Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] "Industrial Application Field" The present invention relates to a cap with an elastically reversible lid plate that fits into a container for storing, for example, liquid detergent.

"Prior Art" The above-mentioned cap has a circumferential wall hanging from the circumferential edge of the top wall to fit into the mouth and neck of the container body, and a cap is provided to the rear of the circumferential edge of the top wall 2 so that the top surface of the top wall can be opened and covered. The rear part of the periphery of the plate 9 is connected so as to be elastically reversible, so that the elastic reversal of the lid plate causes a stopper protruding from the rear surface of the lid plate to be attached to and removed from the spout hole provided in the center portion of the top wall, thereby opening the spout hole. A finger rest plate for opening the lid plate protruded forward from the front edge of the lid plate.

``Problems to be Solved by the Invention'' The above-mentioned conventional caps had a drawback in that when the container fitted with the cap was transported, the finger rest plate came into contact with another object and the lid plate opened.

This proposal eliminates such drawbacks.

"Means for solving the problem" An elastic reversing mechanism 8 is installed at the upper end of the rear surface of the cap body 1, which has a peripheral wall 3 for fitting the mouth and neck of the container suspended from the periphery of the top wall 2 with the spout hole 4. In this cap, a lid plate 9 is attached for opening and closing the upper surface of the cap main body through the cap, and a finger rest plate 11 for operating the lid plate is attached to the front part of the lid plate. A ring 12 is rotatably fitted onto the outer surface of the cylindrical portion 5, and an elastic engagement plate 14 is provided at the front of the ring and engages with the lower and side surfaces of the finger rest plate.
is attached so that its engagement can be removed.

"Operation" In the state shown in FIG. 1B, the lower surface engaging portion 14a of the elastic engaging plate 14 of the ring 12 fitted to the cap body 1 engages with the lower surface of the finger plate 11 for operating the lid plate 9. However, since the side surface engaging portion 14b engages with the side surface thereof, it is impossible to push up the finger plate 11 and open the lid plate. 1st from the state
Push down the side surface engaging portion 14b on the left side of Figure B to disengage it from the finger rest plate, and turn the ring 12 to the right in the figure as shown in Figure 2.
Therefore, from the state shown in FIG. 2, by pushing up the finger plate 11 rearward and upward, the cover plate can be opened as shown in FIG. 3. Only when it is desired to prevent the lid plate from opening during transportation, etc., the elastic engagement plate 14 is engaged with the finger plate as shown in FIG. 1B, and normally it is disengaged as shown in FIG. 2. Keep it.

``Embodiment'' The cap of the present invention includes a cap body 1, a lid plate 9 connected to the rear part of the top wall 2 of the cap body via an elastic reversing mechanism 8 such that the top surface of the cap body can be opened and covered, and It consists of a ring 12 rotatably fitted to the top of the container body.

The cap body 1 has a peripheral wall 3 extending from the periphery of the top wall 2 to fit into the mouth and neck of the container body, and has a spout hole 4 bored in the center of the top wall. The illustrated pouring hole has a cylindrical peripheral edge slightly raised upward. A portion of the top wall 2 excluding the outer periphery is bulged upward in a cylindrical shape, and a groove 6 is provided around the cylindrical portion 5. Further, a recess 7 is provided on the front outer surface of the upper end of the peripheral wall to facilitate finger placement as will be described later.

A lid plate 9 is provided at the rear of the top wall to open and cover the top surface of the top wall via an elastic reversal mechanism section 8.
Connect the rear of the. The lid plate has a plug 10 hanging from the back surface of the lid plate 9, which is attached to and removed from the spout hole 4 to open and close. The elastic reversal mechanism section 8 includes first hinges 8a, 8a that connect the top wall and the lid plate on the left and right sides with an appropriate interval between them.
and an elastic band-shaped part is provided in the vertical direction between both hinges, and second and second elastic band-shaped parts are provided at the joint between the lower end of the belt and the upper part of the peripheral wall, and the joint between the upper end of the belt and the cover plate part, respectively. A known type formed of three hinges 8b and 8c may be used. From the front of the lid plate is the finger plate 11.
protrudes forward.

A ring 12 is rotatably fitted onto the outer surface of the cylindrical portion 5 of the cap body. A protrusion 18 that fits into the groove 6 described above is vertically provided on the inner surface of the ring. An elastic engagement piece 14 that engages with the lower and side surfaces of the finger rest plate 11 is attached to the front part of the ring so that the engagement can be freely removed.

The elastic engagement piece 14 can be formed as in the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, or as in the second embodiment shown in FIGS. 4 and 5.

In the first embodiment, a lower surface engaging portion 14a having approximately the same size as the finger plate 11 protrudes from the front surface of the ring, and arm-shaped side surface engaging portions 14b protrude from both left and right sides of the lower surface engaging portion 14a. is in contact with the side surface of the finger rest plate 11. The lower surface engaging portion 14a and the side surface engaging portion 14b can be formed continuously. In the second embodiment shown in FIG. 4 and FIG.
4b is formed separately from the ring 12. The front end of the finger hook plate 11 is positioned flush with or rearward of the front end of the lower surface engaging portion 14a.

"Effects of the Invention" As mentioned above, the present invention has an elastic engagement plate 14 that engages with the underside and side of the finger plate 11 at the front of the ring 12 that is rotatably fitted to the upper part of the cap body.
Since the engagement is removable, the elastic engagement plate 14 is engaged with the finger rest plate when not in use, such as during transportation, and the engagement is released when in use, so that the finger rest plate 11 will not be inadvertently pushed up and the cover plate will not be opened.
Since a part of the elastic fitting plate is also provided to engage with one side surface, even if the fitting of the ring 12 to the cap body is loose, the elastic fitting plate will not come off the finger plate due to the rotation of the ring, as would happen if the elastic fitting plate were only in contact with the underside of the finger plate 11.
The above effects can be ensured.
