Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] "Industrial application field" The present invention relates to a variable metering dispensing container.

“Conventional technology” Conventionally, powder and granules housed in containers have been
As a shaker container for taking out seeds or larger quantities,
For example, there is a container proposed in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 52-4346.

The container includes a cylindrical container body, a rotating body rotatably disposed on the bottom surface of the container body and having a plurality of blades, and a lower end side of the container body having an opening, and a container body surrounding the opening. A take-out port formed along a side surface for taking out the contents in the container is rotatably fitted to the shaft of the rotating body, and the opening of the take-out port is placed on the rotary body to remove the contents in the container. It is composed of a plate provided to isolate the rotating body from the rotating body, and a scale that determines the rotation angle of the rotating body.

The above-mentioned container measures the contents by storing the contents between the blades of the rotating body, and when the rotating body passes through the opening of the extraction port, the contents between the blades are opened. You can take it out. Therefore, by adjusting the scale, the rotation angle of the rotating body can be determined, and by determining the number of blades passing through the opening, it is possible to take out a desired amount of weighed object.

"Problems to be Solved by the Invention" The conventional container described above is a convenient container from which a desired amount of contents can be taken out.

However, in order to obtain the desired amount of stored material, the scale must be adjusted, which is cumbersome to handle. Furthermore, as described above, since the rotor is equipped with a rotating body having a plurality of blades, the structure is complicated and manufacturing costs are high.

The present invention aims to solve the problems of the prior art as described above and provide a variable metering dispensing container that is simple in structure and convenient to handle.

``Means for Solving the Problems'' The variable metering dispensing container of the present invention includes a cylindrical container 1 with an open top end having a bottom wall 3 that slopes downward from the rear to the front, and a cylindrical container 1 with an opening at the top end, and a cylindrical container 1 with a bottom wall 3 that slopes downward from the rear to the front. two measuring chambers 4 and 5, large and small, formed by projecting downward from both ends of a concave groove formed in an arc shape, and a shaking port 7 rotatably fitted into the upper end opening of the cylindrical container 1; A stopper 6 having a cap 6 is suspended from the outlet 7 of the stopper 6 with its lower end surface touching the upper surface of the groove, and the stopper is rotated as appropriate to the upper end openings of the two measuring chambers 4 and 5. The gist is that it consists of a passage tube 8 that is aligned with each other.

"Function" The variable metering dispensing container is formed as described above, and when the contents are not being shaken out from the container, the lower end of the passage cylinder 8 is positioned in the groove between the two measuring chambers 4 and 5.
In this state, the lower end surface of the passage tube 8 is blocked by the upper surface of the groove and cannot be swung out. When it is desired to dispense a large amount of measured material, by rotating the stopper 6 and aligning the passage tube 8 with the large measuring chamber 4, a certain amount of powder and granular material in the measuring chamber 4 can be divided. After that, the lid 9 is opened and the powder, granules, etc. stored in the measuring chamber 4 are transferred to the passage cylinder 8.
It can be taken out from the drawer port 7 via. In addition, when you want to shake out a small amount of powder or granular material, use the stopper 6.
By rotating the tube in the opposite direction and aligning the passage tube 8 with the small measuring chamber 5, uniformly divided particles can be dispensed as in the case of a large quantity.

When the passage tube 8 does not match each of the measuring chambers 4 and 5, the powder and granules are guided by the inclined bottom wall 3 and sequentially flow into each of the measuring chambers 4 and 5. When the powder or the like in the container 1 runs out, the stopper 6 may be removed from the dispenser container 1 and the powder or the like may be filled.

"Example" Example 1 An example of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
A container 1 for accommodating powder, granules, etc. consists of a cylindrical circumferential wall 2 with an open top end, and a bottom wall 3 thereof is provided at a distance from the lower end of the cylindrical circumferential wall 2.

On the upper surface of the bottom wall 3, a large measuring chamber 4 and a small measuring chamber 5 are formed to protrude downward from both ends of a concave groove formed in an arc shape along the outer periphery. Further, a plug body 6 is rotatably fitted to the upper end of the cylindrical peripheral wall 2 on the bottom wall 3. To prevent the stopper 6 from coming off, protrusions and grooves that fit into each other are provided between the outer circumferential wall of the stopper and the cylindrical wall, and a dispenser opening 7 with a hole is formed in the outer periphery of the stopper 6. . A passage tube 8 having a length that is closed by contacting the upper end of the concave groove with its lower end surface is suspended below the swinging port 7. In this embodiment, the passage pipe 8 is formed separately from the stopper 6 and the shaker opening 7 is formed separately from the plug body 6.
The flange 8a that projects laterally is fixed to the protrusion 6a of the stopper. The cross section of the passage tube 8 is made to have the same shape as the measuring chambers 4 and 5, and the lower end surface of the passage tube 8 can be appropriately aligned with the openings of the two metering chambers 4 and 5 by rotating the plug body 6.

A lid 9 is formed on the outside of the shaker opening 7 in the stopper 6 so as to be able to swing integrally with the stopper 6. If the lid and the stopper are made of synthetic resin, by providing a bending line at the base of the lid 9, the lid 9 can be opened and closed using the bending line as a fulcrum. Furthermore, a stepped portion 9a is formed on the outside of the lid 9,
The stepped portion 9a can be engaged with and disengaged from the outer end of the stopper 6 as appropriate.

Example 2 Next, a second example will be explained with reference to FIG. 4. In this embodiment, a stopper 6 and a passage tube 8 are integrally molded, and an opening 10 is provided in the stopper at a position away from the outlet, and a lid 11 for closing the opening 10 is attached to the stopper 6. It is formed in one piece. Lid 1
Similar to the lid 9 of the dispenser opening, 1 has a bent line at the base and can be opened and closed around the base.

Therefore, in this embodiment, by opening and closing the lid 11,
It becomes possible to fill the contained powder without removing the stopper.

"Effects of the Idea" As explained above, according to the present invention, the measuring chambers 4 and 5 are formed to protrude downward from both ends of a concave groove formed in an arc shape along the outer periphery of the upper surface of the bottom wall 3. Furthermore, the passage cylinder 8 is suspended with its lower end surface touching the upper surface of the groove, and is aligned with the upper end opening of the measuring chambers 4 and 5 by rotating the stopper 6. If you turn the stopper 6 all the way to the left, you can dispense the amount in the measuring chamber 4, and if you turn it all the way to the right, you can dispense the amount in the measuring chamber 5. If you position the stopper 6 in the middle, you can dispense the amount in the container. The container is sealed so that even if the container falls over, the contents will not come out of the container. That is, when measuring, the stopper 6 can be easily handled by rotating it to the left end, right end, or an intermediate position. In addition, since only a measuring chamber is formed for measuring purposes, the structure is simple and the manufacturing cost is low.

It also has a bottom wall 3 that slopes downward from the rear to the front, and measuring chambers 4 and 5 are formed to protrude downward from both ends of a groove formed in an arc shape along the outer periphery of the front upper surface of the bottom wall 3. Therefore, it is possible to almost accurately measure the contained powder or granular material until it reaches a very small amount.
