Description
本発明は、例えば調味料等の粉状物、粒状物等を収容する容器本体を開閉可能に塞ぐ振出装置に関する。 The present invention relates to an oscillating device that closes a container main body that accommodates a powdery substance such as a seasoning, a granular substance, and the like so as to be opened and closed.
一般的な振出装置において、その開閉操作を片手で行えるものには、俗にヒンジキャップと言われる、キャップ本体と蓋が薄肉部で連結された一体成形品や、複数部品から構成され、梃子やリンク機構を利用してこれら部品のうち蓋を開閉させるものがある。これらはいずれも周知であって、蓋の開閉方向が一方向となっている。 In a general swing device, the one that can be opened and closed with one hand is commonly called a hinge cap, which is an integrally molded product in which a cap body and a lid are connected by a thin part, or a plurality of parts. Some of these parts use a link mechanism to open and close the lid. These are all well-known, and the opening / closing direction of the lid is one direction.
また、今回の特許出願に際して調査したところ、複数方向へ開閉可能な振出装置が公知となっていた（特許文献１、２）。これらは、容器本体の口部に連結する下側の固定キャップと、固定キャップに対して平面視して前後左右方向又は任意方向に摺動可能な上側の可動キャップとを備えるものである。そして、容器本体の内容物を固定キャップの内部空間を経て外部に吐出する振出口を固定キャップに平面視して前後左右に有し、全ての振出口を塞いでいる平常状態では固定キャップの摺動面と可動キャップの半球面状の摺動面により一部が重なり合いながら全体として略球面状の摺動面が形成されるものである。 Further, as a result of investigation upon the filing of this patent application, a swinging device that can be opened and closed in a plurality of directions has been known (Patent Documents 1 and 2). These include a lower fixed cap connected to the mouth portion of the container body, and an upper movable cap that can slide in the front-rear and left-right directions or in an arbitrary direction when viewed from the top. In the normal state in which the outlets for discharging the contents of the container main body to the outside through the inner space of the fixing cap have front and rear, right and left in plan view, and all the outlets are blocked, A substantially spherical sliding surface is formed as a whole while a part of the moving surface and the hemispherical sliding surface of the movable cap overlap each other.
ところが、前述した周知の振出装置においては、蓋の開閉方向が一方向に決まっており、通常は、親指で蓋の側面の特定部分（以下、「側面操作部分」という。）を操作するように作られている。しかしながら、料理中に調味料を振り掛ける場合、蓋の側面操作部分を確認して容器を取り上げることは、通常、ない。大概は、無意識のうちに側面操作部分がある場所を想定しながら、瞬時に容器を取り上げるのである。取り上げたときに、親指の位置が側面操作部分に一致していたら良いが、必ずしもそうなるとは限らず、親指の位置が側面操作部分からずれていたら容器を持ち直さなければならなかった。急いで料理をすればするほど、容器を取り上げた際に、親指の位置と側面操作部とは一致しないものである。その上、容器から内容物を吐出させた後、つまり使用後には、振出口を閉めるという蓋の操作が不可欠であった。 However, in the known swinging device described above, the opening / closing direction of the lid is determined in one direction, and usually a specific part on the side surface of the lid (hereinafter referred to as “side operation portion”) is operated with the thumb. It is made. However, when sprinkling seasonings during cooking, it is usually not necessary to check the side operation part of the lid and pick up the container. In general, the container is picked up instantaneously while assuming a place where there is a side operation part unconsciously. When picked up, the position of the thumb should coincide with the side operation part, but this is not necessarily the case. If the position of the thumb deviates from the side operation part, the container had to be held again. The quicker the food is cooked, the more the position of the thumb does not match the side operation part when the container is picked up. In addition, after discharging the contents from the container, that is, after use, it is indispensable to operate the lid to close the shake outlet.
また、前述した特許文献１においては、可動キャップの開閉方向が前後左右に決められている。従って、可動キャップを開く操作方向が前後方向に一致していないと、可動キャップの操作方向が強制的に前後方向に変更されたり、可動キャップが動かなかったりすることがありうる。その上、使用後には振出口を閉める操作が必要である。 Moreover, in patent document 1 mentioned above, the opening / closing direction of a movable cap is decided to front and rear, right and left. Therefore, if the operation direction for opening the movable cap does not coincide with the front-rear direction, the operation direction of the movable cap may be forcibly changed to the front-rear direction, or the movable cap may not move. In addition, it is necessary to close the shaker after use.
さらに、前述した特許文献２においては、可動キャップの開閉方向が任意である上に、可動キャップを自動的に閉鎖させる機構として、ゴム状のリングが固定キャップの外側に嵌め込まれている。これは、可動キャップを操作して摺動させるとリングが変形し、その操作を解除するとリングの復元力によって自動的に可動キャップが元に戻るものである。しかしながら、リングが目視可能であるので、その体裁が悪く、商品価値が低いものである。 Furthermore, in Patent Document 2 described above, the opening and closing direction of the movable cap is arbitrary, and a rubber-like ring is fitted outside the fixed cap as a mechanism for automatically closing the movable cap. In this case, when the movable cap is operated and slid, the ring is deformed, and when the operation is released, the movable cap is automatically restored by the restoring force of the ring. However, since the ring is visible, its appearance is poor and its commercial value is low.
本発明は上記実情を考慮して創作されたもので、その目的は、操作部の操作方向を全方向とすること、自動的に振出口を閉鎖させること、振出口を自動的に閉鎖させる機構が外側に露出しない体裁の良いものであることの、３条件を兼備する振出装置を提供することである。 The present invention was created in view of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to set the operation direction of the operation unit to all directions, to automatically close the swing outlet, and to automatically close the swing outlet. It is to provide an oscillating device that satisfies the three conditions that the appearance is not exposed to the outside.

As an example of how to provide the legs, there is the invention of claim 4 . That is, the shape of each leg hangs down in a spiral shape that spreads toward the end.
振出口の形状は問わない。製造のし易さを考慮して、振出口の形状を設計すると、次のようにすることが望ましい。例えば、請求項５の発明のように、可動キャップはプラスチック射出成形品であり、専用の振出口を可動キャップに対して平面視して円周方向にそれぞれ間隔をあけて設け、側面視した可動キャップを基準とした場合に成形時の型の開閉方向となる上下方向に沿って各振出口を型抜き可能に形成してあることである。
The shape of the outlet is not limited. When designing the shape of the swing outlet in consideration of ease of manufacture, it is desirable to do the following. For example, as in the invention of claim 5 , the movable cap is a plastic injection-molded product, and a dedicated outlet is provided with a space in the circumferential direction in plan view with respect to the movable cap, and movable in side view . When the cap is used as a reference, each of the swing outlets is formed so as to be capable of being punched along the vertical direction that is the opening and closing direction of the mold during molding.

Further, if the shape of the swing outlet is designed in consideration of ease of manufacture, the following may be performed. As in the invention of claim 6, the locking cap is a plastic injection-molded article, provided at a respective interval in the circumferential direction in plan view relative to the fixed cap vibration outlet of different dedicated to the opening portion, the side surface When the fixed cap as viewed is used as a reference, each of the swing outlets is formed so as to be capable of being punched along the vertical direction that is the opening and closing direction of the mold during molding.
本発明は、操作部を平面視何れかの方向に操作した場合には弾性支持部材を傾倒させながら可動キャップを固定キャップに対して摺動させて操作方向と反対側の振出口を開き、操作部への操作を解除した場合には弾性支持部材の復元力によって可動キャップを摺動させて全ての振出口を閉じることができる。従って、振出口をあける場合には可動キャップを平面視して全方向に指で操作できるし、振出口を閉じる場合には指を離せば自動的に可動キャップが閉まる。しかも、操作部が可動キャップの中心部にあるので、容器を取り上げた際に持ち直すことなく、操作部を操作できる。また、弾性支持部材が内部空間に収容されており、外部に露出していないので、外観が良い。なお、容器本体に収容された内容物を、弾性支持部材の通過口、振出口を順次経て外部に吐出することができる。 In the present invention, when the operation unit is operated in any direction in plan view, the movable support is slid with respect to the fixed cap while tilting the elastic support member to open the outlet on the opposite side to the operation direction. When the operation on the part is released, the movable cap can be slid by the restoring force of the elastic support member to close all the swing outlets. Accordingly, when opening the swing outlet, the movable cap can be operated with fingers in all directions in plan view, and when closing the swing outlet, the movable cap is automatically closed when the finger is released. In addition, since the operation unit is in the center of the movable cap, the operation unit can be operated without having to hold it when the container is picked up. Moreover, since the elastic support member is accommodated in the internal space and is not exposed to the outside, the appearance is good. In addition, the contents accommodated in the container main body can be discharged to the outside through the elastic support member through the passage port and the outlet.

図１に示す振出装置１の第一実施形態は、図示しない容器本体の口部に連結する下側の固定キャップ２と、固定キャップ２に対して平面視して全方向に摺動可能な上側の可動キャップ３と、固定キャップ２の内側において可動キャップ３を下から支える弾性支持部材４とを備えているものである。以下、振出装置１の全体構造の概要、固定キャップ２、弾性支持部材４、可動キャップ３の順に説明する。 The first embodiment of the swinging device 1 shown in FIG. 1 includes a lower fixed cap 2 connected to a mouth portion of a container body (not shown), and an upper side slidable in all directions with respect to the fixed cap 2. The movable cap 3 and the elastic support member 4 that supports the movable cap 3 from below inside the fixed cap 2 are provided. Hereinafter, an outline of the entire structure of the swinging device 1, the fixed cap 2, the elastic support member 4, and the movable cap 3 will be described in this order.
振出装置１の全体構造の概要は、次の通りである。中空の球の上部に相当する形状に可動キャップ３が形成されている。また、容器本体の内容物を吐出する振出口３１が可動キャップ３の下部の円周方向全周に亘って等間隔をあけて形成されている。一方、固定キャップ２の上部が、可動キャップ３よりも一回り大きな中空の球の上端部と下端部を切除した形状に形成されている。固定キャップ２は中空であるので内部空間２１を有している。また、固定キャップ２の上面には内部空間２１に通じる開口部２２が形成されている。開口部２２の内側に可動キャップ３の下部が収容されており、一方、可動キャップ３の上部表面が外部に露出している。固定キャップ２の内部空間２１には弾性支持部材４が収容され、弾性支持部材４の下部が固定キャップ２の内側に支持される。下部以外の部分において弾性支持部材４は可動キャップ３の内面中心部を支えるべく上向きに延長しており、平面視して全方向に傾倒可能及復元可能に設けられている。全ての振出口３１が固定キャップ２によって塞がれている平常状態では、固定キャップ２の上部と可動キャップ３とで、略球面形状の摺動面が形成される。この摺動面に沿って可動キャップ３を摺動させるために、可動キャップ３の上面中心部には平面視して全方向に操作可能な操作部３２が真上に突出している。 The outline of the overall structure of the shaking device 1 is as follows. The movable cap 3 is formed in a shape corresponding to the upper part of the hollow sphere. Further, the outlet 31 for discharging the contents of the container body is formed at equal intervals over the entire circumference in the circumferential direction below the movable cap 3. On the other hand, the upper portion of the fixed cap 2 is formed in a shape in which the upper end portion and the lower end portion of a hollow sphere that is slightly larger than the movable cap 3 are cut off. Since the fixed cap 2 is hollow, it has an internal space 21. In addition, an opening 22 communicating with the internal space 21 is formed on the upper surface of the fixed cap 2. The lower part of the movable cap 3 is accommodated inside the opening 22, while the upper surface of the movable cap 3 is exposed to the outside. The elastic support member 4 is accommodated in the internal space 21 of the fixed cap 2, and the lower part of the elastic support member 4 is supported inside the fixed cap 2. The elastic support member 4 extends upward so as to support the central portion of the inner surface of the movable cap 3 at a portion other than the lower portion, and is provided so as to be tiltable and recoverable in all directions in plan view. In a normal state where all the swing outlets 31 are blocked by the fixed cap 2, a substantially spherical sliding surface is formed by the upper portion of the fixed cap 2 and the movable cap 3. In order to slide the movable cap 3 along the sliding surface, an operation portion 32 that can be operated in all directions in a plan view protrudes right above the central portion of the upper surface of the movable cap 3.
次に固定キャップ２について説明する。固定キャップ２は、容器本体に連結する下側の固定キャップ本体部２ａと、全ての振出口３１を塞ぐ上側の上部リング２ｂとを備えている。また、固定キャップ本体部２ａと上部リング２ｂは別体であって、固定キャップ本体部２ａの上に上部リング２ｂを嵌め合わせることによって両者が一体化する。なお、固定キャップ２には弾性支持部材４が一体に設けられている。 Next, the fixed cap 2 will be described. The fixed cap 2 includes a lower fixed cap main body portion 2 a connected to the container main body, and an upper upper ring 2 b that closes all the swing outlets 31. Further, the fixed cap main body 2a and the upper ring 2b are separate bodies, and they are integrated by fitting the upper ring 2b on the fixed cap main body 2a. An elastic support member 4 is integrally provided on the fixed cap 2.
固定キャップ本体部２ａは、容器本体の円筒状の口部に連結する連結壁２３と、摺動状態の可動キャップ３の外周面に接する下部リング２４とを備えている。連結壁２３は、円筒状であって、その下部内周面には雌ネジ部２５が形成されている。この雌ネジ部２５は、図示しない容器本体の口部の外周面に形成された雄ネジ部に捩じ込むものである。下部リング２４は、中空の球の下半分からその下端部（底部）を切除した形状であって、連結壁２３の上端全周から上方に延長しながら半径方向外側に広がっている。 The fixed cap main body 2a includes a connecting wall 23 connected to the cylindrical mouth of the container main body, and a lower ring 24 in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the movable cap 3 in a sliding state. The connecting wall 23 has a cylindrical shape, and a female screw portion 25 is formed on the lower inner peripheral surface thereof. The female screw portion 25 is screwed into a male screw portion formed on the outer peripheral surface of the mouth portion of the container body (not shown). The lower ring 24 has a shape in which the lower end (bottom) thereof is cut from the lower half of the hollow sphere, and extends outward in the radial direction while extending upward from the entire upper end of the connection wall 23.
上部リング２ｂは、中空の球の上半分からその上端部を切除した形状である。上部リング２ｂの上面内周側には平面視して円形状の開口部２２が形成される。上部リング２ｂの下端面と下部リング２４の上端面とが嵌まり合うように、双方の円周方向全周に亘って断面楔状の凹部２６又は凸部２７が別々に形成されている。下部リング２４の上端の内周部に形成されているものが上向きの凸部２７であるとすると、上部リング２ｂの下端の内周面に形成されているものが凹部２６となる。この凹部２６の上端内周全周から環状の裾壁２８が垂下している。この裾壁２８が下部リング２４の凸部２７の内周面の上（内側）に重なり合っている。従って、裾壁２８の内面に内容物（例えば粉や粒）が付いても、粉等がその自重により落下して、凹部２６と凸部２７との嵌合箇所に侵入しづらい。 The upper ring 2b has a shape obtained by cutting off the upper end portion from the upper half of the hollow sphere. A circular opening 22 is formed on the inner peripheral side of the upper surface of the upper ring 2b in plan view. A concave portion 26 or a convex portion 27 having a wedge-shaped cross section is separately formed over the entire circumference in the circumferential direction so that the lower end surface of the upper ring 2b and the upper end surface of the lower ring 24 are fitted together. If what is formed on the inner peripheral portion at the upper end of the lower ring 24 is the upward convex portion 27, what is formed on the inner peripheral surface at the lower end of the upper ring 2 b is the concave portion 26. An annular skirt wall 28 hangs down from the entire inner periphery of the upper end of the recess 26. The bottom wall 28 overlaps (inside) the inner peripheral surface of the convex portion 27 of the lower ring 24. Therefore, even if contents (for example, powder or particles) are attached to the inner surface of the bottom wall 28, the powder or the like falls due to its own weight and does not easily enter the fitting portion between the concave portion 26 and the convex portion 27.
また、裾壁２８が薄肉であるので、裾壁２８の内周面と下部リング２４の内周面とが殆ど段差無く連続する状態になっており、それゆえこれらの内周面が摺動面となり、平常状態及び摺動状態の可動キャップ３の摺動面（上面）の下部に重なり合う。この重なり合い具合は密接している。それは、上部リング２ｂと固定キャップ本体部２ａとが嵌り合っている状態では、上部リング２ｂが可動キャップ３を介して弾性支持部材４を下方に軽く押し込んでおり、それ故、弾性支持部材４には上向きの復元力が作用するからである。また、この復元力に逆らって、上部リング２ｂは可動キャップ３を開口部２２の内側に保持している。さらに、上部リング２ｂの上端面は厳密な水平面ではなく、内周部が半径方向内側に向かうにつれて緩やかに高くなるテーパ形状となっている。このテーパ部分を含む内周部が薄肉のシール片２９となり、薄肉であるから他の箇所よりも弾力性に富む部分となっている。このため、シール片２９が復元力によって押し上げられる可動キャップ３の表面に確実に密接する。また、内容物である粉等を振り出した際に、可動キャップ３の表面外周部に粉等が付着していても、可動キャップ３が元に戻るように摺動する際にシール片２９によって粉等が掻き出されて落下するようになり、上部リング２ｂと可動キャップ３の摺動面同士の間に、粉等が挟まらないようになる。 Further, since the skirt wall 28 is thin, the inner peripheral surface of the skirt wall 28 and the inner peripheral surface of the lower ring 24 are in a continuous state with almost no step, and therefore, these inner peripheral surfaces are sliding surfaces. And overlaps the lower part of the sliding surface (upper surface) of the movable cap 3 in the normal state and the sliding state. This overlap is close. That is, in a state where the upper ring 2b and the fixed cap main body 2a are fitted, the upper ring 2b lightly pushes the elastic support member 4 downward through the movable cap 3, and therefore the elastic support member 4 This is because an upward restoring force acts. Further, against the restoring force, the upper ring 2 b holds the movable cap 3 inside the opening 22. Furthermore, the upper end surface of the upper ring 2b is not a strict horizontal plane, but has a tapered shape in which the inner peripheral portion gradually increases toward the inner side in the radial direction. The inner peripheral part including this taper part becomes the thin seal piece 29, and since it is thin, it is a part richer in elasticity than other parts. For this reason, the seal piece 29 is in close contact with the surface of the movable cap 3 that is pushed up by the restoring force. Further, when the powder or the like as the contents is shaken out, even if the powder or the like adheres to the outer peripheral portion of the surface of the movable cap 3, the powder is removed by the seal piece 29 when the movable cap 3 slides back. Etc. are scraped off and fall, so that no powder or the like is caught between the sliding surfaces of the upper ring 2b and the movable cap 3.
次に弾性支持部材４について説明する。弾性支持部材４は、可動キャップ３を支える支柱４１と、支柱４１を傾倒可能及び復元可能に支える複数本の脚４２と、各脚４２の下端部を固定キャップ本体部２ａに固定する足壁４３とを備えている。 Next, the elastic support member 4 will be described. The elastic support member 4 includes a support column 41 that supports the movable cap 3, a plurality of legs 42 that support the support column 41 in a tiltable and recoverable manner, and a foot wall 43 that fixes the lower end of each leg 42 to the fixed cap main body 2a. And.
支柱４１は、内部空間２１の中心部に起立する棒状部４４と、棒状部４４の下端から段差状に外周側に張り出す円形状の接続盤部４５とを備えている。棒状部４４は、開口部２２よりも上まで延長するものである。また、棒状部４４は、上端に向かって徐々に細くなっており、その上端部４４ａが段付きに細くなっている。この棒状部４４の上部が可動キャップ３の内面中心部に位置決めされている。また、接続盤部４５は、略球面状の摺動面の中心部の位置に配置されており、これにより略球面状の摺動面の内側中心部が、可動キャップ３が摺動する際の中心部になる。 The support column 41 includes a rod-shaped portion 44 standing at the center of the internal space 21 and a circular connection board portion 45 projecting from the lower end of the rod-shaped portion 44 to the outer peripheral side in a stepped manner. The rod-shaped portion 44 extends above the opening 22. Further, the rod-shaped portion 44 is gradually narrowed toward the upper end, and the upper end portion 44a is thinned with a step. The upper portion of the rod-shaped portion 44 is positioned at the center of the inner surface of the movable cap 3. Moreover, the connection board part 45 is arrange | positioned in the position of the center part of a substantially spherical sliding surface, and when the movable cap 3 slides by this, the inner center part of a substantially spherical sliding surface is arranged. Become the center.
足壁４３は平面視環状であって、固定キャップ本体部２ａの連結壁２３、より詳しく言えば、連結壁２３と下部リング２４との境目における内周全周に沿って内向きに張り出している。従って、足壁４３の張出位置が固定キャップ２の摺動面の下端、つまり可動キャップ３の摺動領域の限界位置になり、可動キャップ３の外周端が足壁４３に衝突可能になっている。足壁４３は全体として略水平になっており、より詳しく言えば、足壁４３の上面は、外周部を水平に、内周部を徐々に低くなるテーパ状に形成してある。また、足壁４３の内側に形成される開口が内容物の導入口４６となる。平面視すると、この導入口４６の中心部に支柱４１が位置する配置関係となる。 The foot wall 43 has an annular shape in plan view and protrudes inward along the connection wall 23 of the fixed cap main body 2a, more specifically, along the entire inner circumference at the boundary between the connection wall 23 and the lower ring 24. Accordingly, the protruding position of the foot wall 43 is the lower end of the sliding surface of the fixed cap 2, that is, the limit position of the sliding area of the movable cap 3, and the outer peripheral end of the movable cap 3 can collide with the foot wall 43. Yes. The foot wall 43 is generally horizontal as a whole. More specifically, the upper surface of the foot wall 43 is formed in a tapered shape in which the outer peripheral portion is horizontal and the inner peripheral portion is gradually lowered. Further, an opening formed inside the foot wall 43 serves as an inlet 46 for contents. When viewed in plan, the arrangement relationship is such that the support column 41 is located at the center of the introduction port 46.
各脚４２は、接続盤部４５の外周部と足壁４３の内周部との間に架設してある。また、各脚４２の形状は、その上部においては下に向かうにつれて徐々に半径方向外側に膨らむ状態で湾曲し、それよりも下側においては略真下にそのまま垂下し、その後、下端部が足壁４３に向かって略水平に延びる形状をしている。全ての脚４２が円周方向に等間隔をあけて縦格子状に設けてあり、隣り合う脚４２同士の間が内容物の通過口４７になる。 Each leg 42 is constructed between the outer peripheral part of the connection board part 45 and the inner peripheral part of the foot wall 43. In addition, the shape of each leg 42 is curved in a state of gradually bulging outward in the radial direction as it goes downward at the upper part, and hangs down almost directly below it, and then the lower end part is the foot wall. The shape extends substantially horizontally toward 43. All the legs 42 are provided in the form of a vertical lattice at equal intervals in the circumferential direction, and the passages 47 for the contents are formed between the adjacent legs 42.
次に可動キャップ３について説明する。可動キャップ３は、開口部２２を塞ぐ上蓋壁３３と、上蓋壁３３の頂部（上面中央部）に形成される操作部３２と、上蓋壁３３の内面中央部に形成される支柱用の収容部３４とを備えている。 Next, the movable cap 3 will be described. The movable cap 3 includes an upper lid wall 33 that closes the opening 22, an operation portion 32 that is formed on the top portion (upper surface central portion) of the upper lid wall 33, and a support unit for a column that is formed on the inner surface central portion of the upper lid wall 33 34.
上蓋壁３３は、中空の球の上側半分に相似する形状である。上蓋壁３３の下端面は、半径方向内側に向かって高くなる傾斜面となっている。上蓋壁３３の下部にはその円周方向全周に亘って等間隔をあけて専用の振出口３１が形成されている。可動キャップ３を射出成形における成形時の型の開閉方向（図では上下方向）に沿って型抜き可能に振出口３１は形成されている。より詳しく言えば、振出口３１は、上蓋壁３３の肉厚方向に貫通するだけでなく、下端に向かって型抜き可能に開口するスリットである。スリットは、上蓋壁３３の頂部を中心にして放射状方向に延びる縦長形状であり、上端を上側に膨らむ円弧形状としてある。 The upper lid wall 33 has a shape similar to the upper half of the hollow sphere. The lower end surface of the upper lid wall 33 is an inclined surface that increases inward in the radial direction. A dedicated outlet 31 is formed at the lower portion of the upper lid wall 33 at equal intervals over the entire circumference in the circumferential direction. The shaker 31 is formed such that the movable cap 3 can be removed along the opening / closing direction (vertical direction in the drawing) of the mold during molding in injection molding. More specifically, the shaker 31 is a slit that not only penetrates in the thickness direction of the upper lid wall 33 but also opens toward the lower end so that it can be punched out. The slit has a vertically long shape extending radially from the top of the upper lid wall 33 as a center, and has a circular arc shape in which the upper end swells upward.
操作部３２は、上蓋壁３３から上方に突出する円柱状のジョイント部３２ａと、ジョイント部３２ａの上に連続する球状の操作本体部３２ｂとを備えている。操作本体部３２ｂは半径がジョイント部３２ａのそれよりも大きな球である。 The operation part 32 includes a columnar joint part 32a protruding upward from the upper lid wall 33 and a spherical operation main body part 32b continuous on the joint part 32a. The operation main body 32b is a sphere having a radius larger than that of the joint 32a.
収容部３４は真上方向に延びる穴であって、穴の奥は操作本体部３２ｂの中心部分にまで達している。また、上蓋壁３３から下向きに筒３５が垂下しており、筒３５の内側が穴の入口部分となる。穴の入口部分は、段付き形状である支柱４１の上端部に合わせて、段付き形状としてある。段付き形状であることから、支柱４１が穴の奥側に侵入しないようになり、固定キャップ２と可動キャップ３との密接状態を保持している。 The accommodating portion 34 is a hole extending in the upward direction, and the depth of the hole reaches the central portion of the operation main body portion 32b. Further, the cylinder 35 hangs downward from the upper lid wall 33, and the inside of the cylinder 35 is an entrance portion of the hole. The entrance portion of the hole has a stepped shape in accordance with the upper end portion of the column 41 having a stepped shape. Due to the stepped shape, the support column 41 does not enter the back side of the hole, and the fixed cap 2 and the movable cap 3 are kept in close contact with each other.
上述した固定キャップ２及び可動キャップ３は、プラスチック射出成形品である。また、固定キャップ２と一体成形される弾性支持部材４は、プラスチックの弾力性により平面視して全方向に傾倒可能及び復元可能となるものであり、その材質は、ポリプロプレン又はポリアセタールが望ましい。 The fixed cap 2 and the movable cap 3 described above are plastic injection molded products. The elastic support member 4 formed integrally with the fixed cap 2 can be tilted and restored in all directions in plan view due to the elasticity of plastic, and the material thereof is preferably polypropylene or polyacetal.
上述した振出装置１は以下の要領で使用する。全ての振出口３１を塞いでいる平常状態では、平面視すると、開口部２２の中心部に操作部３２（より詳しくは操作部３２の付け根であるジョイント部３２ａ）が位置しており、その中心部よりも外側部分、つまり開口部２２の外周部が操作部３２の全方向への環状の移動領域となる（但し、後述するが、厳密に言えば、開口部２２の外周部全域が移動領域となるのではない。）。この移動領域を利用して操作部３２を平面視して任意の方向に指で操作すると、開口部の外周部に操作部のジョイント部が移動して、弾性支持部材４の支柱４１がしなりながら傾倒し、このとき全ての脚４２も変形して、可動キャップ３が摺動する。それに伴って操作方向と反対側の振出口３１が開口部２２よりも上がって開口し、内容物を振り出すことができる。なお、振出口３１をさらに大きく開口させようとして、操作部３２を同方向に操作すると、可動キャップ３の外周端が固定キャップ２内の足壁４３に衝突して、可動キャップ３がそれ以上摺動しないようになっている。このとき、上部リング２ｂのシール片２９と操作部３２の付け根であるジョイント部３２ａとは、離れている。これは、シール片２９とジョイント部３２ａとの干渉を防止して、シール片２９の機能を充分に発揮できるようにするためである。従って、シール片２９の内側には開口部２２が形成されるが、開口部２２の外周部のうちシール片２９の近傍領域は、移動領域とはならない。一方、操作部３２から指を離すと、弾性支持部材４の復元力によって支柱が起立するように可動キャップ３が摺動し、全ての振出口３１が開口部２２よりも下がって閉口する。 The above-described shaking device 1 is used in the following manner. In a normal state in which all the outlets 31 are closed, when viewed in plan, the operation portion 32 (more specifically, the joint portion 32a that is the root of the operation portion 32) is located at the center of the opening 22, and the center thereof. The outer peripheral portion of the opening portion 22, that is, the outer peripheral portion of the opening portion 22 becomes an annular moving region in all directions of the operating portion 32 (however, although described later, strictly speaking, the entire outer peripheral portion of the opening portion 22 is the moving region Not.) When the operation portion 32 is viewed in plan using this moving area and operated with a finger in an arbitrary direction, the joint portion of the operation portion moves to the outer peripheral portion of the opening, and the support 41 of the elastic support member 4 is bent. While tilting, all the legs 42 are also deformed and the movable cap 3 slides. Along with this, the outlet 31 on the opposite side to the operation direction is opened above the opening 22 and the contents can be shaken out. If the operating portion 32 is operated in the same direction so as to open the swing port 31 further, the outer peripheral end of the movable cap 3 collides with the foot wall 43 in the fixed cap 2, and the movable cap 3 slides further. It does not move. At this time, the seal piece 29 of the upper ring 2b and the joint portion 32a which is the root of the operation portion 32 are separated from each other. This is to prevent interference between the seal piece 29 and the joint portion 32a so that the function of the seal piece 29 can be fully exhibited. Accordingly, the opening 22 is formed inside the seal piece 29, but the region near the seal piece 29 in the outer peripheral portion of the opening 22 is not a moving region. On the other hand, when the finger is released from the operation unit 32, the movable cap 3 slides so that the support column is raised by the restoring force of the elastic support member 4, and all the swing outlets 31 are lowered from the opening 22 and closed.
振出装置１の第二実施形態は、図２に示すように、固定キャップ本体部２ａと上部リング２ｂとを一体成形品とするヒンジ片２ｃが設けられていることが、第一実施形態との相違点である。ヒンジ片２ｃは、固定キャップ本体部２ａや上部リング２ｂよりも薄肉であって、嵌め合わせた固定キャップ本体部２ａと上部リング２ｂとの外周側に張り出している。そして、ヒンジ片２ｃの一端部は、嵌め合わせ箇所の近傍において、固定キャップ本体部２ａの下部リング２４に、他端部は上部リング２ｂに接続している。ヒンジ片２ｃは、その長手方向中間部が一段と薄肉になっており、上部リング２ｂを固定キャップ本体部２ａに嵌め合わせた状態では、二重に折り重なった状態となる。 As shown in FIG. 2, the second embodiment of the swinging device 1 is provided with a hinge piece 2c in which the fixed cap main body 2a and the upper ring 2b are integrally formed. It is a difference. The hinge piece 2c is thinner than the fixed cap main body portion 2a and the upper ring 2b, and protrudes to the outer peripheral side of the fixed cap main body portion 2a and the upper ring 2b fitted together. One end of the hinge piece 2c is connected to the lower ring 24 of the fixed cap body 2a and the other end is connected to the upper ring 2b in the vicinity of the fitting position. The hinge piece 2c has a thinner middle portion in the longitudinal direction. When the upper ring 2b is fitted to the fixed cap main body 2a, the hinge piece 2c is double-folded.
振出装置１の第三実施形態は、図３に示すように、可動キャップ３に形成される専用の振出口３１が孔であることが、第一実施形態との相違点である。より詳しく言えば、孔は円形状であって、可動キャップ３の下端に向かって開口しておらず、肉厚方向にのみ貫通するものである。 As shown in FIG. 3, the third embodiment of the swinging device 1 is different from the first embodiment in that the dedicated swing outlet 31 formed in the movable cap 3 is a hole. More specifically, the hole is circular and does not open toward the lower end of the movable cap 3, but penetrates only in the thickness direction.
振出装置１の第四実施形態は図４に、振出装置１の第五実施形態は、図５にそれぞれ示してある。これらは、何れも専用の振出口３１が固定キャップ２（上部リング２ｂ）に形成されていることが、第一実施形態との相違点である。
第四実施形態では、専用の振出口３１の形状を第一実施形態と同様にしてある。つまり、専用の振出口３１は、固定キャップ２の上端に向かって型抜き可能に開口するスリットであり、このスリットも略球面状の摺動面となる頂点に向かって放射状に延びる縦長形状である。
一方、第五実施形態では、専用の振出口３１の形状を孔としてある。この孔も円形状であって、固定キャップ２の上端に向かって開口しておらず、肉厚方向にのみ貫通するものである。
A fourth embodiment of the swinging device 1 is shown in FIG. 4, and a fifth embodiment of the swinging device 1 is shown in FIG. These are different from the first embodiment in that a dedicated swing port 31 is formed on the fixed cap 2 (upper ring 2b).
In the fourth embodiment, the shape of the dedicated swing outlet 31 is the same as in the first embodiment. In other words, the dedicated outlet 31 is a slit that opens toward the upper end of the fixed cap 2 so that it can be removed from the mold, and this slit also has a vertically long shape that extends radially toward the apex that forms a substantially spherical sliding surface. .
On the other hand, in the fifth embodiment, the shape of the dedicated outlet 31 is a hole. This hole is also circular and does not open toward the upper end of the fixed cap 2, but penetrates only in the thickness direction.
振出装置１の第六実施形態は図６に示すように、弾性支持部材４、特に脚４２が第一実施形態との相違点である。各脚４２の形状が末広がりの渦巻状に垂下する形状としてあり、これら複数本の全ての脚４２は支柱４１と足壁４３に円周方向全周に亘って等間隔おきに架設されている。 As shown in FIG. 6, the sixth embodiment of the swinging device 1 is different from the first embodiment in the elastic support member 4, particularly the legs 42. The shape of each leg 42 is a shape that hangs down in a spiral shape, and all the plurality of legs 42 are installed on the support column 41 and the foot wall 43 at equal intervals over the entire circumference in the circumferential direction.
振出装置１の第七実施形態は図７に示すように、弾性支持部材４の構成が第一実施形態との相違点である。弾性支持部材４は、固定キャップ２の内部空間２１を上下に仕切る円形状の仕切片４８と、仕切片４８の中心部から起立する支柱４１とを備えている。仕切片４８は、固定キャップ本体部２ａの連結壁２３の上部の内周側に沿って水平に突出している。また、仕切片４８には、支柱４１の周囲に間隔をあけて複数の通過口４７が形成されている。この場合、操作部３２を平面視何れかの方向に操作すると、弾性支持部材４の支柱４１がしなりながら傾倒し、このとき仕切片４８も支柱４１との連続部分において変形して、可動キャップ３が摺動する。 As shown in FIG. 7, the seventh embodiment of the swinging device 1 is different from the first embodiment in the configuration of the elastic support member 4. The elastic support member 4 includes a circular partition piece 48 that vertically partitions the internal space 21 of the fixed cap 2, and a support column 41 that stands from the center of the partition piece 48. The partition piece 48 protrudes horizontally along the inner peripheral side of the upper portion of the connection wall 23 of the fixed cap main body 2a. The partition piece 48 is formed with a plurality of passage openings 47 at intervals around the support post 41. In this case, when the operation unit 32 is operated in any direction in plan view, the support column 41 of the elastic support member 4 is tilted while being bent, and at this time, the partition piece 48 is also deformed in a continuous portion with the support column 41, and the movable cap 3 slides.
振出装置１の第八実施形態は図８に示すように、弾性支持部材４の構成が第一実施形態との相違点である。弾性支持部材４は、前述した通過口４７を有する仕切片４８と、起立する金属製の圧縮コイルバネ４９とを備え、仕切片４８の中心部と可動キャップ３の内周面中心部との間に圧縮コイルバネ４９を位置決めしてある。圧縮コイルバネ４９の上下端部を位置決めするために、仕切片４８の中心部には圧縮コイルバネ４９の中に嵌り込む上向き突起４８ａが上方に突出し、可動キャップ３の上蓋壁３３の内面中心部には圧縮コイルバネ４９の中に嵌り込む下向き突起３３ａが下方に垂下している。圧縮コイルバネ４９は、わずかに収縮した状態で収容されており、それにより可動キャップ３と固定キャップ２の摺動面が密接して重なり合っている。 As shown in FIG. 8, the eighth embodiment of the swinging device 1 is different from the first embodiment in the configuration of the elastic support member 4. The elastic support member 4 includes a partition piece 48 having the above-described passage opening 47 and a metal compression coil spring 49 standing upright, and between the center portion of the partition piece 48 and the center portion of the inner peripheral surface of the movable cap 3. The compression coil spring 49 is positioned. In order to position the upper and lower ends of the compression coil spring 49, an upward projection 48 a that fits into the compression coil spring 49 protrudes upward at the center portion of the partition piece 48, and at the center of the inner surface of the upper lid wall 33 of the movable cap 3. A downward projection 33a that fits into the compression coil spring 49 hangs downward. The compression coil spring 49 is accommodated in a slightly contracted state, so that the sliding surfaces of the movable cap 3 and the fixed cap 2 closely overlap each other.
振出装置１の第九実施形態は図９に示すように、専用の振出口３１が設けられておらず、開口部２２の外周部分を振出口３１に兼用しているものである。これは、可動キャップ３の上蓋壁３３の形状が、中空の球を下側半分よりも少し上の位置で略水平に切除した形状である。従って、平常状態において、可動キャップ３と固定キャップ２の摺動面の重なり具合が、第一実施形態よりも浅くなっている。この場合、操作部３２を平面視何れかの方向に操作した場合には摺動させた可動キャップ３の外周のうち操作方向と反対側が開口部２２よりも持ち上がり、その結果、開口部２２の外周部が局部的に開いて振出口３１になり、内容物が通過可能となる。 As shown in FIG. 9, the ninth embodiment of the swinging device 1 is not provided with a dedicated swing outlet 31, and the outer peripheral portion of the opening 22 is also used as the swing outlet 31. This is a shape in which the shape of the upper lid wall 33 of the movable cap 3 is cut out substantially horizontally at a position slightly above the lower half of the hollow sphere. Therefore, in the normal state, the overlapping state of the sliding surfaces of the movable cap 3 and the fixed cap 2 is shallower than in the first embodiment. In this case, when the operation unit 32 is operated in any direction in plan view, the outer side of the slidable movable cap 3 opposite to the operation direction is lifted from the opening 22, and as a result, the outer periphery of the opening 22. A part opens locally and becomes the exit 31, and the contents can pass through.
本発明は上記実施形態に限定されるものではない。例えば、第一実施形態では、固定キャップ２と弾性支持部材４は一体であったが、固定キャップ２と弾性支持部材４とを別体で成形し、上下に嵌め合わせることによって一体化するものであっても良い。例えば、弾性支持部材４の足壁４３の外周部に沿って下向きの凸を、固定キャップ２の連結壁２３から内周に沿って上向きの凹を形成し、凹凸を嵌め合わせるようなものである。なお、固定キャップ２を構成する固定キャップ本体部２ａと上部リング２ｂとが別体である場合には、異なる色を採用しても良い。上部リング２ｂを透明にすることにより、可動キャップ３の振出口３１が上部リング２ｂ越しに目視できるようにしても良い。 The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. For example, in the first embodiment, the fixed cap 2 and the elastic support member 4 are integrated, but the fixed cap 2 and the elastic support member 4 are formed separately and integrated by fitting them vertically. There may be. For example, a downward convex is formed along the outer peripheral portion of the foot wall 43 of the elastic support member 4, and an upward concave is formed along the inner periphery from the connecting wall 23 of the fixing cap 2. . In addition, when the fixed cap main-body part 2a and the upper ring 2b which comprise the fixed cap 2 are separate bodies, you may employ | adopt a different color. By making the upper ring 2b transparent, the swing port 31 of the movable cap 3 may be visible through the upper ring 2b.
また、支柱４１の上部と可動キャップ３の内面中央部との位置決め構造は、支柱４１と可動キャップ３とが半径方向に殆ど隙間の無い状態に嵌り合う構造に限らず、半径方向に遊びがある状態に収容される構造であっても良い。例えば、支柱４１の上端が可動キャップ３の穴の底に接しながらも、支柱４１の上部よりも可動キャップ３の穴が幾分広い構造である。この場合、操作部３２を操作しても直ぐには可動キャップ３は摺動せず、少量操作して可動キャップ３の穴に支柱４１の上部が干渉することによって始めて可動キャップ３が摺動する。 In addition, the positioning structure between the upper portion of the support column 41 and the central portion of the inner surface of the movable cap 3 is not limited to the structure in which the support column 41 and the movable cap 3 fit in a state having almost no gap in the radial direction, and there is play in the radial direction. The structure accommodated in a state may be sufficient. For example, the hole of the movable cap 3 is somewhat wider than the upper part of the column 41 while the upper end of the column 41 is in contact with the bottom of the hole of the movable cap 3. In this case, even if the operation part 32 is operated, the movable cap 3 does not slide immediately, but the movable cap 3 is slid only when a small amount of operation is performed and the upper part of the column 41 interferes with the hole of the movable cap 3.
さらに、固定キャップ２や可動キャップ３を射出成形する際の型の開閉方向に沿って型抜き可能とするための振出口３１の形状は、固定キャップ２の上部リング２ｂの上端や、可動キャップ３の上蓋壁３３の下端に向かって開口するスリットに限らない。例えば、上蓋壁３３の外周部においてその上下方向に貫通する抜穴であっても良い。この場合の抜穴は、肉厚方向に対しては斜めに貫通し、上蓋壁３３の下端に向かって開口しないことになる。 Furthermore, the shape of the outlet 31 for enabling the mold to be removed along the opening and closing direction of the mold when the fixed cap 2 and the movable cap 3 are injection-molded is the upper end of the upper ring 2 b of the fixed cap 2 and the movable cap 3. The slit is not limited to the slit opening toward the lower end of the upper lid wall 33. For example, a through hole penetrating in the vertical direction in the outer peripheral portion of the upper lid wall 33 may be used. The hole in this case penetrates obliquely with respect to the thickness direction and does not open toward the lower end of the upper lid wall 33.
その他には、足壁４３なしに直に固定キャップ本体部２ａの内周面に脚４２の下端部を固定しても良い。さらに、操作部３２は上方に突出させることによって、操作しやすくしてあるが、指先が入る凹みであっても良い。
In addition, the lower end of the leg 42 may be fixed directly to the inner peripheral surface of the fixed cap main body 2a without the foot wall 43. Furthermore, although the operation part 32 is made to protrude upwards and is easy to operate, it may be a dent into which a fingertip enters.
