Japanese Patent No. 5695376

    However, in the above-mentioned powder container, when the size of the powder becomes small, the powder suddenly flows out from the outlet opening at the tip of the cover body, and there is a problem that it is difficult to adjust the amount of the powder.

    An object of the present invention is to provide a powder container and a method for adjusting the amount of powder that have been made in consideration of the above problems.

    The powder container according to claim 1, further comprising a container body having an opening at a distal end and having a storage portion for storing powder therein, and covering the opening of the container body and an inner peripheral wall of the opening. A mounting table that is mounted and has a first opening, and an outlet opening that is an outlet for the powder at the tip, and is attached to an outer peripheral wall of the opening and covers the mounting table. A moving body that moves in the cover body and opens and closes the first opening, wherein the size of the opening> the size of the outlet opening> the size of the first opening.

    A powder container according to a second aspect of the present invention is the powder container according to the first aspect of the present invention, wherein a picking portion that is manually picked on the mounting table is formed to protrude.

    Further, the method for adjusting the amount of powder according to claim 3 has a container body having an opening at a tip end and a storage portion for storing powder therein, and covering the opening of the container body, A mounting table mounted on the inner peripheral wall of the opening, having a first opening, and having an outlet opening at the tip as the outlet of the powder, mounted on the outer peripheral wall of the opening, A cover body, and a spherical moving body that moves in the cover body and opens and closes the first opening, the size of the opening> the size of the outlet opening> the first opening The size of the powder is adjusted by moving the container body and moving the spherical moving body.

    According to the powder container of the first aspect, since the first opening is opened and closed by the moving body, the amount of the powder can be easily adjusted.

    According to the powder container of the second aspect, in addition to the effect of the first aspect of the invention, the mounting table can be easily attached to and detached from the container body by the protruding knob.

    According to the method for adjusting the amount of powder described in claim 3, since the first opening is opened and closed by moving the spherical moving body, the amount of powder can be easily adjusted.

FIG. 1 is a schematic sectional view of a powder container according to one embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a schematic exploded perspective view showing the powder container of FIG. 1 in an exploded manner. FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram showing a use state of the powder container of FIG. FIG. 4 is an enlarged schematic view showing a part of FIG.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings (FIGS. 1 to 4).
C shown in FIG. 1 is a powder container, and the powder container C is, as shown in FIGS.
, Mounting table 2, cover 3, moving body 4, and lid 5.

As shown in FIG. 2, the container body 1 has an opening 1 a at the tip and stores therein powder 6 (the powder 6 is a food, a seasoning, or the like, for example, jasmine tea powder). A portion 1b is provided.
The opening 1a is, for example, a circular hole having a diameter of 6 mm.

    The mounting table 2 covers the opening 1a of the container body 1, is mounted on the inner peripheral wall 1c of the opening 1a, and has a first opening 2a. The mounting table 2 is formed with a knob portion 2b that is picked out by hand. The mounting table 2 can be easily attached to and detached from the container body 1 by the knob 2b. The first opening 2a is, for example, a circular hole having a diameter of 2 mm.

The cover body 3 has an outlet opening 3a which is an outlet of the powder 6 at the tip, and is attached to the outer peripheral wall 1d of the opening 1a to cover the mounting table 2, and is tapered toward the outlet opening 3a. ing. The cover body 3 is formed of a member that can be elastically deformed, for example, plastic, and its degree of elasticity is such that when the cover body 3 is pressed with a finger of the hand and the pressing is released, the cover body 3 returns to its original state.
The cover body 3 is preferably made of a transparent or translucent member. This is because the "remaining amount of the powder 6, the presence or absence of clogging by the powder 6," and the like in the powder container C can be confirmed via the cover 3 formed of a transparent or translucent member.
The outlet opening 3a provided at the tip of the cover body 3 has, for example, a funnel shape.
The container body 1, the mounting table 2, and the cover body 3 are configured to be detachable because the container body 1, the mounting table 2, and the cover body 3 are switched when the powder to be put into the container body 1 is switched to a new powder. After washing with water or the like, and after washing and drying, it can be used. Alternatively, only the container body 1 may be used in common, and the mounting table 2 and the cover body 3 may be new ones.
The outlet opening 3a is, for example, a circular hole having a diameter of 3 mm.

The moving body 4 moves in the cover body 3 and opens and closes the first opening 2a, and is formed, for example, in a spherical shape.
As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, since the first opening 2 a is opened and closed by moving the moving body 4, the moving body 4 is brought into contact with the inner wall of the cover body 3 so that the powder 6 does not flow out at once ( 3 and 4), the amount of the powder 6 can be easily adjusted.
When the amount is insufficient, the container body 1 can be adjusted in a desired amount by moving the container body 1 in the direction of the arrow shown in FIG. Further, even if the powder 6 is clogged, the clogging of the powder 6 can be easily eliminated by moving the container body 1 in the direction of the arrow shown in FIG.

The cover 5 covers the cover 3 and abuts and locks on the side surface of the cover 3. The cover 5 contacts the peripheral edge of the outlet opening 3 a at the tip of the cover 3. A sealing portion 5a for sealing the outlet opening 3a (closing the opening) is provided.
Reference numeral 5b denotes a clip for engaging a pocket of clothes (not shown), and the clip 5b is provided outside the lid 5. In some cases, the clip 5b may be omitted.
The size of the opening 1a (for example, 6 mm in diameter)> the size of the outlet opening 3a (for example, 3 mm in diameter)> the size of the first opening 2a (for example, 2 mm in diameter).

    Therefore, according to the powder container C (the method of adjusting the amount of powder) described in FIGS. 1 to 4 described above, since the first opening 2a is opened and closed by the moving body 4, the amount of the powder 6 can be easily adjusted. It can be carried out.
