The cover 9 has a protrusion 16 protruding from the lower surface of the top wall 9a at a position opposite to the groove 6b of the water outlet 6. The protrusion 16 matches the shape of the groove 6b, and has a shape that extends in the front-rear direction and has a gradually smaller height from the rear end side to the front end side. In addition, the tip of the protruding portion 16 is connected to the peripheral wall portion 9b.

With the cover member 1 of the first embodiment configured as above, when the cover 9 blocks the water outlet 6, the tip of the protrusion 16 will abut the bottom surface of the groove 6b, and the top wall portion 9a The lower surface of the protruding portion 6a abuts against the flat upper surface of the protrusion 6a.

Thereby, for example, when the container body 2 is tilted forward without pressing the lever portion 15 by a misoperation, in order to pour the liquid, the liquid flowing out of the water outlet 6 adheres to the lid 9 and the protrusion. When the flat surface of the portion 6a corresponds to the inner surface, the liquid adhering to the cover 9 will pass through the protrusion 16 and return to the water outlet 6 side. In addition, by contacting the lower surface of the top wall portion 9a with the flat upper surface of the protruding portion 6a, the liquid adhering to the inner surface of the cover 9 can be prevented from leaking from the water outlet 6. Therefore, when the cover 9 is opened, the liquid adhering to the cover 9 can be prevented from scattering around or contaminating the periphery of the water outlet 6.

In addition, in the cover member 1 of the first embodiment, the container body 2 is inclined forward when the cover body 9 opens the water outlet 6, so that it can be more easily poured out of the container body 2 from the water outlet 6 The liquid, and can further improve the drainage of the water outlet 6 after the liquid is poured out.

Specifically, when the water outlet 6 pours the liquid in the container body 2 from the opening 6c through the groove 6b, the concave portion 6d has a function of accumulating liquid, and external air is introduced through the exhaust hole 13 To the inside of the container body 2. Thereby, while preventing air from flowing into the opening 6c, the liquid temporarily accumulated in the recess 6d can slide into the groove 6b from the opening 6c and be poured out. That is, when the liquid flows out from the opening 6c, the opening 6c is filled with the liquid, and therefore, the inflow of air from the opening 6c can be prevented.

On the other hand, since the width and depth of the groove 6b in the water outlet 6 are gradually reduced from the rear end side to the front end side, the drainage of the front end of the groove 6b after the liquid is poured can be improved. In addition, since the groove 6b is inclined downward from the front end side to the rear end side, the liquid flowing along the groove 6b can quickly return to the container body 2 through the opening 6c.

Therefore, the cover member 1 of the first embodiment can prevent the water outlet 6 from being polluted due to the dripping of the liquid from the water outlet 6 or the stagnation of the liquid of the water outlet 6, and the hygiene of the water outlet 6 can be maintained. . In addition, the trouble of frequently cleaning the cover member 1 can be saved.

In addition, the cover member 1 of the first embodiment can improve its cleaning efficiency due to the simple structure of the cover body 7 and the cover body 9 described above. Therefore, the container with lid 100 of the present embodiment can make it easier to use by having such a lid member 1.

In addition, the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and various changes can be added without departing from the spirit of the present invention. For example, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the container with a lid 100 applied to the milk jug is exemplified. However, as long as it is a container with a lid that has a lid member that is detachably attached to the head and neck of the container body, the present invention can be widely applied.

In addition, the above-mentioned embodiment exemplifies the container 100 with a lid that can perform a cold preservation function by using the container body 2 with a vacuum insulation structure, but the present invention can still be applied to a container with a lid provided with a container body without a vacuum insulation structure.
