The present invention relates to a safety cap attached to a container body 1 such as a tube container, a bottle, an aerosol container, and a bottle. FIGS. 1 to 8 are drawings showing an embodiment of the present invention, and an inner cap 3 screwed around an outer periphery of a mouth portion 2 of a container main body 1 of a tube container.
This is a double-structured cap composed of the inner cap 3 and the outer cap 5 placed on the outer periphery of the inner cap 3.

キャップ３に拘らず、自由に回転する。A fixed gap 4 is formed between the inner cap 3 and the outer cap 5 when the outer cap 5 is not pressed, and the outer cap 5 is held by the inner cap 3 when the outer cap 5 rotates counterclockwise. It is covered so that it can rotate freely. Then, as shown in FIG.
When the pressing portion 10 on the side surface of the outer cap 5 is pressed,
Is deformed into an elliptical shape, and the vertical groove 7 formed on the inner peripheral surface of the outer cap 5 engages with the vertical rib 6 formed on the outer peripheral surface of the inner cap 3 so that the outer cap 5 and the inner cap 3 are joined. , And rotate integrally in a counterclockwise direction. As shown in FIG. 2, when the outer cap 5 is displaced by 90 ° from the position shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the inner cap 3 and the outer cap 5 do not engage with each other. Also, the outer cap 5 rotates freely regardless of the inner cap 3.

It engages with the stepped engaging portion 9 that has been ratcheted. That is, as shown in FIG. 6, only when the outer cap 5 is rotated clockwise, the outer cap 5 is engaged with the engagement piece 8 of the inner cap 3, and the outer cap 5 and the inner cap 3 rotate integrally. However, when the outer cap 5 is rotated counterclockwise as shown in FIG. 7, the engaging piece 8 of the inner cap 3 does not engage with the step engaging portion 10 of the outer cap 5, so that the outer cap 5 It idles around the outer periphery of the inner cap 3. It goes without saying that the safety cap according to the present invention can be applied to aerosol containers, bottles, bottles, and the like, in addition to the tube containers disclosed in the drawings.

First, when the inner cap 3 and the outer cap 5 are removed from the mouth 2 of the container body 1, the outer cap 5 is rotated clockwise, and the engaging piece 8 and the step engaging portion 9 are engaged as shown in FIG. Check the position where the outer cap 5 is fitted as shown in FIG.
Of the outer cap 5 by pressing the pressing portion 10 on the outer periphery of the outer cap 5.
And the vertical rib 6 of the inner cap 3 is engaged. Then, by rotating the outer cap 5 counterclockwise in this pressed state, the inner cap 3 and the outer cap 5 can be removed from the mouth 2 of the container body 1. Then, the infant does not notice that the infant rotates while pressing the outer cap 5 at the position where the vertical groove 7 of the outer cap 5 and the vertical rib 6 of the inner cap 3 are engaged. , Only the outer cap 5 is rotated. However, the inner cap 3 only idles between the inner cap 3 and the inner cap 3 cannot be removed from the mouth 2.
