Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a set of a lid with a knob and a wide-mouth bottle for improving the usability of personal care products such as shampoo and body soap.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] These have the following drawbacks. (a) The refill inlet on the pump side is extremely narrow, and neither the bottle nor the refill pack has an air outlet. Therefore, during the refilling operation, natural dropping or squeezing out of the contents of the refill pack requires time and labor in both aspects. (b) Also, troubles such as "the outlet of the refill pack is misaligned and the content liquid spills outside the bottle" and "due to the high viscosity of the injection, an appropriate amount of liquid remains in the refill pack" easily occur. (c) Even when cleaning the inside of the bottle before disposal or refilling, the opening becomes the bottle neck, forcing an incomplete operation, and as a result, it is difficult to maintain the hygiene inside the bottle neck in the long term. (d) Although the concept of Japanese Utility Model Application No. 2011-007203 could solve the above three items, unfortunately, it is not practical because the size is limited by "having an opening with the same width as the body of the container for shampoo, etc.". This is because typical refill packs for personal care products are about 120 to 200 millimeters wide, and with a bottle opening of this size, it would be difficult for the average Japanese person, especially a woman who is the main target market, to open the refill cap. This invention was made with the premise of solving these problems. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] We have invented a specially designed large lid that integrates a bottle body (1) with an opening diameter appropriately larger than the width of a typical refill pack, and an opening / closing knob (2) equipped with a male thread for attaching a conventional pump (3), so that various tasks, mainly refilling, can be performed by inserting the refill pack and one hand into the bottle. [Effects of the Invention]

[0006] (i) Refilling and cleaning the inside of the bottle becomes easier compared to conventional pump-type bottles. (b) Unlike Utility Model Application No. 2011-007203, the bottle cap can be opened and closed without difficulty even by women or children with small fingers. (h) By being able to use conventional pumps, production and manufacturing costs can be kept down accordingly. (ii) Unlike Utility Model Application No. 2011-007203, the shape of the bottle is not limited. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0007] [Figure 1] This is a side view of the wide-mouth bottle with a knob-type lid. [Figure 2] This is a top view of the lid with the knob only. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0008] After twisting the knob (4) to remove the lid (2) along with the pump (3), open the refill product and pour the liquid into the opening of the bottle body (1). Alternatively, rinse by inserting water or a cleaning tool. Then, twist the knob again to attach the lid and use as usual. [Explanation of Symbols]
