The small-diameter portion 12 is formed by being connected to the lower side of the mouth-neck portion 11, and the internal space of the mouth-neck portion 11 and the internal space of the small-diameter portion 12 communicate with each other. The large-diameter portion 13 is formed by being connected to the lower side of the small-diameter portion 12, and the internal space of the small-diameter portion 12 and the internal space of the large-diameter portion 13 communicate with each other. The mouth and neck portion 11 is formed in a cylindrical shape. A thread is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the mouth and neck portion 11, and the mouth and neck portion 11 is formed into a male screw shape. An opening 11 a is formed on the upper end of the mouth and neck portion 11. A bottom 18 is formed at the lower end of the large-diameter portion 13, and the lower end of the large-diameter portion 13 is closed by the bottom 18.

The large-diameter portion 13 includes a first main surface 14, a second main surface 15 (FIG. 2, FIG. 4 (a), and FIG. 4 (b)) disposed opposite to the first main surface 14, and connects the first main surface 14 and A first side portion 16 of one side end (left end) of the second main surface portion 15 and a second side portion 17 connecting the other side end (right end) of the first main surface portion 14 and the second main surface portion 15 to each other. In addition, the distance between the first side portion 16 and the second side portion 17 is wider than the distance between the first main surface 14 and the second main surface 15. That is, the width dimension of the large-diameter portion 13 in the second direction (left-right direction) is larger than the width dimension in the first direction (front-rear direction). A protruding portion 20 is formed in the large-diameter portion 13. It should be noted that the large-diameter portion 13 includes a portion other than the protruding portion 20 (hereinafter referred to as a large-diameter base portion) of the large-diameter portion 13 and the protruding portion 20.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the small-diameter portion 12 is formed into a substantially cylindrical shape, for example. In the case of this embodiment, in detail, the size of the small-diameter portion 12 in the front-back direction is set to be slightly larger than the size of the small-diameter portion 12 in the widthwise direction. For example, a portion of the container body 10 on the side of the neck portion 11 (the length of the outer peripheral surface of the container body 10 around the axis of the neck portion 11) of 160 mm or less is defined as the small-diameter portion 12.

As shown in FIG. 1, the size of the large-diameter base in the widthwise direction gradually increases downward from the boundary between the large-diameter portion 13 and the small-diameter portion 12 to the left and right sides. Further, at the lower portion of the large-diameter portion 13, the size of the large-diameter base portion in the widthwise direction gradually decreases downward. In the case of this embodiment, the size in the widthwise direction of the lower end of the large-diameter portion 13 is larger than the maximum size of the small-diameter portion 12 in the widthwise direction. The maximum size of the large-diameter portion 13 in the widthwise direction (including the entire large-diameter portion 13 of the protrusion portion 20) is preferably 1.5 times or more, and more preferably 2 times or more, the maximum size of the small-diameter portion 12 in the widthwise direction. . As shown in FIG. 2, the size of the large-diameter portion 13 in the front-rear direction is slightly enlarged downward. However, the maximum size of the large-diameter portion 13 in the front-back direction is set to be slightly larger than the maximum size of the small-diameter portion 12 in the front-back direction. For example, the maximum size of the large-diameter portion 13 in the front-back direction is set to 1.2 times or less the maximum size of the small-diameter portion 12 in the front-back direction. In this embodiment, the diameter of the large-diameter portion 13 larger than the small-diameter portion 12 means that the size of the large-diameter portion 13 is larger than the size of the small-diameter portion 12 in the widthwise direction.

When the container body 10 is viewed from the front, the left and right outlines of the container body 10 (here, the outline of the portion other than the protruding portion 20 in the container body 10) are continuous and smooth curves across the small diameter portion 12 and the large diameter portion 13. In addition, the outline of the container body 10 when viewed from the side of the container body 10 is a continuous and smooth curve across the small-diameter portion 12 and the large-diameter portion 13.

A ridge 19 is formed in the small-diameter portion 12 and extends in the circumferential direction of the small-diameter portion 12. The protrusion 19 is arranged at the upper end of the small-diameter portion 12, for example. In the case of this embodiment, the protrusion 19 surrounds the small-diameter portion 12 360 degrees. However, the present invention is not limited to this example, and the ridge 19 may be formed in a partial region in the circumferential direction of the small-diameter portion 12. Also, a plurality of protrusions 19 may be intermittently formed in the circumferential direction of the small-diameter portion 12. Since the small-diameter portion 12 is formed with a protrusion 19, the protrusion 19 plays a non-slip function. Therefore, even if a gel-like liquid 50 is attached to the hand holding the protrusion 19, the small-diameter portion 12 can be stably held by the hand.

In the container body 10, portions other than the threads formed on the peripheral surface of the neck portion 11 are formed symmetrically, for example, left-right and back-to-back. However, the present invention is not limited to this example, and portions of the container body 10 other than the threads formed on the peripheral surface of the mouth and neck portion 11 may be asymmetrical left and right, and may be asymmetrical back and forth. For example, in FIG. 3, the positions of the plurality of protruding portions 20 provided on the first side portion 16 and the second side portion 17 may be left-right asymmetrical. That is, when the first side portion 16 and the second side portion 17 are respectively provided with the protrusions 20 having the same shape and size, the arrangement of the protrusions 20 on the first side portion 16 and the protrusions on the second side portion 17 The arrangement of the portions 20 may be different from each other, and the number of the protrusions 20 arranged on the first side portion 16 and the number of the protrusions 20 arranged on the second side portion 17 may be different from each other.

In order to obtain a sufficient massaging effect produced by the protruding portion 20, the protruding height of the protruding portion 20 is preferably 3 mm or more. In addition, in order to moderately suppress the massage intensity generated by the protruding portion 20, the protruding height of the protruding portion 20 is preferably 30 mm or less.

The top of the protruding portion 20 is preferably convexly curved. That is, it is preferable that the front end of the protruding portion 20 has a shape that is not sharp and curved. In this way, the touch when the skin is massaged by the protrusions 20 can be made soft. Examples of the shape of the top of the protrusion 20 include a three-dimensional curved surface shape such as a hemispherical shape, and a two-dimensional curved surface such as a semi-cylindrical shape. In the case of this embodiment, the protruding portion 20 is a shape in which the ball is cut at a height less than the radius.

The outer diameter of the protruding portion 20 when the protruding portion 20 is viewed in the protruding direction of the protruding portion 20 is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, 1 mm or more and 50 mm or less, preferably 3 mm or more and 30 mm or less, more preferably 5 mm or more.

The protruding portion 20 is formed on at least one of the first side portion 16 or the second side portion 17 and is not formed on, for example, the first main surface portion 14 and the second main surface portion 15. The protruding portion 20 is not formed on, for example, the small-diameter portion 12.

The number of the protruding portions 20 provided in the massage container 100 may be one, but preferably two or more. When the massage container 100 includes a plurality of protrusions 20, it is preferable that the protrusions 20 are arranged apart from each other (pointed arrangement). When a plurality of protrusions 20 are arranged on one side (the first side 16 or the second side 17) and the protrusions 20 are separated from each other, the protrusions 20 are brought into contact with the skin. In this state, the massage container 100 is relatively moved with respect to the skin in the direction in which the protrusions 20 are arranged, and massage can be performed while intermittently applying vibration to the skin. The interval between the vertexes of the adjacent protruding portions 20 is preferably 10 mm or more, and more preferably 15 mm or more. In this way, when the massage container 100 is moved in the arrangement direction of the protrusions 20 and the protrusions 20 are sequentially abutted against the massage site, each protrusion 20 can be felt separately. The interval between the vertexes of the adjacent protruding portions 20 is preferably 50 mm or less, and more preferably 30 mm or less. The interval between the adjacent protrusions 20 is preferably 1 mm or more, and more preferably 2 mm or more. The interval between the adjacent protruding portions 20 is preferably 50 mm or less, and more preferably 30 mm or less.

In the case of this embodiment, two or more protruding portions 20 are formed on one side portion of the large-diameter portion 13. Therefore, when one side of the large-diameter portion 13 is pressed against the skin for massaging, the plurality of protrusions 20 can be massaged sequentially or once, thereby further improving the effect of massaging.

In the case of this embodiment, the protruding portion 20 is formed on each of the pair of side portions (each of the first side portion 16 and the second side portion 17) of the large-diameter portion 13. Therefore, when the massage container 100 is changed from one hand (for example, the right hand) to the other hand (for example, the left hand), the first side portion 16 can be rotated without rotating the massage container 100 around the axis of the neck 11. The protruding portion 20 or the protruding portion 20 of the second side portion 17 comes into contact with the skin and is easily massaged. In the case of this embodiment, three protrusions 20 are each formed on each of the side portions (each of the first side portion 16 and the second side portion 17) of the large-diameter portion 13. However, the present invention is not limited to this example, and the protruding portion 20 may be formed only on one of the opposite side portions of the large-diameter portion 13.

The two or more protrusions 20 formed on one side of the large-diameter portion 13 include a plurality of protrusions 20 arranged at positions different from each other in the axial direction of the neck portion 11. The protruding directions of the plurality of protrusions 20 are radial. In the case of this embodiment, three protrusions 20 are arranged at positions different from each other in the axial direction of the mouth and neck portion 11 in each of the first side portion 16 and the second side portion 17, and these three protrusion portions The protruding direction of 20 is radial. In FIG. 1, the protruding directions (protruding directions D1, D2, D3) of the three protruding portions 20 formed on the second side portion 17 are indicated by arrows of a single-dot chain line, and these three directions are radial. The same applies to the protruding direction of the protruding portion 20 formed on the first side portion 16. Therefore, when the user holds the massage container 100 with his hand, and uses the elbow as a fulcrum to rotate the part before the elbow of the arm, that is, when the massage container 100 is moved in an arc, the massage is performed by light rubbing or strong rubbing. The massage can be performed sequentially by a plurality of protrusions 20 arranged on one side (the first side 16 or the second side 17).

More specifically, in each of the first side portion 16 and the second side portion 17, the three protruding portions 20 are arranged in an arc shape along a curved surface of the first side portion 16 and the second side portion 17. Therefore, when the user holds the massage container 100 with his or her hand to move the massage container 100 in an arc shape, the massage container 100 can be arranged on one side in an arc-shaped arrangement when massaging is performed by a light rubbing method or a strong rubbing method. The plurality of protrusions 20 on the one side portion 16 or the second side portion 17) are sequentially massaged with the same intensity.

As shown in FIG. 3, a recessed portion 21 having a shape corresponding to the protruding portion 20 is formed on the inner surface of the container body 10 at a position corresponding to the protruding portion 20. Therefore, when the massage container 100 is moved and massaged, the movement of the liquid 50 can be suppressed. As a result, the physical properties of the entire massaging container 200 containing the massaging container 100 and the liquid 50 can be improved, and the massaging operation can be performed stably and easily. In particular, as described above, when the protruding direction of the plurality of protruding portions 20 is radial, when the liquid 50 is to move, the liquid 50 can be received from the inner surface of the protruding portion 20 located on the moving direction side of the liquid 50 with respect to The resistance of the surface of the inner surface of the protruding portion 20 in the vertical direction makes it possible to further appropriately suppress the movement of the liquid 50. Therefore, massage can be performed more easily.

The entire container body 10 is integrally formed by blow molding or the like. Here, the force required to press the center portion of the first main surface portion 14 of the container body 10 into the inside of the container body 10 at a speed of 20 mm / min at 20 ° C (stress when pressing 10 mm) The range is preferably 10 N or more and 100 N or less, and from the viewpoint of easily discharging the contents (liquid 50) from the container body 10, it is more preferably 15 N or more and 70 N or less.

Here, the wall thickness of the protruding portion 20 (hereinafter referred to as the first wall thickness), the wall thickness of the portion other than the protruding portion 20 of the large-diameter portion 13 (hereinafter referred to as the second wall thickness), and the wall of the small-diameter portion 12 An example of the relationship between thickness (hereinafter referred to as the third wall thickness) will be described. For example, the first wall thickness is thinner than the second wall thickness. In this case, the rigidity of the protruding portion 20 can be suppressed moderately, and massage using the protruding portion 20 can be performed with a moderate intensity. The first wall thickness may be thicker than the second wall thickness. In this case, sufficient rigidity of the protruding portion 20 can be obtained, and massage using the protruding portion 20 can be performed more strongly. The first wall thickness and the second wall thickness may be equal to each other. In this case, uniform rigidity of the entire large-diameter portion 13 can be achieved. For example, the second wall thickness is thinner than the third wall thickness. In this case, on the one hand, the rigidity of the small-diameter portion 12 held by the hand can be sufficiently ensured, and on the other hand, the rigidity of the portion other than the protruding portion 20 of the large-diameter portion 13 can be moderately suppressed, so that it can be used with appropriate strength. Massage of the protrusion 20. In addition, good compressibility of the large-diameter portion 13 can be achieved, and the liquid 50 can be discharged from the container body 10 with a slight force. The second wall thickness may be thicker than the third wall thickness. In this case, since the rigidity of the small-diameter portion 12 held by the hand can be moderately suppressed and the small-diameter portion 12 can be flexed, the snap button can be brought into play and the protrusion 20 can be used for tapping. In addition, sufficient rigidity of portions other than the protruding portion 20 of the large-diameter portion 13 can be obtained, and massage using the protruding portion 20 can be performed more strongly. The second wall thickness and the third wall thickness may be equal to each other. In this case, uniform rigidity from the small-diameter portion 12 to the large-diameter portion 13 can be achieved.
