DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a weighing tool used for measuring weighed substances such as powdery substances and granular substances.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, a measuring spoon is used for measuring powdery substances such as seasonings and pharmaceuticals. In this measuring spoon, the capacity of the measuring section provided at the tip of the handle is known, and when measuring the volume of a powdery substance, after scooping the powdery substance into the measuring section, Then, the excess powdery material that has risen is removed by abrasion bars.

[0003] In particular, when weighing infant formula, it is measured using a measuring spoon (for example, a capacity of 20 ml) attached to the purchased infant formula. Until nine months after birth, 3 to 12 cups will be weighed with the measuring spoon, but it is cumbersome. Therefore, a large measuring spoon 30 (capacity 100 ml) having a shape similar to a ladle as shown in FIG. 16 has been proposed. The measuring section 31 of the large measuring spoon 30 has a bottomed cylindrical shape, and its storage capacity is one cup of the cutting spoon, corresponding to 5 cups of the measuring spoon.

[0004]

However, the capacity of the measuring spoon attached to the milk powder differs depending on the manufacturer of the milk powder, and is roughly classified into two types. Therefore, when drinking milk powder from two different manufacturers or changing manufacturers, two types of large measuring spoons 30 having different capacities may be required, which is inconvenient.

[0005] The large measuring spoon 30 is for transferring the milk powder to a baby bottle after scooping and grinding the milk powder. When the milk powder is put through the mouth, the milk powder is easily spilled, so it is difficult to widen the opening of the measuring section 31. Therefore, in order to make the capacity equivalent to the amount of 5 cups of the measuring spoon with one cup of the large measuring spoon 30, the measuring unit 31 is required.
(That is, the measuring section 31 is elongated). However, when the milk powder is scooped with the large measuring spoon 30 having a large depth, even if it is attempted to scoop the whole amount at one time, a predetermined amount cannot often be scooped due to a cavity therein. Therefore, the cavities are eliminated by vibrating the weighing unit 31 by hitting it against another object, but in this case, the milk powder is clogged in the weighing object 31 to increase the density. Therefore, the capacity of the large measuring spoon 30 is increased. It is also conceivable to divide and scoop several times, but the milk powder first scooped is clogged in the measuring section 31 and the density increases, and in this case,
The capacity of the large measuring spoon 30 is increased.

The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and it is easy to accurately measure a substance such as a powdery substance or a granular substance, and it is convenient to measure a plurality of types of volumes. Its purpose is to provide tools.

FIGS. 1 to 11 show an embodiment of the weighing device of the present invention. The measuring tool of this embodiment is:
For measuring powdered milk, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2,
The handle 1 has a spoon shape, and includes a handle portion 1, a measuring portion 2 at a tip portion thereof, and a sliding portion 4 slidable along the longitudinal direction of the handle portion 1. A discharge unit 5 is provided at 4. And the material of these components is a polypropylene resin.

As shown in FIG. 3, the handle 1 is in the shape of a long plate having a substantially rectangular shape in a plan view, and reinforcing flanges 6 are provided on both sides of the handle 1 from the front and back surfaces of the handle 1. They are formed to project vertically. In addition, handle 1
Through holes 7a and 7b penetrating from the front surface to the back surface of the handle 1 are formed at the front end portion and the rear end portion. Of these two through holes 7a and 7b, the through hole 7a at the tip is
This is for preventing the powdered milk, which is the weighing substance, from collecting, and the through-hole 7b at the rear end portion is for suspending the weighing tool.

A frame 3 is connected to the tip of the handle 1. As shown in FIG. 3, the frame portion 3 is an elastic body having a substantially elliptical shape in a plan view, and has an opening surface formed by being surrounded by the frame member 3a. The frame 3 and the handle 1
Means that the major axis of the frame 3 is orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the handle 1. Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the thickness of the frame member 3 a constituting the frame body portion 3 is equal to the thickness of the flange 6 at a portion connected to the handle portion 1, and gradually increases toward the tip. As shown in FIG. 5, concave portions 8 are formed along the inner peripheral surface of the frame body portion 3 at portions of the inner peripheral surface of the frame body portion 3 facing each other along the long axis. The formation height position of each of the concave streaks 8 is about 1 mm below the height center of the frame member 3a.

The measuring section 2 includes a measuring container 2a. As shown in FIG. 6, this measuring container 2a has a semi-deformed spherical surface having a substantially elliptical opening, such as a half of a deformed spherical body obtained by deforming a spherical body into a substantially elliptical shape in plan view. It is an elastic body. The outer peripheral surface of the opening has a shape and a size that comes into contact with the inner peripheral surface of the frame 3, and is located at a position corresponding to the concave 8 (see FIG. 5). Is formed.

As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the sliding section 4 has a dome shape having a substantially elliptical opening slightly larger than the opening of the frame 3 (see FIG. 3). It is formed on a lid that fits into the frame 3 and covers the upper opening of the frame 3. At the rear end of the sliding part 4,
The stopper portion 10 that can abut the rear end portion of the frame body portion 3
It is formed so as to project below the opening surface of the sliding portion 4. Then, the opening surface of the sliding portion 4 is formed by the frame body portion 3.
Is located at the same height position as the handle portion 1 (see FIG. 3) side of the upper opening surface.

The discharge section 5 is formed symmetrically along the major axis of the opening of the sliding section 4 so that the sliding section 4 is located above the opening of the frame 3. In the state where it is located, it communicates with the opening of the frame body 3.
The opening end of the discharge portion 5 projects outward from the outer peripheral edge of the frame body portion 3, and the opening at the opening end has a substantially semi-elliptical shape.

Further, a slide portion 11 is continuously provided from the outer surface of the rear end portion of the sliding portion 4 in order to simplify sliding along the longitudinal direction of the handle portion 1. The slide portion 11 is a member which is parallel to the opening surface of the sliding portion 4 and is long in a direction orthogonal to its long axis, and has a substantially U-shaped cross section perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. Opening is downward. An enclosing portion 11a surrounding the flange 6 of the handle portion 1 is provided at a tip portion (sliding portion 4 side) of the sliding portion 11, and the sliding portion 11 is provided at a lower end of the enclosing portion 11a. Locking piece 11 so that it does not come off
c is formed, and at the rear end portion of the slide portion 11,
A protrusion 11b for hanging a finger is formed to protrude upward. Further, the slide portion 11 is detachable from the rear end of the handle portion 1 and can be attached to the front side or the back side of the handle portion 1.

In the above configuration, when the powdered milk is measured, the following is performed. That is, first, by sliding the slide portion 11 backward, the sliding portion 4 is positioned behind the measuring portion 2 as shown in FIG. Then, in this state, the milk powder is scooped into the measuring section 2. Next, while the slide portion 11 is slid forward, the excess powdered milk that has risen from the measuring portion 2 at the front portion of the sliding portion 4 is scraped off and removed. Finally, as shown in FIG. 1, the sliding section 4 is positioned above the measuring section 2, and the slide section 11 is slid forward until it is fitted to the frame body section 3, thereby rising from the measuring section 2. Thoroughly remove excess milk powder. In this way, the measurement of the powdered milk is completed. This state is shown in FIG. 9 and FIG.

After the weighing of the milk powder is completed, the milk powder is transferred to a baby bottle. In this case, do as follows. That is, first, the lower end of the projecting portion of the discharge section 5 is brought into contact with the upper end of the opening edge of the baby bottle. Then, by slightly bending the wrist of the hand holding the measuring tool,
The powdered milk is placed in a baby bottle with the opening at the open end facing downward. By doing so, the powdered milk can be transferred to the baby bottle.

When the volume to be measured becomes another volume, for example, by changing to powdered milk from a different manufacturer, the following is performed. That is, first, the ridge 9 of the weighing container 2a is pulled out of the concave streak 8 of the frame portion 3 to remove the weighing container 2a from the frame portion 3. At the same time, the sliding section 11 is slid in the rear end direction, so that the sliding section 4 is removed from the handle section 1. Then, the handle 1 is turned upside down. As a result, the front and back of the frame portion 3 are also turned upside down, and the formation height position of the concave streak 8 of the frame portion 3 moves upward by about 1 mm from the height center of the frame portion 3. Next, the measuring container 2a is attached to the frame 3 again by fitting the ridge 9 into the concave ridge 8 of the frame 3 with the opening thereof facing upward. At the same time, the slide portion 11 is attached to the handle portion 1 again from its rear end with the slide-out portion 4 facing forward and the protrusion 11b facing upward. The measurement of the milk powder and the transfer to the baby bottle are the same as those described above. In this case, the state where the measurement of the powdered milk is completed is shown in FIG.
Shown in

As described above, according to the weighing tool of this embodiment, the height of the concave streaks 8 of the frame 3 is shifted from the center of the height of the frame 3a constituting the frame 3. Therefore, by turning the front and back of the handle portion 1 upside down, the formation height position of the concave streak 8 moves. Further, the slide portion 11 having the sliding portion 4 is detachable from the rear end of the handle portion 1, and
It can be attached to the front side and the back side of the handle 1. For this reason, two different capacities can be measured with one type of measuring container 2a.

Further, a discharge portion 5 is formed in the sliding portion 4 and communicates with the opening of the frame portion 3 when the sliding portion 4 is positioned above the opening of the frame portion 3. Therefore, it is easy to put the powdered milk into the baby bottle. Thereby, the opening of the frame 3 and the measuring container 2a can be widened, and accordingly, the depth of the measuring container 2a can be reduced. Therefore, it is possible to scoop a sufficient amount of the milk powder into the measuring container 2a and the frame 3 only by scooping the milk powder once. Further, the handle portion 1 is provided with a sliding portion 4, and the thickness of the frame member 3a constituting the frame portion 3 is equal to the thickness of the flange 6 at the portion connected to the handle portion 1, and is provided at the tip. It becomes gradually bigger as it goes. Therefore, when the sliding portion 4 is slid along the longitudinal direction of the handle portion 1,
The lower end of the sliding portion 4 presses the upper surface of the frame portion 3 so that the surplus weighing material rising from the weighing container 2a and the frame portion 3 is scraped off. As a result, the surplus weighing material is surely cut off and accurate weighing can be easily performed.

The discharge portion 5 has an open end protruding outward from the outer peripheral edge of the frame portion 3. For this reason, by making the lower end of the protruding portion abut on the upper end of the opening edge of the baby bottle, it becomes easier to align the discharge portion 5 with the upper end of the opening edge of the feeding bottle, and the milk powder does not scatter. Also,
The discharge portion 5 extends along the long axis of the opening of the sliding portion 4, that is, substantially perpendicular to the sliding direction of the sliding portion 4,
Since it is formed, the powdered milk can be put into the baby bottle with the opening at the open end of the discharge portion 5 facing downward simply by slightly bending the wrist of the hand holding the measuring tool. In addition, since two discharge parts 5 are formed symmetrically, if one of the discharge parts 5 discharges the milk powder, the other discharge part 5 becomes an air inlet, and the discharge of the milk powder becomes fluent. .

Further, the sliding portion 4 is formed on a lid that fits into the frame 3 and covers the upper opening of the frame 3. For this reason, the contact portion between the cut-out portion 4 and the frame body portion 3 comes into close contact, and the milk powder can be easily transferred to the baby bottle without spilling from portions other than the discharge portion 5. Further, a stopper 10 that can abut the rear end portion of the frame body portion 3 is formed at the rear end portion of the sliding portion 4 so as to protrude below the opening of the sliding portion 4. For this reason, when the cutting is completed, the cutting portion 4 is prevented from sliding forward any more.

Since the handle 1 has a through hole 7a at the tip end thereof, the powdered milk is supplied through the through hole 7a when the powdered milk is scooped or weighed.
Powder milk does not accumulate at the tip of the handle 1.

The shape of the tip of the measuring part 2 is not a flat shape perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the measuring tool, but the tip is a convex shape, so that the measuring part 2 can easily penetrate into the milk powder.
As a result, it is easy to scoop the powdered milk.

Since the slide portion 11 is formed with a protrusion 11b projecting upward, the finger is
b, so that the slide portion 11 can be easily slid.

FIGS. 12 and 13 show modified examples of the frame 3. The frame 3 shown in FIG. 12 is formed with two pairs of concave streaks 8 having different formation height positions. Other parts are the same as those in the above embodiment, and the same parts are denoted by the same reference numerals.

According to the measuring tool having the frame portion 3,
The measuring container 2a (see FIG. 6) can be mounted at different heights without turning the handle 1 upside down.
That is, the handle portion 1 is turned upside down,
(See FIGS. 7 and 8) without removing from the handle 1.
Two different capacities can be measured with one type of measuring container 2a.

On the other hand, the frame 3 shown in FIG. 13 is rotatable about a central axis along the longitudinal direction of the handle 1. For this purpose, a rotating shaft 12 that coincides with the central axis is protruded from the rear end of the frame 3, and a bearing hole 13 for the central shaft is formed at the tip of the handle 1. Other parts are the same as those in the above embodiment, and the same parts are denoted by the same reference numerals.

According to the measuring tool having the frame portion 3,
By inverting the front and back of the frame portion 3, the measuring container 2a

The two different capacities can be weighed by one kind of weighing container 2a without removing the caps from the container.

FIG. 14 shows a modification of the measuring section 2. The weighing unit 14 includes a weighing container 14a having substantially the same shape as the weighing container 2a in the above-described embodiment, and an engaging protrusion 14b protruding from a rear end of the weighing container 14a. Along with this, an engaged concave portion 15 that engages with the engaging convex portion 14b is formed at the distal end portion of the handle portion 1. The engaging projection 14b and the engaged recess 15 are detachable. Further, the measuring container 14a includes:
There are two types with different capacities, and the respective capacities correspond to the respective capacities of the two types measured in the above embodiment. Other configurations are the same as in the above embodiment.

According to the measuring tool having the measuring section 14, two kinds of capacities can be measured by exchanging the measuring container 14a.

FIG. 15 shows another embodiment of the measuring instrument of the present invention. In the weighing tool of this embodiment, a frame 16 is continuously provided at the tip of the handle 1. On the inner peripheral surface of the frame portion 16, a concave portion 18 is formed at a portion facing the longitudinal direction of the handle portion 1, and a circular hole 19 is formed at a portion facing the direction orthogonal to the direction. . The formation height positions of these concave portions 18 and round holes 19 are as follows.
It is shifted from the height center of the frame member 16a constituting the frame body portion 16. In the upper part of the outer surface of the measuring container 17, projections 20 to be engaged with the recesses 18 are protruded at positions corresponding to the recesses 18, and these round holes 19 are provided at positions corresponding to the round holes 19. A rotating shaft 21 to be inserted into is provided protrudingly. Other parts are the same as in the above embodiment,
Similar parts are denoted by the same reference numerals.

In this embodiment, when the volume to be measured is another volume, the following is performed. That is, the convex portion 20 is removed from the concave portion 18, the measuring container 17 is rotated by 180 ° about the rotation shaft 21, and the convex portion 20 is again rotated.
Is engaged with the recess 18. At the same time, the sliding section 11 is slid in the rear end direction, so that the sliding section 4 is removed from the handle section 1. After that, it is the same as the above embodiment. Since the height at which the round hole 19 is formed is shifted from the center of the height of the frame portion 16, two different capacities can be measured with one type of measuring container 17 also in this embodiment. Other operations and effects are the same as those in the above embodiment.
