Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] "Industrial Application Field" The present invention relates to a liquid dispensing cap that is attached to a squeeze-shaped container containing shampoo, rinse, etc.

"Problems to be Solved by Prior Art and Ideas" Conventionally, in this type of cap, a peripheral wall for fitting the opening of the container body is vertically disposed on the upper surface of the top wall of the cap body.
In some cases, a long cylindrical nozzle is buried, the base end of the nozzle is pivoted, and the tip of the nozzle is rotated upright around the pivot point to form a pouring path for the liquid inside the container. .

In the case of the above-mentioned cap, since the nozzle is buried in the top wall of the cap main body, when forming the spout channel, it is necessary to directly push up the nozzle tip facing the side of the top wall with a finger or the like to make it stand up. However, there was a problem in that the operating point was limited to an extremely narrow area such as the tip of the nozzle, making it difficult to operate and difficult to use.

The present invention was proposed in consideration of the conventional situation, and the purpose is to propose a liquid dispensing cap that is highly operable and easy to use.

"Means for Solving the Problems" In order to achieve the above object, the cap of the present invention has a recess 4 with an open top and rear surface formed in the rear of the top wall 3 on which the peripheral wall 2 for fitting the container mouth part is vertically installed. A first cap body 1 having a circular side cross section and a cylindrical portion 6 placed on the upper surface of the top wall and a first cap body 1 having a circular side cross section and hanging from the rear end of the cylindrical portion.
A nozzle 5 in which a bearing part 7 is pivotally mounted in the recess 4 so that the undulation of the cylindrical part can be freely adjusted, and a ring-shaped plate 9 is fitted to the upper outer surface of the peripheral wall and suspended from the rear lower surface of the ring-shaped plate. An operation member 8 in which the second bearing part 10 is pivotally mounted in the recess 4 coaxially with the first bearing part.
The lower surface of the recess 4 is formed into an arc shape so as to be in watertight sliding contact with the lower surface of the first bearing part 7, and a liquid spout hole 11 is bored at an appropriate position on the lower surface,
and an engaging protrusion 12 located on the first bearing part side between the opposing surfaces of the first bearing part and the second bearing part, and a second bearing part.
On the bearing side, there are a nozzle hole 13 that engages with the engaging protrusion with an initial play and opens on the lower surface of the first bearing only when the nozzle cylinder section is raised to its maximum, and the liquid spout hole 1.
An engaging recess 14 is formed in which the first bearing part can be rotated so as to communicate with the first bearing part 1.

"Operation" From the state shown in FIG. 1, if you push up any part of the ring-shaped plate 9 in front of the pivoting part with your finger to rotate and raise the operating member 8, the space between the first and second bearing parts 7 and 10 can be adjusted. Due to the engagement between the engagement protrusion 12 and the engagement recess 14, the nozzle 5 is rotated and erected with a slight delay, and when both are in their maximum erected state, as shown in FIG. The front part of the plate 9 is spaced apart by a predetermined angle, and the nozzle hole 13 communicates with the liquid spouting hole 11, so that the liquid inside the container can be poured out to the outside.

After pouring out the liquid, the ring-shaped plate 9 is
When the operating member 8 is rotated and laid down by pressing down any part of the nozzle 5, the nozzle 5 is also rotated and laid down, and the communication between the nozzle hole 13 and the liquid spouting hole 11 is cut off.

"Embodiments" Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

1 to 4 show an embodiment of the present invention, and the cap of the present invention includes a cap body 1 and a nozzle 5.
and an operating member 8.

The cap body 1 has a recess 4 with an open top and rear surface formed in the rear part of the top wall 3 from which a fitting peripheral wall 2 which is screwed onto the outer surface of the container mouth neck 15 is vertically provided.
Further, an upward step 16 is disposed around the upper part of the circumferential wall 2, a first engagement protrusion 17 is attached to the front part of the circumferential wall above the upward step, and a first engaging protrusion 17 is attached to the front part of the circumferential wall immediately below the upward step. A notch recess 18 for operation is attached to the holder.

Further, a long groove 19 is formed on the upper surface of the top wall 3, and the rear surface thereof is open and communicates with the recess 4. and,
An engaging protrusion 25 is attached to the front surface of the long groove 19. Further, arcuate guide grooves 20 are formed on both the left and right sides of the lower surface of the recess 4, and bearing holes 21 are formed on both the left and right end surfaces of the recess.

The nozzle 5 has a nozzle cylindrical portion 6 that is fitted and accommodated in the long groove 19, and has a circular side cross-section that is pivoted from the rear end of the cylindrical portion into the recess 4 so that the undulations of the cylindrical portion can be freely adjusted. 1 bearing part 7 is installed vertically. and,
Pins 22 are provided protruding from both the left and right end surfaces of the bearing portion 7. Further, the engaging protrusion 25 is configured to be elastically fit into the opening of the nozzle hole 13 of the cylindrical portion.

The operating member 8 has a ring-shaped plate 9 placed on the upward step 16 of the cap body, and has a second bearing 10 hanging from the rear lower surface of the plate. This bearing part 10 is formed of a pair of disc-shaped parts in the left and right direction, and a circular outward protrusion part 24 is attached to the center part of these bearing parts. Further, a second engagement protrusion 23 that elastically engages with the first engagement protrusion is attached to the front portion of the inner peripheral surface of the ring-shaped plate.

Then, the outer convex portions of the protruding portions 24 are fitted into the bearing holes 21, and the pins 22 are fitted into the inner recesses, so that the nozzle bearing portion 7
is pivotally attached to the cap main body recess 4 via the operating member bearing 10. Further, a lower outer peripheral portion of the bearing portion 10 is rotatably fitted into the guide groove 20.

Then, the lower surface of the recess 4 is formed in an arc shape so as to be in watertight sliding contact with the lower surface of the first bearing section 7, and a liquid pouring hole 11 is bored at an appropriate position on the lower surface, and the first bearing section and the second An engaging protrusion 12 is located on the first bearing part side between the opposing surfaces of the bearing part, and a second
On the bearing side, the liquid spouting hole 11 communicates with a nozzle hole 13 that engages with the engaging protrusion with initial play and opens on the lower surface of the first bearing only when the nozzle cylinder section is raised to its maximum. An engagement recess 14 is formed in which the first bearing part can be rotated so as to rotate.

Note that the engagement recess 14 of the bearing portion 10 is formed as a notch recess in the outer peripheral portion of the bearing portion.
Further, in the above embodiments, each part is made of synthetic resin material as appropriate.

"Effects of the Invention" As explained above, according to the present invention, the nozzle is configured to perform the up-and-down motion in conjunction with the up-and-down motion of the ring-shaped operating member. It can also be operated, and a wide range of operating points can be used, resulting in high operability and ease of use. It also has the advantage of being interesting and increasing the marketability of the container.
