Description

  The present invention relates to a cap with a measuring cup that is detachably attached to the mouth of a container and enables quantitative dispensing of the contents in the container.

  Some washing detergents, softeners, and the like that have a fixed amount of use are equipped with a measuring cup so that quantitative dispensing can be performed when the contents are taken out from the container.

The measuring cup is a type that once removes from the mouth of the container and pours the contents in the container and measures, or a type that measures by tilting or inverting the container while it is attached to the mouth of the container, etc. Various things have been proposed so far (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
JP 2005-212881 A

  By the way, even in containers equipped with measuring cups, seasoning materials such as soy sauce and mirin sometimes dispense contents without strict weighing. In such situations, remove the measuring cups one by one. At present, there is no cap that can quickly respond to such a situation.

  An object of the present invention is to propose a novel cap with a measuring cup that can dispense the contents without removing the cup even when there is no need for measuring.

The present invention is a cap that includes a measuring cup and is detachably attached to the mouth of a container,
It has a spout for discharging the contents in the container to the outside via a spout nozzle with a cylindrical slit provided in the mouth of the container and forming a notch extending from the tip to the base . It consists of a wall that forms the bottom of the measuring cup, and a cylinder that is connected to this wall and linked to the mouth of the container,
Provided on one surface of the wall portion is an inner cylinder portion that surrounds the spout inside the cylinder body and forms a storage space for the contents therein.
A weighing device characterized in that a lid body is provided on the other surface of the wall portion, which is pivotally connected via a hinge disposed on the side where the slit is provided, so that the spout can be closed and opened. It is a cap with a cup.

  In the cap with a measuring cup having the above-described configuration, it is preferable that the inner cylinder portion is provided with a lip that elastically abuts against the mouth side inner wall surface of the container to maintain a liquid tight state.

  A hinge-type lid is provided at a portion corresponding to the bottom wall of the measuring cup, and the contents can be poured out without removing the measuring cup by opening the lid.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described more specifically with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a sectional view showing an embodiment of a cap with a measuring cup according to the present invention.

  In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a mouth portion of a container for storing contents, and 2 denotes a dispensing nozzle screwed to the mouth portion 1 of the container. A pouring cylinder 2b having a liquid return slit S is provided inside the mouth portion 2a of the pouring nozzle 2, and the pouring nozzle 2 constitutes a part of the container.

  Reference numeral 3 denotes a cap with a measuring cup that is detachably attached to the mouth portion 1 of the container or a portion corresponding to the mouth portion 1 (in the illustrated case, the mouth portion 2a of the dispensing nozzle 2). This cap 3 with a measuring cup has a spout n for discharging the contents in the container to the outside and has a wall 3a that forms the bottom of the measuring cup, and is connected to the wall 3a integrally with the mouth 1 of the container. It consists of the cylinder 3b linked to (the mouth part 2a of the extraction nozzle 2).

  Reference numeral 4 denotes an inner cylinder portion provided integrally on one surface of the wall portion 3a. The inner cylinder portion 4 is formed so as to surround the spout n inside the cylinder body 3b, and forms a storage space M (see FIG. 2) for the contents therein. The distal end portion of the inner cylinder portion 4 has a lip 4a that elastically abuts against the mouth wall surface of the dispensing nozzle 2 and maintains a liquid-tight state.

  Reference numeral 5 denotes a lid provided on the other surface of the wall 3a. The lid 5 is connected to the wall portion 3a through a hinge h so as to be opened and closed, and the spout n can be closed by fitting the convex portion 5a to the spout n. Furthermore, 6 is a fitting cylinder that is integrally provided on the wall 3a and is fitted at the tip of the dispensing cylinder 2b of the dispensing nozzle 2. The fitting cylinder 6 is useful for continuation of the flow path through which the contents are passed, and thus the contents can be stably poured out.

  To quantitatively dispense the contents in the container, as shown in FIG. 2, the cap 3 with the measuring cup is removed and the contents in the container are poured into the storage space M of the cap 3 with the measuring cup.

  In the optional pouring that does not require the constant pouring, as shown in FIG. 3, the lid 5 is opened, the pouring port n is opened, and the container is tilted.

  The cap with the measuring cup according to the present invention, as described above, can dispense the contents only by opening the lid 5 connected to the hinge h when the quantitative dispensing is not required. Easy to use because it can be used.

  FIG. 4 shows another embodiment of a cap with a measuring cup according to the present invention. The wall 3a forming the bottom of the measuring cup and the cylindrical body 3b can be separated as shown in the drawing and can be connected by an undercut.

  The cap with a measuring cup according to the present invention is manufactured by injection molding a synthetic resin, but the material and molding method of the cap are not particularly limited.

In addition, a liquid return slit S is provided in the extraction cylinder 2b of the extraction nozzle 2. In this case, the hinge h is provided on the slit S side in order to enable the content to be stably extracted.

  An easy-to-use cap with a measuring cup can be provided that can dispense contents with one touch when measurement is not required.

It is the figure which showed embodiment of the cap with a measuring cup according to this invention. It is the figure which showed the condition in the case of performing quantitative extraction using the cap shown in FIG. It is the figure which showed the condition in the case of pouring out without measuring using the cap shown in FIG. It is the figure which showed other embodiment of the cap with a measuring cup according to this invention.
