Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a content dispensing apparatus making it possible for a worker to support or incline even a heavy container with less force when dispensing pigment, liquid such as a solvent, or powder in a container such as a can into smaller containers, and making it possible for the worker to easily and safely perform a dispensing operation. <P>SOLUTION: The content dispensing apparatus includes a base, support posts, and a container holder supporting a detachable container and disposed on the base via the support posts so as to be rotatable. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT

Description

  The present invention is for subdividing that is preferably used to hold and tilt the container to transfer the liquid or powdery contents such as pigment, solvent, etc. filled in the container such as a can body into the subdividing container. Relates to the device.

In general, after the pigment, solvent, etc. are delivered to the factory filled in a container such as a drum can with a large internal volume, the contents of the desired amount of pigment, solvent, etc. are subdivided from the container at the factory. It is transferred to a container and used.
Here, when performing the work of transferring the contents filled in the container to the sub-container, there is usually a method of tilting while manually holding the container and discharging the contents little by little from the spout into the sub-container. It has been taken.
However, in order to divide the contents from the container as accurately as possible, it is necessary to tilt the container slowly and pour out the contents for a certain period of time, so be careful not to spill and lift it, especially if the container is large and heavy There was a problem of placing a burden on the body when holding the container.

JP 52-10909 A

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, and it is possible to easily and safely perform an operation of transferring the contents filled in the container to a sub-container (hereinafter referred to as “sub-partition operation”). The object is to provide a device for subdivision that can be made.

  The present invention provides an apparatus for subdividing a container content, characterized in that the base, the support column, and the container are detachably supported, and the base has a container holding portion rotatably provided via the support column. Exist.

  According to the present invention, the worker can support and tilt even a heavy container with a slight force, and can perform subdivision work easily and safely, so the burden on the operator is greatly reduced, The workability of the subdivision work can be improved. Further, it is possible to easily adjust the tilt angle of the container in the above operation, stop the gentle tilting operation, and the like.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.
The apparatus for subdivision of the present invention is mainly constituted by a base, a support, and a container holding portion that is detachably supported on the base and is rotatably provided on the base via the support.
In FIG. 1, a support column 2 is erected on a base 1. The container holding unit 3 is rotatable by being connected to the support column via a rotating shaft 4 and a bearing (bearing).
Examples of the shape of the container holding part include a three-dimensional frame (FIG. 1) having a bottom frame and a side frame for holding the bottom of the container, and a box-shaped one having a bottom surface and side surfaces.
Moreover, it is preferable that the device for subdivision of the present invention has a stopper mechanism in order to regulate the rotation angle when the container holding portion is tilted. For example, in FIG. 1, the bar 5 that protrudes substantially horizontally from the floor toward the container holding portion from the pillar provided on the pillar, and the floor approximately horizontal from the pivot shaft provided on the pivot shaft toward the pillar. The container holding portion cannot be rotated any more by overlapping the bar 6 protruding in the direction at a certain point in time (a certain rotation angle).
Further, the subdividing device preferably has a stopper mechanism for preventing the container holding portion from moving when it is not used or when the container is installed in the container holding portion. For example, in FIGS. 1 and 2, the container 9 is held by inserting the bar 9 into the bar 7 with a hole provided in the support column and the bar 8 with a hole provided in the rotating shaft so as to penetrate both holes. The part does not move.
It is preferable that the stopper 10 is provided on all or part of the upper edge of the container holding part 3 because the container is unlikely to slip off the container holding part by mistake when the container is tilted.
A weight 11 for balancing may be attached to the outside of the bottom surface of the container holding unit 3. The weight of the weight may be arbitrarily selected, but is usually about 1 kg.
Further, when the handle 12 or 13 is provided at the end of the side surface or the bottom of the container holding unit 3 or the upper end of the container holding unit 3, the container is slowly tilted and the container is tilted. This is preferable because it can be easily stopped for a certain time.
