Description

Description: TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a container lid with a spout, which is particularly effectively applied to a container for dispensing liquid such as lard oil.

(Prior Art and Problems Thereof) Conventionally, container lids with spouts have been generally adopted in the field of food containers, for example.

A well-known container lid with a spout generally includes a plug provided at a container mouth and an upper lid held by the plug, and a score for forming a spout is provided on the top surface of the plug. When,
An ejection tube is provided so as to completely surround the score, and a grip ring for tearing the score and forming an outlet is provided inside the ejection tube.

That is, the score is broken by pulling the holding ring by hand to form a spout. However, in such a container lid with a spout, it is difficult to pinch the gripping ring with a finger because the gripping ring is formed inside the pouring cylinder, especially when applied to a dispensing container such as lard oil. Since the diameter of the pouring cylinder is extremely small, it is extremely difficult to break the score by pulling the grip ring.

Further, in order to solve such a problem, a container lid in which a gripping ring is connected to the dispensing cylinder itself and the ring is larger than the dispensing cylinder has been proposed (Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 52-12675).

However, although this prior art container lid has an advantage that the gripping ring can be easily picked with a finger, it is necessary to break the spout cylinder itself in forming the spout, so that the spout is not formed. There is a problem that it is not easy, and since the gripping ring is located at a position higher than the dispensing cylinder, the stopper is taller and the container lid is larger than the conventional one. .

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention uses a projection having a substantially U-shaped cross section as viewed from above in place of a spout cylinder as a spout guide, and a spout forming score. Is surrounded by the pouring guide projection, and a support is provided near the score end located at a portion not surrounded by the pouring guide projection,
The above-mentioned problem is solved by providing a gripping ring for tearing the score around the spout guide projections.

That is, according to the present invention, in a container lid comprising a plug provided at the container mouth and an upper lid held by the plug, the plug is provided with a top surface and a lower portion extending from a peripheral portion of the top surface. And a skirt portion that hangs down from the container and engages with the container mouth. On the top surface, there is formed a spout forming portion defined by a score, and a protrusion for pouring guide positioned outside the score. And the spouting guide projection has a substantially U-shaped cross section when viewed from above, a part of the score is surrounded by the spouting guide projection, and the spouting guide projection The end of the score, which is to be a tear start portion, is located at a portion not surrounded by the protrusion, and a column is formed near the end of the score. From the upper end of the column, A score that extends around the protrusion Note container closure having an outlet, characterized in that the gripping ring 裂用 is provided is provided.

(Example) A container lid of the present invention will be described below based on a specific example shown in the accompanying drawings.

1 and 2, which show a plan view and a side sectional view of a container lid of the present invention, the container lid comprises a plug 1 and an upper lid 2.

In the example shown in the accompanying drawings, the upper lid 2 is hingedly connected to the plug 1, and the upper lid 2 is open. Of course, the upper lid 2 may be configured to engage with the plug 1 with a screw.

The plug 1 includes a top surface 3 and a skirt portion 4 hanging down from a peripheral portion of the top surface 3. The skirt portion 4 is fitted or engaged with a container opening (not shown). It is a match.

On the inner surface of the upper lid 2, a circumferential protrusion 6 for engagement is formed so as to be positioned exactly on the plug 1, and circumferential protrusions 7, 8 for engagement are also formed on the top surface 3 of the plug 1. When the upper lid 2 is closed by the engagement of the projections 6 and the outer wall portions of the upper lid 2 with the projections 7 and 8, the position of the upper lid 2 is effectively fixed.

In the present invention, a spout forming portion 10 is defined on the top surface 3 of the plug 1 by a score 11.
An ejection guide projection 12 is provided so as to be located outside the outside.

That is, a spout is formed in the portion 10 by the breakage of the score 11, and the spouting guide projection 12 acts as a guide for the spouted liquid at the time of pouring out the solution in the container and prevents dripping and the like. It is.

According to the present invention, as clearly shown in FIG. 1 in particular, the dispensing guide projection 12 is not cylindrical but has a substantially U-shaped cross section when viewed from the top. Therefore, the top surface 3 has an open portion 12a that is not surrounded by the ejection guide projection 12.
Exists. Although the score 11 described above is partially surrounded by the spout guide projection 12, the end of the score 11, in other words, the end 10a of the spout forming portion is located at the opening 12a. ing.

In the present invention, the support 15 is provided near the end 10a of the spout forming portion, which is the end of the score 11, and the holding ring 16 is provided at the upper end of the support 15. This grip ring
The reference numeral 16 is formed so as to surround the ejection guide projection 12. By gripping the gripping ring 16 with a finger and pulling it up, the score 11 is torn, and the spout forming portion is formed.
A spout will be formed at 10.

The spouting guide projection 12 has a flange 12 for preventing liquid dripping at an upper end of a portion opposite to the opening 12a.
It is desirable that b is formed. This flange part 12b
Extends to the step indicated by reference numeral 20 in FIG.

Further, in the container lid of the present invention, as is apparent from FIG.
It is preferable that the inclined surface is formed so as to become lower from the side opposite to 12a) toward the opening 12a side. That is, at the time of pouring out the content liquid, the liquid that drips outside the pouring guide protrusion 12 flows along the inclined surface, and is collected inside the container through the opening portion located on the opening portion 12a side. Because it will be.

Further, as described above, in the mode in which the upper lid 2 is connected to the plug 1 by hinge connection, when the upper lid 2 is turned and closed, the circumferential projection 6 provided on the inner surface of the upper lid 2 is provided.
Are tightly engaged with the inner surface of the circumferential projection 7 of the top surface 3. Therefore, even when the score 11 is broken to form a spout, good sealing properties can be ensured. Further, the circumferential projection 8 of the top surface 3 engages with the wall surface of the upper cover 2 when the upper cover 2 is turned and closed. Thereby, the upper lid 2 is firmly fixed in the closed state.

The above-described container lid is easily manufactured by integrally forming a plastic such as polypropylene.

(Effects of the Invention) According to the present invention, the diameter of the gripping ring is not limited by the size of the ejection guide projection, and the diameter can be set large. The tearing of the score can be easily started. Therefore, there is a remarkable advantage that the pouring opening can be easily formed.

Further, in the present invention, since the support of the gripping ring is provided completely separately from the ejection guide projection, the position of the ring is not required to be higher than the upper end of the ejection guide projection. The diameter of the ring can be increased, and the height of the lid itself does not need to be increased as compared with conventionally known ones.

As described above, the container lid of the present invention is extremely useful as a lid used for a container for dispensing liquids such as oil and fragrance.
