Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

[0015] Hereinafter, with reference to the drawings, an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described in detail. In the present specification, claims, abstract, and drawings, the side where the lid 60 is located is defined as the upper side (the upper side in FIG. 1), and the side where the rotating portion 30 is provided is defined as the lower side (the lower side in FIG. 1). Further, the radially outer side means the direction away from the central axis O along a straight line passing through the central axis O of the dispensing container 100 along the vertical direction in FIG. 1 and perpendicular to the central axis O, and the radially inner side means the direction toward the central axis O along the straight line.

[0016] FIG. 1 shows a dispensing container 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The dispensing container 100 according to the present embodiment includes a cylindrical container body 10 extending in the vertical direction, a holding cylinder portion 20 disposed inside the container body 10 for holding the content C, and a rotating portion 30 that rotates around the central axis O to lift the holding cylinder portion 20 and the content C accommodated therein along the central axis O. The dispensing container 100 according to the present embodiment accommodates a content C formed in a rod shape such as, for example, cosmetics (concealer, lipstick, lip cream, or stick eyeshadow, etc.), paste, or medicine, and allows the user to dispense and use only the necessary amount of the content C.

[0017] As shown in FIG. 1 and the like, the container body 10 has a substantially cylindrical shape and includes a tip wall 13 having an opening 13b at the upper end and a base end wall 15 extending downward from the lower end portion of the tip wall 13 and being thinner than the tip wall 13.

[0018] Guide grooves 15a are provided at two circumferentially opposing positions on the base end wall 15 of the container body 10. Protrusion portions 21a protruding radially outward from the holding cylinder portion 20 to be described later penetrate through the guide grooves 15a having the vertical direction as the longitudinal direction, thereby restricting the rotation of the holding cylinder portion 20 around the central axis O with respect to the container body 10.

[0019] In addition to various synthetic resins, metal materials such as aluminum can be used as the material of the container body 10.

[0020] At the upper end of the tip wall 13 of the container body 10, a first regulating ring 41 and a second regulating ring 43 are provided to regulate the upward movement of the container body 10 with respect to the outer cylinder portion 31 of the rotating portion 30 described later.

[0021] The first regulating ring 41 includes an upper peripheral wall 41a that surrounds the tip wall 13 from the radially outer side, an arm portion 41b that extends radially outward from the lower end portion of the upper peripheral wall 41a, and a lower peripheral wall 41c that extends downward from the lower end portion of the upper peripheral wall 41a. The lower peripheral wall 41c is fitted into the inner surface of the upper end portion of the outer cylinder portion 31 of the rotating portion 30. On the upper surface of the arm portion 41b and the outer surface of the upper peripheral wall 41a, a lid body 60 that covers the content C from above and radially outward when not in use as shown in FIG. 1 is mounted.

[0022] The second regulating ring 43 is disposed on the inner surface of the lower peripheral wall 41c of the first regulating ring 41, and the second regulating ring 43 covers the lower end portion of the lower peripheral wall 41c from below. By the lower end portion of the second regulating ring 43 abutting against the locking projection 17 that projects radially outward from the lower end portion of the tip wall 13 of the container body 10, the upward movement of the container body 10 with respect to the outer cylinder portion 31 is regulated. Note that the first regulating ring 41 and the second regulating ring 43 may be integrally formed.

[0023] As shown in FIG. 1, the holding cylinder portion 20 includes a cylinder portion main body 21, a holding dish portion 23 that forms an accommodation space for the content C and holds the content C, and an engaging cylinder 25 that stands upward from the upper end portion of the cylinder portion main body 21 and forms an accommodation space for the content C together with the holding dish portion 23. On the outer surface of the engaging cylinder 25, tooth portions 25a that extend vertically are formed at four locations in the circumferential direction (see FIG. 6). The tooth portions 25a formed on the engaging cylinder 25 are configured to engage with vertical ribs 62b provided on the lid body 60 as described later.

[0024] As shown in Fig. 6, the holding dish portion 23 projects radially inward from the upper end portion of the cylindrical portion main body 21 at four locations in the circumferential direction. By filling the content C from below in the figure, the content C solidifies around the holding dish portion 23 and above the holding dish portion 23 and is fixed to the holding cylinder portion 20. The holding dish portion 23 may be provided at three or fewer or five or more locations in the circumferential direction, or may be provided continuously in the circumferential direction. The holding dish portion 23 can take various shapes capable of holding the solidified content C.

[0025] As shown in an enlarged view in Fig. 5, the engaging cylinder 25 is erected on the upper end portion of the cylindrical portion main body 21 via a weakened portion 25c. The engaging cylinder 25 is provided with a tooth portion 25a as an engaging portion on its outer surface that can engage with the vertical rib 62b of the lid body 60.

[0026] As shown in Fig. 6, the tooth portion 25a is intermittently provided in the circumferential direction on the outer surface of the engaging cylinder 25 via a thin-walled portion 25d. The tooth portion 25a is formed at a predetermined pitch in the circumferential direction and extends in substantially the same shape in the vertical direction. In the engaged state of the vertical rib 62b of the lid body 60 shown in Fig. 5 and the tooth portion 25a of the holding cylinder portion 20, the vertical rib 62b enters the circumferential position between the tooth portions 25a and engages in a state where relative rotation in the circumferential direction is impossible.

[0027] On the outer peripheral surface near the lower end portion of the cylindrical portion main body 21, projecting portions 21a extending radially outward are provided at two locations in the circumferential direction. As will be described later, the projecting portions 21a engage with the spiral groove portion 35a of the inner cylinder portion 35 beyond the guide groove 15a of the container body 10. With such a configuration, the rotation of the holding cylinder portion 20 around the central axis O with respect to the container body 10 is restricted by the fitting of the projecting portions 21a into the guide groove 15a. Further, by rotating the rotating portion 30 around the central axis O as will be described later, the projecting portions 21a move upward along the spiral groove portion 35a, so that the holding cylinder portion 20 containing the content C can be moved upward along the central axis O. Thereby, the user can feed out the content C in the accommodation space upward and expose it from the tip wall 13 for use.

[0028] As shown in FIG. 1, the rotating part 30 includes a cylindrical outer cylinder part 31 that is gripped and rotated by the user when feeding out the content C upward, and an inner cylinder part 35 disposed inside the outer cylinder part 31 in the radial direction. On the inner surface in the radial direction of the outer cylinder part 31, outer engagement ribs 31a that are intermittently provided in the circumferential direction and extend in the vertical direction are provided. Further, on the outer surface in the radial direction of the inner cylinder part 35, inner engagement ribs 35b are provided that engage with the outer engagement ribs 31a by entering between the outer engagement ribs 31a and restrict the relative rotation of the inner cylinder part 35 around the central axis O with respect to the outer cylinder part 31. With this configuration, when the user rotates the outer cylinder part 31 around the central axis O, the inner cylinder part 35 rotates in synchronization with the outer cylinder part 31. Therefore, the protrusion 21a of the holding cylinder part 20 can be moved upward along the spiral groove part 35a of the inner cylinder part 35 to feed out the content C upward.

[0029] A bottom wall 32 is provided at the lower end of the outer cylinder part 31, and the feeding-out container 100 can be placed in an upright posture by bringing the bottom wall 32 into contact with the installation surface.

[0030] The inner cylinder part 35 is a cylindrical member that extends in the vertical direction. As described above, it has inner engagement ribs 35b on its outer surface in the radial direction and a spiral groove part 35a on its inner surface in the radial direction. The upward movement of the inner cylinder part 35 with respect to the container body 10 is restricted by the upper end of the inner cylinder part 35 abutting against the locking protrusion 17 of the container body 10.

[0031] The content C fed out from the front end wall 13 of the container body 10 is covered by the lid body 60 as shown in FIG. 1 when the feeding-out container 100 is not in use. The lid body 60 includes a cylindrical side wall 61 that fits on the outer peripheral surface of the upper peripheral wall 41a of the first regulating ring 41, and a top wall 62 that closes the upper end of the side wall 61.

[0032] The lid body 60 is provided with a fitting cylinder portion 62a that hangs down from the top wall 62. Further, on the inner surface of the fitting cylinder portion 62a, vertical ribs 62b that project radially inward are provided. The vertical ribs 62b are formed on at least a part of the circumferential direction of the inner surface of the fitting cylinder portion 62a. In the present embodiment, when the holding cylinder portion 20 is lifted up to the top dead center (see FIG. 3) and the lid body 60 is attached, the vertical ribs 62b of the fitting cylinder portion 62a can be engaged with tooth portions 25a that are formed on the outer surface of the engaging cylinder 25 of the holding cylinder portion 20 at a predetermined pitch and extend in the vertical direction (see FIGS. 4 and 5). In the state of FIG. 3 before the lid body 60 is attached, the content C remains between the tooth portions 25a. However, when the vertical ribs 62b enter between the tooth portions 25a, the content remaining between the tooth portions 25a is crushed and pushed out through the gap between the vertical ribs 62b and the tooth portions 25a, so it does not affect the engagement between the vertical ribs 62b and the tooth portions 25a. From this viewpoint, it is preferable that the vertical ribs 62b and the tooth portions 25a have slightly different shapes in plan view and have a gap when engaged. Note that the engaging portions of the holding cylinder portion 20 and the lid body 60 may be engaged with each other when the holding cylinder portion 20 is lifted up to a predetermined height below the top dead center.

[0033] FIG. 5 shows an enlarged cross-sectional view of the state when the engaging portions of the holding cylinder portion 20 and the lid body 60 are engaged with each other. When the lid body 60 is attached in the state where the holding cylinder portion 20 shown in FIG. 3 is lifted up to the top dead center (see FIGS. 4 and 5), the vertical ribs 62b enter between the tooth portions 25a and engage, and the lower end portion of the vertical ribs 62b abuts against an inclined portion 25b that is provided at the lower end portion of the tooth portions 25a on the holding cylinder portion 20 side and inclines upward toward the radially outer side. With this configuration, a rotational moment in a direction in which the upper part opens radially outward acts on the engaging cylinder 25.

[0034] The engaging cylinder 25 is connected to the upper end portion of the cylinder main body 21 via a weakened portion 25c. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, the weakened portion 25c is configured in a hinge shape having a notch portion on the radially outer side. When a rotational moment in a direction in which the upper portion of the engaging cylinder 25 as described above opens outward in the radial direction acts, the notch portion deforms so as to become narrower in the vertical direction, promoting the upper portion of the engaging cylinder 25 to fall outward in the radial direction (see FIG. 5).

[0035] As shown in FIG. 1, a third regulating ring 45 is disposed at a radial position between the side wall 61 of the lid body 60 and the tip wall 13 of the container body 10. The third regulating ring 45 is attached to the lid body 60 by engaging a flange portion 45b protruding radially outward from the lower end portion of the upper peripheral wall 45a with the inner surface of the lid body 60. The third regulating ring 45 has a lower peripheral wall 45c extending downward from the flange portion 45b to approximately the central height of the side wall 61, optimizing the radial interval between the side wall 61 of the lid body 60 and the tip wall 13 of the container body 10 and smoothing the relative rotation between the lid body 60 and the container body 10 during the rotation operation of the lid body 60.

[0036] When using the dispensing container 100 having such a configuration, first, the user grips the outer cylinder portion 31 of the rotating portion 30 with one finger and pulls upward while gripping the side wall 61 of the lid body 60 with the other finger from the state of FIG. 1 to open the opening 13b on the upper end side of the container body 10. Next, the user rotates around the central axis O while gripping the tip wall 13 of the container body 10 with one finger and gripping the outer cylinder portion 31 of the rotating portion 30 with the other finger.

[0037] When the user rotates the outer cylinder portion 31, the outer engaging rib 31a and the inner engaging rib 35b engage with each other, and the inner cylinder portion 35 rotates in synchronization with the outer cylinder portion 31. For this reason, the protrusion 21a of the holding cylinder portion 20 can be moved upward along the spiral groove portion 35a of the inner cylinder portion 35 to feed out and expose the content C upward from the tip wall 13.

[0038] When the user finishes using the content C (applying it to the application surface), the user rotates the rotating part 30 in the reverse direction as necessary so that the dispensed content C does not contact the lid 60, lowers the content C downward by a necessary amount, and then attaches the lid 60 again.

[0039] As shown in FIG. 2, when the protrusion 21a of the holding cylinder part 20 abuts against the engaging protrusion 15b provided closer to the upper side of the guide groove 15a, the user recognizes that the content C has been used until the upper end surface of the remaining content C and the upper end part of the engaging cylinder 25 are approximately at the same height. Next, the user rotates the rotating part 30 with a stronger rotational force so that the protrusion 21a gets over the engaging protrusion 15b, and feeds it upward until the holding cylinder part 20 reaches the top dead center as shown in FIG. 3. Then, the lid 60 is attached again so as to cover the opening 13b of the container body 10, and the vertical rib 62b of the lid 60 is engaged with the tooth part 25a of the holding cylinder part 20. This time, while gripping the rotating part 30 with one finger, the side wall 61 of the lid 60 is rotated around the central axis O.

[0040] Due to the rotation operation of the lid 60, the vertical rib 62b starts to rotate in the circumferential direction. Therefore, the tooth part 25a that engages with the vertical rib 62b in a non-rotatable manner in the circumferential direction also starts to rotate in the circumferential direction. On the other hand, the engaging cylinder 25 provided with the tooth part 25a is connected to the cylinder part main body 21 via the weakened part 25c. However, the rotation of the cylinder part main body 21 around the central axis O is restricted because the protrusion 21a penetrates the guide groove 15a. For this reason, relative circumferential rotation of the engaging cylinder 25 with respect to the cylinder part main body 21 occurs, and eventually the weakened part 25c breaks and the engaging cylinder 25 separates from the cylinder part main body 21.

[0041] The engaging cylinder 25 has a rotational moment acting in a direction in which the upper part of the engaging cylinder 25 opens radially outward because the inclined part 25b provided at the lower end of the tooth part 25a is pressed downward by the lower end of the vertical rib 62b of the lid body 60. Further, as shown in FIG. 6, the engaging cylinder 25 is provided with a thin part 25d at the circumferential position between the tooth parts 25a, so that it is relatively easy to extend in the circumferential direction, and has a structure that helps the upper part of the engaging cylinder 25 to open radially outward. Furthermore, the weakening part 25c that supports the engaging cylinder 25 is configured in a hinge shape having a notch part on the radially outer side, so that the notch part is easily deformed so as to become narrower vertically, and therefore the upper part of the engaging cylinder 25 is easily deformed in the direction of opening radially outward. With this configuration, the content C remaining on the radially inner side easily peels off from the engaging cylinder 25 that has opened slightly outward. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 7, when the lid body 60 is moved upward and removed from the rotating part 30 again, the engaging cylinder 25 moves upward together with the lid body 60 while maintaining the engagement between the tooth part 25a and the vertical rib 62b, and the content C peeled off from the engaging cylinder 25 remains on the side of the cylinder part main body 21 while being held by the holding dish part 23.

[0042] The content C remaining on the side of the cylinder part main body 21 while being held by the holding dish part 23 is in a state where the side is exposed due to the separation of the engaging cylinder 25. Therefore, the user can easily use the remaining content C with the side exposed in addition to the upper side, and can use up the content C until the upper surface of the content C is substantially at the same height as the upper surface of the holding dish part 23.

[0043] In addition, in the state of FIG. 7, by removing and discarding the engaging cylinder 25 engaged with the lid body 60 side, it is possible to suppress the engaging cylinder 25 from coming into contact with the content C or the like when the lid body 60 is attached to the rotating part 30 again.

[0044] As described above, this embodiment includes a container body 10 having a cylindrical shape, a holding cylinder portion 20 provided inside the container body 10 for holding the content C, a rotating portion 30 that rotates around the central axis O to lift the holding cylinder portion 20 along the central axis O, and a lid body 60 that covers the content C held by the holding cylinder portion 20. The inner surface of the lid body 60 and the outer surface of the holding cylinder portion 20 have engaging portions that engage with each other in a non-rotatable state in the circumferential direction when the holding cylinder portion 20 is lifted to a predetermined height. The engaging portion on the holding cylinder portion 20 side is configured to be formed on the outer surface of an engaging cylinder 25 that is continuous with the upper end portion of the cylinder body 21 of the holding cylinder portion 20 via a weakened portion 25c. By adopting such a configuration, when the lid body 60 is rotated with the holding cylinder portion 20 and the lid body 60 engaged, the weakened portion 25c is broken to remove the engaging cylinder 25, and the side of the content C remaining inside the engaging cylinder 25 can be exposed. Therefore, the content C remaining in the holding cylinder portion 20 can be easily used up.

[0045] Also, in this embodiment, an inclined portion 25b that inclines upward toward the outside in the radial direction is formed at the lower end portion of the engaging portion on the holding cylinder portion 20 side. When the lid body 60 is attached in a state where the holding cylinder portion 20 is lifted to a predetermined height (the top dead center of the holding cylinder portion 20 in this embodiment), the lower end portion of the engaging portion on the lid body 60 side abuts against the inclined portion 25b, and a rotational moment in the direction of opening the upper portion of the engaging cylinder 25 outward in the radial direction is configured to act. By adopting such a configuration, since the upper portion of the engaging cylinder 25 is slightly displaced in the direction of opening outward in the radial direction, the content C remaining inside the engaging cylinder 25 in the radial direction can be easily peeled off from the outwardly opened engaging cylinder 25. Therefore, since the content C peeled off from the engaging cylinder 25 remains on the cylinder body 21 side while being held by the holding dish portion 23, the remaining content C with the side exposed can be easily utilized to use up the content C.

[0046] In addition, in the present embodiment, the weakened portion 25c is configured to be formed in a hinge shape having a notch portion on the radially outer side. By adopting such a configuration, it is easy for the notch portion to be deformed so as to be narrowed in the vertical direction, and therefore, the upper portion of the engaging cylinder 25 can be configured to be more easily deformed in the direction of opening radially outward. Therefore, the remaining content C can be more easily peeled off from the engaging cylinder 25, and the remaining content C with the side exposed can be easily used up.

[0047] In addition, in the present embodiment, the engaging portion (tooth portion 25a) on the side of the holding cylinder portion 20 is intermittently arranged in the circumferential direction via the thin-walled portion 25d on the engaging cylinder 25 of the holding cylinder portion 20. By adopting such a configuration, since the thin-walled portion 25d is provided at the circumferential position between the tooth portions 25a, it is relatively easy to extend in the circumferential direction, and it is possible to further assist the upper portion of the engaging cylinder 25 to open radially outward. Therefore, the remaining content C can be more easily peeled off from the engaging cylinder 25, and the remaining content C with the side exposed can be easily used up.

[0048] In addition, in the present embodiment, the engaging portion on the lid body 60 side is configured to be the vertical rib 62b that protrudes radially inward from the inner surface of the fitting cylinder portion 62a that hangs down from the top wall 62 of the lid body 60. By adopting such a configuration, an engaging portion for breaking the weakened portion 25c and removing the engaging cylinder 25 can be integrally formed with the lid body 60. Therefore, it is possible to realize a configuration in which the remaining content C can be easily used up without requiring an additional member.

[0049] In addition, in the present embodiment, the engaging portion on the holding cylinder portion 20 side is configured to be the tooth portion 25a that is formed at a predetermined pitch in the circumferential direction and extends in the vertical direction on the outer surface of the engaging cylinder 25. By adopting such a configuration, the engaging portion (vertical rib 62b) on the lid body 60 side can be easily engaged by a simple operation of mounting the lid body 60 from above, and the engaging cylinder 25 can be removed. Therefore, it is possible to realize a configuration in which the remaining content C can be easily used up by a simple operation.

[0050] In addition, in the present embodiment, the holding cylinder portion 20 has a protrusion 21a extending radially outward, and the rotating portion 30 is configured to have a spiral groove portion 35a with which the protrusion 21a engages. By adopting such a configuration, the rotational movement of the rotating portion 30 can be converted into a translational movement in the vertical direction with a simple configuration, so that the configuration of the feeding container 100 can be simplified.

[0051] In addition, in the present embodiment, the protrusion 21a is provided on the holding cylinder portion 20 and the spiral groove portion 35a is provided on the rotating portion 30, and the protrusion 21a is configured to engage with the spiral groove portion 35a through the guide groove 15a provided on the container body 10. By adopting such a configuration, the holding cylinder portion 20 is restricted from rotating around the central axis O with respect to the container body 10 due to the fitting of the protrusion 21a into the guide groove 15a, so that it can be prevented from rotating with respect to the container body 10 when feeding the content C upward. Further, by rotating the rotating portion 30 around the central axis O, the protrusion 21a moves upward along the spiral groove portion 35a, so that the holding cylinder portion 20 containing the content C can be moved upward along the central axis O. Thus, since the protrusion 21a can serve both as a function of preventing rotation around the content C and a function of feeding upward, the configuration of the feeding container 100 can be simplified.

[0052] In addition, in the present embodiment, the rotating portion 30 has an outer cylinder portion 31 and an inner cylinder portion 35 disposed radially inside the outer cylinder portion 31. The inner engagement rib 35b provided on the radially outer surface of the inner cylinder portion 35 fits between the outer engagement ribs 31a provided on the radially inner surface of the outer cylinder portion 31, whereby the relative rotation of the inner cylinder portion 35 with respect to the outer cylinder portion 31 around the central axis O is restricted, and a spiral groove portion 35a is provided on the radially inner surface of the inner cylinder portion 35. By adopting such a configuration, the rotating portion 30 can be divided in the radial direction to facilitate the assembly of the feeding container 100. Further, the outer cylinder portion 31 and the inner cylinder portion 35 can be formed of different materials. For example, polypropylene (PP) can be used for the material of the outer cylinder portion 31, and polyoxymethylene (POM) can be used for the material of the inner cylinder portion 35.

[0053] Although the present disclosure has been described based on the drawings and examples, it should be noted that those skilled in the art can easily make various modifications and changes based on the present disclosure. Therefore, it should be noted that these modifications and changes are included in the scope of the present invention. For example, the functions included in each component can be rearranged so as not to be logically contradictory, and a plurality of components can be combined into one or divided. It should be understood that these are also included in the scope of the present invention.

[0054] For example, in the present embodiment, the holding cylinder portion 20 is provided with the protrusion portion 21a, and the inner cylinder portion 35 of the rotating portion 30 is provided with the spiral groove portion 35a. However, the present invention is not limited to this aspect.
