Description

[Detailed description of the device] [Industrial applications]

The present invention relates to a beverage container for storing milk, syrup, etc. added to coffee, tea, etc.

[Prior art]

Conventionally, as this type of beverage container, a structure having a cap, an inner stopper, and the like, and a structure having a seal lid in which aluminum foil or the like is laminated is well known, but such a container has many parts. This is inconvenient because the manufacturing is complicated and there is a drawback that the manufacturing cost is increased, and it takes a lot of time to pour out a stored object such as milk. Therefore, as a container that solves the above problems, the number of parts has been reduced to two in recent years,
A container that can be opened with one touch is Shokai 60-11582.
No. 9 and No. 62-90580.

[Problems to be solved by the device]

The above-mentioned beverage container of Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 60-115829 is convenient because it can be opened with one touch, but it has the drawback that once opened, it cannot be resealed. In addition, the beverage container disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 62-90580 has a drawback that the opening / closing member may be broken due to a weak hinge of the opening / closing member. Therefore, it has been desired to devise a beverage container that has a small number of parts, is easy to assemble and manufacture, is resealable, and does not break the opening / closing member.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art. In a plastic container body that is integrally molded and has a filling opening that can be sealed by a sealing member, a flexible rotating portion is used. An opening / closing member connected to the upper portion of the container body is erected on an outer surface of a thin rupturable portion provided on the top side peripheral wall portion, and a locking means for engaging and disengaging the opening / closing member is the rotating member. The present invention provides a beverage container characterized by being provided within a rotation range of the beverage container.

[Action]

Since the beverage container according to the present invention has the above-mentioned configuration, when the opening / closing member that is erected on the outer surface of the thin wall portion that is rupturable on the peripheral wall portion on the top side is ruptured by inclining or the like, the peripheral wall is broken. A spout is formed in the section. The opening / closing member broken from the peripheral wall portion is connected to the upper portion of the container body through the flexible rotating means, so that it is not lost and is provided within the rotating range of the rotating means. If locked by the locking means, the stored object such as milk stored in the container can be poured out without any hindrance to the pouring operation. After pouring out a desired amount of the stored object and then removing the opening / closing member from the locking means and inserting it into the pouring port, the pouring port is easily resealed.

【Example】

Next, the present invention will be described in detail based on an embodiment shown in the drawings. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a beverage container body made of plastic (for example, unsaturated polyester resin) integrally formed by injection molding or the like, in which an opening for filling an object to be stored is sealed by a sealing member 2. . The container body 1 having an opening at the bottom for filling an object to be stored has a body 10 formed in an inverse taper shape which becomes gradually smaller as it goes upward, and a top 11 formed flat. The inclined peripheral wall portion 12 is provided on the upper side of the body portion 10, that is, on the top portion 11 side. A rupturable thin wall portion 12a is provided in a ring shape at a substantially central portion of the peripheral wall portion 12, and a rod-shaped opening / closing member 13 is erected at a substantially right angle on the peripheral wall portion 12 on an inner outer surface of the thin wall portion 12a. . When the rod-shaped opening / closing member 13 is broken from the thin portion 12a by breaking the opening / closing member 13 or the like, the opening formed in the peripheral wall portion 12 serves as a spout of the stored object. Reference numeral 14 is generally horizontal in both directions from the upper side of the opening / closing member 13 along the peripheral wall portion 12.
It is a rotating member of the opening / closing member 13 that is extended by 1/4 and has a tip end fixed to the upper side of the peripheral wall 12. The rotating member 1
Since 4 is formed thin, it is flexible. The opening / closing member 13 provided upright on the rupturable thin portion 12a is
A reinforcing member 13 a erected from the peripheral wall portion 12 is integrated with the upper portion of the opening / closing member 13 so as not to be accidentally broken. It is also possible to provide notches at upper and lower portions of the base portion of the reinforcing member 13a on the side of the peripheral wall portion 12 so as to facilitate breakage. A locking means (for example, a projection protruding in the horizontal direction) 15 that can lock the opening / closing member 13 in a disengageable manner is provided on the top 11 on the side opposite to the opening / closing member 13. The side of the top 11 facing the opening / closing member 13 has a shape in which a part of the circumference is cut out, and the opening / closing member 13 is easily rotated to the locking means 15 side. Therefore,
Approximately 1/4 circumference is extended in both directions along the peripheral wall portion 12,
Since the opening / closing member 13 whose tip is connected to the upper portion of the container body 1 by the rotating member 14 is rotatable around the connecting portion up to the locking means, it can be removably engaged with the locking means. You can stop. The filling opening of the container body 1 is filled with a desired amount of an object to be stored such as milk, and then a sealing member 2 is formed by laminating a plastic film, an aluminum foil or the like on a flange 16 provided at the periphery of the opening. It is sealed using a means such as heat sealing. In addition, the thin wall portion 12a that is provided on the peripheral wall portion 12 in a breakable manner is
It may be provided in a ring shape as shown in the embodiment, or it may be provided in a thin shape as a whole so as to substantially match the cross-sectional shape of the opening / closing member 13. In any case, the thin wall portion 12a may have substantially the same cross section as the opening / closing member 13 or may be slightly larger.

[Effect of device]

As described above, the beverage container according to the present invention is composed of two points, that is, the plastic container body that is integrally molded and the sealing member that seals the filling opening, so that it is extremely easy to assemble. Therefore, the manufacturing cost can be reduced. Further, since the opening operation of the spout is only required to break the opening / closing member provided in the thin wall portion of the peripheral wall portion by breaking it,
It's very easy. Moreover, since the opening / closing member after opening the spout is connected to the container body through the rotating means, it will not be lost, and the stored object can be poured out if locked by the engagement / disengagement locking means. It doesn't get in the way at all. After the object to be stored has been poured out, the opening / closing member can be removed from the locking means and inserted into the opened spout to easily reseal. In particular, if the opening / closing member is arranged on the inclined peripheral side portion provided between the body portion and the top portion as shown in the embodiment, it is convenient because it does not interfere at all when a large number of containers are loaded. is there.
