On the lower surface of the top wall 30, the inner circumference engages with the lid engaging portion 24 of the discharge cylinder 23 at a position eccentric from the center to the opposite side (front side) of the hinge C2 to maintain the lid closed. 32 and a sealing cylinder 33 whose outer circumference is inserted into the inner circumference of the discharge cylinder 23 and seals the inside of the cap body C1 are vertically provided inside the engaging cylinder 32.

Next, the usage mode and the action and effect of this example will be described.
In the measuring inner plug B of this embodiment, the outer edge of the inclined wall 15 of the flow path regulating portion 11 is upward as shown in FIGS. 2 (b) and 2 (c) in consideration of die cutting after injection molding. It is molded in an inclined state.
After molding, the inclined wall 15 is pushed in from above with a jig or the like to invert the inclined wall 15 via the thin portion 14, and as shown in FIG. 1, the inclined wall 15 is inverted so as to be inclined downward. To process.

Next, after the container A is filled with the fluid solid matter as the content, the inverted measuring inner plug B is inserted into the mouth 1 of the container A, and the flange 6 of the measuring inner plug B and the upper surface of the mouth 1 are inserted. Is brought into contact with the container A to set the measuring inner plug B in the container A.
After that, the cap C with the lid C3 closed is covered from above the mouth portion 1 of the container A, and the screw engaging portion 25 of the outer peripheral wall 20 of the cap body C1 and the screw ridge 2 of the container A are screwed together. The upper wall 21 of the cap body C1 and the mouth 1 of the container A sandwich and fix the flange 6 of the measuring inner plug B, and the container is assembled as a closed measuring container.
In this embodiment, when the cap C is attached to the container A, it is screwed with a screw, but the attachment method is not limited to this, for example, by tapping the cap C on the container A. You may wear it.

When using the fluid solid matter in the container A of this embodiment, the container A is gently tilted while the lid C3 is closed, and the flow in the container A is as shown in FIG. 3A. A solid substance is passed through the opening 9 of the measuring inner plug B in the order of the flow path a and the opening window b, and flows into the measuring chamber α.
After that, when the container A in the inverted state is returned to the upright state, the fluid solid matter beyond the upper end of the inner cylinder 10 passes through the opening window b and the flow path a as shown in FIG. 3 (b). Since it is returned to the container A, the fluid solid matter remaining on the outer peripheral side of the inner cylinder 10 is left in the measuring chamber α.

Next, as shown in FIG. 4, when the lid C3 of the cap C is opened and the container A is quickly inverted, the fluid solid matter that has flowed into the measuring chamber α and remains is discharged from the cap body C1. It passes through 22 and is discharged to the outside through the discharge cylinder 23.
At that time, the fluid solid matter in the container A passes through the opening 9, the flow path a, and the opening window b, but is formed inside the ceiling wall 13 and the inclined wall 15 of the flow path regulating portion 11. The fluid solids accumulated in the regulation chamber β are closed before the accumulated fluid solids cross the tip of the inclined wall 15, and the fluid solids are prevented from flowing in any more.
Since the inflow of the fluid solid matter from the container A is prevented and only the fluid solid matter remaining in the measuring chamber α is discharged, the fluid solid matter measured in the measuring chamber α can be stably discharged.

As a modification of this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, the reversing-processed measuring inner plug B can have a sealing material S that closes the inside of the measuring inner plug B attached to the upper surface of the flange 6.
As a result, even if the lid C3 of the cap C is inadvertently opened with respect to the measuring container before use, the sealed state inside the container A can be maintained, and the quality of the fluid solid matter as the content deteriorates. Etc. can be prevented.

Next, a second embodiment in which the shape of the measuring inner plug B is changed will be described.
Hereinafter, the same components as those in the first embodiment will be designated by the same reference numerals, and only the different components will be designated by different reference numerals, and the differences will be mainly described.

As shown in FIG. 6, the measuring inner plug Ba is the outer cylinder 5 set in the container (not shown), the flange 6 extending outward from the outer edge of the upper end of the outer cylinder 5, and the outer cylinder 5. After smoothly curving inward from the inner edge of the lower end, the bottom wall 8 extending inward and upward in a conical shape and the inner circumference of the upper end of the bottom wall 8 are used as the opening 9, and are erected from the peripheral edge of the opening 9. The inner cylinder 10 and the flow path restricting portion 11 formed above the inner cylinder 10 (opening 9) are provided.
The cap C is connected to the cap body C1a attached to the container together with the measuring inner plug Ba, the hinge C2 connected to the upper end of the outer circumference of the cap body C1a, and the cap body C1a via the hinge C2, and is connected to the cap body C1a. It is provided with a lid C3 that opens and closes the discharge port 22 of the above.

In this embodiment, the flange 6 of the measuring inner plug Ba has an engaging outer wall 40 extending from the outer edge, and the outer peripheral surface of the engaging outer wall 40 is the lower surface of the upper wall 21 of the cap body C1a and the inner circumference of the outer peripheral wall 20. An undercut 41 that comes into contact with the surface and engages with the end of the engaging outer wall 40 is provided on the inner circumference of the outer peripheral wall 20.
The weighing inner plug Ba of the present embodiment is delivered by setting the measuring inner plug Ba obtained by reversing the inclined wall 15 in the cap body C1a, so that it is not necessary to set the measuring inner plug Ba in the filled container. Workability can be improved.

In the first embodiment and the second embodiment, the cap C is a hinge cap in which the cap body C1 (C1a) and the lid body C3 are connected by the hinge C2, but the lid body C3 and the cap body C1 ( It may be a fitting cap or the like in which C1a) is undercut and fitted.

Since the measuring container of the present invention can be easily made into a measuring container by simply attaching the measuring inner plug to the container with an existing cap, it is highly versatile as a measuring container and can be applied to a wide range of containers.
