The present invention relates to a rod-shaped dry noodle storage container, and more particularly to a rod-shaped dry noodle storage container having a measuring function.

When storing in a box-shaped storage container (for example, a plastic case with a lid) non-bundled stick-shaped noodles (spaghetti, udon, soba, ramen, etc.) cut to a certain length There is. When cooking such stored rod-shaped dry noodles, it is necessary to take out the necessary amount of rod-shaped dry noodles from the container. As a scale for measuring the required amount of stick-shaped dry noodles, for example, stick-shaped dry noodles that can be inserted into holes by inserting the stick-shaped dry noodles into a hole for measurement drilled in a plate-shaped main body. What knows the standard of the weight of a bundle is known (see Patent Document 1: Paragraph [0002] of Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2003-339557).

The container with dry noodle metering function described in Patent Document 2 (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2009-208814) has a rod-shaped dry noodle main body at a first position where the opening for dropping the main body and the opening for receiving the window material coincide with each other. In the second position where the flat plate portion for scraping the window material scrapes the rod-shaped dry noodles by moving the window material and moving the window material, the opening for removing the main body coincides with the notch for window material removal, The rod-shaped dry noodles dropped into the measuring section can be taken out (see claim 1 of Patent Document 2).

If the dry noodle storage container has a dry noodle weighing function as in the technique of Patent Document 2, it is convenient that a dry noodle meter is not required separately. However, since the cross-sectional area of the measuring unit is almost the same as the opening area of the main body taking-out opening, the apparatus described in Patent Document 2 uses the body-like taking-out noodles that are measured by being dropped into the measuring unit. When taking out from a part, there exists a problem that a stick-shaped dry noodle is caught by the friction between the edge of the stick-shaped dry noodle and the opening part for main body take-out, and cannot be taken out smoothly. Furthermore, since the mechanism for measuring the rod-shaped dry noodles is complicated, the manufacturing cost is increased, there is a problem that a failure is likely to occur due to a failure of the mechanism, and the overall size is increased.

In the container described in Patent Document 3, when measuring rod-shaped dry noodles, the rod-shaped dry noodles can be easily removed from the discharge holes even if the extraction holes are directed downward due to friction between the edges of the rod-shaped dry noodles and the extraction holes or friction between the rod-shaped dry noodles. It was necessary to grasp the stick-shaped dry noodles that had slipped out halfway without being pulled out and pull them out. Also, because there is a variation in the friction between the edge of the rod-shaped dry noodle and the extraction hole and the friction between the rod-shaped dry noodles, the rod-shaped dry noodle does not come out of the extraction hole uniformly, it is easy to break, and you must carefully grip the rod-shaped dry noodle There was a problem. These problems are also considered to occur in the same manner as in Patent Document 2.
Since the holding part (measurement part) described in Patent Document 4 has a structure in which the granular material is held by the concave portion having a shape corresponding to the target granular material shape, Cannot be used. That is, even if the granular container is in a state as shown in FIG. 4 of Patent Document 4 in order to measure the rod-shaped dry noodles in the granular container described in Patent Document 4, Since the holding unit cannot hold the rod-shaped dry noodles, when the granular container is returned to the state as shown in FIG. 5 of Patent Document 4, all the rod-shaped dry noodles that have flowed into the holding unit side return to the storage chamber side. Because.
Further, in the granular material container of Patent Document 4, it is described that the measured granular material is taken out by tilting the container and dropping the measured granular material as shown in FIG. Care must be taken not to fall from the hand receiving the item, and consideration should be given to placing a pan near the container outlet. In the state of FIG. 6 of Patent Document 4, it takes time and effort to pick out each of the weighed granular materials.

The present invention has been made in order to solve the above problems, and its purpose is a storage container having a function of weighing stick-shaped dry noodles, and does not use a complicated mechanism, but directly handles the stick-shaped dry noodles. The stick-shaped dry noodles can be easily weighed by simply tilting the container without touching them, and the required amount of stick-shaped dry noodles can be easily weighed. To provide a container.

As a result of intensive studies in order to solve the above problems, the present inventor has conceived each aspect of the present invention as follows.
That is, the storage container for stick-shaped dry noodles according to the first aspect of the present invention includes a container body having an opening, a lid attached to the container body and capable of opening and closing the opening, and a weighing unit housed in the container body. The container body has a housing portion for housing the rod-shaped dry noodles received from the opening, and the weighing unit has a bottom portion and first and second side portions disposed on both sides of the bottom portion. And the first side part separates the accommodating part and the weighing part, the second side part is higher than the first side part, and the height difference between the first side part and the second side part is The rod-shaped dry noodles circulate between the storage unit and the weighing unit through a gap between the first side portion to be formed and the inner surface of the lid or the container body.

According to the above configuration, the bar-shaped dry noodles can be stored in the container by storing the bar-shaped dry noodles in the container main body storage portion and closing the opening of the container main body with the lid. In this state, the container is tilted, and the bar-shaped dry noodles are weighed through the gap between the first side formed by the height difference between the first side and the second side and the lid or the inner surface of the container main body. Can be put into the department. Further, by tilting the container in the reverse direction, excess stick-shaped dry noodles are spilled and returned from the measuring section to the storage section, so that the stick-shaped dry noodles can be scraped off and the required amount of stick-shaped dry noodles can be weighed. In this way, the rod-shaped dry noodles can be accurately and quickly measured by a simple method without using a complicated mechanism and without directly touching the rod-shaped dry noodles. Moreover, since the measured bar-shaped dry noodles are collected into one bundle shape in the measuring section, it is easy to take out.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, in the above storage container, the measuring part is divided into a plurality of parts in the longitudinal direction. According to such a structure, the stick-shaped dry noodles weighed by the measuring unit can be easily picked up and taken out through the divided parts of the measuring unit through the fingers.
According to the third aspect of the present invention, in the storage container, the container body has a portion that bulges outward at a location close to the portion where the measuring portion is divided. According to this, when the rod-shaped dry noodles are scooped up through the fingers at the divided portions of the measuring unit, the fingertips can be passed through the bulging portion of the container body, and the rod-shaped dry noodles can be scooped up smoothly.

Further, according to the fourth aspect of the present invention, the difference between the height of the upper end of the first side portion and the height of the bottom portion is variable. By doing in this way, the quantity of the stick-shaped dry noodles which can be measured by a measurement part can be adjusted. As an example, according to the fifth aspect of the present invention, the height of the upper end of the first side portion is variable because the upper end portion moves in the vertical direction.

Moreover, according to the sixth aspect of the present invention, in the above storage container, the measuring unit is attached in a removable manner to the container body. According to this, it is possible to attach the measuring unit to the container main body and use it only when necessary, which is highly convenient.

Also, according to the seventh aspect of the present invention, in the above storage container, the container body has an opening at the end in the longitudinal direction. According to this, the present invention can be suitably applied to a vertically placed container.

In the sealed space formed by attaching the lid 20 to the container body 10, two measuring members 30 made of synthetic resin such as polypropylene are installed. Each measuring member 30 in the illustrated example has a shape in which a plurality of elongated plates are combined. FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of the storage container of FIG. 3B taken along the alternate long and short dash line IV-IV in the direction of the arrow. The measuring member 30 shown in the figure has a plate-like bottom portion 31 substantially parallel to the bottom surface of the container body 10 and a first wall portion 32 erected in a wall shape upward from an edge on one longitudinal side of the bottom portion 31. A wall-like skirt portion 33 extending downward from the same edge of the bottom portion 31 to the bottom surface of the container body 10 and fixed to the bottom surface, and a wall shape upward from the other longitudinal side edge of the bottom portion 31. A second wall portion 34 erected on the wall, and extends from the upper edge of the second wall portion 34 to the wall of the container body 10 substantially in parallel to the bottom surface of the container body 10 and is fixed or in contact with the wall. A plate-like step 35. As a method of fixing the skirt portion 33 or the stepped portion 35 to the inner surface of the container body 10, any method such as adhesion or fusion can be used. Although the measuring member 30 in the illustrated example is drawn as a transparent member, the measuring member 30 may be opaque. In this case, the measuring member 30 may be made of metal, wood, etc. in addition to those made of synthetic resin.

As shown in FIGS. 1, 2, and 4, the upper portion is open across the longitudinal direction between the first wall portion 32 and the second wall portion 34 of the measuring member 30. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the two measuring members 30 are arranged in series in the longitudinal direction in the container body 10, and a gap (such as a human finger can be smoothly inserted between the measuring members 30 ( A gap of about 2 to 3 centimeters) is left open.

As shown in FIG. 4, the first wall portion 32 and the second wall portion 34 have the same height. The first wall portion 32 corresponds to the “first side portion” of the present invention, and the second wall portion 34, the step portion 35, and the portion of the wall of the container body from the portion where the step portion 35 is fixed or in contact with the lid 20. The portion up to (the wall portion 36) corresponds to the “second side portion” of the present invention, and the second side portion is higher than the first side portion. Due to the difference in height, in the state where the lid 20 is attached to the container main body 10, the height direction is between the first wall portion 32 (first side portion) and the lid 20 as shown in FIG. 4. There is a predetermined gap ΔH.
The bottom part 31, the first wall part 32, the second wall part 34, the step part 35, and the wall part 36 correspond to the “metering part” of the present invention.
In FIG. 4, when a region (region indicated by a one-dot chain line a) demarcated inside by the bottom 31, first wall 32, and second wall 34 is defined as a “metering region”, the metering region is filled. The amount of the rod-shaped dry noodles put in the container is a target amount to be measured in the storage container 1.

Next, with reference to FIG. 5, the usage example at the time of measuring the stick-shaped dry noodle 40 using the storage container 1 which concerns on this embodiment is demonstrated.
FIG. 5 (A) shows a state in which stick-shaped dry noodles 40 such as spaghetti are stored inside the container body 10.

The length in the longitudinal direction of the storage container 1 is set to be somewhat longer than the length of the rod-shaped dry noodle 40 to be accommodated.

From the state of FIG. 5 (A), as shown in FIG. 5 (B), the entire storage container 1 is tilted toward the measuring section while keeping the longitudinal axis of the storage container 1 close to horizontal, so that the storage section At least a part of the rod-shaped dry noodles 40 stored in the container is caused to flow toward the measuring section. At this time, more rod-shaped dry noodles 40 than the amount that fills the measurement area A are caused to flow from the housing part over the first wall part 32 to the measurement part side. As shown in FIG. 5 (B), the rod-shaped dry noodle 40 that has flowed into the measuring section side not only fills the measuring area a, but also includes the wall portion 36 of the container body 10 that forms the measuring section and the portion of the lid 20 that is in contact therewith. It also flows into the corners.

Next, the entire storage container 1 is tilted in the direction opposite to the inclination of FIG. 5B while keeping the longitudinal axis of the storage container 1 near horizontal. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 5 (B), the entire storage container 1 is temporarily returned to a horizontal position while keeping the longitudinal axis of the storage container 1 near horizontal from the state in which the measuring portion is at the bottom. Further, the entire storage container 1 is tilted toward the housing portion. As a result, as shown in FIG. 5C, a part of the rod-shaped dry noodle 40 that has flowed into the weighing unit side is spilled back from the weighing unit side over the first wall portion 32 to the housing unit. . At this time, the inclination of the storage container 1 is adjusted so that the amount of the rod-shaped dry noodles 40 that fills the measuring area a almost without deficiency is worn. FIG. 5D shows a state in which the rod-shaped dry noodle 40 is worn back and returned to the initial posture. Thereby, the stick-shaped dry noodle 40 of the quantity which fills the measurement area | region a can be measured.
As shown in FIG. 6, the rod-shaped dry noodles 40 weighed in this way can be easily scooped up by opening the lid 20 and putting a finger in the gap between the two weighing members 30.

As described above, the storage container 1 of the present embodiment uses the behavior in which the rod-shaped dry noodles 40 stored in the storage container 1 move so as to flow in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the storage container 1. With a simple structure, it is possible to easily measure the required amount of the rod-shaped dry noodle 40 without touching the rod-shaped dry noodle 40 directly. In addition, since the weighed bar-shaped dry noodles 40 are combined into one bundle without causing strong friction between the edge of the take-out opening and the other bar-shaped dry noodles 40, the weighed bar-shaped dry noodles 40 It can be easily taken out.
The lid 20 may be attached to the container body 10 by a hinge structure.
