A pouring cylinder 20 is erected on the partition wall 8 along the inner peripheral edge, and the pouring cylinder 20 includes a lower guide cylinder 21 and an upper reduced diameter cylinder 22 that is reduced in diameter from the guide cylinder 21. ing.
As shown in FIGS. 2B and 2C, on the outer periphery of the guide tube 21, a vertical groove 23 and an inclined groove 24 extending obliquely upward from its lower end and disposed in an angle range of 90 degrees are engraved. In the vicinity of the lower ends of the vertical groove 23 and the inclined groove 24, locking protrusions 25 and 26 are provided.
At the upper end of the guide tube 21 corresponding to the inclined groove 24, a notch 27 is provided that is inclined so as to descend toward the vertical groove 23.
[0012]
A bulging ring 28 is provided on the outer periphery of the upper end of the reduced diameter cylinder 22, and a plug member 30 is connected to the inner periphery of the upper end via a plurality of support rods 29. A pouring channel 31 is formed between the inner periphery.
[0013]
As shown in FIG. 3, the drinking tube C includes a top wall 35, an engagement tube 36, and an outer peripheral wall 37. The top wall 35 has an elliptical shape, and a dispensing opening is formed at the center thereof. 38 is perforated, and the peripheral edge portion is a bulging portion 39.
[0014]
On the inner periphery of the lower end of the engagement cylinder 36, a bulging ring 40 that is fitted and guided to the reduced diameter cylinder 22 of the dispensing cylinder 20 and engages with the bulging ring 28 is provided. At the position corresponding to the major axis of the ellipse, an engaging rod 42 provided with an engaging element 41 that is inserted and inserted into the inclined groove 24 through the vertical groove 23 at the lower end is suspended.
The outer peripheral wall 37 hangs down from the outer periphery of the engagement cylinder 36 at the elliptical short diameter portion, and from the bulging portion 39 of the top wall 35 at the long diameter portion, and the lower portion is a cylinder 43 having an enlarged diameter. .
[0015]
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the hinge mechanism B2 includes a hinge 45 and a corrugated elastic plate 46 disposed on both sides thereof.
The overcap B3 includes a top wall 47 and a side peripheral wall 48, and is connected to the cap base B1 via an elastic plate 46 of the hinge 45.
A knob 49 protrudes from the lower end of the side peripheral wall 48 on the opposite side of the hinge mechanism B2.
[0016]
As shown in FIG. 4, the virgin protection mechanism D is connected to the cap base B1 with a connecting piece 50 and a connecting plate 51, and is provided with a locking portion 52 that engages with a knob 49 of the overcap B3 at substantially the center. A plate 53 is used.
[0017]
Next, usage modes and effects of the container of the present embodiment will be described.
In assembling the overcap B3, first, the drinking tube C is fitted into the dispensing tube 20 of the cap base B1. At this time, the engaging element 41 of the engaging rod 42 of the drinking tube C is inserted into the longitudinal groove 23. When it is inserted into and pushed down, it gets over the locking protrusion 25 and reaches the bottom, and its position is maintained.
In the insertion, the notch 27 is provided at the upper end of the guide tube 21, so that the engaging element 41 is guided to the upper part of the vertical groove 23 along the inclination of the notch 27, so that the insertion is easy. ing.
[0018]
The container is filled with a beverage, covered with an overcap sealed by a virgin protection mechanism, and shipped to the market.
At this time, since the virgin protection mechanism D is applied, when the plate body 53 is intentionally and accidentally removed and the hinge cap B is opened at the store, the connecting piece 50 and the connecting plate 51 are cut, and the plate Since the body 53 is deformed, the presence / absence of fraud can be immediately identified from the appearance.
[0019]
Further, when the hinge cap B is rotated and raised, the connecting piece 10 is cut, the side peripheral wall 5 and the sealing ring 11 are separated, and the gap is widened, so that the presence or absence of fraud can be immediately identified from the appearance.
[0020]
In drinking and drinking, first, the plate body 53 of the virgin protection mechanism D is pulled outward, the connection piece 50 and the connection plate 51 are cut, the virgin protection mechanism D is peeled off, and the hinge cap B is opened.
Next, when the cylinder 43 of the sucking cylinder C is rotated counterclockwise, the engaging element 41 is guided by the inclined groove 24, and the sucking cylinder C is rotated at the same time as rising, as shown in FIG. In the position, the top wall 35 has an elliptical long diameter line “a” coinciding with the direction of the overcap B3.
[0021]
When the sucking tube C is added to the mouth, the ellipse long diameter portion can be set in the horizontal direction, and the overcap B3 comes to the side of the face, and does not interfere with sucking.
At this time, since it is a hinge cap, it is not detached from the cap base B1, and the overcap is not lost as in the prior art.
When the drinking is over, close the overcap B3 and keep the container.
At that time, since the sucking cylinder C is covered with the overcap B3, it is hygienic without dust and germs in the air adhering thereto.
[0022]
When all the beverages that have been stored are consumed and the container is to be discarded, when the hinge cap B is turned, the locking piece 12 at the lower end of the side peripheral wall 5 rides on the engaging piece 13b and presses the engaging piece 13b. Thus, the gap between the lower end surface of the side peripheral wall 5 and the sealing ring 11 is increased to cut the connecting piece 10 and to separate the sealing ring 11 from the lower end of the side peripheral wall 5.
When the hinge cap B is further rotated, it can be removed from the container mouth tube portion A, and the container and the hinge cap B can be separated.
[0023]
Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described.
In this embodiment, a screw cap is used instead of the screw cap in the first embodiment, and for the same configuration, the same reference numeral is attached with the suffix a to simplify the description, Hereinafter, the difference will be mainly described.
