Description

  The present invention relates to a cap suitable for discharging the contents in the container by a swinging operation that inverts the container and vibrates the container up and down, and the contents of the contents due to steam (steam etc.) generated in cooking It is intended to prevent solidification and avoid clogging in the opening, and to achieve a reliable sealing of the lid.

  A container having a small particle size, for example, a seasoning such as pepper, is equipped with a cap having a plurality of openings in its mouth, and the container is inverted so that the openings of the cap face downward. An appropriate amount of contents can be discharged by performing a swinging operation that vibrates the container itself up and down (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 56-28940

  By the way, this type of cap, for example, when the seasoning is sprinkled on a frying pan, pan, etc. during cooking, the contents adhere and solidify due to steam (steam) rising from the frying pan, pan, etc. There is a problem that the lid is closed (clogged) or the lid cannot be closed, and an improvement thereof has been desired.

  The subject of this invention exists in the place which proposes the novel cap which can eliminate the conventional malfunction which the above shakeout containers had.

The present invention has a top wall having a plurality of apertures penetrating the front and back, a base fixedly held at the mouth of the container, and a rear side portion of the base that is rotatably held via a hinge, A spout that fits a convex portion to the opening and closes the opening, and discharges the contents in the container through the opening in the top wall by a swinging operation that vibrates the container upside down in an inverted posture. A container cap,
A cap for a dispensing container, characterized in that a protective wall is provided on the front side of the base corresponding to the position facing the hinge, leaving a narrow edge and surrounding the opening to prevent intrusion of water vapor. is there.

  In the cap having the above-described configuration, the top surface wall of the base can be provided with a locking piece that maintains the closed position and the open position of the cover body in association with the short edge in the width direction of the cover body. As the lid body, one provided with a hanging piece having an end surface and an inner wall portion facing each other with a gap between the narrow edge portion and the outer surface of the protective wall is advantageously suitable. It is preferable to provide a gap between the upper end portion of the protective wall and the lid, and it is desirable that the lid is constituted by a front portion and a rear portion and can be folded via a hinge.

  Since a protective wall is provided on the front side of the base that constitutes the cap while leaving a narrow edge (stepped portion) and surrounding the opening, water vapor such as steam is blocked by the protective wall. There is no easy clogging.

  By providing a locking piece on the top wall of the base and linking this locking piece to the edge in the width direction of the lid to maintain the closed and open postures of the lid, the structure becomes complicated. It is possible to reliably hold the posture of the cap without using the cap and to make the cap one part.

  Since a gap is formed between the lower end surface of the hanging piece of the lid body and the narrow edge portion, the lid body can be reliably closed even if the contents adhere to this portion and solidify. Further, by providing a gap between the upper end portion of the protective wall and the lower surface of the lid body, it is possible to prevent the lid body from being closed due to the contents being accumulated and solidified on the upper end portion of the protective wall.
