TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a drainage device which is attached to the mouth of a flexible or flexible container which is filled with mayonnaise, ketchup, okonomiyaki sauce, tonkatsu sauce, honey, kneaded mustard, kneaded wasabi, soft margarine and other viscous contents. More specifically, the present invention relates to a cap device with a lid having an outlet, and more specifically, divides a lid surface area of a discharge cap and projects a fixed output opening having a different discharge form to correspond to an output opening of each divided section. The present invention relates to a cap device with a discharge switching type lid, in which a separately closable lid is provided, one end of which is attached to a peripheral edge of the cap, and a discharge amount or a discharge shape can be changed by opening and closing the divided lid.
[0002]
Here, the output opening refers to a discharge opening formed as an open end of a discharge passage for contents. The discharge amount or discharge shape is used interchangeably with the discharge mode. The opening / closing lid naturally also functions as a hygiene protection cap (cover cap).
[0003]
[Prior art]
2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a lid (cap device) of a flexible or flexible container filled with viscous contents such as mayonnaise or the like has an inner cap in which a discharge port (output opening) is formed on a lid surface in a very common place. And an outer cap (sanitary protection cap) for protecting the lid surface.
[0004]
Here, the discharge port is generally a fixed circle or a star, and the discharge shape of the content to be evacuated is, of course, close to a standard shape.
[0005]
Under these circumstances, when trying to apply mayonnaise or sauce to okonomiyaki, salad, tonkatsu, etc., it may be desirable to discharge it in a flat or thread-like form. It has been made up by operations such as sprinkling (pouring) from.
[0006]
By the way, in terms of changing the discharge shape of the contents, a plurality of discharge ports are formed on the lid surface of the inner lid, and are rotatably loosely fitted to the mouth portion of the tube container, so that the discharge shape can be switched. There was a proposal for a squeezed container. (For example, see Patent Document 1)
[0007]
[Patent Document 1]
Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 44-9192 (all pages, all drawings)
[0008]
However, in Patent Literature 1, a squeeze hole is provided at an eccentric portion at the mouth portion of the tube container, and a plurality of squeeze holes of the inner lid are provided on the circumference of the tube container so as to be rotatably loosely fitted and select a discharge shape. Therefore, the discharge mechanism is provided together with the configuration of the tube container. Therefore, it cannot be replaced with an existing lid as a discharge cap for a container such as a commercially available mayonnaise. In addition, the squeeze holes are all point holes, and no slits can be formed in the lid surface, and the degree of freedom with respect to the discharge amount and discharge shape is small.
[0009]
Under these circumstances, the present inventors have made the cap structure into an inner-outer double structure, the inner cap can be replaced with an existing lid of a container such as a commercially available mayonnaise as it is, and by rotating the inner and outer caps, A discharge switching type cap device has been proposed in which the output opening can be cooperatively switched so that the discharge mode of the contents can be changed to a flat plate or a multi-thread. (For example, refer to Patent Document 2 referred to as a prior application cap.)

[0011]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, the dual structure of the inner cap and the outer cap of the prior application is somewhat difficult in terms of cost, and it has been required to use a fixed output opening in order to obtain the same effect as the change in the discharge mode.
[0012]
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and solves the above-described problem by using an opening / closing lid (protection cap) as a split lid, and discharges or discharges a shape by separately opening and closing the split lids. The present invention provides a cap device with a discharge switching type lid, which is capable of changing the cap.
[0013]
Another object of the present invention is to provide a cap device with a discharge switching type lid having an article property as a kitchen accessory that can be easily replaced and a multipurpose discharge mode can be selected in place of an existing lid of a container such as mayonnaise.
[0014]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The present invention is an improvement of a cap device with a discharge switching type lid having a discharge port attached to a mouth of a flexible or flexible container for filling viscous contents, and a cover surface area of the discharge cap. Is divided transversely into a plurality of sections, and fixed output openings with different discharge forms are protruded in each of the divided sections, and separate lids that can be opened and closed separately are provided corresponding to the output openings of each divided section One end is attached to the periphery of the discharge cap.The output opening is opened or switched by opening and closing the split lid to change the discharge amount or discharge shape, and the discharge is performed by closing all the split lids. It is characterized by being in an unsealed state.
