Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a spout tool provided at a spout of a liquid-filled container such as a bottle, can, or barrel.

Generally, housewives at home have learned how to skillfully pour out soy sauce or sauce from a container such as a bottle through years of experience working in the kitchen, but even so, when they finish pouring soy sauce, etc. You may experience the phenomenon of several drops flowing down through the water.

And if it's sauce, ketchup or cooking oil,
If it gets on your fingers or hands, you have to wash it afterwards, which is a hassle, and the droplets remain on the outside of the container, which is extremely unsanitary.

This is a common inconvenience, especially for young women who are not good at cooking, and men who cook as a hobby, and is the reason why improvements are desperately needed.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned points, and is an attempt to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks by using a cap-shaped spout.

The present invention will be described below based on embodiments shown in the drawings.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the present invention applied to a bottle container;
The figure is a partially cutaway perspective view of the same as the above, and Figure 3 is an exploded perspective view of the same as the above.
FIG. 4 is a longitudinal sectional front view of the same as above, and in the figure, the spout fitting of the liquid-filled container of the present invention is the auxiliary spout 1 attached to the spout part B of the container A, that is, in this example, the spout C of the container A. In this example, a ring-shaped sliding body 2 is fitted so as to be slidable up and down, and a sealing material 3 is provided at a suitable position on the inner periphery 2a of the sliding body 2. A flexible member, for example, a soft synthetic resin, is used, and is normally located above the upper edge of spout B (auxiliary spout 1), with its leading edge 3a facing the inside of the spout. When the sliding body 2 is moved downward as shown in FIG. 5 when pouring out the filled liquid A, the tip edge 3a touches the outer surface of the spout B (that is, the outer surface la of the auxiliary spout 1). ).

More specifically, the auxiliary spout 1 constituting the spout section B is made of any material such as synthetic resin, and in this example is removably attached to the spout C of the container A from the outside.

The outer surface 1a of this auxiliary spout 1 has a vertical groove 1b.
A protrusion 2b provided on the inner circumference 2a of the sliding body engages with the protrusion 2b, so that the sliding body 2 can be slid up and down with a predetermined stroke.

Note that if the upper end 1C of the groove 1b is notched diagonally, the slider 2 can be easily removed from the auxiliary spout 1 when the slider 2 is pulled upward somewhat strongly.

Note that it is preferable to use a transparent member for the auxiliary spout 1 in order to observe the flow of the filling liquid.

As described above, the sliding body 2 is fitted to the auxiliary spout 1 so as to be able to slide vertically, and the diameter t1 of the inner circumference 2a at the upper end is larger than the other diameter t2 (tx>t2). At the same time, a sealing material 3 is provided at this location.

In addition, a lid 4 is supported on the sliding body 2 so as to be freely openable and closable, and an elastic material such as a spring is attached to the hinge portion 5 of the sliding body 2 as necessary to contribute to the opening or closing of the lid 4. Preferably, it is configured to apply a predetermined elastic force.

Note that the outer periphery 2C of the slider 2 is embossed in view of the fact that the slider 2 is held between fingers in order to slide up and down.

The sealing material 3 provided on the sliding body 2 is thin and thick from its base to a diagonally downward tip edge 3a, and the iron wire 3a is normally located inside the auxiliary spout 1.

Therefore, as will be described later, the source liquid droplets captured on the sealing material 3 will be collected into the container A through the iron material 3.

Next, to explain the function of the spout according to the present invention, a portion of the sliding body 2 shown in FIG. 1 is held between fingers and slid downward.

Then, the sealing material 3 and the lid 4 also descend together with the sliding member 2, so that they are pressed against the upper edge of the auxiliary spout 1, and the lid 4 opens first (FIG. 5, 1).

When the slider 2 is further lowered, the sealing material 3 is moved along the outer surface 1a of the auxiliary spout, and the tip edge 3a comes into sliding contact with the iron surface 1a (FIG. 5, 2).

Then, the filling liquid such as sauce or soy sauce is poured out at a position where the sliding body 2 is lowered to an extent relative to the auxiliary spout 1 (FIG. 5, 3).

At this time, several drops inevitably flow down the outer surface 1a, but these are captured by the sealing material 3 and do not flow down.

When pouring is finished, the sliding body 2 is held and slid upward.

In other words, the sliding body 2 is raised from the state shown in FIG. 5 3 to the state shown in FIG. It is captured by the sealing material 3 in contact with it.

When the sliding body 2 further rises to its original position (Fig. 5 4)
Since the sealing material 3 releases its tip edge 3a from sliding contact with the outer surface 1a and is directed diagonally downward as before, the droplets on the sealing material 3 flow along this direction into the auxiliary spout 1. It drips and is collected in container A.

After that, the lid 4 may be closed by pressing it with a finger or the like.

In addition, in view of the expansion and contraction effect of the sealing material 3 as described above, if a notch 6 is formed in the iron material 3 as shown in FIG. Since it is expanded, the sealing material 3 and the auxiliary spout 1 can be brought into sliding contact with an appropriate pressing force (FIG. 6, 2).

However, the same effect as that obtained by providing the notches 6 in FIG. 6 can also be achieved by providing the sealing material 3 at appropriate locations, as shown in FIG. 7, for example, and
Corresponding to this, it is preferable to form a guide portion 1d in the auxiliary spout 1, as shown in FIG.

In FIG. 9, a protrusion 2d is formed on the lower part of the sliding body 2, making it easier to hold the body 2.

However, the protrusion 2d is not limited to the above-mentioned protrusion 2d, and any other protrusion may be used.

In FIG. 10, a rectangular auxiliary spout 1 is used, and accordingly, the sliding body 2 and lid 4 are also formed in the same square shape as the spout 1.

If the auxiliary spout 1 is not limited to the rectangular shape of this example but is shaped into a rectangular shape such as a triangular or pentagonal shape, the spouting part will be square, so it will be difficult to handle relatively high viscosity liquids such as sauce, ketchup, and cooking oil. It becomes possible to improve so-called thread breakage, and
It is also easy to pour out and it becomes scaly.

Figure 11 shows how the auxiliary spout 1 is screwed onto the spout C of the container A, which is effective when the original lid (not shown) of the container A is a screw type. It is.

The auxiliary spout 1 may be attached in any other manner; for example, in the case of the fitting method described above, it may be crimped onto the inside of the spout C.

Moreover, in the case of FIG. 12, the above-mentioned auxiliary spout 1 is not used, but the spout C of the container A is used as the spout part B, and the sliding body 2 is fitted into this.

As explained above, the pouring spout for a liquid-filled container according to the present invention basically has a ring-shaped or A rectangular sliding body is fitted so as to be slidable up and down, and a sealing material is provided on the sliding body to capture droplets and collect them into the container. Undesirable droplets that have accumulated can be removed and the area concerned can be kept clean, and this has the practical effect that the sliding body can be easily slid up and down with a single touch.

In addition, in the examples of this specification, the container was explained focusing on a bottle, but the present invention is not limited to this.
It is of course applicable to scales and other general liquid-filled containers such as cans and barrels.
