Fig. 1 is the exploded view of an embodiment of the lid structure of feed stuff for pet fish tube usefulness of the present invention.Fig. 2 is the profile that the feed tube of above-mentioned lid structure is housed.As shown in the figure, lid 110 is bolted in the top of feed cylindrical shell 100.Lid 110 comprises a lid 10.The roof of lid 10 is equipped with a dismountable capping plug 20 and a measuring spoon 30.

The above-mentioned structure that is bolted in the lid 10 at cylindrical shell 100 tops is enough to control from cylindrical shell 100 interior amounts of taking out feed.That is to say that the roof of lid 10 has the

recess

11 and 12 of a pair of different size.The large scale recess 12 that is used to hold measuring spoon 30 roughly is formed at the central authorities of roof, and the small size recess 11 that is used to hold capping plug 20 is formed at around the peripheral part of the lid roof of above-mentioned large scale recess 12.These two

recesses

11 and 12 partly overlapping, thereby the lap place between them interconnects.The bottom centre place of small size recess 11 has a feed outlet opening 11A.Simultaneously, the rounded guiding prodger 12A of a cross section is positioned on the bottom 12D of large scale groove 12 prejudicially, and the prodger that promptly leads 12A is near the sidewall 12C of recess 12, be erected on the 12D of bottom away from the position of small size recess 11.In other words, above-mentioned guiding prodger 12A is close to sidewall 12C but with sidewall 12C one gap is arranged.On sidewall 12C, has a pair of relative ridge 12B near the recess 12 of above-mentioned lap.Above-mentioned ridge 12B is used for preventing that measuring spoon 30 from deviating from from recess accidentally.Large scale recess 12 is deeper than small size recess 11.

The structure of small size recess 11 is enough to hold capping plug 20, and capping plug 20 can selectively be opened and under controllable situation, take out feed from the feed tube.The structure of large scale recess is enough to hold the measuring spoon 30 that is used to measure quantitative feed.

Guiding prodger 12A is used for measuring spoon 30 is done location or guiding when removably being placed recess 12 usefulness.The height of guiding prodger 12A is preferably lower than the height of the sidewall 12C of recess 12.Therefore, when measuring spoon 30 placed recess 12 as shown in Figure 2, the measuring spoon surface can not exceed the roof of lid 10.

Two relative ridge 12B of recess 12 are used for preventing as mentioned above measuring spoon deviating from accidentally from recess 12.

Capping plug 20 comprises an elliptical plate part 21, and it will be placed in the small size recess 11.Its neck 22 extends out from a sidewall of plate part 21 with being integral.

The bottom surface of capping plug 20 has a hemispherical ridge 21A and be used for blocking feed outlet opening 11A when capping plug 20 places recess 11.Neck 22 has a swivel pin 22A in its each side, and has a thick stick sledge ridge 22B in its bottom surface.The free end of neck 22 is sharpened and forms the V-shaped wedge shaped tip 22C of a cross section.

That is to say that the ridge 21A on the capping plug 20 is patchhole 11A selectively, thereby when capping plug 20 places recess 11, can block hole 11A.Thick stick sledge protrusion 22B on the capping plug 20 and the angle of recess 11 13 forms sliding-contacts, and rotates and match with the fulcrum as leverage with angle 13 when being opened or closed around swivel pin 22A in that capping plug 20 is as mentioned below.Angle 13 is the boundary angles between two

recesses

11 and 12.

Two relative swivel pin 22A on the capping plug 20 match with the hinged groove 32 in the measuring spoon 30 and make capping plug 20 be articulated in measuring spoon 30, thereby make capping plug 20 match with measuring spoon 30.Swivel pin 22A also as capping plug 20 for the hole 11A that opens or closes recess 11 around the rotating shaft of rotating.Measuring spoon 30 is cut partly to form an insertion groove radially 31 that is used for neck 22 cooperations of capping plug 20.The above-mentioned both sides that are used for being formed at the radially insertion groove 31 of measuring spoon 30 with the hinged groove 32 that the swivel pin 22A of capping plug cooperates.The end of above-mentioned radially insertion groove 31 forms a wedge-shaped slot 31A, and the wedge shaped tip 22C of it and capping plug 20 forms and is slidingly matched, as shown in Figure 2.When with finger when the upper section of wedge-shaped slot 31A is pressed on measuring spoon 30 in the recess 12 downwards, as shown in Figure 3, the wedge shaped tip 22C of capping plug 20 will be depressed, and slide in wedge-shaped slot 31A simultaneously.Like this, capping plug 20 just rises plate part 21 and opens hole 11A around swivel pin 22A rotates.At this moment, just can feed be taken out and be spilled into aquarium from tube by hole 11A.

Measuring spoon 30 has a pair of groove 33 on its end face 30A.When measuring spoon 30 was placed recess 12, above-mentioned groove 33 matched with two relative ridge 12B of recess 12, to prevent that measuring spoon 30 is deviate from from recess 12.As mentioned above, measuring spoon 30 by partial cut to form the radially insertion groove 31 match with capping plug neck 22.The both sides of above-mentioned radially insertion groove 31 have the hinged groove that matches with the swivel pin 22A of capping plug.Wedge-shaped slot 31A has the V-arrangement cross section similar to the wedge shaped tip 22C of capping plug.

The width of elongated open of each hinged groove 32 that is formed at groove 31 both sides is less than the diameter of groove 32, the swivel pin 22A of capping plug 20 is stuck in the groove 32 allowing.

In the present invention, preferably allow the capping plug wedge shaped tip 22C of V-arrangement cross section and measuring spoon radially the wedge-shaped slot 31 of insertion groove 31 form and be slidingly matched, rather than closely contact mutually.

As mentioned above, a pair of groove 33 forms in two relative edges of measuring spoon 30 end faces.Above-mentioned groove 33 matches with the relative ridge 12B of recess 12, to prevent making measuring spoon 30 deviate from recess 12 accidentally.One sidewall 34 is from extending out vertically away from the edge of the measuring spoon 30 of insertion groove 31 radially, to form the spoon groove 35 that a bale-out feed is used.As shown in Figure 2, when measuring spoon 30 is placed recess 12, above-mentioned sidewall 34 will place the gap between the sidewall 12C of guiding prodger 12A and recess 12.The height of sidewall 34 is enough to make when measuring spoon is placed recess 12 fully sidewall 34 to contact with the bottom 12D of recess 12.The surperficial 30B local dent of measuring spoon 30 and form the bottom of spoon groove 34.That is to say that the thickness of spoon trench bottom contains the radially thickness of the part of insertion groove less than other.

In the present invention, capping plug 20 and measuring spoon 30 are preferably made by soft synthetic resin material, so that they are with point can strain when pressing down measuring spoon 30 in the upper section of wedge-shaped slot 31A.By the elastic-restoring force that the capping plug of being made by soft synthetic resin 20 and measuring spoon 30 are had, can realize being used for the lever motion of the hole 11A of opening and closing recess 11 smoothly.

With finger when depressing the end face 30A of measuring spoon 30, as shown in Figure 3, the measuring spoon of being made by soft synthetic resin material 30 is at an easy rate around the downward deflection of prodger 12A as the fulcrum of motion, thereby lifts the plate part 21 of capping plug 20 and open hole 11A.When external force when measuring spoon 30 removes, measuring spoon 30 elastic recoverys are to its original state.

The result of use of above-mentioned lid structure is described below.

As shown in Figure 3, with pointing the end face 30A that depresses the measuring spoon 30 that places recess 12 gently, measuring spoon will the deflection downwards around guiding prodger 12A.In this state, be contained in measuring spoon radially the wedge shaped tip 22C of the capping plug 20 among the wedge-shaped slot 31A of insertion groove 31 be depressed, and in groove 31A, slide simultaneously.Like this, capping plug 20 rotates around swivel pin 22A with respect to measuring spoon 30, thereby lifts plate part 21, opens hole 11A.

In this case, sliding at 13 places, boundary angle as the fulcrum of thick stick sledge effect in the capping plug bottom surface, thereby has opened hole 11A.

When the feed tube under the above-mentioned state was tilted, as shown in Figure 3, the feed of requirement both can be poured out from tube 100, also can directly be spilled into aquarium.For shutting capping plug 20, will point from measuring spoon item face 30A and remove, thereby make measuring spoon 30 flexibly recover its original state by the restoring force that accumulates in wherein.In this case, the thick stick sledge ridge 22B on the capping plug 20 is hooked by angle 13, thereby makes the ridge 21A on the capping plug 20 to be positioned at exactly on the 11A of hole.When depressing capping plug 20 under the above-mentioned state gently with finger, hole 11A just can be blocked by ridge 21A.

When coming to the pet fish feeding, if should keep health accurately to measure quantitative feed again, can pull the plate part 21 that lifted to mention the capping plug of having opened with said method 20 with above-mentioned feed tube.Like this, capping plug 20 and the measuring spoon 30 that is articulated can be taken off from lid 10 simultaneously.

After upset measuring spoon 30 makes spoon groove 34 up, can carefully quantitative feed be poured in spoon groove 34, as shown in Figure 4, then be spilled into aquarium again.

After measuring quantitative feed with measuring spoon 30 exactly and giving the pet fish feeding, capping plug 20 and measuring spoon 30 to be inserted in the

recess

11 and 12 in the lid 10 again, its step is as described below.At first, measuring spoon sidewall 34 is embedded in the gap of leading between prodger 12A and the recess 12 sidewall 12C, the groove 33 of measuring spoon 30 is matched with the ridge 12B of recess 12, after measuring spoon 30 is placed recess 12, depress again be articulated in measuring spoon 30 capping plug 20 to be placed in the recess 11.

When capping plug 20 was placed recess 11 as mentioned above, the ridge 21A that is formed at capping plug 20 bottom surfaces had just blocked the hole 11A of recess 11.Therefore, capping plug 20 and measuring spoon 30 have all recovered their original states in lid 10.
