Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a lifting jig which is mounted on a processing liquid container which is composed of a flexible container body and a hard mouth protruding upward from the container body.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, high-density polyethylene (HD) has been used as a processing liquid container for a photosensitive material processing device such as an automatic developing device.
PE, polyvinyl chloride resin (PVC), polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and other single layer materials, or nylon / polyethylene (NY / PE) multilayer materials such as blow molding or injection blow molding, which have rigidity Liquid containers were used. This emphasizes the independence of the container, the suitability for filling the liquid in the factory or the suitability for injecting the liquid into the processing tank to make it easy for the user to use, and also the un regulation (export dangerous goods transportation regulation, that is, falling at -18 ° C). This is to ensure the strength that can deal with the legal regulations that take strength into account) and regulations on the transportation of poisonous substances.

However, in the conventional processing liquid container having rigidity, the shape of the container is maintained even after the contents have been discharged and emptied due to its rigidity, which is why after the user uses it. There was a problem that it was difficult to crush when disposing and it was inconvenient to collect.

In order to improve such problems, recently, various flexible containers mainly made of resin such as low density polyethylene (LDPE) have been developed. The inventors have also developed a container of this type and have previously proposed it (Japanese Patent Application No. 5-30664).

[0005]

In addition to the above-mentioned request for improving the efficiency of the recovery surface, in order to contribute to environmental problems by minimizing the amount of heat generated when incinerating after disposal, it is necessary to further improve the efficiency of the processing liquid container. It is desired to reduce the wall thickness.

However, when the thinning is advanced, there is a problem at the time of injecting the liquid such that when the container for the processing liquid is opened and tilted, the so-called neck is broken, and when the container is strongly held, the liquid in the interior is ejected. .

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a treatment liquid which facilitates handling at the time of injecting it when using a soft / thin-walled treatment liquid container. To provide a jig for lifting containers.

[0008]

The invention according to claim 1 is
A lifting jig to be mounted on a processing liquid container having a flexible container body and a hard mouth protruding upward from the container body, and having at least one narrow portion in a part thereof. A support body provided with a handle at a part in the longitudinal direction, and extending from the support body substantially orthogonally to the longitudinal direction, and fitted into the narrow portion and at least sandwiching the narrow portion portion. And one sandwiching portion.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a processing liquid comprising a container body having flexibility and a hard mouth portion projecting upward from the container body, and having at least one narrow portion in a part thereof. A lifting jig to be attached to a container, the support having a handle provided in a part of its longitudinal direction, and the support extending from the support at substantially right angles to the longitudinal direction and fitted to the narrow portion. However, it has at least one sandwiching portion that sandwiches the narrow portion, and a supporting portion that is provided on the support and that supports the vicinity of the bottom of the processing liquid container.

[0010]

According to the invention as set forth in claim 1, the holding portion of the lifting jig is fitted into the narrow portion of the processing liquid container to hold the narrow portion and the opening portion is held to open the stopper. To do. Then, by holding the handle and lifting, the processing liquid container can be lifted together with the lifting jig. As a result, it is possible to prevent the liquid from splashing when lifting. Also, bring the whole upside down in the lifted state, start the liquid injection work while supporting the lower side of the processing liquid container with your hands, and gradually gradually decrease the total amount of the processing liquid in the processing liquid container. When approaching the inverted state, the weight of the entire processing liquid container, including the internal processing liquid, is gradually lightening, so the liquid injection work can be performed without the processing liquid container lifting off the jig. .

In particular, when there are two or more holding parts, the processing liquid container can be held by the respective holding parts. Therefore, the self-supporting property becomes high when the lifting jig is mounted, and the self-supporting property by itself. Even if the processing liquid container is formed so thin that it does not exist, the liquid injection work can be performed without fear of liquid scattering.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, the vicinity of the bottom of the processing liquid container is supported by the supporting portion of the lifting jig, and the holding portion is fitted in the narrow portion of the processing liquid container. Then, after opening the stopper, the operator can carry out the liquid injection work in the same manner as in the first aspect of the invention by holding the handle and lifting it. In this case, since the processing liquid container is held by the two portions of the holding portion and the supporting portion provided at different positions in the longitudinal direction of the support, the self-supporting property becomes high when the lifting jig is mounted, Even if the processing liquid container is formed so thin as to have no self-sustainability by itself, the liquid injection work can be performed without fear of liquid scattering.

B, 28A, 28B, 30A, 30B, 32A, 32
B, 34A, 34B are formed.

First to fourth annular recesses 36, 38, 4
The outer diameter dimensions of 0 and 42 are the first to fifth annular convex portions 26,
It is desirable that the diameter is 85% or less, preferably 40 to 75%, and more preferably 50 to 75% with respect to the diameter dimension of the maximum diameter portion of 28, 30, 32, and 34. This is to improve the folding efficiency and effectively prevent the container body 22 from returning to its original shape when the bellows portion 50 is compressed and the volume of the container body 22 is reduced after the internal liquid is discharged.

Here, the volume reduction of the container means the volume reduction.
The pressure depends on the size of the container, but
Is 1 to 20 kg / cm², More preferably 5-10 kg
/ Cm²Therefore, it is preferable for a container with a volume of 1 liter or more.
More preferably 3 to 20 kg / cm ², And more preferably 5 to 1
0 kg / cm²It refers to a material that can be reduced in volume with moderate pressure.

A, 32B, 34A, and 34B improve the folding efficiency when the bellows portion 50 is compressed to reduce the volume of the container body 22, and at the same time, are pressed firmly to make it difficult to return to the original shape. It is formed. In order to achieve this object, these R parts are 5R or more, preferably 15R to 6R.
It is desirable to set it to 0R, more preferably 15R to 40R.

It should be noted that a label or the like for indicating the kind of contents, the method of using the internal processing liquid, the precautions for handling the container, or the like is attached to the R portion 26A, or printed with ink. Or you may display it by engraving,
In this case, the displayed contents can be confirmed from the top and the side, which is convenient.

At the bottom of the fifth annular projection 34, a recess 44 is formed.
Is formed, which improves the stability when the processing liquid container 20 is erected.

In the processing liquid container 20, the thickness of the container main body 22 is so thin that the container body 22 loses its independence in an empty state. Therefore, in order to store and transport the processing liquid container 20, it is desirable to make the following various measures.

That is, when the photographic processing liquid is put in the processing liquid container 20 and stored in a warehouse, it is necessary to store the photographic processing liquid in a cardboard box having a certain strength or more. The safety factor must be 5 or more. In the case of photographic processing liquids, the number of stacking boxes is approximately determined depending on the type of processing liquid. In this case, inside a corrugated cardboard box that is strong enough to withstand a load 5 times the maximum allowable load. It is desirable to save in.

Further, when a plurality of processing liquid containers 20 having the same shape or the same height are packed in a box, a board 92 having holes larger than the cap 48 at predetermined intervals is provided as shown in FIG. , Cardboard box 90 for processing liquid container 2
After packing a plurality of 0's, insert them from above and insert them into the processing liquid container 20.
May be prevented from being displaced. As a result, scratches during transportation can be prevented, and packing can be improved.

Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 5, the corrugated cardboard boxes 90 are raised at predetermined intervals so that the annular projections of the processing liquid containers 20 adjacent to each other are fitted to each other to prevent misalignment. It may be prevented. However, in this case, it is easier to take out the processing liquid container 20 from the left and right sides in FIG. 5 or from the direction orthogonal to the paper surface.

Further, in order to set a cardboard box containing a plurality of processing liquid containers 20 (three in FIG. 6) at predetermined positions in the automatic mixing and replenishing device, as shown in FIG. The center of the inner lid (which has a thin wall) 114 attached to the mouth 24 of the opening 112 provided in the automatic mixing and supplementing device 110 so that the processing liquid container 20 is upside down. Set in the state of matching. In this case, since the processing liquid container 20 is formed thin enough to lose its self-sustaining property, the internal processing liquid naturally drops through the liquid passage 112A formed in the shaft core of the opening stopper 112, and As the amount of the treatment liquid decreases, the bellows portion 50 contracts, and the treatment liquid spontaneously drops to the end, so that there is almost no residual liquid.

As shown in FIG. 2, the mouth portion 24 is formed in a substantially cylindrical shape, and a flange portion 46 having a hexagonal cross section is provided at an intermediate portion in the vertical direction (height direction) thereof. A narrow portion 24B is formed immediately below the portion 46. The mouth portion 24 is integrally formed with the container body 22 by blow molding. At this time, since the diameter of the mouth portion 24 is smaller than that of the container body 22, the mouth portion 24 is thicker than the container body 22. It can be formed, which is why the mouth 24 is formed to be rigid to some extent.

A male screw portion 24A is formed on the outer periphery of the upper end portion of the mouth portion 24, and a hard cap 4 having a female screw portion which is screwed to the male screw portion 24A is formed on the inner wall thereof.
8 is screwed to open and close the upper opening of the mouth portion 24.

The cap 48 is formed of polypropylene or high density polyethylene (HDPE), for example. Here, as the high-density polyethylene, for example, one having a density larger than 0.940 g / cc, preferably 0.
More than 940 g / cc and 0.98 g / cc or less, more preferably 0.945 g / cc to 0.97 g / cc can be used.

The processing liquid container 20 is filled with the processing liquid (the specific contents of which will be described later) when the gas barrier property is required, by changing the material and the raw material used. A barrier property can be easily provided. For example, among photographic processing liquids, when it is formed for a liquid requiring a high O ₂ barrier property such as a developing liquid, low density polyethylene / polyvinyl alcohol / ethylene copolymer / low density polyethylene (LD
PE / EVOH / LDPE) three-layer structure, low-density polyethylene / nylon (LDPE / NY) two-layer structure and other low-density polyethylene-based multi-layer structure with a gas barrier property of 25 ml / m ²・ day ・ a
tm (20 ° C. 65%) or less, preferably 0.5 to 10
ml / m ² · day · atm (20 ° C. 65%).

On the other hand, when the processing liquid container 20 is formed for a liquid which does not necessarily need an O ₂ barrier property, such as a fixing liquid, a low density polyethylene (LDP) is used.
E) Simple substance or ethylene / vinyl acetate copolymer resin (E
VA: In this case, those having a density exceeding 0.940 g / cc can be used). Here, as the low-density polyethylene, a density of 0.940 g / cc or less,
Preferably 0.90 g / cc to 0.940 g / cc, more preferably 0.905 g / cc to 0.925 g / cc
Can be used. Liquid container 1 in this case
The gas barrier property of 0 is 50 ml / m ² · day · at
m (20 ° C. 65%), for example, 100 to 5000 ml /
It may be m ² · day · atm (20 ° C., 65%).

Next, the first book constructed as described above
The operation of the embodiment will be described. First, the first holding claw 16 of the lifting jig 10 is fitted into the first annular recess 36 and the second holding claw 18 is fitted into the fourth annular recess 42 from the side of the processing liquid container 20. To combine. This first clamping claw 16
When the second holding claw 18 and the second holding claw 18 are fitted together, the container body 22 is deformed to some extent due to its flexibility, so that these fittings are relatively easy. Since the main body 22 returns to its original shape by the liquid pressure of the processing liquid inside, the first and second holding claws 16, 1 are
8, the first annular recess 36 portion and the fourth annular recess 4
The two parts are sandwiched, whereby the lifting jig 10 is mounted and fixed to the processing liquid container 20.

The state after this mounting is shown in FIG.
In this state of FIG. 3, hold the flange portion 46 and hold the cap 4
8 is rotated, the cap 48 is removed and the stopper is opened, and the handle 14 is lifted (in this case, the third annular protrusion 30 is slightly deformed), and the processing liquid container 20 is lifted by the jig 10. Can be lifted together. This allows
Liquid splash can be prevented when lifting. In addition, the whole processing liquid container 2 is brought upside down in the lifted state.
Start the liquid injection work while supporting the lower side of 0 by hand, and gradually bring the whole into an inverted state as the amount of the processing liquid in the processing liquid container 20 decreases. Since the weight of the entire container 20 is gradually reduced, the liquid injection work can be performed without the processing liquid container 20 coming off the lifting jig 10.

In the first embodiment, when the cap 48 is removed, the internal pressure of the processing liquid container 20 decreases and the self-supporting property deteriorates. However, in the first embodiment, the support 12 can secure the self-supporting property to some extent. It is like this.

Although the lifting jig 10 is made of a metal member in the first embodiment, the lifting jig 10 may be made of another material such as plastic.

Further, a detachable spout hose may be attached to the processing liquid container 20 in order to make handling of the liquid injection easier. As shown in FIG. 7, the spout hose 52 has a large inner diameter on the base end side and a gradually decreasing inner diameter on the front end side, and a bellows portion 52A is formed at an intermediate portion in the longitudinal direction. , It is desirable that this part is bendable. By using such a spout 52, it is possible to inject the treatment liquid even when the opening area of the treatment liquid replenishment tank is considerably small.

Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. The lifting jig 60 according to the second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, is a bottom plate 62 as a support part made of a substantially square plate having a circular recess 64 formed in the center, and a bottom plate 62 of the bottom plate 62. A support body 68 made of a metal rod, which is provided at one end portion (the right end portion in FIG. 8) so as to project upward and has a substantially semicircular handle 66 formed at an intermediate portion in the longitudinal direction, and the support body 68. The upper end portion has a holding claw 70 as a holding portion that extends parallel to the bottom plate 62 toward the side opposite to the handle 66.

The diameter of the recess 64 of the bottom plate 62 is equal to that of the liquid container 2
It is made slightly larger than the bottom surface of 0 so that the vicinity of the bottom of the liquid container 20 can be settled.

The support 68 has one end (the lower end in FIG. 8) embedded in the bottom plate 62, and the other end (the upper end in FIG. 8) has a bent end portion 68A bent at a right angle in a direction substantially opposite to the direction of the handle 66. Has been formed.

The holding claw 70 has a substantially two-third arc shape similar to the first holding claw 16 in the first embodiment, and has a container 20 for liquid.
The narrow portion 24B under the flange portion 46 of (see FIGS. 2 and 8)
The inner diameter is approximately the same as the outer diameter. The center position of the holding claw 70 is also welded to the bent end portion 68A.

Next, the operation of the second embodiment will be described. The liquid container 20 is placed on the bottom plate 62 in a state where the vicinity of the bottom of the liquid container 20 is engaged in the recess 64, and the holding claw 70 is fitted to the narrow portion 24B below the flange portion 46. The narrow portion 24B is sandwiched, and the liquid container 20 is lifted and set on the jig 60. This set state is shown in FIG. In the state of FIG. 8, the flange 48 is turned to rotate the cap 48, the cap 48 is removed and opened, and the handle 66 is lifted to lift the processing liquid container 20 together with the lifting jig 60. be able to. As a result, it is possible to prevent the liquid from splashing when lifting. In addition, the whole is brought upside down in the lifted state, the liquid injection work is started while supporting the lower side of the processing liquid container 20 by hand, and the entire processing liquid container 20 gradually decreases as the processing liquid in the processing liquid container 20 decreases. When approaching the inverted state, the weight of the entire processing liquid container 20 including the internal processing liquid is gradually reduced.
It is possible to perform the liquid injection work without coming off.

In the case of the second embodiment, the holding claw 7
Since 0 is fitted to the narrow portion 24B below the flange portion 46, the entire mouth portion 24 including the narrow portion 24B has the same size and the same shape regardless of the kind of the processing liquid. It is possible to deal with various types of processing liquid containers with one lifting jig 60. In this case, if the number of threads of the male screw portion 24A and the length of the screw portion are unified, the cap 48 can be shared and the cost can be reduced by mass production of the cap. However, since it is necessary to distinguish the processing liquid inside, some kind of display is necessary, and the display method as described in the first embodiment may be used. For example, depending on the type of contents in the cap or the container body itself. Coloring (preferably a method of mixing some colorant into the material at the stage of blow molding) is more preferable because the contents can be distinguished at a glance.

When the mouth portion is shared, it is preferable that the inner diameter of the mouth portion is in the range of 15φ to 25φ.
More preferably, it is in the range of 8φ to 22φ. For example, if the container has a content of 250 milliliters to 5 liters, the diameter may be 20φ.

In the second embodiment, the case where the holding claw 70 is fitted to the narrow portion 24B under the flange portion 46 is illustrated, but instead of or in addition to the holding claw 70, the first embodiment is different from the first embodiment. Similarly, a holding claw for holding the first annular recess 36 may be provided.

In the above first and second embodiments, the case where the narrow portion into which the holding portion fits is an annular narrow portion which is narrowed over the entire circumference is exemplified, but the present invention is not limited to this. The width is not limited, and may be a narrow portion in which only the portion where the holding portion fits is narrow.

In the first and second embodiments, the mouth portion 1
The case where the hexagonal flange portion 46 is formed to project in the middle portion in the height direction of 4 has been illustrated, but this flange portion is formed in another shape such as a square shape, an octagonal shape, or a so-called oval shape. May be. However, when the mouth portion between the flange portion and the container body is lengthened, this portion can be provided, and therefore the flange portion may be formed in a circular shape, or the flange portion may not be provided at all.

Further, in the above-mentioned first and second embodiments, the case of the processing liquid container 20 having a circular cross section perpendicular to the axis is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the cross section perpendicular to the axis is shown. The processing liquid container may have a polygonal shape such as a square shape, a hexagonal shape, and an octagonal shape. For example, when the container body has a quadrangular cross-sectional shape perpendicular to the axis, instead of the first holding claw 16 and the second holding claw 18 in the first embodiment or the holding claw 70 in the second embodiment, FIG. It suffices to provide a U-shaped holding claw 80 as shown in FIG. In this way, since the holding claw 80 is prevented from rotating in a state where the holding claw 80 is fitted in the narrow portion of the processing liquid solution container having a rectangular cross section, the cap 48 is removed by holding only the handle of the lifting jig. Therefore, the cap 48 can be easily removed.

In the case of the processing liquid container 20 having a small inner volume, the endless string 8 as shown in FIG. 8 or FIG.
2 and a tubular member 84 through which the cord 82 is inserted, and even if the eight-shaped lifting jigs 86 and 88 in which the sizes of the two rings formed on both sides of the tubular member 84 are adjustable can be attached. good. For example, in order to attach the lifting jig 86 to the processing liquid container 20, one ring portion of the string 82 is hung on the narrow portion 24B below the flange portion 46 so that the narrow portion 24B can be tightened by the ring portion. The tubular member 84 may be slid. Also, for example, the lifting jig 8
8 is attached to the processing liquid container 20, the flange portion 4
6 One loop portion of the string 82 may be hung on the narrow portion 24B below 6 and the other loop portion of the string 82 may be pulled so that the narrow portion 24B is firmly tightened by the one loop portion. This also enables these lifting jigs 86, 88
Since the processing liquid container can be lifted (suspended) by the other ring part of the processing liquid container 20, it is not necessary to grasp the processing liquid container 20 itself in handling after opening, and it is possible to prevent liquid overflow. Become.

For the same purpose as above, a ring made of resin or the like may be attached in advance to the outer peripheral surface of the mouth portion 24 of the liquid container 20 or the bottom portion of the container body 22. When a ring is attached to the outer peripheral surface of the neck, the processing liquid container 20 can be hung by holding the ring, and when a ring is attached to the bottom, the processing liquid container can be held by holding the ring. Since it can be suspended in an upside down state, it is possible to perform the liquid injection work without touching the container itself.
