Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To costlessly provide a synthetic resin cap with a hinge in which the cover can be easily opened or closed and it is not unnecessarily opened. SOLUTION: A projection 8 protruded to the outer peripheral direction from the peripheral edge of the cover 2 is formed at the opposite side face of a hinge 3. Then a hook 7 bent sideways at the inside of the projection 8 is formed and an elastic and flexible plate 12 is also formed to reach the top plate from the hook. And notche 9 vertically cut partly at the wall of the side face of the cover 2 are provided at both sides of the flexible part 12, in the cover 2. When the cover 2 is closed, a recess 6 formed on the top face 4 of the cap body 1 is fitted to the hook 7 and locked thereto and when it is opened, the recess is unlocked by transferring the projection 8 laterally. And hence, by only pushing the cover 2 to the top face 4, the cover can be easily closed and simultaneously locked and also by raising the cover upward while pressing the projection 8 sideways, the cover 2 can be easily opened.

Next, when the lid 2 is opened, the protrusion 8 is pressed in a direction opposite to the direction in which the hook 7 is bent, so that the flexible portion 12 bends and the hook 7 moves laterally.
Is disengaged from the recess 6 and the locked state is released. At this time, since the outer peripheral portion of the top surface 4 and the inner peripheral portion of the lid 2 are fitted and fixed, the cap body 1 and the lid 2 are not displaced by the pressing force. Further, the lid 2 is opened by rotating the hinge 3 as an axis by pulling it upward while pressing the protrusion 8 to the side. When the finger 8 is released, the protruding portion 8 that has moved laterally by the pressing is restored by the elasticity of the flexible portion 12, and returns to the original position.
