Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to the structure of a resealable spout of a liquid container.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, in paper containers for storing liquids such as alcoholic beverages and juices (for example, there are Gebert top-type paper containers), the spout has a connection point from the main body of the container, as shown in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 58-37828. A spout is provided with a spout that is attached in a protruding state and is covered with a cap, and the sealing film inside the spout can be broken to pour out the contents. It was constructed so that it could be resealed.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional spout stopper, since it protrudes from the container body as mentioned above, when stacking containers or handling the containers,
There was a problem in that the spout was easily damaged due to the spout coming into contact with other containers.

[Means for solving problems]

The present invention was made in consideration of the above-mentioned conventional problems.The lower end piece is connected to the container body through a hinge at the bottom of the center piece, and the lower end piece is connected to the container body through hinges on both sides of the center piece. a spout having wing pieces that cover the spout of the container body; and a cover attached to the container body and having left and right cover portions for storing each of the wings of the spout so as to be freely put in and taken out. Since the pouring spout is rotatably provided between the cover parts, the conventional problems are solved.

[Effect]

In the present invention, the spout of the container body is opened by pulling the spout tool from the container body, and the spout is sealed by tilting the spout tool toward the spout side. Sometimes the spout is flattened so that it does not protrude from the container body.

〔Example〕

Next, the present invention will be explained in detail based on the embodiments shown in FIGS. 1 to 7.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a Gebert-top type liquid container for storing alcoholic beverages, juices, etc., and a spout 2 from which the contents are poured out is located on the upper inclined surface 1a of the liquid container 1.

As shown in FIG. 2, the spout section 2 includes a spout 3 corresponding to the spout 1b located on the upper inclined surface 1a, and a cover 4 attached from above to cover the spout 3. The spout 1b to which the spout tool 3 corresponds is sealed from the inside of the container body with a sealing film 5 that is easily broken.
The pouring spout 3 is molded from a flexible synthetic resin material, and has a lower end piece 31 connected to the lower part of a rectangular central piece 30 via a hinge 30a, and a lower end piece 31 connected to the lower part of a rectangular central piece 30 via hinges 30b on both left and right sides. Fan-shaped wing pieces 32 are arranged in series.

Further, the cover 4 has a pair of fan-shaped cover parts 40 corresponding to the wing pieces 32 of the spout 3, with a stay part 41 in between. The arcuate side edges 40a and lower edge 40b of the cover portion 40 formed in the are adhesively fixed to the upper inclined surface 1a, and the area around the cover is sealed, and the space between the cover portion 40 and the upper inclined surface 1a is sealed. forming a winglet storage part a,
It covers the wing pieces so that they can be taken in and out. In order to improve the adhesion between the cover and the upper inclined surface, a flange is made to protrude from the side edge 40a and the lower edge 40b, and the side edge and the lower edge are adhesively fixed to the upper inclined surface together with the flange. You can do it like this.

The lower end piece 31 of the spout tool 3 has an upper inclined surface 1a.
and the stay portion 4 of the cover 4.
1 as well, and the center piece 30 can swing around the hinge 30a. Furthermore, since each of the wing pieces 32 connected via the hinge 30b is housed in the cover part 40 so as to be freely put in and taken out, the spout tool 3 can be pulled up and pushed back through the cover part 40 of the cover 4. It is rotatably supported.

When the spout tool 3 is pulled up, since the sealing film 2 is adhered to the center piece 30,
The sealing film 2 is broken, the spout 1b is opened, and the contents inside the container body can be poured out, and the wing pieces 32 pulled out from the cover part 40 side are erected on both sides of the center piece 30. The pouring spout 3 takes on the shape of a gutter and can reliably pour out the contents. Further, when the pulled out spout 3 is pushed back, each of the wing pieces 32 is stored on the cover side, and the center piece 30 covers the spout 1b, so that the spout 3 does not protrude from the upper inclined surface and becomes flat. condition and reseal.

In the spout 3, a wedge-shaped base 33 is connected to the lower edge of each wing piece 32 via a hinge 30c, and a protrusion 34 that protrudes laterally is integrally provided at the tip of the base 33. It is being This protrusion 34 is engaged with a convex portion 42 located at the inner upper end of the side edge of the cover portion 40, and prevents the wing pieces from coming off when the spout tool 3 is pulled out. Further, as shown in FIG. 7, recesses 43 are provided in the vicinity of the upper and lower ends of the side edges of the cover portion 40, with which the projections 34 are removably engaged, so that when the spout tool 3 is pulled out (note The wing pieces 32 are positioned and temporarily fixed when the spout is opened) and pushed back (when the spout is not opened or when the spout is closed), and the spout is protected from contact with other objects or careless force. It may be provided so that it does not move.

[Effect of idea]

As explained above, according to the present invention, the spout part includes a spout tool that has wings on both sides via a hinge and covers the spout, and a spout tool that covers the spout and covers the wing pieces of the spout tool. It has left and right cover parts that can be stored in and out of the container, and a cover attached to the container body, and the spout is rotatably provided between the cover parts, making it easy to pull out the spout. With this operation, the spout is opened and the contents can be poured out from the container body, and the spout tool becomes a gutter-like shape so that the contents can be poured out without scattering. In addition, when closing the spout, the spout can be sealed by simply pushing the spout tool back toward the spout side, and the spout can be sealed in place of a stopper, and the spout can be flattened along the container body. It has excellent practical effects, such as not getting in the way and not being damaged when handling the container.
