Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a novel structure of a cap opening in a liquid container such as a magic bottle.

In the conventional liquid container opening section, by rotating the lid screwed onto the exterior body of the liquid container, the plug integrally provided on the lid moves up and down, opening the opening at the top of the exterior body. Many of them had parts that could be opened and closed. Since this device has a rotating almost circular lid, it has the disadvantage that it is difficult to tell at a glance whether it is open or closed, and it is often left open and tipped over. Accidents such as boiling water overflowing and causing burns occurred, and there were many unnecessary operations such as accidentally forgetting to open the bottle and trying to pour out the liquid with the bottle closed. It is.

In addition, there is a so-called automatic stopper that allows the contents to be poured out simply by tilting the liquid container, but this has the disadvantage that heat easily escapes and the contents leak out when the container is tipped over. are doing.
