Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Field of industrial application] This invention consists of a stopper consisting of an inner stopper and an outer stopper made of a transparent body, and a gap is provided between the contact surfaces of the inner stopper and the outer stopper. A piece of paper on which characters, symbols, etc. related to the container and the contents of the container are written is stored in the gap.
The characters and symbols written on this piece of paper can be read from the outside of the transparent outer cap, and are related to the paper storage stopper, which was designed to make storage and use of the container convenient and to maintain the beauty of the container. be.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, most of the functions of stoppers for bottles and the like have been related to the function of attaching the stopper to prevent the contents of the container from spilling out, to prevent the contamination of impurities from the outside, and the function of attaching and removing the stopper. The display function of containers such as bottles and the contents of the containers was not considered.
For this reason, these markings had to be done in other ways, which was not only inconvenient but also seriously detracted from the aesthetic value of beautiful containers such as Western liquor bottles.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] Conventionally, methods of displaying containers and their contents using closures include (a) writing directly on the closure;

(b) Write the information on a display piece of paper, etc., and hang it from the stopper with a string.

(c) Attach the written piece of paper to the stopper.

However, in many cases, the written characters, symbols, etc. become unclear or illegible due to discoloration, staining, or disappearance over time.

Furthermore, in the method of displaying by the shape and color of the stopper, the types that can be displayed are limited to a small number of types, and the types of containers and contents of the containers corresponding to the types of shapes and colors must be recorded separately. I had to.

As described above, there is no suitable method for displaying containers such as bottles and the contents of the containers, which is inconvenient.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks, the paper strip storage stopper of the present invention has a central part in which the protrusion at the center of the inside of the stopper is covered with a flexible material such as cork or rubber. and,
An inner stopper formed by a small-diameter outer circumferential surface that covers the mouth of the container in a plugged state and a peripheral part provided with a large-diameter outer circumferential surface, and an inner circumferential surface that closely corresponds to the large-diameter outer circumferential surface of the inner stopper. A gap is formed by the inner circumferential surface of the outer cap and the small diameter outer circumferential surface of the inner cap.

In addition, the outer cap is made of a transparent material.

[Function] The paper strip storage stopper of the present invention configured as described above satisfies the original function of the stopper, and the letters, symbols, etc. on the paper pieces stored in the gap between the inner stopper and the outer cap are transparent. It can be read through the outer cap. Furthermore, since the gap becomes a closed room, the letters and symbols on the paper strips are protected from external dust and moisture, so they can last for a long time.
Can be read clearly.

[Example] The configuration of the present invention will be described in more detail below based on the example shown in the drawings.

FIG. 3 is a sectional view of an embodiment of the paper piece storage stopper of the present invention attached to the mouth 9 of the container 10. In the figure, a gap 3 is formed between the inner circumferential surface 6 of the outer cap 1 and the small diameter outer circumferential surface 5 of the inner cap 2, and a piece of paper is accommodated within this gap 3. Characters, symbols, etc. written on this piece of paper can be clearly read from the outside through the transparent outer cap 1. In addition, the inner circumferential surface 6 of the outer cap 1
By tightly fixing the large-diameter outer circumferential surface 4 of the inner plug 2, the gap 3 becomes a closed room, and the contained paper pieces are not affected by external influences such as contamination.

On the other hand, the central part of the inner stopper 2, in which the protrusion 7 provided at the center is covered with a flexible material 8 such as cork or rubber, is structured to be inserted into the mouth 9 of the container 10,
The plugging function is achieved by this central part.

[Other Examples] (1) In FIG. 7, by making the inner peripheral surface 6 portion of the outer cap 1 have a convex lens 6' structure, the characters and symbols written on the paper strip can be written on the outer cap 1. It is enlarged and easier to read when viewed from the outside.

(2) It is possible to fill part of the contents of the container into the gap 3. As a result, a sample of the contents can be seen from the outside through the outer cap 1, and the container 1
Even if the bottle 0 is opaque or made of ceramic and the contents cannot be seen, the contents can be seen at a glance as it remains plugged.

(3) If the piece of paper stored in the gap 3 is made of fluorescent material, or if the written characters, symbols, etc. are coated with fluorescent paint, the piece of paper stored in the gap 3 or the written characters, etc. can be seen even in dark places such as at night. Symbols etc. can be identified.

[Effects] As is clear from the above explanation, in the paper piece storage plug of the present invention, the paper pieces stored in the gap or written characters and symbols are affected by external influences such as discoloration, staining, or disappearing. Can be read clearly for long periods of time without any negative effects.

Furthermore, although many Western liquor bottles can be appreciated as works of art due to their shape and color, their value is halved if they are hung from a stopper with a string or written on the container, as is the case with traditional display methods. That point,
In the paper piece storage stopper of the present invention, it is possible to display information regarding the container and the contents of the container without impairing the aesthetic value of the container in any way.
