  The present invention relates to a squeeze-type measuring container capable of measuring a predetermined amount of content liquid by squeezing the body of the container, and more specifically, the content liquid remaining in the measuring chamber after quantitative dispensing is contained in the container body. Further, the present invention relates to a squeeze-type measuring container that can discharge an appropriate amount of content liquid from a spout without squeezing.

Conventionally, as a squeeze-type measuring container, a mounting cylinder is screwed onto the outer periphery of a mouth tube portion of a container body having a squeezable body, and the pouring cap is fixed to the mouth tube portion. A measuring tube is provided that is suspended from the bottom wall of the weighing chamber that closes the upper end opening, and that stands in the weighing chamber with the lower end opened in the center of the weighing chamber bottom, and a communication port is formed at the upper end. In addition, there is known a suction pipe that has an upper end connected to the lower end opening of the measuring cylinder and a lower end is suspended at the lower part of the container body (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
This measuring container squeezes the body part of the container body, injects the content liquid into the measuring chamber from the communication port via the suction pipe and the measuring tube, and releases the squeeze of the body part to release the upper part of the communication port. Excess content liquid injected into the measurement chamber is caused to flow back into the container body through the communication port, and a certain amount of content liquid is measured.

Further, an arc-shaped knob 55 is formed on the outer periphery of the upper lid 43 opposite to the lower hinge 42 of the side peripheral wall 50, and similarly, on the outer periphery of the top wall 56 opposite to the upper hinge 44. An arc-shaped knob 59 is formed in plan view.

Next, usage modes and operational effects of this embodiment will be described.
As shown in FIG. 15, the squeeze-type measuring container of the present embodiment covers the base cap B with a two-stage hinge cap Ca in which both the upper lid 43 and the auxiliary lid 45 are closed, and then sucks up from the base cap B. With the pipe 32 suspended, the lower end of the suction pipe 32 is inserted into the lower part of the container body A filled with the content liquid, and the mounting cylinder 3 of the base cap B is connected to the mouth tube part 2 in the same manner as in the second embodiment. It is used by mounting it by screwing it onto.

In order to perform quantitative dispensing using the squeeze-type measuring container according to the present embodiment, when the knob 55 of the upper lid 43 is lifted from the state shown in FIG. Since it is fitted to the portion 15, the valve cylinder 37 rises in the guide cylinder 35 as the upper lid 43 is lifted.
As the valve cylinder 37 rises, the valve body 39 provided at the lower end comes into contact with the valve seat 34, so that the fitting protrusion 39 a of the valve body 39 is fitted with the fitting groove 34 a of the valve seat 34. The outlet 33 is closed. For this reason, the valve cylinder 37 cannot be raised any further, and the grip 15 is removed from the grip recess 53 of the valve operation section 52, and the upper lid 43 is completely opened as shown in FIG. .

Next, as shown in FIG. 17, when the content liquid in the container main body A is weighed, the body liquid 1 is squeezed by squeezing the body portion 1 of the container main body A so that the content liquid is sucked into the suction pipe 32. Push out from the lower end to the valve cylinder 37 and inject into the measuring chamber D as shown by the arrow from the communication port 40 at the tip.
After that, when the content liquid in the measuring chamber D is poured until the height of the communication port 40 of the valve cylinder 37 becomes equal to or higher than the squeeze of the body 1, the content liquid excessively flowing into the measuring chamber D is It flows backward from the communication port 40 of the valve cylinder 37 and returns into the container main body A.

Next, when the content liquid in the measurement chamber D is poured out, the content liquid in the measurement chamber D is poured through the dispensing cylinder 48 by tilting the container body A, as in the second embodiment. Can be issued.
At this time, since the outlet 33 is closed by the valve portion F, there is no possibility that the content liquid in the container main body A flows into the measuring chamber D.

Finally, when the dispensing of the content liquid is finished, as in the second embodiment, after the tilted container body A is returned to the original upright posture and then the upper lid 43 is closed, the valve operating section 52 is closed. When the front end of the valve member pushes down the grip portion 15, the fitting groove 39a of the valve body 39 fitted to the fitting groove 34a of the valve seat 34 is disengaged, and the outlet 33 is opened. .
At the same time, when the protrusion 38 a of the guide vane 38 comes into contact with the upper end of the guide cylinder 35, the valve cylinder 37 cannot be lowered any further, and the gripping recess 53 of the valve operating part 52 is fitted with the gripping part 15. Thus, the open state of the valve portion F can be maintained.
For this reason, since the content liquid remaining without being poured into the measuring chamber D is returned to the inside of the container main body A from the outlet 33 through the inclined bottom wall 4, it is kept in the measuring chamber D until the next pouring. It is possible to prevent the content liquid from remaining.

Further, in order to dispense an appropriate amount using the squeeze type weighing container equipped with the two-stage hinge cap with the auxiliary lid of the present embodiment, the knob 59 of the auxiliary lid 45 is lifted from the state shown in FIG. Thus, even if the auxiliary lid 45 is opened, the upper lid 43 is in a closed state, so that the valve portion F holds the outlet 33 in an open state.
Next, as shown in FIG. 18, when the content liquid in the container main body A is poured out, it is not necessary to squeeze the container main body A, and the container main body A can be simply tilted. An appropriate amount of content liquid can be dispensed through the dispensing cylinder 54.

In this embodiment, a two-stage hinge cap Ca with an auxiliary lid is attached in place of the hinge cap C of the squeeze type metering container of the second embodiment, but the squeeze type metering of the first embodiment. Also in the container, in place of the hinge cap C, the auxiliary lid formed so that the center positions of the dispensing cylinder 48 of the upper lid 43 and the dispensing cylinder 54 of the auxiliary lid 45 correspond to the center line extension of the valve column 13. If the attached two-stage hinge cap Ca is attached, the content liquid in the container main body A is simply tilted without squeezing the container main body A as in the present embodiment. Appropriate amount can be dispensed.
Of course, the container main body A may be squeezed to dispense an appropriate amount.

  The squeeze-type weighing container of the present invention is not limited to the one in which the base cap is formed in a cylindrical shape as in the embodiment, but can be applied to those formed in various shapes, and by simply opening the upper lid, The content liquid can be measured by closing the outlet on the bottom wall, and when the top lid is closed, the outlet on the bottom wall of the measurement chamber is opened and the content liquid remaining in the measurement chamber is returned to the container body. In addition, by opening only the auxiliary lid with the top lid closed, an appropriate amount of the liquid can be poured out from the spout without squeezing. It can be widely used as a squeeze-type measuring container that requires the environment, and is particularly suitable as a container for measuring and dispensing a liquid such as a liquid cleaning material.
