The conventional configuration has the following problems.
First, the above-mentioned conventional product is made of a metal such as tinplate so that the container body 101 and the lid 105 do not allow moisture or light to pass through so that the powdery body such as powdered tea absorbs moisture and is not easily discolored. Yes. In addition, since the edges of the container body 101 and the lid body 105 are formed by bending by pressing or the like, a thin plate having a thickness of about 0.2 to 0.4 mm is used. In the case of manufacturing with such a thin tin plate, the first outlet hole 107 and the second outlet hole 109 are punched with a press, so that the edge becomes a sharp edge, which is inadvertently pointed by a user, particularly an infant. Touching it could cause injury.

  Further, in order for the user to communicate the first and second ejection holes 107 and 109, it is necessary to rotate the lid 105 with respect to the container body 101 so that the first and second ejection holes 107 and 109 are aligned. However, in the conventional product, there is no structure for aligning the first swing-out hole 107 and the second swing-out hole 109, and it has to be performed with a glance.

  Further, in such a sprinkling container, there is a tendency that the powder particles tend to be wet, and if a ball-like mass called “dama” is formed, it may be difficult to sprinkle a desired amount of the powder particles.

  The present invention has been made on the basis of the above points. The purpose of the present invention is to improve the safety of the dispensing hole, to easily and reliably position the dispensing hole, and to easily produce a desired amount of powder particles. Another object of the present invention is to provide a dispensing container that can be reliably shaken out.

  In order to achieve the above object, a swing container according to claim 1 of the present invention is made of a bottomed cylindrical metal container body having an opening edge at the upper end and a synthetic resin detachably attached to the opening edge of the container body. A lid body, and the lid body includes an inner lid that is detachably locked to the opening edge of the container body, and an outer lid that is rotatably fitted to the outer surface of the inner lid. A first swing-out hole is formed in the side wall of the lid, and a second swing-out hole is formed in the side wall of the outer lid and communicated by rotating the outer lid to a position that matches the first swing-out hole. It is what.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided the swing container according to the first aspect, wherein a locking portion is formed on the inner surface of the outer side wall of the outer lid, and the first outlet hole and the second outlet hole match the outer surface of the inner side wall of the inner lid. A first locked portion that locks with the locking portion is formed at a position where the locking is performed.

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, there is provided the dispensing container according to the first or second aspect, wherein a third dispensing hole smaller than the first dispensing hole is provided on the side wall of the inner lid. .

  According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in the dispensing container according to the third aspect, the engaging portion is formed on the inner surface of the side wall of the outer lid, and the first outlet hole and the second outlet hole are aligned with the outer surface of the inner side wall of the inner lid. A first locked portion that locks with the locking portion is formed at a position where the third locking hole and the second swinging hole are aligned with the outer surface of the side wall of the inner lid. A second locked portion is formed.

  According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, in the dispensing container according to any one of the first to fourth aspects, a slit is formed in the first dispensing hole.

  According to the dispensing container according to the present invention, the lid body is made of a synthetic resin and has a double structure of an inner lid and an outer lid, and the edges of the second ejection hole and the first ejection hole are formed thick. Even if it touches with a finger etc., there is no fear of injury and safety can be improved.

  Also, a locking portion is formed on the inner surface of the side wall of the outer lid, and a first locked portion that locks with the locking portion at a position where the first swinging hole and the second swinging hole are aligned with the outer surface of the side wall of the inner lid. When the outer lid is rotated with respect to the inner lid and the first and second outlet holes are aligned, the first locked portion is locked to the locking portion. Since it clicks at a fixed position, the first and second outlet holes can be communicated easily and reliably.

  In addition, when the third outlet hole smaller than the first outlet hole is provided on the side wall of the inner lid, the size of the outlet hole can be selected, and the degree of opening can be adjusted. Therefore, it becomes possible to sprinkle out an appropriate amount of powder.

  Also, a locking portion is formed on the inner surface of the side wall of the outer lid, and a first locked portion that locks with the locking portion at a position where the first swinging hole and the second swinging hole are aligned with the outer surface of the side wall of the inner lid. Is formed, and the second locked portion that locks with the locking portion is formed on the outer surface of the side wall of the inner lid at a position where the third swinging hole and the second swinging hole match each other. When the swing hole and the second swing hole or the first swing hole and the third swing hole are aligned, the locking portion and the first locked portion or the locking portion and the second locked portion are locked and fixed. Since the click stops at the position, the communication between the first swing-out hole and the second swing-out hole or the first swing-out hole and the third swing-out hole can be easily and reliably performed.

  In addition, when a slit is formed in the first outlet hole, it can be used more safely because an infant or the like does not touch the end of the outlet hole or pierce a finger. Since the peripheral portion of the slit can pulverize the “dama” and return it to a small granular material during the dispensing, an appropriate amount of the granular material can be dispensed.
