Dispensing container

Abstract

To provide a feeding container in which the number of components of a cartridge is reduced, a rod-like content is stably fed out and fed in, and the cartridge is easily attached to an operation body.SOLUTION: An operation body 1 includes an outer peripheral wall part where a spiral groove 3c is provided, an intermediate peripheral wall part 4a which has a vertical groove 4b and is rotatable about an axis line O, an inner peripheral wall part 5a which has a protrusion 5b that is inserted in the vertical groove 4b and engages the spiral groove 3c, and an operation body engaging part 5c provided on the inner peripheral wall part 5a. A cartridge 6 includes an intermediate tray body part 8a which supports a rod-like content C and can advance and retreat, a contact part 8e which makes contact with the inner peripheral wall part 5a when the inner peripheral wall part 5a advances for advancing the intermediate tray body part 8a, and a cartridge first engaging part 8f which does not engage the operation body engaging part 5c before the inner peripheral wall part 5a makes contact with the contact part 8e and engages the operation body engaging part 5c by being pushed by a cartridge peripheral wall part 7a when the intermediate tray body part 8a advances as the inner peripheral wall part 5a makes contact with the contact part 8e.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1

Claims

1. A dispensing container comprising an operating body and a cartridge that holds a rod-shaped contents and is attached to the operating body, The operating body is The outer circumferential wall portion has a spiral groove on its inner surface, An intermediate circumferential wall portion having a longitudinal groove extending along the axis of the outer circumferential wall portion, located radially inward of the outer circumferential wall portion and rotatable relative to the outer circumferential wall portion around its axis, The inner circumferential wall portion has a projection that passes through the longitudinal groove and engages with the helical groove, and is located radially inward of the intermediate circumferential wall portion, The inner circumferential wall portion comprises an operating body engagement portion, The aforementioned cartridge is The cartridge peripheral wall portion surrounding the aforementioned rod-shaped contents, A central tray body that supports the rod-shaped contents and is located radially inward of the cartridge peripheral wall, and is movable forward and backward relative to the cartridge peripheral wall, A contact portion that, when the intermediate circumferential wall portion rotates relative to the outer circumferential wall portion and the inner circumferential wall portion moves forward, contacts the inner circumferential wall portion and moves the middle plate body portion forward, A dispensing container comprising: an elastically deformable cartridge first engaging portion, which is disengaged from the operating body engaging portion before the inner circumferential wall portion contacts the contact portion, and which is pressed radially inward by the cartridge circumferential wall portion and engages with the operating body engaging portion when the inner circumferential wall portion contacts the contact portion and the middle tray body portion advances.

2. The dispensing container according to claim 1, wherein the inner circumferential wall portion has a notch that allows elastic deformation of the cartridge first engaging portion to a position in which the inner circumferential wall portion is disengaged from the operating body engaging portion in the state before the inner circumferential wall portion comes into contact with the contact portion.

3. The dispensing container according to claim 1, wherein the cartridge peripheral wall portion has a rear opening into which the advancing inner peripheral wall portion is inserted, and a second cartridge engaging portion that prevents the middle tray body portion from coming out of the rear opening when the cartridge is detached from the operating body.

4. The dispensing container according to claim 3, wherein the operating body engaging portion engages with the cartridge second engaging portion when the inner circumferential wall portion is retracted and the middle tray body portion is moved to the retracted limit for use, thereby stopping the retraction of the inner circumferential wall portion.

5. The dispensing container according to claim 4, wherein the operating body engaging portion is elastically deformable, and the engagement with the cartridge second engaging portion is released when the inner circumferential wall portion is further retracted from the state in which it is engaged with the cartridge second engaging portion.

6. The dispensing container according to claim 1, wherein the cartridge is provided with a movable part that slides from a state in which it protrudes from the main body of the inner tray and is embedded in the rod-shaped contents to a state in which it is housed inside the main body of the inner tray.
