Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] "Industrial application field" This proposal concerns a cap for dispensing liquid.

``Prior Art'' In general, nozzles formed in caps for dispensing liquid include those that stand upright from the top wall of the cap and have the top end as the spout, and those that are formed in an inverted L shape and have the front end as the spout. There is also an exit.

``Problem that the invention aims to solve'' In the case of a dispensing cap that has a nozzle with the top end surface as the spout, the way the liquid comes out depends on how much the container to which the cap is attached is tilted when dispensing. Because of the change in the amount of water, it sometimes jumped out more than expected and contaminated the surrounding area. Although dispensing caps with inverted L-shaped nozzles do not have such drawbacks, dispensing becomes difficult as the stored liquid decreases.

In the present invention, a spout opening toward the front of the cap and a spout opening toward the top of the cap are formed so that they can be selectively used, so that pouring can be easily performed.

"Means for Solving the Problem" The lower half of the peripheral wall 3 hanging down from the periphery of the top wall 2 is used as a fitting part for the container mouth neck, and an opening is made in the front part of the top wall 2. A cap main body 1 has an inner cylindrical portion 5 vertically disposed thereon, and a nozzle 7 erected from the inner peripheral edge of an inward flange 6 attached to the lower end of the inner cylinder; The actuating part 10 connects the rear part of the plate part 12 and has a plug part 13 protruding from the lower front surface of the plate part for watertightly closing the upper end opening of the nozzle.
A cylindrical portion 14 that is suspended from the lower surface of the plate surrounding the
A first engaging portion 8 is fitted onto the outer surface of the nozzle 7 in a water-tight manner and detachably;
and the first engaging portion 8 on the inner surface of the lower end of the cylindrical portion 14.
The second engaging portion 17 is formed so that it can be forcibly crossed over.
When the actuating part 10 is pulled up around the hinge part 11 until both the first and second engaging parts engage with each other, a spout formed in the upper front surface of the cylindrical part 14 opens. 16 and the nozzle 7 communicate with each other, and the spout 16 is formed to open above the front part of the peripheral wall 3 of the cap body.

"Operation" When the actuating part 10 is pulled up around the hinge part 11 until the first and second engaging parts 8 and 17 engage with each other, the plug part 13 comes off from the nozzle 7, and the spout 16 and nozzle 7, and the spout 16 is connected to the peripheral wall 3 of the cap main body, as shown by the double-dotted dot in FIG.

``Embodiment'' To explain the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, 1 is a cap body, a peripheral wall 3 is suspended from the periphery of a top wall 2, and the lower half of the peripheral wall is extended to the container mouth neck. A groove 4 is formed in the front-rear direction on the upper surface of the top wall 2, and an inner cylinder 5 is suspended from an opening bored in the front of the groove. An inward flange 6 is attached to the lower end of the inner cylinder, and a nozzle 7 is erected from the inner peripheral edge of the inward flange. A first engaging portion 8 is provided around the outer surface of the upper end of the nozzle. Further, a finger-rest recess 9 is formed on the front surface of the upper part of the peripheral wall 3.

Reference numeral 10 denotes an actuating section, and a hinge section 1 is provided at the rear of the top wall 2.
1, the rear portions of plate portions 12 are connected, and the plate portions are removably fitted into the groove portions 4.
A plug part 13 is made to protrude from the front lower surface of the plate part,
The top opening surface of the nozzle 7 is watertightly closed by the stopper. Further, a cylindrical portion 14 extending vertically from the lower surface of the plate surrounding the plug portion is fitted to the outer surface of the nozzle 7 in a watertight manner and detachable. A short tube 15 projects forward from the periphery of a through hole bored in the front surface of the upper part of the tube, and the front end surface of the short tube serves as a spout 16. A second engaging portion 1 is formed on the inner surface of the lower end of the cylindrical portion 14 so as to be able to forcibly ride over the first engaging portion 8.
When the operating part 10 is pulled up around the hinge part 11 until the second engaging part and the first engaging part 8 engage with each other, the spout 16 and the nozzle 7
The spout 16 is formed to open upwardly at the front of the peripheral wall 3 of the cap body.

Incidentally, the plate portion 12 of the actuating portion may be a disk as in the second embodiment shown in FIG. in this case,
It is not necessary to form the groove 4 in the top wall 2 of the cap body.

"Effect of the invention" The present invention has the above-mentioned structure, and the cylindrical part 14 with the spout 16 bored in the front of the cap body is connected to the nozzle 7.
Since the spout 16 and the nozzle 7 are configured to be removably fitted to the spout 16 and the nozzle 7 are used for dispensing, the spout 16 is used at the beginning, and when the remaining liquid is low, the nozzle is used. By using No. 7, it can be easily poured, and the structure is simple and can be manufactured at low cost.
