[0006]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

[0007] The beverage container 1 of the present invention includes a container body 2, a stopper body 3, and a rod stopper member 4.

The container 2 may be a bottle type made of synthetic resin, glass, or the like, and may have a ridge or a thread provided around the mouth and neck portion for locking a spout.
The container body 2 in the illustrated example has a mouth and neck 7 standing upright from a body 5 via a shoulder 6, and a thread is provided around the outer periphery of the mouth and neck 7. Further, in order to make it easier for the liquid to flow out, the container body 2 is formed of a synthetic resin, and the body portion 5 is made elastically squeezable.

As shown in FIG. 1, an inner stopper 8 may be attached to the upper end of the mouth and neck portion 7 of the container body 2 for the purpose of more reliably preventing liquid leakage during storage or distribution. The illustrated inner plug 8 is formed of a synthetic resin, and has a fitting cylinder liquid-tightly fitted to the upper inner peripheral end of the mouth and neck part 7 and a flange extending from the upper end edge of the fitting cylinder to the mouth and neck part 7. It is attached to the container body 2 while being in contact with the upper surface. A lid plate extends from the lower edge of the fitting cylinder to close the opening of the mouth and neck 7.

The plug body 3 is made of synthetic resin, elastomer, or the like, and has a top plate 10 extending inward from an upper end edge of a peripheral wall 9 fitted to the outer periphery of the mouth and neck portion 7 and a central portion of the top plate. The elastic cylinder 11 is erected upward with the base end opened, and the drinking nozzle 12 is erected above the upper edge of the elastic cylinder 11. The stopper body 3 may be provided with a thread around the inner surface of the peripheral wall 9 and screwed around the neck of the container body as shown in the illustrated example, or alternatively, may be provided with a ridge provided around the inner peripheral surface thereof. The protrusion may be fitted over the ridge provided on the outer peripheral surface of the neck portion. In addition, in the illustrated example, a bellows is employed as the elastic cylinder 11; however, the present invention is not limited to this, and it is sufficient that the drinking nozzle 12 can be elastically deformed so as to shift in a direction perpendicular to the axis. It may be a cylindrical shape.

The drinking nozzle 12 is for drinking the stored liquid in addition to the portion, and therefore, a diameter suitable for the drinking nozzle is selected. Further, a flange portion 13 for abutting and locking the lips is provided on the outer periphery of the drinking nozzle 12.

The plug member 4 is made of synthetic resin, elastomer, or the like. The rod member 4 is formed from the center of a supporting plate 14 having a peripheral portion sandwiched between the upper surface of the container neck 7 and the top plate 10 of the plug member 4. A stopper 15 is erected. The support plate 14 connects the rod stopper 15 to an elastic cylinder.
In the illustrated example, it has a seal cylinder portion 14a that fits tightly on the outer periphery of the plug main body peripheral wall 9 when the inner plug 8 is removed. A fitting recess 14b is provided for fitting an inner wall 16 extending from the inner peripheral edge. The rod stopper 15 prevents leakage of the liquid with the seal ridge 17, and may be formed as a hollow with a lower end opened as shown in the example in the figure or may be solid.

Further, the upper end of the outer periphery of the rod stopper 15 is pressed against the inner peripheral edge of a sealing ridge 17 projecting from the inner surface of the drinking nozzle 12 to prevent leakage of liquid from this part. Board
14 is provided with a window 18 for liquid distribution. And
When the drinking nozzle 12 is displaced in the direction perpendicular to the axis against the elastic force of the elastic cylinder 11, the rod plug 15 and the sealing ridge 17 are disengaged from each other and the inside and outside of the container communicate. ing. In the illustrated example, when the drinking nozzle 12 is displaced in a direction perpendicular to the axis, as shown in FIG. 2, a part of the sealing ridge 17 rides on the upper surface of the rod stopper 15, and the liquid in the container body moves toward the drinking nozzle 12. It is configured to be able to flow out. Therefore, the outer peripheral upper end edge of the rod stopper 15 may have a slightly smaller diameter as shown in the illustrated example, or may be formed in a tapered shape descending outward, and the upper end edge corner portion may be rounded as shown in the illustrated example. . Window 18
Is for communicating between the inside of the container body 2 and the inside of the elastic cylinder 11, and the shape and size thereof can be appropriately selected.

The drinking container of the present invention may be provided with a cap 19 as shown in the illustrated example. The cap 19 may be any as long as it covers the drinking nozzle 12 to prevent dust or the like from adhering to the nozzle. For example, as shown in the example of the drawing, a material in which the elastic cylinder 11 and the drinking nozzle 12 are covered and the lower end portion is detachably fitted to the outer peripheral upper portion of the stopper body peripheral wall 9 can be adopted.

An example of using the beverage container 1 configured as described above will be described. When the contents liquid is not used during transportation or storage, the operation is performed with the inner stopper 8 attached as shown in FIG. In use, the cap 19, the plug body 3 and the rod plug member 4 are removed from the state shown in FIG. 1, the inner plug 8 is removed, and then the plug body 3 and the rod plug member 4 are mounted again for use. . At the time of use, the drinking nozzle 12 is added, and if the drinking nozzle 12 is displaced in a direction perpendicular to the axis while tilting the container body 2, the pressure contact of the sealing ridge 17 is released and the liquid in the container body is opened through the window hole.
Through the inside of the elastic cylinder 11 through 18, the liquid flows out from the gap between the rod stopper 15 and the sealing ridge 17 through the drinking nozzle 12, and can be drunk. At this time, the body is appropriately squeezed according to the remaining amount of the liquid. When the drinking nozzle 12 is released from being displaced, the drinking nozzle 12 returns to the center due to the elastic restoring force of the elastic cylinder 11, and the upper end of the outer periphery of the rod 15 is pressed against the inner periphery of the sealing ridge 17 to shut off the inside and outside of the container. .

[0016]

As described above, the beverage container according to the present invention comprises:
By adopting the configuration described above, it is possible to use the stored liquid partially or stepwise, and in particular, it is convenient to carry without using up the whole after opening when carrying out, etc., and furthermore, in addition to the drinking nozzle 12 The stored liquid can be drunk as needed by a simple method of shifting in the direction perpendicular to the axis. In addition, since the drinking nozzle 12 and the inside of the container body 2 are always closed by the rod stopper 15 and the sealing ridge 17, even if the container is tilted or the container is accidentally knocked down, leakage of the liquid is prevented. It can be prevented.
