を外した時に蓋を紛失することがある。2. Description of the Related Art As a cap attached to a container body, one having an outlet is known. With this cap, the contents can flow out from the outflow port without removing the cap from the container body. However, with the above-mentioned cap, there is a risk that foreign matter may enter the container body from the outlet or fall over, and the contents may flow out from the outlet. In order to solve this, a cap provided with a lid for sealing the outflow port has been proposed, but the lid may be lost when the lid is removed.

い。Therefore, the cap shown in FIG. 8 is proposed. The cap 1 includes a cap body 3 attached to the container body 2 and a lid 5 that seals the outlet 4 of the top surface portion 3 a of the cap body 3. The lid 5 is connected to the side surface portion of the cap body 3 with a connecting band 6. It is a form integrally attached to 3b. With this cap 1, since the lid 5 is integrally supported by the cap body 3, the lid 5 is not lost.

を押して流出口４に向けて移動することで流出口４に嵌
合して取付けできる。In the above-mentioned cap, it is preferable that the lid 5 can be easily attached to and detached from the outflow port 4 with one hand. For this purpose, the connecting band 6 is formed into an approximately C shape by an elastic material, and the connecting band 6 is elastically displaced to fit the lid 5 into the outlet 4 as shown by the phantom line in FIG. When the lid 5 is removed from the outflow port 4, the connecting strip 6 is elastically restored and the lid 5 is removed as shown by the solid line in FIG.
Is moved to the removal position above the outflow port 4. By doing this, the lid 5 at the removal position
By pressing and moving toward the outlet 4, the outlet 4 can be fitted and attached.

に向けて移動して取付ける際に、手を汚すことがある。In the container provided with the cap 1 described above, by holding the container body 2 by hand so that the cap 1 faces downward, the contents flow out from the outflow port 4 or the container body 2 is crushed by hand. As a result, the contents flow out from the outlet 4. In any case, since the lid 5 at the removal position is located above the entrance / exit 4, the lid 5 becomes an obstacle when the contents flow out from the outlet 4, and the contents that have flowed out adhere to the lid 5. I have something to do. In this way, when the contents adhere to the lid 5, the lid 5 is closed after the outflow of the contents is completed.
Your hands may get dirty when moving toward and installing.

い場所で使用する時に邪魔になる。In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the connecting band 6 is formed into a straight shape or an inverted C-shape in the free state, and the lid 5 is formed.
It is conceivable that the lid 5 is separated from the outflow port 4 with the lid removed. However, this makes it difficult to fit and attach the lid 5 at the detached position to the outflow port 4. In addition, since the lid 5 and a part of the connecting band 6 project outward more than the cap body 3, they are an obstacle when used in a narrow space.

接近してしまう。Further, as described above, even when the connecting band 6 is formed into a straight line or an inverted C-shape in the free state,
When the lid 5 is set to the attachment position, the connecting band 6 is elastically displaced and becomes C-shaped. Therefore, the degree of elastic displacement of the connecting band 6 is remarkably large, and the material used is expensive.
If the shape and thickness of the connecting band 6 are taken into consideration as described above, the connecting band 6 approaches the C-shape in a free state due to a change with time (temperature high / low or operation in use), and the lid 5 at the detaching position approaches the inflow port 4. I will end up.

キャップを提供することである。The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, and its purpose is that the lid does not get in the way when the contents flow out, that the lid can be easily attached and detached, and that the space is small. It is an object of the present invention to provide a cap for a container which satisfies the requirements that the lid does not get in the way during use, that the material used for the connecting band is inexpensive, and that the lid does not approach the outflow port due to aging.
