The measuring member has a measuring chamber penetrating from the upstream side to the downstream side on the inner side thereof. The measuring member is biased via the spring member so that the inlet of the measuring chamber is aligned with the inlet of the plug body and the spring. A transparent member in which the outlet of the measuring chamber is aligned with the outlet of the plug body by pushing against the member,
An elastic tongue having a protrusion is provided on the side wall of the measuring member, and the protrusion is slidably engaged through a long hole formed in the side wall of the stopper main body.

栓本体の側壁に、長孔と平行にスリットを延在させることで、このスリットと長孔との間に、変形及び復元が可能な弾性変形部を構成すると共に、当該弾性変形部に、前記弾性舌片の突起を係止する突起を設けることができる。   By extending a slit in the side wall of the plug body in parallel with the long hole, an elastically deformable part that can be deformed and restored is formed between the slit and the long hole. A protrusion for locking the protrusion of the elastic tongue piece can be provided.

栓本体は、ヒンジを介して開閉可能に連結される蓋体を備え、当該蓋体に、前記取出し口を形成したものを採用することができる。   The plug body may include a lid body that is connected to be openable and closable via a hinge, and the lid body may be formed with the extraction port.

本発明では、栓本体に計量部材の配置空間を形成すると共に、この配置空間を挟んで上流側に形成した取入口と、下流側に形成した取出し口とを前後方向にずらして配置し、更に、当該配置空間に、上流側から下流側に貫く計量室を有する透明な計量部材をスライド可能に配置すると共に、この計量室の取入口が栓本体の取入口に整列するようにばね部材を介して付勢するため、容器本体を倒立させるだけの簡単な操作で、容器本体からの内容物を計量室に充填することができる。   In the present invention, an arrangement space for the metering member is formed in the plug body, and the intake port formed on the upstream side and the extraction port formed on the downstream side are arranged to be shifted in the front-rear direction with the arrangement space interposed therebetween, and In the arrangement space, a transparent measuring member having a measuring chamber penetrating from the upstream side to the downstream side is slidably arranged, and a spring member is provided so that the inlet of the measuring chamber is aligned with the inlet of the plug body. Therefore, the contents from the container main body can be filled into the measuring chamber by a simple operation of inverting the container main body.

As a result, it is possible to perform arbitrary weighing in which the measuring chamber is filled with the desired amount of content as well as the total weighing in which the entire weighing chamber is filled with the contents.

加えて、本発明では、計量部材の側壁に、突起を有する弾性舌片を設け、この突起を取出し栓の側壁に形成した長孔に通してスライド可能に係合させたことで、当該長孔が計量部材の押し込み及びその復帰を案内するため、計量部材を前後方向にスライドさせるときに生じるガタツキを小さく抑えることができる。このため、計量部材の押し込み及び復帰の動作をスムースに行うことができる。加えて、取出し栓の側壁に形成した長孔は、その長手方向端縁がそれぞれ、計量部材に設けた突起と接触することで、栓本体(計量部材)の取出し口を閉じたまま、栓本体(計量部材)の取入口を開いた状態に位置決めすることができる一方、栓本体(計量部材)の取入口を閉じたまま、栓本体(計量部材)の取出し口を開いた状態に位置決めすることができる。   In addition, in the present invention, an elastic tongue having a protrusion is provided on the side wall of the measuring member, and the protrusion is taken out through a long hole formed in the side wall of the stopper so as to be slidably engaged. Since this guides the pushing-in and return of the measuring member, it is possible to suppress the backlash that occurs when the measuring member is slid in the front-rear direction. For this reason, the operation of pushing and returning the measuring member can be performed smoothly. In addition, the long hole formed in the side wall of the outlet plug has its longitudinal end edge in contact with the projection provided on the measuring member, so that the outlet of the stopper main body (metering member) is closed, While the inlet of the (measuring member) can be positioned in the open state, the outlet of the plug body (metering member) is positioned in the open state while the inlet of the plug body (metering member) is closed Can do.

以下、図面を参照して、本発明の一形態である、粉末洗剤容器を詳細に説明する。   Hereinafter, with reference to drawings, a powder detergent container which is one form of the present invention is explained in detail.

符号1は、口筒部1a(図2参照)、肩部1b、胴部1c及び底部1dを有し、合成樹脂製のブロー成形品としてなるボトル形の容器本体である。口筒部1aの内側には、図2に示すように、内容物たる粉末洗剤の充填空間S1を外界に通じさせる通路Rが形成されている。また、口筒部1aの外側には、後述する取出し栓2を装着するためのねじ部1sが形成されている。   Reference numeral 1 denotes a bottle-shaped container main body having a mouth tube portion 1a (see FIG. 2), a shoulder portion 1b, a body portion 1c, and a bottom portion 1d, which is a blow molded product made of synthetic resin. As shown in FIG. 2, a passage R is formed on the inner side of the mouth tube portion 1a to allow the filling space S1 of the powder detergent as the contents to communicate with the outside. Further, on the outer side of the mouth tube portion 1a, a screw portion 1s for mounting an outlet plug 2 described later is formed.

取出し栓2は、容器本体1からの内容物を計量するための合成樹脂からなる計量部材3と、この計量部材3をスライド可能に保持する合成樹脂製の栓本体4とを有する。   The take-off plug 2 has a measuring member 3 made of a synthetic resin for measuring the contents from the container body 1 and a plug body 4 made of a synthetic resin that holds the measuring member 3 so as to be slidable.

栓本体4は、装着部4aを有し、この装着部4aの内側に口筒部1aに形成されたねじ部1sに対して螺合するねじ部4sが形成されている。   The plug body 4 includes a mounting portion 4a, and a screw portion 4s that is screwed into a screw portion 1s formed in the mouth tube portion 1a is formed inside the mounting portion 4a.

また装着部4aの内側には、通路Rからの内容物を取り入れるための取入口A1が形成されている。加えて、装着部4aの内側には、口筒部1aの内周面を密封する環状の周壁4bが設けられている。更に、環状の周壁4bの内側には、取入口A1を取り囲むように環状の傾斜面fが形成されている。傾斜面fは、通路Rからの内容物を取入口A1に導くように、取入口A1に向かって傾斜する。本形態では、取入口A1が軸線Oに対して偏心していることで、傾斜面fは、異なる傾斜角の傾斜面f1,f2を構成する。   An intake A1 for taking in the contents from the passage R is formed inside the mounting portion 4a. In addition, an annular peripheral wall 4b that seals the inner peripheral surface of the mouth tube portion 1a is provided inside the mounting portion 4a. Further, an annular inclined surface f is formed inside the annular peripheral wall 4b so as to surround the intake port A1. The inclined surface f is inclined toward the inlet A1 so as to guide the contents from the passage R to the inlet A1. In the present embodiment, the intake surface A1 is eccentric with respect to the axis O, so that the inclined surface f constitutes inclined surfaces f1 and f2 having different inclination angles.

装着部4aからは、図1に示すように、筐体壁4cが一体に起立する。この筐体壁4cは、図3に示すように、取入口A1が配置された側を前側とすると、この取入口A1よりも後側にあって、取入口A1を左右横方向(軸線O及び前後方向に直交する方向)に挟み込むように外側に配置された2つの側壁4c1と、これら側壁4c1の相互間の後方に配置された後方壁4c2とからなる。   As shown in FIG. 1, the housing wall 4c stands up integrally from the mounting portion 4a. As shown in FIG. 3, the housing wall 4c is located on the rear side of the intake port A1 when the side on which the intake port A1 is disposed is located on the front side. It consists of two side walls 4c1 arranged on the outside so as to be sandwiched in a direction perpendicular to the front-rear direction and a rear wall 4c2 arranged behind these side walls 4c1.

側壁4c1及び後方壁4c2は、使用者が人差し指等の4指と親指とで挟み込むピンチ部として機能する。このため、本形態では、図3に示すように、後方壁4c2を湾曲面で構成することで、4指と親指との間でのフィット感を向上させている。   The side wall 4c1 and the rear wall 4c2 function as a pinch portion that the user sandwiches between four fingers such as an index finger and the thumb. For this reason, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the rear wall 4c2 is formed of a curved surface to improve the fit between the four fingers and the thumb.

また、筐体壁4cの延在端には、図2に示すように、蓋体としての、取出し壁4c3が設けられている。取出し壁4c3には、図4に示すように、通路Rからの内容物を取り出すための矩形の取出し口A2が形成されている。取入口A1と取出し口A2との間には、図2及び3に示すように、計量部材3を配置するための空間(以下、「配置空間」)S2が形成される。取出し口A2は、図2に示すように、取入口A1よりも後方に配置されることで、取入口A1と取出し口A2とが、前後方向に対して同一軸線上に配置されないように構成している。   Further, as shown in FIG. 2, an extraction wall 4c3 as a lid is provided at the extending end of the housing wall 4c. As shown in FIG. 4, a rectangular outlet A2 for taking out the contents from the passage R is formed in the outlet wall 4c3. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, a space (hereinafter referred to as “arrangement space”) S <b> 2 for arranging the measuring member 3 is formed between the inlet A <b> 1 and the outlet A <b> 2. As shown in FIG. 2, the outlet A2 is arranged behind the inlet A1, so that the inlet A1 and the outlet A2 are not arranged on the same axis with respect to the front-rear direction. ing.

計量部材3は、図4に示すように、計量部3aを有し、その内側に計量室S3が形成されている。計量室S3は、上流側平坦面3bに形成された内容物を取り入れる取入口A3と、下流側平坦面3cに形成された内容物を取り出す取出し口A4を通じさせる矩形の貫通孔としてなる。これにより、取入口A3からの内容物は、その取出し口A4を通してそのまま取り出すことができる。   As shown in FIG. 4, the measuring member 3 has a measuring part 3a, and a measuring chamber S3 is formed inside thereof. The measuring chamber S3 is a rectangular through-hole through which an inlet A3 for taking in the contents formed on the upstream flat surface 3b and an outlet A4 for taking out the contents formed on the downstream flat surface 3c. Thereby, the contents from the inlet A3 can be taken out as it is through the outlet A4.

本形態では、栓本体4は、図2に示すように、計量部材3の取入口A3が取入口A1と整列する位置にあるときには、計量部材3の取出し口A4が封止されるように取出し壁4c3を設けている。これにより、取入口A1が取入口A3と整列することで、内容物が充填されるときも、計量室S3に充填された内容物は、取出し口A2を通して取り出されることがない。   In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, the plug body 4 is taken out so that the outlet A4 of the measuring member 3 is sealed when the inlet A3 of the measuring member 3 is in a position aligned with the inlet A1. A wall 4c3 is provided. Thus, the contents filled in the measuring chamber S3 are not taken out through the take-out port A2 even when the contents are filled by aligning the intake A1 with the intake A3.

図4に示す符号5は、計量部材3と後方壁4c2との間に介在させたばね部材である。ばね部材5は、計量部3aの後方壁3eに設けたマウント部3mと、筐体壁4cの後方壁4c2に設けたマウント部4mとで保持されることで、図2に示すように、計量部3aの取入口A3が、栓本体4の取入口A1と同軸線上に位置するように、計量部材3を付勢する。   Reference numeral 5 shown in FIG. 4 is a spring member interposed between the measuring member 3 and the rear wall 4c2. As shown in FIG. 2, the spring member 5 is held by a mount portion 3m provided on the rear wall 3e of the measuring portion 3a and a mount portion 4m provided on the rear wall 4c2 of the housing wall 4c. The measuring member 3 is urged so that the intake A3 of the portion 3a is positioned on the same axis as the intake A1 of the plug body 4.

本形態では、栓本体4は、計量部材3をばね部材5の付勢力に抗して栓本体4の配置空間S2に押し込んだとき、計量部材3の取出し口A4が取出し口A2と一致するように、当該取出し口A2を設けている。これにより、計量部材3を押し込んで取出し口A4が取出し口A2と整列すれば、取出し口A2を通して内容物を取り出すことができる。   In this embodiment, the stopper body 4 is such that when the measuring member 3 is pushed into the arrangement space S2 of the stopper body 4 against the biasing force of the spring member 5, the outlet A4 of the measuring member 3 coincides with the outlet A2. The outlet A2 is provided. Thus, if the measuring member 3 is pushed in and the outlet A4 is aligned with the outlet A2, the contents can be taken out through the outlet A2.

容器本体1から内容物を定量的に取り出すときには、図1に示す正立状態から計量部材3を押し込まないように取出し栓2(筐体壁4c)を逆手で掴んで、図5(a)に示すように、容器本体1を垂直に倒立させるように取出し栓2を反転させると、栓本体4の取入口A1から取入口A3を通して計量室S3に内容物を取り入れることができる(図2を逆さにした状態を参照)。   When quantitatively removing the contents from the container body 1, grasp the extraction plug 2 (housing wall 4 c) with a reverse hand so as not to push the measuring member 3 from the upright state shown in FIG. As shown, the contents can be taken into the measuring chamber S3 from the inlet A1 of the stopper body 4 through the inlet A3 when the outlet stopper 2 is inverted so that the container body 1 is inverted vertically (inverted FIG. 2). ).

内容物が計量室S3全体に充填された後は、図5(b)に示すように、計量部材3をばね部材5の付勢力に抗して栓本体4に押し込むと、計量部材3の取出し口A4が栓本体4の取出し口A2と一致することで、取出し口A2を通して、計量室S3内に充填された量だけ、内容物を定量的に取り出すことができる。   After the contents are filled in the entire measuring chamber S3, when the measuring member 3 is pushed into the plug body 4 against the urging force of the spring member 5, as shown in FIG. By matching the opening A4 with the outlet A2 of the plug body 4, the contents can be quantitatively taken out through the outlet A2 by the amount filled in the measuring chamber S3.

加えて、計量部材3には、図3に示すように、栓本体4(筐体壁4c)と共に握って配置空間S2内に押し込むための膨出部3dが設けられている。本形態では、膨出部3dは、同図に示すように、計量部3aよりも横幅を狭くすることで、指先の引っ掛けが更に容易になるように構成されている。また、膨出部3dには、図5に示すように、容器本体1と共に倒立させた状態で把持したとき、人差し指の内側部分に引っ掛かるフランジ部3fが一体に設けられている。フランジ部3fは、手からの抜け落ちを防止すると共に、計量部材3の押し込みを容易にする。このため、操作性に優れて使い勝手が良い。   In addition, as shown in FIG. 3, the measuring member 3 is provided with a bulging portion 3d for gripping together with the plug body 4 (housing wall 4c) and pushing it into the arrangement space S2. In this embodiment, as shown in the figure, the bulging portion 3d is configured such that the fingertip can be hooked more easily by making the lateral width narrower than that of the measuring portion 3a. Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the bulging portion 3 d is integrally provided with a flange portion 3 f that is caught by the inner portion of the index finger when gripped in an inverted state together with the container body 1. The flange portion 3f prevents the measuring member 3 from being pushed in, while preventing it from falling off from the hand. For this reason, it is excellent in operability and easy to use.

加えて、本形態では、図5等に示すように、フランジ部3fを膨出部3dに繋がる曲線で構成している。このため、本形態では、人差し指でのフィット感を向上し、更に使い勝手が良い。   In addition, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5 and the like, the flange portion 3f is configured by a curve connected to the bulging portion 3d. For this reason, in this embodiment, the fit feeling with the index finger is improved, and the usability is further improved.

同様に、栓本体4には、図5に示すように、容器本体1と共に倒立させた状態で把持したとき、人差し指と親指との間の指股部分(いわゆる、水掻き部分)に引っ掛かるフランジ部4fが、図3に示すように、横方向に広がりつつ、一体に設けられている。フランジ部4fも、手からの抜け落ちを防止すると共に、計量部材3の牽曳を容易にする。このため、操作性に優れて使い勝手が良い。   Similarly, as shown in FIG. 5, the stopper main body 4 has a flange portion 4 f that is caught by a finger crotch portion (so-called a water scraping portion) between the index finger and the thumb when gripped in an inverted state together with the container main body 1. However, as shown in FIG. 3, they are provided integrally while spreading in the lateral direction. The flange portion 4f also prevents falling out of the hand and facilitates checking of the measuring member 3. For this reason, it is excellent in operability and easy to use.

加えて、本形態では、フランジ部4fは、図4の側面図に示すように、凸状の湾曲面で構成されている。このフランジ部4fの湾曲面は、同側面図に示すように、取出し口A2側に向かって凸状に湾曲する。これにより、フランジ部4fの湾曲面が人差し指と親指との間の指股部分に形成された窪みに合わさることで、当該指股部分でのフィット感が向上するため、更に使い勝手が良い。   In addition, in this embodiment, the flange portion 4f is configured by a convex curved surface as shown in the side view of FIG. The curved surface of the flange portion 4f is curved in a convex shape toward the outlet A2 as shown in the side view. As a result, the curved surface of the flange portion 4f is combined with the depression formed in the finger crotch portion between the index finger and the thumb, so that the fit feeling at the finger crotch portion is improved, and the usability is further improved.

また、計量部3aは、図3及び4に示すように、その後方壁3eから後方に向かって延在すると共に、筐体壁4の側壁4c1に摺動可能に保持される側壁3hを有し、この側壁3hには、弾性舌片3tが一体に設けられている。弾性舌片3tは、側壁3hを貫通するスリット3sで形作られ、その先端部には、外向きの突起3pが設けられている。   As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the measuring portion 3 a has a side wall 3 h that extends rearward from the rear wall 3 e and is slidably held on the side wall 4 c 1 of the housing wall 4. The side wall 3h is integrally provided with an elastic tongue piece 3t. The elastic tongue 3t is formed by a slit 3s penetrating the side wall 3h, and an outward projection 3p is provided at the tip.

これに対し、筐体壁4の側壁4c1には、突起3pを内側に通して係合させる長孔4nが前後方向に延在するように形成されている。これにより、図5(a),(b)に示すように、長孔4nは、計量部材3の前後方向の移動を案内すると共に、その前方端縁4n1と後方端縁4n2がそれぞれ、突起3pと接触することで、計量部材3の前後方向の移動を規制するストッパとして機能する。   On the other hand, a long hole 4n is formed in the side wall 4c1 of the housing wall 4 so as to extend in the front-rear direction so that the protrusion 3p is engaged inside. Thereby, as shown in FIGS. 5 (a) and 5 (b), the long hole 4n guides the movement of the measuring member 3 in the front-rear direction, and the front edge 4n1 and the rear edge 4n2 are respectively provided with protrusions 3p. , It functions as a stopper that restricts the movement of the measuring member 3 in the front-rear direction.

加えて、本形態では、側壁4c1には、長孔4nを流通方向(軸線O方向)に挟み込むように配置されるとともに前後方向に沿って延在させた、長孔4nよりも幅の狭いスリット4Lが形成されている。スリット4Lは、長孔4nと平行に前後方向に沿って延在することで、長孔4nとの間に、変形及び復元が可能な弾性変形部4rを構成する。   In addition, in this embodiment, a slit having a narrower width than the long hole 4n is disposed in the side wall 4c1 so as to sandwich the long hole 4n in the flow direction (axis O direction) and extend along the front-rear direction. 4L is formed. The slit 4L extends in the front-rear direction in parallel with the long hole 4n, thereby forming an elastically deformable portion 4r that can be deformed and restored between the long hole 4n.

また、2つの弾性変形部4rの互いに向かい合う位置にそれぞれ、図5(a)に示すように、突起3pを係止する突起4pが設けられている。突起4pはそれぞれ、同図に示すように、突起3pを係止することで、計量部3aの取入口A3が、図2に示すように、注出栓本体4の取入口A1と一致する位置に計量部材3を位置決めする。突起3p及び4pの係止は、図1に示すように、使用者が計量部材3を一定以上の力で押し込むことで、突起3pが弾性変形部4rに設けた突起4pを押し開いて乗り越えるまで解除することができない。このため、持ち運び易くて使い勝手が良い。   Further, as shown in FIG. 5 (a), protrusions 4p for locking the protrusions 3p are provided at positions where the two elastic deformation portions 4r face each other. As shown in the figure, each protrusion 4p locks the protrusion 3p so that the intake A3 of the measuring portion 3a coincides with the intake A1 of the spout main body 4 as shown in FIG. The measuring member 3 is positioned in the position. As shown in FIG. 1, the projections 3p and 4p are locked until the projection 3p pushes open the projection 4p provided on the elastic deformation portion 4r and gets over when the user pushes the measuring member 3 with a certain force or more. It cannot be released. For this reason, it is easy to carry and easy to use.

本形態では、図2に示すように、栓本体4に計量部材3の配置空間S2を形成すると共に、この配置空間S2を挟んで上流側に形成した取入口A1と、下流側に形成した取出口A2とを前後方向にずらして配置し、更に、計量部材3の配置空間S2に、上流側から下流側に貫く計量室S3をスライド可能に配置すると共に、この計量室S3の取入口A3が栓本体4の取入口A1に整列するようにばね部材5を介して付勢するため、容器本体1を倒立させるだけの簡単な操作で、計量室S3に内容物を充填することができる。 In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, an arrangement space S2 for the measuring member 3 is formed in the plug body 4, and an intake port A1 formed on the upstream side with the arrangement space S2 interposed therebetween, and an intake formed on the downstream side. The outlet A2 is shifted in the front-rear direction, and the measuring chamber S3 penetrating from the upstream side to the downstream side is slidably arranged in the arrangement space S2 of the measuring member 3, and the inlet A3 of the measuring chamber S3 is provided. Since the urging is performed via the spring member 5 so as to align with the intake port A 1 of the stopper main body 4, the contents can be filled into the measuring chamber S 3 by a simple operation of inverting the container main body 1.

加えて、本形態では、栓本体4の取入口A1を取り囲むように当該取入口A1に向かって傾斜する傾斜面fが形成されていることで、口筒部1aの通路Rを通して取り出される内容物を計量室S3に効率的に導入することができる。   In addition, in this embodiment, the inclined surface f inclined toward the intake port A1 is formed so as to surround the intake port A1 of the plug body 4, so that the contents taken out through the passage R of the mouth tube portion 1a. Can be efficiently introduced into the measuring chamber S3.

そして、計量室S3に内容物を充填した後は、計量部材3に設けた膨出部3dを栓本体4と共に握って計量部材3を押し込めば、計量室S3の取出し口A4が栓本体4の取出し口A2と整列することで、容器本体1を再び正立させることなく、計量室S3に充填された分だけの内容物を取り出すことができる。   Then, after filling the measuring chamber S3 with the contents, if the measuring member 3 is pushed in by holding the bulging portion 3d provided on the measuring member 3 together with the plug main body 4, the outlet A4 of the measuring chamber S3 is connected to the plug main body 4. By aligning with the take-out port A2, it is possible to take out only the content filled in the measuring chamber S3 without bringing the container body 1 upright again.

加えて、計量部材3が透明であることで、計量室S3内の内容物を視認することができる。これにより、上述のように、計量室S3全体に内容物を充満させた全量計量は勿論、計量室S3内に所望量だけ内容物を充填させた任意計量も可能になる。   In addition, since the measuring member 3 is transparent, the contents in the measuring chamber S3 can be visually confirmed. As a result, as described above, not only the total amount measurement in which the entire content of the measurement chamber S3 is filled, but also the arbitrary measurement in which the desired amount is filled in the measurement chamber S3 is possible.

なお、任意計量としては、例えば、計量部材3を押し込むことなく、容器本体1を所望の角度で傾けた状態に倒立させることで、傾斜面f1又は傾斜面f2を案内にして、内容物を適宜取り入れ、計量室S3を透して、内容物が所望の量だけ取り入れられたのを確認したときは、計量部材3を完全に押し込んで取入口A3からの内容物の取り入れを遮断することで、使用者の要求する内容量だけ定量的に取り出す方法や、予め計量部材3を一定量だけ押し込んだ状態で容器本体1を倒立させることで、内容物を適宜取り入れ、計量室S3を透して、内容物が所望の量だけ取り入れられたのを確認したときは、計量部材3を完全に押し込んで取入口A3からの内容物の取り入れを遮断することで、使用者の要求する内容量だけ定量的に取り出す方法などが挙げられる。   As optional weighing, for example, the container body 1 is inverted in a state inclined at a desired angle without pushing the measuring member 3, so that the contents can be appropriately transferred with the inclined surface f 1 or the inclined surface f 2 as a guide. Taking in and passing through the measuring chamber S3 and confirming that the desired amount has been taken in, the metering member 3 is completely pushed in to shut off the taking in of the content from the inlet A3. A method of quantitatively taking out only the content required by the user, or by inverting the container body 1 with the weighing member 3 pushed in a certain amount in advance, appropriately incorporating the contents, and passing through the weighing chamber S3, When it is confirmed that the desired amount of content has been taken in, the metering member 3 is completely pushed in to block the intake of the content from the intake A3, thereby quantitatively determining the content required by the user. How to take out And the like.

また、本形態では、計量部材3に設けた膨出部3dは、計量部3aの横幅よりも狭く構成されていることで、指先を引っ掛けて牽曳しやすい。このため、計量部材3の牽曳を楽に行うことができる。   Further, in this embodiment, the bulging portion 3d provided on the measuring member 3 is configured to be narrower than the horizontal width of the measuring portion 3a, so that the fingertip can be easily caught and checked. For this reason, the metering member 3 can be easily checked.

加えて、本形態では、計量部材3の側壁3hに、突起3pを有する弾性舌片3tを設け、この突起3pを筐体壁4cの側壁4c1に形成した長孔4nに通してスライド可能に係止させたことで、当該長孔4nが計量部材3の押し込み及びその復帰を案内するため、計量部材3を前後方向にスライドさせるときに生じるガタツキを小さく抑えることができる。このため、計量部材3の押し込み及び復帰の動作をスムースに行うことができる。加えて、取出し栓4の側壁4c1に形成した長孔4nは、その長手方向端縁4n1,4n2がそれぞれ、計量部材3に設けた突起3pと接触することで、栓本体4(計量部材3)の取出し口A2,A4を閉じたまま、栓本体4(計量部材3)の取入口A1,A3を開いた状態に位置決めすることができる一方、栓本体4(計量部材)3の取入口A1,A3を閉じたまま、栓本体4(計量部材3)の取出し口A2,A4を開いた状態に位置決めすることができる。   In addition, in this embodiment, the tongue 3t having the protrusion 3p is provided on the side wall 3h of the measuring member 3, and the protrusion 3p is slidably engaged through the long hole 4n formed in the side wall 4c1 of the housing wall 4c. By stopping, the elongated hole 4n guides the pushing and returning of the measuring member 3, so that the backlash generated when the measuring member 3 is slid back and forth can be kept small. For this reason, the operation of pushing and returning the measuring member 3 can be performed smoothly. In addition, the elongated hole 4n formed in the side wall 4c1 of the extraction plug 4 has its longitudinal end edges 4n1, 4n2 in contact with the projections 3p provided on the measuring member 3, respectively, so that the plug body 4 (the measuring member 3) The outlets A1 and A3 of the plug body 4 (metering member 3) can be positioned in an open state while the outlets A2 and A4 are closed, while the inlets A1 and A3 of the plug body 4 (metering member) 3 are opened.
