  The present invention relates to a metering container.

  Conventionally, for example, as shown in Patent Document 1 below, by tilting a container main body, the contents in the container main body can be stored in the measuring space of the outer member, and then the dispensing cylinder of the inner member is pulled out from the outer member. Thus, there is known a metering dispenser that can guide the contents weighed in the metering space to the spout through the inside of the spout tube and pour out the contents through the spout. This makes it possible to dispense a fixed amount of contents.

Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2006-68977

  However, in the above-described conventional metering dispenser, it is necessary to perform the operation of pulling out the dispensing cylinder of the inner member from the outer member after performing the operation of tilting the container body when dispensing the contents. It was easy and there was room for improvement in operability.

  The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide an easy-to-use weighing and dispensing container excellent in operability.

(1) A metering container according to the present invention is equipped with a container main body capable of containing contents and capable of increasing an internal pressure, a mouth of the container main body, and an interior communicating with the container main body. And a nozzle member formed with a spout for pouring the contents, and a slide member accommodated inside the nozzle member so as to be movable in the nozzle axis direction of the nozzle member. A measuring tube portion whose inner side is in communication with the spout and is a measuring space for measuring contents, and a communication tube portion in which the inner side is a communication space for connecting the inside of the measuring space and the inside of the container body; The slide member is disposed in the measurement space, and is disposed in the communication space, a first partition wall portion slidable in the measurement cylinder portion in the nozzle axis direction, and the measurement In the space, the nozzle inside the measuring tube A second partition wall portion slidable in a direction, wherein the slide member is blocked from communication between the measurement space and the spout by the first partition wall, and communicates with the measurement space. A measuring position where the inside of the space communicates, and a dispensing position where the communication between the inside of the measuring space and the inside of the communicating space is blocked by the second partition wall, and the inside of the measuring space communicates with the inside of the spout Between the nozzle member and the slide member, and biasing the slide member toward the metering position side from the dispensing position side with respect to the nozzle member A member is disposed.

According to the weighing and dispensing container according to the present invention, by tilting the container body, the contents stored in the container body can be caused to flow into the weighing space through the communication space, and the contents are placed in the weighing space. Can be accumulated gradually. And after the storage of the contents in the measurement space is completed, the internal pressure of the container body is increased. Thereby, the slide member can be moved from the measurement position toward the extraction position in the measurement cylinder portion. Then, in the process in which the slide member moves toward the dispensing position, the second partition wall portion enters the measuring tube portion and slides inside the measuring tube portion toward the spout port, so the first partition wall portion and the second partition wall portion. The measuring space can be partitioned and closed using the part. Therefore, the contents can be accurately measured using the closed measurement space.
Then, when the slide member reaches the pouring position after that, the measurement space and the inside of the spout are in communication with each other in a state where the communication between the measurement space and the communication space is blocked by the second partition wall. The contents stored in the space, that is, the weighed contents can be poured out through the spout.

In particular, after storing the contents in the weighing space by tilting the container body, the weighed contents can be dispensed with a simple operation that only raises the internal pressure of the container body. It can be used as a discharge container.
Since the contents can be weighed in the measuring space before the slide member reaches the pouring position, when the slide member is moved to the pouring position, the weighed content is dispensed. Can do. Therefore, it is possible to stably dispense a predetermined amount of contents with good reproducibility.

  Furthermore, since the slide member is urged from the dispensing position side to the measuring position side by the urging member, the slide member can be moved from the dispensing position toward the measuring position after the contents are dispensed. it can. As a result, the contents in the container body can be stored again in the measuring space, and then the contents weighed in the same manner as described above can be poured out again by increasing the internal pressure of the container body. it can. Accordingly, it is possible to continuously dispense the weighed contents.

(2) The urging member constantly urges the slide member toward the measurement position side, and when the slide member is located at the measurement position in the communication tube portion, the urging member moves in the nozzle axis direction. A first restricting portion that restricts movement of the slide member toward the container main body along the communication space and the inside of the container main body may be provided.

  In this case, the slide member can be positioned at the measurement position using the biasing member and the first restricting portion. Can be positioned stably. Therefore, the slide member can be moved stably and smoothly between the weighing position and the dispensing position, and the contents can be easily dispensed efficiently. In addition, since the slide member can be positioned at the measurement position in a state where the communication space and the container body are in communication with each other, the contents in the container body, for example, without increasing the internal pressure of the container body when the container body is tilted. However, it is possible to reliably and efficiently flow into the measurement space through the communication space.

(3) The nozzle member includes a second restricting portion that restricts movement of the first partition wall portion toward the spout port along the nozzle axis direction when the slide member is located at the pouring position. It may be provided.

  In this case, since the slide member can be positioned at the pouring position using the second restricting portion, the slide member can be prevented from greatly moving to the pouring outlet side beyond the pouring position. The amount of sliding can be suppressed. Therefore, the slide member can be quickly returned from the dispensing position to the weighing position, and for example, when the metered contents are repeatedly dispensed, the contents can be efficiently and continuously dispensed. .

(4) The second partition wall portion is movable relative to the one partition wall portion toward the spout side along the nozzle axis direction, and the second partition wall portion is moved by the second restricting portion. After the movement of the first partition wall portion toward the outlet side is restricted, the first partition wall portion may move so as to approach the first partition wall portion.

  In this case, when the contents are poured out, the movement of the first partition wall portion toward the spout port side is restricted by the second restricting portion, and the second partition wall portion is moved to the first by the internal pressure increase in the container body. Only the second partition wall portion can be further moved toward the spout side so as to approach the partition wall portion. As a result, the contents weighed between the first partition wall and the second partition wall in the weighing space are poured out so as to be forcibly discharged from the spout using the movement of the second partition wall. can do. Therefore, it is possible to more reliably pour out the weighed contents to the outside, and for example, it is possible to pour out the contents vigorously in a short time.

  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, it can be set as the easy-to-use measurement dispensing container excellent in operativity.

For example, the mounting tube portion 21 is connected to the mouth of the container body 2. It may be attached to the portion 3 by undercut fitting.
An annular flange piece 26 is formed at the lower end portion of the mounting cylinder portion 21 so as to protrude outward in the radial direction and face the top wall surface 4 of the container body 2 from above. However, the flange piece 26 is not essential and may not be provided.

The flange portion 22 is formed with a seal cylinder portion 27 that extends downward and closely fits inside the mouth portion 3 of the container body 2. The inside of the protruding cylinder portion 23 is a communication hole 28 that communicates with the inside of the mouth portion 3 of the container body 2. The connecting cylinder part 25 is formed in a cylindrical shape having a diameter larger than that of the mouth part 3 of the container body 2 and opens upward.
Note that the protruding cylinder portion 23 is not essential and may not be provided. In this case, for example, the annular top wall portion 24 may be formed integrally with the flange portion 22.

  The nozzle member 11 is mounted on the mouth 3 of the container body 2 via the mounting cap 20 by being integrally combined with the mounting cap 20 described above.

The nozzle member 11 is integrally combined with the mounting cap 20 because the peripheral wall portion 35 is closely fitted to the inside of the connecting cylinder portion 25 from above. However, the present invention is not limited to this case, and the nozzle member 11 and the mounting cap 20 may be combined by screwing the peripheral wall portion 35 tightly inside the connecting tube portion 25 and screwing, for example.

  The connection cylinder part 33 is formed so as to extend obliquely upward from the upper end part of the measurement cylinder part 31 and toward the front surface 5 side of the container body 2. Therefore, a part of the connection cylinder part 33 functions as an upper wall part (second restriction part) 33 a located above the slide member 12. Thereby, the upper wall part 33a of the connection cylinder part 33 further moves the slide member 12 to the spout 10 side along the nozzle axis O1 direction when the slide member 12 is located at a pouring position P2 described later. It is possible to regulate.

  A support tube portion 37 that protrudes downward and supports an upper end portion of a coil spring 55 described later is formed on the upper wall portion 33 a of the connection tube portion 33. The support cylinder portion 37 is disposed coaxially with the nozzle axis O1 and opens downward.

  The extraction cylinder part 32 is formed so as to extend upward from the upper end part of the connection cylinder part 33 and opens upward. The inside of the extraction cylinder part 32 is the above-described outlet 10.

  In the communicating cylinder part 30 in the nozzle member 11 configured as described above, the slide member 12 toward the container body 2 along the nozzle axis O1 direction when the slide member 12 is positioned at a measurement position P1 described later. A restricting piece (first restricting portion) 38 that restricts the movement and communicates the inside of the communication space R2 and the inside of the container body 2 through the communication hole 28 is provided.

In the present embodiment, the regulating piece 38 is formed integrally with the mounting cap 20.
The restricting piece 38 is formed so as to protrude upward from the inner peripheral edge of the annular top wall 24 and is arcuate along the inner peripheral edge of the top wall 24 when viewed from the nozzle axis O1 direction. Is formed. In the illustrated example, a pair of regulating pieces 38 are formed so as to face each other in the radial direction, and projecting upward from the top wall portion 24 so that the upper end edge thereof is located below the connection wall portion 36. .
However, the restriction piece 38 is not limited to the case where it is formed integrally with the mounting cap 20. For example, the restriction piece 38 may be formed integrally with the communication tube portion 30, or formed separately from the nozzle member 11. It may be configured to be combined with the inner side of the communicating cylinder part 30 from below.

  The slide member 12 is disposed in the measurement space R1, and is disposed in the communication space R2 and the first partition wall portion 40 that can slide in the measurement tube portion 31 in the direction of the nozzle axis O1, and in the measurement space R1, the measurement tube. And a second partition wall portion 41 slidable in the direction of the nozzle axis O1 in the portion 31.

The first partition wall portion 40 includes a first partition wall plate 45 having a circular shape in plan view that closes the inside of the measuring tube portion 31, and an annular first seal tube portion 46 that is in close contact with the inside of the measuring tube portion 31. ing.
The first seal tube portion 46 extends upward from the outer peripheral edge of the first partition plate 45 and is formed in an annular shape over the entire periphery of the first partition plate 45, and the measuring tube is moved with the movement of the slide member 12. It can slide on the inner surface of the portion 31 in the direction of the nozzle axis O1.

The second partition wall portion 41 is movable inside the measuring tube portion 31 with the movement of the slide member 12, and is a plan view that closes the inside of the measuring tube portion 31 when positioned inside the measuring tube portion 31. A circular second partition plate 47 and an annular second seal cylinder portion 48 that is in close contact with the inside of the measurement cylinder portion 31 are provided.
The second partition plate 47 is in contact with the upper end edges of the pair of restricting pieces 38 so as to be separated from above. The second seal cylinder portion 48 extends downward from the outer peripheral edge portion of the second partition plate 47 and is formed in an annular shape over the entire circumference of the second partition plate 47, and the measuring cylinder as the slide member 12 moves. It can slide on the inner surface of the portion 31 in the direction of the nozzle axis O1.

  In the slide member 12 including the first partition wall portion 40 and the second partition wall portion 41 described above, the communication between the measurement space R1 and the spout 10 is blocked by the first partition wall portion 40 and the communication with the measurement space R1. The measurement position P1 (see FIGS. 1 and 3) where the space R2 communicates with the second partition wall 41 blocks the communication between the measurement space R1 and the communication space R2, and the metering space R1 and the spout. It is possible to move in the direction of the nozzle axis O1 between a pouring position P2 (see FIG. 5) where the inside of the nozzle 10 communicates.

When the slide member 12 is positioned at the measurement position P1, the second partition wall 41 is in contact with the restriction piece 38 from above. Thereby, the further downward movement of the slide member 12 is restricted, and the slide member 12 is positioned at the measurement position P1.
Further, when the slide member 12 is located at the extraction position P <b> 2, the first partition wall portion 40 comes into contact with the upper wall portion 33 a of the connection tube portion 33 from the container body 2 side. As a result, the slide member 12 is restricted from moving further toward the outlet 10 and is positioned at the extraction position P2.

  The first partition wall portion 40 and the second partition wall portion 41 are the length of the measuring tube portion 31 so that both the first partition wall portion 40 and the second partition wall portion 41 can block the inside of the measuring tube portion 31. Are arranged in a state separated from each other in the nozzle axis O1 direction. Thereby, the inside of the measurement space R1 can be partitioned and closed by the measurement cylinder part 31, the first partition part 40, and the second partition part 41, and the contents can be accurately measured.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the slide member 12 is a nozzle having a top cylindrical storage cylinder portion 50 that stores a coil spring 55 described later, a first partition wall portion 40, and a second partition wall portion 41. A pair of connecting ribs 51 that are integrally connected in the direction of the axis O1 and a guide rib 52 and a guide plate 53 that guide the movement of the slide member 12 are further provided.

The housing cylinder portion 50 is disposed coaxially with the nozzle shaft O <b> 1 and is disposed below the first partition plate 45. The upper end portion of the accommodating cylinder portion 50 is integrally connected to the central portion of the first partition plate 45 from below. As a result, an opening communicating with the inside of the housing cylinder portion 50 is formed in the central portion of the first partition plate 45.
The housing cylinder portion 50 is not limited to being formed integrally with the first partition plate 45, and the housing cylinder portion 50 formed separately from the first partition plate 45 is the first partition plate 45. May be combined.

  The pair of connecting ribs 51 are formed in a vertically long shape extending along the nozzle axis O1, and are arranged so as to face each other with a gap in the radial direction. The pair of connection ribs 51 has an upper end portion integrally connected to the first partition plate 45 and a lower end portion integrally connected to the second partition plate 47. The accommodating cylinder portion 50 is disposed inside the pair of connecting ribs 51 with a radial gap between the connecting cylinder portion 50 and the connecting rib 51.

  The guide rib 52 is formed so as to protrude from the outer wall surface facing the radially outer side of the connecting rib 51 toward the radially outer side, and is formed vertically long over the entire length of the connecting rib 51. The outer edge portion of the guide rib 52 is opposed to the inner surface of the measuring tube portion 31 with a slight gap therebetween, and thereby the movement of the slide member 12 can be guided.

  The guide plate 53 is disposed between the accommodating cylinder portion 50 and the second partition plate 47 and is disposed in parallel to the pair of connection ribs 51. The guide plate 53 has an upper end portion integrally connected to the lower end portion of the housing cylinder portion 50, and a lower end portion integrally connected to the second partition plate 47. The outer edge of the guide plate 53 is opposed to the inner surface of the measuring tube portion 31 with a slight gap therebetween, so that the movement of the slide member 12 can be guided.

  As shown in FIG. 1, between the slide member 12 and the nozzle member 11, a coil spring (attached) that biases the slide member 12 from the dispensing position P2 side to the measuring position P1 side with respect to the nozzle member 11. Force member) 55 is disposed.

  The coil spring 55 is disposed coaxially with the nozzle shaft O1 in a compressed state between the slide member 12 and the upper wall portion 33a of the connection cylinder portion 33. Specifically, the upper end portion of the coil spring 55 is accommodated inside the support cylinder portion 37 while being accommodated in the accommodation cylinder portion 50. Accordingly, the coil spring 55 is supported at the lower end portion by the accommodating cylinder portion 50 and at the upper end portion by the support cylinder portion 37.

  Accordingly, the coil spring 55 biases the slide member 12 toward the container body 2 along the nozzle axis O1 direction. That is, the coil spring 55 always urges the slide member 12 toward the measuring position P1. Therefore, the slide member 12 is stably positioned with little wobbling at the measuring position P1 in a state where the slide member 12 is pressed from above with respect to the pair of regulating pieces 38.

(Use of metering container)
Next, a description will be given of a case where the contents are dispensed while being metered using the weighing and dispensing container 1 configured as described above.

  In this case, the container body 2 is tilted from the state shown in FIG. 1 toward the front surface 5 as indicated by an arrow B shown in FIG. 1, and the container body 2 is changed to a state close to an inverted posture as shown in FIG. Let When the container body 2 is tilted toward the front surface 5, the contents in the container body 2 flow into the nozzle member 11 through the mouth 3 and the communication hole 28. Thereby, the content which flowed into the inside of the nozzle member 11 can be made to flow in the measurement space R1 through the communication space R2.

  At this time, since the slide member 12 is urged toward the container main body 2 side with respect to the nozzle member 11 by the coil spring 55, it is possible to suppress the slide member 12 from moving to the spout 10 side, The slide member 12 can still be positioned at the metering position P1. Therefore, the communication between the inside of the measurement space R1 and the inside of the spout 10 can be maintained by the first partition wall 40, and the contents can be gradually accumulated in the measurement space R1.

  After the storage of the contents in the measurement space R1 is completed, the container body 2 is pressed from the outside of the container as shown by an arrow C and deformed (squeezed) toward the inside of the container as shown in FIG. As a result, the volume of the container body 2 is reduced and the internal pressure is increased, so that the slide member 12 can be moved toward the spout 10 side against the biasing force of the coil spring 55 as indicated by an arrow D. . That is, the slide member 12 can be moved from the measurement position P1 toward the extraction position P2 within the measurement cylinder portion 31.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 4, in the process in which the slide member 12 moves toward the pouring position P2, the second partition wall portion 41 enters the measuring tube portion 31, and the inside of the measuring tube portion 31 moves toward the pouring port 10 side. Therefore, the measurement space R1 can be partitioned and closed using the first partition wall 40 and the second partition wall 41. Therefore, the contents can be accurately measured using the closed measurement space R1.

  Thereafter, when the slide member 12 reaches the pouring position P2, the communication between the inside of the measuring space R1 and the inside of the communicating space R2 is blocked by the second partition wall 41 as shown in FIG. Since the inside of the spout 10 communicates with the inside of the connecting cylinder portion 33, the contents stored in the measuring space R 1, that is, the measured contents can be poured out through the spout 10.

In particular, after the container body 2 is tilted and the contents are stored in the measuring space R1, the contents weighed by a series of simple and continuous operations can be dispensed by simply pressing the container body 2 to increase the internal pressure. An easy-to-use weighing and dispensing container 1 having excellent operability can be obtained.
Further, since the contents can be weighed in the measuring space R1 before the slide member 12 reaches the pouring position P2, when the slide member 12 is moved to the pouring position P2, the weighed contents are obtained. Can be poured out. Therefore, it is possible to stably dispense a predetermined amount of contents with good reproducibility.

  Moreover, after the content is poured out, the container body 2 can be restored and deformed by releasing the pressure on the container body 2. Therefore, even if it is the gable top type container main body 2, the inside of the container main body 2 can be made into a negative pressure with decompression | restoration deformation, and the slide member 12 can be pulled to the container main body 2 side using a negative pressure. it can. In addition, since the slide member 12 is urged toward the container body 2 by the coil spring 55, the slide member 12 moves from the spout 10 side toward the container body 2 together. Therefore, the slide member 12 can be moved from the dispensing position P2 to the measurement position P1, and the contents in the container body 2 can be stored again in the measurement space R1.

  In addition, when the slide member 12 is moved to the extraction position P2, air can be introduced from the outside through the outlet 10 between the first partition wall portion 40 and the second partition wall portion 41. Thus, the air can be caused to flow into the container body 2 by returning the slide member 12 to the measuring position P1. Therefore, the negative pressure in the container main body 2 can be eliminated, and the internal pressure of the container main body 2 can be increased by pressing the container main body 2 from the outside of the container again. Therefore, the contents weighed in the same manner as described above can be poured out to the outside again. Therefore, by repeatedly increasing the internal pressure due to the deformation of the container body 2, it is possible to continuously dispense the measured contents.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the weighing and dispensing container 1 having excellent operability and easy to use can be obtained. In addition, since a predetermined amount of contents can be stably poured out with good reproducibility, the high-quality weighing and dispensing container 1 with improved weighing accuracy can be obtained.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the slide member 12 can be positioned at the measurement position P1 using the coil spring 55 and the restriction piece 38, so that the slide member 12 can be moved without being affected by the attitude of the container body 2. It can be stably positioned at the measuring position P1 with less rattling. Therefore, the slide member 12 can be moved stably and smoothly between the measurement position P1 and the extraction position P2, and the contents can be easily extracted efficiently.

  Further, when the slide member 12 is positioned at the extraction position P2, as shown in FIG. 5, the slide member 12 can be positioned at the extraction position P2 using the upper wall portion 33a of the connecting cylinder portion 33. it can. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the slide member 12 from greatly moving toward the spout 10 beyond the pouring position P2, and to suppress the sliding amount of the slide member 12. Accordingly, the slide member 12 can be quickly returned from the dispensing position P2 toward the measuring position P1, and for example, when the measured contents are repeatedly dispensed, the contents are efficiently and continuously dispensed. be able to.

(Modification of the first embodiment)
In the first embodiment, when the slide member 12 is positioned at the pouring position P2, the inflow of air from the outside into the measuring space R1 is allowed without passing through the spout 10 and the inside of the measuring space R1. A switching valve for regulating the outflow of contents from the outside to the outside may be further provided.

For example, the metering container 130 shown in FIG. 6 includes a ball valve 131 as a switching valve.
The first partition plate 45 of the first partition section 40 is formed with a first air hole 132 that passes through the first partition plate 45 in the direction of the nozzle axis O1 and has a cylindrical shape that houses the ball valve 131 therein. Is formed so as to protrude upward.

The first air hole 132 is formed in a portion of the first partition plate 45 that is located closer to the back surface 6 side of the container body 2 than the housing cylinder portion 50. The first air hole 132 is formed with a diameter smaller than the inner diameter of the valve cylinder portion 133. Accordingly, the ball valve 131 is restricted from moving into the measurement space R <b> 1 through the first air hole 132.
The valve cylinder part 133 is arranged coaxially with a central axis that penetrates the first air hole 132 in the nozzle axis O1 direction, and extends upward at a height that can be accommodated inside the first seal cylinder part 46. The upper end portion of the valve tube portion 133 is slightly reduced in diameter, and the inner diameter thereof is smaller than the diameter of the ball valve 131.

  The ball valve 131 is accommodated in the valve cylinder part 133 so as to be movable in the direction of the nozzle axis O <b> 1, and is placed on the first partition plate 45 so as to close the first air hole 132. When the ball valve 131 moves to the spout 10 side along the direction of the nozzle axis O <b> 1 in the valve cylinder part 133, further movement is restricted by the upper end part of the valve cylinder part 133. At this time, the ball valve 131 is in close contact with the inner peripheral surface of the upper end portion of the valve tube portion 133 to seal the inside of the valve tube portion 133. As a result, the ball valve 131 can regulate the outflow of the contents from the measurement space R1 through the valve cylinder portion 133.

  Further, a portion of the connecting cylinder portion 33 of the nozzle member 11 located above the support cylinder portion 37 penetrates the connecting cylinder portion 33 in the direction of the nozzle axis O1 and passes through the inside of the nozzle member 11 to the valve cylinder portion 133. A second air hole 134 communicating with the inside is formed.

  According to the metering / pouring container 130 configured as described above, when the container body 2 is tilted when the contents are poured out, the ball valve 131 moves to the spout 10 side in the valve cylinder part 133, and the valve cylinder It closely contacts the inner peripheral surface of the upper end of the portion 133. Therefore, the contents that have flowed into the measurement space R1 do not flow out of the measurement space R1 through the valve tube portion 133, so that the contents can be stored in the measurement space R1.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 7, the content measured in the measuring space R <b> 1 is poured out through the spout 10 by moving the slide member 12 to the pouring position P <b> 2 due to the increase in the internal pressure of the container body 2. be able to. At this time, the pressure from the contents acting on the ball valve 131 is reduced as the contents are discharged to the outside, so that the ball valve 131 is moved from the upper end portion of the valve barrel portion 133 to the first partition plate 45. The air can be slightly separated toward the side, and air can be taken into the valve tube part 133 while still restricting the outflow of the contents. That is, it is possible to allow air to flow into the valve cylinder portion 133 through the second air hole 134 and further to allow air to flow into the measurement space R1 through the first air hole 132.

As a result, the air replacement of the container body 2 can be performed more effectively, and the continuous dispensing of the contents can be performed more easily. In particular, it is effective in the case of the container body 2 (for example, a gable top or the like) having a low restoration deformability.
The case where the ball valve 131 is employed as the switching valve has been described as an example, but the present invention is not limited to the ball valve 131.

The upper end portion of the first slide cylinder portion 101 is located below the partition wall 91 in the second guide cylinder portion 90. Note that the distance along the nozzle axis O <b> 1 direction between the upper end portion of the first slide cylinder portion 101 and the inner ceiling wall portion 88 is the slide amount of the first slide member 100.

On the upper end side of the first slide tube portion 101, a plurality of second communication holes 103 penetrating the first slide tube portion 101 in the radial direction are formed at intervals in the circumferential direction. The second communication hole 103 is closed from the inside in the radial direction by the second guide cylinder portion 90, and when the first slide member 100 moves upward from the partition wall 91, the second communication hole 103 is inserted into the spout 10 through the slit hole 92. It is supposed to be able to communicate with.
An annular bulging portion 104 that slightly bulges radially outward is formed at the lower end of the first slide cylinder portion 101.

The first partition wall 102 includes an annular first partition plate 105 projecting radially outward from the upper end of the first slide cylinder 101 and an annular first seal that is in close contact with the inside of the upper measuring cylinder 82. A cylindrical portion 106.
The first seal tube portion 106 extends upward from the outer peripheral edge of the first partition plate 105 and is formed in an annular shape over the entire periphery of the first partition plate 105, and moves with the movement of the first slide member 100. It is possible to slide on the inner surface of the upper measuring cylinder portion 82 in the direction of the nozzle axis O1.

  The second slide member 110 includes a second slide cylinder portion 111 that further surrounds the first slide cylinder portion 101 from the outside in the radial direction, and a nozzle in the upper measurement cylinder portion 82 in the measurement space R1 as the second slide member 110 moves. And a second partition wall portion 112 slidable in the direction of the axis O1.

  The second slide cylinder 111 is slidable in the nozzle axis O1 direction with respect to the first slide cylinder 101. The lower end portion of the second slide cylinder portion 111 is in contact with the bulging portion 104 from above. For this reason, the second slide cylinder portion 111 is restricted from moving below the first slide cylinder portion 101 by the bulging portion 104. Further, the second slide cylinder part 111 enters the lower measurement cylinder part 81 from below.

When the second partition wall portion 112 is positioned inside the upper measurement tube portion 82, the second partition wall portion 112 is in close contact with the inner side of the upper measurement tube portion 82 and the annular second partition plate 115 that closes the inside of the upper measurement tube portion 82. And an annular second seal cylinder portion 116 that can be used.

The second seal cylinder 116 extends downward from the outer peripheral edge of the second partition plate 115 and is formed in an annular shape over the entire periphery of the second partition plate 115.

  The lower end portion of the second seal cylinder portion 116 is located slightly below the stopper wall 78. A plurality of support ribs 117 are formed at the lower end portion of the second seal cylinder portion 116 so as to protrude outward in the radial direction and are arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction. The support rib 117 is allowed to enter the lower measuring cylinder portion 81 from below.

  The slide member 62 configured as described above has a measurement position in which the communication between the measurement space R1 and the spout 10 is blocked by the first partition wall 102, and the measurement space R1 and the communication space R2 are connected. P1 (see FIGS. 8 and 9) and the second partition wall 112 block the communication between the measurement space R1 and the communication space R2, and the discharge position where the measurement space R1 and the discharge port 10 communicate with each other. It is possible to move in the nozzle axis O1 direction between P2 (see FIG. 11).

As described above, when the slide member 62 is positioned at the measurement position P1, the first slide cylinder portion 101 contacts the stopper wall 78 from above, and further downward movement is restricted. At the same time, the second slide cylinder portion 111 comes into contact with the bulging portion 104 from above, and further downward movement is restricted. Thereby, the slide member 62 is positioned at the measurement position P1.
Further, when the slide member 62 is located at the extraction position P <b> 2, the inside of the measurement space R <b> 1 communicates with the inside of the spout 10 through the second communication hole 103 and the slit hole 92. Further, since the first partition plate 105 comes into contact with the inner top wall portion 88 in a state where the first seal tube portion 106 enters the second accommodating recess 89, the first partition wall portion 102 has more spouts. Movement toward the 10 side is restricted. Thereby, the 1st slide member 100 is positioned in the extraction position P2.

In addition, in this embodiment, since the second slide member 110 is movable in the direction of the nozzle axis O1 with respect to the first slide member 100, the first slide member 100 is restricted from moving toward the spout 10 side. Then, the second slide member 110 can further move toward the spout 10 so as to approach the first partition wall 102.
Specifically, the second slide member 110 can move to the spout 10 side until the second partition plate 115 contacts the first partition plate 105 from the container body 2 side.

  Between the nozzle member 61 and the slide member 62 configured as described above, a coil spring (attached) that biases the slide member 62 toward the container body 2 along the nozzle axis O1 direction with respect to the nozzle member 61. Force member) 120 is disposed.

  The coil spring 120 is disposed coaxially with the nozzle shaft O1 in a compressed state between the connecting wall portion 83 of the nozzle member 61 and the support rib 117 of the slide member 62. Specifically, the lower end portion of the coil spring 120 is fitted into the plurality of support ribs 117 while being accommodated in the first accommodation recess 84. As a result, the lower end portion of the coil spring 120 is supported by the support rib 117, and the upper end portion is supported by the first accommodation recess 84.

  The coil spring 120 attached as described above urges the second slide member 110 toward the container body 2 by the spring force accompanying its own elastic restoring deformation. As a result, the coil spring 120 biases the first slide member 100 toward the container body 2 via not only the second slide member 110 but also the bulging portion 104. Therefore, the coil spring 120 urges the entire slide member 62 toward the container body 2 along the nozzle axis O1 direction. That is, the coil spring 120 always urges the slide member 62 toward the measuring position P1. Therefore, the entire slide member 62 is stably positioned with little backlash at the measuring position P1 while being pressed against the stopper wall 78 from above.

(Use of metering container)
Next, a description will be given of the case where the contents are dispensed while being metered using the weighing and dispensing container 60 configured as described above.

  In this case, the container body 2 is tilted from the state shown in FIG. 8, and the container body 2 is changed to a state close to an inverted posture as shown in FIG. When the container body 2 is tilted, the contents in the container body 2 flow into the nozzle member 61 through the mouth portion 3 and the first communication hole 77. As a result, the content that has flowed into the nozzle member 61 can flow into the measurement space R1 through the communication space R2.

  At this time, since the slide member 62 is urged toward the container main body 2 side with respect to the nozzle member 61 by the coil spring 120, the slide member 62 can be suppressed from moving toward the spout 10 side, The slide member 62 can still be positioned at the metering position P1. Therefore, the communication between the inside of the measuring space R1 and the inside of the spout 10 can be maintained by the first partition wall 102, and the contents can be gradually stored in the measuring space R1.

  After the storage of the contents in the measurement space R1 is completed, the container body 2 is pressed from the outside of the container as shown by an arrow C and deformed (squeezed) toward the inside of the container as shown in FIG. As a result, the volume of the container body 2 is reduced and the internal pressure increases, so that the slide member 62 can be moved toward the spout 10 side against the biasing force of the coil spring 120 as indicated by the arrow D. . That is, the slide member 62 can be moved from the measuring position P1 toward the dispensing position P2 in the measuring cylinder portion 80.

  Then, in the process in which the slide member 62 moves toward the dispensing position P2 (immediately after the state shown in FIG. 10), the second partition wall portion 112 enters the upper measuring tube portion 82, and moves inside the upper measuring tube portion 81. Since it slides toward the spout 10 side, the inside of the measurement space R1 can be partitioned and closed using the first partition wall portion 102 and the second partition wall portion 112. Therefore, the contents can be accurately measured using the closed measurement space R1.

  Thereafter, when the slide member 62 reaches the pouring position P2, as shown in FIG. 11, in the state where the communication between the measurement space R1 and the communication space R2 is blocked by the second partition wall portion 112, Since the inside of the spout 10 communicates through the second communication hole 103 and the slit hole 92, the contents stored in the measuring space R1, that is, the weighed contents can be poured out through the spout 10. .

Therefore, even in the case of the metering and dispensing container 60 of the present embodiment, the same operational effects as those of the first embodiment can be achieved. That is, since the container body 2 is tilted and the contents are stored in the measuring space R1, the contents weighed by a series of simple and continuous operations can be dispensed by simply pressing the container body 2 to increase the internal pressure. An easy-to-use weighing and dispensing container 60 having excellent operability can be obtained.
Further, even in the case of the metering and dispensing container 60 of the present embodiment, it is possible to stably dispense a predetermined amount of contents with good reproducibility and to repeatedly increase the internal pressure accompanying the deformation of the container body 2. By doing so, it is possible to continuously dispense the weighed contents.

In addition, in the case of the present embodiment, when the contents are poured out, the movement of the first slide member 100 toward the spout 10 side is regulated by the top wall 85 as shown in FIG. Further, only the second slide member 110 is moved further toward the spout 10 as indicated by the arrow E so that the second slide member 110 approaches the first partition wall 102 due to the increase in the internal pressure of the container body 2. Can do. Thereby, the content weighed between the first partition wall portion 102 and the second partition wall portion 112 in the measurement space R1 is forcibly discharged from the spout 10 using the movement of the second slide member 110. Can be poured out to the outside.
Accordingly, it is possible to more reliably pour out the weighed content to the outside, and for example, to pour out the content vigorously in a short time.

  As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention was described, this embodiment is shown as an example and is not intending limiting the range of invention. The present embodiment can be implemented in various other forms, and various omissions, replacements, and changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention. You may combine a modification suitably. Furthermore, the present embodiment and its modifications include, for example, those that can be easily assumed by those skilled in the art, those that are substantially the same, and those that are in an equivalent range.

  For example, in the first embodiment, the case where the nozzle axis O1 is inclined with respect to the container axis O2 has been described as an example. However, the present invention is not limited to this case. For example, the nozzle is the same as in the second embodiment. The axis O1 may be coaxial with the container axis O2. Conversely, in the second embodiment, the nozzle axis O1 may be inclined with respect to the container axis O2, as in the first embodiment.

  In each of the above embodiments, the internal pressure is increased by pressing the container body 2 from the outside of the container. However, the present invention is not limited to this case, and other methods or constituent means may be adopted as long as the internal pressure can be increased. It doesn't matter.

  Further, in each of the above embodiments, the coil springs 55 and 120 are configured to always urge the slide members 12 and 62 toward the measuring position P1, but the present invention is not limited to this case. The coil springs 55 and 120 are configured to urge the slide members 12 and 62 from the dispensing position P2 side toward the measurement position P1 side at least when the sliding members 12 and 62 reach the dispensing position P2. It doesn't matter.
