture can be dispensed from the opening at the tip of the dropper member 50, which can be opened and closed freely, which is extremely convenient.

Note that the male thread 56a formed on the tip 56 of the dropper member 50 is screwed into the female thread of the cover 52 of the dropper member 50, but a so-called snap-fit type engagement may also be used.

Example 4
FIG. 21 is an exploded perspective view showing another embodiment of a mixing container set 11 using a storage container 10 of the present invention, and FIG. 22 is a front view of the mixing container set 11 of FIG.

The mixing vessel set 11 of this embodiment has a configuration basically similar to that of the mixing vessel set 11 of the third embodiment shown in Figures 16 to 20, and the same components are given the same reference numbers and detailed descriptions thereof are omitted.

In this embodiment, the mixing container set 11 has a dropper section 60 formed in a dropper shape at the bottom of the storage container 10 instead of a dropper member 50.

As in the third embodiment, the dropper portion 60 also has multiple thin, elongated, concave pressing portions 68 (four in this embodiment, spaced circumferentially at a central angle of 120 degrees) formed in the approximate center, making the ejection operation easier.

When in use, although not shown, the adapter tip 26 of the adapter member 20 of the storage container 10 is detachably attached to the opening 44 formed in the mouth 42 of the mixture storage container 40, as in Figures 9 to 15 of Example 2.

As in Examples 1 and 2, first, the gripping portion 38 of the stopper member 32 is grasped, for example, with the fingers and pulled, and the opening ends 36a and 36b on one side of the stopper body 34 are expanded by the action of the stopper body 34, which has the function of a spring, and the stopper member 32 is removed from around the mouth portion 12a of the container body 12.

Then, in this state, the container body 12 is pushed toward the mixture storage container 40, thereby moving the adapter member 20 along the axial direction of the container body 12 in a direction approaching the lid member 16 of the mouth portion 12a of the container body 12.

As a result, in the same manner as in Examples 1 and 2 above, the abutment protrusion 28 of the adapter member 20 abuts against one end 16a of the lid member 16 of the container body 12, and the lid member 16 of the container body 12 rotates within the opening 12c formed in the mouth 12a of the container body 12, thereby opening the opening 12c formed in the mouth 12a of the container body 12.

As a result, there are two or more flow paths for the flow of contents from the container body 12 into the mixed storage container 40 and for air from the mixed storage container 40 to the container body 12, and the so-called "pulsation phenomenon" does not occur, in which the contents of the container body 12 flow out into the mixed storage container 40 and air flows into the container body 12 alternately.

This allows the contents of the container body 12 to be mixed and refilled smoothly into the mixed container 40.

In this state, the male thread 66a formed on the tip 66 of the dropper 60 is released from the female thread of the cover member 62 of the dropper 60, and the cover member 62 of the dropper 60 is removed.

Since the mixture is discharged from the opening at the tip of the dropper part 60, which can be opened and closed, there is no need to remove the adapter tip part 26 of the adapter member 20 of the storage container 10 from within the opening 44 formed in the mouth part 42 of the mixture storage container 40, or to detachably attach the dropper member 50 to the opening 44 formed in the mouth part 42 of the mixture storage container 40 as in the above-mentioned Example 3.

Therefore, an appropriate amount of the mixture can be dispensed directly from the freely openable opening at the tip of the bottom of the dropper-shaped storage container 10 (i.e., the freely openable opening 64 at the tip of the dropper part 60), which is extremely convenient.

Note that the male thread 66a formed on the tip 66 of the dropper 60 is screwed into the female thread of the cover member 62 of the dropper 60, but a so-called snap-fit type engagement may also be used.

The above describes a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to this, and various modifications are possible without departing from the scope of the present invention.
