  In a direct-drinking-type portable liquid container (water bottle), the shape and structure of the drinking mouth are determined according to the way of drinking. For example, the stoppers of Patent Documents 1 and 2 are the same as those for PET bottles. The mouthpiece of the patent document 3 corresponds to the way of drinking (straw type, spout type). It has a narrow cylindrical mouthpiece.

  In this way, the conventional product has a drinking mouth of a predetermined shape and structure, and when adopting different drinking means, it is basically supplied as a product of another design. is there.

  However, adopting a shared structure (design) other than the mouthpiece increases the efficiency of manufacturing and has the advantage of being able to respond to the purchaser's choice by exchanging parts (changing parts with differently shaped mouthpieces) .

  Therefore, as described in Patent Document 2, if the stopper body is composed of a drinking mouth member and a stopper cover member, it is possible to selectively combine the drinking mouth members having different drinking mouth shapes. Since the body has a structure that does not take into account the changed combination of the mouthpiece member, there is a problem in the versatility of the plug cover member.

  That is, the plug body described in Patent Document 2 is provided with a through hole in which a cylindrical protrusion serving as a drinking mouth is fitted and attached to the plug cover member, so that the drinking mouth member having a straw-like narrow cylindrical drinking mouth is provided. In order to mount the plug cover member, it is necessary to change the shape of the through hole in the plug cover member, and the plug cover member cannot be made into a common part.

  Furthermore, the packing part that closes the mouthpiece of the stopper described in Patent Documents 1, 2, and 3 can be applied to both a mouthpiece having a cylindrical protruding shape with a predetermined diameter and a straw-like narrow mouthpiece. It is not versatile.
