Description

[Detailed explanation of the invention] (a) Purpose of the invention [Field of industrial application] This invention relates to a spout member for dispensing the contents of a can container that stores liquid contents such as oil or soy sauce. It is.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, various types of spout members have been considered for fitting into the opening of such a can container and guiding the pouring of contents, but all of them are as described below. There are some problems and I have not been able to get anything satisfactory.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] In other words, there is a risk that the flow rate cannot be adjusted sufficiently during pouring, causing pulsation, and the contents may spill out when transferring to another container. Difficulty draining liquid,
Contents adhering to the spout often travel along the outer surface of the container and contaminate it. In addition, in order to protect the spout member from dust after pouring, the structure is complicated, or a cover cap is required to cover the entire top surface of the container as a separate part, and the process of setting the product in the can container is a two-step process. Both methods have problems such as increasing costs.

This idea was made in view of the above circumstances, and it is possible to adjust the flow rate when pouring.
There is no risk of the contents spilling due to pulsation when transferring to another container, the liquid drains well after pouring, and the outside surface of the can container is not contaminated by dripping, and The cover cap, which is a means of protection from dust etc. after delivery and has a simple structure, can be integrally molded.Therefore, the process of setting it in the can container is only one step, so there is no increase in cost and there is no need to worry about getting in the way of handling. The purpose of this invention is to provide a spout member that does not require

(b) Composition of the invention Corresponding to this purpose, the spout member of this invention is as follows:
A spout member that fits into a hole formed in a top plate of a container to guide the pouring of contents, the spout member having a substantially cylindrical body and a spout extending from the body in the fitted state. a dispensing guide portion extending beyond the seaming portion of the top plate to the outside of the container; the body portion includes a lower half portion that should protrude below the top plate; an upper half that should protrude upward; a notch passing through the inside and outside of the lower half is formed on one side of the lower half; A spout having no wall is formed, and the spouting guide has a base whose one end is continuous with the spout and the other end reaches a position beyond the seaming part;
It is characterized by comprising a spout bellow part, one end of which is continuous with the other end of the base part, and the other end of which is tapered and extends outward from the container while descending.

The details of this invention will be explained below with reference to the drawings showing one embodiment.

Each figure from figure 1 to figure 4, figure 6 and figure 7
In the figure, 1 is a spout member. The spout member 1 is fitted into a hole 4 formed in the top plate 3 of a rectangular can 2 as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9 to guide the pouring of the contents 5.

The spout member 1 has a generally cylindrical body 6 integrally molded from plastic material and a spout guide 7 extending from the body 6.

The body 6 has a lower half 8 and an upper half 11.

The lower half 8 has an open lower end 9 and is inserted along the edge of the hole 4 below the upper plate 3 to form a wall with a columnar external shape to protrude, and on one side penetrates the inside and outside of said wall. It has a notch 12. Notch 12
is formed upward from the lower end 9 and has a length spanning the entire length of the lower half 8 in the height direction.

The upper half 11 has a cylindrical inner surface continuous with the lower half 8. On the side opposite to the notch 12, the wall continuing from the lower half is missing almost from its base to form a spouting guide 13, to which one end of the spouting guide 7 is connected. are doing.

An annular flange portion 14 that protrudes outward is formed at the root portion of the outer peripheral surface of the upper half portion 11, and a frictional force between the lower surface of the flange portion 14 and the vicinity of the lower portion and the peripheral edge of the hole 4 Even when the can 2 is tilted, the spout member 1 does not come off from the hole 4 and can remain fitted in the hole 4.

The pouring guide portion 7 is composed of a base portion 15 and a spout bellow portion 16.

The base 15 has one end 15a continuous with the upper half 11 in the spouting part 13, and has an inclined gutter shape that rises while protruding in the direction opposite to the notch 12, and the spout member 1 is connected to the hole 4. When the other end 15b is fitted into the can 2, the other end 15b reaches a position exceeding the seaming part 17 of the can 2, and the upper end surface 15d of the part 15c corresponding to the side wall of the gutter is flush with the upper end surface 11a of the upper half part 11. The upper end surface 15d and the upper end surface 11a are connected to one another.
A continuous plane 1 whose height from the top plate 3 is constant
Make 8.

The depth from the sloping bottom of the gutter decreases toward the other end 15b and becomes 0 at the other end 15b, so the plane 18 forms a closed ring, and the flat plate-like cover When the cover is brought into contact with the upper surface of the spout member 1, the cover can shut off the inside and outside of the spout member. Such a shape of the spout member 1 is important in that it can simplify the structure when considering the cover cap of the spout member 1.

One end of the spout bellow 16 is connected to the other end 15b of the base 15.
It is a roughly triangular piece with the other end tapering downward and extending outward from the can 2 when the spout member 1 is fitted into the hole 4. The position is the extension plane α of the flat parts of the adjacent side walls of the can 2,
It is within the virtual corner space 21 formed between the intersection of β and the rounded corner of the can, and has a shape and size that does not interfere with handling.

[Operation/Effect] The spout member 1 configured in this way has a simple structure and is inexpensive. When taking out the contents of the can 2 using the spout member 1, first open the hole 4 formed in the top plate 3 of the can 2 and sealed with aluminum or the like, and then insert the spout bell 16 into the can 2. When the can 2 is fitted into the hole 4 while extending outward, and the can 2 is tilted, the contents 5 are poured out through the pouring guide portion 7. At this time, air flows from the notch 12 into the can 2 as shown by the arrow 19.
The liquid flows into the liquid and the liquid is poured out smoothly without any pulsation. Since the tip of the spout bellow 16 is lowered, the adhered contents 5 will not be transmitted to the back surface of the spout bellow 16, and the liquid will flow out so that it will collect at the tapered tip. Since the flow can be discharged in a thin stream, it is easy to pour into small containers such as tabletop containers, and the liquid drains very easily.Therefore, there is no dripping on the outside of the can after pouring, and it does not stain the outside of the can. .
The contents adhering to the base 5 are collected into the can 2 along the inclined gutter-like surface, and the top plate 3 of the can is never soiled from beginning to end.

In addition, as a means to protect from dust etc. after pouring,
A cover cap with a simple structure that can be integrally molded with the spout member 1, for example, May 2, 1985 by the applicant.
The product described in Utility Model Registration Application (2) dated ``Cover cap with spout member'' can be used, and since it requires only one step to set it in the product can, the cost will not increase. Moreover, since the spout bellow part 16 is accommodated in the corner space 21, it does not get in the way during use and is convenient.
