Definitions

  • This invention relates to a cap for container, and more particularly a cap for closing a container made of a plastic material such as PET (polyethylene terephthalate) resin.
  • PET polyethylene terephthalate
  • a plastic container is available in the market in the condition that it is filled with beverage such as water, juice or the like as a content and closed by a cap.
  • the cap is provided with a thread portion at the inner peripheral surface of its upper portion, and the thread portion is engaged with the thread portion which the container is provided with at the outer peripheral portion of its upper portion.
  • the container is sealed by the cap by rotating the cap in a clockwise direction after the container is filled with beverage, and is opened by rotating the in a counter clockwise direction.
  • the cap comprises two main portions, that is, a cap body and a fixed portion which is prevented from removing out from the groove of the container after the fixed portion is inserted in the groove.
  • the cap body and the fixed portion are connected by a cuttable connecter portion such as perforations by which the cap body and the fixed portion be separated. Therefore, when the of the container its released, that is, the container is opened, only the cap body is removed out and the fixed portion remains on the opening portion of the container.
  • the fixed portion of the cap which is left on the opening portion of container should be removed out by using a special tool such as a nipper, which leads to time and labor consuming.
  • a cap for container which comprises a cap body provided with a thread portion at the inner peripheral surface of its upper portion which is engaged with a thread of an opening portion of a container, and a fixed portion connected with said cap body at a cuttable connector portion, said fixed portion comprising an upper ring, and a lower ring provided with lock projections to prevent said lower portion from the opening portion of said container, said upper ring and said lower ring being connected at a connector portion, and said lower ring being provided with at least one cutting line extending from its bottom end to its upper end.
  • a cap 10 in accordance with the present invention is provided with a thread portion 12 at the inner peripheral surface of upper portion of the cap while a container 30 is provided with a thread portion 32 at the outer peripheral portion of upper portion of its opening portion 31.
  • the container is sealed by the cap by rotating the cap in a counter-clockwise direction so that the thread portion 12 is engaged with the thread portion 32 to screw the cap thereon.
  • the cap is rotated in a clockwise direction.
  • two ring portions 34 and 36 are provided, and a ring-shaped groove 38 is formed therebetween.
  • the cap comprises a cap body 11 and a fixed portion 13, and the cap body 11 and the fixed portion 13 is connected by a cuttable connector portion such as perforations.
  • the fixed portion 13 comprises an upper ring 14 and a lower ring 16.
  • the lower ring 16 is provided with lock projections 20 extending from its bottom toward upper central position at intervals on its periphery. When the container is capped to be closed, the lock projections are pushed radially and outwardly to be widely opened and thus the lower ring can be inserted into the groove 38.
  • a plurality of separable or cuttable connector portions 24 is provided between the upper ring 14 and the lower ring 16. As far as the upper ring 14 and the lower ring 16 is separable, perforations may be formed therebetween instead of the connector portions.
  • the upper ring 14 and the lower ring 16 are connected to each other by a connecting portion such as a flexible hinge portion 18.
  • the connecting portion may be made in the form of a strip instead of the hinge.
  • the lower ring 16 is provided with a separable or cuttable portion such as perforations or cut which is cut out when the upper ring 14 is pulled upwardly. It is preferable that the cuttable portion is made of a single perpendicular line 43 or 44, or two lines 43 and 44, a single oblique line 41 or 42, or two lines 41 and 42. It is also preferable that the cuttable portion is formed adjacent the hinge portion 18.
  • Fig. 5 the closing and opening operation of the opening portion by the first embodiment of cap will be explained.
  • the cap 10 and the container 30 are shown individually.
  • the container 30 is capped by putting the cap 10 on the opening portion 31 of the container 30 and then rotating the cap in a clockwise direction.
  • the cap body 11 reaches the position on the ring portion 34 while the fixed portion 13 is positioned in the groove 38.
  • the cap body 11 is guided by the thread to be moved upwardly.
  • the lower ring 16 is made to be engaged with the ring portion 34 due to existence of its lock projections 20 and then is not moved upwardly further more.
  • the separated collection is made as follows.
  • one or more cuttable lines 41 or 42, or 43 or 44 of the lower ring 16 is cut out.
  • the lower ring is developed to become a strip, and the lower ring 16 is easily removed out from the groove 38.
  • the two lines are cut out, the lower ring also becomes a strip, and then the lower ring 16 is easily removed out from the groove 38.
  • Figs. 4 and 6 the second embodiment of cap will be explained.
  • the cap 10 and the container 30 are shown individually.
  • the second embodiment is mainly different from the first embodiment in that a hinge portion or strip 21 is provided between the cap body 11 and the upper ring 14 of the fixed portionl3. Since the other construction in accordance with the second embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment the detailed explanation will be omitted.
  • the hinge portion 21 is provided at the approximately opposite side of the hinge portion 18.
  • the cuttable line 51 or 52 may be provided adjacent the hinge portion 21.
