[0009] The sprayer X and sprayer container 1 according to each embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. The description will be made in detail in the order of the configuration of the embodiment, the method of implementation, and other examples. The following embodiments are merely examples of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments. Furthermore, the term "substantially" in the application documents is a concept that includes cases where the subsequent shape is chamfered or rounded, and where the elements that make up the shape are deformed or changed in length within a range that does not impede the purpose of the configuration.

[0010] First Embodiment The sprayer X of the present invention comprises a container 1 for storing a fluid F and a cylindrical body 2 through which the fluid F flows, and is configured so that it can be changed between a usage state in which the cylindrical body 2 protrudes from the container 1 and a storage state in which it is stored inside the container 1, and in the usage state, the tip of the cylindrical body 2 is attached so as to face the outside of the container 1, and in the storage state, the tip of the cylindrical body 2 is attached so as to face the inside of the container 1. In this embodiment, the cylindrical body 2 is provided so as to be attachable to the opening 111 of the container 1 via the holding part 3, and this opening is provided so as to be switchable between closed and open states by the lid part 4. Furthermore, the tip of the cylindrical body 2 is provided with a spray adjustment part 5 that adjusts the degree of spraying.

[0011] In this specification, the fluid F generally refers to anything that has the property of changing the shape of its mass in response to an external force, and mainly includes liquids, powders, and granules. In this embodiment, the fluid F stored in the container 1 may be various liquids, powders, or granules, such as snow-melting agents (powdered materials such as calcium chloride and urea), herbicides, pesticides, or fertilizers (including powdered and liquid types), disinfectants, rice seeds, and dust suppressants. By dispersing these fluids F over a wide area from the dispenser X, various purposes can be achieved.

[0012] The container 1 is a container that can store a fluid F inside, and has a container body 10 that separates the inside and outside watertightly, a discharge outlet 11 that is provided in the container body 10 and that can inject or expel the fluid F inside, and a handle 12 that is held by the user when spraying the fluid F.

[0013] The cylindrical body 2 is a cylindrical material having an inner diameter large enough to allow the fluid F to pass through, and has a cylindrical main body 20, a tip portion 21 connected to the spray adjustment portion 5 at one end, and a base portion 22 connected to the holding portion 3 at the other end.

[0014] The holding part 3 is a component that penetrates the inside of the cylindrical body 2 and the container main body 10 to connect them, and abuts against the upper edge of the discharge outlet 11, and is held in a state where it is sandwiched between the container 1 and the lid cylinder 41. The holding part 3 is a holding component, and has a holding part main body 30 that connects to the cylindrical body 2, a holding cylinder 31 for connecting to the discharge outlet 11, and a flange part 32 that extends from the circumferential surface of the holding cylinder 31.

[0015] The lid part 4 is a member that covers the discharge outlet 11 and the holding part 3 and enables the discharge outlet 11 to be opened and closed. The lid part 4 has a lid main body 40 that closes the discharge outlet 11, a lid cylinder 41 that is provided to cover the discharge outlet 11, and a lid hinge 42 that connects the lid main body 40 and the lid cylinder 41.

[0016] The spray adjustment part 5 is a part that adjusts the release shape, discharge amount, and discharge direction of the sprayed fluid, and is connected to the tip part 21 of the cylindrical body 2. In this embodiment, the spray adjustment part 5 is a nozzle part 51, and the end part is wider than the tip part 21.

[0017] In the stored state, as shown in the cross-sectional schematic diagram of Figure 2(a) or Figure 3, the sprayer X has the holding part 3 fixed to the discharge outlet 11 via the lid part 4 with the holding part main body 30 facing the bottom side of the container body 10, and furthermore, the cylindrical body 2 is connected and stored to this holding part main body 30 with the tip part 21 facing the inside of the container 1, and the spray adjustment part 5 is connected to this.

[0018] When in use, the sprayer X is fixed to the discharge port 11 via the lid 4 with the holding part 3 facing the outer top surface, as shown in Figure 2(b) or Figure 4, and a cylindrical body 2 with a tip 21 facing outward is connected to this holding part body 30, and a spray adjustment part 5 is connected to this.

[0019] The container body 10 is made of a plastic material such as PE, PP, or PET that is rigid enough not to deform even when the fluid F is stored therein, and is molded as a single unit by blow molding or the like. The bottom surface of the container body 10 is formed to include at least a flat surface, and as shown in FIG. 1 , the discharge port 11 faces the top surface when in the stored state and in the used state. The container body 10 has a storage section 10A below the discharge port 11 that stores the cylindrical body 2 and the spray adjustment section 5 and stores the fluid F, and a storage section 10B that communicates with the side of the storage section 10A and stores the fluid F.

[0020] Further, storage section 10A is a section with a cylindrical circumferential surface directly below discharge outlet 11, which stores cylindrical body 2 and stores fluid F. The diameter of this cylinder is longer than the maximum width of spray adjustment section 5 in a plan view, and the height from discharge outlet 11 to the bottom surface of container body 10 is longer than the height of cylindrical body 2 to which spray adjustment section 5 is attached, making it possible to easily store cylindrical body 2 to which spray adjustment section 5 is attached in a stored state. In the embodiment, the diameter of storage section 10A is approximately the same as or slightly larger than the diameter of discharge outlet 11, and in terms of height, it protrudes upward relative to storage section 10B.

[0021] Storage section 10B is provided adjacent to and integral with storage section 10A, and is a roughly rectangular parallelepiped-shaped section that stores fluid F. Storage section 10B has a top surface located away from discharge port 11, and a bottom surface that extends from storage section 10A. The corners are rounded to make it easier to roll and tip it over on the ground, and the corners parallel to the axis of storage section 10A are particularly rounded to improve the design. The storage section 10B has a notched section 10C cut out at a corner on the bottom side, and a handle 12 is provided so as to connect the ends of the notched section together when viewed from the front. Furthermore, in the storage section 10B, a recessed hook section 10D is provided on the surface farthest from the storage section 10A, and a string can be hooked here to maintain a predetermined angle.

[0022] The discharge port 11 has a cylindrical opening 111 that connects to the container body 10, and an engaging portion 112 that is a threaded portion that is provided on the outer circumferential surface of the opening 111 and engages with the lid portion 4.

[0023] The opening 111 is a cylindrical portion that protrudes toward the top surface of the container 1, and its external shape is substantially the same as the internal shape of the cylindrical lid 41 so that they can be engaged or fitted together. In addition, the outer diameter of the opening 111 is larger than the difference between the diameter of the top surface of the ring-shaped container body 10 (storage portion 10A) and the thickness of the cylindrical lid 41, so that the lid does not protrude.

[0024] The handle 12 is a hole provided away from the edge of the container body 10 in a front view, and has a first handle 121 provided on the top surface of the storage portion 10B and a second handle 122 provided in the cutout portion 10C, and these two parts make it easy for the user to grip the container while maintaining any tilt angle. In the embodiment, the handle 12 is provided integrally with the container body 10 and is hollow inside so that the fluid F can be stored therein, but it may also be provided separately. The handle 12 is formed to have a smaller diameter than the container body 10 so that it tapers toward the front and back, making it easy for the user to grip.

[0025] First handle 121 is provided so as to connect from the portion of storage section 10A that protrudes toward storage section 10B to the edge of the top surface of storage section 10B. The hole formed by first handle 121 has an elongated shape when viewed from the front, and the length of the elongated hole is perpendicular to the bottom surface. This makes it easy for the user to carry the device in the stored state.

[0026] The second gripping hand 122 is provided so as to connect the outer corners of the cutout portion 10C. The hole formed by the second gripping hand 122 has an elongated shape in a front view, and the longitudinal side of the elongated hole is inclined toward the side facing the discharge port 11 with respect to the opening axis of the discharge port 11. This makes it easy to hold the container body 10 at an angle at which the fluid F is discharged when in use. At this time, by simultaneously holding the first gripping hand 121, it is easy to swing the container body 10 around the axis of the second gripping hand 122 and adjust the angle.

[0027] The length of the cylindrical body 20 is at least shorter than the height of the container body 10 (or storage portion 10A), and its maximum diameter is shorter than the diameter of the discharge port 11, making it possible to store the cylindrical body 20 in the storage portion 10A. The cross section of the cylindrical body 20 is circular, and the diameter narrows from the base end 22 to the tip end 21, making it easy to store inside the container 1 and reducing resistance to the fluid when it is removed.

[0028] The base end 22 is the part that fits on the inner periphery to the holder body 30, and the tip end 21 is the part that fits on the outer periphery to the spray adjustment part 5. This outer periphery may be provided with a convex or concave part to improve the fitting performance, or may be provided so that it can be screwed in with a screw.

[0029] The holding unit main body 30 is provided inside the holding tube 31 and is connected to the tube body 2. The holding unit main body 30 has a holding plate 301 that is provided to protrude inside the holding tube 31, a tube connecting part 302 that is a tube that penetrates the front and back of the holding plate 301, and an inclined part 303 that connects the holding plate 301 and the tube connecting part 302 at an incline.

[0030] The holding plate 301 is a plate member provided at the midpoint in the height direction of the holding cylinder 31 so as to protrude inward parallel to the opening surface, and is provided integrally with the holding cylinder 31. This allows the amount of fluid discharged to be adjusted.

[0031] The tube connecting part 302 is a tube that extends and protrudes from one surface of the holding plate 301, and is mated with the base end part 22. The tube connecting part 302 is provided with a step at a midpoint to abut against the end face of the base end part 22, making it easy to fix and support the tube 2. The tube connecting part 302 is also provided eccentrically from the center of the holding plate 301. This allows the position of the tube connecting part 302 relative to the direction of gravity to be changed by rotating the holding part main body 30, and the discharge amount can be adjusted as desired.

[0032] The inclined portion 303 is a portion that extends from the center of the holding plate 301 to the center toward the side surface of the tube connecting portion 302, and is inclined with respect to the surface of the holding plate 301. The inclined portion 303 gives the tube connecting portion 302 a shape that narrows toward the end, which allows the fluid F stored in the container body 10 to be efficiently transferred to the cylindrical body 2. In addition, it is difficult for the fluid to enter the top surface of the holding plate 301 in the stored state.

[0033] The retaining tube 31 surrounds the holder main body 30 and is fitted and held by the discharge port 11. That is, the outer diameter of the retaining tube 31 is approximately the same as or slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the discharge port 11. Furthermore, the end of the retaining tube 31 is arranged to protrude beyond the opening surface of the lid portion 4 when attached, which makes it easier to operate the holder 3 when attached and improves handling performance.

[0034] The flange portion 32 is a flange provided on the outer periphery of the holding tube 31 parallel to the opening surface, and prevents the holding portion 3 from falling into the container body 10. In other words, its outer diameter protrudes more than the inner diameter of the discharge port 11. As shown in FIG. 5 , the flange portion 32 is sandwiched between the upper end of the discharge port 11 and a lid flange 411 (described later), and the holding portion 3 is rotatably fixed to the container 1. It also prevents water leakage. The front and back surfaces of the flange portion 32 are provided parallel to the end face of the holding tube 31, and both surfaces can abut against the upper end of the discharge port 11 and the lid flange 411, so that the holding portion 3 can be sandwiched by the holding portion 3 even when the container is turned upside down.

[0035] 6, the lid body 40 is connected to the lid cylinder 41 via a lid hinge 42 provided at the upper end of the lid cylinder 41, and closes and opens the open end face of the lid cylinder 41. The lid body 40 has a shape that is recessed outward in the stored state, and the depth of this recess is set to at least such an extent that it does not interfere with the holding cylinder 31, thereby reliably closing the discharge port 11 without interference.

[0036] The cylindrical lid 41 has a cylindrical lid body 410 that covers the discharge port 11, a lid flange 411 that fixes the holding part 3, and a lid engaging part 412 that engages with the outer periphery of the discharge port 11.

[0037] The cylindrical lid body 410 is a tube whose inner diameter is at least larger than the outer diameters of the discharge port 11 and the flange portion 32, and its outer circumferential surface is provided with uneven portions at intervals to facilitate rotation. In addition, a step is provided at the upper end to mate with the lid body 40, making it less likely for liquid to leak.

[0038] The inner diameter of the lid flange 411 is set to be smaller than at least the outer diameter of the flange portion 32, preventing the holder 3 from coming off when the lid portion 4 is attached. The mounting height of the lid flange 411 from the bottom end of the cylindrical lid body 410 is set to be approximately the same as the total length of the height of the discharge port 11 and the thickness of the lid flange 411, allowing the lid flange 411 to be firmly fixed, and is also made stronger by setting it lower than the step portion of the cylindrical lid body 410. Preferably, the inner diameter of the lid flange 411 is set to be equal to the outer diameter of the holder tube 31 to facilitate attachment.

[0039] The lid engaging portions 412 correspond to the engaging portions 112 and are a pair of protruding pieces provided along the inner circumferential surface of the cylindrical lid body 410 as shown in Fig. 6, and their protruding height is at most lower than the height of the lid flange 411. The lid engaging portions 412 face each other when viewed from the bottom, and are provided over an area of ​​50% to 80% of the entire cylindrical lid body 410, and are arranged so as not to overlap when viewed from the bottom. In this way, by configuring the lid engagement portion 412 relatively simply, interference with the holding portion 3 is less likely to occur, and the rotation angle required for the lid main body 40 to engage is reduced, making it easier to clamp the holding portion 3.

[0040] The nozzle portion 51 is a part that is connected to the tip portion 21 and is designed so that its cross-sectional area expands from the base toward the outside, and by allowing the fluid F to flow along the inner surface, it makes it easier for the user to see the fluid F when spraying and allows the user to control the destination of the fluid F. The diameter of the circle circumscribing the nozzle spout 51 when viewed in plan is smaller than the inner diameter of the discharge port 11, so that the nozzle spout 51 can be easily stored with the lid engaging portion 412 attached. In addition, as shown in Fig. 2, in the attached state, the cross section of the nozzle spout 51 is inclined relative to the axis, which makes it less susceptible to resistance from the fluid F when the nozzle spout 51 is removed from the stored state, preventing it from coming off.

[0041] The lotus mouth portion 51 may be provided with a lotus flesh portion 52 as shown in FIG. The lotus fruit part 52 is used particularly when the fluid F is a liquid, and is a component for controlling the amount of fluid F discharged, and is attached to the lotus spout 51. The lotus fruit part 52 is a plate-shaped material with a plurality of small holes that penetrate the front and back surfaces, allowing the amount of fluid F to be adjusted. Here, the lotus fruit part 52 fits into the inner peripheral surface of the lotus spout 51, thereby preventing the diameter of the lotus spout 51 from increasing due to attachment, making it difficult to store.

[0042] The following describes in detail a method for carrying out the present invention with reference to the drawings. The present invention is carried out by a user who uses a sprayer in a storage state. The following method is an example, and the method is not limited to this, and the order of the steps may be reversed.

[0043] First, as shown in Fig. 3, the user removes the lid part 4 from the container 1 and pulls out the holding part 3 to remove the cylindrical body 2 and the spray adjustment part 5 from the container body 10. At this time, the user can easily pull them out by holding the cylindrical connection part 302 that protrudes from the discharge port 11.

[0044] Next, the user turns the holding part 3 upside down as shown in Figure 4, and points the tips of the cylindrical body 2 and the spray adjustment part 5 connected to it outward relative to the container body 10. In this state, the user fits the holding part 3 into the discharge port 11 to temporarily hold the holding part 3.

[0045] Finally, the user opens the lid body 40 of the lid part 4 and engages it with the discharge port 11, thereby sandwiching the holding part 3 between the lid part 4 and the discharge port 11. At this time, because the inner diameter of the lid cylinder 41 is larger than the diameter of the circumscribed circle of the spray adjustment part 5 in a plan view, the spray adjustment part 5 can be passed inside the lid cylinder 41 and easily engaged without coming into contact with the adhering fluid F. The user then holds the handle 12 and sprays the fluid F stored inside the container 1. By performing the above operations, the user can use the easy-to-use sprayer X, which can be stored compactly and can spray the fluid F inside.

[0046] The user can reverse the above operation to turn the holding part 3 upside down and store the cylindrical body 2 and the spray adjustment part 5 inside the container 1, thereby returning them to the stored state.

[0047] As a first modification, as shown in Fig. 8, a fluid cleaning part 6 may be provided on the inner circumferential surface of the container body 10 to clean the fluid F adhering to the vicinity of the discharge port 11. It is preferable that the fluid cleaning part 6 be provided on the surface of the container body 10 that is away from the first grip 121. The fluid cleaning part 6 may be, for example, a sponge or cloth material attached thereto. This allows the fluid F adhering to the cylindrical body 2 or the spray adjustment part 5 to be scraped off or absorbed, thereby preventing the fluid F from flowing down the cylindrical body 2 to the outside when switching from the stored state to the use state.

[0048] As a second modified example, as shown in Figure 9, the lid cylinder 41 may be attached to the discharge port 11 on both sides. In this case, the inner surface of the lid cylinder 41 is provided with a storage lid engagement portion 412A that engages with the engagement portion 112 in the stored state, and an in-use lid engagement portion 412B that engages with the engagement portion 112 in the used state. In addition, in this modified example, the holder 3 and lid portion 4 are integrally formed as holding components, and the lid flange 411 is connected to the holding plate 301. In this case, the holding plate 301 is positioned in the middle of the lid cylinder 41, the tube connection portion 302 is attached so that it faces the container side in the stored state, and the lid hinge 42 is attached so that it faces outward in the stored state, thereby preventing interference between the holder 3 and the lid portion 4. When the user uses the container, he opens the lid body 40 and engages the use lid engaging portion 412B with the engaging portion 112. In Fig. 9, the holding portion 3 and the lid portion 4 are integrally formed, but the holding portion 3 may be sandwiched between the lid flange 411 and the discharge port 11 as in the embodiment.

[0049] The device further includes a holding part 3 that holds the cylindrical body 2 at the discharge outlet 11 of the container 1, and the holding part 3 has a holding part main body 30 that connects to the cylindrical body 2. In the usage state, the holding part main body 30 connects to the discharge outlet 11 so that the tube connecting part 302 faces the outside of the container 1, and in the storage state, the holding part main body 30 connects to the discharge outlet 11 so that the tube connecting part 302 faces the inside of the container 1, so that the storage state and the usage state can be easily switched by flipping the holding part 3 over.

[0050] In addition, the device further includes a lid portion 4 capable of closing the discharge port 11, and the holding portion 3 is sandwiched between the discharge port 11 and the lid portion 4, thereby improving the fixing performance of the holding portion 3 and preventing leakage of the fluid F.

[0051] Furthermore, the cylindrical body 2 has a spray adjustment section 5 at its tip that is wider than the tip of the cylindrical body 2, and the diameter of the circumscribed circle of the spray adjustment section 5 in a plan view is smaller than the inner diameter of the discharge port 11, so that even with the spray adjustment section 5, it is easy to switch between the storage state and the usage state.

[0052] In addition, the container 1 has a handle 12 that is held by the user, and the handle 12 has a first handle 121 that is provided close to the discharge outlet 11 of the container 1 and a second handle 122 that is provided away from the discharge outlet 11, making it easy to rotate the discharge outlet 11 and making spraying easier for the user.

[0053] Furthermore, by further providing the fluid cleaning part 6 capable of cleaning the fluid F inside the container 1, it is possible to prevent the fluid from splashing when switching to the use state. [Explanation of symbols]
