Description

[Detailed description of the invention] <Industrial field of application> The present invention relates to a closed container used by shaking out powdered or granular contents, and in particular to a variable amount container that can be dispensed in several different predetermined amounts. Concerning containers.

<Conventional technology> Traditionally, a cap is attached to the mouth of a container.
After dividing the contents into portions by tilting or inverting the container into the measuring section provided in the cap, the contents are dispensed from inside the container by rotating the cap or operating the lid. In addition to sealing the measuring section to prevent it from coming out, it is also possible to take out the contents stored in the measuring section so that it can be used as a so-called metering container (for example,
"Measuring container for granular materials" described in Publication No. 51095
etc.) There are various types.

Also, so-called variable metering containers (for example, the "metering stopper" described in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 58-91548, etc.) have also been proposed in which the amount taken out can be adjusted.

<Problems to be Solved by the Invention> However, the conventional device has a complex structure with many hinged joints and other movable parts, and therefore has the problem that the movable parts are easily damaged.

The present invention was devised in view of the above-mentioned problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a variable quantity container which is robust and allows easy adjustment of the amount taken out without a hinge part.

<Means for solving the problem> In order to achieve the above object, the variable quantity container of the present invention has an opening formed by bending the bottom part of the mouth part of the container body containing powder or granules inside. An inner stopper consisting of a bottomed cylindrical body with a bottom opening is fitted into the inner stopper, a guide window is formed in the upper circumferential wall of the opening of the inner stopper, and hooking protrusions are formed on both side walls of the guide window, A capacity adjusting sliding plate with a sliding button inserted therein is inserted, and the upper part of the inner stopper is covered with an inner stopper lid having a dispensing opening.

<Function> When the container body is turned upside down, the contents are stored from the opening of the inner stopper in the space surrounded by the inner stopper, the inner stopper lid, and the sliding plate, and when the container body is turned back to its original position, the contents are stored in this space. The contents are fed directly below the outlet of the inner stopper lid,
When the container is turned upside down again, a predetermined amount of contents corresponding to the volume of the space is dispensed from the dispensing port, and a predetermined amount of the contents is stored in the space again. Therefore, a certain amount of contents is dispensed in sequence.

Also, at this time, by sliding the sliding button, the sliding plate moves and the volume of the space for storing the contents changes.

<Examples> The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to illustrated examples.

Figure 2 is a partially longitudinal front view, Figures 3 and 4 are
These are a plan view and a side view with the cap removed, respectively. In the figure, 1 is the inner stopper, 2 is the inner stopper lid, 3 is the sliding plate, 4 is the sliding button, 5 is the cap, and 6 is the container body. , 7 is Patsukin.

The inner stopper 1 is a cylindrical body with a bottom, and has a bottom 1a formed by bending to form a guide piece 1b, and an opening 1d provided between the guide piece 1b and the peripheral wall 1c.
The upper peripheral wall 1c is a flat part 1c', and
A guide window 1e is bored in the flat part 1c', and the guide window 1
A hanging protrusion 1f is provided protrudingly on both side walls of e, and further,
A flange edge 1g is formed protrudingly near the center of the outer surface of the peripheral wall 1c.

The inner stopper lid 2 is a plate body having the same shape as the upper end of the above-mentioned inner stopper 1 and has a dispensing opening 2c surrounded by a septal wall 2a and a cylindrical body 2b having a semicircular cross section and hanging downward. is fitted onto the top end of the

The sliding plate 3 has a guide piece 3a having a rectangular vertical section and an arc-shaped cross section hanging below a semicircular dish part 3b, and forms an insertion part 3c for inserting the sliding button 4 into the dish part 3b. The guide piece 3a is inserted into the opening 1d of the inner stopper 1, and the inner stopper 1 is attached so that the opening 1d is closed by the bottom surface of the dish portion 3b.

The sliding button 4 is inserted into the insertion part 3c of the sliding plate 3,
Consisting of a fixed connecting rod 4a and an operating portion 4b whose upper end is bent outward, the connecting rod 4a is inserted into the insertion portion 3c of the sliding plate 3 through the guide window 1e of the inner stopper 1, and then inserted into the guide window 1e. It is slidably attached along with the sliding plate 3 along the guide window 1e, and is positioned at a predetermined position by latching protrusions 1f protruding from both sides of the guide window 1e.

Further, the cap 5 has a top plate 5a and a peripheral wall 5b.
A threaded portion 5c is formed on the inner surface.

The container body 6 has a threaded portion 6b on the outer peripheral wall of the mouth portion 6a.
Further, a protrusion 6c is formed below the threaded portion 6b, and a solid material in the form of powder or granules (not shown) is accommodated therein.

Further, the gasket 7 is attached to the inside of the top plate 5a of the cap 5, and the gasket 7 is attached to the inside of the top plate 5a of the cap 5.
When it is screwed on, it comes into contact with the inner stopper 1 and the inner stopper lid 2, and hermetically seals the dispenser opening 2c.

With the above configuration, when the cap 5 is removed and the sliding button 4 is set to the position shown by the solid line in FIG. As shown by the solid line, the sliding plate 3
is at the top, the peripheral wall 1c of the inner stopper 1, the inner stopper lid 2
The volume of the space V surrounded by the septal wall 2a, the guide piece 3a of the sliding plate 3, and the plate part 3b is maximized, and in this state, first, when the container of the present invention is turned upside down,
The contents in the container body 6 are guided by the guide pieces 1b and 3a of the inner stopper 1 and the sliding plate 3, and are stored in the space V through the opening 1d. Next, when the container is returned to its original position, a portion of the contents in the space V return into the container body 6 through the opening 1d, but most of the contents slide down along the slope of the guide piece 1b and onto the bottom 1a. Accumulate. Therefore, when the container is turned upside down again, the contents accumulated on the bottom portion 1a are shaken out from the shaker opening 2c, and the contents in the container body 6 are stored again in the space V as described above. By repeating this operation, a constant amount of contents is always dispensed from the dispenser.

Moreover, when changing the amount of swinging out, the volume of the space V can be changed by moving the sliding button 4 and moving the sliding plate 3. In other words, if the sliding button 4 is slid to the "quantitative quantity 2" position, the sliding plate 3 will move downward and the volume of the space V will become smaller than in the case of "quantitative quantity 1", and the dispense amount will also decrease. It becomes less.

Furthermore, if you set the sliding button 4 to the "do not come out" position,
The sliding plate 3 can close and seal the opening 1d of the inner stopper 1.

Note that the shape of each part is not limited to that of the above embodiment and can be changed as appropriate.

<Effects of the invention> As described above, the variable quantity container of the present invention is equipped with a sliding plate that can be moved by the sliding of the sliding button to adjust the amount of dispensed, thereby reducing easily damaged parts such as the hinge part. It is very sturdy, and the amount of stroke can be easily adjusted.

In addition, by using a sliding plate to adjust the dispense amount and seal the opening, a more complete seal can be achieved, especially for materials that dislike moisture such as powders and granules. , very useful.

Furthermore, the dispensing operation is extremely simple, as all you have to do is turn the container upside down, and the dispensing amount can be adjusted by sliding, so you can adjust the dispensing amount with one hand.
It is possible to shake out.
