Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] "Industrial application field" This proposal pertains to containers for dispensing fixed amounts.

``Prior Art'' Conventionally, a measuring chamber is provided in the upper part of the container body, and a swing-out window is provided diagonally above the measuring chamber, and when the container is initially tilted and returned to its original position, the contents of the container enter the measuring chamber. The dispenser is designed so that each time the container is tilted and returned to its original position, the contents in the weighing chamber are ejected from the dispenser window, and the contents in the container enter the weighing chamber and weighed. Are known.

``Problems to be solved by the invention'' However, the above-mentioned conventional quantitative dispensing containers,
The flow path for the stored items into the measuring chamber and the outlet window are set in a certain direction with respect to the container body, so if the container is carelessly operated in a different direction, it may be impossible or impossible for the stored items to flow into the measuring chamber. The amount was sufficient, and it was either impossible to dispense the stored items or the amount was less than the prescribed amount. Furthermore, since the swing window is provided with a cover plate that can be opened and closed with fingers, it is easy to touch the cover plate, which poses a problem in keeping the periphery of the window clean.

This proposal eliminates the above drawbacks and covers the entire circumference of the upper part of the container.
In other words, it is possible to dispense a fixed amount from either the front or back, left or right direction, and it is also possible to open and close the dispenser from a position away from the dispenser window, making it easy and convenient to dispense a dispenser and keeping the dispenser window clean. The purpose is to maintain the
