Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial field of application] The present invention relates to a container with a metering cup that is switchable so that liquid contents can be normally or quantitatively poured.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, as a container of this type provided with a metering cup, there is, for example, a liquid container described in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 60-157650 shown in FIG. In this liquid container, a double cylindrical cup 4 is fitted and fixed inside the mouth / neck part 2 of the container 1, and the inner cylinder part 6 is used as a spout for normal pouring. 6 and outer cylinder 5
The space between and is used as a quantitative chamber C for quantitative dispensing. Further, the metering chamber C is also provided with a spout portion 8, and the metering chamber C communicates with the container 1 through a suction pipe 9 connected via a connecting portion 8a. In addition, a stopper 3 which is fitted to the mouth end of the cylindrical portion 6 is fixed to the center of the inner side of the cap 3 which is screwed to the mouth / neck portion 2 so as to cover the fixed quantity cup 4 from above. With the removal of the cap 3, the cap 3 is detached from the inner cylindrical portion 6 and opened to allow normal pouring from the inside of the container 1.

On the other hand, at the time of quantitative dispensing, with the cap 3 still screwed, that is, in the state where the stopper 7 is fitted in the inner cylinder portion 6,
If the container 1 is tubular, it is squeezed by a squeeze pump to be extruded through the suction pipe 9, and the content is introduced into the metering chamber C. When this squeezing pump operation is completed in a timely manner, the excess content introduced into the metering chamber C falls back into the container 1 and returns, but the remaining content is in the metering chamber C in the spout portion 8 It remains at the liquid level up to the mouth end, and will be dispensed as a fixed amount.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

However, in this liquid container, the measuring cup 4
Is a structure that is fitted and fixed to the container-side mouth / neck portion 2. After the cap 3 is introduced into the metering chamber C with the cap 3 still screwed at the time of the fixed-quantity dispensing, the container 1 is corrected to the normal position this time. Cap 3
Is removed. After the cap 3 is removed, the inner cylindrical portion 6 is also in an open state, and in order to pour out the contents introduced into the fixed quantity chamber C, in order to avoid the outflow from the inside of the container 1, the inner cylindrical portion 6 Stopper 7 with the purpose of removing 6 from the cap 3
Must be closed at. Therefore, there is an inconvenience of sensuously introducing the cap 3 into the fixed quantity chamber C in a blindfolded state with the cap 3 screwed on, without knowing the excess or deficiency. Moreover, there are some very cumbersome steps to take when simply dispensing a fixed amount.
