Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Industrial application field) The present invention is a stopper for dropping a sphere at the opening of a Ramune container, and more specifically, a stopper that is attached to the cylinder lid externally fitted to the neck of the Ramune container. The present invention relates to a drop plug for dropping a sphere at the opening of a container for Ramune and for opening the container by pressing and dropping a closing ball formed by crimping the opening of the container.

(Prior Art) In general, this type of ramune container opening stopper for dropping the sphere is as shown in FIG.
A cylinder is screwed onto the neck of the container 11 and fitted onto the outside so that the sphere 10 formed by the ring body 17 attached to the opening 12 of the container can be pressed and dropped. It is mounted on the lid 16, and its structure conventionally includes, for example, as shown in FIG. A cut groove 14 is formed to impart flexibility to the top plate 1b, and a substantially cylindrical pressing piece 2b protrudes downward for pressing and dropping the sphere 10 located substantially in the center of the back surface of the top plate 1b. Alternatively, it has almost the same structure as this drain plug, but the peripheral edge 4 of the top plate 1c is
c and the upper circumferential edge 7c of the extractor body 3c are connected via several ribs 15, and the top plate 1c can be separated from the extractor body 3c when the container 11 is opened. ing.

(Problem to be solved) However, in the former type of puller, the top plate 1b and the puller body 3b are integrally formed, so it presses not only the center of the top plate 1b but also a position offset from the center. However, there was a fatal drawback in that the sphere 11 could be dropped, and the container could be accidentally opened by some kind of impact during transportation, for example. Moreover, since the top surface of the above-mentioned stopper is closed by the top plate 1b, there is a problem in that the bubbles cannot be released when the container is opened, and the bubbles remain inside the container. .

Moreover, unlike the former extractor, the upper surface of the latter extractor is not closed by the top plate 1c, and there is a gap between the top plate 1c and the extractor body 3c as shown in FIG. The container will not be accidentally opened unless pressure is applied near the center of the top plate 1c, but on the other hand, if the dot plate 1c is not pressed until the ribs 15 are separated, the pressure piece 2c on the back side will cause the container to become spherical. 11 cannot be pressed down, so the top plate 1c
A large amount of force is required to press and separate the ribs 15, making it difficult for children etc. to open the container, and the ribs 15 after being separated may protrude and cause injury. It was hot. Furthermore, in this case, the thinner the rib 15 is, the easier the above-mentioned separation can be, but conversely, the top plate 1c is more likely to be separated from the stopper body 3c, so there is a risk that the container 11 will be opened inadvertently. A new problem had arisen.

Moreover, such a stopper can be removed from the top plate 1c after use.
Since the body 3c and the puller body 3c are completely separated, there are problems in that the amount of waste increases, making disposal troublesome, and that it cannot be reused.

Furthermore, since there is a gap between the top plate 1c and the extractor body 3c, bubbles can be released, but only from above, so it is sufficient to release the bubbles all at once when the container 11 is opened. I couldn't do it.

(Means for solving the problems) This invention was made to solve all the problems mentioned above, and the means for solving them is to remove the top plate and separate it from the stopper body. At the same time, remove the top plate and remove at least two parts of the stopper body.
connected to the puller body by a flexible rising piece formed through grooves on both sides at the location,
Moreover, when the top plate is pressed, the upright piece is bent so that the top plate can be lowered.

(Function) That is, when the extractor with this structure is mounted on the lid of the container as described above and the top plate is pressed in this state, the above-mentioned rising piece bends and the top plate is bent while the extractor body remains as it is. Only the plate descends, and the pressure piece on the back side of the top plate presses down the sphere to open the container, and the bubbles inside the container that are generated at the same time as the top plate is opened are removed from the top, which is a separate object. It is released not only from the gap between the plate and the stopper body, but also from the grooves formed in the stopper body, and is released all at once when the container is opened.

(Example) Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described according to an example shown in the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of a ramune drainer stopper, in which A is a plan view, B is a side view, C is a sectional view taken along the line A-A of A, and D is a sectional view taken along the line B-B of A. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a substantially circular top plate, and a substantially cylindrical pressing piece 2 for pressing and dropping a sphere 11 is provided protruding downward from approximately the center of the back side. 3 is the top plate 1
A roughly cylindrical pull-out body separate from the top plate 1 is formed rising outside and below the peripheral edge 4 of the pull-out body 3, and grooves 5, 5 are formed at two opposing locations on the pull-out body 3.
Two strips are formed each, and the members between the grooves 5 and 5 are formed as flexible rising pieces 6, 6. The top plate 1 has a rising piece 6,
6, and the top plate 1 is connected to the extractor body 3 via the rising pieces 6, 6, and excluding the connecting portion connected by the rising pieces 6, 6. A gap 8 is formed between the peripheral edge 4 of the top plate 1 and the upper peripheral edge 7 of the extractor body 3.

Incidentally, the top plate 1 is provided at a position slightly lower than the upper end of the puller body 3. Further, the top plate 1, the puller body 3, and the rising piece 6 are all made of soft synthetic resin.

The ramune extractor stopper 9 having such a configuration is attached to the cylindrical lid 1 which is screwed onto the neck of the container 11 and fitted externally, as shown in FIG. 2, before opening the container.
6 and is packaged together with a cylinder lid 16 by a packaging material 13. In addition, container 11
As shown in the figure, a step 18 is formed in the opening 12 of the ring, and a ring body 17 is placed on the step 18, and a glass sphere 10 is crimped onto the lower side of the ring body 17. The opening 12 is closed.

Next, when opening the container 11, first the packaging material 1 is opened.
3 and then press the approximate center of the top plate 1, the rising pieces 6, 6 will bend and the top plate 1 will descend as shown in FIG. 3, thereby pressing the back side of the top plate 1. The opening 12 is opened by pressing down the sphere 10 whose piece 2 is crimped onto the lower side of the ring body 17.

In this case, since the top plate 1 and the extractor body 3 are formed separately, unless the approximate center of the top plate 1 is pressed, the rising piece 6 will not bend and the top plate 1 will not fall. This makes it possible to prevent the container 11 from being opened inadvertently. In particular, since the top surface of the top plate 1 is located slightly below the upper circumferential edge of the puller body 3, accidental opening of the cap can be more reliably prevented.

In addition, the top plate 1 and the puller body 3 are not completely separated as in the conventional case, but are connected by the rising pieces 6, 6 even after the container is opened, so that waste can be easily removed. It will not increase.

Furthermore, when the container 11 is opened, the bubbles in the container 11 are released not only from the gap 8 between the top plate 1 and the extractor body 3 but also from the cut groove 5 formed in the extractor body 3. This can sufficiently deal with the temporary release of bubbles immediately after.

In the above embodiment, the rising pieces 6 are formed at two opposing locations on the puller body 3; however, the number and position of the rising pieces 6 are by no means limited to this; for example, as shown in FIG. They may be formed in three locations as shown in FIG. The point is that it is sufficient if it is formed in at least two locations.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, the upper surface of the top plate 1 is provided slightly below the upper circumferential edge of the stopper body 3 to prevent the top plate 1 from falling unintentionally.
However, the height of the top plate 1 is by no means limited to this. may be provided.

Further, although the top plate 1 is usually formed into a substantially circular shape as in this embodiment to match the opening of a general ramune container, the shape of the top plate 1 is by no means limited to this. By changing the shape of the container 11, it is possible to form it into any shape, and the shape is not limited at all. Similarly, the shape of the puller body 3 is by no means limited to the substantially cylindrical shape of the embodiment.

Note that the longer the length of the pressing piece 2, the less pressing force is required on the top plate 1 to open the container 11, and the shorter the length, the greater the pressing force required, so the length should be adjusted. This allows the necessary pressing force to be adjusted freely.

Furthermore, the material of the above-mentioned extractor plug 9 is by no means limited to the soft synthetic resin of the embodiment, and any material may be used. The point is that the rising piece 6 only needs to be configured to have flexibility.

Further, in the above embodiment, the cylinder lid 16 is externally fitted onto the neck of the container 11 by screwing, but it does not necessarily have to be screwed, and the point is that it is externally fitted so as not to be accidentally detached from the neck. All you have to do is stay there.

Further, in this embodiment, the packaging material 13 wraps the extractor cap 9 with a part of the upper surface thereof opened, but the packaging material 13 is not wrapped so as to cover the entire extractor cap 9. It's okay.

All other design changes may be made within the scope of the present invention.

(Effects) As mentioned above, in the present invention, the separate top plate and the pull-out stopper body are connected by flexible upright pieces formed at at least two places on the pull-out stopper body, and the top plate The raised piece that presses the sphere is bent and the top plate is lowered, whereby the pressing piece on the back of the top plate presses the sphere down, resulting in the following remarkable effects.

(b) First of all, because of the above-mentioned configuration, the upright piece will not bend and the top plate will not fall unless the approximately central position of the top plate is pressed, and therefore the container will not be accidentally opened during transportation, etc. There's never anything like it being plugged.

(b) Second, since the top plate and the puller body are connected by the flexible upright piece as described above, the top plate and the puller body are completely connected even after the container is opened. There is no separation, and therefore the number of waste items does not increase and disposal becomes troublesome as in the past.

Moreover, since it is not divided, it is not thrown away and has the advantage of being able to be used any number of times.

(C) Thirdly, the container can be opened by the bending action of the rising piece as described above without completely separating the top plate and the puller body, so there is no need to use a large pressing force as in the conventional case. Even children can easily open the bottle without the need for
Furthermore, since the top plate and the puller body are not separated, handling can be extremely safe.

(d) Fourthly, the top plate and the puller body are separated from each other to form a gap, and grooves are formed on both sides of each rising piece of the puller body, making it easy to open the container. Immediately afterwards, the bubbles inside the container are extremely efficiently discharged upwardly and laterally from these gaps and grooves, respectively. In particular, since it is now possible to release the bubbles in the lateral direction, it is possible to fully cope with the temporary release of bubbles when the cap is opened, and it is possible to obtain a foam release effect that is even better than that of the conventional completely separated stopper.
