Description

  The present invention relates to a simple opening / closing cap with a lid removing function, and more specifically, not only can a screw lid such as a beverage container be easily removed, but also the mouth portion of the beverage container or the like after being used to remove the screw lid. The present invention relates to a simple opening / closing cap with a capping function that also serves as a covering cap.

  In recent years, many kinds of beverages in plastic bottles or cans have been sold and are becoming indispensable items for our daily life. In particular, for plastic bottles and cans that have a screw cap at the container mouth, the beverage container mouth can be resealed by attaching the screw cap to the mouth again after the screw cap has been removed and once opened. Therefore, compared with a beverage container having a pull-top type, a rimple type or a tear-off type lid that cannot be resealed once opened, its portability and storage stability are excellent, and its demand is increasing more and more.

  However, the screw lid of the beverage container is a material that can break the screw lid portion to be removed and the cylindrical ring attached to the beverage container mouth so that it can be easily discriminated whether it is unopened or already opened. Often connected so-called virgin caps. When the screw lid is a virgin cap, at the time of the first opening, it requires a large force to rotate the screw lid as much as it takes to break the connecting portion of the screw lid and the cylindrical ring, which may be difficult to open. Has inconvenience. In particular, when the beverage container mouth is small, or when the screw cap part of the beverage container is wet, the rotational force by the hand cannot be transmitted well to the screw cap, and it may take time for initial opening. Is a place to experience everyday.

  In order to solve this problem, for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2 propose a cap opener having a space portion having irregularities on the inner surface. According to these cap openers, the outer diameter of the opener is larger than the outer diameter of the screw lid of a beverage container or the like to be opened, and the shape of the opener is easily transmitted, so the space of the opener By rotating the opener while bringing the inner peripheral surface of the portion into contact with the outer peripheral surface of the screw lid, the screw lid of the beverage container or the like can be easily opened.

  However, these cap openers are mainly necessary at the time of initial opening of the screw lid, but are often unnecessary after being opened once, and there is an inconvenience that additional consideration is required for storage and handling.

  In addition, when viewed from the side of the beverage container, the use of the cap opener reduces the labor at the time of initial opening, but the beverage container main body is still used for subsequent resealing and re-sealing after resealing. And the screw cap need to be rotated relative to each other. To relatively rotate the beverage container body and the screw lid, usually hold the beverage container body with one hand or pinch it between both knees, and rotate the screw lid with the other hand. Basically, you need both hands or one hand and a part of your body. For example, you can use both hands freely during desk work, during a call with a mobile phone with one hand, or while driving a car. In a situation where it cannot be used, a beverage container with a screw lid has the disadvantage that the lid cannot be easily opened and closed.

Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 52-161148 JP 2012-121576 A

  The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned disadvantages in beverage containers having a screw lid. The beverage container can be easily opened by rotating the screw lid even at the initial opening, and then re-sealing. It is an object of the present invention to provide a simple opening / closing cap with a capping function that can be easily stopped and restarted with one hand.

  As a result of intensive research efforts to solve the above problems, the present inventor has noted that the conventional cap opener is useful at the time of initial opening, but is not used thereafter, and the cap opener is a cap opener. The present invention was completed as a result of repeating various trials and errors, thinking that the cap opener can be used as a cap having a lid that can be opened and closed with one touch.

  That is, the present invention includes a main body including an internal space having an insertion opening at a lower portion and an extraction opening at an upper portion, and a one-touch openable lid attached to the dispensing opening, On the inner peripheral surface of the main body forming the internal space, a lid outer peripheral abutting portion that comes into contact with the outer periphery of the screw lid when the target beverage container is inserted from the insertion opening in a state with a screw lid, The lid removing function is provided with a mouth fitting portion that fits the mouth portion from which the screw lid of the beverage container is removed when the beverage container is inserted through the insertion opening with the screw lid removed. By providing the attached simple opening / closing cap, the above-mentioned problems are solved.

  As described above, the simple opening / closing cap with a lid removing function of the present invention has a lid outer peripheral abutting portion that comes into contact with the outer periphery of the screw lid of the target beverage container in the internal space of the main body. The beverage container is inserted into the inner space from the insertion opening, and the outer periphery of the screw lid is brought into contact with the outer periphery contact portion of the lid so that the main body is rotated. The beverage container can be opened by rotating the lid.

  Moreover, since the simple opening / closing cap with a lid removal function of this invention is provided with the opening | mouth part fitting part which fits the opening | mouth part which removed the screw cover of the drink container made into object in the internal space of a main body, it is a screw. The beverage container mouth part from which the lid has been removed is inserted into the internal space through the insertion opening, and the mouth part is fitted to the mouth part fitting part, whereby the simple opening / closing cap with a capping function of the present invention is attached to the beverage container. It can also be used as a cap that covers the mouth. By the fitting, the inside of the beverage container and the internal space communicate with each other, the internal space has a pouring opening at the top, and a lid that can be opened and closed with one touch is attached to the pouring opening. Therefore, when necessary, the lid can be opened and closed with one hand as needed to drink or pour the beverage in the beverage container.

  In a preferred embodiment of the simple opening / closing cap with a lid removing function of the present invention, the inner space partitioned inside the lid outer peripheral abutting portion has a circular horizontal cross-sectional shape, and the mouth fitting portion. The horizontal cross-sectional shape of the internal space partitioned inside is circular. The horizontal cross-sectional shape of the internal space partitioned inside the lid outer peripheral contact portion may be a shape that contacts the outer periphery of the screw lid of the beverage container inserted from the insertion opening, and is not necessarily limited to a circle. However, since the horizontal cross-sectional shape of the screw lid of the beverage container is generally circular, the circular shape has the advantage of being more in contact with the outer periphery of the screw lid and being easy to use.

  Similarly, the horizontal cross-sectional shape of the internal space defined inside the mouth fitting portion may be a shape that fits with the mouth portion of the beverage container inserted from the insertion opening, and is not necessarily limited to a circle. Although it is not a thing, since the horizontal cross-sectional shape of the mouth part of a beverage container with a screw lid is usually circular, the circular one is more uniform between the beverage container mouth part and the mouth part fitting part. Therefore, it is preferable because fitting without anisotropy in the circumferential direction can be realized. In the present specification, the horizontal plane refers to a plane orthogonal to the direction in which the lid or mouth of the beverage container is inserted from the insertion opening, and the horizontal cross section refers to a cross section in the horizontal plane.

  Moreover, the simple opening-and-closing cap with a lid removal function of this invention WHEREIN: In the other suitable one aspect | mode, the said lid | cover outer periphery contact part and the said mouth fitting part are each 2 each, 3 each, or The inner diameter of the circular horizontal cross section of the internal space defined inside the lid outer periphery abutting portion and the mouth fitting portion is the screw of the target beverage container. It is desirable that they differ depending on the difference in the outer diameter of the lid and the outer diameter of the mouth. In the case where the simple opening / closing cap with a lid removing function of the present invention includes a plurality of lid outer peripheral abutment portions and mouth fitting portions having different inner diameters of the partitioned internal spaces, a single lid The simple opening / closing cap with a take-off function provides the advantage of being able to handle various beverage containers having different outer diameters of the lid and mouth.

  Further, in the simple opening / closing cap with a lid removing function of the present invention, the circular horizontal cross-sectional shape of the internal space defined inside each of the lid outer peripheral contact portion and / or the mouth fitting portion. It is desirable that the inner diameter is reduced from the insertion opening side toward the extraction opening side. Thus, the inner diameter of the inner space defined inside the lid outer peripheral contact portion and / or the mouth fitting portion is reduced in diameter from the insertion opening side toward the extraction opening side. If the beverage container is inserted into the inner space through the insertion opening and further applied in the insertion direction, the outer periphery of the lid of the beverage container and the outer peripheral contact portion of the lid are more firmly contacted. While being able to be made, the fitting of the mouth part of the beverage container and the mouth part fitting part can be made denser.

  At this time, the lid outer peripheral abutment portion and the mouth fitting portion may be continuous, and when there are two or more lid outer circumference abutment portions and two mouth fitting portions. All of them may be continuous. In these cases, the inner diameter of the horizontal cross-sectional shape of the internal space defined inside the lid outer peripheral contact portion and the mouth fitting portion is continuous between the lid outer peripheral contact portion and the mouth fitting portion. It is desirable to continuously reduce the diameter over the entire lid outer peripheral abutting portion and the mouth fitting portion.

  Furthermore, the simple opening-and-closing cap with a capping function of this invention is engaged with the screw part currently formed in the mouth part outer periphery of the drink container made into the said mouth part fitting part in another suitable one aspect | mode. It is desirable that a screw portion is provided. When such a screw part is provided in the mouth fitting part, the mouth part of the beverage container is fitted to the mouth fitting part, and the beverage container and the main body are relatively rotated. By this, the coupling | bonding of a drink container and the main body of the simple opening-and-closing cap with a capping function which concerns on this invention can be made stronger, liquid-tight, and integral.

  Moreover, the simple opening-and-closing cap with a lid removal function of this invention WHEREIN: It is desirable that at least the said lid | cover outer peripheral contact part of the said main body is comprised with the material which has elasticity in the suitable other one aspect | mode. When the lid outer peripheral abutting portion is made of an elastic material, the outer diameter of the screw lid of the target beverage container is set to the size of the internal space formed inside the lid outer peripheral abutting portion. When the lid of the beverage container is brought into contact with the lid outer peripheral contact portion, the lid outer peripheral contact portion is elastically deformed, so that the deformed elastic material tends to return. There is an advantage that stronger contact can be realized by using the restoring force. In addition, the lid outer peripheral abutting portion is preferably made of a material having a relatively large friction coefficient in order to contact the outer periphery of the screw lid and rotate it. Incidentally, examples of the material having elasticity include elastic polymer materials such as natural rubber and silicone rubber. However, the material is not limited to these, and any material that is acceptable for food hygiene can be selected as appropriate. It is possible to use.

  The beverage container targeted by the simple opening / closing cap with a lid removing function of the present invention may be a beverage container having a screw lid, and there is no particular limitation on the material constituting the main body or the screw lid. For example, beverage containers in which the main body portion is made of glass and the lid is made of metal or synthetic resin, beverage containers in which the main body portion and the lid are both made of metal, beverage containers in which the main body portion and the lid are both made of synthetic resin, etc. These are all objects of the simple opening / closing cap with a capping function of the present invention. Moreover, there is no special restriction | limiting in the kind of drink with which it fills in a drink container, Water, tea, oolong tea, coffee, tea, nutrition drink, carbonated water, and other drinks may be used.

  According to the simple opening / closing cap with a capping function of the present invention, the opening of a beverage container with a screw lid, which is often difficult, can be easily opened, and after opening, the mouth of the beverage container is replaced with a screw lid. It can be used as a cap for covering. In addition, the simple opening and closing cap with lid removal function of the present invention has a lid that can be opened and closed with one touch, so it can be easily opened and closed with one hand, and both hands can be opened and closed freely. Even under circumstances where it cannot be used, there is an advantage that the lid can be opened and closed with one hand at any time to drink or pour the beverage in the beverage container. This advantage is particularly noticeable when the driver wants to drink while driving a car, and drinks in a beverage container with a screw lid that originally requires both hands to open and close the lid with one hand. Since it can be opened and closed and drunk, it is safe and a great advantage is obtained that it is possible to drink a favorite beverage with more peace of mind.
