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

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a cap for a commonly used soy sauce container or the like, a peripheral wall for fitting the mouth and neck of a container body is hung down from the lower surface of a thick top plate, and an outer periphery is provided on the lower surface of the top plate surrounded by the peripheral wall. A cap is known in which a concave portion is formed by leaving a portion, and a base end and a distal end are formed on both left and right surfaces of the concave portion and the top plate, respectively, and two left and right nozzle holes are formed in the diameter direction of the top plate.

[0003]

When the container is tilted with its peripheral wall fitted to the mouth and neck of the container, the liquid discharging cap passes through the nozzle hole located on one lower side, and the container exits through the nozzle hole. The body fluid is poured out, and the replacement air is provided at the same time from the nozzle hole located on the upper side so that the replacement air can enter the container body. When it was knocked down, the liquid leaked through the nozzle holes.

In the present invention, a valve is provided on the lower surface of the concave portion of the above-mentioned cap, and a valve stem rising from the valve body is provided standing up through the cap top plate and provided with an operating member provided with a large-diameter knob at its upper end. By moving the operating member up and down via the knob, the valve is opened and closed, so that the defect can be eliminated.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS First, a first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 will be described.

A peripheral wall 4 of the cap body 3 is screwed into the mouth and neck. The cap body hangs down the peripheral wall 4 from the outer periphery of the top plate 5, drills a recess 6 leaving an outer peripheral portion on the lower surface of the top plate portion surrounded by the peripheral wall, and raises the center of the top plate above the recess in a cap shape. A through hole 8 at the center of the raised portion 7;
In addition, nozzle holes 9, 9 are respectively formed from the left and right sides of the concave part peripheral surface to the left and right parts of the top plate peripheral surface. From the outer end of the nozzle hole, the nozzles 10, 10 may be extended outward as shown.

A valve seat member 11 is provided on the lower surface of the top plate surrounded by the peripheral wall 4 of the cap body 3. The member has a small diameter at the lower portion from the inner peripheral edge of the flange 12 and hangs a tapered tube 14 having a lower end opening as a valve hole 13. The outer periphery of the flange 12 is formed on the upper end surface of the container body neck and the peripheral wall of the cap body. 4 is sandwiched between the outer peripheral portion of the lower surface of the top plate portion surrounded by 4.

Reference numeral 15 denotes an operating member having a cylindrical valve element 16 for opening and closing the valve hole 13. The operating member 15 has a large diameter knob 17 mounted on the raised portion 7 of the cap main body and penetrates the above-mentioned through hole 8 from the lower surface. Valve stem 18
And a cylindrical valve body 16 is fitted on the outer surface of the lower part of the valve stem. The valve stem 18 can be moved up and down in a watertight manner with respect to the through hole 8. Due to its watertight fitting, the through-hole 8 has a sealing tube 19.
Should be fitted. The lower part of the cylindrical valve element 16 is the valve hole described above.
The valve hole 13 is provided so as to be able to fit in the watertight or to have a slightly larger outer diameter than the valve hole so that the valve hole 13 can be sealed when the operating member 15 is pushed down. The valve hole 13 and the cylindrical valve body 16 form a valve 20.
In the example shown, a fitting groove is provided on the outer surface of the lower part of the valve rod,
16 is a shape with an inward flange attached to the lower end of the peripheral wall,
The inner periphery of the inward flange is fitted into the fitting groove in a watertight manner and cannot be pulled out.

FIGS. 3 to 5 show a second embodiment in which the valve seat member 11 of the first embodiment is replaced by a member 25 with a valve seat which can be assembled integrally with the cap body 3. The structure of the portion is the same as in the first embodiment.

The member 25 with a valve seat is formed by engaging a ridge 26 provided on the outer edge of the upper end with the upper edge of the through hole in the through hole 8 at the center of the protruding portion 7 of the cap body, thereby forming the upper cylindrical portion 27a of the sealing cylinder 27. At the same time, the large-diameter cylindrical portion 28 was attached to the lower end of the large-diameter cylindrical portion 28 from the lower portion of the upper cylindrical portion through an outwardly extending portion in a water-tight manner and in contact with the inner wall surface of the cap-shaped portion 7. The outer peripheral portion of the outward flange 29 is clamped between the upper end surface of the container body neck portion 2 and the outer peripheral portion of the lower surface of the top plate surrounded by the peripheral wall 4, and further from the lower end of the large-diameter cylindrical portion 28 downward and inward.
A tapered cylinder 14 having a lower end opening with a valve hole 13 protrudes. Further, communication holes 30, 30 are formed in the large-diameter cylindrical portion inside the nozzle holes 9, 9. The large-diameter cylindrical portion having these communication holes 30, 30 may be formed to have a large diameter at the lower portion as shown in the figure, so that the cylindrical valve element 16 and the large-diameter Tube 28
And the frictional resistance can be reduced.

[0014]

[Effect of the Invention] The present invention has the above-described configuration.
In the case of (1), the outer peripheral portion of the flange of the valve seat member 11 was sandwiched between the upper end surface of the container body neck and neck and the cap body top plate fitted to the mouth and neck, and the cap body top plate was penetrated. Since the liquid inlets of the nozzle holes 9, 9 are provided so as to be opened and closed by the vertical movement of the operating member valve rod 18, the opening and closing operation is easy, and the valve 20 has a small diameter at the lower portion which hangs down from the inner periphery of the flange 12 described above. Since the lower end opening is formed by the tapered cylinder 14 having the valve hole 13 and the cylindrical valve body 16 fitted to the lower part of the valve rod 18,
Even if there is a slight difference in diameter between the cylindrical valve body and the tapered cylinder, the valve body can be hermetically sealed by pressing the lower surface of the valve body against the inner surface of the tapered cylinder 14, so that the allowable range of manufacturing errors can be increased. Since the cap body 3 has a cap-like shape above the concave portion 6 on the lower surface of the top plate 5, the inside of the concave portion 6 as a valve chamber for moving the cylindrical valve body 16 up and down without increasing the thickness of the entire top plate 5. As a result, the cylindrical valve body does not obstruct the outflow liquid. When the valve 20 is open or closed, the large-diameter knob 17
Approaches the top plate 5 of the cap body, and when the valve is open, the large-diameter knob is pulled up above the top plate 5.
It is convenient to be able to know the open / closed state of the valve 20 at a glance of the large-diameter knob 17.

In the case of the second aspect, in addition to having the above-described effects, the member 25 with the valve seat can be integrally assembled to the cap body 5, so that both members are always integrated with the container body 1. There is convenience that can be treated as.
