Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a soy sauce pitcher, and more particularly to a soy sauce pitcher that can stand up on its own when it falls. In addition to soy sauce, it can also be used for tableware containers such as sauces and vinegar.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Generally, a soy sauce container for a table is formed of a glass container and a plastic spout lid member detachably attached to an upper opening of the container.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 By the way, in the above-mentioned conventional type, if the soy sauce container falls from a normal standing state due to vibration of the table or careless handling, etc., the soy sauce container cannot return (standing) by itself, and the stored soy sauce There is a problem that the spills out onto the floor surface and contaminates the floor surface. The purpose of the present invention is to solve such a problem, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a soy sauce bottle that can return to a normal standing state by itself when it falls.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention relates to a soy sauce tank having a soy sauce storage tank part that forms a part of a spherical shell and a plastic spout lid member that is detachably attached to an upper opening of the tank part. A horizontal circular bottom for mounting is formed, and the height of the tank along the vertical center line on the bottom is set substantially equal to the radius of the spherical shell as a means for solving the problem.

In the soy sauce jug of the present invention, the center of gravity of the whole soy sauce jug is always lower than the center of the spherical shell. Therefore, when the soy sauce container is overturned, when the distance between the center of the spherical shell and the center of gravity of the soy sauce container is L, the tank portion is located around the center of the spherical shell M = L × W (W is the weight of the soy sauce container) (The sum of the weight of the soy sauce and the weight of the injected soy sauce), and the soy saucer returns to its normal standing state by itself by the action of this moment.

[0006]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 Hereinafter, a soy sauce jug as an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a longitudinal sectional view, FIG. 2 is a top view thereof, and FIG. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a soy sauce tank portion formed by a part of a spherical shell, and a circular upper opening 2 is formed in the center of an upper portion 1a of the tank portion 1; An annular male screw portion 3 having a height smaller than the diameter of the tank portion 1 and capable of screwing a cover member 4 made of a substantially cylindrical plastic and having a female screw portion is provided upright in the opening 2.

The lid member 4 has a plurality of spouts 5 formed therein. Further, a horizontal circular bottom surface 6 for mounting is formed at the bottom of the tank portion 1. Reference symbol O in the figure indicates the center of the spherical shell forming the tank portion 1, and reference numeral 1 a indicates the vertical center line of the bottom surface 6.

In the case of the present embodiment, the upper part 1a is formed slightly above the center O of the spherical shell. Specifically, in the case of this spherical shell having a radius of 40 mm, the distance between the upper portion 1a and the center is set to 5 mm.

The set height of the upper part 1 a, that is, the height of the tank part 1 does not necessarily have to be set slightly higher than the center O. That is, the height of the tank portion may be set to the same height as the center O, or may be set slightly lower than the center O. In the present invention, these positions of the upper portion 1a are collectively referred to as "the height of the tank portion is set substantially equal to the radius of the spherical shell".

In use, soy sauce can be injected up to the level (the highest injection level) b at the upper end of the maximum male screw member 3. The center of gravity O ₁ of the entire soy sauce bottle is always below the center O of the spherical shell, whether the maximum or a small amount of soy sauce is injected or when the soy sauce is empty. This is because the tank 1 is composed of a substantially lower half of a spherical shell (almost a sphere), and the length (height) of the male screw 3 is set shorter (lower) than the radius of the tank. Therefore, even when the maximum amount of soy sauce is injected, the center of gravity O ₁ of the whole soy sauce bottle is always lower than the center O of the spherical shell.

Therefore, when the soy sauce jar 10 rolls over on the table 11 as shown in FIG. 3, the tank portion 1 has a distance L between the center O of the spherical shell and the center of gravity O _1. A moment M around the center O in the direction of the arrow A of L × W is generated. Here, W is the sum of the weight of the soy sauce holder 10 and the weight of the poured soy sauce.

By the action of the moment M, the soy sauce jug 10 rolls in the direction of arrow A along the spherical outer surface of the tank portion 1, and the bottom surface 6 is landed on the table 11. In this way, the soy sauce jug 10 returns to its normal standing state by itself.

[0013] Here, the moment M is proportional to the sum of the weight of the soy sauce jug and the weight of the injected soy sauce. Therefore, the greater the weight of the soy sauce jug, the greater the moment M. Therefore, the material of the tank portion 1 is preferably a material having a large specific gravity, such as ceramics or glass, and plastics may also be used for aesthetic reasons.

[0014] Also when the inclined angle θ with respect to the floor surface 11a without sauce feed 10 is _{overturned, M 1 = L 1 × W} ( although the center O and the distance L ₁ between the center of gravity O ₁₎ becomes the direction of the arrow soy sauce feed 10 moment about the center O is M ₁ is generated to return to normal upright position.

As described above, the soy sauce jug 10 of this embodiment can return to a normal standing state by itself even when it is tilted slightly, as well as when it is completely rolled over. Soy sauce spilling out of the container can be minimized.

[0016]

[Effect of the invention]

 As described above in detail, according to the present invention, the soy sauce container can return to a normal standing state by itself even if it falls, thereby minimizing the flow of soy sauce from the spout when it falls. can do.
