Further, since the cap is removed from the container main body, the contents can be taken out smoothly without fail.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings relating to the embodiments.
The container main body 1 uses a commercially available bottle made of known glass, resin, metal or the like, and a cap 2 is screwed into an upper mouth portion. The cap 2 includes a vertically long inner cylinder 4 that forms a storage chamber 3 as an outer lid member A and a skirt-like screwed outer cylinder 5 integrally formed on the outer periphery of the inner cylinder 4. Is screwed into a spiral (male screw) 7 outside the opening of the container body 1.
Reference numeral 8 denotes an inclined wall surface that is integrally formed with an inclination at the lower bottom portion of the inner cylinder 4, and a score (guide groove portion that facilitates separation) 9 is formed at the lower edge of the inner cylinder 4. The score 9 is formed in a horseshoe manner so that the horseshoe-shaped mouth opening 15 is located at the lowest part of the inclined wall surface 8.

  The inner plug member B is fitted to the outer lid member A described above. That is, 10 is a plug cylinder portion that rotates concentrically with respect to the inner cylinder 4 of the storage chamber 3 and is fitted inside the inner cylinder 4 so as to have a plug function without impairing the storage capacity of the storage chamber 3. Formed in a pipe shape, a projection 14 that functions as a cutter that can move along a thin-walled score (guide groove) 9 that reaches the bottom of the inner cylinder 4 is provided at the lower end of the plug cylinder 10. A hook-like circular stopper (convex portion) 11 a formed integrally with the screwed outer cylinder 5 is provided on the upper part of the screwed outer cylinder 5 of the inner cylinder 4, and an inner portion of the upper knob ring 12 of the plug cylinder part 10 is provided. An annular circular stopper (concave portion) 12a integrally formed on the peripheral portion overcomes the circular stopper 11a by pressurization, and the cylindrical axial movement is tightly fixed by engagement between the annular shape and the hook shape. As a result, the inner plug member B is configured to be locked by the stoppers 11a and 12a in a state in which the movement in the vertical direction is restricted while allowing the relative rotation in the cap 2 opening direction with respect to the outer lid member A. In accordance with the artificial relative rotation operation of the inner plug member B, the projection 14 at the lower end of the plug tube portion 10 follows the horseshoe-like score (guide groove portion) 9 provided on the inclined wall surface 8 at the bottom of the inner tube 4. Then, the inclined wall surface 8 is opened by cutting the score (guide groove portion) 9 while cutting.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the protrusion 14 at the lower end of the plug cylinder part 10 is positioned with a gap S above the bottom of the inclined wall 8 of the inclined wall surface 8 at the bottom of the inner cylinder 4, The peripheral edge of the inclined wall surface 8 with the protrusion 14 at the lower end of the plug tube portion 10 leaving the inclined lowermost opening portion 15 of the inclined wall surface 8 with the relative rotation operation of the inner plug member B by the artificial operation of the knob ring 12. Can be opened in a horseshoe-like manner, and the inclined wall surface 8 can be opened in the shape of a horseshoe-like tongue, leaving the lowermost part of the inclined wall surface 8. As described above, it is possible to partially open the inclined wall surface 8 by artificially rotating the position of the knob ring 12 and adjusting the position of the knob ring 12 after the opening operation. The opening state of the inclined wall surface 8 can be reliably held.

  13 is a flange formed integrally with the plug cylinder 10 and the knob ring 12 on the ceiling of the knob ring 12 around the outer periphery of the upper edge of the plug cylinder part 10, and the upper end of the inner cylinder 4 is tightly fitted to the outside. In a state where the knob ring 12 is fixedly locked to the inner cylinder 4 by the circular stoppers 11 a and 12 a, the upper edge portion of the inner cylinder 3 is in close contact with the ceiling of the knob ring 12. Further, since the knob ring 12 is formed in an umbrella shape, the umbrella-shaped hem part 12b of the knob ring 12 covers the entire circumference of the skirt-like shoulder part 5a of the screwed outer cylinder 5, thereby improving hygiene. The appearance can be improved and the appearance can be improved, and the operation of manually gripping and rotating the knob ring 12 when necessary can be smoothly performed.

As in the above embodiment, the knob ring 12 is fitted and pressurized to the inner cylinder 4 to engage the stoppers 11a and 12a to integrally connect the inner cylinder 4 and the knob ring 12, and the inner cylinder 4 is accommodated in the storage chamber. 3 can be formed closely. Accordingly, the portion of the storage chamber 3 is maintained in a state where the inner cylinder 4 is securely sealed, so that what is stored in the storage chamber 3 is not accidentally leaked and can be stored for a long time. .
The storage chamber 3 and the inner cylinder 4 are formed of synthetic resin or the like, but the material is not limited to these.

  As an example of use, for example, a cap 2 filled with a powdery or liquid extract raw material is screwed into a container body 1 filled with water (mineral water) and used. When the knob ring 12 is rotated in the circumferential direction with respect to the screwed outer cylinder 5 by an artificial operation as required, the projection 14 on the lower edge of the plug cylinder portion 10 is inclined to the lower edge of the inner cylinder 4. The inclined wall surface 8 is rotated along the score 9 of the inclined wall surface 8, and is cut along the score 9, leaving a horseshoe-shaped mouth opening 15 having a score 9 at the lower end of the inner cylinder 4, and having a tongue-like shape. The container 3 is opened, and the extract base material in the container 3 is dropped into the water of the container body 1. As a result, the extract base is diluted to a state suitable for drinking, and is diluted immediately before drinking. As a result, the extract is not deteriorated or deteriorated by maintaining the concentration of the extract at a high level for a long time. It is possible to prevent the effect of the extract from being exerted more effectively on the drinker.

  When the extract is mixed and poured out from the container main body 1, the cap 2 is removed from the container main body 1, so that the mouth of the container main body 1 is completely released and can be taken out without any excess. Moreover, since the inner cylinder 4 and the plug cylinder part 10 of the storage chamber 3 are concentric cylinders, the assembly process of the storage chamber 4 is simple and can be ensured without impairing the storage capacity of the upper storage chamber 4. Further, in the embodiment of the present invention, by adjusting the pivoting position of the knob ring 12 when the accommodation chamber 3 is opened, the inclined wall surface 8 is pushed down to the lower end of the inner cylinder 4 by the protrusion 14 so as to maintain the opening. Therefore, the extract in the storage chamber 3 can be reliably injected into the container body 1 and the inclined wall surface 8 is only divided, and there is no risk that section waste or the like will fall into the container body 1. This is prevented from swallowing.

  The cap with a storage chamber of the present invention can be used as a cap for various two-component mixing in addition to health drinks. Further, since a commercially available container body can be used, it is possible to trade only with a cap with a storage chamber.
