  Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In addition, the following Example is only what showed the preferred embodiment of this invention, and the technical scope of this invention is not limited to the following Example itself at all.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the first embodiment of the cap according to the present invention includes a storage container 10 and an assembly protrusion 20.

  The container 10 has a shape such as a bag, has a peripheral edge 11 at the top and a base 12 at the bottom, and a through hole 13 is formed at the center of the base 12. The outer diameter of the container 10 gradually increases from the base 12 toward the peripheral edge 11. In addition, solid confectionery 30 such as popcorn, cotton candy, rice crackers, cookies, and candy can be accommodated in the container 10.

  The assembly protrusion 20 has a columnar shape, penetrates from the lower end 21 and the upper end 22 that are bonded to the periphery of the through hole 13 of the storage container 10, from the lower end 21 to the upper end 22, and communicates with the through hole 13. The hollow channel 23 has an inner diameter d1 that gradually decreases from the lower end 21 toward the upper end 22, and a tubular body such as a straw 40 can be inserted.

A height h <b> 1 from the lower end 21 to the upper end 22 in the assembly convex portion 20 is the same as a height h <b> 2 from the base 12 to the peripheral edge 11 in the storage container 10.
Further, an engaging portion 24 is provided in the vicinity of the lower end 21 of the hollow flow path 23, and the inner diameter of the engaging portion 24 corresponds to the outer diameter of the neck of a bottle 50 such as a normal PET bottle or glass bottle. Thereby, the neck of the bottle 50 can be pushed into the engaging portion 24 of the assembly convex portion 20 and engaged.

  As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, in the second embodiment according to the present invention, a male screw on the neck outer periphery of a bottle 50 such as a normal plastic bottle or a glass bottle is formed on the engaging portion 24 of the assembly convex portion 20 in the cap 1 </ b> A. The female screw part 241 corresponding to the part is formed, and the female screw part 241 is screwed with the male screw part of the bottle 50, whereby the cap 1A is combined with the neck of the bottle 50 such as a plastic bottle or a glass bottle.

  As shown in FIG. 7, in the third embodiment according to the present invention, the height h3 from the lower end 21 to the upper end 22 of the assembly convex portion 20 in the cap 1B is the height from the base 12 to the peripheral edge 11 of the container 10. Designed lower than h1.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the fourth embodiment according to the present invention further includes a film 60 on the cap 1 </ b> C, and the film 60 covers the container 11 so that the peripheral edge 11 and the assembly convex portion of the container 10 are covered. Adhered to the upper end 22 of 20, the hollow channel 23 is sealed.

  Since the groove portion 601 is provided on the periphery of the film 60 so as to protrude from the periphery 11 of the storage container 10, it is easy to peel the protrusion 601 from the periphery 11 of the storage container 10 during use. If this film 60 is provided, the inside of the container 10 is sealed, so that the confectionery can be stored. The film 60 may be made of an aluminum foil, a plastic film, polyethylene (polyethylene, PE), polypropylene (polypropylene, PP), or the like.

  As shown in FIG. 9, in the fourth embodiment according to the present invention, when the solid confectionery 30 is put in the storage container 10 and the film 60 is adhered to the peripheral edge 11, the solid confectionery 30 is sealed in the storage container 10. After that, the engaging part 24 of the assembly convex part 20 is screwed into the male screw part of the neck of the bottle 50 by the female screw part 241 and used in combination.

  When using the cap according to the present invention, if the straw 40 is pierced into the film 60 and inserted into the bottle 50 from the hollow flow path 23 of the assembly convex portion 20, the beverage in the bottle 50 can be drunk. In another method of use, the straw 40 originally inserted into the bottle 50 is pushed out from the lower end 21 of the assembly convex portion 20 to the upper end 22 through the hollow flow path 23 and bonded to the peripheral edge 11 of the container 10. The film 60 is pierced and exposed to the outside.

  As shown in FIG. 10, the fifth embodiment according to the present invention is almost the same as the first embodiment, but at least one engagement ring 240, 242 is provided on the engagement portion 24 of the assembly convex portion 20 in the cap 1D. 243 is different. The engaging portion 24 in the present embodiment has three engaging rings 240, 242, and 243 having different inner diameter sizes. These engagement rings 240, 242, and 243 gradually increase in inner diameter toward the lower end 21 of the assembly protrusion 20 so as to correspond to the neck outer periphery of the beverage container.

In the fifth embodiment, the uppermost engagement ring 240 has an inner diameter corresponding to the neck outer periphery of a bottle such as a normal plastic bottle or glass bottle, and corresponds to the male screw portion of the bottle neck outer periphery on the inner peripheral surface. A female screw portion 241 is formed. In use, the engagement ring 240 can be combined with the neck of the bottle.
The next engagement ring 242 has an inner diameter corresponding to the neck outer periphery of the aluminum can. As shown in FIG. 11, when used, the engagement ring 242 can be combined with the neck of the aluminum can 70.
The lowermost engagement ring has an inner diameter corresponding to the outer circumference of the neck, such as a paper cup for coffee or tea. As shown in FIG. 12, the engagement ring 243 can be combined with the neck of the paper cup 80 when used.
According to this, the cap according to the present invention can be combined with various beverage containers and can be applied in a wide range.
