However, according to the devices of Patent Documents 1 and 2, the weighing object flowing into the weighing small box or the measuring box below from the hopper is scraped off by the closing plate or the leveling plate. Therefore, when the object to be weighed is scraped off by the closing plate or the leveling plate, the casket or the object to be weighed in the measuring box under the pressure from the object to be weighed in the hopper is the casket or the measuring object. It may be sandwiched between the edge of the measuring box and the edge of the closing plate or the leveling plate, and the weighing object may not be smoothly scraped off by the movement of the measuring small box or the measuring box. In addition, since a space for moving a measuring small box or a measuring box is required, the size of the device is increased.

An object of the present invention is to provide a compact weighing storage container capable of smoothly fraying an object to be weighed in view of the problems of the prior art.

A bottomed cylindrical measuring unit provided in the container body and having an upper surface opening facing the notch,
It is characterized by including a scraping shielding portion that pushes the weighing object beyond the upper surface opening of the measuring portion back to the container body through the notch.

According to the present invention, by tilting the container body from the standing posture toward the measuring unit, the object to be measured stored in the container body can be sent to the measuring unit via the notch. Then, the posture of the container body was returned to the original standing posture, and the object to be weighed beyond the upper surface opening of the measuring part was pushed back to the container body through the notch by the scraping shielding part, and was subjected to this pushing back. The portion of the scraping shielding portion can shield the portion of the notch portion through which the weighing object pushed back at the time of pushing back has passed. As a result, a predetermined amount of the object to be measured corresponding to the volume remains in the measuring unit.

Further, by tilting the container body toward the measuring unit once again, the object to be measured in the measuring unit can be transferred to the cup or the like. At this time, since the cutout portion is shielded, only a predetermined amount of the object to be weighed in the measuring portion can be easily transferred to the cup or the like.
