Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a feeding container used for accommodating and applying a rod-shaped content such as lip cream, and particularly to a feeding container capable of preventing the rod-shaped content such as lip cream from being fed out unintentionally (automatically).

Background Art

[0002] Lip cream placed in a pocket or pouch often automatically feeds out from the feeding container, and the lip cream often adheres to the inside of the cap. When the cap is removed and the lip cream is attached to the cap side, each time, there is the trouble of wiping the lip cream attached to the cap, and the lip cream is wasted. Furthermore, when the lip cream adheres to the cap side, the shape of the lip clip is deformed and the usability also deteriorates.

[0004] Patent Document 1 Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2021-7529 Summary of the Invention Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] However, the technology of Patent Document 1 can simplify the operation of protruding a rod-shaped content to a position suitable for use or accommodating it in a container, and can finely adjust the protruding amount of the rod-shaped content, thereby improving the operability. However, there is no technical idea that can prevent the rod-shaped content such as lip cream from being extruded unintentionally (automatically).

[0006] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a feeding container that can prevent a rod-shaped content such as lip cream from being extruded unintentionally. Means for Solving the Problems

[0007] The feeding container according to the invention of claim 1 includes an outer cylinder portion provided with a partition portion that divides the inside of the cylinder into upper and lower parts, a screw rod portion disposed inside the cylinder of the outer cylinder portion and penetrating the partition portion, a tray portion disposed above the partition portion inside the cylinder of the outer cylinder portion, screwed to the screw rod portion, and holding a rod-shaped content, an inner cylinder portion disposed below the partition portion inside the cylinder of the outer cylinder portion and integrated with the screw rod portion, a shaft portion inserted into the cylinder of the inner cylinder portion and provided with a protrusion protruding in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction at the tip, and a knob portion integrated with the base end portion of the shaft portion in the axial direction and disposed on the base end portion side of the outer cylinder portion. The inner cylinder portion has a fitting portion into which the protrusion of the shaft portion fits, and a free rotation portion provided above the fitting portion and allowing free rotation of the protrusion of the shaft portion.

[0008] The above outer cylinder portion has a cylindrical shape such as a circular cylinder or a square cylinder extending along the axis, that is, extending in the vertical direction, and has a partition portion that divides the inside of the cylinder into upper and lower parts. Note that the above partition portion is not limited to an integral one and may be in a divided form.

[0009] The above-mentioned screw rod portion is disposed inside the outer cylinder portion, has a substantially axial portion, and has male threads helically engraved on its outer peripheral surface, that is, has grooves or protrusions formed spirally along the axial direction. It penetrates the partition portion inside the outer cylinder portion, and a saucer portion is screwed on the upper side of the partition portion. Note that the grooves or protrusions formed spirally are not limited to those that are continuously spiral along the axial direction as long as the saucer portion screwed thereinto can move relatively along the axial direction, and may be discontinuous. Further, penetrating the above-mentioned partition portion may mean being inserted into a hole formed in the partition portion, or being inserted into a space formed by the divided partition portions.

[0010] The above-mentioned saucer portion has a hole through which the screw rod portion is inserted in the center, and female threads are helically engraved on the inner peripheral surface (inner peripheral wall surface) forming the hole. It is screwed onto the screw rod portion above the partition portion inside the outer cylinder portion by screwing with the male threads helically engraved on the outer peripheral wall surface of the screw rod portion. When a rod-shaped content is accommodated therein, this saucer portion supports the base end portion side in the longitudinal direction of the rod-shaped content. Note that examples of the above-mentioned rod-shaped content include cosmetic materials such as stick-shaped lip creams, lipsticks, foundations, concealers, and eyeshadows, pastes, crayons, drugs, and the like.

[0011] The above-mentioned inner cylinder portion has a cylindrical shape such as a cylindrical shape or a square cylinder shape, is disposed below the partition portion inside the outer cylinder portion, and is integrated with the screw rod portion by adhesion or the like. Inside it, a shaft portion having a protrusion formed at the tip is inserted. This inner cylinder portion has a fitting portion in the cylinder into which the protrusion of the shaft portion fits, and a free rotation portion provided above the fitting portion that allows free rotation of the protrusion. The protrusion of the shaft portion is insertable into the fitting portion or the free rotation portion. The fitting portion of the inner cylinder portion and the protrusion of the shaft portion only need to have an engagement relationship in which the inner cylinder portion and the shaft portion are interlocked by their fitting, and their shapes are not particularly limited.

[0012] The above-mentioned shaft portion is rotatably inserted into the inner cylinder portion and has a protrusion formed at the tip in the axial direction extending in a direction substantially perpendicular to the axial direction. The above-mentioned knob portion is integrated with the base end portion in the axial direction of the shaft portion and is disposed on the base end portion side of the outer cylinder portion.

Advantages of the Invention

[0013] According to the feeding container according to the invention of claim 1, a tray portion for holding a rod-shaped content is screwed into the cylinder of the outer cylinder portion provided with a partition portion for partitioning up and down in the cylinder, and a screw rod portion penetrating the partition portion is disposed. An inner cylinder portion is integrated with the base end portion in the axial direction of the screw rod portion. Further, a shaft portion provided with a protrusion protruding in a direction substantially perpendicular to the axial direction is inserted into the cylinder of the inner cylinder portion, and a knob portion disposed on the base end portion side of the outer cylinder portion is integrated with the base end portion in the axial direction of the shaft portion. The inner cylinder portion has a fitting portion into which the protrusion of the shaft portion fits and a free rotation portion provided above the fitting portion and allowing free rotation of the protrusion.

[0014] From this, when the knob portion disposed on the base end portion side of the outer cylinder portion is pushed upward and the protrusion of the shaft portion integrated with the knob portion enters the free rotation portion provided above the fitting portion of the inner cylinder portion, even if the knob portion rotates, the protrusion of the shaft portion integrated with the knob portion rotates freely within the free rotation portion of the inner cylinder portion, so that the inner cylinder portion and the screw rod portion joined thereto do not rotate, and the tray portion screwed to the screw rod portion and holding the rod-shaped content does not move along the axial direction of the screw rod portion on the screw rod portion, and the rod-shaped content is not fed out from the outer cylinder portion.

[0015] On the other hand, when pulling downward while rotating the knob portion disposed on the base end portion side of the outer cylinder portion and fitting the protrusion of the shaft portion integrated with the knob portion into the fitting portion provided below the free rotation portion of the inner cylinder portion, when the knob portion rotates, the shaft portion and the inner cylinder portion rotate integrally, and further, the screw rod portion integrated with the inner cylinder portion also rotates, and the tray portion screwed to the screw rod portion and holding the rod-shaped content becomes movable along the axial direction of the screw rod portion on the screw rod portion, and the rod-shaped content can be freely fed out from the outer cylinder portion.

[0016] Therefore, when the knob portion disposed on the proximal end side of the outer cylinder portion is pushed upward, the protrusion of the shaft portion is inserted into the idle rotation portion of the inner cylinder portion, and even if the knob portion rotates, the shaft portion idles at the idle rotation portion of the inner cylinder portion, and the rotation of the knob portion is not transmitted to the inner cylinder portion and the screw rod portion. Thus, even if the knob portion rotates unintentionally, the situation where the rod-shaped content is fed out is prevented. Also, during use, when the knob portion is pulled down while rotating it so that the protrusion of the shaft portion is fitted into the fitting portion of the inner cylinder portion, the rotation of the knob portion causes the shaft portion and the inner cylinder portion to rotate integrally in conjunction with it. Further, the screw rod portion integrated with the inner cylinder portion also rotates, and the tray portion that is screwed to the screw rod portion and holds the rod-shaped content becomes movable along the axial direction of the screw rod portion on the screw rod portion, so that the rod-shaped content can be fed out freely. In this way, unless an operation of intentionally pinching and rotating the knob portion while pulling it down is performed, the rod-shaped content cannot be fed out freely, and it is possible to prevent the rod-shaped content from being fed out unintentionally.

Embodiments for Carrying out the Invention

[0018] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the embodiments, the same symbols and the same reference numerals mean the same or corresponding functional parts in the embodiments, so redundant detailed descriptions are omitted here.

[0019] [Embodiments] The feeding container according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5. The embodiment of the present invention is shown as an example in which the feeding container of the present invention is applied to a lip cream container.

[0020] As shown in FIG. 1, the lip cream container 1 as the feeding container of the present embodiment is made of resin (for example, a hard resin such as polypropylene), and includes a container body 2 that houses a lip cream LB (rod-shaped cosmetic) which is a rod-shaped content, and a resin (for example, a hard resin such as polypropylene) that is detachably fitted (fitted) to the upper opening of the container body 2 to open and close the opening, and a capped short cylindrical cap 3. The lip cream container 1 has a central axis O (see FIG. 2). Here, the direction in which the central axis O extends is defined as the vertical direction and the axial direction. The side where the cap 3 is attached and the lip cream LB is fed out is the upper side (one side in the axial direction), and the opposite side is the lower side (the other side in the axial direction).

[0021] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, the container body 2 is formed with a partition portion 12 that divides the inside of the cylinder vertically, and has a substantially bottomed cylindrical outer cylinder portion 11 with a bottom portion 13 formed at one end in the vertical direction (longitudinal direction). Inside the outer cylinder portion 11, there is a threaded rod portion 21 disposed, passing through the partition portion 12, and having a flange portion 21B formed at the base end portion in the axial direction. Above the partition portion 12 inside the outer cylinder portion 11, there is a tray portion 15 disposed, screwed onto the threaded rod portion 21, and holding the lip cream LB which is a rod-shaped content. Below the partition portion 12 inside the outer cylinder portion 11, there is an inner cylinder portion 31 disposed and joined to the threaded rod portion 21. A shaft portion 41 is inserted into the inner cylinder portion 31 through the bottom portion 23 of the outer cylinder portion 11, and a protrusion portion 41B protruding in a direction substantially perpendicular to the axial direction is formed at the tip end portion in the axial direction. On the base end portion side of the outer cylinder portion 11, there is a knob portion 43 formed at the base end portion in the axial direction of the shaft portion 41.

[0022] The outer cylinder portion 11 has a substantially bottomed cylindrical shape, with a partition portion 12 formed inside the cylinder. The inside of the cylinder is vertically partitioned by the partition portion 12, and a bottom portion 13 is formed at the base end portion (lower end portion) in the vertical direction (axial direction, longitudinal direction). The outer cylinder portion 11 is an outer packaging cylinder made of resin (for example, a hard resin such as polypropylene), etc., and its outer surface side is the design surface, and its inner diameter is constant over the entire length in the vertical direction.

[0023] The partition portion 12 is formed by extending from the inner peripheral surface of the outer cylinder portion 11 toward the radial center side, that is, horizontally in a direction perpendicular to the vertical direction inside the outer cylinder portion 11, and partitions the inside of the outer cylinder portion 11 vertically. As long as it has the strength to receive the lip cream LB and the bottomed short cylindrical tray portion 15 that holds it, its shape is not particularly limited. For example, in the figure, it is formed in a substantially disk shape with a circular hole in the center, and the threaded rod portion 21 is inserted therethrough. However, when implementing the present invention, it is not limited to an integral form such as a disk shape, and a divided form may also be used. The bottom portion 13 is formed in a substantially disk shape at the base end portion (lower end portion) in the vertical direction of the outer cylinder portion 11, has a circular hole in the center, and the shaft portion 41 is inserted therethrough.

[0024] Further, on the upper inner peripheral side surface (radially inner side surface, inner peripheral side wall surface) of the partition wall portion 12 of the outer cylinder portion 11, a plurality of protruding strips 11a extending in the vertical direction are formed at predetermined intervals in the circumferential direction. For example, 2 to 4 strips are formed at equal intervals in the circumferential direction. These protruding strips 11a are rib-shaped ones that slightly protrude radially inward from the inner peripheral surface of the outer cylinder portion 11 and extend in the vertical direction, and are fitted with a vertical groove portion (not shown) formed on the outer peripheral side surface of the tray portion 15 described later, and guide the tray portion 15 to move in the axial direction with respect to the screw rod portion 21 without rotating.

[0025] The cap 3 is in the shape of a capped cylinder and is removably attached to the outer cylinder portion 11 of the container body 2, and can close the upper opening of the outer cylinder portion 11. In the attached state of the cap 3, the outer peripheral surfaces of the cap 3 and the container body 2 are substantially flush. Similar to a known lip cream container, the upper part of the outer cylinder portion 11 is formed with a reduced diameter and a thinner wall than the lower part, and a stepped surface 11b corresponding to the thickness of the side surface of the cap 3 is formed on its outer peripheral surface, and the cap 3 can be freely fitted (externally fitted) flush with the outer cylinder portion 11. A rib 11b protruding radially outward from the outer peripheral surface is provided along the circumferential direction on the upper side of the stepped surface at the upper part of the outer cylinder portion 11. Thus, when the cap 3 is externally fitted to the outer cylinder portion 11 constituting the container body 2, the rib 11b is in close contact with the inner peripheral surface of the cap 3, resulting in a tight fit, enhancing the sealing performance and preventing the lip cream LB from drying. Although not shown, by providing a rib protruding radially inward along the circumferential direction on the cap 3 side, when the cap 3 is externally fitted to the outer cylinder portion 11 constituting the container body 2, the rib is in close contact with the outer peripheral surface of the outer cylinder portion 11, resulting in a tight fit, enhancing the sealing performance and preventing the lip cream LB from drying.

[0026] Inside the outer cylinder portion 11, the screw rod portion 21 passes through the central hole of the partition wall portion 12, and the tray portion 15 is screwed onto the screw rod portion 21 above the partition wall portion 12. The screw rod portion 21 is in a shaft shape (rod shape), has a male screw portion with a male screw threaded on the outer peripheral side surface (the surface on the radially outer side, the outer peripheral side wall surface), and screw grooves and screw ridges formed in a spiral shape on the outer peripheral side surface, and is composed of a shaft portion 21A into which the tray portion 15 is screwed, and a flange portion 21B integrally formed at the base end portion in the axial direction of the shaft portion 21A.

[0027] In this screw rod portion 21, the shaft portion 21A thereof penetrates the partition wall portion 12, that is, in the figure, it is inserted into the central circular hole of the partition wall portion 12, and a substantially disk-shaped flange portion 21B is integrally formed at the base end portion in the axial direction of the shaft portion 21A below the partition wall portion 12 inside the cylinder of the outer cylinder portion 11, and an inner cylinder portion 31 disposed below the flange portion 21B inside the cylinder of the outer cylinder portion 11 is joined to the flange portion 21B.

[0028] The tray portion 15 is a bottomed short cylindrical shape that houses and holds the lip cream LB, and in the figure, it is composed of a dish portion 15a of a bottomed cylindrical outer cylinder and an insertion portion 15b of an inner cylinder formed at the center thereof. A female screw is threaded on the inner peripheral side surface of the insertion portion 15b, and it has a female screw portion with screw grooves and screw ridges formed in a spiral shape on the inner peripheral side surface. Note that the tray portion 15 has a substantially circular outer shape in its cross section. The inner peripheral surface of the dish portion 15a contacts the outer peripheral surface of the lower side of the lip cream LB housed therein, the upper surface of the bottom wall portion of the dish portion 15a contacts the bottom surface (lower surface) of the lip cream LB, and the lower surface (bottom surface) of the bottom wall portion of the dish portion 15a is in contact with the upper surface of the partition wall portion 12 formed inside the cylinder of the outer cylinder portion 11. Further, on the outer peripheral side surface of the tray portion 15, corresponding to the protrusion portion 11a formed on the inner peripheral side surface above the partition wall portion 12 of the outer cylinder portion 11, a plurality of vertical groove portions (guide holes) (not shown) extending in the vertical direction are formed at predetermined intervals in the circumferential direction. For example, 2 to 4 are formed at equal intervals in the circumferential direction.

[0029] The screw rod portion 21 and the tray portion 15 are such that the shaft portion 21A of the screw rod portion 21 is passed through the cylindrical hole of the insertion portion 15b of the tray portion 15, and the female screw portion formed on the inner peripheral side surface of the insertion portion 15b and the male screw portion formed on the outer peripheral side surface of the shaft portion 21A of the screw rod portion 21 are screwed together, whereby the tray portion 15 is attached to the screw rod portion 21. That is, the tray portion 15 is movably screwed in the axial direction with respect to the shaft portion 21A of the screw rod portion 21. Further, the tray portion 15 has a ridge portion 11a formed on the inner peripheral side surface of the outer cylinder portion 11 fitted into a longitudinal groove portion (not shown) formed on the outer peripheral side surface thereof. Thus, with respect to the rotation of the screw rod portion 21, the tray portion 15 screwed thereto moves in the axial direction on the screw rod portion 21 without rotating (spinning). That is, inside the outer cylinder portion 11, the tray portion 15 holding the lip cream LB is screwed to the screw rod portion 21, and movement in the vertical direction along the axis of the screw rod portion 21 is permitted, but rotation in the circumferential direction is restricted.

[0030] In the figure, the tip side in the axial direction of the screw rod portion 21 does not have screw grooves or threads, and the rotation of the knob portion 43 prevents the tray portion 15 from coming off the screw rod portion 21. That is, when the screw rod portion 21 rotates in conjunction with the rotation of the knob portion 43, when the tray portion 15 screwed to the screw rod portion 21 moves in the axial direction of the screw rod portion 21, the movement of the tray portion 15 ends when it reaches the tip of the female screw portion, and the tray portion 15 is prevented from protruding from the tip of the outer cylinder portion 11. The screw rod portion 21 and the tray portion 15 are also usually formed of a resin (for example, a hard resin such as polypropylene).

[0031] Furthermore, inside the outer cylinder portion 11, below the partition portion 12, an inner cylinder portion 31 joined to a flange portion 21B formed at the base end portion in the axial direction of the shaft portion 21A of the screw rod portion 21 is disposed, and a shaft portion 41 is inserted into the inner cylinder portion 31. The inner cylinder part 31 is formed in a substantially cylindrical shape with a smaller diameter than the outer cylinder part 11, and is joined to a flange part 21B formed at the base end part in the axial direction of the screw rod part 21. It is rotatably disposed below the inner part of the outer cylinder part 11 between the partition part 12 and the bottom part 13, and has a communication space including a fitting part 32 into which a protrusion part 41B of the shaft part 41 fits, a free rotation part 33 provided above the fitting part 32 to allow free rotation of the protrusion part 41B of the shaft part 41, and a shaft hole part 34 through which the shaft part 41 passes.

[0032] That is, the inner cylinder part 31 has a substantially short cylindrical shape with a hollow provided penetrating in the axial direction. At the upper part on the joining side to the flange part 21B, it is recessed in a substantially concave shape, and a free rotation part 33 which is a space allowing free rotation of a protrusion part 41B formed at the tip part in the axial direction of the shaft part 41 is formed. Also, below the free rotation part 33, a fitting part 32 into which the protrusion part 41B of the shaft part 41 fits is recessed in a direction substantially perpendicular to the axial direction, and further, a shaft hole part 34 through which the shaft part 41 passes is formed at the center. The outer diameter of the inner cylinder part 31 is constant over the entire length in the vertical direction, but the inner diameter changes, and the inner diameter increases from the lower side to the upper side.

[0033] The free rotation part 33 is recessed in the axial direction at the upper part of the inner cylinder part 31 to be formed in a substantially concave shape, and has a space shape allowing a protrusion part 41B extending in a direction substantially perpendicular to the axial direction at the tip part of the shaft part 41 to rotate around the axis O of the shaft-like part 41A. Also, the substantially concave free rotation part 33 has a bottom surface part 32a with a predetermined shape for the inserted protrusion part 41B to catch. From this, in a state where the protrusion part 41B inserted into the free rotation part 33 engages with the bottom surface part 33a, the shaft part 41 and the grip part 43 integrated with its base end part are prevented from descending. The fitting part 32 is a groove part recessed in a direction substantially perpendicular to the axial direction of the inner cylinder part 31 below the free rotation part 33, and has a shape into which the protrusion part 41B of the shaft part 41 fits.

[0034] Accordingly, in the inner cylinder portion 31 into which the shaft portion 41 is inserted, the protrusion 41B formed at the tip of the shaft portion 41 is adapted to enter the fitting portion 32 or the idle rotation portion 33, and the shaft portion 41 is rotatably mounted with respect to the inner cylinder portion 31. That is, the protrusion 41B of the shaft portion 41 enters the fitting portion 32 or the idle rotation portion 33, and the shaft portion 41 is in a state of being prevented from coming off the inner cylinder portion 31. When the protrusion 41B of the shaft portion 41 rises and enters the idle rotation portion 33, even if the shaft portion 41 rotates, the protrusion 41B only idles within the idle rotation portion 33 and does not rotate integrally with the inner cylinder portion 31. On the other hand, when it descends and fits into the fitting portion 32, the shaft portion 41 engages with and integrates with the inner cylinder portion 31, and the inner cylinder portion 31 can rotate integrally with the shaft portion 41. Further, the inner cylinder portion 31 is joined to the flange portion 21B of the screw rod portion 21 on its annular upper surface. When the shaft portion 41 and the inner cylinder portion 31 rotate integrally in a state where the protrusion 41B of the shaft portion 41 and the fitting portion 32 of the inner cylinder portion 31 are fitted, the screw rod portion 21 also rotates integrally with them.

[0035] The shaft portion 41 is shaft-shaped, specifically, it consists of a shaft-shaped portion 41A having a substantially circular cross-sectional outer shape and a protrusion 41B integrally formed at the tip of the shaft-shaped portion 41A in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction. This shaft portion 41 penetrates the bottom portion 13 of the outer cylinder portion 11, and a knob portion 43 is integrally provided at its base end portion.

[0036] The knob portion 43 is disposed outside the bottom portion 13 on the base end side of the outer cylinder portion 11 and is substantially disk-shaped or has a top cylinder shape. Its outer diameter may be substantially the same as that of the outer cylinder portion 11, or may be slightly larger than the outer diameter of the outer cylinder portion 11 so that it is easy to pick up the knob portion 43 and pull it. Usually, vertical grooves or vertical linear portions extending vertically by knurling or the like are formed at predetermined intervals along the circumferential direction on the outer peripheral side surface thereof. As a result, the outer peripheral side surface of the knob portion 43 becomes uneven, making it easier to grip the outer peripheral side surface of the knob portion 43 with a finger, and it becomes easier to pick, push, pull, and rotate the knob portion 43, improving the operability.

[0037] And when this grip portion 43 is inserted into the idle rotation portion 33 formed at the upper part of the cylindrical portion 31 by the protrusion 41B of the shaft portion 41, it is close to the bottom portion 13 formed at the base end portion of the outer cylinder portion 11, and when the protrusion 41B of the shaft portion 41 is inserted into the fitting portion 32 below the idle rotation portion 33 of the cylindrical portion 31, it is separated from the base bottom portion 13 of the outer cylinder portion 11. In other words, when the grip portion 43 is pushed toward the bottom portion 13 of the outer cylinder portion 11 to be close to the bottom portion 13, the protrusion 41B of the shaft portion 41 is inserted into the idle rotation portion 33 formed at the upper part of the cylindrical portion 31, and when the grip portion 43 is pulled down in the direction of separating from the bottom portion 13 of the outer cylinder portion 11 while rotating the grip portion 43, the protrusion 41B of the shaft portion 41 is inserted into the fitting portion 32 below the idle rotation portion 33 of the cylindrical portion 31 and fits with the fitting portion 32 to be in an integral relationship with the inner cylinder portion 31.

[0038] In addition, inside the outer cylinder portion 11, a tray portion 15 for holding the lip cream LB, a screw rod portion 21 inserted through a hole at the center of the tray portion 15 and penetrating the partition portion 12 of the outer cylinder portion 11, an inner cylinder portion 31 joined and integrated with the screw rod portion 21, and a shaft portion 41 penetrating the bottom portion 13 of the outer cylinder portion 11 and inserted into the cylinder of the inner cylinder portion 31 are arranged coaxially with each other with the central axis O as a common axis.

[0039] In the lip cream container 1 as the payout container of this embodiment, the outer cylinder portion 11 constituting the container body 2 and the tray portion 15 screwed to the screw rod portion 21 above the partition portion 12 inside the cylinder and penetrating the partition portion 12 form an accommodation space for accommodating the lip cream LB which is a rod-shaped content. Therefore, the lip cream LB is accommodated in the accommodation space defined by the outer cylinder portion 11 and the tray portion 15 and held by the tray portion 15. That is, the lip cream LB is accommodated in the cylinder of the outer cylinder portion 11 so as to be payoutable (projectable) upward from the upper opening of the outer cylinder portion 11.

[0040] Note that the accommodation of the lip cream LB in the bottomed cylindrical tray portion 15 disposed above the partition portion 12 inside the outer cylinder portion 11 is performed by pouring the viscous fluid-like lip cream (viscous fluid-like cosmetic) LB from the upper opening of the outer cylinder portion 11, filling it, cooling it, and solidifying it. At this time, the rod-shaped lip cream (rod-shaped cosmetic) LB accommodated in the accommodation space defined by the outer cylinder portion 11 and the tray portion 15 has one end portion in its axial direction held (supported) by the bottom portion of the tray portion 15. Further, the screw rod portion 21 is located on the substantially center line of the rod-shaped lip cream LB accommodated in the accommodation space defined by the outer cylinder portion 11 and the tray portion 15.

[0041] Thus, the lip cream container 1 as the dispensing container of the present embodiment has a partition portion 12 formed inside the cylinder to partition the upper and lower portions thereof, an outer cylinder portion 11 having a bottom portion 13 formed at one end portion in the vertical direction, a screw rod portion 21 disposed inside the outer cylinder portion 11, penetrating the partition portion 12, and having a flange portion 21B formed at the base end portion in the axial direction, a tray portion 15 disposed above the partition portion 12 inside the outer cylinder portion 11, screwed to the screw rod portion 21, and holding the lip cream LB as a rod-shaped content, an inner cylinder portion 31 disposed below the partition portion 12 inside the outer cylinder portion 11 and joined and integrated with the screw rod portion 21, a shaft portion 41 inserted into the inner cylinder portion 31 and having a protrusion portion 41B protruding in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction formed at the tip end portion in the axial direction and penetrating the bottom portion 13 on the base end portion side in the axial direction, and a knob portion 43 integrated with the base end portion in the axial direction of the shaft portion 41. The inner cylinder portion 31 has a fitting portion 32 in which the protrusion portion 41B of the shaft portion 41 is fitted, and a free rotation portion 33 provided above the fitting portion 32 and allowing free rotation of the protrusion portion 41B of the shaft portion 41.

[0042] According to the lip cream container 1 of this embodiment, the inner cylinder part 31 is joined to the flange part 21B formed at the base end part in the axial direction of the screw rod part 21. Further, inside the inner cylinder part 31, a fitting part 32 into which the protruding part 41B of the shaft part 41 having the protruding part 41B formed at the tip part and the knob part 43 formed at the base end part is fitted, and a free rotation part 33 that allows the free rotation of the protruding part 41B above the fitting part 32 are formed. The shaft part 41 integrated with the knob part 43 is inserted into the inner cylinder part 31, and the protruding part 41B at the tip part of the shaft part 41 can be inserted (moved freely) into the fitting part 32 and the free rotation part 33 inside the inner cylinder part 31.

[0043] Therefore, when the knob part 43 disposed on the base end part side of the outer cylinder part 11 is pushed toward the bottom part 13 side of the base end part of the outer cylinder part 11, the protruding part 41B at the tip part of the shaft part 41 formed integrally with the knob part 43 and inserted into the cylinder of the inner cylinder part 31 is inserted into the free rotation part 33. At this time, when the knob part 43 is rotated and the protruding part 41B is brought into contact with the bottom part 33a of the free rotation part 33, the knob part 43 is rotatably fixed in a state of being close to the bottom part 13 side. For this reason, since the protruding part 41B is inserted into the free rotation part 33 in a state where the knob part 43 is close to the bottom part 13 side, even if the knob part 43 rotates, the protruding part 41B at the tip part of the shaft part 41 formed integrally with the knob part 43 and inserted into the inner cylinder part 31 rotates within the free rotation part 33, and the inner cylinder part 31 does not rotate, and the screw rod part 21 joined thereto does not rotate. Thus, it is possible to prevent the saucer part 15 screwed to the screw rod part 21 and the lip cream LB accommodated therein from moving on the screw rod part 21 and being drawn out from the outer cylinder part 11.

[0044] On the other hand, while pulling down the knob portion 43 disposed on the proximal end side of the outer cylinder portion 11 in a direction away from the bottom portion 13 while pinching and rotating the knob portion 43 so that the protrusion portion 41B at the tip of the shaft portion 41 inserted into the inner cylinder portion 31 formed integrally with the knob portion 43 descends to the fitting portion 32 side formed below the idle rotation portion 33 and fits into the fitting portion 32, when the knob portion 43 is rotated in a state where the protrusion portion 41B is fitted into the fitting portion 32 formed below the idle rotation portion 33, the inner cylinder portion 31 rotates integrally with the shaft portion 41 integrated with the knob portion 43. Further, the screw rod portion 21 joined and integrated with the inner cylinder portion 31 by the flange portion 21B also rotates. As a result, the saucer portion 15 screwed to the screw rod portion 21 and the lip cream LB accommodated therein move up or down on the screw rod portion 21, and the lip cream LB can be freely drawn out from the outer cylinder portion 11.

[0045] As described above, according to the lip cream container 1 as the feeding container of the present embodiment, the screw rod portion 21 to which the saucer portion 15 holding the lip cream LB as a rod-shaped content is screwed is connectable to the knob portion 43 disposed on the proximal end side of the outer cylinder portion 11 and the shaft portion 41 integrated therewith via the inner cylinder portion 31. In the inner cylinder portion 31, there are a fitting portion 32 into which the protrusion portion 41B of the shaft portion 41 fits and an idle rotation portion 33 provided above the fitting portion 32 that allows the protrusion portion 41B to rotate idly.

[0046] Therefore, in a state where the knob portion 43 disposed on the proximal end side of the outer cylinder portion 11 is pushed toward the bottom portion 13 and approaches and the protrusion portion 41B of the shaft portion 41 is inserted into the idle rotation portion 33 of the inner cylinder portion 31, even if the knob portion 43 rotates, the shaft portion 41 rotates idly within the inner cylinder portion 31 and the inner cylinder portion 31 does not rotate integrally. As a result, the screw rod portion 21 joined and integrated with the inner cylinder portion 32 also does not rotate, and the saucer portion 15 screwed to the screw rod portion 21 and holding the lip cream LB does not move on the screw rod portion 21 along the axial direction of the screw rod portion 21. Therefore, even if the knob portion 43 rotates accidentally when the lip cream container 1 is carried in a pocket, a pouch, or the like, the lip cream LB is not drawn out from the outer cylinder portion 11 and does not adhere to the cap 3 attached to the outer cylinder portion 11.

[0047] On the other hand, while pulling down by gripping the grip portion 43 disposed on the base end portion side of the outer cylinder portion 11 so that the protrusion 41B of the shaft portion 41 is inserted into the fitting portion 32 below the idle rotation portion 33 of the inner cylinder portion 31 and rotating it, when the protrusion 41B of the shaft portion 41 is fitted into the fitting portion 32, when the grip portion 43 rotates, the inner cylinder portion 31 rotates integrally with the shaft portion 41. Further, the screw rod portion 21 joined and integrated with the inner cylinder portion 31 also rotates integrally, and the tray portion 15 that is screwed to the screw rod portion 21 and holds the lip cream LB moves along the axial direction of the screw rod portion 21 on the screw rod portion 21. From this, the lip cream LB can be freely drawn out from the outer cylinder portion 11, and the lip cream LB can be applied.

[0048] That is, in the lip cream container 1 of the present embodiment, on the upper side inside the outer cylinder portion 11, a screw rod portion 21 and a tray portion 15 screwed to the screw rod portion 21 are provided. Also, on the lower side inside the outer cylinder portion 11, an inner cylinder portion 31 into which a shaft portion 41 provided with a grip portion 43 disposed on the outside of the outer cylinder portion 11 at the base end portion is inserted is provided, and the screw rod portion 21 is joined and integrated with the inner cylinder portion 31 by a flange portion 21B formed at the base end portion in its axial direction. And the inner cylinder portion 31 into which the shaft portion 41 is inserted is provided with an idle rotation portion 33 that allows the idle rotation of the protrusion 41B formed in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the shaft portion 41, and a fitting portion 32 into which the protrusion 41B fits below the idle rotation portion 33.

[0049] Therefore, when the grip portion 43 is pushed toward the bottom portion 31 side and the protrusion 41B of the shaft portion 41 integrated with the grip portion 43 enters the idle rotation portion 33 of the cylindrical portion 31, even if the grip portion 43 rotates erroneously, the shaft portion 41 idles within the cylindrical portion 31 and the cylindrical portion 31 does not rotate. Thus, the screw rod portion 21 joined integrally to the cylindrical portion 31 by the flange portion 21B does not rotate, so the tray portion 15 screwed to the screw rod portion 21 does not rise either, and the situation where the lip cream LB held by the tray portion 15 is fed out is prevented.

[0050] On one hand, while rotating the knob portion 43 downward while pulling it downward so that the protrusion 41B of the shaft portion 41 is inserted into the fitting portion 32 provided below the idle rotation portion 33 of the inner cylinder portion 31, the protrusion 41B of the shaft portion 41 is lowered and fitted into the fitting portion 32. When the knob portion 43 is rotated in this state, the shaft portion 41 formed at the base end portion of the knob portion 43 and the cylindrical portion 31 rotate integrally, and further, the screw rod portion 21 joined and integrated with the cylindrical portion 31 also rotates. That is, the rotation of the knob portion 43 is transmitted to the screw rod portion 21, and the tray portion 15 screwed to the screw rod portion 21 moves (ascends and descends) on the screw rod portion 21 in the axial direction thereof due to the rotation of the screw rod portion 21. Therefore, the forward and backward movement of the lip cream LB held by the tray portion 15 becomes possible.

[0051] That is, when the knob portion 43 is rotated in a specific direction while the knob portion 43 is pulled downward, the rotation of the shaft portion 41 integrated with the knob portion 43 is transmitted to the cylindrical portion 31, and the cylindrical portion 31 rotates in the same direction inside the cylinder of the outer cylinder portion 11. Further, the screw rod portion 21 joined and integrated with the cylindrical portion 31 inside the cylinder of the outer cylinder portion 11 rotates in the same direction, and due to this rotation, the tray portion 15 screwed to the screw rod portion 21 inside the cylinder of the outer cylinder portion 11 moves on the screw rod portion 21 toward the tip end portion in the axial direction thereof. Therefore, the lip cream LB accommodated in the accommodation space defined by the outer cylinder portion 11 and the tray portion 15 and having one end portion in the longitudinal direction supported by the tray portion 15 can be drawn out from the upper opening of the outer cylinder portion 11 and projected from the tip end portion of the outer cylinder portion 11 for use in application. Also, when the knob portion 43 is rotated reversely while the knob portion 42 is pulled downward, the shaft portion 41, the cylindrical portion 31, and the screw rod portion 21 also rotate reversely, and due to this rotation, the tray portion 15 and the lip cream LB held thereby move in the opposite direction on the screw rod portion 21, that is, toward the base end portion. Therefore, the drawn-out lip cream LB can be retracted into the outer cylinder portion 11. Note that the tray portion 15 screwed to the screw rod portion 21 is guided by the protrusion 11a of the outer cylinder portion 11 because the longitudinal groove portion (not shown) provided on the outer peripheral surface thereof engages with the protrusion 11a provided on the inner peripheral surface of the outer cylinder portion 11. Therefore, while the rotation of the tray portion 15 around its axis with respect to the screw rod portion 21 is restricted, the tray portion 15 moves (ascends and descends) along the axial direction on the screw rod portion 21 without rotating itself. Therefore, by rotating the grip portion 43 in the lowered state, the lip cream LB can be freely extended (retracted) from the container body 2.

[0052] In the lip cream container 1 of the present embodiment, when the grip portion 43 is pushed upward and rotated, and the protrusion 41B of the shaft portion 41 integrated with the grip portion 43 enters the idle portion 33 of the cylindrical portion 31 and the protrusion 41B engages with the bottom surface portion 33a, the shaft portion 41 and the grip portion 43 integrated with the base end portion thereof are configured not to descend. And when the grip portion 43 is in the raised state, even if the grip portion 43 rotates unintentionally, the shaft portion 41 integrated with the grip portion 43 idles within the cylindrical portion 31, so that the rotation of the cylindrical portion 31 and the screw rod portion 21 joined thereto is prevented, and the saucer portion 15 screwed to the screw rod portion 21 and the lip cream LB held thereon are prevented from moving in the axial direction on the screw rod portion 21. That is, even if the grip portion 43 rotates unintentionally, the transmission of the rotation to the cylindrical portion 31 and the screw rod portion 21 is suppressed, and the lip cream LB held by the saucer portion 15 screwed to the screw rod portion 21 is prevented from being unintentionally extended (projected) from the outer cylinder portion 11. Therefore, even if the grip portion 43 rotates unintentionally when the lip cream container 1 is placed in a pocket, a pouch, or the like, the extension of the lip cream LB is prevented. Thus, it is possible to prevent the lip cream LB from adhering to the cap 3 and deforming its shape, maintain the usability of the lip cream LB, and it is difficult to cause the trouble of cleaning the cap 3 because the lip cream LB does not adhere to the cap 3.

[0053] On the other hand, when using the lip cream LB, when the protrusion 41B of the shaft portion 41 is lowered from the idle portion 33 of the cylindrical portion 31 and the knob portion 43 is rotated downward while being pulled downward so as to enter the fitting portion 32, and the knob portion 43 is rotated in a state where the protrusion 41B of the shaft portion 41 is fitted into the fitting portion 32 of the cylindrical portion 31, the protrusion 41B of the shaft portion 41 and the cylindrical portion 31 rotate integrally, and further, the screw rod portion 21 integrated with the cylindrical portion 31 also rotates integrally. As a result, the saucer portion 15 screwed to the screw rod portion 21 and the lip cream LB held thereon move in the axial direction on the screw rod portion 21. That is, the rotation of the knob portion 43 is transmitted to the cylindrical portion 31 and the screw rod portion 21, and the lip cream LB held by the saucer portion 15 screwed to the screw rod portion 21 can be freely extended (freely projected and retracted) from the outer cylinder portion 11. That is, when using the lip cream LB, the lip cream LB is projected from the upper opening of the outer cylinder portion 11 to a position suitable for use by rotating it in a specific direction while pulling the knob portion 43 in a direction away from the bottom portion 13 of the outer cylinder portion 11. After use, the lip cream LB is accommodated in the outer cylinder portion 11 by rotating it in the opposite direction while keeping the knob portion 43 pushed down.

[0054] Thus, according to the lip cream container 1 according to the present embodiment, the lip cream LB is not dispensed unless the knob portion 43 is rotated while being pulled downward. Even if an external force is applied when the lip cream container 1 is placed in a pocket, a pouch, or the like, it is difficult for the knob portion 43 to be pulled downward, and the lip cream LB cannot be freely extended unless the knob portion 43 is intentionally pulled out while being rotated.

[0055] Therefore, it is possible to prevent a situation where the lip cream LB is automatically dispensed (projected) from the container body 2 when placed in a pocket, a pouch, or the like, and it is possible to prevent a situation where the lip cream LB adheres to the cap 3 and the lip cream LB is wasted. In addition, by preventing the wasteful consumption and disposal of the lip cream LB, the frequency of replacing the lip cream container 1 formed of plastic can be reduced, which also contributes to reducing the amount of plastic used.

[0056] And according to the lip cream container 1 according to the present embodiment, by operating the knob portion 43 while pushing or pulling it, the feeding (lifting, protruding and retracting) of the lip cream LB and the prevention of feeding can be switched, and the switching operation between when the lip cream LB is in use and when it is not in use can be easily performed. In particular, similar to the conventional lip cream container, the feeding operation of the lip cream LB is the rotation of the knob portion 43, and by pushing or pulling the knob portion 43, the feeding and the prevention of feeding of the lip cream LB can be switched, so it is easy for the user to understand. That is, since the feeding operation of the lip cream LB is the same as that of a known lip cream container, it is easy to understand, and by a simple operation of pushing or pulling the knob portion 43 with a light force, the feeding and the prevention of feeding of the lip cream LB can be switched.

[0057] Furthermore, since the switching between the feeding and the prevention of feeding of the lip cream LB is an operation of the knob portion 43, it can be suppressed to about the same outer size as that of a commercially available conventional lip cream container. That is, according to the lip cream container 1 according to the present embodiment, like the conventional lip cream container, it has a smart appearance, does not take up space for storage and accommodation, and can be easily carried around by putting it in a pocket of clothes, a makeup port, a pen case, etc.

[0058] Note that, similar to a known lip cream container, when it is not in use, the cap 3 is externally fitted and attached to the container body 2, and the lip cream LB is covered by the cap 3 to prevent the lip cream LB from drying out. In particular, in the lip cream container 1 of the present embodiment, when the knob portion 43 is pushed toward the bottom portion 13 side, the feeding of the lip cream LB from the outer cylinder portion 11 is prevented, so it is difficult for the lip cream LB to adhere to the cap 3, and thus the cap 3 can always be removed with a light force, and it is also difficult to cause the trouble of removing the lip cream LB adhering to the cap 3.

[0059] As described above, the dispensing container 1 of the present embodiment includes an outer cylinder portion 11 provided with a partition portion 12 that divides the inside of the cylinder into upper and lower parts, a screw rod portion 21 disposed inside the cylinder of the outer cylinder portion 11 and penetrating the partition portion 12, a tray portion 15 disposed above the partition portion 12 inside the cylinder of the outer cylinder portion 11, screwed onto the screw rod portion 12, and holding a lip cream LB as a rod-shaped content, an inner cylinder portion 31 disposed below the partition portion 12 inside the cylinder of the outer cylinder portion 11 and integrated with the screw rod portion 21, a shaft portion 41 inserted into the cylinder of the inner cylinder portion 31 and having a protrusion portion 41B protruding in a direction substantially perpendicular to the axial direction at the tip, and a grip portion 43 integrated with the base end portion of the shaft portion 41 in the axial direction and disposed on the base end portion side of the outer cylinder portion 11. The inner cylinder portion 31 has a fitting portion 32 into which the protrusion portion 41B of the shaft portion 41 is fitted, and a free rotation portion 33 provided above the fitting portion 32 and allowing free rotation of the protrusion portion 41 of the shaft portion 41.

[0060] That is, in the dispensing container 1 of the present embodiment, a tray portion 15 that holds a lip cream LB as a rod-shaped content is screwed above the partition portion 12 and a screw rod portion 21 penetrating the partition portion 12 is disposed inside the cylinder of the outer cylinder portion 11 in which the partition portion 12 that divides the inside of the cylinder into upper and lower parts is formed. The inner cylinder portion 31 is integrated with the base end portion in the axial direction of the screw rod portion 21. Further, a shaft portion 41 having a protrusion portion 41B protruding in a direction substantially perpendicular to the axial direction at the tip is inserted into the cylinder of the inner cylinder portion 31, and a grip portion 43 disposed on the base end portion side of the outer cylinder portion 11 is integrated with the base end portion in the axial direction of the shaft portion 41. The inner cylinder portion 31 has a fitting portion 32 into which the protrusion portion 41B of the shaft portion 41 is fitted, and a free rotation portion 42 provided above the fitting portion 32 and allowing free rotation of the protrusion portion 41.

[0061] Thus, when the knob portion 43 disposed on the proximal end side of the outer cylinder portion 11 is pushed upward and the protrusion 41B of the shaft portion 41 integrated with the knob portion 43 enters the idle rotation portion 33 provided above the fitting portion 32 of the inner cylinder portion 31, even if the knob portion 43 rotates, the protrusion 41B of the shaft portion 41 integrated with the knob portion 43 idles within the idle rotation portion 33 of the inner cylinder portion 31. Therefore, the inner cylinder portion 31 and the screw rod portion 21 joined thereto do not rotate, and the saucer portion 15 that holds the lip cream LB as a rod-shaped content and is screwed to the screw rod portion 21 does not move along the axial direction of the screw rod portion 21 on the screw rod portion 21, and the lip cream LB is not fed out from the outer cylinder portion 11.

[0062] On the other hand, when the knob portion 43 disposed on the proximal end side of the outer cylinder portion 11 is pulled downward and the protrusion 41B of the shaft portion 41 integrated with the knob portion 43 is fitted into the fitting portion 32 provided below the idle rotation portion 33 of the inner cylinder portion 31, when the knob portion 43 rotates, the shaft portion 41 and the inner cylinder portion 31 rotate integrally. Further, the screw rod portion 21 integrated with the inner cylinder portion 31 also rotates, and the saucer portion 15 that is screwed to the screw rod portion 1 and holds the lip cream LB becomes movable along the axial direction of the screw rod portion 21 on the screw rod portion 21, and the lip cream LB can be freely fed out from the outer cylinder portion 11.

[0063] Therefore, when the knob portion 43 disposed on the proximal end side of the outer cylinder portion 11 is pushed upward, the protrusion 41B of the shaft portion 41 is inserted into the idle rotation portion 33 of the inner cylinder portion 31, and even if the knob portion 43 rotates, the protrusion 41B of the shaft portion 41 idles in the idle rotation portion 33 of the inner cylinder portion 31, and the rotation of the knob portion 43 is not transmitted to the inner cylinder portion 31 and the screw rod portion 21. Therefore, even if the knob portion 43 rotates unintentionally, the situation where the lip cream LB is fed out is prevented. Also, during use, when the knob portion 43 is pulled down while being rotated to fit the protrusion 41B of the shaft portion 41 into the fitting portion 32 of the inner cylinder portion 31, the rotation of the knob portion 43 causes the shaft portion 41 and the inner cylinder portion 31 to rotate integrally, and the screw rod portion 21 integrated with the inner cylinder portion 31 also rotates. The tray portion 15 that holds the lip cream LB and is screwed onto the screw rod portion 21 can move freely along the axial direction of the screw rod portion 21, so that the lip cream LB can be fed out freely. In this way, the lip cream LB cannot be fed out freely unless the knob portion 43 is intentionally pinched and pulled down, and it is possible to prevent the lip cream LB from being fed out unintentionally.

[0064] In addition, when implementing the present invention, the inner cylinder portion 31 and the outer cylinder portion 11 are not limited to being cylindrical with a substantially new circular (perfect circle) cross-section, and may be cylindrical with an elliptical (oval) cross-section, or may be a polygonal cylinder with a cross-section that is a polygon such as a triangle or a quadrilateral, that is, a non-circular polygon.

[0065] By the way, in the above embodiment, an example of a lip cream container that houses the lip cream LB as a feeding container has been described. However, when implementing the present invention, what is housed in the feeding container is not limited to the axial (rod-shaped, cylindrical, columnar, etc.) lip cream LB, and any solid material that can be applied may be used, such as axial (rod-shaped, cylindrical, columnar, etc.) lipsticks, eyeshadows, concealers, and other cosmetics, crayons, adhesives, drugs, etc. That is, the feeding container of the present invention can be applied to containers that house axial (stick-shaped) lip creams, lipsticks, eyeshadows, concealers, crayons, adhesives, drugs, etc.
