Summary of the Invention
Problems to be Solved by the Invention
[0004] The container of Patent Document 1 could only be used in two ways: fixed-quantity dispensing and arbitrary-quantity dispensing. There is also a container in which a small-diameter dispensing port and a large-diameter dispensing port are opened on the top wall of the cap body attached to the mouth-neck portion of the container body, but this could also only be used in two ways: small-quantity dispensing and large-quantity dispensing.
[0005] An object of the present invention is to provide a measuring container that can be used in at least three ways: small-quantity dispensing, large-quantity dispensing, and fixed-quantity dispensing.
Means for Solving the Problems
[0006] The first means is a container body 2 with a mouth-neck portion ⑥ standing upright, a cap body 10 fitted to the mouth-neck portion ⑥ and having a communication port 20 on one end side and a flat wall portion 25 on the other end side when viewed from the side X, The cap body 10 is rotatably fitted with a top cover 30, which has a small opening area first opening 44 on one side 41A of the top plate 40 facing the top wall 16, and a large opening area second opening 46 on the other side 41B. In a measuring container in which the first opening 44 and the second opening 46 can be opened and closed by a lid portion 54 attached to the top lid 30, and are arranged so that they can be positioned above the communication opening 20 by rotating the top lid 30, The middle portion of the top wall 16, as viewed from the side X, is formed as an inclined wall portion 23 that slopes upward from the flat wall portion 25 toward the communication opening 20. Furthermore, a partition wall 48 is vertically installed from the top plate 40, which can be positioned above the base end e of the inclined wall portion 23 and along the base end e when viewed from below, by rotating the top cover 30. This partition wall 48, the inclined wall portion 23, and the top plate 40 define a weighing chamber C that communicates with the first opening 44 and the second opening 46.
[0007] This means comprises a cap body 10 fitted to the neck 6 of the container body 2, having a top wall 16 with a communication opening 20 on one end and a flat wall portion 25 on the other end when viewed from the side X, and a top lid 30 rotatably fitted to the cap body 10, having a first opening 44 with a small opening area on one side 41A of the top plate 40 facing the top wall 16, and a second opening 46 with a large opening area on the other side 41B. By rotating the top cover 30, the first opening 44 can be positioned above the communication opening 20, as shown in Figure 1(B), and the second opening 46 can be positioned above the communication opening 20, as shown in Figure 3(B). From this state, both small and large quantities can be dispensed, respectively. Furthermore, as shown in Figure 1(B), the middle portion of the top wall 16 as viewed from the side X is formed as an inclined wall portion 23 that slopes upward from the flat wall portion 25 toward the communication opening 20, and a partition wall 48 is suspended from the top plate 40, which can be positioned above the base end e of the inclined wall portion 23 shown in Figure 1(B) and along the base end e when viewed from below, by rotating the top cover 30. The partition wall 48, the inclined wall section 23, and the top plate 40 define a weighing chamber C that communicates with the first opening 44 and the second opening 46. According to this structure, the contents are introduced between the top wall 16 and the top plate 40 from the communication opening 20 in the inverted state shown in Figure 4(A), the required amount of contents is measured in the weighing chamber C, and by returning the container to an upright state, the contents slide down towards the flat wall section 25 side via the inclined wall section 23 as shown in Figure 4(B), and are shaken out to the outside from the opening above the flat wall section 25 (the second opening 46 in the illustrated example), thereby enabling weighing and shaking.
[0008] The second means has the same features as the first means, and is provided between the cap body 10 and the top lid 30, with positioning means I for positioning the top lid 30 at a first position P1 where the first opening 44 faces the communication opening 20 and at a second position P2 where the second opening 46 faces the communication opening 20.
[0009] In this method, positioning means I are provided between the cap body 10 and the top lid 30 to position the top lid 30 at a first position P1 where the first opening 44 faces the communication opening 20, as shown in Figure 1(B), and at a second position P2 where the second opening 46 faces the communication opening 20, as shown in Figure 3(B). This structure allows for easy and reliable use of at least three different dispensing methods: small quantities, large quantities, and measured quantities.
[0010] The third means has either the first or second means, and is provided with a convex contact portion 52 on the lower surface of the top plate 40, positioned above the inclined wall portion 23, for loosening the contents in the weighing chamber C.
[0011] In this method, as shown in Figure 1(B), a convex contact portion 52 for loosening the contents in the weighing chamber C is attached to the lower surface of the top plate 40, positioned above the inclined wall portion 23. This structure allows for accurate measurement of the required amount of contents.
[0012] The fourth means comprises either the first or second means, and the partition wall 48 is formed such that, when viewed from below, it can be positioned near the tip f of the inclined wall portion 23 by rotating the upper cover 30.
[0013] In this method, as shown in Figure 1(B), the partition wall 48 is formed so that, when viewed from below, it can be positioned near the tip f of the inclined wall portion 23 by rotating the upper cover 30. This structure makes it possible to reduce the inconvenience of some of the contents flowing into the measuring chamber C when the container is inverted from the state shown in Figure 3(B) to dispense a large amount. [Effects of the Invention]
[0014] According to the present invention, it is possible to use the product in at least three ways: large-volume dispensing, small-volume dispensing, and fixed-quantity dispensing. [Brief explanation of the drawing]
[0015] [Figure 1] The diagram shows the configuration and operation of a measuring container in a small-volume dispensing mode according to the first embodiment of the present invention. Figure (A) is a plan view with the lid closed, Figure (B) is a side view, and Figure (C) is an enlarged view of a part of the side view. [Figure 2] Figure 1 shows the configuration of the main components of the measuring container, with (A) being a plan view of the top lid, (B) being a side cross-sectional view of the top lid, (C) being a plan view of the cap body, and (D) being a side cross-sectional view of the cap body. [Figure 3] The diagram shows the configuration and operation in high-volume dispensing mode. Figure (A) is a top view with the lid closed, and Figure (B) is a side view.

Figure (A) shows the state in which the container is inverted and the contents are introduced into the measuring chamber, while Figure (B) shows the state in which the container is returned to an upright position and the measured contents are discharged from the measuring chamber. [Figure 5] This is a side view of a measuring container according to a second embodiment of the present invention. [Best Mode for Carrying Out the Invention]
[0016] Figures 1 to 4 show a measuring container according to the first embodiment of the present invention. The measuring container is composed of a container body 2, a cap body 10, and an upper lid 30. These members can be molded, for example, from a synthetic resin.
[0017] The container body 2 has a body portion 4 rising from a neck portion 6, and a male screw portion 8 is attached to the neck portion 6.
[0018] As shown in FIG. 1(B), the cap body 10 is a capped cylindrical member fitted to the neck portion 6, and a communication port 20 communicating with a later-described first opening 44 and second opening 46 is opened at an appropriate position (front portion 18 in the illustrated example) of the top wall 16. Further, a measuring chamber C is formed between the top wall 16 and a top plate 40 of the later-described upper lid 30 in communication with the communication port 20. In this specification, the right side in FIG. 1(B) is referred to as "rear", the left side as "front", and the direction orthogonal to the paper surface as "left and right". Further, the left and right direction is sometimes referred to as the side X. In this embodiment, the cap body 10 has a cap peripheral wall 12 vertically provided from the peripheral edge of a horizontal top wall 16, and a female screw portion 14 that engages with the male screw portion 8 is attached to the cap peripheral wall 12.
[0019] A support cylinder 26 for rotatably supporting the upper lid 30 stands upright from an outer peripheral wall portion j of the top wall 16. As shown in FIG. 2(D), an annular protrusion is provided as a locked portion 28 for engaging with a locking rib 38 of the later-described upper lid 30 on the outer surface of the upper portion of the support cylinder 26. Furthermore, an anti-rotation projection 29 is provided on the outside of the support cylinder 26, positioned between the locking portion 28 and the top wall 16, to engage with a projection receiving portion 39 of the upper cover 30, which will be described later. These anti-rotation projections 29 and projection receiving portions 39 form a positioning means I for positioning the upper cover 30 at the first position P1 and the second position P2, which will be described later. In the illustrated example, the anti-rotation projection 29 is located at one point in the circumferential direction of the support cylinder 26, and the projection receiving portions 39 are located at two points in the circumferential direction of the outer cylinder portion 32c, which will be described later. However, their arrangement can be changed as appropriate.
[0020] In this embodiment, the top wall 16 is provided with a communication opening 20, an inclined wall section 23, and a flat wall section 25, positioned inside the support cylinder 26, as shown in Figure 1(B). In the illustrated example, the communication opening 20 is located at the front 18 of the top wall 16 as shown in Figure 2(D), the inclined wall section 23 is located at the middle 22 in the front-rear direction of the top wall 16, and the flat wall section 25 is located at the rear 24 of the top wall 16. The communication opening 20 in the illustrated example is formed as a partial circle consisting of an arc and a chord, as shown in Figure 2(C). However, its shape can be modified as appropriate. The inclined wall portion 23, together with the partition wall 48 and the top plate 40 described later, defines the weighing chamber C. In the illustrated example, the inclined wall portion 23 is continuous with the flat wall portion 25, and when viewed from the side X, it is linearly oblique upward from the base end e, where the continuity is located, to the tip f. However, its shape can be changed as appropriate. The inclined wall section 23 serves as the bottom wall of the weighing chamber C in the upright state shown in Figure 4(B), and by tilting it as described above, it has the function of guiding the contents of the weighing chamber C towards the flat wall section 25. As shown in Figure 4(A), the inclined wall portion 23 in the illustrated example is a horizontally elongated wall portion having a base end e and a tip end f that are parallel to each other. The left and right ends of the inclined wall portion 23 are connected to the inner surface of the support cylinder 26. However, these shapes and structures can be modified as appropriate. As shown in Figure 4(B), the flat wall portion 25 serves as a support portion for temporarily supporting the contents that have flowed out of the weighing chamber C. The weighing chamber C is connected to the first opening 44 of the upper cover 30, which will be described later, via the first cavity A shown in Figure 4(A), and to the second opening 46 of the upper cover 30, which will be described later, via the second cavity B shown in the same figure.
[0021] The top cover 30 is rotatably fitted onto the cap body 10, and has a first opening 44 with a small opening area on one side 41A of the top plate 40 facing the top wall 16, and a second opening 46 with a large opening area on the other side 41B. The first opening 44 and the second opening 46 are positioned away from the center of the top plate 40 so that they can be positioned above the communication opening 20 by rotating the top lid 30, as shown in Figure 1(B) or Figure 3(B). The first opening 44 and the second opening 46 are each formed to be openable and closable by a lid portion 54 connected to the top plate 40 via a hinge 56. In this embodiment, the top cover 30 is formed by attaching a top plate 40 to the upper end of an outer peripheral portion 32 that is rotatably mounted on the support cylinder 26. In the illustrated example, the outer circumference 32 is formed by extending an outer cylinder portion 32c vertically from the vertically intermediate portion of the inner cylinder portion 32a via an outward-facing flange 32b. The support cylinder 26 is sandwiched between these inner cylinder portion 32a and outer cylinder portion 32c. In the illustrated example, an annular notch 36 is formed at the lower end of the outer surface of the inner cylinder portion 32a, which slidably engages with the support cylinder 26. Furthermore, a locking rib 38 is provided around the lower inner end of the outer cylinder portion 32c, which engages with the locking portion 28 of the support cylinder 26. Furthermore, the outer cylinder portion 32c is provided with a pair of projection receiving portions 39 spaced 180° apart in the circumferential direction on the lower side of the locking rib 38. The upper cover 30 is positioned in a first position P1 when one of these projection receiving portions 39 engages with the anti-rotation projection 29, and in a second position P2 when the other of these projection receiving portions 39 engages with the anti-rotation projection 29. Furthermore, the upper outer surface of the inner cylindrical portion 32a is provided with a pressure contact rib 37 for press-fitting with the tongue portion n1, which will be described later.
[0022] In this embodiment, the top plate 40 is formed with one side portion 41A and the other side portion 41B in the front-rear direction in Figure 1(B) as thin-walled portions, and the portion that is elongated in the left-right direction between these sides as a thick-walled portion 42. Furthermore, a first opening 44 with a small opening area is formed on one side portion 41A, and a second opening 46 with a large opening area is formed on the other side portion 41B. In the illustrated example, the first opening 44 is formed by a plurality of small swing holes, and the sum of the opening areas of these small swing holes is smaller than the opening area of the second opening 46, which is a single swing hole. However, these structures can be modified as appropriate. Furthermore, the thickened portion 42 is formed to protrude from one side portion 41A and the other side portion 41B. At both ends of the thickened portion 42, a first lid portion 54A that closes the first opening 44 and a second lid portion 54B that closes the second opening 46 are connected via hinges 56, respectively. Each lid portion 54 has an insertion portion m attached to its lower surface that fits snugly into the opening 44 or the second opening 46, which is the swing hole. In addition, two tongue portions n1 and n2 hang down from the front of each lid portion 54. The inner tongue portion n1 is pressed against the pressure contact rib 37 of the inner cylinder portion 32a as a locking piece. The outer tongue portion n2 is provided with a finger rest 34. The lower surface of the thickened portion 42 is formed flush with the lower surfaces of one side portion 41A and the other side portion 41B. A shallow groove 50 is formed on the lower surface of the thickened portion 42 along its entire length in the left-right direction. Multiple convex contact portions 52 are arranged in a row in the left-right direction at regular intervals within this groove 50. These convex contact portions 52 are positioned above the inclined wall portion 23. The reason for providing these convex contact parts 52 is as follows: Depending on the type of contents (for example, powdered materials such as flour), the contents may clump together while stored in the container 2. However, contact with the convex contact parts 52 on the top plate 40 helps to break up (crush) these clumps. These convex contact parts 52 also allow the contents to enter and exit the weighing chamber C smoothly.
[0023] From a suitable location on the top plate 40 (the other side 41B in the illustrated example), as shown in Figure 1(B), a partition wall 48 is vertically installed above the base end e of the inclined wall portion 23 and parallel to the base end e when viewed from below, with the top cover 30 in the first position P1. This partition wall 48 is designed so that by rotating the top cover 30 half a turn (180°), it can be moved to a position closer to the tip f of the inclined wall section 23 shown in Figure 3(B), and by rotating the top cover half a turn (180°) in the opposite direction, it can be repositioned to its original position (above the base end e) shown in Figure 1(B). Here, "above the base" refers to a position closer to the tip f as mentioned above, and it is sufficient if it is roughly near the base e and above the base e. As shown in Figure 2(A), both ends of the partition wall 48 in the left-right direction are connected to the inner cylindrical portion 32a of the upper cover 30. This partition wall 48 serves to separate the weighing room C from the second void B. The second void B refers to the portion of the space between the other side 41B and the top wall 16 that is closer to the second opening 46 than the partition wall 48. An entrance s from the second void B to the weighing room C is formed between the lower end g of the partition wall 48 and the base end e of the inclined wall 23. In Figure 4(A), the extent of this entrance s is shown by dashed lines. In the illustrated example, when the top lid is in the second position P2 shown in Figure 3(B), there is a vertical gap d when viewed from the front between the lower end g of the partition wall 48 and the tip f of the inclined wall portion 23. Even with this gap, when the container is inverted and shaken up and down during a large-volume dispensing operation, the contents will not enter the measuring chamber C. The lower end g of the partition wall 48 shall be positioned at a higher position than or at the same height as the tip f of the inclined wall portion 23. If the lower end g is positioned lower than the tip f, when attempting to rotate the top cover 30 from the first position P1 shown in Figure 1(B) to the second position P2 shown in Figure 3(B), the lower end g of the partition wall 48 will collide with the tip f of the inclined wall portion 23, hindering the rotation operation. The partition wall 48 is positioned such that, when the top cover 30 is rotated to the second position P2 shown in Figure 3(B), the lower end g of the partition wall 48 is located near the tip f of the inclined wall portion 23 when viewed from below. By doing so, when the measuring container is inverted from the state shown in Figure 3(B) and the contents of the container body 2 are discharged to the outside through the communication port 20 and the first void A located between the communication port 20 and the top plate 40, it is possible to prevent the inconvenience of some of the contents entering the measuring chamber C. Furthermore, "located in close proximity" means that, even when the measuring container is inverted while the top lid is in the second position, the lower end g of the partition wall 48 and the tip f of the inclined wall portion 23 are close enough when viewed from below that they do not allow the contents to enter from the vertical downward side. In the illustrated example, the lower end g of the partition wall 48 and the tip f of the inclined wall portion 23 overlap vertically, and there is no gap when viewed from below.
[0024] In the above configuration, when performing a small-volume dispensing operation, the first lid 54A is moved in the opening direction at the first position P1 shown in Figure 1(B) to open the first opening 44, and the container is inverted. This causes the contents of the container 2 to be dispensed to the outside through the communication port, the first cavity A, and the first opening 44. When the dispensing operation is complete, the container is returned to an upright position and the first lid 54A is closed. Next, when performing a large-volume discharge operation, the top lid 30 is rotated from the first position P1 shown in Figure 1(B) to the second position P2 shown in Figure 3(B), then the second lid portion 54B is moved in the opening direction to open the second opening 46, and the container is inverted. As a result, the contents of the container body 2 are discharged to the outside through the communication port, the second cavity B, and the second opening 46. When the discharge operation is finished, the container is returned to an upright position and the second lid portion 54B is closed. Furthermore, when performing the metering and dispensing operation, from the state shown in Figure 1, with the second opening 46 still closed by the second lid 54B, the container is inverted upside down as shown in Figure 4(A). The contents of the container body 2 then flow into the first cavity A through the communication port 20, fill the first cavity A, and then flow into the metering chamber C through the entrance s of the metering chamber C. The contents hit the convex contact portion 52 immediately after passing through the inlet s, breaking up any clumps of contents contained in the flow of contents. As a result, the surface u of the contents entering the weighing chamber C from the inlet s is leveled, becoming a nearly flat surface corresponding to the height of the tip f of the inclined wall portion 23 from the top plate 40. This enables more accurate weighing. The fluid (contents) flowing into the weighing chamber C stops upon hitting the partition wall 48, thereby measuring a certain amount of the contents. In Figure 4(A), the amount of contents measured is represented by the area of the rectangle defined by the imaginary line representing the entrance s of the weighing chamber C, the surface u of the contents, the top plate 40, and the partition wall 48. Next, as shown in Figure 4(B), when the container is returned to an upright position, the contents that were filled in the first cavity A fall into the container body 2 due to their own weight, and a certain amount of contents that was measured in the weighing chamber C slides along the upper surface of the inclined wall 23 and flows through the outlet t of the weighing chamber C to the second cavity B side. In the illustrated example, the outlet t of the weighing chamber C is formed in the gap between the lower end g of the partition wall 48 and the base end e of the inclined wall portion 23. After this, the second lid 54B is moved in the opening direction to open the second opening 46, and the container is inverted again, allowing a measured amount of contents to be dispensed from the second opening 46. After the dispensing operation is complete, the second lid 54B can be closed.
[0025] According to the above configuration and operation, a first opening 44 with a small opening area and a second opening 46 with a large opening area are made in the top plate 40 of the top lid 30 which is rotatably attached to the cap body 10, and by rotating the top lid 30, these openings can be positioned above the communication opening 20 which is opened in the top wall 16 of the cap body 10, so that small and large amounts of dispensing are possible. Furthermore, an inclined wall portion 23 is provided that slopes upward toward the communication opening 20 from the flat wall portion 25 of the top wall 16, and a partition wall 48 is provided vertically from the top plate 40, which can be positioned above the base end e of the inclined wall portion 23 and along the base end e when viewed from below by rotating the top lid 30, and since this partition wall 48, the inclined wall portion 23 and the top plate 40 define a measuring chamber C that communicates with the first opening 44 and the second opening 46, it is also possible to measure and dispense the contents. Since positioning means I are provided between the cap body 10 and the top lid 30 to position the top lid 30 at a first position P1 where the first opening 44 faces the communication port 20 and at a second position P2 where the second opening 46 faces the communication port 20, three different dispensing methods—small, large, and weighing—can be easily and reliably used.
[0026] Other embodiments of the present invention will be described below. In these descriptions, the same configurations as in the first embodiment will not be explained.
[0027] Figure 5 shows the configuration of the second embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment enables a fourth use by adjusting (reducing) the measured value, in addition to the three uses described above: small quantity, large quantity, and weighing. Specifically, in this embodiment, when the top cover 30 is in the second position P2, as shown in Figure 5(A), a lateral gap w is provided between the lower end g of the partition wall 48 and the tip f of the inclined wall portion 23 when viewed from below. This gap w is positioned opposite the communication opening 20. According to this structure, when the container is inverted from the state shown in Figure 5(A) to the state shown in Figure 5(B), the contents flow down into the measuring chamber C through the gap w. In this embodiment as well, the weighing chamber C is defined by a partition wall 48, an inclined wall portion 23, and a top plate 40. However, in this embodiment, since the second space B opposite the communication opening 20 and the weighing chamber C are separated by the partition wall 48, unlike the first embodiment, contents do not enter the weighing chamber C laterally along the top plate 42 as indicated by the arrow in Figure 4(A). Therefore, the amount of contents flowing into the weighing chamber C is limited, and the amount measured between the perpendicular line from the tip e of the inclined wall portion 23 (shown by the dashed line in Figure 5(B)) and the partition wall 48 becomes the actual measured value. From this state, when the container body 2 is inverted as indicated by the arrow in Figure 5(B) and returned to an upright position, the contents in the second cavity B return to the container body 2 side, and the contents in the measuring chamber C move along the inclined wall 23 towards the first cavity A side. Then, by opening the first lid 54A, the contents with the adjusted measurement value can be discharged to the outside. Therefore, compared to the first embodiment, this is suitable for measuring and dispensing small amounts of contents. Furthermore, by adjusting the size of the gap w in the design, the amount of contents measured in the weighing chamber C can be slightly altered and fine-tuned. [Explanation of Symbols]
