DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a separating and collecting cap, and more particularly to a gripping portion of the separating and collecting cap.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A bottle container is filled with contents such as soba soup, and a cap is attached to the mouth thereof. When the contents of this container are used up, the cap is separated and only the container is collected and reused. Conventionally, in order to facilitate separation of the cap, a horizontal weakening portion is provided on the upper wall of the main body, a vertical weakening portion is provided on the outer cylinder of the main body, and a rectangular grip portion is erected near the horizontal weakening portion. ing. Then, at the time of sorting and collecting, when the grip portion is grasped with a finger and pulled in a predetermined direction, the outer cylinder is torn from the weakened portion, and the annular projection provided on the inner surface of the outer cylinder is cut, so that the cap can be easily removed. Remove from container.

[0003]

The gripping portion of the prior art has a rectangular shape, so it is difficult to grip with a finger, and the finger slips when trying to pull with a strong force. For this reason, since the tearing of the weakened portion cannot be performed smoothly, it takes time to remove the cap. Also, when the upper wall of the main body is pressed at the time of tapping, if the grip portion is pressed, a large force is locally applied to the upper wall of the main body, and the weakened portion may be cut. Therefore, it is necessary to press while avoiding the grip portion, but in this case, a uniform force is not applied to the upper wall of the main body.
Plugging as designed cannot be performed, and seal leakage may occur.

[0004] In view of the above circumstances, an object of the present invention is to enable a weakened portion to be smoothly torn. Another object is to be able to plug as designed.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a separation / recovery cap having a main body provided with a grip for tearing a weakened portion; wherein the grip is a ring concentric with the main body; It is characterized by being provided on the upper wall of the main body via a hinge so as to be able to move up and down.

[0006]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The present inventor has formed the grip portion on a ring concentric with the main body and formed on the upper wall of the main body via a hinge so as to be able to move up and down. Therefore, in the case of sorting and collecting, the grip portion can be raised to be surely grasped with a finger, and at the time of plugging, the upper wall of the main body receives an equal force, so that the plug is plugged as designed.

A first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. At the mouth 1 of the bottle container, a main body (inner plug) 2 of a cap made of synthetic resin is stoppered. The outer cylinder 3 and the inner cylinder 4 of the main body 2 hold the mouth 1 of the container, and the outer cylinder 3
An annular projection 5 which engages with the annular concave portion of the mouth portion 1 is provided around the inside.

The inner opening of the inner cylinder 4 is closed by a blocking wall 7, a cut groove 9 is provided on the lower surface of the blocking wall 7, and a pull ring 10 is provided on the upper surface thereof. Is provided.

A pouring cylinder 15 is provided on the main body upper wall 11 via a hinge 13 so as to be able to move up and down. This dispensing cylinder 15
Has a function of a so-called gripping portion, is formed concentrically with the main body 2, and has an engaging portion 17 that engages with the locking portion 16 of the main body 2 provided inside the main body 2.

The height of the main body upper wall 11 outside the locking portion 16 is shorter than the height of the pouring cylinder 15 and
An adjusting cylinder 18 concentric with the cylinder 5 is provided, and the adjusting cylinder 18 is formed with a notch for a hinge cut into the main body upper wall 11. A lateral weakening portion 19a is provided on the main body upper wall 11, and the lateral weakening portion 19a is provided on the outer cylinder 3.
Is provided with a longitudinal weakening portion (not shown) which is continuous with the first portion.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described.
The dispensing cylinder 15 is rotated by 180 degrees in the direction of arrow A15, fitted on the locking portion 16, and brought into close contact with the main body upper wall 11, as indicated by the chain line.

After filling the bottle container with soba soup, the main body 2 is stoppered and attached to the mouth 1 of the bottle container. At this time, the adjusting cylinder 18 is pressed. However, since the adjusting cylinder 18 is a ring body, the main body upper wall 11 receives an equal force, so that the plugging is performed as designed and the lateral weakening portion 19a is formed. And the vertically weakened portion does not tear. After the stoppering is completed, an upper lid (not shown) is screwed into the mouth 1 of the container.

When the soba soup in the container has been used and the container is to be sorted and collected, the dispensing cylinder 15 is pushed up with a finger to disengage the engaging portion 16 from the engaging portion 17, and then the dispensing is performed. The tube 15 is gripped with a finger and pulled in the horizontal direction while rotating in the direction opposite to the arrow A15. Then, a force is applied to the lateral weakening portion 19a and the vertical weakening portion via the hinge 13, and the weakening portions are cut off.

When the two weakened portions are cut off, the annular projection 5 of the outer cylinder 3 is cut, and the tightening force of the mouth 1 is released, so that the main body 2 can be easily removed from the mouth 1. .

A second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 2. The same reference numerals as in FIG. 1 have the same names and functions. The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that (1) main body 2
(2) A mounting cylinder 26 is provided on the main body upper wall 11 outside the discharging cylinder 15. That, (3)
That is, the cylindrical body 25 is connected to the main body upper wall 11 via the hinge 23.

The cylindrical body 25 is a grip portion formed concentrically with the main body 2, and an engagement portion 27 is provided on the inner surface thereof. When the cylindrical body 25 is rotated by 180 degrees in the direction of arrow A25 via the hinge 23, the engaging portion 27 engages with the mounting cylinder 26,
Adhere to

When the container is separated and collected, the cylindrical body 2
5 is pushed up with a finger to release the engagement with the mounting cylinder 26,
The cylindrical body 25 is grasped with a finger and pulled in the horizontal direction while rotating in the direction opposite to the arrow A25 to cut the weakened line.

The embodiment of the present invention is not limited to the above. For example, in the second embodiment (FIG. 2), a portion of the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical body 25 facing the hinge 23 is
A knob may be provided. By doing so, the cylindrical body 25
Is easily pushed up, and the engagement with the mounting tube 26 can be easily released.

[0019]

According to the present invention, since the grip portion is a ring body concentric with the main body and is provided on the upper wall of the main body via a hinge so as to be able to move up and down, the grip portion is securely held by the finger. And can be pulled with strong force. Therefore, the weakened portion can be smoothly torn. Also, at the time of plugging, the upper wall of the main body receives an even force, so that plugging can be performed as designed, and since a strong force is not locally applied to the weakened portion, the weakened portion does not break.
