Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent the peripheral parts from getting wet due to the contents and the contents from falling in drops and securely install on a container, by forming a guide assisting the discharge to shape a funnel which is elastically and symmetrically reversible to both upward and downward from the peripheral edge of a pouring faucet as a base position. CONSTITUTION:In a pouring faucet composed of a pouring faucet body 4 provided with an attachment 3 to fix the discharge hole 2 or a container, a cover 6 sealing the discharge opening 5, a guide 7 to help pour from toe discharge opening 5, the guide 7 is formed to shape a funnel which is elastically and symmetrically reversible both upward and downward from the peripheral edge of the discharge opening 5 as the base position. When transporting the container 1, the pouring faucet body 4 is closely packed in a bag body in the state that the guide is reversely turned downward and the guide 7 is attached at the nearby position of the discharge hole 2 in the state that it is positioned at a lower level than the discharge opening 5. When the contents is distributed, the seal stuck on the discharge hole 2 is removed and the pouring faucet is fitted so that the guide 7 is positioned at a higher level than the discharge opening 5. Since a part of the periphery of the guide 7 is protruded passing through the upper part of the connection part 8, the contents can be discharged well.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a pouring plug which is attached to a pouring hole of a container to assist pouring or to seal the pouring port.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, containers containing liquid such as beverages,
Particularly, a container having a relatively large internal volume is equipped with a pouring plug which is used by being attached to its spout. The dispenser is attached so that the liquid does not spill or drip when it is distributed to a glass, etc.A container equipped with such a dispenser generally has a shape that is prone to dripping. There are many things. For example, a side plate, a bottom plate, and an upper plate that are separately molded before assembly are necessarily formed with a joint by caulking or gluing after assembly, and the joint is provided for convenience of packaging and the like. It is common sense to stand vertically toward the bottom and top plates. Thus, the vertically erected joint is indispensable for molding of the container, and at the same time, it is one of the major factors that hinder good pouring.

The problem caused by the existence of the above-mentioned joint is eliminated,
In order to stabilize the flowing direction of the poured liquid, it is effective to provide a guide that passes above the joint and projects to the side to some extent. In many cases, the pouring plug itself is formed higher so that it is located higher than the part. Although the spout plug itself is shaped low inside, the tip is directed upward when the spout plug is attached and the guide abuts on the joint part even though the guide is formed to be thin and bendable. There is also a structure that is configured to pass through above the joint and project to the side of the container while curving.

[0004]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional means, for example, when the pouring stopper is formed higher than the joint portion, the pouring stopper protrudes higher than the joint portion of the container, and the products may be shaken during transportation. There is a problem that the pouring plug comes off from the product container due to the load on the pouring plug installation location due to contact or the like. Further, if the guide is simply formed into a bendable thin wall as described above, there is a problem that the amount of the guide spilling to the side at the time of pouring is extremely large and the function as the guide cannot be sufficiently fulfilled. In addition, the conventional guide provided on the spout has a relatively narrow width, and there is a problem that the guide spills to the side especially when the momentum at the time of spouting is strong immediately after opening.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a pouring stopper which is less likely to spill or drip the contents and which can be securely installed in a container.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems] A pouring plug main body having a mounting portion for mounting in a pouring hole of a container, a lid for sealing the pouring outlet, and a guide for assisting pouring from the pouring outlet. In the tap, the guide is formed in a funnel shape which can be vertically and elastically and symmetrically inverted with respect to the peripheral edge of the spout.

[0007]

[Function] The guide is formed so as to be vertically and elastically and symmetrically reversible based on the periphery of the spout, so that the guide is in a high state suitable for pouring out contents or in a low state suitable for installation during transportation. By making the guide into a funnel shape, the contents can be prevented from spilling or dripping.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT An embodiment of a spout according to the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. In this embodiment, a spout body 4 provided with a spout 5, a lid 6 for sealing the spout 5, and a guide 7 for assisting the pouring of contents are integrally molded of synthetic resin. is there.

The spout body 4 is a cylindrical frame having a height slightly lower than that of the joint portion 8 of the container 1, and at the lower end thereof,
A mounting portion 3 for mounting the container 1 in the pouring hole 2 is provided. The mounting portion 3 of the present embodiment is formed such that the wall thickness is gradually increased from the upper side to the lower side, and vertical notches 9 are provided at substantially equal intervals to fit into the pouring hole 2 of the container 1. Further, the outer diameter is set to be sufficiently larger than the thin region 3a of the mounting portion 3 and the stop portion 11 which contacts the surface of the upper plate 10 of the container 1 at the time of mounting is formed to limit the fitting of the pouring plug.
The mounting portion 3 is not limited to the above-described fitting form, and may be, for example, a form in which an adhesive surface is provided and adhesion is performed.

At the upper end of the spout main body 4, there is provided a funnel-shaped guide 7 which gradually widens from the peripheral edge of the spout 5, and by molding it into a thinner wall than other parts,
Based on the peripheral edge of the spout 5, it can be vertically and elastically and symmetrically inverted. The guide 7 is the lid 6
The notch 12 has a shape substantially equal to that of the lid 6, and the lid 6 has the notch 1.
It is designed to be able to come and go through 2. This notch 1
The presence of 2 shortens the connecting portion 13 interposed between the spout body 4 and the lid 6, and avoids the complexity of the integrally-molded frame, etc., thus reducing the manufacturing cost. is there.

The outer diameter of the thick region 3b of the mounting portion 3 is set to be slightly larger than the diameter of the pouring hole 2 of the container 1, and the outer diameter of the thin region 3a is also set to the pouring hole 2 of the container 1. The diameter is set to be slightly larger than the diameter of the pouring hole 2 in order to increase the adhesion to the peripheral edge. Further, in order to make it difficult for the pouring plug to come out of the pouring hole 2, it is desirable that the outer diameter of the thick region 3b of the mounting portion 3 be sufficiently larger than the outer diameter of the thin region 3a.

The lid 6 is provided on the lower surface of the circular sealing plate 6a, and has a cylindrical frame 6b which fits into the spout 5 of the spout main body 4.
It is one that is integrally projected. The peripheral edge of the sealing plate 6a is projected in a brim shape over the entire circumference to the side of the frame body 6b, and serves as a stopper at the time of opening or a stopper at the time of closing.

The pouring plug according to the present invention is constructed as described above, and during transportation, as shown in FIG. 1 (a), the guide 7 is turned downward, and pouring is performed as shown in FIG. In a state in which the tap body 4 is housed in the bag body 15 and the guide 7 is located below the spout 5, as shown in FIG. 3, the package is hermetically sealed, and the container 1 is provided with adhesive or the like in the vicinity of the pouring hole 2. It is fixed. Needless to say, the pouring hole 2 of the container 1 is sealed by the seal 14 or the like. When distributing the contents, the seal 14 attached to the pouring hole 2 of the container 1 is removed, and as shown in FIG. 1 (b), the pouring plug is positioned such that the guide 7 is positioned higher than the pouring port 5. Mating with. The height of the spout is set so that the highest position of the guide 7 is higher than that of the joint portion 8 when the spout 2 is attached to the spout hole 2. Since it is in a desirable state of projecting to the side of the container 1 through the upper part of 8, the contents can be satisfactorily poured out. Besides, the guide 7
Since it is provided almost all around the spout, it also functions as a tray for the contents that have flowed to the side.

[0014]

As described above, if the pouring stopper according to the present invention is used, even if it falls down, the amount of spillage from the container can be minimized by the lid, and the height of the pouring stopper during transportation can be reduced. Since it can be set to a low value and set to a high value during use, for example, if the height during transportation is set lower than the joint part of the container and the height when mounted is set higher than the joint part of the container, The load of the dispensed stopper when transported is reduced, and the dispenser can be prevented from coming off from the container itself. Furthermore, since the tip end of the guide exceeds the joint part of the container at the time of mounting, the contents can be smoothly flowed, and since it is funnel-shaped, spilling to the side or dripping is not likely to occur. It has a practical effect.
