Description

A container that allows for fine adjustment of the amount of contents discharged

[0001] The present invention relates to a container capable of finely controlling the amount of content discharged, and more specifically, to a content container capable of finely controlling the degree of content discharged through an orifice.

[0002] In industries such as cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and household goods, there is a need for convenient and hygienic containers for liquid or semi-liquid products. Especially for low-viscosity formulations like essences, serums, toners, and lotions, containers that allow for finely controlled dispensing are needed, allowing users to use just the amount they desire.

[0003] Conventional low-viscosity formulation containers typically dispense product using a pump or squeeze method. While easy to use, these methods suffer from the difficulty of accurately controlling the amount dispensed. Pump-type containers often produce inconsistent amounts or fail to dispense properly when the product is low. Furthermore, the squeeze method varies the amount dispensed depending on the pressure applied, making it difficult to precisely control the amount used.

[0004] If it's difficult to control the amount of product discharged, excessive discharge can lead to product waste, negatively impacting the environment and placing an unnecessary financial burden on consumers. This issue is particularly critical for expensive cosmetics and pharmaceuticals.

[0005] The present invention is intended to solve the above problem, and provides a contents container capable of finely controlling the amount of contents discharged.

[0006] The technical problems of the present invention are not limited to the technical problems mentioned above, and other technical problems not mentioned will be clearly understood by those skilled in the art from the description below.

[0007] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a contents container is provided. The contents container includes a tube having a tube neck in which a discharge hole is formed, a tube configured to store contents, a nozzle including a nozzle neck accommodated in the tube neck, and a nozzle head extending from the nozzle neck and having a discharge hole formed therein through which contents can be discharged, and an orifice configured to reduce a cross-sectional area of ​​a flow path through which contents can be moved by being accommodated at least partially in the nozzle neck, wherein the orifice forms an orifice flow path through which contents can be moved between the inner wall of the nozzle neck and the nozzle neck.

[0008] According to the present invention, the contents container includes an orifice positioned along the flow path through which the contents flow, thereby reducing the amount of contents passing through the flow path and easily controlling the discharge amount of the contents. Accordingly, even contents of low-viscosity formulations can be finely controlled for discharge, making them applicable regardless of formulation, and enhancing the convenience of use and economic feasibility of the product.

[0009] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the contents container forms a cap assembly in which a nozzle and an orifice are combined to be detachably coupled with a tube, thereby simplifying the assembly configuration with the tube and enabling the diameter of the tube to be expanded.

[0010] According to one embodiment of the present invention, by forming a groove in the orifice, a flow path through which contents can move can be easily formed between the orifice and the nozzle, and by increasing or decreasing the number of grooves in the orifice depending on the viscosity of the contents, the degree of discharge of the contents can be controlled.

[0011] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the flow path through which the contents are formed is formed to be bent by an orifice, thereby making it difficult for the contents to pass through the flow path.

[0012] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the orifice can seal between the nozzle neck and the tube.

[0013] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a concave space is formed in the orifice, thereby making it easy to deform the orifice and thus making it easy to insert the orifice into the nozzle.

[0014] In order to more fully understand the drawings cited in the detailed description of the present invention, a brief description of each drawing is provided.

[0040]

[0041] Figure 1 is a perspective view of a contents container (1) according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0042] Referring to Fig. 1, a contents container (1) according to one embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0043] A contents container (1) configured to receive and discharge contents may be provided. At this time, the contents may be, for example, liquid. For example, the contents may be liquid cosmetics or artificial tears.

[0044] The contents container (1) may include a tube (400) configured to receive contents, a nozzle (200) configured to discharge contents received in the tube (400), and / or a cap (100) that covers the nozzle (200) to prevent contents from being discharged through the nozzle (200) when not necessary. In this case, the cap (100) may be omitted as needed. The nozzle (200) may be configured to have a discharge hole (201H) (see FIG. 2) formed at an end so that contents are discharged through the discharge hole (201H). For reference, the nozzle (200) may be made of plastic or metal, and the cap (100) may be made of plastic or metal.

[0045] The tube (400) may have a shape extending in one direction. Furthermore, the tube (400) may have a deformable material. Furthermore, the tube (400) may be thin to facilitate deformation. The user may press the tube (400) to move the contents toward the nozzle (200). By deforming the tube (400), the volume of the space inside the tube (400) can be reduced, thereby causing the contents contained in that space to move. The tube (400) may be made of plastic or metal.

[0046] The amount of content dispensed may need to be controlled. In particular, when small amounts of content are required, it is necessary to prevent excessive amounts from being dispensed. To achieve this, the amount of content dispensed needs to be limited. This will be discussed in detail below.

[0047] Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the contents container (1) illustrated in Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the orifice (300) illustrated in Fig. 2. More specifically, Fig. 3(a) is a perspective view illustrating the orifice (300) according to the first embodiment. Fig. 3(b) is a perspective view illustrating the orifice (300) according to the second embodiment.

[0048] Referring to FIGS. 2 to 3(a), a contents container (1) including an orifice (300) according to a first embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0049] First, the composition of the contents container (1) will be described in detail.

[0050] As illustrated in FIG. 2, the contents container (1) may include a cap (100), a nozzle (200) configured to be covered by the cap (100), a tube (400) configured to receive contents, and / or an orifice (300) configured to control the discharge amount of contents. In this case, the cap (100) may be omitted as needed.

[0051] The cap (100) may be configured to cover the discharge hole (201H) formed in the nozzle (200). The cap (100) may be configured to open or close the discharge hole (201H). While the cap (100) closes the discharge hole (201H), a portion of the cap (100) may extend inwardly of the discharge hole (201H).

[0052] The nozzle (200) may include a nozzle neck (220), a nozzle head (210), and a support (230). In this case, the support (230) may be omitted as needed.

[0053] The nozzle head (210) may have a discharge hole (201H) formed at an end thereof. The nozzle head (210) may be configured to have a cross-sectional area that decreases toward the discharge hole (201H). Accordingly, the nozzle flow path (P3) (P) formed inside the nozzle head (210) may be formed to have a cross-sectional area that decreases toward the discharge hole (201H). The contents passing through the nozzle flow path (P3) (P) may have a faster flow rate toward the discharge hole (201H), and accordingly, the pressure of the contents on the discharge hole (201H) side may decrease, so that the contents on the side far from the discharge hole (201H) may be induced to move toward the discharge hole (201H) according to the pressure difference. When a user attempts to use the contents, the contents can be easily discharged.

[0054] The nozzle neck (220) may extend from the opposite side of the discharge hole (201H) of the nozzle head (210). In other words, the nozzle head (210) may extend from the nozzle neck (220) and form a discharge hole (201H) through which contents may be discharged. More specifically, the nozzle neck (220) may extend toward the tube (400). As illustrated in FIG. 2, the nozzle neck (220) may extend downward. The nozzle neck (220) may be configured to be coupled to the tube (400). More specifically, the nozzle neck (220) may be configured to be coupled to the tube (400) by an orifice (300). The nozzle neck (220) may be configured to be accommodated in the tube (400). More specifically, the nozzle neck (220) may be configured to be accommodated in a tube neck (420) described later. A portion of the orifice (300) may be positioned between the nozzle neck (220) and the tube neck (420), thereby coupling the nozzle neck (220) and the tube (400). The nozzle neck (220) may be accommodated in a space formed in the orifice (300) in relation to the orifice (300). Additionally, the nozzle neck (220) may include a coupling protrusion (221) protruding outward. The coupling protrusion (221) will be described in more detail in the description of the related configuration.

[0055] The support member (230) may extend radially from the nozzle head (210). As illustrated in FIG. 2, the support member (230) may extend left and right, and may extend circumferentially from the lower side of the nozzle head (210). The support member (230) may extend radially beyond the outer diameter of the space formed in the orifice (300). Accordingly, the support member (230) may be supported by the orifice (300) to prevent the nozzle (200) from moving inside the tube (400).

[0056] A tube (400) configured to store contents may include a soft tube body (410) configured to receive contents, and a tube neck (420) coupled to an opening of the tube body (410). At this time, the tube body (410) may be omitted as needed.

[0057] The tube body (410) may be formed with a thickness thinner than the tube neck (420), so that it can be easily deformed. The tube body (410) may be formed so that its shape is deformed when pressurized, thereby allowing the contents located inside to move toward the tube neck (420). An opening may be formed at one end of the tube body (410), so that the opening of the tube body (410) may be used as a passage for filling the contents inside the tube body (410).

[0058] The tube neck (420) can be coupled to an opening formed at one end of the tube body (410) to control the movement of the contents. The tube neck (420) can be formed with a discharge hole (421H) configured to allow the contents to pass through. More specifically, the tube neck (420) can include an inlet portion (421) configured to cover the opening of the tube body (410). Referring to FIG. 2, the inlet portion (421) can extend in the left and right directions. The discharge hole (421H) is formed in the inlet portion (421), so that the contents discharged from the tube body (410) can move through the discharge hole (421H). At this time, the discharge hole (421H) has a smaller cross-sectional area than the opening of the tube body (410), so that the discharge amount of the contents can be reduced. As the discharge amount of the contents is reduced, the discharge amount of the contents can be easily controlled. The inlet portion (421) may include a concave portion facing the orifice (300) and facing away from the orifice (300) so as to correspond to the shape of the orifice (300). The inlet portion (421) may form a tube path (P1) between the inlet portion and the orifice (300). The tube path (P1) may be defined as a path (P) from the discharge hole (421H) to the orifice path (P2) described later. Due to the shape of the inlet portion (421) corresponding to the orifice (300), the cross-sectional area of ​​at least a portion of the tube path (P1) may be maintained constant, so that the flow of the contents may not be obstructed. Furthermore, the tube neck (420) may include a portion extending in the longitudinal direction of the tube (400). The tube neck (420) may include a joining rib (422) extending radially outward. Regarding the joining rib (422), it is described in more detail in the description of the orifice (300) that is joined to the joining rib (422).

[0059] An orifice (300) configured to limit the discharge amount of the contents to a predetermined value or less may be provided. The orifice (300) may be provided such that at least a portion thereof is located between the nozzle (200) and the tube neck (420). More specifically, the orifice (300) may be configured such that at least a portion thereof is accommodated in the nozzle neck (220) to reduce the cross-sectional area of ​​the flow path (P) through which the contents can move. If the orifice (300) is not provided, the flow path (P) formed between the discharge hole (421H) and the discharge hole (201H) may be defined only by the nozzle (200). The orifice (300) may be accommodated in the nozzle (200) to form a flow path (P) having a smaller cross-sectional area than the flow path (P) defined only by the nozzle (200). If the area of ​​the flow path (P) becomes narrower, the amount of the contents passing through the flow path (P) may decrease. Accordingly, the amount or speed of the contents discharged from the discharge hole (201H) of the nozzle (200) can be reduced. More specifically, the orifice (300) can form an orifice path (P2) through which the contents can move between the inner wall of the nozzle neck (220) so that the contents can move. However, if necessary, in the case where the nozzle neck (220) is not accommodated in the tube neck (420) but the nozzle neck (220) accommodates the tube neck (420), the orifice (300) may be accommodated on the inside of the tube neck (420) so that the orifice path (P2) may be formed between the inner wall of the tube neck (420) and the orifice (300). For reference, the orifice (300) may have a rubber material. Accordingly, the orifice (300) can have an improved sealing effect with a component it comes into contact with, and can be easily deformed.

[0060] As illustrated in Fig. 3(a), an inwardly concave flow path (311H) may be formed in the orifice (300) to form an orifice flow path (P2). As illustrated in Fig. 2, the orifice flow path (P2) may be defined by the inner wall of the nozzle neck (220) and the flow path groove (311H). If necessary, the orifice flow path (P2) may be formed between the outer surface of the orifice (300) and the inner wall of the nozzle neck (220) without the flow path groove (311H). However, when the orifice flow path (P2) is formed by forming the flow path groove (311H), the discharge amount of the contents can be easily controlled by adjusting the area and number of the flow path grooves (311H).

[0061] The flow path (311H) may extend parallel to the longitudinal direction of the nozzle neck (220). Since the longitudinal direction of the nozzle neck (220) and the flow path (311H) are parallel, the extension direction of the orifice flow path (P2) may be parallel to the extension direction of the nozzle neck (220). The extension direction of the nozzle neck (220) may be parallel to the extension direction of the nozzle flow path (P3) (P), and thus the orifice flow path (P2) may be parallel to the nozzle flow path (P3) (P). Accordingly, the contents that have exited the orifice flow path (P2) may be easily moved to the nozzle flow path (P3) (P).

[0062] Furthermore, if necessary, the cross-sectional area of ​​the orifice flow path (P2) may vary along the longitudinal direction. If the cross-sectional area of ​​the orifice flow path (P2) increases as it moves toward the discharge hole (201H), the discharge speed of the contents may be further slowed down.

[0063] As illustrated in Fig. 3(a), the orifice (300) may have a through hole (321H) formed at the lower side of the flow path groove (311H). The contents may be configured to move from the tube flow path (P1) to the orifice flow path (P2) through the through hole (321H). That is, the through hole (321H) may be configured to allow the contents to move from the discharge hole (421H) toward the flow path groove (311H).

[0064] The through hole (321H) may be adjacent to the flow path (311H). Accordingly, bending of the flow path (P) formed from the through hole (321H) to the flow path (311H) is prevented, so that energy loss due to friction can be reduced as the contents introduced into the through hole (321H) move to the flow path (311H).

[0065] The flow path (P) formed to allow the contents to flow from the discharge hole (421H) to the discharge hole (201H) may be formed to be bent at least once by the orifice (300). As illustrated in FIG. 2, the flow path (P) may include a tube flow path (P1), an orifice flow path (P2), and / or a nozzle flow path (P3) (P). The contents flowing from the discharge hole (421H) to the tube flow path (P1) may be bent and moved while moving to the orifice flow path (P2). Since the orifice flow path (P2) formed between the inner wall of the nozzle neck (220) and the orifice is formed by extending upward and then bending to the right again, the contents may be bent and moved while moving along the orifice flow path (P2). The contents flowing out of the orifice flow path (P2) may be bent and moved upward again while moving toward the nozzle flow path (P3) (P). As illustrated in Fig. 2, the flow path (P) configured to move the contents can be bent four times when defined as being bent while moving from the discharge hole (421H) to the tube flow path (P1). If there is a bend in the flow path (P), energy loss in the flow of the contents can occur at the bent portion, thereby further delaying the discharge of the contents.

[0066] The orifice (300) will be described in more detail.

[0067] The orifice (300) may include a nozzle insertion portion (310) inserted into the nozzle (200), a tube facing portion (320) extending from the nozzle insertion portion (310) in a direction different from the extension direction of the nozzle insertion portion (310), a nozzle support portion (330) extending from the tube facing portion (320) in a direction different from the extension direction of the tube facing portion (320), a tube cover portion (340) extending in a direction different from the extension direction of the nozzle support portion (330), and / or a flange portion (350) extending in a direction different from the extension direction of the tube cover portion (340). In this case, the nozzle support portion (330), the tube cover portion (340), and the flange portion (350) may be omitted as needed.

[0068] The nozzle insertion portion (310) can be inserted into the nozzle neck (220). The nozzle insertion portion (310) is substantially annular and can extend in the vertical direction. The nozzle insertion portion (310) can face the inner surface of the nozzle neck (220). The aforementioned flow groove (311H) can be formed in the nozzle insertion portion (310). The portion of the nozzle insertion portion (310) where the flow groove (311H) is not formed can be in close contact with the inner surface of the nozzle neck (220) to prevent the contents from moving between the nozzle neck (220) and the nozzle insertion portion (310).

[0069] The tube facing portion (320) may be positioned on the side facing the discharge hole (421H) of the nozzle neck (220). In other words, the tube facing portion (320) may be positioned on the lower side of the nozzle insertion portion (310). The tube facing portion (320) may be accommodated in the tube neck (420). The tube facing portion (320) may face the inlet portion (421) of the tube neck (420). The tube facing portion (320) may include a convex portion (322) that connects between the nozzle insertions (310) and is convex toward the discharge hole (421H). A portion of the tube path (P1) formed between the convex portion (322) and the inlet portion (421) of the tube neck (420) is formed to be inclined by the convex portion (322) to the through hole (321H), thereby reducing the bending angle of the path (P) positioned between the tube path (P1) and the through hole (321H). The tube path (P1) formed between the convex portion (322) and the inlet portion (421) may be configured to be inclined toward the discharge hole (201H) with respect to the direction from the discharge hole (421H) toward the through hole (321H). The tube facing portion (320) may further include a portion that extends outward from the convex portion (322) and supports the lower end of the nozzle neck (220). The above-mentioned through hole (321H) may be formed in the tube facing portion (320).

[0070] At this time, the orifice (300) may have an opening formed toward the discharge hole (201H) and a concave space (310S) formed toward the exhaust hole (421H). More specifically, the opening may be formed on the upper side of the concave space (310S). The concave space (310S) may be formed by the nozzle insertion portion (310) and the convex portion (322). The concave space (310S) may facilitate the inward deformation of the nozzle insertion portion (310). Since the nozzle insertion portion (310) is inserted into the nozzle neck (220) and is positioned to contact the inner surface of the nozzle neck (220), it may not be easy to insert it into the nozzle neck (220). By forming the concave space (310S), the insertion of the nozzle insertion portion (310) into the nozzle neck (220) may be facilitated.

[0071] The nozzle support (330) may extend in the vertical direction from the outside of the tube facing portion (320). The nozzle support (330) may be positioned between the nozzle (200) and the tube neck (420). The nozzle support (330) may be configured to prevent movement of contents between the nozzle (200) and the tube neck (420). More specifically, the space between the nozzle neck (220) and the orifice (300) may be sealed by the nozzle insertion portion (310), the tube facing portion (320), and the nozzle support (330) contacting the nozzle neck (220), thereby preventing contents from leaking between the nozzle neck (220) and the orifice (300).

[0072] Furthermore, the nozzle support (330) may extend upwardly and outwardly in an inclined manner. The nozzle support (330) may be in contact with the inner wall of the tube neck (420) and may be coupled with the tube neck (420). As the nozzle support (330) is inclined, the nozzle support (330) may be coupled with the tube neck (420) in a forced fit. In particular, since the upper end of the nozzle support (330) is positioned at a height corresponding to the opening of the concave space (310S), the nozzle support (330) may be deformed inward while being inserted into the tube neck (420), thereby facilitating the insertion of the nozzle support (330). After the nozzle support (330) is completely inserted into the tube neck (420), a force is generated to restore the orifice (300), so that the nozzle support (330) and the tube neck (420) come into close contact, thereby strengthening the bond between the orifice (300) and the tube neck (420).

[0073] The nozzle support (330) may include a support protrusion (332) that protrudes downward from the tube facing portion (320) and is supported by the tube neck (420). Accordingly, the support protrusion (332) can maintain a gap between the tube facing portion (320) and the inlet portion (421) of the tube neck (420), thereby forming a tube passage (P1) through which the contents can pass. Furthermore, the support protrusion (332) can seal the gap with the tube neck (420), thereby preventing the contents from leaking between the nozzle support (330) and the tube neck (420).

[0074] The nozzle neck (220) may include a coupling protrusion (221) protruding toward the nozzle support (330). The coupling protrusion (221) may protrude radially outwardly of the nozzle neck (220). The nozzle support (330) may be formed with a nozzle coupling groove (331H) in which the coupling protrusion (221) is received. The nozzle coupling groove (331H) may be formed to correspond to the coupling protrusion (221). By receiving the coupling protrusion (221) in the nozzle coupling groove (331H), the orifice (300) may be coupled to the nozzle (200).

[0075] The tube cover portion (340) may be provided to extend from the nozzle support portion (330) and cover an end of the tube neck (420). The tube cover portion (340) may include a portion that extends radially outwardly from the nozzle support portion (330) and a portion that extends again by being bent toward the tube (400). A portion of the tube cover portion (340) and the nozzle support portion (330) may face each other. Accordingly, the tube neck (420) may be inserted between the tube cover portion (340) and the nozzle support portion (330).

[0076] The tube cover part (340) can be detachably coupled to the tube neck (420). The tube neck (420) can include a coupling rib (422) protruding toward the tube cover part (340). The tube cover part (340) can be formed with a tube coupling groove (341H) in which the coupling rib (422) is received. The tube coupling groove (341H) can have a shape corresponding to the coupling rib (422). The coupling rib (422) can include a portion that slopes outward from the upper side to the lower side. Accordingly, the insertion of the coupling rib (422) into the tube coupling groove (341H) can be facilitated. The orifice (300) can be detachably coupled to the tube neck (420) by the coupling rib (422) and the tube coupling groove (341H). In other words, the nozzle (200) and the orifice (300) can be combined to form a cap assembly (CA) that is separable from the tube neck (420). In other words, by forming a modular cap assembly (CA) with the cap (100), the nozzle (200), and the orifice (300), the assembly configuration with the tube (400) can be simplified, and the diameter of the tube (400) can be made expandable.

[0077] The tube cover portion (340) may include a cap coupling portion (341) that protrudes outward. The cap coupling portion (341) may be a portion coupled to the cap (100). The cap (100) may have a corresponding portion that is screw-coupled to the cap coupling portion (341). Accordingly, the cap (100) may be coupled to or separated from the orifice (300) by rotation.

[0078] The flange portion (350) may protrude outside the tube cover portion (340). The flange portion (350) may contact the tube (400) to ultimately seal any contents that may leak between the tube (400) and the orifice (300). Furthermore, the flange portion (350) may support the cap (100) and limit the radius of rotation of the cap (100) to be coupled with the orifice (300).

[0080] Below, embodiments different from the above embodiments are described. Commonalities with the above embodiments will be omitted as much as possible, and the other embodiments will be described focusing on differences. In other words, it should be clear that any details not described in the other embodiments can be supplemented by the above embodiments.

[0081] Figure 3(b) illustrates an orifice (300) according to the second embodiment of the present invention.

[0082] Referring to FIG. 3(b), an orifice (300) according to a second embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0083] The second embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that a plurality of euro grooves (311H-1) are formed in the orifice (300).

[0084] A plurality of flow grooves (311H-1) may be provided. The number of the plurality of flow grooves (311H-1) may be provided to correspond to the viscosity of the contents. That is, when the viscosity of the contents increases, the number of the plurality of flow grooves (311H-1) may increase accordingly. When the viscosity of the contents decreases, the number of flow grooves (311H-1) may decrease accordingly. Consequently, even if the viscosity of the contents changes, the amount or speed of the contents discharged through the discharge hole (201H) can be set to a target level.

[0085] Furthermore, multiple flow grooves (311H-1) may be formed at a distance or angle that is as far apart from each other as possible. As illustrated in Fig. 3(b), when two flow grooves (311H-1) are formed, they may be positioned at an angle of 180° from each other. Accordingly, interference between the flow of contents flowing into each flow groove (311H-1) can be prevented.

[0086] Additionally, multiple through holes (321H) may be provided corresponding to the euro grooves (311H-1).

[0087]

[0088] FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view and an enlarged view of a contents container (1) and an orifice (300) according to another embodiment of the present invention. More specifically, FIG. 4(a) is a cross-sectional view of a contents container (1) and an orifice (300) according to a third embodiment. FIG. 4(b) is a cross-sectional view of a contents container (1) and an orifice (300) according to a fourth embodiment.

[0089] The third and fourth embodiments differ from the first embodiment in that the shape of the euro grooves (311H-2, 311H-3) is formed to form a plurality of euros (P).

[0090] The euro grooves (311H-2, 311H-3) can form a plurality of paths (P). As the number of paths (P) formed by the euro grooves (311H-2, 311H-3) increases, the cross-sectional area of ​​the entire euro grooves (311H-2, 311H-3) can increase. The number of paths (P) formed by the euro grooves (311H-2, 311H-3) can be provided to correspond to the viscosity of the contents. That is, when the viscosity of the contents increases, the number of paths (P) formed by the euro grooves (311H-2, 311H-3) can increase accordingly. When the viscosity of the contents decreases, the number of paths (P) formed by the euro grooves (311H-2, 311H-3) can decrease accordingly. As a result, even if the viscosity of the contents changes, the amount or speed of the contents discharged through the discharge hole (201H) can be set to a constant level as desired.

[0091] At this time, the third embodiment illustrated in FIG. 4(a) illustrates a case where the euro groove (311H-2) is single, and the fourth embodiment illustrated in FIG. 4(b) illustrates a case where two euro grooves (311H-3) are formed, like the third embodiment, like the second embodiment.

[0092]

[0093] FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view and an enlarged view of a contents container (1) and an orifice (300) according to another embodiment of the present invention. More specifically, FIG. 5(a) is a cross-sectional view of a contents container (1) and an orifice (300) according to a fifth embodiment. FIG. 5(b) is a cross-sectional view of a contents container (1) and an orifice (300) according to a sixth embodiment.

[0094] The fifth and sixth embodiments differ from the first embodiment in that the shapes of the euro grooves (311H-4, 311H-5) are different and the euro recesses (312H-5) are formed with different end shapes of the orifice euro (P2). In particular, the fourth and fifth embodiments differ from the fourth and fifth embodiments in that the euro grooves (311H-4, 311H-5) form a single euro (P) while only the shapes of the euro grooves (311H-4, 311H-5) are different.

[0095] The cross-section of the euro groove (311H-4, 311H-5) may be rectangular. If necessary, the cross-sectional shape of the euro groove (311H-4, 311H-5) may have a specific shape as needed. Furthermore, the area of ​​the euro groove (311H-4, 311H-5) may be changed depending on the viscosity of the contents, thereby determining the discharge amount of the contents.

[0096] Furthermore, a downwardly concave flow path recess (312H-5) may be formed at the upper end of the nozzle insertion portion (310) of the orifice (300). The orifice flow path (P2) portion on the side where the flow path recess (312H-5) is formed may have a flow path (P) having a wider cross-sectional area than the orifice flow path (P2) portion in the first embodiment. Accordingly, the contents flowing along the flow path recess (312H-5) may have less energy loss.

[0097] At this time, the fifth embodiment illustrated in FIG. 5(a) illustrates a case where the euro groove (311H-4) is single, and the sixth embodiment illustrated in FIG. 5(b) illustrates a case where two euro grooves (311H-5) are formed, like the fifth embodiment, like the second embodiment.

[0098]

[0099] Fig. 6 is a cross-sectional view and an enlarged view of a contents container (1) and an orifice (300) according to another embodiment of the present invention. More specifically, Fig. 5 is a cross-sectional view of a contents container (1) and an orifice (300-6) according to a seventh embodiment of the present invention.

[0100] Referring to FIG. 6, an orifice (300-6) according to the seventh embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0101] The seventh embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that the through hole (321H-6) formed in the orifice (300-6) is a groove and the orifice (300-6) has a protrusion (360-6).

[0102] The through hole (321H-6) may be connected to the euro groove (311H-6) and may be an inwardly concave groove. Here, the hole may be understood to mean a groove. By connecting the through hole (321H-6) and the euro groove (311H-6), energy loss may be minimized while the contents flow from the through hole (321H-6) to the euro groove (311H-6).

[0103] At this time, a through hole (321H-6) can be formed in the tube facing portion (320-6) extending outward from the lower side of the nozzle insertion portion (310-6).

[0104] The orifice (300-6) may include a protrusion (360-6) that protrudes outward from the nozzle insertion portion (310-6). The protrusion (360-6) may seal a space between the inner surface of the nozzle neck (220) and the nozzle insertion portion (310-6). The protrusions (360-6) may be provided in multiple numbers and arranged vertically.

[0105]
