Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Field of industrial application) This invention relates to a soy sauce holder that prevents soy sauce from leaking out of the container due to the expansion of air pressure inside and outside the container.

(Prior Art) Conventional soy sauce dispensers generally have a lid with an air port and an outlet at the top end of the container body, but with this container, it is difficult to tilt the container,
Soy sauce may flow out of the container if it is knocked over, and may drip from the spout after using the soy sauce holder, which has the disadvantage of staining the container and tabletop. Also, plastic containers have become abundant in the city these days, but depending on the volume of soy sauce in these containers, if you pour the soy sauce too close to the spout, the air inside the container expands due to the action of outside air. It had the disadvantage of spontaneous leakage due to internal pressure.

(Problem that the invention aims to solve) In order to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks, this invention has a spare tank built into the container so that the appropriate amount of soy sauce can be poured into the drain pipe (spout) without being affected by changes in outside temperature. The problem was solved by draining it from the

(Means for Solving the Problems) Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, technical means for solving these problems will be explained. 1 is a container whose upper surface is screwed together with an elastic lid 2 Form a closed container. 3 is a bottom plate, which is stretched below the container 1, and a reserve tank 4 is provided inside the bottom plate;
Inside the tank 4, a drain pipe 5 protruding upward and downward through the bottom plate 3 is fixed. Reference numeral 6 is a bent pipe, which has an inverted U shape when viewed from the front, and has a drainage side (a) communicating with the reserve tank 4 and a water absorption side (b) extending to near the bottom plate 3 of the container 1 and opening. be.

(Function) Next, to explain the function, remove the container 1 and the lid 2 from the threaded part, open the upper end surface, pour in soy sauce, and then screw the lid 2 onto the container 1 again as before to seal it. When necessary, hold the container 1 vertically and bring the mouth end of the drain pipe 5 over the desired container, press the lid 2 with your fingertips, and the container 1 will be removed by air pressure.
As pressure is applied to the liquid level inside, the soy sauce is sucked from the water suction side B of the curved pipe 6 and moved to the drain side A, and then flows into the reserve tank 4 and as the liquid rises, it is discharged to the outside from the drain pipe 5. It discharges an appropriate amount of soy sauce. Next, when the lid 2 is restored, in order to equalize the air pressure inside and outside the container, outside air is sucked in from the outer end of the drain pipe 5, and at the same time, the soy sauce remaining in the drain pipe 5 flows back into the container. If the soy sauce in the container 1 is not flowing well, either remove the lid from the threaded joint and refill with new soy sauce, or let outside air in and screw the lid back together and drain the drain pipe 5.
It is something that is pushed out.

(Example) Fig. 3 shows one embodiment of this invention, and the same reference numerals indicate the same parts in Figs. The points are explained below.

In this embodiment, a part of the bottom plate 3 inside the reserve tank 4 is raised to form a reservoir 7 between the raised part and the tank 4, and the drainage side (A) of the bent pipe is connected to the side surface of the water absorption side (B). , the packing 8 facing each other so as to open and close the upper end opening on the water absorption side is attached to the lid 2.
It was attached to.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing another embodiment of this invention. This embodiment has an inverted U connected to the reserve tank 4.
Packing in which the water absorption side of the curved pipe 6 is opened close to the bottom plate 3 between the tank 4 and the container 1, an opening is provided in the ceiling of the curved pipe 6, and the opening is suspended from the lid 2. 8 to open and close the door. Therefore, since its operation is the same as that explained in FIG. 3 above, its explanation will be omitted.

Therefore, pouring soy sauce is the same as in Figures 1 and 2 above, the only difference is that when the air in the air chamber in the sealed container 1 is expanded by the outside air, the expanded air is Since the upper end of the water absorption side (b) is normally open, the water flows from this upper end, passes through the pipe on the drainage side (a), and is discharged from the reserve tank to the outside via the drain pipe 5. To take out the soy sauce from the container, lift the container and press the lid while keeping it vertical.The packing seals the top opening of the water absorption side and applies pressure, compressing the air inside the container and causing the liquid inside the container to flow. By pressurizing the surface, soy sauce is sucked from the water absorption side (B) and sent into the reserve tank 4 through the drainage side (A), and when the liquid level in the tank 4 becomes higher than the drain pipe 5, that amount is discharged to the outside. It is something that will be done. Therefore, the soy sauce remaining on the inner wall of the drain side A descends along the pipe wall, collects in the reservoir 7 in the tank, and is located at a position lower than the upper end of the drain pipe 5, so that it does not naturally leak to the outside. It is.

(Effect of the invention) This invention provides a reserve tank 4 in a sealed container,
Since the drain pipe 5 is installed vertically inside the container 1, it acts as a barrier against the internal pressure inside the container 1, preventing natural leakage from the drain pipe 5, and also provides a natural discharge of expanded air and a reservoir 7 in the reserve tank. This has the practical benefit of more reliably preventing spillage of soy sauce.
