Description

  The present invention relates to a container for storing powdered particles such as artificial hair made of a short-fiber synthetic polymer, and in particular, appropriately sprinkles the appropriate amount without scattering the stored particles. The present invention relates to a powder and particle ejection container.

  Conventionally, a container as shown in FIG. 9 is known as a container for storing short-fiber artificial hair and powder particles such as salt and pepper. In FIG. 9, B is a container body having a predetermined volume, and a porous inner lid Ci provided with a plurality of holes h is attached to the upper end opening. In addition, a detachable outer lid Co that covers the upper end opening portion to which the inner lid Ci is attached is provided on the upper portion of the container body B. And according to such a container, by removing the outer lid Co and shaking the container body B upside down, the contents (powder particles) of the container body B can be sprinkled on the object in an appropriate amount. .

  However, since the user himself shakes the container body B, the contents may be out of order when the contents are shaken out, and the contents may be scattered around. There was a problem that it was difficult to operate when it was sprinkled on the head.

  In view of this, a device has been proposed in which a vibration motor is attached to the container body, and the vibration generated by the drive is propagated to the container body so that the user can swing out the contents without shaking the container body (for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2).

Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 4-93021 Registered Utility Model No. 3051014

  According to the devices disclosed in the above Patent Documents 1 and 2, if the user himself does not shake the container body and holds it upside down, the contents are shaken out by the vibration of the vibration motor. Although it can be scattered on the object without being scattered around, the vibration motor as a vibration generation source is merely driven / stopped by the ON / OFF operation of the switch.

  In other words, the vibration motor only rotates at a constant speed when driven, and the magnitude of the vibration generated by the vibration motor is also constant, so the discharge amount of the contents cannot be adjusted, and the contents can be more than necessary in a short time. There is a problem that it takes a long time to discharge or a required amount is discharged.

  The present invention has been made in view of the circumstances as described above, and its purpose is a simple powder ejection that can adjust the discharge amount of the powder contained in the container body as necessary. To provide a container.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention
A container main body for storing a predetermined granular material, and a porous body that has a plurality of holes for discharging the granular material stored in the container main body and is attached to the upper end opening of the container main body. In the granular material ejection container having an inner lid, a detachable outer lid that covers the upper end opening of the container body, and a vibration generating mechanism for vibrating the container body,
It has a vibration control part which makes variable the size of the vibration which the above-mentioned vibration generating mechanism emits.

Moreover, in the granular material shakeout container comprised as mentioned above,
The vibration generating mechanism includes a vibration motor fixed to a portion of the container body and a power supply unit for supplying a driving current to the vibration motor.
The vibration adjusting unit may include a variable resistor having an operation piece that can increase and decrease a drive current supplied from the power supply unit to the vibration motor to change the speed of the vibration motor.

  Furthermore, in the granular material dispensing container configured as described above, the granular material is an artificial hair made of a short fibrous synthetic polymer.

  In addition, the vibration generating mechanism is detachably attached to the container main body as a vibration unit integrated with the vibration adjusting unit.

  According to the present invention, a container main body for storing a predetermined granular material and a plurality of holes for discharging the granular material stored in the container main body are attached to the upper end opening of the container main body. Vibration generated by the vibration generating mechanism in a granular material dispensing container having a porous inner lid, a removable outer cover that covers the upper end opening of the container main body, and a vibration generating mechanism for vibrating the container main body Therefore, the vibration generated by the vibration generating mechanism is changed according to the size and condition of the object to which the powder is sprinkled. It is possible to adjust the discharge amount (swing amount per unit time) of artificial hair and other granular materials housed in the container main body in which is propagated.

  In addition, in the configuration in which the vibration generating mechanism includes a vibration motor including a power supply unit, and the vibration adjustment unit includes a variable resistor that increases or decreases the drive current supplied from the power supply unit to the vibration motor, each member is reduced in size. It can be easily incorporated into the container body.

  Hereinafter, application examples of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows a perspective exploded view of a powder particle ejection container according to the present invention. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a bottomed cylindrical container body made of synthetic resin or the like, and the container body 1 has a predetermined volume and accommodates powder particles therein.

  Reference numeral 2 denotes a porous inner lid attached to the upper end opening 11 of the container main body 1, and a small amount of powder particles in the container main body 1 are passed through the plurality of holes 21 a and 22 a formed in the inner lid 2. It can be discharged. In particular, in this example, the inner lid 2 includes a first nozzle plate 21 having a hole portion 21a and a second nozzle plate 22 having a hole portion 22a having a hole diameter smaller than the hole portion 21a. The aperture ratio of the nozzle plate 21 is set larger than that of the nozzle plate 22. A cylindrical body 24 having a flange 23 at the upper end is integrally formed on the outer periphery of the nozzle plate 22, and the nozzle plate 21 is spaced from the nozzle plate 22 at a certain interval at the lower end of the body 24. It is set as the structure fixed.

  The double-structured inner lid 2 having the two nozzle plates 21 and 22 is held at a fixed position by fitting the body portion 24 into the upper end opening 11 of the container body 1, and at this time, the flange portion 23. Is seated at the opening edge of the upper end opening 11 to prevent the inner lid 2 from falling into the container body 1.

  The inner lid 2 can be constituted by only one of the nozzle plates 21 and 22. However, the nozzle plate 21 having a large hole diameter and opening ratio is set on the inside as described above, and the hole diameter and opening are set on the outer side. In the configuration in which the nozzle plates 22 having a small rate are arranged to face each other, it is possible to reduce the influence of the storage amount of the granular material on the discharge amount.

  In FIG. 1, reference numeral 3 denotes a removable outer cover that covers the upper end opening 11 of the container main body 1, and this outer cover 3 is attached to the upper part of the container main body 1 when not in use so that foreign matter can enter into the container main body 1. It works to prevent contamination and scattering of contents. A male screw portion 12 for fastening the outer lid 3 is formed on the outer periphery of the upper portion of the container body 1, and a female screw portion (not shown) corresponding to the male screw portion 12 is formed on the inner periphery of the outer lid 3. However, the outer lid 3 is not limited to the screw-in type, and may be a one-touch attachment / detachment method by fitting.

  On the other hand, a shielding cover 4 is fixed to the bottom of the container main body 1, and a vibration generating mechanism (described later) that generates vibrations propagating to the container main body 1 is provided on the inside. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 52 denotes an operation piece for adjusting the magnitude of vibration generated by the vibration generating means, and the magnitude of vibration generated by the vibration generating mechanism changes according to the amount of rotation operation. ing.

  Next, FIG. 2 shows the longitudinal cross-section of a granular material ejection container. In FIG. 2, reference numeral 6 denotes the above-described vibration generating mechanism. The vibration generating mechanism 6 includes a vibration motor 61 fixed to the bottom of the container body 1 and a power supply unit 62 for supplying a driving current to the vibration motor 61. It consists of. The vibration motor 61 has a structure in which a weight 61c is fixed in an eccentric state to a rotor shaft 61b of a motor main body 61a. The motor main body 61a is sandwiched between projecting pieces 13 and 13 protruding from the bottom of the container main body 1. It is fixed to the main body 1.

  According to the vibration motor 61, when the rotor shaft 61b is rotationally driven, the motor main body 61a vibrates by the action of the weight 61c fixed to the rotor shaft 61b in an eccentric state, and the vibration is caused by the container main body 1, the inner lid 2, and In order to propagate to the granular material accommodated in the container main body 1, simply remove the outer lid 3 and turn the container main body 1 upside down (the mounting side of the inner lid 2 faces downward). It can be discharged from. The motor body 61a is composed of a variable speed motor in which the number of rotations of the rotor shaft 61b changes according to the energization amount.

  As is clear from FIG. 2, a recess 14 is formed in the bottom of the container main body 1 so that the power source 62 can be disposed in the recess 14.

  FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing the bottom of the container body 1 with the shielding cover 4 removed. As is apparent from this figure, the power supply unit 62 is configured to be able to store two dry batteries 62b (in this example, 1.5 A AA dry batteries) in a vertically long battery box 62a. In addition, a battery cover 41 that can be freely opened and closed is attached to the shielding cover 4 in correspondence with the power supply unit 62, and the dry battery 62b can be replaced without removing the shielding cover 4 by opening the battery cover 41. It is said that.

  In FIG. 3, reference numeral 5 denotes a vibration adjusting unit that makes the magnitude of vibration generated by the vibration generating mechanism 6 variable. The vibration adjusting unit 5 includes a known variable resistor 51 having a shaft portion (not shown) that can rotate forward and backward, and the operation piece 52 is fixed to the shaft portion. According to the vibration adjusting unit 5, by rotating the operation piece 52, the resistance value of the variable resistor 51 is gradually increased or decreased according to the rotation operation amount, and is thereby supplied to the vibration motor 61. The drive current can be increased / decreased, and the vibration motor 61 can be changed in speed (the rotational speed of the rotor shaft 61b is increased / decreased) to change the magnitude (amplitude and frequency) of the propagation vibration to the container body 1 and the like. .

  FIG. 4 shows an example of an electric circuit related to driving of the vibration motor 61. As is apparent from this figure, the power supply unit 62, the variable resistor 51, and the vibration motor 61 are connected in series. In particular, the variable resistor 51 integrally includes an ON / OFF switch portion 51a that opens and closes the circuit.

  Specifically, when the operation piece 52 is at the start end position and the switch portion 51a is turned off, when the operation piece 52 is rotated from the start end position toward the end position, the switch portion 51a is turned on, The resistance value of the variable resistor 51 is gradually reduced.

  In addition, although it is good also as a structure which provides the switch part 51a separately from the variable resistor 51, in such a structure, even if it is a case where only a small amount of powder is used, the resistance value of the variable resistor 51 is. The vibration motor 61 is started in the minimum state, and as soon as the switch is turned on, there is a possibility that many powder particles are discharged. In this regard, in the configuration as described above, the vibration motor 61 is not started in a state where the resistance value of the variable resistor 51 is the minimum, and the vibration is gradually increased to discharge the granular material (unit: The amount of vibration per hour) can be gradually increased.

  Here, the effect | action of the shakeout container comprised as mentioned above is demonstrated. FIG. 5 is a schematic view showing the state of use. In this example, artificial hair made of a short-fiber synthetic polymer compound colored as a granular material P is accommodated in the container body 1, and symbol H in FIG. Shows the head. To sprinkle artificial hair on the head H, the outer lid 3 is first removed, and the container body 1 is turned upside down on the head H. When the operation piece 52 is turned and the vibration motor 61 is started, the vibration propagates to the container body 1 and the container body 1 vibrates, so that the artificial hair housed therein faces the head H. It is shaken out. Here, when the progress of thin hair is large and the range is wide, if the rotation amount of the operation piece 52 is increased while checking the discharge amount of the artificial hair with a mirror, the discharge amount of the artificial hair increases. Many artificial hairs sufficient to cover the portion can be quickly discharged.

  In addition, if the rotation amount of the operation piece 52 is reduced, the discharge amount of the artificial hair is reduced. Therefore, for a user whose progress of thin hair is small and the range is narrow, while preventing excessive use of the artificial hair, a small amount thereof is reduced. It can be hung well on the thin hair part.

  As mentioned above, although the specific example of the shakeout container which concerns on this invention was demonstrated, the granular material accommodated in the container main body 1 is not restricted to artificial hair, but is powder or granular materials, such as salt, pepper, or a chemical seasoning. There may be. Moreover, although the example which uses the variable resistor 51 of a rotation operation type as the vibration adjustment part 5 was demonstrated in the said example, a slide operation type variable resistor can also be used for this.

  Further, the vibration generating mechanism 6 is not limited to being fixed to the container main body 1, but may be a unit that is detachable from the container main body 1. 6 to 8 show an example thereof. 6 to 8, reference numeral 7 denotes a vibration unit. The vibration unit 7 includes a cylindrical unit case 71, a vibration adjustment unit 5 (variable resistor 51 and operation piece 52), and a vibration mechanism 6 (vibration motor 61 and power supply unit). 62). In particular, in this example, a connecting projection 72 is formed at the upper end opening edge of the unit case 7, and a bowl-shaped notch 14 is formed on the lower outer periphery of the container body 1, and the connecting projection 72 is fitted into the notch 14. The vibration unit 7 is connected to the container main body 1 by being inserted. And according to such a detachable vibration unit 7, after using the granular material in the container main body 1, it can replace with the new container main body 1 and can use it. In this example, the power supply unit 62 has a recess formed in the unit case 71 as a battery box 62a. The battery box 62a is accommodated in the battery box 62a, and the battery box 62a can be opened and closed by the battery lid 73. It is said that.
