Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a refilling liquid pouring stopper which is used by being attached to the mouth and neck of a large container containing a liquid such as a liquid beverage and a liquid seasoning.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Recently, a horizontal tube is continuously provided on a top surface of a stopper body which is fitted in a watertight manner to a neck portion of a container body through a support tube so that the inside of the horizontal tube is communicated with a rear end. The intermediate portion of the nozzle that is closed is fitted in a watertight manner so as to be freely rotatable and incapable of slipping out. A liquid hole is provided in which a window hole to be closed by rotation is provided at a proper position, and a handle for protruding the nozzle in both the opening direction and the closing direction is provided at the rear end of the exposed nozzle. There is a stopper. That is, the nozzle is also used as a cock, and the stopper body is fitted into the mouth and neck of the container body containing the liquid, and the nozzle is rotated by operating the handle each time the liquid in the container body is poured out. To move
The flow path is opened and closed.

[0003]

This type of liquid pouring plug is
Usually, it is attached to the mouth and neck of a large container containing liquid,
Although it is used as a part of the packaging means, in this case, an unexpected external force is applied to the handle to rotate the nozzle, the flow channel may open, and the liquid contained in the container may leak. In order to prevent this, there is one equipped with a stopper to prevent rotation of the handle, but the stopper is provided as an independent member and is removed from the liquid pouring stopper when the stopper is opened. Since it is troublesome to reattach the stopper, the stopper in this case is only used when transporting the container and the like, and is not used when the liquid pouring stopper is used, and is lost. Therefore, the present invention is
The stopper body is always equipped with locking means to prevent rotation of the handle,
The locking means prevents the handle and the nozzle from unintentionally rotating even when the stopper is not opened and prevents the liquid from leaking.
It is also an object of the present invention to eliminate the inconvenience such as loss of the stopper, facilitate the operation and handling, and provide the device with a simple structure at a low cost.

A window hole 5 which is opened and closed by turning to the other is formed at a proper position, and the nozzle is turned at the rear end of the nozzle 4 which is exposed, in both directions of opening and closing. In a liquid pouring plug having a handle 6 projecting, a locking means 7 for locking the handle 6 in the closed state can be engaged / disengaged with the handle 6 at an appropriate position on the upper surface of the plug body 1. The lock means 7 is equipped with
In the vicinity of the handle 6, a standing piece 8 is projected from an appropriate place on the upper surface of the stopper body 1, and a horizontally rotatable handle holder 10 is connected to the standing piece 8 through a hinge 9 so that the handle holder 10 is held. Is configured to engage and disengage with the tilted handle 6 by its horizontal rotation.

Further, in the invention of claim 2 , the horizontal cylinder 3 is continuously provided through the upper surface support cylinder 2 of the plug main body 1 which is fitted in a watertight manner to the mouth neck portion of the container body so as to communicate the inside, and the horizontal cylinder An intermediate portion of a nozzle 4 having a closed rear end is fitted in a watertight manner in a watertight manner so as to be rotatable and incapable of slipping out, and the middle portion of the nozzle 4 is rotated by one of the nozzles. A window hole 5 is formed in a proper place to be opened with the support cylinder 2 and to be closed by turning to the other side,
Further, at the rear end of the exposed nozzle 4, in a liquid pouring stopper having a handle 6 for rotating the nozzle in both the opening direction and the closing direction, the liquid pouring stopper is provided at an appropriate position on the upper surface of the stopper body 1.

[0007]

Because of the above-described structure, in any of the inventions, in using the handle, the stopper body 1 is fitted to the mouth and neck of the container body containing the liquid and the locking means 7 is detached. When 6 is tilted to one side, the nozzle 4 is rotated to one side and the window hole 5 is opened to the support cylinder 2. When the container body is tilted in this state, the liquid in the container body is It flows out to the outside through the support cylinder 2, the window hole 5 and the nozzle 4. Next, if the handle 6 is tilted to the other side, the nozzle 4 is rotated to the other side,
The window hole 5 is closed, and the outflow of liquid is blocked. In this state,
When the locking means 7 is engaged with the handle 6, the movement of the handle 6 is locked and the outflow prevention state is secured.

Further, the handle in engagement and disengagement of the handle 6 of the locking means 7, it is sufficient merely horizontally rotating the handle retainer 10, thereby, Shin Demawa kinematic the handle holding 10 was inclined to the other The handle retainer 10 that has locked 6 and is rotated backward is released from the handle 6 to release the lock.

Further, according to the second aspect of the invention, the nozzle cap 11 fitted to the nozzle 4 also prevents the liquid from flowing out and prevents the liquid from leaking twice. Then, the elastic strip 12 keeps the nozzle cap 11 always in place so as to eliminate the loss.
