Description of the Related Art A cap is generally known, which is mounted on a mouth or neck of a container body by screwing or fitting the peripheral wall to each other by means of a means for overcoming the mutual protrusions. Containers equipped with these caps employ various methods for the purpose of expressing their unused state. For example, as a simple method, there is a method in which a seal piece is hung on the peripheral wall of the cap and the body of the container to adhere them. In this method, the seal piece must be removed in order to remove the cap, and therefore the presence of the seal piece clearly indicates that the container is unused.

単に行えるものである。As described above, according to the cap of the present invention, the pouring cylinder of the cap body is projected from the central window hole so that the mounting board is fitted and fixed on the top surface of the cap body top plate.
A sealing member is provided at the front edge of the mounting substrate, the strip having a lower end edge rupturablely connected via a rupture portion, which is erected upward, and an engagement projection protruding from the front surface of the lid peripheral wall. Since the strip was forcedly fitted into the engaging recess on the back side of the strip and was forced to fit forward while the lid was not openable, the strip would not open unless the strip was removed and the strip was removed. It is possible to exert a good virgin sealing function without a lid, and such a virgin sealing function can be easily provided by fitting the sealing member from above the cap body and then closing the lid body. is there.

に適した材質の選択を行える利点もある。Further, the virgin sealing function can be provided without a special device such as a shrink pack device, and the sealing member can be made of the same material as the cap body, so that a direct cap such as a shrink film is constructed. It can be formed without the need for a material different from the material used. On the other hand, if necessary, the cap body and lid body and the seal member can be made of different materials. Therefore, selection of a material suitable for each structure of the cap body and lid body and the seal member There is also an advantage that can be done.
