[0006]

[Action]

 According to the above-mentioned fixed-quantity take-out container for particulates (hereinafter referred to as “quantitative take-out container”), the granular bodies stored in the storage portion of the insertion container can be taken out quantitatively from the hole of the outer container for each operation. That is, by arranging the elastic member between the outer container and the insertion container and inserting the insertion container from the opening formed at the rear end, the inserted insertion container can be urged in one direction. .. Therefore, the insertion container can be reciprocated by pressing the insertion container against the biasing force of the elastic member and releasing the pressing force. When the insertion container is biased to the rear side by the elastic member, the granular body stored in the storage section moves over the projection formed on the extension piece and moves to the mounting piece, and the locking projection and the outer container. The protrusion formed on the bottom prevents movement to the front side and prevents leakage to the outside. When the insertion container is pressed against the urging force of the elastic member and moved to the front end side, the mounting piece engages with the guide portion and is deformed downward, and with this deformation, The gap becomes larger, and the granular material placed on the placing piece is pushed forward and supplied to the outside through the hole of the outer container. At this time, the granular body on the extending piece is prevented from moving on the placing piece because its movement is restricted by the protrusion of the extending piece and the protrusion of the external container.

【Example】

 An embodiment of the above-mentioned fixed quantity dispensing container will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the inside of a fixed quantity dispensing container, FIG. 2 is a plan sectional view, and FIG. 3 is a main part sectional view for explaining the quantitative dispensing function. In the figure, a fixed amount extraction container A is composed of an insertion container 1, an outer container 2, and a spring 3 as an elastic member. A cap 4 is attached to the tip of the outer container 2 to cover the hole 2b formed at the tip of the container 2.

The insertion container 1 has a function of accommodating the granular bodies 5 having a relatively large size and aligning the accommodated granular bodies quantitatively. A storage portion 1a for storing the granular body 5 is formed on the rear side of the insertion container 1 (right side in FIGS. 1 and 2, the same applies hereinafter). The inner dimension of the accommodating portion 1a in the thickness direction has a value substantially equal to or slightly larger than the diameter of the granular body 5. The inner dimension of the storage portion 1a in the width direction is not particularly limited, and it is taken into consideration whether the granular bodies 5 are arranged in one row or a plurality of rows when they are mounted on the mounting piece 1d described later. Is set appropriately. In this embodiment, the granular bodies 5 are arranged in a line on the mounting piece 1d and taken out. Therefore, the width dimension of the storage portion 1a has a value that is substantially equal to the product of the preset amount of the granular material 5 taken out per time and the diameter of the granular material 5. One side (bottom side) in the width direction of the insertion container 1 is extended to the front side (left side in FIGS. 1 and 2 and the same hereinafter), and this side forms an extension piece 1b.

A protrusion 1c is formed which restricts the movement of the granular body 5 in a direction traversing the extending piece 1b. The protrusion 1c is set to a height such that the distance from the inner surface of the outer container 2 is larger than the diameter of the granular body 5. On the front side of the extending piece 1b, a placing piece 1d on which a fixed amount of the granular material 5 is placed is continuously provided via a hinge 1e. The plane size of the mounting piece 1d is set according to the amount of the granular material to be taken out and the alignment method. In this embodiment, since the granular bodies 5 are arranged on the mounting piece 1d so as to be aligned and taken out, the dimension of the mounting piece 1d in the front-rear direction is set to a value substantially equal to the diameter of the granular body 5. In addition, the width dimension has a value substantially equal to the product of the diameter of the granular body 5 and the extraction amount. A locking projection 1f is formed at the front end of the mounting piece 1d and in a direction crossing the mounting piece 1d.

An engagement protrusion 1 g that engages with the spring 3 is provided at a predetermined position on the outer side of the bottom of the insertion container 1. When the insertion container 1 is inserted into the outer container 2, the engagement protrusion 1g engages with the spring 3 so that the insertion container 1 is always biased to the rear side.

The outer container 2 holds and holds the insertion container 1, and the projection 1c formed on the extension piece 1b and the mounting position as the insertion container 1 moves in the front-back direction in the directions of arrows a and b. In cooperation with the piece 1d, the granular body 5 placed on the placing piece 1d is taken out to the outside and a new granular body 5 is supplied onto the placing piece 1d. The outer container 2 is formed to have an inner shape equal to the outer shape of the inner container 1, an opening 2a for inserting the inner container 1 is formed on the rear side, and a granular body 5 is taken out on the front side. The hole 2b is formed.

Inside the outer container 2, a protrusion 2 c is formed at a predetermined position on the upper surface in a direction crossing the outer container 2. The projection 2c is formed at a position facing the locking projection 1f formed on the mounting piece 1d when the insertion container 1 is biased by the spring 3 in the rearward direction of arrow a. The length of the extension piece 1b is set so that the projection 1c can face the projection 2c when the insertion container 1 is pressed in the direction of the arrow b, which is the front side. The protrusion 2c is formed with a height such that the distance from the locking protrusion 1f and the distance from the protrusion 1c are smaller than the diameter of the granular body 5. Therefore, when the insertion container 1 is biased in the direction of the arrow a, the granular body 5 placed on the placing piece 1d is prevented from moving forward by the locking projections 1f and 2c, and When the insertion container 1 is pressed in the direction of the arrow b, the particles 5 on the extension piece 1b are prevented from moving toward the placing piece 1d by the projections 1c and 2c.

Inside the outer container 2, on both side surfaces, the mounting pieces 1d are lowered by engaging with the locking projections 1f of the mounting piece 1d and moving the insertion container 1 in the direction of the arrow b. A guide portion 2d is formed to be deformed. An escape portion 2e is formed on the bottom surface of the outer container 2 at a position corresponding to the guide portion 2d for accommodating the mounting piece 1d deformed downward. Therefore, when the insertion container 1 moves in the direction of the arrow b, the mounting piece 1d engages with the guide portion 2d, is deformed downward, and is accommodated in the escape portion 2e.

A concave portion 2 f for accommodating the engaging piece 1 g and the spring 3 is formed at a position on the bottom surface of the outer container 2 facing the engaging piece 1 g projecting from the insertion container 1. In addition, a semicircular cutout 2g is formed at the rear end of the outer container 2 to facilitate pressing and moving the insertion container 1 in the direction of arrow b.

The spring 3 is housed in the recess 2f and always biases the insertion container 1 in the direction of arrow a via the engagement piece 1g. This spring 3 has such a spring constant that the insertion container 1 does not rattle in the outer container 2 when the fixed amount extraction container A is not used, and can be easily pressed when the insertion container 1 is pressed in the direction of arrow b. Has been set.

The operation of taking out the granular bodies 5 housed in the fixed amount taking-out container A configured as described above will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 3A, the insertion container 1 is normally biased by a spring 3 in the direction of arrow a, which is the rear side. At this time, by tilting the rear end of the fixed amount extraction container A upward, the granular body 5 stored in the storage portion 1a moves over the projection 1c of the extending piece 1b and moves onto the mounting piece 1d. The forward movement of the mounting piece 1d is prevented by the locking projections 1f of the mounting piece 1d and the projections 2c of the outer container, and the mounting piece 1d is mounted on the mounting piece 1d. When a certain amount of the granular bodies 5 are placed on the placing piece 1d, the granular bodies 5 on the extending piece 1c do not move to the placing piece 1d. When the internal container 1 is pressed and moved in the direction of the arrow b, which is the front side, when the granular body 5 is taken out from the fixed amount extraction container A, as shown in FIG. The mounting piece 1d is deformed downward along the guide portion 2d with the hinge 1e as a fulcrum with the movement in the direction. The particles 5 placed on the placing piece 1d by the downward deformation of the placing piece 1d pass under the protrusions 2c of the outer container 2 and pass through the holes 2b formed at the front end of the outer container 2 to the outside. Taken out. At this time, the granular body 5 on the extending piece 1b is prevented from moving to the front side by the projections 1c and 2c and does not come out.

[Effect of the device]

 As described in detail above, according to the container for quantitatively discharging the granular material according to the present invention, the granular material stored in the container is quantitatively measured from the hole of the outer container every time the insertion container is operated and moved forward once. You can take it out. When the insertion container is biased to the rear side by the elastic member, the granular body stored in the storage section moves over the projection formed on the extension piece and moves to the mounting piece, and the locking projection and the outer container. Movement is restricted by the projections formed on the inner surface of the mounting container, and it does not go out to the outside. When it is deformed downward, the space between the outer container and the protrusion of the outer container increases with this deformation, and the granular material placed on the mounting piece is pushed forward and supplied to the outside from the hole of the outer container. It Further, the granular body on the extending piece is characterized in that its movement is restricted by the protrusion of the extending piece and the protrusion of the outer container and does not move on the placing piece.
