機能を持つたキヤツプを用いることが提唱されて
いる。 Generally, when handling chemicals or other dangerous substances, it is necessary to prevent infants and small children from handling them even if there is a warning on the container because they cannot understand the dangers, but it is necessary to manage them thoroughly. Even if you do so, there is a high risk of accidental ingestion or spillage, leading to unforeseen accidents.Containers containing these toxic substances are difficult to open so that even if adults can open them, children cannot. It has been proposed to use caps with additional safety features.

子供に開けられないようにするあまり、大人によ
る着脱操作も比較的煩雑で取扱上問題があつた
し、構造が複雑で二重キヤツプのためコスト的に
も高いなどの、まだ改善すべき点があつた。 Conventionally, most safety caps of this type have two caps, an inner cap and an outer cap, and when the cap is closed, the inner cap is also turned by turning the outer cap clockwise. When opening the cap, simply turning the outer cap will cause the outer cap to rotate freely because the engaging stepped portions of the inner and outer caps are in the form of a ratchet, making it impossible to open the cap. Push the outer cap from a certain direction to engage the inner and outer caps. This allows the outer cap to rotate so that the inner cap also rotates. This type has a complex structure,
There are still issues that need to be improved, such as making it difficult for children to open the cap, making it relatively complicated for adults to put it on and take it off, which caused handling problems, and the structure was complicated and the double cap was expensive. It was hot.

本考案は、これら従来の欠点を適確に除去し、

している。 In the embodiment, the stepped portion 3' has, for example, four holes spaced at 90° intervals.
A plurality of abutment pieces 8 are provided in a protruding manner, and each of the corresponding pieces 8 has a ridge line in the radial direction, and is continuous with the surface of the step portion 3' in a chevron-like manner on an inclined surface. The cap 6 fitted into the mouth 3 of the container 1 is a hollow cylinder having an upper end surface and an outer diameter that gradually increases toward the opening side, and at least a part of the circumferential surface is deformed by pressure. When the inner surface of the upper end is in contact with the discharge port 2 and no pressure deformation is applied to the deformation part 7, the opening edge of the deformation part 7 is on the outside of the contact piece 8 and the contact part 8 It has a depth and inner diameter that are lower than the height.

いる。 Furthermore, an inner cylinder 9 is installed concentrically on the inner surface of the upper end of the cap 6, and this inner cylinder 9 is a hollow cylinder.
A ring-shaped convex portion 5 consisting of a radially protruding ridge is formed on the entire inner circumference of the opening end.
With the inner surface of the upper end of the cap 6 in contact with the discharge port 2, the mouth part 3 is fitted into the inner cylinder 9, and the locking part 4 and the convex part 5 are removably locked and fitted between the cap 6 and the mouth part 3. The inner cylinder 9 has a depth and an inner diameter.

在させて賦形してある。 The deformation portion 7 is formed by two slits 10, 10 cut in the axial direction on the circumferential surface of the cap 6 at an appropriate interval (an interval that allows insertion between the pieces 8, 8).
In this embodiment, four tongue-shaped portions are formed at 90° intervals corresponding to the abutting portions 8. This deformed part 7 is made of a thicker part than the other parts of the circumferential side of the cap, and the end of the deformed part 7 is attached to the contact piece 8 with the line connecting the cutting tips of the slits 10, 10 as an axis. It is made swingable and deformable up to the contact position, and at least the deformable portion 7 is shaped using an elastic member or with a spring interposed so as not to contact the contact piece 8 in a state where no pressure deformation is applied.

示す表示部である。 In the figure, reference numeral 13 denotes a seal lip provided on the inner surface of the upper end of the cap 6, which can be fitted into the discharge port 2.
Reference numeral 14 denotes a display section between the pieces 8, 8, which shows the deformable region of the deformable portion 7.

し、回転させても空廻りするのみである。 Therefore, when the cap 6 is attached to the mouth portion 3, it is only necessary to insert it in the axial direction, and the convex portion 5 is attached to the guide surface 4'.
It crosses over and engages with the locking part 4, and the discharge port 2 is properly closed. In this state, the cap 6 is prevented from coming off in the axial direction because it is not possible to effectively apply enough force to release the engagement between the locking part 4 and the convex part 5, and even if it is rotated, it will only spin around idle. be.

止部４と凸部５の係合は解除される。 When removing the cap 6, use the display section 14 as a guide, place the deformed part 7 between the pieces 8 and 8, press the deformed part 7 inward, and then rotate it. ride along. Since the deformed portion 7 is strongly formed as a thick wall portion, the cap 6 separates from the container 1 in the axial direction without being defeated by the deformed portion 7 against the fitting strength of the locking portions 4 and 5, and is locked. The engagement between the portion 4 and the convex portion 5 is released.

ないよう、考慮することが好ましい。 In the present invention, although the engagement between the locking part 4 and the convex part 5 is ultimately carried out by movement in the axial direction, attention is paid to how force can be effectively exerted on the inner cylinder 9. In the state shown in Figures 4 and 5, the shape of the cap was taken into consideration so that simply pulling the cap in the axial direction would require a large amount of force to disengage, and in particular, the deformed part in Figure 5 is difficult to pull out. It is preferable to take this into account so that it does not become a finger-locking surface on which force can be effectively applied.

ツプ６を単に軸方向に引き抜くだけでは開蓋が困

となるように構成することが肝要である。 That is, in the state shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, it is difficult to open the cap 6 by simply pulling it out in the axial direction, and it is only possible to open the cap 6 by rotating it in the state shown in FIG. It is important to configure the lid so that it can be opened easily.

ることができるようにすることもできる。 The convex portion 5 may not be provided over the entire circumference, but may be provided on a portion thereof. The contact piece 8 and the deformation portion 7 may be one or more, and there is no need to provide the same number of both. If the contact piece 8 is formed of a protrusion having an inclined surface on the surface facing the deformation part 7, the deformation part 7 can be made to face the contact part 8 part, and then the fitting part can be engaged by simply pushing it inward so as to ride on it. You can also cancel the suspension. In the case where the inclined surface of the piece 8 is formed in the direction in which the deformed portion 7 rides only after rotation, a surface that cannot be climbed on is formed on the opposite side of the surface that can be climbed on,
It is also possible to disengage the fitting portion only by rotating in one direction.

This is an example in which the hinge part 11 is formed by a thin part instead of one of the slits 10, and the triangular deformed part 7
That is.

スリツト１０、ヒンジ部１１を形成せずに連続
状態下に肉薄部で区画形成したりすることもで
き、キヤツプ６周側面に当片８に乗り上げ可能の
変形部位７があれば形態は選ぶものではない。 Instead of forming the slit 10 and the hinge part 11, it is also possible to form sections with thin parts in a continuous state, and as long as there is a deformed part 7 on the circumferential side of the cap 6 that can ride on the contact piece 8, the form is not a matter of choice. do not have.

むものである。 The examples shown in FIGS. 7 and 8 are examples in which a hook member 7' that can be freely moved toward and away from the contact piece 8 is inserted between the circumferential side of the cap 6 and the inner cylinder 9. The hanging member 7' has a part that is locked to the upper end surface of the cap and a hanging part that approaches and separates from the contact piece 8, and the hanging part is inserted through a hole bored in the upper end surface of the cap so that it can be moved up and down on the cap 6. It is in charge. Therefore, when opening the cap, the hook member 7' and the cap 6 are clamped so that they move together or are locked with a locking machine, and then rotated to disengage the fitting portion. Note that in this specification, the opening 3 refers to the insertion/insertion portion of the cap 6, that is, the portion relative to the cap 6. Therefore, the locking fitting portion 4 may be provided on the main body of the container 1. It includes.

プとして大なる効果を有するものである。 With this invention, when opening the cap, it is not possible to open the cap only by pulling out or rotating the cap in the axial direction.
Children do not have the knowledge to combine both pressing and rotation operations, and there are positional constraints that push and deform the elastic member of the cap, and it cannot be operated unless the force exceeds the deformation force. It requires pressing force and is highly effective as a safety cap that prevents it from being opened easily.
