Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a container lid for dispensing applied to the mouth of a container, and more specifically, a dispensing hole and a dispensing hole for dispensing a relatively small amount of contents stored in the container. The present invention relates to a dispensing container lid having a large ejection hole for dispensing a large amount.

As well known to those skilled in the art, as container lids for containers containing powdered seasonings such as lake kernels, dispensing container lids having selectively exposed dispensing holes and large dispensing holes have been proposed. There is.

A typical example of such a dispensing container lid includes a lid body that is attached to the opening of the container, and a lid body that is attached to the lid body so that it can be used freely, as disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 51-13914. One example is a lid for a dispensing container, which is made up of a sliding body. The lid body has a top wall that covers the open upper surface of the container mouth, and a pair of internal ridges extending substantially parallel to each other at a distance are formed on the top wall. A small outlet hole and a large outlet hole are formed at intervals in the longitudinal direction of a pair of guide protrusions, while the sliding body extends longitudinally between the pair of inner protrusions on the top wall of the lid body. It is slidably attached to the When this sliding body is in the neutral closed position, both the dispensing hole and the large dispensing hole are covered by the sliding body, but when the sliding body is slid in a predetermined direction from the neutral closed position to the first open position, the dispensing hole and the large dispensing hole are covered by the sliding body. a dispensing hole is exposed, thus allowing a relatively small amount of the contents contained within the container to be dispensed from said dispensing hole;
When the moving body is moved from the neutral open position in the opposite direction to the predetermined direction to the second open position, the large opening is exposed, and the contents stored in the container are exposed to the large opening. It becomes possible to shake out a relatively large amount from the outlet hole. However, known dispensing container lids of the type described above do not maintain the sliding body sufficiently reliably in the neutral closed position, the first open position or the second open position, e.g. When the container is moved to the first open position to expose the dispensing hole and the contents are to be dispensed from the dispensing hole by shaking the container, the moving body moves from the first false open position to the neutral closed position and dispenses. The hole may be covered by the sliding body.

{mouth} The user moves the sliding body to the neutral closed position, the first
Even if the device is placed in the open position or the second open position, the user cannot reliably tactually recognize that the device has been placed in the desired position, resulting in inconveniences and drawbacks such as a poor feeling of use. The present invention has been made in view of the above facts, and its main purpose is to provide a new and excellent lid for a dispensing container that solves the above-mentioned inconveniences and drawbacks found in known lids for dispensing containers. be.

According to the present invention, a pair of inner hollyhock protrusions having inner surfaces extending substantially parallel to each other at intervals are formed on the husband wall, and the inner protrusions extend in the region between the pair of guide protrusions. A lid main body in which a small exit hole and a large exit hole are formed at intervals in the longitudinal direction of a pair of inner ridges, and a pair of guide ridges between the pair of guide ridges on the husband side wall of the lid main body. A first sardine is freely attached to the longitudinal direction of the internal protrusion of the sardines, and is moved in a predetermined direction from a neutral closed position that covers both the outlet hole and the large outlet hole to expose the outlet hole. and a moving body that is caused to be placed in an open position and slid from the neutral closed position in a direction opposite to the predetermined direction of the nucleus to a second open position that exposes the large exit hole. In the container lid; the moving body includes a spring means, and the spring means has protrusions formed at both ends thereof when viewed in a lateral direction that is substantially elongated with respect to the longitudinal direction of the pair of internal protrusions. The inner surface of each of the pair of mulberry inner protrusions is provided with a Two protrusions are formed on the lid body that are spaced apart in the longitudinal direction of the pair of guide protrusions and protrude inward in the lateral direction, and further, the lid body is provided with a sliding body that is connected to the first opening. a first stop surface that comes into contact with an appropriate part of the sliding body when the sliding body is placed in the position and prevents the boar moving body from further moving in the predetermined direction beyond the first open position; a second stop surface that comes into contact with an appropriate portion of the sliding body when the sliding body is moved to the second open position and prevents the sliding body from further moving in the opposite direction beyond the second open position; and when the sliding body is in the neutral closed position, each of the protrusions of the spring means is located between the two protrusions, and when the sliding body is in the neutral closed position, each of the protrusions of the spring means is located between the two protrusions, from the first
When the spring means is slid to the open position, each of the protrusions of the spring means gradually slides up the inner slope of one of the two protrusions, and then slides down the inner slope of one of the two protrusions. When the moving body is slid gradually down the outer inclined surface from the first open position to the neutral closed position, each of the protrusions of the spring means engages with the two protrusions. The moving body is made to slide from the neutral closed position to the second closed position by gradually moving up one of the outer inclined surfaces and then gradually sliding down the inner inclined surface of one of the two convex parts. In this case, each of the protrusions of the spring means gradually moves up the other inner inclined surface of the two protrusions, and then gradually slides down the other outer inclined surface of the two protrusions. , when the moving body is moved from the second open position to the neutral closed position, each of the protrusions of the spring means is pressed against the outer inclined surface of the other of the two protrusions. There is provided a container lid for dispensing, characterized in that it is configured to gradually rise up and then gradually slide down the inner slope of the other of the two convex portions.

A channel-like region 14 is defined between 2b. As will be described in detail later, a moving body 4 is slidably attached to this channel-shaped region 14. In the illustrated embodiment, the pair of guide ridges 12a and 12b extend opposite to each other and substantially parallel to each other to form the channel-shaped region 14.
It has inner surfaces 16a and 16b defining opposite sides of. A pair of mulberry inner protrusions 12 are provided on the bottom surface of the channel-like region 14 defined between the pair of mulberry inner protrusions 12a and 12b.
a and 12b at positions spaced longitudinally, i.e. in the direction indicated by arrows 18 and 20, there are five relatively small dispensing holes 25 in the case shown and one relatively large dispensing hole in the case shown. A hole 27 is formed.

As understood from FIG. 1, the small dispensing hole 25 and the large dispensing hole 27 extend vertically through the husband wall 6. On the other hand, in the illustrated embodiment, both sides of the channel-shaped region 14 are defined, as clearly illustrated in FIG. 1 and FIGS. 41A, 41B, and 41C. The inner surfaces 16a and 16b of the pair of guide protrusions 12a and 12b are provided with arrows 22 and 2 that are substantially perpendicular to the lateral direction, that is, the direction indicated by the arrows 18 and 20, at the middle portion in the vertical direction.
Projections 26a and 2, 6b that project inward in the direction indicated by 4 are formed.

Then, arrow 1 of each of the protrusions 26a and 26b
In the intermediate part in the directions indicated by 8 and 20 there is provided an actuating castle which acts on the spring means of the slide 4 which is mounted in the channel-shaped region 14 in a freely adjustable manner, as will be explained in more detail later. Each of the action castles has valleys 30a and 30b located at the center in the directions shown by arrows 18 and 20, and convex portions 31a and 32a located on both sides of the valleys 30a and 30b.
and 31b, 32b, and a stop surface 33a located on the outside of each of the convex portions 31a, 32a and 31b, 32b,
34a, 33b, and 34b. Convex portions 31a, 3
2a, 31b, and 32b each extend in the longitudinal direction of the guide protrusions 12a and 12b (i.e., the direction indicated by arrows 18 and 20).
a relatively long inner inclined surface that gradually projects laterally (i.e., in the direction indicated by arrows 22 and 24) inwardly toward the outside; and following the inner inclined surface, the guide ridges 12a and 12b extend longitudinally outwardly; It is preferable to have a relatively short outer inclined surface that gradually recedes laterally outward. Next, the moving body 4 will be explained with reference to FIG.

The moving body 4 in the illustrated example is composed of two parts: a moving body main portion 36 and a spring portion 38. Similarly to the lid body 2, the moving body main body 36 and the spring member 38 can also be formed by injection molding from a suitable synthetic resin material such as polyethylene or polypropylene. The sliding body main part 36 has an outer shape corresponding to the channel-shaped region 14 of the lid main body 2, and grooves 40a and 40b corresponding to the above-mentioned protrusions 26a and 26b of the lid main body 2 are provided on both sides of the sliding body main part 36. is formed.

The upper surface of the sliding body main part 36 has a knurling or uneven shape part 4.
2 is advantageously formed. Furthermore, the moving body main part 36 has a groove that penetrates between the grooves 40a and 40b in the lateral direction (i.e., the direction shown by arrows 22 and 24) at an intermediate part in the longitudinal direction (i.e., the direction shown by arrows 18 and 20). An extending closure 44 is formed. The spring member 38 is accommodated in the opening 44 of the moving body king portion 36, and constitutes a spring means that acts on the operating force of the lid body 2, as will be described later.

The illustrated spring portion 38 includes a centrally located annular portion 46 and arcuate portions 488 and 48 connected to both sides of the annular portion 46.
b, U-shaped portions 50a and 50b connected to both ends of each of the arcuate portions 48a and 48b, and U-shaped portions 50a and 50;
It has protrusions 52a and 52b formed on the outer surface of b. The length of such a spring member 38 in the longitudinal direction (i.e., the direction indicated by arrows 18 and 20) is substantially the same as the longitudinal dimension of the gate 44, and the dimension in the lateral direction (i.e., the direction indicated by arrows 22 and 2) is substantially the same as the longitudinal dimension of the entrance 44.
The dimension in the direction indicated by 4 is substantially the same as the lateral dimension of the opening 44. Therefore, when the spring member 38 is housed in the opening 44 of the sliding body main portion 36 as required, the protrusions 52a and 52b of the spring member 38 protrude laterally from the closing opening 44 to form the groove 40a. and 40
located within b. The spring member 38 is not limited to the form described above, and may take any other suitable form;
It is important that a and 48b) are elastically populated so that they can be elastically contracted in the transverse direction, ie in the direction indicated by arrows 22 and 24. Lid body 2 and moving body 4 as described above
In the shaker container lid, the stirring body 4 is slidably attached to the channel-shaped region 14 of the lid body 2, and
The lid body 2 itself is a mouth portion 54 of a container that accommodates powdered seasonings, etc.
(Fig. 2).

To be more specific, the body 4 consisting of the main body 36 of the floor moving body and the spring part 38 housed in the entrance 44 of the main body 36 is the main body 36 of the barrel moving body.
It is attached to the channel-shaped region 14 of the lid body 2 by mutually engaging each of the grooves 40a and 40b formed on both sides of the lid with each of the protrusions 26a and 26b of the lid body 2. In the normal case, the moving body 4 is positioned at the neutral closed position shown by the solid line in FIG. In this neutral closed position, as shown in Figure 4-A,
The protrusions 52a and 52b of the spring member 38 of the moving body 4 are located in the trough 3 in the action area of the protrusions 26a and 26b of the lid body 2.
Located at 0a and 300. The sliding body 4 is attached to the channel-shaped part 14 of the lid main body 2, and the spring member 38 is attached to the third part A.
When placed in the position shown in the figures, the spring member 38 is elastically contracted in the lateral direction (i.e., in the direction indicated by arrows 22 and 24), so that the protrusion 26 of the lid body 2
a and 26b are allowed to pass through the non-acting castles. sliding body 4
As shown in FIG. 2, the lozenge main body 2 to which the main body 2 is attached has a female thread 10 formed on the outer circumferential surface of the opening 54, which is formed on the inner surface of the skirt wall 8 so as to cover the opening 54 of the container. It is attached to the mouth part 54 by screwing it into the male thread 56 that is provided.
The open upper surface of the mouth portion 54 is covered. In the dispensing container lid 2 as described above, the sliding body 4 is normally positioned at the neutral closed position shown by the solid line in FIG. Both holes 27 are covered.

When the floor moving body 4 is in the neutral open position shown by the solid line in FIG. 3, the spring member 38 is in the position shown in FIG.
The spring members 38 are located in the troughs 30a and 30b in the action areas of the springs 38a and 26b, and the spring members 38 elastically hold the moving body 4 in the neutral closed position shown in solid lines in FIG. When it is desired to shake out a relatively small amount of the contents stored in the container, the sliding body 4 can be moved by placing a finger on the knurling or uneven portion 42 formed on the upper surface of the sliding body main portion 36. is moved in the direction shown by the arrow 18, and the two-dot chain line 4A is shown in FIG.
the first open position shown by .

When the sliding body 4 is moved from the neutral closed position to the first open position, the spring member 38 is moved from the position shown in FIG. 4-A to the position shown in FIG. 4-B. In this case, first of all, the protrusions 52a and 5 of the spring member 38 are
2b is gradually raised on the inner slope of the protrusions 31a and 31b in the action castle of the protrusions 26a and 26b of the lid main body 2,
Spring member 38 is therefore progressively elastically compressed in the lateral direction (ie, in the direction indicated by arrows 22 and 24). Next, the protrusions 52a and 52b of the spring member 38 are connected to the protrusions 31a and 3.
1b, the spring member 38 gradually expands elastically in the lateral direction, and then the protrusions 52a and 52b of the spring member 38 slide down the protrusion 26a of the lid body 2.
and stop surfaces 33a and 33b located at one end of the action area of 26b. Because of this, the protrusions 52a and 52b of the spring member 38 are aligned with the protrusions 31a and 31.
When the sliding body 4 is forcibly moved in the direction shown by the arrow 18 to the position where it is raised to the inner inclined surface of b and passes through this,
Thereafter, the elastic action of the spring member 38 promotes the movement of the sliding body 4 in the direction shown by the arrow 18, and thus the sliding body 4 is reliably moved in the direction shown by the arrow 18. Then, due to the elastic action of the spring member 38, the moving body 4 moves in the direction shown by the arrow 18 to the first position shown by the two-dot chain line 4A in FIG.
When the spring member 38 is moved to the open position, the protrusions 52a and 52b of the spring member 38 come into contact with the stop surfaces 33a and 33b, as shown in FIG. It is elastically held in the first open position shown by the dashed line 4A. When the sliding body 4 is placed in the first open position shown by the two-dot chain line 4A in FIG. is exposed.

Therefore, when the container is shaken with its mouth 54 facing down, the dispensing hole 2 exposes the contents contained within the container.
A relatively small amount is dispensed through 5. After the contents have been dispensed, the first
The sliding body 4, which is in the open position, can be returned to the neutral open position shown by the solid line in FIG. 3 by sliding it in the direction shown by the arrow 20.

When the moving body 4 is returned from the first open position to the neutral closed position, the spring member 38 moves from the position shown in Figure 41B to the position shown in Figure 4-A.
It is returned to the position shown in the figure. In this case, the protrusions 52a and 52b of the spring member 38 are connected to the protrusion 26a of the lid body 2.
The spring member 38 is gradually raised to the outer sloped surface of the convex portions 31a and 31b in the action area of the convex portions 31a and 26b, so that the spring member 38 is
that is, in the directions indicated by arrows 22 and 24). Next, the protrusions 52a and 52b of the spring member 38
gradually slide down the inner inclined surfaces of the protrusions 31a and 31b, so that the spring portion 38 is gradually elastically expanded in the lateral direction, and after that, [the protrusions 52a and 52b of the copying member 38]
are located in the troughs 30a and 30b located at the center of the action castles of the protrusions 26a and 26b of the lid body 2. Because of this, the moving body 4 is forced in the direction indicated by the arrow 20 to a position where the protrusions 52a and 52b of the spring member 38 raise the outer slopes of the protrusions 31a and 31b and pass through them. After the movement, the spring member 38
The movement of the sliding body 4 in the direction shown by the arrow 20 is promoted by the elastic action of the sliding body 4, and thus the sliding body 4 is reliably moved in the direction shown by the arrow 20. When the sliding body 4 is moved in the direction indicated by the arrow 20 by the elastic action of the spring member 38 to the neutral closed position indicated by the solid line in FIG.
As shown in the figure, the ridges 52a and 52b of the spring member 38 are located in the troughs 30a and 30b, and thus the moving body 4
is elastically held in the neutral closed position shown in solid line in FIG. On the other hand, if it is desired to dispense a relatively small amount of the contents contained in the container, the moving body 4 is moved from the neutral closed position shown by the solid line in FIG. 3 in the direction shown by the arrow 20, It is brought to the second open position shown by the two-dot chain line 4B in FIG.

When the sliding body 4 is moved from the neutral closed position to the second open position, the spring member 38 is moved from the position shown in FIG. 41A to the position shown in FIG. 4-C. In this case, the protrusions 32a and 32b and the stop surfaces 34a and 3 in the action areas of the protrusions 26a and 26b of the lid body 2 are
4b acts on the protrusions 52a and 52b of the spring member 38,
When the sliding body 4 is moved from the neutral closed position to the first open position, the sliding body 4 is surely moved to the second open position and is elastically held in the second open position. . When the moving body 4 is placed in the second open position shown by the two-dot chain line 4B in FIG. 27 is exposed.

Therefore, when the container is shaken with the mouth portion 54 facing down, the contents contained in the container are exposed through the large exit hole 2.
A relatively large amount is drawn through 7. After the contents have been dispensed, the second
The sliding body 4, which is in the open position, can be moved in the direction shown by the arrow 18 to return it to the neutral closed position shown by the solid line in FIG.

When the moving body 4 is returned from the second open position to the neutral closed position, the spring portion 38 moves from the position shown in FIG.
It is returned to the position shown in the figure. In this case, the lid body 2
The protruding portion 26 and the convex portion 32a in the action castle of 26b
and 32b act on the protrusions 52a and 52b of the spring member 38 to ensure that the sliding body 4 is returned to the neutral closed position in the same manner as when the sliding body 4 is returned from the first open position to the neutral closed position. Resiliently held in a neutral closed position. FIG. 5 illustrates a second embodiment of a dispenser lid constructed in accordance with the present invention. This second embodiment also includes a diamond body, generally designated by the number 102, and a sliding body, generally designated by the number 104.

the first open position shown by .

When the sliding body 104 is moved from the neutral closed position to the first open position, the pair of spring members 138a and 138b
is moved from the position shown in Figure 8-A to the position shown in Figure 8-B. In this case, first of all, the protrusions 152a and 1 of the pair of panes 138a and 138b are
520 rides up on the inner inclined surfaces of the protrusions 131a and 131b in the protrusions 126a and 126b of the lid body 102, so that the pair of spring portions 138a and 1380 move laterally (i.e., in the direction indicated by arrows 122 and 124). It is gradually elastically contracted. Next, the pair of spring members 138a and 138b gradually slide down the outer inclined surfaces of the convex portions 131a and 131b, and therefore the pair of spring members 138a and 1
38b is gradually elastically expanded laterally. When the sliding body 104 is in the first open position indicated by the two-dot chain line 104A in FIG. 7, the cover member 13
The inner surface of one of both end walls 161 (the one located on the left side in FIG. 7) of 9 abuts against the stop surfaces 133a and 133b defined by one side surface of the rectangular projections 135a and 135b, and thus the sliding body 104 further Sliding in the direction indicated by arrow 118 is prevented. Because of this, the protrusions 15 of the pair of spring members 138a and 138b
2a and 152b are raised to the inner slopes of the convex portions 131a and 131b and pass through them.
4 is forcibly moved in the direction indicated by arrow 118.
After that, the pair of spring members 138a and 138
The elastic action of b promotes the movement of the sliding body 104 in the direction shown by the arrow 118, and thus the sliding body 104 is reliably moved in the direction shown by the arrow 118. When the floor moving body 104 is moved to the first open position shown by the two-dot chain line 104A in FIG.
, and thus the moving body 104 is shown by the two-dot chain line 1 in FIG.
It is resiliently held in a first open position indicated at 04A. When the precision body 104 is placed in the first open position indicated by the 2' dotted line 104A in FIG. 125 is exposed. Therefore, when the container is shaken with its mouth 154 facing down, a relatively small amount of the contents contained within the container will be dispensed through the exposed outlet hole 125. After the contents have been dispensed,
The moving body 104 in the first open position shown by the two-dot chain line 104A in FIG.
All you have to do is return it to the neutral closed position shown by the solid line in the figure.

When the sliding body 104 is returned from the first open position to the neutral closed position, the pair of spring members 138a and 138b
The light is returned from the position shown in Figure B to the position shown in Figure 8-A.
In this case, the pair of spring members 138a and 138
The protrusions 152a and 152b of b correspond to the protrusions 131a and 131 on the protrusions 126a and 126b of the lid body 102.
The spring member 1 is gradually raised on the outer inclined surface of b.
38a and 138b in the lateral direction (i.e. arrows 122 and 12
4) is gradually elastically contracted. Next, the protrusions 152a and 152b of the pair of spring sections 138a and 138b gradually slide down the inner inclined surfaces of the convex sections 131a and 131b, so that the spring section 138 is gradually elastically expanded in the lateral direction, and then , a pair of spring members 138a
The protrusions 152a and 152b of 138b are the lid main body 10.
They are located in troughs 130a and 130b located at the center of two protrusions 126a and 126b. Because of this, the protrusions 15 of the pair of spring members 138a and 138b
2a and 152b are raised to the outer slopes of the convex portions 131a and 131b and pass through the sliding body 10.
4 is forcibly moved in the direction shown by arrow 120, after which the pair of spring members 138a and 138b
The elastic action promotes the movement of the sliding body 104 in the direction shown by the arrow 120, thus ensuring that the sliding body 104 moves in the direction shown by the arrow 120. When the moving body 104 is moved in the direction shown by the arrow 120 to the neutral closed position shown by the solid line in FIG. 7 by the elastic action of the pair of spring members 138a and 138b, the pair of Projections 152 of spring sections 138a and 138b
a and 152b are located in the valleys 130a and 130b, and thus the sliding body 104 is elastically held in the neutral closed position shown in solid lines in FIG. On the other hand, if it is desired to dispense a relatively small amount of the contents contained in the container, the sliding body 104 is moved from the neutral closed position shown by the solid line in FIG. 7 in the direction shown by the arrow 120, In Figure 7, two-dot chain line 1
04B to the second open position.

When the sliding body 104 is moved from the neutral open position to the second open position, the pair of spring members 138a and 138b
is moved from the position shown in Figure 8-A to the position shown in Figure 8-C. In this case, the protrusions 132a and 1 on the protrusions 126a and 126b of the lid main body 102 are
32b acts on the protrusions 152a and 152b of the pair of one copying members 138a and 138b, and also the moving body 10
4 is in the second straight position, the inner surface of the other end wall 161 of the cover member 139 (the one located on the right side in FIG. It abuts surfaces 134a and 134b.
Therefore, similar to when the silk moving body 104 is moved from the neutral closed position to the first open position, the sliding body 104 is reliably moved to the second open position and elastically moved to the second open position. Retained. The sliding body 104 is indicated by the two-dot chain line 10 in FIG.
When placed in the second open position indicated by 4B, the large opening 127 formed in the husband wall 106 of the lid body 102 is exposed, as can be easily understood from FIG.

Therefore, when the container is shaken with its mouth 154 facing down, a relatively large amount of the contents contained within the container are dispensed through the exposed large ejection hole 127. After dispensing the contents, the moving body 104, which is in the second open position shown by the two-dot chain line 104B in FIG. 7, is slid in the direction shown by the arrow 118 to the neutral closed position shown by the solid line in FIG. Just put it back in place.

When the accelerator 104 is returned from the second open position to the neutral closed position, the pair of spring members 138a and 138b are returned from the position shown in FIG. 81C to the position shown in FIG. 8-A.
In this case, the protrusions 132a and 132b of the protrusions 126a and 126b of the lid body 102 correspond to the protrusions 152a and 152b of the pair of spring members 138a and 138b.
b, and similarly to the case where the movable body 104 is returned from the first open position to the neutral open position, the movable body 104 is reliably returned to the neutral closed position and elastically held at the neutral closed position.
