DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cap with a small lid used for a container for containing powder or liquid contents.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in a cap with a small lid, a small lid is connected to a cap body via a hinge (hinge) so as to be openable and closable. However, in order to prevent accidental leakage of contents,
The small lid was tightly fitted to the cap body. In particular, a cap with a small lid used for a container that needs to be carried has the small lid fitted to the cap body more strongly.

[0003]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional cap with a small lid, when the small lid is opened from the cap body to open the container, the small lid is firmly fitted to the cap body. For this reason, the small lid is difficult to open from the cap main body, and especially for children and elderly people, it is sometimes difficult to open the container. In addition, even though the small lid is firmly fitted to the cap body as described above, when carrying, for example, in a bag or the like, the protrusion is caught on the small lid and the container is opened. And the contents leaked into the bag.

The present invention solves the above-mentioned problem of the conventional cap with a small lid. When the container is sealed, the small lid does not open carelessly. An object of the present invention is to provide a cap with a small lid that can easily open the small lid from the cap body with a small force.

[0005]

According to the present invention, there is provided a cap with a small lid which is opened with a button for opening attached to the cap body, the small lid being mounted on the cap body, wherein the small lid has a cap on one side of the outer periphery. It is connected to the upper side of the main body so as to be openable and closable via a hinge, and a fitting portion having an outer fitting step and an inner fitting projection is vertically provided at an outer peripheral position facing the hinge, and the cap body is An opening button receiving recess is provided on one side surface of the peripheral wall corresponding to the fitting portion of the small lid, and sliding grooves are provided opposite to the left and right side surfaces of the opening button receiving recess, respectively, and fitted above the rear surface. A step is provided, and a fitting protrusion is provided at the upper end of the rear surface above the fitting step, and the opening button is
Sliding protrusions are provided opposite to the left and right side surfaces, respectively, a fitting step is provided on a rear side surface above the sliding protrusion, a fitting surface is provided on an upper surface above the fitting step, and the fitting step is provided. A cap with a small lid, wherein a spring is provided on a lower back side surface.

[0006]

The cap with a small lid according to the present invention, when attached to the mouth of the container and sealing the container, has the concave portion for opening the button for opening of the cap body with the small lid attached to the cap body. The fitting projection at the upper end on the back side of the fitting is fitted with the fitting projection inside the fitting part of the small lid, and the fitting step surface outside the fitting part of the small lid and the opening attached to the cap body Since the mating surface on the upper surface of the opening button fits with the mating surface on the back of the opening button receiving recess and the mating surface on the opening button, the small lid is It does not open carelessly from the main unit.

When opening the container, first,
When pressing the lower outer surface provided with a spring on the back surface of the opening button attached to the cap body with a fingertip,
The lower part is pushed in and tilted using the sliding protrusions on the left and right sides inserted into the sliding grooves on the side of the opening button receiving recessed part of the cap body as the rotation axis, and the fitting step of the opening button and the opening of the cap body are opened. The fitting with the fitting step on the back side of the button receiving recessed part is released. Next, the opening button is slid upward with a fingertip and pushed up, and the sliding projections on the left and right sides of the opening button slide in the sliding grooves on the left and right sides of the opening button receiving recess to open the opening button. The button moves upward, and the fitting step surface of the opening button pushes up the tip of the fitting part of the small lid,
The fitting projection inside the fitting portion of the small lid and the fitting projection at the upper end of the back of the opening button receiving recess of the cap body are disengaged, and the small lid is opened from the cap body using the hinge as a rotation axis. Can be. This opening operation is only to press the lower outer surface of the opening button with a fingertip and slide it upward,
The small lid can be easily opened from the cap body with a small force.
