The pouring tap A of the present invention is an integrally molded product of synthetic resin that is attached to the mouth 2 of the container body B. The container body B to be mounted has a cylindrical mouth portion 2 and a press-breakable seal wall 3 that closes the upper end opening of the mouth portion 2. This seal wall 3 may be integrally stretched from the inner peripheral upper part of the mouth part 2 as shown in FIG. 4 and adjusted so as to be capable of being pressed and broken by selecting its thickness, material, etc. 2 may be a sheet material that can be pressed and fractured separately from the peripheral edge portion of the sheet material 2 and fixed to the inner periphery of the mouth portion 2 by appropriate fixing means such as fusion, adhesion, or fitting.
[0013]
As the overall shape of the container body B, various forms can be adopted as long as it has the above-described configuration, but a relatively wide-mouthed container body can be preferably employed in consideration of fitting the above-mentioned extraction tap. As shown in the figure, it is possible to preferably use an upright mouth portion having the same diameter as the body portion. Further, when the mouth portion 2 is closed with the seal wall 3, for example, a liquid injection port may be formed at the lower end portion for filling the stored liquid.
[0014]
Further, the container body B in the present invention is not limited to the one in which the entire upper end opening of the mouth portion 2 is covered with the seal wall 3, but may be one in which a part of the upper end opening is closed with the seal wall. Although not illustrated, a window hole that is the same size or at least larger than the outer periphery of a cylindrical cutting blade described later of the spout plug is drilled at a predetermined position on the top wall that is integrally stretched from the upper part of the inner periphery of the mouth portion. A sheet material that is covered and fixed to the top wall of the peripheral portion by an appropriate fixing means such as fusion or adhesion is provided to form a partial seal wall.
[0015]
Further, the container body B according to the present invention has a pouring window hole 5 formed at a predetermined position of the top wall 4 stretched inside the mouth portion 2 and can be peeled off by covering the window hole 5. The sealing material 6 may be fixed. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, a pouring window in which the outer periphery of a cylindrical cutting blade (described later) of the pouring plug A is tightly fitted in a predetermined position on the front portion of the top wall 4 that is integrally stretched from the upper part of the inner periphery of the mouth portion 2. A hole 5 may be drilled to cover the window hole, and a sealing material 6 may be provided on the upper surface of the surrounding top wall 4 so that the peripheral edge is detachably fixed by means such as adhesion.
[0016]
In the illustrated example, the seal wall 3 or the top wall 4 is stretched from the upper end of the mouth portion 2 to a position below the predetermined width, but the portion protruding downward in the fitting cylinder 7 other than the cylindrical cutting blade described later. If there is no, it is possible to extend the seal wall 3 or the top wall 4 from the upper end of the mouth 2.
[0017]
The spout A extends from the upper end edge of the fitting cylinder 7 to be fitted to the upper end of the outer periphery of the mouth portion 2 of the container body B to the top plate 8 that covers the upper end opening of the container body B. The fitting cylinder 7 may be configured to have a larger hanging width than the cap cylinder, a cylindrical cutting blade, a seal cylinder portion, and the like, which will be described later, so as to accommodate portions protruding downward from the top plate 8. With such a configuration, a stable placement state can be maintained, and when it is configured to be mounted on the container body B in an inverted state, which will be described later, there is no upward protruding portion, which is convenient for handling.
[0018]
In addition, the spout A has a base end with a spout hole 9 at the base end, and a spout cylinder 10 is erected upward. The standing position of the dispensing tube 10 is not particularly limited, and may be appropriately selected depending on the size of the container body, the type of stored liquid, physical properties, etc. The extraction tube 10 is erected at an eccentric position close to the part.
[0019]
Also, a dish-shaped cap that can be fitted into the extraction cylinder 10 via a connecting band 12 projecting from the lower end of the outer periphery of the extraction cylinder 10 in the window hole 11 formed in the top plate 8 adjacent to the outer periphery of the extraction cylinder 10 13 is protruding. In other words, the top plate portion defines a connecting band 12 having one end connected to the lower end of the outer periphery of the dispensing tube 10 and a cap 13 in an inverted state in which the other end of the connecting band 12 is connected to the upper end of the outer periphery. ing. The connecting band 12 has a length sufficient to rotate the cap 13 and fit it into the dispensing cylinder 10. In the case of a single unit, a hinge that crosses the intermediate portion may be provided, and it may be configured such that it is not hinged and is maintained in a curved state when mounted on the dispensing cylinder.
[0020]
In the example shown in the drawing, the base tube 8 is opened at the front of the top plate 8 and the pouring tube 10 is erected, and the top plate 8 at the back of the pouring tube 10 is provided with a window hole 11 so that the rear surface of the pouring tube 10 is rear. A cap 13 protrudes from the bottom of the connecting band 12 and protrudes backward from the lower end of the connecting band 12. The cap 13 protrudes from the window hole 11 while being rotated 180 degrees. The outer surfaces of 13 peripheral walls 13a are connected. The connection band 12 includes a main connection band 12a having a hinge 14 that traverses an intermediate portion, and an elastic connection band 12b having elasticity stretched on both sides thereof. The elasticity of the elastic connecting band 12b may be obtained by utilizing the elasticity generally provided by synthetic resins and selecting the strength by selecting the thickness, material, and the like. In addition, a seal cylinder 15 is provided so as to be fitted to the inner surface of the extraction cylinder 10 from the back surface of the top wall 13b. Further, a protruding piece 16 for hooking a finger protrudes from the outer periphery of the rear portion in the inverted state of the cap peripheral wall 13a.

In addition, a seal cylinder portion 17 is provided vertically on the peripheral edge of the back surface of the top plate 8, and an annular wall 18 having a notch 19 formed in front of the extraction cylinder 10 is provided on the peripheral surface of the top plate 8. The annular wall 18 is configured to be able to fit into the container body mouth portion 2 while being inverted upside down when not in use. The protruding upward of the cap 13 is prevented. Then, as shown in FIG. 4, the cap 13 is bent at the hinge 14 portion and the cap 13 is rotated 180 degrees and fitted into the dispensing tube 10. At this time, both elastic connecting bands 12b are maintained in a curved elastic deformation state. Therefore, when the cap 13 is removed, the cap 13 is automatically returned to the original position by the elastic restoring force of each elastic connecting band 12b. The seal cylinder 15 is closely fitted to the inner periphery of the dispensing cylinder 10 to prevent leakage of the liquid from this portion, and the finger-hanging protrusion 16 protrudes forward from the notch 19.
[0022]
Further, a cylindrical cutting blade 20 is provided below the top plate 8 so as to communicate with the pouring hole 9. The cutting blade 20 can have various shapes as long as it has a length that penetrates at least the window hole 5 of the seal wall 3 or the top wall 4 when it is mounted. May be formed diagonally, and the lower end edge may be formed sharply so that the seal wall 3 is more easily pressed and broken. Alternatively, although not shown, the lower end edge may be formed sharply or in a saw shape. It is also possible to form on the cutting edge.
[0023]
The pouring tap A as described above can be formed by integral molding of synthetic resin by a method of vertically extracting the mold, and can be formed with many molds.
[0024]
The case where the spout A configured as described above is attached to the container body B whose entire opening is covered with the seal wall 3 will be described as an example. For example, as shown in FIG. The fitting cylinder 7 is fitted into the mouth portion 2 from above the container body B by moving and fitting into the dispensing cylinder 10. Next, as shown in FIG. 4 (b), when the pouring tap A is pushed down to the end, the cylindrical cutting blade 20 breaks the seal wall 3, and the inside of the container body B and the inside of the pouring cylinder 10 communicate with each other. The tube portion 17 is closely fitted to the inner periphery of the mouth portion 2. At this time, the fracture edge portion of the seal wall is tightly fitted to the outer periphery of the cutting blade, and this portion is provided with liquid tightness. Next, the liquid can be poured by removing the cap 13 and tilting the container.
[0025]
In addition, when the liquid in the container body B is used up, it is possible to remove the spout A from the container and attach it to a new container body again. Further, in the case where the container body B has a partial sealing wall as described above or has a dispensing window hole 5, a mark is provided on the dispensing stopper A and the container body B for easy alignment. It is also possible to make it. FIG. 6 shows a state in which the dispensing tap A is attached to the container body B in an inverted state and in a non-communication state between the container body B and the inside of the dispensing cylinder 10 as a form at the time of sale, etc. Is fitted to the mouth portion 2a above the seal wall 3, the pouring stopper is attached to the container body, and the periphery thereof is covered with a known shrink film 21.
