DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0011] Next, the pouring container of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings showing an example of a container with a measuring cap. In the following description, the left-right direction in FIG. 1(a) is referred to as the "lateral direction" and the up-down direction is referred to as the "axial direction." [Example]

[0012] In Figure 1, A is a container body having a nozzle 1, B is a thin covering member attached to the outer periphery of the nozzle 1 of the container body A, and C is a measuring cap that is screwed onto the nozzle 1 of the container body A with the covering member B interposed therebetween. The container body A and the measuring cap C are molded from a PET (polyethylene terephthalate) material, and the covering member B is molded from a material such as PE (polyethylene) or PP (polypropylene).

[0013] As shown in Figure 1, the container body A is formed with an upper nozzle 1, a ring-shaped inclined bottom wall 2 that tapers diagonally downward from the lower end of the inner circumference of the nozzle 1 and has an outlet 2a opening inward, a bottomed body 3 that is connected downward from the outlet 2a and stores the liquid content inside, and an outlet tube 5 that extends upward from the outlet 2a in the inclined bottom wall 2 and has a slit 4 cut out that connects to the outlet 2a within a predetermined range. As shown in Figure 2, a male threaded portion 6 is screwed into the upper outer periphery of the nozzle portion 1, and a neck ring 7 is attached to the lower portion. A predetermined area of ​​the neck ring 7 is cut out to provide an intermittent portion 7a, and multiple rotation stop projections 8 are arranged at intervals on either end side of the neck ring 7 where at least the intermittent portion 7a is located (in this embodiment, the left side as viewed in Figure 2).

[0014] As shown in Figure 2, the covering member B comprises a ring-shaped upper wall portion 10 that covers the upper end surface of the nozzle portion 1 of the container body A, an upper outer peripheral wall portion 11 that hangs down from the outer edge of the upper wall portion 10 and covers the upper outer periphery of the nozzle portion 1, and a lower outer peripheral wall portion 13 that is connected to the lower outer end of the upper outer peripheral wall portion 11, has a ring-shaped stepped wall portion 12 at its top, and covers the outer periphery of the neck ring 7, and the upper outer peripheral wall portion 11 has a covering thread protrusion 14 whose inner periphery engages with and covers the shape of the male thread portion 6, and which bulges outward to form a thread. The lower outer peripheral wall portion 13 has a cutout portion 13a cut out at the position of the intermittent portion 7a of the neck ring 7, and a finger hook 15 is connected to one of the ends of the cutout portion 13a (in this embodiment, the right side as viewed in Figure 2).On the inner circumference of the lower outer peripheral wall portion 13 excluding the cutout portion 13a, there are arranged rotation stopper portions 16 spaced apart in about two locations, which engage with the rotation stopper protrusions 8 of the container body A and stop the rotation of the covering member B. Of course, the rotation stopper protrusions 8 and the rotation stopper portions 16 may also be formed around the entire circumference of the neck ring 7 and the lower outer peripheral wall portion 13 (excluding the cutout portion 13a). In addition, the covering member B is provided with a weakened portion 17 formed of a breakable thin wall that starts from the finger hook 15 side of the cutout portion 13a of the stepped wall portion 12 and ends up extending spirally along the lower part of the cover screw convex portion 14 of the upper outer peripheral wall portion 11, and the finger hook 15 and the weakened portion 17 form a separation mechanism.

[0015] As shown in Figure 1, the measuring cap C comprises a bottomed measuring section 20 for measuring the liquid content, a measuring dispensing tube 21 that hangs down from the opening of the measuring section 20 and whose tip fits between the inner circumference of the nozzle 1 of the container body A and the outer circumference of the dispensing tube 5 when the cap is closed, a ring-shaped annular wall 22 that is connected to the upper outer circumference of the measuring dispensing tube 21, an outer cylindrical wall 23 that hangs down from the outer circumference side of the annular wall 22 and whose inner circumference is attached to the outer circumference of the upper outer peripheral wall 11 of the covering member B when the cap is closed, and an inner cylindrical wall 24 that hangs down from the inner circumference side of the annular wall 22 and whose outer circumference is inserted into the upper end of the inner circumference of the nozzle 1 of the container body A when the cap is closed, and a female threaded section 25 that screws onto the outer circumference of the cover threaded protrusion 14 of the covering member B is threadedly provided on the inner circumference of the outer cylindrical wall 23. In this embodiment, a threaded portion (external threaded portion 6) is threaded onto the outer peripheral surface of the nozzle 1 of the container body A, and an internal threaded portion 25 is threaded onto the inner peripheral surface of the outer cylindrical wall 23 of the measuring cap C, but the threaded portion may also be threaded onto the inner peripheral surface of the nozzle 1 of the container body A, and the measuring cap C may be screwed onto the threaded portion on the inner peripheral surface of the nozzle 1. In this case, the covering member B may be attached so as to cover the threaded portion on the inner peripheral surface of the nozzle 1.

[0016] Next, the manner of use and the effects of this embodiment will be described. First, as shown in FIG. 2, the covering member B is placed over the nozzle portion 1 of the container body A and attached. At this time, the notch 13a of the lower outer wall 13 of the covering member B is aligned with the intermittent portion 7a of the neck ring 7 of the mouth 1 of the container body A, and the covering member B is then placed over it.Since the covering member B is softer than PET (polyethylene terephthalate) material and is configured to be somewhat deformable, it spreads slightly as it is lowered.Finally, the inner circumference of the cover screw convex portion 14 of the upper outer wall 11 of the covering member B fits into the male thread portion 6 of the mouth 1, and the rotation stopper portion 16 on the inner circumference of the lower outer wall 13 fits into the rotation stopper protrusion 8 of the mouth 1, and the covering member B is fixed and attached to the mouth 1 of the container body A.

[0017] Next, the liquid content is filled from the outlet 2a inside the dispensing tube 5 of the container body A, and then the measuring cap C is placed over the mouth tube portion 1 of the container body A and the covering member B from above, and the female thread portion 25 of the outer tube wall 23 of the measuring cap C is screwed onto the outer periphery of the cover screw protrusion portion 14 of the covering member B. In this case, since the covering member B fixed to the nozzle portion 1 of the container body A is softer than PET (polyethylene terephthalate) material and can be deformed to a certain extent, the surface of the covering screw convex portion 14 deforms when it comes into contact with the female screw portion 25 of the measuring cap C due to rotation when it is screwed into the cap, allowing it to rotate smoothly without resistance. As in the past, when the female thread portion 25 of the outer cylindrical wall 23 of the measuring cap C was screwed onto the male thread portion 6 of the mouth portion 1 of the container body A, when the PET materials were screwed together, they did not deform with each other, creating resistance and preventing smooth rotation, which hindered the screwing. However, in this embodiment, the surface of the cover screw convex portion 14 of the covering member B is deformed, so there is no resistance with the female thread portion 25 and the screwing can be done smoothly.

[0018] When the container body A is screwed onto the measuring cap C and closed, as shown in Figure 1, the female thread portion 25 of the outer cylindrical wall 23 of the measuring cap C is screwed onto the outer periphery of the covering screw protrusion 14 of the covering member B, and the inner cylindrical wall 24 of the measuring cap C is inserted into the inner periphery of the mouth portion 1 of the container body A. Since the covering member B is softer than PET (polyethylene terephthalate) material and can be deformed to a certain extent, the screw engagement between the cover screw protrusion 14 and the female screw portion 25 of the outer cylindrical wall 23 of the measuring cap C can be made to adhere more tightly by deformation of the surface of the covering member B.

[0019] When opening the measuring cap C by rotating it in the unscrewing direction to use the liquid content, the deformation of the surface of the covering member B allows the measuring cap C to be unscrewed smoothly without resistance. When the container body A with the measuring cap C removed is tilted with the tip of the dispensing tube 5 facing downward, the liquid content flows out from the dispensing outlet 2a of the inclined bottom wall 2, is guided to the dispensing tube 5, and is poured into the measuring dispensing tube 21 of the measuring cap C, whereby the liquid content can be measured together with the measuring section 20.

[0020] The liquid contents measured in the measuring cap C are guided into the measuring dispensing tube 21 by tilting the measuring cap C, and are dispensed to a predetermined location, after which the measuring cap C can be screwed back on to seal the container. At this time, the liquid remaining in the measuring cap C flows down the measuring dispensing tube 21, drops onto the upper surface of the inclined bottom wall 2 of the container body A, flows through the slit 4 into the dispensing outlet 2a, and is collected in the body 3.

[0021] When the liquid content in the dispensing container runs out and is to be refilled from a refill container, the liquid content is poured into the nozzle 1 of the open container body A, guided by the inclined bottom wall 2, flows through the slit 4 into the dispensing outlet 2a, and is stored in the body 3, making it easy to refill the liquid content.

[0022] When disposing of the dispensing container, remove the measuring cap C, and from the state shown in Figure 2, pinch the finger hook 15 of the covering member B with your fingers and pull it outward, causing the end of the weakened portion 17 on the finger hook 15 side of the cutout portion 13a to break.As the breaking of the weakened portion 17 progresses, the covering member B breaks, weakening the engagement covering the nozzle portion 1 of the container body A, allowing the covering member B to be pulled out and disposed of separately by material. [Example]

[0023] Next, a second embodiment in which the covering member B is changed will be described. In the following, the same parts as those in the first embodiment are given the same reference numerals, and the differences will be mainly explained.

[0024] In this embodiment, in Figure 3, A is a container body having a mouth portion 1, Ba is a covering member attached to the outer periphery of the mouth portion 1 of the container body A, and Ca is a measuring cap that is screwed onto the mouth portion 1 of the container body A via the covering member Ba.

[0025] As shown in FIG. 3, the upper wall 10 of the covering member Ba has an inner peripheral wall 30 that hangs down from the inner edge and is inserted into the upper inner peripheral portion of the nozzle portion 1, and an upper outer peripheral wall 11 that is provided on the outer periphery.

[0026] The annular wall 22 of the measuring cap Ca has an outer cylindrical wall 23 on the outer periphery side and an inner cylindrical wall 31 that is vertically disposed on the inner periphery side and whose outer periphery is inserted into the upper inner end of the inner wall portion 30 of the covering member Ba when the cap is closed.

[0027] Next, the effects of this embodiment will be described. After the covering member Ba is fitted over the nozzle 1 of the container body A, when the measuring cap Ca is closed as shown in Figure 3(b), the female thread portion 25 of the outer cylindrical wall 23 of the measuring cap Ca is screwed onto the outer periphery of the cover screw protrusion 14 of the covering member Ba, and the inner cylindrical wall 31 of the measuring cap Ca is inserted into the inner periphery of the inner wall portion 30 of the covering member Ba. When the lid is closed, the inner wall portion 30 of the covering member Ba is sandwiched between the inner circumference of the mouth portion 1 of the container body A and the inner cylindrical wall 31 of the measuring cap Ca, causing the inner wall portion 30 to deform, strengthening the adhesion between the inner wall portion 30 and the inner cylindrical wall 31 and providing better sealing than in the first embodiment. Furthermore, when the measuring cap Ca is opened or closed, the surface of the inner peripheral wall portion 30 is deformed, so that the measuring cap Ca can be screwed in smoothly without resistance. The other functions and effects are the same as those of the first embodiment. [Example]

[0028] Next, a third embodiment in which the configuration of the covering member B is changed will be described. In the following, the same parts as those in the first embodiment are given the same reference numerals, and the differences will be mainly explained.

[0029] In this embodiment, in Figure 4, Aa is a container body having a mouth portion 1, D is a covering member attached to the outer periphery of the mouth portion 1 of the container body Aa, and C is a measuring cap that is screwed onto the mouth portion 1 of the container body Aa via the covering member D. The covering member D is a heat-shrinkable shrink film made of a material such as PE or PP.

[0030] As shown in Figure 4, the container body Aa consists of a nozzle 1, a sloping bottom wall 2, a bottomed body 3 connected to the bottom of the sloping bottom wall 2 and containing the liquid content therein, and a pouring tube 5 extending upward with a slit 4 cut into the upper surface of the sloping bottom wall 2. A male screw 6 is threadedly provided at the top of the outer periphery of the nozzle 1, and a neck ring 35 is provided around the bottom.

[0031] As shown in Figure 4(b), the covering member D is formed of a tubular film with a diameter that covers the mouth portion 1 and a height that extends slightly above and below the outer periphery of the mouth portion 1 of the container body Aa. Two breakable weakened lines 36, such as perforations, are formed axially from top to bottom and spaced laterally apart. The area between the weakened lines 36 forms a cut-out portion 37. When the covering member D is set on the mouth portion 1 of the container body Aa and heated from the outside, the covering member D shrinks around the outer periphery of the mouth portion 1 due to thermal contraction, and the weakened lines 36 and cut-out portion 37 form a separation mechanism. After shrinking, the covering member D is formed with a ring-shaped upper wall portion 40 that covers the upper end surface of the cylindrical mouth portion 1, a covering screw protrusion 41 that covers the male thread portion 6 and bulges outward to form a thread, and a covering neck ring protrusion 42 that covers the neck ring 35 and bulges outward, depending on the shape of the outer periphery of the cylindrical mouth portion 1 of the container body Aa. Note that it is desirable that the covering member D be configured to cover up to the upper end surface of the cylindrical mouth portion 1 so as not to interfere with the seal formed by the inner periphery of the cylindrical mouth portion 1 of the container body Aa and the inner cylindrical wall 24 of the metering cap C after shrinking.

[0032] Next, the effects of this embodiment will be described. After the covering member D is placed on the neck portion 1 of the container body Aa, it is heated and shrunk as shown in FIG. 4(b). At this time, the inner periphery of the covering screw convex portion 41 and the inner periphery of the covering neck ring convex portion 42 of the covering member D are tightly attached to the outer periphery of the male thread portion 6 and the outer periphery of the neck ring 35 of the mouth portion 1 of the container body Aa, and the covering member D is fixed to the mouth portion 1 of the container body Aa.

[0033] In this embodiment, when the measuring cap C is opened or closed, the female thread portion 25 of the outer cylindrical wall 23 of the measuring cap C screws into the outer periphery of the cap screw protrusion 41 of the covering member D, so that the surface of the covering member D is deformed, allowing the measuring cap C to be opened and closed smoothly without resistance.

[0034] When disposing of the container, from the state shown in Figure 4(b), the cut-out portion 37 of the covering member D is pulled downward from the end of the upper wall portion 40 to break the weakened lines 36, and when both or one of the weakened lines 36 have been cut, the cut-out portion 37 can be pushed apart between the cut-out covering members D, or the remaining cut-out portion 37 can be pulled further to widen the spaces between the covering members D, allowing the covering members D to be easily torn off from the mouth portion 1 of the container body Aa, and the materials can be separated for disposal. The other functions and effects are the same as those of the first embodiment. [Example]

[0035] Next, a fourth embodiment in which the configuration of the covering member D of the third embodiment is changed will be described. In the following, the same parts as those in the third embodiment are given the same reference numerals, and the differences will be mainly explained.

[0036] In this embodiment, in Figure 5, Aa is a container body having a mouth portion 1, Da is a covering member attached to the outer periphery of the mouth portion 1 and body portion 3 of the container body Aa, and C is a measuring cap that is screwed onto the mouth portion 1 of the container body Aa via the covering member Da.

[0037] As shown in Figure 5(b), the covering member Da is formed of a tubular film with a diameter that covers the outer periphery of the container body Aa, and its height extends from the upper outer periphery of the nozzle portion 1 of the container body Aa to at least the outer periphery of the body portion 3, slightly extending upward. Two breakable weakened lines 45, such as perforations, are formed axially from top to bottom, spaced laterally apart. The area between the weakened lines 45 forms a cut-out portion 46. When the covering member Da is set on the container body Aa and heated from the outside, the covering member Da shrinks the side periphery of the container body Aa due to thermal contraction, and the weakened lines 45 and cut-out portion 46 form a separation mechanism. After shrinking, the covering member Da has, at the top, a ring-shaped upper wall portion 40 that covers the upper end surface of the mouth portion 1 of the container body Aa, depending on the shape of the outer periphery of the mouth portion 1, a covering screw protrusion 41 that covers the male thread portion 6 and bulges outward to form a screw, and a covering neck ring protrusion 42 that covers the neck ring 35 and bulges outward, and below that, a covering side peripheral portion 47 is formed to match the shape of the side peripheral surface of the body portion 3.

[0038] Next, the effects of this embodiment will be described. After the covering member Da is placed on the outer peripheral surface of the container body Aa, it is heated and shrunk as shown in FIG. 5(b). At this time, the inner periphery of the covering screw convex portion 41 and the inner periphery of the covering neck ring convex portion 42 of the covering member Da are fitted into the outer periphery of the male thread portion 6 and the outer periphery of the neck ring 35 of the mouth tube portion 1 of the container body Aa, and the inner periphery of the covering side periphery 47 of the covering member Da is fitted into the side periphery of the barrel portion 3 of the container body Aa, thereby fixing the covering member Da to the container body Aa.

[0039] In this embodiment, when the measuring cap C is opened or closed, the female thread portion 25 of the outer cylindrical wall 23 of the measuring cap C screws into the outer periphery of the cap screw protrusion 41 of the covering member Da, so that the surface of the covering member Da deforms, allowing it to be opened and closed smoothly without resistance.

[0040] When disposing of the container, from the state shown in FIG. 5(b), the cut-out portion 46 of the covering member Da is pulled downward from the end of the upper wall portion 40, thereby breaking the weakened lines 45, and when both or one of the weakened lines 45 have been cut, the cut-out portion 46 can be pushed apart between the cut-out portions of the covering member Da, or the remaining cut-out portion 46 can be pulled further to widen the spaces between the covering members Da, allowing the entire covering member Da to be easily torn off from the container body Aa, allowing it to be disposed of separately according to material. The other functions and effects are the same as those of the first embodiment. [Industrial Applicability]

[0041] The pouring container of the present invention has a container body and cap molded from PET material, and a covering member molded from a material such as PE or PP is placed between the container body and the cap, which allows the container body and the cap to slide smoothly.This means that the PET container body and the cap do not interfere with each other and hinder opening and closing, allowing for smooth opening and closing and improving sealing performance. Furthermore, when disposing of the container, the covering member can be easily removed from the container body and disposed of separately, making it suitable for use as a container for liquid detergents, bleaches, etc., as well as other liquid chemicals and seasonings.
