[0003] In the field of cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, commodities in the form of crushed liquid in which crush is mixed into liquid are being commercialized. In general, a liquid different from the surrounding liquid is sealed in the crush. When used, the crush is crushed to mix the liquid in the surrounding with the surrounding liquid. An example is a cosmetic essence of cosmetics.

[0004]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, it is troublesome to crush the liquid in the liquid with a fingertip, and the fingertip must be contaminated with the liquid. Further, the conventional container with a dropper simply removes the liquid from the container, and cannot crush the liquid in the liquid.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a container with a dropper which can take out a liquid with a dropper and at the same time crush the liquid in the liquid.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to achieve the above object, and has a lid 7 fitted on the mouth 3 of the container 1 in which the crushed liquid is stored. The upper part of the dropper body 25 is mounted on the lid 7, and the upper part of the dropper body 25 has an elastic cap-like body 15 which can be pressed from the upper part.
The lower end of the dropper body 25 has a large opening 35
And a small liquid passage 36, and a dropper container provided with a ball valve 33 in the large opening 35, which sinks by its own weight in the liquid and closes the large opening 35.

[0007]

When the elastic cap-like body 15 of the dropper 13 is pressed after the liquid squeezed into the dropper 13 is sucked,
Although the liquid is about to be pushed out, the ball valve 23 closes the large opening 35 and the opening area is reduced only by the small liquid passage 36, so that the pressure of the liquid in the dropper 13 increases and the liquid in the liquid is crushed. By pressing the elastic cap-like body 15 for a long time,
After the liquid in the dropper 13 has been sufficiently extruded, the dropper 13 is returned to the container 1 again and the pressing is stopped, and the elastic cap-shaped body 15 returns to its original state due to its own elasticity and returns to the original state. The space increases, and the ball valve 23 opens to squeeze the liquid into the interior.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A first embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. A male screw 5 is formed on the outer periphery of the mouth 3 of the container 1, and is screwed with a female screw 9 formed on the inner peripheral surface of a substantially cylindrical lid 7. From an opening 11 provided at the center of the upper surface of the lid 7, an elastic cap-like body 15 constituting a part of the dropper 13 protrudes. The elastic cap body 15 has a flange 19 provided around the lower end. The lower surface of the edge of the opening 11 of the lid 7 contacts the upper surface of the flange 19, and the upper edge of the opening 3 of the container 1 contacts the lower surface of the flange 19 via the packing 21.

An inner claw 23 is formed on the inner side near the flange 19 of the elastic cap-like body 15 and is engaged with an outer claw 26 formed on the upper end of the dropper body 25. Dropper body 2
At the lower end of 5, a mouthpiece 27 is provided. That is, the outer nail 29 is formed at the lower end of the dropper body 25,
7 is engaged with an inner claw 31 formed on the inner periphery. Mouthpiece 2
7 is made of polyester elastic stone and has a dropper 13
The elasticity of the lower end is increased.

A ball valve 33 made of a hard sphere is located inside the mouthpiece 27. When the ball valve 33 is closed, that is, in a state where the large opening 35 at the bottom of the mouthpiece 27 is closed, only the small liquid passage 36 is open, and the opening area is reduced. The small liquid passage 36 does not pass through the liquid. Note that a valve stopper 37 is formed inside the lower end of the dropper body 25 so that the ball valve 33 does not dance in the dropper body 25.

The lower end of the mouthpiece 27 has a cylindrical shape, and a hole 41 for accommodating the cylindrical portion 39 is formed at the center of the bottom 43 of the container 1. The bottom 43 of the container 1 has a low and substantially conical shape, and a groove 45 is formed in the radial direction from the hole 41 so that the liquid in the container 1 can be easily sucked into the dropper 13.

The operation of this embodiment will be described below. With the dropper 13 supported in the container 1 and containing the crushed liquid in the container 1, the crushed liquid is present in the dropper 13. In this state, the dropper 13 is taken out of the container 1 and the elastic cap 15 is pressed with a fingertip.
The liquid in the dropper 13 is about to be pushed out, but the ball valve 33 closes the large opening 35, and only the small liquid passage 36 is open. Since the opening area is small, the internal liquid pressure increases and the liquid in the liquid is increased. The crush is crushed.

After the crushing is performed and the liquid is discharged from the small liquid passage 36, the dropper 13 is inserted into the container 1 and the pressing of the elastic cap 15 is stopped.
The inside space becomes large and the pressure becomes negative, the ball valve 33 opens and rises to the position of the valve stop 37, and the large opening 35 opens, so that the liquid entering the container 1 is sucked into the dropper 13.

Alternatively, the lid 7 is opened in a state where the elastic cap-like body 15 is pressed with the dropper 13 housed in the container 1 and the inside of the dropper 13 is crushed, and the dropper 13 is removed from the container 1 together with the dropper 13. Then, the mixed liquid in a state where the crushing is crushed and the liquid in the crushing is mixed with the surrounding liquid is applied to the elastic cap 1
5 is pressed further, or the dropper 13
Is swung up and down to move the ball valve 33 up and down to spout out the liquid inside, and use. When the amount of the liquid in the dropper 13 is reduced, the large opening 35 at the lower end of the dropper 13 is directed substantially upward to further press the elastic cap-shaped body 15 to further reduce the space in the dropper 13 without spilling liquid. Can be done. In this state, if the dropper 13 is returned into the container 1 and the pressing is stopped, the crushed liquid in the container 1 can be sucked into the dropper 13 again.

In this embodiment, when the lid 7 is screwed into the mouth 3 of the container 1, the cylindrical portion 39 at the tip of the mouthpiece 27 of the dropper 13 is inserted into the hole 41 of the bottom 43. ,
Since it comes into contact with the bottom of the hole 41 and closes both the large opening 35 and the small liquid passage 36, the liquid in the dropper 13 is prevented from flowing out, and the liquid pressure in the dropper 13 can be increased.

A second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. Hereinafter, the same portions as those in FIGS. 1 to 3 showing the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof will be omitted.

This embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that no mouthpiece 27 is provided. That is, the shape of the lower end of the dropper body 25 becomes thinner, so that the ball valve 33 does not fall down, and also functions as the mouthpiece 27.

A third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. A male screw 5 is formed in the mouth 3 of the container 1.

A ring-shaped packing 47 having a downward U-shaped cross section is provided on the upper edge of the mouth 3 so as to cover the upper edge of the mouth 13.

The packing 47 is covered with a stopper support 51 to be described later. A female screw 53 is formed on the inner periphery of the stopper support 51, and is screwed with the male screw 5 of the container 1. The overall shape of the stopper support 51 is a stepped shape in which a small-diameter cylindrical portion 57 is continuous on a large-diameter cylindrical portion 55. The step portion 59 has a plurality of slits 61 formed in the circumferential direction.

A plurality of legs 63 of the stopper 49 are inserted into the slit 61 so as to be able to move up and down. That is, a plurality of legs 63 project downward from the cylindrical portion 65 on the stopper 49, and the shape of the legs 63 is the same as the shape of the slit 61.

The stopper 49 and the stopper support 5
1. The dropper body 25 is inserted into the container 1 through the packing 47. The inner diameter of the lower end of the dropper body 25 is reduced to form a large opening 35, and this large opening 35
A valve stopper 37 protrudes from the inside just above. A ball valve 33 is held between the valve stopper 37 and the large opening 35 having a reduced inner diameter.

As the ball valve 33, a steel ball or the like can be adopted.
If corrosion due to liquid is conceivable, other materials can be used.

A small projection 67 is formed on the upper outer periphery of the dropper body 25 and is formed inside the small cylindrical portion 57 of the stopper support 51 so as to fit into a small recess 69. Further, above the protrusion 67,
An outer claw 71 is formed and engages with an inner claw 75 formed on the inner periphery of the elastic cap-like body 15.

The elastic cap 15 is made of an elastic material having flexibility, such as rubber, and has a substantially hemispherical shape.

A pusher 77 is provided above the elastic cap 15.
Are arranged, and ribs 7 formed on the lower surface of the pusher 77
9 contacts the substantially hemispherical portion of the elastic cap-like body 15.

The cylindrical portion 81 of the pusher 77 is
Projecting upward from the opening 83, and can be pressed by a finger or the like. A flange 85 around the lower end of the pusher 77 is adapted to be engaged with the lower surface of the edge of the opening 83 of the lid 7.

A female screw 87 is formed at an inner lower end of the lid 7 so as to be screwed with a male screw 89 formed at an outer lower end of the stopper support 51.

The function of the ball valve 33 in this embodiment is to reduce the opening area of the dropper 13 when the liquid is about to be pushed out of the dropper 13 in the same manner as in the first and second embodiments. Is to crush the inside. This embodiment differs from the previous two embodiments in that
This has a stopper 51.

That is, as shown in FIG. 7, when the female screw 53 of the stopper support 51 is screwed into the male screw 5 of the container 1, the lower end of the leg 63 of the stopper 49 is positioned above the mouth 3 of the container 1. Since the edge is pushed up through the packing 47, the upper edge of the pushed up stopper 49 sandwiches the pusher 77 between the lid 7 and the lid 7 so that the pusher 77 does not move downward, that is, cannot be pressed. On the other hand, when the stopper support 51 is disengaged from the container 1 as shown in FIG. 9, the stopper 49 descends, and the pusher 77 can move downward by the distance of the stroke L. The dropper 73 can be pressed and the dropper 13 can be activated. Therefore, when using the dropper 13 in this embodiment, it is necessary to remove or loosen the stopper support 51 from the container 1. Further, when the stopper support 51 is securely screwed to the container, the dropper 13 does not move, and the crush in the liquid is not unnecessarily crushed.

In the second and third embodiments, similarly to the first embodiment, a mouthpiece 27 is attached to the lower end of the dropper body 25.
It is also possible to provide.

[0032]

As described above, according to the container with the dropper of the present invention, when the liquid is about to be pushed out of the dropper, the ball valve reduces the opening area of the dropper and increases the liquid pressure inside the dropper. Since the inside crush is crushed, there is no need to stain the fingertip to crush the crush as in the past.
