Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a sprinkling container. More specifically, the present invention relates to a sprinkle container that serves as both a strainer and a sprinkling device for seasonings.

[Prior Art] Sprinkle containers for seasonings, etc. are usually small containers with an inner lid that has a large number of small holes for dispensing in the remaining part, and a hole that is made only in a part of the inner lid and has holes for dispensing. It has an opening provided with an outer lid that is placed over the inner lid. Powdered seasonings such as salt, ajinomoto, and pepper are placed inside, and when using it, the outer lid is turned and the small container is tilted to shake out the contents. Incidentally, spices such as pepper are sometimes made into granules to prevent their aroma from quickly disappearing, and some powdered seasonings tend to harden due to moisture. As for these, it may become difficult or clogged to come out from the small hole in the inner lid, so a grinding device is installed at the opening instead of the inner lid, and the contents can be ground up and removed when necessary. There is something I did.

As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the polishing device usually operates through an opening A of a container containing granules.
A hub A ₀ whose conical inner peripheral surface is formed with a concave and convex tooth surface A ₁ is fitted into the hub A 0 , and an axis C is connected to the center of the hub A ₀ from the other end of the container (not shown). A polishing cone B that can be rotated is pivotally supported through the . The outer periphery of this polishing cone B has several convex teeth with sharp tips arranged in a loose spiral shape, and each convex tooth B ₁ is a tooth. The height is lowered toward the hem, and
Further fine teeth _B2 are arranged on the hem side, and overall, the interval between them becomes narrower from top to bottom with respect to the convex tooth surface _A1 of the hub _A0 . There is.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] The conventional furikake container is divided into a plurality of chambers by vertical partition walls, and different powdered seasonings such as salt, kosho or ajinomoto are placed in different chambers. They must be separated or usually placed in separate containers and used as needed, and there is no sprinkler container that can turn granules into powder and that also accommodates other seasonings. . On the other hand, conventional strainers can only be used for straining, and the granules are large in diameter and require strong force at the beginning of grinding, whereas the high-toothed convex teeth _B1 of the polishing cone B first make contact. They are arranged in the order in which they are prepared, so they tend to get lost and broken pieces can easily get mixed into the food without you knowing. Further, the polishing cone B is integrally formed, and if it breaks, the entire polishing cone B must be replaced.

In view of the above-mentioned circumstances, the present invention is capable of containing granular seasonings or spices and other seasonings at the same time, is less likely to harden or become clogged, can be easily shaken out, and is capable of containing granular seasonings or spices in powder form. To provide a sprinkling container capable of shaking out granular soybean paste while grinding it using a grinding device.

A concave groove 79 in the shape of a single letter is formed.

Furthermore, the inner cylinder opening end 38 has a square outer circumference 3.
5, a polishing cone 82 constituting the polishing device 8 is attached by tightening a nut 88 to the male thread portion 37, and a toothed hub as the other component is attached to the ring seat 12 of the container 1. 81 is fixed.

The toothed hub 81 has longitudinal teeth 86 formed on its tapered inner peripheral surface, and the inner cylinder opening end 38 is rotatably supported at the upper part by a center ring 83 via a plurality of spokes 84. I try to do that.
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, the polishing cones 82 are made of discs of different sizes stacked one on top of the other, and polishing plates 82a and 82 each have a rectangular center hole 82f.
2b and 82c are stacked so that their outer edges form stepped strips. In detail, polishing plates 82a, 82b, 8
2c has a plurality of single-tooth pawls 82g formed in an arc shape on the same side at equal intervals from the disc toward the outer circumference, and thin uneven teeth 82h are formed on the edge of each arc, and the upper and lower adjacent polishing plates 82a, 82b, 8
2c, the one-tooth claws 82g are mutually shifted forward by a constant angle θ, while the lowermost polishing plate 82d forms the outer periphery of the disk into oblique teeth 82i, and the toothed teeth facing the oblique teeth 82i. The lower opening edge of the hub 81 is also formed with corresponding internal oblique teeth 87 with a slight gap. Note that the polishing plate 82a and the center ring 83
A spring 89 is interposed between the two.

In this embodiment with the above configuration, a ring seat 12 having a toothed hub 81 fitted to both open ends 11 and 13 of the container 1 and a ring lid 2 are fitted, and an inner cylinder 3 has both ends centered at each center. It is pivoted between the ring 83 and the circular hole 22. Furthermore, the sleeve 5 is inserted into the annular recess 33 of the inner cylinder 3.
With the lower end of the pusher tip 6 fitted and the operating rod 7 screwed through the coil spring 64 and the through hole 43 of the sleeve 5 in order, the pusher tip 6 is attached.
The top cover 41 is placed so that the tip of the inner cylinder 3 protrudes to the outside through the through hole 43, and the protrusion 32 of the inner cylinder 3 and the spline 45
However, the ring groove 23 of the ring lid 2 and the locking member 46
, the upper lid 41 is engaged so that they fit together. As a result, by rotating the upper cover 41, the inner cylinder 3 can be rotated via the spline 45, and by pushing the push tip 6, the operating rod 7 can be pushed down in the axial direction against the biasing force of the coil spring 64. When released, the restoring force of the coil spring 64 causes it to rise and return to its original state.

On the other hand, if a plug 76 is screwed into the other end 73 of the operating rod 7 by a screw means 74, the plug 76 will close the open end 38 of the inner cylinder 3 when the operating rod 7 is in its normal resting position. When the operating rod 7 is pressed down, the plug 76 slides outward, releasing the open end 38, and the other end 73 of the operating rod 7, which has a larger diameter, slightly closes the inner cylinder. It descends to fit into the open end 38, and if there is any seasoning in the space between them, only that amount will be dispensed. Also, the screwing position of the plug 76 is adjusted by means 7.
4, the space can be minutely adjusted by turning the groove 79 with a flat rod or the like to change the vertical direction. In addition, as the operating rod 7 moves up and down, the scraping bar 75 also moves up and down inside the inner cylinder 3.

A polishing cone 82 is attached to the open end 11 of the container 1, and a spring 8 is attached to the square outer circumference 35 of the inner cylinder 3.
When the inner cylinder 3 is rotated, the polishing cone 82 begins to rotate relative to the toothed hub 81, and if there is granular strain in the container 1, it passes through the spokes 84 and enters the space between the two, and is shaken out from below while being ground into powder. .

According to the present invention, the inner cylinder 3 is further rotatably mounted inside the sprinkling container 1, and the operating rod 7 is further inserted into the inner cylinder 3, so that the operating rod 7 can be operated up and down from the tip. Accordingly, the opening end 38 of the inner cylinder 3 can be opened and closed by a plug 76 attached to the other end, and a polishing device is provided between the outside of the inner cylinder opening end 38 and the container opening end 11. The inner cylinder 3 can be rotated to perform a polishing action, and the inner cylinder 3 can be rotated by the upper lid 4, so powdered seasoning can be poured into the inner cylinder 3 and granulated seasoning can be strained into the container 1. By putting these separately, it becomes possible to open the plug 76 and shake out the powdered seasoning, or rotate the polishing device to shake out the granular strain while grinding. . In addition, since a scraper 75 can be operated up and down at the same time on the operation rod 7 that opens and closes the plug 76, it scrapes hardened powder up and down, which can break up the hardened powder and prevent clogging. On the other hand, since the inside of the inner cylinder 3 is normally sealed with a plug 76, moisture cannot easily enter.
It doesn't get clogged and can be easily shaken out. Furthermore, since the size of the space inside the inner cylinder opening end 38 in the vertical movement range of the plug 76 can be adjusted in cooperation with the large diameter tip 73 of the operating rod 7, the opening/closing operation can be performed at the same time. Have them dispense the desired amount of seasoning at a time.

In addition, the polishing device has polishing plates 82a, 82b, 82c formed by a plurality of disks, instead of the conventional polishing cone that is integrally molded and has teeth that are easily chipped.
and 82d, and each polishing plate has a plurality of uneven tooth edges 82h.
The arc-shaped single-tooth claws 82g are formed so as to protrude toward the outer periphery, and at the same time, they are arranged in different order sizes so as to overlap each other in a step-like manner, and the adjacent polishing plates and the single-tooth claws 82g are formed so as to protrude toward the outer periphery.
Since the protruding direction of 2g is regularly shifted, the granular strain can be broken smoothly from coarse to fine.
After polishing it, you can swing it out,
The single-tooth claw 82g is sturdy and won't fall off easily and will last a long time.
For example, if something is missing, you only need to replace the polishing plate.

[Effects of the invention] The invention allows granular seasonings or spices and other seasonings to be contained at the same time, prevents hardening or clogging, makes it easy to shake out, and allows the granules to be powdered. A grinding device can shake out the granular paste while grinding it.
