Container with a measuring chamber for the quantitative measurement of granular material or the like.

The invention relates to a container with a measuring chamber for the quantitative measurement of granular, powdery or any other similar material.

The invention is based on the object of providing a device for such containers that is hygienic and very is easy to operate and also provides an automatic, accurate, quantitative measurement of granular, powdery or other similar material contained in the container by simply holding or tilting the container at an angle. The use of hands or mechanical instruments such as ladles or the like should be avoided. The device should also enable the material to be easily poured out of the container if necessary.

According to the invention, this object is achieved in a container of the type mentioned in that the measuring chamber is formed by one end of an inclined wall that allows the material in the container to flow into the chamber, an outer wall of the container and an inclined interception wound, which is so is arranged to enclose a predetermined angle with the outer wall such that a space is formed between the end of the oblique wall and the oblique cushioning wall, which is an inlet for the material in the chamber, and that the arrangement is also made such that that the material in the measuring chamber flows along the outer wall when it is emptied and that the grief at the end of the outer wall

The material amount measuring chamber according to the present invention is preferably formed in one piece with one end of the container, but the same effect can also thereby be achieved. aims to separate this material quantity measuring chamber part manufactures and on the container body by jointing, by gluing, by an elastic holder or by other means.

The invention will now be explained in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings described, with all details or features emerging from the description and the figures for the solution the task within the meaning of the invention and were included in the application with the intention of being patented.

There is also a sloping wall 5 is provided, which away from the end wall 3 at a predetermined angle cC extends inwardly relative to this end wall.

Between the end 6 of the inclined wall 4 and the inclined catch wall 5 is a barely formed as an inlet 7 for the Material flow is used.

It can also be seen that a bent edge 8 on one The end of the end wall 3 is formed

The material quantity measuring chamber 9 according to the invention is shown in FIG a preferred embodiment by the combination of the end wall 3, one end of the inclined wall 4 and the inclined Interception wall 5 formed. In another embodiment, like the one in Pig. 3 shown, however, the end 6 of the inclined wall 4 can be further extended and bent so that an additional inclined wall 10 is made in the chamber 9, which meets the flow behavior of the material P, whereupon is received.

The quantity measuring chamber 9 is constructed so that it has a size which corresponds to the amount of material P in one dispensing operation.

The length 1 of the sloping wall 5 (FIG. 2) is set so that the end 5 ^{r of} this wall 5 lies on the extension of a vertical line ρ - ρ which connects the end 6 of the sloping wall and the bottom of the end wall 3 . This length 1 represents the minimum length of the inclined retaining wall 5, whereby it can be expanded to match the flow prevention of the material P, which will be explained later.

The amount of material - Aba0J3kajnmer: is shown in Fig. 1 at the upper end of the age, the chamber can also be in a position at the lower end which is reversed with respect to Fig. 1

of the container, specifically in the pail, that a cover part (not shown) for opening and closing below the bent edge 8 at the end of the end wall 3 is provided.

Although in this embodiment the container consists of a rectangular box, obviously others can Appropriate shapes, such as triangles or other polygons or cylinders, can be used to achieve the same effect.

When handling the container 1 in the embodiment of the invention described above, it is gradually inclined downwards, until it is finally turned all the way around, whereby the material P, which is initially in the Pig. 4 is located, is moved sequentially in the manner shown in Figures 5-7 to finally enter the material quantity measuring chamber 9 flow.

Then the container 1 from the Pig. 7 shown in swiveled the position shown in Pig * 8, with the material F from the chamber 9 flows out.

If one explains the above process in more detail, must be found that in a position in which the inclined wall 4 according to Pig. 5 is horizontal, while the container 1 is moved from the position according to Pig. 4 in the opposite position 7, the material P flows onto the inclined wall 4 and is retained from it, further over the edge 6 of the inclined Wall to run. This is due to the fact that the downward strong gravity acts on the material P on the inclined wall 4, in contrast to that weak force effective in transverse direction, and that the material P on the inclined retaining wall 5 is prevented by this from flow down asu. This eliminates all other forces, which is applied to the material P on the inclined wall 4 worked. 009829/0894

When the container is out of its in Pig. 5 position shown, is further inclined or tilted so that the inclined wall 4 leaves its horizontal position and is inclined downward as shown in FIG is, the material P now flows over the edge 6 of the wall 4 and out of the inlet 7 down into a position according to FIG Pig. 7 in which the container is completely upside down. The material P flows unhindered into the material quantity measuring chamber 9 and forms a material pyramid (or a cone). The pyramid or the cone prevents further inflow of the material P from the inlet 7.. ■

It is also noted that the material P is in the material amount measuring chamber 9 subjected to a strong, downwardly effective force of gravity and only a weak lateral effective force is, and that the bent edge 8 at the end of the end wall 3 is formed so that the material P is retained and cannot flow out of the chamber 9 immediately. The remaining part of the material P is also through the inclined intercepting wall 5 caught, whereby all other forces are switched off, so that the pyramid or the cone on their cordoned off side do not collapse.

In the preceding discussion, the operation of the device has been covered step by step for the sake of clarity, as the container is moved out of the Pig. 5 to the position according to Pig · 7, but in reality this process can be carried out quickly and in one go.

However, if the above handling of the device is carried out roughly or carelessly, e.g. by shaking it vigorously, there is a risk that the pyramid * will collapse, so that the material P will fly out of the measuring chamber 9 and also the material from the very tight wall 4 can flow into it.

In order to exclude this risk, an additional inclined wall 10 can be provided in the material quantity discharge camera 9,

which is formed by extending the end 6 of the inclined wall 4 and bent to fit, as in the second embodiment of the invention in Pig. 3, whereby 'collapse' of the pyramidal material P is prevented.

After the material P in the chamber 9 has been measured quantitatively, the container 1 is tilted again in such a way that its emptying opening pointing downwards, the material P along the inside of the end wall 3 and the rear side of the sloping Wall 4 flows downwards and emerges from the container.

In this pail can, because the material P on the upper side the inclined wall 4 slides back into the container from the edge 6 of the inclined wall, and the material P over the inclined intercepting wall 5 is caught and cannot flow downwards, no further material can flow into the material quantity measuring chamber 9, so that the amount of material dispensed from this chamber is always fixed.

In this embodiment. the length 1 of the inclined wall 5 is set so that the end 5 ^{1 of} the wall 5 lies on the extension of a vertical line ρ - ρ, which is drawn from the end 6 of the inclined wall 4 vertically to the end wall 3, as in Pig. 2, however, this length can be extended by an appropriate amount in order to catch a greater amount of the material P flowing over the inclined intercepting wall 5. Furthermore, since a pouring spout or a kind of funnel is formed by the inclined interception wall 5 and the inclined wall 4, the flow of the material P on the inclined wall 4 is accelerated.

In a container according to the invention with that described above Puncture may contain the granular, powdery material in it or any other similar material that is required in a fixed amount in each application, wherein. these materials of a small grain or small particle size, such as coffee, milk powder, sugar, · .spices and

other various additives for dishes used in kitchens up to coarse-grained material, such as detergents and the like. This to be delivered in one tilting process Materials are stored in the material quantity measuring chamber 9 automatically measured and dispensed from this by simply tilting the container without the material suddenly would fly out.

Furthermore, it is not necessary to use the hands, so that the device is hygienic and it is also fire resistant. Furthermore, since an extra flow of material is prevented by the inclined intercepting wall, the measured material is prevented from flying out of the container during the tipping process. Due to the shape of the inclined wall or the funnel, which is formed by this-s-wall, a uniform and rapid flow of the material in the container is achieved and, furthermore, an automatic separation and precise dispensing of the measured amount of material is guaranteed.
