Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To precisely discharge contents of determined quantity of powdery or granular material by selectively switching a small capacity and a large capacity with a volumetric discharging container. SOLUTION: A cap 1 having an opening/closing lid 10 is provided on a container body 2 rotatably. A discharge opening 3 is formed on the top face wall of the cap 1 and a measuring cup 4 formed of an annular wall is protruded to the center of the inner face of the top face wall. In the container body 2, a shoulder 6 which has at its central position a cylindrical mouth 5 arranged in the inside of the measuring cup 4 in an extending manner and communicating with the inside of the container body is provided on the top face of the container. At the outer periphery of the cylindrical mouth 5, a plurality of radial partitions 7 protruding upward from the cylindrical mouth end are arranged at intervals on the shoulder so as to form partitioned parts 8, 9 which store contents of powdery or granular material for different capacities. Accordingly, a volumetric discharging container, which has a simple structure, has excellent reproducibility of a discharge for one time, can carry out switching of capacities and discharging of two kinds or more, and can largely improve measuring precision, can be provided in a form easy to handle and at low cost.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to seasonings, nutritional supplements,
The present invention relates to a fixed-quantity discharge container used for metering powder or granules such as chemicals, detergents and other products.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Various types of conventional fixed-quantity discharge containers are used. When roughly classified, a type is provided in which a place for temporarily storing contents is provided in a cap, and contents are stored on the shoulder of the container body. There are two known systems, the type of temporary storage.

[0003]

The former type of the prior art has a problem that the structure is complicated and expensive, and the discharge amount per discharge is different, the measurement accuracy is low, and the discharge amount is not reproducible. In order to improve the point, there is the latter one with a simple configuration, which has good reproducibility of the single discharge amount, but in any case, the discharge amount is limited to one, and a large capacity or a small capacity can be used. It was impossible to select and discharge it, which was inconvenient in handling. In particular, for applications such as detergents and seasonings where the usage amount needs to be selected according to the amount of the target object to be used, one type of weighing can only measure multiples, so the accuracy is roughly a rough guideline. There was a problem with the amount used.

The present invention is intended to eliminate these drawbacks of the prior art. It has a simple structure and has a good reproducibility of one-time discharge amount, and more than two kinds of capacity switching discharges can be performed, and the weighing accuracy is large. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a weighing and discharging container which can be improved in width in an easy-to-handle and inexpensive form.

[0005]

According to the present invention, a cap having an opening / closing lid is rotatably provided on a container body, a discharge port is formed in an upper surface wall of the cap, and an annular wall is formed in the center of an inner surface of the upper surface wall. While the measuring cup is projected, the container main body is extended inside the measuring cup, and a shoulder portion having a cylindrical mouth communicating with the inside of the container main body at a central position is provided on the upper surface of the container. A plurality of partition walls radially projecting upward from the end of the cylindrical mouth portion are provided on the shoulder portion at a plurality of intervals on the outer periphery of the mouth portion to form granules or the contents of the granules into partition portions that store different volumes. It is a thing.

[0006]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION In this fixed-quantity discharge container, the contents flowing out from the cylindrical mouth portion 5 are stored in a measuring cup 4 when the container is inverted, and dropped from the measuring cup 4 when the container is upside down. Only the contents to be filled are divided into the partition parts 8 and 9 of the container shoulder part 6.
And store them, and further rotate the cap 1 or the container body 2 to select and position the discharge port 3 in the partition portions 8 and 9,
The opening / closing lid 10 is opened to allow the contents to be extracted from the discharge port 3 by selecting a small amount or a large amount of a fixed amount. Particularly, in the cap 1, an opening / closing lid 10 is continuously provided on an upper surface wall 11 so as to be openable and closable by a hinge portion 12, and engaging and disengaging portions 13 and 14 are provided on a sliding surface for fitting with the container body 2. The measuring cup 4 is an annular wall extending around the cylindrical mouth portion 5, and the tip end of the measuring cup 4 is conical and spaced apart from the shoulder portion.

[0007]

1 to 7, an embodiment of the present invention will be described. A cap 1 having an opening / closing lid having an opening / closing lid 10 is rotatably provided on a container body 2 and is attached to an upper wall of the cap 1. A discharge cup 3 is formed, and a measuring cup 4 formed of an annular wall is provided at the center of the inner surface of the upper surface so that the container body 2 extends inside the measuring cup 4 and communicates with the container body. A shoulder portion 6 having a mouth portion 5 at the center position is provided on the upper surface of the container, and a plurality of partition walls 7 radially projecting upward from the end of the tubular mouth portion are provided on the outer circumference of the tubular mouth portion at a plurality of intervals. A capacity discharge container is formed by partitioning partition parts 8 and 9 for storing different capacities of granules or contents of granules in preparation for the above.

The partition wall 7 is provided radially from the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical mouth portion 5 provided in the central portion of the shoulder portion to the inner side surface of the cap, and two or more partition portions 8 and 9 are provided on the shoulder portion. However, the cap 1 can be smoothly rotated by providing the cut groove 7 ₁ for fitting the annular wall of the tubular measuring cup 4 at a depth from the upper end edge to the middle of the tubular mouth portion. I have to.
The cap 1 has an opening / closing lid 10 on the upper wall 11.
Are connected by a hinge portion 12 so as to be openable and closable, and concave and convex locking portions 13 and 14 for positioning the discharge port 3 by clarifying the positional relationship of the cap 1 with the fitting sliding surface with the container body 2. Is equipped with. For example, a plurality of convex portions 13 are provided on the inner surface of the cap 1 at one location or at opposing positions, and corresponding concave portions 14 are provided on the outer peripheral surface of the container body 2, and the cap 1 or the container body 2 is rotated by 180 degrees relatively. By moving it, it can be stopped at a fixed position, and the discharge port 3 is located at either of the partition parts 8 and 9, so that switching between small capacity and large capacity can be selected.

In addition, at least one convex portion 15 is provided on the inner side of the cap 1 or a ring-shaped protrusion is provided around the convex portion 15,
A concave guide groove 16 into which the convex portions 15 are fitted is provided on the outer periphery of the container body 2 so that the cap 1 is fitted and held in the container body 2 and smoothly rotates, but is not detached unintentionally. In this case, it is preferable in terms of appearance that the stepped concave surface 17 is formed on the container body 2 or the cap 1 so that the outer peripheral surfaces of the cap 1 and the container body 2 are the same.

Further, the measuring cup 4 is a cylindrical annular wall extending around the cylindrical mouth portion 5, and its tip edge is arranged with a space between the slanted shoulder portion 6 and the shoulder portion 6. In this way, the storage capacity of the contents can be secured.
