Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a container with a cap.
[0002]
[Prior art]
As a container with a cap for detergents, etc., it has a main body cap that is attached to the main body of the container and a measuring cap that is screwed to the main body cap. Some of them are provided with a liquid return part at the bottom part.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
After the liquid poured out from the dispensing tube of the main body cap is weighed with the measuring cap, the measuring cap is screwed onto the main body cap with the liquid adhered to the inner surface. The liquid adhering to the inner surface of the measuring cap continues to remain on the inner surface of the measuring cap, or remains near the boundary with the liquid reservoir of the main body cap. For this reason, at the next use, liquid drips from the inner surface of the measuring cap or the liquid reservoir of the main body cap, and the surroundings are soiled.
[0004]
An object of the present invention is to avoid the dripping of liquid from the inner surface of the measuring cap or the liquid reservoir of the main body cap.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The present invention described in claim 1 has a main body cap that is attached to the container main body and a measuring cap that is screwed to the main body cap, and a pour cylinder is provided at the bottom of the liquid reservoir portion of the main body cap. is lifted and, a capped container made comprises a liquid return unit to said bottom, the outer surface of the pouring cylinder, it is provided with scraping portions which adhere liquid scraping of the inner surface of the metering cap, the scraping portion liquid The metering cap is provided adjacent to the edge of the liquid return portion located in front of the screw cap advance direction to the main body cap when viewed from the return portion .

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
(First embodiment)
1 and 2 show a case where a cap 20 is attached to the mouth portion 12 of the container main body 11 of the container 10, and the cap 20 is composed of a combination of a main body cap 21 and a measuring cap 31.
[0007]
As shown in FIG. 1, the threaded portion 31 </ b> A of the measuring cap 31 is screwed onto the outer periphery of the outer cylindrical portion 22, which is driven, screwed, and screwed into the mouth portion 12 of the container body 11. In addition to the threaded portion 21 </ b> A, an inner tube portion 23 that is continuous with the inner periphery of the outer tube portion 22 is provided, and a liquid pool portion 24 is formed inside the outer tube portion 22 and the inner tube portion 23. The main body cap 21 starts up a C-shaped cross-sectional pour tube 27 along the edge of the opening 26 provided in the inclined bottom 25 of the liquid reservoir 24, and a C-shaped cut end of the pour tube 27 serves as a slit 27A. . The liquid return part 26A is a slit that is provided at the lowermost part of the bottom part 25 of the liquid reservoir part 24 and is continuous with the opening 26 and the slit 27A. The slits 26 </ b> A and 27 </ b> A of the main body cap 21 constitute the liquid return portion of the present invention, and the liquid that hangs down from the edge of the pouring cylinder 27 after being poured out from the pouring cylinder 27 and is received by the liquid reservoir 24. A passage returning to the main body 11 is formed. The liquid return part may be a hole provided in the lowermost part of the bottom part 25 of the liquid reservoir part 24.
[0008]
The main body cap 21 has a strip-shaped scraping portion 28 that can be close to or slidably contacted with the inner surface of the measuring portion 32 so as to scrape off the adhering liquid on the inner surface of the measuring portion 32 of the measuring cap 31. Is provided. During the rotational movement in which the measuring cap 31 is screwed onto the main body cap 21, the scraping part 28 of the main body cap 21 scrapes off the adhering liquid on the inner surface of the measuring part 32. A plurality of scraping portions 28 may be provided in the circumferential direction of the dispensing cylinder 27, but in the present embodiment, only one scraping portion 28 is provided and the inner surface of the measuring portion 32 is attached by screwing the measuring cap 31 to the slits 26A and 27A. The liquid is scraped off and provided at a position where it can flow into the slit 26A. Further, although the scraping portion 28 of the present embodiment is raised from the bottom portion 25 of the liquid reservoir portion 24, the scraping portion 28 may open a liquid passage space between the bottom portion 25 and the scraping portion 28.
[0009]
The measuring cap 31 includes the aforementioned threaded portion 31 </ b> A in the outer cylindrical portion 33 continuous to the outer peripheral intermediate portion of the measuring portion 32, and seals the container main body 11 while being screwed to the main body cap 21. In the removed state, the internal solution in the container body 11 poured out from the dispensing cylinder 27 of the main body cap 21 is received and can be measured.
[0010]
Therefore, according to the present embodiment, there are the following operations.
(1) When the measuring cap 31 after use is rotationally moved in the direction A in FIG. 2 so as to be screwed onto the main body cap 21, the scraping portion 28 provided on the outer surface of the dispensing cylinder 27 of the main body cap 21 The adhesion liquid on the inner surface of the measuring cap 31 is scraped off. Thereby, the liquid adhering to the inner surface of the measuring cap 31 is fluidized and flows from the inner surface of the measuring cap 31 to the liquid reservoir 24 of the main body cap 21, and as a result, the slit 26 </ b> A of the bottom 25 of the liquid reservoir 24, It returns to the container main body 11 from 27A (liquid return part). Therefore, no liquid remains in the inner surface of the measuring cap 31 or in the liquid reservoir 24 of the main body cap 21, and the dripping of the liquid at the next use can be avoided.
[0011]
(2) The scraping portion 28 provided on the dispensing tube 27 is scraped off by the scraping portion 28 by being provided in front of the slit 26A, 27A (liquid return portion) in the screw advance direction of the measuring cap 31. Thus, the fluid fluidized can be reliably passed through the slits 26A and 27A through a short path.
[0012]
(Second Embodiment)
The second embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that a measuring line display protrusion 34 is provided on the inner surface of the measuring portion 32 of the measuring cap 31 so that the scraping portion 28 of the main body cap 21 can be elastically deformed. Be prepared. One protrusion 34 may be provided on the inner surface of the measuring unit 32, but a plurality of protrusions 34 are provided on the inner surface of the measuring unit 32 at intervals in the circumferential direction, and their heights from the bottom surface of the measuring unit 32 are different from each other. The liquid amount may be displayed according to their height.
[0013]
Therefore, according to the present embodiment, there are the following operations.
(1) At the final stage of screwing the measuring cap 31 onto the main body cap 21, the protrusion 34 on the inner surface of the measuring cap 31 gets over the scraping portion 28 of the main body cap 21, thereby obtaining a moderation feeling of the cap closing operation. At the same time, the fluid trapped in the scraping portion 28 can be shaken off to promote fluidization. In addition, it also prevents the cap from being loosened.
[0014]
(2) As the protrusion 34 on the inner surface of the measuring cap 31, a linear protrusion for measuring line display can be used. However, the protrusion 34 does not need to be used for displaying the measurement line, and is short or dotted at any position in the height direction without forming a long shape along the height direction of the measurement unit 32. It may be provided.
[0015]
In the present invention, the scraping part may be formed integrally with the dispensing cylinder or mounted with a separate part.
[0016]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to avoid dripping of the liquid from the inner surface of the measuring cap or the liquid reservoir of the main body cap.
