Description

[Detailed description of the invention] <Industrial application field> The invention consists of a deformable container body for containing a liquid, and a measuring section for measuring and dispensing the liquid, thereby changing the volume of the container. The present invention relates to a liquid dispensing container in which the liquid is caused to flow from the container body into a metering portion via a conduit by reducing the amount of liquid.

<Prior Art> Liquid dispensing containers have been developed that are capable of sending liquid within a container body through a conduit to a measuring section, and measuring and dispensing the amount desired by the user. Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 16842/1984 is based on a case in which the container body, conduit, and measuring part are molded separately, while Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 117373/1987 and Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 1987/1987 are based on a system in which these parts are integrally molded.
There is number 163662.

<Problem to be solved by the invention> In the liquid dispensing container as described above, each member is molded separately, so the process of assembling these parts is complicated and the manufacturing cost is high. However, in the latter case, all the members are integrally molded, and the size of the measuring section cannot be changed, so the user cannot select the amount that can be measured.

<Means for Solving the Problems> In view of the above points, the present invention solves the problems of conventional dispensing containers, and consists of a deformable container body in which the conduit is integrally molded and a separately molded metering member. A liquid dispensing container characterized in that the groove of the metering member is inserted into the sealing portion of the container body, and the hollow protrusion provided on the metering member is connected to the outlet of the conduit.

<Function> Since the liquid dispensing container of the present invention is capable of separating the container body and the measuring member, each user can make a selection by replacing the measuring member with a desired amount of the measuring member.

Furthermore, since the container body and the conduit are parts that can be integrally molded from an elastically flexible material, assembly is easy, and measuring and dispensing operations are also hassle-free, providing a dispensing container that is excellent in practical terms. It is something.

<Example> The liquid dispensing container of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a front view of the dispensing container of the present invention, in which the container body 1 and the conduit 2 are integrally molded by known blow molding, and an injection port 3 for filling the contents is molded in the upper part of the container body 1. After filling, the stopper is closed with cap 4 etc. The conduit 2 extends upward along the container body 1 from the entrance 5 at the bottom of the container body 1, and is connected to the container body 1 by a seal portion 6 in which the parisons are fused together.
The conduit 2 is bent horizontally at the upper end in the direction of the inlet 3, and the end thereof becomes an outlet 7. Further, a notch surrounded by a seal portion 8 is formed between the spout of the container body 1 and the outlet 7. The seal portion 8 is made up of a horizontal seal portion 81 and a vertical seal portion 82, and, like the seal portion 6, is formed by fusing the parison during molding.

A measuring member 9 is attached to the notch. The above-mentioned seal part 8 is used as the mounting structure, and the measuring member 9 consists of a measuring chamber 11 having a dispensing outlet 10 at the upper part.
As shown in FIG. 2, a horizontal groove 12 is formed in the bottom of the device 1 to straddle the horizontal seal portion 81, and the seal portion 82 is inserted in the side portion as shown in FIG. A lateral groove 13 is formed. Further, the means for fixing the metering member 9 is achieved by forming a hollow protrusion 14 on the side of the measuring member 9 that fits with the outlet 7 of the conduit 2, and this hollow protrusion 14 is connected to the conduit 2 and the metering member. It serves to connect the.

In the embodiment described above, a cap 15 is provided at the discharge port 10 of the metering member 9 to ensure sealing during flow, but as shown in FIG. By molding it and cutting off its tip when in use, it is possible to close the outlet 7 of the conduit 2 with the tip of the hollow protrusion 14 without using a cap or the like, thereby ensuring sealing during distribution.

To use the dispensing container of the present invention, after confirming that the cap 4 is closed, pressing the container body 1 reduces its volume, and the liquid flows into the measuring chamber 11 through the conduit 2 and the hollow protrusion 14. is injected and pressed until the water level is higher than this hollow protrusion.

When the pressure is then released, the container body 1 recovers its volume and the liquid returns into the container body 1 via the hollow protrusion 14 and the conduit 2, and the flow of liquid is lowered to the position of the hole in the hollow protrusion 14. The liquid measured in this manner is distributed and dispensed from the discharge port 10.

<Effects of the invention> The present invention has the above-mentioned configuration, and not only is the dispensing method simple, but also the measuring member 9 is removable, allowing the user to measure the amount by changing the content of the measuring chamber. A freely variable liquid distribution container can be manufactured at low cost.

Also, the method for attaching the measuring member 9 is to insert the respective grooves 12 and 13 into the seal portions 81 and 82, and
Bend the conduit 2 to the left by taking advantage of the elasticity of the upper part of the tube, and then lower the measuring member 9 to fill each groove 1.
The hollow protrusion 14 may be fitted and connected to the outlet 7 of the conduit 2 at the position where the conduit 2 and 13 are inserted into the seal portion 8, and the hollow protrusion 14 can be securely fixed with a simple operation.
