Accumulating energy, expanding the angle between the first end 41 and the second end 42 from about 80° to 100° to a range of about 110° to 150°, releasing the previously accumulated energy, forcing the elastic arm 40 to automatically cover 20 is bounced to the open position and the angle of the angle between the first end 41 and the second end 42 of the resilient arm is restored to a position of about 80° to 100°.

It can be understood that when the person pushes the cover 20 from the open position shown in FIG. 6 to the closed position shown in FIG. 4, the elastic arm 40 is caused to accumulate energy to make the angle between the first end 41 and the second end 42. It expands from a range of about 80° to 100° to a range of about 110° to 150°. At the same time, the first end 41 of the resilient arm also pushes the finger 32 to cause the pusher 30 to move back toward the initial position. When the cover 20 passes the position of the reference axis ,, the elastic arm 40 releases the accumulated energy, forcing the elastic arm 40 to automatically spring the cover 20 back to the closed position, inserting the post 21 into the sealing post hole 11a; and, making the elastic arm first The angle of the angle between the end 41 and the second end 42 returns to a position of about 90°. And, when the cover 20 closes the body 10, the embedded portion 22 is embedded in the recess 11b of the carrying surface 11, and the auxiliary cover 20 is fixedly closed on the body 10 unless the external force or the operating pusher 30 releases the embedded portion 22 and the recessed groove 11b. The chimeric state.

The above operational embodiment has been described assuming that the elastic arm 40 and/or the connecting arm 50 are disposed between the body 10 and the cover 20, but in the case where the pusher 30 is omitted, it is indicated that the person must directly push the cover 20 to swing toward the reference axis, that is, The resilient arm 40 can be forced to spring the cover 20 to the open position.

Typically, this container cap device for containing powders has the following considerations and advantages in comparison to the old method, taking into account the characteristics of the cap structure and the contents of the container: 1 The structural design of the body 10, the cover 20 and the pusher 30, the combined container 60 or associated mating structure has been redesigned. For example, the body 10 forms an alcove 13, the carrier surface 11 is provided with a pivoting portion 14, the skirt 12 is provided with an opening 15 and an opening 16 for assembling the pusher 30; the pusher 30 is provided with a pressing portion 31, a finger portion 32; A resilient arm 40 including a bent portion 43 and a connecting arm 50 having a weak portion 53 are disposed between the cover 20 and the elastic arm 40 cooperates with the pusher 30 or the cover 20 to accumulate or release energy, so that the cover 20 can be automatically The mechanism of popping or closing the body 10 is obviously different from the conventional user and changing its use and operation type, and is different from the old method. 2. The main body surface 11 is provided with a column hole 11a, and the column 21 of the mating cover 20 is automatically inserted into the closed column hole 11a and designed and moved, so that the body 10 and the cover 20 are particularly suitable for a container 60 for accommodating powder or the like. Not only the removal of the more complicated structural structure such as the compression spring and the sealing ring, but also the structural form of the body 10, the cover 20 and the pusher 30, obviously allowing the user to obtain a simple operation, that is, the closed container 60 or the cover 20 of the body 10 is automatically popped open for the user to easily pour out, consume the powder or the like, and also allows the person to bounce back to close the body 10 and the container 60 by simple operation.
