[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to an improvement of a packaging bottle stopper that is used by being attached to a packaging bottle for carbonated drinks, juices and the like.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 For packaging bottles for carbonated drinks, juices, etc., once the cap that is attached to the mouth of the bottle is once removed, it is possible to prevent the left-over drinking part from becoming stagnant and the left-over drinking part from being oxidized. It was not possible to do so, and as a result, the taste was lost and the portion that was left undrinked was thrown away, resulting in a large amount of waste.

In order to solve such a problem, various caps have been devised which are attached to the packaging bottle after the cap stopper is removed. However, the conventional plugs of this type are simply the mouth of the packaging bottle. It was a type that was press-fitted in and was pulled out at the time of use.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 As described above, the conventional stopper of this kind is of a type that is simply press-fitted into and removed from the mouth of the packaging bottle, and therefore requires a considerable amount of force to open and close the stopper, which is extremely difficult for women and children. There was a problem that it was troublesome. Also, once it is removed, it is troublesome to attach it again, so the time to remove it will be considerably long, resulting in further distraction and oxidation, or immediately when accidentally fallen. There was a problem that the contents leaked out and stained the surroundings. Also, because it was only a stopper, it was inferior in aesthetics.

Further, since the packaging bottle generally has a relatively large internal volume of about 1.5 liters and is heavy, it is very troublesome for women and children when pouring and carrying it. Furthermore, the cap stopper attached to the packaging bottle in advance is firmly attached to maintain the airtightness, so that there is a problem that it takes a lot of force to open the cap and is very troublesome for women and children. there were.

In view of the above-mentioned problems, the present invention is very easy to open and close the stopper, can prevent the escape of air and oxidize, does not leak the contents even when it is tumbled, and has an excellent aesthetic appearance. An object of the present invention is to provide a stopper for a packaging bottle that makes it easy to handle when pouring and transporting even if the packaging bottle is large, and also makes it easy to open the cap stopper attached to the packaging bottle in advance. And
