Abstract

Provided is a container cover for an aerosol type product and a pump type product wherein a content injection port is covered and protected by an operation member in a stationary mode, so that a malfunction of the operation member can be prevented, and the effect of protecting the content injection port, etc. can be assured. The operation member (7) for covering and protecting the content injection port (6c) in the stationary mode is a sliding type, and upon releasing a sliding operation, the operation member automatically and certainly returns to the stationary mode by elastic action of a leaf spring (8). Further, in the stationary mode, the shape of the entirety of the container cover outer surface including the operation member has a single dome shaped appearance. When the operation member is slid toward the right in the drawing, the content injection port is exposed to the external space, and thereafter, a pressing action portion (7g) is pressed on an inclined portion (6d) of a content injection unit (6). By this pressing action, a stem (3) integrated with the content injection unit is moved downward to transfer to an operation mode, and the contents in the container pass through an injection path (6b) and is discharged from the content injection port.

 本発明は、エアゾール式製品やポンプ式製品の容器カバー体に関し、特に容器に取り付けられた状態でステムと連通する内容物放出通路を備えた筒状のアクチュエータ部材および、当該アクチュエータ部材の上側開口部を覆う形の前方に弾性部材で付勢されて、内容物放出操作にともない、当該弾性部材の付勢力に抗する形で後方へスライドすることにより当該内容物放出通路の放出口を外部空間域に露出させる操作部材、からなる容器カバー体に関する。 The present invention relates to a container cover body of an aerosol type product or a pump type product, and in particular, a cylindrical actuator member having a content discharge passage communicating with a stem in a state attached to the container, and an upper opening of the actuator member The discharge port of the content discharge passage is urged by an elastic member in front of the shape and slides backward to resist the biasing force of the elastic member in accordance with the content discharge operation. It is related with the container cover body which consists of an operation member exposed to.

 すなわち、静止モードのときはスライド式の操作部材が弾性力で前方に付勢されて内容物放出口などを覆い、操作部材を弾性力に抗して後方にスライドさせることにより内容物放出口などが露出する作動モードを設定し、スライド操作の解除にともない操作部材が弾性作用で静止モード位置へといわば自動復帰するものである。 That is, in the stationary mode, the sliding operation member is urged forward by an elastic force to cover the content discharge port, etc., and the operation member is slid backward against the elastic force, thereby causing the content discharge port, etc. The operation mode in which the camera is exposed is set, and the operation member automatically returns to the stationary mode position by the elastic action when the slide operation is released.

 本明細書では、前後の位置関係を、内容物噴射口の側を「前」、それとは反対の例えば後述の矢印形成側を「後」とそれぞれ記す。
図1,図3の左側が「前」で、右側が「後」となる。
In this specification, the front-rear positional relationship is described as “front” on the side of the content injection port and “rear” on the opposite side, for example, an arrow forming side described later.
The left side of FIGS. 1 and 3 is “front” and the right side is “rear”.

 従来、静止モードのときは操作部材で内容物放出口などを覆い、作動モード設定操作にともなう操作部材の移動により内容物噴射口などが露出して、ステムが作動モード位置へと下動する形の容器カバー体が提案されている(特許文献1参照)。 Conventionally, in the stationary mode, the operation member covers the content discharge port, etc., and the content injection port is exposed by the movement of the operation member in accordance with the operation mode setting operation, and the stem moves down to the operation mode position. A container cover body has been proposed (see Patent Document 1).

 この容器カバー体は、操作部材後側の操作部の押下げ操作により、前側の内容物放出口などの覆い部分が上方へと回動して内容物放出口を露出させ、かつ、押下げられた操作部材後側部分で(内容物放出口を備えた)内容物通路部材の後側板状部を押圧してこれと一体のステムが作動モード位置へと下動する態様になっている。 In this container cover body, when the operation portion on the rear side of the operation member is pushed down, the cover portion such as the front content discharge port is rotated upward to expose the content discharge port, and is pressed down. Further, the rear plate-like portion of the content passage member (with the content discharge port) is pressed at the rear portion of the operation member, and the stem integrated therewith is moved downward to the operation mode position.

 そして、利用者の押下げ操作が解除されると、ステムは周知の(ステム付勢用の)コイルスプリングの作用により上動して静止モード位置へと復帰する。 When the user's push-down operation is released, the stem is moved up by the action of a known coil spring (for urging the stem) and returned to the stationary mode position.

 このときステムと一体の内容物通路部材も上動して静止モード位置へと復帰する。一方、操作部材は、内容物通路部材の上動にともないその板状部と当接する後側部分が持ち上げられて静止モード位置の方へと回動する。なお、操作部材を積極的に静止モード位置へと復帰させるための弾性部材などは設けられていない。 At this time, the content passage member integrated with the stem also moves up and returns to the stationary mode position. On the other hand, as the operation member moves upward, the rear portion that comes into contact with the plate-like portion is lifted as the content passage member moves upward, and rotates toward the stationary mode position. Note that there is no elastic member or the like for positively returning the operation member to the stationary mode position.

特開平11-156251号公報Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-156251

 以上の容器用カバー体は静止モードの内容物放出口を操作部材で覆って保護するという利点を備えたものである。 The container cover body described above has the advantage of protecting the contents discharge port in the stationary mode by covering it with an operation member.

 ただ、内容物放出口を保護する操作部材は押下げ操作に基づく回動タイプのものであり、押下げ操作解除後に当該操作部材を静止モード位置へと確実にいわば自動復帰させるための弾性部材を備えていない。 However, the operation member that protects the content discharge port is of a rotating type based on the push-down operation, and an elastic member that automatically returns the operation member to the stationary mode position after releasing the push-down operation is provided. I do not have.

 そのため、従来の上記容器用カバー体は、利用者の日常動作で生じやすい不意,不注意の下方向への手などの動きや、上方からの物の落下などで操作部材が不用意に押下げられて作動モードに移行してしまうことがありえ、また、本来の作動モード設定用の押下げ操作解除後に操作部材が本来の静止モード位置まで復帰しないことがありえるなどの点で、改善の余地を残していた。 For this reason, the conventional container cover body is inadvertently pressed down due to unexpected or inadvertent downward movement of the hand or the falling of an object from above, which is likely to occur in daily operations of the user. The operation member may shift to the operation mode, and the operation member may not return to the original stationary mode position after the push-down operation for setting the original operation mode is released. I left it.

 そこで本発明では、容器用カバー体の構成要素であり、静止モードの内容物放出口を覆って保護するための操作部材をスライド式とし、かつ、このスライド操作の解除にともない操作部材が自らへの直接的な弾性作用で静止モード位置へと確実に自動復帰する形にし、これにより操作部材の誤動作を極力減らすとともに、静止モードにおける内容物放出口などの保護作用の確実化を図ることを目的とする。 Therefore, in the present invention, the operating member that is a component of the container cover body and covers and protects the contents discharge port in the stationary mode is a slide type, and the operating member is released by itself when the sliding operation is released. The purpose of this is to ensure that the operation mode of the operation member is automatically restored to the stationary mode position by direct elastic action, thereby reducing the malfunction of the operation member as much as possible and ensuring the protective action of the contents discharge port etc. in the stationary mode. And

 また、静止モードにおけるスライド式の操作部材と、これを受けて案内保持しかつ容器に取り付けられる筒状本体部の上側部分と、からなる容器カバー体外面の全体形状を単一のドーム状外観の態様で設定し、これにより容器カバー体の高品質,使いやすさのイメージ化を図ることを目的とする。 In addition, the overall shape of the outer surface of the container cover body composed of a slide-type operation member in the stationary mode and an upper portion of the cylindrical main body that receives and holds the guide and is attached to the container has a single dome-like appearance. The purpose is to create a high quality and easy to use image of the container cover body.

 また、操作部材の静止モード位置への復帰用弾性部材も含めた容器カバー体を、スライド操作部材側の第1の一体成形部材と、容器に取り付けられる筒状本体部およびステムと連通する内容物放出部からなるアクチュエータ部材側の第2の一体成形部材とで構成し、これにより容器カバー体の部品点数低減化,コストダウン化を図ることを目的とする。 Further, the container cover body including the elastic member for returning the operation member to the stationary mode position is communicated with the first integrally formed member on the slide operation member side, the cylindrical main body attached to the container, and the stem. It is composed of a second integrally formed member on the actuator member side made up of a discharge portion, and thereby aims to reduce the number of parts and the cost of the container cover body.

 また、内容物放出口が外部からはみえない静止モードの容器カバー体に対する作動モード設定用のスライド操作方向を示し、これにより作動モード設定操作の利便化を図ることを目的とする。 Also, the slide operation direction for setting the operation mode with respect to the container cover body in the stationary mode where the contents discharge port cannot be seen from the outside is shown, and the purpose is to make the operation mode setting operation convenient.

などです。
The illustrated container cover body is a combination of these two integrally molded members.
(21) As an operation member for setting the operation mode, it is a slide type, and in the stationary mode of FIG. 1, the entire upper opening area 5e of the cylindrical main body 5 is covered so that the content injection unit 6 is not exposed to the outside. Using an operation member 7 urged forward by a leaf spring 8;
(22) The arcuate guided step 7e of the operation member 7 is formed in the arcuate shape of the cylindrical main body 5 while resisting the elastic force of the leaf spring 8 by the backward sliding operation on the operation member 7 in the stationary mode. Being guided by the guide step 5m and sliding backward and downward,
(23) In the latter half of this slide operation, the slope portion 6d of the content injection portion 6 is pressed by the curved surface portion 7j of the operation member 7 (pressing action portion 7g), and the stem 3 integrated with the content injection portion is in the operation mode. Moving down to position,
(24) When the sliding operation to the operation mode is released, the operation member 7 automatically returns from the operation mode position of FIG. 4 to the stationary mode position of FIG. 1 by the elastic biasing force of the leaf spring 8 in the forward direction. ,
(25) The outer surface shape of the operation member 7 is a single dome shape together with the spherical surface portions (the rear spherical surface portion 5c, the left and right spherical surface portions 5d, etc.) above the cylindrical portion 5a of the cylindrical main body portion 5 in the stationary mode of FIG. It has an appearance, that is, the operation member and the entire upper spherical surface portion have a shape that forms a part of a single spherical surface,
Etc.

 図1,図4の静止モードにおいて、操作部材7と一体成形された板バネ8の自由端部分8aが筒状本体部5の垂下板状部5h(左右方向板部分5j)に当接し、当該板バネ全体としては自らの弾性力に抗しながら初期状態よりも内側にいわば湾曲した状態になっている。 1 and 4, the free end portion 8a of the leaf spring 8 formed integrally with the operation member 7 abuts on the hanging plate portion 5h (left and right direction plate portion 5j) of the cylindrical main body portion 5, and As a whole, the leaf spring is curved inward from the initial state while resisting its own elastic force.

 このとき、操作部材7は板バネ8の弾性作用により前方向へと付勢され、その最前位置まで移動している。 At this time, the operating member 7 is urged forward by the elastic action of the leaf spring 8 and moved to its foremost position.

 この最前位置の操作部材7は筒状本体部5の上側開口域5eの全体を覆っている。そのため内容物噴射部6は外部から見えない。 The foremost operation member 7 covers the entire upper opening area 5e of the cylindrical main body 5. Therefore, the content injection part 6 cannot be seen from the outside.

 また、静止モードでは図4に示すように、後球面部分5cの大半の下側部分が露出し、そこにはスライド操作方向を示す矢印5nが形成されている。 In the still mode, as shown in FIG. 4, the lower part of most of the rear spherical surface part 5c is exposed, and an arrow 5n indicating the sliding operation direction is formed there.

 利用者が、図示の容器カバー体を作動モードに設定するには、操作部材7をこの矢印5nで示唆される後方向にスライドさせればよい。 In order for the user to set the illustrated container cover body to the operation mode, the operation member 7 may be slid in the backward direction indicated by the arrow 5n.

 この後方向へのスライド操作にともない、
(31)操作部材7の一対の被案内段部7eがそれぞれ筒状本体部5の一対の案内段部5mにガイドされ、
(32)板バネ8は、その自由端部分8aが筒状本体部5の左右方向板部分5jに当接して上方向へと変位しながら、静止モードよりもさらに湾曲し、
(33)最終的には、内容物噴射部6の斜面部6dが操作部材7(押圧作用部7g)の曲面部分7jで押圧され、
(34)操作部材7の斜面部6dへの押圧作用に基づいて、内容物噴射部6およびこれと一体のステム3が、周知のステム復帰用コイルスプリング(図示省略)の弾性力に抗しながら、後方へ傾斜しつつ下方向へと移動する。
With this backward slide operation,
(31) The pair of guided stepped portions 7e of the operation member 7 are respectively guided by the pair of guide stepped portions 5m of the cylindrical main body portion 5,
(32) The leaf spring 8 is further curved than in the stationary mode while its free end portion 8a abuts on the left-right direction plate portion 5j of the cylindrical main body portion 5 and is displaced upward,
(33) Eventually, the slope portion 6d of the content injection portion 6 is pressed by the curved surface portion 7j of the operation member 7 (pressing action portion 7g),
(34) Based on the pressing action of the operating member 7 on the slope portion 6d, the content injection portion 6 and the stem 3 integrated therewith resist the elastic force of a well-known stem return coil spring (not shown). , Moving downward while tilting backward.

 このステム3の下方向への移動により周知のバルブ作用部(図示省略)が開状態となって、容器本体1の内容物が「ステム3-内容物噴射部6の噴射用通路6b」を経て孔部6cから外部空間域に噴射される。 This downward movement of the stem 3 opens a well-known valve action part (not shown), and the contents of the container body 1 pass through “the stem 3—the injection passage 6b of the contents injection part 6”. It is injected from the hole 6c into the external space area.

 そして、利用者が図4の作動モード位置へのスライド操作を解除すると、操作部材7は、その被案内段部7eが筒状本体部5の案内段部5mにガイドされながら板バネ8の弾性作用により前方向へ移動して、図1の静止モード位置へと自動復帰する。 Then, when the user releases the sliding operation to the operation mode position of FIG. 4, the operation member 7 is elastic of the leaf spring 8 while its guided step portion 7 e is guided by the guide step portion 5 m of the cylindrical main body portion 5. It moves forward by the action and automatically returns to the stationary mode position of FIG.

 また、内容物噴射部6およびこれと一体のステム3は、周知のステム復帰用コイルスプリング(図示省略)の弾性作用により初期位置、すなわち図1の静止モード位置へと操作部材同様に自動復帰する。 Further, the content injection unit 6 and the stem 3 integrated therewith automatically return to the initial position, that is, the stationary mode position of FIG. 1 in the same manner as the operation member by the elastic action of a well-known stem return coil spring (not shown). .

 なお、一対の板バネ8の自由端部分8aの左右方向への移動は、それぞれの外側となる一対の前後方向板部分5k(筒状本体部5の垂下板状部5hの一部)や、それぞれの内側となるいわば共通の内容物噴射部6の左右端部分により、規制される。 The movement of the free end portions 8a of the pair of leaf springs 8 in the left-right direction is performed by a pair of front and rear direction plate portions 5k (a part of the hanging plate-like portion 5h of the cylindrical main body portion 5), It is regulated by the left and right end portions of the common content injection unit 6 on the inside.

 図示の操作部材7および板バネ8の一体成形部材を筒状本体部5および内容物噴射部6の一体成形部材に組み込むには、図2の矢印線で示すように、
(41)板バネ8の自由端部分8aをそれぞれ、一対の円弧状ガイド部5fの間に形成される開口部の前側幅広部分から入れた上で垂下板状部5hの左右方向板部分5jの方にシフトさせ、
(42)このシフト状態の操作部材7を筒状本体部5の方にいわば押し込み、当該操作部材の被案内垂下部7dのそれぞれが当該筒状本体部の円弧状開口部5gを通過して、当該被案内垂下部の被案内段部7eと当該筒状本体部の案内段部5mとが係合する形に設定すればよい。
In order to incorporate the integrally formed member of the illustrated operating member 7 and leaf spring 8 into the integrally formed member of the cylindrical main body portion 5 and the content injection portion 6, as shown by the arrow line in FIG.
(41) After the free end portions 8a of the leaf springs 8 are respectively inserted from the front wide portion of the opening formed between the pair of arcuate guide portions 5f, the left and right direction plate portions 5j of the hanging plate-like portion 5h Shift towards
(42) The operation member 7 in the shifted state is pushed toward the cylindrical main body 5 so that each of the guided hanging portions 7d of the operation member passes through the arcuate opening 5g of the cylindrical main body, What is necessary is just to set so that the to-be-guided step part 7e of the said to-be-guided lower part and the guide step part 5m of the said cylindrical main-body part may engage.
