Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a refillable container suitable for refilling (transferring) contents into another container, such as an airless container, after the contents have been used up.

[0002] An airless container is known in which, when a pump attached to the neck of the container body is driven to dispense the contents from the container body, negative pressure is created inside the container body as the contents are dispensed, and a sliding bottom plate provided inside the container body rises by the volume of the dispensed contents, thereby preventing air from flowing into the container body when the contents are dispensed (Patent Document 1). Because air is not replaced inside the container body when the contents are dispensed, such airless containers have the advantage of preventing the contents from becoming soiled or deteriorating in quality due to oxidation, and in recent years have been widely used as containers for high-end cosmetics. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2001-48216 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] Many of the airless containers described above have small capacities, which means that the product needs to be replaced more frequently, resulting in costs and a large amount of plastic waste. Furthermore, since the airless containers are configured so that the sliding bottom plate rises as the contents are dispensed, in order to refill and use the contents, the sliding bottom plate must be pushed down to the bottom using a stick or the like, making the process of transferring the contents time-consuming, and so they are typically single-use containers.

[0005] Therefore, the present invention aims to provide a refillable container that allows the contents to be easily transferred to another container, and in particular to provide a refillable container that has an inner tray inside the container body, and that allows the contents to be easily transferred to an airless container that prevents air from entering the container body by rising as the contents are discharged. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The refill container of the present invention, which has been developed to achieve the above object, comprises a body having a filling space for accommodating contents, a nozzle connected to the body for dispensing the contents filled in the filling space, and a lid attached to the neck of the body to keep the filling space sealed, A refill container in which the nozzle is inserted into the neck of another container and the body main body is pressed against the tip of the neck of the other container to reduce the volume, thereby transferring the contents in the filling space to the other container through the nozzle, The lid body has a rod-shaped member suspended and held on the lid body, and the rod-shaped member has a tip that reduces the volume of the body body while pushing off or breaking through the tip of the nozzle, causing the contents filled in the filling space to flow out toward the other container.

[0007] In addition, in the refill container of the present invention, (1) The body body has a configuration that allows the volume of the body body to be reduced by pushing the body body in the axial direction of the refill container; (2) The other container is an airless container that has an inner tray slidably disposed inside the container body, and the contents are poured out by sliding the inner tray toward the neck of the other container, while the contents can be transferred by sliding the inner tray from the neck of the other container toward the bottom of the other container using the rod-shaped member. (3) The tip of the nozzle is closed by a sealing member; (4) The body has one end fixed to the bottom of the body and the other end fixed to the peripheral wall of the lid, and has an exterior body that surrounds the body over the entire circumference between them. (5) At least one of the bottom of the body and the peripheral wall of the lid has one or more air conduction grooves that discharge air present between the exterior body and the body to the outside when the body is reduced in volume. (6) The nozzle has a cap that is removably attached to the nozzle and seals the nozzle; is preferred. [Effects of the Invention]

[0008] According to the refillable container of the present invention, simply by inserting the nozzle connected to the body containing the contents into the inside of the neck of another container and pushing the upper end of the lid attached to the neck of the body downward with the fingers, the volume of the body decreases and the tip of the rod-shaped member suspended from the lid hits the tip of the nozzle, pushing it off or breaking it open, thereby allowing the contents contained in the body to flow out through the nozzle into the other container, allowing the contents to be transferred into the other container for easy refilling.

[0009] Furthermore, according to the refill container of the present invention, when the other container is an airless container that has an inner tray slidably disposed inside the container body and that can dispense the contents while preventing air from getting in by sliding the inner tray upward, the inner tray, which has been raised toward the neck of the other container, can be pushed down toward the bottom of the other container by the rod-shaped member, thereby refilling the contents and pushing down the inner tray simultaneously. This eliminates the need to push down the inner tray before refilling (refilling) the contents, making refilling the contents easy.

[0010] Furthermore, according to the refill container of the present invention, an exterior body consisting of a label, a covering tube, etc. is provided on the body body so as to surround the entire circumference of the body body, thereby preventing deformation of the body body during distribution, storage, etc. Furthermore, the exterior body can hide the shape of the body body consisting of a bellows, etc., and the appearance can be improved by printing a product name, pattern, etc. on the exterior body.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0012] An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Fig. 1 is a diagram showing a schematic view of an embodiment of a refillable container according to the present invention, where (a) is a plan view, (b) is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA of (a), and (c) is a bottom view. Fig. 2 is a diagram showing an airless container as another container suitable for refilling (transferring) contents using a refillable container according to the present invention. Fig. 3 is a diagram showing a refillable container according to the present invention assembled to an airless container. Fig. 4 is a diagram showing a state in which contents filled in a refillable container according to the present invention have been refilled (transferred) into the airless container.

[0013] 1(a) to 1(c), reference numeral 1 denotes a body body having a filling space M inside which contents are filled. Reference numeral 2 denotes a nozzle connected to the bottom wall 11 of the body body 1 and for dispensing the contents filled in the filling space M. Reference numeral 3 denotes a lid body attached to the neck opening 12 of the body body 1 and for keeping the filling space M sealed. Reference numeral 4 denotes a rod-shaped member suspended from the lid body 3.

[0014] The body main body 1 has a cylindrical body 10, a cylindrical neck portion 12 provided at the upper end of the body 10, and a bottom wall 11 connected to the lower end of the body 10. The body 10 is bellows-shaped and configured to be compressible and deformable in the direction of the container axis L toward a bottom 19 consisting of the lower part of the body 10 and the bottom wall 11. Note that the body 10 is not limited to a bellows-shaped configuration and may have any shape as long as the body main body 1 can be reduced in volume when the nozzle 2 is inserted into the neck portion 101 of another container V and the upper end of the lid 3 is pressed downward with fingers, as described below. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the body 10 has a circular cross section, but is not limited to this and can be modified as appropriate, such as to have an angular cross section.

[0015] The nozzle 2 is connected to the bottom wall 11 of the barrel body 1 and is molded integrally with the barrel body 1. The barrel body 1 and the nozzle 2 can be manufactured using a material such as a synthetic resin, but the material is not particularly limited.

[0016] As described below, when using the nozzle 2, it is inserted into the inside of the mouth / neck portion 101 of the container body 100 of another container V, so it is preferable that the outer diameter is smaller than the inner diameter of the mouth / neck portion 101 and that the length along the container axis L is longer than the length of the mouth / neck portion 101 so that it can be inserted stably inside the mouth / neck portion 101.

[0017] The nozzle 2 has an opening 21 at its tip for dispensing the contents filled in the filling space M of the barrel body 1, and a hermetic seal member 5 is attached to the opening 21 to seal the opening 21. The material of the hermetic seal member 5 is not particularly limited as long as it can prevent leakage of the contents filled in the filling space M and can be pushed off or broken by a rod-shaped member 4 suspended and held by the lid body 3, as will be described later, and the like. The nozzle 2 may also be integrally formed with a lid connected to the tip by a breakable thin portion, and the lid can be opened when in use by pushing the rod-shaped member 4 of the lid body 3 into the lid, breaking the thin portion and removing the lid.

[0018] The lid 3 is composed of a cylindrical outer tube 31 and an inner tube 32, which are integrally formed with an annular flange 33 provided at the upper end. The lid 3 can be manufactured using a material such as synthetic resin, but the material is not particularly limited.

[0019] The outer cylinder 31 has a female thread 31a on its inner circumferential surface, which can be threaded into a male thread 12a provided on the outer circumferential surface of the neck portion 12 of the body main body 1, thereby enabling the lid 3 to be detachably attached to the body main body 1. Note that the lid 3 may be attached to the body main body 1 using other fixing means, such as undercut fitting, instead of threading.

[0020] When the lid body 3 is attached to the body body 1, the inner tube portion 32 hangs down along the inner surface of the neck portion 12 of the body body 1, and its lower end is sealed by a bottom plate 34.When the body portion 10 is compressed and deformed, the inner tube portion 32 has the function of guiding the body portion 10 and suppressing inadvertent deformation of the body portion 10 in a direction that intersects with the container axis L direction.

[0021] Rod-shaped member 4 is suspended from the underside of bottom plate 34 of inner cylindrical portion 32. In this embodiment, when lid body 3 is attached to barrel main body 1, the tip of rod-shaped member 4 extends to the tip of nozzle 2, but rod-shaped member 4 may be long enough to reach the tip of nozzle 2 when lid body 3 is pushed downward as described below and break through or peel off sealing member 5 (aluminum sheet or the like) attached to opening 21, or to push in a lid portion provided at the tip of nozzle 2 as described above and break the thin-walled portion connected to the lid portion.

[0022] Figure 2 shows another container V suitable for use in transferring the contents filled in the refill container having the above-described configuration according to the present invention. The other container V shown in Figure 2 is an airless container V that has an inner tray 104 inside the container body 100, and can dispense the contents without air replacement by sliding the inner tray 104 as the contents are dispensed, but in the present invention, a general container that does not have an inner tray 104 may also be used as the other container.

[0023] The airless container V comprises a pump mechanism 102 attached to the neck portion 101 of the container body 100, a bottom lid 103 that closes the opening at the bottom of the container body 100, and an inner plate 104 inside the container body 100 between the pump mechanism 102 and the bottom lid 103. When the pump mechanism 102 is operated to discharge the contents of the airless container V, and as the contents in the container body 100 decrease, the inner plate 104 slides toward the neck portion 101 of the container body 100.

[0024] Pump mechanism 102 is suspended and held inside neck portion 101 of container body 100 by base cap 105, which is screwed onto neck portion 101. Pump mechanism 102 is fitted with pressure head 106, and by repeatedly pressing pressure head 106, the contents filled inside container body 100 are sucked into cylinder 108, pressurized and compressed, and can be discharged from head nozzle 107 of pressure head 106. The internal structure of pump mechanism 102 is well known and will not be described here, but even when the contents are discharged by pressing pressure head 106, no air is sucked in from the outside. Therefore, negative pressure is created inside container body 100 as the contents are discharged, and inner plate 104 provided inside container body 100 is sucked in, causing it to slide and rise within container body 100.

[0025] Bottom lid 103 is composed of bottom plate 103a and peripheral wall 103b, and the inner peripheral surface of peripheral wall 103b is fitted into recess 109 provided on the outer peripheral surface of the bottom of container body 100. Bottom plate 103a of bottom lid 103 is provided with cylindrical tube portion 103c standing upright from the top surface in the center. Bottom plate 103a also has opening 103d that connects the space between bottom plate 103a and inner tray 104 to the outside.

[0026] The inner plate 104 is made up of an outer cylindrical portion 110 that is slidable in close contact with the inner peripheral surface of the container body 100, and an inner cylindrical portion 112 that is integrally formed with the outer cylindrical portion 110 by a flange 111 provided at the upper end of the outer cylindrical portion 110. The inner plate 104 is preferably made of a flexible material such as synthetic resin so that it can be slidably pressed against the inner peripheral surface of the container body 100.

[0027] The outer cylinder 110 is configured to be in close contact with the inner circumferential surface of the container body 100 by means of an upper edge 110a and a lower edge 110b. The inner cylinder 112 has a recessed shape, and as will be described later, when the nozzle 2 is inserted into the inside of the neck portion 101 of the airless container V during refilling, the nozzle 2 is inserted into the inner cylinder 112 (inside the recessed portion) and positioned at the desired position. Therefore, the inner plate 104 presses against the inner circumferential surface of the container body 100 and functions as a partition wall separating the container body 100 into a filling space for the contents (upper side) and an area below the inner plate 104 (lower side). Furthermore, the lower end of the inner cylinder 112 abuts against the upper end of the cylinder portion 103c of the bottom lid 103 at the lower position of the container body 100, thereby restricting downward movement of the inner plate 104.

[0028] In the airless container V having the above-described configuration, when the contents are to be ejected, the pressure head 106 is pressed down to eject the contents from the head nozzle 107, and as described above, the negative pressure is created inside the container body 100, causing the inner plate 104 to rise accordingly, and when the ejection of the contents is completed, the inner plate 104 reaches the upper end position inside the container body 100.

[0029] To transfer the contents contained in a refillable container according to the present invention into an airless container V, first remove the pump mechanism 102 from the airless container V, and insert the nozzle 2 of the refillable container into the neck 101 of the airless container V, as shown in Figure 3. In this state, when the upper end of the lid 3 is pressed downward with the fingers, the bottom wall 11 of the body main body 1 is pressed against the upper end of the neck 101 of the airless container V, compressing and deforming the accordion-shaped body 10, and the tip of the rod-shaped member 4 is pressed against the tip of the nozzle 2, which pushes away or breaks the sealing member 5 provided at the opening 21 of the nozzle 2, opening it. This allows the contents in the filling space M to flow into the airless container V through the nozzle 2.

[0030] Further, as the lid 3 is pushed downward, the tip of the rod-shaped member 4 presses against the bottom surface 113 of the inner tube portion 112 of the inner tray 104, as shown in FIG. 4, and by pushing down the bottom surface 113, the inner tray 104 slides downward. This forms a storage space for the contents above the inner tray 104, and the contents in the filling space M can be filled into the storage space through the opening 21 of the nozzle 2. Therefore, with the refillable container of this embodiment, there is no need for an additional operation such as sliding the inner tray 104, which is located at the upper end of the container body 100, toward the bottom of the container body 100. The contents can be easily refilled (refilled) by simply inserting the nozzle 2 of the refillable container into the neck portion 101 of the container body 100 and pushing the lid 3 downward. This makes the refilling operation easy and convenient, without soiling the hands or fingers.

[0031] Furthermore, in the refillable container of this embodiment, the inner tube portion 32 of the lid body 3 is formed along the inner peripheral surface of the neck portion 12 of the body main body 1, so that when the lid body 3 is pushed downward as shown in Figure 4, it is possible to prevent the contents from entering between the neck portion 12 and the inner tube portion 32, and almost the entire amount of the contents in the body main body 1 can be refilled into the container body 100.

[0032] As shown in this embodiment, the body 10 has a bellows shape that does not elastically recover, so that when the contents are filled, the body 10 is compressed in the direction of the container axis L, allowing the contents to be squeezed out, as described above, thereby reducing the amount of contents remaining in the body main body 1 and allowing easy refilling even when the viscosity of the contents is high.

[0033] The body body 1 may have a bellows-shaped body 10 that can be folded horizontally as shown in Figures 1 to 4, or modified body bodies 1 as shown in Figures 5(a) to 5(d). The body body 1 may have any structure as long as it can reduce the volume of the body body 1 when the nozzle 2 is inserted inside the neck portion 101 of another container V and the upper end of the lid 3 is pressed downward with fingers, and is not limited to the structure shown in the figures.

[0034] The body 1 of Figure 5(a) has a body 10 that has an inclined bellows shape, and when the upper end of the lid 3 is pressed downward with the fingers when filling the contents, the body 10 is twisted and compressed, thereby reducing its volume, and the contents inside the body 1 can be squeezed out through the nozzle 2.

[0035] 5(b), the body 10 is made up of multiple inclined panels 14, and each inclined panel 14 is connected by multiple spirally extending inclined fold lines 13. When filling the contents, pushing the upper end of the lid 3 downward with the fingers causes the body 10 to twist and deform along the inclined fold lines 13, thereby reducing its volume, and the contents inside the body 1 can be squeezed out through the nozzle 2.

[0036] The body body 1 in Figure 5(c) is configured such that the body 10 is composed of multiple inclined panels 17 defined by mountain-like inclined ridge lines 15 and valley-like inclined fold lines 16, and when filling the contents, by pushing the upper end of the lid body 3 downward with the fingers, the body 10 is twisted and deformed along the inclined ridge lines 15 and inclined fold lines 16, thereby reducing its volume and allowing the contents inside the body body 1 to be squeezed out.

[0037] 5(d) has a body 10 with a square or circular cross section, and the peripheral wall of the body 10 is formed with multiple fold lines 18a extending in the circumferential direction and multiple inclined fold lines 18b connecting to the fold lines 18a. When filling the contents, if the upper end of the lid 3 is pushed downward with the fingers, the body 10 bends along the fold lines 18a and the inclined fold lines 18b and is folded (squashed) in the axial direction of the container (up and down), thereby reducing the volume, and the contents in the body 1 can be squeezed out through the nozzle 2.

[0038] Next, another embodiment of the refill container of the present invention will be described with reference to Fig. 6. Descriptions of parts that are the same as those in the previous embodiment will be omitted. In this embodiment, the body 1 has a bellows-shaped body 10 that can be folded horizontally, but the body 1 shown in Figs. 5(a) to (d) may also be used.

[0039] In Figure 6, reference numeral 6 denotes a cap that is removably attached to the outer peripheral surface of the nozzle 2 and holds the nozzle 2 in a sealed state, and reference numeral 7 denotes an outer casing that has one end fixed to the bottom 19 of the barrel body 1 and the other end fixed to the peripheral wall of the outer tube portion 31 of the lid body 3, and that surrounds the entire barrel body 1 between them.

[0040] The cap 6 has a female thread 61 on its inner circumferential surface, and can be removably attached to the nozzle 2 by threading it onto a male thread 22 provided on the outer circumferential surface of the nozzle 2. Note that the cap 6 may be attached to the nozzle 2 by other fixing means, such as undercut fitting, instead of threading. Furthermore, by attaching the cap 6 to the nozzle 2, it is possible to reliably prevent leakage of the contents due to inadvertent pushing into the barrel main body 1 (barrel 10) during transportation, storage, etc.

[0041] The exterior body 7 is preferably made of a thin plastic film such as polystyrene or polyethylene, a paper label, a covering tube, or the like, and is preferably made of a material that can be easily deformed or torn when the volume of the main body 1 is reduced. The exterior body 7 may also be removed before the volume of the main body 1 is reduced.

[0042] The exterior body 7 is fixed by bonding it to the bottom 19, which consists of the lower part of the body 10 of the body main body 1 and the bottom wall 11 connected to the lower end of the body 10, and to the peripheral wall of the outer cylindrical part 31 of the lid 3, all or part of the circumference. For this reason, in the refill container according to the present invention, it is preferable that the outer diameters of the outer cylindrical part 31 of the lid 3 and the bottom 19 of the body main body 1 are equal to or larger than the outer diameter of the body 10 (preferably larger than the outer diameter of the body 10), which allows the exterior body 7 to be easily attached to the entire circumference of the body main body 1 without the body 10 getting in the way. Note that the exterior body 7 may also be fixed by means of adhesion or other means without being bonded to the bottom 19 of the body main body 1 and the peripheral wall of the outer cylindrical part 31 of the lid 3.

[0043] In this way, by providing the outer casing 7 so as to surround the entire circumference of the barrel body 1, deformation of the barrel body 1 during distribution, storage, etc. can be suppressed, and the shape of the barrel body 1, which consists of the bellows of the refill container, etc., can be hidden, and the appearance (appearance) can be improved by printing the product name, pattern, etc. on the outer casing 7.

[0044] When the exterior body 7 is attached so as to surround the body main body 1, there is a risk that the air present between the exterior body 7 and the body main body 1 may hinder the volume reduction (compression deformation, twisting deformation, etc.) of the body main body 1. For this reason, air conduction grooves 8 are provided on the bottom 19 of the body main body 1 and the peripheral wall of the outer tube part 31 of the lid 3 to discharge the air present between the exterior body 7 and the body main body 1 to the outside.

[0045] In this embodiment, the air conduction groove 8 is provided on each of the bottom 19 of the body main body 1 and the peripheral wall of the outer tube portion 31 of the lid 3, but it is sufficient that the air conduction groove 8 is provided on at least one of the bottom 19 of the body main body 1 and the peripheral wall of the outer tube portion 31 of the lid 3. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the air conduction groove 8 is provided on the upper surface of the flange portion 33 of the lid 3, extending from the inner tube portion 32 to the outer tube portion 31, and is further provided on the peripheral wall of the outer tube portion 31 across its entire top and bottom. However, the air conduction groove 8 is not limited to this shape as long as it is provided so as to straddle the end of the attached exterior body 7 and form a gap between the lid 3 and the exterior body 7, allowing communication with the outside. Similarly, in this embodiment, the air conduction groove 8 is provided from the side surface of the lower part of the body 10 constituting the bottom 19 to the bottom wall 11, but it is not limited to this shape as long as it is provided so as to straddle the end of the attached exterior body 7 and form a gap between the body 10 and the exterior body 7, allowing communication with the outside.

[0046] Furthermore, by devising a shape for the air conduction groove 8 provided in the bottom 19 of the barrel body 1, air inside the container body 100 can be efficiently discharged when the contents are refilled. Furthermore, water droplets that form between the body 1 and the exterior casing 7 can be discharged to the outside through the air conduction groove 8, thereby preventing water from accumulating between the body 1 and the exterior casing 7. [Industrial Applicability]

[0047] The refill container according to the present invention can be used when refilling other containers with contents such as cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, etc., and is particularly suitable for use as a refill container for airless containers equipped with inner trays.
