BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a package that can be stored in each container so that individual measuring cups of liquid pesticide or liquid fertilizer are not lost, and a measuring cup storing method using the same.
[0002]
[Background Art and Problems to be Solved by the Invention]
Currently, various agricultural chemicals (insecticides, fungicides, herbicides, etc.) and fertilizers are on the market, but their users are not limited to farmers and horticulturists, and are widely used in general households due to the gardening boom. Is expanding. Depending on the target (plants, pests, diseases, weeds), a small amount of vegetables, flowers and foliage plants are planted in a small area in home gardens and gardening conducted in ordinary households. Various pesticides are used.
Commercially available agrochemical dosage forms include aerosols, sprays, powders, granules, emulsions, liquids, etc. that can be used after dilution with water. In addition, fertilizers include solid granules, sticks, concentrated liquids, and the like.
When using agricultural chemicals and fertilizers, it is important to strictly observe their usage and dosage. However, when using agricultural chemicals that are diluted with water, etc., it is necessary to dilute them to the prescribed concentration. In that case, work to measure liquid pesticide or liquid fertilizer with high concentration occurs.
[0003]
Liquid pesticides and liquid fertilizers that are diluted with water are packaged and commercialized in various forms, many of which are sold in containers filled with glass or plastic lids. These liquid pesticides and liquid fertilizers are weighed in predetermined amounts when sprayed, and in many cases diluted with water and sprayed onto the object. The dilution concentration varies depending on the type of drug, but there are also those with a high dilution factor of 100 to 1000 times.
In the case of a worker who regularly controls a farmer or horticulturist, the prescribed amount is usually measured using a separately prepared measuring cup or graduated cylinder. In the so-called “hobby farmer” of ordinary households who enjoy home gardening with little opportunity, there are not many examples of preparing a dedicated measuring instrument.
[0004]
For this reason, in commercially available liquid agricultural chemicals for home gardening, a measuring cup may be attached to each package. However, since the measuring cup is separate from the container filled with the liquid pesticide, there is a problem that the measuring cup is lost or lost during storage. On the other hand, for example, registered utility model publication No. 3015142 proposes a container with a measuring cup in which an outer lid that also serves as a measuring cup is attached to a bottle-shaped container body (the configuration of the container is shown in FIG. 1). Has been. In the container, an inner lid that is screwed into the mouth tube is mounted inside the measuring cup.
Some pesticides have relatively high toxicity to aquatic organisms. For this reason, in the instruction manual for agricultural chemicals, a precautionary statement such as “Do not wash the container etc. into the irrigation channel / sewage” is often described. For a hobby farmer who does not have enough knowledge about the toxicity of pesticides, he / she has to worry about how to treat the wash water after washing containers and the like. In other words, even if it is a small measuring cup, it is felt that it is desirable to avoid washing the pesticide dilution water every time it is prepared.
However, in the container with the above measuring cup, the measuring cup is fixed to the upper part of the container body. For example, when a measuring cup to which liquid pesticide or liquid fertilizer is attached is fixed, it is attached not only to the container body but also to the mouthpiece. The covered lid will also be soiled. For this reason, in order to fix and store the measuring cup in the container, the user must always wash the measuring cup every time diluting water for pesticide or fertilizer is prepared.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
Under such circumstances, the present inventors have intensively studied a mechanism for fixing the measuring cup to the container without soiling the container body and its lid, and as a result, the screw thread that is screwed into the mouthpiece of the container And a lid having a top plate in contact with the upper end of the mouthpiece of the container, a second cylinder is provided by extending the screw cylinder upward, and a measuring cup is provided on the inner peripheral surface of the second cylinder. By providing the holding means for holding, it has been found that the measuring cup to which the liquid agricultural chemical or liquid fertilizer is attached can be stored in the package without contaminating the container and the lid, and the present invention has been completed.
That is, the present invention is a package having a container (1) filled with liquid pesticide or liquid fertilizer, and a lid (2) attached by screwing to the mouth tube (14) of the container (1). The lid (2) is provided with a second cylinder (7) in which a screw cylinder (6) provided with a thread on the inner peripheral surface is extended upward beyond the top plate (5). A packaging body for liquid pesticides or liquid fertilizers characterized by comprising a fixing means for holding the measuring cup on the inner peripheral surface of the two cylinders (7), and a lid for the packaging bodies for liquid agricultural chemicals or liquid fertilizers (2 And a measuring cup (3) for liquid pesticide or liquid fertilizer is attached inside the cylinder (7) provided above the top plate (5) with the opening facing downward.
According to the package of the present invention, the individual liquid pesticide or liquid fertilizer measuring cup (3) can be stored in the individual liquid pesticide or liquid fertilizer package without washing after use, and the measuring cup can be stored during storage. Do not lose.
