Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a seasoning container including a soy sauce dispenser.

When you want to add a very small amount of soy sauce to a conventional soy sauce jar, you can use the principle of vacuum to stop the airflow inside and outside the container by pressing the ventilation hole at the back with your finger. It is designed to stop the outflow and to be applied drop by drop. However, in the conventional method of holding down the ventilation hole with a finger, the ventilation hole is often arranged at the rear, so the finger has to be unnaturally bent. On the other hand, a soy sauce dispenser that drops a drop of soy sauce when the button on the top of the lid is pressed has a problem that it is difficult to handle a relatively large amount of soy sauce on a small plate.

Therefore, for example, in the soy sauce dispenser of Patent Document 1, an external vent hole is provided near the center of the lid ceiling part, the lid ceiling part is thickened, a vent hole is provided obliquely backward from the external vent hole, and an internal vent hole is provided. A spout is provided at the opposite end to the spout. It is described that by configuring in this way, it is possible to provide a soy sauce dispenser that can be easily operated with a finger and can freely add soy sauce one drop at a time or a relatively large amount.

A lid portion 3 is detachably fitted to the upper end of the container portion 2 . Note that the material, color, and shape of the container part 2 may be of any type.

The lid portion 3 is made of a synthetic resin and is formed into a low-height container-like shape having a rectangular cross section with rounded corners, a rectangular cross section, or a circular cross section (cylindrical). A packing portion 34 is formed in the lower portion of the lid portion 3, and is in close contact with the inner surface of the container portion 2 to prevent the seasoning from leaking.

The lid part 3 has a spout 31 for pouring the seasoning on the upper part of the side surface of the cylindrical main body part 30 . The pouring spout 31 is arranged at an unrelated position so as not to interfere with a pressure adjusting portion (32) or a vent hole (33), which will be described later. That is, the spout 31 communicates with the inside of the lid portion 3 and the container portion 2 .

The lid portion 3 of this embodiment has a pressure adjusting portion 32 capable of adjusting the pressure inside the container portion 2 and a vent hole 33 provided in the pressure adjusting portion 32 . That is, a pressure adjusting portion 32 made of an elastically deformable material such as silicon rubber is fitted in the center of the upper portion of the body portion 30 of the lid portion 3 . The pressure adjusting portion 32 can be recessed by being pressed by a predetermined stroke amount (push amount).

More specifically, the pressure adjusting portion 32 is made of an elastically deformable material such as silicon rubber, and is a main body portion that functions as a packing (maintaining tight contact between the container portion 2 and the lid portion 3). 32a and a film portion 32b formed in a thin film shape near the center. Further near the center of the film portion 32b near the center of the main body portion 32, a vent hole 33, which is a through hole that communicates the inside and the outside of the seasoning container 1, is formed.

As described above, on the upper surface (top surface) of the lid portion 3, the pressure adjusting portion 32 is formed at a position that is easy to press with a finger, and the vent hole 33 is formed at a position that is easy to close with a finger. That is, when pressing the pressure adjusting portion 32, the air hole 33 in the center is basically closed. It can then be used in a variety of ways, as shown below.

(how to use)
Here, a method of using the seasoning container 1 of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 3(a) to 3(c). The seasoning container 1 of this embodiment can be easily used in the following three modes.

"One drop":
As shown in FIG. 3( a ), a single drop can be inserted by pressing the pressure adjustment part 32 weakly while closing the ventilation hole 33 with a finger. In this state, the ventilation hole 33 is closed, and when the entire seasoning container 1 is tilted, the inside becomes a vacuum state. Therefore, the amount of seasoning corresponding to the amount of pressing the pressure adjusting portion 32 is discharged from the spout 31 .

"Small amount":
As shown in FIG. 3(b), a small amount can be inserted by pressing the pressure adjusting portion 32 strongly while blocking the ventilation hole 33 with a finger. In this state, the ventilation hole 33 is closed, and when the entire seasoning container 1 is tilted, the inside becomes a vacuum state. Therefore, the amount of seasoning corresponding to the amount of pressing the pressure adjusting portion 32 is discharged from the spout 31 .

"Continuous insertion":
As shown in FIG. 3(c), continuous feeding can be performed by tilting the entire seasoning container 1 without blocking the ventilation hole 33 with a finger (without pressing the pressure adjustment part 32 strongly). . In this state, the ventilation hole 33 is open and the inside is in an atmospheric pressure state. Therefore, the seasoning is discharged from the spout 31 by tilting the seasoning container 1 as a whole.

A seasoning container 1 comprising a lid portion 3 having a mouth 31, wherein the lid portion 3 is provided in a pressure adjustment portion 32 capable of adjusting the pressure inside the container portion 2, and the pressure adjustment portion 32 and a vent hole 33 . With such a configuration, by appropriately using both the pressure adjusting portion 32 and the vent hole 33, the amount of seasoning to be added can be freely finely adjusted. In other words, it is possible to easily distinguish between one-drop, small-volume, and continuous dispensing.

(2) In addition, since the pressure adjusting portion 32 is made of an elastically deformable material in a film shape, it is easy to press with a finger and can be used many times. Here, since the pressure adjusting portion 32 can be recessed by a predetermined pressing amount (stroke), the discharge amount can be adjusted by the pressing amount. That is, it is not only ON/OFF switching. That is, when pushed a little, one drop can be inserted, and when pushed to the end, a fixed amount such as one teaspoon or ○○ cc can be discharged with one push.

(3) Further, it is preferable that the valve mechanism 4 is further mounted in the air hole 33 . For example, it may be a flap-like valve mechanism 4A as shown in FIG. 4(a), a mechanical valve 4B as shown in FIG. 4(b), or a mechanical valve 4B as shown in FIG. 4(c). It may also be a resin plate valve.

(4) Further, the pressure adjusting portion 32 formed in a film shape is arranged on the upper surface of the lid portion 3, and the vent hole 33 is arranged near the center of the pressure adjusting portion 32, thereby Since the vent hole 33 is always closed when the button 32 is pressed, the operation is facilitated.
