Description

本発明は、ボトル保持機能付キャップ、特にキャップ本体が飲用の妨げとならない安定した姿勢で保持され且つボトルに安定した状態で付随されるように構成されたボトル保持機能付キャップに関する。   The present invention relates to a cap with a bottle holding function, and more particularly to a cap with a bottle holding function configured so that a cap body is held in a stable posture that does not interfere with drinking and is attached to a bottle in a stable state.

従来、ボトルの開口部を封止しているキャップ本体を開封したのち、キャップ本体がボトルから離脱して紛失することがないように、キャップ本体と封緘リングを連結帯で連結した封緘リング付キャップが知られている（例えば、特許文献１を参照。）。この封緘リング付キャップは、キャップの下部に切欠き部から２つの破断部（スコアライン）が周方向に沿って平行に設けられ、且つ上のスコアラインは切欠き部から離隔した地点から発し周方向に沿って最後は切欠き部に到り、一方下のスコアラインは切欠き部から発し周方向に沿って最後は切欠き部から離隔した地点に到るように構成されている。これにより、開栓と共に、スコアラインが破断してキャップ本体と封緘リングは細長の連結帯によって連結され、封緘リングはボトルのネックリング部に係止しているため、キャップ本体は開栓後もボトルから離脱しないようになる。   Conventionally, after opening the cap body that seals the opening of the bottle, a cap with a sealing ring that connects the cap body and the sealing ring with a connecting band so that the cap body does not come off the bottle and is lost. Is known (see, for example, Patent Document 1). This cap with a sealing ring is provided with two broken parts (score lines) parallel to the circumferential direction from the notch part at the bottom of the cap, and the upper score line originates from a point separated from the notch part. The last score line along the direction reaches the notch, while the lower score line starts from the notch and finally reaches the point separated from the notch along the circumferential direction. As a result, along with the opening, the score line is broken, and the cap body and the sealing ring are connected by an elongated connecting band, and the sealing ring is locked to the neck ring portion of the bottle. Do not leave the bottle.

上記従来の封緘リング付キャップでは、キャップ本体は連結帯によって拘束され支持されることになる。
しかしながら、連結帯は上下２つのスコアラインにより連結されているため、両方のスコアライン（や橋絡部）を完全に破断する必要があるが、この両方のスコアライン等を確実に破断することは困難である。また、スコアライン等を破断でき、ストラップを形成したとしても、キャップに口を付けて内容物を飲む時に、キャップ本体やストラップが飲用の妨げとなる。
そこで、本発明は、かかる従来技術の問題点に鑑みなされたものであって、キャップ本体が飲用の妨げとならない安定した姿勢で保持され且つボトルに安定した状態で付随されるように構成されたボトル保持機能付キャップを提供することである。 In the conventional cap with a sealing ring, the cap body is restrained and supported by the connecting band.
However, since the connecting band is connected by two upper and lower score lines, it is necessary to completely break both score lines (and the bridging part). Have difficulty. Even if the score line can be broken and the strap is formed, the cap body and the strap obstruct the drinking when the mouth is attached and the contents are drunk.
Accordingly, the present invention has been made in view of the problems of the prior art, and is configured such that the cap body is held in a stable posture that does not interfere with drinking and is attached to the bottle in a stable state. It is to provide a cap with a bottle holding function.

前記目的を達成するために請求項１に記載のボトル保持機能付キャップでは、ボトル口部とネジ係合するキャップ本体と、破断可能な弱化部を介して該キャップ本体に連結されたタンパーエビデントバンドとを具備したボトル保持機能付キャップであって、前記キャップ本体は開栓時に前記タンパーエビデントバンドと係合する係合手段を有し、且つ前記キャップ本体と前記タンパーエビデントバンドとは可変形連結片によって連結され、且つ該可変形連結片の前記キャップ本体との連結部と同前記タンパーエビデントバンドとの連結部とは該キャップの周方向に沿って離隔した位置にあることを特徴とする。

As a result, when the cap body is folded back via the deformable connecting piece, the cap body is engaged with the tamper evidence band by the engaging means. As a result, the cap body is held in a stable posture that does not interfere with drinking and is attached to the bottle in a stable state. Further, since at least two of the variable connecting pieces are disposed with the engaging means interposed therebetween, the screw engaging with the bottle mouth portion of the cap main body is loosened and the variable connecting piece starts to rise, and the cap main body opens the bottle opening. It becomes easy to come off from the part. Further, since the cap main body is stably folded back via the variable shape connecting piece because the at least two variable shape connecting pieces are sandwiched, the engaging means is preferably engaged with the tamper evident band. Come together.
Further, when the deformable connecting piece has a thin portion in the vicinity of the middle, the cap body easily falls to the outside of the opening of the bottle, and as a result, the cap body and the tamper evidence band are more easily engaged.
Further, the cap body has a hook having a recess that engages with the edge of the tamper evidence band, and the edge of the tamper evidence band and the recess of the hook are engaged with each other outside the opening of the bottle.

図１の（ａ）は、本発明のボトル保持機能付キャップ１００を示す斜視図である。また、同（ｂ）は同正面図である。
このボトル保持機能付キャップ１００は、ボトルの開口部を閉又は開栓するキャップ本体１０と、未開封時において後述のブリッジ及びバンドを介してタンパーエビデント性を示すと共にキャップ本体１０に連結してキャップ本体１０をボトルに付随させるタンパーエビデントバンド２０と、破断してタンパーエビデント性を示す弱化部としてのブリッジ３０と、開栓後にキャップ本体１０がタンパーエビデントバンド２０に対し折り返されることを可能とする可変形連結片としてのバンド４０とを具備して構成されている。 (A) of FIG. 1 is a perspective view which shows the cap 100 with a bottle holding function of this invention. Moreover, the same (b) is the same front view.
The cap 100 with a bottle holding function is connected to the cap body 10 and exhibits a tamper evidence through a bridge and a band which will be described later when the bottle is not opened. The tamper evidence band 20 that attaches the cap body 10 to the bottle, the bridge 30 as a weakened portion that breaks and exhibits tamper evidence, and the cap body 10 is folded back to the tamper evidence band 20 after opening. And a band 40 as a variable connecting piece that can be formed.

図１の（ａ）に示すように、キャップ本体１０のスカート下部には、タンパーエビデントバンド２０と係合してキャップ本体１０がボトル開口部の外側に開いた状態を保持する係合手段としてのフック１１が配設されている。   As shown in FIG. 1 (a), at the lower part of the skirt of the cap body 10, as an engaging means for engaging with the tamper evidence band 20 and keeping the cap body 10 open outside the bottle opening. The hook 11 is disposed.

タンパーエビデントバンド２０は、ボトルネック部の顎部と同ネックリング部との間に係留しながら未開封時にはブリッジ３０及びバンド４０と共にキャップ本体１０の開栓に対し抵抗となる。他方、開栓後は、キャップ本体１０にバンド４０を介して繋がりながらボトルネック部の顎部と同ネックリング部との間で軸方向および周方向に対し移動可能に係留して、キャップ本体１０をボトルに付随させる。   The tamper-evident band 20 is anchored between the neck portion of the bottle neck portion and the neck ring portion and resists the opening of the cap body 10 together with the bridge 30 and the band 40 when not opened. On the other hand, after opening, the cap main body 10 is moored so as to be movable in the axial direction and the circumferential direction between the neck portion of the bottle neck portion and the neck ring portion while being connected to the cap main body 10 via the band 40. Is attached to the bottle.

ブリッジ３０は薄肉の超短片から成り、未開封時においてキャップ本体１０とタンパーエビデントバンド２０とを連結し、不正開封されたか否かを判別する目印となる、いわゆるタンパーエビデント性（ＴＥ性）を示す。   The bridge 30 is made of a thin ultra-thin piece, connects the cap body 10 and the tamper evidence band 20 when not opened, and serves as a mark for determining whether or not the tamper evidence has been opened, so-called tamper evidence (TE property). Indicates.

バンド４０は、ブリッジ３０と同じくキャップ本体１０とタンパーエビデントバンド２０とを繋ぐ細長片ではあるが、初開栓後もキャップ本体１０とタンパーエビデントバンド２０とを繋ぎ、その結果、キャップ本体１０がボトルに付随するようになる。また、詳細については図２を参照しながら後述するが、バンド４０は、タンパーエビデントバンド２０の上端からキャップ本体１０の下端で連結されキャップ本体１０の周方向に沿ってフック１１を挟みながら開栓方向とは逆向きに上方に延びながら２個配設され、キャップ本体１０の開栓に応じて立ち上がり始め、キャップ本体１０とボトルネック部とのネジ締結が解除する時にバンド４０が最大に立ち上がるように構成されている。また、バンド４０の長さは、少なくともバンド４０が最大に立ち上がった時にキャップ本体１０とボトルネック部とのネジ締結が解除する程度の長さである。   The band 40 is an elongated piece that connects the cap body 10 and the tamper evidence band 20 similarly to the bridge 30, but the cap body 10 and the tamper evidence band 20 are connected after the initial opening, and as a result, the cap body 10 Comes to accompany the bottle. Although details will be described later with reference to FIG. 2, the band 40 is connected from the upper end of the tamper evidence band 20 to the lower end of the cap body 10 and is opened while sandwiching the hook 11 along the circumferential direction of the cap body 10. Two of them are arranged while extending upward in the direction opposite to the direction of the stopper, and starts to rise in response to the cap body 10 being opened, and the band 40 rises to the maximum when the screw fastening between the cap body 10 and the bottle neck portion is released. It is configured as follows. The length of the band 40 is such a length that the screw fastening between the cap body 10 and the bottle neck portion is released at least when the band 40 rises to the maximum.

バンド４０は、キャップ本体１０を後方へ折り返すヒンジ機構として機能する。また、バンド４０は中央近傍に薄肉部を有し、キャップ本体１０を容易に後方へ折り返すことが出来るように構成されている。   The band 40 functions as a hinge mechanism that folds the cap body 10 backward. Further, the band 40 has a thin portion near the center, and is configured so that the cap body 10 can be easily folded back.

図２は、本発明のボトル保持機能付キャップ１００の動作を示す説明図である。図２の（ａ）は、ブリッジ３０が破断した状態を示し、同（ｂ）は、バンド４０が最大に立ち上がって、キャップ本体１０とボトルネック部とのネジ締結が解除される状態を示し、同（ｃ）は、キャップ本体１０がタンパーエビデントバンド２０に係合している状態を示している。
先ず、図２（ａ）に示すように、キャップ本体１０が開栓方向に回転すると、バンド４０は図示の如く倒れた姿勢から立ち上がるようになる。このとき、タンパーエビデントバンド２０のフラップがボトルネック部の顎部Ａに係止している。 FIG. 2 is an explanatory view showing the operation of the cap 100 with a bottle holding function of the present invention. 2A shows a state in which the bridge 30 is broken, and FIG. 2B shows a state in which the band 40 rises to the maximum and the screw fastening between the cap body 10 and the bottleneck portion is released. FIG. 2C shows a state in which the cap body 10 is engaged with the tamper evidence band 20.
First, as shown in FIG. 2 (a), when the cap body 10 rotates in the opening direction, the band 40 comes up from a tilted position as shown. At this time, the flap of the tamper evident band 20 is locked to the jaw A of the bottle neck.

続いて、同（ｂ）に示すように、なおもキャップ本体１０を開栓方向に回転させるとバンド４０は最大に立ち上がり、キャップ本体１０はボトルの軸方向に対し最大変位してボトルの開口部から容易に離脱して、後方に倒れ易くなる。また、バンド４０は、中央近傍に薄肉部を有しているため、キャップ本体１０を後方へ折り返すヒンジ機構として好適に機能する。   Subsequently, as shown in (b), when the cap body 10 is still rotated in the opening direction, the band 40 rises to the maximum, and the cap body 10 is displaced maximum with respect to the axial direction of the bottle to open the bottle opening. Easily disengage from and easily fall back. Further, since the band 40 has a thin portion in the vicinity of the center, the band 40 suitably functions as a hinge mechanism that folds the cap body 10 backward.

同（ｃ）に示すように、バンド４０は、キャップ本体１０をボトルの開口部の外側に折り返すヒンジ機構として機能し、キャップ本体１０は折り返されて、フック１１がタンパーエビデントバンド２０に係合することにより、キャップ本体１０は安定した姿勢でタンパーエビデントバンド２０に係合する。   As shown in FIG. 4C, the band 40 functions as a hinge mechanism that folds the cap body 10 outward of the opening of the bottle. The cap body 10 is folded and the hook 11 engages with the tamper-evident band 20. By doing so, the cap main body 10 engages with the tamper evident band 20 in a stable posture.

図３は、キャップ本体１０がタンパーエビデントバンド２０に係合した状態を示す説明図である。
Ａ部詳細に示すように、キャップ本体１０のスカートの下部にはフック１１が設けられ、フック１１の凹部１１ａがタンパーエビデントバンド２０の縁部の周方向の一部又は全周に沿って形成された突起部２０ａに係合して、キャップ本体１０はボトルの開口部の外側に開いた状態で安定して保持されることになる。なお、突起部２０ａを周方向の一部に設ける場合は、バンド４０,４０の付根部（タンパーエビデントバンド２０との連結部）間にわたって形成されていることが望ましい。また、キャップ本体１０をボトルの開口部の側に倒すことにより、容易にフック１１の凹部１１ａとタンパーエビデントバンド２０の突起部２０ａとの係合を解除することが出来る。 FIG. 3 is an explanatory view showing a state in which the cap body 10 is engaged with the tamper evident band 20.
As shown in detail in part A, a hook 11 is provided at the lower part of the skirt of the cap body 10, and a recess 11 a of the hook 11 is formed along a part or the entire circumference of the circumferential portion of the edge of the tamper evident band 20. The cap main body 10 is stably held in a state where the cap main body 10 is opened outside the opening of the bottle by engaging with the protruding portion 20a. In addition, when providing the protrusion part 20a in a part of circumferential direction, it is desirable to form over the base part (connecting part with the tamper evident band 20) of the bands 40 and 40. As shown in FIG. Further, the cap body 10 can be easily disengaged from the recess 11a of the hook 11 and the protrusion 20a of the tamper evident band 20 by tilting the cap body 10 toward the opening of the bottle.

上記ボトル保持機能付キャップ１００によれば、キャップ本体１０はタンパーエビデントバンド２０に係合するフック１１を有し、またキャップ本体１０とタンパーエビデントバンド２０を連結する弱化部が、開栓時に破断してタンパーエビデント性を示すブリッジ３０とキャップ本体１０がタンパーエビデントバンド２０に折り返されることを可能とするバンド４０とから成り、更にバンド４０は、キャップ本体１０の周方向に沿ってフック１１を挟むようにして開栓方向とは逆向きに上方に延びながら２個配設され、キャップ本体１０の開栓に応じてバンド４０が立ち上がるように構成されている。これにより、開栓時において、ブリッジ３０が破断してタンパーエビデントバンド２０が自由となり続いてバンド４０が立ち上がり、続いてキャップ本体１０とボトルネック部との締結が解除するまでバンド４０が立ち上がり、そしてキャップ本体１０がバンド４０によって折り返されてタンパーエビデントバンド２０に係合するようになる。また、バンド４０が中間近傍において薄肉部を有する場合は、キャップ本体１０が容易にボトルの開口部の外側に倒れやすくなり、その結果キャップ本体１０とタンパーエビデントバンド２０が好適に係合し易くなる。
更に、キャップ本体１０は、タンパーエビデントバンド２０の縁部の周方向に沿って形成された突起部２０ａに係合する凹部１１ａを備えたフック１１を有し、タンパーエビデントバンド２０の突起部２０ａとフック１１の凹部１１ａが係合することによりボトルの開口部の外側に傾斜して保持されるように構成されている。これにより、キャップ本体１０が飲用の妨げとならない安定した姿勢で保持され且つボトルに安定した状態で付随されるようになる。 According to the bottle holding function cap 100, the cap body 10 has the hook 11 that engages with the tamper-evidence band 20, and the weakening part that connects the cap body 10 and the tamper-evidence band 20 is used when the cap is opened. It consists of a bridge 30 that breaks and exhibits tamper evidence and a band 40 that allows the cap body 10 to be folded back into the tamper evidence band 20, and the band 40 is hooked along the circumferential direction of the cap body 10. Two are arranged while extending upward in the direction opposite to the opening direction so as to sandwich 11, and the band 40 is configured to rise in accordance with the opening of the cap body 10. Thereby, at the time of opening, the bridge 30 breaks and the tamper evidence band 20 becomes free, the band 40 rises, and then the band 40 rises until the fastening between the cap body 10 and the bottleneck portion is released, Then, the cap body 10 is folded back by the band 40 so as to be engaged with the tamper evident band 20. In addition, when the band 40 has a thin portion in the vicinity of the middle, the cap main body 10 easily falls to the outside of the opening of the bottle, and as a result, the cap main body 10 and the tamper evident band 20 are easily easily engaged. Become.
Further, the cap body 10 has a hook 11 having a recess 11 a that engages with a protrusion 20 a formed along the circumferential direction of the edge of the tamper evidence band 20, and the protrusion of the tamper evidence band 20. 20a and the recessed part 11a of the hook 11 are engaged so as to be inclined and held outside the opening of the bottle. As a result, the cap body 10 is held in a stable posture that does not interfere with drinking and is attached to the bottle in a stable state.
