Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a liquid dispensing cap used, for example, for a sauce.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a liquid discharging cap which is generally widely used, a peripheral wall for fitting a neck portion of a container body is hung from a lower surface of a thickly provided top plate, and a lower surface of a top plate portion surrounded by the peripheral wall is provided on a lower surface of the top plate.
A cap is known in which a concave portion is formed in the center portion of the outer peripheral portion, and nozzle holes are formed from both left and right portions of the peripheral surface of the concave portion to both left and right portions of the outer peripheral surface of the top plate.

[0003]

The above-mentioned conventional cap has a drawback that the concentration of the stored liquid increases due to vaporization since the nozzle hole is always open.

In the present invention, a horizontal member for sealing a base end face of a nozzle hole is rotatably mounted on the inner surface of a cap, and the base end face of the nozzle hole is opened only when the container with the cap is tilted to discharge a stored liquid. When the container is in the upright state, the base end face of the nozzle hole is always sealed so that the above-mentioned drawbacks can be eliminated.

[0005]

Means for Solving the Problems A central portion of a thick top plate 2 is raised in a cap shape, and a peripheral wall 3 for fitting the mouth and neck of a container body is suspended from a lower surface of the top plate 2, and the peripheral wall surrounds the peripheral wall. A cap having a hemispherical concave portion 4 formed in the lower surface of the top plate portion, leaving a peripheral portion, and a pair of left and right nozzle holes 5, 5 formed in both left and right portions of the peripheral surface of the top plate from both left and right portions below the concave surface. A main body 1 and a horizontal member 6 having a short cylindrical portion 7 which is rotatably pivotally attached to the front and rear portions of the front and rear portions of the concave portion 4 and fitted into the lower portion of the concave portion 4; The horizontal member is positioned at the center of gravity below the axis connecting the pivot portions so that the horizontal state can be maintained even when the cap body is inclined in the left-right direction. The outer surfaces of the left and right portions of the opening 7 seal the base end surfaces of the nozzle holes 5, 5, and the cap body is largely left and right. When it was largely inclined to shift, the left and right portions of the short cylindrical portion 7 were disengaged from the base end surface so that the base end surface of the nozzle hole could be opened.

[0006]

In the upright state of the cap main body 1 shown in FIG. 1, the outer surfaces of the left and right short cylindrical portions 7 of the horizontal member 6 rotatably connected to the inner surface thereof seal the base end surfaces of the nozzle holes 5, 5. I do. FIG.
When the container body for injecting the liquid in the container body, and therefore the cap body is tilted as shown by the arrow, the horizontal member keeps the horizontal state, so that the left and right portions of the short cylindrical portion 7 are detached from the base end face of the nozzle hole, The liquid can be discharged from the nozzle holes 5,5. When the cap body is returned to the upright state, the nozzle hole base end face is closed again as shown in FIG.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A cap according to the present invention is formed of a cap body and a horizontal member.

The cap body 1 protrudes in the form of a cap at the center of a thick top plate 2 and hangs a peripheral wall 3 for fitting the mouth and neck of the container from the lower surface of the top plate. A hemispherical concave portion 4 is formed on the lower surface of the top plate portion surrounded by the peripheral wall, leaving an outer peripheral portion. The top of the recess may be horizontal as shown. Nozzle holes 5, from both the lower left and right portions of the peripheral surface of the recess to the left and right portions of the outer peripheral surface of the top plate.
5 is drilled.

The horizontal member 6 has a short cylindrical portion 7 which is in close contact with the lower peripheral surface of the concave portion 4 and seals the base end surfaces of the nozzle holes 5, 5; 8 are projected outwardly, and these two shafts are pivotally attached to the front and rear recess portions of the cap body. The short cylindrical portion is rotatable around the two axes,
The center of gravity of the horizontal member is positioned below the axis connecting the pivot portions so that the horizontal state can be maintained in the left-right direction. In the illustrated example, the connecting plate 9,
9 is protruded from the inner end thereof at the center of the short cylindrical portion, and an upper surface closing cylinder 10 is provided, and a weight 11 for erecting a connecting rod from the top surface of the sphere into the cylinder is connected to the upper surface closing cylinder. It was screwed in and attached. The horizontal member may have various structures in addition to the illustrated example.

[0010]

[Effect of the Invention] Since the present invention has been described, the left and right portions of the short cylindrical portion 8 seal the base end surfaces of the nozzle holes 5, 5 when the cap body 1 is in the upright state. When the liquid evaporates and its concentration increases, no insects or the like enter the container through the nozzle hole, and when the cap body is tilted at the time of discharging the liquid in the container, the short cylindrical portion 7 is removed. Since the horizontal member 6 has a horizontal state, the horizontal member 6 is automatically opened apart from the base end face of the nozzle hole, so that the short cylindrical portion does not hinder the liquid injection.

Claims (1)

(57) [Scope of request for utility model registration] 1. A central portion of a thick top plate 2 is raised in a cap shape, and a peripheral wall 3 for fitting a mouth and neck of a container body is suspended from a lower surface of the top plate 2. A hemispherical concave portion 4 is bored leaving an outer peripheral portion, and a pair of left and right nozzle holes 5, from both left and right portions below the concave portion peripheral surface to both right and left portions of the top plate peripheral surface.
A horizontal body having a short cylindrical portion 7 in which the front and rear portions are rotatably and pivotally attached to the top wall portions in front and behind the concave portion 4 and fitted into the lower portion of the concave portion 4. The horizontal member has a center of gravity located below an axis connecting the pivot portions so that the horizontal state can be maintained even when the cap body is inclined in the left-right direction. In some cases, the outer surfaces of the left and right portions of the short cylindrical portion 7 are provided with the nozzle holes 5,5.
When the cap body is largely tilted to the left or right while closing the respective base end faces, the left and right portions of the short cylindrical portion 7 are detached from the base end face so that the nozzle hole base end face can be opened. Characterized liquid pouring cap.
