Description

[Detailed description of the invention] A. Purpose of the invention: Industrial field of application The invention relates to containers. Specifically, it relates to containers for liquids that can be easily poured out, such as pitchers, sake bottles, containers for soup stock such as soba soup and ponzu sauce, bottles for sauces and soybean oil, and various other containers. This relates to a pouring container that can be used.

Conventional technology and its problems Traditionally, when pouring liquid out of a container, most containers have a pouring spout at the top, which is tilted and poured into a container.

However, with this conventional pouring method, if there is a lot of liquid in the container, it tends to spill unless you tilt it very carefully, and it is difficult to pour from a jug into a jug while the jug is on the table.
It was necessary to lift the tip close to the spout to pour, which was quite inconvenient. In addition, with this conventional pouring method, as the liquid decreases, the degree of slope must be increased to pour out the liquid, so if you cannot see the amount of liquid inside, it is difficult to know what slope is appropriate. This was very inconvenient as it only came out one by one or a large amount came out at once. Moreover, even if the liquid was visible, the degree of inclination had to be carefully adjusted while looking at the liquid surface, and it was not easy to pour out.

This invention was obtained as a result of various studies aimed at solving these shortcomings.It is extremely easy to pour out, and the liquid inside can be poured out almost to the end by tilting at a certain angle. He devised a dispensing container that stops dispensing when the dispensing is stopped, and that it is also easy to fill the container with liquid.

B. Structure and operation of the invention The structure of the invention is such that the container is equipped with a spout at the bottom, and the container is curved upward from the bottom opening at a height approximately equal to the external opening of the spout. A cylindrical body facing downward in the opposite direction and communicating with an internal opening opened inside the container is provided, and an air hole is provided near the internal opening of the cylindrical body. The gist is a container that is easy to pour.

Means for solving the problem: A spout is attached to the bottom of the container, a cylindrical body having a bottom opening and communicating with the inside of the container is provided at the bottom of the container, and the cylindrical body is turned in a U-turn. The internal opening was located near the bottom of the container, and an air hole was provided near the tip of the cylindrical body, that is, near the internal opening.

The present invention will be explained in detail below.

FIG. 1 is a longitudinal sectional view of one embodiment of the container of the present invention.

As shown in this figure, the present invention has a container a with no opening or exit at the top, and a spout 1 is attached to the bottom of the container a. This container a is provided with a cylindrical body 3 that communicates with the inside from the bottom opening 2, and this cylindrical body 3 faces upward from the bottom opening 2 and has a height approximately equal to the external opening of the spout 1. It then makes a U-turn and faces downward in the opposite direction from the spout 1, leading to an internal opening 4 inside the container a. Note that it is desirable that the internal opening 4 be located near the bottom of the container a. Further, an air hole 5 is provided at the tip of this cylindrical body 3, that is, near the internal opening 4.

Note that if the U-turn position is set at approximately the same height as the external opening of the spout 1, the lower surface side of the U-turn portion will be higher than the upper side of the base of the spout 1, and the cylindrical body 3 This prevents liquid from flowing out.

As shown in Fig. 1, when the liquid s is contained and placed without tilting, the water level h at the spout 1 and the water level h inside the cylindrical body 3 match, and the liquid s is pushed outside due to atmospheric pressure. It will not leak out.

In order to pour out the liquid s, the container a is tilted and the spout 1 is lowered. The water level h of the spout 1 reaches the outlet and the liquid s is poured out. Due to the inclination of the container a, the water level h in the shaped body 3 approaches the tip, that is, the internal opening 4, and the air hole 5
completely escapes from the liquid level, and from here, air enters the container a due to the suction force from the above-mentioned pouring from the spout 1, becomes bubbles, and moves toward the top, causing the air to flow out from the spout 1. Let it continue.

In addition, it is appropriate for the air hole 5 to be located at a position that is approximately parallel to the height above the base of the spout 1, and by doing so, the water level h will be slightly above the air hole 5, Even if the slope is small, air can easily enter and pouring becomes easier.

If the inclination of this container a is maintained at a constant angle, the liquid s will be poured out in a constant state, and the intake of air from the air hole 5 will also continue in a constant state.

In other words, by keeping the inclination of the container a at a predetermined angle, pouring from the spout 1 continues, most of the liquid s flows out, and there is no need to increase the degree of inclination. However, it goes without saying that in order to reach the end, it is necessary to increase the slope only at that time.

In this case, if the lower end of the attachment part of the pouring spout 1 is designed to be located at the lower end of the container a, it will be possible to easily pour the liquid to the end, and a preferable result will be obtained.

Also, if you stop tilting midway through pouring, the water level h will return to its original level, and the liquid level in the cylindrical body 3 will come above the air hole 5, and the air entering from the air hole 5 will be blocked, so the liquid s
The dispensing of will stop.

Note that the inflow of air from the air holes 5 when the device is tilted is also caused by the suction force caused by the air being poured out from the spout 1.

FIG. 2 is a vertical sectional view of the container of the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 when it is inverted.

As shown in this figure, if the container a of the present invention is placed in the opposite direction, that is, with the bottom opening 2 facing upward, and the liquid s is poured in as shown by the arrow A, the liquid is s can be stored in container a.

It goes without saying that this storage can be carried out until just before the liquid s flows out from the spout 1.

When using it for pouring, all you have to do is turn it over and put it back in place.

In this case, most of the liquid in the cylindrical body 3 is sucked into the container a when it is turned over, but some of the liquid adhering to the wall of the cylindrical body 3 drips into the bottom opening 2. Preferable results can be obtained by providing a sag receiving portion 6 for receiving the sag.

The container of the present invention can be placed upside down as shown in Figure 2, allowing it to be placed comfortably.The bottom opening 2 is on top, making it easy to design a diygo type, making it easy to pour. It's very appropriate.

Further, the internal opening 4 of this cylindrical body 3 needs to be located away from the spout 1 in the opposite direction, thereby making it easier to obtain a water level difference when the body is tilted.

As described above, if the container of the present invention is tilted at a certain angle, liquid s will always pour out, and if this tilt is stopped, the pouring will stop, and pouring liquid s into container a can be achieved very easily. be.

FIG. 3 is a longitudinal sectional view of another embodiment of the container of the present invention.

If the entire bottom surface is made into the bottom opening 2 as shown in this figure, the container a will be very easy to pour into, and will also have a very unique shape.

FIG. 4 is a longitudinal sectional view of yet another embodiment of the container of the present invention.

As shown in this figure, the pouring spout 1, the bottom opening 2, and the cylindrical body 3 of the present invention are made as one body, and this is attached to the container a using an attachment method, for example, with screws 7, for cleaning. This makes it extremely convenient.

C. Effect of the idea The effects of the present invention are listed below.

(b) Since the spout is located at a low position, it is easy to pour out liquid, and even if the container is full, it can be easily poured into the container without having to lift the container.

(b) Since the liquid can be poured in a steady state by tilting at a constant angle, there is no need to adjust the tilt angle and there is no need to check the liquid level, so even an opaque container can achieve extremely smooth pouring.

(c) Injecting liquid into this container can be easily achieved by inverting the container, and even if it is left inverted, it feels smooth and there is no resistance, and the bottom opening Since it can be easily designed into a diyogo type, it is very easy to inject.

(d) Since the spout and cylindrical body are concentrated at the bottom, it is easy to use the attachment method, and it exhibits excellent effects such as ease of cleaning and compatibility.

(e) Since the container of the present invention needs to be inverted, it is suitable for relatively small containers, and it is also possible to design very unique designs for various types of bottles.

Because of the various effects described above, the container of the present invention can be extremely effectively used as a water pitcher, a sake bottle, a bottle for soup stock or a seasoning liquid, and various other containers.
