Description

[Detailed description of the invention] "Industrial application field" This invention relates to a container with a metering stopper for granules and powders.

"Problems to be solved by conventional techniques and ideas" For example, the container described in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 60-65247 is
A container body with an upright mouth and neck portion, a cylindrical portion fitted onto the inner surface of the mouth and neck portion, and the inner surface of the intermediate portion of the cylindrical portion and the outer surface of the lower end of the peripheral wall are integrally connected by a plurality of connectors. It consists of an inverted cup-shaped measuring cylinder on the inner surface of the upper part of the cylinder part, and a measuring body with a tapered cylinder part extending upwardly and inwardly from the lower end of the cylinder to reach the inner surface of the lower end of the measuring cylinder, and the container is held upright. By turning the measuring cylinder upside down, the inside of the measuring cylinder is filled with granules, etc., and by returning it to the upright position, a predetermined amount of granules, etc. is poured from inside the measuring cylinder into the gap between the inner surface of the lower part of the cylinder and the outer surface of the tapered cylinder. The tube is formed so that it can flow in and flow out from the upper end opening of the cylindrical portion.

However, the above-mentioned conventional container cannot reliably measure granules, etc.; for example, if the container is returned to an upright position before the inside of the measuring cylinder is filled with granules, etc., granules may not reach the specified amount. There are cases where a substance such as a substance is spilled out and taken without realizing it. Therefore, it is desirable to check the amount by first transferring the granules, etc., into the cap before taking it, but since there is a thread around the inner surface of the cap's circumferential wall for screwing into the mouth and neck. When the granules, etc. that have been put inside the cap are allowed to flow out, the granules, etc. will get between the threads of the cap. Therefore, if the cap is closed as it is, it will not collapse and will produce an unpleasant friction noise. There are drawbacks such as the fact that the granules etc. that enter the container become powder and then adhere to the outer surface of the container.

In this case, a receiving tube for transferring granules, etc., is slidably fitted inside the cylinder for screwing the cap, thereby preventing granules, etc. from getting into the space between the threads for screwing the cap. .

"Means for Solving the Problems" A container body 1 for storing granules or powder, in which a mouth and neck part 3 stands up from the upper end of the body, and a cylinder part 9 is fitted into the inner surface of the mouth and neck part 3. , an inverted cup-shaped measuring tube 8 is provided on the upper inner surface of the cylindrical portion 9 by integrally connecting the inner surface of the intermediate portion of the cylindrical portion and the outer surface of the lower end portion of the peripheral wall with a plurality of connectors 7 . 9 From the bottom end,
A metering stopper 5 with a tapered cylindrical portion 10 having a small diameter at the upper end rising upward and inward from the measuring tube 8 and up to the middle part of the cylindrical portion 9.
and an outer cylindrical body 1 having a lower portion fitted onto the outer surface of the mouth and neck and a first stopper protrusion 13 attached to the upper end of the inner surface.
2, a peripheral wall is slidably fitted to the upper inner surface of the outer cylinder, the lower end of the peripheral wall is brought into contact with the upper end of the cylindrical portion 9, and the upper surface of the engagement protrusion 17 attached to the upper end of the outer surface of the peripheral wall is It consists of an inverted cup-shaped receiver tube 16 that is engaged with the lower surface of the first stopper protrusion 13, and is engaged with the engagement protrusion 17 at the middle part of the inner surface of the outer cylinder body 12, causing the receiver tube 16 to fall off. A second stopper protrusion 14 is attached to prevent this, and the length of the outer cylinder body below the protrusion is made shorter than the length of the receiving cylinder 16 below the engagement protrusion 17.

"Operation" When the container is turned upside down from the state shown in Figure 1,
When the inside of the measuring tube 8 is filled with granules and then returned to the upright state, a fixed amount of the granules fall from inside the measuring cylinder 8 into the gap between the inner surface of the lower part of the cylinder part 9 and the outer surface of the tapered cylinder part 10. Thereafter, the receiver tube 16 and the outer tube body 12 are integrally removed from the mouth and neck part 3, and as shown in FIG. The weighed granules are transferred into the receiver tube 16 from the upper opening of the cylinder portion 9, and after confirming that the granules are in a fixed amount, the patient takes the granules, etc. After that, the receiving tube 16 is housed in the upper part of the outer cylinder 12, and the lower part of the outer cylinder 12 is screwed onto the outer surface of the mouth and neck.

“Example” The container of the present invention includes a container body 1, a metering stopper 5, an outer cylinder body 12
and a receiving cylinder 16, and each member is made of synthetic resin material.

The container body 1 has a neck part 3 with a screw thread 2 erected from the upper end of the body, and stores granules 4 or powders such as health foods and nutritional supplements.

The metering stopper 5 consists of two members, an upper cylinder and a lower cylinder, and the upper cylinder fits a first cylinder forming cylinder into the upper inner surface of the mouth and neck part 3, and the first cylinder forms a cylinder. The outward flange 6 attached to the upper end is engaged with the upper surface of the mouth and neck, and the inner surface of the intermediate part of the first cylinder forming cylinder and the outer surface of the lower end of the peripheral wall are integrally connected by a plurality of connectors 7... An inverted cup-shaped measuring cylinder 8 is provided on the upper inner surface of the first cylinder forming cylinder. Further, the lower cylinder is formed by fitting the upper part of the second cylinder forming cylinder into the lower inner surface of the first cylinder forming cylinder, and then inserting the first and second cylinders into the lower cylinder.
A cylindrical portion 9 is formed by the two cylindrical portion forming tubes, and a tapered cylindrical portion 10 having a small diameter at the upper end than the measuring tube 8 is formed from the lower end of the second cylindrical portion forming tube through an inward flange-like wall.
It stands upwardly inward and up to the middle part of the cylindrical part 9.

The outer cylindrical body 12 has a lower part screwed into the outer surface of the mouth and neck part 3, and first and second stopper protrusions 13 and 14 are attached to the upper end and middle part of the inner surface, and the lower part of the second stopper protrusion 14 is attached to the outer cylindrical body 12. The length of the outer cylinder is shorter than the length of the lower portion of the engagement protrusion 17 of the receiving cylinder 16, which will be described later.

The receiving tube 16 has a circumferential wall with a closed upper end slidably fitted onto the upper inner surface of the outer cylinder body 12, the lower end of the circumferential wall abuts the upper end of the cylindrical portion 9, and is attached to the upper end of the outer surface of the circumferential wall. The upper surface of the engaging protrusion 17 is engaged with the lower surface of the first stopper protrusion 13. Also,
As shown in FIG. 2, the receiving cylinder 16 is
