Container for a fluid with adjustable dosage
The invention relates to a container for a fluid, the container comprising: a storage compartment with a passage opening; a dosing compartment with a closable pouring opening and with an inflow opening arranged on the passage opening of the storage compartment; a conduit arranged between the inflow opening and the pouring opening of the dosing compartment, wherein at least one opening is arranged in the wall of the conduit; an adjusting part arranged in the conduit for at least partially closing the at least one opening in the conduit wall such that the distance between the inflow opening of the dosing compartment and the part of the least one opening left clear can be varied; and operating means for operating the adjusting part, wherein the operating means are arranged on the outer side of the container.
1. A container for a fluid, the container comprising:
(a) a storage compartment with a passage opening;
(b) a dosing compartment with a closable pouring opening and with an inflow opening arranged on the passage opening of the storage compartment;
(c) a conduit arranged between the inflow opening and the pouring opening of the dosing compartment, wherein at least one opening is arranged in the wall of the conduit;
(d) an adjusting part arranged in the conduit for at least partially closing the at least one opening in the conduit wall such that the distance between the inflow opening of the dosing compartment and the part of the least one opening left clear can be varied;
(e) an operator for operating the adjusting part, wherein the operator is arranged on the outer side of the container; and
(f) a closing valve for closing the conduit, wherein the closing valve is connected to a coupling rod having fingers which engage a cap, wherein the cap is used for closing the pouring opening, such that when the cap is removed, the pouring opening is opened and the closing valve closes the conduit to the storage compartment and, when the cap is secured, the pouring opening is closed and the closing valve opens the conduit to the storage compartment.
2. The container as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the conduit is a first cylindrical tube and wherein the adjusting part is a second cylindrical tube lying against the inner side of the first tube.
3. The container as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the operator comprises an adjusting ring arranged around the pouring opening.
4. The container as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the cap is arranged on the adjusting ring for the purpose of closing the pouring opening.
5. The container as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the operator is an adjustment ring lockable at different rotational positions in order to provide the container with preset measured quantities.
6. The container as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the operator comprises an adjusting ring arranged around the pouring opening.
7. The container as claimed in claim 6 , wherein a cap is arranged on the adjusting ring for the purpose of closing the pouring opening.
8. The container as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the operator comprises an adjusting ring arranged around the pouring opening.
9. The container as claimed in claim 8 , wherein a cap is arranged on the adjusting ring for the purpose of closing the pouring opening.
10. The container as claimed in claim 9 , further including co-acting protrusions arranged on the inner side of the ring and around the pouring opening for holding the adjusting ring in a set position, and wherein the adjusting ring is deformable in order to disengage the protrusions from each other.
11. The container as claimed in claim 9 , further comprising a closure arranged in the inflow opening of the dosing compartment, which closure is coupled to the closable pouring opening such that, when the pouring opening is opened, the inflow opening is closed and, when the pouring opening is closed, the inflow opening is opened.
12. The container as claimed in claim 8 , further including co-acting protrusions arranged on the inner side of the ring and around the pouring opening for holding the adjusting ring in a set position, and wherein the adjusting ring is deformable in order to disengage the protrusions from each other.
13. The container as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the operator is an adjustment ring and is lockable at different rotational positions in order to provide the container with preset measured quantities.
14. The container as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the operator is an adjusting ring lockable at different rotational positions in order to provide the container with preset measured quantities.
15. A container for a fluid, the container comprising:
(a) a storage compartment with a passage opening;
(b) a dosing compartment with a closable pouring opening and with an inflow opening arranged on the passage opening of the storage compartment;
(c) a conduit arranged between the inflow opening and the pouring opening of the dosing compartment, wherein at least one opening is arranged in the wall of the conduit;
(d) an adjusting part arranged in the conduit for at least partially closing the at least one opening in the conduit wall such that the distance between the inflow opening of the dosing compartment and the part of the least one opening left clear can be varied;
(e) an operator for operating the adjusting part, wherein the operator is arranged on the outer side of the container; wherein the operator comprises an adjusting ring arranged around the pouring opening;
(f) a cap arranged on the adjusting ring for the purpose of closing the pouring opening; and
(g) co-acting protrusions arranged on the inner side of the ring and around the pouring opening for holding the adjusting ring in a set position, and wherein the adjusting ring is deformable in order to disengage the protrusions from each other.
16. A container for a fluid, the container comprising:
(a) a storage compartment with a passage opening;
(b) a dosing compartment with a closable pouring opening and with an inflow opening arranged on the passage opening of the storage compartment;
(c) a conduit arranged between the inflow opening and the pouring opening of the dosing compartment, wherein at least one opening is arranged in the wall of the conduit;
(d) an adjusting part arranged in the conduit for at least partially closing the at least one opening in the conduit wall such that the distance between the inflow opening of the dosing compartment and the part of the least one opening left clear can be varied;
(e) an operator for operating the adjusting part, wherein the operator is arranged on the outer side of the container; wherein the operator comprises an adjusting ring arranged around the pouring opening;
(f) a cap arranged on the adjusting ring for the purpose of closing the pouring opening; and
(g) a closure arranged in the inflow opening of the dosing compartment, which closure is coupled to the closable pouring opening such that, when the pouring opening is opened, the inflow opening is closed and, when the pouring opening is closed, the inflow opening is opened.
