[Detailed description of the invention] "Industrial application field" This invention relates to an omnidirectional metering container for dispensing a fixed amount of powder, etc.

"Prior Art" For example, there is a known shaker container disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 42-20606, in which a tapered member circumferential wall having a small diameter and an opening at the upper end is fitted into an opening at the upper end of the container body. , and the peripheral wall hangs down from the periphery of the top wall,
A plurality of through holes are bored in the outer periphery of the top wall, and a cylindrical member having a partition wall opening at the bottom is suspended from the back surface of the top wall inside each of the through holes, and the opening at the upper end of the tapered member is attached. The lower part of the peripheral wall of the partition wall cylinder is fitted onto the outer surface of the peripheral wall of the tapered member so as to be located in the center of the opening at the lower end of the partition cylinder.

``Problems to be solved by the invention'' In the above conventional example, the dispense hole is always open, so dust etc. easily enter the container, and if the stored material is powder, the stored material may harden due to moisture. There was a simple flaw.

The object of the present invention is to provide an omnidirectional fixed-quantity dispensing container that allows the dispensing of a fixed amount of stored contents from any direction around the circumference of the container, and is formed so that the dispensing hole can be easily opened and closed. .

"Means for Solving the Problems" A container body 1 having a mouth neck 5 and a peripheral wall 7 are fitted and fixed to the mouth neck 5 of the container body, and a flange 8 is projected inward from the top of the peripheral wall 7. , a measuring chamber B having a V-shaped cross section is provided on the upper surface of the inner peripheral side of this flange 8.
is formed into a donut shape, and has a guide tube member 14 standing upright from the outer periphery side, and a top plate 15.
The lower part of the mounting peripheral wall 16 vertically provided from the back side of the periphery is fitted to the outer surface of the outer peripheral wall of the measuring chamber B to attach the mouth mounting member 2.
The top part is attached to the mounting peripheral wall 16 and has 18 groups of swing windows disposed at intervals over the entire upper circumference of the mounting wall 16, and a downward temporary storage chamber A located above the measuring chamber B is formed in the center of the back surface of the top plate 15. It is formed of a mounting member 3 and an operating barrel 4 that is fitted and mounted on the guide tube member 14 so as to close the outer surface of the group of swing windows 18, and is moved up and down by rotation or sliding to open and close the group of swing windows 18.

"Operation" The operation barrel 4 is rotated or slid to move up and down to open the group of swing windows 18. Thereafter, when the container is tilted in any direction in this state, the stored items in the container body 1 will pass through the opening of the inclined peripheral wall 9 into the temporary storage chamber A.
When the container is returned to its original upright position, the stored items in the temporary storage chamber A fall along the inner surface of the peripheral wall 19 of the storage chamber A and enter the measuring chamber B. The overflowing stored items are weighed by returning into the container body 1 through the opening of the inclined peripheral wall 9. Then, when the container is again tilted in an arbitrary direction, the stored items enter the temporary storage chamber A due to the above-mentioned action, while the stored items in the measuring chamber B are discharged to the outside through the group of 18 shakeout windows. Thereafter, the container can be shaken out any number of times by repeating the operation of tilting the container and returning it to the upright position. Once the desired amount has been dispensed, the operation barrel 4 is rotated or slid to move up and down, thereby closing the dispenser window 18 group.

"Example" In FIGS. 1 and 2 a and b, 1 is a container body containing powder, etc., and 2 is a mouth attachment with a measuring chamber formed in a donut shape and attached to the mouth part of the container body 1. A member 3 is a top mounting member that forms a temporary storage chamber and a draw-out window for stored items and is attached to the top of the mouth mounting member 2 so as to close the opening; 4 is a top mounting member that can be moved up and down from the mouth mounting member 2; It is an operating tube that is attached to open and close the swing window, and each of these parts is molded and manufactured from a synthetic resin material.

The container body 1 has a mouth part neck part 5, and this mouth neck part 5
A thread 6 is formed on the outer periphery.

The mouth attachment member 2 has a flange 8 protruding inward from the top peripheral edge of the peripheral wall 7, and an inclined peripheral wall 9 that tapers upward from the central opening peripheral edge of the inward flange 8. An engagement tube 11 with an engagement protrusion 10 protruding from the outer periphery of the upper end is inserted from the outer circumference of the
A taller holding cylinder 12 is connected to the outer circumference of the engagement cylinder 11, and a guide cylinder member 14, which is a spiral cylinder with a threaded groove 13 formed on the inner periphery, is connected to the outer circumference of the holding cylinder 12. The screw groove on the inner periphery of the peripheral wall 7 is screwed into the screw thread 6 to be screwed onto the outer surface of the neck 5 of the container body.

The top mounting member 3 has a mounting peripheral wall 16 hanging from the back surface near the periphery of the top plate 15, and this peripheral wall 16 is inserted between the engagement tube 11 and the holding tube 12, and the engagement protrusion 17 on the inner circumference is inserted. It engages with the engagement protrusion 10 on the engagement tube 11 side and is attached and fixed to the top of the mouth attachment member 2, and opens a large number of groups of swing windows 18 at intervals over the entire upper circumference of the mounting peripheral wall 16. A hanging peripheral wall 19 having an opening larger in diameter than the opening at the upper end of the inclined peripheral wall 9 is provided inwardly of the mounting peripheral wall 16 . This hanging peripheral wall 19 is a temporary storage room A for stored items.
The lower part of the mounting peripheral wall 16 forms, together with the inclined peripheral wall 9, a donut-shaped measuring chamber B with a V-shaped cross section. In this case, the engagement tube 11 may be made somewhat taller, and the measurement chamber B may be formed by the engagement tube 11 and the inclined peripheral wall 9. The circumferential surface of the top plate 15 is formed into an engaging surface that is inclined diagonally inward and downward.

The operation tube 4 has an inward flange 21 protruding from the top peripheral edge of an external circumferential wall 20 that is loosely fitted onto the outer surface of the circumferential wall 7 of the mouth mounting member 2.
A screw tube 22 is vertically disposed from the inner circumferential edge to be screwed onto the inner surface of the guide tube member 14 to close the group of swing windows 18 from the outer surface. It is formed on the engagement surface of the corresponding slope that joins the.
