Disclosed herein is a bottle cap. The bottle cap includes an inner lower cap which is coupled to a bottle and has on a lower end thereof a protruding breaking part, an inner upper cap which is coupled to an upper portion of the inner lower cap and moves a push cap downwards through a screw-type fastening method when the inner upper cap is rotated, and the push cap which serves as an additive holding member and has on a bottom thereof a thin-plate-type stopper. The bottle cap includes an outer protective cap which has a support tube therein so that the inner upper cap is fitted into the support tube in such a way as to rotate along with the outer protective cap, and covers an upper end of the inner upper cap and a surface of the bottle. A frictional vibration plate rubs against a frictional plate of the outer protective cap to produce sound of friction, thus indicating a time at which an additive starts to drop into the bottle, because the thin-plate-type stopper is broken, when the inner upper cap moves the push cap down, so that the push and turn screw is disengaged from the hook screw and the inner upper cap moves up.
Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates generally to a bottle cap and, more particularly, to a bottle cap, in which an outer protective cap, integrally covering a cap containing an additive therein and the upper surface of a bottle, is rotated to move a push cap downwards, thus adding the additive to contents in the bottle, and simultaneously an inner upper cap moves upwards, so that a vibration plate rubs against the inner surface of the outer protective cap, thus indicating the time at which the additive starts to be added to the contents, and in which a toy is coupled to the outer protective cap as desired, thus affording various pleasure to a user.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- There has been proposed a bottle cap, which serves as a holding member for holding an additive therein and is constructed so that a bottom of the cap is torn off by a protruding breaking part when the cap moves downwards, thus causing the additive to be added to contents in a bottle. However, such a bottle cap simply adds the additive to the contents in the bottle. The conventional bottle cap is problematic in that a user does not precisely know the time at which the additive in the holding member starts to be added to the contents in the bottle.
- Accordingly, the present invention has been made keeping in mind the above problem occurring in the prior art, and an object of the present invention is to provide a bottle cap, which is constructed so that an inner upper cap is turned together when an outer protective cap is turned, and a thin-plate-type stopper, forming the bottom of a push cap, is broken by the turning force, thus allowing an additive in the cap to be easily added to the contents of a bottle.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a bottle cap that functions as a plaything when an additional toy is coupled to an outer protective cap.
- In order to accomplish the above objects, the present invention provides a bottle cap, having an inner lower cap coupled to a bottle and having on a lower end thereof a protruding breaking part, an inner upper cap coupled to an upper portion of the inner lower cap and moving a push cap downwards through a screw-type fastening method when the inner upper cap is rotated, the push cap serving as an additive holding member and having on a bottom thereof a thin-plate-type stopper, an outer protective cap having a support tube therein so that the inner upper cap is fitted into the support tube in such a way as to rotate along with the outer protective cap, the outer protective cap covering an upper end of the inner upper cap and a surface of the bottle, and a frictional vibration plate rubbing against a frictional plate of the outer protective cap to produce sound of friction, thus indicating a time at which an additive starts to drop into the bottle, because the thin-plate-type stopper is broken, when the inner upper cap moves the push cap down, so that the push and turn screw is disengaged from the hook screw and the inner upper cap moves up.
- Therefore, the present invention provides a bottle cap, in which an outer protective cap is turned so that an inner upper cap is rotated along with the outer protective cap, thus adding an additive to the contents in a bottle, and which makes a sound when rotation has been completed, so that a user can be made aware of the time at which the addition starts using a sound, thus providing convenience to a user.
