Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to, for example, soy sauce,
The present invention relates to a liquid storage container for pouring seasonings such as vinegar, food oil, chili oil, and sauce, and is generally referred to as soy sauce or the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In general, a conventional liquid storage container is used to put a liquid seasoning or the like into a container, hold the container by hand, tilt the container, and pour out a required amount from a single spout. there were.

[0003]

As described above, conventionally, a required amount of a liquid seasoning or the like is conventionally poured out by hand. However, when a small amount is poured out, delicate handing is required. I couldn't help but overpour. Especially for infants and the physically handicapped. Conventionally, when it was desired to prevent an excessive amount of pouring, it was necessary to once put it in another container, check the amount, and then pour twice. The present invention has been made in view of such conventional problems, and has a simple structure.
In addition, it is possible to pour an appropriate amount according to the amount to be dispensed with one touch, and liquid storage that does not require excessive supply, impairs taste by pouring more seasoning than necessary, and inevitably ingest excessive salt etc. It is intended to realize a container.

[0004]

An opening is formed in a container body in which a liquid is stored, and a storage chamber is provided in the opening for sucking and temporarily storing the liquid stored in the container body. The liquid storage container is provided with the attached auxiliary dispenser detachably.

In the present invention, an opening is opened in the liquid container main body, and an auxiliary dispenser for sucking and temporarily storing the liquid stored in the container main body is detachably attached to the opening. Therefore, when expecting a delicate amount of
You can pour an appropriate amount with one touch.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1 is a longitudinal sectional view of a liquid container having a bellows-shaped suction operation section of an auxiliary pouring device, and FIG. FIG. 3 is a longitudinal sectional view of a liquid storage container in which the suction operation portion of the auxiliary dispenser is a spindle type bag body, and FIG. 3 is a liquid storage container in which the suction operation portion of the auxiliary dispenser is a swelling type body.

In these figures, reference numeral 1 denotes a transparent glass or plastic container main body, and a cap 2 is fastened by a screw 3 to an upper opening thereof.

Reference numeral 4 denotes an O-ring for preventing leakage, and the tightness of the cap 2 is maintained by tightening the cap 2.

[0009] A spout 5 communicating with the inside of the cap 2 is opened on the side in a substantially horizontal direction, and an insertion opening 7 through which an auxiliary dispenser 6 is inserted vertically penetrates the top. The two spouts 5 may be provided in a direction substantially at 180 °.

The auxiliary dispenser 6 comprises a suction operation section 8 at the upper part, a liquid storage chamber 9 at the center and a suction port 10 at the lower part.

The suction operation section 8 has a closed hollow body that reduces its volume when pressed by a finger and restores its original volume by its own elastic restoring force when the pressing force is released.

The storage chamber 9 is a space in which the liquid seasoning sucked up by pressing the suction operation unit 8 is temporarily stored, and may be appropriately scaled (FIG. 1). .

The suction port 10 is formed of a relatively thin tube communicating with the storage chamber 9 and extending almost to the vicinity of the bottom surface of the container body 1.

The flange 12 is fixed to the outer diameter of the storage chamber 9, and functions as a stopper and a dust cover when the auxiliary dispenser 6 is inserted into and held by the cap 2.

The outer diameter of the storage chamber 9 is inserted into the insertion opening 7 of the cap 2 in a loose state, so that it is possible to pull out only the suction operation unit 8 without holding the container body 1. It fits snugly and to the extent that liquid does not leak.

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment in which the suction operation unit 8 is formed of a bellows-like body. The volume of the bellows-like body is reduced by pressing it with a finger, and the bellows-like body is opened. , Restored to its original volume by its own elasticity, and at the same time
It has the function of sucking up liquid into the storage chamber 9 from zero. The suction port 10 is inserted and fixed to an inlet 13 extending below the storage chamber 9 and communicates with the storage chamber 9.

FIG. 2 shows an embodiment in which the suction operation section 8 is formed of a spindle-shaped bag, and the suction operation section is made of an elastic material such as rubber. Fitted on the rim. When this part is pinched with a finger in a so-called dropper type, the volume is reduced, and when the part is opened, the volume is restored to the original volume, and at the same time, the liquid is sucked from the suction port 10 into the storage chamber 9. The suction port 10 is formed integrally with the storage chamber 9 from plastic.

FIG. 3 shows an embodiment in which the suction operation section 8 is formed of a swelling type body. The suction operation section 8 is made of an elastic material such as rubber, and its open edge is formed in a storage chamber 9. In the groove at the upper open end. When this part is pressed with a finger, the volume is reduced, and when the part is opened, the volume is restored to the original volume, and at the same time, the liquid is sucked from the suction port 10 into the storage chamber 9.
In this embodiment, a relatively constant amount of the liquid seasoning can be sucked up by fully pressing the operation unit 8 with a finger.

In the case of pouring a liquid or a relatively large amount of liquid, it is sufficient to incline the container as in the past, and to pour it out of the spout 5, and to pour a relatively small amount of a constant amount. Presses the wicking operation unit 8, releases the pressing, sucks up the liquid into the storage chamber 9, and holds the entire auxiliary dispenser as it is on the cap 2.
What is necessary is just to pull out further, move to the container to be poured, and push out the suction operation part 8 again and pour out.

If a scale 11 is provided in the storage chamber 9 as shown in the embodiment of FIG. 1, it is possible to measure and discharge more accurately.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, an iron washer 14 is adhered to the lower end surface of the flange 12 and a magnetic washer 15 is adhered to the upper end surface of the cap 2. When the auxiliary pouring device 8 is inserted and inserted, the liquid is prevented from leaking and the liquid is reliably adsorbed and fixed. Therefore, the accuracy of the fitting between the outer diameter portion of the storage chamber 9 and the insertion opening 7 is not necessarily required, and even if the fitting is slightly loose, the good insertion and removal of the auxiliary injector 6 can be achieved. It goes without saying that there is no problem even if the both washers are turned upside down.

In this embodiment, the cap 2 is screwed on the upper part of the container body 1. However, the container body 1 and the cap 2 are formed by continuous integral molding, and the liquid is injected into the container. It goes without saying that it is also possible to go from the upper insertion opening 7.

[0023]

According to the present invention, an opening is formed in the container body in which the liquid is stored, and the opening is provided with a storage chamber for sucking and temporarily storing the liquid stored in the container body. Since the attached auxiliary dispenser is detachably mounted, it is possible to easily obtain a small amount or a dispensed amount requiring fine adjustment.

Therefore, despite its inexpensive and simple structure, it is possible to pour out the liquid without any need for manual adjustment, which may lead to excessive supply due to over-pouring, hindering taste adjustment, and excessive intake of salt and the like. There is no. This effect does not change with infants or those with physical disabilities.
