This was done as a method of selling container caps, containers with caps, and beverages in containers.The feature of the container cap is that the cap body 1 is formed so that the outer diameter is smaller than the outer diameter of the body part. In a container cap having a mounting part 3 formed so as to be mounted on the upper part of the container 5, a supporting part 8 is provided on a side of the mounting part 3, and the supporting part 8 mounts another cap body 1. In addition, when another container 5 having the cap body 1 fitted on the upper side of the overturned container 5 is stacked in a plurality of stages, each adjacent container 5
It is formed so that the body part of 5 and each support part 8 abut each other and support the upper container 5.

The container-equipped beverage 10 attached to the attachment portion 3 of the container cap 18 having the support portion 8 projecting laterally is arranged in a plurality of stages so that the body portion of the adjacent container 5 and the support portion 8 come into contact with each other. Stacked and stored in the storage unit 16 formed in the vending machine,
A plurality of container-containing beverages 10 stacked in the storage section 16,
It is to take out one by one from the outlet 17 provided in the vending machine and sell it.

In the container cap, a supporting part 8 is provided on the side of the mounting part 3 so that the cap body 1 is attached and the container body 5 is fitted and the other container 5 fitted with the cap body 1 is attached to the upper side of the container 5. When stacked in multiple stages, the support parts 8 were formed so that the body parts of the adjacent containers 5 and the support parts 8 abut each other and the upper container 5 was supported, so that the containers 5 were rolled over in multiple stages. When stacked, the body parts of the adjacent containers 5 come into contact with each other, and the support parts 8 also come into contact with each other to support the upper container 5.

A cap provided with a supporting portion 8 projecting laterally from the upper portion of the container 5.
When the beverage 10 with a container attached to the attachment portion 3 of 18 is stacked in multiple stages so that the body portion of the adjacent container 5 and the support portion 8 come into contact with each other, and sequentially taken out from the takeout opening 17 for sale, Since the container 5 is supported by the body part of each adjacent container 5 and the support part 8 of the cap 18 attached to each container 5, for example, the outer diameter of the body part is not constant, and part of the body part protrudes to the side. Even if the beverage is a container filled with various beverages, the container 5 that has collapsed in the vending machine does not fall into the outlet 17 because there is no risk of it being securely stacked in the storage unit 16 of the vending machine. It can be sold at vending machines without any problems, without any clogging.

As shown in (a), in the case of the container 5 in which the bottom surface portion 5b of the container 5 has the largest diameter, the bottom surface portion 5b corresponds to the maximum diameter portion of the body portion. The cap body 1 in which the diameters of the support portions 8 are formed to be substantially the same is attached. Further, for example, as shown in FIG. 6, when a leg portion 19 or the like is formed in the lower portion of the container 5 and the outer diameter of the leg portion 19 is formed to be the maximum outer diameter of the entire container 5, It suffices that the cap body 1 on which the supporting portion 8 having substantially the same size as the outer diameter of the leg portion 19 is formed is attached to the upper portion of the container 5,
The shape of the body of the container 5 is not limited to the above embodiment.
