 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.

In the figure, reference numeral 10 indicates a pouring cap according to the present invention, and reference numeral 30 indicates a container in which the pouring cap 10 is attached to its mouth portion 31 for use. Further, reference numeral 11 denotes a cap body, and reference numeral 12 denotes a ring-shaped stopper, respectively, and the reference numeral 11 and the reference numeral 12 constitute the pouring cap 10 of the present invention.

The cap body 11 is composed of a cylindrical side wall portion 14 that is screw-fitted to the outer periphery of the mouth portion 31 of the container 30, and a head portion 15 that is integrally provided on the upper end of the side wall portion 14. There is. A collar portion 16 having an outer diameter dimension larger than that of the side wall portion 14 is provided around the side peripheral portion of the head portion 15. Further, on the back surface of the head portion 15, an inner cylinder 17 which is fitted in a liquid-tight manner on the inner circumference of the mouth portion 31 of the container 30 is vertically provided. A content pouring path 18 is provided from the inside of the inner cylinder 17 toward the side surface of the collar section 16. At the tip of the content pouring path 18, a content outlet 19 that opens to the side surface of the collar section 16 is provided. It is provided. It should be noted that an air flow passage may be provided that extends from the inside of the inner cylinder 17 to the side surface of the collar portion 16 and opens.

A pair of shaft portions 21 and 21 are provided so as to face each other at a position rotated by 90 degrees in one direction and the other direction along the side surface of the collar portion 16 from the position of the content outlet 19. . The shaft portions 21 and 21 are locations for axially rotatably supporting the ring-shaped plug body 12.

The plug body 12 is an elastically deformable resin member formed in a ring shape in accordance with the outer shape of the flange portion 16, and is vertically rotatable with respect to the flange portion 16 via the shaft portions 21 and 21. It is attached to. Recessed portions 22, 22 for engaging the shaft portions 21, 21 are bored at two opposite positions on the inner peripheral surface of the plug body 12. The recesses 22 and 22 are locking recesses 22a in which the shafts 21 and 21 are housed, and open in a V shape toward the lower end of the inner peripheral surface of the plug 12 to lock the shafts 21 and 21. It is formed by a guide recess 22b which guides to the guide 22a, and the passage between the locking recess 22a and the guide recess 22b is narrow so that the shaft portion 21 guided in the locking recess 22a does not come out.

In the spout cap 10 configured as described above, the plug 12 is engaged with the recesses 22 of the plug 12 corresponding to the shafts 21, 21 of the flange 16 from above, so that the plug 12 has the flange. It is attached to 16. When the contents outlet 19 is closed, the stopper 12 is rotated around the shaft portion 21 so that the contents outlet 19 side of the inner peripheral surface of the stopper 12 is the side peripheral surface of the collar 16. It should be in close contact with. When the plug body 12 is pushed down against the flange portion 16, the plug body 12 elastically deforms to pass over the upper end portion of the flange portion 16, and the content outlet 19 side of the inner peripheral surface of the plug body 12 is the side of the flange portion 16. The content outlet 19 is tightly adhered to the peripheral surface on the content outlet 19 side, and the content outlet 19 is sealed. The spout cap 10 is used by screwing the cap body 11 into the mouth portion 31 of the container 30.

When the content outlet 19 is opened in order to pour out the content, the shaft portion 21 may be used as a fulcrum to push down the portion of the plug body 12 located away from the shaft portion 21. When the contents outlet 19 side of the stopper 12 is pushed down, the contents outlet 19 side of the stopper 12 is elastically deformed and overtakes the lower end portion of the flange 16 immediately below the contents outlet 19 to separate from the flange 16. Then, it comes into contact with the outer surface of the side wall portion 14 and stops. After opening the content outlet 19 in this way, if the container 30 is squeezed or the container 30 is tilted, the content inside the container is discharged from the content outlet 19 through the content discharge passage 18.

When closing the content outlet 19 from this state, the raised portion of the plug 12 may be pushed down with the shaft portion 21 as a fulcrum. If this part of the plug body 12 is pushed down, the plug body 12 elastically deforms and rides over the upper end portion of the flange portion 16, and the content outlet 19 side of the inner peripheral surface of the plug body 12 becomes the side peripheral surface of the flange portion 16. The contents outlet 19 is closely attached, and the contents outlet 19 is sealed again.

According to the pouring cap 10 of this embodiment, the content outlet 19 is opened and closed by simply pushing down the lifting side of the plug 12 with the shaft portion 21 as a fulcrum. Since the stroke amount of the pushing operation is shorter than that of the conventional one, the content outlet 19 can be easily opened and closed with the container 30 held, and the content outlet 19 can be opened and closed with one hand. . Further, if the position apart from the shaft portion 21 is pushed down, the contents outlet 19 can be opened by pushing any part of the stopper 12. Therefore, there is an effect that the opening / closing operability of the contents outlet 19 is very excellent. Further, when the content outlet 19 is closed, the ring-shaped plug 12 makes one round around the collar portion 16, the shaft portion 21 and the content outlet 19 are not exposed to the outside, and the external appearance becomes good, and The presence of the ring-shaped plug body 12 can also exert a design effect.

FIG. 4 shows a second embodiment of the pouring cap according to the present invention. The pouring cap of this embodiment has a plug body at the upper end of the side surface of the collar portion 16 facing the contents outlet 19. A stopper piece 40 is provided to allow 12 to be rotated only in one direction.

FIG. 5 shows a third embodiment of the pouring cap according to the present invention. The pouring cap of the present embodiment has a flange 16 from the inside of the cap body 11 on the side opposite to the contents pouring path 18. Is provided with an air flow passage 41 extending to the side surface. The air flow passage 41 is a mechanism for allowing air to flow into the container 30 from the outside only as much as the contents are poured out to the outside through the contents distribution passage 18 and the contents in the container 30 are reduced. It is suitable as a pouring cap for bottle containers made of glass that cannot be squeezed.

FIG. 6 shows a third embodiment of the pouring cap according to the present invention, in which the pouring cap of this embodiment is 90 degrees along the inner peripheral surface from both concave portions 22, 22 of the plug body 12. A boss 42 that engages with the content outlet 19 of the collar portion 16 and closes the content outlet 19 is provided at the rotated position. The boss 42 engages with the content outlet 19 to close the content outlet 19, and at the same time, also functions as an engaging means for fixing the stopper 12 to the closed position of the content outlet 19. The side peripheral surface of the flange portion 16 is a convex curved surface to the extent that the plug 12 is elastically deformed and the inner peripheral surface of the plug body 12 can easily pass over the upper end surface or the lower end surface of the flange portion 16. ing.
