Description

  The present invention relates to an improvement of a capped container.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a container with a cap has been provided in which a liquid product such as a liquid detergent, a liquid bleach, or a softening finish is accommodated in a container body, and a cap that is detachably covered on the container body is used as a measuring cup.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 16, such a container with a cap is a measuring cap 101 provided with a container main body 100 for storing the content liquid and a measuring portion 101 a for measuring the content liquid poured out from the container main body 100. And a pouring cap 102 provided with a pouring nozzle 102a for pouring the content liquid into the measuring cap 101. The pouring cap 102 has an annular bottom wall 102b extending from the base end portion of the pouring nozzle 102a to the periphery, and an annular gap R 'between the pouring nozzle 102a and the periphery of the bottom wall 102b. A cylindrical peripheral wall 102c that rises upward, and a return port 102d that returns the content liquid that flows down toward the bottom wall 102b into the container body 100 are provided.

When washing is performed using such a liquid product, as shown in FIG. 17, the measuring cap 101 is removed from the dispensing cap 102, and the liquid content dispensed from the dispensing nozzle 102a is removed. After weighing with the weighing unit 101a of 101, an operation of putting it into the washing machine is performed.
For fitting between the measuring cap 101 and the dispensing cap 102, screwing by a screw method is often used. Thereby, the measurement cap 101 can be easily detached from the pouring cap 102, and good usability is obtained.

  On the other hand, when removing the measuring cap 101 from the dispensing cap 102 as described above, the container body 100 and the dispensing cap 102 are fitted together in order to prevent the dispensing cap 102 from being accidentally detached from the container body 100. A ratchet method, a screw method using a stopper together, or a driving method is used. This prevents the consumer from removing the liquid after it has been filled and fitted during production.

By the way, in such a liquid product contained in a container with a cap, from the viewpoint of effective use of resources, after the content liquid has been used up, a refill container simply purchased is purchased and the content liquid contained in the refill container is purchased. By refilling a container with a cap, the container with a cap is reused without being replaced.
In the above-described refilling operation of the container with a cap, for example, as shown in FIG. 18, the content liquid poured out from the refilling container 200 is poured from a gap R ′ between the pouring nozzle 102a and the peripheral wall 102c. The operation is performed. Thereby, the content liquid is replenished in the container main body 100 through the return port 102d.

  However, in the case of a conventional container with a cap, the pouring nozzle 102a becomes an obstacle during such a refilling operation, and the content liquid cannot be poured well using the above-described gap R '. There is a problem that it is difficult to refill.

  On the other hand, in order to make it easy to pour the content liquid into the container main body 100, the screw cap or the like is applied so that the pouring cap 102 can be attached to and detached from the container main body 100, and the container main body 100 with the pouring cap 102 removed is attached. It is conceivable to pour the contents from the mouth and neck. However, if the dispensing cap 102 is detachable from the container body 100, the dispensing cap 102 may be rotated together when the measuring cap 101 is removed. Further, if a tight screw is tightened so that the pouring cap 102 does not come off to prevent co-rotation, there arises a problem that the pouring cap 102 cannot be removed with bare hands during the refilling operation.

Further, for example, the following Patent Documents 1 and 2 are known as publicly known documents related to the liquid container.
Among these, Patent Document 1 discloses a cap portion having a spout formed at one end portion of an upper portion, a one-hand handle formed on a side facing the spout, and a liquid storage body engaged with the cap portion. A liquid storage container is described which is composed of a portion and is easy to pour the stored liquid.

  On the other hand, in Patent Document 2, the handle provided on the cap of the container is constituted by a support column and a finger rest extending from the support column, and the vertical cross-sectional shape of the handle is substantially T-shaped. A handle integrally formed with the cap is described.

However, none of Patent Documents 1 and 2 discloses or suggests solving the above-described problems, that is, providing a container with a cap that can be easily refilled with liquid.

  In addition, the handle is provided on the pouring cap, so when removing the pouring cap, you can hold the handle directly without touching the area around the pouring cap. Even if the contents are leaking out, the liquid can be easily refilled without getting your hands dirty.

  Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a container with a cap that can be easily refilled with liquid.

Hereinafter, a container with a cap to which the present invention is applied will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
(First embodiment)
First, a container 1 with a cap shown in FIG. 1 will be described as a first embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in FIG. 1, the container 1 with a cap includes, for example, a container body 2 in which a liquid detergent is stored as a liquid, and a dispensing cap that is detachably attached to the mouth and neck 2a of the container body 2 by screwing. 3, a measuring cap 4 that is detachably attached to the pouring cap 3 by screwing, and a handle 5 provided on the pouring cap 3.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the container body 2 is made of a synthetic resin material such as polyethylene resin, polypropylene resin, or polyester resin formed into a bottle shape by blow molding, and includes a bottom portion 2b and an outer periphery of the bottom portion 2b. 2c, a top surface 2d that closes the upper end of the body 2c, and a mouth-and-neck portion 2a provided on the top surface 2d. Further, the mouth-and-neck portion 2a is formed with a reduced diameter in a substantially cylindrical shape, and a screw portion 2e for attaching the dispensing cap 3 by screwing is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the mouth-and-neck portion 2a. Yes. Further, a stopper 2f is provided at the tip of the screw portion 2e. Thereby, since the rotation speed of the pouring cap 3 is regulated when the pouring cap 3 is attached to the container main body 2, the attachment position of the pouring cap 3 with respect to the container main body 2 can always be kept at the same position. it can. Moreover, although the opening / closing of the extraction | pouring cap 3 with respect to the container main body 2 is not specifically limited, It is preferable to open and close at 1/3 rotation or more and 1 rotation or less. When the handle is integrated with the dispensing cap, it is difficult to rotate the handle many times because the handle interferes. If it can be opened and closed within one rotation, the operability is simple and the refilling workability is good. In addition, the rotation speed and fastening torque until the extraction cap 3 is attached to the container main body 2 can be controlled by adjusting the formation length of the screw portion 2e and the formation position of the stopper 2f.

  Although the shape of the container body 2 is not particularly limited, a shape that is easy to hold and easy to perform a dispensing operation is preferable. Further, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, a concave portion 2 g facing the grip portion 20 described later of the trunk portion 2 c is formed so as to provide a gripping space S between the trunk portion 2 c and the grip portion 20. ing. Furthermore, the distance F between the body portion 2c and the grip portion 20 in the grip space S is preferably in the range of 20 mm to 40 mm. If the distance F is less than 20 mm, it is difficult for the user to put a finger between the container main body 2 and the handle 5, and the gripping property is inferior. On the other hand, if the distance F exceeds 40 mm, the operability during the weighing operation is inferior, which is not preferable. On the other hand, if it is in the said range, while a user can put a finger | toe without resistance between the container main body 2 and the handle 5, the distance of the holding part 20 and the extraction nozzle 6 is more than necessary. Therefore, the grip and operability can be improved.

  The opening diameter of the mouth-and-neck portion 2a is not particularly limited, but is formed in the range of 30 mm or more and 60 mm or less when the capacity of the container body is 500 mL or more and 1 L or less.

  The dispensing cap 3 is made of a synthetic resin material such as polyethylene resin or polypropylene resin. As shown in FIG. 3 as an example, the pouring cap 3 includes a pouring nozzle 6 that rises upward from the inside of the mouth-and-neck portion 2a, and an annular bottom wall that extends from the base end of the pouring nozzle 6 to the periphery. 7 and a cylindrical lower inner peripheral wall 8 that rises upward from the periphery of the bottom wall 7 with a gap R between the discharge nozzle 6 and the measuring cap 4 positioned above the lower inner peripheral wall 8. It has an upper inner peripheral wall 9 that is detachably mounted, and an outer peripheral wall 10 that is located outside the inner peripheral wall 9 and is detachably mounted on the mouth-neck portion 2a.

  Among these, the pouring nozzle 6 is provided so as to protrude above the opening peripheral edge of the pouring cap 3 at a substantially central position in the pouring cap 3. Further, the dispensing nozzle 6 has a shape in which the base end side opening 6a has a diameter larger than that of the tip end opening 6b, and the base end opening 6a extends from the center of the tip end opening 6b. The container body 2 is provided so as to be biased toward the inclined side.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3, the pouring nozzle 6 has substantially the same diameter from the base end portion to the midway portion in the length direction, and is gradually reduced in diameter from the midway portion to the tip end portion. Is formed.
Moreover, the tip of the pouring nozzle 6 is provided with a spout (pouring port) 6c.

The bottom wall 7 is provided to be inclined in a direction opposite to the direction in which the container body 2 is inclined. And the lower end part of this bottom wall 7 forms the liquid reservoir part 7a for collect | recovering the liquid detergent adhering to the extraction nozzle 6 or the measurement cap 4. FIG. The liquid reservoir 7 a is provided with a return port 11 for returning the liquid detergent accumulated in the liquid reservoir 7 a into the container body 2. The return port 11 is for returning the liquid detergent flowing down toward the bottom wall 7 into the container body 2, and is a through hole communicating with the inside of the container body 2. The return port 11 is located on the side opposite to the side on which the container body 2 is inclined, and has a predetermined width (5 mm to 15 mm) and a predetermined angle range (5 ° to 90 °) around the pouring nozzle 6. It is formed in a substantially arc shape. By having such a shape, the return port 11 can quickly return the liquid detergent to the inside of the container body 2.
In addition, if the return port 11 is a side opposite to the side which inclines the container main body 2, it may be provided in the pouring nozzle 6, the bottom wall 7, or the lower inner peripheral wall 8, or may be provided between them. it can.

  The lower inner peripheral wall 8 is a portion that is inserted inside the mouth-and-neck portion 2a, and is provided so as to surround the periphery of the dispensing nozzle 6 with an annular gap R therebetween. The upper inner peripheral wall 9 is formed in a substantially cylindrical shape from the upper end portion of the lower inner peripheral wall 8 via the stepped portion 12 and further upward from the neck portion 2a. Further, on the outer peripheral surface of the upper inner peripheral wall 9, a screw portion 9a for making the measuring cap 4 detachable by screwing is formed.

  The outer peripheral wall 10 is suspended in a substantially cylindrical shape downward via a flange portion 13 positioned below the screw portion 9 a of the upper inner peripheral wall 9. Further, on the inner peripheral surface of the outer peripheral wall 10, a screw portion 10a that is screwed into the screw portion 2e of the mouth-and-neck portion 2a described above is formed. Thereby, the pouring cap 3 can be detachably attached to the mouth-neck portion 2a of the container body 2.

  The measuring cap 4 is made of a synthetic resin material such as polyethylene resin or polypropylene resin. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the measuring cap 4 has a measuring unit 4 a that measures the liquid detergent removed from the pouring cap 3 and poured out from the pouring nozzle 5.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3, the measuring cap 4 includes a top plate portion 14 that constitutes a bottom surface portion of the weighing portion 4 a, an inner cylinder portion 15 that constitutes a side surface portion of the weighing portion 4 a, and an inner cylinder portion. 15 and an outer cylinder portion 16 which is located outside of 15 and is detachably attached to the extraction cap 3.

  Among these, the top plate part 14 is formed integrally with the inner cylinder part 15 and closes the upper surface part of the inner cylinder part 15. The inner cylinder portion 15 is suspended from the lower surface of the top plate portion 14 so as to surround the periphery of the pouring nozzle 5. The outer cylinder portion 16 is suspended in a substantially cylindrical shape downward via a flange portion 17 located in the middle of the outer peripheral surface of the inner cylinder portion 15. Further, on the inner peripheral surface of the outer cylinder portion 16, a screw portion 16a that is screwed into the screw portion 9a of the upper inner peripheral wall 9 described above is formed. Thereby, the measuring cap 4 can be detachably put on the dispensing cap 3.

  The measuring cap 4 is preferably transparent in order to facilitate measurement by the measuring unit 4a, and a scale (not shown) for capacity display is provided on the side surface of the inner cylinder unit 15. ing. In addition, as shown in FIG. 2, a plurality of vertical grooves 18 that prevent slipping when the measuring cap 4 is rotated are provided on the outer peripheral surface of the outer cylinder portion 16 over the entire circumference.

  The handle 5 is made of a synthetic resin material such as polyethylene resin or polypropylene resin, and is formed integrally with the pouring cap 3. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5A, the handle 5 includes an extension portion 19 extending in a direction substantially perpendicular to the central axis direction of the dispensing cap 3, and extends downward from the end portion of the extension portion 19. It is comprised from the existing holding part 20.

  The extending portion 19 is formed so as to extend in a rod shape outside the pouring cap 3. In addition, the expansion | extension part 19 may incline upwards not only in a horizontal direction, but may incline downward. Thereby, the intensity | strength of the handle 5 improves and it can open and close the extraction | pouring cap 3 like a wrench.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 4, it is preferable that the distance W of a central axis and a termination | terminus part (end part) is 15 mm or more and 100 mm or less. If it is less than 15 mm, the difference between the cap diameter of the cap of the outer peripheral wall 10 described above is small, so there is a big difference between removing the dispensing cap 3 directly and removing the dispensing cap 3 with the handle 5. It is not preferable because it is not felt. On the other hand, if it exceeds 100 mm, the distance between the spout 6 c and the grip portion 20 becomes longer, which is not preferable because the ease of liquid pouring is impaired. On the other hand, the above range is preferable because the cap can be opened with a small force as compared with the case where the pouring cap 3 is directly removed, and the ease of pouring the liquid can be maintained.

  As shown in FIG. 5A, the grip portion 20 is formed to extend from the terminal end portion (end portion) of the extending portion 19 substantially vertically downward. Further, as shown in FIG. 5 (c), the gripping part 20 extends from the end part of the extension part 19 to the side opposite to the body part 2 c of the container body 2, and is 0 ° or more 30 ° with respect to the central axis of the dispensing cap 3. It is preferably formed so as to have an inclination angle of less than or equal to °. If the tilt angle is not within the above range, the user must twist the wrist to pour the liquid, which is not preferable because the operability is impaired. On the other hand, when it is within the above range, the container is easily tilted during the liquid pouring operation, which is preferable for improving the operability.

  The shape of the grip part 20 is not particularly limited, and may be a shape that is easy to grip, such as a flat plate shape or a round bar shape. Moreover, as shown in FIG. 4, it is preferable that the length L of the holding | grip part 20 is the range of 70 mm or more and 120 mm or less. If the length L of the grip portion 20 is not within the above range, it is difficult to grip the grip portion 20, which is not preferable. On the other hand, when it is within the above range, it is preferable because the grasping portion 20 is easily grasped, so that the liquid dispensing operation becomes easy and the dispensing cap 3 can be easily detached.

  The opening torque (co-rotation prevention torque) T1 of the dispensing cap 3 with respect to the container body 2 when the dispensing cap 3 is directly grasped and removed from the container body 2 is not particularly limited. 150 (N · s) or more and 350 (N · s) or less, and more preferably 200 (N · s) or more and 300 (N · s) or less. Moreover, it is necessary to be larger than the opening torque T2 of the measuring cap 4 with respect to the dispensing cap 3. When the opening torque T1 is less than 150 (N · s) and smaller than the opening torque T2, when the user removes the measuring cap 4 without holding the handle 5, the opening torque T1 is Since the output cap rotates together, it is not preferable. On the other hand, if the opening torque T1 exceeds 350 (N · s), a large force is required to remove the pouring cap 3 from the container body 2. If the user is a woman, the handle 5 is poured out. Even if the cap 3 is to be removed, it is difficult to open the cap 3, which is not preferable. On the other hand, when the opening torque T1 is in the above range and larger than the opening torque T2, even if the user removes the measuring cap 4 without holding the handle 5, the measuring cap 4 At the same time, the pouring cap does not rotate together, and even if the user is a woman, holding the handle 5 can remove the pouring cap 3 from the container body 2 with a relatively small force, which is preferable.

  The opening torque T2 of the measuring cap 4 with respect to the dispensing cap 3 is not particularly limited, but is preferably in the range of 80 (N · s) to 150 (N · s), and is preferably 100 (N · s). More preferably, it is in the range of s) to 130 (N · s). Moreover, it is necessary to be smaller than the opening torque (corotation prevention torque) T1 of the dispensing cap 3 with respect to the container body 2 described above. If the opening torque T2 is less than 80 (N · s), the measuring cap 4 may come off from the dispensing cap 3 and the liquid detergent may spill around. On the other hand, when the opening torque T2 exceeds 150 (N · s) and is larger than the opening torque T1, a large force is required to remove the measuring cap 4 from the dispensing cap 3, and the user is a female. In this case, handling is difficult, and the dispensing cap 3 may rotate together with the measuring cap 4, which is not preferable. On the other hand, when the opening torque T2 is in the above range and smaller than the opening torque T1, the measuring cap 4 is used even when the user removes the measuring cap 4 without holding the handle 5. In addition, the dispensing cap does not rotate together, which is preferable because the measuring cap 4 can be removed from the dispensing cap with a relatively small force even when the user is a woman.

When performing washing or the like using the container 1 with a cap as described above, the handle 5 is held with one hand, the measuring cap 4 is detached from the dispensing cap 3 with the other hand, and the container body 2 is tilted. After the liquid detergent poured out from the dispensing nozzle 6 is measured by the measuring unit 4a of the measuring cap 4, an operation is performed such that the liquid detergent is put into the washing machine.
When refilling the liquid detergent, the container body 2 is grasped with one hand, the handle 5 is grasped with the other hand, the dispensing cap 3 is detached from the container body 2, and the neck portion 2a of the container body 2 is removed. The liquid detergent accommodated in the refill container is refilled into the container 1 with a cap.

  By the way, since the container 1 with a cap to which the present invention is applied has the extraction cap 3 that is detachably attached to the mouth neck 2a of the container main body 2 by screwing, the extraction cap 3 is attached to the container main body 2. The liquid can be easily refilled from the mouth-and-neck portion 2a of the container body 2 by being removed from the container body 2. Moreover, since the handle 5 is provided in the pouring cap 3, the handle can be grasped with one hand and the measuring cap can be removed with the other hand. Co-rotation can be prevented. Furthermore, since the handle 5 is provided on the pouring cap 3, when removing the pouring cap, the gripping cap is not directly touched by holding the handle. Can be refilled.

Further, since the handle 5 has the extending portion 19 extending in the lateral direction and the central axis direction of the pouring cap 3, the handle 5 is opened when the pouring cap 3 is removed from the container body 2. Since the stopper torque is smaller than the opening torque when the holder cap 3 is directly held and removed from the container body 2, the outlet cap 3 can be removed from the container body 2 with a smaller force. Moreover, since the space | gap where a fingertip enters between the handle 5 and the container main body 2 is ensured, the handle 5 can be easily grasped.
Moreover, since the handle is formed integrally with the dispensing cap, even if the liquid is difficult to be refilled, the dispensing cap 3 can be replaced with another refillable container body 2 that is newly packaged together with the handle 5. Therefore, the liquid can be refilled together with the container body.

In addition, since the distance W between the central axis and the end is 15 mm or more, the opening torque of the pouring cap 3 with respect to the container body 2 when removing the pouring cap 3 from the container body 2 with the handle 5 is ensured. Can be small. Moreover, since the distance W between the central axis and the end is 100 mm or less, the ease of pouring when performing the liquid pouring operation can be maintained.
Further, since the portion 2g of the body portion 2c facing the grip portion 20 forms a recess so as to provide a gripping space S between the body portion 2c and the grip portion 20, the handle 5 and the container body The width of the container body 2 in the handle direction can be reduced while securing a gap for the fingertip to enter between the two.
In addition, since the grip 20 is formed on the side opposite to the body 2c from the end so as to have an inclination angle of 0 ° or more and 30 ° or less with respect to the central axis, the container does not twist the wrist greatly. The operability is improved.

Further, since the length L of the gripping part is 70 mm or more and 120 mm or less, the gripping part 20 can be reliably gripped when the dispensing cap 3 is removed and the liquid is poured out, so that the operability is improved.
In addition, since the opening torque (corotation prevention torque) T1 of the dispensing cap 3 with respect to the container body 2 is larger than the opening torque T2 of the measuring cap 4 with respect to the dispensing cap 3, the measuring cap 4 is not held. Even when the is removed from the dispensing cap 3, the dispensing cap 3 can be prevented from rotating together.

  As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide the capped container 1 in which the liquid can be easily refilled.

The present invention is not necessarily limited to that of the first embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
For example, as in the case of the handle 35 shown in FIG. 6, in order to improve the usability when gripping, the continuous portion of the extending portion 19 and the gripping portion 20 described above is elongated more gently than the case shown in FIG. 1. The part 36 and the gripping part 37 can also be used. In addition, in the following description, while it abbreviate | omits description about the site | part equivalent to the said container 1 with a cap, it shall attach | subject the same code | symbol in drawing.

  The handle 5 is formed integrally with the dispensing cap 3, but is not limited to such a configuration. For example, as shown in FIG. However, the structure formed separately from the pouring cap 43 may be used. As shown in FIG. 7B, the handle 45 has a fitting convex portion 45a, and is fitted into a fitting concave portion 43a provided on the outer peripheral wall 10 of the dispensing cap 43. 43 and the handle 45 can be integrated. Thereby, since the handle 45 and the extraction cap 43 are separate bodies, the handle 45 can be reused, so that the entire manufacturing cost can be suppressed.

  Further, the shape of the elongated portion 19 as shown in FIG. 5B is an example, and the shape of the proximal end portion of the elongated portion 46 may be changed to, for example, FIG. As shown to a), it is also possible to make it change to a rectangular plate shape by combining only with a part of the peripheral wall of the outer peripheral wall 10 of the extraction cap 3.

  Further, in the present invention, in addition to the container body 1 described above, as shown in FIG. 8, it is also possible to form a container body 52 having a shape in which a recess 52a is cut out on the side surface facing the handle 5 of a substantially rectangular parallelepiped. is there.

(Second Embodiment)
Next, a container with a cap shown as a second embodiment of the present invention will be described.
The container with a cap has the same configuration as that of the container 1 with a cap, except that it includes an extraction cap 60 with a handle as shown in FIG. 9 instead of the extraction cap 3.

  Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the pouring cap 60 includes a cap main body 61 and a handle member 62 formed separately from the cap main body 61.

  Among these, the cap main body 61 has a configuration in which the handle 5 formed integrally with the pouring cap 3 is formed separately from the pouring cap 3 as shown in FIGS. 10 and 11A. Accordingly, the description of the same part as the above-described pouring cap 3 is omitted, and the same reference numerals are given in the drawings as necessary.

  Further, apart from the configuration of the pouring cap 3, a plurality of engaging convex portions 63 are provided on the outer peripheral portion of the cap main body 61 side by side in the circumferential direction. The plurality of engaging protrusions 63 are formed so as to protrude from the outer peripheral surface of the outer peripheral wall 10 at a height substantially equal to the thickness of a fitting cylinder portion 64 described later, and have a certain width and the outer peripheral wall 10. It has a shape protruding linearly from the lower end side to the middle part in the vertical direction.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 10 and 11B, the handle member 62 is fitted on the fitting cylinder part 64 fitted to the outer peripheral part of the cap body 61 and on the side surface of the fitting cylinder part 64. It has the grip part 65 formed integrally.

  The fitting cylinder portion 64 has an inner shape corresponding to the outer shape of the outer peripheral wall 10 of the cap body 61 and is formed in a substantially cylindrical shape. Further, the fitting cylinder portion 64 is provided with a plurality of slits 66 arranged in the circumferential direction. The plurality of slits 66 have a shape corresponding to the plurality of engaging convex portions 63, have a certain width, and are straight from the lower end side of the fitting tube portion 64 to the middle in the vertical direction. It has a shape cut out into a shape. By forming the plurality of slits 64, a plurality of elastic pieces 67 that are elastically deformable in the radial direction of the fitting cylinder portion 64 are formed between the slits 64.

  Further, a locking claw 68 that is locked to the lower end portion of the outer peripheral wall 10 is provided at the lower end portions of the elastic pieces 67. The locking claw 68 is formed so as to protrude toward the inner side of the fitting cylinder part 64 and is inclined so that the lower surface is inclined toward the inner side in order to make it easier to fit the cap body 61 inside the fitting cylinder part 64. It is a surface (not shown).

  The gripping portion 65 is a portion corresponding to the handle 5 and has a shape that extends from the side surface portion of the fitting tube portion 64 and that the tip end portion is bent downward. The gripping portion 65 can be implemented by changing its shape as appropriate, similarly to the handle 5 described above.

  In the pouring cap 60 having the above-described configuration, as shown in FIGS. 9, 10 and 11 (c), when the cap body 61 is attached to the mouth-neck portion 2a of the container main body 2, Each engaging projection 63 is engaged with each slit 66 while aligning the handle member 62 with the cap body 61 so that the gripping portion 65 of the handle member 62 is positioned on the side opposite to the side on which the container body 2 is inclined. The outer peripheral wall 10 of the cap main body 61 is fitted inside the fitting cylinder portion 64 so as to be fitted. Then, the locking claw 68 of each elastic piece 67 is locked to the lower end portion of the outer peripheral wall 10. Thereby, in the pouring cap 60, the cap main body 61 and the handle member 62 can be integrated.

  In this case, since the cap body 61 and the handle member 62 are formed separately as in the configuration shown in FIG. 7, the cap body 61 and the handle member 62 can be manufactured separately. It is possible to reduce the manufacturing cost when manufacturing the dispensing cap 60.

  Further, in a container with a cap provided with such a dispensing cap 60, after the container body 2 is filled with a liquid detergent, the cap body 61 is attached to the mouth-neck portion 2a of the container body 2 in a normal capping process. Later, the handle member 62 can be easily attached to the cap body 61 by the above-described external fitting. Therefore, in this case, the capping process after filling the container body 2 with the liquid detergent can be made easier than the capped container 1 having the handle 5 formed integrally with the dispensing cap 3. It is.

  Further, in the pouring cap 60, it is possible to prevent the handle member 62 from rotating in the circumferential direction with respect to the cap body 61 due to the engagement between the slits 66 and the engagement protrusions 63. In the above-mentioned pouring cap 60, since each slit 66 and each engagement convex part 63 are engaged flush with each other, the appearance on the appearance is not impaired.

In the present invention, various changes can be made in the dispensing cap 60.
For example, as in a dispensing cap 60A shown in FIGS. 12A to 12C, a grip having a plurality of engaging recesses 69 arranged in the circumferential direction in the fitting cylinder portion 64 instead of the slit 66. It is good also as a structure provided with member 62A. Specifically, each of the plurality of engaging recesses 69 has a certain width and has a groove shape in which the inside of the fitting tube portion 64 is linearly cut from the lower end side to the middle portion in the vertical direction. ing.

  On the other hand, a plurality of engaging convex portions 63A are provided side by side in the circumferential direction on the outer peripheral portion of the cap main body 61A corresponding thereto. The plurality of engaging protrusions 63A are formed so as to protrude from the outer peripheral surface of the outer peripheral wall 10 at a height that substantially matches the depth of the engaging recess 69, and have a width that substantially matches the engaging recess 69. The wall 10 has a shape protruding linearly from the lower end side to the middle part in the vertical direction.

  In the pouring cap 60A, the gripping member 62A is aligned with the cap main body 61A, and the engaging convex portions 63A are engaged with the engaging concave portions 69 so that the engaging convex portions 63A are engaged with each other. The outer peripheral wall 10 of the cap body 61A is fitted. Then, the locking claw 68 is locked to the lower end portion of the outer peripheral wall 10. Thereby, in the pouring cap 60A, it is possible to integrate the cap main body 61A and the handle member 62A.

  Furthermore, like the extraction cap 60B shown in FIGS. 13A to 13C, a handle member 62B in which a plurality of slits 66 and engagement recesses 69 are provided in the circumferential direction in the fitting cylinder portion 64; Correspondingly, a configuration may be adopted in which a plurality of engaging protrusions 63, 63A are provided on the outer peripheral surface of the outer peripheral wall 10 in a circumferential direction.

  Also in this case, while aligning the handle member 62B with respect to the cap body 61B, the engagement protrusions 63 and 63A are engaged with the slits 66 and the engagement recesses 69 so that the engagement protrusions 63 and 63A are engaged with each other. The outer peripheral wall 10 of the cap body 61B is fitted. Then, the locking claw 68 is locked to the lower end portion of the outer peripheral wall 10. Thereby, in the extraction | pouring cap 60B, it is possible to integrate the cap main body 61B and the handle member 62B.

  In the present invention, it is sufficient that at least one or two or more such slits 66 or engaging recesses 69 are provided in the fitting cylinder portion 64, and the arrangement and number thereof are changed as appropriate. Is possible.

  Further, like the extraction cap 60C shown in FIG. 14, the slit 66 or the engagement recess 69 may have a shape in which the width gradually decreases from the lower end toward the upper end. Corresponding to this, the engagement convex portions 63 and 63A are also shaped so that the width gradually decreases from the lower end toward the upper end. In this case, when the outer peripheral wall 10 of the cap body 61 is fitted inside the fitting cylinder portion 64, the engagement convex portions 63 and 63A can be easily engaged with the slits 66 or the engagement concave portions 69. Is possible.

  Moreover, like the extraction cap 60D shown in FIG. 15, among the above-mentioned locking claws 68, the locking claw 68A provided on the gripping portion 65 side inclines the container body 2 on the opposite side, that is, at the time of dispensing. It is good also as a structure which has the shape (W1> W2) which protruded inward rather than the latching claw 68B provided in the side. In this case, when the outer peripheral wall 10 of the cap main body 61 is fitted inside the fitting cylinder portion 64, the container can be smoothly fitted, and after being fitted, a container in which the liquid detergent is accommodated. When the locking claw 68A on the side to which a load is applied when the body 2 is tilted firmly holds the locking state, it is possible to prevent the handle member 62 from falling off the cap body 61.

  Hereinafter, the effects of the present invention will be made clearer by examples. The present invention is not limited to the following examples.

<Example>
As an example, a container with a cap having a handle to which the present invention was applied was manufactured.
The opening diameter of the mouth and neck of the container body was 50 mm. Further, a stopper was formed on the screw portion of the mouth and neck for positioning the dispensing cap.
The opening diameter of the measuring cap was formed to be 30 to 60 mm.
As shown in FIG. 4, the handle was formed to have a length W = 40 to 120 mm from the central axis of the extraction cap to the end of the extended portion. Moreover, the inclination angle with respect to the central axis of the gripping part was formed at 15 ° as shown in FIG.

<Comparative example>
As a comparative example, a capped container having no handle was manufactured.
The opening diameter of the mouth and neck of the container body was 50 mm. Further, a stopper was formed on the screw portion of the mouth and neck for positioning the dispensing cap.
The opening diameter of the measuring cap was 50 mm.
As described above, the comparative example has the same configuration as the example except that it does not have a handle.

<Evaluation method>
The opening torque T1 of the pouring cap with respect to the container body and the opening torque T2 of the measuring cap with respect to the pouring cap were measured.
The opening torque T1 was measured after tightening until the pouring cap reached a predetermined position. In Examples, the cap was opened with a handle, and in the comparative example, the cap was opened with a pouring cap.
The opening torque T2 was measured after tightening the measuring cap until it reached a certain position. In the examples, the handle was grasped with one hand, the measuring cap was opened with the other hand, and in the comparative example, the container body was grasped with one hand, and the measuring cap was opened with the other hand.
In addition, the measurement of the opening torque was performed by using a DIGITAL TORQUE METER (model number: 2TME450CN) manufactured by TONICHI, and using an average value of three measurements as a measurement result.

<Evaluation results>
The measurement results are shown in Table 1. In the examples and comparative examples, since the opening torque T1 is larger than the opening torque T2, even when the dispensing cap can be attached to and detached from the container body, it rotates together when the measuring cap is removed. There was no.
Further, since the opening torque T1 of the embodiment is smaller than that of the comparative example, opening the pouring cap by holding the handle opens the plug with less force than opening the pouring cap directly. Made possible.
