  • Patent number: 10954113
    Abstract: A flexible container (80) includes a reservoir part (82) that reserves a liquid and a discharge passage part (81) that communicates with the reservoir part (82) to take out the liquid. A discharge pump includes a plurality of roller parts (50) that press the discharge passage part (81) and an endless transfer mechanism unit (60) that has the plurality of roller parts (50) attached at a predetermined interval and causes the roller parts (50) to go around. The endless transfer mechanism unit (60) has an arrangement including a straight-line portion in which the roller parts (50) linearly move, in a path of the go-around movement. An attachment interval of the plurality of roller parts (50) is set to such an interval that before a certain roller part (50) going around reaches a position where the certain roller part (50) does not press the discharge passage part (81), a subsequent roller part (50) is able to reach a position where the subsequent roller part (50) presses the discharge passage part (81).

  • Publication number: 20190337787
    Abstract: A flexible container (80) is held and pressed by an extrusion mechanism unit (10) to continuously apply a pressure to a content in the container. A discharge passage part (81) of the flexible container (80) is pressed by roller parts while the roller parts are linearly moved with an endless transfer mechanism unit (60), and the discharge passage part (81) expanded with an inflow of the content is put into a state of being sequentially squeezed by the roller parts. Therefore, the content in the discharge passage part (81) is advanced toward an end of the discharge passage part in accordance with the linear movement of the roller parts and it is possible to discharge a proper amount of content by adjusting a state of movement of the roller parts.
