DE102016003684A1 - Container with level indicator on inclination - Google Patents

Abstract

The invention relates to a container with level indicator for flowable contents, in which the remaining filling during pouring is readable by an angle-correct scale. Thereby, the amount of each poured content during casting by the adjustment of the holding angle and reading a scale can be determined.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The invention relates to a container with level indicator for flowable contents. Specifically, it is a container with scaling, which runs in multiple angles instead of parallel, for example, a measuring cup.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION - PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED

So far, it is only possible with several operations to remove from a container with level indicator exact subsets.

In this case, the container to determine the amount withdrawn - usually several times - placed on a horizontal surface to first read off the remaining amount and determine the subset of the difference to the original filling. If no horizontal surface is available, an exact control is hardly possible.

Also, it has so far required special skill, containers with level indicator, which are held in the hand or can stand on any horizontal surface to fill in a single pass with the exact amount desired.

TASK

The object of the invention is to be able to determine or adjust amounts to be filled during the pouring.

Another object of the invention is to be able to feed the container in one step with the exact amount of contents.

STATE OF THE ART

So far, it is not possible, when pouring from a container freehand, the amount of material to be filled to determine dynamically by monitoring the angle of the pouring during the process and the pouring process is then stopped when the amount to be filled is reached.

Intellectual property applications that seem to involve this relate to each other's tasks:
DE000020312652U1 describes a measuring cup with scale and bulk material designation, which is mounted on an adjustable base with bulk material marking. Here bulk materials with different density are to be measured on a constant scale. The exact filling and emptying takes place, depending on the skill of the user, in several steps.

In DE000009401796U1 a measuring cup has an additional, in 45 ° angle mounted parallel running scaling of small quantities, this is to facilitate the measurement of said small amounts. The exact filling and emptying takes place, depending on the skill of the user, again in several steps.

DE 20 2004 009 337 U1 has a rounded scale, which is attached to a handle on a quarter-circle approximate wall. The exact filling and emptying takes place, depending on the skill of the user, also in several steps.

DE 20 2005 001 319 U1 is a measuring cup with miniaturization function in the tilting main container, which has another, parallel to the scale of the smallest measurement function extending footprint. The exact filling and emptying must also be done in several steps.

SOLUTION

The solution according to the invention, on the other hand, provides for a scale which, following the wall of the container, points towards each other at angles from the pouring point downwards, indicating the level of the inclined container at different angles of inclination, the respective marking being intended to correspond to the surface of the filling material.

It can thus be determined by measuring quantities that the container is slowly tilted to the remaining amount remaining in each case and emptied accordingly.

An advantage consists in the fact that when filling the container this can be suitably inclined and so long with filling material can be fed until the desired amount is reached on the scale.

If the container with level indicator on a horizontal plane, it can be filled as usual in one operation.

DESCRIPTION ACCORDING TO THE DRAWING

1 shows a container, here by way of example a measuring cup ( 1 ), with a scale for the horizontal position ( 2 ) and a slope for pouring / loading ( 3 ).
