Abstract
A spinning liquid delivery container comprises a spinning device. The spinning device is installed at a rear end of a liquid storage cylinder and is formed by a rod body and a cap. The rod body is axially screwed into the cap. A part of the rod body extends to the cap so that the cap is rotatable freely. The rod body has a rod head, the rod head is adhered to an inner wall of the liquid storage cylinder. The spinning device is positioned at a rear end of the liquid storage cylinder. When the cap pushes the rod body to move forwards, the rod head will move slowly to press the liquid surface of the liquid storage cylinder. As a result, the pressure of the liquid in the liquid storage cylinder increases; thus, liquid can be drained out.
Description




FIELD OF THE INVENTION




The present invention relates to container, and particularly to a spinning liquid delivery container, wherein a spinning device is added to a rear end of a liquid storage cylinder. When the user rotates the spinning device to apply a pressure to the liquid in the liquid storage cylinder, the liquid can drain out steady.




BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION




The prior art coating, erasing-or writing tools (such as correction liquid pen, writing pens, etc.) has a liquid delivery container. Referring to

FIG. 1

, in these containers, a soft liquid storage cylinder is filled with liquid. The user gives a pressure to the liquid storage cylinder to give a pressure to the liquid so that the liquid flows out from an outlet at a front end of the container. The prior art structure is simple. In use, the user must give a pressure to deform the liquid storage cylinder. The flow cannot be well controlled.




With reference to

FIG. 2

, an improvement of the prior art liquid storage cylinder is shown. In this prior art, a rear end of the liquid storage cylinder is installed with a plug push device so that the pressure in a gas chamber increases to drive the plug in the liquid storage cylinder to move forwards so as to apply a pressure to the liquid in the liquid storage cylinder. Thereby, liquid in the liquid storage cylinder drains out from a front end of the liquid storage cylinder. This prior art has the following disadvantages. Many components are required to form the press type liquid container. The volume of the gas chamber is small, pressure applied can not be well controlled so that volume of output liquid is too much or too less. When the liquid in the liquid storage cylinder is less, the user must press many times for driving the liquid out. The flow is uncontrollable so that it is not suitable for devices necessary to fine-control the liquid flow.




SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION




Accordingly, the primary object of the present invention is to provide a spinning liquid delivery container. The container comprises a spinning device. The spinning device is installed at a rear end of the liquid storage cylinder and is formed by a rod body and a cap. The rod body is axially screwed into the cap; a part of the rod body with a predetermined length is extended to the cap so that the cap is at a rear end of the liquid storage cylinder and is rotatable freely. The rod body has a rod head. The rod head is adhered to an inner wall of the liquid storage cylinder so as to retain a predetermined damping stress. Thereby, the spinning device can be positioned at a rear end of the liquid storage cylinder. Then the cap will push the rod body to move forwards so that the rod head will move slowly to press the liquid surface of the liquid storage cylinder. As a result, the pressure of the liquid in the liquid storage cylinder increases. Thus, liquid can be drained out from the outlet in the front end of the liquid storage cylinder.




The various objects and advantages of the present invention will be more readily understood from the following detailed description when read in conjunction with the appended drawing.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS




Referring to

FIGS. 3

to


5


, the spinning liquid delivery container of the present invention is illustrated. The spinning liquid delivery container includes a spinning device


1


. The spinning device


1


is installed at a rear end of the liquid storage cylinder


2


and is formed by a rod body


11


and a cap


12


. The rod body


11


is a screw rod with male thread


110


and is axially screwed into a threaded hole


120


in the cap


12


. A periphery of the rod head


111


of the rod body


11


is mounted with a washer


112


. A pad S and a silicone plug


113


are placed at a front end of the rod body


11


. A part of the rod body


11


with a predetermined length is extended to the cap


12


. In the engaging portion of the cap


12


and the liquid storage cylinder


2


, the cap


12


has a rib


121


and the liquid storage cylinder


2


has an annular groove


21


so that the cap


12


is exactly engaged to a rear end of the liquid storage cylinder


2


and is rotatable freely. At the same time, the rod head


111


is adhered to an inner wall of the liquid storage cylinder


2


. The washer


112


deforms since it is extruded by the inner wall so as to retain a predetermined damping stress. Thereby, when the cap


12


is rotated, the rod body


11


will not be driven to rotate. By above said structure, the spinning device


1


can be positioned at a rear end of the liquid storage cylinder


2


. When the level of the liquid storage cylinder


2


is reduced, as shown in

FIG. 6

, the cap


12


can be rotated. Then cap


12


will push the rod body


11


to move forwards so that the rod head


111


will move slowly to press the liquid surface of the liquid storage cylinder


2


(referring to FIG.


7


). As a result, the pressure of the liquid


20


in the liquid storage cylinder


2


increases (referring to FIG.


8


). Thus, liquid


20


can be drained out from the outlet


22


in the front end of the liquid storage cylinder


2


.




Referring to

FIGS. 3

to


7


, it is illustrated that a helical spring


114


is placed between the rod head


111


and the plug


113


. The helical spring


114


serves to store energy. When the cap


12


is rotated so as to push the rod


11


, the rod head


111


will push the helical spring


114


and the plug


113


. The plug


113


applies a pressure upon the liquid


20


. When the internal pressure of the liquid


20


in the liquid storage cylinder


2


is larger than the stress of the helical spring


114


, the helical spring


114


is compressed and thus deforms (referring to FIG.


8


). The liquid


20


flows out of the outlet


21


so that the internal pressure of the liquid storage cylinder


2


is decreased. At the same time, the helical spring


114


will release energy due to the deformation and ejects the plug


113


to give a pressure to the liquid surface until the helical spring


114


restores slowly. Thereby, the liquid is drained out steadily in a long time period and the spinning device


1


can be actuated again. By above feature, the liquid storage cylinder


2


outputs liquid


20


steadily in a long time period. Of course, this steady flow control and transfer can be used in coating or writing tools, especially, used in fine-coating and fine-writing.




The present invention is thus described, it will be obvious that the same may be varied in many ways. Such variations are not to be regarded as a departure from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and all such modifications as would be obvious to one skilled in the art are intended to be included within the scope of the following claims.
