Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a trigger-type dispenser. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, a known device has a body with a pump mechanism that sucks in liquid from the container, pressurizes it, and discharges it from a discharge port, and an operating lever journaled on the side of the body is linked to the piston of the pump mechanism, and the body is covered with a shroud (Patent Document 1). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Patent No. 3839163 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] In recent years, when consumers purchase trigger-type dispensers from websites (such as e-commerce sites) on the Internet, the website often wraps the entire dispenser before sending it to the consumer. In the configuration of Patent Document 1, due to the wrapping, a load is continuously applied in the lateral direction to the operating lever during product transportation, which may cause the piston to become misaligned via the operating lever, which may cause the seal between the piston and cylinder to break and result in liquid leakage.

[0005] An object of the present invention is to provide a trigger-type dispenser that can suppress liquid leakage due to the application of external force to the side surface. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The first means comprises a body 6 having a pump mechanism 12 for sucking in and pressurizing the liquid in the container body 100, and a nozzle portion 24 attached to the body 6 and having a discharge port 30 for discharging the liquid pressurized by the pump mechanism 12 forward, the discharge device main body 2 comprising an operating lever 35 operably engaged with the body 6 and linked to a piston 16 of the pump mechanism 12; a shroud 40 covering at least the side surface S of the body 6; a cover member 50 attached to the dispenser body 2 for covering the operating lever 35; The cover member 50 is attached to the nozzle portion 24 and the adjacent portion 41 of the shroud 40 adjacent to the nozzle portion 24, and is loosely attached to cover the operating lever 35 with play C between the operating lever 35 and the cover member 50 along the longitudinal direction of the operating lever 35.

[0007] In this means, as shown in FIG. 1, a discharger main body 2 is provided so as to discharge liquid from the discharge port 30 of the nozzle portion 24 by operating an operating lever 35 engaged with the body, and is covered with a shroud 40. In this means, a cover member 50 is provided to cover the operating lever 35 attached to the discharger main body 2. This cover member 50 is attached to the nozzle portion 24 and the adjacent portion 41 of the shroud 40 that is adjacent to the nozzle portion 24, and is loosely attached so as to cover the operating lever 35 along the longitudinal direction of the operating lever 35, with play C between the operating lever 35 and the cover member 50. According to this structure, even if an external force (load) is applied to the side of the operating lever 35, the operating lever 35 is less affected. Therefore, deformation of the operating lever can be restricted, and leakage of fluid from the cylinder portion 14 is suppressed.

[0008] The second means has the first means, and the cover member 50 has a cover main body 52 extending at least along the longitudinal direction of the operating lever 35, and a pair of lateral clearances Cs located at least on the side surface 36 side of the operating lever 35 are formed between this cover main body 52 and the operating lever 35 as the aforementioned play C.

[0009] In this means, as shown in Figure 2, the cover member 50 has a cover main body 52 extending at least along the longitudinal direction of the operating lever 35, and a pair of lateral clearances Cs are formed between this cover main body 52 and the operating lever 35, located on the side surface 36 side of the operating lever 35. With this structure, even if the load from the wrapping is applied to the dispenser body 2 when the entire trigger-type dispenser is wrapped, the side surface 36 of the operating lever 35 does not come into contact with the cover member 50, and the operating lever 35 is not subjected to any inappropriate influence (deformation, etc.). Therefore, leakage of liquid from the cylinder portion 14 can be prevented.

[0010] The third means has the first means, and the cover member 50 has a cover main body 52 extending at least along the longitudinal direction of the operating lever 35, and a forward clearance Cf is formed between this cover main body 52 and the operating lever 35 as the aforementioned play C, located at least on the front surface 37 side of the operating lever 35.

[0011] In this means, as shown in Figure 1, the cover member 50 has a cover main body 52 that extends at least along the longitudinal direction of the operating lever 35, and a front clearance Cf is formed between this cover main body 52 and the operating lever 35, and is located on the front surface 37 side of the operating lever 35. According to this structure, for example, when the cover member 50 is set on the dispenser body 2 from the front, the front surface 37 of the operating lever 35 is not pushed in.

[0012] The fourth means includes any one of the first to third means, and the cover member 50 includes a pair of rigid plate-like portions 58 adjacent to the inner surface of the side wall 44 of the shroud 40 on both sides of the side X of the operating lever 35.

[0013] In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, the cover member 50 includes a pair of rigid plate-like portions 58 adjacent to the inner surface of the side wall 44 of the shroud 40 on both sides of the side X of the operating lever 35 . This structure can suppress left-right shaking and deformation.

[0014] The fifth means has any one of the first to third means, and the cover member 50 includes a cover tubular portion 60 fitted to the nozzle portion 24, and a slip-out prevention means R is formed between the tubular wall portion 61 of the cover tubular portion 60 and the nozzle portion 24.

[0015] In this means, as shown in Figures 1 and 5(C), the cover member 50 includes a cover tubular portion 60 fitted onto the nozzle portion 24, and a retaining means R is formed between the tubular wall portion 61 of this cover tubular portion 60 and the nozzle portion 24. This structure can prevent the cover member 50 from slipping out in the forward direction. [Effects of the Invention]

[0016] According to the present invention, it is possible to suppress leakage of liquid due to the action of an external force on the side surface of the shroud. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0017] [Figure 1] 1 is a side view showing the configuration of a trigger-type dispenser according to an embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 2] FIG. 2 is a front view of the dispenser of FIG. 1. [Figure 3] FIG. 2 is a side view showing the configuration of the dispenser of FIG. 1 other than the main member (cover member). [Figure 4] FIG. 4 is a front view showing the configuration of FIG. 3. [Figure 5]The figure shows the configuration of the main components of the dispenser in Figure 1, where (A) is a front view, (B) is a side view, (C) is an enlarged view of a portion of the structure as seen from the front, and (D) is a plan view. BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

[0018] 1 to 5 show a trigger-type dispenser according to an embodiment of the present invention. This dispenser is composed of a dispenser body 2, a shroud 40, and a cover member 50. Each of these members can be made of, for example, synthetic resin or metal.

[0019] As shown in Figure 3, the dispenser main body 2 comprises a body 6 having a pump mechanism 12 for sucking in and pressurizing the liquid in the container body 100, and a nozzle portion 24 attached to the body 6 and having a discharge port 30 for discharging the liquid pressurized by the pump mechanism 12 forward. Most of the construction of this dispenser body 2 is known and will therefore only be briefly described. An operating lever 35 is operably engaged at an appropriate position on the body 6 (in the illustrated example, the horizontal flow path section 10 described below) (for example, the base 35a of the operating lever 35 is journaled on the side surface section S of the body 6), and the operating lever 35 is linked to the piston 16 of the pump mechanism 12. In this specification, for convenience of explanation, the left side of Fig. 1 is referred to as "front", the right side as "rear", and the direction perpendicular to the paper surface as the left-right direction. The left-right direction may also be referred to as the side X direction (see Fig. 2).

[0020] 1, the body 6 is attached to the mouth / neck portion 102 of the container body 100 via the attachment cap 4. The body 6 has a vertical flow path portion 8, which is a vertical main cylindrical portion, and a horizontal flow path portion (injection tube portion) 10 extending forward from the upper end side of the vertical flow path portion 8. In addition, the pump mechanism 12 described above is provided below the horizontal flow path portion 10, and is configured by inserting a piston 16 that can swing back and forth into a cylinder portion 14 that protrudes forward from the vertical flow path portion 8. By operating the operating lever 35, the pressure inside the cylinder section 14 is reduced, and the liquid in the container body 100 is sucked into the cylinder section 14 through a first check valve (not shown), and then discharged from the discharge port 30 through a second check valve (not shown). As shown in FIG. 1, the piston 16 is connected to an operating lever 35 via a connecting portion L which is a pivotal portion, and is urged forward by a spring member 18 which will be described later. As shown in Figure 3, the operating lever 35 is a vertically long member, and in the illustrated example, the front edges of a pair of left and right elongated side plates are connected by a front plate. In the figure, reference numeral 37 denotes the front surface of the front plate, and reference numeral 36 denotes the outer surfaces (side surfaces) of the pair of left and right side plates. A pair of left and right shafts 38 are attached to the upper ends of the side surfaces 36, and a pair of left and right pockets 39 with upper openings are attached below the shafts 38. Further, positioned in front of the linking portion L, a hole h shown in FIG. However, these structures can be modified as appropriate. In this embodiment, a spring member 18 is attached to the horizontal flow path section 10. This spring member 18 has a pair of left and right bearings 23 hanging down from the rear of an attachment plate (not shown) attached to the upper surface of the horizontal flow path section 10, and a pair of left and right spring bodies (plate springs) 20 hanging down from the front of the attachment plate, with a protrusion 22 protruding downward from each spring body 20. These protrusions 22 are inserted into and engaged with pockets 39 of the operating lever 35. Furthermore, a shaft 38 of the operating lever 35 is supported by the pair of bearings 23.

[0021] The nozzle portion 24 is attached to and supported at the tip end side of the horizontal flow path portion 10 . In this embodiment, the nozzle section 24 is attached so as to be rotatable around a forward-facing rotation shaft (not shown) attached to the tip end of the horizontal flow path section 10. The nozzle section 24 has a front end wall 29 attached to the front end of the peripheral wall section 25, and the discharge port 30 opens at the center of the front end wall 29. 3, an outside air inlet 26 is opened at an appropriate position on the peripheral wall 25, and communicates with the liquid passage extending from the horizontal flow passage 10 to the discharge port 30. This outside air inlet 26 has a known configuration, but in the present invention, as shown by the imaginary lines in Figure 5(C), it also serves as a receiving hole for fitting and engaging a locking protrusion 62, which will be described later, attached to a cover tube portion 60, which will be described later. The outside air inlet 26 and the locking projection 62 form a retaining means R for preventing the cover member 50 from slipping out in the forward direction. In this embodiment, a plurality of marks 27 (three in the illustrated example) are arranged equiangularly on the outer surface of the peripheral wall 25 of the nozzle portion 24 to indicate the operation mode of the dispenser main body 2, such as whether or not dispensing is possible. The marks 27 in the illustrated example bulge outward in a round shape. On the surface of these marks 27, characters (not shown) indicating operation modes such as "closed", "closed", and "open" can be formed. In the drawings, the nozzle portion 24 is in the closed mode in the unused state (covered by the cover member 50) shown in FIG. 1, but it may also be in the open mode. In the illustrated example, a switching plate 32 for switching the discharge state (e.g., spraying or spraying) of the contents is connected to the front wall 29 via a hinge 33. This plate has a locking projection 34 located on the opposite side of the hinge 33, and this locking projection is detachably fitted into a projection receiving portion 28 drilled in an appropriate position on the front wall 29.

[0022] The shroud 40 is a member for covering the body 6 and is attached to the outer surface of the body 6 . In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the shroud 40 has a top wall 42 that covers the upper surface of the body 6, and a pair of side walls 44 that hang down from both sides of the top wall and cover the side surface S of the body.

[0023] The cover member 50 is attached to the dispenser body 2 and is provided so as to cover the operating lever 35, the nozzle portion 24, and an adjacent portion 41 of the shroud 40 adjacent to the nozzle portion 24. In this specification, the "adjacent region 41" refers to a range in which, when a cover member is not present, a load is applied from the outside (mainly from the side X), and deformation or displacement of the operating lever 35 that may cause leakage of liquid may occur. In this embodiment, as viewed from the side X, the region is assumed to be a region from the front end of the shroud 40 to a position overlapping with the location of the shaft portion 38, as shown in FIG. The cover member 50 is attached to the operating lever 35 with a play C along its longitudinal direction so as to cover the operating lever 35, whereas the cover member 50 is attached to the nozzle portion 24 and the adjacent portion 41 of the shroud 40 so as to cover (hereinafter referred to as "covering") them by fitting or abutting against their outer surfaces. According to this structure, even if an external force acts from the outside (particularly from the side X) when the dispenser is packed, the external force is resisted at the attachment point to the shroud 40, so that the cover member 50 is unlikely to vibrate. Furthermore, since the cover member 50 is loosely attached to the operating lever 35 with play C remaining in the longitudinal direction of the operating lever 35, even if the above-mentioned vibrating occurs, it is unlikely to affect the operating lever 35. Therefore, deformation of the operating lever 35 can be suppressed. In this specification, the term "play" means to the extent that the exterior is fitted with a play (clearance) between the exterior surface of a certain object. The width W (width in the left-right direction) of the cover member 50 shown in Figure 2 is set so that a pair of lateral clearances Cs (described below) are formed between the cover main body 52 and the operating lever 35, located on both sides of the operating lever 35. However, the width W is smaller than the diameter D of the attachment cap 4. This prevents the trigger-type dispenser from becoming bulky during product transportation and storage, and also makes it less susceptible to external forces (loads) than the attachment cap 4.

[0024] In this embodiment, the cover member 50 is formed of a cover main body 52 that covers the operating lever 35 and the adjacent portion 41 of the shroud 40, and a cover tube portion 60 that covers the nozzle portion 24, as shown in Figure 5 (B). In this embodiment, the cover body 52 and the cover tubular portion 60 are integrally formed, although the structure can be modified as appropriate.

[0025] The cover body 52 is disposed from the adjacent portion 41 of the shroud 40 to the operating lever 35 , and extends along the longitudinal direction of the operating lever 35 . In this embodiment, the cover body 52 has a pair of left and right side covering plates 54 that cover the lateral sides of the adjacent portion 41 and the operating lever 35, and the front ends of these side covering plates 54 are connected to each other by an upper covering plate 53, and the front ends of these side covering plates 54 are connected to each other by a front covering plate 56. The side covering plates 54, the upper covering plate 53 and the front covering plate 56 are formed as rigid plates capable of resisting external forces (for example, external forces in the wrapping process described above) from the outside. The upper covering plate 53 is a plate portion that covers the upper part of the adjacent portion 41 of the shroud 40 . 5(A), the front covering plate 56 is a vertically long plate portion extending from the upper end e1 to the lower end e2 of the front covering plate 56, and covers the front of the body 6 and the operating lever 35 except for the portion where the nozzle portion 24 is disposed. The rear end j of the cover tube portion 60 is connected to the front covering plate 56. A pair of side clearances Cs are formed between the pair of side covering plates 54 and the side surfaces 36 of the operating lever 35 facing each side covering plate 54 . By providing these side clearances Cs, even if a load due to wrapping is applied to the dispenser body 2, the side surface 36 of the operating lever 35 will not come into contact with the cover member 50, and the operating lever 35 will not be adversely affected (such as deformation or displacement of the operating lever 35). Therefore, leakage of liquid from the cylinder portion 14 can be suppressed. A front clearance Cf is formed between the front cover plate 56 and the front surface 37 of the operating lever 35 . By providing this forward clearance Cf, when attaching the cover member 50 to the dispenser body 2, the front surface 37 of the operating lever 35 is prevented from being pushed in, and inappropriate force is prevented from being applied to the pump mechanism 12 (such as a backward pressing force being applied to the piston 16 even when the nozzle portion 24 is in the closed mode).

[0026] In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, a pair of vertical rigid plate-like portions 58 are provided on both sides of the front covering plate 56 and protrude rearward. These rigid plate-like portions 58 are disposed close to the inner surface of the side wall 44 of the shroud 40 on both sides of the side X of the operating lever 35. The pair of rigid plate-like portions 58 form a lateral vibration regulating means A. In this explanation, the term "close" includes contact. This structure can prevent the cover member 50 from wobbling left and right and from deforming. In this embodiment, each rigid plate-like portion 58 faces a corresponding one of the pair of side covering plates 54, as shown in FIG. 5(D). A gap g is provided between the side covering plates 54 and the rigid plate-like portions 58 that face each other. This gap g is set to be equal to or larger than the thickness of the side wall 44 of the shroud 40, and is configured so that the cover member 50 can be assembled to the dispenser body 2 with the side wall 44 inserted between the side covering plywood 54 and the rigid plate-like portion 58. 5(B), the rigid plate-like portion 58 in the illustrated example has a base half portion 58a with a constant vertical width and a tip half portion 58b whose width narrows toward the rear. The tip half portion 58b is formed in a triangular shape with an upper side having a slope b. However, these shapes and structures can be modified as appropriate. The length (rearward protrusion length) of the pair of rigid plate-like portions 58 is designed so that, when viewed from the side X, the tip half portion 58b reaches the cylinder portion 14 of the dispenser body 2, as shown by the dotted line in Figure 1. 2, the front half portions 58b of the pair of rigid plate-like portions 58 abut on both sides of the cylinder portion 14. At the abutting portions, the front half portions 58b are sandwiched between the cylinder portion 14 and the shroud 40. This further reduces lateral movement of the cover member 50 and the shroud 40 relative to the dispenser body 2. However, these structures can be modified as appropriate. The shape of the pair of rigid plate-like portions 58 is horizontally elongated as shown in Figure 5(B) when viewed from the side X, and has an arc-shaped recess 59 on the inner surface as shown in Figure 5(A) when viewed from the front. The recess 59 matches the contour of the cylinder portion 14 and is shaped so as to be able to fit closely to the outer surface of the cylinder portion 14 as shown in FIG. The details of the lateral movement prevention means A can be changed as appropriate as long as it can prevent lateral movement of the cover member 50. The structure of the lateral movement prevention means does not have to be a pair of rigid plate-like portions, and the portion with which the lateral movement prevention means is linked may be a portion other than the cylinder portion 14 of the body 6.

[0027] The cover tube portion 60 is a portion that covers the nozzle portion 24 . In this embodiment, the cover tubular portion 60 can be fitted onto the nozzle portion 24 from the front. This fitting maintains the cover member 50 attached to the dispenser body 2. In this embodiment, the cover tube portion 60 is formed by a horizontal tube-shaped tube wall portion 61 that covers the peripheral wall portion 25 of the nozzle portion 24, and a vertical end wall portion 66 attached to the front end side of this tube wall portion 61. The cover tube portion 60 has a locking projection 62 that projects inward from a tube wall portion 61. This locking projection is arranged so that it can be fitted into the receiving hole that is the outside air inlet 26. The peripheral wall 25 is also formed with a plurality of bulging portions 64 that bulge outward in correspondence with the marks 27 . These bulging portions 64 are storage portions into which the marks 27 are fitted.

[0028] 1, the cover member 50 is attached to the nozzle portion 24 and the adjacent portion 41 of the shroud 40, but is attached to the operating lever 35 with play C along the longitudinal direction so as to cover the operating lever 35. Therefore, even if an external force acts from the side X during the packing process, for example, the covering portion resists the external force, and the cover member 50 is less likely to shake. Therefore, by suppressing deformation and displacement of the operating lever 35, leakage of fluid from the cylinder portion 14 is also suppressed. In addition to covering the nozzle portion 24 and the adjacent portions of the shroud 40, a side clearance Cs is provided on both sides of the operating lever 35 as shown in FIG. This prevents the side surface 36 of the operating lever 35 from coming into contact with the operating lever 35, eliminating the risk of direct application of external force from the side X and reliably preventing fluid leakage from the cylinder portion 14. In addition, a front clearance Cf is provided between the front surface 37 of the operating lever 35 and the cover member 50. As a result, the front surface 37 of the operating lever 35 does not come into contact with the operating lever 35, and the front surface 37 of the operating lever 35 is restricted from being pushed in. Furthermore, the rigid plate-like portion 58 of the cover member 50 is placed close to the inner surface of the side wall 44 of the shroud 40 . This, combined with the covering of the nozzle portion 24 at the adjacent portion 41, more firmly restricts the wobbling and deformation of the cover member 50. When in use, the cover member 50 is pulled forward to remove it from the dispenser body 2, the nozzle part 24 is rotated to prepare for dispensing, and then the operating lever 35 is pulled, causing the piston 16 to move backward and the contents to be released from the discharge port 30. When the operating lever 35 is released, the piston 16 returns to its original position.

[0029] According to the above-described configuration and operation, the cover member 50 is loosely attached to the operating lever 35 while covering the nozzle portion 24 and the adjacent portion 41 of the shroud 40, and since side clearances Cs are provided on both sides of the operating lever 35, deformation or displacement of the operating lever 35 is suppressed, thereby suppressing or preventing leakage of fluid. Furthermore, since a front clearance Cf is provided in front of the operating lever 35, the operating lever 35 can be prevented from being accidentally pushed in. Furthermore, since the cover member 50 includes a pair of rigid plate-like portions 58 adjacent to the inner surface of the side wall 44 of the shroud 40, lateral wobble and deformation of the cover member can be suppressed.
