Description

  The present invention relates to a quantitative discharge tap for taking out a certain amount of these granular materials from a bottle (glass or plastic container) containing, for example, instant coffee, sugar, flour, detergent and the like. In addition, a granular material means the state of a powder or a granule.

  When using a granular material, generally it is scooped with a spoon and taken out from a bottle or the like in an appropriate amount. However, it takes time and effort required to use a spoon (working such as finishing and washing). There is proposed a fixed-quantity discharge plug for powder and granule that allows a fixed amount to be discharged simply by tilting the mouth of the bottle. FIG. 7 shows a conventional example.

  The fixed-quantity discharge plug Pa of the granular material of the figure consists of a main body 101 (consisting of two members) that is fitted and screwed into the mouth of the bottle Qa, and a lid 103 that is rotatably attached to the main body 101. In addition, the main body 101 is provided with a preliminary chamber 107 in which the granular material flows from the notch 105 when the bottle Qa is inverted, and the granular material falls from the preliminary chamber 107 when the bottle Qa is turned upright. A measuring chamber 109 is provided, and on the opposite side of the notch 105, a discharge path 111 leading from the measuring chamber 109 to the bottle opening is provided, and a bottom wall 113 of the measuring chamber 109 is formed with a guide slope to the discharge path 111.

Therefore, in order to discharge a certain amount of powder particles accumulated in the measuring chamber 109, the bottle Q needs to be inverted again. At this time, it is necessary to match the mouth 117 of the lid 103 with the mouth 115 of the discharge path 111.

  According to the above-described conventional quantitative discharge stopper for granular material, in the quantitative discharge operation, the bottle Qa is once inverted, the granular material is stored in the measuring chamber 109, and then inverted again to store the granular material in the measuring chamber 109. Since the granular material is discharged from the discharge path 111, not only does the upside-down operation require twice again, but also the first upside down is the rear side Ra1, and the next upside down is the front side Rb. The operation is very troublesome, the structure is complicated and not suitable for mass production, and since the screw 119 of the bottle Qa is hidden, the bottle lid cannot be used.

  In view of the above circumstances, this device is a powder that can take out a fixed amount of powder from a bottle by a single upside down operation and can use a bottle lid, despite its simple structure. It was set as the subject to provide the fixed-quantity discharge stopper of a granular material.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention is a fixed-quantity discharge stopper for granular material in a container that covers the outer periphery of the mouth, and is provided with a discharge outlet in a cutout shape at one end of the seal stopper. A partition piece facing in parallel with both side edges of the pipe is suspended, and a flat small lid that closes the discharge port is opened between the two partition pieces so that the powder particles are scraped simultaneously with the opening. The movable spatula for scraping, which is always pinched, is bent and provided integrally, and the latching pawls that are releasably engaged with both sides of the discharge port on both sides of the small mouth flat lid so that the small mouth flat lid can be held normally closed. A finger hook is provided so that it can be opened by removing the latching claw on the small lid, and there are stoppers on both sides of the discharge port that are applied when the scraping of the partition piece is completed. Powder having an adjustment device capable of changing the bending angle of the movable spatula with respect to the flat lid Providing dispensing closure body.

  Since the fixed-quantity discharge stopper for powder is configured as described above, it is possible to prevent the powder from becoming wet by putting a lid on the bottle, and when removing the powder, remove the lid, Open the small flat cover with your finger in the inverted state while tilting it toward the discharge port. Then, since the movable spatula simultaneously rotates toward the discharge port, the granular material between the two partition pieces is scraped off, and the movable spatula stops at the stopper and seals the discharge port. Is discharged by a certain amount. After that, when the bottle is erected, the small flat lid is returned and the discharge port is closed, the movable spatula is lowered at the same time. It is easy to hold this lowered state, and a weight may be attached to the lower end thereof (claim 2). In order to increase or decrease the discharge amount, the angle of the movable spatula with respect to the small-mouth flat lid is adjusted by an adjusting device.

  As explained above, according to the fixed-quantity discharge stopper of the granular material of the present invention, the structure is simple, so that it is suitable for mass production, as well as the fixed-quantity granular material can be taken out from the bottle by one upside down operation. In addition, the amount can be adjusted, which is advantageous. In addition, since the bottle lid can be used, there is an excellent effect that the preservability of the granular material as the contents can be improved.

  Next, an embodiment of the invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 to FIG. 5 show an example of an instant coffee packaging bottle Q. A fixed-quantity discharge plug P of the granular material is a seal plug attached to the bottle Q from the beginning (at the time of sale). Although implemented, it may be installed by the user. Reference numeral 2 denotes a male screw to which the lid 1 is screwed.

  The fixed amount discharge plug P is made of plastic and mainly comprises a seal plug 7 bonded to the edge of the mouth of the bottle Q. The discharge port 9 is provided at one end of the seal plug 7. As for the opening 9, the part is vertically cut in parallel by facing the left and right edges of the partitioning pieces 11, 11 by cutting the part into two parts. A small spatula 13 that opens and closes the discharge port 9 is refracted integrally with a movable spatula 15 sandwiched between the partitioning pieces 11, 11, and is centered on a shaft 17 that is fixed to the inner angle of refraction. To swing. The shaft 17 is supported by penetrating both the partitioning pieces 11, 11, and when the small-mouth flat lid 13 is opened around the shaft 17, the movable spatula 15 simultaneously operates so as to scrape out the granular material. In this embodiment, the movable spatula 15 is bent into an L shape. However, it is natural that the movable spatula 15 may be formed in a U shape or a box shape.

  Since the small-mouth flat lid 13 needs to be closed at all times, latching claws 19, 19 are provided on the left and right sides of the small-mouth flat lid 13 so that the small-mouth flat lid 13 can be kept closed, and the left and right edges of the discharge port 9 are hooked. Engagement holes 21, 21 on which the pawls 19, 19 are formed are formed in both partition pieces 11, 11 with pores. A weight 23 is attached to the lower end of the movable spatula 15 so that it always hangs down. This also has the effect of holding the small-mouth flat lid 13 closed. Further, stoppers 20 and 20 for stopping the movable spatula 15 are formed on the seal plug 7 simultaneously with the formation of the discharge port 9.

  The tip of the small-mouth flat lid 13 is a finger hook 14, and when the bottle Q is turned upside down and the granular material is transferred to the mouth (the state shown in FIG. 5), the small-mouth flat lid 13 is opened while the finger is hooked. Then, the movable spatula 15 rotates integrally to scrape out the powder particles between the partition pieces 11 and 11 (see arrows in FIG. 5). FIG. 6 shows the final state of scraping. Since the movable spatula 15 is stopped by the stoppers 20 and 20, the discharge port 9 is sealed. 13 is closed (two-dot chain line in the figure).

  The movable spatula 15 is easily returned to its original position by the weight 23. Further, since the rotation range of the movable spatula 15 changes depending on the degree of the bending angle with respect to the small-mouth flat lid 13, the adjusting device 25 is attached to the seal plug 7 so that the angle can be changed as means for adjusting the discharge amount. Provided.

  The adjustment device 25 uses elastic deformation accompanying plastic molding of the small-mouth flat lid 13 and the movable spatula 15, and the seal plug 7 is provided with a vertical axis 29 that rotates with a knob 27 and is movable on the vertical axis 29. A side leg 31 that presses against the spatula 15 is refracted and integrally provided, and an adjustment bearing 33 that can fix the vertical axis 29 in the rotational position is provided below the seal plug 7. Therefore, if the angle between the movable spatula 15 and the small-mouth flat lid 13 is set small by rotating the knob 3 and pushing the movable spatula 15 (from α to β in FIG. 4), the discharge amount of the granular material Is set to be less.

It is a perspective view of the bottle equipped with the fixed-quantity discharge stopper of the granular material of this device.
