Abstract

The present invention relates to a fixed quantity discharge device for a liquid container that includes a spuit pipe formed so as to suck contents without being exposed to the contents stored in a container body such that contamination of the spuit pipe due to the contents can be prevented; and a piston rising according to a use of the contents within the container body so as to minimize the remaining contents within the container body.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A fixed quantity discharge device comprising:
a container body storing contents therein, and a spuit part coupled detachably from the container body and formed with a spuit pipe which sucks and then discharges a fixed quantity of contents stored in the content body,
a support body coupled at an upper portion of the container body, equipped with a coupling part to which the spuit part is coupled, extending into the interior of the container body from the coupling part such that the spuit pipe can be inserted and withdrawn, and equipped at an inner lower end thereof with a content suction tube having a content inflow hole;
a check valve installed at an inner side of the content suction tube and opening and closing the content inflow hole;
a piston moving inside the container body as the spuit part sucks contents;
a sealing member unattached from the check valve and installed with a close contact to the inner side of the content suction tube, and guiding the contents moving through the content inflow hole to move exclusively to an interior of the spuit pipe when the check valve opens; and a separation preventing member, disposed against the inner side of the content suction tube, pressurizing an upper end of the sealing member at an upper portion of the sealing member and preventing the sealing member from being separated from the content suction tube.

2. The fixed quantity discharge device for a liquid container of claim 1 , comprising an insertion hole at an upper end of the sealing member such that the spuit pipe can be inserted/withdrawn, and a content moving hole at a lower end thereof such that the contents flowing in through the content inflow hole can move to the spuit pipe.

3. The fixed quantity discharge device for a liquid container of claim 1 , wherein the check valve prevents the contents sucked into the spuit pipe from moving to the container body in a state that the spuit part is coupled to the coupling part, and prevents air inflow to the container body when the spuit part is separated from the coupling part.

4. The fixed quantity discharge device for a liquid container of claim 1 , wherein the spuit part includes:
the spuit pipe sucking the contents that is stored in the content suction tube and flows into a content suction tube through the content inflow hole;
an inner cap screw-coupled to the coupling part and comprising a guide part which ascends/descends a button part at both upper ends thereof;
an outer cap coupled encasing the inner cap and rotated along with the inner cap by a user's manipulation, and comprising a vertical guide groove longitudinally at an inner circumferential surface so as to guide a button part; and
a button part ascending by a rotation of the outer cap and then descending by a user's pressurization, and comprising a guide protrusion which ascends/descends along the guide part of the inner cap.

5. The fixed quantity discharge device for a liquid container of claim 4 , comprising a pipe fixing part, wherein an upper portion of the spuit pipe is screw-coupled at a center portion of the inner cap and fixes the spuit pipe to the inner cap.

6. The fixed quantity discharge device for a liquid container of claim 4 , wherein the guide part is configured to include an ascending guide face which forms a slope in order to guide an ascent of a guide protrusion; a descending guide face which forms a slope so as to be corresponded with the ascending guide face and guides a descent of the guide protrusion; and a securing face which is disposed between the ascending guide face and the descending guide face and at which a guide protrusion arrives safely therein in a state that the guide protrusion is descended.

7. The fixed quantity discharge device for a liquid container of claim 6 , comprising a limiting protrusion which extends horizontally at a dead-end of the ascending guide face, supports the guide protrusion, and limits a downward movement of the button part.

8. The fixed quantity discharge device for a liquid container of claim 4 , wherein a flange tip supporting rod is protrusively formed in a downward direction at a center portion of an upper end of the button part, wherein at the flange tip supporting rod is coupled a flange tip which moves upwards/downwards inside the spuit pipe and sucks or discharges contents by a pressure change in the spuit pipe.
