Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] "Industrial Application Field" The present invention relates to a cap that is attached to the mouth of a container or the like.

``Prior Art'' Conventionally, most of the caps of containers, such as bottles, in which the contents are poured out from the mouth by tilting the container body, have been of the screw type or cork stopper type, as is well known.

``Problems to be Solved by the Invention'' Both of the screw-type and cork-type caps described above are troublesome to handle, as they must be removed by turning or pulling them out each time the cap is poured, and there is a risk of them being lost.

In view of the above points, the present invention provides an easy-to-operate cap that allows the user to open the spout and pour out the stored items by simply rotating the cap by a slight angle without having to remove it each time to pour out the stored items. It is in.

"Means for Solving the Problem" A fixed part 1 attached to the neck of the container body, and a movable part 3 rotatably fitted and attached to the outer surface of the fixed part 1.
The fixing part 1 has a peripheral wall 4 partially concave, a diagonal groove 7 formed on the outer surface of the concave part 6, and a bottom spout 9 opened in a part of the top wall 8. The movable part 3 has a window 12 and an upper spout 13 in a part of the top wall 10,
The top cover 2 is locked to the edge of the top wall 10 with a hinge 11, and the engagement member 1 is inserted through the window 12 from the bottom surface of the top cover 2.
4 hangs down from the lower end of the engaging member to the diagonal groove 7.
A protruding engaging element 15 that engages with the top cover 2 is provided.
When the lid is closed, the engaging element 15 is located at the lower end A of the diagonal groove 7, and when the movable part is rotated to the upper end opening of the diagonal groove 7, opening of the top lid 2 is completed and the upper and lower spout ports 13 and 9 are configured to match. did.

"Function" With the above structure, in the steady state shown in FIG. 1 where the top cover 2 is in an open state, the engaging element 15
At this time, the upper and lower spouts 13,
9 has shifted its position and the inside of the container is in a closed state.
Here, when the movable part 3 is rotated, the engaging element 15 moves upward along the diagonal groove 7, whereby the top cover 2 is opened as shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. When reaches the upper end opening of the oblique groove 7, the upper spout 13 of the movable part 3 matches the lower spout 9 of the fixed part 1,
It becomes possible to pour out the contents stored in the container.

``Embodiment'' An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the attached drawings. As shown in the figure, the cap of the present invention includes a fixing part 1 which is screwed onto the mouth and neck of a container body A, and a top lid 2.
The movable part 3 is rotatably fitted into the fixed part 1 and is locked so as to be openable and closable.

The fixing part 1 has an inverted cup shape, and has a screw groove 5 formed in the lower half of the inner surface of the peripheral wall 4, and a part of the upper part of the outer surface is inwardly concavely shaped into a slightly elongated rectangle in the circumferential direction. A diagonal groove 7, which is a part of a spiral groove, is formed on the outer surface, and a lower spout 9 is formed in a part of the tapered peripheral part of the top wall 8.

The movable part 3 is of the same shape and is one size larger than the fixed part 1, and is provided with a flexible hinge 11 on the peripheral edge of the top wall 10 so that the inverted dish-shaped top cover 2 can be opened and closed. A window 12 is formed in a part of the top wall 10 adjacent to the window 12, and an upper spout 13 that matches the lower spout 9 is opened in the tapered part on the opposite side.
It is rotatably fitted into the fixed part 1. A fixing part 1 is inserted through a window 12 through a part of the back surface of the top cover 2.
An engaging member 14 is provided vertically to reach the concave portion 6 of the
An engaging element 15 that engages with the diagonal groove 7 is protruded from the lower end of the engaging member 14 . Moreover, the inward protrusion 16 at the lower end prevents it from easily coming off from the fixed part 1.

"Effects of the invention" According to the invention, the spout 9, 13 can be opened and closed by simply rotating the movable part 3 by a small angle, and therefore there is no need to remove the cap each time to pour out the stored contents. It is simple and convenient. Furthermore, since the cap is not removed, there is no risk of it being lost or dropped, which is advantageous in terms of handling.

In addition, the lower spout 9 and the upper spout 13 are connected to the movable part 3.
and the top walls 10 and 8 of the fixing part 1, and furthermore, the upper spout 13 was closed by the top cover 2. In other words, the upper and lower spouts 13 and 9 are doubly closed. Because of this, the airtightness is good, which is extremely convenient.

Furthermore, since the diagonal groove 7 is formed on the outer surface of the fixing part 1, even if the diagonal groove is formed deeply, it will not be difficult to remove the fixing part from the mold when manufacturing the fixing part 1. Therefore, by forming the diagonal groove 7 to a sufficient depth and also forming the engager 15 to be fitted into the diagonal groove to have a sufficient length, even if the engager 15 is slightly worn, the diagonal groove can be removed. 7, which is extremely convenient.

Furthermore, since the engager 15 formed on the top cover 2 is slidably fitted into the diagonal groove 7 formed on the outer surface of the fixing part 1, the top cover opening/closing means is provided between the fixing part 1 and the top cover 2. This eliminates the disadvantage and inconvenience of being able to attach the cap only to the container body that has the diagonal groove, such as when a part of the top lid opening/closing means, for example, a diagonal groove, is formed on the container body. It can be widely used for containers and is extremely convenient.
