  However, in the container described in Patent Document 1, when an external force such as vibration is applied to the container in the first reverse state, the granular material disposed in the inner cap spills down from the upper end of the inner cap onto the pedestal portion. May end up. In this case, there is a problem in that an exact amount cannot be poured because a larger amount of powder than the predetermined amount is poured from the spout.

  This invention is made | formed in view of the said situation, and provides the container which can pour out a predetermined amount of accommodation correctly.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention employs the following means.
That is, a container according to the present invention covers a housing portion having a bottomed cylindrical shape, the inside serving as a housing space and a first opening formed at the upper end, and the housing portion spaced apart from above and from the outer peripheral side. A cover portion that is formed with the upper end closed and a second opening formed at the lower end is disposed below the first opening, and an upper portion of the housing portion so as to enclose the cover portion. And a cap portion connected to the second opening and having a third opening communicating with the second opening.

  In such a container, the container is accommodated in the accommodation space when the container is changed from the first accommodation state in which the contents are accommodated in the accommodation space to the first reverse state in which the third opening of the container is directed downward. The contents move to the cover. In this state, even if an external force such as vibration is applied to the container, for example, the second opening of the cover portion is positioned above the first opening, so that the contents in the cover portion are opened in the second opening. There is no spilling from the part. Therefore, the container is placed in the second inverted state, which is turned upside down again from the second accommodation state in which the third opening portion of the container is directed upward, so that the contents in the cover portion are accurately received from the third opening portion by a predetermined amount. Can be dispensed to.

  Further, in the container according to the present invention, the storage portion includes a container main body formed in a bottomed cylindrical shape, an extending wall portion extending from the upper portion of the container main body toward the inner peripheral side, and the extension There is a standing wall portion that is erected from the inner peripheral end of the wall portion and has an upper end as the first opening, and an outer edge wall portion that is erected from the outer peripheral end portion of the extending wall portion. It is preferable.

  In such a container, when the container is changed from the first storage state to the first reverse state, the storage object stored in the storage space moves to the cover portion. Next, when the container is brought into the second accommodation state, the contents in the cover part move downward and are arranged on the extending wall part. Even if the cap part is removed from this state and an external force is applied to the accommodating part, the outer edge wall part prevents the contents on the extending wall part from moving from the end of the extending wall part to the outer peripheral side. Therefore, the contents are not spilled from the accommodating portion.

  Moreover, the container which concerns on this invention may be formed so that the said cover part may go to an inner peripheral side as it goes upwards from the downward direction.

  In such a container, since the cover part is formed so as to reduce the space volume in the cover part, the container moves to the cover part when the container is changed from the first accommodation state to the first reverse state. Can be reduced. Therefore, a small amount of the contained item can be accurately poured out from the third opening.

  According to the container which concerns on this invention, a container can be made to pour out a predetermined amount of accommodation correctly by being changed from a 1st accommodation state to a 1st reverse state, a 2nd accommodation state, and a 2nd reverse state. it can.

It is a disassembled perspective view of the container which concerns on one Embodiment of this invention. It is sectional drawing of the state (1st accommodation state) which accommodated the stored item in the inside of the container which concerns on one Embodiment of this invention.

  Next, the operation | movement which pours out this granular material from the granular material accommodated in the container 1 comprised as mentioned above is demonstrated.

  First, as shown in FIG. 2, the user removes the outer cap 50 by pulling the lid 60 upward in a state in which the granular material is accommodated in the container body 10 (hereinafter referred to as a first accommodation state). Next, the user assumes that the container 1 is turned upside down so that the third opening W3 faces downward as shown in FIG. 3 (hereinafter referred to as a first reverse state). To do.

  As the container 1 moves from the first accommodation state to the first reverse state, the granular material passes through the inclined wall portion 35 of the inner cap 20 and the inner peripheral side of the cylindrical wall portion 36, and the cover portion 45. It is arranged in the inside. At this time, the position of the upper surface X1 of the granular material (hereinafter referred to as the first moving body) X disposed in the cover part 45 is substantially the same as the position of the first opening W1, and the cover part 45 The position is lower than the position of the second opening W2.

  Next, the user sets the container 1 in a state where the third opening W3 of the container 1 is inclined obliquely downward as shown in FIG. 4 (hereinafter referred to as an inclined state).

  As the container 1 moves from the first reverse state to the inclined state, the first moving body X passes through the communication space P formed between the adjacent support portions 44 and moves to the outer peripheral side of the cover portion 45. Moving.

  Next, the user sets the container 1 in a state where the third opening W3 of the container 1 faces upward as shown in FIG. 5 (hereinafter referred to as a second accommodation state).

  As the container 1 moves from the inclined state to the second accommodation state, the first moving body X is disposed above the first extending wall portion 33 and the second extending wall portion 43.

  Next, the user assumes that the container 1 is turned upside down so that the third opening W3 faces downward as shown in FIG. 6 (hereinafter referred to as a second reverse state). To do.

As the container 1 moves from the second accommodation state to the second reverse state, the first moving body X passes through the inclined space Q formed between the inner cap 20 and the outer cap 50, and then passes through the third space X. It is poured out from the opening W3.
On the other hand, the granular material accommodated inside the container body 10 passes through the inner peripheral side of the inclined wall portion 35 and the cylindrical wall portion 36 of the inner cap 20 and is disposed in the cover portion 45 as described above. The

  In the container 1 configured as described above, in the first reverse state, the second opening W2 is positioned above the first opening W1 (in the first accommodation state, the second rear opening W2 is the first opening W1. Is located below). Therefore, even if an external force such as vibration is applied to the container 1 in this state, the movement of the first moving body X is restricted by the upper part of the cover part 45, so that it does not spill from the cover part 45. Therefore, a predetermined amount of granular material can be accurately poured out from the 3rd opening W3 because a user makes a 2nd accommodation state and a 2nd reverse state via an inclination state.

  Further, in the second accommodation state, the first moving body X is disposed above the first extending wall portion 33 and the second extending wall portion 43. In this state, even if the outer cap 50 is removed and an external force is applied to the container main body 10, the first extending wall portion 33 and the second extending wall portion 43 of the first moving body X extend from the end portions to the outer peripheral side. The movement is prevented by the first outer edge wall portion 32 and the second outer edge wall portion 42. Therefore, the first moving body X does not spill from the inner cap 20.

  Specifically, when the user adds a granular material in the container main body 10 when the remaining amount of the granular material in the container main body 10 decreases, the first extending wall portion 33 and the second extending portion are used. The inner cap 20 is removed in a state where the granular material remains on the wall 43. And when a user adds a granular material in the container main body 10, and attaches the inner cap 20 again, a granular material spills from the 1st extension wall part 33 and the 2nd extension wall part 43 of the inner cap 20. There is nothing to do.

  Moreover, since the cover part 45 is formed so as to go to the inner peripheral side from the lower side toward the upper side, the space volume inside the cover part 45 is reduced. Therefore, since the quantity of the 1st mobile body X arrange | positioned by this cover part 45 can be restrained, a small amount of granular material can be correctly poured out from the 3rd opening part W3.

  Further, the operation procedure shown in the above-described embodiment, or the shapes and combinations of the constituent members are examples, and various changes can be made based on design requirements and the like without departing from the gist of the present invention.

  For example, in the present embodiment, the support portion 44 that supports the cover portion 45 is provided on the inner cap 20, but may be provided on the outer cap 50. In this case, the cover portion 45 is supported by the outer cap 50 via the support portion 44.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the inner cap 20 is configured as an integral body by assembling the first cap 30 and the second cap 40, but the first cap 30 and the second cap 40 are originally formed by integral molding. It may be.

  Moreover, in this embodiment, the accommodating part 2 is the container main body 10, the 1st mounting part 31, the 2nd mounting part 41 of the inner cap 20, the outer edge wall part 4, the extension wall part 3, and the standing wall part. However, the container 2 may be formed integrally with the container body 10 and the first cap 30 (not shown). Even in this case, it is possible to accurately pour out a predetermined amount of powder particles from the third opening W3, and it is possible to reduce the number of parts constituting the container 1, thereby facilitating parts management. .

  In the present embodiment, the first opening W1 is formed so as to have a smaller opening area in plan view than the main opening W0 of the container body 10. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the main opening is the first opening. It may be configured as part W1. That is, the second opening W2 is formed so as to cover the first opening W1 (main opening) of the container body so that the opening area in plan view is larger than the first opening W1, and the first The cover portion may be configured such that the extending wall portion is provided on the outer peripheral side of the opening W1. Even in this case, it is possible to accurately dispense a predetermined amount of the granular material from the third opening W3.
