Abstract

Containers for loose goods used both in household and in sales
with at least one outer container (1) with a precision electronic scale (4) arranged on the inside on the inside with a weighing plate (5), with an energy store, with signal processing with a display field (6) and with a tare key (7),
and with an inner container (2) for the loose goods, wherein the inner container (2) is insertable into the outer container and thereby supported on the weighing plate (5).

Description

The invention relates to a container for loose goods such as food and groceries and spices, which is used both for sale and in the home use and its weight content can be displayed. In particular, these should be solid spreadable food and groceries.

It is known z. B. from the DE 10 2015 014 704 A1 and the GB 2 419 973 A Using a precision balance to determine the remaining filling quantity of packaging and use the result for inventory purposes or for goods orders.

Furthermore, domestic and sales scales are known which indicate the weight of a quantity of food taken from a package.

An information about the remaining amount in the packaging do not give such scales.

The object of the invention is to display by means of a balance the remaining filling and / or the amount removed of bulk goods from a container.

This object is achieved with the features of claims 1 or 6. Advantageous embodiments are the subject of the dependent claims.

An inventive container for loose goods, which is used both in the home and in sales, consists at least of an outer container with a bottom inside arranged electronic precision balance with a weighing plate, with an energy storage, with a signal processing with a display panel and with a tara Button, and from an inner container for the loose goods, wherein the inner container is insertable into the outer container and is supported on the weighing plate.

The advantage of this double container is that the loose goods have no direct contact with the precision balance. This can not be contaminated by the loose goods. Furthermore, the inner container can be removed and cleaned after its emptying.

The display panel is preferably arranged below the upper edge of the outer container. It is so well visible.

For the assembly, two alternatives are provided. Thus, it is provided that the inner and the outer container are composed at the same height complete or the outer container has a lower shell height than the inner container.

In the latter embodiment, it is advantageous if the inner container circumference in the section, which is no longer covered by the outer container, corresponds to that of the outer container.

In addition to the double container design according to the invention, a design is provided in which only one container is used. This container for loose goods has an in-ground electronic precision balance with signal processing, an externally rechargeable energy storage and a display panel.

The loose goods lie directly on the weighing pan of the precision balance.

Preferably, the weighing pan is sealed against the inner wall of the container with a highly elastic seal.

A tare key for establishing the zero position of the precision balance before the removal of loose goods is operable from outside the container.

In both embodiments, it is provided that after removal of loose goods on the display panel, the weight of the removed loose goods can be displayed and / or the weight of remaining in the inner container or in the container loose goods. This will be explained in more detail in the embodiment.

Likewise, both versions provide that the respective precision balance has a connection for a charging cable for the energy storage. Depending on the intended location of the respective container, an energy supply from solar cells, arranged outside on the outer container or the container, is possible.

• 1 einen Doppelbehälter und
• 2 einen einfachen Behälter.

The invention will be explained with reference to the drawings. Show it:

• 1 a double container and
• 2 a simple container.

1 shows an inventive embodiment of a container for loose goods, which is used both in the home and in sales. The container consists of an outer container 1 with a bottom-mounted electronic precision balance 4 with a weighing plate 5 , with an energy storage, with signal processing with a display panel 6 and with a tare key 7 ,

In the outer container 1 is an inner container 2 can be used for loose goods, with the inner container 2 can be used in the outer container and after the inserts on the weighing plate 5 supported. As a weighing plate 5 Here the surface is designated, whose load can be detected by the precision balance and the signal processing for the display is transmitted as weight information.

The ad field 6 is below the upper edge of the outer container 1 arranged and thus well visible. After a removal of loose goods will appear on the display 6 the weight of the removed loose goods displayed and / or the weight of the inner container 2 or in the container 3 remaining loose goods.

The indication of the weight of the removed loose product can be used in the home during seasoning and cooking when e.g. in a recipe corresponding weights are made.

When selling determined by this information, the price. At the same time, the information on the remaining goods can be used for inventory purposes and for the reordering of goods. In the left-hand illustration, the inner and outer containers close 1 . 2 composed at the same height.

In the section in the right-hand illustration is the outer container 1 in its mantle height lower than the inner container 2 executed. The inner container is easier to grip with your hand. Under design and functional aspects, the inner container circumference should be in the section that is no longer from the outer container 1 is encased, that of the outer container 1 correspond. In this way prevents loose goods when removing in the gap between the outer and the inner container 1 . 2 can fall.

The use of an inner container for the loose goods has the advantage that it can be removed after emptying and optimally cleaned.

The basic operation is as follows: The empty inner container 2 gets into the outer container 1 used. The weight displayed is indicated by the tare key 7 set to zero. The inner container 2 is then filled, which also with removed inner container 2 can be done. The precision balance 4 then shows the weight of the contents of the inner container 2 on. If now loose goods are taken, by the precision balance 4 generates a signal that is converted by the signal processing in two directions, once the weight of the inside container 2 remaining quantity of loose goods and once the weight of the removed loose goods is determined. On the display panel 6 Both details can be displayed simultaneously or alternately or only one selected item.

2 shows an embodiment with only one container 3 , It corresponds in its construction substantially to that of the outer container 1 according to 1 , Instead of an inner container but here is a highly elastic seal 8th used the precision balance 4 to protect.
