Description

本発明は、容器の口部に取付けられるキャップに関する。   The present invention relates to a cap attached to a mouth of a container.

従来、シャンプーや全身洗浄料などの液体、粘性体の内容物が充填された容器の口部には、弾性変形可能なヒンジによってキャップ本体に連結されたリクローズ可能な構造を有する軟質の合成樹脂製のキャップが冠着されている。   Conventionally, the mouth of a container filled with liquid or viscous material such as shampoo or whole body cleaning material is made of a soft synthetic resin having a recloseable structure connected to the cap body by an elastically deformable hinge. The cap is worn.

このようなキャップに設けられたヒンジは、通常は強度や屈曲性等の条件を満たす太さ(肉厚)、形状とされているが、物性上の強度不足等を補う種々の提案も成されている(例えば、特許文献1参照)。   The hinges provided on such caps are usually thick (thickness) and shape that satisfy conditions such as strength and flexibility, but various proposals have been made to make up for insufficient physical strength. (For example, refer to Patent Document 1).

図1に示す特許文献1に記載の例では、キャップ30は、キャップ本体31と蓋32が、一対のヒンジ33により連結されており、蓋32内側のヒンジ33寄りには、所定の間隔で一対の壁部34を蓋32の開閉方向に沿ってほぼ平行に延出させ、キャップ本体31上面には一対の溝部35を形成して、蓋32を閉じたときに壁部34が溝部35に係合するようにされている。これにより、蓋32に横方向や捻り方向の外力が加わっても、壁部34及び溝部35の係合部分による抵抗力で小さくされるため、ヒンジ33に掛かる力も弱められるとされている。
特開2001−206415号公報
In the example described in Patent Document 1 shown in FIG. 1, a cap 30 includes a cap body 31 and a lid 32 connected by a pair of hinges 33, and a pair of hinges 33 inside the lid 32 is disposed at a predetermined interval. The wall portion 34 is extended substantially in parallel along the opening / closing direction of the lid 32, and a pair of groove portions 35 are formed on the upper surface of the cap body 31. When the lid 32 is closed, the wall portion 34 is engaged with the groove portion 35. To match. As a result, even if an external force in the lateral direction or twist direction is applied to the lid 32, the force applied to the hinge 33 is also weakened because the resistance is reduced by the engaging portion of the wall portion 34 and the groove portion 35.
JP 2001-206415 A

しかし、壁部34と溝部35はキャップの開閉方向に対してほぼ平行に設置されているため、開閉時にこのキャップに斜め方向の強い押圧力が加わった場合には、ヒンジ部が破損される恐れがある。   However, since the wall portion 34 and the groove portion 35 are installed substantially parallel to the opening / closing direction of the cap, if a strong pressing force is applied to the cap at the time of opening / closing, the hinge portion may be damaged. There is.

本発明は上記事実を考慮して、蓋に加わる捻り力等によって生じるヒンジの破損を改善させたキャップを提供することを課題とする。   In view of the above facts, an object of the present invention is to provide a cap in which breakage of a hinge caused by a twisting force applied to a lid is improved.

請求項1に記載の発明は容器の口部に取付けられ口部を密封する本体部と、該本体部の上面に設けられ、前記容器の内容物を注出する注出口と、該注出口とともに前記本体部の上面を覆う蓋部と、該蓋部の外側に設けられ、該蓋部を前記本体部に開閉可能に連結するヒンジ部と、前記本体部の上面の前記注出口と前記ヒンジ部の連結部との間に前記蓋部の開閉方向に対し斜めに延設して、略ハの字状に対向して配置された一対の平板状の係合壁と、前記蓋部の内側に設けられ、前記蓋部が閉じた状態で前記一対の係合壁の内側に嵌め込まれるようにして近接係合する、略ハの字状に配設された一対の平板状の被係合壁とを有するキャップである。 According to the first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a main body portion that is attached to the mouth portion of the container and seals the mouth portion, a spout provided on the upper surface of the main body portion, for pouring the contents of the container, and the spout A lid that covers the upper surface of the main body, a hinge that is provided outside the lid and connects the lid to the main body so as to be openable and closable, and the spout and the hinge on the upper surface of the main body A pair of flat plate-like engagement walls disposed obliquely with respect to the opening and closing direction of the lid portion and disposed substantially opposite to the C shape, and on the inner side of the lid portion. A pair of engaged walls in the form of a substantially flat C-shape, which are disposed in close proximity so as to be fitted inside the pair of engaging walls with the lid portion closed; It is a cap which has.

請求項1の発明では注出口とともに本体部の上面を覆うための蓋部が、ある範囲の蓋の開き角度に達するまで、本体上部の係合壁が蓋部内側の被係合壁に係合する。   According to the first aspect of the present invention, the engaging wall at the upper part of the main body engages with the engaged wall inside the lid until the lid for covering the upper surface of the main body together with the spout reaches a certain range of the lid opening angle. To do.

そこで、蓋部に、開閉方向に対して、平行方向(前後方向)、直交方向(横方向)、あるいは捻り方向等の外力が加わった場合、本体部上部の係合壁と蓋部の内側に設けられた被係合壁が、その外力に対する抵抗力を発生させるため、捻り力や衝撃力が蓋部に加わって生じるヒンジ部の破損が改善できる。また、キャップの蓋部に横方向や捻り方向の外力が加わった際に生じる、キャップの蓋部の外側に位置するヒンジ部を中心とした回転モーメントが、本体部上面の係合壁と蓋部内側の被係合壁の係合部分による抵抗力で小さくされるため、ヒンジ部に掛かる力も弱められる。   Therefore, when an external force such as a parallel direction (front-rear direction), an orthogonal direction (lateral direction), or a twist direction is applied to the lid in the opening / closing direction, Since the provided engaged wall generates a resistance force against the external force, it is possible to improve the breakage of the hinge portion caused by a twisting force or an impact force applied to the lid portion. In addition, the rotational moment centered on the hinge located outside the lid of the cap, which is generated when a lateral or twisting external force is applied to the lid of the cap, causes the engagement wall and the lid on the upper surface of the main body. Since it is made small by the resistance force by the engaging portion of the inner engaged wall, the force applied to the hinge portion is also weakened.

請求項2に記載の発明は、請求項1に記載のキャップにおいて前記蓋部を前記本体部側に付勢する付勢手段を有し、前記蓋部が前記本体部側に付勢された状態で、前記係合壁は前記被係合部に係合されている。   Invention of Claim 2 has a biasing means which urges | biases the said cover part to the said main body part side in the cap of Claim 1, and the said cover part is urged | biased to the said main body part side The engaging wall is engaged with the engaged portion.

請求項2に記載の発明では、蓋部が付勢手段によって本体部側に付勢された状態のときに、係合部は被係合部に係合するため、例えば、蓋部を本体部に嵌合させてロックする構造のキャップにおいても、ロックしていない付勢状態の蓋部に外力が加わった際、係合部分での抵抗力によってヒンジ部に掛かる負荷が低減される。   In the invention according to claim 2, since the engaging portion engages with the engaged portion when the lid portion is urged toward the main body portion by the urging means, for example, the lid portion is attached to the main body portion. Even when the cap is configured to be fitted and locked to the cap, when an external force is applied to the unlocked lid portion, the load applied to the hinge portion is reduced by the resistance force at the engaging portion.

また、蓋部を本体部に嵌合させ、ロックして閉じるものではなく、付勢手段によって本体部側に付勢させるのみで閉じた状態とする構造においても、同様に、蓋部の捻り等で加わるヒンジ部への力が係合部分によって抑えられる。   In addition, in the structure in which the lid portion is not fitted and locked to the main body portion but closed only by being urged to the main body portion side by the urging means, similarly, the lid portion is twisted, etc. The force applied to the hinge portion is suppressed by the engaging portion.

ここで、容器の落下等によりキャップに直接大きな押圧力が加わった場合、蓋部と本体部とは互いに離れる方向へ変形しようとするが、それぞれに設置された係合壁が互いに係合しているため、左右方向、前後方向および捻り方向のいずれの引き離し力に対しても 大きな抵抗力が生じる。よって、弾性部材からなるヒンジ部の容器落下等による破損が改善できる。   Here, when a large pressing force is directly applied to the cap due to a drop of the container or the like, the lid portion and the main body portion try to deform away from each other, but the engaging walls installed in each of them are engaged with each other. Therefore, a large resistance force is generated against any pulling force in the left-right direction, the front-rear direction, and the twist direction. Therefore, the damage by the container fall etc. of the hinge part which consists of an elastic member can be improved.

また係合壁、被係合壁ともヒンジ部付近に、蓋部の開閉方向に対して斜めに配置されているため、蓋部の開閉動作を妨げることなく、スムーズな係合が可能となる。   Further, since both the engaging wall and the engaged wall are disposed in the vicinity of the hinge portion and obliquely with respect to the opening / closing direction of the lid portion, smooth engagement is possible without hindering the opening / closing operation of the lid portion.

本発明のキャップによれば、蓋に加わる捻り力等によって生じるヒンジの破損を改善できる。   According to the cap of the present invention, the breakage of the hinge caused by the twisting force applied to the lid can be improved.

そして、本実施形態のキャップ12は、図4及び図5にも示すように、薄肉ヒンジ部15を介して本体部13の周縁に開閉可能に連結された蓋14を有し、本体部13の中央部分に形成された注出口16に蓋14から内側に突出する棒状突起物17を挿入して、蓋14の閉塞時に注出口16を封止するキャップであって、本体部13には、注出口16と薄肉ヒンジ部15の連結部18との間に、蓋14の開閉方向Xに対し斜めに延設して略ハの字状に対向して配置された一対の係合壁19が形成されており、蓋14には、蓋14の閉塞時に係合壁19と対応して係合する被係合壁20が内側に突出して設けられている。   4 and 5, the cap 12 of the present embodiment has a lid 14 that is connected to the periphery of the main body 13 via a thin hinge 15 so as to be opened and closed. This is a cap that inserts a rod-like protrusion 17 projecting inward from the lid 14 into the spout 16 formed in the central portion and seals the spout 16 when the lid 14 is closed. A pair of engagement walls 19 are formed between the outlet 16 and the connecting portion 18 of the thin hinge portion 15 so as to extend obliquely with respect to the opening / closing direction X of the lid 14 and to be opposed to each other in a substantially C shape. The lid 14 is provided with an engaged wall 20 that protrudes inward to engage with the engaging wall 19 when the lid 14 is closed.

本実施形態では、キャップ12は、合成樹脂成形品であって、中空スカート状の本体部13の天面板13aの中央部分から下方に突出する円筒状の雌ねじ部13bを、容器本体11の頭部11bに設けられた雄ねじに螺合することにより、各側面12dを容器本体11の側面11dに連続させた状態で(図3参照)、同じく合成樹脂成形品である容器本体11の上端部分に取り付けられる。また本体部13の天面板13aの中央部分には、容器本体11の頭部11b及びキャップ12の雌ねじ部13bの内側に配置されて、例えば円形の注出口16が周縁部に環状突部16aを突出させて開口形成されている。この注出口16を介して、容器本体11に収容された液体洗剤等を注出できるようになっていると共に、この注出口16には、蓋14の中央部分から下方に突出する例えば中空円筒状の棒状突起物17が着脱可能に挿入係止されて、蓋14の開閉操作に伴って注出口16を開閉することができるようになっている。   In the present embodiment, the cap 12 is a synthetic resin molded product, and a cylindrical female screw portion 13 b that protrudes downward from a central portion of the top plate 13 a of the hollow skirt-shaped main body portion 13 is replaced with a head portion of the container main body 11. Attached to the upper end portion of the container body 11 that is also a synthetic resin molded product, with the side surfaces 12d connected to the side surface 11d of the container body 11 (see FIG. 3), by screwing into the male screw provided on 11b. It is done. In addition, the central portion of the top plate 13a of the main body 13 is arranged inside the head 11b of the container main body 11 and the female thread 13b of the cap 12, and for example, a circular spout 16 has an annular protrusion 16a at the periphery. An opening is formed by projecting. A liquid detergent or the like accommodated in the container main body 11 can be poured out through the spout 16, and the spout 16 has, for example, a hollow cylindrical shape protruding downward from the central portion of the lid 14. The bar-shaped protrusion 17 is detachably inserted and locked so that the spout 16 can be opened and closed as the lid 14 is opened and closed.

蓋14は、薄肉ヒンジ部15を介在させて本体部13と一体成形されることにより、本体部13に対して開閉可能に連結した状態で形成される。蓋14は、本体部13と同様の一箇所の角部12e’が面取りされた略4角形の平面形状を備えると共に、上端周縁部が外側に迫り出すように形成されており、指を係止し易くして開閉操作を容易に行えるようになっている。また、薄肉ヒンジ部15が設けられた角部12e’とは対角位置にある蓋14の角部12eには、上端周縁部の下側部分を凹ませて指欠け凹部22が形成されており、薄肉ヒンジ部15の本来の開放方向Xに蓋14を開放させる正しい指の係止位置を案内している。さらに、蓋14の下面側には、同心状に配置された中空円筒状の棒状突起物17と支持円筒23とが中央部分から下方に突出して設けられている。棒状突起物17は、注出口16の内径と略同等の外径を有していると共に、その下端外周面に、注出口16の内径よりも外径が僅かに大きくなった環状段差部17aを備えている。蓋14の下端周縁部14aが本体部13の上端周縁部13cに当接するまで蓋14を閉塞した際に、棒状突起物17の環状段差部17aが、注出口16を押し広げるように弾性変形させつつ注出口16に挿入されて注出口16の下端周縁に係止されることにより、蓋14による本体部13及び注出口16の閉塞状態を、十分な係合力で着脱可能にロックしておくことが可能になる。   The lid 14 is formed integrally with the main body portion 13 with the thin hinge portion 15 interposed therebetween, thereby being connected to the main body portion 13 so as to be openable and closable. The lid 14 has a substantially quadrangular planar shape in which one corner 12 e ′ is chamfered similar to the main body 13, and is formed so that the upper peripheral edge protrudes outward to lock the finger. This makes it easy to open and close. Further, the corner 12e of the lid 14 that is diagonally opposite to the corner 12e 'provided with the thin-walled hinge portion 15 is formed with a finger notch recess 22 by recessing the lower portion of the upper peripheral edge. The correct finger locking position for opening the lid 14 in the original opening direction X of the thin hinge 15 is guided. Further, on the lower surface side of the lid 14, a hollow cylindrical rod-like protrusion 17 and a support cylinder 23 that are concentrically arranged are provided so as to protrude downward from the central portion. The rod-shaped protrusion 17 has an outer diameter substantially equal to the inner diameter of the spout 16, and an annular stepped portion 17a whose outer diameter is slightly larger than the inner diameter of the spout 16 on the outer peripheral surface of the lower end.

キャップ12の本体部13と蓋14とを連結する薄肉ヒンジ部15は、薄肉ヒンジ部として公知のものであり、図5に示すように、例えば中央が薄肉となっていることにより二つ折りに折り曲げ可能な一対の帯状部分25によって構成されている。また薄肉ヒンジ部15は、これらの平行に配置された一対の帯状部分25の間に配置されて、本体部13に対して蓋14を開く側や閉じる側に付勢する付勢手段としての弾性片24を備えており、いわゆるクリアテックヒンジ形式のヒンジ部となっている。   The thin-walled hinge portion 15 that connects the main body portion 13 and the lid 14 of the cap 12 is a well-known thin-walled hinge portion, and as shown in FIG. It is constituted by a pair of possible belt-like portions 25. The thin hinge 15 is disposed between the pair of parallel strips 25 and is elastic as an urging means for urging the main body 13 to open or close the lid 14. A piece 24 is provided, which is a so-called clear tech hinge type hinge.

本実施形態では、さらに、本体部13の天面板13aには、周縁における薄肉ヒンジ部15の連結部18と注出口16との間に、斜めに対向するように配置された係合壁19が形成されており、係合壁19と近接係合する被係合壁20が、蓋14の内側に突出して設けられている。係合壁19や被係合壁20は、本体部13に対して蓋14を開いた状態で、合成樹脂成形品としてキャップ12を一体として成形する成形時に、キャップ12の構成部分として組み込んで簡易且つ容易に設けることができる。また、係合壁19は、注出口16を介して収容された液体洗剤を注出する際に、邪魔にならず、かつ外観上違和感のない位置として、注出口16よりも薄肉ヒンジ部15側に寄った注出口16と連結部18との間に、略ハの字状に対向して配置された一対の平板状の部材として配設される。一方、被係合壁20は、薄肉ヒンジ部15から係合壁19と略同じ距離離れた対応する位置に、略ハの字状に配設された一対の平板状の部材として蓋14から内側に突出して設けられ、蓋14が閉塞された際に、略ハの字状に配設された1対の被係合壁20が、略ハの字状に配設された1対の係合壁19の内側に嵌め込まれるようにして配置されることにより、互いに近接して係合される。 In the present embodiment, the top plate 13a of the main body 13 further has an engagement wall 19 disposed so as to be diagonally opposed between the connecting portion 18 and the spout 16 of the thin hinge portion 15 at the periphery. An engaged wall 20 that is formed and engages closely with the engaging wall 19 is provided so as to protrude inside the lid 14. The engaging wall 19 and the engaged wall 20 are simply incorporated as constituent parts of the cap 12 when molding the cap 12 integrally as a synthetic resin molded product with the lid 14 open to the main body 13. And it can provide easily. Further, the engagement wall 19 is located at the side of the thin hinge portion 15 from the spout 16 as a position that does not get in the way when the liquid detergent accommodated through the spout 16 is poured out and does not feel strange in appearance. Between the spout 16 and the connection part 18 which approached, it arrange | positions as a pair of flat member arrange | positioned facing substantially substantially C shape . On the other hand, the engaged wall 20 is located on the inner side from the lid 14 as a pair of flat plate-like members arranged in a substantially C shape at corresponding positions separated from the thin-walled hinge portion 15 by substantially the same distance as the engaging wall 19. When the lid 14 is closed , a pair of engaged walls 20 disposed in a substantially C shape is paired with a pair of engagements disposed in a substantially C shape. By being arranged so as to be fitted inside the wall 19, they are engaged in close proximity to each other.

そして、上述の構成を備える本実施形態のキャップ12によれば、キャップ12の成形時に容易に設けることが可能な係合壁19と被係合壁20により、落下時の衝撃等を効果的に緩和して、本体部13の注出口16を封止している棒状突起物17にピン折れ等の破損が生じるのを回避することができると共に、蓋14に加わる捻り力等によって生じる薄肉ヒンジ部15の破損を改善できる。すなわち、本実施形態によれば、蓋14の閉塞時に、棒状突起物17の注出口16への係合に加えて、被係合壁20が係合壁19に近接するように係合されるので、例えば落下時の衝撃を受けた際に、係合壁19に係合された被係合壁20によって急激な曲げ荷重を効果的に支持することが可能になり、かかる曲げ荷重を分散することによって、棒状突起物17に負荷される衝撃や薄肉ヒンジ部15に負荷される荷重を緩和することが可能になる。   And according to the cap 12 of this embodiment provided with the above-mentioned structure, the impact etc. at the time of a fall are effectively carried out by the engaging wall 19 and the to-be-engaged wall 20 which can be easily provided at the time of shaping | molding of the cap 12. It is possible to avoid the occurrence of breakage such as pin breakage in the rod-like projection 17 that seals the spout 16 of the main body part 13, and the thin-walled hinge part caused by the twisting force applied to the lid 14. 15 breakage can be improved. That is, according to the present embodiment, when the lid 14 is closed, in addition to the engagement of the bar-shaped protrusion 17 with the spout 16, the engaged wall 20 is engaged so as to be close to the engaging wall 19. Therefore, for example, when receiving an impact at the time of dropping, it becomes possible to effectively support a sudden bending load by the engaged wall 20 engaged with the engaging wall 19, and disperse the bending load. As a result, the impact applied to the rod-shaped protrusion 17 and the load applied to the thin hinge portion 15 can be reduced.

さらに、略4角形の外周断面形状を備えるヒンジ蓋付き容器10に取り付けられた本実施形態のキャップ12では、図2に示すように、4方の側面11d,12dのうちの何れか一つの側面を容器10の正面と認識し易く、当該正面と認識した側面11d,12dに沿って指を上方にスライド移動させて、蓋14を開放しようとする場合がある。このような場合、側面11d,12dに沿った指のスライド方向Yは、薄肉ヒンジ部15の本来の開放方向Xとはずれることになり、これによって薄肉ヒンジ部15には斜め上方への捻れ力が負荷されることになる。本実施形態では、上述のように、本体部13の天面板13aには、周縁の薄肉ヒンジ部15の連結部18と注出口16との間に、係合壁19と近接係合する被係合壁20が、蓋14の内側に突出して設けられており、蓋14の閉塞時にこれらが係合するようになっている。したがって、これらを方向規制手段として、特に蓋14の開放時に、スライド方向Yに沿った、誤った開放方向から蓋14が開くのに伴って薄肉ヒンジ部15の本来の開放方向Xに誘導されてゆくまでの間、薄肉ヒンジ部15に負荷される捻れ力を効果的に支持して、薄肉ヒンジ部15が破損するのを回避させることが可能になる。   Furthermore, in the cap 12 of this embodiment attached to the container 10 with a hinge lid having a substantially rectangular outer peripheral cross-sectional shape, as shown in FIG. 2, any one of the four side surfaces 11d and 12d is provided. May be easily recognized as the front surface of the container 10, and the lid 14 may be opened by sliding the finger upward along the side surfaces 11d and 12d recognized as the front surface. In such a case, the sliding direction Y of the finger along the side surfaces 11d and 12d deviates from the original opening direction X of the thin-walled hinge portion 15, whereby the thin-walled hinge portion 15 has a twisting force obliquely upward.
