JP2002114240A - One-touch open/close and inverted cap with narrow lined squeeze mouth for container for viscous food - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a cap which allows viscous contents such as mayonnaise filled in a resin plastic flexible container to be efficiently squeezed and in addition thinly squeezed in a good-looking manner and which also can be turned upside down immediately even during use by a one-touch open/close lid to improve working efficiency. SOLUTION: The cap comprises an over cap which can be opened/closed with an inverted base as a lid, wherein the cap is integrally structured with a cap body connected therewith via a hinge so that a container body can be reliably turned upside down. In addition, an inner lid with a small hole is provided between the cap body and the lid also serving as an base for turning upside down, thereby providing a thin squeeze mouth.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an inverted cap for a viscous food container such as mayonnaise and the like, and to a one-touch type opening / closing cap with a fine linear opening.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, high-viscosity materials such as mayonnaise of food are often filled in a flexible plastic plastic container, and when used, the container is pressed to squeeze out the contents. I have. Generally, in such a squeezing container, the squeezing port for the contents is located at the top. Therefore, when the container is free standing, the contents of the container are located at the bottom, and in the festival of squeezing the contents, the contents in the container must be moved to near the squeeze port. In particular, such containers are deformed as they are used and are difficult to extrude, and are particularly remarkable when the remaining contents are small. The solution to this problem is to turn the container itself upside down and place the contents at the entrance with the squeeze port of the container facing down.However, this type of container is generally free standing in the inverted state. I can't do it. For this reason, various forms have been devised, such as transfer to a support stand for bringing the container itself into an inverted state, or another container with an inverted stand.

[0003]

Most of the conventional container inverted tables have a concept of attaching a support table by closely contacting or screwing with a cap. In use, there is no effect of the support table during use. The only way to do this is to screw the cap upside down, or place it upside down on a cup-like object.When replacing the container, it is troublesome to attach the cap, or when refilling if another container is used. There is a troublesome problem such as cleaning of the used container.

[0004] In addition, the existing mayonnaise squeeze outlet has a large outlet, and may be left as it is when used in large quantities.
In particular, at festivals for making sandwiches and the like, it is necessary to work to spread the mayonnaise thinly using a spatula or the like, and work such as cleaning the spatula after use occurs, which is very troublesome. In addition, when applying mayonnaise to dishes such as salads, yaksoba, and okonomiyaki, another thin squeeze container is prepared, filled with mayonnaise and the squeeze outlet is squeezed down. However, in order to perform this operation, there are several operations such as preparing another narrow-mouthed container, filling the contents, and washing the container after using the container, which is a problem.

[0005]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, according to the present invention, since the cap itself becomes an inverted table and is integrated with the flexible food container to be inverted, another cap such as an inverted tool is attached. The opening / closing lid is used to save time and squeeze the contents of the container without rotating the container cap.
In addition, with the opening / closing lid open, it is possible to immediately squeeze a thin line at the narrow opening. Of course, if the cap is rotated as in the case of the current use, it can be squeezed out with a ready-made squeezing opening.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a front view showing a container and a cap according to an embodiment of the present invention. This (Fig. 1)
As shown in FIG. 1, a cap 2 with an inverted stand screwed on the top of a squeezed container body 1 made of a flexible material such as plastic, and 3 has a flat lower surface and is stably mounted on a flat surface such as a table. It has enough area to be able to be inverted and not fall down. (FIG. 2) The material is in a state of being integrally molded of plastic, and 3 is a flexible container of 50, which is the thickest part area.
The opening / closing lid has a conical shape with a lower surface having a% area. Further, when (FIG. 3) is opened, the inner lid 4 is a cap having a narrow opening (preferably about 1 mm in diameter for mayonnaise) at the center thereof. Also, the small projection 3a for opening and closing and the opposite side (FIG. 4) 3b, 3c
As a result, the cap screwing main body 2 and the opening / closing trapezoidal lid 3 are connected to each other, and the opening / closing trapezoidal lid 3 covers the inner lid 4, so that the opening / closing cap 3 is integrated with 2 without any gap. Then, the cap 2 is integrated with the flexible container by screwing, the container can be inverted, the lid can be opened and closed with one touch, and the contents can be squeezed out in a thin line by 5.

[0007]

According to the present invention, as described above in detail with the embodiments, the plastic flexible container is inverted, and the support base can be opened and closed with one touch without removing the container cap. In addition, it is easy to squeeze fine mayonnaise.

Claims (1)

[Claims] 1. A cap screwed into an opening of a container body, the cap itself serving as a support base to invert the container, and the support base portion can be opened and closed with one touch without removing the container cap, so that a viscous food or the like can be obtained. Which can be easily squeezed into a thin line.
