Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a granular stocker for storing granular materials such as cereals, and in particular, even when the amount of stored granular materials has pierced the bottom, it can be removed in almost one operation. The present invention relates to a granular material stocker.
[0002]
[Prior art]
For example, a rice bowl having a relatively simple structure is composed of a container body having an upper surface opened and a lid member for opening and closing the upper surface, and the rice stored therein is removed with a measuring cup having a round mouth. It comes to do by putting out.
Although the shape of such a rice bikine has several forms, the shape of the container body is a box shape with an open top surface, and the bottom surface is substantially flat.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Such rice vines are very useful because they are small, light, and inexpensive, but when the rice inside reaches the bottom, the cups, especially the measuring cups with a round mouth, do not work well. , Inevitably a considerable amount remains at the bottom.
It is impossible to take out the remaining rice unless it is troublesome to collect it in the corner and squeeze it with a spoon or the like, or turn the whole rice bin and put it in a suitable container, At that time, I often spill rice around.
That said, if you don't leave the rice on the bottom until the end, it will be unsanitary due to deterioration and insects.
[0004]
The present invention has been made in view of the above-described conventional problems, and provides a novel powder and grain stocker that can take out grains and other grains remaining on the bottom of a container body in almost one operation. The purpose is to provide.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve this object, the powder stocker according to claim 1 is provided with a container main body having an opening on the upper surface and storing powder and other grains, and a bottom top portion of the bottom wall of the container main body. And the upper surface of the receiver in a state of being received in the receiver insertion recess is the same height as the upper surface of the receiver insertion recess or It is characterized by being in a lower position.
[0006]
Since the inner bottom surface of the container body in this stocker is inclined downward toward the receptacle fitting recess formed on the bottom top, if the powder comes to the bottom, the remaining powder is inevitable It will only be what is in the receiver. Alternatively, even if there are a few fines that have not fallen into the receiver, they can be easily swept into the receiver by hand.
[0007]
Therefore, according to the granular material stocker of the present invention, when the storage amount of the granular material pierces the bottom and the remaining amount is reduced to the amount that can be accommodated in the receiver, Since it can be taken out without leaving anything, it is possible to easily take out the remaining powder and granule in almost one operation without sprinkling the powder remaining on the bottom with a spoon or turning the container upside down. Can do. In particular, when the granular material is food such as rice or flour, there is no need to worry that the old one will always remain.
[0008]
In the present invention, the upper surface of the receiver in the state where it is received in the recessed portion for receiving the receiver does not necessarily have to be the same height as the upper surface of the recessed portion for receiving the receiver. If this is the case, there will be no hindrance when squeezing out with a cup or the like, and there will be almost no spillage of powder when the receiver is finally removed.
[0009]
The granular material stocker according to claim 2 is the granular material stocker according to claim 1, wherein the acceptor is provided with a knob that protrudes inwardly, and the acceptor is received in the recess into which the receptor is fitted. It is characterized in that it is at a position lower than at least the upper surface of the receptacle-inserting recess in the state.
Therefore, the receptacle can be easily taken out by picking this knob, and since this knob is located at a position lower than the upper surface of the concave portion where the receptacle is fitted, it is an obstacle to scooping out the granular material with a cup or the like. There is no fear of becoming.
[0010]
The granular material stocker according to claim 3 is characterized in that, in the granular material stocker according to claim 1 or 2, the recessed portion for receiving the receiver has a shape with at least one vertical section and a bottom top portion. Is.
In this case, even if powdered material spilled when the receiver is taken out falls into the recessed portion of the receiver, the powdered material normally collects at the bottom top of the recessed portion of the receiver. You can easily take it out with a single stroke.
[0011]
The granular material stocker according to claim 4 is a granular material stocker according to any one of claims 1 to 3, wherein the granular material sown in a measuring container is sliced at the mouth of the measuring container. It is characterized by having a section.
Therefore, when the granular material is squeezed into the measuring container with a full amount, the mouth of the measuring container can be rubbed with the slicing part after the squirt is piled up somewhat.
[0012]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Below, one Embodiment which applied this invention granular material stocker to the rice container 1 is described according to drawing.
The rice container 1 is composed of a container body 3, a fixed lid 21, an opening / closing lid 25, and a tray-shaped receptacle 27, all of which are integrally formed of synthetic resin.
[0013]
[A. Container body] (FIGS. 1 to 4)
The container body 3 has a relatively deep box shape with the entire upper surface having an opening 5, the planar shape is substantially rectangular, and the peripheral wall 7 is slightly inclined so as to approach the inside as it goes downward, and its upper end. The part is a frame-like flange 7a projecting outward. The bottom wall 9 of the container body 3 is gently inclined so that the bottom top portion is at the center thereof, and a receiver fitting recessed portion 11 is formed at the bottom top portion.
[0014]
Receptor insertion recess 11 has a recumbent shape with both ends closed. That is, the recess 11 for receiving the receiver has a long rectangle along the longitudinal direction of the container body 3 when viewed from above, and the bottom thereof has a vertical section viewed from the longitudinal direction as shown in FIG. It has a circular arc shape that bulges toward the top, and an upward step surface 11a is formed at the opening.
A leg 13 protrudes from the lower surface of the bottom wall 9 so that the receptacle-inserting recess 11 is attached to the floor so that the posture of the container body 3 does not become unstable.
[0015]
[B. Fixed lid, open / close lid] (FIGS. 1, 3, and 4)
The fixed lid 21 is for always covering one end portion in the longitudinal direction of the opening 5 of the container body 3, and the flange portion 21 a that forms the three sides of the outer peripheral portion fits tightly to one end portion of the flange 7 a of the container body 3. By doing so, it is attached to the container body 3.
A finger insertion recess 21b is formed on the upper surface of the fixed lid 21 along a side portion where the flange portion 21a is not provided, and a dustproof wall 21c is formed on the front side of the finger insertion recess 21b. Further, a slide-off portion 21d is configured by the bottom surface of the fixed lid 21, that is, the back surface of the finger insertion recess 21b.
[0016]
The opening / closing lid 25 is for opening / closing a substantial opening portion of the opening 5 of the container body 3 other than the portion covered with the fixed lid 21, and the container is disposed via a pin 29 at a position opposite to the fixed lid 21. A closed position which is supported by the main body 3 so as to be rotatable, and closes the substantial opening as shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 3, and a substantially vertical position as shown by a solid line in the figure. It is moved between the open positions where is opened. When opening the opening / closing lid 25 at the closed position, the fingertip is put into the finger insertion recess 21b and the rotating end portion of the opening / closing lid 25 is lifted.
A slide-off portion 25a protrudes from a position near the rotation end on the inner surface of the opening / closing lid 25. The scraping portion 25a is for scraping the rice R sown in the measuring cup 31 at the mouth of the cup 31, and has a substantially U shape when viewed from the side.
[0017]
[C. Receptor] (FIGS. 1 to 4)
The receptacle 27 is sized to fit in the receptacle fitting recess 11 provided in the container body 3. In other words, the receiver 27 has a recumbent shape in which both end faces that are slightly smaller than the receiver insertion recess 11 are closed, and a thin outer flange 27a extending over the entire circumference is formed in the opening. Since the outer flange 27a is placed on the stepped surface 11a of the receptacle fitting recess 11, the outer flange 27a fits in the receptacle fitting recess 11. Therefore, in a state where the receiver 27 is housed in the receiver insertion recess 11, the upper surface of the receiver 27 is positioned at the same height as the inner bottom surface of the container body 3, that is, the bottom top portion of the upper surface 9 a of the bottom wall 9.
[0018]
The receiver 27 is integrally formed with a knob bar 27b extending across an intermediate portion in the longitudinal direction. This pick bar 27 b is located at a position lower than the opening surface of the receiver 27.
The rice bin 1 is configured as described above.
[0019]
[D. How to use] (FIGS. 3 to 4)
Next, the usage method of the rice container 1 will be described.
When storing the rice R in the container main body 3, the receiver 27 is placed in the receiver insertion recess 11 properly in advance. Accordingly, the receiver 27 is submerged in the bottom of the rice R stored in the container body 3 and, naturally, the receiver 27 is filled with the rice R.
If the rice R is still sufficiently left in the container body 3, the measuring cup 31 takes out a necessary amount and removes it. The rice R picked up by the measuring cup 31 is slid by the sliding portion 25a of the opening / closing lid 25 in which the mouth 31a of the measuring cup 31 is tilted forward as shown by a one-dot chain line in FIG. As shown by, by sliding with the sliding portion 21d constituted by the bottom surface of the fixed lid 21, the amount of the measuring cup 31 is fully cut.
[0020]
Further, when the rice R in the container body 3 comes to the bottom, as shown in FIG. 4, after the rice R around the opening of the receiver 27 is scooped out by the measuring cup 31, All the remaining rice R is recovered in the receiver 27 by sweeping the remaining rice R into the receiver 27. From this state, the receiver 27 is taken out as shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. This extraction is performed by picking the knob bar 27b with a fingertip. Thereby, normally, the rice R in the container main body 3 is taken out cleanly without leaving one grain.
The taken-out receptacle 27 takes out the rice R and returns it to the receptacle insertion recess 11.
[0021]
In addition, when the rice left on the bottom wall 9 or the rice spilled from the receiver 27 when taking out the receiver 27 falls into the receiver insertion recess 11, the rice inevitably becomes the receiver insertion recess 11. It collects at the bottom of the bottom of the bowl, so if it is about that amount, it can be scooped cleanly with a spoon.
[0022]
Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the specific configuration of the present invention is not limited to this embodiment, and even if there is a design change or the like without departing from the gist of the present invention. Included in the invention.
For example, in the embodiment, the entirety of the receiver is fitted in the recess for receiving the receiver. However, if the opening is shaped so that the opening fits in the recess for receiving the receiver, the entire receiver is not necessarily provided. There is no need to fit.
In the embodiment, a tray-shaped receiver is shown, but the present invention is not limited to this, and may be a receiver having another shape such as a bowl-shaped receiver.
[0023]
In addition, the shape of the container body and the shape of the receptacle in the present invention are not limited to those shown in the embodiment, and in some cases, the receptacle has an inner / outer double structure, and the granular material in the receptacle It is also possible to reliably prevent spillage.
And this invention can be widely applied as a granular material stocker for storing various things of a granular form or a powdery form not only in rice, but an industrial material etc. may be sufficient as a granular material.
[0024]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the present invention, when the storage amount of the granular material comes to the bottom and all the remaining amount is reduced to fit in the receiver, the remaining powder is taken out by removing the receiver. Grains can be removed without leaving a place.
[0025]
According to the second aspect of the present invention, the receptacle can be easily taken out by picking the knob of the receiver, and the knob is located at a position lower than the upper surface of the concave portion where the receptacle is fitted. There is no risk of getting in the way of craving things with a cup.
[0026]
According to the invention of claim 3, even if the powdery substance spilled when the receiver is taken out falls into the receptacle-inserting recess, the powdery substance is usually on the bottom top of the receiver-insertion recess. As they gather, they can be easily taken out with a spoon.
[0027]
