- Such a cap assembly is useful in the various industrial fields such as medical, pharmaceutical, cosmetic and etc..
- the structure disclosed in Japanese Patent Application mentioned above has a problem that a piece cut out from a discharging port falls into a container and a child may swallow it.
- a discharging device which is not separated from a novel neck of a container has been developed, but such a discharging device could not be used to a conventional neck of a container.
- a cap having an assembly-typed housing for storage therein has been known, the assembly-typed housing is limited to the functions as a storage chamber or simply an sealing means thereof.
- WO 2005/049430 A2 describes a cap containing a secondary material, including a fixing member fixed on a container, the fixing member having a hollow main body and a supporting tube extending downward from an inner surface of the hollow main body, the supporting tube having a material exhausting portion and a seal member formed on the lower end of the supporting tube, and a movable member coupled to the fixing member, the movable member having a main body coupled on the main body of the fixing member and a tube extending downward from the main body to define a storage chamber for the secondary material, the tube being provided with an opened lower end through which the secondary material can be filled in the storage chamber, the opened lower end of the tube being tightly interlocked with the seal member formed on the supporting tube of the fixing member after the secondary material is filled in the storage chamber and the movable member is coupled to the fixing member and being released from the seal member so that the secondary material can be mixed with a primary material contained in the container by being exhausted into the bottle through the material exhausting portion formed on the supporting tube of the fixing member.
- DE 299 16 436 U1 is directed to a cap with a thread and a chamber for storing a liquid or solid ingredient.
- WO 2005/091730 is directed to a cap assembly with a storage chamber for a secondary material includes a stationary member for coupling to a neck portion of a container containing a primary material and a movable member detachably coupled to the stationary member and having a storage space defined by the storage chamber for storing the secondary material.
- WO 01/83313 A2 describes a cap for storing powder and releasing it into a bottle.
- the cap comprises a cap top and an inner cap member which fits partially within the cap top to form a closed cavity for storing the powder and the cap is secured over the neck of the bottle.
- the cap is rotated in an anticlockwise direction so that the cap top is rotated and raised o relative to the inner cap member so as to open the cavity, releasing the powder stored therein into the bottle via the neck.
- the cap top is then further rotated in the anticlockwise direction so as to also rotate the inner cap member in the same direction, freeing the cap from the bottle.
- US 5,593,055 describes a tamper-evident, snap-on, screw-off closure is used with a specially shaped container neck.
- the neck has at least one first helical thread on a neck stretch portion, and at least one external ratchet tooth on a locking wall portion below the neck stretch.
- an object of the present invention is to provide a cap assembly having an improved convenience.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a cap assembly which is adapted to open the storage chamber and container at the same time so that a secondary ingredient may be discharged and mixed into a primary ingredient in a container.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a cap assembly having an integral sealing assembly for obtaining improved sealing property.
- a cap assembly mounted on a discharging portion of a container for containing a secondary ingredient different from a primary ingredient in accommodated in a container comprises a cap body formed by an upper cap part and a lower cap part which are connnected by a cut-off line; a housing with a storage chamber for a secondary ingredient formed by the lower portion of the upper cap part; a separate sealing assembly provided below the lower cap part, comprising a scaling element and a space through which the secondary ingredient may be discharged in use; and a mouth formed above the lower cap part.
- FIG. 1 shows a cap assembly 1 in accordance with an embodiment, which may be mounted to a container for example a beverage container in such a way of a conventional thread engagement, a snap-fit engagement or adhering type.
- the cap assembly 1 in FIG. 1 comprises a cap body 10 and a sealing assembly 20.
- the cap body 10 comprises an upper cap part 11 and a lower cap part 12 which are connected by a cut-off line 13, the lower portion of the upper cap part 11 comprises a housing 14 in which a chamber 15 for storage of a secondary ingredient is formed.
- the sealing assembly 20 is provided at the lower opening of the housing 14 having the storage chamber 15 for sealing thereof.
- the sealing assembly 20 comprises a sealing element 21 for blocking the lower opening of the housing 14 and an annular hoop for connecting the sealing assembly 20 to a connecting portion of the lower cap part 12.
- At least one opening 23 is formed between the annular hoop and the sealing hoop 21.
- a mouth 24 is formed above the annular hoop and has a thread 25 for engaging with a thread 17 formed at the inner wall of the upper cap part 11 of the cap body 10.
- An elongated protrusion 26 is upwardly formed at the sealing element 21.
- the elongated protrusion 26 may stir the secondary ingredient in the chamber 15, when a lower end opening of the housing is opened.
- the upper cap part 11 When the upper cap part 11 is turned in use, the upper cap part 11 is disconnected along the cut-off line 13 from the lower cap part and is upwardly moved.
- the lower portion of the housing 14 is disconnected from the sealing clement 21 and then the secondary ingredient in the chamber 15 may be discharged into the container.
- the upper cap part 11 and the lower cap part 12 are easily disconnected by a cut-off line 13 which is a portion that may be easily torn by the thread engagement 17 and 25.
- a cut-off line 13 which is a portion that may be easily torn by the thread engagement 17 and 25.
- other conventional disconnecting structure may be used.
- a snap-on-screw-off type structure is used.
- the sealing assembly 20 may be safely retained by the lower cap part 12.
- the lower cap part 12 may be mounted on the container in such a manner of a snap fit engagement or a adhering to a paper pack or a pouch.
- the separate sealing element 21 may be assembled to the sealing assembly.
- FIG. 2 shows another embodiment of an bottle cap assembly, in which the upper cap part 21 and the lower cap part 212 are separately formed and the mouth 218 is provided above the lower cap part 212.
- the housing 214 with the storage chamber 215 is formed by the lower portion of the upper cap part 211.
- the secondary ingredient in the storage chamber 215 may be discharged into the container through the space formed by departing of the sealing element 21 of the sealing assembly 20 from the housing 214 and is mixed with the primary ingredient in the container.
- the elongated protrusion 26 may be provided at the sealing element 21 and the separate sealing element 21 may be assembled.
