Abstract

The invention discloses a bottle cap with fixed discharge quantity, which comprises a bottle cap body, a partitioning unit and an outer cap. The partitioning unit is disposed on the bottle cap body and defines a first compartment not adjacent to the bottle opening and a second compartment adjacent to the bottle opening together with the bottle cap body. The position on the partitioning unit adjacent to the first compartment is defined as a surface which is continuously inclined and defines a lowest point and a highest point at two opposite ends, wherein the lowest point is closest to the bottle opening and is provided with a communicating port for communicating the first compartment with the second compartment, and the highest point is farthest away from the bottle opening. The bottle cap body is provided with a discharge port communicating with the first compartment and corresponding to the highest point. The partitioning unit is provided with an accommodating groove adjacent to the first compartment between the highest point and the lowest point. The outer cap may cover the discharge port. Thus, a fixed quantity of contents can be discharged by continuously tilting toward the direction of the lowest point and overturning one circle and then tilting toward the direction of the highest point.

Description

The present invention relates to a fixed-capacity bottle cap, and more particularly to a fixed-volume accommodating member for containing a fixed amount of content to pour out a fixed-volume bottle cap with a fixed amount of content during pouring.

According to the Republic of China Invention Patent Publication No. I441758 (Automatic bottle capping device), which is an automatic bottle capping device, includes a bottle cap and a measuring unit horizontally disposed in the bottle cap. The bottle cap defines an accommodating space and has a feeding port and a discharging port. The measuring unit has a first measuring volume chamber. The first measuring volume chamber has a first opening. The measuring unit can be pivoted relative to the bottle cap to operate in a first feeding position and a first discharging position. At the first feeding position, the first measuring container is connected to the inner space of the bottle through the first opening and the feeding port, and is not connected to the outside. At the first discharge position, the first taking volume chamber is connected to the outside through the first opening and the discharge port, and is not connected to the inner space of the bottle.

However, the structure of the foregoing case is still complicated, and the measuring unit is pivotally connected to the bottle cap, and the pivot is easily damaged due to frequent rotation.
