Description

[Detailed description of the invention] "Industrial application field" This invention relates to a pouring cap for a can that stores liquids such as cooking oil.

``Conventional technology'' In the past, when taking out cooking oil from a can, it was often done by simply drilling a spout hole in the top plate of the can, but this method prevents oil from entering the can when pouring out. This has the disadvantage that it adheres to the outer wall of the housing and drips along the outer wall, staining the housing and surrounding areas, resulting in unsanitary conditions. Therefore,
After the can is opened, a cap is attached to the can and the entire top surface of the can is covered with a main lid, and a spout is provided in a part of the main lid and attached to the tip of a connecting piece that protrudes from the main lid. The spout has been closed with a small lid, but in this case, the small lid swings together with the connecting piece when the small lid is removed, which tends to get in the way when pouring out liquid. Therefore, the present applicant et al. (Utility Model Application Publication No. 57-71065) formed raised parts on both the left and right sides of the main lid, and these raised parts sandwiched the above-mentioned connecting piece. The company has applied for a cap that can prevent rocking.

``Problems to be solved by the invention'' In the conventional caps mentioned above, the length of the connecting piece is longer than the distance from the connecting piece attachment part of the main lid to the connecting piece attachment part of the small lid, in order to facilitate the attachment and detachment of the small lid. Since the connecting piece was made to be large and flexed, there was a drawback that the flexure became a hindrance. The present invention eliminates this drawback, and when the small lid is removed, the small lid is temporarily fixed to the main lid to prevent it from swinging, and the oil dripping from the rim of the spout is collected into the container body. It has excellent functionality and is easy to use.
Also, it can be molded at low cost.

"Means for Solving the Problem" The container body fitting peripheral wall 5 is vertically disposed from the peripheral edge of the top wall 4, and the outer peripheral part 4a of the top wall, the front-rear band-shaped part 4b passing through the center of the top wall, and the belt-shaped Both the left and right portions of the top wall, excluding the top wall portion 4c that extends further left and right from the band-like portion around the front end of the portion, are made into first ridges 4d, 4d of the same height, and the rear portion of the band-like portion 4b is , a second raised portion 4e which is slightly lower than the first raised portions 4d, 4d, and an auxiliary cap peripheral wall 6 which is lower than the first raised portion 4d from the front top wall portion 4c. The surrounding top wall portion is opened, and from the opening periphery, a liquid spouting tube 7 higher than the auxiliary cap peripheral wall 6 and lower than the first raised portion 4d is inserted between the peripheral wall 6 and the spouting tube 7.
