When the contents are taken out of the container containing the powdered milk or coffee and used, the lid is removed from the container body and opened, and then a tool such as a spoon is inserted into the container body, and the contents are removed. Are scooped out as much as necessary.
However, in containers such as those described above containing spices and seasonings, the contents are shaken out from the spout, so it is very convenient when only a small amount is used, but when a large amount must be used, This can be inconvenient because the container must be shaken many times.
Also, in the case of a container containing powdered milk or coffee, there is no spout for only a small amount, so the lid must be removed each time it is used, and the contents must be taken out using a spoon or the like. Sometimes you may find it inconvenient to open, close, or remove the lid.
[0004]
Therefore, when using a large amount of seasonings such as sugar and cheese or other powders and granules, first use a spoon etc. to take out and put in a large amount, then taste it. If it is not enough, it may be used by adding a small amount while adjusting.
Therefore, it is possible to solve the problems of the conventional powder container as described above, and to remove the powder using a spoon or the like when using a large amount, and to provide the container when using only a small amount. Containers such as those disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 4-27752 and Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-2750 have been proposed as powder containers having a structure that can be directly poured out from a shaker outlet.

Thus, the user can hold the spoon 23 in his hand, insert it into the container body 21, and scoop out the contents for use.
In addition, when it is desired to use only a small amount of the contents, when the hinge lid 22b on the side of the spout hole provided in the outer lid is opened, the spout hole 22e composed of a number of small holes provided in the inner lid 22d appears. As shown in FIG. 9, by tilting and shaking the hollow container 21 held in the hand, the contents can be used by being poured out from a number of small spouting holes 22 e.
[0007]
The powder container formed as described above can be taken out in large quantities or only small quantities by selecting and opening the hinge lids 22a and 22b, which is very convenient. On the other hand, due to the structure of the lid, the container is unsuitable for large-diameter containers, and depending on the contents, a small hole may be clogged, and furthermore, it has become a commercial product. There is a problem that it cannot be determined whether or not the lid has been illegally opened.
Therefore, by solving the various problems as described above, as long as the body of the hollow container is in a range that can be held by hand, it can be applied regardless of the shape and diameter of the container and used. It is hoped that a powder container equipped with a lid that allows the contents to be taken out according to the size of the container to be removed and that allows the user to determine at a glance whether or not the lid has been opened. It is rare.
