Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] "Industrial Application Field" The present invention relates to a container with a measuring cap for storing liquids that do not drain easily, such as cooking oil, soy sauce, or liquid detergent. Regarding things that have.

``Prior Art'' As disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 152160/1983, a drip prevention means for this type of container has conventionally been used.
It is provided on the inner plug member that fits into the mouth and neck of the container body.
That is, the bottom plate of the inner plug member is tilted to one side, and a spout tube with one side cut out from this sloped bottom plate is erected,
The dripping liquid generated on both the inside and outside surfaces of the dispensing tube and the inside surface of the measuring cap screwed into the inner plug member is received by the sloped bottom plate, and is passed through the drain hole drilled at the lowest part of the sloped bottom plate. It is collected inside the container.

``Problem to be solved by the invention'' However, in this type of container, when the cap is turned upward after pouring liquid from the measuring cap, liquid may drip on the outer surface of the cap. In this case, the dripping prevention means described above cannot effectively collect the liquid, and the dripping liquid adheres to and accumulates on the threaded joint between the metering cap and the inner plug member, staining both components and impairing the smooth attachment and detachment of the metering cap. There was a problem that it could be removed.

Therefore, the purpose of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems by configuring the system to effectively collect the dripping liquid that occurs not only on the inside and outside surfaces of the pouring tube and the inside surface of the measuring cap, but also on the outside surface of the measuring cap. .

"Means for Solving the Problems" In order to achieve the above object, the present invention includes a container body 1 with a mouth and neck part 6, and a container body 1 having a lower part fitted inside the mouth and neck part.
The circumferential wall 9 stands up from the outer circumferential edge of the annular bottom wall 10, and the pouring tube 11 whose rear part is notched and opened stands up from the inner circumferential edge of the annular bottom wall, and a flange-like part is formed from the outer surface of the middle part of the first circumferential wall. The inner plug member 2 has a second peripheral wall 13 that hangs down through the portion 12 and is fitted to the outer surface of the mouth and neck, and the third peripheral wall 17 that is removably fitted to the upper part of the first peripheral wall is attached to the top wall 18 periphery. The cylindrical wall 19 of the measuring cylinder 19 is provided vertically from the top wall.
a The lower end of the elastic skirt-like wall 20 is loosely fitted into the gap B between the first circumferential wall and the pouring tube, and the lower end of the elastic skirt-like wall 20 hanging diagonally downward and outward from the outer surface of the lower portion of the tube wall is connected to the inner surface of the first circumferential wall. The annular bottom wall 10 of the inner plug member is formed by a downwardly sloped wall at the rear, and a drain hole 14 is bored in the rear part of the annular bottom wall located in the gap. It is characterized by:

``Function'' After liquid is poured from the container body 1 to the cap 3, the dripping liquid that has formed on the inner surface of the spout tube 11 drips directly into the container body 1, and the dripping liquid that has formed on the outside surface of the spout tube is The liquid is received by the annular bottom wall 10, which is an inclined wall, and from there, it is passed to the drain hole 14 and collected into the container body through the drain hole.

On the other hand, if the cap is turned upward after dispensing liquid from the cap to the outside, the liquid that drips on the inside of the measuring tube 19 will be stored in the bottom of the measuring tube, and the liquid that will drip on the outside of the measuring tube 19 will be stored on the outside of the measuring tube. It is stored in an annular V-shaped groove defined by the inner surface of the elastic skirt-like wall 20. Then, when the cap is fitted into the inner plug member 2 as shown in the figure, the dripping liquid stored in the bottom of the measuring tube flows down the inside surface of the measuring tube, and the dripping liquid stored in the V-shaped groove A flows down. It flows down the outer surface of the measuring tube and the inner surface of the first circumferential wall 9 of the inner plug member, reaches the annular bottom wall 10 of the inner plug member, and from there is collected into the container body through the drain hole in the same manner as described above.

Of course, the elastic skirt-like wall 20 also functions as a sealing member for the liquid inside the container when the container topples over.

``Example'' An example of the present invention will be described below based on the accompanying drawings.

In the figure, 1 is a container body, 2 is an inner plug member, and 3 is a container body.
indicate the respective caps.

The container body 1 is made of synthetic resin and has a mouth and neck part 6 erected from the upper end of a barrel-shaped body part 4 via a shoulder part 5.

In the illustrated example, a handle 7 hangs obliquely downward and outward from the upper rear portion of the body portion 4, and a first engaging protrusion 8 for positioning is attached to the lower outer surface of the mouth and neck portion 6.

The inner plug member 2 has a first circumferential wall 9 whose lower part is fitted inside the mouth and neck part 6, which stands up from the outer circumferential edge of the annular bottom wall 10, and a rear part of which is cut out and opened from the annular bottom wall circumferential edge. It is made of synthetic resin, with a projecting tube 11 standing upright, and a second circumferential wall 13 hanging down from the outer surface of the intermediate portion of the first circumferential wall via a flange-shaped portion 12 and screwed onto the outer surface of the mouth and neck.

The annular bottom wall 10 is formed of a rearwardly downwardly inclined wall, and a drain hole 14 is bored in the rear part of the annular bottom wall located in the gap B between the first peripheral wall 9 and the pouring tube 11. There is.

In the illustrated example, the inner surface of the first circumferential wall 9 is formed into a stepped surface with a large diameter at the top, which is vertically connected via a gentle slope 9a, and has a notch opening of the spouting tube 11 and a drain hole. 14 are formed continuously. Further, a sealing member 15 is interposed between the lower surface of the flange-shaped portion 12 and the upper end of the mouth and neck portion. Furthermore, a second engagement protrusion 16 is attached to the lower inner surface of the second peripheral wall 13, which engages with the first engagement protrusion 8 by forcibly climbing over the first engagement protrusion 8 at the final stage of screwing. That is,
The above-mentioned engagement prevents the second peripheral wall 13 from loosening in the mouth and neck region.

The cap 3 has a third circumferential wall 17 screwed onto the upper outer surface of the first circumferential wall 9, which is vertically disposed from the circumferential edge of the top wall 18, and a lower portion of the cylinder wall 19a of the measuring cylinder 19, which is vertically disposed from the top wall, is inserted into the gap. The lower end of an elastic skirt-like wall 20 that is loosely fitted into the cylinder wall and hangs diagonally downward and outward from the lower outer surface of the cylindrical wall is made of synthetic resin and is in watertight sliding contact with the small diameter portion of the inner surface of the first circumferential wall. be.

In the illustrated example, the outer surface of the third peripheral wall 17 is knurled. In addition, the elastic skirt-like wall 2
The lower end outer diameter of 0 is selected to be slightly smaller than the upper inner diameter of the first peripheral wall 9.

Therefore, in this embodiment, when the cap 3 is attached, the lower end of the elastic skirt-like wall 20 is aligned with the inclined surface 9a.
It moves smoothly from the large diameter part to the small diameter part on the inner surface of the first peripheral wall 9 via the first circumferential wall 9, and comes into watertight sliding contact with the small diameter part.

"Effects of the Invention" As explained above, according to the present invention, the dripping liquid generated not only on both the inner and outer surfaces of the pouring tube and the inner surface of the measuring cap but also on the outer surface of the measuring cap can be effectively collected. This prevents dripping liquid from adhering to and accumulating on the fitting part between the cap and the inner plug member, which maintains the appearance of both parts, and also maintains smooth attachment and detachment of the cap over long periods of use. Effects can be obtained.
