DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A measuring container according to the present invention will be described below with reference to an embodiment shown in the drawings. The present invention
The container, the measuring member, the opening / closing member, and the cap member are the main members. A is a container body, and the mouth and neck 2 is erected from the upper end of the body 1 which can be elastically squeezed via a shoulder, and a male screw is formed on the outer surface of the mouth and neck.

Reference numeral B denotes a measuring member, from which the first fitting tube 4 is suspended from the outer periphery of the first flange-shaped top wall 3 placed on the upper surface of the mouth and neck portion 2 of the container body, and the measuring tube 5 is suspended from the inner periphery. . Then, the first fitting cylinder 4 screws the female screw formed on the inner surface thereof into the male screw of the container body neck portion 2. On the other hand, the measuring cylinder 5 is fitted to the inner surface of the mouth and neck portion 2, and the pouring cylinder 7 is erected from the inner periphery of the flange-shaped bottom wall 6 attached to the lower end of the measuring cylinder 5, and the upper surface of the pouring cylinder is circular. A pouring hole 9 is formed in the pouring cylinder 7 close to the arc-shaped top wall 8 and near the outer periphery of the top wall.

In addition, an inflow hole 10 is formed in the lower part of the wall of the measuring cylinder 5, and the short cylinder 11 is erected from the upper surface of the outer peripheral portion of the flange-shaped bottom wall 6. Further, the second fitting tube 12 is erected from the upper surface of the inner peripheral portion of the first flange-shaped top wall 3, and the male screw 13 is formed on the outer surface of the second fitting tube.

Reference numeral C denotes an opening / closing member. A peripheral wall 16 is provided from the outer periphery of the second flange-shaped top wall 15 placed on the upper surface of the second fitting tube 12 and an opening / closing tube 17 is provided from the lower surface of the inner peripheral portion. Perimeter wall 16
The female screw 16a formed on the inner surface is rotatably screwed into the male screw 13 of the second fitting tube 12, and the opening / closing tube 17 is fitted to the inner surface of the measuring tube 5 so as to be vertically movable and watertight, and is opened and closed. The lower end of the tube is detachably and watertightly fitted to the outer surface of the short tube 11.

In this case, the pouring hole 9 of the pouring tube 7 is
Although it is located inside 7, in order to increase the amount of metering / dispensing for each time, the pouring hole 9 is located near the upper surface of the opening / closing cylinder 17 as in the illustrated example. Reference numeral 18 denotes a stopper tube that stands upright from the inner periphery of the second flange-shaped top wall 15.

A cap member D is a top plate 19 for closing the upper surface of the opening and closing cylinder 17 so as to be openable and closable.
And a stopper tube 21 surrounding the hanging tube, respectively, and hanging the lower portion of the hanging tube 20 to an outer peripheral surface of an upper end portion of the pouring tube 7 in a watertight manner.
The plug 21 is detachably fitted, and the plug 21 is
8 is detachably fitted to the inner surface, and the cylindrical wall hanging from the outer periphery of the top wall 19 is detachably fitted to the outer peripheral surface of the peripheral wall 16.

As described in claim 2, the outer periphery of the top plate 19 is connected to the upper end of the upright plate 22 which rises from the upper end of the first fitting cylinder 4 via a thin hinge 23, and the thin hinge is connected from the center of the top plate 19. The lower end of the elastic band 24 extending through
It is preferable to connect the lower part of the upright plate 22 to the outer surface of the first fitting cylinder 4 via a thin hinge. Reference numeral 25 denotes a pipe fitted to the inner surface of the lower part of the discharge tube 7.

Next, the operation of the present embodiment will be described.
FIG. 1 shows a closed state of the cap member D. In this state, the drooping cylinder 20 is fitted into the pouring cylinder 7, and the pouring hole 9 is inserted into the drooping cylinder 2.
Since it is located inside 0, even if an attempt is made to squeeze the trunk 1, the air pressure in the hanging tube 20 increases, so that the squeezing of the trunk is impossible. In order to dispense from this state, as shown in FIG. 2, after removing the cap member D from the peripheral wall 16, the body 1 may be squeezed.
5 and flows out of the pouring hole 9 of the pouring tube 7 into the opening / closing tube 17. At this time, since the upper surface of the dispensing cylinder 7 is closed by the top wall 8, there is no possibility that the upper surface of the dispensing cylinder 7 is ejected linearly. That is, the top wall 8 functions as a liquid flow control plate.

When the liquid pressure reaches the vicinity of the upper surface of the opening / closing cylinder 17 by pressing the body 1, if the pressing force is reduced, the body 1 returns to its original shape due to the elastic force, and a suction force is generated in the container body. Since the liquid above the lower edge of the pouring hole 9 is sucked into the pouring cylinder 7 from the pouring hole 9, a fixed amount of liquid can always be stored in the opening / closing cylinder 17 by one body pressing. it can. In order to pour the liquid from the container, the container A may be inverted from the state shown in FIG.

In order to continuously pour out the liquid without weighing, as shown in FIG. 3, the opening / closing cylinder 17 is rotated upward to open the inflow hole 10, and then the container is opened as shown in FIG. What is necessary is just to invert the body A and squeeze the body 1, and then the liquid flows into the opening / closing cylinder 17 through both the inflow hole 10 and the pouring hole 9 and flows out from the opening on the top surface of the opening / closing cylinder 17.

[0018]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, the measuring container is provided at the mouth and neck having a squeezable body, and the spouting tube is erected from the flange-shaped bottom wall. It is in. In addition, since the inflow hole is formed in the lower portion of the measuring cylinder and an opening / closing cylinder that can open and close the inflow hole is provided, continuous pouring can be performed when measurement is unnecessary.

In the weighing container according to the second aspect, since the cap member is connected to the weighing member via the hinge, they can be integrally formed, thereby reducing the number of parts.
