Description

Technical Field

[0001] This specification discloses technologies related to bottles for liquids.

Background Art

[0002] A bottle for liquids is a container for storing liquids such as detergents, body soaps, shampoos, and lotions. When the remaining amount of the liquid stored in the bottle for liquids decreases, it is known to refill the bottle for liquids with the liquid from a refill pack containing the refill liquid (for example, see Patent Document 1).

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] Conventionally, when transferring the liquid from the refill pack to the bottle for liquids while the liquid stored in the bottle for liquids has not sufficiently decreased, there is a high possibility that the liquid will overflow from the bottle for liquids, which causes problems such as the user wasting the liquid or soiling the surroundings.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0005] One form of the liquid bottle disclosed in this specification includes a storage portion that defines a space for storing a liquid, and an opening portion configured to be refillable with the liquid in the storage portion. On either the outer side or the inner side of the wall surface in the storage portion, a refill mark is provided that indicates the position of the liquid level of the liquid reduced to an amount recommended for refilling the storage portion. According to this form of the liquid bottle, by providing a refill mark at a position corresponding to the amount of liquid in the refill pack corresponding to this liquid bottle, the user can confirm that the water level in the storage portion is below the refill mark and then perform refilling from the refill pack, thereby preventing the liquid from overflowing from the liquid bottle during refilling.

Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0007] FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a liquid bottle 100 of the first embodiment. The liquid bottle 100 is a container for storing a liquid 200 such as body soap, shampoo, and lotion. The liquid bottle 100 includes a storage portion 110, an opening portion 120, a cap 130, and a pump 140.

[0008] The storage portion 110 of the liquid bottle 100 is a container that defines a space for storing the liquid 200. The storage portion 110 is made of synthetic resin. The storage portion 110 is transparent or translucent to such an extent that the liquid level 210 of the stored liquid 200 can be visually observed from the outside.

[0009] On the outside of the wall surface 112 in the accommodating portion 110, a refill mark 150 is provided. The refill mark 150 indicates the position of the liquid level 210 of the liquid 200 that has been reduced to the amount recommended for refilling the accommodating portion 110. The refill mark 150 is formed by the unevenness on the outer surface of the wall surface 112. In other embodiments, the refill mark 150 may be printed on the outer surface of the wall surface 112.

[0010] The opening 120 of the liquid bottle 100 is a part configured to allow the liquid 200 to flow in and out between the inside and the outside of the accommodating portion 110. The opening 120 is configured to be refillable with the liquid 200 into the accommodating portion 110.

[0011] The cap 130 of the liquid bottle 100 is a lid that closes the opening 120. The cap 130 is configured to be detachable from the opening 120.

[0012] The pump 140 of the liquid bottle 100 is a manual pump for taking out the liquid 200 accommodated in the accommodating portion 110 to the outside. In this embodiment, the liquid bottle 100 is configured to take out the liquid 200 to the outside via the pump 140. In other embodiments, the liquid bottle 100 may be configured to directly pour the liquid 200 to the outside from the opening 120. Also, the liquid bottle 100 may be configured to include a spray mechanism instead of the pump 140.

[0013] According to the liquid bottle 100 described above, by providing the refill mark 150 at a position corresponding to the amount of liquid in the refill pack (not shown) corresponding to this liquid bottle 100, the user can visually confirm that the liquid level 210 in the accommodating portion 110 is below the refill mark 150, and then perform the refill from the refill pack, thereby preventing the liquid 200 from overflowing from the liquid bottle 100 during the refill.

[0014] FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing the liquid bottle 102 of the second embodiment. The liquid bottle 102 of the second embodiment is the same as the liquid bottle 100 of the first embodiment, except that it is provided with a refill mark 152 instead of the refill mark 150. The refill mark 152 of the second embodiment is printed on a label 160 attached to the outside of the wall surface 112 of the housing portion 110. The refill mark 152 indicates the position of the liquid level 210 of the liquid 200 reduced to the amount recommended for refilling the housing portion 110, similarly to the refill mark 150 of the first embodiment.

[0015] According to the liquid bottle 102 described above, similarly to the liquid bottle 100 of the first embodiment, it is possible to prevent the liquid 200 from overflowing from the liquid bottle 100 during refilling.

[0016] FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing the liquid bottle 103 of the third embodiment. The liquid bottle 103 of the third embodiment is the same as the liquid bottle 100 of the first embodiment, except that the housing portion 110 is opaque to the extent that the liquid level 210 of the liquid 200 cannot be visually observed from the outside, and that it is provided with a refill mark 153 instead of the refill mark 150. The refill mark 153 of the third embodiment is provided inside the wall surface 112 in the housing portion 110. The refill mark 153 indicates the position of the liquid level 210 of the liquid 200 reduced to the amount recommended for refilling the housing portion 110, similarly to the refill mark 150 of the first embodiment. The refill mark 153 is formed by the unevenness of the inner surface of the wall surface 112.

[0017] According to the liquid bottle 103 described above, by providing the refill mark 153 at a position corresponding to the amount of liquid in the refill pack (not shown) corresponding to this liquid bottle 103, the user can visually confirm through the opening 120 that the liquid level 210 in the housing portion 110 is below the refill mark 153, and then perform refilling from the refill pack, thereby preventing the liquid 200 from overflowing from the liquid bottle 103 during refilling.

[0018] The technology disclosed in this specification is not limited to the above-described embodiments, examples, and variations, and can be implemented in various configurations without departing from the spirit thereof. For example, among the technical features in the above-described embodiments, examples, and variations, those corresponding to the technical features in each form described in the summary of the invention column can be appropriately replaced and combined in order to solve some or all of the above-described problems or to achieve some or all of the above-described effects. In addition, technical features not described as essential in this specification can be appropriately deleted.
