Description

技術分野
本発明は、マヨネーズ、ケチャップ、お好み焼きソース、とんかつソース、蜂蜜、練りからし、練りわさび、ソフトマーガリンその他の粘稠な内容物を充填する可撓性又は柔軟性容器の口部に装着される排出口を有したキャップ装置に係り、詳しくは、蓋面に少なくとも一のアウトプット開口を形設した内栓キャップ部材と、該内栓キャップ部材の概略上半部に回動可能に被冠され、蓋面に形状の異なる複数のアウトプット開口を形設した外栓キャップ部材からなる二重構造により、協働的に排出流路のアウトプット開口を切替え可能で内容物の排出量又は排出形状を変更可能とした排出切替式キャップ装置に関する。
ここで、アウトプット開口は、内容物の排出流路の開放端として形設された排出口を言うものとする。また、排出量又は排出形状は、排出形態と互換的に使用する。なお、キャップ装置は、当然に衛生保護キャップ（カバーキャップ）を付帯又は付属する場合がある。
背景技術
従来より、マヨネーズ等の粘稠な内容物を充填した可撓性又は柔軟性容器の蓋（キャップ装置）は、卑近なところでは、蓋面に排出口（アウトプット開口）を形設した内キャップを有し、蓋面保護のために外キャップ（衛生保護キャップ）を被冠したものである。
ここで、排出口は固定的な円形又は星形が一般的であり、当然のことながら圧排される内容物の排出形状も定形に近い。
ところで、粉状や粒状の調味料を内容物とする振り出し容器の蓋には、大小異なる排出口を有し、外キャップを回動させて開閉し、かつ、排出量を切替えるようにしたものがある。
しかしながら、マヨネーズ等の粘稠な内容物に対する排出切替えを手段構成した蓋（キャップ装置）は見あたらない。
こうしたなかで、お好み焼きやサラダやとんかつなどにマヨネーズやソースをかけようとするとき、平板状や糸状にかけるといった排出形態が望まれることがあるが、こうした場合には刷毛で塗るとか、やや高所から振りかける（注ぐ）といった操作により間に合わせてきた。
ところで、市販のマヨネーズ等の容器の既設蓋はねじ式であるものが多く、これを取り外して排出切替え可能な複数の排出口を有するキャップ装置に付け替えると、数種類の排出形態が選択できるという利便性があり、容易に上記所望が叶うというメリットを獲得できるはずである。
ここで、容量により容器の口部の口径が異なる場合は、例えば内外面に螺子を切ったナット状のリングスペーサーを使用すればよいであろう。〔後述〕
本発明はこのような事情に鑑みなされたものであって、内栓キャップ部材と外栓キャップ部材の二重構造からなる新たなキャップ構造により、協働的にアウトプット開口を切替え可能で内容物の排出量又は排出形状を変更可能とした排出切替式キャップ装置を提案するものである。
また、マヨネーズ等の容器の既設蓋に代替して付け替え容易で多目的の排出形態を選択できる厨房用付属品としての物品性を有した排出切替式キャップ装置を提案するものである。
発明の開示
本発明は、粘稠な内容物を充填する可撓性又は柔軟性容器の口部に装着され、蓋面に少なくとも一の固定的に機能するアウトプット開口を形設した内栓キャップ部材と、該内栓キャップ部材の概略上半部に回動可能に被冠され、蓋面に形状が異なり各別に機能する複数のアウトプット開口を形設した外栓キャップ部材を具備し、前記外栓キャップ部材のアウトプット開口を、異なる回動位置で前記内栓キャップ部材のアウトプット開口と一致又は整合可能に配設した排出切替式キャップ装置である。
そして、前記外栓キャップ部材を回動操作することにより、前記内栓キャップ部材との間で協働的に内容物の排出流路のアウトプット開口を切替え、排出量又は排出形状を変更可能とするとともに、不一致又は不整合位置では、前記内栓キャップ部材の蓋面と前記外栓キャップ部材の蓋内面を密着状態において栓封可能とする排出切替え機構を有するものとしている。
発明を実施するための最良の形態
本発明を実施するための最良の形態は、上記構成において、内栓キャップ部材は、蓋面の直径方向に中心部で断絶する断続スリットを設けている。また、断続スリット線上の中心からの点対称位置に対向形成され、後述の第１実施例の如く各断続スリットの側縁の一部、又は後述の第２実施例の如く中心部側の各断続スリット端を拡開した切欠き部を設けている。これらは、それぞれ固定的に機能するアウトプット開口を構成する。さらに、キャップ基端の内壁には容器の口部に適合する取着手段を設けている。
なお、切欠き部を含む断続スリット（アウトプット開口）に至るキャップ内空間を先細に絞って内容物の排出流路を形設する場合がある。〔後述の第１実施例〕
外栓キャップ部材は、蓋面の直径方向に中心で交差するスリットと細孔を列設した点列孔をそれぞれ設けている。また、スリット線上の中心からの点対称位置に対向形成され、後述の第１実施例の如く該スリットの側縁の一部を拡開した切欠き部、又は後述の第２実施例の如く穿孔形成した切欠き孔を設けている。これらは、各別に機能する複数のアウトプット開口を構成する。さらに、キャップ基端の内壁には内栓キャップの外周に適合する冠着手段を設ている。
なお、スリット、点列孔、及び切欠き部（孔）と離隔した蓋面内の周縁近傍に少なくとも１個の単孔を増設する場合がある。〔後述の第２実施例〕
排出切替え機構は、固定的な内栓キャップ部材のアウトプット開口に対し、外栓キャップ部材のアウトプット開口は、外栓キャップ部材を回動操作することにより、それぞれ異なる回動位置で一致又は整合可能に配設されており、内栓キャップ部材と協働して排出流路のアウトプット開口を切替え可能で、内容物の排出量又は排出形状を変更可能とする。当然のことながら、不一致又は不整合位置では、内栓キャップ部材の蓋面と外栓キャップ部材の蓋内面を密着状態において内容物の排出流路を栓封可能とする。
ここで、外栓キャップ部材の各アウトプット開口は口縁部にエッジ又は口唇を凸設するのが好ましい。これにより排出時に内容物が滞留（付着）するのを防止して、スムーズな流動排出が可能となる。
また、内栓キャップ部材の外周面に、各アウトプット開口に対応するそれぞれの排出形態を示す標示又は標識を設け、外栓キャップ部材の外周面には回動マーカーを設け、該回動マーカーと前記標示又は標識を一致させることにより、選択された排出形態を表示することが望まれる。使用上の利便性が増補されるからである。
さらに、外栓キャップ部材の蓋面を被覆する脱着可能な衛生保護キャップを有したものとすることを推奨する。この場合、衛生保護キャップの蓋面が、その周縁を拡径又は延長したフランジ部を有したものとし、装着により、容器を逆立させて自立可能に形成するのが好ましい。不使用時の収納が容易であり、再使用時に内容物の残量が少なくなっていても、圧排が容易だからである。
（実施例１）
本発明の一実施例（以下、第１実施例。）について添付図面を参照しながら以下説明する。
第１図及び第２図に示すように、本実施例のキャップ装置は、粘稠な内容物を充填した可撓性又は柔軟性容器６の口部に装着される排出口を有した排出切替式キャップ装置Ｘであって、内栓キャップ部材１と、該内栓キャップ部材１の概略上半部に回動可能に被冠される外栓キャップ部材２からなるものである。
内栓キャップ部材１は、蓋面の直径方向に中心部で断絶する断続スリット１１を形設するとともに、該断続スリット１１に至るキャップ内空間を先細に絞って一方向断面視概略Ａ形に斜面形成した内容物の排出流路Ｆを形設し、かつ、断続スリット１１線上の中心からの点対称位置に対向形成され、各断続スリット１１の側縁（排出流路Ｆのアウトプット開口に同じ。）の一部をそれぞれ拡開した切欠き部１２を形設し、キャップ基端の内壁には容器の口部に適合する取着手段３を設けたものである。
市販の容器口部と排出キャップは螺合のものが多いので、一般的な取着手段３は螺着であり、キャップ基端の内壁には螺子切り３１をしておけばよい。
外栓キャップ部材２は、蓋面の直径方向に中心で交差するスリット２１と細孔を列設した点列孔２３をそれぞれ形設し、かつ、スリット２１線上の中心からの点対称位置に対向形成され、該スリット２１の側縁の一部をそれぞれ拡開した切欠き部２２を形設し、キャップ基端の内壁には内栓キャップ部材１の外周に適合する冠着手段４を設けたものである。
一般的な冠着手段４は、内栓キャップ部材１の外周に摺動溝４１を形設し、これに適合するキャップ基端の内壁には突起又は内向きフランジ４２を設けて、回動可能に嵌着するようにすればよい。なお、あわせて位置決め用の突起４３を付設するのが好ましい。
そして、内栓キャップ部材１の断続スリット１１及び切欠き部１２と、外栓キャップ部材２のスリット２１、点列孔２３及び切欠き部２２を、外栓キャップ部材２の回動によりそれぞれ異なる回動位置で一致又は整合可能に配設し、不一致又は不整合位置では内栓キャップ部材１の蓋面と外栓キャップ部材２の蓋内面を密着状態において内容物の排出流路Ｆを栓封するとともに、外栓キャップ部材２を回動操作することにより、内栓キャップ部材１と協働して排出流路Ｆのアウトプット開口を切替え可能で、内容物の排出量又は排出形状を変更可能な排出切替え機構を有するものとしている。
なお、排出流路Ｆの断面内に複数の棒状体を渡架し〔第２図〕、内容物の流れを分散するようにしている。但し、不可欠な要素というわけではない。

図示するように、外栓キャップ部材２を回動操作することにより、外栓キャップ部材２のスリット２１と内栓キャップ部材１の断続スリット１１のそれぞれを一致させたアウトプット開口を選択する。
そこで、容器に外圧を加えて内容物を押し出す（圧排）すると、内容物はスリット２１（１１）から平板状に排出されるので、お好み焼きやパンなどの平面上に薄く平たく塗ることができる。

そこで、容器に外圧を加えて内容物を押し出す（圧排）すると、内容物は切欠き部２２（１２）及びこれを繋ぐスリット２１（１１）から厚肉状に従来的な容量で排出される。
第５図に、排出切替えの他の態様（糸状の排出形態）を示す。（ａ）が斜視説明図、（ｂ）が平面視模式説明図、及び（ｃ）が排出形態模式説明図である。ここで、斜視説明図（ａ）においては、説明の理解を援けるために点列孔２３（外栓）と断続スリット１１（内栓）との位置関係を明示している。
図示するように、外栓キャップ部材２を回動操作することにより、外栓キャップ部材２の点列孔２３と内栓キャップ部材１のスリット１１を一致させたアウトプット開口を選択する。
そこで、容器に外圧を加えて内容物を押し出す（圧排）すると、内容物は内栓キャップ部材１の断続スリット１１を介して点列孔２３（外栓）からから糸状に排出される。
一方、排出を要しないときは、外栓キャップ部材２を回動操作することにより、外栓キャップ部材２の各アウトプット開口（２１，２２，２３）が内栓キャップ部材１のアウトプット開口（１１，１２）と不一致又は不整合となる位置に置き、内栓キャップ部材１の蓋面と外栓キャップ部材２の蓋内面を密着状態において内容物の排出流路Ｆを栓封する。
なお、外栓キャップ部材２の蓋面を衛生的に保護するために衛生保護キャップ５を嵌めるようにしている。第６図に不使用時の栓封状態を示す。

In particular, the cap device has a discharge port, and more specifically, an inner cap cap member having at least one output opening formed on the lid surface, and a substantially crowned upper half of the inner cap cap member. The output structure of the discharge channel can be switched cooperatively by the dual structure consisting of the outer cap cap member with a plurality of different output openings on the lid surface. The present invention relates to a discharge switching type cap device that can be changed in shape.
Here, the output opening refers to a discharge port formed as an open end of a discharge channel for contents. The discharge amount or discharge shape is used interchangeably with the discharge form. Of course, the cap device may be accompanied or attached with a sanitary protection cap (cover cap).
BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, a lid of a flexible or flexible container (cap device) filled with viscous contents such as mayonnaise has a discharge port (output opening) formed on the lid surface in a familiar place. It has an inner cap and is covered with an outer cap (sanitary protection cap) for protecting the lid surface.
Here, the discharge port is generally a fixed circular shape or a star shape, and the discharge shape of the contents to be evacuated is close to a fixed shape as a matter of course.
By the way, the lid of the shaker container containing powdery or granular seasoning as a content has a discharge port that is different in size, opens and closes by rotating the outer cap, and switches the discharge amount. is there.
However, there is no lid (cap device) that constitutes means for switching the discharge of viscous contents such as mayonnaise.
Under these circumstances, when trying to put mayonnaise or sauce on okonomiyaki, salad or tonkatsu, it may be desirable to use a flat or threaded discharge form. It has been in time by sprinkling (pouring).
By the way, the existing lids of containers such as commercially available mayonnaise are often screw-type, and if they are removed and replaced with a cap device having a plurality of discharge ports that can be switched to discharge, the convenience of being able to select several types of discharge forms There should be an advantage that the above-mentioned desire can be easily achieved.
Here, when the diameter of the mouth portion of the container differs depending on the capacity, for example, a nut-shaped ring spacer having a screw cut on the inner and outer surfaces may be used. [See below]
The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and the output cap can be switched cooperatively by a new cap structure comprising a dual structure of an inner cap cap member and an outer plug cap member. This proposes a discharge switching type cap device that can change the discharge amount or the discharge shape.
Moreover, it replaces with the existing lid | cover of containers, such as mayonnaise, and proposes the discharge switching type cap apparatus with the article | item property as an accessory for kitchens which can be replaced easily and can select the multipurpose discharge | emission form.
DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an inner cap cap which is attached to the mouth of a flexible or flexible container filled with viscous contents and has at least one fixedly functioning output opening formed on the lid surface. A member, and an outer cap member that is rotatably crowned on the upper half of the inner cap member, and has a plurality of output openings that have different shapes and function on the lid surface, It is a discharge switching type cap device in which the output opening of the outer plug cap member is arranged to be coincident with or aligned with the output opening of the inner plug cap member at different rotational positions.
Then, by rotating the outer cap cap member, the output opening of the discharge channel for the contents can be switched cooperatively with the inner cap cap member, and the discharge amount or the discharge shape can be changed. In addition, in the mismatched or mismatched position, a discharge switching mechanism is provided that allows the lid surface of the inner cap cap member and the lid inner surface of the outer plug cap member to be plugged in a close contact state.
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The best mode for carrying out the present invention is the above-described configuration. In the above-described configuration, the inner cap cap member is provided with an intermittent slit that is cut off at the center in the diameter direction of the lid surface. Further, it is formed opposite to a point-symmetrical position from the center on the intermittent slit line, and a part of the side edge of each intermittent slit as in the first embodiment described later, or each intermittent on the center side as in the second embodiment described later. A notch with an enlarged slit end is provided. These constitute output openings which function in a fixed manner. Furthermore, an attachment means adapted to the mouth of the container is provided on the inner wall of the cap base end.
In addition, there is a case where the content discharge passage is formed by narrowing the space in the cap leading to the intermittent slit (output opening) including the notch. [First embodiment to be described later]
The outer cap cap member is provided with a dot-sequence hole in which slits and pores that intersect at the center in the diameter direction of the lid surface are arranged. In addition, it is formed oppositely at a point-symmetrical position from the center on the slit line, and a notch in which a part of the side edge of the slit is expanded as in the first embodiment described later, or perforated as in the second embodiment described later. The formed notch hole is provided. These constitute a plurality of output openings that function individually. Further, a crowning means adapted to the outer periphery of the inner cap cap is provided on the inner wall of the cap base end.
