  Referring to FIGS. 1 to 4, the composite container lid of the present invention has a cap body indicated by 1 as a whole and an opening / closing member indicated generally by 3.

  The cap body 1 is attached to a container mouth portion (not shown), and includes a top plate portion 5 and a cylindrical side wall 7, and the top plate portion 5 and the cylindrical side wall 7 have a curved shoulder portion 9. As shown in the drawing, the cylindrical side wall 7 has a slightly flared shape.

  The inner surface of the cylindrical side wall 7 is formed with a thread 11 that is threadedly engaged with the outer surface of the container mouth portion, and the inner surface of the shoulder portion 9 is spaced from the inner surface of the cylindrical side wall 7. An inner ring 13 descending downward is formed, and an annular small protrusion 15 is formed between the inner ring 13 and the cylindrical side wall 7. That is, when the cap body 1 is attached to the container mouth by screw engagement with the thread 11, the upper portion of the container mouth enters the space between the inner ring 13 and the cylindrical side wall 7, and the container mouth When the inner surface is in close contact with the outer surface of the inner ring 13 and the upper end surface of the container mouth is in contact with the annular small protrusion 15, a good seal is formed.

  The shoulder portion 9 is not necessarily formed. The peripheral edge of the top plate portion 5 is directly connected to the upper end of the cylindrical side wall 7, and the inner ring 13 and the annular small protrusion are formed on the inner surface of the top plate portion 5. 15 can also be formed.

  A first content liquid outlet (hereinafter simply referred to as a first outlet) 17 is formed in the central portion of the top plate portion 5, and the first outlet 17 is surrounded on the outer surface of the top plate portion 5. As described above, the opening / closing member holding cylinder 19 is formed upright. Although not shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, a protrusion for preventing the slip-off of the opening / closing member 3 is formed on the upper portion of the outer surface of the holding cylinder 19. Further, a plug body 21 standing upright is provided at the central portion of the first spout 17, and the plug body 21 is formed by a plurality of bridges 23 provided at appropriate intervals. The spout 17 is connected to the top plate 5 at the peripheral edge (see FIG. 4). That is, as understood from FIG. 4, the plurality of bridges 23 are provided so as not to block the first spout 17, and the space in the container is the top plate portion 5 through the gaps of the plurality of bridges. It communicates with the external space.

  On the other hand, the opening / closing member 3 provided on the cap body 1 so as to be slidable up and down includes a top wall 31 and a skirt wall 33 descending from the periphery of the top wall 31, as can be understood from the figure. In this example, the top wall 31 has a dome shape.

  A relatively small-diameter second content liquid outlet (hereinafter simply referred to as a second outlet) 35 is formed at the center of the top wall 31, and a seal ring 37 is formed from the inner surface of the top wall 31. And a guide ring 39 located outside the seal ring 37 extends downward. That is, the seal ring 37 functions as a seal member that is in close contact with the inner surface of the opening / closing member holding cylinder 19, and the guide ring 39 functions as an engagement member that engages with the outer surface of the opening / closing member holding cylinder 19. is there. As apparent from FIGS. 2 and 3, the opening / closing member 19 is fitted into the space between the seal ring 37 and the guide ring 39 by fitting an opening / closing member holding cylinder (hereinafter simply referred to as a holding cylinder) 19 of the cap body 1. 3 is held by the cap body 1 so as to be slidable up and down.

  The outer surface of the seal ring 37 is slidable in close contact with the inner surface of the holding cylinder 19, and is omitted in the drawing, but the lower portion of the guide ring 39 is located above the outer surface of the holding cylinder 19. An undercut is formed to engage with the protrusion formed on the surface. That is, when the opening / closing member 3 is slid to the uppermost position (see FIG. 3), the undercut engages with the protrusion on the outer surface of the holding cylinder 19, so that the opening / closing member 3 is completely removed from the cap body 1. Is to be prevented. When the opening / closing member 3 is lowered to the lowest position (see FIG. 2), the second spout 35 is closed by the upper end portion of the plug body 21 provided in the cap body 1, and the seal ring 37. Since the outer surface of the container is in close contact with the inner surface of the holding cylinder 19, the inner space of the container is well sealed.

  The guide ring 39 provided with an undercut is not necessarily in the shape of a ring, and the guide ring 39 is divided into an arc shape as long as the opening and closing member 3 moves smoothly and prevents slipping off. It is also possible to form it. Further, instead of forming such a guide ring 39, a protrusion that engages with a protrusion formed on the outer surface of the holding cylinder 19 can be provided on the lower portion of the inner surface of the skirt wall 33 of the opening / closing member 3.

  In the composite container lid of the present invention, a knob ring member 50 is provided so as to surround the opening / closing member 3. As shown in FIG. 5, the knob ring member 50 includes a plurality of connecting members. 51 is connected to the opening / closing member 3. That is, when the pick ring member 50 is held and lifted by hand, the opening / closing member 3 is slid upward to open the second spout 35 as shown in FIG. The outlet 17 and the second spout 35 are communicated. Therefore, the content liquid is poured out by tilting the container in this state. Further, after the pouring is finished, the opening and closing member 3 is slid to the lowest position by pushing down the pick ring member 50 by hand, and the second spout 35 is closed by the upper end portion of the plug body 21. (See FIG. 2).

  In the present invention, it is important to form the space 53 between the plurality of connecting members 51 provided as described above. That is, when the content liquid is poured out, the content liquid poured out may hang down along the outer surface of the opening / closing member 3, but the space 53 is escaped from the dripped liquid. Even if such dripping occurs, the dripping liquid flows down from the space 53 and does not contaminate the pick ring member 50. For this reason, when this pick ring member 50 is held by hand and the opening / closing member 3 is slid up and down, it is possible to effectively prevent the hand from being soiled by the dripping liquid.

  In the present invention, the plurality of connecting members 51 as described above are generally provided point-symmetrically so that the opening / closing member 3 can be slid straight upward, but the number and size thereof are not particularly limited. If the number is increased more than necessary, the space 53 is narrowed, and there is a risk that the dripping liquid from the space 53 may be insufficiently escaped. If the length of the connecting member 51 is made too short, the connecting member The picking ring member 50 may be soiled by the liquid dripping through 51. Accordingly, the number and size of the connecting members 51 are preferably appropriate depending on the size of the container mouth or the size of the opening / closing member 3.

  In the present invention, as shown in the cross-sectional view of FIG. 6, it is preferable that the upper portion of the connecting member 51 has an angle shape. That is, when the shape of the connecting member 51 is such a mountain shape, even if the liquid content hangs down on the connecting member 51, the dropped liquid is guided downward along the mountain shape of the connecting member 51, Contamination of the pick ring member 50 can be effectively prevented.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 7, it is preferable to form the step h by setting the upper surface 51 a of the connecting member 51 to a position lower than the upper surface 50 a of the ring member 50. If it does in this way, the transfer to the ring member 50 of the liquid which dripped on the upper surface 51a of the connection member 51 can be prevented effectively.

  Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 7, the inner peripheral side of the upper surface 50 a of the ring member 50 is preferably an inclined surface 50 b that is lowered inward. That is, the connecting member 51 is connected to the lower side of the inclined surface 50b. However, the inclined surface 50b not only makes it difficult for the liquid dripping on the upper surface 51a of the connecting member 51 to move to the ring member 50 side. Even if the liquid moves to the ring member 50 side, it returns to the connecting member 51 side again along the inclined surface 50b, so that contamination of the ring member 50 can be effectively prevented.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 1 and the like, it is preferable to provide a projection 55 for shutting off the content liquid on the lower surface of the ring member 50 as described above. By providing such a blocking projection 55, it is possible to effectively prevent the liquid content dripping on the connecting member 51 from flowing from the lower side to the lower surface of the ring member 50.

  In the above example, as shown in FIG. 3, the blocking protrusion 55 is formed over the entire circumference of the ring member 50, but is not necessarily provided over the entire circumference. For example, a plurality of connecting members 51 are provided. A plurality of blocking protrusions 55 can be provided intermittently so as to straddle each of the extended lines. That is, even when a plurality of blocking protrusions 55 are provided intermittently, as long as the blocking protrusions 55 are formed so as to straddle the extended line of the connecting member 51, the ring member 50 from the lower side of the connecting member 51. It is possible to effectively prevent the liquid from flowing into the side.

  In the present invention, the size of the ring member 50 is not particularly limited. However, as can be understood from FIG. 1, the outer diameter D of the ring member 50 is increased from the periphery of the top plate portion 5 of the cap body 1. It is preferable to set the outer diameter d of the extending shoulder portion 9 (corresponding to the outer diameter of the upper end of the cylindrical side wall 7). That is, even if the dripping liquid adheres to the shoulder portion 9 of the cap body 1, if the size of the ring member 50 is set as described above, when the ring member 50 is picked by hand, It is possible to effectively prevent the disadvantage that the hands are soiled by the liquid adhering to the shoulder portion 9.

  The above-described composite container lid of the present invention is extremely useful as a cap for containers that contain a highly viscous liquid such as a liquid detergent.
