Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a measuring container configured so that a user can easily and rapidly take out a desired amount of content without a need for the user to measure it while viewing a scale.SOLUTION: Two measuring recessed portions 121 and 122 differed in capacity are formed on a base portion 120 of a container body 101 along the same circumference. When the user takes out the desired amount of content, an extraction cylindrical portion 102 is moved to just above the measuring recessed portion 121 and 122 by rotating a housing portion 110, and the container body 110 is then tilted. Accordingly, only the content stored in the measuring recessed portion can be taken to the outside.

Description

本発明は、粉体、液体等の内容物を収容し、利用者が所定分量の内容物を取り出すことができる計量容器に関する。   The present invention relates to a measuring container that accommodates contents such as powder and liquid and allows a user to take out a predetermined amount of contents.

従来より、粉体、液体等の内容物を収容して、利用者が所望する分量のみを取り出す計量容器が知られている。このような計量容器としては、例えば、下記特許文献1に記載された計量容器が知られている。特許文献1の計量容器では、容器本体12の開口に計量室45が設けられている。そして、利用者が、容器本体12を略水平にした状態で、計量室45に設けられた目盛り54を目視しつつ、所望量の内容物を容器本体12から計量室45に移動させ、その後で、容器本体12を中心軸に沿って回転させることによって、該計量室45に貯留された内容物を外部に取り出すこととしている(引用文献1の段落[0019]−[0021]等参照)。   2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, measuring containers that contain contents such as powder and liquid and take out only an amount desired by a user are known.

しかしながら、特許文献1の計量容器には、利用者が容器本体12内の内容物を計量室45に一旦移動させた後で外部に取り出す必要があるため、内容物の取り出しに手間や時間がかかるという欠点がある。   However, since the user needs to move the contents in the container main body 12 to the weighing chamber 45 after taking out the contents in the measuring container of Patent Document 1, it takes time and effort to take out the contents. There is a drawback.

また、利用者が目盛りを目視して取り出し量を決定する必要があるため、老眼の高齢者等にとって扱い難いという欠点もある。   In addition, since it is necessary for the user to determine the amount to be taken by visually observing the scale, there is also a drawback that it is difficult for elderly people with presbyopia to handle.

以上の欠点により、特許文献1の計量容器は、例えば調味料等を収容して所望量ずつ取り出すための家庭用計量容器等には、不向きである。   Due to the above drawbacks, the measuring container of Patent Document 1 is unsuitable for a home measuring container or the like for containing a seasoning or the like and taking it out in a desired amount.

本発明の課題は、利用者が所望する量の内容物を簡単且つ短時間で取り出すことができ、利用者が目盛りを目視して計量する必要が無い計量容器を提供することにある。   The subject of this invention is providing the measuring container which can take out the quantity of the content which a user desires easily and for a short time, and a user does not need to visually measure a scale and to measure.

以下、本発明の実施形態に係る計量容器について、図面を用いて説明する。
[発明の実施の形態1]
Hereinafter, a measuring container according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
Embodiment 1 of the Invention

図1及び図2は、本発明の実施の形態1に係る計量容器の構造を概念的に示す図であり、図1は斜視図、図2は図1のA−A断面図である。   1 and 2 are diagrams conceptually showing the structure of a measuring container according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention, FIG. 1 is a perspective view, and FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA in FIG.

図1及び図2に示したように、実施の形態1に係る計量容器100は、容器本体101と、取出用筒部102とを備えている。   As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the measuring container 100 according to the first embodiment includes a container main body 101 and an extraction cylinder 102.

容器本体101は、収容部110とベース部120とを有する。   The container main body 101 has a housing part 110 and a base part 120.

収容部110は、例えば円筒状の側壁部111と、上面部112とを備え、下部は開口している。上面部112には、取出用筒部102を貫通させるための開口113が設けられている。また、収容部110の内側面下方には、ベース部120を回転自在に嵌合保持するための、環状の嵌合凸部114,115が設けられている。収容部110は、例えば透明樹脂によって形成することができる。側壁部111と上面部112とは、一体に形成されても良いし、個別に形成した後で固着されても良いし、取り外し自在に形成されても良い。   The accommodating part 110 is provided with, for example, a cylindrical side wall part 111 and an upper surface part 112, and the lower part is opened. The upper surface portion 112 is provided with an opening 113 for allowing the extraction cylinder portion 102 to pass therethrough. Further, annular fitting convex portions 114 and 115 for fitting and holding the base portion 120 rotatably are provided below the inner side surface of the housing portion 110. The accommodating part 110 can be formed, for example with transparent resin. The side wall portion 111 and the upper surface portion 112 may be integrally formed, may be fixed after being formed individually, or may be formed detachably.

ベース部120は、略円柱状に形成され、収容部110の底面開口を塞ぐように配置される。ベース部120の上面には、複数個の計量用凹部121,122が設けられる。計量用凹部の個数は3個以上でも良いが、本実施の形態では2個とした。本実施の形態では、計量用凹部121,122を略円柱状の窪みとしたが、他の形状でも良い。2個の計量用凹部121,122は、相互に異なる容積に設定されている。本実施の形態では、計量用凹部121の容積は小さじ一杯分に相当する容積(約5cc)とし、計量用凹部122の容積は大さじ一杯分に相当する容積(約15cc)とした。また、ベース部120の外側面には、収容部110の嵌合凸部114,115と回転自在に嵌合させるための、嵌合凹部123,124が設けられている。本実施の形態では、計量用凹部121,122を、収容部110を回転させる際の回転中心を中心とした円周に沿って、配置する。ベース部120は、例えば樹脂によって形成される。   The base portion 120 is formed in a substantially cylindrical shape and is disposed so as to close the bottom opening of the housing portion 110. A plurality of measurement recesses 121 and 122 are provided on the upper surface of the base portion 120. The number of measuring recesses may be three or more, but in this embodiment, the number is two. In the present embodiment, the measurement recesses 121 and 122 are substantially cylindrical recesses, but other shapes may be used. The two measuring recesses 121 and 122 are set to have different volumes. In this embodiment, the volume of the measuring recess 121 is a volume corresponding to one teaspoon (about 5 cc), and the volume of the measuring recess 122 is a volume corresponding to one tablespoon (about 15 cc). Further, fitting recesses 123 and 124 are provided on the outer surface of the base portion 120 so as to be rotatably fitted with the fitting projections 114 and 115 of the housing portion 110. In the present embodiment, the measurement concave portions 121 and 122 are arranged along a circumference centering on the rotation center when the accommodating portion 110 is rotated. The base part 120 is formed of, for example, resin.

取出用筒部102は、上下両端が開口したパイプ状の部材であり、計量用凹部121,122の何れかに貯留された内容物のみを選択的に外部に取り出すために使用される。このために、本実施の形態では、取出用筒部102の下側開口端131をベース部120の上面近傍に配置し、また、上側開口端132を収容部110の上面部112に設けられた開口113を貫通させて外部に露出させる。取出用筒部102は、上面部112に固定される。但し、取出用筒部102を、上面部112或いは収容部110全体と一体に形成しても良い。また、例えば取出用筒部102を折り曲げられた状態に形成して、収容部110の側壁部111から外部に貫通、露出させても良い。取出用筒部102は、例えば樹脂によって形成される。内容物が液体の場合には、取出用筒部102とベース部120の正面とがシーリングされることが望ましい。   The take-out cylinder 102 is a pipe-like member having both upper and lower ends opened, and is used to selectively take out only the contents stored in any of the measuring recesses 121 and 122. For this reason, in the present embodiment, the lower opening end 131 of the extraction cylinder portion 102 is disposed in the vicinity of the upper surface of the base portion 120, and the upper opening end 132 is provided on the upper surface portion 112 of the housing portion 110. The opening 113 is passed through and exposed to the outside. The extraction cylinder 102 is fixed to the upper surface 112. However, the extraction cylinder 102 may be formed integrally with the upper surface 112 or the entire housing 110. Further, for example, the take-out cylinder portion 102 may be formed in a bent state, and may be penetrated and exposed to the outside from the side wall portion 111 of the housing portion 110. The extraction cylinder 102 is made of, for example, resin. When the contents are liquid, it is desirable that the extraction cylinder 102 and the front surface of the base 120 be sealed.

なお、収容部110やベース部120の外側側面には、取出用筒部102が回転して計量用凹部121の真上に達した状態及び計量用凹部122の真上に来た状態を判別するための目印等を設けることが望ましい。   In addition, on the outer side surface of the accommodating part 110 or the base part 120, a state in which the take-out cylinder part 102 rotates and reaches a position directly above the measurement concave part 121 and a state that comes directly above the measurement concave part 122 are determined. It is desirable to provide a mark for the purpose.

次に、本実施の形態に係る計量容器100の使用方法について、図3を用いて説明する。図3において、図1及び図2と同じ符号を付した構成要素は、それぞれ図1及び図2と同じものを示す。   Next, the usage method of the measuring container 100 which concerns on this Embodiment is demonstrated using FIG. 3, the same reference numerals as those in FIGS. 1 and 2 denote the same components as those in FIGS. 1 and 2, respectively.

計量容器100に内容物を収容、補充する際には、まず、計量容器100を上下逆転させた状態で、収容部110からベース部120を取り外し、該収容部110に内容物を収容する。そして、ベース部120を収容部110に再び嵌合させることで該収容部110を塞ぎ、ベース部120が底側になるように計量容器100を反転させる(図3(a)参照)。   When accommodating and refilling the contents in the measuring container 100, first, the base part 120 is removed from the accommodating part 110 with the measuring container 100 turned upside down, and the contents are accommodated in the accommodating part 110. Then, the base portion 120 is re-fitted to the storage portion 110 to close the storage portion 110, and the measuring container 100 is inverted so that the base portion 120 is on the bottom side (see FIG. 3A).

一方、計量容器100から所望量の内容物を取り出す場合には、まず、収容部110をベース部120に対して回転させることにより、取出用筒部102を計量用凹部121,122のいずれか一方の真上に移動させる(図3(b)参照)。そして、計量容器100全体を傾けることにより、当該計量用凹部に貯留された内容物のみを外部に取り出すことができる(図3(c)参照)。   On the other hand, when taking out a desired amount of contents from the weighing container 100, first, the container portion 110 is rotated with respect to the base portion 120, so that the taking-out cylinder portion 102 is set to one of the weighing recesses 121 and 122. (See FIG. 3B). Then, by tilting the entire measuring container 100, only the contents stored in the measuring concave portion can be taken out (see FIG. 3C).

その後、ベース部120が底側になる状態に戻し、さらに、取出用筒部102を回転させて、当該計量用凹部の真上の位置からずらす(図3(a)参照)。これにより、収容部110に収容された内容物の一部が、当該計量用凹部内に新たに貯留される。   Thereafter, the base portion 120 is returned to the bottom side, and the take-out cylinder portion 102 is further rotated and shifted from a position directly above the measurement concave portion (see FIG. 3A). Thereby, a part of the content accommodated in the accommodating part 110 is newly stored in the said measurement recessed part.

以上説明したように、本実施の形態によれば、利用者は、内容物を取り出す際に、計量容器内に設けた計量室に一旦異動させる必要が無い。このため、本実施の形態によれば、短時間で簡単に、所望量の内容物を取り出すことができる。   As described above, according to the present embodiment, when the user takes out the contents, the user does not have to move once to the measuring chamber provided in the measuring container. For this reason, according to the present embodiment, a desired amount of contents can be easily taken out in a short time.

また、本実施の形態では、収容部110を回転させて、取出用筒部102を計量用凹部121,122の真上まで移動させるだけで、取り出される内容物の量を設定することができる。このため、本実施の形態によれば、利用者が目盛りを目視して計量する必要が無く(すなわち、目印等を目視して回転位置を確認するだけで良く)、特に老眼の高齢者等にとって扱いやすい。   Further, in the present embodiment, the amount of the content to be taken out can be set only by rotating the accommodating portion 110 and moving the take-out cylinder portion 102 to a position directly above the measurement concave portions 121 and 122. For this reason, according to the present embodiment, it is not necessary for the user to visually observe the scale and measure it (that is, it is only necessary to confirm the rotational position by visually observing the mark or the like). easy to handle.

更に、本実施形態では、取出用筒部の回転移動を、計量容器を机上等に載置した状態で行えるため、取り扱いが容易であると共に、かかる取り扱い中に計量容器を落下させてしまうおそれも小さい。   Furthermore, in this embodiment, since the rotational movement of the take-out cylinder part can be performed in a state where the measuring container is placed on a desk or the like, it is easy to handle, and the measuring container may be dropped during such handling. small.

なお、本実施の形態では収容部110とベース部120とを別個に形成して相互に回転する構成としたが、例えば収容部110の側壁部111とベース部120とを一体に形成して上面部112が回転する構成としても良い。   In the present embodiment, the housing portion 110 and the base portion 120 are separately formed and rotated with each other. However, for example, the side wall portion 111 and the base portion 120 of the housing portion 110 are integrally formed to form the upper surface. It is good also as a structure which the part 112 rotates.

また、図4の概念図に示したように、例えばS字状に屈曲した取出用筒部401の上側開口端を上面部112に回転自在に取り付け、利用者が握持して回転させる構成としても良い。このような構成によれば、取出用筒部401の下側開口端を計量用凹部121の真上まで回転移動させること(図4の符号401a参照)又は計量用凹部122の真上まで回転移動させること(図4の符号401b参照)により、これら計量用凹部121,122に貯留された内容物の一方を選択的に外部に取り出すことができる。   Further, as shown in the conceptual diagram of FIG. 4, for example, the upper opening end of the extraction cylinder 401 bent in an S shape is rotatably attached to the upper surface 112 so that the user can hold and rotate it. Also good. According to such a configuration, the lower opening end of the extraction cylinder 401 is rotated and moved to a position directly above the measuring recess 121 (see reference numeral 401a in FIG. 4) or is rotated to a position just above the measuring recess 122. By doing so (see reference numeral 401b in FIG. 4), one of the contents stored in the measurement recesses 121 and 122 can be selectively taken out to the outside.

すなわち、計量用凹部121,122と取出用筒部102の下側開口端131とを相対的に回転移動させるできる構造であれば、どのような構造であっても本発明に適用できる。
[発明の実施の形態2]
In other words, any structure can be applied to the present invention as long as it is a structure that can relatively rotate and move the weighing recesses 121 and 122 and the lower opening end 131 of the extraction cylinder 102.

The upper lid part 512 is configured to be screwed and fixed to the upper part of the side wall part 511, for example. The side wall part 511 and the bottom part 513 are integrally formed, for example. The container body 510 can be formed of a transparent resin, for example.

容器本体510の底面には、本体開口部514,515が設けられる(図6(a)参照)。これら本体開口部514,515は、回転軸520を中心とする同一円周上に配置される。容器本体510の本体開口部は、1個とすることも3個以上とすることも可能であるが、本実施の形態では後述の計量用筒部と同数の2個とした。   Main body openings 514 and 515 are provided on the bottom surface of the container main body 510 (see FIG. 6A). These main body openings 514 and 515 are arranged on the same circumference around the rotation shaft 520. Although the number of the main body openings of the container main body 510 may be one or three or more, in the present embodiment, the number of the main body openings is two, which is the same as the later-described measuring cylinder.

また、容器本体510の底面中央には、回転軸520が固定される。回転軸520は、容器本体510と一体に形成されても良い。   A rotation shaft 520 is fixed to the center of the bottom surface of the container body 510. The rotation shaft 520 may be formed integrally with the container body 510.

計量用回転器530は、容器本体510の底面側に近接して、配設される。計量用回転器530は、容器本体510の底面に対向する円盤状の回転板531と、この回転板531の外周に沿って該回転板531と直角に設けられた環状の外縁部532とを備える。回転板531の中央には、回転軸520を貫通させるための貫通孔535が設けられる。これにより、計量用回転器530は、回転軸520を中心として回転することができる。計量用回転器530は、例えば樹脂で形成される。   The measuring rotator 530 is disposed close to the bottom side of the container body 510. The measuring rotator 530 includes a disk-shaped rotating plate 531 facing the bottom surface of the container body 510, and an annular outer edge portion 532 provided at a right angle to the rotating plate 531 along the outer periphery of the rotating plate 531. . A through hole 535 for penetrating the rotation shaft 520 is provided at the center of the rotation plate 531. Thereby, the measuring rotator 530 can rotate around the rotation shaft 520. The measuring rotator 530 is made of resin, for example.

回転板531の底面側には、複数個の計量用筒部533,534が設けられる(図6(b)参照)。計量用筒部の数は3個以上でも良いが、本実施の形態では2個とした。本実施の形態では、計量用筒部533,534を円筒形としたが、他の形状でも良い。2個の計量用筒部533,534は、相互に異なる容積に設定されている。本実施の形態では、計量用筒部533の容積は小さじ一杯分に相当する容積とし、計量用筒部534の容積は大さじ一杯分に相当する容積とした。計量用筒部533,534は、上述の本体開口部514,515と同じ円周に沿って、同じ距離間隔で配置される。すなわち、本実施の形態では、計量用回転器530を適当に回転させることにより、計量用筒部533と本体開口部514、及び、計量用筒部534と本体開口部515を、それぞれ同時に対向させることができる。   A plurality of measuring cylinder portions 533 and 534 are provided on the bottom surface side of the rotating plate 531 (see FIG. 6B). The number of measuring cylinders may be three or more, but in this embodiment, the number is two. In the present embodiment, the measuring cylinders 533 and 534 are cylindrical, but other shapes may be used. The two measuring cylinder portions 533 and 534 are set to have different volumes. In the present embodiment, the volume of the measuring cylinder portion 533 is a volume corresponding to one teaspoon, and the volume of the measuring cylinder portion 534 is a volume corresponding to one tablespoon. The measuring cylinders 533 and 534 are arranged at the same distance intervals along the same circumference as the main body openings 514 and 515 described above. That is, in the present embodiment, the measuring cylinder 533 and the main body opening 514 and the measuring cylinder 534 and the main body opening 515 are simultaneously opposed by rotating the measuring rotator 530 appropriately. be able to.

ベース部540は、計量用回転器530の底面側に、計量用筒部533,534の下端と近接するように配置される。ベース部540は、回転軸520を貫通させるための貫通孔543を備え、この貫通孔543で回転軸520に固定される。ベース部540は、例えば樹脂で形成される。   The base portion 540 is disposed on the bottom surface side of the measuring rotator 530 so as to be close to the lower ends of the measuring cylinder portions 533 and 534. The base portion 540 includes a through hole 543 for allowing the rotary shaft 520 to pass therethrough, and is fixed to the rotary shaft 520 through the through hole 543. The base portion 540 is made of, for example, resin.

ベース部540には、ベース開口部541,542が設けられる(図6(c)参照)。ベース開口部541,542は、1個とすることも3個以上とすることも可能であるが、本実施の形態では計量用筒部533,534と同数の2個とした。ベース開口部541,542は、上述の本体開口部514,515と同じ円周に沿って配置される。但し、ベース開口部541,542は、本体開口部514,515と対向しないように配置される。また、本実施形態では、ベース開口部541を、対応する本体開口部514から反時計回り方向にずれた位置に配置し、且つ、ベース開口部542を、対応する本体開口部515から時計回り方向にずれた位置に配置した。後述するように(図6及び図7参照)、2対の本体開口部及びベース開口部のうち、一方を時計回り方向にずらして配置し且つ他方を反時計回り方向にずらして配置することにより、計量用回転器530を時計方向又は反時計方向に少量ずらすだけで該計量用回転器530から所望量の内容物を取り出すことができ、このため取り出し操作が簡単になる。   Base opening portions 541 and 542 are provided in the base portion 540 (see FIG. 6C). Although the number of base openings 541 and 542 may be one or three or more, in the present embodiment, the number of base openings 541 and 542 is two, which is the same as the number of measuring cylinders 533 and 534. The base openings 541 and 542 are arranged along the same circumference as the main body openings 514 and 515 described above. However, the base openings 541 and 542 are arranged so as not to face the main body openings 514 and 515. Further, in the present embodiment, the base opening 541 is disposed at a position shifted counterclockwise from the corresponding main body opening 514, and the base opening 542 is rotated clockwise from the corresponding main body opening 515. It was arranged at a position shifted to As will be described later (see FIGS. 6 and 7), by placing one of the two pairs of main body opening and base opening shifted in the clockwise direction and shifted the other in the counterclockwise direction The desired amount of contents can be taken out of the measuring rotator 530 by merely shifting the measuring rotator 530 by a small amount clockwise or counterclockwise, and thus the take-out operation is simplified.

次に、本実施の形態に係る計量容器500の使用方法について、図7及び図8を用いて説明する。図7及び図8において、図5及び図6と同じ符号を付した構成要素は、それぞれ図5及び図6と同じものを示す。   Next, the usage method of the measuring container 500 which concerns on this Embodiment is demonstrated using FIG.7 and FIG.8. 7 and 8, the components denoted by the same reference numerals as those in FIGS. 5 and 6 are the same as those in FIGS. 5 and 6, respectively.

まず、上蓋部512を取り外して、容器本体510に内容物を収容、補充し、その後、上蓋部512を側壁部511に再度ねじ込み固定する(図7(a)及び図8(a)参照)。   First, the upper lid portion 512 is removed, and the contents are stored and replenished in the container body 510, and then the upper lid portion 512 is screwed and fixed to the side wall portion 511 again (see FIGS. 7A and 8A).

そして、利用者が、外縁部532を握持して、計量用回転器530を回転させる(ここでは時計方向に回転させる)ことにより、本体開口部514と計量用筒部533、及び、本体開口部515と計量用筒部534を、それぞれ対向させる(図7(b)参照)。これにより、容器本体510に収容された内容物の一部が、計量用筒部533,534に落下する。上述のように、本実施の形態ではベース開口部541,542の位置が本体開口部514,515からずれており、このため、計量用筒部533,534の底面はベース部540の非開口部分で塞がれている。従って、計量用筒部533,534には、それぞれの容量に略一致する量の内容物が、それぞれ同時に貯留される(図8(b)参照)。   The user grips the outer edge 532 and rotates the measuring rotator 530 (in this case, rotates clockwise), whereby the main body opening 514, the measuring cylinder 533, and the main body opening are rotated. The part 515 and the measuring cylinder part 534 are opposed to each other (see FIG. 7B). Thereby, a part of the contents accommodated in the container main body 510 falls to the measuring cylinder portions 533 and 534. As described above, in the present embodiment, the positions of the base opening portions 541 and 542 are shifted from the main body opening portions 514 and 515, so that the bottom surfaces of the measuring cylinder portions 533 and 534 are not open portions of the base portion 540. It is blocked by. Accordingly, the measuring cylinders 533 and 534 store the contents of the amounts substantially corresponding to the respective capacities at the same time (see FIG. 8B).

ここで、計量用筒部533に貯留された内容物(すなわち、小さじ一杯分の内容物)を取り出したい場合、利用者は、計量用回転器530を反時計方向に回転させる。これにより、計量用筒部533の位置を、ベース開口部541の位置に一致させることができる(図7(c)参照)。このとき、計量用筒部533の上面は、底部513の非開口部分で塞がれている。この結果、計量用筒部533に貯留された内容物のみが、ベース開口部541から取り出される(図8(c)参照)。   Here, when it is desired to take out the contents stored in the measuring cylinder portion 533 (that is, the contents for one teaspoon), the user rotates the measuring rotator 530 in the counterclockwise direction. Thereby, the position of the cylinder part 533 for measurement can be made to correspond with the position of the base opening part 541 (refer FIG.7 (c)). At this time, the upper surface of the measuring cylinder portion 533 is closed by the non-opening portion of the bottom portion 513. As a result, only the contents stored in the measuring cylinder 533 are taken out from the base opening 541 (see FIG. 8C).

一方、計量用筒部534に貯留された内容物(すなわち、大さじ一杯分の内容物)を取り出したい場合、利用者は、計量用回転器530を、図7(b)の状態から時計方向に回転させる。これにより、計量用筒部534の位置を、ベース開口部542の位置に一致させることができる(図7(d)参照)。このとき、計量用筒部534の上面は、底部513の非開口部分で塞がれている。この結果、計量用筒部534に貯留された内容物のみが、ベース開口部542から取り出される(図8(d)参照)。   On the other hand, when it is desired to take out the contents stored in the measuring cylinder portion 534 (that is, the contents of one tablespoon), the user moves the measuring rotator 530 clockwise from the state of FIG. Rotate. Thereby, the position of the cylinder part 534 for measurement can be made to correspond with the position of the base opening part 542 (refer FIG.7 (d)). At this time, the upper surface of the measuring cylinder portion 534 is closed by the non-opening portion of the bottom portion 513. As a result, only the contents stored in the measuring cylinder 534 are taken out from the base opening 542 (see FIG. 8D).

内容物を取り出した後、計量用回転器530を回転させて図7(b)の状態まで戻すことにより、内容物が取り出された計量用筒部に内容物を再度貯留することができる。   After the contents are taken out, the weighing rotator 530 is rotated to return to the state shown in FIG. 7B, whereby the contents can be stored again in the measuring cylinder portion from which the contents have been taken out.

なお、容器本体510やベース部540の外側側面には、図7(b)〜図7(d)の位置関係(すなわち、計量用筒部533,534に内容物を貯留する状態、計量用筒部533の内容物を取り出す状態及び計量用筒部534の内容物を貯留する状態)を判別するための目印を設けることが望ましい。   In addition, on the outer side surfaces of the container main body 510 and the base portion 540, the positional relationship shown in FIGS. 7B to 7D (that is, the state in which contents are stored in the measuring cylinder portions 533 and 534, the measuring cylinder) It is desirable to provide a mark for discriminating the state of taking out the contents of the part 533 and the state of storing the contents of the measuring cylinder part 534.

以上説明したように、本実施の形態によれば、利用者は、内容物を取り出す際に、計量容器内に設けた計量室に一旦異動させる必要が無い。このため、本実施の形態によれば、短時間で簡単に、所望量の内容物を取り出すことができる。   As described above, according to the present embodiment, when the user takes out the contents, the user does not have to move once to the measuring chamber provided in the measuring container. For this reason, according to the present embodiment, a desired amount of contents can be easily taken out in a short time.

また、本実施の形態では、外縁部532を握持して計量用回転器530を回転させるだけで、取り出される内容物の量を選択することができる。このため、本実施の形態によれば、利用者が目盛りを目視して計量する必要が無く、老眼の高齢者等にとって特に扱いやすい。   Further, in the present embodiment, the amount of content to be taken out can be selected simply by holding the outer edge 532 and rotating the measuring rotator 530. For this reason, according to the present embodiment, it is not necessary for the user to visually measure the scale and measure it, and it is particularly easy to handle for elderly people with presbyopia.

本発明に係る計量容器は、例えば塩、砂糖、コショウ等の調味料用容器に使用できるだけでなく、化学薬品、医薬品等あらゆる分野の粉体等を収容する容器に適用することができる。   The measuring container according to the present invention can be applied not only to a container for seasoning such as salt, sugar, and pepper, but also to a container for storing powders in various fields such as chemicals and pharmaceuticals.
