Abstract

The ejection head includes a pressing member; a nozzle tip that is fitted to a concavity; and an insert member. The insert member includes: a concave portion that forms a filling space for the content medium; at least one through hole formed on a circumferential wall; and a long groove that extends from the through hole to the nozzle tip. The insert member has a front end having an outer circumferential edge formed as an annular inclined surface, and the front end is formed with a bulging portion. The bulging portion is formed with a plurality of radial grooves and a cylindrical groove. At least one through hole is located in a position that is circumferentially offset from the plurality of radial grooves.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An ejection head, comprising:
a pressing member that is fitted to a stem standing from a mouth tubular portion of a container body and that is formed with an introduction path to which a content medium is introduced; a nozzle tip that is fitted to a concavity formed on a side surface of the pressing member and that is formed with an ejection orifice for the content medium pumped from the introduction path; and an insert member that is located inside the nozzle tip and that forms a communication path allowing the introduction path formed in the pressing member to communicate with the ejection orifice formed in the nozzle tip, wherein
the nozzle tip includes: a partition wall that is provided with the ejection orifice; and a cylindrical circumferential wall connected to the partition wall,
the insert member includes: a partition wall that is fitted to an inner side of the partition wall of the nozzle tip; a cylindrical circumferential wall connected to the partition wall of the insert member and fitted to the inner surface of the circumferential wall of the nozzle tip; a concave portion formed by the circumferential wall of the insert member and having an opening formed in a rear end of the insert member that faces to the pressing member, thereby forming a filling space to be filled with the content medium introduced from the introduction path; at least one through hole which pierces the circumferential wall of the insert member; and a long groove that is formed on an outer surface of the circumferential wall of the insert member and that extends from the at least one through hole to the nozzle tip, and
the insert member has a front end facing to the nozzle tip, the front end having an outer circumferential edge formed as an annular inclined surface tapered toward a front end thereof, and the front end being formed with a bulging portion that protrudes forward of the inclined surface, the bulging portion being formed with a plurality of radial grooves and a cylindrical groove where the plurality of radial grooves joins, and at least one of the at least one through hole is located in a position that is circumferentially offset from the plurality of radial grooves.

2. The ejection head of claim 1 , wherein the at least one through hole comprises a slant hole having a diameter that is increased in a direction from an inside to an outside of the insert member.

3. The ejection head of claim 1 , wherein the introduction path includes an opening formed in an upper position, the opening allowing the introduction path to communicate with the filling space.

4. The ejection head of claim 1 , wherein the concavity is provided with a plurality of bumps that form a plurality of radial grooves and a cylindrical groove where the plurality of radial grooves joins, and by bringing the insert member into abutment with the plurality of bumps, a guiding path allowing the introduction path to communicate with the communication path is formed.

5. The ejection head of claim 1 , wherein the at least one through hole comprises a single through hole that is located in the position that is circumferentially offset from the plurality of radial grooves.

6. A container, comprising:
the ejection head of claim 1 ; and the container body including a pump having the stem to which the ejection head is fitted.
