  FIG. 1 shows an example of a mill container 1.

  The mill container 1 includes a container body A, a fixed blade member B, and a lid C.

  The container body A is formed of a transparent or translucent synthetic resin, has a bottomed cylindrical shape with an open upper end, and in this example, the peripheral wall 11 is erected from the periphery of the bottom wall 10. Further, a locking projection 12 for preventing the relative rotation with respect to the container body A and fitting and fixing the fixed blade member B to the container body A is provided on the inner periphery of the peripheral wall 11. As shown in FIG. 2, the locking projection 12 in this case is composed of three unit projections 12a which are provided at equal intervals in the circumferential direction by cutting the inner periphery of the container body peripheral wall 11. The convex portion 12a forms an inclined surface 13 at the upper end. In addition, a first reduced diameter portion 11a and a second reduced diameter portion 11b that are reduced in diameter in two stages by a first upward stepped portion 14 and a second upward stepped portion 15 are formed at the outer peripheral upper end portion of the peripheral wall 11, A locking protrusion 16 for preventing the lid C from coming off is provided on the second reduced diameter portion. The number of the locking projections 12 is not limited to three, and may be one, two, four or more, and may be selected according to the number of unit recesses 23a. When the appearance from the outside or the observation of the contents is not inconvenient, and when the fixed fixing of the fixed blade member B is considered, about 1 to 3 can be preferably employed.

  The fixed blade member B is made of synthetic resin, has a cylindrical shape with upper and lower ends opened, and is detachably fitted to the inner peripheral upper end portion of the container body A to prevent rotation. In this example, as shown in FIG. 3, a flange 21 to be placed on the upper surface of the container body A is extended from the upper end edge of the cylindrical base body 20 at the upper and lower end openings, and the lower end of the outer periphery of the cylindrical base body 20 is attached. A taper portion 22 for facilitating smoothing is formed. Furthermore, a plurality of engaging recesses 23 are provided on the outer surface of the cylindrical base body 20 so as to go around the outer circumference of the cylindrical base body 20 and are arranged in parallel at equal intervals. As shown in FIG. 3B, the engaging recess 23 in this example is constituted by a large number of unit recesses 23a that are formed at equal intervals in the circumferential direction by cutting the cylindrical base body 20 vertically. Each unit recess 23a is formed in the same width as each unit protrusion 12a of the container body A, and when the cylindrical base 20 is fitted to the container body A from above, an arbitrary unit recess 23a is associated with the unit. The protrusion 12a can be fitted. Therefore, in this case, the unit recesses 23a are equally spaced so that there are two other unit recesses 23a fitted to the corresponding unit protrusions 12a at positions 120 degrees apart on both sides of one unit recess 23a. Is arranged.

  A fixed blade 24 is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical base body 20. As shown in FIG. 3 (a), the fixed blade 24 has a cross-sectional shape continuously arranged in a saw blade shape in plan view, and as shown in FIG. It takes the form which cuts through.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the fixed blade member B has an arbitrary unit recess 23a fitted to the locking projection 12 from above the container body A, and the flange 21 is in contact with the upper surface of the container body peripheral wall. The cylindrical base body 20 is fitted and attached to the upper end of the inner surface of the container body peripheral wall 11.

  The lid C is also made of synthetic resin, and includes an operation cylinder 30 that is fitted to the upper end of the outer periphery of the container A so as to be prevented from coming off and to be rotatable. The center of the operation cylinder 30 is formed as a recessed portion 31b. A lid plate 31 having a discharge port 32 is extended in the part, and a rotary blade 33 is projected from the outer peripheral surface of the recessed portion 31b.

  In the illustrated example, an engaging protrusion 35 is provided around the upper surface of the inner surface of the operation cylinder 30, and the peripheral edge of the cover plate 31 is constituted by a ring-shaped horizontal plate portion 31a, and the inner peripheral edge of the horizontal plate portion 31a. In addition, a substantially truncated cone-shaped concave portion 31b having an inclined angle changed is provided at the upper portion. In the horizontal plate portion 31a, six arc-shaped discharge ports 32 are formed at equal intervals in the circumferential direction. Further, a rotary blade 33 composed of six radial blades 33a is projected from the outer peripheral surface of the recessed portion 31b. Further, an uneven portion 34 in which radial protrusions and recesses are alternately arranged is provided around the upper edge portion of the outer peripheral surface of the recessed portion 31b to play a role in the mill mechanism.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the cover body C is engaged with the engaging protrusion 16 over the engaging protrusion 35 to prevent the cover cylinder C from coming out upward, thereby making the operating cylinder 30 the first reduced diameter portion 11a and the second reduced diameter portion 11a. The diameter-reduced portion 11b is fitted to the outer periphery, and is rotatably attached to the container body A. At that time, the inside and outside of each discharge port 32 communicate with each other with the inner portion thereof facing inward from the inner peripheral edge of the fixed blade member B. The lid C is fitted to the container A to prevent it from coming out, but it cannot be removed by a normal external force, but it can be forcibly removed for the purpose of removal. Accordingly, the lid C and the fixed blade member B can be removed for cleaning.

  The case where the mill container 1 configured as described above is used will be described. An object to be crushed, such as sesame seeds, is accommodated in the container body A. In use, when the mill container 1 is inverted and the cover body C is rotated with respect to the container body A, the fixed blade 24 and the rotary blade 33 are interposed. The stored material is pulverized, and the pulverized material is discharged from each discharge port 32.

  FIG. 5 shows another example. In the example of FIG. 1, a filling port 17 is opened at the bottom of the container body A, and a bottom lid D for closing the filling port 17 is provided.
