A rotating shaft body provided, an operation body that is rotatably mounted around the container axis with respect to the container body, and is stored in the container body in a state of being screwed to the rotating shaft body. There is known a feeding container provided with an inner dish for holding contents.

  The intermediate dish is accommodated so as to be rotatable about the container axis with respect to the container body and movable in the container axis direction, and is movable in the container axis direction in the container body as the rotating shaft body rotates. Therefore, by rotating the operating body, the inner dish can be moved in the container axial direction, and the contents can be used by protruding from the container body.

JP 2017-12725 A

  By the way, when using the contents, for example, when applying the contents, an application method according to the situation may be required. For example, when the contents are applied over a wide range, it is required to ensure a large contact area by, for example, bringing the contents into surface contact with the application target and efficiently apply a large amount of contents. . On the other hand, when the content is applied locally in a narrow range, the contact area is suppressed by, for example, bringing the corner of the content into contact with the application target, and a small amount of content is pinpointed. It is demanded to apply by.

  However, in the conventional feeding container, it is possible to arbitrarily change the protruding amount of the contents by rotating the operation body, but the aspect of the contents is changed according to the use etc. as described above. Diverse usage was not possible and there was room for improvement.

  This invention is made | formed in view of such a situation, The objective is to provide the feeding container which can perform various usages according to a use etc.

(1) A feeding container according to the present invention contains a cylindrical first content, and a content having a rod-shaped second content stored in a relatively non-rotatable manner inside the first content, A container body formed with a projecting opening for projecting the contents; a rotating body rotatable about the container axis with respect to the container body; and at least a portion disposed inside the container body; A first intermediate pan that holds the contents and moves in the container axial direction along with the rotation of the rotating body; and extends along the container axial direction; and around the container axis A screw shaft that is rotatably disposed, a second intermediate tray that holds the second contents and is screwed to the screw shaft, and around the container shaft with respect to the container body or the rotating body. An operation member mounted so as to be rotatable and movable in the container axial direction; The screw shaft is rotatable about the container shaft as the operation member rotates, and the operation member is detachably engaged with a first engagement portion formed on the rotating body. An engagement position where the first engagement portion and the second engagement portion engage with each other by movement in the container axial direction, and the first engagement portion and the first engagement portion. 2 It moves between the release positions where the engagement with the engagement portion is released.

  According to the feeding container according to the present invention, since the first intermediate dish and the second intermediate dish are provided, the entire contents (the first contents and the first contents) from the container body using these two intermediate dishes. 2 contents) or only the second contents can be used.

When projecting the entire contents, the operation member located at the engagement position is rotated around the container axis. As a result, the first engaging portion and the second engaging portion are engaged with each other, so that the rotating body can be rotated around the container axis along with the rotation of the operation member, and the rotating body can be rotated. Accordingly, the first intermediate dish can be moved upward along the container axial direction, for example. Therefore, for example, the first contents can be pushed up using the first middle dish, and the first contents can be projected outside the container body through the projecting opening.
Simultaneously with the movement of the first intermediate pan described above, the screw shaft can be rotated around the container shaft along with the rotation of the operation member. Then, although the second inner tray tries to rotate along with the rotation of the screw shaft, the second content held in the second inner tray is stored in the first content so as not to be relatively rotatable. The second inner tray is restricted from rotating around the container axis. Therefore, with the rotation of the screw shaft, the second middle dish can be moved upward along the container axis direction, for example, and the second contents can be pushed up using the second middle dish, for example. Thereby, a 2nd content can be made to protrude outside a container main body through a protrusion port.

  That is, by rotating the operation member located at the engagement position around the container axis, the first contents and the second contents are respectively moved in the container axis direction using the first and second dishes. The entire contents can be projected outward from the inside of the container body. In addition, by rotating the operation member in the opposite direction around the container axis, the first inner dish and the second inner dish can be moved downward along the container axis direction, for example, and the first contents and the second contents Can be returned into the container body.

  When only the second contents are projected, the operation member is moved in the container axial direction with respect to the container main body or the rotating body, and the operation member is shifted from the engagement position to the release position. Thereby, engagement with a 1st engaging part and a 2nd engaging part can be cancelled | released. Then, by rotating the operation member positioned at the release position around the container axis, the screw shaft can be rotated around the container axis as the operation member rotates. Thus, as in the case described above, the second inner plate can be moved upward, for example, along the container axis direction along with the rotation of the screw shaft, and only the second contents are projected outward from the container body. be able to. In addition, by rotating the operation member in the opposite direction around the container axis, the second inner tray can be moved downward along the container axis direction, for example, and the second contents can be returned into the container body.

  As described above, the entire contents can be protruded from the inside of the container body, or only the second contents can be protruded, and the mode can be arbitrarily changed. Can be used. Therefore, for example, when the contents are applied, it is easy to ensure a large contact area with respect to the application target by projecting the entire contents, so that a large amount of contents can be efficiently applied to the application target over a wide range. It can be applied well. On the other hand, since the contact area with respect to the application target can be suppressed by projecting only the second content, a small amount of the second content is applied pinpoint to a narrow range of the application target. Is possible.

(2) A guide hole extending in the container axial direction is formed in one of the container main body and the rotating body, and a spiral groove corresponding to the pitch of the thread groove in the screw shaft is formed in the other. The first intermediate plate may be formed with engagement protrusions that protrude outward in the radial direction and engage with the guide hole and the spiral groove, respectively.

  In this case, since the rotating body rotates around the container axis, the spiral groove and the guide hole rotate relative to each other around the container axis, so that the engaged protrusion follows the guide hole while being along the spiral groove. Can be moved in the container axis direction. Therefore, the first middle dish can be moved in the container axis direction smoothly with little rattling. Accordingly, the first contents can be smoothly projected from the protruding opening, and the second contents stored inside the first contents can be smoothly protruded from the protruding opening. Further, since the spiral groove corresponds to the pitch of the screw groove on the screw shaft, the amount of movement of the first intermediate plate in the container axis direction with respect to the rotation amount of the operation member and the second intermediate plate with respect to the rotation amount of the operation member The amount of movement in the container axial direction can be made equal. Accordingly, the first contents and the second contents can be projected from the projecting port in a synchronized state, and the first contents and the second contents can be used in a balanced manner.

(3) The screw shaft is connected to the operation member via a connection member that is detachably combined with the operation member in the container axis direction, and the operation member is connected to the container body or the rotating body. The screw shaft, the second intermediate plate, and the connecting member are detachably mounted in the container axial direction with respect to the first intermediate plate and the rotating body. Also good.

  In this case, in the assembly of the feeding container, the assembly of the screw shaft, the second intermediate plate and the connecting member and the assembly of the container main body, the first intermediate plate and the rotating body can be performed separately. Then, the screw shaft, the second intermediate plate, and the connecting member combined together are inserted and combined inside the first intermediate plate combined with the container body and the inside of the rotating body, and finally the operation member is connected. The delivery container can be assembled by attaching to the container main body or the rotating body while being combined with the members. Therefore, the feeding container can be efficiently assembled, and the feeding container can be made to reduce the manufacturing cost and improve the mass productivity.

(4) The protruding port is formed to open toward one side in the container axial direction, and the operation member can be detached from the container main body or the rotating body from the other side in the container axial direction. It may be attached to.

  In this case, since the operation member and the projecting port can be arranged apart from each other in the container axial direction, for example, while gripping a part of the container body located between the projecting port and the operation member, Operations (movement operation and rotation operation) can be performed, and it is easy to provide good operability.

  According to the feeding container according to the present invention, the entire contents can be protruded from the container main body, or only the second contents can be protruded. Therefore, it can be set as the feeding container which is easy to use and excellent in convenience.

Has been. Hereinafter, this common axis is referred to as the container axis O, the operation member 7 along the container axis O is referred to as the lower side (the other side in the container axis O direction), and the opposite side is referred to as the upper side (one side in the container axis O direction). Further, in a plan view viewed from the container axis O direction, a direction orthogonal to the container axis O is referred to as a radial direction, and a direction around the container axis O is referred to as a circumferential direction.

The content C is a cylindrical first content C1 that extends along the container axis O direction, and a stick-like shape that is accommodated inside the first content C1 so as not to be relatively rotatable and extends along the container axis O direction. (Bar-shaped) second contents C2.
The contents C are not particularly limited, and examples thereof include cosmetics, chemicals, adhesives, etc., and these are formed (molded) to such an extent that the shape can be maintained, such as semi-solid or solid. Just do it. Moreover, the 1st content C1 and the 2nd content C2 may be formed with the same material, and may be formed with a different material.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the first content C1 is formed in a cylindrical shape whose outer shape (outer peripheral shape) is circular and whose inner shape (inner peripheral shape) is elliptical in a cross-sectional view. Has been. The second content C2 extends over the entire length of the first content C1, and is formed in an elliptical shape in cross section corresponding to the inner shape of the first content C1. Thus, using the difference in shape between the first contents C1 and the second contents C2, the second contents C2 cannot rotate around the container axis O with respect to the first contents C1. It is stored in C1.

However, the shape of the second content C2 is not limited to the elliptical shape in the cross-sectional view, and may be, for example, a hexagonal shape or other polygonal shape in the cross-sectional view, and may be a non-circular shape. In this case, the inner shape of the first content C1 may be formed corresponding to the shape of the second content C2.
Further, the shape of the second content C2 is not limited to a non-circular shape, and for example, the second content C2 is formed in a circular shape in a cross-sectional view, and the first content C1 formed in a cylindrical shape is formed. It may be stored inside. In this case, for example, the second content is placed inside the first content C1 in a state in which the inner peripheral surface of the first content C1 and the outer peripheral surface of the second content C2 are in sliding contact with a predetermined sliding resistance. What is necessary is just to store the thing C2. Even in this case, it is possible to suppress the relative rotation of the first contents C1 and the second contents C2 around the container axis O by using sliding resistance.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the container main body 2 includes a cylindrical outer container 10 extending along the container axis O direction, and a cylindrical inner container 11 disposed inside the outer container 10. And.
The inside of the upper end opening of the outer container 10 is a protruding opening 12 that opens upward and causes the contents C to protrude outward. In addition, you may make the outer container 10 function as a decorative cylinder by decorating the outer peripheral surface of the outer container 10 by printing, marking, etc., for example.

  The inner container 11 is integrally combined with the inner side of the outer container 10 by fitting, adhesion, welding, or the like by press fitting or the like. The upper end portion of the inner container 11 is located below the protruding port 12, and a certain gap is formed in the container axis O direction between the upper end portion of the inner container 11 and the protruding port 12. The lower end portion of the inner container 11 is located above the lower end portion of the outer container 10. Accordingly, the outer container 10 extends below the inner container 11, and the lower end portion thereof is positioned below the lower end portion of the inner container 11.

  A guide hole 13 that is recessed outward in the radial direction is formed along the container axis O direction on the inner peripheral surface of the inner container 11. In the illustrated example, the guide holes 13 are formed over substantially the entire length of the inner container 11, are formed in a vertically long slit shape, and are formed in a pair so as to face the radial direction across the container axis O. The guide hole 13 is formed to open upward. This makes it possible to insert an engaged protrusion 42 described later into the guide hole 13 from above.

The cylindrical body 31 is externally fitted to the upper cylindrical portion 21 with the regulating rib 25 engaged in the regulating groove 33. Thereby, the regulation rib 25 and the regulation groove 33 are engaged with each other in the circumferential direction. Therefore, the rotating cylinder part 20 and the support cylinder part 30 are combined in a state where they are prevented from rotating together.

  The elastic cylinder part 32 is formed so as to slightly increase in diameter as it goes upward from the upper end part of the cylinder 31, and the upper end part is an inner peripheral surface at the lower end part of the outer container 10 by using its own elastic force. It is pressed from the inside in the radial direction over the entire circumference. Thereby, the support cylinder part 30 can be rotated around the container axis | shaft O in the state which the upper end part pressed against the lower end part of the outer container 10 from the radial inside. Therefore, the rotating body 3 is supported by the support cylinder portion 30 so that the rotation around the container axis O is stabilized even if an annular gap is formed between the upper cylinder portion 21 and the inner container 11. .

  The upper end portion of the elastic cylinder portion 32 is close to the lower end portion of the inner container 11. Thereby, the whole rotary body 3 is combined with the container main body 2 so as to be rotatable around the container axis O in a state in which it is prevented from coming off upward. As described above, since the rotating body 3 is also prevented from coming down downward by the engaging projection 23, as a result, the rotating body 3 is combined with the container body 2 while being positioned in the container axis O direction. .

  The outer operation part 70 includes an outer cylinder part 72 that surrounds a portion of the outer cylinder part 34 located below the flange part 35 from the radially outer side, and an outer bottom wall part 73 that closes the lower end opening of the outer cylinder part 72. And. The outer cylinder part 72 is fitted to a portion of the outer cylinder part 34 located below the flange part 35 so as to be rotatable around the container axis O and movable in the container axis O direction.

  The inner operation part 71 surrounds the lower cylinder part 22 of the rotating body 3 and the connecting cylinder part 63 of the connecting member 8 from the outside in the radial direction, and has an inner cylinder part 74 fitted inside the outer cylinder part 72, and an inner cylinder. And an inner bottom wall portion 75 that closes the lower end opening of the portion 74. The inner operation unit 71 is combined with the outer operation unit 70 so that it cannot rotate relative to the outer operation unit 70 and cannot move relative to the container axis O.

An engagement rib (second engagement portion) 76 that protrudes radially inward is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the inner cylinder portion 74. The engaging ribs 76 are formed in a vertically long slit shape extending along the container axis O direction, and a plurality of the engaging ribs 76 are formed at intervals in the circumferential direction.
In the illustrated example, a plurality of engagement ribs 76 are formed corresponding to the number of the first engagement grooves 27 and the second engagement grooves 64, and the engagement ribs 76 are formed in the first engagement grooves 27 and the second engagement grooves 64. It is detachably engaged in the container axis O direction. Accordingly, when the operation member 7 is combined with the outer cylindrical portion 34 from below when the feeding container 1 is assembled, the engagement ribs 76 are inserted into the first engagement groove 27 and the second engagement groove 64 from below. It is possible to insert continuously.

  Further, since the engagement rib 76 is detachably engaged in the container axis O direction in the first engagement groove 27, the operation member 7 is moved in the container axis O direction with respect to the outer tubular portion 34. 1 and 2, the engagement position P1 where the first engagement groove 27 and the engagement rib 76 engage with each other, and the first engagement groove 27 and the engagement rib 76 as shown in FIG. The operation member 7 can be moved between the release position P2 where the engagement with the release position P2 is released.

  In the present embodiment, except when the feeding container 1 is assembled, the second engagement groove 64 and the engagement rib 76 are engaged so as not to be easily separated. Therefore, after the assembly of the feeding container 1 is completed, the connecting member 8 is movable in the container axis O direction along with the operation member 7. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4, when the operation member 7 is moved downward from the engagement position P1 and is positioned at the release position P2, the connecting member 8 is similarly moved downward. Thereby, the second engagement groove 64 and the engagement rib 76 are always engaged with each other regardless of the position of the operation member 7.

  Accordingly, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, when the operation member 7 is located at the engagement position P <b> 1, the engagement rib 76 is in contact with both the first engagement groove 27 and the second engagement groove 64. When the operation member 7 is located at the release position P2 as shown in FIG. 4, the engagement rib 76 engages only with the second engagement groove 64.

  Accordingly, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the operating member 7 is rotated around the container axis O with respect to the outer tube 34 at the engagement position P1, so that the rotating body 3 and the connecting member 7 are connected together with the operating member 7. The member 8 can be rotated around the container axis O. Further, as shown in FIG. 4, at the release position P <b> 2, the operation member 7 is rotated around the container axis O with respect to the outer cylindrical portion 34, so that the connecting member 8 is rotated around the container axis O along with the operation member 7. It can be rotated.

  Since the connecting member 8 rotates around the container axis O while the guide tube portion 61 is guided by the regulating ring 28, the connecting member 8 rotates smoothly with little backlash. Further, even when the connecting member 8 moves in the direction of the container axis O along with the operation member 7, the connecting member 8 moves while being guided by the restriction ring 28, and thus moves smoothly with little rattling. To do.

As shown in FIG. 2, an annular protrusion 80 is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the guide tube portion 61 so as to come into contact with the inner peripheral edge portion of the restriction ring 28 from above when the operation member 7 is located at the engagement position P1. In addition, when the operating member 7 is located at the release position P2, a stepped portion 81 is formed on the inner peripheral edge of the regulating ring 28 from above.
The annular protrusion 80 is formed so as to slightly protrude from the outer peripheral surface of the guide tube portion 61 toward the radially outer side. Thereby, it can suppress that the guide cylinder part 61 moves easily toward the downward direction, and can position the operation member 7 in the engagement position P1.

  Further, when the operation member 7 is positioned at the release position P2, the step portion 81 is locked from above with respect to the guide cylinder portion 61, so that further downward movement of the operation member 7 can be restricted. It is. Thereby, the operation member 7 can be positioned at the release position P2.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the feeding container 1 of the present embodiment includes an overcap 85 that covers the container body 2 and the protruding port 12 from above.
The overcap 85 is formed in a top tube shape that is disposed coaxially with the container axis O, and is detachably mounted on a portion of the outer tube portion 34 that is located above the flange portion 35.

  In the feeding container 1 configured as described above, the operation member 7 is detachably attached to the outer cylindrical portion 34 as described above, but the screw shaft 5 and the second middle tray 6 are further mounted. The connecting member 8 is combined with the first inner plate 4 and the rotating body 3 so as to be detachable in the container axis O direction. Therefore, the feeding container 1 can be assembled efficiently. This will be described later.

(Operation of feeding container)
The case where the contents C are used using the feeding container 1 configured as described above will be described. Note that the operation member 7 is in a state of being located at the engagement position P1 as shown in FIGS.

  According to the feeding container 1 of the present embodiment, since the first middle dish 4 and the second middle dish 6 are provided, the entire contents C (from the inside of the container body 2) using these two middle dishes ( Various usages such as projecting the first content C1 and the second content C2) or projecting only the second content C2 can be performed.

  When the entire contents C are projected, after removing the overcap 85 from the state shown in FIG. 1, for example, while holding the outer container 10 of the container body 2, the engagement position P <b> 1 is reached as shown in FIG. 5. The positioned operation member 7 is rotated around the container axis O with respect to the outer cylinder portion 34.

Thereby, since the first engagement groove 27 and the engagement rib 76 are engaged with each other, the rotating body 3 can be rotated around the container axis O along with the rotation of the operation member 7. Then, since the rotating body 3 rotates with respect to the container body 2, the inner container 11 in which the guide hole 13 is formed and the upper cylindrical portion 21 in which the spiral groove 24 is formed rotate relatively around the container axis O. Therefore, the engaged protrusion 42 can be moved upward along the guide hole 13 along the spiral groove 24.
Accordingly, the first middle dish 4 can be moved upward from the lowest position as the rotating body 3 rotates, and the first contents C1 can be pushed up using the first middle dish 4. Thereby, the 1st content C1 can be protruded upwards from the inside of the container main body 2 through the protrusion port 12. FIG.

  In addition, since the engaged protrusion 42 moves along the spiral groove 24 and the guide hole 13 when the first middle dish 4 moves upward, the first middle dish 4 can be moved smoothly with little rattling. The first contents C1 can be smoothly projected from the container body 2.

Further, since the second engagement groove 64 and the engagement rib 76 are engaged with each other, the connection member 8 is moved around the container axis O along with the rotation of the operation member 7 simultaneously with the upward movement of the first inner tray 4. Can be rotated. Thereby, the screw shaft 5 can be rotated around the container shaft O along with the connecting member 8. Then, the second inner tray 6 tries to rotate along with the rotation of the screw shaft 5, but the second content C2 held by the second inner tray 6 cannot be relatively rotated in the first content C1. Since it is stored, the rotation of the second inner tray 6 around the container axis O is restricted.
Accordingly, the second middle dish 6 can be moved upward from the lowest position as the connecting member 8 rotates, and the second contents C2 can be pushed up using the second middle dish 6. Thereby, the 2nd content C2 can be protruded upwards from the inside of the container main body 2 through the protrusion port 12. FIG.

  When the second inner tray 6 is moved upward, the guide cylinder portion 61 rotates while being guided by the regulating ring 28, so that the second inner tray 6 can be moved smoothly with little rattling, and the second contents C2 can be smoothly projected from the inside of the container body 2. In addition, as described above, since the first content C1 can be smoothly projected, the second content C2 housed inside the first content C1 can also be smoothly projected. .

  As described above, by rotating the operation member 7 positioned at the engagement position P1 around the container axis O, the first contents C1 and the first contents C1 and the second dish 6 are utilized by using the first middle dish 4 and the second middle dish 6. The two contents C2 can be pushed up respectively, and the entire contents C can be protruded upward from the inside of the container main body 2.

  In addition, by rotating the operation member 7 in the opposite direction around the container axis O, the first inner dish 4 and the second inner dish 6 can be moved downward along the container axis O direction, and the first contents C1. And the 2nd content C2 can be returned in the container main body 2, respectively.

  Next, when only the second content C2 is projected, after removing the overcap 85 from the state shown in FIG. 1, the operating member 7 is moved downward with respect to the outer cylinder 34 as shown in FIG. Thus, the operation member 7 is moved from the engagement position P1 to the release position P2. At this time, the operating member 7 is moved downward while gripping the outer container 10 of the container body 2 or the portion of the outer cylinder portion 34 located above the collar portion 35.

  By moving the operating member 7 to the release position P2, the engagement rib 76 can be detached from the first engagement groove 27, so that the engagement between the first engagement groove 27 and the engagement rib 76 is released. can do. As described above, since the second engagement groove 64 and the engagement rib 76 are engaged with each other so as not to be easily disengaged, the connection member 8 is moved downward as the operation member 7 is moved downward. Can be made.

Thereby, the connection member 8, the screw shaft 5, the second inner plate 6 and the second contents C2 can be moved downward along with the operation member 7. When the connecting member 8 moves downward, the annular projection 80 formed on the guide tube portion 61 gets over the restriction ring 28 and the stepped portion 81 is locked to the upper surface of the restriction ring 28 from above.
Thereby, it can restrict | limit that the connection member 8 moves below further, and can position the operation member 7 in the cancellation | release position P2.

  Next, for example, while holding the outer container 10 of the container body 2, the operation member 7 positioned at the release position P <b> 2 is rotated around the container axis O as shown in FIG. 6. Thereby, since the second engagement groove 64 and the engagement rib 76 are engaged with each other, the connection member 8 can be rotated around the container axis O along with the rotation of the operation member 7. Therefore, similarly to the case described above, the screw shaft 5 can be rotated around the container axis O, and the second inner plate 6 can be moved upward from the lowest position as the screw shaft 5 rotates. As a result, the second contents C2 can be pushed up using the second inner tray 6, and only the second contents C2 can be protruded upward from the container body 2 through the protrusion 12.

  In addition, by rotating the operation member 7 in the opposite direction around the container axis O, the second inner tray 6 can be moved downward along the container axis O direction, and the second content C2 is placed in the container body 2. Can be returned.

  As described above, according to the feeding container 1 of the present embodiment, the entire contents C can be protruded from the container main body 2 or only the second contents C2 can be protruded. Since it can be changed, it can be used in various ways depending on the application.

For example, when the content C is applied, it is easy to ensure a large contact area with respect to the application target by protruding the entire content C as shown in FIG. C can be efficiently applied over a wide range. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 6, by projecting only the second content C2, the contact area with respect to the application target can be suppressed, so that a small amount of the second content is included in a narrow range of the application target. C2 can be pinpointed.
Thus, since various usages according to a use etc. can be performed, it can be set as the feeding container 1 which was easy to use and excellent in convenience.

  Further, since the spiral groove 24 corresponds to the pitch of the screw groove on the screw shaft 5, the amount of movement of the first intermediate dish 4 in the container axis O direction relative to the amount of rotation of the operation member 7 and the amount of rotation of the operation member 7. The amount of movement of the second inner tray 6 in the direction of the container axis O can be made equal. Accordingly, when the entire content C is projected, as shown in FIG. 5, the first content C1 and the second content C2 can be projected in a synchronized state, and the first content C1 and the second content C2 It is easy to use the contents C2 with good balance.

  Further, since the operation member 7 is disposed on the opposite side of the container port O direction from the protrusion port 12, the protrusion port 12 and the operation member 7 can be disposed apart from each other in the container axis O direction. Therefore, for example, since the operation member 7 can be stably operated while gripping the outer container 10 disposed between the protruding port 12 and the operation member 7, the operation member 7 can be easily moved and rotated. Operability can be provided.

  Further, when the first contents C1 and the second contents C2 are formed of different materials, the first contents C1 and the second contents C2 are projected from the container body 2 as shown in FIG. For example, the first contents C1 and the second contents C2 can be used while being mixed. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 6, by projecting the second content C2 from the container body 2, it is possible to use only the second content C2 without using the first content C1. it can. In this way, it is possible to perform further various uses.

  After the positioning of the first unit 90 and the second unit 91, the operation member 7 is finally attached to the outer cylinder portion 34 from below and set. At this time, the engaging rib 76 is inserted into the second engaging groove 64 from below, and then inserted into the first engaging groove 27 from below, so that the outer cylinder is combined with the operation member 7 with the connecting member 8. It can be attached to the part 34. As a result, the feeding container 1 shown in FIG. 1 can be obtained.

  As described above, after assembling the first unit 90 and the second unit 91 separately, the second unit 91 is set in the first unit 90, and finally, the operation member 7 is mounted. The container 1 can be assembled. Therefore, it can be set as the delivery container 1 which leads to reduction of manufacturing cost and improvement of mass productivity.

  The technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

For example, in the above-described embodiment, the connection member 8, the screw shaft 5, the second inner plate 6 and the second content C2 are configured to move downward as the operation member 7 moves downward. However, the present invention is limited to this case. Instead of this, only the operation member 7 may be moved downward.
In this case, the engagement rib 76 may be configured to move along the second engagement groove 64 when the operation member 7 is moved in the container axis O direction. In this way, when the operation member 7 is positioned at the release position P2, it is possible to prevent the second content C2 from being lowered once. Can be projected.

In the above embodiment, the operation member 7 is attached to the outer tube portion 34 of the rotating body 3. However, the present invention is not limited to this case, and the operation member 7 may be attached to the container body 2.
For example, the outer cylinder portion 34 may be omitted, and the operation member 7 may be mounted on the outer container 10 of the container body 2 so as to be rotatable around the container axis O and movable in the container axis O direction. Even in this case, the same effect can be achieved.

Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the operation member 7 was comprised by the outer side operation part 70 and the inner side operation part 71, the inner side operation part 71 is not essential and does not need to be provided. In this case, the engagement rib 76 may be formed so as to protrude radially inward from the inner peripheral surface of the outer cylindrical portion 72. Even in this case, the same effect can be achieved.
Note that the engaging rib 76 may be omitted, and the connecting cylinder portion 63 of the connecting member 8 and the operation member 7 may be formed integrally or combined together. Even in this case, the connection member 8 and the screw shaft 5 can be rotated with the rotation of the operation member 7, and the connection member 8 and the screw shaft 5 are moved with the movement of the operation member 7 in the container axis O direction.
