Description

The utility model relates to food dispensers. More specifically to sugar bowls with a dispenser.

From the prior art solutions are known according to patent US 939066 for a dosing sugar bowl. The solution is structurally difficult in technical manufacture. The dispenser is located at the bottom, which creates inconvenience for pouring sugar into a cup. Also, the disadvantage is that the dispenser is a device of many elements that block the rash of sugar from the spout. This leads to the fact that when sugar is poured over hot tea or coffee, rising water vapor penetrates inside the dosing chamber and contributes to the adhesion of some sugar crystals to the walls. Thus, over time, the dispenser becomes clogged with stuck sugar and needs to be cleaned.

Known sugar bowl-dispenser according to US patent 1170246, the disadvantage of which is that the dispenser is a device of many elements that overlap the rash of sugar from the spout. This leads to the fact that when sugar is poured over hot tea or coffee, rising water vapor penetrates inside the dosing chamber and contributes to the adhesion of some sugar crystals to the walls. Thus, over time, the dispenser becomes clogged with stuck sugar and needs to be cleaned.

The solution according to US Pat. No. 1,217,078 for a sugar bowl with a dispenser contains a cavity with sugar, from which sugar is poured down through the holes into the central dispenser. The disadvantage of the sugar bowl is also that when sugar is poured over hot tea or coffee, water vapor heats the cavity with sugar, and some penetrates into the central dispenser and further through the holes into the cavity with sugar, where it settles on the walls. When the sugar bowl is turned back, the sugar falls on the walls with water vapor and sticks to them. Thus, over time, the cavity of the dispenser becomes clogged with stuck sugar and must be cleaned.

A sugar bowl is known according to US Pat. No. 1,123,974. It describes a sugar bowl with a dispenser containing a hermetically sealed container for sugar equipped with an opening for pouring sugar into the area of the dispenser, which contains an opening for pouring sugar from the sugar bowl.

It has the same disadvantages as in the previous solutions. When sugar is poured over hot tea or coffee, water vapor rises, penetrates into the dosing chamber and contributes to the adhesion of some sugar crystals to the walls from the pouring zone. Thus, over time, the dispenser becomes clogged with stuck sugar and needs to be cleaned.

The above disadvantages are eliminated by the well-known technical solution described below, selected as the closest analogue.

The prototype describes a sugar bowl with a dispenser (RU 134769 U, publ. 11/27/2013), containing a hermetically sealed container for sugar, equipped with a hole for pouring sugar into the area of the dispenser, which contains a hole for pouring sugar from a sugar bowl, characterized in that the container for sugar is made consisting of at least two separable parts, and is located inside the cavity with an emphasis on the walls of the cavity, and the cavity is made of at least two separable parts, the hole for pouring sugar into the dispenser zone is made at the bottom of the container with sugar, and the dispenser channel is the inner walls of the cavity, and the hole for pouring sugar from the sugar bowl is located in the upper part of the cavity in which the container is placed.

The sugar bowl is configured to form a dose of sugar in such a way that its volume depends on the distance from the opening for pouring sugar into the dispenser area to the cup or dispenser level control plate installed at the bottom of the cavity interior.

The technical result of the claimed solution is the implementation of the possibility of dosing a strictly defined portion of sugar while excluding the possibility of sugar sticking to the walls of the container with sugar or to the walls of the dispenser over time due to exposure to water vapor.

The technical problem of the known solution is the structural complexity of manufacturing a sugar bowl having double walls.

The objective of the claimed solution is to eliminate the specified technical problem while maintaining the advantages inherent in the prototype.

The technical result of the claimed solution is the implementation of the possibility of dosing a strictly defined portion of sugar while eliminating the possibility of sugar sticking to the walls of the container with sugar or to the walls of the dispenser over time due to the action of water vapor.

The specified technical result is achieved due to the fact that a sugar bowl with a dispenser is claimed, containing a container for sugar in the form of a hopper that can be closed with a lid, equipped at its bottom with an opening for pouring sugar into the dispenser area, characterized in that the dispenser is made consisting of a cavity with an internal thread for fixing in it of a cylindrical hopper with a corresponding external thread, the dispenser channel is a slotted cavity between the inner wall of the dispenser and the internal thread of the dispenser, which continues along the wall of the dispenser, made in the form of a chute.

Implementation of the utility model

The claimed sugar bowl (see Fig.1) contains a container for sugar in the form of a hopper 6, which is closed with a lid 11, equipped at its bottom with an opening 10 for pouring sugar into the dispenser zone, inside the cavity of which the hopper 6 is fixed.

What is new is that the dispenser 1 is made consisting of a cavity with an internal thread 3 for fixing a cylindrical hopper 6 with a corresponding external thread 8 in it. , which has a continuation along the wall 4 of the dispenser, made in the form of a chute 5.

This design ensures the achievement of the technical result as in the prototype - the possibility of dosing a strictly defined portion of sugar while eliminating the possibility of sugar sticking to the walls of the container with sugar or to the walls of the dispenser over time due to the action of water vapor.

The justification for achieving this result will be disclosed below.

But unlike the prototype, the claimed device is more structurally simple to manufacture, since it does not have double walls and consists of only 3 elements - a dispenser 1, a hopper 6 and a cover 11 for the hopper. Moreover, all these elements can be made, for example, from plastic by molding (the easiest way to manufacture).

Hopper 6 can also be made of transparent glass or transparent plastic so that the user can see when the sugar is finished.

The dispenser 1 can also be made of metal.

Moreover, the dispenser 1 in the zone of pouring sugar from the hole 10 of the hopper 6 can be made with an opening through which the user can see how a portion of sugar is formed at the bottom of the dispenser. This makes it possible not to make the hopper transparent, since the presence / absence of sugar in the hopper will then be seen by the presence / absence of sugar in the form of a metered slide at the bottom of the dispenser.

The opening of the dispenser 1 described above can be closed with transparent glass (not shown in the drawings) or plastic to reduce the risk of accidental spillage of sugar through the opening if the device is used incorrectly.

The hopper 6 can be fixed in the dispenser 1 in such a way that the hole 10 for pouring sugar from the hopper is located opposite the bowl 2 of the dispenser, which is fixed on the bottom of the dispenser 1. The bowl 2 of the dispenser 1 is located from the hole 10 of the hopper 6 at such a distance and the bottom of the bowl 2 is of such depth to form the volume of the slide of dosed sugar is needed.

The hopper 6 (see Figure 2) is closed with a lid 11, and the principle of fixing the lid 11 on the hopper 6 can be based, for example, on a threaded connection due to an external thread 7 at the top of the hopper cylinder and an internal thread 12 at the lid 11.

The bunker is removable from the dispenser for the need to replenish its capacity with sugar.

To fill the hopper 6 with sugar, the hopper is turned upside down, the lid 11 is removed, the hopper 6 is filled with sugar 14 (see Fig. 3), then the lid 11 is closed.

Then (see Fig.4(B)) the hopper 6 is turned over with a lid 11 up and screwed into the internal thread 3 of the dispenser 1.

The utility model in working condition is shown in Fig. 4(A).

The principle of pouring sugar 14 from the dispenser 1 so that the possibility of sticking sugar on the walls of the container with sugar or on the walls of the dispenser over time due to the action of water vapor is based on (see Fig.5) the use of a slotted cavity 13 between the inner wall 4 of the dispenser 1 and internal thread 3 of the dispenser 1, which continues along the wall 4 of the dispenser, made in the form of a trough 5.

At the moment of inclination of the dispenser 1 in the working position (together with the bin 6) (see Fig.6), sugar 14 is poured from the bottom of the dispenser 1, or from the bowl 2 located there, and, sliding along the wall 4 of the dispenser 1, passes through the slotted cavity 13 and then slides down the chute 5. The pouring of sugar occurs in such a way that the steam from tea or coffee does not touch the inner surface of the chute 5 and does not get inside the dispenser 1, and even more so - inside the hopper 6.

The utility model has been tested. An experimental model was made on a 3D printer, with the help of which the claimed technical result was successfully achieved (see Fig.7-9). Moreover, see Fig.9, the device allowed pouring a strictly metered amount of sugar from the dispenser.
