Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention is directed to preventing the spraying (liquid spraying) of oil and fat when the oil and fat are poured out from a container filled with the oil and fat. The present invention relates to a spout for a grease container that can suppress the above-mentioned problem. [Background technology]
[0002] In recent years, there has been a shift to environmentally friendly products in the food and beverage packaging sector. For example, we are trying to switch from plastic containers to paper containers. This will significantly reduce the amount of plastic used, reduce plastic waste and garbage volume, and ultimately Efforts are underway to reduce CO2 emissions.
[0003] On the other hand, by attaching a cap equipped with a pouring tube to the opening of the container, the liquid from the container can be poured. Containers that allow the contents to be easily poured out have been known for some time. In general, it is desirable for a container with a cap to have little dripping of liquid contents and good drainage. can be. The liquid contents to be filled into the container equipped with such a pouring tube are cosmetics such as emulsion, oil, dressing, etc. When using thickeners, sauces, etc. with a relatively high viscosity, the liquid may not drain well after pouring out. In addition, the liquid content may remain in the dispensing tube, which may cause dripping. Therefore, various structures of the dispensing tube and cap were examined, or for example, the container body was made flexible. A so-called squeeze bottle using a plastic container is used, and by squeezing (compressing) the container, After the contents are pushed out, the suction force (suck back) occurs when the container returns to its original shape. The residual liquid in the dispensing tube is drawn back into the container to prevent dripping.
[0004] For example, by narrowing the inner diameter of the nozzle part locally, it is possible to A cap for a liquid container that prevents liquid from dripping has been disclosed (Patent Document 1). In addition, even if the content liquid is relatively viscous, such as hair treatment oil, To improve the cutting performance and prevent discomfort and dirt caused by dripping, the pouring tube is of a specified height. A flange piece having a predetermined width is provided at the upper end, and a straightening cylinder is provided at the entrance of the pouring passage formed by the pouring cylinder. A dispensing cap provided with the above is disclosed (Patent Document 2). Furthermore, by configuring the communication hole of the pouring tube to have a straight portion and an enlarged diameter portion, The pouring cap prevents dripping and soiling of the pouring tube even when pouring high-viscosity liquids such as thick sauces. A patent document 3 discloses a method for making such a filter.
[0005] However, in Patent Documents 1 to 3, when the container is gripped, liquid gushes out from the spout. There is no mention or suggestion whatsoever about the issue of blowing (liquid blowing). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0011] As mentioned above, the container with a cap and a pouring tube contains a relatively viscous liquid such as oil. In products filled with liquid, the liquid drains well after pouring out, preventing dripping. In order to suppress this, various studies have been conducted on the shapes of the pouring tube, the cap body, etc. While investigating the problem of dripping of oils and fats, the inventors first We noticed that oil and fats would spurt out from the spout. As a result of further investigation, it was found that the container itself is made of relatively soft materials such as soft plastic or paper packs. If the container is made of a material, it may be crushed when held by hand, causing the contents inside the container to become The air that has been pushed out is then discharged, and the air that remains in the flow path of the spout is discharged. It was confirmed that the oil and fat that had been added to the mixture were also pushed out, resulting in the blowing-out phenomenon. The inventors then found that in a cap provided with a pouring tube (spout), If the step is set to a predetermined size or larger, the step will cause a liquid pool of oil and grease to form. It was discovered that this was one of the causes of the aforementioned blowout phenomenon. The step on the inner peripheral surface of the pouring tube can occur when the pouring tube is molded using a mold. By keeping the difference in level within a specified range, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of liquid accumulation of oil and grease, resulting in the reduction of blowout. It was found that this phenomenon could be suppressed.

[0023] Next, as an example of a usage mode of the cap equipped with the spout according to the present invention, This section describes a container that has been designed. FIG. 4 shows a container 10 equipped with a cap 1 having a spout (not shown) according to the present invention. This is a diagram. The container 10 comprises a container body 5 and a cap 1 according to the present invention. The container 10 is connected to an inner lid (not shown) made of resin that engages with the cap 1. The oil Lc (not shown) described later is filled in.
[0024] The container body 5 can be a container made of a paper material (a so-called paper pack), and the container body The outer and inner surfaces of the 5 are laminated to suit the storage and transportation of the oils and fats Lc. For example, when the fat Lc is a liquid edible fat, which will be described later, the thickness of the laminated body can be increased. The layer may be provided with, for example, enzyme barrier properties and light-shielding properties that prevent the transmission of visible light, ultraviolet light, etc. A barrier layer that improves the resistance may be provided. In addition to paper packs, the container body can also be made of polyethylene (PE) or polyethylene terephthalate. The bottle may also be made of a resin such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET). The resin inner lid connected to the container body 5 is made of the same material as the cap 1. This can be done.
[0025] The fats and oils Lc having a solid fat content (SFC) of 5% or less at 20°C are not particularly limited. The oils and fats are not intended to be used for general purposes and may be either edible or non-edible, but are preferably edible. Examples of edible oils and fats include rapeseed oil, soybean oil, sunflower seed oil, cottonseed oil, peanut oil, and rice oil. , corn oil, safflower oil, olive oil, kapok oil, sesame oil, evening primrose oil, linseed oil, Examples include vegetable oils such as sesame oil and synthetic oils such as medium-chain fatty acid triglycerides.
[0026] Next, the oil Lc is poured into the container 10 equipped with the cap 1 having the spout 22 of the present invention. This section explains examples of how to use products filled with this ingredient. FIG. 5 shows a product in which the oil Lc is filled in a container 10 fitted with the cap 1. 5(a) is an enlarged cross-sectional view of the periphery of the cap 1. FIG. 5(a) shows a state in which the container 10 begins to be tilted during use. The container 10 is further tilted to pour out the fat Lc as shown in FIG. 5(b). Figure 5(c) shows the state where the tilt is slightly returned, and Figure 5(d) shows the state where the tilt is returned to the initial state. Each is shown below. As shown in Figs. 5(a) to (d), the container 10 has a container body 5 and a tree connected to the container body 5. It comprises an inner lid 51 made of grease and a cap 1 attached to the upper opening 10A of the container 10. At this time, the cap 1 and the inner lid 51 are configured to engage with each other (see FIG. 5(d) etc.). . When using the product, tilt the product (Fig. 5(a) and (b)) and slide the container body 5 as needed. By squeezing (compressing), the oil Lc enters the upper opening 10A of the container 10 and The liquid is poured through an opening 21A provided in the top wall 21 of the cup 1 and a spout 22 of the cap 1. (Figure 5(b)). After using the product, when the product position is returned to the position shown in FIG. 5(c), the oil remaining inside the spout 22 is The fat Lc is returned to the inside of the container through the opening 21A and the upper opening 10A by its own weight. In addition, when the oil Lc is pushed out by squeezing (compressing) the container body 5, When the liquid returns to its original shape, the liquid remains in the spout 22 due to the suction force (suck back). The oil Lc is drawn back into the container. At this time, the upstream of the first cylinder 220A of the spout 22 the diameter D220A4 of the side end of the second cylinder 220B and the diameter D220B2 of the downstream end of the second cylinder 220B. The difference in diameter is 0.05 mm or more and less than 0.5 mm, so that the oil Lc does not flow into the step portion 2 The next time the container 10 is held by hand, the container may be crushed, and the contents inside the container may not be stored in the container 22. When air is forced out from the spout 22, the oil Lc can be prevented from being blown out. . [Example]
[0027] The cap 1 having the spout 22 according to the present invention (FIG. 2) and the spout 92 ( Using 700 mL paper packs each equipped with a cap (Fig. 3), we investigated the amount of oil and fat that was released. The position of the cap on the paper pack was as shown in Figure 1. 4. The dimensions of the spout in Figures 2 and 3 are as follows: do. (Spout in Figure 2) The diameter D of the downstream end 220A2 of the first cylinder 220A 220A2 :1.8mm The diameter D of the upstream end 220A4 of the first cylinder 220A 220A4 :1.77mm The diameter D of the downstream end 220B2 of the second cylinder 220B 220B2 :1.87mm The diameter D of the upstream end 220B4 of the second cylinder 220B 220B4 :1.99mm Diameter D of downstream end 220C2 of truncated cone 220C 220C2 :1.99mm Diameter D of the upstream end 220C4 of the truncated cone 220C 220C4 :5.5mm (Spout in Figure 3) Diameter D of downstream end 920A2 of cylinder 920A 920A2 :1.8mm Diameter D of the upstream end 920A4 of the cylinder 920A 920A4 :1.77mm Diameter D of downstream end 920C2 of truncated cone 920C 920C2 :2.23mm Diameter D of the upstream end 920C4 of the truncated cone 920C 920C4 :5.48mm
[0028] The evaluation was carried out according to the following procedure. (1) Grasp the side of the paper pack that is standing still and lift it up. (2) Tilt it and pour in a small amount of oil. (3) Return the paper carton to its original position, place it back on the desk, and let go. (4) Grasp the paper pack again to lift it up. (5) The steps (1) to (4) were repeated 10 times, and the number of times that oil and fat were blown out was evaluated.
