Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] 3. Detailed Description of the Invention (Field of Industrial Application) This invention relates to a sealing body that can freely adjust the amount of ejection or pouring out of contents stored in a container. The present invention relates to a sealed body having:

(Prior Art) Conventionally, there has been a closure for a container consisting of a cap having a hole through which the dispense amount can be adjusted and a lid hinged to the cap for closing the hole. Many types have been proposed. This type of closure is designed so that the cap is permanently attached to the container, so
The contents contained in the container must be removed through only one opening. This type of encapsulant is disclosed in U.S. Pat.
71, (15) No. 5, and U.S. Pat. No. 4.
This is proposed in Publication No. 378,073. Since this type of cap is permanently attached to the container, it is not possible to remove the cap in order to immediately dispense the contents directly from the container. Furthermore, even with the screw-in cap structure described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,261,486 by Bush, it is good that the cap can be removed in order to adjustably pour out a large amount of stored contents. Even if we try to understand it in a positive way, it cannot be put to practical use.

The above-mentioned sealing body is designed to discharge powdered or finely granulated solids such as spices in an adjustable amount, or can be poured out by shaking it from a number of small holes.
The container is designed to discharge a measured amount of stored material from an opening in order to receive the stored material in the container with a tool such as a spoon. On the other hand, a sufficient solution for discharging liquid at two different ratios in an adjustable manner has not yet been proposed. U.S. Pat. No. 4,284,2 (No. 10) by Bush and Gatti discloses a sealing body in which a line-shaped punched hole is formed to discharge a desired amount by shaking it. The hole is designed to discharge into a spoon, and this hole is closed with a lid that is simply fabricated separately; such a configuration allows spills to be made while maintaining the balance of the sealed body with the open lid. This is not suitable for discharging the stored fluid in a manner that allows adjustment of the discharge amount.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a sealing body capable of discharging a liquid contained therein from separately provided holes having different diameters in an adjustable amount.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a sealing body in which a plurality of holes are provided in the sealing body, and the cough hole portion is closed by a lid hingedly connected to the sealing body. It is.

Still another object of the present invention is a sealing body comprising a plurality of holes and a plurality of lids, the plurality of lids constituting the sealing body being connected by a plurality of hinges as shown in the above-mentioned patent publication. Each of the plurality of segments may be formed separately or integrally cast in this manner, and each of the plurality of segments may be cast separately from the pace cap. Furthermore, as a sealing body that adjustably discharges stored items with two parts, a hinge structure consisting of two parts as shown in the US patent application filed in the name of Bunsch and Patent No. 825.464 is used for cleaning. The invention also provides a hinge that can be disassembled for repeated use.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a sealing body which allows stored fluid to be freely discharged in 11 volumes from separately provided holes of different sizes.

Another object of the invention is to provide a closure having a plurality of holes, the cough hole being closed by a separate lid hinged to the closure. be.

Another object of the present invention is a sealed body consisting of a plurality of holes and a plurality of lids, and the winter clothing constituting the sealed body has a hinge like each part of the sealed body shown in the patented invention.
