Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to taking out a certain amount of powder from a container without using a measuring device such as a spoon.

Conventionally, when taking out powdered milk from a milk can, you would open the lid of the milk can, tilt the can, insert a spoon, and take out the measured amount.

However, the milk can often be tilted too far and the powdered milk spills, or while taking out the milk powder, the milk can is dropped and the floor becomes dirty, which is very troublesome to clean up, and it is also difficult to use a spoon. Parents of infants and toddlers are burdened with the hassle and time-consuming need to use spoons dozens of times a day, as even the slightest tremor of their hands causes them to spill powdered milk. If the conventional operation were to continue for a year, it would be a huge number of times. For example, if you make 200 c.c. of milk, the standard is 10 spoonfuls, and if you make it four times a day, you will need to use the spoon 14,600 times in a year. Additionally, there were inconveniences such as having to hold and operate the can with both hands and not being able to measure with a wet spoon.

The present invention has been made to eliminate these drawbacks.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

A main body 1 is provided with a rectangular tube 2 in which a support shaft 8 and an on-off valve 4 are installed, and holes 5 and 5' are bored therein. A sloped scoop plate 3 is provided on the outside of the tube 2, and one end thereof is connected to a hole 5,
5'. A plate 6 is slidably inserted below the cylinder 2.

Interlocking plates 14, 14', which are rotatable about central shafts 13, 13', are pivotally attached to the main body 1.
Rod 7' is attached to 14', and rod 7' is attached to interlocking plate 14' and on-off valve 4.
cross.

A movable handle 10 and a spring 11 are installed inside the handle part of the main body 1, and the tip of the movable handle 10 is attached to the upper part of the interlocking plate 14.

The device is constructed as described above, and when used, the main body 1 is attached to the mouth of an existing container 15 such as a milk can. Then, shake the existing container 15 lightly. Then, the powder 9 accumulated on the upper side of the sloped scooping plate 3 slides onto the plate 6. Then, when the movable handle 10 is gripped, the movable handle 10, the interlocking plate 14, the rod 7, the interlocking plate 14', the rod 7', and the on-off valve 4 perform interlocking operations, and the on-off valve 4 moves around the spindle 8 into the hole 5. , 5'. As shown in FIG. 3A, excess powder 9 accumulated between the on-off valve 4 attached to the inside of the cylinder 2 and the plate 6 is removed from the hole 5 by the movement of the on-off valve 4.
5', a certain amount of powder 9' remains in the cylinder 2, and the on-off valve 4 closes the holes 5, 5'.

Powder 9 accumulated on the upper part of the inclined scooping plate 3 slides from the hole 5 into the pan 6.

The powder 9' that has accumulated between the on-off valve 4 and the plate 6, which are pivoted on the inside of the cylinder 2, is moved to the two holes 5 and 5' of the cylinder 2 in conjunction with the movable handle 10. As the on-off valve 4 rotates and comes into close contact with each other, the powder is pushed out from the hole 5' into the existing container, and the powder inside the cylinder 2 is
It becomes a certain amount of powder.

Therefore, in order to obtain a certain amount of powder 9', a hole 5' is provided for the purpose of pushing the powder remaining in the cylinder 2 back into the existing container through the hole 5' by the shaft rotation of the on-off valve 4.

Next, as shown in FIG. 3B, when the outlet 12 of the existing container 15 is tilted downward while holding the movable handle 10, a certain amount of powder 9' will slide out from the outlet 12. At this time, since the movable handle 10 is being held, the on-off valve 4 continues to close the holes 5 and 5'. Therefore, only a certain amount of powder 9' is stored in the existing container 1.
It can be taken out from 5.

After taking out a certain amount of powder 9', return the existing container 15 to its original state while holding the handle, and as shown in Fig. Powder 9 remains on board 3.

After completing a series of operations to take out a certain amount of powder 9', the user releases the movable handle 10. Then, the movable handle 10 returns to its original state by the action of the spring 11, and this movement is transmitted to the interlocking plate 14, the rod 7, the interlocking plate 14', the rod 7', and the on-off valve 4, and the movement is transmitted around the support shaft 8. The on-off valve 4 moves and leaves the holes 5, 5' and returns to its original position. At the same time, as shown in FIG.
The powder 9 remaining on top slides down into the pan 6 through the holes 5, 5'.

In other words, by attaching the present invention to an existing container and using it, by grasping the handle and tilting the container, a certain amount of powder can be taken out. After use, just put the container down and let go. in this way,
There is no need to use a measuring device such as a spoon, and you can easily take out the required amount.

Further, since the plate 6 is slidably inserted into the cylinder 2, the volume of the cylinder 2 can be changed as necessary by moving the plate 6 up and down.

Furthermore, if the container is accidentally dropped, the spring 11
Because the on-off valve 4 acts as a lid for the tube 2, there is no need to worry about the powder in the container being scattered on the floor or the like.

In addition, since this invention is used by attaching it to existing containers, if products of various diameters and shapes are produced, it can be used not only for milk cans but also for various powder containers such as powdered coffee bottles and cans. It can be worn as a crown, which is very convenient.

This invention provides great help especially to parents with infants and young children, but it can also be used in busy offices by attaching it to containers for powdered coffee, sugar, etc., or it can be attached to containers for powdered medicine. It would be very useful if used in pharmacies, etc.
