Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a cap with a small lid for use in a container for containing powder or liquid contents.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, caps with small lids are connected to the cap body through hinges (hinges) so that the small lid can be opened and closed, and the cap body is sealed by attaching the small lid to the cap body. In order to prevent accidental leakage of objects, the small lid is usually strongly fitted to the cap body. In particular, a cap with a small lid used for a container that needs to be carried more strongly fits the small lid into the cap body.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, the above-described conventional cap with a small lid, when the small lid is opened from the cap body to open the container, the small lid opens from the cap body because the small lid is firmly fitted to the cap body. It was difficult to open the container, especially for children and the elderly. In addition, even when the small lid is securely fitted to the cap body as described above, when carrying it, for example, in a bag, the projection is caught by the small lid and the container is opened. The contents may leak into the bag.
[0004]
The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems of the conventional cap with a small lid. When the container is sealed, the small lid does not open carelessly, and when the container is opened, the small lid is opened. A cap with a small lid that can be easily opened from a cap body with a small force is provided.
[0005]

When opening the container, first put a fingertip on the outer surface or upper end of the guard button attached to the cap body and push the guard button downward, leaving a gap between the small lid and the upper end of the guard button. made, then put finger into the gap, fitting convex portion of the rear upper portion of the guard button accommodating recessed recessed portion of the inner fitting projections and the cap body of the fitting portion of the small lid pushes up the operculum And the small lid can be opened from the cap body using the hinge as a rotation axis. This opening operation, when depressing the guard button, spring provided on the rear surface of the guard button, taken energized by a spring receiving projection provided at the lower part of the guard button accommodating recessed Recessed portion of the cap body In addition, this restoring force is also applied, and the small lid can be easily opened from the cap body with a small force.
[0009]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Based on one embodiment of the cap with a small lid of the present invention, the configuration and the opening / closing mechanism of the small lid will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
[0010]
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the cap (10) with a small lid according to an embodiment of the present invention is a cap body (100) that is attached to the mouth and neck (21) of the bottle (20) by being engaged or screwed. ), A small lid (200) attached to the cap body, and a guard button (300) attached to the cap body. The cap body and the small lid are integrated, and the guard button is a separate body such as polypropylene. It is produced by an injection molding method using this thermoplastic resin.
[0011]
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the small lid (200) has a structure in which one outer peripheral side is connected to an upper side of the cap body (100) via a hinge (210) so as to be opened and closed. A fitting projection (220) having a fitting projection (221) on the inside at the inner peripheral position opposite to the inner side, and a sealing projection for sealing the spout (140) of the cap body on the inner surface (230) is suspended.
[0012]
The cap body (100), as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, provided a guard button accommodating concave Recessed portion upwardly opened in the peripheral wall one side corresponding to the fitting portion of the small lid (220) (130) The guard button receiving recesses are provided with sliding grooves (132) facing the left and right side surfaces (131), respectively, and a fitting convex portion (131) is provided at the upper end of the back surface (133). A spring receiving projection (135) is provided on the portion.
[0013]
As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the guard button (300) is provided with sliding convex portions (301) facing the left and right side surfaces, respectively, and a back surface below the sliding convex portion. Is provided with a spring (303) acting in the vertical direction. In addition, as shown in FIG. 4, the upper end (302) of the guard button (300) is positioned outside and above the outer periphery of the small lid (200) as a cap (10) with a small lid according to another embodiment of the present invention. the guard button may be attached to the guard button accommodating recessed recessed portion of the cap body (100) (130) to.
[0014]
Next, the opening / closing mechanism for the small lid of the cap with a small lid according to the present invention will be described.
When opening the container (20) in which the cap (10) with a small lid of the present invention shown in FIG. 2 is attached to the mouth and neck (21), first, as shown in FIG. 5) between the small lid (200) and the upper end (302) of the guard button by placing a fingertip on the outer surface or the upper end of the guard button (300) attached to A gap of about 10 mm is made, and then, as shown in FIG. 3 (b), a fingertip is put into this gap, and the small lid (200) is pushed up (arrow) to move the fitting portion (220) of the small lid. Remove the fitting of the fitting convex portion of the inner and (221) convex portion fitting the rear upper part of the guard button accommodating recessed recessed portion of the cap body (100) and (134), further illustrated in FIG. 3 (c) The cap body with the small lid (200) as the rotation axis Open 100) (arrow) that can spout (140 of the cap body) of the container open (20) is opened. Incidentally, the guard button of the back surface of the spring (303), as shown in FIG. 3 (a), when depressing the guard button (300) downward, the guard button accommodating recessed Recessed portion of the cap body (100) (130 become energized by a spring receiving projection provided (135) to the lower portion of) the energized spring, as shown in FIG. 3 (b), the small lid (200) and a guard button (300) This is restored when the small lid is pushed up by inserting the fingertip into the gap with the upper end (302), and the restoring force is added to the pushing force by the fingertip.
[0015]
When the container is sealed, when the small lid is attached to the cap body with the hinge as a rotation shaft, the fitting portion (220) of the small lid (200) is attached to the cap body as shown in FIGS. guard button accommodating recessed recessed portion back of (130) and (133) enters between the guard button (130), the fitting convex portion provided on the inner side of the fitting portion of the small lid (100) is (221) convex portion fitting the rear upper part of the guard button accommodating recessed recessed portion of the cap body is fitted to (134), provided on the inner surface of the small lid spout (140) provided on the top plate of the cap body (120) The sealing convex part (230) thus fitted is inserted to seal the container. The upper end (302) of the guard button is provided so as to be close to the small lid, and the outer surface of the guard button is formed to be outside the outer periphery of the small lid.
[0016]
【The invention's effect】
When the cap with a small lid of the present invention is attached to the mouth of the container and seals the container, the small lid is fitted to the cap body with the small lid being attached to the cap body. Since the guard button attached to the cap body from the outside guards the part, the small lid does not open carelessly from the cap body due to an unexpected external force.
[0017]
Further, when the cap with a small lid of the present invention is attached to the mouth of the container, when the container is opened, the guard button attached to the cap body is pushed down with a fingertip, and the gap between the small lid and the guard button is set. It is only necessary to push up the small lid by inserting a fingertip, and the small lid can be easily opened from the cap body with a small force.
