The pair of inclined plates 28A are arranged at the center of the arbitrary amount swinging area A in which the communicating portion 22 is formed, and close both side portions except for the guide portion 28B.

As shown in FIG. 1, the inner plug member 20 is assembled into the cap body 10 by fitting the outer surface of the upper end side of the fitting tube 21 into the inner wall of the side wall 12 of the cap body 10. In this assembled state, the partition plate 18 is fitted and held between the pair of holding plates 25e on both sides thereof, and is protected from damage even when subjected to impact or the like. Further, the upper end of the partition plate 25c is in contact with the lower surface of the central top wall 13 and the side surface of the long side rib 19b of the partition rib 19.

The inside of the metering adjustment section 25 includes a metering chamber 26 formed in a space where the partition plate 18 and the partition plate 25c face each other, and a space where the partition plate 18 and the inner wall on the left side of the fitting tube 21 in the figure face each other.

At the upper end of the measuring chamber 26, as shown in FIG. 5, a minute measuring part M is formed, which is defined by a pair of short side ribs 19a, a partition plate 18, and a partition plate 25c.
At the upper end of the dispensing cap, the communication section 22 and the micro-measuring section M provided in the measuring chamber 26 communicate with each other through the notch hole 25d and the guide section 28B, and at the lower end of the dispensing cap, the micro-measuring section M provided in the measuring chamber 26 communicates with each other through the notch hole 25d and the guide section 28B. 26 and the temporary holding chamber 27 are communicated via a gap S formed in a portion where the lower end of the partition plate 18 and the inclined surface 25b of the metering adjustment part 25 face each other.

The dispensing cap having the above structure is used by being attached to the mouth tube part 2 by screwing the female screw 12c on the side of the cap body 10 to the male screw 3 on the side of the container body 1 (see FIG. 1). Note that the container body 1 may be any container as long as it has a shape to which a dispensing cap can be attached, and may be made of any material such as synthetic resin, glass, or metal.

Next, a swinging operation using the above-mentioned swinging cap will be explained.
FIG. 6 shows a quantitative dispensing operation, (a) is a sectional view of the dispensing cap in the upright position at the initial stage, (b) is a cross-sectional view of the dispensing cap in the tilted position at the measuring stage, and FIG. The subsequent quantitative dispensing operation is shown, and (a) is a sectional view of the dispensing cap in an erect posture in the temporary holding stage, and (b) is a sectional view of the dispensing cap in a tilted posture in the dispensing stage. Further, FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view of the dispensing cap showing an arbitrary amount dispensing operation.

(Quantitative drawing operation)
As shown in FIG. 6(a), in order to perform a quantitative dispensing operation, the second lid body 17 is set to the open state and the quantitative dispensing port 11b is opened (initial stage). Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 6(b), the container body 1 with the dispenser cap attached is placed in an inclined position with the dispenser opening 11b facing downward. Then, the contents P pass from the container body 1 through the bottom wall 25a and the inclined surface 25b that constitute the metering adjustment section 25, and reach the collection mechanism 28. Then, a portion of the contents P passes through the guide portion 28B that constitutes the collection mechanism 28 and directly enters the notch hole 25d. At the same time, another part of the contents P moves onto the back surfaces of the pair of inclined plates 28A constituting the collection mechanism 28, while sliding on the back surfaces of the pair of inclined plates 28A that are inclined downward in the inclined position. It falls into the guide portion 28B and reaches the notch hole 25d. That is, no matter which route is followed, the contents P passes through the guide portion 28B, reaches the notch hole 25d provided in the partition plate 25c, and further moves into the measuring chamber 26 via this notch hole 25d. do.

Therefore, for example, when the dispensing port 11b is in a tilted position, the dispensing port 11b is at a position shifted in the circumferential direction from the position directly below, and much of the content P does not go directly to the guide portion 28B, but instead goes to the back side of the pair of tilted plates 28A. Even if the particles move upward, they are collected on the back surfaces of the pair of inclined plates 28A, so that they can be moved to the guide section 28B. Therefore, the amount of content P required at the time of measurement can be supplied toward the notch hole 25d provided in the partition plate 25c.

Here, the notch hole 25d is formed to have a predetermined size (vertical and horizontal dimensions) to prevent a large amount of contents P from moving to the micrometering part M in the metering chamber 26. The amount of movement that can be made through the notch hole 25d during operation is limited. The amount of content P that can be moved to the micromeasuring section M at one time is determined by the opposing distance L1 between the pair of short side ribs 19a, the facing distance L2 between the partition plate 18 and the partition plate 25c (see FIG. 5), and the short side ribs. It is set in advance according to the height dimension of 19a. That is, by setting these dimensions in advance, the content P that moves into the micromeasuring part M through the notch hole 25d can always be a constant amount, and the content P using the micromeasuring part M can be kept constant. Minute measurement of P is possible (measurement stage).

In this embodiment, for example, the horizontal dimension of the notch hole 25d is set to 6 mm and the vertical dimension is set to 2.3 mm, and the opposing distance L1 of the pair of short side ribs 19a forming the micrometering part M is set to 6 mm. By setting the height dimension to 1 mm and the opposing distance L2 between the partition plate 18 and the partition plate 25c to 5 mm, the content P that can be measured in the micro-measuring section M is made into a micro amount (for example, about 0.3 g). However, these dimensions can be changed as appropriate according to the expected amount of content P to be dispensed in a quantitative dispensing operation to be described later.

Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 7(a), when the attitude of the container main body 1 is returned from the inclined attitude to the upright attitude, the contents P slide down the inclined surface 25b from the micromeasuring part M in the measuring chamber 26 and It moves into the temporary holding chamber 27 through the gap S (temporary holding stage).

Finally, as shown in FIG. 7(b), when the attitude of the container body 1 is changed from the upright attitude to the inclined attitude again, the contents P are dispensed from the temporary holding chamber 27 to the outside via the quantitative dispensing port 11b. (Issuance stage). Here, the amount of content P dispensed is the minute amount (approximately 0.3 g) weighed in the previous weighing step.
Also, at this time, as in the above-mentioned measuring step, the contents P are moved to the micro-measuring section M of the measuring chamber 26 through the notch hole 25d, are weighed, and are dispensed in the next dispensing step. .

As described above, in the quantitative dispensing operation, even if the quantitative dispensing port 11b is at a position shifted in the circumferential direction from the position directly below when the dispensing position is tilted, the required amount of contents P at the time of measurement can be dispensed. Since it can be supplied into the micro-measuring section M through the guide section 28B and the notch hole 25d, it is possible to always keep the measured value in the micro-measuring section M within a certain range. As a result, with the dispensing cap of the present invention, it is possible to stably dispense a fixed amount and minute amount of the contents P.

In the above-mentioned quantitative dispensing operation, when the container body 1 with the dispensing cap attached is repeatedly changed between the upright posture and the tilted posture, each time the container body 1 is placed in the tilted posture, a minute amount (approximately 0.3 g) is transferred. Contents P can be shaken out. Therefore, for example, if you want to shake out 0.6 g of content P, you only need to repeat the above operation twice, and if you want to shake out 0.9 g of content P, you need to repeat the above operation 3 times. That's fine. In other words, the desired dispense amount can be adjusted by the number of fixed dispense operations.

(Arbitrary amount drawing operation)
As shown in FIG. 8, after returning the second lid 17 to the closed state and setting the first lid 15 to the open state to open the dispenser opening 11a, the container body 1 is placed in the tilted position. Then, the content P in the container body 1 is transferred from the communication part 22 to the guide part 28B, or from the communication part 22 to the back surface of the pair of inclined plates 28A and then passed through the guide part 28B to the dispensing opening. 11a, an arbitrary amount of contents P can be dispensed from this arbitrary quantity dispensing port 11a.

FIG. 9 is a graph showing the measurement results of the fixed amount of shakeout, in which the horizontal axis shows the measurement number of the shakeout operation, and the vertical axis shows the shakeout amount [g] that is shaken out in one operation. Further, the solid line indicates the case of the dispensing cap of the present invention having a collecting mechanism, and the broken line indicates the case of a dispensing cap without the collecting mechanism as a comparative example.
As shown in FIG. 9, it can be seen that the dispensing cap of the present invention performs quantitative dispensing with a smaller error than the dispensing cap of the comparative example.

FIG. 10 is a vertical sectional view similar to FIG. 4 of a dispensing cap showing a second embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 11 is a bottom view of the dispensing cap according to the second embodiment.
The dispensing cap of the second embodiment differs from the first embodiment described above in the configuration of the collecting mechanism 28, and other configurations and effects are the same as those of the first embodiment. Therefore, hereinafter, the same members will be described with the same reference numerals, focusing on the differences from the first embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 10 or 11, the collection mechanism 28 shown in the second embodiment includes a pair of inclined plates 28A, and an inner edge 28a of each of the pair of inclined plates 28A to the lower surface of the top wall 11 of the cap body 10. The guide portion 28B is formed by a pair of introduction walls 28C extending toward the guide portion 28B. The guide part 28B is formed of a substantially rectangular cylindrical passage sandwiched between a pair of facing introduction walls 28C, and has an arbitrary amount dispensing port 11a at a position facing the guide part 28B in the height direction. In addition, the notch hole 25d and the micrometering part M are arranged at a position facing the guide part 28B in the radial direction.

In the second embodiment, the communication portion 22 and the notch hole 25d are directly communicated via a guide portion 28B consisting of a pair of introduction walls 28C. Therefore, when the container main body 1 with the dispensing cap attached is placed in a tilted position, the contents P passing through the guide portion 28B from the communicating portion 22 toward the notch hole 25d are exposed to the back surfaces of the tilted plate 28A and the top wall 11. It does not enter the space where the two face each other.
That is, a portion of the contents P is directly supplied from the communication section 22 to the notch hole 25d through the guide section 28B. Another part of the contents P is collected on the back surfaces of the pair of inclined plates 28A, and is further supplied to the notch hole 25d through the guide section 28B consisting of the pair of introduction walls 28C. Therefore, the amount of content P required at the time of measurement can be reliably supplied toward the notch hole 25d provided in the partition plate 25c, and as a result, a minute amount of the content P can be stably dispensed. be able to.
Further, when returning from the tilted position to the upright position, the contents P remaining in the guide portion 28B can be efficiently returned into the container body 1.

For example, in the above embodiment, a configuration is shown which has both the arbitrary amount dispensing port 11a and the first lid body 15 for dispensing an arbitrary amount, and the fixed amount dispensing port 11b and the second lid body 17 for dispensing a fixed amount. However, the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, and may be configured to include only the fixed amount dispensing port 11b and the second lid 17 for dispensing a fixed amount.

Further, in the above embodiment, the case where both sides of the partition plate 18 are sandwiched between a pair of sandwiching plates 25e arranged on both sides has been described, but a configuration in which the pair of sandwiching plates 25e are not provided may also be used. good.

Further, in the above embodiment, the case where the arbitrary amount dispensing port 11a is formed of one through hole and the fixed amount dispensing port 11b is formed of a plurality of (seven in this embodiment) through holes is shown and explained. The opening 11a may be formed with a plurality of through holes, and the quantitative dispensing opening 11b may be formed with one through hole.
