Description

Chemical liquid supply device and chemical liquid supply member

Technical Field

The present invention relates to a liquid medicine supply device for supplying liquid medicine.

Background

Conventionally, a chemical liquid supply device for supplying a chemical liquid to a supply target portion such as skin is known. For example, patent document 1 discloses a chemical liquid application device including a container for containing a chemical liquid, a plug connected to the container, an inner cap connected to the plug, and a sponge. The plug is connected to (pressed into) the mouth of the container. The inner cap is provided with an outlet for the liquid medicine. The outflow part of the inner cover surrounding the outflow port is formed in a shape inclined from the inside to the outside of the container so that the outflow port becomes gradually smaller. The bolt body is also connected with a spring and a movable valve. The spring applies a force to the movable valve from the inner side of the inner lid toward the inner lid. The movable valve has a shoulder portion in surface contact with the outflow portion, and a protrusion portion protruding from the shoulder portion to the outside of the container. The outer shape of the protrusion is smaller than the outflow port, and the protrusion has a shape protruding from the outer surface of the inner lid to the outside. The outer edge of the sponge is secured to the outer edge of the inner cover. The sponge is protruded outward by the force applied from the protrusion to the direction from the inside to the outside, thereby maintaining the bulged shape.

When the drug solution is applied to the skin using the drug solution application device, the application is performed, for example, as follows. First, the outer surface of the sponge is pressed against the skin in a posture in which the outer surface faces downward. At this time, the protrusion is pushed toward the inside of the inner cap against the biasing force of the spring, and a gap is formed between the outflow portion and the shoulder, so that the liquid chemical in the container flows out of the inner cap through the outflow port. The medicinal liquid is soaked in sponge. Thereafter, the chemical solution application device is moved laterally along the skin while maintaining this state. Thereby, the medical solution held in the sponge is applied to the skin.

In the chemical liquid supply device described in patent document 1, when a stain on a supply portion (skin or the like) is stained on a sponge, the sponge is clogged, and the supply amount of the chemical liquid may be insufficient.

Therefore, it is considered that no sponge is used (removed). However, if the sponge is simply removed, the amount of the chemical solution supplied is excessive. Specifically, the sponge has a function of infiltrating (holding) the medical fluid and a function of supplying a substantially constant amount of the medical fluid to the supplied portion (skin or the like), and therefore when the sponge is removed, the total amount of the medical fluid flowing out through the outflow port is supplied to the supplied portion at a stroke. This is more pronounced as the amount of depression of the movable valve is greater.

Detailed Description

(embodiment mode 1)

A chemical liquid supply apparatus 1 according to embodiment 1 of the present invention will be described with reference to fig. 1 to 8.

As shown in fig. 1, the chemical liquid supply device 1 includes a container 10, a chemical liquid supply unit 20, and a lid 70.

The container 10 includes a container 12 for containing a chemical solution (not shown) and a mouth portion 14 connected to the container 12. The mouth 14 has a shape that opens in a specific direction (vertical direction in fig. 1). The mouth portion 14 has an outer peripheral surface formed with a male screw portion 15.

The chemical liquid supplier 20 is a unit that can be switched between a state in which the interior of the container 10 is sealed and a state in which the chemical liquid in the housing portion 12 can be supplied to the outside of the container 10 while being connected to the mouth portion 14. Specifically, the chemical liquid supply member 20 includes a base 30 connectable to the mouth 14, and a supply body 50 held on the base 30.

The base 30 has a shape that communicates the inside of the container 10 with the outside of the container 10 in a state of being connected to the mouth portion 14. The base 30 includes a connection receiving portion 32, a regulating portion 34, a drop preventing portion 40, and a pressing portion 42. In the present embodiment, the connected portion 32, the regulating portion 34, the drop preventing portion 40, and the pressing portion 42 are integrally formed. But may be formed separately from different components.

The connected portion 32 is cylindrical. The outer diameter of the connected portion 32 is set to be slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the mouth portion 14.

The drop preventing portion 40 is located outside the container 10 when the connected portion 32 is connected to the mouth portion 14 (pushed into the mouth portion 14). The drop preventing portion 40 is in contact with the supply body 50 from the opposite side (upper side in fig. 1) of the accommodating portion 12 with respect to the mouth portion 14 to prevent the supply body 50 from being dropped from the base body 30. Specifically, the drop preventing portion 40 has a shape that contacts the supply body 50 over the entire circumference around the center axis C of the connected portion 32.

The pushing portion 42 is connected to the inside of the connected portion 32, and pushes the supply body 50 toward the drop preventing portion 40. The pressing portion 42 includes a holding portion 44 for holding the supply body 50, and an urging portion 46 for urging the holding portion 44 to the outside of the container 10.

The holding portion 44 is displaceable along the central axis C inside the connected portion 32 while holding the supply body 50. Specifically, the outer diameter of the holding portion 44 is smaller than the inner diameter of the connected portion 32. The holding portion 44 holds the supply body 50 to restrict the supply body 50 from rotating about a center axis C parallel to the direction (upward in fig. 1) of the urging force exerted by the urging portion 46. In the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 2, a cross-shaped groove 45 is formed in the holding portion 44. When a shaft portion 62 of the feeder 50, which will be described later, is inserted into the groove 45, relative rotation of the feeder 50 with respect to the base 30 is restricted.

The biasing portion 46 is a spiral spring member that connects an end portion of the inner peripheral surface of the connected portion 32 on the side closer to the accommodating portion 12 (lower side in fig. 1) to the holding portion 44. By the expansion and contraction of the urging portion 46, the holding portion 44, that is, the supply body 55 is displaced in a direction parallel to the direction in which the urging portion 46 applies the urging force. As shown in fig. 3, the biasing portion 46 connects the connected portion 32 and the holding portion 44 in a natural length state such that the upper end surface of the holding portion 44 is positioned above the drop preventing portion 40. As shown in fig. 1, the biasing portion 46 is compressed to be shorter than the natural length in a state where the supply body 50 abuts against the drop-off prevention portion 40. That is, the biasing portion 46 normally pushes the supply body 50 toward the drop-preventing portion 40, and fig. 1 shows a state in which the supply body 50 is pushed toward the drop-preventing portion 40 to seal the container 10.

The restricting portion 34 is formed between the connected portion 32 and the drop-off preventing portion 40. The regulating portion 34 regulates displacement of the supply body 50 by abutting against the supply body 50 when the supply body 50 is pressed against the pressing force of the pressing portion 42. The restricting portion 34 has an annular restricting surface 36 orthogonal to the central axis C of the connected portion 32, and an annular protrusion 38 that protrudes outward from the restricting surface 36 and is annular and in line contact with the supply body 50. The annular projection 38 may be omitted.

The supply body 50 is held by the base body 30, and can close the inside of the container 10 and supply a chemical solution to a supply target portion (skin, etc.). Specifically, the feeder 50 has a feeder body 52 and a shaft 62. The donor body 52 and the shaft 62 are formed integrally.

The supply body main body 52 includes a supply surface 54 for supplying the chemical solution to the supplied portion, a plurality of (3 in the present embodiment) bulging portions 56, an abutting portion 58 abutting against the drop-preventing portion 40, and an opposing portion 60 opposing the regulating portion 34.

The supply surface 54 has a curved shape that is convex toward the outside of the container 10.

Each bulge 56 has a shape bulging outward from the supply surface 54. That is, the radius of curvature of each bulging portion 56 is set smaller than the radius of curvature of the supply surface 54. As shown in fig. 4 and 5, each bulging portion 56 is formed on the supply surface 54 at a position offset from the center of the supply surface 54. In the present embodiment, the respective bulging portions 56 are arranged at equal intervals around the center.

The contact portion 58 contacts the drop preventing portion 40 in the acting direction of the acting force (pressing force). The abutment 58 is connected to the outer edge of the supply face 54. The abutting portion 58 is formed in a shape (truncated cone shape) in which the outer diameter of the abutting portion 58 gradually increases as the distance from the supply surface 54 increases. When the contact portion 58 is separated from the drop preventing portion 40 as shown in fig. 7, a supply flow path S for supplying the chemical liquid to the outside of the container 10 is formed between the supply body 50 and the drop preventing portion 40. In this state, the chemical liquid can be supplied to the supplied portion. When the contact portion 58 comes into contact with (closely contacts) the drop preventing portion 40 as shown in fig. 1, the supply flow path S is blocked. In this state, the inside of the container 10 is closed.

The shaft portion 62 has a shape extending from a surface of the feeder body 52 on the opposite side to the feeding surface 54 in a direction perpendicular to the surface. As shown in fig. 4 and 6, the shaft portion 62 has a central shaft 64 and a plurality of (4 in the present embodiment) side plates 66.

The central shaft 64 is cylindrical. The outer diameter of the central shaft 64 is set to be capable of being inserted into the groove 45 of the holding portion 44.

Each side plate 66 has a shape protruding from the central shaft 64 to the outside in the radial direction of the central shaft 64. The side plates 66 are arranged at 90-degree intervals along the circumferential direction of the central shaft 64. The thickness of each side plate 66 is set to be capable of being inserted through the groove 45. When these side plates 66 are inserted through the slots 45, the relative rotation of the supply body 50 with respect to the base body 30 about the central axis C is restricted. The term "restrict" as used herein does not mean that the relative rotation of the supply body 50 with respect to the base body 30 is not allowed at all, but means that the relative rotation is restricted so that the circumferential displacement amount of the supply body 50 is controlled within a predetermined allowable range.

The opposing portion 60 is a portion that faces the regulating portion 34 in a state where the shaft portion 62 is inserted into the groove 45. The facing portion 60 is formed in a flat shape. As shown in fig. 7, the opposing portion 60 abuts (makes line contact with) the annular projection 38 of the regulating portion 34 when the supply surface 54 and the bulging portion 56 are pressed against the urging force of the urging portion 46. In this state, the outflow of the medical fluid to the outside of the container 10 is restricted.

As shown in fig. 8, the drop preventing portion 40 has a shape that allows the supply body 50 to be inclined such that the central axis a of the shaft portion 62 is inclined with respect to the central axis C. Specifically, the drop preventing portion 40 has the following shape: when a deviation portion (for example, the bulging portion 56) of the supply body 50, which deviates from the central axis a in a direction orthogonal to the central axis a, is pressed, a contact portion P of a portion of the supply body 50 located on the opposite side of the deviation portion with respect to the central axis a and the drop-off prevention portion 40 serves as a fulcrum, and the supply body 50 is allowed to tilt with respect to the base body 30 until the facing portion 60 comes into contact with the annular protrusion 38.

The cap 70 is screwed to the mouth portion 14. Specifically, the cap 70 has an inner peripheral surface formed with a female screw portion 72 to be screwed with the male screw portion 15 formed in the mouth portion 14. The lid 70 has an annular protrusion 74 that seals the inside of the container 10 by coming into contact with the drop-off prevention portion 40.

Next, a method of using the chemical liquid supply apparatus 1 will be described. Next, a case where the supply target portion is the skin, that is, a case where the chemical liquid is applied to the skin using the present chemical liquid supply apparatus 1 will be described.

First, the supply face 54 is pressed against the skin in a downward orientation of the supply face 54. At this time, the supply body 50 is pressed against the urging force of the urging portion 46 before the opposing portion 60 comes into contact with the annular projection 38. Thus, as shown in fig. 7, since the supply flow path S is formed between the contact portion 58 and the drop prevention portion 40, the chemical liquid in the container 10 is supplied to the outside of the container 10 through the supply flow path S. On the other hand, since the annular projection 38 comes into contact with the opposing portion 60 to seal the interior of the container 10, the chemical liquid is not supplied thereafter.

Then, by moving the chemical liquid supply device 1 along the skin while keeping this state, the chemical liquid is applied to the region of the skin to be applied.

As described above, in the chemical liquid supply device 1, when the supply body 50 is pressed against the biasing force of the biasing portion 46, the chemical liquid is supplied through the supply flow path S, so that the chemical liquid can be prevented from being insufficiently supplied, and the displacement (the moving distance of the pressing operation) of the supply body 50 is restricted by the abutment of the supply body 50 with the restricting portion 34, so that the chemical liquid supplied through the supply flow path S can be prevented from being excessively supplied. Thus, the amount of the chemical solution supplied can be controlled within a certain range.

In addition, in the present embodiment, since the restricting portion 34 has the annular projection 38 in line contact with the facing portion 60, when the facing portion 60 is in contact with the annular projection 38, the outflow of the chemical liquid can be effectively restricted. Thus, the excessive supply of the chemical liquid can be more reliably suppressed.

Further, the holding portion 44 holds the supply body 50 to restrict the supply body 50 from rotating about the center axis C parallel to the direction of the urging force, so that abrasion of the annular projection 38 can be reduced. For example, if the supply body 50 is rotatable relative to the holding portion 44, the annular projection 38 is worn when the supply body 50 is rotated relative to the holding portion 44 in a state where the supply body 50 is in contact with the annular projection 38, and in the chemical liquid supply device 1, the relative rotation of the supply body 50 relative to the holding portion 44 is restricted, so that the wear of the annular projection 38 can be reduced.

Further, since the drop preventing portion 40 has a shape that allows the supply body 50 to be inclined such that the central axis a of the shaft portion 62 is inclined with respect to the central axis C, even when the offset portion on the supply body 50 is pressed, the supply flow path S is ensured, and the chemical liquid can be smoothly supplied.

Also, since the relative rotation of the supply body 50 with respect to the holding portion 44 is restricted, the external force acting on the deviating portion of the supply body 50 is easily used as the urging force in the direction of inclining the supply body 50. Accordingly, the supply body 50 is easily inclined, and thus the supply amount of the chemical liquid can be effectively secured.

Further, since each of the bulging portions 56 is formed at a position on the supply surface 54 which is offset from the center of the supply surface 54, when the bulging portion 56 is pressed, the inclination of the supply body 50 can be promoted, and the supply flow path S can be efficiently formed.

(embodiment mode 2)

Next, a chemical liquid supply device 1 according to embodiment 2 of the present invention will be described with reference to fig. 11 to 14. In this embodiment, only the portions different from embodiment 1 will be described, and the same configurations, operations, effects, and the like as those of embodiment 1 will not be described.

In the present embodiment, the amount of projection of the projection portion 56 from the supply surface 54 is set to be larger than that in embodiment 1. Further, 3 reinforcing ribs 61 are formed on the back surface side (lower side in fig. 11) of each bulging portion 56, more specifically, at positions overlapping each bulging portion 56 in a direction parallel to the acting direction of the pressing force. Each bulge 56 is formed radially inward of the annular projection 38 relative to the annular projection 38. This is also the same as in embodiment 1.

The length of the shaft portion 62 is set shorter than that in embodiment 1.

As shown in fig. 11 to 13, a chemical liquid holding portion 48 for holding a chemical liquid is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the drop preventing portion 40. The chemical solution holding portion 48 has a shape that is recessed inward in the radial direction (the left-right direction in fig. 1) of the drop preventing portion 40 from the other portion of the outer peripheral surface of the drop preventing portion 40 and is continuously connected in the circumferential direction of the drop preventing portion 40. That is, the chemical liquid holding portion 48 holds the chemical liquid by utilizing the capillary phenomenon.

In the present embodiment, the cap 70 has the pressing surface 71, and the pressing surface 71 presses the supply body 50 so that the facing portion 60 of the supply body 50 contacts the annular protrusion 38 of the regulating portion 34 in a state where the cap 70 is coupled (screwed) to the mouth portion 14. In other words, the amount of projection of each projection 56 is set so that the opposing portion 60 is pressed by the annular projection 38 when the cap 70 is connected to the mouth portion 14.

In the present embodiment, the protrusion 74 has a function of limiting the amount of pressing of the pressing surface 71 against the supply body 50 in a state where the cap 70 is connected to the mouth portion 14. That is, in the present embodiment, the protruding portion 74 functions as a "stopper". The upper surface of the drop prevention unit 40 corresponds to a receiving unit 41 for receiving the stopper.

Fig. 12 shows the moment when the pressing surface 71 comes into contact with each bulging portion 56 of the supply body 50 in the process of connecting (screwing) the cap 70 to the mouth portion 14. As shown in fig. 12, a distance D1 between the stopper (the protruding portion 74) and the receiving portion 41 when the pressing surface 71 is in contact with each of the bulging portions 56 is larger than a distance D2 between the facing portion 60 and the annular projection 38 when the pressing surface 71 is in contact with each of the bulging portions 56. Further, the distance D3 in the radial direction of the annular protrusion 38 from the contact portion (including point contact and surface contact) of the bulging portion 56 and the pressing surface 71 formed at the position closest to the center axis of the annular protrusion 38 in each bulging portion 56 to the annular protrusion 38 is preferably 0.1 to 180 times, more preferably 0.1 to 90 times, the difference between the distance D1 between the stopper and the receiving portion 41 when the bulging portion 56 contacts the pressing surface 71 and the distance D2 between the facing portion 60 and the annular protrusion 38.

In the present embodiment, the substrate 30 is formed of polyoxymethylene resin (POM). Thus, plastic deformation (decrease in the biasing force) of the biasing portion 46 can be suppressed. The supply body 50 may also be formed of polyoxymethylene resin. The supply body 50 is preferably formed of a resin material having a lower hardness than the polyoxymethylene resin constituting the base body 30. In the present embodiment, since the ribs 61 are provided on the back surface side of each of the bulging portions 56, it is possible to suppress occurrence of shrinkage of each of the bulging portions 56 when the supply body 50 is formed of the resin. Further, by providing the ribs 61 on the back side of the respective bulging portions 56, deformation of the supply surface 54 caused when the pressing force generated by contact between the bulging portions 56 and the pressing surface 71 acts on the bulging portions 56 is effectively suppressed as compared with the case where the ribs 61 are provided at positions shifted from the respective bulging portions 56, and therefore, damage (cracking or the like) to the supply surface 54 can be suppressed.

As described above, in the chemical liquid supplying apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment, when the cap 70 is connected to the mouth portion 14, the supply body 50 is in contact with the regulating portion 34, and thus the inside of the container 10 is sealed. This can prevent the chemical solution from flowing out of the container 10 to the outside of the supply body 50.

Further, since the projection 74 of the cap 70 constitutes a stopper, the drop-preventing portion 40 has the receiving portion 41, and the distance D1 is larger than the distance D2, the cap 70 is screwed to the mouth portion 14, whereby the contact between the supply body 50 and the regulating portion 34 can be ensured, and the pressing force of the pressing surface 71 acting on the regulating portion 34 of the supply body 50 can be suppressed from being excessively large. That is, the container 10 can be sealed and the damage of the supply body 50 can be suppressed.

In addition, the distance D3 is 0.1 times or more and 180 times or less the difference between the distances D1 and D2, and therefore, the damage of the supply body 50 can be more reliably suppressed.

All matters in the above-described embodiments of the present disclosure are to be interpreted in an illustrative and non-limiting sense. The scope of the present invention is defined by the scope of the claims, is not defined by the description of the embodiments, and includes all modifications equivalent in meaning and scope to the scope of the claims.

For example, the shape of the groove 45 of the holding portion 44 and the shape of the shaft portion 62 are not limited to the above examples as long as the relative rotation of the supply body 50 with respect to the base body 30 about the central axis can be restricted.

Fig. 9 shows a modification 1 of the chemical liquid supply unit 20 according to the above embodiment. In the chemical liquid supply member 21, a resistance generating portion 57A is formed on the supply surface 54. The resistance generating portion 57A makes the frictional resistance between the resistance generating portion 57A and the supplied portion larger than the frictional resistance between the supply surface 54 and the supplied portion. In this example, the resistance generating portion 57A is formed of a plurality of cylinders concentrically arranged about the central axis a. In this embodiment, when the liquid medicine supply device moves along the supplied portion (skin) in a state where the supplying body 50 presses the supplied portion, the frictional resistance between the resistance generating portion 57A and the supplied portion is larger than the frictional resistance between the supplying surface 54 and the supplied portion, and therefore the supplying body 50 is easily inclined with respect to the base body 30. Thus, the supply flow path S can be efficiently formed. The resistance generating portion 57A also has a function of holding the drug solution between the cylinders, and a function of relieving itching due to irritation of the skin.

Fig. 10 shows a modification 2 of the chemical liquid supply unit 20 according to the above embodiment. The chemical liquid supply unit 22 also has a resistance generating portion 57B on the supply surface 54. In this example, the resistance generating portions 57B are each formed by a plurality of small protrusions protruding from the supply surface 54. This embodiment also provides the same effects as those of the chemical liquid supply member 21 shown in fig. 9.

The above embodiments mainly include the invention having the following configurations.

The chemical liquid supply device of the above embodiment includes: a container having a housing portion capable of housing a chemical solution and a mouth portion connected to the housing portion and opened in a specific direction; and a chemical liquid supplier connectable to the mouth portion and switchable between a state in which the interior of the container is sealed and a state in which the chemical liquid in the storage portion can be supplied to the outside of the container in a state in which the chemical liquid supplier is connected to the mouth portion, wherein the chemical liquid supplier includes: a base body which is connectable to the mouth portion and has a shape that communicates the inside of the container with the outside of the container; and a supply body that is held by the base body and is capable of closing the inside of the container and supplying the chemical solution to a supply target portion, the base body including: a drop-off preventing portion that comes into contact with the supply body from an opposite side of the accommodating portion with reference to the mouth portion so as to prevent the supply body from being detached from the base body; a pressing portion that presses the supply body against the drop prevention portion to close the container interior; and a restricting portion that, when the supply body is pressed against the pressing force of the pressing portion, restricts displacement of the supply body by coming into contact with the supply body, wherein the supply body separates from the drop-preventing portion, a supply flow path for supplying the chemical liquid to the outside of the container is formed between the supply body and the drop-preventing portion, and the supply body blocks the supply flow path by coming into contact with the drop-preventing portion.

In the chemical liquid supply device, when the supply body is pressed against the pressing force of the pressing portion, the chemical liquid is supplied through the supply flow path, so that the chemical liquid can be prevented from being insufficiently supplied, and the displacement (pressing stroke) of the supply body 50 is restricted by the abutment of the supply body with the restricting portion 34, so that the chemical liquid can be prevented from being excessively supplied through the supply flow path. Thus, the amount of the chemical solution supplied can be controlled within a certain range.

In the liquid supply device, it is preferable that the regulating unit includes: an annular regulating surface orthogonal to the acting direction of the pressing force; and an annular protrusion protruding outward from the restricting surface and having a shape of a ring and in line contact with the supply body.

According to the above configuration, the supply body is brought into contact with the annular projection, whereby outflow of the chemical liquid can be effectively restricted, and thus, excessive supply of the chemical liquid can be more reliably suppressed.

In this case, it is preferable that the pressing portion has a holding portion that holds the supply body so as to restrict the supply body from rotating about a central axis parallel to a direction in which the pressing force acts.

According to the above configuration, wear of the annular projection can be reduced. For example, if the supply body is relatively rotatable with respect to the holding portion, the annular protrusion wears when the supply body is relatively rotated with respect to the holding portion in a state where the supply body is in contact with the annular protrusion, and in the present chemical liquid supply device, since the relative rotation of the supply body with respect to the holding portion is restricted, the wear of the annular protrusion can be reduced. The term "restrict" as used herein does not mean that the relative rotation of the supply body with respect to the holding portion is not allowed at all, but means that the relative rotation is restricted by controlling the displacement amount of the supply body in the circumferential direction within a predetermined allowable range.

In the liquid supply apparatus, it is preferable that the drop preventing portion has a shape of: when a biasing portion of the feeder body that is biased in a direction orthogonal to the central axis from a central axis parallel to a direction in which the biasing force acts is biased, the feeder body is allowed to tilt relative to the base body with a contact portion of the drop prevention portion and a portion of the feeder body that is located on a side opposite to the biasing portion with respect to the central axis as a fulcrum until the feeder body comes into contact with the regulating portion.

According to the above configuration, even when the offset portion of the supply body is pressed, the chemical liquid can be smoothly supplied. Specifically, the drop-off preventing portion allows the supply body to tilt relative to the base body with a contact portion of the supply body and the drop-off preventing portion as a fulcrum when the offset portion is pressed until the supply body abuts against the restricting portion, so that the supply flow path can be ensured.

In the liquid supply device, it is preferable that the supply body includes: a supply surface contactable with the supplied portion; and at least one bulging portion formed at a portion around a central axis parallel to a direction of action of the pressing force on the supply surface and having a shape bulging outward from the supply surface.

According to the above configuration, when the bulging portion is pressed, the supply body can be accelerated to incline, and the supply flow path can be efficiently formed.

In addition, the liquid supply apparatus preferably further includes: and a cap detachably connected to the mouth portion and configured to cover the chemical liquid supply member in a state of being connected to the mouth portion, wherein the cap has a pressing surface for pressing the supply body so as to bring the supply body into contact with the regulating portion in a state of being connected to the mouth portion.

According to the above configuration, the supply body is brought into contact with the regulating portion by connecting the cap to the mouth portion, and thus the container is hermetically sealed. This can prevent the chemical solution from flowing out of the container and the supply body.

However, when the strength of the connection between the cap and the mouth is excessively large, that is, when the pressing force pressing the restricting portion facing the supply body is excessively large, there is a possibility that the supply body may be damaged. In the above liquid supply apparatus, it is preferable that either one of the lid and the base has a stopper that contacts the other of the lid and the base, and the other has a receiving portion that receives the stopper, or either one of the lid and the container has a stopper that contacts the other of the lid and the container, and the other has a receiving portion that receives the stopper, and a distance between the stopper and the receiving portion when the pushing surface contacts the supply body is larger than a distance between the supply body and the regulating portion when the pushing surface contacts the supply body.

According to the above configuration, by connecting the cap to the mouth, the supply body can be surely brought into contact with the regulating portion, and the pressing force of the pressing surface acting on the regulating portion of the supply body can be suppressed from being excessively large. That is, the sealing in the container can be ensured, and the damage of the supply body can be suppressed.

In this case, it is preferable that the stopper is provided on the lid, and the receiving portion is provided on the base. According to the above configuration, the influence of the tolerance of each component is smaller than in the case where the stopper is provided on the lid and the receiving portion is provided on the container, and therefore, the damage of the supply body can be more reliably suppressed.

In this case, it is preferable that the stopper has a shape protruding from the pressing surface in a direction opposite to the direction in which the pressing force acts, and the receiving portion is formed on an outer end surface of the drop preventing portion in the direction in which the pressing force acts.

With this configuration, the receiving portion can be prevented from coming into contact with the skin when the chemical liquid is supplied to the skin, as compared with a case where the receiving portion has a shape protruding from the end face of the drop-off prevention portion in the direction in which the pressing force acts (toward the lid).

In the liquid supply device, it is preferable that the stopper has a ring shape connected around a central axis parallel to the direction in which the pressing force acts.

According to the above configuration, since the stopper is in contact with the receiving portion over the entire circumference around the central axis, damage to the supply body can be suppressed more reliably, and since the space inside the stopper is sealed by the stopper and the receiving portion, even if the chemical liquid leaks out of the supply body, the chemical liquid can be suppressed from reaching the outside of the stopper (the outside of the housing portion).

In the liquid supply device, it is preferable that the regulating unit includes: an annular regulating surface orthogonal to the acting direction of the pressing force; and an annular protrusion protruding outward from the regulating surface and having a shape of a ring and making line contact with the supply body.

In the above-described liquid supply apparatus, the at least one bulging portion may be a single bulging portion formed on a central axis of the annular protrusion.

Alternatively, the at least one bulging portion may include a plurality of bulging portions arranged intermittently, contact portions of the bulging portions and the pressing surface may be arranged concentrically with the annular protrusion, and the plurality of bulging portions may be formed radially inward of the annular protrusion.

In this configuration, the degree of freedom of the shape of each of the bulging portions is higher than in a case where each of the bulging portions is formed at a position overlapping with the annular protrusion in a direction parallel to the central axis of the annular protrusion.

In the liquid supply apparatus, it is preferable that a distance in a radial direction of the annular protrusion from a contact portion of the projection portion and the pressing surface, which is formed at a position closest to a central axis of the annular protrusion, of the at least one projection is 0.1 to 180 times a difference between a distance between the stopper and the receiving portion when the projection portion contacts the pressing surface and a distance between the opposing portion and the annular protrusion.

According to the above configuration, the damage of the supply body can be more reliably suppressed.

Further, the chemical liquid feeder of the above embodiment is a chemical liquid feeder connectable to a mouth portion of a container having a storage portion capable of storing a chemical liquid and the mouth portion connected to the storage portion and opened in a specific direction, and capable of switching between a state in which the interior of the container is sealed and a state in which the chemical liquid in the storage portion can be fed to the outside of the container in a state in which the chemical liquid feeder is connected to the mouth portion, the chemical liquid feeder including: a base body which is connectable to the mouth portion and has a shape that communicates the inside of the container with the outside of the container; and a supply body that is held by the base body and is capable of closing the inside of the container and supplying the chemical solution to a supply target portion, the base body including: a drop-off preventing portion that comes into contact with the supply body from an opposite side of the accommodating portion with reference to the mouth portion so as to prevent the supply body from being detached from the base body; a pressing portion that presses the supply body against the drop prevention portion to close the container interior; and a restricting portion that, when the supply body is pressed against the pressing force of the pressing portion, restricts displacement of the supply body by coming into contact with the supply body, wherein the supply body separates from the drop-preventing portion, a supply flow path for supplying the chemical liquid to the outside of the container is formed between the supply body and the drop-preventing portion, and the supply body blocks the supply flow path by coming into contact with the drop-preventing portion.

The chemical liquid supply device is connected to the mouth of the container, and supplies the chemical liquid through the supply flow path when the supply body is pressed against the pressing force of the pressing portion, so that the chemical liquid can be prevented from being insufficiently supplied, and the supply body abuts against the restricting portion to restrict the displacement (pressing stroke) of the supply body, so that the chemical liquid can be prevented from being excessively supplied through the supply flow path. Thus, the amount of the chemical solution supplied can be controlled within a certain range.
