Abstract

A discharge device main body having a flow tube through which contents from a container flow inside and which is mounted on the container, a support body extending along the flow tube and fitted to the inside of the flow tube, and a nozzle tip having a nozzle tip body formed in a cylindrical shape with a top including a circumferential wall portion fitted to an outer circumferential surface of the support body and a top wall portion in which a discharge hole of the contents is formed, the nozzle tip being mounted on a distal end portion of the flow tube in a state of being combined with the support body in which a discharge path to communicate the inside of the flow tube and the discharge hole with each other is formed, and the support body is formed separately from the flow tube and the nozzle tip.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A discharge device comprising:
a discharge device main body including a flow tube, an inside thereof through which contents from a container flow, and the discharge device main body being mounted on the container;
a support body extending along the flow tube and fitted to the inside of the flow tube; and
a nozzle tip including a nozzle tip body formed in a cylindrical shape with a top including a circumferential wall portion fitted to an outer circumferential surface of the support body and a top wall portion in which a discharge hole for the contents is formed, the nozzle tip being mounted on a distal end portion of the flow tube in a state of being combined with the support body, wherein
a discharge path to communicate the inside of the flow tube and the discharge hole with each other is formed between an inner surface of the nozzle tip body and an outer surface of the support body,
the support body is formed separately from the flow tube and the nozzle tip,
the support body includes a shaft portion disposed inside the circumferential wall portion of the nozzle tip body and into which the circumferential wall portion is fitted from outside in a radial direction,
the shaft portion is formed in a cylindrical shape with a top in which a front end of the shaft portion is closed, and
an inside of the shaft portion communicates with the inside of the flow tube.

2. The discharge device according to claim 1 , wherein
the support body further includes an annular flange portion protruding toward the outside in the radial direction from a rear end portion of the shaft portion and fitted to the inside of the flow tube,
the discharge path is formed between an inner surface of the nozzle tip body and an outer surface of the shaft portion,
a plurality of communication holes penetrating the flange portion and to communicate the inside of the flow tube and an inside of the discharge path with each other are formed in the flange portion at intervals in a circumferential direction, and
a communication groove connecting the plurality of communication holes with each other is formed in a rear end surface of the shaft portion.

3. The discharge device according to claim 1 , wherein the support body further includes:
a surrounding tube surrounding the shaft portion from the outside in the radial direction, disposed between the circumferential wall portion of the nozzle tip body and the flow tube, and fitted inside the flow tube; and
an annular connecting portion connecting a rear end portion of the shaft portion and a rear end portion of the surrounding tube in the radial direction,
the discharge path is formed between an inner surface of the nozzle tip body and an outer surface of the shaft portion,
a communication hole penetrating the connecting portion and to communicate the inside of the flow tube and an inside of the discharge path with each other is formed in the connecting portion, and
an engaged portion which engages an engaging portion formed in the nozzle tip is formed in the surrounding tube.

4. The discharge device according to claim 1 , wherein at least a portion of the discharge path is formed by a spin groove which causes the contents to flow in the circumferential direction of the flow tube.

5. The discharge device according to claim 1 , wherein the nozzle tip and the support body are configured to be integrally displaced with respect to the flow tube.
