AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

There is no existing instrument that allows for the one-handed refilling of a push bottle's liquid contents, which are enclosed in a bag, especially when one hand is unavailable due to injury or other reasons.

Method used

A device comprising a punch, S-shaped hooks, side walls with beams, a tube for holding the push bottle, a chain with an S-shaped hook, a pinch, a funnel, and scissors, which collectively enable the refilling of the liquid bag with one hand by creating a hole, hanging the bag, and using a chain and funnel to guide the liquid back into the push bottle.

Benefits of technology

Enables the one-handed refilling of liquid in a push bottle, ensuring continuous use even when one hand is unavailable, thereby maintaining personal hygiene and meeting the needs of single households, especially those with elderly members.

Abstract

To provide a liquid refilling device which allows a user, when one hand cannot be used due to injury or the like, to refill liquid sealed in a bag with the other hand when the liquid in a push bottle runs low. [Solution] The device comprises a punch that can make a hole in the glued part of a bag containing liquid, an S-shaped hook 1 that can be hung into the hole, two opposing side walls with a beam attached to the top on which the S-shaped hook 1 can be hung, a tube adjacent to those side walls and surrounded by two lower side walls in which a push bottle can be stored, a chain with a clip attached to one end that can clamp the cut part of the bag to make it easier to recover that part, and an S-shaped hook 2 attached to the middle, a funnel that recovers the flowing liquid in a push bottle, and scissors for cutting the cut part.

Description

[Technical field]

[0001] This relates to a device for refilling a push bottle with liquid sealed in a bag. [Background technology]

[0002] Although a device has been devised that allows a sealed container to be opened with one hand, there was no device that allows a liquid sealed in a bag to be refilled with one hand after opening the lid of a push bottle. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Mito 3249776 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] We propose a device that allows a person who is unable to use one hand due to injury to use the other hand to refill a bag of liquid when the liquid in the push bottle runs low. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] The liquid refilling device comprises a punch capable of making a hole in the adhesive part of a bag containing liquid, an S-shaped hook 1 that can be hung on the hole, two opposing side walls with a beam attached to the top on which the S-shaped hook 1 can be hung, a tube adjacent to those side walls and surrounded by two lower side walls in which a push bottle can be stored, a chain with a pinch attached to one end to make it easier to collect the cut part of the bag by pinching it, and an S-shaped hook 2 attached to the middle, a funnel that collects the flowing liquid in a push bottle, and scissors that cut the cut part, and allows the liquid sealed in the bag to be refilled with one hand when the liquid in the push bottle becomes low. Effect of the Invention

[0006] By using the tool set of this invention, if one hand is unable to be used due to injury, etc., when liquids such as shampoo, conditioner, and body soap in a push bottle run low, the liquid sealed in the bag can be refilled with the other hand, allowing single-person households to keep their bodies clean even when one hand is unable to be used due to injury, etc. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0007] [Figure 1] 1 is a perspective view of one embodiment of the device of the present invention; [Diagram 2] FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the interior of one embodiment of the device of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0008] The tube, which is part of the device, is light and water-resistant if it is made of burnt cedar, but the material is not limited to burnt cedar. The beam attached to the tube can be made of pine, but the material is not limited to pine. EXAMPLES

[0009] The high side wall was made of two burnt cedar boards, each 15 mm thick, 10 cm wide, and 55 cm long, the low side wall was made of two burnt cedar boards, each 15 mm thick, 15 cm wide, and 15 cm long, and the beam was made of a pine round bar, each 15 mm in diameter and 15 cm long, which was screwed together to form a cylinder that could hold a push bottle. A commercially available funnel, hole punch, chain, S-hook, scissors, and pinch were prepared to make the device of the present invention. Using this device set, the lid of a shampoo-filled push bottle with little content was opened, a funnel was inserted, a hole was made with a hole punch in the welding part farthest from the opening of the bag containing the shampoo, S-hook 1 was hung on the beam, the bag was hung on S-hook 1, a pinch with a chain threaded through it was clamped to the opening, S-hook 2 was hung on the beam, and the chain was hung on the hook, and the position where the shampoo flows down from the opening was adjusted so that it was inside the funnel, the opening was cut with pinch, and it was confirmed that all the shampoo had flowed down into the push bottle. [Industrial Applicability]

[0010] Currently, even though Japan's population is declining, the number of single-person households aged 65 and over is on the rise. With the use of this device, even if one hand is injured and cannot be used, the remaining hand can be used to refill push bottles containing shampoo and other liquids, so demand is expected to grow within the country.

Claims

[Claim 1] This liquid refilling device comprises a punch capable of making a hole in the adhesive part of a bag in which liquid is sealed, an S-shaped hook 1 capable of being hung in the hole, two opposing side walls with a beam attached to the upper part on which the S-shaped hook 1 can be hung, a tube adjacent to those side walls and surrounded by two lower side walls in which a push bottle can be stored, a chain with a pinch attached to one end for facilitating recovery of a cut part of the bag by pinching the cut part, and an S-shaped hook 2 attached to the middle, a funnel for recovering the flowing liquid in a push bottle, and scissors for cutting the cut part, and allows the liquid sealed in the bag to be refilled with one hand when the liquid in the push bottle becomes low.
