And an upper outer peripheral wall 31b extending further upward.

  A female threaded portion 31c is provided on the radially inner side surface of the lower outer peripheral wall 31a, and can be screw-engaged with the male threaded portion 21b of the inner cap member 20. Thus, the user can move the outer cap member 30 in the vertical direction with respect to the inner cap member 20 by gripping the radially outer surface of the lower outer peripheral wall 31a and rotating it in the circumferential direction. On the radially inner side surface of the lower outer peripheral wall 31a, below the female screw portion 31c, concave portions 33 are disposed at two opposing circumferential directions. The claw 27 is engaged with the recess 33 at the lowest point position of the outer cap member 30 shown in FIG. By this engagement, the closed state of the communication hole 24a due to the fitting of the closed portion 35 to the communication tube 24 as shown in FIG. 1 can be maintained.

  In addition, at the lowest point position of the outer cap member 30 shown in FIG. A mark 31d is provided. In addition, in the A part arrow view, since there is almost no vertical gap between the position indication mark 31d and the peripheral wall lower end 21c, the user has the outer cap member 30 at the lowest point position, that is, the communication hole. It can be recognized that 24a is in the closed state.

  An upper outer peripheral wall 31b extending further upward is connected to the upper end of the lower outer peripheral wall 31a via a step 32. A top wall 37 that covers the inner cap member 20 from above is connected to the upper end of the upper outer peripheral wall 31b. A closed portion 35 having a bottomed cylindrical shape hangs down at the center position of the top wall 37. In the state of FIG. 1 in which the outer cap member 30 is at the lowest point position with respect to the inner cap member 20, the outer surface 35 a of the blocking portion 35 is in contact with the radially inner side surface of the communication tube 24 to block the communication hole 24 a. doing.

  A discharge cylinder 34 protrudes upward on the radially outer side of the closing portion 35 in the top wall 37, and a discharge hole 34 a for discharging contents to the outside is formed on the radially inner side of the discharge cylinder 34. The discharge hole 34a can discharge the contents to the outside by opening the lid 40 when the measured contents are stored in a measurement space M to be described later. Further, when the communication hole 24a is opened, the contents in the storage space S of the container body 10 can be continuously discharged to the outside via the communication hole 24a and the discharge hole 34a.

  As shown in FIG. 1, a region surrounded by the upper outer peripheral wall 31 b, the communication tube 24, and the top wall 22 (inner top wall 22 b) forms a measurement space M. Further, the communication cylinder 24 is formed so that the height thereof is lower than the height of the upper outer peripheral wall 31b. Therefore, as will be described later, when the user changes the posture of the container body 10 to the inverted posture to measure the contents in the open state of the communication hole 24a and returns to the upright posture, the inside of the outer cap member 30 The contents that have moved to the storage space M are stored in the measuring space M, and the contents that have not entered completely return to the accommodation space S beyond the upper end of the communication tube 24.

  Next, the lid 40 that covers the discharge holes 34a will be described. The lid body 40 includes a lid body peripheral wall 43 formed in a cylindrical shape substantially the same diameter as the upper outer peripheral wall 31b of the outer cap member 30, and a lid body that is connected to the upper end of the lid body peripheral wall 43 and covers the discharge hole 34a from above. A top wall 41. The lid 40 is connected to the upper outer peripheral wall 31 b of the outer cap member 30 by a hinge portion 38 at one place on the circumference of the lid peripheral wall 43. On the lower surface of the lid body top wall 41, a projecting wall 45 is formed which is fitted to the radially inner side surface of the discharge hole 34a when the lid body 40 is closed to suppress leakage of contents. In addition, a grip portion 48 protrudes radially outward at a position facing the hinge portion 38 at the lower end portion of the lid peripheral wall 43. The user can easily open the discharge hole 34a by picking up the grip 48 and lifting it upward.

  In the above configuration, a procedure for discharging the contents in the storage space S of the container body 10 will be described.

(Continuous discharge operation)
First, the case where the contents in the storage space S are continuously ejected will be described. The user grasps the lower outer peripheral wall 31a of the outer cap member 30 with one hand while grasping the body 4 of the container body 10 with one hand from the state shown in FIG. While being disengaged from each other, it is rotated half a counterclockwise as viewed from above. The outer cap member 30 moves upward along the male screw portion 21b while rotating around the central axis O, and when the outer cap member 30 is rotated half a circle, the claw portion 27 is opposed to the concave portion 33 that has been engaged so far. It engages with a recess 33 provided in the. Then, as shown in FIG. 3, the closing portion 35 is separated from the communication tube 24, and the communication hole 24a is opened. As shown in the arrow C view of FIG. 3 at the position rotated by this half circumference, there is a vertical gap between the position display mark 31d and the peripheral wall lower end 21c. The user can recognize that the outer cap member 30 is not at the lowest point position and the communication hole 24a is in an open state due to the gap.

  In the open state of the communication hole 24a, the user grips and lifts the grip portion 48 of the lid 40 to open the discharge hole 34a, and then tilts the container body 10. Then, as shown in FIG. 3, after the content in the accommodation space S passes through the communication hole 24a, it further passes through the discharge hole 34a and is discharged to the outside. In addition, when the container main body 10 is a container which can squeeze the trunk | drum 4, when a user squeezes the trunk | drum 4, the pressure in the storage space S increases and discharges the contents to the exterior more vigorously. Can do.

(Measurement discharge operation)
Next, a case where the contents in the storage space S are weighed by a predetermined amount and then discharged will be described. As in the case of the continuous discharge operation, the user first rotates the lower outer peripheral wall 31a half a counterclockwise direction from the state shown in FIG. 1 to open the communication hole 24a. Next, the user tilts the container body 10 from the upright posture shown in FIG. 1 to the inverted posture shown in FIG. When the container body 10 is in the inverted posture, as shown in FIG. 4, the contents in the accommodation space S pass through the communication hole 24 a and are in the space N on the radially outer side of the closing portion 35 inside the outer cap member 30. (The lower boundary of the space N is indicated by a broken line in FIG. 4).

  The user returns the container body 10 to the upright posture again from the state in which the contents are filled inside the outer cap member 30 shown in FIG. In the present embodiment, the volume of the space N radially outside the closing portion 35 inside the outer cap member 30 is formed to be larger than the volume of the measurement space M. Therefore, when the container main body 10 is returned from the inverted posture of FIG. 4 to the upright posture, the contents filled in the space N flow into the measuring space M when returning to the container main body 10 side, and are shown in FIG. Thus, the measurement space M can be filled with a predetermined amount of contents. Of the contents filled in the space N on the radially outer side of the closing portion 35, the contents that have not completely entered the measurement space M return to the accommodation space S again through the communication holes 24a.

  As shown in FIG. 5, when the measuring space M is filled with a predetermined amount of contents, the user rotates the outer circumferential surface of the lower outer peripheral wall 31a clockwise by half a clockwise direction when viewed from above, and the outer cap The member 30 is moved downward. As a result, the communication hole 24a is closed in a state where a predetermined content is filled in the measurement space M. After closing the communication hole 24a, the user opens the discharge hole 34a as shown in FIG. 6, tilts the container body 10 and discharges the contents in the measurement space M from the discharge hole 34a. At this time, since the communication hole 24a is closed, the contents in the accommodation space S cannot pass through the communication hole 24a. The user can discharge only a predetermined amount of contents measured by the measurement space M at a time or in several times. In the present embodiment, as shown in the figure, the discharge hole 34a is arranged eccentrically with respect to the central axis O. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 6, if the contents are discharged at a circumferential position where the discharge hole 34a is substantially at the lowest point, the contents in the measuring space M can be discharged to the outside without leaving any excess. On the other hand, when the contents are discharged at a circumferential position such that the discharge hole 34a is substantially at the same height as the central axis O, for example, the discharge is terminated while intentionally leaving a part of the contents in the measuring space M. be able to. Therefore, the user can easily discharge the contents in the measurement space M in a plurality of times by changing the circumferential position of the discharge hole 34a when holding the container body 10.

  In addition, in this embodiment, although it comprised so that the center axis line of the communication hole 24a and the obstruction | occlusion part 35 might correspond with the center axis line O of the measurement discharge container 100, it is not limited to this aspect. You may comprise so that the communicating hole 24a and the obstruction | occlusion part 35 may be eccentrically arrange | positioned with respect to the central axis O. FIG.

  Moreover, in this embodiment, although comprised so that the inner cap member 20 might be undercut-engaged with the opening | mouth part 11 of the container main body 10, it is not limited to this aspect. The inner cap member 20 may be connected to the mouth portion 11 of the container body 10 by other means such as screw engagement.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the outer cap member 30 is connected to the inner cap member 20 so as to be movable in the vertical direction by screw engagement. However, the present invention is not limited to this mode. For example, the outer cap member 30 may be configured to be capable of undercut engagement with the inner cap member 20 at each of the uppermost point and the lowermost point.

  In the present embodiment, the lid 40 is connected to the outer cap member 30 by the hinge portion 38, and the lid 40 is attached to the outer cap member 30 by folding the hinge portion 38 by 180 degrees. The embodiment is not limited. For example, the cap 40 may be attached to the outer cap member 30 by undercut engagement with the outer cap member 30 from above.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the bottomed cylindrically shaped blocking portion 35 is configured to close the communication hole 24a by fitting to the radially inner side surface of the communication tube 24, but is not limited to this mode. For example, the closed portion 35 may be formed in a cylindrical shape with the lower part open, and the radially inner side surface of the closed portion 35 may be fitted to the radially outer side surface of the communication tube 24. Moreover, the shape of the communication cylinder 24 and the closing part 35 is not limited to circular shape, You may have other shapes, such as a polygon.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the outer cap member 30 is moved in the vertical direction with respect to the inner cap member 20, so that the communication hole 24 a that allows the contents storage space S and the measurement space M to communicate with each other is provided. It was configured to be able to switch between open / close. Thereby, in the open state of the communication hole 24a and the discharge hole 34a, the contents in the accommodation space S can be continuously discharged from the discharge hole 34a via the communication hole 24a. Further, after the discharge hole 34a is closed and the communication hole 24a is opened, the container body 10 is turned upside down and then returned to the upright state, thereby filling the measuring space M with a predetermined amount of contents. it can. Thereafter, by closing the communication hole 24a and opening the discharge hole 34a, the weighed contents can be discharged in several appropriate steps. Therefore, the contents can be easily measured and discharged. In particular, in the present embodiment, since the discharge hole 34a is eccentric with respect to the central axis O, depending on the circumferential position of the discharge hole 34a when the container body 10 is gripped, the measured contents can be discharged without being left over. The ejection can be terminated while intentionally leaving a part. Accordingly, it is easy to discharge the weighed contents in a plurality of times. Soy sauce, seasonings, dressings, etc. may add contents during the meal, so it was difficult to grasp the total amount used in the past, but this embodiment is intended to limit the intake It is suitable for.

  Further, in the present embodiment, during storage, the storage space S and the outside are blocked at two places, the communication hole 24a and the discharge hole 34a, so that contact between the content and air is prevented. A continuous discharge operation and a metering discharge operation can be performed while maintaining the quality. Moreover, since discharge | emission of the content can be interrupted | blocked by the obstruction | occlusion part 35 in addition to the cover body 40, the outflow which the content does not intend can be suppressed.

  In the present embodiment, the volume of the measurement space M is configured to be smaller than the volume of the space N in the radially outer portion of the closing portion 35 inside the outer cap member 30. Accordingly, even when air enters the weighing space M in the inverted posture of the container body 10 in FIG. 4, the contents in the space N can easily enter the weighing space M in the process of returning to the upright posture. For this reason, the contents can be easily filled in the measurement space M.

  In the present embodiment, the lower outer peripheral wall 31a of the outer cap member 30 is screw-engaged with the peripheral wall 21 of the inner cap member 20, and the circumferential position of the outer cap member 30 where the communication hole 24a is opened and At the circumferential position of the outer cap member 30 where the communication hole 24a is closed, the claw portion 27 protruding from the inner cap member 20 is engaged with the recess 33 provided on the lower outer peripheral wall 31a of the outer cap member 30. Configured. Accordingly, the communication hole 24 a can be easily opened and closed by rotating the outer cap member 30 relative to the inner cap member 20. Further, the open position and the closed position of the communication hole 24a can be easily recognized by the engagement between the claw portion 27 and the concave portion 33.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the pushing rib 15 provided in the mouth portion 11 of the container body 10 is configured to contact the claw portion 27 so that the claw portion 27 protrudes radially outward. Thereby, even if the claw portion 27 is formed of a thin member, a predetermined engagement force can be applied to the claw portion 27.
